In times of crisis in Canada, there are always pundits and commentators available to tell us how well our governments are faring, and how silly it would be to doubt them. All those anti-crisis measures other countries are pursuing, but we aren’t? They are overreacting. And when we wind up pursuing those same measures a few days later, and it’s very difficult to understand why it wouldn’t have been better to pursue them earlier? Ah, well, this is what the experts have advised.
This may be true. But federal advice to get our asses home predated that, as did recommendations from various other Canadian jurisdictions — from the province of Alberta to the City of Toronto — to self-quarantine for 14 days upon return.
Things had vastly improved by Monday afternoon, when the right ministers — among them Blair, Patty Hajdu , Marc Garneau and Chrystia Freeland — put on a reasonably professional performance explaining and defending that significant announcement: most notably, closing Canadian borders to foreigners.

NP! You talk such shite!!!
Only morons thought Trudeau had any credibility
They have no credibility
Swiftie01 What credibility now they are still letting illegals in to the country
Our government is doing a great job. How about going after Kenney and his expensive war room instead?
Liberal has done nothing except damage in everything.
Kinda like the sh!t smeared piece of TP that is the NP.
Nah it ain’t
Who thinks they still have credibility at this point? Proven a liar during the SNC scandals
I think it's NP's credibility, hanging by a paperclip.
Like how you lost yours?
No it’s not. That thread broke long ago.
Hanging by a thread? Well and truely flushed down the sewer years ago!
a thread? absolutely 0
What? I didn't vote Liberal but I'd rather them than the crazy Conservatives. We are in the midst of a pandemic, pull together! Trudeau is doing as well as can be expected.
Still 'by a thread', huh? Bewildering! Maybe spider web thin thread.
Close the border to illegals. Send them back! CloseRoxhamRoad
Credibility? Liberals, seriously? The thread is long gone, hopefully so is their party by the end of this.
No...
robmarles3 Like I am going to listen to the National Post talk about credibility...
cselley and what about last month's recommendation to eat at restaurants? How am I supposed to support marginalized covid struck nations like Italy if I can't plop myself down at Pizza Ailo for photo ops?
Ahhhhh partisan nonsense during a world-wide crisis. What’s next “Peter McKay and Donald Trump Collude to Cure Coronavirus”
joe_warmington CloseRoxhamPembina 2 holes in Canada/US border Pembina/Emerson, Manitoba/North Dakota & Roxham Rd at Quebec/NY border. Illegals rejected flooding Canada Trudeau refuses to close these. These people get 20 yrs. free med/dent/hotel, 50k each. No vetting.
If I run out of TP, I will be sure to stock up on your paper.
Completely reactionary and tardy to say the least on all accounts! This liberal party doesn't feel any need to do their job like the end is near for them. Time to call an election and rid Canada of the liberal virus!
The only credibility hanging by a thread is your own.... Hopefully yours will be one of the first media others that's fine by the time this is over..... Fingers crossed
Trudeau and his virtue signalling Liberals have not had any credibility since Justin played Mr Dressup in India and broke the law with his trip to billionaire island. cdnpoli
So is your journalistic integrity.
If it's written by a CPC hack who churns out copy for an American-owned conservative rag it must be true 🤣
The thread has evaporated they are going down the toilet!
They have and have never had, any credibility. Cannot be trusted.
Hilarious to state there is any credibility left at all.
You are implying that they had credibility before the Coronavirus crisis they have helped create and worsen within the borders of Canada.
I would correct your statement 'the Liberals credibility is hanging by a thread' , the thread is broken they have no credibility with this crisis. We are lucky to have Provinces that are stepping up to the plate with decisions.
Dixie4Alberta What credibility? None left after JustinTrudeau lied to Canadians about securing borders Trudeau said we all had to help the over loaded health care system while letting illegal immigration to continue. TrudeauIsNotFitForOffice
Didn't realize they had any left 😀 That's being very generous in eluding too they had some to start with ......
