Canada does not have a first lady. That's a uniquely American weirdness.
We have a Governor-General who represents the King, our monarch, although he doesn't come around very often. LOLOL! He wouldn't dare. The Prime Minister is not the head of state and his wife is not the co-head of state. The King and the Queen Consort are and they are represented by the Governor-General. However, the monarch's and his representative in Canada's roles have been played down as well lately.
Correct she was just the wife of the PM.
Spot on. Weird 1950's Pleasantville vibes.
A first lady isn't an official office title but the prime ministers wife represents us on foreign visits etc.
@@richardpvancouver7520 not really. Some have been more public than others, but many have kept low profiles or carried on working, like Maureen McTeer, Joe Clark's wife. Ms. Gregoire was a well-known broadcast journalist in Québec before dating Justin, but stepped away from that because of the obvious conflicts. By the way, taking her husband's surname was a late change to appease the Rest of Canada. Here in Québec the norm would have been to just use her own surname, which she was doing until Justin became the Liberal leader.
"First Lady" is a US thing. There is no title of "First Lady" in Canada.
sophie trudeau has mental health issues and it isn't her eating disorder - she's cuckoo
Absolutely love Sophie - I’m a Canadian and seeing this segment - hearing her words said with such conviction - fills me with pride not just as a citizen of this country, but -also as a woman and human being. Thank you for your truth telling, Sophie, and for raising awareness about the importance of nurturing and protecting our mental health.
Wow! Excellent interview. Sophie is very well spoken on the topic of mental health. Sometimes it's nice to hear different views because I think we can all relate on some level of mental health issues.
Anybody living in Canada from the past eight years would have mental issues
my thoughts exactly
I am having them, thanks Justin. NOT!!
Linking this to political scoring, Blaming our mental issues to this story of a marriage and an individual doesn’t help anybody. Our well being, our mental issues and our happiness can only be solved by us. Believe in yourselves ! Stay away from Gloom and Doom clubs and Negative people that evokes your Anger and hatred. The only person you can depend on is you. Take charge of thinking for yourself and Please be appreciative of our Canada . I wish all three of you happiness!
Exactly. They have covered up so much! This goes back to crown corporations, alliances that prioritized US and UK while commonwealth was seen as supply to disperse wealth amongst themselves + those willing to be a part of the secret oppression tricks that have only become worse as the system became more complex. Markles + productions + mainstream media and then extending shadiness into various roles that only flourished serious patterns of harm. One big club. Never be fooled. The difference is now everyone is suffering. People had so many opportunities to do right. They are the shadiest of the entitled club for real. It is unbelievable.
@@sarojinijayamanne8652 is that you, Sophie?
When I stopped “expecting nourishment” from people around me I became a happier person. I think I’ll get my mental health advice from qualified professionals, thank you.
You don’t need a mental health professional to tell you being around people that make you feel good about yourself is helpful. If you’re trying to slight her for using the words “nourishment” as an expectation with regards to those in one’s personal life then so be it but it’s highly juvenile because she isn’t saying anything people don’t already inherently strive toward.
@@barstar888 That’s not what she said. The use of the words “should” and “expect” are very different from the simple message you conveyed. She’s giving people advice, and if she’s not qualified to do so that could potentially be damaging. There is plenty of pain out there from people believing other people owe them things, and being angry and hurt because they’re not getting what they feel they’re owed. Mental health is health just as is physical health. Professionals have years of training for a reason.
Non of us have to say anything or judge. Let it be ! Let it be !
Well perhaps nourishment was the word chosen because English isn’t her first language. Not making excuses, just commenting. I appreciated what she had to say. It’s a conversation and opening the door to self reflection and realization. She is not trying to come across as a psychiatrist, but as an author who wrote a book with some helpful insights.
Unlike the spouse of the American president, who is referred to as the first lady or first gentleman, the spouse of the Canadian prime minister does not have a title.
Sophie is part of the Canadian coddled class.
That's for sure. And this book should set her up nicely for life, I guess.
Why, was she born into aristocracy or is it just because she was married into it?
@@barstar888 married into it.
