As a Canadian, thank you for the good discussion. You were able to get more direct answers from him than usual. I have to admit: I am still extremely suspicious of him and take everything he says with a grain of salt. The dental plan was not his gov't's idea. It came from the New Democrats who the Liberals need to be in coalition with to function as a house majority. Sad, but not surprised to see that he doesn't give credit where credit is due. There also appear to be a lot of issues with implementing it. His "big" budget fell completely on its face in a number of areas, including support for Canadians with disabilities. So much so that a disability expert advisor resigned. This is also a guy who ran primarily on promises of electorial reform in 2015, winning the votes of young people, to then go on and abandon the whole idea with little to no explanation. That left us in this two party system nightmare in Canada where it is more often than not picking the lesser of the two evils. Like now. I get that the Canadian politeness is refreshing, especially when compared with some of the more hostile political environments elsewhere but do not let that pull the wool over your eyes. Canadians are very aware of when politeness is fake or manipulative which non-Canadians probably do not have a keen eye for. Trudeau is a master at taking a strong stance on moral issues and signalling virtues but then failing to deliver anything concrete. Whether I agree with his stance or not, I am never sure if he is just doing it for the popularity or if he actually cares. He has had countless scandals that he never seems to want to or have to be accountable for, really just highlighting the privelege that he claims to be so woke and aware of. Unfortunately, I could go on. I am sorry to be the bringer of bad news, but Canada is not this utopia under Trudeau, and things really have gotten worse. To the point that I barely recognize my home. Granted, it is not entirely his or his gov't's fault but they do have a responsibility to Canadians to not make it worse... and from my perspective and from that of many Canadians, they have done just that. He loves to claim that Poillievre is using populist tactics and inciting fear. Look, I don't really think the guy will do much better for our country. He might just drive us off the same cliff but with a different car. But, I can say with certainty that he is only tapping into the frustration, fear, and anger that is already there.

Please invite the Canadian Leader of the Opposition Pierre Polievre to get to see both sides regarding what Canada is dealing with. Canadians know to only trust Statistics Canada for an understanding of what is actually happening in our country.

No activist should be allowed to hold a government position. Activists are driven by singular causes, the government is supposed to help everyone regardless of ideology/situation/class. Having activists in government is what is causing our problems today. Look at the mayors who are actively harming their citizens because they are activists only trying to help a certain cause at the expense of everyone, such as in Chicago, NYC, Dolton, LA, etc.. Plus the activist district attorneys that are harming society. Activists should remain out of government and positions of actual authority.

After a decade, there is no logical way of denying that the liberal policies have failed us. I do not think people realize how bad things have gotten in Canada in every single portfolio managed by this government. I wish the interviewer had done some research into Canada and been more informed before this interview, we could have maybe gotten some clarity as to why the PM still pushes policies that have directly made our lives worse.

Its important for your listeners to realize that he is a a drama teacher and an actor..by profession...not a leader, not a great academic, lawyer etc. today.. Canadians poverty levels r the highest they have ever been .. bravo what a performance

I have never hated anyone so deeply in my whole life. I hope he gets investigated after leaving office. 🖕

Trudeau should be in prison.

Son of Castro.

My husband and I just listened to the episode on NPR. We truly enjoyed it and the honesty of The Prime minister Justin Trudeau

Nothing Justin Trudeau says is honest. This a careful conscious strategy by him to gain reputation.

I love a lot of the things that the Liberal government has done. Theyve needed to be done for a very long time and no one had the courage to do them until now. Its very hard to take the middle path in a polarized country....compromize is not an option for some people. So, forge ahead Justin.

@@taurkon He has not. Housing is unaffordable, investment is less than on third of what it used to be, health care is failing such that most people don't have a family doctor, opioid addiction is rampaging through Canadian schools.
