    1. I respect trudeau’s dedication to making sure this gets solved. Can’t say i appreciate the conservative party leader scheer, when he seems to downplay the violence that has been an observable component to more than a few of his voters. You seen the miles of angst filled racism at the toronto $un comments sections? Its entirely a lesson in sociology..we dont see eye to eye.

    2. Trump, on the other hand, is taken seriously by all, due to his absolute genius and unmatched foresight.

    1. d bc I think he’s saying that Trudeau is trying to defend China. It’s impressive how much blame China has deflected away from themselves. It even seems that somehow they basically control WHO even though the only fund 2%. China needs to be held responsible.

    2. @d bc Well I hate to tell you this, but Trudeau admires the Basic Dictatorship of China! and he likes to act like a dictator! He said so after he became Prime Minister! .

  1. How is Trudeau’s epic failure to protect Canadians in anyway the fault of President Trump ? You really should abandon the notion and try to maintain your dignity

  2. Trudeau did nothing until Sophie got sick, HR reluctantly closed the border despite dozens and dozens of imported cases. Now instead of only having to close the borders, we’re having to close Canada.

  3. Justin at the poker table…..has a royal flush…..and then gets bluffed out of it and folds…..hmmm….

    1. That’s why I voted for him. He has just created many jobs during this crisis and the guy deserves a medal. You go Mr Ford !

  4. She loves wine…. ?? Is that what the Sign behind her reads ??..
    (her= Linda Silas, Canadian Federation Of Nurses Union) 🤣🤣🤣😳😷😷🙄

  5. This government only knows how to virtue signal and be politically correct. The government should have closed the border in January to protect our citizens but they didn’t.

  6. Nurses must have the civil liberties to work in the States if they want to. Especially when nurses in Canada are shorted out of protective equipment because of Trudeau.

  7. There wasn’t enough masks for the hospitals while 3M had a stock of ~5 million and refused to sell any of it to the state of Florida (City of Miami in big trouble)

    Canada sends nurses to Detroit, and nurses expect to have masks to use at work.

    3M distributors were selling masks to cash buyers. You know that was dodgy business. Possibly price gauging resellers selling it for 10x the price to other countries (unlikely to be Canada).

    So this is not about Canada. It is about 3M putting profits over the safety of professional health care workers. The CEO of 3M should step down.

  8. nothing on Toronto’s pm leaving canadians high and dry, after he sent China 16 tons of our ppe…i can see how this is in fact trumps fault…

  9. USA 1st. Sorry. Thanks Trump! Only one who truly cares about our beloved states. Even California…

  10. Dear PM Trudeau:
    Those Canadian nurses work in a U.S. state that: 1) has a lady as it’s governor and the World knows that President Trump is terrified of powerful intelligent women. Then the other point is that this said powerful intelligent woman is a Democrat. Therefore, it follows that
    President Trump could care less if anyone was not able to receive healthcare from Canadian nurses. So, you do not have a bargaining advantage there.
    Maybe send in the Mounties to get our supplies? Deputy PM Freeland has referred to the situation as the Wild West and we see from the news that that’s an accurate description. So, Royal Canadian Mounted Police to rescue our medical supplies!

  11. Canada sent all their masks to CHina.. and now China is distributing those same masks to Italy, Spain and other countries. China number 1!!
