Except that in his case the "cottages" are actually official prime ministerial residences -- one of which has become his family's primary residence during the crisis while the other has been turned into Trudeau's primary office as he, like millions of other Canadians, works from home as much as possible to curb the spread of the deadly coronavirus that causes COVID-19.
"And I spend several nights a week with the family, then I go down to work in the city like many Quebecers who live in the Outaouais." The Trudeau family has lived primarily in Rideau Cottage since he took office in 2015 because the prime minister's official residence at 24 Sussex has been deemed virtually uninhabitable without millions in renovations. A succession of prime ministers has balked at the price tag.
And anything wrong with that, CTV you people act like politicians on an election tour, do some real reporting, instead of wasting money.
He tells the rest of us not to travel . He is the P.M so it's ok for him to put lives at risk . I think not
And I see it as another « do what I say not what I do » episode.
Which is how everyone should see it. Some Canadians complain too much. Love to those who understand the PM🤜
Of course he does. Do as he says, not as he does.
Hypocrite
And I see him as a moron
Outrageous he tells everyone else to stay home then takes his entourage to the 'cottage '. He is reinventing the double standard big time. No wonder Canadians have completely lost faith in him.
Lol... 1 day is coming they will shit and spit all over that name...
Liar Trudeau!
Call it what you want it is still breaking the COVID-19 rules!! No one should be above the law!!!!!
All politicians then are special and privileged. Trips to their Dachas! The rest of us are just peasants and must stay in place, because we're not MP's. What country and system of govt have we become?
Fuck JustinTrudeau and the horse he ride in on
Tell us about the ankle bracelet. JusticeIsComing
The only way to get rid of the garbage called our Prime Minister is become a Conservative Party member focus on voting in the best leader get him or her elected as our new PM so we can take the the garbage to the curb where he will be taken to the landfill.
Haha. What a bunch of bullshit. Why is he even pretending to be married? All he cares about now is power and control. Not family.
Leave the man alone.
His office is in the HOC not some cushy mansion! Harrington is his summer residence, Rideau Cottage is his temporary residence. I guess that summer came in Jan this year!
Definition:A hypocrite preaches one thing,and does another.The word hypocrite is rooted in Greek word hypokrites,which means“stage actor,pretender,dissembler.” So think of a hypocrite as a person who pretends to be a certain way,but really acts and believes the total opposite.
Just end the misery that is Trudeau already. The entire world wants this guy dead. Not just us Canadians. We also wanna see corrupt puppets like close its lying doors and mouths for good. NO ONE TRUSTS PAID MEDIA ANYMORE. Get over it. yerdone! independantmedia
Trudeau makes my head hurt. The fact that so many people don’t understand he’s just an actor playing a part... iota just about getting weed legalized and getting even with Alberta for making his Dads life difficult.
Yes he does.....but only every two weeks during “visitation”
Trudeau really experiences things differently.
eastcoastnscan I went on a lovely trip from “work and home” this weekend too. It’s great to be back at the cottage!!!
Of course
Right....🙄
Seems to me that he just sees it differently then us, which makes it ok in his books
Give it a frigging break. And btw travel between ottawa and Gatineau is fully open. Including to ‘cottages’. Since when is a 30 minute commute denied the PM and not other federal public servants living in the area?
You know what people, I am not a Trudeau fan but get fucking real. He is ON constantly and under seemingly insurmountable pressure. So he wants to go to the cottage for a couple days. Is that the BIG news story you have CTV. Grow up.
I see my taxes been squandered by a lame duck in a minority government
Our PM must have been taking lessons from the potus on how to be a fool
Those of us working from home can say the same thing!
Rules for Trudeau vs. Rules for everyone else. In a dictatorship, we know who wins.
I have no problem with his travel between these two places.
If that CCP cuck-mangina actually did any work it would be a first. Hypocrite
He looks like Edgar Allen Poe in exile
The prospective of a rich bastard!!!