It wouldnt have been an easy task being married to Justin.
@@sherriflemming3218 yeah. Handsome, charming, sensitive, kind. Wouldn't want to be married to a guy like that.
Yay, Sophie is so right about the harming of animals. Not ok
animals have every right to live their lives, as we do.
Amazing wisdom from an amazing woman. Who ever said that out loud before? Brilliant! 🤮
@@jgriffin282 Amazing woman? she drinks menstrual blood. She sounds perfect. Perfectly insane....
Open Up Mental Institutions
Who will vote for Biden or Trudeau then?
She's just check her husband if hes got mental illness...he has destroyed many families
Congrats on the new book! 🇨🇦🙂
I first saw Sophie on a Canadian show called eTalk. Instead of reporting on gossip and frivolity, she chose to focus on philanthropy and what celebrities were actually trying to pay it forward. She’s down to earth, intelligent and relentless in her giving back to society. Great role model.
She is a phony, narcissist just like her husband an opportunist.
And an amazing inspiration to those wives who are faithful to their husbands and encourage him to have a career while she does the motherly thing 🤗🤗
That’s funny. She’s a total flake who lived the life of a privileged woman who had her every whim looked after and is whining about her “inner child”. Her speaking is a bunch of ridiculous drivel.
@@EthanLomasIt is called rebranding and PR, which much of this was grifted on. These are empty vessels that abuse in order to make themselves feel as though they are doing good, ignoring any clear violations and accountability of how the cause irreversible harm. When this was becoming evident, the reports and expert education was grifted and redirected to herself and others. Influence MUST come from those who actually have full comprehension of what integrity means. When it is clear they have mismanaged and rectified wrongs with more wrongs repeatedly, and are in-stable to a very worrisome degree/ were fine covering for and enjoying perks of a (now declared) poor relationship only when she understood what public and private sectors knew/ felt of her husband...... there ought to be a publication ban (like they do to others they feel threatened by or fawn to hope emulating in secret). These are not good humans. They pretend to be and are so deluded that even their crimes get covered up on tax payer dime, with more crime. The clock stopped. There is a catch up heading her way soon.
Sophie could have shared a bombshell about her experience in a sham marriage, but chose not to.
Sophie Trudeau is cut from the same cloth as Megan Markle. She has never been the”First Lady” of Canada. We don’t have First Ladies of our Country. She was and is just a woke wife with a huge ego. Just another woke narcissist.
Justin probably paid her off
Regarding comments from Sallythurston5780 and Chelsea - It is sad to call her marriage a Sham or to take a jab about her husband paying her to keep quite implies she was controlled and had no independent thinking of her own. I can understand her having to do most of the parenting of 3 children, trying to fulfill her part as a wife of a public figure. She did say that she and husband discussed and communicated before taking the step of separating. Even when people love each other , it is not a guarantee of a happy marriage when partners are not available to shoulder day to day stressful events. To add to all that, was Covid-19. Her husband was responsible for a whole nation’s. Welfare of life and death. We all give very little thought of how senior public officials could have organized and worked to keep majority of us at our homes by paying us to do so. We have come to a point of not willing to understand or give thought to what is happening. None of us need to take sides, get involved or feel we have to judge. Though a non Christian , I value the incident and comment Of Lord Jesus Christ when he spoke about the qualifications to throw stones at others. ( ***Incident of Mary Magdalene being stoned. Second Testament of Holy Bible)
She was with him well before he was prime minister and it was not a sham marriage.
@@chelseagirl278 Your comment is an insult to both partners !,
Now that she’s separated from Justin, it’s nice to see her gaining a platform of her own. She (like all wives of Canada’s prime ministers) was kept largely out of the public eye. She’s intelligent, articulate, sensitive and has a lot to say. Very happy to see this.
Wow! Spot on. You go Sophie! Than you.
😂😂😂😂😂
She is amazing! As a Canadian, I knew her only in the shadow of her husband. I had know idea how articulate she is!
Same
Same here ❤🇨🇦
He was the one who tried really hard to get her to date him.
No she is awful just like her husband
doesnt take a lot to impress you eh?
