It would be helpful if, heading into the Oct. 2019 federal election, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau would provide us with a list of things Canadians can criticize his government for, without being accused of racism.

Because the list of things we can’t criticize the Trudeau government for, without being accused of racism by the Liberals, is getting alarmingly long.