Me too, I work at my house and live at my cottage...well I used to, but now I'm not allowed to go to my home...fucking hypocrite.
Why in hell are you letting all these flights in from China!!!
If home is where the heart is, then I see no problem going anywhere your heart is, friends, family, the lot of them.
In 1959 it was decided this would be the summer home for Prome Ministers of Canada
Just a reminder to the Canadian press...his work place is actually the House of Commons.....
As do I when I go to my cottage....but then I remember that this douchebag told everyone to stay home.
Is this news? The leader of our country needing a change of scenery? Let him.
This is a good learning experiance for us, and for us to joi the middle class, also its not black face i just love theatre. I didnt grope her she just experianced it differently
Worst PM ever. He needs to resign.
Yeah yeah. Everyone knows Sophie is banging someone else. But keep trying to sell us the happy marriage BS. 🤣😄 Let us know when Sophie finally asks for the big D. And don't mean idriselba BBD
Nice retirement gig
Absolutely nothing in this article talks about travel between work and home or the “cottages”. It is about the airlines and the financial impacts they are facing. It seems no one on this thread read the article.
Isn’t that what all world leaders do? Or anybody for that matter? Hahaha what a waste of skin
His work is at the HOC.
ObamaGate
Of course he would.
He doesn't live there , Sophie and the kids do.
Which 'cottage' is the 'work' one? In the past few months (or more accurately, years) Trudeau hasn't worked, unless shovelling our money out of the CowardInTheCottage's door is somehow considered work. TrudeauMustGo
WHY IS HE STILL HIDING IN COWARD'S COTTAGE?
He needs to practice what he preaches.
JustinTrudeau is a loser
Who didn't saw that coming for the long weekend...
It's another injustice to look at things like this, I remember US President Donald Trump shouting from Fake News, that's what the Prime Minister of Trudeau has to do in these difficult times . Shouldn't he go home, should he sleep at work? he works day and night.
He perceives things differently.
That is correct. That is exactly what they are.
Seek help P M! 🖕🖕
He admires China's basic dictatorship. Moistly.Who cares how this crypto fascist Liberal parasite 'sees' things.cndpoli
This will be my argument when people realize I've been going to my cottage 3 times a week 😊
Justin Trudeau experiences things differently than the mere masses to whom he dictates. cdnpoli
Guy's an idiot.
Of all the things to criticize Trudeau for (Khadr, siding w/ WHO/China, SNC to name a few) this is the lamest one. Come on CTV, grow some real balls.
Might be the PM of Quebec and GTA but he hates western Canada.
privateisles w lobbyist. paradisepapersFM. whatWouldJesusDo stay home at Easter. n/a to emperor. PolkaDotDoor w cbc rehearsed Q's. What's new. Need a revolution
He has to meet Rosie so they can speak moistly...and make her panties moistly
For Christ sakes the Trumpster goes to Maralago in FL. You ppl are so unkind. He’s going to see his family. He’s working hard for our country. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Because it is. Our PM is working hard and doing a great job for Canadians. Sometimes it's like people have to dig to find something to complain about.
Why don’t you people get it? He is better than all of us and he deserves to be exempted from the rules that govern the rest of us. He’s from Quebec you know!!! Stop blaming him for doing wrong... he is so far above us it can’t possybe measured. 🤮
No reason Turdeau can't go to work like a normal man...but he never had to work a day in his life. trustfundbaby
Ya right! Are we really that stupid to accept this diatribe
Bullshit. absolute bullshit Again JustinTrudeau flouts covid guidelines. Must be seeing kids as part of divorce Isn’t the slogan Shelter in place. I wish phuck face would shelter in Syria. I despise him as do many cdns. OUR rights are being violated w/unnecessary🔒 down
Ridiculous. PMJT JustinTrudeau's place of 'work' is ParliamentHill. We don't have a presidential system, but still imagine the reaction if realDonaldTrump shuttled between WhiteHouse & CampDavid & tried that to pass off this lame excuse? cowardofthecottage Canada cdnpoli
Work....🤣🤣🤣🤣 cowardofthecottage worstpminhistory sorospuppet
Do as I say, not as I do
It's disgusting how many Canadians still support this garbage.