Love that this is not a 'tell all' type of book interview.
because Justin paid her off
A true leader is always supported by a strong partner, and Sophie Trudeau exemplifies thus with her resilience and determination in facing challenges. We stand in awe of your strength, Sophie, and are inspired by your unwavering spirit!
You do realise PM Trudeau is no longer with Sophie? This book tour she is on is in very poor taste. She moved out and took the kids and they are co-parenting whilst he is still in office. She is being cruel by doing this.
🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ask her why the WE charity money landed up in her bank account

Sophie is not only beautiful, she’s also very smart. “We are one trauma away from each other” I can definitely relate to that.

@@JackieBillyTom she owns a large media firm
@@SnowWhite-hr4ho what?
@@JackieBillyTom Sophie is extremely wealthy already. She also left Trudeau a few years ago and shacked up with a doctor meanwhile living in a mansion provided by the tax payers.
Wonderful segment, thank you all - very informative and helpful
We all have our own natual gifts. With the modern idea that everyone wins at everything and nobody loses, you dont learn how to win and lose well. You also may not realise what your particular gifts are. We are not all the same. The world would be a boring place if we were.
Proud of PM and Sophie. Handling divorce as it should be done.
Who cares he's still a crap PM
They are both awful people
@@sean367and you think poilievre will be perfect? You are in for a disappointment my friend.
@@sean367 Watch Poilievre 'axe the tax' federally to get elected. Then offset the burden to taxing people to provincial leaders by underfunding them. Not building affordable homes is his reason to underfund provinces after all. We're also in a deficit, so unless you think deficits take care of themselves. All were gonna get is more inflation and higher interest rates from Poilievre as he takes advantage of people wanting a short term reward of not paying taxes.
@@oldbeergangster2381 a rotten turnip would be an improvement over justine

Nothing odd about giving them some fighting spirit! Would not be the first time women fight their way to gain some basic rights...
following the money!
I lived in that "muslim" country and then I made a mistake coming back to Canada. Our governments have so much to lean about leaderahip from "that" country.
@@GGTanguera What are you talking about? Canadian women are about as equal to men and free as you can currently be on this planet!! What does Canada have to learn that would better things here?
What a great interview.Sophie is fantastic.
We love Sophie! Amazing human being!! 🙂
She found her voice!! After years with Trudeau. She has a kind of anger in her. I like it
It's highly annoying when people opinionize about things they know nothing about, and even more irresponsibly, stating it as if it's fact. You know nothing about this woman and the use of her voice, and you know nothing about the inside of her marriage or anyone else's. Try behaving like an adult.
She is awful don't fall for her garbage
@@sharonmassey2923 shut up!! Go lecture someone else. Read what I wrote and stop projecting. Seriously
Should have found her voice and let the Waco know that he should stop destroying the country
@@Hometv-tv7wz she's just as bad
May I suggest maybe asking that Gov. who shot the Goat/Dog if she has a minute to come by & take care of the out of control Orangeatang? Woot!
The women who need to hear this are the undereducated unemployed women. This reminds me of the feminist movement in the United States. The feminist movement in my opinion, was started by women of means with power, education and access to independence. Whether they took it or not, they still had access. The women who need help are not privileged women. The privileged are now listening to this woman. This woman is preaching to the choir.
Una bella lezione per le donne che sognano il principe azzurro...che triste
Wow, she is a power house! I love what she said, so true!
Is it just me or shouldn't the Canadian flag be behind Sophie?. She is not the 1st Lady of Canada. Canadians don't use such a ridiculous title
Why is she called unofficial. Wasn’t she the First Lady of Canada.
Canada does not have a first lady. The spouse of our Prime Minister has no official role.
There is no such honorific in Canada as ‘first lady’.
@@62Cristoforo Melania Trump was the "third lady." (not including Stormy and many others)
We don't have a 1st lady. We're a member of the Commonwealth. She was just married to our Prime Minister.
@@markrobinowitz8473touché
"Your needs, you shouldn't expect the minimum, you should expect the maximum of nourishment and presence of the people around you.:"...obviously not talking about her ex at all.
