As a Canadian I demand an election as soon as possible!

Doesn't matter what you are . doing a crappie job and being corrupt. He should resign .

[JohnDeere-wk]

It doesn't matter what is your color as long as you are not partisan to your party while doing your job. I feel it is a waste of time and an insult to Canadian taxpayers when the liberals do not answer straightforward questions. We should change it to a "Dodging Period" instead of a "Question Period"

Haha just imagine if you have a ton of different qualifications and the most important one they think is just your skin color. No merit just skin color😊

[BlueTeamRedTeam]

It’s great! But just too bad he’s a lousy partisan and is terrible in the role.

[vinasel]

Another person who is supposed to be impartial, but isn't. No wonder trust in institution is at an all time low.

[typoprone]

He's awful. They should have forced him to resign.

[Just]

When you work hard, and have proven yourself, great things happen!!👏👏👏👏

[Room]

Kinda disorienting but refreshing to hear someone in politics speak so earnestly and optimistically. Great role model for kids 👏🏼

[Joseph-T]

Terrible speaker. Partisan all the time. He should resign.

We would be so better off if we were all colored blind.