Yeah. So do we.
An International Joke
That’s because he is special!
Someone needs to tell that idiot that Child and Spousal support payments don't have to be hand delivered
It is his estranged wife’s home paid for by the Canadian taxpayer. His home is where he lives everyday. Or, let’s make this easy - what is his address provided to the CRA? (hysterical to think he actually pays any taxes)
Agreed.
Wait a minute...this is all based on the assumption that he’s actually working right? I think that’s where the story begins to take on water.
Travel between official residencies. There is nothing wrong here. The PM is doing due diligence for his job and trying to have a family life. This is no different than a nurse in Windsor travelling the boarder on a daily basis.
Fan those flames CTV. You know the word 'cottage' is inflammatory especially to people who don't live in the area and understand that thousands of local families live on one side of the border and work on the other.
House arrest has its perks too
So, to be clear, you're excusing a civilian, civil employee, who travels across prov borders to another household. I thought this was banned? Don't forget the whole entourage that goes with him.
💭🤔 ... in the Jail !?! Welcome to the TrudeauLand 🎪 with or without his 🧦 & LibsOffice without 🧠 ! TrudeauMustGo TrudeauDictatorship TrudeauCorruption TrudeauLiedPeopleDied TrudeauGate cdnpoli canpoli TeamMacKay 💙⚖️💙
Household to cabin.
Jesus, this is the biggest scandal we've got, that the PM commutes between his office and his family? Gotta say, having a hard time getting mad about this one, at least not at Trudeau.
Yep
Not begrudgibg Trudeau seeing his family, however he is blowing the plot. Stay home, do not go to cottage. The theory will be if he can, do can we. Already reading this on Facebook for my part of Que A large no. of Montrealers who have 2nd homes out this way..
Your workplace is closed right now, by you ! It’s called parliament 😡 JustinTrudeau
Two planes, two homes... this is both a sensible position to take as well as completely normal. No priviledge here... 🤔🤔
I though he has been hiding in Rideau based on the premise he was modeling good citizen behaviour by WORKING FROM HOME. Come again how Harrington plays into this? Is MSM so dense?
CTV just glorifies the POS that paid them.
I call .......
They are not “cottages”, they are mansions And 24 Sussex is also supporting his lifestyle. PMJT’s carbon footprint is excessive & unreasonable. His travel between the “cottages” is hypocritical. DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO!
Trudeau sure sees things different than most hard working tax paying Canadians.
CTV cosmetic ass-kissing defense of trudeau
It doesn’t quite work out that way when you live at “work” and you see your wife and kids every few weeks.
Dont believe a word the cheerleader in chief says
Justin Trudeau is an Asshole. Plain and Simple.
I agree that’s fair
Thats a ridiculous statement. A LOT of people are working from home.... so therefore they have that same argument. So I guess it is ok for most to go to the cottage.
Seeing how his wife kidded his ass out, maybe that’s where he lives!
How about his family just stays in the ottawa cottage
Or following visitation schedule with kids?
Blackie works? 😉
Hypocrite as always!
Yup and increases a useless carbon tax as GDP will nosedive by 45%, and then the is the intellectual message the budgets balance themself s. Oh boy Canada what are you doing to yourself? I know Canada does not do well in math but that bad? Yikes.
Sure… CowardOfTheCottage TrudeauGate ObamaGate
Then so should everyone else with a cottage. You live in your work house and you go home to your cottage! Everyone do whatever you want and justify it any way you want to!
We learned fresh m the past that Justin sees things differently, like the young reporter that he groped and told Canadians that she saw it one way and he saw it another.
