‘For all that we celebrate here in Canada, there is a lot of work to do around the world, and we need to build up our allies and stand together strongly for rights, for opportunities and for the values we know unite our countries.’
Varadkar stated that more work was needed in areas like sexual assault and prevention of homophobic bullying.
He then went on to say that the two countries need to work together to establish equal rights.
The Canadian Prime Minister spoke about the anti-immigration rally in Quebec and said that it was not reflective of the country
‘I think Ireland and Canada have a lot in common,’ he said.
‘What we have most in common that we are countries that understand that diversity is our strength and our differences make us better.’
At an event earlier that day, Trudeau commented that the celebration was indicative of the country, and not in line with the anti-immigration rally in Quebec.
He added that a group of ‘angry, frustrated group of racists’ don’t determine what Canada is.
