  1. Maybe take a look at all levels of politics not being accountable enough to answer a simple question and crack down on that behavior since targeting members of our population with half-baked policy is now acceptable.

  2. Dance the line and never answer the question, you know what we want. Stop the mandates and stop the fearmongering, both of which are creating polarization. Pretty hard to blame Trudeau when O’Toole is perpetuating the same ideas.

    1. Government is run so that you think you have choices. The same person pulling the strings runs both sides. Don’t be fooled.

    1. They are cut from the same cloth. He sounds like JT clone. Not a single answer. Time to clean house and get rid of them all. Clean slate.

  3. Very interested to see how this goes.. as a unvaccinated Farmer I may throw support behind them by not growing any food.. we all have to stand together

    1. or sell direct, which is likely something that will need to happen anyway. They are absolutely fabricating all of this. All of the supply shortages, division, inflation .. all of it has been planned and orchestrated.

    2. @husher5142 I was talking to a person who is unvaccinated and is willing to take my grain crops.. I will go to the next no more lockdowns in my area and sell all my hay to the unvaccinated that are raising animals.

  4. I am a conservative. I have been since before Harper became Prime Minister. This interview was pathetic. He was asked for simple answers to simple questions and gave none. I have not ever supported Trudeau but this pathetic display by O’Toole has me leaning away from him. This was Trudeau 101 on how to not answers a question. This was disgusting and beneath the party I have supported for 20 years.

    1. @Deanne Turdeau, O’Tool, Singh or as I call him Zing! They are all the same. Its time to throw away the vote or not vote which ever you choose.

    1. @Jonathan Gould irregardless this is going no where,, btw even if by some bloody miracle they do succeed , do u realize the Americans allready have the EXACT SAME restrictions at the border,? so again your going no place fast

    1. @Guy Pierce You’re right; I stand corrected and would like to take this opportunity to apologize to any circus performers I may have insulted by comparing them to these clowns!

  5. Canadians should be able to see clearly now. The Libs, Cons, NDP and Greens are all on the same team. The whole system is broken. Go Canadian Truckers!

    1. You are right…it’s either Coke or Pepsi at the polls – it’s a sick, sick country. Probably terminally ill at this point.

  6. “Canadians deserve to be heard from their government.” As he continues to not listen or answer the simplest of questions in anyway.

  7. Our politicians are an embarrassment. Thankfully real Canadians are on all roads leading to Ottawa.

  8. “WE need solutions to get products on shelves”…..What are the solutions than Otoole?…..He literally stands for nothing and is almost identical to Trudeau in his way for thinking.

    1. Yes the pandemic would end instantly.Remember Roman Baber who wanted CERB wages for politicians while the pandemic was happening and instead they voted to give just Roman Baber the CERB pay after Doug Ford kicked him out of the conservative party. Only guy that responded properly to the ridiculous mandates

    2. @Mitch Zurbrigg the gas stickers that he mndtd on the stations too.
      Guy gets paid two salaries because he has two offices, the incompetent ltc minister at the time was given three offices in charge of more Very sensitive marginalized Ppl and look what she did in the LTCs.

    1. Government doesn’t have rights. The primary function of government is to recognize and protect fundamental inalienable rights of citizens.

  9. “Leadership” is answering a question and not being afraid to take a stand. We need new leadership everywhere

  10. I commend the interviewer for trying to get a straight answer out of him

    Unfortunately he doesn’t have one
