A Reddit thread "Any evidence that Trudeau said 'if you kill your enemies, they win'?" https://www.reddit.com/r/canada/comments/68iwe3/any_evidence_that_trudeau_said_if_you_kill_your/ questioning the veracity of the attribution was created in April 2017. No corroborating evidence was found to support the "McCinnes brothers" claims that Trudeau said this, yet many others have repeated it as fact. It is possibly a paraphrasing of Trudeau's February 2016 quote about elevating enemies.
