Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Tuesday declared himself a “proud feminist” as he lamented Vice President Harris’ loss to President-elect Trump in the 2024 presidential election as just one recent example of a setback for women’s progress.
Trudeau delivered remarks in Ottawa at a gala for Equal Voice, an organization that works to improve gender representation in Canada’s politics.
“We were supposed to be on a steady, if difficult, march towards progress,” Trudeau said. “And yet, just a few weeks ago, the United States voted for a second time to not elect its first woman president.”
“Everywhere, women’s rights and women’s progress is under attack, overtly and subtly,” Trudeau continued. “I want you to know that I am, and always will be, a proud feminist. You will always have an ally in me and in my government.”
