You have to be joking, right? You seriously think that the 21 seconds of silence was US censorship? If the US had that kind of power then perhaps that same PM would not have casually praised a Central American dictator upon their death.
maybe he just wants to choose his words carefully because the words will have an effect? unlike some other leader who says whatever thoughts pop in to his head
I watched it earlier. I think it was 1/3 self-censorship, 1/3 a display of self-censorship, and 1/3 of carefully choosing the words before speaking. Overall, brilliant.
Or maybe he was just done watching footage of the riot in Montreal?
