Prime Minister Justin Trudeau declined to comment on U.S. President Donald Trump’s controversial tweets on Monday, saying Canadians already know his position.

Trudeau has also adopted legislation, making special accommodations for Muslims. As an example, they can cover their heads while swearing the Oath of Allegiance required to become a Canadian citizen, and banned pork in some school eateries.
