Trudeau spoke to reporters from Toronto, where he called on Chinese authorities to listen to the protesters.
“We need to see the local authorities listen to the very serious concerns brought forward by Chinese citizens and their concerns around the decisions that the local authorities in Beijing have taken,” he said. Hong Kong has been on edge for more than two months following protests that began in response to a proposed extradition bill, but have since morphed into calls for democratic reform and an investigation into police conduct.
On Monday, protesters descended on the Hong Kong airport, one of the largest in the world, to voice their concerns. The demonstration forced the cancellation of more than 150 flights throughout the day.recently issued a travel advisory for Hong Kong“We continue to be mindful and watchful of protecting Canadian interests and Canadians, specifically in Hong Kong,” Trudeau said.
Canada and China have been in a diplomatic standoff since the arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhouin in Vancouver last December. Days after that arrest, China detained former diplomat Michael Kovrig and businessman Michael Spavor.Hong Kong airport protest shutdown tarnishes business imagePrime Minister Justin Trudeau pauses while at the Parkdale Intercultural Association in Toronto, Monday, Aug. 12, 2019 to announce funding for legal aid in Ontario.
TrudeaMustGo hes the joke
trudeaumustgo
“Doctors are saying my ethics should be located somewhere around here in my brain, but it turns out I don’t have any... brain.” TrudeauMustGo
Really? I would think he’d be “really” concerned about his 5th ethics violation? I could be wrong tho. 🐵🙊🙈
Does he have any 'concern' for the Canadian citizens currently imprisoned in China? Just curious ....
Now when I read news I just assume it's a lie or liberal spin and I'm usually right lol. CTV enquirer fakenews
He is asking for more trouble (trade war escalation).
Trudeau doesn’t want to upset his Chinese overlords that he admirers so dearly. Trudeau just isn’t a leader.
I am sure the Chinese government is worried about Justin's concerns.
Ya funny ctv
Yet says nothing of protests in France which have been going on for 40 weeks.
Pfft. I’m extremely concerned about turdeau’s behavior.
But I thought China’s basic dictatorship was is fave.
cus he has no clue what or where Hong Kong is! Is between AB and Sk, u clown! ask Butts!
1. Let’s worry about our people first...and especially those in a Chinese prison who will never see freedom 2. Thought China was JT’s inspiration?
Only concern I have is I have to see your face for 2 more months
Yeah concerned he won't be able to get away with it until he gets all the guns.
He was shamed into it...
Seriously. Canada’s dropped off the world radar. Except for those taking advantage of us.
At least Harper had balls. What an embarrassment of a PM. 😮👎🏻🤦🏼♀️ TrudeauWillGo
He's concerned for China, not the people of Hong Kong.
So is he concerned because he wants China to take over Hong Kong, given his admiration of Chinese diplomacy, or is he concerned with the safety of the protesters?
Surprised he's not crying , he normally does
But isnt concerned about canadian veterans, our homeless,missing women, immigrants leeching off social supports
What happens in HK is China’s business...he needs to be concerned about the mess he has caused in Ontario specifically Toronto and the GTA
Shouldn't he be worried about where he's moving in October?
I bet! Or was it Japan?
i am sure he will do anyting he does with proper thought etc
He looks like he’s trying to remember what he has to pick up from the store on his way home.. 😂
Trudeau is lucky canadians are not out protesting his corrupt a § §
This is an idiot ,Who adimers China's leader s .what a Duffus.
😳😂😂😂
How about being concerned about your own country and how you can better assist your own countrymen. Conservative
Maybe time to take over Vancouver International Airport
.....:and what can he do about it other than pay lip service to the issue. It’s not as if he has any influence on China, it’s all for domestic consumption. Again he’s all hat and no horns.
He could always work for CTV
Thought he admires China dictatorship
BULLSH*T!!!! TrudeauMustGo
He obviously didn’t know how to deal with Canadian protesters either when hundreds traveled across Canada. He just ignored them and called them racists. What a useless PM.
But this DB actually admires the communist dictatorship
We’re ‘extremely concerned’ with his handling of Canadian Chinese prisoners...along with a long list of other things!
Who cares about what Trudeau said..
I am extremely concerned about Trudeau!
Is that before or after being ' extremely concerned' about the prisoners in China?JustinTrudeau
‘Trudeau 'extremely concerned' with handling of protests in Hong Kong’
Does he know where that is?
Wait. Is that in Japan?
What a hypocrite, he has said nothing about the nine months of protests in France and the brutal tactics used by the Macron government
I’m extremely concerned with his handling of Canada.
yeah because commenting on other countries problems went so well the other times right ?
U think he knows the difference between King Kong an Hong Kong 🇭🇰
No he’s not he’s more concerned about the the votes
trudeauisajoke
This from the very same PM that started here admitted their system Incompetent idiot TrudeauMustGo
And so what is your point CTV ?
Trudeau is a weak, effeminate leader. His “concern” is of no concern to anyone else. Wish we had a strong leader
I'm actually 'extremely concerned' with how Trudeau handles his job. TrudeauMustGo
Trudeau's still trying to find China on a map
Did you folks verify first that he knows where Hong Kong is? And that this involves China? Did he watch Forrest Gump & get confused? He wasn’t talking about ping pong in Japan I hope? Because that makes more sense that he’s concerned about ping pong.
don’t worry sock boy Trumps on it.
