Trudeau tells class of 2020: Your job is not only to challenge people like me, but to bring us along

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau delivered on Wednesday a commencement speech to the graduating class of 2020 from Carleton University in Ottawa, alongside with Carleton University student Jordan Gray and University of Toronto John H. Moss scholar Lana El Sanyoura.

Trudeau told graduates that their generation, who came of age during events like Occupy Wall Street, the Arab Spring, the Quebec Student Protests, Idle No More and other events, knows what’s wrong with this world and knows how to fix it.

Trudeau added “your job is not only to challenge people like me, but to bring us along.”

The Prime Minister recalled the Australian bushfires linked to climate change, the Iranian deadly flight crash, the Nova Scotia shooting, and other tragic or serious events, and said students wouldn't have chosen to graduate in the world of 2020 however, "your generation has always acutely sensed what was wrong with the world, and what needed to be fixed."

Trudeau told graduates that their generation reminds him of the Class of 1939, who came out of the Great Depression to fight a world war they didn’t start.

Adding that challenges faced by Class of 2020 are not dissimilar but he “cannot think of a generation better prepared to put us on the right path forward.

Uncertainty over the COVID-19 pandemic has prompted some universities and colleges to reconsider their plans for the fall, with some institutions planning to offer online learning as they attempt to navigate evolving health and safety measures.
