In this March 21, 2020, file photo, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern holds up a card showing a new alert system for COVID-19 in Wellington, New Zealand. TORONTO -- During a debate with her rival in the New Zealand election campaign, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern admitted to smoking cannabis.
Ardern had previously deferred on the topic, saying "I was once a Mormon and then I wasn't, that's how I'll put that." Ardern said she will only reveal which way she votes on the cannabis referendum after the Oct. 17 election.
Ya so what it’s now like admitting you drank
Who cares
Good for her!
okay and? lmao
Her and 90% of the population 55 and younger
I betcha Canadian (Reform/Alliance) Conservatives would want her thrown in JAIL. right?
So do 1.8 million Canadians.
I admit I have as well (thanks to Trudeau and the liberalisation of pot laws)
And so did 99% of the population of earth.
In other news Putin had a shot of vodka.
Who's the editor here? Fired!
why on earth did you write an article about this. who cares.
“Admits”? Interesting verb choice
So what?
So what.
Literally no one cares.
She’s the best 💁🏻♂️
Me2
Who gives a shit? you do realize pot is as legal as alcohol now in Canada, don’t you? FFS.
Who has not?
Oh no!
“News”?
Why is this even news?
CTVnews please turn in your press passes. You have officially stopped reporting on news.
I like her more and more.
This is another global idiot
And so does literally everyone else!
Soooo? Smoking pot makes you a better politician? If that’s the case, spark it up and pass it around.
Would rather watch her debate in place of what we have available in North America.
Non story. Next.
Good. I wouldn't trust anyone who hasn't 😆
News?
Alright 👍 so whats the big deal hear? Taking a drink or a Advil is that gonna be a headline too!
Just look at her face, a typical junkie.
Same
She gets my vote!
And? So?
OMG, the world will end
Uh. And?
So what? Who cares.
Who hasn't?
Good for her and good for the world.
Was it a kush?!
Oh FFS, in this day and age who cares!! Meanwhile the Excited States of America is imploding
JFC, CTV is lame. The way this headline is written, you’d think she sparked one up DURING the debate. Good for her either way. weedlife
Is it 1994 in New Zealand in some way I wasn't aware of?
The HORROR.
Can't believe this question is even still being asked. Easier to ask who isn't smoking pot.
I'll smoke whatever she's smoking.
And this is news why? 🙄
Why does a Canadian news service care?
Must be a slow news day what with the province being destroyed in front of everyone
Hey CTVnews! The year 1992 just called, and it wants its headline back.
Hurting for stories, CTV?
I admit. I SMOKED POT
Big deal.
Awesome 👍 good for her!
Shame on you for repeating this Bunch of hypocrites!
Um how come CTV is even reporting this in a country where pot is legal?
Meh. Not a story.
So what?
This isn’t news
And I hear she has a poster of Bob Marley.
So? Light up miss PM
Why is this news?
Who cares? Nobody.
Cool!!
I heard she drank canadian beer once too.
Good for her
The horror!
So what?
The absolute scandal!🙄 In reasonable, progressive countries in the 21st century, admitting to not smoking weed is a shocking confession.
Seriously? You are NOT serious journalists. Who cares?
FEEZYDoesIT So New Zealand’s cool mom IS cool.
But if she got drunk at a party some years ago it would not be a story. OMG she smoked pot! Geez
All I can think is, 'Ok boomer'. How is this news? Seriously? CTV, it's a legal product in Canada, why are you reporting this? No one cares! For the record; I'm allergic, I don't, & can't partake, and I don't judge anyone who does.
So?
What an utter hypocrite JacindaArden is. Should have decriminalise it by now. She deserves to be arrested
Good for her. 😎👍. Her honesty would have earned my vote. If I was in NZ.
So what ....
The reason conservatives are so against cannabis is because nobody has ever gotten more conservative by smoking weed.
Of course, medicinally
is so conservative. Think of everything that's going on right now in the world and they choose to publish this. Where are we, the 50s? Canada's right-wing media every body. NO ONE CARES!!!!! DefundCTV cdnpoli cdnmedia
Yah... but.... did she have a glass of wine at supper. Might be breaking news CTV. Really?
🙄
This is not news. Who cares. She’s a great leader!
Gawd I love this leader.
And? She's an effective and well liked leader, maybe more should take her lead
Slow news day? I mean it’s not like the POTUS just gave a big shoutout to white supremacists or anything.
