Yves Engler, Dimitri Lascaris, and Greg Wilpert discuss the outcome

I call gif Venezuela to bomb Canada a little bit and take their oil. Then send in the marines to take their pipeline. Putin hits israel within a month.
Anything goes in selfieland
What Trudeau and Freeland are advocating is a dangerous, sociopathic travesty. The executive branch of the US government has long been out of control.
I’m absolutely disgusted with our government, they are traitors to Canada.
Does Canada hope to gain world standing or notoriety the way the UK did when it supported the war in Iraq? Don't do it Canada…from a brit!
The Lima Group of criminal conspirators were rightly interrupted by anti-war protesters. We hope this anti-war voice will become louder & go global. Despite the Lima Group publicly claiming their preference for "peaceful change", we know that that was meant to placate their home populations. The reality is that the Lima Group is hand in glove with the violent band in the White House pushing for regine change in Venezuela. Trump just repeated his war threat: "Everything is on the table." But fear not. Venezuela will survive. The people will win. Chavistas will be victorious.
WTF! This is insane
Canada you are a puppet.
Wow, seven of the eight people standing here were clearly abused as kids, except for the main speaker. We know this from the fact that the men all have their left shoulders down (normal people have the right shoulder lowered), and the woman on the left has her right shoulder down (again most normal women have their left shoulder down). They are all frowning or have poker faces, apart from the speaker. They are using left-wing words to cover over their conservatism. This panel is frightening but its plans have already been analyzed in advance. We are simply witnesses to their acting. It's a wonder what people would do out of obedience and greed.
Chrystia Freeland is as much a disaster as foreign minister as her predecessor, John Baird, and I never thought that could be possible. Canadian foreign policy in the past had the reputation of being quiet but effective, of the western alliance but even handed, even highly supportive of non-alligned developing countries. The position of foreign minister has been thoroughly debased, most likely to be occupied by those hell-bent to advance their ambition to become PM, and willing to advance any interest that will get them there. This is but part of the great cost of the decision this country made to abandon peace-keeping and to adopt "peace" (read war) -making as the central focus of our foreign policy after 9/11. I fear it's only going to get worse.
Christia Freeland es una vieja pendeja
The Lima Group talks about "democratic countries", pointing of course to themselves, Canada, and the U.S. As an American, as a Vietnam veteran, and someone influenced by having been born on the Fourth of July—I am clear and assure all of you that the United States IS NOT A DEMOCRACY. It is a plutocracy where MONEY RULES. Money elects the members of Congess. Here it is not "one person, one vote," it is "ONE DOLLAR, ONE VOTE."
AND ALL OF YOU KNOW IT!
Give up your hypocrisy. Call it as it is.
!
I think the CBC must have a CIA editor, the news seems to be nothing but bias conservative US propaganda.
It is shameful to all Canadians who value the UDHR and its Covenants on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights as well as the other instruments for self-determination that Canada at one time was developing, that such a blatant indulgence of the neocon pattern of wanting "economies to scream", has to be utterly repudiated by loyal Canadians who have allegiance to truth and justice. Any country that has been suffering from groundless sanctions, and a Pence-selected "interim president" whom the rest of Venezuelan opposition were shocked to see this self-proclamation, and a National Assembly that has boycotted its duties to pass legislation – and to deliberately paralyze the country – all of this should be apparent to sane Canadians.
The Government of Canada requires a motivated population that can develop grassroots engagement with Sustainable Development Goal 16 on de-corrupting dysfunctional institutional systems, and achieving equal justice for all. Canadians have a need to excise the toxic waste that provides the grounding for political governance over the past 4 decades. This podcast provides an excellent backgrounder: https://www.cbc.ca/listen/shows/ideas/episode/15605207
Don't be fooled by the protests in Venezuela you've seen on the nightly news. They were all an illusion. Protests are not allowed in Venezuela. Trust Chrystia Freeland.
LIMA: Lots of Idiots, Mostly Arrogant. But, at least they are peaceful. Right……😉😉😉
This "Government" does not represent Canadians. They are corrupt. They are liars. They are disgraceful. They are an embarrassment to Canadians and continue to destroy everything that Canada has come to represent in the world. "Democracy". Please! I think there is a fair argument to make that the Maduro gov't is more legitimate than Trudeau's considering voting percentage. Thank you to TRNN for continuing to report with honesty and integrity.
limagroup…way out of line with reality.
Only one person I hate more than Trudeau: Freeland. Run back to the USA where you belong you traitorous swine.
