PM calls her questions over asylum seeker costs “racism”

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau responded to heckling about irregular border crossers by telling a woman, “Your racism has no place here.” Trudeau made the remarks in a long French-language meeting in farm fields. The translation shown in the YouTube video turns racism into “intolerance of immigrants.” The woman interrupted him during an event in Quebec on Thursday to ask when the federal government would repay the province for the $146 million that Quebec says it has cost to handle an influx of asylum seekers.
