SHARE OTTAWA -- The federal government has put in place a national leadership contingency plan in place, should Prime Minister Justin Trudeau become unable to fulfill his duties.

If that major and unprecedented moment in Canadian politics occurs, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland would become Canada’s acting prime minister.made on March 13, the day that Trudeau’s office announced that his wife Sophie had tested positive for COVID-19.

“In the event that the Prime Minister is unable to perform the functions of his office,” a threshold left undefined, Freeland would take charge, reads the order issued by the Privy Council Office. Following Freeland, the next five ministers in line are based on seniority: Veterans Affairs Minister Lawrence MacAulay; Indigenous Services Minister Carolyn Bennett; President of the Privy Council Dominic LeBlanc; Industry Minister Navdeep Bains; and Finance Minister Bill Morneau.

So it would business as usual?

What will happen? Business as usual. The Deputy Prime Minister will lead. Why would you even ask the question. Peace, Order and Good Government This is Canada 🇨🇦

We can only hope he is out permanently.

When was he ABLE to fulfill his duties?

This is blatant irresponsible journalism. DELETE IMMEDIATELY.

Lets see, ummm, lets ponder that for a minute 🤔 Oh, right, HE HAS A DEPUTY PM! What a stupid question!!! 🤪🤪🤪

Well for the idiots out there it means the Deputy P.M takes over just like the U.S V.P will. Are people really this stupid that after even 5 years of voting you don't know Canada has a D.P.M.

That's a dumb question. He already looks worn out, his wife is ill (stressful for him & the Kids) & Trudeau's doing a stellar job notwithstanding. Oh yes, Cda🇨🇦 has a Deputy PM Hon.K.Freeland 'in case you missed' that. CanadianPM

Why would you ask such an asinine question? Slow news day? We are in crisis mode and this is what you care about?

Of course this is a headline needed in these times. CTV = FOX NEWS BARELYNEWS

“becomes”

And what happens if illness means CTV goes off the air? Just think, nor more editorializing instead of news, no more creating issues where none exist. Just blessed quiet and the possibility of finding some real and honest news reporting. Sigh...

Deputy PM cafreeland will take over. Liberal front bench strength is unmatched cdnpoli

Canadians will rejoice

When did you stop referring to him as Prime Minister Trudeau?

Gee if only Canada had a back-up Prime Minister. We could call them...I don't know 'Deputy Prime Minister'?

You know, everyone is trying to help each other out and get through this safely. Why do you persist with this? If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. Stop it

I remember playing in the halls of CFTO as a kid back when the newsroom had the common decency to refer to the Prime Minister as Prime Minister.

Did anyone actually read the article?

Not a good time for the CTV to be spreading fear. At any rate Ms Freeland is more than capable and can certainly be counted on if need be. End of discussion

COULD YOU FRAKKING NOT?!

As others have quickly pointed out, the answer is actually in the very photo you used. The deputy PM on the right. Do better or just do re runs of the 92, 93 world series.

You, ALL of you at are PATHETIC and you ALL think that you are talking to IDIOTS and why on earth do you ALWAYS have to compare what OUR government does for US, with what trump does in US. SHAME on ALL of YOU from Editor in Chief to ALL journalists and 'anchors. Bye-Bye

Hahaha

So maybe stop calling yourself reporters. The woman has been deputy for months of People saying he’s not doing his job. Willful stupidity and panic farming do not help.

Are you trying to be the FOX, faux news of Canada?

You’ve become the FauxNews of Canada....ugh.

ctv are you serious. LisaLaFlammeCTV you work here?

I thought he was self isolating.

Look at the woman in the far right of your own photo. Good grief

What happens when CTV goes stupid, everybody but you has heard of DEPUTY PM FREELAND.🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

- what the $%k is wrong with you guys? Maybe try to spread a little good news for a change - like maybe give him credit for all the help is is giving Canadians. I know it doesn’t fit the media narrative, but people could use a little good news instead of gloom & doom!

He’s been unable to fill the tile for quite a while.

If only there was a search engine which could provide you with these answers in a matter of seconds.

Hmm. Odd message. I think people would know this unequivocally. Can you help us with the alphabet now? Thanks a bunch.

Maybe the deputy Prime Minister on his left would take over. Just a thought.

You haven’t even asked him how he is. Or how his wife is. Nothing. Shame

Really Are you guys this dense, this vapid and this hard up for gotcha news?

Zip it! Ignorance is not flattering. dobetter

He’d still do a better job than AndrewScheer and the CPC_HQ. cdnpoli

CTV failing canadians once again.

