“We’ve lost a little ground on the housing getting built.” what an understatement dude 😂

[figeon]

Two elite multimillionaires calling us plebs “extremist” for wanting to afford a house and food.

[Drewisonfire]

As a Canadian, I just want to be able to afford rent and groceries but nothing gets done about it…

[taunyaclark]

The problem as I see it. He is quite obviously more concerned about how HE looks on a global stage rather than how WE ARE FALLING APART UNDER HIS REGIME.

"I'm gonna move right past that one." <-- This one sentence hit like a ton of bricks. Could you imagine if American politicians treated nonsense the same way?

[JacWarner]

The Canadian situation seems very similar to the Australian scene at the moment. Both commonwealth countries. Both navigating a housing crisis and increased costs of living.
The truth, as I see it, is that profiteering from big supermarket chains, social media companies, real estate, big pharma and more has run unchecked for decades. That’s where regulation can play a strong part.
Lots to solve and massive cultural shifts in terms of multinationals and TAX AVOIDANCE by those entities to be addressed.

If this helps, I am rewatching Canada’s drag race. Moose knuckle.

As a 19 year old Canadian. I strongly dislike this guy

[ilanshenfield]

Colbert did not ask Trudeau any real questions about his approach in Canada. This is simple grand standing to gain some sort of recognition as a world leader.

What's funny about Trudeau's situation is that it was entirely avoidable had he kept his 2015 campaign promise to enact electoral reform. It will be very interesting to watch their election next year to see if he'll even be opposition leader, or if the NDP will retake it's place as the left's party in Canadian politics.

two ..millionaire liberals discussing issues around poverty. love to see it

[relwod]

Justin Trudeau froze my bank account for disliking this video.

[dubdoodle]

Bring poverty up to a livable standard starting with the disabled !

[withershin]

Chrétien was a super cool dude in real life. He had dinner with us servers in the kitchen at our staff table.

[jonathannst-pierre]

Calling the leader of the conservatives "Trump" or "far-right xenophobic" is appalling! You should be ashamed.

we are dying in Canada because of this man

[vincevaleriote]

Most hated person in Canada right there

[johns.]

This guy can't be gone quick enough.

[albertanasoul]

He can’t just talk freely about a topic. All he does is squirt around questions and peddle his memorized bullshit agenda.

[georgiannacook]

Went to a Canadian college. Have great memories of my time there. Great people.

[christinacoffey]

When he is asked a question, he beats around the bush and never gives answers
