In contrast, the United States has recorded more than 3 million cases and 131,336 deaths. Authorities have reported alarming upswings of daily case loads in roughly two dozen states over the past two weeks. Canada and the United States have blocked nonessential travel between the two nations since March and are discussing whether to extend the ban when it expires on July 21.Deputy chief public health officer Howard Njoo said the outbreak was largely under control, while stressing measures such as contact tracing and quarantine would still be essential.

What did all the countries do except useless lockdowns and confusing and terrifying their citizens by these mainstream media that kept their horror movies of covid. Putting healthy people at home without work . And letting the elderly die . Nobody handled it right

FAKE NEWS ABOUNDS...EVEN IN CANADA.

are you crazy you told us not to wear masks, you gave away our ppe, you let illegals cross the border putting us all at risk, you let planeloads of people come and go for 6 weeks after everyone else closed their borders

That’s not exactly difficult though

Congratulation mr PM! You are really true sportsman for humanity!---- Ravi Pratap Upadhyay Cartik Lucknow

He is right. Almost everyone did, except Sweden and Brazil. Canada is doing so well, right next door. Because they have a sane leader.

The USA is failing. We must believe in SCIENCE again or thousands more will die. COVID-19 Deaths as of July 11th, 2020 The USA has 137,403 COVID-19 deaths. The WORLD has 567,734 COVID-19 deaths. The USA has 24% of all COVID-19 deaths. The USA has 4% of the world's population.

Well shit, so the fuck did almost every other country on the planet

The reason is simple. There were no such US Democrats in Canada.

No shit.

It’s because the utter stupidity of 45 is beyond disbelief!!!

Chattyhen1 Well, United States handled the stupid non-existent virus better than dumb Canada, SAYS ME!!!!

The numbers would bare that out.

LEADERS: This is because they see themselves as one people and strive to live ethically in this way. CANADA is not perfect, nor can be any nation, but their government is more caring than most.

Yeah and in my household of four I’ve handled it better than him. Zero cases zero deaths. What up now Justin? Guess I can’t really compare competency with differing populations and differing culture between my house and his country.

Just say “maple” and it leaves

HEY! Don't brag JustinTrudeau! It wasn't a very high bar!

Really? President Trump hasn’t been Covid19 positive!

Correct.

Every country did. Stupid Americans.

Also the sky is up.

Because unlike the U.S., Canada has competent leadership.

Ya think?

Yeah but...

The numbers say

BitOne17 Hahaha another claimant of stupidity!

well of course he would say that, he's a politician ... what else would he say?

Don't speak to soon, when it comes your way full speed, Trump will be like a red-bull you may need.

He is such a cigarette

Well duh

sum1star I think the only country that didn’t handle it better is Brazil, they’re tied for first place as shit hole countries filled with disease. Oh, the irony! Keep those borders closed.

Not to mention, with a hottie pattoti in change. JustinTrudeau 😍 We’re over here stuck with the orange brain dead blob denying COVID19 is killing us. realDonaldTrump has FAILED America. TrumpKillsUs

Well THEY ARE!! We have the worst “leadership” on the planet! Problem w/ political jokes is they get elected!

Canadians, is this true?

As has virtually every country on planet earth

If only the US had a president as smart, honorable and intelligent.

Well doh!

🤪😂🤪😂🤪😂🤪😂🤪nobody listens to this article anyway

half the US population still think that Coronavirus is fake news!!

Everyone has so .... really low bar. But I love Trudeau. One of my favorite pics even if it was awkward. Beautiful people. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

TfWhisky Every other country in the world did! Duh!

What are we supposed to do...argue with him?

and Canada handled Melania better than Donny too ReesusP 😀

Every country does a better job

Literally, every country can make this claim without lying.

Just about every country responded better to the coronavirus pandemic. VoteBlueToSaveAmerica2020

JanineBliss No shit. So did virtually every country in the world.

He’s not wrong.

😂ok😂 ✊🏻👌🏻✊🏻

Canada doesn’t have morons running the country.

They took it seriously unlike some people.

That’s because he is competent. Whereas the USA has a pathological liar. I wonder if the chemicals in his orange spray tan are causing his stupidity? Probably not!

Low bar. Did we handle it better than Germany? If not, why not?

