During an exchange in the House of Commons on February 16, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused Conservative MPs sympathetic to the trucker convoy of standing with "people who wave swastikas." This comment came in response to a question from Conservative MP Melissa Lantsman, who is Jewish. 

Most likely, the majority of Canadians would agree that this was an offensive remark on the part of the Prime Minister, and would feel that a public apology is in order. Hopefully, the majority of Canadians can also see that this reflects badly on Mr. Trudeau's character, his leadership abilities, and the perception that people around the world hold of him.
