Will he resign in white face or black face?

[cryptopunkz]

He just resigned a few minutes ago. They wouldn’t even let him finish Monday as PM let alone the whole week.

[maureencallahan]

They're going to let him resign? I think they should probably put him in prison.

[Aron]

It's about time, he's done so much damage.

[gbear]

Another trump victory.. giving canadians the spine to eject Castro Jr

[asaine]

It appears that in today's political landscape, a politician can do "whatever" (criminal activity?) they want as long as they are willing to "resign" at some point in the future... that is NOT justice for the people.

[SwampFox]

Well it's about damn time he did.

[Mark-oqpf]

Trumps not even in office yet but already he is helping our neighbors to the north

[victoriaschell]

Hope an investigation and imprisonment follows!

[mikep]

yea that just happened. good for you canada

[jamescalvin]

Not til this one did I ever think of Canada and tyranny in the same moment.

[sandraconnelly]

Is anyone up to the task of cleaning up his mess? The fall out of his failed policies will affect Canadians for generations.

[celticmicrobes]

He should be put in prison for endangering his own people

[txhc]

Yeah, the people are getting too close to the truth.

[sudilos]

W-W~W-Whaaaut!? I DECLARE CELEBRATION!! 🎊

[anthonythibodeaux]

Absolute power will corrupt absolutely

[TheSurfrer]

He's probably still snowboarding.

[HotWheelzU]

Wishing the best NEW YEAR EVER for Canada and all Canadians!

[andreinastase]

Long past due.
He should be arrested right after and charged with treason.

[alexandraroels]

Canada needs different laws like other countries, 4 years in power and no re-elections. And immediately fire the prime minister who comes with crazy ideas like Trudeau and his father Fidel Castro, Venezuela, or narco dictators like the crazy former president of Mexico. López Obrador will have to retire immediately. That would help the Canadian economy.
