‘The world eagerly awaits’: Canadian PM Justin Trudeau addresses NYU grads
18 May 2018
The liberal Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau has urged graduates of New York University (NYU) to “change the world” during a commencement speech given at Yankee Stadium in New York this week.
A strident advocate of multiculturalism, the PM’s speech emphasised the value of diversity and in engaging with people from different backgrounds with vastly different experiences.
Trudeau applauded that NYU was “truly diverse” with around one fifth of its students being international, including 180 Canadians among the graduating class.

“Whether it’s race, gender, language, sexual orientation, religious or ethnic origin, or our beliefs and values themselves – diversity doesn’t have to be a weakness,” he said.
Himself an alumnus of the McGill University and the University of British Columbia (UBC), Trudeau said that “for us to keep moving forward, we have to do it together. All together.”
“The world eagerly awaits, indeed requires, your ideas. Your initiative. Your enterprise. Your energy. Your passion and compassion. Your idealism. Your ambition.”
“Congratulations Class of 2018,” concluded Trudeau. “Go change the world.”