No surprise since the vast majority of countries easily did the same. BTW That gray in the beard makes Trudeau seem as if he aged overnight. The stress of the Pandemic maybe?

Yea ok!

Obviously!

Hands down.

Wait, a politician saying he did it best. You don't day?

Yes they did, as well as just about any other country.

When you have a functional adult in charge, it makes it easier!

Most countries handled it better than we did!

I call bull shit

Fidel Castro Trudeau needs to have 25% Latino and 22% blacks population in Canada too before he can compare Canada to the USA

Good Job 👏 May Be you could teach that President of USA how to be ruler

Everyone handled it better than the US

Of course they did. BloodOnTrumpsHands

Moslem asskisser!

I’m so happy for Canada !!!!! Trump is a murderer. TrumpIsANationalDisgrace

Pretty much everyone handled it better than the United States.

Pretty much the entire world other than Brazil and Russia did a better job than us.

Did he say it while in black face

Fuc* Justin Trudeau!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸Trump2020

Not much of a challenge though considering Trump's inadequacy

Sad but true. An American says so.

Skittishly yes!

Honestly, that’s a low bar to clear.

Also water is still wet as F

Literally everyone did better than us.

RickiMayhall To be fair, my grandfather who has been dead for 29 years has done a better job than donnie!!

Pretty obviously

C_A_resist

Numbers don't lie and neither did PM Trudeau!!

cthefdown He is right, this was achieved by stepping aside and letting health experts do the talking. I live so far away from the capital, but every time I turned the TV, I got a consistent message from health experts. It helped.

So did every other country.

It’s a fact.

Had Trump not been in office, and no one at all was President, the US would have listened to the actual experts. And we wouldn't be were we are. Seriously, no President at all would have been exponentially better than what we now have. Let that sink in.

That is setting the bar way too low

Of course it did.

They have 2/3 less people in Canada. Fricken idiot

You sound shocked.

Yes they did. Trump sucks!

They don't have an idoit running the country.

Trudeau is 100% correct. God bless Canada.🇨🇦👏

morganOPINES No shit

This guy is a jerk, even after becoming a prime minister he still behaves like a bushman

Well it is handled by provinces (and states in US)Canadas big province has a conservative leader that worked hard. Us biggest states and worst deaths were all liberal leaders. 🤔 US feds did better at giving tax free dollars in aide. Canada did not and are screwed come tax time

All the CowardoftheCottage did was pop out every day and hand out money.

This is because they have a sensible leader.

How dare you! lol

And he is correct in saying that.

Cool story bro! JustinTrudeau US Population: 328.2 million (2019) Canada Population: 37.59 million (2019)

Along with 99% of the other countries in the world.

Clearly

Every Country Did!!!

Duh...

If Canada only had a 🏜️

No kidding.

“ The wetest “. - donald trump riptrump ObamaWasBetterAtEverything

Duh!

The US is 3rd in the world of top most visited countries. It’s possible this virus was here infecting people months before the first case became public. Add the bigger population and state responses. Being an election year, there are several compliants of manipulated numbers.

Yes, all the way around. We have a fool who's trying to kill us all.

realDonaldTrump PoliticsOverPublicHealth TRUMP is only for Trump. He wants re-election more than keeping Americans alive!

shit, almost the whole world did.

Not hard when 45 acts like he has a second grade education. The US is so screwed and I actually think his followers are dumber now than they were four years ago.

Like that’s saying something🤔

There’s no one running the show here TrumpVirus Covid45

I mean which country did not handle the situation better lol

3rd world countries handled covid better than trump.

you're right, you did.keep up the good work and pray for us.

duh

Of course they did, but that is a pretty low bar.

A turd in a hat handled the virus better than realDonaldTrump

Everybody will agree except Donald Trump.

Tru dat! Comin from Merica!

What a loser

Bullshit is big in this one!

Millions of Americans agree.

Things that make you say DUH! Of coarse Canada handled it better!

jjpearso64 You could have left off 'PM Trudeau says' and it would have still been 100% accurate with fewer characters :)

Is that so?

A frog could have done better to respond to Covid than douche bag drump!!! All he does is campaign and play golf!!!

Duh. The world know this already. Why bother saying it out loud?

Over 80% of Canada’s Covid deaths were in nursing homes. I’m not sure it’s better to congratulate yourself on failing to protect those you knew were most vulnerable.

