Justin Trudeau Accused Of ‘Anti-Christian’ Bias

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has sparked controversy
after referring to the Easter holidays as a “long weekend,” with
online commenters pointing out that the prime minister frequently
mentions other religious events.

“It’s the start of a long weekend, and I know that means you’d
normally be getting together with your entire family for a few days
of fun. But with the number of Covid-19 cases rising across the
country, we’re all going to have to do things differently again
this year,” Trudeau tweeted, before concluding that “next year’s
celebrations” would be “brighter.”

Though Trudeau’s message received thousands of likes, many
social media users soon realized the prime minister had carefully
avoided mentioning Easter by name throughout the statement.

“I’m so disappointed that our Canadian PM acknowledges other
religious holidays and chooses to be politically correct about
Christian ones,” tweeted^[1] one user,
noting that Easter is “the biggest Christian observance” and “not
just a long weekend.”

Others questioned why Trudeau – a Roman Catholic – and his
fellow government officials “always tweet out special religious
calendar events like Passover, Ramadan, and … Chinese New Year,”
but “have a problem with Easter,” and accused the prime minister of
spitting “on the face of all Christians.”
