+Walter “TheOneWhoKnocks” White There's only one problem with Bernie Sanders; he's a socialist(which isn't a bad thing in my book) but that is on the extreme left of the US system. Unfortunately the problem with that is he will be unable to get anything done because Republicans will never agree with his proposals and it will take a lot to make Democrats, particularly in more conservative ridings, to follow him if they do that at all.
Sammy Wu I'm sorry. I understand that you are a supporter of Mr. Sanders. While I am not American I do find him to be the candidate that I would vote for. That being said, I do not understand what I have done to offend you; my comment was that his ideals and policies would have difficulty getting traction in both houses not a condemnation of said ideals and policies. Please inform me of my misconduct so I can understand your viewpoint.
I don't know why everyone hates on Strombo. He at least lets his interviewees get their point out without constantly interrupting in an attempt to influence the conversation.
I like Trudeau and if I could vote directly for him to be PM, I would. As a young(ish) person myself, I think it would be a nice change of pace to see someone in power who is eager to make changes that I support & who is more in touch with the younger vote. At any rate, he could never be worse than Harper.
I like how because I said that I personally, as one individual, feel like his platform is relevant to me, again as one individual, I'm suddenly uninformed, only care about weed and think that only young people should vote (grasping at straws much?). I know I'm going to be wasting my time, but three relevant causes to me - job creation & stability, because I got fucked by the recession in terms of when I graduated and entered the job market; believing that - gasp - women have the right to abortion & supporting that cause; affordable post-secondary education, since I'd like to go back and further my own education because undergrads don't cut it anymore (see point 1). Not that it matters, but I'm indifferent towards legalizing marijuana. I have no doubt you'll have fun tearing into everything I just said, but I'm done giving my opinion to people who make ironically uninformed assumptions.
trentmcjiivers Good response to inflammatory and childish remarks. Thanks for not fighting fire with fire; I was expecting to have to scroll through a long comment fight...
I first voted for Harper at age 18, and I'll be 25 when I vote for him this October for my third time. I've never felt that he was out of touch with the younger vote. I didn't like how the G20 was handled, our involvement in Libya, neither his support of the BC HST, and I don't like his views on cannabis & prostitution. Nor do I agree with stance towards Bashar al-Assad. My support has been shaken in the past, but I will be voting for him because he's still the better choice. He's best for the economy, and he doesn't have an out-of-touch cloistered mind frame, as is so common amongst urbanites. I should point out that I'm an atheist living in a suburb, not a religious conservative from some farm town.
OK as a "youngish" voter you have most likely never had to pay taxes whilst under the "YOKE" of a Tax and Spend Liberal government.I have and I dont like the tax and spend policies of the Lieberals. Getting down to brass tacks...how many Canadians both young or old or middle age or all of them approaching all of those ages would want to have an unqualified and inexperienced pot smoking drama teacher to be the leader of Canada.Justin Trudeau has no experience with regards to politics and he got elected via name recognition. I truly pity Canada if Justin Trudeau becomes Prime Minister as he will only lead the country down the road of ruin
+Taylor Lange When you elect a Trudeau you vote for someone who is for himself. If this is your pic, you were not born when his daddy was PM so you wouldn't know
+Tony Michaud You are not defined by your parents, siblings, cousins or grand parents. You are your own person and to say one Trudeau is like all Trudeau's is quite frankly idiotic.
I'm ok with gambling on Justin. He might not be an intellectual, but he seems genuine. People call him a dummy, maybe unfairly, maybe not, but he seems like a respectable and trustworthy person. I like him.
M.r. Moon I don't know if one should say that I don't even know what his IQ actually is for one thing or that of the people who criticize him if I knew. Also there is some screening before a party chooses someone to compete for leadership. The thing is he is not as intelligent as Jean Chretien was and likely even Harper (who was actually intelligent although was not a very sympathetic person with others. Like Bush Jr, he had some advantage to get to where he did because of his fathers name and affiliation in politics. I am not sure what sort of a person he is or what kind of a leader he will be although he seems slick to me in a way that is not comforting yet alone straightforward or honest

You're missing a few facts. Justin taught a variety of subjects including Math and French. He then left that to do engineering in Montreal and later pursued a masters in environmental geography. And he has been fighting for Canadian federalism since he was in college. And if we're going to talk about educational credentials Harper left U of Toronto because it was too hard, then worked in a mail room and then eventually enrolled in University of Calgary and eventually got a masters in economics. And he was the first PM that didn't have a law degree. Nothing too impressive or even better than Trudeau when he started out as PM. And if we're going to talk about illegal substances Harper supported Rob Ford the poster child of using illegal substances in Canada this past election. So when Harper was elected as PM he set the bar on low experience.