Ridiculous. Trudeau has served us well on this. After some serious stumbles, Ford is stepping up too.
Very true. They’re playing hangman it’s the lives of Canadians.
In whose mind
National post should close all its papers and offices permanently, being critical is one thing but when u keep proding just for the fuck of it the bull should turn and shut u up but Canada is lucky we have a levrlheaded PM and not a Cons assholes leading us thru this crisis !!!
Unbelievable. Just STF up National (sic) Post.
On the Covid-19 crisis, PostMedia’s credibility is hanging by a thread. Oh wait, it was gone a long time ago.
Is it me ...but doesn't she look like Lilly ?
More important things than their credibility to write on.
Tjat 5hread broke a week ago
What credibility?
We are so far beyond that. We are just holding on to the liberals following the lead of other global leaders and finding our way through this shit show.
What credibility?
390rocket A thin thread.
Your a bit late, the thread broke 2 weeks ago.
No credibility here😡🇨🇦
This cabinet is inept. They won't allow Canadians to fly back home if they have a temp but if you cross the border illegally, you will get tested and if positive, get treatment. To Whom does this make sense? JustinTrudeau cafreeland BillBlair CTVNews City_tv CBCAlerts
If anything, the opposite is true. This also includes the rest of Canada's politicians of all politicall stripes.
F Off. This is a national crisis. Be a patriot for a change.
By a thread? Good lord that snapped long ago
cafreeland JustinTrudeau The total about face of Minister Hajdu about borders confirms the ineptness of this PM / cabinet in handling this crisis. We lost invaluable weeks while they were lying to us. Luckily, the provinces have stepped up w tough decisions to protect Canadians
To many Canadians this government has never shown real ability to govern effectively. Unfortunately this is being hammered home to many others at the worst possible time. This government needs to get its act together for everyone’s sake.
The credibility of the with their unending criticism of federal government is hanging on a much thinner thread that of cdngov & libs. fakenews conservativelies
Sue73157747 Liberal credibility was hanging by a thread before the virus. TrudeauMustGo
Are you really this stupid?
Disgraceful, divisive ranting😡 Not a political issue😡 The world is in crisis, and our PM is doing an admirable job thru delegation to a qualified team, consensus with all provinces. STOP the stupid, petty, personal comments🆘🆘🆘🆘
Better them than the cons
Silly Selly
Liberals depend on idiots to vote for them ...bubble gum people that call in sick 3 of every 5 days and expect full wages .. and teachers
Its solid with 33 % of Canadians . We had a truck driver in the refinery today picking up.. He asked ' you guys make gasoline-- why is it so cheap now ?. These same people vote too.!!
shit spoon
That thread broke long ago. Pinokkioitis is rampant in the over liberated liberal government.
what thread? that there's not all out anarchy yet?
Trudeau's response to COVID-19 is pretty average. Messaging and communication is very good, but execution is poor. He will never be a rock in time of crisis.
Ah, the National Pest. Ever ready to stir the pot for no actual good reason. Y'all may not have noticed there, but it's a spreading pandemic and what was good advice yesterday is changed today. Maybe even later in the SAME day. Buy a (better) paper, cselley
They royally placed us ALL in danger.
The US hasn't been much better. The virus has proven that most Western Countries are NOT prepared for any kind of major crisis. We've been overwhelmed by a strong flu. It's pathetic. The Neo-Liberal rhetoric of 'the market will right itself' has failed us. Again.
So tell me... If everything had been dumped on us at once, wouldn't the country have been just one giant riot? Do what the sensible do: Help, don't denigrate.
Well, let's *all* listen to this guy called 'Chris Selley' cuz he must know what he's talking about, amiright?
Remember this? I guess the whole cabinet did this when they were kids.👇🏾
“...hanging by a thread” Aren’t you generous.
Great take!!
It's a pandemic and world crisis. Your cynicism is DISGUSTING!
Conrad Black assistant OP-ed contributor....
