Canada's former religious freedom ambassador says the Trudeau government is displaying "totalitarian" tendencies with its controversial changes to the student summer jobs program. Bennett said his view was formed by his experiences abroad trying to protect the religious freedom of persecuted minorities. As Canada's religious freedom ambassador, his focus was on violations of religious freedom abroad. The previous Conservative government announced the creation of the short-lived religious freedom office during the 2011 federal election. But he went to Cardus because he wanted to keep working on religious freedom issues.