Still feel that way after snc scandal, blackface, peoplekond, the india trip, the aga khan scandal, letting isis fighters in, groping that reporter. Holy fuck, did this age well or what?
I must say, I've changed my mind about Trudeau in recent months. I think he is a well-rounded individual who has the emotional and intellectual ability to govern. He is cultured, thoughtful and has a wit about him. Besides, from the very beginning, he has surrounded himself with incredibly talented, intelligent people...Air-head dummies don't do that.
It's 2021, and it's clear he doesn't possess any of the characteristics you claim, and his government is a conglomerate of incompetents. Hasn't achieved a single significant thing in six years. His recent campaign was a spew of alarmist, unfounded slander. What a petty little twit.
Prior to this interview I wondered if Trudeau was ready to be a PM. I thought he was more of a celebrity than a leader. But he proved otherwise in this interview. I was quite impressed with his responses. Hope he does not disappoint.
@@shibbyjim Trudeau is a disgrace plain and simple. Have you never read a news paper or watched the news. It looks like people may be starting to figure that out.
Its a shame that hes got his fathers looks and his mothers intellect, and not the reverse. Canada used to be respected elsewhere with leaders like Pearson and Pierre Trudeau, now its just going the way of the US. Too bad.
The Middle Class is suffering? No raise in 30 years? I'm confident he has NO idea what he is talking about. He's substituting substance for style. It works well. But it won't work in a debate. Iggy tanked the party in 2011 after the debate when Layton nailed him. Harper and Mulcair are going to eat this kid alive.
P.M. Harper has a vision for Canada. Mulcair and Trudeau have not given the Canadian people a vision. Prime Minister Harper has a vision for Canada, but, you the Canadian public, thats for Stephen to know and for you to find out. He wrote a book recently-is it there?
Bob TheBuilder He likes the fact that the CBC views Justin favourably so that CBC coverage of politics can go back to "sunny ways" similar to Chinese State media. All problems appear to go away.
The "sunny ways" would come back a lot sooner if it weren't for haters like you who despise and attack him for everything he does, even if Harper did the same thing.
I'm Canadian and would like to go back to the Monarchy. Soon we will have a Asian or Pakistani PM In Canada representing their interests. I can't handle this. I can't grow to be a old man and see this happen. Just like the collapse of Germany's borders is causing me to want to go fight. I honestly can't live in this world.
George didn't make this one easy, but Justin is good with rhetoric. Listen, I get that what was said about the Prairies was...what it was, but voting Conservative is disgusting. You're voting for some of the most retrograde policies, the kind that make people suffer. Liberals have made people suffer too, but these Conservatives are the worst in almost every sense. I've agreed with them on a select few issues.
The guy just looks good. So is his father but the depth he's racked? Is just about enough for me not to vote. The world can't afford it. No trudeau for me.
There's far more important issues right now than just weed. And just because he said it doesn't mean it will happen. Moreover, you'll handle up spending more money on weed because of the tax than you are right now. Harper might not be your first choice but there's one thing for sure; he has far more experience in the working world and in leading a country than trudeau, who is born of huge privilege, have. Trudeau doesn't have any real vision. He's just fluff and B.S. Typical media puppet. As for weed i really don't care whether its legalized or not. I'll still use it anyway. What truly matter for me is jobs and economic health. And Canada, under harper rule, have one of the richest middle class right now.
Im 28 and will be voting for the first time in a while ... I will vote for Harper not because I agree with him on much of anything its just I feel I have to because Trudeau is absolutely horrifying.
Bryan3934 same age first time voter and I will be voting for Trudeau because I want weed legal. I promise you Trudeau or who ever promises legalization will be the next PM
He said "the plan is to target Canadians" Well 40% of Canadians don't want what he says! He is now changing very important policies that Stephen Harper has put into place in order to keep us safe and could put us in serious danger! I think he would be better to go into acting and become a movie star, or maybe be a model in GQ!
+Ruth Vaillancourt Well, you're stuck with him for another 4 years anyway. But, in all seriousness, give him a chance. He hasn't really gotten the chance to prove himself yet since he isn't sword in until November. And he has to have something going for him if the majority of the Canadian population voted for him.
