93

Alexa nalni has been uh had been an extraordinary Fighter for uh human rights for democracy and someone who was standing up for the Russian people standing up with extraordinary courage uh for uh a better future for Russia and for Russians uh and uh we know how much that scares and continues to scare

Vladimir Putin uh you we’ll we’ll find out more about these reports of his death but there is no question uh that he knew um that this was always going to be a possibility and he continued to exort everyone to continue to fight and to stand up for what is right to stand

Up for uh basic freedoms to stand up for democracy and I think uh on this day it is a moment to uh reflect on his courage on his inspiration for all of us and double and triple down in our resolve as Canadians and as a country uh to

Continue to stand up up against Putin uh particularly in regards to Ukraine but stand up for the values and principles we believe in in a world that is more challenging and more destabilized than uh than we’ve seen in a very very long time uh so you know we need to recommit

Ourselves every day uh to honor the fight that he and so many others who uh uh who uh have often given their their entire lives to um freedom of others um we need to take a moment to reflect on that

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reacts to reports of Alexei Navalny’s death, calling him an ‘extraordinary’ fighter for human rights and democracy.

  1. This guy gives billions of dollars to Saudi Arabia every year for something that we already have!!
    if you think this guy cares about human rights at all look into Saudi Arabia's human rights!
    You can't pretend that you care about something then turn around and support somebody that's the exact opposite.

  2. All of those hurt by this guy speaking up must be conservatives who want to turn our beautiful country into Russia or another democracy hating states. This is why I’m always shocked at conservative leaders who side with Russia or other nations that behave in such manner than their own citizens.
