Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has rebuked a call from the Muslim Association of Canada to apologize for his social media post condemning “hate and its manifestations” on the day that thousands of parents and other citizens marched in cities across Canada for more parental rights in schools.

“I am going to continue to work to bring people together, and to make sure our kids are protected while standing up for everyone’s rights,” Mr. Trudeau said during a press conference on Oct. 5.