Has been for weeks!
Does Chris Selly think he could do better? Imagine being the guy standing around criticizing his govt. on the national stage in the middle of an emergency. How embarrassing. I’m not a fan of Trudeau and I didn’t vote for him, but this is not the time. You’re an idiot, Chris.
Our PM Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Govt are doing excellently. lies again. Better than your lies. Even my friends in the US told me we are lucky to have our PM compared to the lies, incompetence and indifference of their US President. Shut up if you nothing to contribute.
Nope.
Functionally, the Liberals only need more credibility than the Conservatives... they'll be ok.
More right-wing, anti-Liberal bullshit from the NP. Canada is miles ahead of almost every other country on this. But the NP tries to politicize it. Meanwhile Conservatives in Ontario floundered like a dying fish on the dock before taking any meaningful action. covid19Canada
good to know the post is around if i run out of tp.
They are all incompetent clowns but we have to listen to them, that’s who Toronto and Atlantic Canada wanted to lead us in troubled times.
You Conservatives only hope the Libs fail, this , in a crisis is something I will never understand .. thank goodness for PM Trudeau and Libéral caucus , Dr Tam and all who work for a positive outcome .
Doing way better than Trumps problems.
I am not a liberal fan per say or any political fan at all but I think JustinTrudeau is doing a good job and it's not so black and white as people thing.
Ya but. The liberals can control climate through taxation.
Credibility is shredded. They are liars and Canadians should be calling for their arrest and prosecution in the light of their inaction. But the rcmpgrcpolice are just lackeys now and don’t actually do their job and enforce the law. trudeaunotfitforiffice
That thread snapped a while ago! Still allowing illegals to enter our country via RoxhamRoad is irresponsible and puts Canadians at risk. Doing nothing to stop these flights since January, is incompetence! We need a full purge of the federal government, and we need it now!
Too little, Too LATE! Blood on their HANDS!!!
Who died and made you leader of the opposition?
Shelley is a schill for a foreign funded rag.
Are they closing the illegal border crossings allowing migrants every day!!
Our government is doing a great job. You are not. Please be silent.
National Post should suspend it's endless Liberal crying for 2 weeks. This is a crisis.
They’re doing exactly what they should be doing
Anyone got a pair of scissors I could use?
Consider the source. PM Trudeau could single-handily find the vaccine to cure this virus and the NP would still be whining that he didn't do it last week.
The never had any credibility and a an MSN you should really be asking much tougher questions and putting these liberals in the hot seat.
Typical NP con crap! Govt is doing exactly as they should and there credibility with this voter has never been higher.
lambert_pp YEP
Well that didn’t go well for the NP! Read the room - not gaining any fans with that. Even experts say differently! And LyingScheer would have us worse off! Thankfully Canadians saw through Scheer’s lies!
He only has credibility with liberal voters. Trudeau could be caught drowning kittens and this wouldn't change.
Not quite sure how this helps the current situation. This is about Canadians supporting Canadians.
The Liberals have credibility? During this crisis it seems that every time a federal minister opened their mouth a lie fell out....
I wasn't aware they had any credibility...
Please like they have ANY period
Scissors? Anyone?
Trudeau and the federal gov'ts response has been lauded by the WHO as well as doctors & experts at home and abroad. But sure, National Post, their credibility is 'hanging by a thread'. Good grief.
So says the National Post, unfairly and prejudicially Why? How about reporting the news rather than bashing the Prime Minister when airport communications are weak or when reporters unfairly criticize tired staffers exiting a meeting Sun nite. How does that put PM on precipice?
They should be ashamed-- they've done little for vulnerable populations during this time, mental health & addiction clinics are crowded w/ frustrated patients who's doctors are hiding in safety.. the homeless, the mentally ill-- they've literally just left those people to die.
