Trudeau said in the Bloomberg interview: “Even in our election in 2015, I made a conscious choice to try to draw people together, to work on allaying fears rather than highlight them and exacerbating them. I was up against a government that ran on snitch lines against Muslims and headscarf bans.” This is the statement of a fearmongering liar. The Conservatives never campaigned on a headscarf ban. The so-called “snitch lines against Muslims” is a reference to the proposed barbaric cultural practices hotline, which was inspired by a number of well-publicized crimes. Among these were so-called honour killings of Sikh women in Canada by members of their family. The proposal was never targeted specifically at Muslims.