What did Justin do to deserve this
What do you mean?
They met when they were kids. They were in each other’s spheres from young adulthood. But I get you, he was quite lucky!
The snake Justin Trudeau has no feelings for Canadians.He wants only criminals coming in as immigrants do massive crime
I guess you'd have to ask her
Can you imagine being married to Justin?
Bottom line we are imperfect beings….. I agree that social interaction (touchy feely, connection etc) plays a role in our personalities but environmental and genetics are the most influential on personalities., I didn’t hear her touch on this! When I look at certain ppl in the news and the disgusting things they’re doing, I don’t see them as love starved individuals who perhaps were not hugged enough as a child but instead I see a genetic mutation in their chromosomes that’s caused a major flaw in their character thus exposing the severity of their mental health issues
She is talking about attachment theory…stop making your infants and babies sleep alone! It traumatized them
Trauma is a part of life. Modern pyschology thinks it can be avoided and looks for it everywhere. No. Real mental health is about overcoming trauma and integrating it rather than dwelling on it and obsessing on it.
Just say you don't want to do first lady job anymore but want your independence to do what you want by yourself 🤔
I did dear. ✌️
oh please ''loving each other'' as she pens a ''whatever'' about herself. Mila Mulroney is an amazing woman, who contributed a lot. what has SGT done for anyone lately? (Janet Jackson reference)....
Can Melania be this self dependent without trumps criminal money 💵 etc? Bravo 👏🏾 Sophie
She is self dependent because she is from a wealthy family.
Interesting question, my thoughts went to her, wondering if she is made up of something other than most women, considering who is her husband.
Doubt it, the next question is, can she keep her clothes on?
@@tammymcleod9860 and from her WE charity money
With ableist pollievre calling it a “whacko “?
👏👏👏 Bravo Sophie ❤ 🇨🇦
Last person I would take advise from
This is why people need Jesus - ❤. Thanks for reinforcing Sophie
Keep trying to rehab that image, because so far: Not effective.
I like her
she married and divorced Trudeau yet still carries his name for the fame and notoriety to sell books
@TheBrianFellows Are you sure?? Many separated/divorced women keep their married names. Sometimes to have the same last name as their children. Sir,,, you are quick to judge and critique. I don't know her personally and neither do you.
They are separated, not divorced.
she is lucky getting to leave him. we are stuck with him for another year!
You don't know what you're talking about. Her birth name is Gregoire. She married and her name became Sophie Gregoire Trudeau. Give it a rest dude. You sound bitter.
They are not divorced. Many couples are fine with simply living separately without rancor. They are able to have family vacations and normal conversations even if living separately. I know many married couples who have reached that point and are perfectly fine friends.
❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful.
For the street
Nothing against this lady but none of what she's saying is new!
The bottom line is, Sophie could have did what harry did by betraying his family for cash. She could have dropped bombshell after bombshells. I am so impressed that she chose the highroad, it speaks directly to her level of character integrity and maturity, she is very intelligent and knowledgeable. Meghan was after wealth and celebrity.
former unofficial first lady of canada? what?
Right? They need to choose one.
That's because in Canada, we don't have the "first lady" in politics. The Prime Minister's spouse is just that: their spouse. We don't expect the spouse to get involved in politics just because their significant other got elected. Mika probably used that phrase to make it easier to understand for an American audience. But understand, Sophie Grégoire-Trudeau's contribution to politics was mostly as unequivocal supporter no. 1. Her charity work started before Justin was ever involved in politics.
We don’t call the PM’s wife ‘First Lady’ here.
@lyynndenault4212 they are Divorcing
@@lynndenault4212 right. its a weird way of saying it though. why not add "supposed" in front of it all, to make it sound more like an Alanis Morrissette album name? :p
Trudeau has been a wonderful prime minister for Canada and the Canadian people.
That's trolling
He has taken rights away from his citizens and gone full dictator
@@susanfrederick448 you’re free to leave anytime.
You have got to be joking. Sophie would have made a better PM than her ex trust fund baby. That man is inept and he has wasted millions of OUR tax dollars paying his own friends for a failed COVID app. You need to get your head out of the oil sands.
