The most basic role of the state in a liberal democracy is to protect and guarantee the rights of citizens. At this task, Trudeau has failed miserably.

[dantheman]

"They're trying to blockade our economy, our democracy, and our fellow citizens' daily lives."
That was you, pal. All you.

[carlosvaz]

He talks of Canadians as if the truckers and other demonstrators were not Canadians...very sad...

[clifftomkulak]

he does not even realize that the biggest part of the protest is about him

[c.v]

Trudeau just said that our democratic right to protest has to stop. Trudeau is the one with unacceptable views and it's about time for him to acknowledge that his views do not represent or reflect the opinions of Canadians.

If mandates are so imperative, why with thousands of truckers gathered in Ottowa for 12 days, are hospitals not overwhelmed with sick truckers, many of whom are unvaxxed and high risk?

"more than ever, Canadians need to continue to be there for each other. To be united." - Justin Trudeau
Thank you Mr. Trudeau, we will take your advise, we will be there for each other, and stay united. United as a nation, Against you!

[mitchkampen]

you look scared Justin. I also don't like it when you say that Canadians are united under vaccines... they were forced to be united under vaccines so they wouldn't loose their jobs.

[romanlevit]

The truckers brought back the Canadian pride in me. Trudeau is shooting himself in the foot over and over.

[anitaroeke]

There are sooo many more Canadian flags then the ones he has mentioned - he didn’t apologize or answer the questions.
Strength and love to all.

[halcyonpanzer]

Can't wait to see this guy gone. What a disconnected and egotistical leader if you can even call him that.

[ericbaumgartner]

Have a nation wide vote on whether or not to keep the mandates or not and whether or not to remove our pm. Count all votes equally and have a real democracy.

The convoys of Love, in peaceful protest is truly Canadian 🇨🇦 🍁 its beautiful

[sarthakvashistha]

Why did trudeau support Indian farmers protests when they were also paralysing economy with blockades? It's the time trudeau is getting the taste of his own medicine.

[hi-ovxr]

By Trudeau making more restriction's, he is keeping this pandemic going. what do you all think?

[CalLewisLundgren]

“ Unjust untrue Dough” with his slanderous
insults to Peaceful and loving Canadians.
Shame on him… History will remember

[perry]

show him walking out today, what a leader.

[Paul-lsob]

Truckers have been going flat out for 2 years too.

[jamieengland]

Bruh it's done. No more talking. Stop the verbal diarrhea. End mandates.

[mariaowen]

haven't heard any scientists, epidemiologists, virologists, pathologists on any opened public broadcasting. Can't wait to see balanced conversations on easily accessible television.
