Sulzberger, the publisher.

– Support from allies on the India allegation: Trudeau stated that every ally he has spoken to has expressed unequivocal disapproval of violations of a country’s sovereignty and rule of law. He mentioned that people are quietly waiting to see how the situation unfolds, as standing up for the rule of law is a long-term process.

– Mood of Canadians and voters in Western nations: Trudeau acknowledged that people are currently frustrated and angry, even in Canada. He explained that citizens are upset with their governments due to various concerns and worries. However, he expressed optimism about improvements in the future, such as decreasing inflation and possible reductions in interest rates.
– Political consequences of public sentiment: Trudeau recognized that people’s loss of optimism and faith in institutions challenges the idea of progress. He mentioned that challenging and complex issues cannot be resolved with simplistic slogans and populist narratives. He expressed concern about the rise of anti-expert sentiment and emphasized the need to tackle the root causes of people’s pessimism, such as providing a path to success and addressing economic challenges.
– Wildfire season anticipation: Trudeau mentioned that while Canada is actively combating climate change, it will take time before the effects become less severe. He admitted that more frequent and intense wildfires are becoming the new normal and that Canada has the necessary resources and agreements with international firefighters to respond to these challenges.

As the Prime Minister completed his visit, he left an impression of a leader determined to navigate complex challenges and bring about positive change.
