Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau corrected a woman on her language when she asked a question during a town hall Friday.
The unidentified woman asked Trudeau whether the Canadian government could ease regulations on volunteering with religious organizations, according to the Washington Free Beacon.
"So, that’s why we came here today to ask you, to also look into the policies that religious charitable organizations have in our legislation so that it can also be changed because maternal love is the love that’s going to change the future of mankind,” said the woman, who was reportedly affiliated with the World Mission Society Church of God.
Trudeau immediately corrected her.
“We like to say ‘peoplekind,' not necessarily ‘mankind,' because it’s more inclusive,” he said.
The crowd clapped after Trudeau’s comments.
The Canadian government has cracked down on language inclusivity over the last week.
Canada’s Senate passed a bill Thursday to make the country’s national anthem gender neutral. The bill changes the second line of “O Canada” from “true patriot love, in all thy sons command” to “in all of us command.”
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

I'm afraid I wouldn't do well in such surroundings. My gut response (Fuck you, how's that for inclusive?) would probably slip out before my sense of self-preservation asserted itself.

tatortoddWhat a douche.
I was living in Can-eh-duh when Trudeau was elected, and I was shocked the hosers elected somebody even less qualified than 0bama. I've been back a few times and he is very unpopular in Alberta.
When he's done as PM, I wonder if he'll go back to being a cokehead snowboarder?

bigeinkcmoIt's funny how "mankind" is no good for these folks but then they are the same people that need the construct of race, gender-neutral pronouns and such. I guess I'll never understand.

He is as popular in our part of Ontario as a fart in an elevator.
