Canadians made a mistake electing Trudeau. We can admit it. It is time for us to move on and start focusing on Canadians prosperity ...

I agree but with whom at the helm? Methinks NONE of the current party leaders are are any better or worse than Trudeau The Younger" Many would agree that they all have the same puppet masters N'esy Pas?

Not doing a very good job of it. Unity is hanging by a thread.

Quebec where Trudeau is from, is the single biggest obstacle to unity of the post national state. The billions of taxpayers money transferred to them every year is obscene.

Reply to @Mario Doucet:
Post national state means we are not Canadian but belong to the rest of the world and must take every other countries point of view into account. Division is strength, slavery is freedom, hot is cold and all that other bafflegab.


Brad Mercier 
Reply to @Doug James: Yup, good old Orwellian doublespeak.

Reply to @Mario Doucet:

Yeah Quebec knows how to play the game politically. Alberta we don't we are fools here for blinding voting CPC only. Means both major parties pay lip service to Alberta and toss us the odd bone. Quebec switches it up. CPC one time. Liberals another, NDP, Bloc so politicians favor Quebec to get the votes. Alberta vote CPC only. no need to earn their votes. CPC can take us for granted and the other can ignore us.

National unity? When have the Liberals been concerned about that? Maybe regarding Quebec.

I dont believe for a minute all of these attacks on our government are real Canadians.

Reply to @Bob Evans:
These cons have been weaponizing polarization of Canadians in an attempt to bring our country under an authoritarian structure run by the right wing or destroy our country.

Last time Canada's unity was threatened like this was under Trudeau's fathers reign.

They're both good at giving "The Trudeau Salute" to Canada.


James Mckenna 
Reply to @Flip Anderson: Justin will never get over the fact that so many hated his father. He can't get past that and that is his biggest fault. When you are the leader of a country, you have to brush that off and take care of business. Does he think people elected him to carry out a vengeance in the name of his father?

Faceless blog accounts claiming they are Canadians , i dont believe it for one second

These western based cons have been threatening to break up Canada for years if they dont get their way, call their bluff, expose these subversives to Canadians.

Reply to @Darren MacDonald: taking a walk in Tofino surf sounds cold


David Amos   
Reply to @Alexander Graham: Methinks the ghost of my Father and his comrades in arms would disagree. Their aircraft crashed in the Tofino area in WWII (the war Trudeau's daddy dodged) My Father was the soul survivor of that crash or I would not be running against our surfer leader and his many cohorts and have done so since 2004 N'esy Pas?













Alex Reti
Nice try, JT, but no cigar. The main one threatening national unity is you. Besides, after the October election this whole issue will not be your worry.


David Amos  
Reply to @alex reti: Methinks when it comes to hard ball politicking here to October is an eternity Hence the fat lady ain't sung yet N'esy Pas?

Either everyone is wrong and Justin is right or he just wasn't ready.

Reply to @William T Fowler: Saying he just wasn't ready implies he would be at some point. This is not the case.

Premiers 'threatening national unity' with their demands on federal environmental bills: Trudeau

'The fundamental job of any Canadian prime minister is to hold this country together,' PM says

Trudeau calls out Tory premiers




"It's absolutely irresponsible for conservative premiers to be threatening our national unity if they don't get their way," Trudeau told reporters today.

"The fundamental job of any Canadian prime minister is to hold this country together, to gather us together and move forward in the right way. And anyone who wants to be prime minister, like Andrew Scheer, needs to condemn those attacks on national unity."

Trudeau made the remarks a day after the premiers of Ontario, New Brunswick, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and the Northwest Territories wrote him to demand he make concessions on two key government bills.

The first piece of legislation is C-69, the Liberal government's attempt to rewrite the rules for approving major national resource projects in Canada. The second is C-48, the planned ban on oil tankers along B.C.'s northern coast.

"The federal government must recognize the exclusive role provinces and territories have over the management of our non-renewable natural resource development or risk creating a constitutional crisis," the letter says.
The premiers say in the letter that C-69 would make it "virtually impossible" to develop infrastructure projects for resource extraction and deprive the country of "much needed investment."

The Senate's energy committee passed more than 180 amendments during its consideration of C-69 before returning it to the House for MPs to vote on it.

"Our five provinces and territory stand united and strongly urge the government to accept Bill C-69 as amended by the Senate, in order to minimize the damage to the Canadian economy," the letter says.

"We would encourage the government of Canada and all members of the House of Commons to accept the full slate of amendments to the bill."

Some amendments, but not all


On Tuesday in the House, questioned by Conservative MP Lisa Raitt, Trudeau said he would consider the amendments and would keep the ones that improved the legislation — but warned that not all would be accepted.

The premiers say that the proposed tanker ban on B.C.'s north coast threatens investor confidence and "discriminates against western Canadian crude products."

"We would urge the government to stop pressing for the passage of this bill which will have detrimental effects on national unity and for the Canadian economy as a whole," the letter says.
Asked to comment on the premiers' decision to invoke national unity regarding the bills, Raitt said she hopes that Trudeau takes the threat "very seriously."

"They've put forth their case and they've indicated that in their best interests, or in their best view, that this could lead to a constitutional issue," Raitt said.

"I think you have to take them seriously when they say things like that and it's up to the prime minister to make that response."

In an interview with CBC News Network's Power & Politics, New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs said that Trudeau's claim that the premiers are threatening national unity was an overreaction, and he should listen to what the Senate says about C-69.

"They have all of these recommendations in place. To say that we are going to pick one or two and then walk away, I think, speaks for itself — that it was a disingenuous exercise," Higgs said.

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe said the premiers are giving Trudeau constructive advice on how to preserve national unity, not fracture it.

Trudeau has introduced "divisive policies that are impacting our ability to generate wealth in certain areas of this nation. And it's policy that we just won't stand for, and we've seen now six premiers that have stood up and said, 'These are flawed policies,'" Moe told Power & Politics host Vassy Kapelos.