While less than outstanding journalism - if you actually read the article it outlines accurate succession planning and indeed states that the Deputy Prime Minister would become the acting Prime Minister - a poor fluff piece

We should have asked that question prior to the 2015 election

Horrible preplanning. We will emerge almost $1,000,000,000,000 in debt as a country with no foresight from Trudeau to preplan for epidemics and pandemics. They will have learned nothing from this catastrophe

Someone WILL act on the crisis and fast

The PM responded to this question days ago. All Canadian governments have contingency plans in place for when a minister or PM is unable to perform their duties. You know this. Stop sowing fear.

JustinTrudeau is quite healthy. I personally think he’ll be fine. He won’t leave the nation hanging.

What kind of moronic question is this.. we have a Deputy Prime Minister who assumes the PMs duties should he become ill. Frankly even if he hot COVID-19 he likely would be no sicker than with a cold and continues to work from home. CTV you need to do better!!

Why would he not be able to fulfill them. Looks like he's quite healthy still.

We have enough uncertainty right now without you looking for drama to report! And by the way, tell your reporters he is Prime Minister, not Mr.

We turn to cannibalism 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨

You are now the Fox News of Canada...

nothelpful dobetter

Are you serious?!! realjournalismplease

shaddap

HE must be kicked out from our Government! I feel like we, Canadians, are alone and never protected from the real virus who is killing us for over years!

the deputy PM becomes PM. Lazy fucking journalism cdnmedia .... not to mention globeandmail already delivered this shocking information. 🤡

Give me a break, it is a good team.

Bell As a shareholder, I’m pissed that you allow one of our companies to spend resources to come up with drivel like this. Please fire whoever thought up and approved this article to be posted. Do better.

What happens if CTV news goes off air? The bullshit & conjecture stop.

What happened to ?

More trash reporting. Man, I am getting so tired of this.

Really?

Are you guys really that dumb? Of course, your good buddy Andrew Scheer will step in immediately!

What happens if CTV becomes C onservative Party T ele V ision? Nothing, because it's always been a Conservative Party organ

We have a deputy PM

Great timing, sow more fear, add to chaos and try to undermine confidence in our government. Talk about irresponsible clickbait headline. Are you working to inform Canadians, or ...?

Stupid headline.

Should you not know this?!😳

Too late, he’s already shown he’s not capable of fulfilling his duties.

Why don’t you already know this? Shouldn’t reporters who are politically savvy be assigned to cover political news? Your questions are pitiful and really embarrassing!

Who the fuck doesn't know how our government works.

The deputy PM steps in?

Becomes?

What a stupid question!!!

... he never has fulfilled them. What would be so different?

He hasn't fulfilled his duties since elected.

That's a silly vacuous question. There is protocol and hierarchy involved, just do a couple minutes of research.

The deputy takes over and the cabinet continues doing what it is doing. This is something I've taught in grade 5 civics.

anyone who is not sure needs to go back to high school and redo all their civics classes .

Then we get someone who will take on the role of PM seriously. 👍

I don’t think that this kind of propaganda will help everyone in this situation. We are in a middle of global crisis. We have to have FAITH in order to survive this. Faith in Greater Being, Faith in ourselves and Faith in one another. BeKind

The country cheers!! We want that idiot out. He know nothing about running a country!!

Wait that chick is still PM? What’s this all aboot?

^that it's! cdnpoli F-in' manningcentre trollbots get blocked^

Why does this need to be reposted a dozen times?

He is fine

Look I don’t like Trudeau, but let him do his job right now.

Y’all think the next one is gonna be better then think again. We all have to play our part right now. It’s not only on him.

that happened more than 4 years ago

What happens if womenempowerment WomensRights activists discover CTV allows it's logo to be displayed front & center on Right Now's website, which was developed by Harper&Scheer's campaign mgr. H.Marshall? Who will replace your 1 RW Populist broadcast? Rebel? FoxOff

He needs to resign and let a competent leader take his place he's shown time and time again that he has no idea what he's doing and it's only compounds the issues he's already having his health minister is a joke the Public Health Doctor lady is a joke all Liberals are a joke

Is the worst prime minister Canada has ever seen and if he could not step up to the plate and be the leader that we need this is going to get worse

We would be stuck with the Bobblehead deputy PM

'To the Left, To the Left, Everybody step to the left' (You sang that didn't you?)

If?

Is this a test question for Canadians or are you ignorant?

Should have thought about before running for office! Burn baby burn. Canada is on fire and down she goes!!!

