Would have helped if he didnt insult protesters and listen to them instead of just constantly insulting.
Um… do u not realize he takes orders? Why would he listen to peasants?
Quite the intelligence team he has. Who knew that a huge convoy who drove across the country, who made it very clear what there intentions were, would just leave after 2 days. Didn’t help that justin fanned the flames even more when he went on live TV and called them horrible names and insults.
@Bow Bender not at all, love the sarcasm
@PAD Financial You’re, Your. Two different words, two different meanings. You were so close to getting it.
@Marcel Charette
If the shoe fits?
I would hope that a professional political politician could see past slinging insults and be… well… professional.
Wouldn’t you?
@Marcel Charette oohhh burn because I didn’t notice the auto correct. Better to point that out than defend the point tho right . . . Sorry “though” wouldn’t want to offend the Grammer police again lol
@PAD Financial You have no point. All you and your con brethren have are thoughtless cheap shots. Like soup sandwiches, nothing of any substance or value.
Now, don’t you have a hospital emergency to block access to?
The protests caught NO ONE by surprise since it had been talked of for weeks prior. Trudeau has to go
Government was busy padding themselves on the back to notice a convoy heading from across the country for 1 week 5000 km away.
Believe it or not, there is a world outside of Ottawa!
Omg really???? I thought that Quebec was just a country 😂😂😂😂😂
Ottawa was upset over “Two full weekends”.
Canada was upset over Two full YEARS!
Amen 🙏
Had Trudeau sat down and had a conversation with the truckers ALL OF THIS could have potentially been avoided and we wouldn’t have to spend millions of taxpayers dollars on a public Inquiry.
Who the hell do you think truckers represent, not exactly a think tank!
If trudeau would just resign all of our problems would end
@Russell Leo
Well, he will sit down with other organizations that disrupt things.
Why would he not do that with the truckers?
I suspect it was ideologically driven.
He wants to ensure his public portrayal is “correct”.
the government isnt obliged to sit down with a bunch of ranting and raving spoilt brats that didnt get their own way and throw tantums because their spoilt children
@Russell Leo you were the one that was always picked last in p.e. class i take it
It was a surprise? They literally where covered on their approach for days on end
Couldn’t agree more. How out of touch are you that you didn’t know they were coming.
Can we get a competent leader please
We already have one. It could be worse though but luckily we have nothing to worry about with Bitcoin boy who’s never had a real job.
Trudeau’s government investigating Trudeau’s government that’s a joke
And the wheel on the bus goes round and round
Speaking of hope. There is a hope that you resign or get removed from office.
His cowardly actions and authoritarian behaviour has lead himself and the rest of Canada to where we are.
Dictator for life tends to get surprised a LOT
Caught everyone by surprise? This government is beyond stupid! In 2022 road cameras would have shown just how many trucks with flags were on the road to Ottawa!
Complaining about 2 weeks of disruption after putting all Canadians under a more disruptive 2 years prior… 🤔 the nerve of this drama teacher
Truer words have been spoken 😂
How would he know he was in hiding
How dare Canadians protest? How dare they??? Do they think it’s a democracy?
Democracy has nothing to do with you blocking an international bridge or holding a city hostage and terrifying its residents!
The big convey of trucks that started on the west of canada and was being talked about on world news networks and even this news network before it got to ottawa and was always being told was going to ottawa, was a surprise?
you did nothing trudeau, you lied, and literally insulted everyone that supported this movement on national tv.
It caught everyone by surprise ??? Yeah, it’s amazing how they camouflaged a convoy of trucks for days as they drove across the country ….. whoa, we never saw THAT coming !
“to de-escalate and put an end to this…” – sure, by NOT engaging the protestors and by insulting them. Trudeau the Diplomatic! 🤣