Everyone handled it better

Obviously....

NOBODY WANTS TO GO TO CANNADA

Well less people go to Canada than the USA. Am I wrong? Look at flights. Look at what Trump did and the Democrats did when he shut travel down. You are nuts

Then move there

Fake News... Plus no one goes to Canada

Yep

Canada didnt test like crazy besides in USA they want high numbers for November...Canada please people have to wait months for surgery which here it happens in days

Not saying much.

No shit sherlock.

Narrator: “Every developed country handled the coronavirus outbreak better than the United States.”

Yes he did

That really isn't an achievement anymore. Compare yourself to some Scandinavian or European countries

He also put this country in tremendous debt , with nothing to show for it. He is a ducking idiot

Dear Governors: We, the U.S. citizens are coming together for NATIONAL COVID-19 TESTING DAY Please sign the petition and share. Thank you. COVID19 COVID19Testing Coronavirus

DBChirpy every country did better than USA.

No big revelation the entire planet handled it better.

Obvious statement of the day goes to PM Trudeau

Thank you Prime Minister Obvious.

That’s for sure...

He definitely does black face better.

trumpislosing

Everyone has handled it better than we have.

But they had a competent leader. It was not a competition of equals

No doubt.

50 different states with vastly different demographics and an insane population. Nobody ever mentions that part.

Who didn't?

Is this even news. Most countries dealt it better than US

TfWhisky Yes even though I have to say Trump really did not set a high bar!

Duh

Stoptheinsani20 EVERYONE handled COVID-19 better than the US. The numbers and the carnage speak volumes. Reminds me of the best joke from foreigners - What borders on Stupid? Mexico and Canada. And the nightmare is just beginning and we have no one at the helm.

Canada, and everyone else.

Well, yeah.

Don’t jinx yourself there PM. It’s not over yet

Everyone (is) handl(ing)ed the pandemic better than the US...

While the middle income earning Canadians shell out almost 40% in taxes!!!

blemons38_j It's true.

Not even close. Canada was MUCH better

Ooooo, that's going to tick off Moron Donald. . . 😁

Duh.

LuGrandma1 He’s handle the pandemic and Melania a 100x better than realDonaldTrump

The NDP played a huge role in helping Canada. The NDP pushed for a UBI that is helping Canadians all over the country as well as small businesses. It's almost like having a leftist party that pushes for the best solution actually makes situations like these better..

Don’t rub it in! We have an imbecile as President!

Yep

Canada. Lol

The article does not sight examples of what 🇨🇦 did in contrast to 🇺🇲 for their success 🤔 So what did🇨🇦 do different? Because there are several small states with the pop of 🇨🇦 that have the same 's

Was that with or without blackface?!

Almost everyone handled it better than we did

Name one country that did worse that USA taking into account it’s resources and wealth....

Low bar.

Says the PM from a nation with only 34 million people...1/2 the population of the UK and only 1/10 the number of people in the USA. Have the fake eyebrows fallen off the weirdo, bar bouncer, legacy child PM's face lately?

EVERYONE handled the coronavirus better than the US. We are a raging dumpster fire

He’s a clown!

Everybody handled it better!

I’d rather live here in Covid then to be in Canada without it.. lol

The entire world handled/handles it better than realDonaldTrump

Everybody did.

Ya think? 🇨🇦🇨🇦

He's not wrong. Every country has handled corona virus better than the U.S.

He is correct. Much better.

With a population density more than 8x lower and overall population 9x lower, soooo totally a good comparison.

What’s Canada’s population?

He’s right Biden2020

The Wuhan wet market handled the outbreak better...

Every country does better than the United States, except India, the Americans have been deceived by the government, they do not know other countries! Especially China!

How can you handle anything better than your master?

You could grab a random person off the street in D.C. and they could run America's Covid response efforts better than Presi-dunce von Clownstick.

SecPompeo realDonaldTrump IvankaTrump

Sure it did

That’s a low bar.

feinberg_linda Almost EVERYBODY did better than Trump.

Yes, you definitely did.

Every country in the world handled the outbreak better than the US! What?! Does Trudeau want brownie points or a Medal of Honor?!! 🙄

He's right

What’s with the beard thing?

