Full title: 'I made a dumb joke that has gone viral': Trudeau says he wasn't serious about 'peoplekind' comment as he heads to Chicago for US mini-tour

Justin Trudeau said today he was just joking when he interrupted a woman to tell her to use the term 'peoplekind' instead of 'mankind' during a Q&A session.

You all know that I don't necessarily have the best of track records on jokes. I made a dumb joke a few days ago that seems to have gone a little viral,' Trudeau told reporters on Wednesday, as he boarded a plane in Ottawa to begin his US tour.

'It played well in the room and in context. Out of context it doesn't play so well and it's a little reminder to me that I shouldn't be making jokes even when I think they're funny.'

You deliberately interrupt someone talking, to correct her use of a specific term...and then claim it was a joke? Loser.

Uh huh, “I didn’t mean to look like a total dumbass.” Of course, all the Canadian sheeple (like their American counterparts) applauded.

I watched the Canadian election returns that night, and Trudeau and the Liberals absolutely STOMPED Harper and the Tories. It was a virtual wipe-out, from coast to coast. Definitely not a Quebec-only phenomenon.

Something is wrong with the brains of voters up there that they’d ever elect a guy like this. Oh, and he’s about as French as Patrick Stewart playing Jean-Luc Picard on Star Trek.

Only a moron, a retard or a five-year-old would think that “mankind” refers only to men.

Canada never recovered from the damage Pee Air Turd Dough did to the nation.

I was registered with the Conservative Party before and I talked with another Freeper max americana? He helped organize the Harper rally in Vancouver back in 06’. To put this into context, it’s like having Donald Trump have a campaign rally at Berkeley. There wont be another Harper. and BTW, every French PM from Chretien to Martin are ardent anti-Americans. Trudeau is in the same mold.

Why would I give a leftist enemy importing Islam on our northern border a break?

what a phoney...waving to a nonexistent crowd..Canadians do not normally fawn over their P.M. and in this case he is likely waving to the workers preparing to remove the stairway.

“This guy is a dope but if you look at the whole conversation in context, he probably was trying to make a joke.”

Perhaps but if you want to make sure people know it’s a joke you usually say “I’m joking” afterward.

So when people in the audience applauded that stupid comment, they were in on the joke?

I would not argue with you on any of that. Trudeau Sr. sure was no fan of the US either.

No, but it ended up with the NDP in charge of its Provincial government, which still blows my mind.

Typical liberal technique. Push the envelope as far as you can and when push back on, just say you were joking.

Liberals have gone to far, folks. Never trust them....never compromise with them...and simply push back and never stop.
