Yesterday, Conservative Lisa Raitt claimed the Prime Minister's upcoming interview on the Stephen Colbert Show would be "dangerous for Canada".

Last night, Stephen Colbert referred to Pierre #Poilievre as "CANADA'S TRUMP"

Sounds like PM Trudeau's interview was "dangerous" for Conservatives, not #Canada.

@tezoatlipoca The Prime Minister remained classy & respectful when Colbert brought up the loyal Opposition. He never mentioned Poilievre's name. No blaming. No name calling. No apple munching. Spoke in complete sentences.

"I've been steering #Canada through some tough times, so it's natural they want to take it out on me" was PM Trudeau's comment to Colbert.

Shame he had to leave to country to get a fair and balanced interview.

I find it discouraging that the Prime Minister of Canada has to go on US television to speak to Canadians directly. From past experience Canada MSM would block, distort, misreport, and mischaracterize his message as part of a newscast or article, or worse still, send it into a dark alley of 'reactive pundits," never to be heard by anyone in its original form.

@gemelliz I'm a fan. He's so level headed, respectful, knowledgeable, and clearly cares about all constituents.... unlike conservatives.

@gemelliz That is some big shoes for #pp_ru_stooge to step into. 6 bankruptcies, 3 wives, and #ConvictedFelon 34X. Republicans have a swamp to sell him too.

For those in #Europe, the funny thing about this is someone else ALREADY campaigned on "being #Canada's #Trump."

His name is #MaximeBernier, and he split from the #ConservativeParty to form the "People's Party of Canada," or #PPC for short.

And by "People's Party," he basically meant #whitenationalists. Not only did campaign workers frequently turn out to be #Nazis or #Cryptobros (at best), but they kicked out the ONE candidate who asked Bernier to disavow white supremacy.