He’s jumping borders, fn hypocrite
Delusional leadership
He always sees things differently for himself. He is a hypocrite and the media support him. ErinOTooleMP EvanLSolomon PierrePoilievre AndrewScheer
Dear ...had this been a Conservative PM making these trips during this containment, you would be pulling your hair out and demanding a immediate resignation pointing out the hypocrisy. Just reminding you.
WORK!!!!!
Nice spin
When will Canadians realize they are being duped by this drama teacher and liberal party?
He also thinks his groping a national reporter is something we can all learn from. Who cares what he thinks. What ever he thinks is so skewed and warped.
I’m a little confused. Does he have another cottage cottage besides the office cottage he’s working from?
Douchebag.
Of course he does. He is flattening the curve 🤪. I have some swamp land in florida to buy if anyone is interested 😉
JLCWood2017 'Cottages' plural....Outstanding, most people don't even have one,..but I guess when you have two airplanes you need two cottages..goes with the turf...
Yes, that's completely the logic that an ethically challenged, narcissistic halfwit would use.
COWARDTRUDEAU CowardInTheCottage TrudeauDictatorship TrudeauNotFitForOffice TrudeauGate Liberals
Is there any chance this idiot could stay there and never return. Trudo is an idiot I don’t even want to spell his name. No chance he could get this thing .Overspending Savecanada
CowardofCastreaucottage
JustinTrudeau sees this as acceptable...
ahhh, the irony, do as he says not as he does
Work? He works? He is nothing more than staged with famous soft hands... and socks.
We should follow his example
MEANWHILE CANADIANS CAN'T EVEN WORK!!! This guy..
RULES FOR THEE: While Canadians are being told to avoid travelling to their cottages, Trudeau is expected to spend the long weekend travelling between 2 cottages. We hope Canadians take from that hypocrisy what they will -- and then safely enjoy some cottage and family time too.
Go enjoy his summer place the taxpayer got snuggled all up for him and his stupid family.
Thanks for passing on the daily dose of propaganda. Journalism for a change?
Hypocrite
So he hides in his cottage for 2 months, can’t go into HOC where he may get asked some real questions, but it’s OK to travel to Que (Canada’s covid hotbed) to visit with family but the rest of us are supposed to stay home. Double standards - end the hypocrisy.
Rules are for everyone else not him...
He'd actually have to do some work for me to believe that. Designating all his duties to others is not working
Of course he does. Elitist LiberalismIsAMentalDisease
Why does the link take you to Air Canada news when the headline is all about Trudeau visiting his non-live in family? Perhaps no more federal cash for CTV News.
What a fool. Do as I say not as I do.
But he's not really working is he? He is a script reader now.
Story is gone.
I agree.
Wow really
Link to this story broken - has it been removed from your site?
He always sees things differently than the rest of us.
Story needs updating - Trudeau family not staying in main house at Harrington Lake, it's being renovated, but instead a newly built $2.5M 5,000 sq ft cottage. Have yet to see outside pic of this new building but Sophie has posted many inside ones on FB & Instagram. It's lovely
Haha so to all yall working from home with cottages JT said it was A OK 👌🏻 to travel from one to the other ;)
Let it be.
Agreed!
Why does a PM require a lake house? CEO positions don’t come with a lake house and multiple residences. Time to get real about what elected officials need vs want! TrudeauMustGo
Worst P.M. and government in Canadian history, lying, corrupt, fake, divisive, racist P.O.S.
Exemption for JustinTrudeau and Liberals and then rules for the rest of Canadians.
Great click bait! And cue the petty idiots in 3, 2, 1...
Trudeau sees his ongoing and continued [ETHICS] violations as ethical and legal. Guess even FakeBreakingCTVNews believes the same. This man is a criminal!
grow some balls and report on the Trudeau separation.
His workplace isn't his cottage. Why isn't he living in Sussex house?
