“Everyone deserves a safe and secure workplace, and that includes people who work hard in the Governor General’s team. That is something that I take very seriously,” Trudeau began in French during a prepared statement.
“This is very bad for Justin Trudeau because Julie Payette was his choice. She was not vetted properly, and this once again calls his judgment into question. You cannot repair nor undo this. This is a major stain on the reputation of Justin Trudeau and it’s not good for the Liberal government at all,” Béland said.
Payette said in her resignation statement Thursday that no formal complaints or official grievances were ever filed against her during her tenure. In another series of questions less than 24 hours since Payette’s resignation, reporters asked the prime minister if he felt the need to apologize to Rideau Hall workers who had allegedly suffered through the toxic and verbally abusive work climate for years.
“That is why we consider that we needed to accept the resignation of Julie Payette, given the concerns that were raised. The work that has been done by people working at Rideau Hall over the past years has always been exceptional … and as we saw, sometimes in very difficult situations,” the prime minister continued, stopping short of apologizing.
“We’re going to also look at ways we can strengthen and improve the vetting process for high level appointments,” Trudeau said.
This guy is SO arrogant. Right up there with Trump!
The Dictator does not apologize for his stupidity
Isn’t the Queen's Privy Council for Canada (notably the President & Clerk) accountable as gatekeepers. They guide & advise the PM on such matters. If they allowed the PM to go out on a limb and waffled under pressure—that’s not good for the PM’s protection and taxpayers alike.
Big surprise
Goes to show how much of a man the coward of the cottage is!
He never apologized for anything, even worse things, why start now?
Why should he?
What has he ever taken responsibility?
This goes to show that this newspaper is a Conservatively biased paper.
When has he taken any accountability for anything he's done? He didn't when he was found guilty of an ethics violation so why would he for this? Move on people.
What do you expect from a smug liberal narcissist who’s a pathological liar with a god complex.
Trudeau has never apologized for anything in his life. It’s always someone else’s fault.
Why should he? Wish there could be more transparency, no formal complaint! Hear say, rumours, say anything you want, no accountability. Welcome to social media hiring and firing. Why would anyone aspire to serve the country when asking someone to do their job gets you fired.
His mother should apologize for giving birth to him!
MrStache9 Let me guess. A learning moment for all of us.
Just like it was our problem he wore blackface and the woman he groped experienced it differently. crimeminister
Thank you erinotoole for GG approval! Governor General
Justin won’t appologize for anything ever !! He is above that. In his opinion we are so far below him in status that apologizing to us is far far below his level of dignity.
Or groping - or India - or Agha Khan - or Khadr - or SNC LAV - or WE - or or or JustinTrudeau
not my fault. is becoming his middle name.
What a shock!!
Suprize!! He is Trump 2.0, he can do anything and his fan club cheers on.
So what’s new? He doesn’t take responsibility for anything ever.
Wouldn't expect anything else from him !
Why should he? Its part of a process. Sometimes things don’t work out 100% of the time🤷♂️
Seriously we all know Trudeau is a traitor and it is in his blood
Weird.
Is anyone surprised ? He has never been accountable. I wonder if he will shut down parliament again if we ask to many questions?
Of course, never takes responsibility for anything negative!
MrStache9 He's never had to pay the piper for anything !! Why would he apologize 🤔🤔💩
That’s what he does why are you surprised
Trudeau is a joke. As Harper said, completely not ready to be PM
Give it a rest for Pete's sake. Trudeau made the nomination in good faith. Given the NP supports O'Toole and the Conservatives, and publishes OP Eds by Conrad Black, a Canadian convicted of fraud in the U.S., and pardoned by Trump . . . we get it.
Has he apologized once to Canadians since he's been in office? But he doesn't mind handing out big bucks to Muslim terrorists who destroy American servicemen or a couple of arrogant brothers that laughed at him.DISGRACE!!!!!
What else is new?
Why? He didn’t tell her to be a raging bish
Another day, another firing. Points the finger at everyone but himself. Par for the course.
Why should he?
It was Harper's fault. Come on, don't be daft.
Since 1931 when Canada stopped being a corporation sole/British Colony, there has been no need for a Governor General...a player in political theater
Leadership involves taking responsibility for your mistakes. Why does Trudeau never admit that he is wrong --even during the groping incident? This is not an inclusive leader.
RESPONSIBILITY for poor judgement.. Governor General, SNC scandal & WE scandal hmm three huge issues that we are aware of is more than POOR judgement!
Waiting to see how he blames this on Harper as well....
Our Glorious Leader will NEVER assume responsibility for anything. It’s every one else’s fault. But I guess when you live a spoiled and pampered life, you can get away with it.
The guy is unfit to be our PM.
Mommy for GG, says Justin
Didnt he depended the GG before?
Truedo should elimate that office save tax payer money
As Julie Payette is a good friend of Justin's wife (Sophie), no wonder she got the job...no vetting. Liberal Party cannot be trusted to select the next GG. All Parties should be involved in the vetting.
