    1. @initiall <- all angry behind a keyboard trash talking truckers. I think you're the coward, just simply go out from behind your keyboard and head down to the protest and speak your mind. I know you're 3x vaxed and still scared to death but just this one time - take the risk of some human interaction.

  1. for his speech every time he says blockades, just substitute government covid restrictions and everything he says is true

    1. @Kcuhc He won’t get the pity votes ( over poor bro Rob”s death) he got last time

  2. Okay somebody explain this..countrywide lockdowns dont hurt the economy but blocking a few pockets in a city does?

  3. If all the truckers went home, as Trudeau suggests, and then stayed there, the problems he mentioned would not go away. He doesn’t think very deeply.

    1. If the truckers go home and stay home, Trudeau will be even more sorry. He may have to go out to do all their deliveries himself.

    2. @emile mcintosh The truckers who are blockading are the very small % of truckers, also all the major trucking companies are not in support of the protests either

  4. everything he listed as wrong he was guilty of himself, closed borders, supply chain issues, hurting businesses etc etc etc

    1. One cowardly Cons-ervative voter loser in this CONvoy, asking his fellow Cowardly Cons-ervative loser: Does this stroller of my two-year-old make me look like that much of a loser?
      Answer: A bit. Here, take my ten-year-old’s bike. Now, you look brave.

    1. @Josh Armstrong give me a break. They have already taken freedoms they never had the right to take – to make Big Pharma richer than ever. Grow up! Take the blinders off

    2. @Josh Armstrong 10% are Canadians not cows that we can just slaughter. Drop the mandates and they will leave. That’s the solution.

  5. “Unlawfull activity has to end and will end”, “unfortunatley I don’t know when or how it will end” makes me wonder if this might end in his disgraceful downfall…

  6. When clown enters a palace he doesn’t becomes a king, but palace becomes a circus, that’s how Canadian Parliament looks like today…

  7. Mr Prime minister, Just lift all mandates, open economy and increase medical staff and beds if needed. And truckers will go home. Keep it peaceful and respectful to Human rights of Canadians. Stay united Canada 🇨🇦

    1. @Jean-Sébastien Roy Yes we have, for the most part, but no country is perfect. The 2 times that Canada has been the most divided has been when we’ve been under the rule of a Trudeau.

    2. @Driggy balkanization maybe the best option for canada, especially for more right leaning, or down leaning (libertarian) provinces.

    3. @Vae Victis he put mandates on truckers and wants to put provincial mandates now too, it was confirmed by Minister of transportation. All these protest are because of Trudeau.

  8. Quick summary of what he is saying “I’ve decided YOUR protest is ILLEGAL and now I’m threatening you.”

  9. What’s the difference lockdowns or protests against mandates. Those who have lost their businesses and jobs are permanently affected by Trudeau’s actions.

  10. How are they illegal ? He didn’t worry about the small business / small guys with his covid restrictions which scientifically were not necessary. This is NOT illegal blockades . YOU have been hurting canada since you are in power.

    1. If you don’t know why they are illegal it’s not his problem. Ignorance of the law is not an excuse. The provincial government will be enforcing the laws on the books currently. They will find out how much support from regular Canadians there is not. You are directly affecting people’s lives in a very negative way. I do not support the border closures and the occupation of Ottawa or any other city. When the PM says the borders will be open, he isn’t kidding around. Take your children home. They need to be in school. There is no excuse for keeping kids out of school. Schools are open for in person learning.

  11. Thanks everyone for commenting, you’ve given me some hope for this country. Past year I’ve felt like there was something wrong with me for thinking this way. Glad to see others share my views. Stay safe all.

  12. What law has been enforced when environmentalists blocked off all the bridges leading to/from downtown vancouver? When they blocked off highways and roads over and over again? So some protests are legal while others are not? Who decided that?