@Scott Harrison Posting my support for Trudeau is not trolling.
👏👏👏👏
Read Alice Miller about the inner child the gifted child❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
Why did she go lecture in a Muslim country ???
People who complain about Trudeau better be careful what they wish for if they are not happy then can move to another country.
Why should we move? This is our home.
Ridiculous. We don’t accept advice from this spoon fed elite who is married to an equally spoon fed elite that is destroying our country and our rights and personal freedoms.
Trudeau isn’t a king or Canada itself. A politician.

Good luck Sophie god bless your life❤❤❤❤❤😊😊
My heart breaks for her. To know that she was all alone when she lived at the Governor General's grounds. She never had any company as her husband spent time elsewhere. I don't know where she gets the strength to carry on while being so celibate :(

Forget your medication, maybe increase the dose.
@@MyHandelsMessiah Not like you think.
You're joking, right? She has apparently repartnered with a paediatric orthopedic surgeon according to his separated wife.
As a Canadian I’m tired of hearing of the struggles of the wealthy. Both Sophie and her husband live in a bubble and are out of touch with everyday Canadians. As we struggle to put food on the table… they jet set around the world lecturing us common-folk on the hardships of their privileged lives.
And many are raising $$ and awareness for non-profit organization that helps you and anyone in need to get... Wait for it... HAPPY!!!
@@user-gz9ty9md4v we don’t need happiness. We need jobs. We need a fair footing in rent and home ownership. Do you realize housing prices have doubled under Trudeau? That food prices are up 35% and still continue to rise? That our farmers are going out of business because of a ridiculous carbon tax? Food, housing and jobs are the 3 pillars of society. We are very AWARE of what’s going on. The question is… ARE YOU?
@@worldsstongeststrains983 Where have you been? Rents are high everywhere, not just in Canada. Most people who have a career or a trade, are organized and financially smart are doing well. It's not Trudeau's fault you're not doing well. Rather it's the greed of the "little" men who are exploiting everybody on rents, food, etc..
@@fatsilver5905 I did’t say I wasn’t doing well. I’m not worried about myself. I’m worried about my country and I’m tired of hearing the complaints of Canada’s elite about how hard their life is while they try and sell you their new book. She’s not a humanitarian…she’s a book salesman using pity to cash in. She’s no different than Trump.
@@fatsilver5905 No, they are not doing well. Wages are not keeping pace with the spiraling cost of going to university so it will take years, if not decades to pay off student loans. If you do not have wealthy parents, you will not be able to buy a home however well educated your are. And when it comes time to pay for post-secondary education for your child or children, how will you be able to do that, when your own student loans are not yet paid off?

History repeating itself. Her husband Justin Trudeau Prime Minister of Canada, she leaves him. Justins father Pierre Trudeau, his wife leaves him. The two ladies wanted the spotlight. Its sad.
Actually no, the opposite.
Resilience is #1 stop blaming parents
No one’s blaming the parents, but coping mechanisms carried into adulthood are developed during childhood, so how your childhood was, and parents are a big part of that, and the coping mechanisms you develop, good or bad, really dictates who you are as an adult.
Always a sad thing when a divorced person uses the former spouse to get attention and money. Attention for mental health yes.. But...
It's even sadder when someone as ignorant as yourself opens their mouth.
Can you give us some examples of Sophie using her ex husband’s name to enrich her own status or wealth?
@@62CristoforoWhen Trudeau's gone, how many copies would Sophie's book sell? Of course, she has to go on the book tour while he's still a name and not a has been.
I like how she is still using the Trudeau name. Helps with book sales I guess. She is as entitled as her former Hubby Justin, she demanded she have staff, when Canada does NOT have a first lady nor did she have any OFFICIAL duties.
To be fair, they technically haven't divorced yet, only separated.
She no doubt gets letters and invitations whether she has an "official" role or not. Naturally, she needs staff.

you'd probably have to ask her , my guess she really dosen't have a problem with it , I think she said many times since their separation that she loves her husband,