No ifs, Trudeau is and will continue to excel...

Are you new here or are you just being deliberately obtuse?

Libs blocking in 3...2...1

“In the event that the Prime Minister is unable to perform the functions of his office,”... (Deputy PM) Freeland would take charge, reads the order issued by the Privy Council Office' This should have been the headline cdnmedia strikes again

There’s always drama teacher.....

I'm still waiting for him to start fulfilling his PM duties. Ba dum tsssss

Deputy PM. Duh.

The deputy P.M. takes ove. Really? You neede to ask that?

Oh FFS ❗ 🤦🏻‍♀️

What? I don't have time to think about that right now. I'm too busy trying to do my part to help FlattenTheCurve. Which is exactly what Canadians need to hear from you right now. TheTimeIsNow stayhomeCanada Coronavirus

Don’t be inflammatory at this critical time, CTV. Thank You.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!

If I have to explain it to you, you should get a line of work where you have a clue

Are you affiliated with Fox “ News” ?

...YOU are fired! Every so called journalist!

The conservatives should take over!

You mean besides rejoicing all across Canada....

For a panel of experts you either trust the wrong people or your stupid! Holy revelations! Did you know about pallister and the conservatives to.

Canada is in excellent hands and has been since 2015. Aho! Covid19 IStandWithTrudeau

JustinTrudeau has the best team. ✌️🇨🇦👍

Some other globalist will step in.

TDS. Seek treatment CTV.

🙄🙄🙄 the whole Mensa clan is present in the comments I see.

This is what hsppens when you are garbage news

All of Canada breathes easier.

Is this for real? 🤦‍♀️🙄

Whoever tweeted this should be fired.

What happens to CTV News if controlled by Ownership that has hard right requirements, where should we get unbiased news from?

I’m sure there are more qualified individuals to step into his shoes...and can we focus on more relevant issues our country is facing?

See the woman at right of your photo? She's the Deputy PM. You didn't know? Sad.

Just knock it off. Your network is pathetic.

Wow, from the amount of accounts I just blocked, you have a bot and troll problem, CTV News

This guy here is a dangerous man that will destroy Canada and people will die cause of his stupidity and incompetent. Can’t understand why Canadian voted this cold heart bastard back in..

For what reason might that be. Just STOP.

Take a look at some of these accounts and it's clear to see they are pushing a single narrative. Don't be fooled regardless of where your political affiliations lie. Democracy

Are you f-ing kidding me?

The deputy PM to his left, you git.

Well.... he hasn’t been doing them for 4 years now..... So, more of the same

You people are exactly who the covid-19 is coming for. Buncha idiots! Good luck with that

he got his homies behind him eh

If ? HahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahHaba

Really? 🤦‍♀️

If lol. If clueless Justin couldn’t fulfill his duties, Canada would be immensely better off.

What is he not telling us

I would like to see who their next best thing is

'if'

He hasn't since he's been PM.

Too late.

He got re-elected... he may be re-elected again...

Wow. Pulling out all the stops for boy blunder.

Cool band!

Serious loaded question shame shame double shame

A Canadian beaver could do a better job than Trudeau. So no worries. It will result in one far left radical replacing another far left radical with matching agendas directed by the globalist socialist UN & 'other' far left players.

4UWell At least that beard will keep him warm

Here’s the answer they are looking for so that they can publish a new story with the heading “ survey finds majority of Canadians believe Andrew Sheer or official opposition leader should take over if PM cannot fulfil his duties . Bam! 🤬🖕🖕

Butts will still be in charge.

What the hell did you mean when you say “becomes unable to fulfill his duties?”He never started. Keep your eyes on Chrystia. She is running things.

Well..... I suppose nothing much a has change...

Freeland? I'd rather have Jango!

Wonder what's coming? Starting right after the election, little told steps as IF getting all prepared Trudeau gone and the replacement will slide into place as told. There seems to be a plan or a cover job happening. What and why?

The scientists are the ones taking charge, so it's not a problem.

If 😂😂 puppet

I assume the deputy PM will take over.

Well next the country heals and comes out of this recession he has created! Then we all celebrate by changing the term 'village idiot' to 'Trudeau' and laugh at his expense!

Hes not sick ornpresent symptoms so ni worries

You mean 'normal'

Status quo...

We throw a party

Then His kids will take office. They’ll do as good a job as he will.😆

Angie5cott Nothing JustinTrudeau hasn't been able to fulfill his duties as PM for the last 4 plus years

Canada would be a better and stronger nation?

