Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet is calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to apologize for the alleged actions of his father, claiming former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau asked one of Quebec's leading businesspeople to harm Quebec's economy and six million Quebecers. "I clearly call for the prime minister to apologize for such actions and I ask above all for us to respect democracy and the interests that Quebecers choose for themselves." (Drew Gragg/Canadian Press)"Today I'm not going to begin a historical debate with the Bloc Québécois MP," Trudeau said. Ambassador Thomas Enders said Pierre Trudeau might take a more aggressive approach to dealing with the fledgling PQ government. "The first Trudeau killed jobs in the West, and now we learn intentionally in Quebec," he told the House of Commons.
