Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau began his press conference today by addressing the “assault on democracy by violent rioters” that he says was “incited by the current president and other politicians”.

He says that US democracy has shown itself to be “resilient” since Wednesday’s raid, adding that he has discussed the situation with the premiers of Canada’s provinces last night.

“Democracy is not automatic. It takes work every day,” says the liberal leader who has been forced to bite his tongue on more than a few occasion over the last four years.