What duties has he fulfilled?

We should all be so lucky. Technically he hasn't fulfilled them anyways. He's been irresponsible, unaccountable, lawless, stubborn, dumb, arrogant and ignorant just to name a few.

Just get a potato to do it. Just as effective.

Hahaha, I don’t know if anyone would notice.

He goes to prison?

Trudeau is already mentally unsuited for the job from day one. Ask him to take a drug test. The results could be like this:

If? Didn’t that happen in 2015?

La question ne se pose pas. Il en est incapable. coronavirus

I would hope that rationality would start prevailing.

Becomes?

We see the light at the end of the tunnel.

no change not doing shit now.

You mean he has so far...?

If?!!? If? When was he ever able to fulfill the duties of PM He is a ghastly mistake!!!!!

Wow is that your news?

Becomes? This idiot hasn't fulfilled any of his duties since becoming Prime Minister!.. Most incompetent PM ever!!

We’ll have a big Canada Day celebration 🍾

He never fulfilled his duties Canada

Like for the last five years?

He's unable for the last 5 years.

Bahahahaha....they used the word if....if he becomes unable!!! Lmfao!!! If....😂

I would be quite pleased if the CRTC suddenly pulled the license of CTV News. What a piece of crap.

That happened on the day he was elected...nothing was done about it then!!!!!!!!

We all win

Should be taking a long walk in the snow.

There are some cruel people in the world; like the prankster who told this stupid, dumb bugger that he'd be able to fulfill the duties of a prime minister.

Derpy derp... What will happen? Cannot believe this is a major 🇨🇦news outlet.

Has he been photo-shopped into this pic?

He’s done the square root of jack! cdnpoli

'If' ? He hasn't fulfilled his duties as PM since he was elected.

That happened 5 years ago

And here is the lead in to his disappearance cause you know he's fucking useless. His paid for media is starting to plant the seed in our heads so he can disappear and try to reemerge as a hero. LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder

Dr Marla seems to be very evasive. The answer To touching things in a grocery store is “Yes” you can get it. Reduce your risk by washing hands. Also- testing anyone with symptoms is important, and recommended by WHO. Travel should no longer matter.

He hasnt been able to fulfill his duties since he was first elected. We wont notice a thing...

When was he ever fit for duty? Maybe for a colouring book salesman.

If ?

He hasn’t period

That would be the best thing for Canada

He has lost his role, it's your fault as the mainstream media for allowing it to continue. You used your power as a way to destroy our democracy. The only way to fix it is by admitting you did wrong, move on. As a society we need to use logic rather then obscene greed.

cafreeland is the back up 🙏

He hasn’t been able to fulfill those duties yet.

He’s never filled the PMs duties. Our current state is the result

What do you mean 'if....'?

So you mean status quo?

He never was able to fulfill his duties to begin with Resign

Why would you put this out there? Idiots

What a stupid question!!!! JustinTrudeau

Fullfill,he hasn't done anything in 5 years

Then maybe someone with a spine will ban the US in light of the Corona virus.

If...?

We're 4.5 years into trying to figure that one out.

You cover for him

You're all a pretty sad bunch to be saying those things...

There will be joy throughout the land, and dancing in the streets, until Ms Freeland talks condescendingly to the voters ... and we realize ... we’re all doomed !!

Canada wins!!!!!

The country celebrates

It wouldn’t be a problem since Trudeau as never fulfilled his duties as Prime Minister.

He is there now. What is your point?

Could’ve/ should’ve asked this in 2015.

He hasn’t filled his duties in 4.5 years so not too worried ...

“Becomes”. Lol. For real though.

That's already been a reality.

Bahahaha HS

He has been unable fulfill his duties for 5+ years, what’s changed? TrudeauMustGo

Is this dated 2015 cause so far he hasn’t

If? Lol

everythingyeg becomes?

He hasn't yet so....

Annnnnnd queue the raging rednecks in the comments below...

Replace him with a Ken doll with a hipster beard drawn on. No one will notice.

What do you mean if he can’t fulfill his duties? He hasn’t in the last 4.5 years, so what would change?

everythingyeg The iceman takes over and puts everyone on ice for a few weeks with free Alberta craft and pizza!

If...hahaha...you are kidding right?

Well he hasn't fulfilled them in 4 and a half years, we would never notice he's so useless.CloseRoxhamRoad

Hasn’t fulfilled duties since 2015.

The entire Trudeau Liberal government is an abject disaster by any reasonable standards known to mankind...sorry peoplekind. TrudeauMustResign

“Becomes”? Good one...

