Why doesnt the prime minister understand there was an economic crisis in 2008 world wide? He is gonna drive this country to the ground and notice when he was asked about the energy sector he started then to talk about franco phones.

Carbon economy? Carbon tax is the new buzz phrase that gets the domestic auto industry out of Canada? No one has truly explained what is carbon that we should be taxed on it. I believe it is a money grab and it is another way to overthrow Canada.

I literally feel scared every time I hear Trudeau and the Liberals say “we continue to invest...”

With this kind of government, the word “investment” now has a negative connotation and is synonymous to spending, spending, spending.

Industry and Auto sectors are going to have problems moving into a new world. Climate Change has been proven to be real. We need to start moving away from the causes and re-educating workers. Why is it so hard to change the way we do things? I want to protect my kids and leave a world they can live in. "Carbon Tax"? Maybe not, it might not work. But it's probably something "any" government show be thinking of to figure out "what will work"

Hello! I'm not a Canadian.

It's interesting to watch Canadian parliament at work! May I know the reason why there's a shift from English language to French language at times during this Q&A session? Thanks in advance!

I am okay with carbon tax. Make a 200% increase in all carbon tax.

[paullie]

The Liberals allow the conservatives to speak without interruption, I would think the respect should go both ways?

I wish that I had searched for this sooner. I never get to watch live and had no clue that it was so easy to find online.

Canada 's GDP ( $1.6 Trillion)is fourth in the G7 behind: Germany($3.4Trillion) France ( $ 2.6 Trillion) and Italy ($2.01 Trillion)- not as J Trudeau stated .

Trafficking of human organs should never be forced. That is the choice of the human who owns those organs. That shouldn't even be part of question period

The GM closure had ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with the Prime Minister. Why is the opposition focused on that. GM closure was a decision made by GM Only. If you want to use the argument that he paid GM a bunch of money and GM closed shop after that, do some homework on the Harper history. Many companies will take money, and pull out without any LEGAL percussions and Trudeau is not only exclusive to this.

[paullie]

This is political, you want this gvnt to protect lands, water and wildlife, but at the same time, protect the auto industry, and factories. Instead of trashing Trudeau, what is Shear going to do differently?

When will the budget balance its self never with any government

Mr Speaker, Bla bla ah bla ur ah bla bla bla, ah ah ur bla bla bla, bla bla ur ah bla. Bla, bla ur bla ah bla, bla bla. Ur ah, ah ah ur bla.
It takes a lot of money to trust the media.

The monarchy has no right to dicker with true citizens of Canada.

Why aren't you talking about bill morneaus wife and the McCain family benefitting from his tax policies and millions in subsidies?

May, Trudeau, Trump - who is worst? lol

[valdanowill]

POLITICS IS SO VERY FASCINATING, YOU ARGUE BASED ON WHICH PARTY YOU ARE ON, YOUR PARTY CAN DO NO WRONG AND THE OTHER PARTIES ARE ALWAYS DOING WRONG. CANT PEOPLE SEE THAT THIS IS PURE PERFORMANCE AND ACTING? YOU WOULD BE KICKED OUT OF THE PARLIAMENT IF YOU EVER APPLAUD THE OPPOSITION PARTY. JUST CHEER YOUR PARTY ON FOR THATS WHAT YOU ARE GETTING PAID FOR. LOL

Raj Grewal is still working, "However, he remains the MP for Brampton East because he has not yet followed the rules for how to officially resign". They will let him resign eventually so he can still collect his pension and all the government perks that go along with it. He was removed as finance commissioner months ago and Trudeau knew all about it.

[paullie]

Piss off Shear, it was also his decision to buy a pipeline to "protect" a pipeline that they were going to cancel. How come you never mention that?
