  1. Thank you Pierre for forcing this government to do the thing they should have done 2 years ago

    1. @Hans B. lol Justin only did it because he was pressured by Pierre to do it. Blackface ignored it for 2 years

    1. A threat that isn’t know to the threatened is impotent. This whole thing stinks of conservative contrivance.

    1. Look at the history highlites of Trudohs reign of terror. This one doesnt make the top 5.

  2. This was only done because Pierre and the Conservatives put pressure on True-Dough to do the right thing. I can imagine the PM is shaking with rage that someone from his favorite country in the world is being sent home.

  3. Please, you are all right he should be expelled but needed a thorough investigation. Consequences will follow and Canadians being held there are now toast. As much as i do not vote for Trudeau , we all forget that Pierre did nothing about this problem when they were in power and he was in charge of that position. 😢😢

    1. @BillArsenault-np2jk
      Source please, I would be very interested in finding out where this claim comes from. I searched and could not find anything

  4. Come on guy’s! The way you report on this, one would ALMOST believe the liberal government had suddenly decided to do the right thing, and wasn’t pressured and pushed and decided they finally HAD to give in to public pressure. A true leader does what they know is right, and doesn’t have to be shamed into action.

  5. Given 5 days to leave…. If he doesn’t, will he be put up in a hotel at taxpayers expense? Almost funny. As if Joly thinks she has any power.

    1. Diplomats can’t be arrested due to diplomatic immunity. If he doesn’t leave within 5 days, he would be able to be arrested (which he undoubtedly would), so yeah, he’ll leave.

    2. @Larry Borsa Well, I hear she is very, very, very close to the PM…so she may have more power than most believe…

    3. What world are you living in, jesus fairy land where nobody has power excpe he from upon on high? 😛

  6. Joly should be an usher at a theater. Diversity hire, not qualified for the job. Likely has a large group of workers to do her job for her. TURDO’s job creation program at work.

  7. It’s about time we toss out those who attempt to interfere with Canadian political processes!!

  8. Only took them two years and a ton of bad press until they finally acted. Smh, I hate this government.

  9. IMO the Liberal party let this ride until exposed. More proof that the Conservative party are the adults in the room and should be the ones governing.