+Ruth Vaillancourt I can see Stephen Harper's fear campain worked quite a bit. The conservatives keep on blathering about how their policies keep us safe from danger (real or imagined) and how the other parties will bring on the apocalypse by changing them. This is the same kind of bullshit Americans use to justify carry permits to "protect themselves" while totally ignoring the actual reality and numbers. Whether you like the Liberals or not, I think the best possible thing for us right now is to watch what they do and in 4 years, realize the changes we feared so much never put us in "serious danger" as the Conservatives claim. How legitimate can a party' ideas be when the need to scare the crap out of us to get us to agree with them?
sweiland75 Show me someone to vote for that stands up for what is right and stays true to there promises... We shouldn't be allowed to vote for idiots, but that's the only choices we have..
MrWizardofozzz justin trudeau voted for bill c-51 bottomline I DONT TRUST HIM! tom mulcair is a calm rational minded person who doesnt want to spy on people for protesting a pipeline
michael coutu Politicians always make promises and then forget them when they are elected... Why is Tom any different..?? Are you saying only Tom will keep his promises..?? Justin's only role is to make voters see no other decision than voting for Harper and are both the same people, why else did Justin refuse to join Tom and the NDP boys and stamp out the Harper regime..?? Obviously, Justin is working with Harper and it doesn't matter which wins, same dictator that needs to take away your freedom because of a fake war..
More than 50% of Canadians think Cannabis should be legalized and controlled. He says he will legalize, Harper ignores the majority. Who is leaning more towards Democracy? Enough Said. Not a big fan of "government control" But if you actually are worried about Marijuana getting to your children, government control will do a better job of that than the black market... Stop being Ignorant and Afraid. Or dare I say .. Even a little dumb.
Alistair Overeem as a first time voter same here and I will try and bring atleast 10 more votes first time votes with me... first time voters will be the change we need!
That you are, to comment almost three years later and with pure intent to insult, that sir truly does make you a complete fucking idiot. Lets soak it in, your time to shine, perhaps play The Duck Song, it seems to make you feel better.
I want to like him... I really do... But he's so idealistic. He doesn't explain how he's going to follow through with his plans (which are vague to say the least).
Stop funding the Liberal parties very own media company. I don't want my tax dollars spent campaigning for this guy. With all the campaigning the CBC is doing to oust Stephen Harper, you would expect his poll numbers to be much worse than they are. The reason Harper's numbers are still strong after all the work The CBC has done shows how much better a candidate he is.
I think he will be very good for Canada, and I wish him all the best. It would be really nice if the US found some candidates like this young man. Instead of the self righteous trash that runs in US elections.
Sounds good to me. Please, if you are critical, please link to the interview that Stephen Harper did with George S. or the one Tom Mulcair did. I genuinely would like to see them do real interviews and hear what they have to say. I would like to see all the candidates sit down and have a real debate about their policy ideas and positions. Personally, I am more of a Green, but JT holds his own here. This fellow rep's Canada's people more then Stephen Harper.
Politics nowadays is about narrative and how candidates portray themselves by defining themselves in the most simple (and simplistic) way. Trudeau is about being young and positive in contrast to old guy Harper and negative guy Mulcair. It might work because that's how it is done these days.
What a pleasure to watch. Strombo is such an asset to Canada, such a consistently excellent interview, I just love him to pieces. Wish we had him down here in the States. And the new Prime Minister comes off so human and down to earth here, it's a pleasure to watch (even though he looks 14). One hopes he will not become too jaded and cynical after a few years in the hot seat. Congrats, Canada. Great choice.
He better be running against harper...We need a PM who cares about Canada. Our people and environment are important, we are the builders of the future Canada. We need to work on things which make our future better as a whole, and not just focus on the economy. We also need to be friends as we have been in the past with everyone who wants free democratic societies, not buddy up with a dictatorship rule which takes rights and freedoms, enforce instead of serve and protect, and run broke those who turn the gears of the Canadian workforce. Science is the guiding light of all life. It is our path to our future and if we cast it aside to rip our Earth of materials we shouldn't even need, we have no future. We can't get to a life-sustaining planet with our knowledge and technology. We cannot live on the moon long term. We can not live in a tiny space station long term. We need to take action to save the environment, while working together as friendly nations to better ourselves as a whole. The political system of today doesn't work and this statement proves itself over and over every day. We need to re-think our economic system, and re-build the Canada our father's once saw. Our children are the future, not oil!!! Lets put more money into the educational systems from west to east. Lets pay the teachers and professors more to guide and teach our future while leaving the space and freedom to grow and expand their personal ways. For every student who graduates at least 5 fail or drop out. (rough estimate). This is troubling when you look at it on a grand scale and long term. It can be done, if we want to!. As long as there are guns, there will be killing. The greatest plague of all time is the violence and greed with in all of us. Instead of working on new viruses and making different ones, we should be studying where and why in the human system these plagues reside, and find a natural way to eliminate or control these areas. It can be done if we want to. The global bankers taught us a very important lesson. A system based around money ie> a monetary system does NOT work. It might look good on paper, it may sound good but slowly it takes and feeds the violence and greed. We need to start selecting our own people to run for leadership, not those who have been put in front of us and told "chose!!!" We need to love, not hate. rant over!!!