Well what is new He’s not responsible for the any thing that brings criticism upon him. The Christmas holiday courtesy of some millionaire, the SLN Lavalin, the disastrous India trip, the WE crap, the GG choice, shall I go on ?
He never takes responsibility for anything. A true narcissist.
Of course not. He doesn’t take responsibility for anything. He isn’t a leader at all. Real leaders take responsibility
What else is new?
He lacks judgement
Why should he apologize. He didn't see this coming. Who would. JP has great credentials. Who could know her leadership style?
She should be jailed
So Trudeau circumvented the process and hand picked the astronut for GG and it fell apart, costing us millions of dollars. I am just waiting for him to blame Harper for this. When will Canadian's finally say enough is enough Justin....You Are Fired!
POS gets all pissy when being held accountable. Unfortunately, the media turns a blind eye on what seems like a daily basis.
Well isn’t this a surprise - Trudeau refuses to take responsibility..wow!...shocker! Just like WE scandal, SNC Lav and others. Challenge to Conservatives and NDP - you have the power! Shut down the Trudeau and Liberal Gov - call a Spring Election. Canada needs change now!
He never apologizes for anything he does wrong. He doesn’t think that he does anything wrong.
“Helped” ? Are you suggesting she was in cahoots with another, unnamed culprit ? “Governor General Julie Payette, who resigned Thursday after a report found she helped create a “toxic” work environment at Rideau Hall.”
In all honesty, why should he? He probably had the same amount of information as every other major newspaper. I doubt the national post screamed bloody murder at the time she was nominated. Hes not responsible for her being a bitch.
JustinTrudeau denying all accountability as per usual...
And the sun will rise again. He's never made a mistake in his life according to him. We just experience things differently.
I have to say julie payette is a very intelligent woman!
Please Harper chose on his own without vetting
Not even a maskless at the airport Sowwy?
Is it about the giant space bug show?
cc: mikefarnworthbc
What’s logic for this post ?
Sure, Harper made him do it. What a sleaze ball loser we have for a PM
So arrogant !!!
Well no shit he won’t! He has never taken any responsibility yet for anything he has done wrong so far!
That's weird given that he is Mr. Apology himself. Of course, he doesn't like to apologise for himself, just on behalf of poorly behaved Canadians.
I love the line “We're going to also look at ways we can strengthen and improve the vetting process for high level appointments,” You mean the process that Harper used that you abandoned. dummy TakeSomeResponsibility
He continues to demonstrate to everyone his lack of character, morals, ethics, etc cdnpoli
Not taking responsibility is what Justin does best. Such a weak leader, Canada deserves better than him.
Regular day in Canada
Payette does not deserve to keep her special perks. Why should the tax payers money reward someone who has disgraced our country and displayed such unethical behaviour! Trudeau should stop this injustice.
This is disgraceful. Leaders take ownership of their actions and admit their mistakes. Trudeau?
Probably Harper's fault!!!
Rythmol81 Of course he refuses.... you FAKE NEWS media have made him ‘untouchable’! This is YOUR fault TheRoyGreenShow JustinTrudeau Puglaas steeletalk charlesetgh CBCPolitics
Narcissists are never wrong. Ever.
Whe has he or anyone in that family taken responsibility for anything they have done. Talk about toxic!
anti_bcndp Stunning ; did ANYONE think he would ?!
You may not have noticed but he’s not big on taking responsibility for anything.
H_IslandG Where is my learning opportunity? Hoping to get to the next level.
TrudeauMustGo
Well that's surprising
Rythmol81 What’s new, he takes no responsibility for anything. He no different than tRump.
the National Post and The Star are expecting an apology? This is supposedly news?
How much more Kool*Ade can the lemmings drink?
What could Julie Payette, a Canadian Astronaut, possibly have done wrong to cause such recriminations? As the Head of Canada, couldn't she just fire those that displeased her? Looks like the fix was in. Who is more powerful than the Governor General?
He has no trouble apologizing for Canada about things that happened decades ago but he's just not good at admitting his own mistakes and boy are they piling up since 2015.
It takes a certain degree of humility to admit you messed up and apologize so it's not possible.
He's never done that for anything in his life so why would he start now?
You gotta be kidding, he apologizes for everything else, such big crocodile tears remember...............
Shocking
Of course JustinTrudeau refuses to take responsibility on G.G. he takes no responsibility for anything. Haven't you had enough yet? Time for a Change time to stopTrudeau TrudeauMustGo TrudeauFailedCanada TrudeauWorstPMEver
You guys are so desperate to create another manufactured scandal.
Omg its nit his fault shes terrible
I think that will be the epitaph on his tombstone many years from now. “He refused to take responsibility. “
When has he ever apologized or taken responsibility? What kind of person has those traits? At best a terrible leader. At worst a narcissist. Maybe both.
Has this man ever taken personal accountability for anything? Remember not so long ago he had no idea his friends at WE were waiting for their big payout.
He a coward! Makes me 🤮!!!!!
Why are we letting these criminals tell us what to do? They have people committing suicide under these rules and here he is, trying to be funny. Meanwhile there's blood on his hands.
