Four more years is more than Canadians are able to give at this time !

[garycottreau]

Disappointment. Tried to pressure Jody and now appointments of judges.

[tylerkozak]

Wow this is some softball journalism. Really earning that payment from the Canadian taxpayer

[Propplane]

Justin is lying...his lips are moving.

[daniellamarche]

Justin doesn't care how things look as far as conflict of interest proved that with SNC.

[GsunnyGGamer]

Man can we call the election already? Anyone even considering voting for this silver spoon fed PM is a lost cause.

[fredroblin]

Nothing to see here folks, you’re just experiencing it differently. Kind of worked once for him. Just saying. Lol

[wvincus]

Make Justawaterboxthingy unemployed again or perhaps he will get work at a packaging company, counting and packing plastic forks and spoons. In Quebec of course.

I think Canadians are Tired of Justin and CBC.

[sargongabriel]

We Canadians are guilty because we elect corrupted persons in the government and because of our vote the corrupted are corrupting our Great Canadian Government by appointing relatives or donor to the party to influential posts.

[philmowatt]

It sounds like the Liberal government is the best money can buy. Le plus ca change....

[Razor]

Its Hilarious that he thinks no one see's the corruption, when you pick friends and family for government positions is that merit based and transparent Justin?

[mohamhead]

Why does Trudeau like to get pictures taken beside some Chinese guy sitting there with a turkey on his head? Who is that guy?

[hermittmog]

Where can we see this "transparent" system you speak of? Transparent means you can see through it. The only thing transparent about this government is the PM. People are starting to see through him.

[dontpokethebear]

If it’s supposedly merit based Let voters decide Judges. My vote for hanging Judges.

[billkreutzweiser]

Your story would have been more balanced if you highlighted the election of judges that much of the US yes, Judges go door to door asking for your vote!

[evanshiong]

Ralph Goodale lost his seat. I believe Dominic is the last remaining Liberal minister now who has served since the premiership of Jean Chretien. Is it sort of nostalgic? Sorta. But I’m not that sad that Liberals lost their seats

The man child makes me want to take a shower...

Still demonizing Harper, our last adult PM.
