Canada PM Trudeau faces PC backlash over 'peoplekind' comment
6 February 2018
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing a backlash for correcting a woman who used the term "mankind".
During a town hall event last week, Mr Trudeau interrupted the young woman and urged her to say "peoplekind" instead.
The clip of the interaction has been making the rounds online with critics accusing Mr Trudeau of "mansplaining" and making up words.
Conservative commentators overseas have also picked up on the interaction.
The prime minister made the comment while taking questions at a public town hall in Edmonton, Alberta, last Thursday.
