Speaking on his similarity with US President Donald Trump he said they both were working towards the upliftment of middle class in their countries and that their policies worked well for the economy of the two countries.
On Immigration policies, he said that the countries should welcome the refugees who flee their countries to evade persecution.
He said "More countries need to do more to welcome immigrants not because that is the right thing to do, because refugees who flee the persecution in their country for a better life in another, are extremely grateful to the country that welcomes them. They work very hard and contribute tremendously to the growth of the country that welcomed them. That is the Canadian story."
Referring to the importanceof democratic independent media he said: "the media is 'frustrating' at times but it's essential to empower and support media as It fulfils an important duty of telling the governmentwhat it’s doing wrong".