He hasn't been doing that all along. What have u heard to bring this up suddenly? Seeing the light?

He was unable to fulfill his duties starting on that awful day in 2015 when fools voted him in. TrudeauMustGo TrudeauMustResign TrudeauWorstPM

You assume its the year 2016 again?

Without the endless breathless love by CBC CTV Global Toronto Ottawa msm trudeau couldn't get elected and the endless live is still front and center trudeau checked out years ago to bad CBC CTV Global Toronto Ottawa msm didnt go with Trudeau

What happens if Trudeau becomes able to fulfill his duties?

He's been unable to fulfill his duties since 2015.

You needed a whole article to explain that there exists a deputy prime minister?

We have a NON-CONFIDENCE VOTE !

Manny70944327 We've been waiting four and half years so far to find out

A hamster could do the job

Status quo. Trudeau hasn't fulfilled the PM duties since ce he was elected the first time. Certainly not in this time of crisis. Yet, he's still here. !

When did he ever?

Does no one in this country know even the most basic things about parliamentary democracy? A PM is one anyone that holds the confidence of parliament. The party in power could could choose anyone they want.

Too late, he’s been incompetent since day 1 and still has a job.

When did he start being “able” to fulfill his duties?!

when was he ever able to?

Trudeau is unable to fulfill the PM’s duties since 2015 by the way !

This happened 4.4 yrs ago. We know the answer.

That’s a silly question because he never started fulfilling the PMs duties.

He hasn't been able to fulfill his duties during the last four years so whatever happens next isn't going to be a surprise.

Just preparing us so he can disappear totally saw this coming

Has he started?

We’ve been seeing the answer for five years.

He was never able, idiots!

They're going to ask Sheer to run the show LOL

It happened four years ago.

No one would notice. Next question...

We may end up with a competent Prime Minister instead of a Drama Teacher

He hasn’t fulfilled his duties as PM since he was elected.

IF, ? He hasn’t done anything yet to fulfill the duties of the PM. He has duties to serve all Canadians, not just select Provinces / groups and individuals. If Showboating, jet setting vacationing embarrassment was his duty, he’d be at 100% successful.

Freeland is our new PM. Knew this months ago. Watch everyone.

Don’t tease us like that.

You’re 5 years too late....October 2015 Leaderless PMFail

😂😂😂 we’re into Trudeau’s 5th year of his not being able to fulfill his duties. Were have you been? CTV news, clueless!

Easy the easy will re elect him.

If? We've been at that point for 4.5 years. TrudeauMustGo

I’m just over here waiting for him to begin to fulfill the duties of PM.... On a more serious note!... I can’t stand his politics! But I certainly don’t want him to fall ill or worse!..

Has our clueless pathetically inept PM ever fulfilled his PM duties yhe past 4.5 years?

CANADA WILL BE MUCH BETTER OFF!!

The next liberal/socialist pot-head takes over maaaaaaaaaaaan!

I think everyone knows that Butts-Freeland have had the reigns of this Ottawa-based Franco-Loser Confederation for years. Now that gatherings over 50 people are cancelled Trudeau can’t even perform his sole responsibility: marshalling gay pride parades.

We'd be better off. TrudeauMustGo cdnpoli

Lol. 🤣

When was JustinTrudeau ever able to fulfill the PM duties? 🙄

HAHA ..HE ALREADY is unable of doing his duties.Have you been sleeping the last 4 years..didnt notice the shit show

No one will ever notice the fucking difference.

You mean like every day since he was elected?

He has never been able

Not sure if the deputy would be much better.

I heard he started them in 20 odd 15 but haven't seen much progress since then.....actually, if you're part of the LGBTQRSTUV2A* group then ya, he's your guy. If you're from Western Canada not so much. Let me know when he's PM

Andrew Scheer should become PM

We are home free?

so long we don't get a hitler style regime

Canada becomes a better place

Becomes? He has never been able to!!

Well, Freeland won the swimsuit competition so she is first runner up, isn’t she?

He's not able to fulfill them today.. mute point

‘Becomes’

Would be the best think for Canada! Election here we come! TrudeauMustGo

He’s already unable to fill his duties as Prime Minister! Completely inept at his job. TrudeauMustGo

Are you kidding? He hasn’t done anything but waste our money. TrudeauNotFitForOffice TrudeauMustGo cndpoli

If?

Old news....that actually happened 4 years ago!

Whaddya mean “becomes”?......🤨

I don’t like freeland taking over either. We would need the opposition to form government.