How British politics could do with the kind of campaign that Trudeau is running with the Liberals right now. We've descended into 'American style' personal attacks between parties as our Labour and Liberal Democrat parties call each others leaders names. I'd be voting for him if I lived in Canada or if he stood here. I don't totally agree with him, on environmental issues in-particular, but he is frank, positive and explains his positions.
He says that he doesn't trash talk! Lmfao! It's funny how much he has changed! I like the guy, but I feel that it he really wants Mr. Harper Out, and if he cared about getting the conservative government out he would have United with the other left party. Mr. Mulcair asked him twice to unite the left, but he's greedy, and wants the chair for himself... Plus he uses attack ads, where Mulcair doesn't. Mr. Mulcair just says what he wants to do.
Really? Mulcair and Harper have been using attack ads. He does not believe in a formal coalition BEFORE an election as it gives voters less choice. Justin pushed for May to be in the debates because he believes in democracy
Barry Chadwick Justin Trudeau will canter to La belle province of Quebec at the expense of others. I am from Ontario and believe me I say we should let Quebec go. Quebec's freedom is also Canada freedom.
Thats the dumbest idea i've ever herd I know Stephan harper would agree, Quebec is the cultural hub of our nation without quebec this nation would be but a glimmer of it self we need all of this nation to be great from coast to coast...I don't really care or know who's gonna win its just great to be a part of Canada's democratic process...
Barry Chadwick I respect your opinion but the way I see it is this... Pierre Trudeau came along and brought in bilingualism which hinders the qualify English speakers from getting elite jobs. This is a long over due war between new France and New England and if the French as not gotten over the fact they lost the war by now they never will. Look at it this way , in 1995 referendum they came close to separating. Fast forward to present and they vote the PQ party in. Pauline Marois adds another Anti-English law because according to her the French language is in a fragile state. Then she wants a majority government but instead of voting her back in they vote for a party to remain in Canada. This does not make sense. By the way if Quebec separates the Maple Leaf which is a French symbol goes back to Quebec and I am taking back the Red Ensign Flag plus my English symbols. They have change our street names form English to French. What they want is BILINGUAL TODAY FRENCH ONLY TOMORROW and none of this should be happening. Quebec has made it very clear the English is not welcome there. I am sorry but this war has to end and Quebec and Canada needs to part way or this will just continue to go on and on.
I didn't vote Liberal, I voted Trudeau ! Give this guy a chance, he doesn't need a speech in his hand to be able to speak from his heart. Wake up people !!!!
George Stroumboulopoulos is a great interviewer. I'm so happy Justin Trudeau is the new prime minister of Canada. He is smart and seems to genuinely care about the welfare of all Canadians -- and not just some. May God bless, protect, and guide him well.
On Wednesday, the same poll indicated that the Liberals now have an eight-point lead over the Conservatives. If an election were held tomorrow, 37 per cent said they would vote Liberal (up four points from early February); 29 per cent would vote Conservative (unchanged); 24 per cent would vote NDP (down three per cent); while 18 per cent were undecided. I guess young people are thinking more practically. Remember when Harper told his crew "I don't care what you do to the economy, just fix it!", my father remembers how rash that comment was, with no thought behind it.

***** Correct ! Albertans are Scared of change! Most Albertans are way over their head in dept. The mere mention of the Alberta Government raising OIL Royalty rates or a Liberal or NDP government getting into power provincially SCARES the SH*T out of them!

How can you tell that this 🤡 is lying? His lips are moving . Moron and an embarrassment to 🇨🇦
I must say, I've changed my mind about Trudeau in recent months. I think he is a well-rounded individual who has the emotional and intellectual ability to govern. He is cultured, thoughtful and has a wit about him. Besides, from the very beginning, he has surrounded himself with incredibly talented, intelligent people...Air-head dummies don't do that.