How is this news? How?
Whoopidty ding dong do, someone used medicine what a crime! Is it not legal there?
.. so ?
Big Deal. You People are ridiculous on what you report on.
Who gives a fuck?
CTV is so conservative Who tf cares
I heard she once... get this... stayed out after the street lights came on at night too.
Omg she is human
BREAKING NEWS!!! Well done ! I'm sure this'll get you in the running for a Pulitzer ffs
So did Obama. God knows what trump was on last night.
Full disclosure: I tried it once, Jacinda, & never looked back. In fact, fordnation, Ontario's premier, Douglas DimeBagDoug Ford, is alleged to have actually shaken hands & shared a joke with drug dealers back in the day. & He never looked back either. He's killing 'em now.
She's cooler than I thought!
Cool!!!!
Good for her
drewcaldwell Admits? How about she acknowledged?
And? Whats the story
is this supposed to be click bait?
Who cares.
Who gives a shit.
Gotta be saying something good since she handled COVID better than any other leader in the world.
And?
So what. Did you all get your journalism degrees from the back of a cornflakes box?
Who cares! 🤦♂️
And What shitty journalism. Many people use pot. Who fucking cares
well, yeah...
Maybe that’s what makes her a good PM
Is this the confession box.... cause I drink wine with dinner every night.
The opposition in New Zealand must be desperate to get something on Jacinda Ardern ...
big deal my god give it a rest.
Not really an issue these days.
And?
And?
Good for her!
So? Why is that considered to be news.
Virtually every politician drinks and promotes a neurotoxic substance that destroys lives. ..but enjoyed responsibly by most adults.
Maybe the two 'debaters' from last night should have had some before their debate..Things might have have gone better
Omg no! Not the most dangerous drug known to man kind. Just one marijuana can make you hitler staywoke
Breaking huh....
And this matters why? She's one of the best, if not THE best, leaders in the entire world. She's also a very real and down to earth person. Smoking pot is no different than having a drink (actually it's less harmful), but no one comments on a politician having a beer or wine.
She is the Empress of Planet Earth - it's cool.
🙄
Oh heck. We have a crack head.
I am shocked and outraged. Appalled too. Now do Trump.
Who cares....did she say anything else that is actually important?
Who cares, seriously
Really!!! This is your headline? when there is a very dangerous Racist just across the border, leading the country.
So?
Who tf cares
Maybe i should move the NZ...
What’s your point?
Bet she has been gang banged to
Who the F cares. She’s an amazing leader! Now do real news.
So what
And
Wait, is it 1992 again? Does this type of thing even matter anymore?
And the problem is?
mini_bubbly Who cares? Insignificant facts.
our guy was too stupid to know you have to inhale..
Wow so she should be replaced by an old alcoholic white dude then because that's much better. Got any REAL news to cover? Why don't you investigate the Proud Boys and expose their dangrous links to Canadian politicians instead of this useless fluff.
Hire her!! Lol she seems cool
Who cares? What are her policies and platforms? Grow up CTV News we’re tired of you living in 1950! Get over it.
Who cares!
Along with More than 60% of the Entire World Population. Big fooking Deal. This isnt a problem Down Other either.
Do all nazis smoke pot? Does it numb their conscience to all the horrible things they have done? Aaaaah that's why JustinTrudeau made it legal.
And
So what!!
Whats the big deal?!
So?
Progressive leader who smokes weed? Unfathomable
So?
OMG So what if you are going to base your vote on who smoke pot whenever, get yourself a new hobby. Clearly that whole voting thing is way too complicated for you to understand
If she’s smoking pot then we all should.
That figures.
Omg she's one step away from heroin.😂 whocares
So? It’s really not that big of a deal.
If you socially and morrally accept hard alcohol, beer, wines but not weed you are apart of the problem
Biden outted his son saying he had a crack problem on live TV so why does this matter?
I mean she is a human. 🤷♀️
I bet she also did Booze and hard liquor.
Not with Trudeau?
yeah so what
Just when you thought you couldn't like her any more!
mini_bubbly So this just deepened my crush of her ...
Good for her, in Canada one of our MP’s ate a dog.
Who cars?
Good for her! 😂😂😂 I just love her. 😀
Now that is a politician I can trust lol
Good for her. So do many of us.
Who tf hasn't smoked weed? Who cares.
