Ms Freeland, you do not speak for me. Your condescending tone is exactly indicative of the hubris of your government and the misguided policy and attacks on Canadians we've suffered from these past years. Girl, don't go away mad. Just go away.

The speaker of the house should have the power to ensure they answer the question.Otherwise what's the point of "question period"

[hoodoosmusik]

Free land has the most annoying way to NOT answering any questions. Instead, she’s mocking the working Canadians.

[karminaburana]

I can't believe we're actually paying a salary to this woman.

[drewpen]

When the math didn't work out Freeland tried to emote her way out of it.

[WhiteRaven]

Freeland just comes across so smug and it’s written all over her face, arrogance and incompetence of this government is outstanding🤡🤦🏻

[MrShene]

Freeland never actually answers a question.

[HHh-qech]

How can she seem so offended when she's asked to answer the simplest of questions

[JasenMacTurdsen]

I am not even conservative but fully support Pierre Poilievre and will be voting for him!

*Correction on the title: Pierre asks direct questions and provides openly numerical & accountable responses, while Freeland condescends in delusional abstract.

[HeyHerdy]

Notice how Freeland switches to the emotional argument when she can't win the argument with numbers

[DionKedianPhotography]

Geezus, Freeland is absolutely wait to see her lose her job.

[cmn]

I wish I could get paid to go to work scream at everyone and carry on like a 2 year old, this government is a complete joke

[Unpopular_pinion]

I lost respect for Freeland when she felt "verbally assaulted" when her citizen yelled at her. That could've been a moment of dialogue. She could've asked him why he's upset and taken note of it. But instead she scurried away. Words can't hurt you unless you let them, and if you're going to let words hurt you I don't want you representing me.

[lylarose]

Freeland is so clued out as to what Pierre is saying.

[christophercharles]

Notice how Freeland, unlike Poilievre, never answers the question she is asked. She always come back with another question. She is probably the most reprehensible politician in Canada next to her boss. I would have like to have heard his response to the crypto reference though. The video cut off at that point.

[takenote]

The gall of our deputy prime minister trying to deflect responsibility

[desertrose]

Love Pierre 🇨🇦❤️ finally a proper leader in the house🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[tallonvexgaming]

I couldn't help it but I bust out laughing every time Freeland spoke.

[MrToddles]

Funny how Freeland removes all doubt everytime she speaks