Good actors do
It's 2021, and it's clear he doesn't possess any of the characteristics you claim, and his government is a conglomerate of incompetents. Hasn't achieved a single significant thing in six years. His recent campaign was a spew of alarmist, unfounded slander. What a petty little twit.
I'm not Liberal, Conservative, NDP, Green, or Bloc...
I'm Canadian. And that's why I'm voting Trudeau. He's our best option in that category.
Yeah...ok...
Hear, hear.
completely agree
Proudly voted for him
Prior to this interview I wondered if Trudeau was ready to be a PM. I thought he was more of a celebrity than a leader. But he proved otherwise in this interview. I was quite impressed with his responses. Hope he does not disappoint.
how do you like him now?
@@davidspinney2664 he's been pretty great...fixing the mess Harper left

@@shibbyjim Trudeau is a disgrace plain and simple. Have you never read a news paper or watched the news. It looks like people may be starting to figure that out.
Actually looks like a girl I went to high-school with her name was pat ! LMFAO 🤣 !
Its a shame that hes got his fathers looks and his mothers intellect, and not the reverse. Canada used to be respected elsewhere with leaders like Pearson and Pierre Trudeau, now its just going the way of the US. Too bad.
damn bit harsh jerry
Like mother, like son.
The Middle Class is suffering? No raise in 30 years? I'm confident he has NO idea what he is talking about. He's substituting substance for style. It works well. But it won't work in a debate. Iggy tanked the party in 2011 after the debate when Layton nailed him. Harper and Mulcair are going to eat this kid alive.
I agree. Harper can hand this moron his ass on a platter.
Are you saying the middle class isn't suffering? Because it is. The Liberals in Ontario have made sure of that...
Gary Taylor i am sure he can, being an ass himself.
P.M. Harper has a vision for Canada.
Mulcair and Trudeau have not given the Canadian people a vision.
Prime Minister Harper has a vision for Canada, but, you the Canadian public, thats for Stephen to know and for you to find out.
He wrote a book recently-is it there?
what a mess he has made,already,bad mistake takeing this guy in,,a complete no nothing
I like what Justin stands for, I hope he wins, I think he's the best for Canada.
+adam987689 #JustNotReady Being PM is not an entry-level job.
+52percent Tell that to Harper, dumbass.
+adam987689 Out of curiosity, what is it specifically that you like?
Bob TheBuilder He likes the fact that the CBC views Justin favourably so that CBC coverage of politics can go back to "sunny ways" similar to Chinese State media.
All problems appear to go away.
The "sunny ways" would come back a lot sooner if it weren't for haters like you who despise and attack him for everything he does, even if Harper did the same thing.
I'm Canadian and would like to go back to the Monarchy. Soon we will
have a Asian or Pakistani PM In Canada representing their interests. I
can't handle this. I can't grow to be a old man and see this
happen. Just like the collapse of Germany's borders is causing me to
want to go fight. I honestly can't live in this world.
Before he became a clown
This guy quality show that ,the serious wise people are no place on the politic field,just for buffoons.
George didn't make this one easy, but Justin is good with rhetoric. Listen, I get that what was said about the Prairies was...what it was, but voting Conservative is disgusting. You're voting for some of the most retrograde policies, the kind that make people suffer. Liberals have made people suffer too, but these Conservatives are the worst in almost every sense. I've agreed with them on a select few issues.
You're a poop head
Tor Guy
Agreed
Idiot
The guy just looks good. So is his father but the depth he's racked? Is just about enough for me not to vote. The world can't afford it. No trudeau for me.
kre8noys We can't afford weed not to be legal any more and we can't afford any more of Harper's spending sprees we need change and that's Justin.
There's far more important issues right now than just weed. And just because he said it doesn't mean it will happen. Moreover, you'll handle up spending more money on weed because of the tax than you are right now. Harper might not be your first choice but there's one thing for sure; he has far more experience in the working world and in leading a country than trudeau, who is born of huge privilege, have. Trudeau doesn't have any real vision. He's just fluff and B.S. Typical media puppet. As for weed i really don't care whether its legalized or not. I'll still use it anyway. What truly matter for me is jobs and economic health. And Canada, under harper rule, have one of the richest middle class right now.
