Justin Trudeau Cries Over Death Of Tragically Hip Frontman | NBC News

Such a touching speech from someone who has now made the rest of the country cry in 2021.

[MrPartegas]

Gord loved Canada. I love Canada. Trudeau loves himself.

[MrPartegas]

As a Canadian expat I find this very disingenuous. This clown manipulated voters with his grief. Seriously question Canadian cognitive ability if this is not recognised. It is like North Korea from an outsider. Good luck.

As an American I'm truly THANKFUL for having discovered the Hip on FM 96 London, On!
Canada, sorry for the loss of one of your National Treasures!!!

[Zeke]

Takes strength to cry and show emotion. It's a human thing. Trying to hide it because you're worried what others will think is weak.

Drama school drop out. I'm pretty sure he was busy groping and missed the class on Fake Crying.

Hoping more Americans will get to know the Tragically Hip's music. Amazing band!!!

[victorsalgado]

WOW what a difference the prime minister of Canada compared with the president of the USA two similar country"s with two completely different leaders with all my respects to Gord Downie may his soul rest in peace

[roadmonkey]

How about for just a moment let’s respect what the topic is and stay there as Canadians, instead of using death to make harsh comments, only maggots and vultures see opportunities on death’

[TCFan]

Cry, hug, apologize-repeat-
Justin's daily agenda.

[Tridon]

In contrast, Trump would have said that Gord knew what he was getting into when he signed up for brain cancer.

[blackdogleg]

one thing I agree with this guy about. We are less without Gord.

[veryhightoday]

sad day Gord Downie and the Tragically hip will be mist Gord this one is for

[pennysmom]

Watching this again in 2024 and I cry every time. Gord died 1 year and 364 days after my sweet Penny who was my everything. I find some peace if I imagine her and Gord together across that rainbow bridge. I like to think that he's met all my pups now ❤ And if anyone is wondering Penny (is) was a Gordon Setter 😔♥️ Coincidence 🤷‍♀️

[raynus]

Leaders of nations don't cry like babies when someone dies.

[seinsmeld]

I'm very happy our prime minister has feelings. It brought tears to my eyes when I watched this.

[SassyBratt]

Do you think Prozac might help that silly baby?

[Officialhockeynight]

Explains why every nation on earth treats him like a little girl. This is the reason you don't nagotiate with Canada, you don't have to.

[newchan]

How pathetic ... we all know what he's doing ... except for a few idiots ... he fools very few with his crocodile tears! Was he once a drama teacher? Shoulda been a full time actor!
