Why can't this guy just answer a simple question?

[hecke]

Carbon tax is picking Canadians pockets and nothing more.

Would love to see Trump debate Trudeau. Set up a pay per view.

[GI-uwtw]

Blah, Blah, Blah, Harper, Blah, Blah, Blah...it’s the same argument every time.

I am a neutralized Canadian, this drama makes me laugh and wonder. Why Canada allows incompetent politicians damage Canada obviously on purpose, not simply because of stupidity?

[frienda]

Justin's chicanery sounds really ipsetting. Stop quibble!!! To me Justin is doing damage to Canada in general. I start to think he is doing it on purpose.

[lindarasmussen]

Even Trump would understand a 5 year sunset clause is unreasonable! What is up with this clause?

[frienda]

Justin, you are a struggling fire fighter...

[nicolasseguin]

Yes to renewable energy. No to the pipeline. Canadian Citizen here.

[timothyireson]

86% of Canadians are paying carbon tax... except for Quebec... of course

[laurejon]

The only people who are complaining about supply management is Donald Trump, and Canadian Consumers who pay the high prices.

Enjoy your depression Canada mr uhh uhhh Truboy leads the way

[phatx]

So the waiver for Sunset clause WAS on the table? Did Trudeau press conference pissed Trump so much, we back at square one?

"Stephen Harper" and "10 years": when is this PM going to grow up and start realizing that it's his government which is now steering Canada's economy. He absolutely failed in his talks with Trump, he keeps regurgitating the same boring points. When is he going to be the "fresh and new" PM we've all heard he was supposed to be?

You know the Cannabis "legalization" which is being rammed through Parliament? Well, compare the proposed regs with those for tobacco producers. Tobacco growers don't need a federal license and Provincial permits or simple registration is cheap or free, as in Ontario. Growers need a buyer contract before they grow the crop, and have maximum quotas. They don't need to hire guards or scientists.

You see, Trudeau's form of legalization is designed to exclude all but those funded by big US investment firms such as BlackRock. For naive "mom and pop" operations, the result is predictable; bankruptcies on huge debts required to start up, because Canopy and the others won't have any quotas and will, obviously, crush them like bugs long before they're able to start actually making a profit, in like 5-10 years. You're about to see a bunch of gullible dreamers get welcomed to Trudeau's reality by having their credit ruined and losing everything they own.

We need immigrants to stay as one of the best maybe some don't agree how they come but at the end of the day they all get to work to contribute to the economy so as long as they not working the system I'm good

[frankgenner]

I am an American, and wow I might not agree with some of Justin Trudeau's policies I must respect the man for how well he can debate when he has to
