'It shouldn't be that way. It wasn't supposed to be that way,' Trudeau said at an Equal Voice Foundation event Tuesday, adding he is a proud feminist

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says women’s rights and women’s progress is under attack, pointing to the recent defeat of U.S. presidential candidate Kamala Harris as an example.

Speaking on Tuesday night at an event hosted by the Equal Voice Foundation — an organization dedicated to improving gender representation in Canadian politics — Trudeau said there are regressive forces fighting against women’s progress.
