Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is in a verbal duel with a Quebec-based far-right group.

Trudeau today doubled down on comments he made yesterday in Quebec City as he honoured the six men who were shot dead while praying at a mosque last year.

He called the members of the nationalist group ``dum-dums.''

He did not name the group, but it is assumed to be the organization that calls itself La Meute, or The Pack in English.

The secretive group is harshly critical towards Islam and denounces multiculturalism.

Trudeau told reporters today in Ottawa he will always denounce those who aren't building a better society.
