UK - Visiting PMs Trudeau And Adern Introduced As “Two Of The Leading Feminists In The World”

Of course one would think London’s mayor be busy sweeping the streets in search of answers to the 59 deaths on his 2018 watch so far, instead he chose today to host an event for gender equality together with Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau and New Zealand Prime Minister Adern whom he announced to the podium as: “Two Of The Leading Feminists In the World.” For once we have to agree with Mr Khan on that one.

Mr Khan chose to welcome the Canadian and New Zealand PMs for a debate on gender and equality.

Canadian PM Mr Trudeau said to the audience of London school children that: “If you think about it, we are in a situation where men are unfairly given more opportunities, more power and more weight to what they say and do because we have an imbalance in our society.”

“Well, the men have to be encouraged and brought along and use that extra power and weight we give them to be part of making equality happen, to be part of the solution.”

After the event, Mr Khan stated: “What is fascinating about these two prime ministers is that they were keen to come to City Hall.”

“I am not the prime minister, I am the mayor of London, but (they came) to meet with young people and engage, and in this year when we commemorate 100 years since the first women got the right to vote.”