Give us a break
Look out! Canada is 'very concerned'.
When will JustinTrudeau say: “We continue to be mindful & watchful of protecting CanadianInterests & Canadians, specifically in Montreal. We certainly call on SPVM to be very careful & very respectful in how it deals with people who have LegitimateConcerns in Montreal.”?
There is at least one Canadian that liked the Chinese system
Odd given that he has openly declared his admiration for Chinas dictatorship
That’s hilarious since he gets China and Japan confused all the time, although, this embarrassing moment was covered up in Canadian media...
HK residents are not 'Chinese citizens'. This is an appalling lack of understanding by the PM.
Me too.
October is...
I don’t think China gives one damn about Trudeau or what he thinks. He can do nothing so he will do nothing
His panties in a knot?
trudeauisajoke
he should go grab his coloring book....that'll help him chill.....
Of course he is! He has said himself he admires Chinas dictatorship! TrudeaMustGo
`🎲🎲' cdnpoli bcpoli
But not concerned with Macrons handling of protests in France....
Just wonder what suggestion he can give
Unity is strength not diversity
canadasvilliageidiot 'Trudeau' an empty mind.
How does he look like he’s got strength to Canadians and still suck up to the Chinese the country he want to be like
Error in the title, should read; “Canadians ‘extremely concerned’ about the handling of Canada by Trudeau”
What a pathetic pant load
That’s hilarious since he gets China and Japan confused all the time, although, this embarrassing moment was covered up in Canadian media...
trying to make sockboy out to be a great world leader fakenews TrudeauMustGo
Trudeau was then overheard asking Butts if he could blame Ford for the mess in China!
Unfortunately his preaching and weird policies, blunders and goofy photo ops have left him with no credibility
Uh oh, the furrowed brow has appeared🙄
Yesterday it was troubling
We probably should just impose some kind of protest tax. Then, we'd naturally ha e fewer of those.
Useless sack of shit won’t and can’t do anything. He can be concerned all day, he is irrelevant on the world stage. Mocked by the world
Just let China be China....and let Canada be Canada....
Odd given he has publicly declared his admiration for Chinas dictatorship
Go get em JT👍 we’re all watching😝
That’s hilarious since he gets China and Japan confused all the time, although, this embarrassing moment was covered up in Canadian media...
Is trudeaumustgo more concerned about protesters than the 2 Canadians detained?
Trudeau has done nothing to deal with our own issues with China. He needs to stay out of their politics instead of constantly pissing off other countries.
TrudeauMustGo votectvlibranospropagandaarmoutoct2019 notAbot
Someone please tell him where Hong Kong is.
TrudeauMustGo
YourMorning WHY? the concern
I’m more ‘extremely concerned ‘ with his handling of Canada
What about Canada you dip 💩 ? Disgraceful and out to lunch😳 somewhere .😡🇨🇦
For God's sake, China is enough of our own personal powder keg already anyway. Just zip it up, JT. Better yet, why don't you exchange self with those prisoners? Get our guys home! I'm sure they'd buy in. Remember, you do admire their 'basic democracy'....😫
Trudeau admires Gina.
That’s good...he’s concerned. Everything is alright then.
Oh noes, he's cOnCeRnEd..........
You should be more concerned with your handlings in Canada - you have made us one big MESS!! Get lost!!!
That's rich. A communist concerned over protests in HK. Sounds like he's trying to suck up to his estranged comrade President Xi who is still disappointed in him. What a joke this guy is. TrudeauMustGo
If I am China, I will simply ignore him. You run a weak charity nation, that’s what you get
Maybe he could donate a few billion to help them figure it out!
Tell him to keep his mouth shut and nose out of it
I’m extremely concerned of how Trudeau is handling his own Canadian people!
Nevermind Hong Kong...think about Canadians in need of help in Canada or Chinese president. You can’t take care of others until you can take care of your own
He'll be apologizing any minute now!
He got burnt before with China on Huawei. Hope he doesn't screw up again.
Failure
Well Canadians are concerned the way Trudeau is handling China - he's done nothing for trade or prisoners release except say he admires them well hiring a minister of feminism and a minister of border who nobody reports to
Is he wearing his 'concerned' socks in protest?
He should be concerned about our country and mind his own business!
Seriously!!!
Why? Because it is an election year in Canada?
Stay in your lane and focus on what’s best for our own country. 🇨🇦
Hope Canadians use their smarts and re-elect him. Keep Canada in the top five best countries. We don’t ever want an egomaniac, or bigoted, xenophobic madman in charge.
No to take away from the seriousness if the situation, but really? Is that what keeps him up at night? I don’t even believe he is that comcerned anyway...
Push to end US sanctions and tariffs and bring all the troops home. TuesdayThoughts
Trudeau cant manage his own country.... he should keep his thoughts to himself.
he should really be more concerned about the optics of how his security and aides manhandle citizens at his town halls and meetings when they ask him questions that he doesn’t want to answer
Laughable
What?......his security roughed up an elderly woman for simply questioning his immigration policies.
He's deeply concerned with what happens in Africa.
I am 'extremely concerned' with handling of Canadian tax dollars by this band of thieves.
That’s hilarious since he gets China and Japan confused all the time, although, this embarrassing moment was covered up in Canadian media...
Really?
But not in France
Oh I bet! Or was it Japan?
I am too. The Chinese Government does not play nice.
