\nWest Islanders filled Grill 21 restaurant in Dollard des Ormeaux, Oct. 31, for a breakfast with Justin Trudeau.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThe federal Liberal party leadership candidate appeared at ease and relaxed, sporting jeans, jacket and open-collar shirt while speaking without notes about his 21st-century vision for Canada.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nTrudeau stressed that he is offering pragmatism as an alternative to Canadians who are tired of politics-as-usual.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\u201cI\u2019m not so much preoccupied by ideologies,\u201d he told the early-morning crowd. \u201cThere is no more left and right. We need to elevate politics. I will draw policies from the left. I will draw policies from the right. The important thing is that they work.\u201d<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nNor is it about the middle ground. Trudeau said that Canada has changed, and that \u201cthere is no mainstream any more.\u201d<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nHe suggested that the political watchwords for the future will be \u201copenness and respect.\u201d<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\u201cCanada is a remarkable, improbable place,\u201d he observed. Describing the country\u2019s diverse politics, he remarked that \u201cmother nature doesn\u2019t work through homogeneity.\u201d<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\u201cIn Quebec, there is a strong mainstream culture that, in the rest of Canada, seems to have faded.\u201d<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nTrudeau observed that the cultural divide has nonetheless diminished dramatically. He cited an era long ago when, he said, there were once greater differences in Canada between French Catholics from Montreal and English Anglicans from Toronto \u201cthan between Israelis and Palestinians today.\u201d<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nTrudeau also expressed his concern for the increasingly squeezed middle class. He is concerned that the country\u2019s wealth is increasingly concentrated amongst a tiny and declining proportion of the population.<\/div>\n