***** You are brain dead, go back to school.
looks like he smoked a joint before he went on, the eyes don't lie.
He talked a good game, and fooled the country into believing his bullshit.
Did Trudeau's responses sound scripted, rehearsed, or light on details? No I didn't think so either.
down in the dumps he going to fix it we are in trouble
Im 28 and will be voting for the first time in a while ... I will vote for Harper not because I agree with him on much of anything its just I feel I have to because Trudeau is absolutely horrifying.
Bryan3934 at least vote for NDP , the item at your left would make a better prime minister than Harper
Yea your right.. i might just see if theirs a Libertarian candidate to vote for.
Bryan3934 same age first time voter and I will be voting for Trudeau because I want weed legal. I promise you Trudeau or who ever promises legalization will be the next PM
***** At least Justin will dye it when
this country turns it grey from stress.
Team Justin!!!!
Between Justin Trudeau and Rachel Notley we appear to be royally screwed.
He said "the plan is to target Canadians" Well 40% of Canadians don't want what he says! He is now changing very important policies that Stephen Harper has put into place in order to keep us safe and could put us in serious danger! I think he would be better to go into acting and become a movie star, or maybe be a model in GQ!
+Ruth Vaillancourt Well, you're stuck with him for another 4 years anyway. But, in all seriousness, give him a chance. He hasn't really gotten the chance to prove himself yet since he isn't sword in until November. And he has to have something going for him if the majority of the Canadian population voted for him.
+Ruth Vaillancourt I can see Stephen Harper's fear campain worked quite a bit. The conservatives keep on blathering about how their policies keep us safe from danger (real or imagined) and how the other parties will bring on the apocalypse by changing them. This is the same kind of bullshit Americans use to justify carry permits to "protect themselves" while totally ignoring the actual reality and numbers. Whether you like the Liberals or not, I think the best possible thing for us right now is to watch what they do and in 4 years, realize the changes we feared so much never put us in "serious danger" as the Conservatives claim. How legitimate can a party' ideas be when the need to scare the crap out of us to get us to agree with them?
I'm twelve minutes in and he hasn't mentioned a single issue. This guy. This is not my kind of guy.
Everyone says he's not ready, I will vote for him coz he's got lots of new idea that will help Canada grow more....
+Edo Santo So you like on-the-job training, the old trial and error kinda stuff?
+Tudval Stone It worked out fine for his dad. At least Justin has held real jobs, something that PET never really did until he became a politician.
+Pauline Triage pardon...apparently the only job he has held is 'drama teacher'

sweiland75 Show me someone to vote for that stands up for what is right and stays true to there promises... We shouldn't be allowed to vote for idiots, but that's the only choices we have..
MrWizardofozzz
Tom Mulcair and the NDP
MrWizardofozzz justin trudeau voted for bill c-51 bottomline I DONT TRUST HIM! tom mulcair is a calm rational minded person who doesnt want to spy on people for protesting a pipeline
michael coutu Politicians always make promises and then forget them when they are elected... Why is Tom any different..?? Are you saying only Tom will keep his promises..?? Justin's only role is to make voters see no other decision than voting for Harper and are both the same people, why else did Justin refuse to join Tom and the NDP boys and stamp out the Harper regime..??
Obviously, Justin is working with Harper and it doesn't matter which wins, same dictator that needs to take away your freedom because of a fake war..
Good on ya Justin! JUSTIN FOR THE WIN!!! 2015 HE WILL BE OUR PM!!!!!!!!!!! Vote Liberal!!!!
As a Yank, seeing him talk for the first time, he seems to have, oh, about 100x the charisma of that goofball Harper.
So Canada voted on Crisima and look what happened.
@@colenefrood5002 Yeah it got better. who knew!
How many idiots are in these comments? A lot.
More than 50% of Canadians think Cannabis should be legalized and controlled. He says he will legalize, Harper ignores the majority. Who is leaning more towards Democracy? Enough Said.
Not a big fan of "government control" But if you actually are worried about Marijuana getting to your children, government control will do a better job of that than the black market... Stop being Ignorant and Afraid. Or dare I say .. Even a little dumb.
I wonder what The Real Strombo thinks about JT now!
He is the best cause he always think about the middle class people's and never sycophant to the riches.
great interview. George seemed quite a bit star-struck (with Trudemania "II"?) but, with this, Justin spoke well. Very well.
Is engagement the only word he knows?
I cannot take this man seriously.
Justin reminds me of Joffrey from Game of Thrones...too young, too stupid, rides on a name and given power we are all fucked!
