OTTAWA — Hate speech and the politics of division are creating a “dangerous path” for Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Monday as he vowed to steer clear of such roads and to continue calling out those who rely on “extremist” methods to make their voices heard. Trudeau made the comments when asked whether he went too far in accusing a Quebec woman of racism and intolerance as she heckled him Sunday during a rally in Quebec. The prime minister responded to the woman by accusing her of intolerance and racism and saying her sentiments were not welcome. “And there are people who are trying to feed fears and intolerance for a broad range of reasons…. It’s the prime minister who is creating divisions by shouting ‘racism’ at those who question his government’s immigration policies, she said.
