“Thank you very much for your donation tonight, I really appreciate the donation to the Liberal Party of Canada,” Trudeau said in a video posted to Twitter. The video showed Trudeau making a speech during a Laurier Club event at the Omni King Edward Hotel. Laurier events are party fundraisers and the protesters would have had to donate a minimum $1,500 to attend. Trudeau apologized for his comments Thursday morning, telling reporters in Halifax he regretted his response to the Grassy Narrows protestors. Trudeau said the donations will be returned to the protesters.