As a Canadian citizen I will be voting for Trudeau. We need change.
Alistair Overeem as a first time voter same here and I will try and bring atleast 10 more votes first time votes with me... first time voters will be the change we need!
yet another fucking idiot
That you are, to comment almost three years later and with pure intent to insult, that sir truly does make you a complete fucking idiot. Lets soak it in, your time to shine, perhaps play The Duck Song, it seems to make you feel better.
Hampton Brandon change? His change is destroying Canada !
To all the haters: be glad you don’t have trump
I want to like him... I really do... But he's so idealistic. He doesn't explain how he's going to follow through with his plans (which are vague to say the least).
This guy reminds me of Tony Blair! All spin, no message! If I were Canadian I would vote for the New Democratic Party.
He will never win office.
Conservative pride!
PM!
This hasn’t aged well.
Justin Trudeau becoming our new PM just makes me so proud to be Canadian, I've never seen a politician that is so genuine and relatable
LOL
This held up great lol
A "filter between his brain and the mouth" what a smart way to describe Justin Trudeau....
ask him if he can say Saskatchewan
Imagine what 1.8 Billion would have done for Calgary ?? and it gets blown on Toronto ?! please explain Harper.
Stop funding the Liberal parties very own media company. I don't want my tax dollars spent campaigning for this guy. With all the campaigning the CBC is doing to oust Stephen Harper, you would expect his poll numbers to be much worse than they are. The reason Harper's numbers are still strong after all the work The CBC has done shows how much better a candidate he is.
the last part is the powerful part....
Congratulations Prime Minister Trudeau, well done!
Infinitely more charming than Harper, but I worry about his foreign policy more than anything in these times...
Sold right out to the CCP
I think he will be very good for Canada, and I wish him all the best. It would be really nice if the US found some candidates like this young man. Instead of the self righteous trash that runs in US elections.
Self righteous trash? This comment hasn't aged well has it
Sounds good to me. Please, if you are critical, please link to the interview that Stephen Harper did with George S. or the one Tom Mulcair did. I genuinely would like to see them do real interviews and hear what they have to say. I would like to see all the candidates sit down and have a real debate about their policy ideas and positions. Personally, I am more of a Green, but JT holds his own here. This fellow rep's Canada's people more then Stephen Harper.
How do you square this farcard with the real Justin.
The Justin Trudeau of SCL Lavalin, etc
canada needs a such young..positive motivated and hard working person like Trudeau.
Politics nowadays is about narrative and how candidates portray themselves by defining themselves in the most simple (and simplistic) way.
Trudeau is about being young and positive in contrast to old guy Harper and negative guy Mulcair.
It might work because that's how it is done these days.
if you believe what that idiot says
strombo.. master!
Are you his slave?
...is that a pumpkin or your head?
Holy cow guy ya look like you're ready to pop...eat less and shit more
I vote liberal because I love when people steal my money.
Wonderful, The more I see of Justin, the more I'm willing to give him my vote. Get out and Vote folks. (anyone other than Harper)
What a pleasure to watch. Strombo is such an asset to Canada, such a consistently excellent interview, I just love him to pieces. Wish we had him down here in the States. And the new Prime Minister comes off so human and down to earth here, it's a pleasure to watch (even though he looks 14). One hopes he will not become too jaded and cynical after a few years in the hot seat. Congrats, Canada. Great choice.
Idiot
He better be running against harper...We need a PM who cares about Canada. Our people and environment are important, we are the builders of the future Canada. We need to work on things which make our future better as a whole, and not just focus on the economy. We also need to be friends as we have been in the past with everyone who wants free democratic societies, not buddy up with a dictatorship rule which takes rights and freedoms, enforce instead of serve and protect, and run broke those who turn the gears of the Canadian workforce. Science is the guiding light of all life. It is our path to our future and if we cast it aside to rip our Earth of materials we shouldn't even need, we have no future. We can't get to a life-sustaining planet with our knowledge and technology. We cannot live on the moon long term. We can not live in a tiny space station long term. We need to take action to save the environment, while working together as friendly nations to better ourselves as a whole.
The political system of today doesn't work and this statement proves itself over and over every day. We need to re-think our economic system, and re-build the Canada our father's once saw. Our children are the future, not oil!!! Lets put more money into the educational systems from west to east. Lets pay the teachers and professors more to guide and teach our future while leaving the space and freedom to grow and expand their personal ways. For every student who graduates at least 5 fail or drop out. (rough estimate). This is troubling when you look at it on a grand scale and long term. It can be done, if we want to!.
