[@marshferguson4737]

You seriously brought in a liberal to answer this vassy? Common wheres the competition?

[@Joshua-zw7jl]

6 years to cross your t's and dot your i's is absurd. Anyone in the real world would have been fired for taking such a long time to do their job. Lives were lost because of this. Shameful.

[@richardgibbins5612]

Yup. Its political

[@JasonBelliveau]

this should have been done 6 years ago. shameful.

[@MrFelix002]

took 9 years only !

[@silverdew5747]

They are saving it so they have something to do when their polls goes down, like that's going to work.

[@johnbronzan7716]

The liberals must be terrified of losing the next election lol

[@swong9994]

Who is this dude?????

[@ralphbadgley6617]

LeBlanc looks like he is an alcoholic 😅

[@joycemclean9661]

I wonder if Blair, O’Regan and Dizzy Lizzy are part of his booze group. 😅😅😅😅😅

[@bloodaxe3578]

This is purely political. Full stop.

[@JohnAnderson-sq8lt]

St, Pauls is a Jewish area, looking for votes?

[@angus7278]

Votes aren’t a vital as funding…

[@donnarocha4043]

Its not going to help , to little to late think that's the saying 🤔

[@theloniousm4337]

Its actually insulting that they would slow walk this and then list IRGC one week before a key election.

[@hammerhead2184]

100% these weasels why they did this.

[@NotLeftarded1]

Exactly votes and money it's a very affluent area.

[@cheebsthegreen1330]

Looks like someone in the liberal gov didn't get their kickback

[@brendabrinkmanpasichnyk3500]

Crossed your t's🤣 For 8 years?

[@CraigChamberlain-t2d]

Vassy, question: how many times over the years has the Trudeau government been asked about this in the House?

[@sjappiyah4071]

Too little too late. Pierre called you out on this a year ago in parliament and you dodged around the question Trudeau ! We don’t buy your excuses liberals

[@luketarplin]

Why did it take so long? Corruption!

[@thegreatdominion949]

St Paul's by-election too close for comfort for the Liberals?

[@neilmackinnon5573]

and the Libs lost the seat anyway! gotta love it!

[@andrewbaldwin4454]

You're not the Opposition critic for anything, Vassy. Why didn't you bother to interview Michael Chong or another Opposition critic about this?

[@CraigChamberlain-t2d]

Canadians are lucky to have Vassy.

[@andrewbaldwin4454]

@@CraigChamberlain-t2d Yes and no. I will never forget her interview with Andrew Scheer, when he gave her an excellent summary of how the Bank of Canada's big money supply increase to finance Team Justin's spending after the COVID recession led to the highest inflation we have had in 40 years. She replied that what Scheer was saying just wasn't factual. It was all those supply chain problems causing the inflation. Unbelievable!

[@theloniousm4337]

Pointless having a Liberal speak to this.

[@mikeneugebauer3900]

Hmmmm and now we will give them 8 billions dollars just cause….

[@robertraynault2822]

So how much Tax Payer money was Wasted on trying to make this happen? even after Many Many Many other countrys have already done this and waiting this long? 6 years? what a joke.

[@mkadi70]

So why now? why not when those actions took place? the plane was 4 years ago...the human rights abuses took place several years ago...so why now?

[@markvilleneuve5537]

Only took 9 years...

[@dwayne1698]

six years of consulting fees

[@VandaleighIndustrial]

For 6 years they "consulted" with high priced lawyers?? Why am I not surprised?

[@BrewskiBarbarian]

Uh oh, the Libs just lost their university encampment voter base.

[@kanuduh5234]

How can governance get any worse under the current PMO? This is insanity!

[@normkeller2405]

Well, it appears that the voters will elect another Liberal in Toronto. What does that say? I can't even speculate as to the motivation of that riding.

[@AbeySampson-ow8pz]

Shame on Leblanc

[@finnmcginn9931]

LeDrunk

[@vicbrown-t6h]

Clown show.

[@Anklebreaker9]

I think we all know why they are doing it now lol. As a syrian where was this condemnation when the IRGC was destroying syria?

