“My maternal grandfather was born in Scotland, so I do have some idea of the challenges it takes to come to Canada and has took over the sweep of history of Canada.”
Justin Trudeau on his deep, personal connection to the immigrant experience.
For the record, the grandfather Justin is referring to is James Sinclair, who came to Canada from Scotland more than one hundred years ago. Which is to say, Justin is practically one of the huddled masses himself! (As for the last line, “and has took over the sweep of history of Canada”? Your guess is as good as mine.)