The Liberals are doing amazing work -a 100 year pandemic that has caught the entire world. Publishing this partisan filth during a pandemic should be illegal as threat to life. Con rags are bereft of a shred of human decency. Thank you Prime Minister Justin Trudeau! 💪🇨🇦🙏👏
Hanging by the thread?There is no leadership. Premiers are the ones stepping up. Trudeau has no idea how to step up. He never had to and he doesn’t have it in him to step up.
All because it was “racist” when Trump closed the borders. They didn’t want to do the same thing but now have no choice. They are pathetic.
The straw that broke their “credibility” back should have been long before this...SNC, Norman, ethics violations, obstruction of justice, illegal immigration, rail blockades...
This govt was totally unprepared for a crisis or economic downturn. Scheer constantly criticized the Trudeau govt for not having realistic economic numbers. Now the worse has come to pass and the cupboards are bare. Trudeau is just not ready for leadership
A reasonable critique. A bit over-dramatic but reasonable.
Only the NP would have such a dismal heading. Fact: Trudeau has been congratulated for his handling of this crisis by everyone who is important and knowledgable during this crisis.
As opposed to Kenney who’s gutting healthcare during a pandemic who you keep praising right That shows how reliable you are! Coronavirustoronto
Wait until this inept govt has to deal with the economic mess we are in.....
By a thread...about as strong as a spider web, but a thread nonetheless.
Nope. National Post credibility already toast, and this headline is an example why.
Liberals credibility was gone before COVID. You don’t even need to count the ways...just go back to the latest blunder with pipelines and lawless blockaids. TrudeauNotFitForOffice trudeaubriberytour2020 liberalincompetence
They only ever had credibility with the mouth breathing sycophants that voted for them due to brainwashing by Canadian propaganda media.
jennifer_cirka GordonGChang The disease is caused by a virus. The virus came from China. There is, consequently, nothing wrong with calling it the 'ChineseVirus.' After all, Confucius believed in the 'rectification of names,' in other words, calling things properly. ChinaVirus
They have been governing with lies and corruption for 4.5 years. They were now caught red handed with the lies about screening at airports and entries into Canada. Heh the still have Roxham road open for business with over 50 illegals coming in daily.
The state of journalism is hanging by a thread, NP is worst offender. cdnpoli
A broken clock shows the correct time twice a day. Liberals are destroyers.
By a thread...they have no creditibily period. They lied about screening, they lied about Roxham Road...our borders are not closed.
This is absolute garbage.
the thread broke long ago
Take the cat box liner you write for & fuck off to the US or UK.
Still politicizing a pandemic. You disgust me.
When did the liberals have credibility? I missed that moment in time, if there was one.
Beyond disgusting PostMedia outlets.
For anybody that was paying attention, the liberals never had any credibility or morals for that fact. While Rome burns.
Dithering for so long has very likely made the situation worse. And having that grinning bobble head gang make that non announcement on Sunday did nothing to instil confidence in this government.
Hanging by a thread ? Dude, it crashed to the floor and splattered all over the place a long time back...
I would not be surprised to see Liberal politicians hanging from light posts after their indecision and incompetence has led to tens of thousands of loved ones dying.
GFY.
I’ve been rather impressed with JustinTrudeau so far through the beginning of the COVIDCanada crisis. His calm leadership has been reassuring and I’m relieved the alternative isn’t in charge during these precarious times.
It’s past time to stop these divisive tactics. It’s petty, childish and actually dangerous. Love him or hate him if you want; that doesn’t change the fact that Trudeau is the PM. Get behind him now, and support your country.
J.T the goof has got to go!!!
Say Hi to the Koch brothers oh i mean brother for me! Just 1 to go. LULZ
This is poison. National Post this was irresponsible to print. While most have stepped up their game, this paper continues to treat the issue like a partisan game replete with cheap pot-shots and uninformed 'op-ed'.
Way to go. Trying to cause division when we need unity. The government is working as hard as it can to deal with a rapidly changing situation. All I can say if I’m glad we have the Liberals in charge not the Cons. You really think Scheer would be doing better?
