Trudeau Says Being PM During The Pandemic Is Easier Because 'Canadians Are Good'

"We need to be there for each other," he said.

Senior Writer

For Justin Trudeau, leading the country during the pandemic is not as difficult as it could be because of how "good" Canadians are.

During a conversation with Vaccine Hunters Canada, Trudeau shared the one thing he always says to people when they tell him that it must be tough to be PM during the pandemic.

When that sentiment comes up in conversation, he replies with, "It'd be harder to be a leader of just about any other country in the world because Canadians are good. Canadians were there for each other."

Trudeau noted that it's not just about Canadians being nice, but it's also about being programmed to be good neighbours because of our long winters and how big the country is.

"We need to be there for each other and it's ingrained into us that you can't make it through alone," he said.
