If you needed one more reason to love Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, here it is.
“On behalf of our family, Sophie and I wish everyone marking Thai Pongal a joyful harvest festival,” he said.
Hailing Tamil-Canadians for their contribution, Trudeau, who is known to celebrate multiplicity of cultures, said the community had made Canada a “stronger and richer” nation.
“In 2016, the House of Commons voted unanimously to recognise every January as Tamil Heritage Month. I encourage everybody to reflect on the strong heritage of Canada's Tamil community. Our nation is stronger and richer because of Tamil-Canadians,” Trudeau said.
“We should seize every opportunity to celebrate the many cultures, languages and beliefs that make our country such a wonderful place to live,” he said.
