EDMONTON — Sara Wheale is one of those people Justin Trudeau spoke about in Argentina. One of the people who have “social impacts” when they arrive in rural areas to work on construction sites.
“There are gender impacts when you bring construction workers into a rural area,” Trudeau told a panel at the G20. “There are social impacts because they’re mostly male construction workers. How are you adjusting and adapting to those? That’s what the gender lens in GBA-plus budgeting is all about.”
The prime minister’s comments kicked off a controversy among workers in Alberta’s oil industry and, on Tuesday, Wheale announced on Facebook that she had decided to resign from his youth council.