As long as there are guns, there will be killing. The greatest plague of all time is the violence and greed with in all of us. Instead of working on new viruses and making different ones, we should be studying where and why in the human system these plagues reside, and find a natural way to eliminate or control these areas. It can be done if we want to.
The global bankers taught us a very important lesson. A system based around money ie> a monetary system does NOT work. It might look good on paper, it may sound good but slowly it takes and feeds the violence and greed. We need to start selecting our own people to run for leadership, not those who have been put in front of us and told "chose!!!" We need to love, not hate.
rant over!!!
God if we only knew what he would do to Canada. Looking back now it was nothing but red flags.
how do i put on unlike click on georges aggressive bully face

I do vote, and hope he looses.

Adam Holmes Why? He's just another Conservative. Why replace one Conservative with another?
Does that is suppose to make any sense?
Aaron Lewis todays liberals are tomorrows conservatives. Plus steven harpy is a fucking dink.
How British politics could do with the kind of campaign that Trudeau is running with the Liberals right now. We've descended into 'American style' personal attacks between parties as our Labour and Liberal Democrat parties call each others leaders names. I'd be voting for him if I lived in Canada or if he stood here.
I don't totally agree with him, on environmental issues in-particular, but he is frank, positive and explains his positions.
He says that he doesn't trash talk! Lmfao! It's funny how much he has changed! I like the guy, but I feel that it he really wants Mr. Harper Out, and if he cared about getting the conservative government out he would have United with the other left party. Mr. Mulcair asked him twice to unite the left, but he's greedy, and wants the chair for himself... Plus he uses attack ads, where Mulcair doesn't. Mr. Mulcair just says what he wants to do.
Really? Mulcair and Harper have been using attack ads. He does not believe in a formal coalition BEFORE an election as it gives voters less choice. Justin pushed for May to be in the debates because he believes in democracy

Can Quebec and Ontario give him everything he needs, perhaps but its earned from this point forward
Your way of thinking shows the kind of idiots that votes Trudeau.
Barry Chadwick
Justin Trudeau will canter to La belle province of Quebec at the expense of others. I am from Ontario and believe me I say we should let Quebec go. Quebec's freedom is also Canada freedom.
Thats the dumbest idea i've ever herd I know Stephan harper would agree, Quebec is the cultural hub of our nation without quebec this nation would be but a glimmer of it self we need all of this nation to be great from coast to coast...I don't really care or know who's gonna win its just great to be a part of Canada's democratic process...
Barry Chadwick
I respect your opinion but the way I see it is this...
Pierre Trudeau came along and brought in bilingualism which hinders the qualify English speakers from getting elite jobs.
This is a long over due war between new France and New England and if the French as not gotten over the fact they lost the war by now they never will.
Look at it this way , in 1995 referendum they came close to separating. Fast forward to present and they vote the PQ party in. Pauline Marois adds another Anti-English law because according to her the French language is in a fragile state. Then she wants a majority government but instead of voting her back in they vote for a party to remain in Canada. This does not make sense. By the way if Quebec separates the Maple Leaf which is a French symbol goes back to Quebec and I am taking back the Red Ensign Flag plus my English symbols. They have change our street names form English to French. What they want is BILINGUAL TODAY FRENCH ONLY TOMORROW and none of this should be happening.
Quebec has made it very clear the English is not welcome there.
I am sorry but this war has to end and Quebec and Canada needs to part way or this will just continue to go on and on.
I didn't vote Liberal, I voted Trudeau ! Give this guy a chance, he doesn't need a speech in his hand to be able to speak from his heart. Wake up people !!!!
Idiot
George Stroumboulopoulos is a great interviewer.
I'm so happy Justin Trudeau is the new prime minister of Canada. He is smart and seems to genuinely care about the welfare of all Canadians -- and not just some. May God bless, protect, and guide him well.
On Wednesday, the same poll indicated that the Liberals now have an eight-point lead over the Conservatives. If an election were held tomorrow, 37 per cent said they would vote Liberal (up four points from early February); 29 per cent would vote Conservative (unchanged); 24 per cent would vote NDP (down three per cent); while 18 per cent were undecided. I guess young people are thinking more practically. Remember when Harper told his crew "I don't care what you do to the economy, just fix it!", my father remembers how rash that comment was, with no thought behind it.
