TORONTO (AP) -- Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canadians would appreciate it if Americans paid more attention to what's going on around the globe. Trudeau said in a "60 Minutes" interview to be aired Sunday that "it might be nice if they paid a little more attention to the world." Trudeau, elected in October, made the remarks after being asked what Canadians don't like about the U.S. "Having a little more of an awareness of what's going on in the rest of the world, I think is, is what many Canadians would hope for Americans," he said in a transcript released to The Associated Press on Thursday. The "60 Minutes" profile of Trudeau will air just days before he travels to the White House for a state visit. Trudeau said Canadians must be aware of at least one other country, the United States, because of its importance. "I think we sometimes like to think that, you know, Americans will pay attention to us from time to time, too," he said. He also seemed to take a jab at an unnamed U.S. presidential candidate whose rise he attributed to Americans' lack of knowledge of foreign affairs. A spokeswoman for Trudeau said she didn't immediately know what candidate Trudeau was referring to. Poster Comment:

Why? Somebody correct me if I'm wrong,but hasn't it always been America that was bailing out the rest of the world for the last 300 years or so?
Remember this from about 40 years ago? I think his old man was PM of Canada at the time.
Well that was long ago and today Boeing is loosing to airbus, America has reneged on its commitment to Haiti, beggered their neighbours with QE belligerently postures in Asia, so play another chorus of rally round the flag and hail to the chief
LOL! I still remember when you folks had your panties in a twist over these. You guys were screaming like James Brown on a cold toilet seat.