It’s a lot easier to handle a Crisis with 38 million people than 340 million

Wonder why?

Great claim Justin - at least we weren't last.

It's evident that he's correct on this point.

Mr Blackface

Clearly.

rogerwilko No sh**

That’s totally obvious...whoever is questioning that is not living in reality...hint, hint

See my prime minister

Canada is a much better country than the US

Population might have something to do with it. USA has some 330 million people while Canada some 37 million. Surely it must be easier to manage 37 million people over a large land mass.

Not sure everything needs to get the horse race treatment.

Because Canada has a leader-we do not thanks to those that voted for this 'reality show star'-I would say 'You are fired' hopefully the American people will agree!

He held a news conference to jab the USA? Classy.

This is a bit like trying to get your parents to compare your poor grades with the straight-F student rather than pointing to the class boffin (New Zealand).

Yep they can you know, because when commie Trudeu close their borders nobody called him racist for doing it , also its easy to take care of basically an snow desert

Any countries in the world is better than America.

Not really a ringing endorsement from the PM considering the shables in the USA

Wow!! Expected better from him ! Is that the standard he is comparing himself to ... Why not compare Canada response to covid19 yo one newzeland had?

So did almost every other country.

Who handled it worse?

When a Communist is US president during the next pandemic, we won't even know there's a pandemic. Nobody will talk about it. It's all good 👍

OG_BettyWhite

Ja ja ja ja Trudou pice of shit

How JustinTrudeau dare to say better than daddy America! realDonaldTrump will fck him.

Oh so it's a competition now?

Absolutely from a health perspective and a financial perspective, the government has stepped up and taken care of Canadians and they must be applauded for that. There is no politics in this

PM Trudeau is a real Gentleman.

TRUE STORY

“Is handling”... it’s not over yet WearAMask

Junior is sensing the departing of Trump... 'I ain't scare of him anymore!'

Apart from probably Brazil every country in the world handled it better than America!

Its survival of the smartest, the dumb ones die out. America had a great run.

No pride. Taiwan. SK. new zealand are model. US is not a model.

五十步笑百步?真逗。。。做实小土豆外号

Mathematically speaking numbers of COVID 19 cases is a function of leadership. Leadership is inversely related to COVID 19 cases. Leadership in USA is at its worst hence the high cases realDonaldTrump JustinTrudeau

Everybody, except Brazil, has handled TrumpVirus better than the US, it seems.

Trump:FUCK🤘Trudeau☝.The United States 👌has the lowest mortality rate in the world👐

This thing knows no borders. Do not wish it on Canada to prove a point. Just saying....

percentage of positive pop. is ~.28 for canada and ~.9 for the us. the fatality rate in the us is about half of canada's though.

JustinTrudeau that is the bar you set yourself against One of the worst responses Let’s looks at Taiwan, South Korea, France even...

60,000 vs 242 new cases yesterday. It’s close but I think Canada wins.

Necesitamos hablar de las minas en México señor JustinTrudeau Por ahí anda cerca Andrés Manuel lopezobrador_

That’s not a high bar.

My friend is bragging about he could run faster than a poliomyelitis child.

Incredible her biological father did not genetically deny her anything, the only thing you need is pure Havana

And there's one, pink, obese reason why.

No shit

Well, duh. That’s what happens when you have a competent leader and most of the citizens are willing to do what they must to stop the virus. Do thankful to be 🇨🇦

Canadá has 37.5 million population 106 .000 cases 8733 deaths. Us has 331 million people 3.05 million cases 133 ,00 deaths. Do the numbers and let’s be fair!!

Where is his captain obvious cape and superhero suit. You can't say such things without the proper attire.

No kidding. Seems everyone did.

No shit

Ahhhh ... that is, unfortunately, not much of a claim. Canada would have had to compete with the USA to do worse.

Way better than US. However, US problem is Trump and his stupid team in the white house . More than 130,000 deaths it's like a war zone, very sad

Tanzania handled the corona virus outbreak better than united States, better than China, better than Canada better than other countries, Njooni mjifunze kwetu, hatujawahi kuwa na lockdown even a single day & we're safe.

Could it be because they have a smart leader who cares.

Couldn't do any worse, literally.

Now is not yet time to judge. Let's look back 5 years later. Only then you'd know who wins.
