  1. LOL he said that a PM should never prorogued parliment! Don’t give me the Harper proroguing crap, he didn’t have to do it because of a SCANDAL! Courrupt liberals. Simply depressing.

    1. @Devil City harper never had one investigation against him.
      Trudeau has been fiund guilty twice of ethics violations and because he prorugued parliment he has shut down three investigations into himself. You are blind to what he is doing.

    2. Well read Justin it’s like this was a drama teacher preforming for his students. Except of course for the teleprompter

  2. Face it you’re the worst prime minister of Canada has ever had you’ll go down in history as the worst prime minister ever

    1. @CommunistPartyOfChinaRepresentative he also decreased the GDP and screwed our healthcare system over essentially

  3. First words out of Trudeau’s mouth here, “Stephen Harper and the Conservatives…” Sweet baby Jesus, stop blaming all of your shortcomings on the previous government!

    1. @Jaskaran Singh it’s China and the W.H.O. fault…both failed to inform the world until it was too late…COVID had already spread all over the world, catching all the countries with their pants down…so to speak.

      If it wasn’t for a brave chinese Dr. and a Reporter leaking out info about the Wuhan crisis..the rest of the world would not have even known about COVID 19 and it would have been a lot worse.

    2. @David Oh I was born here, of course, I’m legal, my ancestors date back here from like a bit over 100 years

    3. I think the funniest part is that the reporter didn’t use the full quote in the 2015 document. It goes as follows, “We will not resort to legislative tricks to avoid scrutiny. Stephen Harper has used prorogation to avoid difficult political circumstances. We will not. Stephen Harper has also used omnibus bills to prevent Parliament from properly reviewing and debating his proposals. We will change the House of Commons Standing Orders to bring an end to this undemocratic practice.”

      And of course Trudeau falls straight into the trap of using Harper’s name, even though they said they wouldn’t do what Harper did. Sweet Lord he’s so blind.

  4. You are out no matter what you try to pull off with this. I cant believe how many scandals hes been caught in. Imagine what the real number is.

  5. Not bad for a drama teacher. A little too rehearsed for me but from his smug grin to the camera at the end, I guess he thinks he nailed it!

    1. I truly wish that was the case, but the polls only show a small change in Liberal support. Canada is f*cked.

    1. He doesn’t do that anymore; I would be willing to bet that he’s had hundreds of thousands of tax dollars worth of speech therapy and training…..

    2. @Chris Erickson I disagree. Very likely his handlers got this question beforehand and already prepared something for him to say.

    1. Did you even listen to him?
      He wasnt blaming harper dor anything.
      He was comparing.. the f’s wrong with you?

    2. @seannootherway he was blaming him for prorouging it, and he is doing the same…… Taxes increases coming

  6. Trudeau has to go! He’s a liar and has broken laws, and many of his promises, no one believes in you Justin ! Do the right thing and step down as Prime Minister.

    1. It’s his job to lie, I don’t mind.. but not only stealing tax payer money, but also enriching close relatives with that money is a crime severe enough to land up in prison for a long time.
