Is Canada's Prime Minister a racist?

He just confused Japan with China in front of the Japanese Prime Minister. Does Canada's PM think all east Asians look alike? As a Canadian I am deeply embarrassed by our Peter Pan Prime Minister.

No, I don't think he's racist. He's got quite a bit on his plate right now with the scandal he's part of, and it probably weighs heavily on him, and no doubt it was a mistake on his part.

@soar2newhighs He is too lazy to listen to a briefing and made a complete ass of himself.... AGAIN! How embarrassing to be a Canadian and have him for a PM.

C'mon, don't be so hard on him and yourself; and NEVER be ashamed or Embarrassed to be a Canadian. I mean as an American, though I voted for Trump, he does IMO some very questionable things and has more baggage than an old Railway Express baggage car. That said, I'm grateful to be an American, and have the right and opportunity to voice my disapproval to any politician who IMO screws up.@hippyjoe1955

@soar2newhighs Have you seen the stuff PM shiny socks has pulled? If as a Canadian you are not embarrassed you are not paying attention. He screwed up on the world stage in Vietnam when he skipped the heads of states meeting and went socks shopping. He cost Canada preferred trade status with the US by stabbing POTUS in the back on the world stage. He embarrassed Canada by going to India and tried to be more Indian in dress and dance than the Indians. (He topped that off by bringing in a known terrorist on India's watch list and brought his own chef from Canada to prepare Indian food for his banquet. Then he forgot that Canada is 150 years old and forgot to name the province with the largest per-capita economy in Canada. He has since been left out of reforming NAFTA and is embroiled in scandal in Canada by trying to get a corrupt company off of legal penalty. He has since screwed up our relationship with China and now Japan.

@hippyjoe1955 A quick note here, and that is I have some friends in Canada and they've kept me abreast of what's been going on with Trudeau. We have enough though here with Trump, and as whether a Canadian should or should not be embarrassed; that's not my call to make. I appreciate your response though.

@soar2newhighs He is a massive embarrassment to Canada and should he become re elected Canada as we know it will cease to exist as the west an part of the north will become either their own country or join the US.
