Being diplomatic in these circonstances was the right thing to do. It's not time to spill oil on the fire.

Keep pouring fuel on the fire, this guy is a clown

Singh is also silent on the persecution of Sikhs in Pakistan.

Who in specific has been racist with you, what was the reason and why were you a victim?

[davidblight]

His silence speaks loud enough, no need to repeat what everyone thinks.

[larsonclarke]

In the GTA, public housing is monopolized by victim culture gangs.

[oooo]

I think Trudeau and Singh are doing their roles properly. Trudeau's silence said a thousand words while Singh is representing what Trudeau was thinking

A superhero doesn’t ever have to think about what is wrong. He acts. And this is what a Prime Minister/President/King should do. If someone knows something is wrong ... do something.... say something. Anything. Or maybe his tele-prompter was just working a little slower that day. Crazy 5G! Thanks for the video.

Google ' Toronto Shootings' then hit 'images' .

I was expecting Singh to say something directly to trump but he is being passive aggressive instead....but you get two birds with one stone this way

[larsonclarke]

Old stock Canadians are dying on Canadian streets, must wait over a decade for affordable housing and are fearful of being labeled 'racist' for complying. Mr. Singh, you are over the top and unconstitutional. Stand down.

Jag meet I liked your ideas during the election, but completely disapprove of your approach lately. Public was right not to support you further. I will not either.

[larsonclarke]

"Only the colour of their skin" is rhetorical. What about behavior that statistics will verify?

[kimberlyi.hughes]

He did the right thing. It's called diplomacy.

Tory loves human rights topics. where are those tory leader? keep silence ??

[livnthedream]

You are naive Sir. A PM must be thoughtful and be careful, especially with tyrants, not to cause Canada damage.

[christineodonnell]

Justin is human to. He was silent ... who knows ..., the horrific stuff going down, maybe we should think mental heath. I'ts not a bad word.

[spidersence]

Trudeau said it all in 21 seconds by not saying a word...

[killtherapy]

his pause showed how forced his silence was. Ever hear of diplomacy