Omg she admitted smoking pot! Ummm.... Who cares? Really just who cares
And?
owwwwww, 🤦♂️
Surely not then
Oh my ! If she had said she grabs pussy well that would be Presidential then wouldn't it .
Almost makes her Canadian
Isn’t that a badge of honour now for politicians- even if they didn’t...?
Cool.
Who gives a shit! She’s awesome! whatodds
This is not news, are you CTV or TMZ
How is this news?
So what
Not really relevant to anything. What is relevant is that she is a knee jerk dictator.
Who cares
Yeah and I had a beer. Who cares. 🙄
Was it with Froto and Gandalf?
non story
Ok
It's 2020 people!
So essentially, she is the female edition of Justin Trudeau...
cool
Ooooooooo....horrifying..!😏😏
Is she a drama teacher too? 🤔
“Using pot” you goofs make it sound so criminal.. meanwhile every single one of them drink wine🍷
OMG...nooooo....say it isn't so... WHO CARES 🙄
Oh who cares. I suppose the next question was, 'Are you still a virgin?' These questions, and the related news coverage therein are foolish and childish - completely unnecessary.
And......?
She’s being honest and who didn’t do anything that they were not supposed to do in their younger years? By the way marijuana is actually use for treatment of all kind of problems and it work.
So what!
Trudeau did ketamine big deal
Oh boy, this is just terrible. 😱🙄 ,(sarcasm).
Throw the tyrant out, with a bag of weed as a goodbye gift
OMG did she have sex before marriage and drink alcohol too? CTV just can't stand any progressive leader - must try and sully their name, every damn time.
Lol Clinton admitted to smoking pot in college. So what? 😂
Trying to get the younger vote.
So what ? Pretty much every adult has at least once
Oh, hige scandal! Lol....why even bother!
Wow big headline news maybe you should focus on jacindaardern for being an honest politician and her true leadership in combating Covid19 in NewZealand
She’s a socialist. Why is this news?
She’s the best politician this world currently has
Cannabis has great healing effects. Should be legalized!
I love her even more!!😍😍😍😍😍😍
Her and Trudeau have the same qualities they can smoke up behind the portable together.
CTV your news is starting to sound like gossip channel than newsworthy! Who the hell cares if she smoke pot!! Probably I would too to calm my nerves if I had to talk to annoying reporters all day!
That sounds like a good thing
Big fucking deal. Good for her.
Who really cares. She is one of the best leaders in the world. Like no politician ever did something worse then smoking pot... Look at the US.
Is that a good thing or a bad thing, can’t tell these days
Who cares?
What about coffee? Do you have any breaking news on whether she shunned tea for coffee? Grow up media.
Pot bad....... blackface ok!
who care
🙄 Tells me she’s pretty normal
This is news?
So what. Pierre Trudeau admitted that 40 years ago. Today it’s legal in Canada.
This is ridiculous it's only pot . Lol
She smoked weed during the debate? 😜
Who cares.
Good times.
Acclamation
All politicians should be made to smoke pot . Lets see them lie with a straight face then ! 😉🤣🤣
And demented donnie was smoking crack last night before the debate.
Now even love her more
How does this make her any different today? She is an awesome Leader.
Omg...pffft
Just that should be enough to win her all the leftist vote .. 😂
maybe the US guys could learn something, might be more relaxed: 'Jacinda Ardern admits to using cannabis during N.Z. election debate'
How is this even a thing? Coffee is a drug too, as is alcohol. Please stop covering these nonsense topics, and make people think it's important.
Oh no, she once smoked pot... hahahahahaha
Okay, and?
Yes....and 😂
I like her... alot. 🤣
So what?
After the US debate it’s obvious some leaders are smoking a lot worse things. presidentialcrackhead
Our new dictators are so cool, guys!
AND.
She took a huge hit from the bong then locked down NZ.
Seriously ? Are we not in 2020 ? She is one kick a$$ PM for N.Z. so why is this newsworthy?
I don’t care but I hope she gets voted out
I admit it too
Did she inhaled it!?!
Another stupid one just like TRUDUMB
Makes me admire her more. But this is not newsworthy
o big fuckin deal!
No one cares
Good for her .👍
Good for her.
We get it at the Supermarket? While getting Groceries.. In broad daylight.
Omg who cares!
Move on!!! That's not news no one cares
Meanwhile realDonaldTrump was probably on amphetamines last night.
Who cares lol
lol Welcome to Aeotearoa 🌿
Lol
People still care about this sort of thing?