[@donnarocha4043]

Shameful, took way to long, Pierre Poilievre definitely has my vote i love common sense, I love Canada 🇨🇦 ❤

[@AbeySampson-ow8pz]

Another Liberal liar on Vassy show

[@saurabhsinghal102]

Finally JT is listening to what Pierre has been saying for years. Next organization are Hamas and Galistani's

[@CraigChamberlain-t2d]

Trudeau apologist. Gross.

[@medad71]

why now,too little too late, you need vots

[@jmcb3411]

They don't care justice, or what is right or wrong. Everything is political calculation. Classic Lib way of doing things.

[@janski1661]

Hhhhmmmm there a byelection in a heavy populated jewish area in Toronto. Coincidence? I think not.

[@Samuel_Gerner698]

looks like a super awkward exchange between Vassy and the respondent. Vassy is breathing pathetic-ism at him.

[@Stoich827]

Trudeau's brother's wife is Iranian

[@michaelleonard971]

Trudeau only cares about saving his ass.....not even family matters to that narcissist

[@mishuk5043]

Ah...that's the reason this took so long...

[@HaydenG-gw1yo]

But do you keep in mind alot of Iranians oppose their regime. All the anti-Izlamist and anti-Izlamonazi posts in the internet are in Persian.

[@michaelbooth2402]

The Minister of public saftey had to take his time and he was very very busy with other cases.

[@lsones7588]

How about ham as?

[@angus7278]

As if the resistance cares what Trudeau thinks. 😂

[@richardgibbins5612]

Green eggs and ham ass

[@godfreydemarco4310]

6 years to declare a terror group, 6 days to invoke the Emergency Act n truckers honking horns. Got it!

[@nasrani9936]

Never forget the 10.5 million.

[@joancowan9139]

6 yrs is to long i think !! When its serious in canada 😮

[@syedaliabidi1346]

Wow just few days before by-election in a Jewish riding...how convenient for Trudeau to win the riding and survive rest of the tenure as PM and not step down and fool his caucus

[@wadeross6311]

Why are you asking a Liberal on Liberal corruption?……this isn’t the way of seeking the truth. This is a way of giving a corrupt party a platform. Very disappointing.

[@yvettedagenais4805]

Really vassy come Pierre been saying this for years .why haven't you brought in trudump or Pierre in for questions

[@senthilkrishnan1273]

FJT

[@IREFUSE9]

Vassy for PM

[@jeffstewart4162]

Little late to the party guys lol

[@suzy6744]

ALI NEEDS VOTES

[@loishirst7165]

Political points

[@drumminghands6356]

Trudeau has to stick his big nose into everything!😮

[@nannysfolly]

Great. How about the pro Hamas protesters?

[@glennfranz9929]

😢 you don't know the reality

[@k-dude4514]

So when the terrorists brought down a plane with Canadians years ago you didn’t think that was the time?

[@johnzylstra6373]

Last ditch effort to retain the St. Paul's riding for Leslie church.

[@MANUELALEXANDRE-ri1zk]

He has no ideia what’s is doing otherwise should have taken action years ago

[@jjjjjjjjj1338]

Need the votes of the Jewish community in the Monday vote.

[@Rob-bq1yn]

I guess we have to wait 6yrs for the IDF to get on the list!

[@roberttucker4196]

Oh come on it has to be Harpers fault !

[@dianechurcher6942]

They only did it now as a political ploy

[@TheRaidoRune]

It'll be tit for tat 😢

[@thornil2231]

And what about Israel terror state?

[@ronr.4146]

What territory state. Oh, you mean Gaza. Gaza not part of Israel for years.

[@samjangazema9267]

Make Isreal also same listIt is wrong and deceitful for politicians of countries that cause genocide and support occupation and genocide by any means to accuse the countries that stand against genocide and defend oppressed peoples.🙈🙉🙊

[@kambiz7556]

An Iranian here, thank you Canada.

[@lornelemaire2364]

The liberat coalition wanted to wait as long as possible and we're hoping the Conservatives would have forgotten about it. These idiots should have implicated this 6 years ago. Pathetic.

[@shanewakeford3365]

TLk canade you pric

[@mishuk5043]

Great questions! Medhi Hassan would cheer you on!!
