Wish Canada could separate from Trudeau

[inmybox]

I hope he finds out how bad the “family law act” is here in Canada and how the court system ruins men’s lives every day

[marinawilliams]

Next step for Justin Trudeau is to fully separate from Canada‼️

[brendaramsbottom]

The only other Prime Minister that was separated while he was still Prime Minister of Canada was Pierre Trudeau it’s just running in the family!

[TruthTeller]

He will get as much privacy as he gives Canadians 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

After 18 years with Justin Trudeau, Sophie has also become a Pierre Poilievre fan.

[SabotLoneWolf]

I truly feel sorry for his kids; a very difficult time. He should resign and focus on his family.

[morbottgaming]

Truth is, most Canadians want to separate from Justin.

It's well known in Canada that they've been living separate lives for the last 2-3 years. They had a business relationship to keep up the public appearances. Let's move on to more important matters.

If Trudeau spoke to his wife the way he speaks to Canadians in the House of Commons no wonder she’s leaving😂🤣

[FirstName-rtuf]

Did Justin freeze Sophie's bank account because she had an independent thought? Trudeau's policies have caused so much pain and suffering for average Canadians, conveniently none of that is ever discussed.

I once had a narcissistic friend like Trudeau. They don’t leap without having a place to land. Two months from now, he’ll trot out his current mistress as his new girlfriend. He wants to do it sooner but his advisers are saying two months minimum.

[sandrachisholm]

Give me a break. The other Prime Ministers managed to hold it together. Except his mother and father. Generational narcissists.

[sharonrigs]

Now Justin and Sophie are both free to see other men

[KellyBrownlee]

I wouldn't be surprised if JT milked his separation for attention and sympathy!

[Aaron-mngw]

Some say she's leaving because he never answers her questions.

[djcrownvic]

Could you imagine what it's like living with him? I'm pretty sure the marriage wouldn't have lasted as long if he had to live under regular circumstances and a regular salary.

[darrynmonti]

Must be serious.. they annonced it on instagram.Hope this means he's resigning

[arthurgay]

I would have to say that he is screwed. Now the whole world can see that even his wife wants to escape from his narcism. At least she can!

[joshbell]

The real question is how does Canada separate from him? i want to end our relationship too.
