Canada has handled the coronavirus outbreak better than many of its allies, including the United States, said Justin Trudeau on Wednesday, in a rare public comment on the faltering effort to contain the pandemic in the US.

Canada – with a population a tenth of the size of the United States – has so far recorded 8,711 deaths and 106,167 cases and Trudeau said the situation was stabilizing, although some hotspots remained.

In contrast, the United States on Wednesday surpassed more than 3m cases and 131,000 deaths. Authorities have reported alarming upswings of daily case loads in roughly two dozen states over the past two weeks.

“We were able to control the virus better than many of our allies, particularly including our neighbor,” Trudeau told a briefing, saying this would help efforts to restart the economy.

2. Jt has done a great job , along with Germany, South Korea, Taiwan, and others

Making con man trump look pretty stupid now. trumps exposing himself daily how bad he's handled this virus. People aren't buying his and pence's propaganda anymore, they lie too much. trump can't even make sure the simple things get done concerning the virus. They did there jobs, trump refuses to do his. Instead he starts up threatening us again. Canada has a winner with JT , and we have a loser in trump.
