JT is so frustrating to listen to. YouTube needs a face palm button!!

[shawnfella]

They should get him to do the eyebrow thing. It always perks things up. Just be happy they didn't get him crying. There's always that danger when he is pressed. Then, the whole country stops and we all start feeling blue. It's his secret weapon. He's very moral you know. And likable.

[tanamurphy]

Back and forth again and again. Nothing changes. No straight answers.

When does zoolander go back to substitute teaching?
See what happens when women vote based on how "cute" a politician is?

The minister of foreign affairs has lost her common sense, how is paying more for medicine is a good deal?

[longranger]

Steven Harper has a degree in economics, Trudeau is a drama teacher enough said

[benhansen]

How does he even know whats good for Canada?

We pay extra for milk because of the milk marketing board and now I hear rich diary farmers will be compensated by our government. The dairy cartel must end.

[jonsmith]

Trudy couldnt fight his way out of a wet paper bag with a chainsaw!

He should be impeached and jailed!

[never--late]

This PM was schooled in not answering questions

Food safety concern. Keep US out of our food, please

[gregruddell]

So now that the dairy farmers are going to lose market share we will be "compensating them"? So us other workers and taxpayers will be kicking in cash for a sector that we don't operate in? Nobody kicks in cash to my business when times are tough or competition beats me to the punch. We will be subsidizing dairy products that we already pay far too much for. If the dairy sector can't stand on it's own two feet without taxpayers contributing revenue directly to it to prop it up, the model is obviously flawed and needs to be revamped so that it can function like any other business venture.

What Sheer seems to forget is Canada never wanted to renegotiate NAFTA. Trump told everyone he hated NAFTA and was going to get rid of it. So getting almost the same deal with a few concessions is a pretty big victory for Canadians.

[PadraigOConaire]

As “a Canadian from across the country” I would like a straight answer to a straight question:

What do we gain from this agreement?

[ranka]

What a politician! Doesn't answer the question directly. What vague answers he is giving.

[mr_weird]

How do we even know if it was a good deal or not if he is not giving us what the deal was in full

[kerrilynn]

Trump answered a question I didn't even ask. He stated Prime Minister Justin Trudeau really cares about Canadians

[jacquesplante]

Does our prime minister have earing issue?

[UsserError]

Unemployed Canadian dairy cows means lots of cheap hamburger and pet food. Look at the bright side.

I'm not consuming American dairy or poultry products.