How stupid and irresponsible do you have to be to allow your wife, mother, and daughter to travel to the epicentre of the infection to bring back the virus to Canada. Nothing surprises me.

False, Trudeau has never been able to fulfill the PM’s duties... Doodies yes, duties no

When did he start?

He continues on as he always has been. No one notices any change, Liberalsmvote for him again....the pandemic of Village Idiots in Canada will linger long past the WuhanVirus.

We throw the biggest celebration this country has ever seen and rejoice to the fact that we might actually be led by a person with a couple brain cells. You’ve got me excited now do you know something we don’t

Seems like he’s doing a fantastic job.

When did he start?

Well I still have to earn some bucks, so if you don't like Trudeau, be sure to voice your opinion. Order your Trudeau Must Go shirts and Apparel.

Is there truth to the story from Cuba? “For its part, the MINSAP has declared that it is prepared to deal with the disease since they have a very powerful antiviral that has been used previously in China and in Spain with good results, it is Interferon Alpha 2B.” Does CANADA?

He’s already unable, unfit, unsuitable, incompetent....

He will be fine... I see 2 or 3 more terms

Canada will cheer

One of the most important reserve powers of the Crown is the power to appoint the Government, which ensures that Canada is governed no matter what the crisis. So, not a problem.

Lol.. as long as no cons are in power, Canada will be fine

Just please sign it...CHANGE.ORG: This petition must be urgently supported❗ Removal of Justin Trudeau-Cette pétition doit être soutenue en urgence❗ Destitution de Justin Trudeau

Freeland😉

Canadians aren’t that lucky.

Didn’t that happen four and a half years ago ?

When has he been able to? Never.

Canadians everywhere would rejoice

I'm sure there will be some other liberal idiot to take his place and mess things up more.

You mean he has been ?

“What if”? It already happened!!! The guy is incompetent, and has put Canadians health and lives at risk with his delays and lack of leadership. Not to mention the economy and energy sector!!!

Becomes?

Stirring the nest.. added negativity in times like this isn't necessary. Quit being so pessimistic and find some positive from this mess...or is that too much work for you?

Trudeau is just fine.

We would never notice, would we.

We all breath a sigh of relief!

Worried about who's gonna sign the cheques are we

I wasn’t aware that he ever was capable!

An American double will move in. Forget the Stocks. Our Government is in danger and it is far more worse than the Coronavirus which shall pass. Mr. Trudeau, what's with Canada giving America free access while banning so many other Countries. Is it our Oil that they want? Favours?

BECOMES lol he’s been unable since day 1.

How about no more than 5....Count em! 5! ppl...NOT, 50! Take CONTROL!

We’ll be happy he’s gone?

Has he been fulfilling his duties since 2015? Who knew.

Shame on you CTV News - looking for click bait and being completely unprofessional with your “journalism.” Shame.

Canada wins when puppet but can't preform his duty

When WAS he able?

'If'?

That is a indication that JT is planning a long term vacation. He worked too too too hard in the past week. Remember how often he took vacation in his last term?

Jason Kenny will take over.

Can we just focus on the 1m issues currently at hand?!?! What is this?

Canada will be better off for it

One can wish,because he fails everyday he pretends 🤮💩

What’s the difference, he’s a Shiite human and worse prime minister

Think back to the day he was elected...thats when he waa unable to fulfil the duties, right there!

We would have the chance to make it!

This happened... like, 4 years ago.

That would be a helluva “man-flu”....stop with the hyperbole would ya?

Nothing. He isn't fulfilling them now...

You should have asked that before the election.

has he not already demonstrated his unfit to fulfill the role of PM. He is hardly able to fulfill the role of a drama teacher!

We celebrate! Well, individually for now!

Ummm...”if”... think we’re past that point me thinks :)

Is that a joke?

I’ll have to get lectured about hand washing from a different substitute teacher

Some other asshole, will do the job.

Canadians have had enough of him - he's fired !

He has already shown Canadians and the world 4 years ago that he cannot.

He hasn’t for five years now!

I’m in. Pick me!

He’s letting P Freeland take his place . This is more scary then Trudeau

That happened the day he was born?

Canada would become a better place to live.

I don't file for bankruptcy.

Yes! Yes! Yes! From your mouth to God's ears. Boot his ass out the door!

And you are the Minister of Public Safety?

Climate Barbie takes over apparently.

When did he begin?

He doesn’t fill the position now!