It’s a miracle! Even the media is starting to see the incompetence and actually report on it. CBC..... it’s your turn.
What credibility?
Turn off Fox News. Our government is doing an amazing job.
In Alberta they are firing nurses and doctors don't know how much they are getting paid two weeks from now. Postmedia is a cancer.
I was not aware there ever was any credibility to begin with
Our government has listened to the experts, had talks with the other G7 governments, has kept open communications, changed the course of actions as quickly as needed. The government has done a great job so far.
Do better. This is BS.
Now do provincial leaders not shutting down provinces earlier to keep us and our workers safe?
Shut up with this politicizing virus and using it to decide people. You are shameless! Situations like this call for unity not for playing American's politicians
I think that thread has been cut.
They are so scary with the brain dead idiology
flattenthecurve doesn't change the area under the curve. It will go out a long way past March 31st
Athena1944 The Sunday debacle alone shook confidence to the roots. Said nothing, did nothing, save the Joly bobblehead and smirk.
More BS by the NP.
The federal govt is doing a great job as noted by the WHO and many other experts. The foreign owned Post on the other hand, lost all its credibility years ago.
Cue the Trudeau haters.
The only credibility that is hanging here is that of Chris Shelley and the American Conservative owned 'Newspaper' the . Take it for what it's worth, the same company that owns the National Post also owns the National Enquirer, another supermarket tabloid. cdnmedia
He did nothing, it escalated. He should resign.
The Trudeau Legacy he’s leaving behind Canada Burnt to the ground
Lol thread what thread liberal credibility was gone way before covid-19.
Trudeau and his Liberal henchpeople have had no credibility for a long time
jimmygotyme Canadians would also not want conservatives who would leave canadians on their own
Further evidence why one of my best moves was to cancel my subscription to this newspaper.
The Liberals lied about advanced screening occurring at all airports. We are in a pandemic, government is lying about the measures they have in place and media refuses to point out, critique or even acknowledge these lies took place.
The government needs to do their job with or without announcements. PMJT wants to be the face of announcements but truly just needs to tell Canadians to not panic & binge buy toiletries. Could he please ditch the Shakespearean soliloquies from a bad B-movie trailer voice over.
It’s not hanging at all. It dropped a long long time ago.
Most likely that closing bars/dance clubs last week was an even better idea yet no one clamored for that. Clubs are not as good a metaphor for 'invading' hordes/plagues. Also clubs are under cities so... Airport strategy announced last week suggests Feds were prepping for this
The clusterfudge at airports is a perfect example of multiple government departments and agencies failing to cooperate, engaging in turf wars, playing 'not in my job description', and just generally being dolts.
This paper is....
rexglacer Not closing the border to Americans (truck drivers)is a given.We need supplies. Food. Gov't trying to assure no food, drugs shortages. But empty shelves world wide. Corona just brought it to light. And it's not just because they can't put it on shelves fast enough Not reassuring
That thread snapped when Truscumbag left Roxham Road open
Again with the fearmongering ... the NP is nothing short of irresponsible to stoke fears that the Liberals aren’t doing enough! Pandemics bring out the best or the worst in people. Apparently it brings out the worst in this author!
Is anyone ACTUALLY looking to Ottawa for leadership in all this? I thought we were beyond that point. I mean, if smugface is your solace in all this, we’re already in trouble.
After the Trump call seems Trudeau did a 180 on borders. Wonder if he got a stern talking to?
rexglacer When did they have any credibility to begin with?
rexglacer That thread broke a couple of years ago
the virus is a smokescreen for a worldwide globalist totalitarianism exercise...how far will you let them go with taking your freedom?
This is ridiculous! Whose side are you on, anyway?
It's not about credibility anymore. That's long gone. It's about the degree of negligence now.
Telling us everything you believe the government is doing wrong is not the best way to get people to follow the good advice government provides, like social distancing. Try being more responsible.
NP should STFU
Credibility? JustinTrudeau and his team have no credibility