Just FYI You’ve linked the wrong article
Yeah, he has different rules for the rest of us
So he considers the 30 minute presser as work? TrudeauWorstPM
Snake oil salesmen show as always do as I say not as I do. A true leader would not be a low live and sneak around stand up and take the what people have to say
You lost me at the word “work”
Of course he does.... NoFuckingClue
He's right
LOL! Of course..
Wife and kids have moved out. Now around day 45 of a fourteen day isolation. Is there something else going on here?
Anyone else get the impression he does not want to do his job anymore and they compromised and told him he just has to pop his head out for a few minutes and someone else (Freeland, Morneau, Butts) will run the country for him?
They are pretty expensive 'cottages'. If he can do it then folks dying to get out of cities to their cottages shouldn't feel guilty. TrudeauMustGo
Politicians, most are liars, many are hypocrites. Few are respected.
Sieg Heil Trudeau! Nice to know that our dictator is still free to do as he so chooses while his SS are doing checkstops to help spread the disease!! Tyrants!!
Of course he does.
Christ, it’s less than a half our trip, let the man have some family time.
Well with a lot of people working from home then their cottages are also considered travel btwn work and home.
Then what is the parlament bulding?
TrudeauCowardInTheCottage is such an inspiration
And he would be right !
Who cares
Really? This is what we are focusing on? People, ever hear of the glass house story?
Of course he does but screw the rest of us.
Cool. I see him as the man who ruined Canada.
He is singke and free to explore his sexuality.
Most canadians are idiots if they believe this bullshit.
Which it is. ½ hour commute. Typical for many who live in Gatineau and work in Ottawa. And Harrington Lake belongs to Canada, for use by elected PM. CBC needs to do better
he also puts bananas down his pants
Umm because it is! Oh my people need to stop bitching about such trivial stuff.
So essentially vvery Canadian who is currently working from home and has a cottage at the lake is now free to move throughout their province?
Do as I say, not as I do.
Sooo easy to play with words. Do as I say not as I do!
But it doesn’t make it less dangerous for the safety of all ... eh Trudeau ? ChineseAsset
Trudeau ignored reports from his intelligence agencies & those from the 5 eyes.Instead he relied on Dr Sham’s faulty advice.Then we are all placed on lockdowns.Separating first responders from their families by placing them in imminent harm.And yet he travels between 2 provinces.
Canadaattorney Of course he does. Rules for thee but not for me.
Bet you didnt see that headline backfiring. We are all working fr home, so now our 'cottages' are our HOMES and our homes are our OFFICES. And you should know, as long as people 'work fr home' ITS A TAX WRITE OFF. PHONE, POWER, INTERNET, its all write offs!
Isnt that what everyone is doing? Working from home! But we can't go to our cottage?
I’m ok with that. He should have said so from the start.
Technically, the PM’s place of work is in his offices on Parliament hill. Also, until recently ordinary Cdns were not allowed to travel into Quebec except for essential travel which did not include visiting family who resides in Quebec. But laws and rule are for ordinary Cdns.
cowardofthecottage
giblets_s Taxpayers pay for the hacks at the PMO who come up with this political spin cdnpoli
I agree. Unlike Scheer he is not putting his family in danger
And then I said to the plebes TrudeauGate parodycabinet
Home is where your family is! No different than those living in camps in Alberta.
He’s negotiating the terms of divorce with Sophie.
DO AS I SAY NOT AS I DO
He hallucinates a lot lately
I travel back and forth to work I have no problem with this. You need to find something else to report on rather than bash JustinTrudeau every chance you get.
Are you fucking serious?
He is right
He imposed on us harsh restrictions, but he enjoys the pleasures of life. Also all the money he’s giving us NOT free. It’s a loan that the Gvt will collect back with interests
Be smart say thank you to Ms Tam
Perception can be stretched quite the distance when there's no oversight!!!
Generally what people call work, is a place where they do some work. Trudeau games and binge watches TV shows. Would people rather read a 10 min script 6 or 7 days a week and that’s it, or work 8-10 hours 5 days/wk?