What an out of touch twit. There's no protests in Venezuela? Isn't that the whole point of this coup is that because of the "protests" there???
How about a REAL Democracy in Canada, instead of a Neoliberal Plutocracy, before you try creating one in another country?
Lima group…a pack of cowards void of morals. Sick.
Sick cowardly people. Tradeau should resign.
This coup d'tat is about the tipping point in the struggle for supremacy between the "whiteman's world versus the coloredman's world." The issue is about American unilateralism and Lawlessness of the USA led world order; the arrest of Huawei's Meng is international Lawlessness, there is no basis for the conspiratorial and criminal actions of Canada acting on the instructions of the US. The reason for Meng's arrest is plain for all to see, China is so far ahead in R&D for 5D technology that is so far that there is no chance for the USA & the :west" to catch up. The coup d'tat of Ukraine, and now the coup d'tat of Venezuela; are examples of the naked and dastardly acts of abuse of United States military power. This is the time for all the forces for good in the world to come together to defend decent and moral human values. I pray that Russia, Iran, Turkey and China will begin to realize that Venezuela is the tipping point; if the USA is allowed to take control of Venezuela as a vassal client state then the world will be exposed to the USA led criminal group to be eaten one at a time. Russia and China has the power in their own right to defeat the USA crime group. I say to President Putin and President Xi to send to Venezuela 5,000 each ally to help President Maduro to fight off the USA led aggression. Now is the time and not a minute to waste because John Bolton is prepping his 5,000 Marine to invade Venezuela in the name of restoring democracy . Let us get into Venezuela first and be placed into the position of DEFENDERS.
Yeah this this the way of fuking rule of law of Canada by intervening and invading other countries.
Here's the thing, most Venezuelan people in Canada hate Maduro, in fact I don't know of a single Venezuelan that is for Maduro, and the Canadian government only gets its information from groups aligned with those Venezuelan people. This is in no way an excuse, it's just an explanation of how this idea came about.
Trudeau is a a Washington middle finger puppet like Mulroney and Harper. His vision of Canadian political momentum is for NeoLib markets and low domestic wages.
Lima Group, one more association that we now know is a full of shit empire builder for the US. Good to know who the real friends of the real American PEOPLE are.
Hey, our Prime Minister was democratically elected. Can someone please come over and over throw our government? Seems fair.
Justin should be Justout!
Watch and weep. This is the clear evidence that the lessons of Iraq have not been learned. They lie right out in the open. The brave people of Venezuela are going to be sold out and have their democracy taken while these " people" talk of freedom and democracy. They are bribing the surrounding nations aided by spreading BS through MSM . But fuck that.
Can Maduro run in the new "free and fair" elections? Can another from the Bolavarian revolution run?
The answer will tell you everything you need to know about how they really view democracy.
Hands off Venezuela, Canada! Don't stain Canadians' hands with blood!
WHY IS REAL NEWS NETWORK AVOIDING DISCUSSING THE BLATANT US AGENDA OF OIL THEFT .???
THE TRUDEAU GANG IS A DISGRACE TO HIS FAMILY LEGACY AS IN THE HONOURABLE PIERRE TRUDEAU
LIARS!!! LIARS !!! LIARS !!!
SHAME ON THE TRUDEAU GANG FOR DISGRACING ALL DIGNITY, PRIDE AND HONOUR OF CANADIANS !!!
The Lima group are puppets of the US, England and are blind….force will be used and the blood of these people will be on your hands….it’s all about stealing oil and gold. Call off the embargo to help the people of Venezuela. Canada is just wrong again trying to put a real thug and puppet in charge of Venezuela.
No matter how much you repeat lies, it never rings true. You all can unite in wrong-doing, it doesn't make you right. You all are supporting a coupe AFTER you didn't like the results of a fair election that the majority of the international community acknowledge as fair. Also, you all keep telling on your own lies. Thanks Real News for covering this tragedy.
The Western Terrorist Alliance, at work…
Hey look, that's the slave/client/puppet states of the Empire!
HYPOCRISIE MAXIMALE…J'ai honte d'être canadienne!
'This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but with a whimper' — T.S. Eliot
This has to be the most ludicrous, weaselly coup in history. It should die under a tide of ridicule and laughter. The Lima group – joke! Every time they say 'democracy' you can practically see their noses grow.
Trudeau just became Trump's 'Tony Blair' (spelled, b-i-t-c-h).
what a bunch of Horseshit! ashamed of "Canada" for this bending over for the USof@s. But, I guess that`s what can happen when you have a bouncing Fairy for a PM. And then remember Freeland in Kiev.
