Canada’s PM Wants ’Peoplekind’ Instead of ’Mankind’
Local Editor
Last week, during an event in Edmonton, Alberta, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau interrupted a young woman and said: "We like to say peoplekind, not necessarily mankind. It's more inclusive."
The woman didn't seem offended and even agreed with the Prime Minister's remarks, but critics have lashed out at Trudeau, accusing him of making up words and even "mansplaining."
Trudeau's remark has come under fire for being too politically correct.
The news didn't go unnoticed on social media, where most users saw the funny side of it.
A female Canadian MP took to twitter to apologies on Trudeau's behalf.
His remarks also travelled around the world, even the North Korean official news agency slammed him for "mansplaining" on Twitter.
The Prime Minister has yet to comment on why he chose to use the word "peoplekind" that doesn't exist in the English language instead of suggesting something else.
Trudeau is in fact a self-proclaimed feminist, but maybe this time he's taken it a bit too far.
