Justin Trudeau visits 'reoccupation' teepee on Parliament Hill
Prime minister said he delivered "a message of respect and reconciliation"
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau visited a teepee on Parliament Hill that was erected as a symbol of the unresolved grievances many Indigenous people have as the country is set to celebrate its 150th anniversary. The teepee was moved Thursday night, with the help of the RCMP, from a spot on the edge of the parliamentary lawn to a more prominent location next to the main stage in front of Centre Block...
... Trudeau also thanked the activists for "being these strong voices, for being courageous," while reiterating he was pleased that they could find a way to keep the teepee in place.
"We need to have a space for you," he said. "This is very visible, very present, and a counter balance to the narrative [of the 150 celebrations]."