He's not very bright.
When the PM office vetted her,must’ve seen on her record that she had an assault charge, and that she also killed a pedestrian while driving her car, So with that kind of record how could he in good conscience nominate her to be Governor General🙄did he tell other Party Leaders?
Oh well, moving on.
Of course he doesn’t take responsibility for this appointment. That’s 100% in his lifetime
Never apologies for responsibility or irresponsibility. Her actions mirrow his
MaxontheCoast Does this mean every PM has to apologize for shitty appointments? Because if so I have quite a list going back a couple of decades.
Kind of a concerning pattern emerging with Justin. Refusing to take responsibility. Not the stuff of leaders,to be sure
He's afraid she will do to him what she did to her ex-husband or that poor pedestrian in Maryland.
The stink of this Payette fiasco is all over Trudeau. And instead of apologizing to Canadians for his appalling lack of judgment, he just plows on like nothing happened. I, for one, am growing tired of his repeated failures of leadership and resultant scandals. JustinTrudeau
There was NO vetting processing. Our piece of shit PM appointed her.
The facts are clear he did not use the normal vetting process so one should not be surprised of the outcome. It clearly reflects as a bad choice by someone using bad judgement.
Trudeau abolished the vetting process when he became PM. There was no process in place for vetting Payette. She was purely a “celebrity” candidate that fit Trudeau’s brand: female, accomplished, well known, and a francophone. What a gaff!
Sick that this disgusting woman will receive 150 k pension every year for the rest of her life. 👎
Him mom should apologize for dropping the moron on us.
Another one for his legacy. He sure is one for the history books. Future students will be writing essays s as bout him on his not to be a leader.
It sucks
Trudeau terminated the vetting process that was in place when he became PM. Payette was a “celebrity” candidate that fit Trudeau’s political brand: a well known accomplished francophone woman. What a gaff!
She was crazy. A primadonna! Who would know until you hire them in the position that they're tweaking. How many times did you hire someone, did your checks abd balances and figure out later, WTF - who did I hire?
That and anything else he touches and screws up!
When does this Pm ever take responsibility for anything. Does Payette get $250,000 in pension and travel allowance now? iditotshiringidiots
He’s a duck that’s why
Is there anyone surprised by this statement.
punditclass Has he ever taken any responsibility for any decision he's made since he took control of this country?
Poor dough head doesn't comprehend that he's the one who ignored everything and pushed for her as GG.
why does he always do this? He could just say he made a mistake.Allot better than this
Ahhhhhh the tell tale signs of a true narcissist 🤦♀️
punditclass Wow. And in other surprising news shit stinks.
He’s never apologized for anything. TrudeauCorruption
Just like Trump.
Sounds like this had been an ongoing issue for her, there should have been a better vetting process. The government should have done their due diligence on her and therefor it looks bad on Trudeau. The buck stops with him
Shocking!
Probably, It is a good time to get rid the position of Governor General. Just Trudeau become the first president of Canada . How is it?
Of course it’s Butts fault
Canadians are such whiners. No matter what he, Trudeau, does they will find fault. Guess they want a Harper back in Ottawa. Be sure you really want what you’re wishing for.
What’s wrong with the chump. Just apologize FFS. Own it.
Nepotism
Trudeau has never found a problem he couldn’t blame on somebody else.
Hard to see flaws in someone similar to you when you are also a ‘space cadet’
The stupidest PM ever
What else is new?
Does that surprise anyone?
Butts, Morneau, Payette 🙈🙉🙊
Did we expect anything different?
Please. He has never taken any responsibility. Even when he apologizes it’s all BS
This is his pattern..Not taking responsibility is a character flaw...but hey the world is full of folks( good & bad) unable to accept responsibility for their own actions/ behavior!
Hopefully he’ll take responsibility for the lack of research, development and manufacturing of pharmaceuticals, especially vaccines in CANADA! We are not interested in a Keystone XL or Payette - we want to know about the lack of vaccine manufacture in Canada!
I'm rather more concerned over nazis' affiliation with a certain political party
Nor should he. She turned out to be a jackass.
A politician dodging responsibly for their own decisions, color me astonished!! It doesn't matter which party they're all the same.
As per usual
I don't remember. Are we still waiting for an apology from 'elbowgate'?
What else is new.
Of course he doesn't. He's too much of a self-important, self-righteous TWAT to apologize. Doesn't matter, his apologies are just as fake as he is.
Of course, that's something a competent leader would do.
She seemed like she was a good candidate on paper. Turns out she was absolutely terrible. So terrible she was forced to resign. No big deal.
I’m not a Trudeau fan in the least but I don’t recall anyone complaining at the time he nominated her.
Maybe he knows that no matter what he says, none of it will be good enough for a majority of Canadians If the proper vetting process had been done, her mistreatment of former staffers would have been discovered
I’m so sick of these corrupt politicians not being held accountable for their actions !!!!!
Yeh, he blamed the vetting process today but forgot to say the he was the vetting process ottnews
Of course he does. He’s a fool! He’s failed our country start to finish
