Sophie Grégoire Trudeau says family life with PM post-separation 'gets messy,' but they have each other's back

9 months agoGlobe and Mail reporter Laura Stone, who profiled Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, talks about the 'huge' and very public role she played in the prime minister's political career.

Grégoire Trudeau started her career as a reporter and TV host in Quebec, and in recent years has worked as a public speaker and mental health advocate.

She acknowledged that finding that emotional equilibrium can be difficult when people are facing major crises, from climate change to political polarization to economic inequity.

The prime minister spoke with The Current earlier this month, and was asked about the polarization that has become apparent in Canadian politics — particularly in flags and stickers bearing the words "F--k Trudeau."

The Liberal leader said there's "a level of polarization and toxicity" that is visible in both social media and real life these days, but it doesn't represent all Canadians.

In response to waning polls and anti-Trudeau flags, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says 'polarization and toxicity' is very visible online and in real life, but doesn't represent all Canadians.
