The Lima Group met in Ottawa and signed the Ottawa Declaration to oust President Maduro from power in Venezuela. 13 conservative Latin American governments, plus Canada, officially recognized Juan Guaido as the transitional President of Venezuela and accepted Venezuela’s membership to the Lima Group. 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.

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?