Canada gets a new leader!👏🏻

What an unbelievably stupid post. Imagine if the Feds did not have a plan in place in a situation like this? The plan means exactly nothing, other than that it is another shining example that our govt is acting calmly, rationally and prudently. cdnpoli

Well said

We've seen this, for the past 4 years, the answer is Idiot LPC voters will vote him in again.

Dreams can come true!

LOL! He isn't fulfilling his duties now!

Reality Alert: Trudeau was NEVER ABLE to fulfill PM duties.

we have already hit that 4 years ago

Miss Congeniality fills in

He's already made a massive succession list for all positions. He knows a bunch of people are about to get 'sick'

Too late.

He is already unable! The most incapable one!

Same as the last 4 years, the country is a mess.

He couldn't ever. Especially before last election. If media did their jobs. Canada would have better leadership in this time of crisis. Not a bunch of flailing fish out of water MP'S. All Genders

Deputy steps in

Gonna be easier to manage this crisis!!

Wake up. It's a digital world.

Oh he’s been unable to fulfil PM duties for years now....TrudeauMustGo

Regular day

Don’t we have a Freeland?

Our country will improve significantly.

He carries on for 5 more years.

Why is this even being discussed any more than any other time in the last few years? He’s not even sick!

If you don’t want people and business to panic please please issue in order to stop and to freeze rents and mortgages until further notice It’s an idiot proof

IfTrudeau becomes unable to fulfill the PM's duties? We all win and Canada recovers! Yes!

The ultra-capable Chrystia Freeland, DPM can lead Canada without a doubt. No worries whatsoever for Canadians on that front🙂

Tell me something new...!

Like really... what is wrong with CTV news... asking this at a time like now...there is enough anxiety being created by the media. So disappointed!

Look around you, this is what happens! He hasn't been able to fulfill PM duties since he's been elected

You mean to say that after all he's tried to do already you're not convinced he can't fulfill the PM duties.....wake up people

Well nothing would change would it?

Then Chrystia Freeland will

'Becomes unable' He hasn't been able to successfully do that since day 1 !!!

Why is each province handle the coronavirus differently? Some schools are closed while others remain open. If we want to see the infection numbers drop it's best to stay home.

Do you think we’ll notice?

Whatever duties the CRIMINAL PM did not fulfill and knowingly wasted all our hard working money, it was the CRIMINAL MEDIA that helped him do it. The CRIMINAL MEDIA will be held accountable too when this is all over.

He hasn't done them for 5 years now it.

Look around and you will see.

It don't really matter as he will be gone in the next election. AS Canadians are sick and tired of the same promises.

Odd question I would think there’s a gag order 😜

By the sounds of him on TV, sounds like he has it. If he can't, someone will step in, temporarily. Not a big deal and why do you make it as such?

Aliens will abduct him.

I was under the impression that the liberal party already passed all duties of the pm to Freeland ?

That happened 4.5 yrs ago.

Where do I send flower to?

You spelled 'remains' wrong..

I am pretty sure JT is not infected.

I thought he was already unable to fulfill his role as PM the day he was voted in the first time! UAF

a stick?

Will anyone notice?

The same that would happen if CTVNews reporters became sick. They would be in quarantine and get medical help. No one could take PM Justin Trudeau’s place but only act on his behalf.

What do you mean, 'becomes' unfit? He was never fit for office in the first place!

WHO WILL TAKE ALL THE SELFIES THEN!!!

Didn't know he was fulfilling his duties all he does is spend our money ..

He hasnt been anyway!!

Canada Wins!

Nothing... look at the last 5 years

Who cares? Let’s elect a new PM

What happens if you actually begin to practice sound journalism instead of click bait?

What about the last 4 1/2 years?

When was he able to?

Then Gerald Butts would have to manipulate Chrystia Freeland’s strings.

We end up where we are now.

He can’t perform his duties now nothing will change.

They vote him in again!

He hasn't done nothing in 5 years what's the difference

We already know. We know.

He never fulfilled any duties yet.... so? What’s your point?

I'm just here for the comments

Simple answer? If history is any indication, he gets re-elected.

Same as what we have now. CTV is fake news

He filled his cabinet will fools, so even if it’s not the Deputy for some reason, we’re doomed.

We would be far better off without him and his lack of leadership that’s what would happen

What do you mean, unable? When was he able?🤣

Give it to theJagmeetSingh and let him run with it...

