Trudeau wins power play in Montreal parade row
Prime Minister Trudeau declares foreign diplomats should not attend St. Jean Baptiste Day ceremonies after organizers including Mayor Jean Drapeau withdraw invitations. About 70 countries had planned representation, including seven ambassadors and seven Commonwealth high commissioners. Trudeau said diplomats acted in good faith but could not attend given the federal government’s exclusion. He refused to designate a replacement and criticized the city’s role in sending invitations.