Trudeau is a Joke and the press think he is the second coming! WTF are they smoking? Another fluff piece for Trudeau!
I’m sure he does because, he’s above the rules and we have to take into consideration,how tired he must be, walking down and up these five steps everyday, to waste and give away money that we don’t have.
So if I work from home it’s fine for me to travel to my cottage as well. Can’t wait!
So, basically you just wanted to rile people up with this non-story.
Of course he does
But he has continually said “i’m working from home” for the pst 6 weeks. Now he doesn’t consider it home?
I think Idris is in town and Cuckboy is going there to watch the show
Same for the rest of us ..
Put a real story out ffs.
I'd like to have that problem.
The man is the Prime Minister. He needs to be kept safe and he needs to protect his family while still working for all of us. I’d say he’s doing that. cdnpoli
Whatever our leader needs to lead us through this crisis is fine by me.
The lake must be the work end
So...obviously he drives himself because security wouldn’t be travelling to their home..and wasn’t this the “summer cottage”. not the residence?
Visitation grants to see kids under supervision.
Stop the bullshit JustinTrudeau. No one cares if you go to the cottage, just don’t expect others to stay away from theirs!
The PM sees that social distancing has done its job and is personally easing back to normalcy. It's time to give the rest of Canada the same opportunity.
Well let spoiled overpaid SOB buy everyone a cottage; this way they don't have too isolate...throw in a cook like he no doubt has, as an incentive $$$ Coronaviuis
Ctv is Canadas version of cnn. Fake news.
Of course he does, well until anyone else does it then it's wrong. Do I say not as I do....
Norfolk county cottagers locked out of homes they actually worked for! Loser gets free lux vacation, chef and free nannies to oogle and grope
As the leader of our country I think we need to cut him some slack but people will ultimately follow their leader, set a good example for everyone.
Lots of people who work long hours keep 'an apartment in the city' where they stay during the week and come home to their families on the weekend. My dad was one of them for a time and I've worked with people who do the same. His 'apartment' just happens to be Rideau Cottage
So no big deal.
staines_andyjoy Separated Cowardofthecottage granted visitation rights on long weekend, crossing provincial borders for nonessential reasons.
He's working? If you want to call it work, he's working at his residence already.
Lol...turd polishers. How about call him out for what he is... a coward. The only leader in the free world hiding in his house while his people do what they can despite his lockdown to keep this country running.
It is. I hate him but this is not news
Nothing wrong with it. I would be reporting the fact that JT works 30 minutes from home but chooses to stay at work rather than go home everyday have supper & be with his family. That is weird!
2 sets of cooks, maids, chauffeur's, RCMP body guards, etc. during a pandemic.... But still, the man deserves to see his children at least every 2nd weekend or whatever the court orders.
Quarantine for thee, not for me.
Then let's not judge those that go to their own cottages or visit their families.
The same can be said foe every cottage owner working from home .
Work?!...... 🤣😂🤣😂 AS IF!....
BS!!! Trudeau can stop hiding now and get back to work.
The stuff this guy makes up.
See the problem is that he thinks he works 😂
Good
The commute is under 30 minutes. That’s less than my usual commute to work. THIS IS NOT NEWS. Do better
Isn't it a 30 minute drive? Why is this news
Hey CTV him and sophie have separated so that's why he is relaxing this ban! He need somewhere for her to go! When are you reporting this
Justin is the greatest, wisest, most super intelligent, awe-inspiring leader any nation has ever seen. Canadians should thank him every day for giving us the pleasure of being ruled, I mean led, by such man-above-all-men. The world would not survive without his leadership!
Why is this even a heading OR a story! Our Gov’t is running OUR Country during a Global Pandemic. Find something newsworthy please!
There are bigger things to focus on. Let the man have a break. We all have to learn to live with this in a new way.
This is the douchiest clickbait headline i have ever seen. Let the man visit his family.
Such inspiration.