I can think of one thing.

a country wide house party

We have a festival

Why 'if'?...

he never was able to do so! i'm i the only man alive who think the man is just a sad tragedy

First we organize a massive countrywide party, social distancing be damned. Then we put someone competent in charge. Someone who cares more about Canadians than the UN, his socks, the limelight, virtue signalling and selfies. TrudeauNotFitForOffice cdnpoli

Stays the same as it has for the past 4.5 years?

IF What if.... he is on vacation, playing Mr.Dressup, he doesn’t give a rats ass about the Canadian people!! Nail on the head!!!

Here for all the *hilarious* comments

really😟 is this what we are focusing on? I am truly disappointed the new media. NEWS needs refocusing

Becomes?

Sadly, a new election would unlikely be called as that would also pose a health risk to everyone who votes.

Good reading here

…we replace him with a real, competent leader? Maybe?

In these difficult times, thank you for providing an outlet to LAUGH MY ASS OFF! 😆😅😂😂

Our PM has done an impeccable job through all of this. Be grateful you live here with him as your PM and not the USA with DT as your leader. Be more positive people.. its healthier for you.

And how exactly would we know? This clown has never demonstrated that he has any idea how to fulfill the PM's duties?

He's had that problem since drama class!

You're about 4 years late with this question.

Too easy

if?

The question I have is why did Sophie and his mom have to attend WE day in the Uk during the pandemic. Their attendance was frivolous & irresponsible considering they both have the potential to spread it to key members of parliament. Did they get paid to attend?

it's been 4 1/2 years and he hasn't been able to do the job yet, but he is still here!

Trudeau is never around when you need him anyways so nothing new there .

Damn, where have you been for the last five years?

Nobody competent In the current gov to take over. Election time. NoConfidence

Something will finally get done.

the country will rejoice

Nothing. No. One. Will. Notice.

OMG. This is the lowest hanging fruit ever served up. But I'll pluck it anyway: why is this posed as a hypothetical? what have you been watching for 5 years? Are you doing comedy now?

Lots_Of_Fun_69 If?

The country would rejoice

It’s already been reported that the deputy PM, Chrystia Freeland would fulfill the PM duties

That is our current reality

IF?..R U kidding..lol

we are living it right now... this is what happens

Ummm deputy PM!!!!

eps11cy

We've been in that situation for over three years now...

Lol, wtf ya been the last 5 years!?

When has he fulfilled them before?

Nothing is going to change He hasn't fulfilled them since he was elected

Wouldn’t he have to begin to fulfill PM’s duties for this stupid question to even be relevant? FakeNewsCTV

Way to feed the trolls!

Ummmm were not in Kansas anymore..... 👠 👠

That’s what’s been happening since he PM

'...IF'

We’ve been there for 4 years already. Why worry about it now?

Isn’t that what’s been happening?

Not really sure why this is being asked. I would think that we can all put aside partisanship and focus on getting through this. It’s actually appalling that this is even being brought forward given the fluidity of this situation. Shame on you ctvnews. Be Better. Do Better.

Millions of Canadians celebrate in self isolation?

I was this in Star Wars Vote for no confidence, another election... galaxy is doomed... Ok. Maybe not that last part.

This is a trick question.... you can’t fool us CTV.... everyone knows he has been unable from the very beginning 😉 TrudeauMustGo

We could only hope! Happy dance if he did!

Pfft

Lots_Of_Fun_69 .COME ON, NOW. DOES ANYONE, ANYONE - ACTUALLY THINK THIS PUPPET MAKES ANY DECISIONS HE IS A GLOBALIST USEFUL IDIOT. THE WHOLE LIBERAL PARTY IS. cdnpoli canada

Why would it matter? It hasn't stopped him before...

The first question should be 'any difference?'

I guess the world would end, according to you guys.

Has he been doing that for the last 5 years

Then Canada will Thrive

CTV ..... you tease me you naughty girl !!

He really has been an absent PM his entire time in power.

We Can always listen to the tRump! Many people will die! He's full of cheery news as usual!

Maybe he has a costume for that.

Canada will be a much better place

If?

Why is that news? She’s “deputy” Prime Minister. We kind of figured it would become her show if he falls ill.

Nothing...same as now

If?

JustinTrudeau is doing what he can do in this crisis... keep in mind he is a human not GOD neither an GHOST. Question is this how come this Virus Started from China Stayed Active for this Long, while other Chines Stuff Doesn`t work for this long.

I see you just come up something new to troll Trudeau lol

The country would be better off..................

That’s been the case for 5 years.

In my opinion, that’s already happened

That happened years ago...

I feel so sorry for my fellow Canadians... Narayan_17 Couple weeks too late, champ.
