Despite jarring jobs numbers, Canada, U.S. charting different courses

WASHINGTON -- Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says it's a fundamental principle of life in Canada that no one should have to go to work if they don't feel safe doing so.

Trudeau made the comments today as the country confronted some of the worst unemployment numbers in history -- nearly two million jobs lost last month and an unemployment rate of 13 per cent. The jobs data in the United States was even more breathtaking: the Labor Department reported more than 20 million people lost work in April, pushing the jobless rate to 14.7 per cent.And yet the clamour in the U.S. to reopen the economy has been muted north of the border, a difference Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland attributes to "smart" and "sensible" Canadians who understand the importance of a cautious, careful approach.

Freeland says the latest jobs numbers show the magnitude of the sacrifice Canadians have made so far, and the importance of making sure that sacrifice wasn't in vain. At the White House, meanwhile, press secretary Kayleigh McEnany is crediting President Donald Trump with creating what she calls the "hottest economy in modern history," a feat he intends to repeat.

Canadian's please watch this! The Canadian Media lied to you for 4 Years about a Russian Hoax. We deserve an apology! But don't expect one from them.

Of course they are! Ones the World's sole SUPERPOWER and the other is Zero Influence and Pathetically Powerless Canada!!

Good. Let’s hope we keeptheborderclosed for a long time. JustinTrudeau we don’t want crazies in our country.

Yes Trudeau has no plan just thread water and waste money and have zero money for Stimulus, hell he even admits he’s not working on a plan !!!

You’re right CTV Trudeau is doing terrible.

Leave it to brain dead Trudeau to fiddle fu*k around with the economy. But then again all liberals tend to be brain dead. But he governs as well as Maggie Trudeau’s use of birth control 🤣🤣🤣

Is there part of this article missing? Or is that it?

Yes the Low IQ Leftist would suck in the stupidity of this article. If they had half a brain they would also know that the US has ten times the population. So as an example we have over 3 million unemployed times by 10=30 million unemployed compared to 20 million! Facts folks!

You just figured that out , Trump cares about his country, Justin Trudeau cares about himself, his corrupt agenda , and the puppet masters pulling the strings

Canada is done !

One the left we have a flunky school teacher on the right a experienced business man. I'll take experience anyday.

Pls do not ever compare our two countries. I am Canadian proud and true. Do not want any part of the USA. Both Federal and Provincal govn't are doing their part fighting this pandemic. Today will not be apart of tomorrow. Wake up ppl.

😠😠😠Reminder that China - Identified coronavirus in Nov., ordered lab to destroy samples, stop testing - Lied about virus containment so they could hoard supplies - Refused CDC help - Jailed & ultimately killed whistleblower Dr. Li Wenliang ChineseVirus

The planet has entered a Great Depression. Virus is a Sr Home Long Term Care crisis. Not a single person under the age of 19 has died. Flu killed more people March April May 2019 then has Cv Open the country so people can get prepared.

The USA under Trump is going to leave Trudeau and Canada in the dust.

Canada is now a second world country. Govt money is hiding this for the next 6-8 months then all hell will break lose. Canada must reopen. Virus numbers prove this is a Sr Nursing Home crisis Open up and get saving and prepared

Cause Canada is ridiculous and full of brain dead liberals who listen to their corrupt leader speak moistly while licking China’s hole.

Proud and HAPPY Canadian.

Trudy sitting there like a little schoolboy while Trump is manspreading all over the place. LOL!

Trudeau wants a “lazy”socialist country Trump want to roar the economic engine. I’ll take the latter!

Maybe after seeing some of the White House starting to get infected including his own valet and the wife of his far-right nationalist advisor Stephen Miller, maybe Trump would wake up and stop minimizing the virus which is still growing in the States.

Yeah. America will be fine. We have no manufacturing or resource development. We are boned.

This is such a crap story, you do realize the Governors have the ultimate decision when to open each state, just like Premiers do with provinces.

This is ridiculous cafreeland and CanadianPM should be ashamed of themselves for creating a welfare state! NOT FIT TO BE IN POWER! Watch all of this change when realDonaldTrump puta the screws to them and they comply because Trump is a real leader unlike our show in Ottawa!

Canada exports 80 percent of its production to the USA If Canadian production exports are not available due to lockdown Mexico will step in or USA will Produce within.

Well.. the usa is near ruin, we should be going the other direction

Canada is off a steep cliff, thanks to that effeminate creature on the left

Trump wants the USA to get back to work. Trudeau want everyone to be government dependent.

Trudeau is by far the most useless and corrupt PM in Canadian history. He should be jailed.

Is this why Trudeau doesn't leave the steps of Rideau Cottage? He doesn't feel safe?

Into Great Depression v2.0!

Fisheries in Atlantic Canada anxious as they await federal aid packageFederal Fisheries Minister Bernadette Jordan has said the announcement of an aid package is ‘days away,’ and it would follow a $62.5-million package that was announced last month to help fish and seafood processors protect workers from COVID-19 Lobster fisherman had the best couple of years in history . China sales were booming . Locals had to pay $ 9 a pound . A new truck for everyone . Do what everyone else does and save a few bucks for a down year . I never saw them give money back in good years or locals a break . I thought the aide package was to help the fisheries by helping to clean up the raw sewer dumps on the St Sewer Seaway- sort of like some money to Alberta to cleanup dead wells- you know, helping the environment- not to spend at will when have they not wanted a handout ?
