A couple of things.\n\n1. Great that he basically called Trump an idiot.\n2. He blew up Trump's lies about fentanyl coming in calimly and with facts.\n3. He did not call Trump 'President' when addressing him. He simply called him Donald. No title, no respect.\n\nNot a fan of Trudeau, but he was absolutely spot on with this. Go to hell, Donald Trump.

RESPECT - what a speech‘ ???

As an American, this is what a true leader sounds like. Much respect to Trudeau and Canadians

BOOM!!! Love this Dude. Very intelligent and coherent to understand. Mad respect for Trudeau.

Trump not deserve to be respect

All love and respect to Canada from Europe!

I always respect each and individual who services and stand for his country ??

Thank you PM Trudeau for referring to DJT by his first name and not President Trump. He doesn't deserve the latter title!! I respectfully stand with you and your Canadian citizens!! ???????????

Donald has done more to unite the world than most, unfortunatly its at the cost of US power and respect

So much class and respect. Amazing !!!!!!!! Why USA dont have such political people?

I fucking hate Trudeau, but I gotta admit, this was very well said. He said nothing but the Truth. Even though I'm a Castreau hater, I have a little bit more respect for our PM after this statement. Well said buddy.

THANK YOU!!! Thank You for doing what few have done. What few countries, what few leaders, especially our own leaders have had the BACK BONE to do. The world respects you. AMERICANS respect you!! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. I pray that you won't back down like other weak men and countries have. Thank You Canada, Americans love you. ?

I've always respected Canada as a intelligent, polite but tough as nails country. I have not and will not forget how you helped liberate my grandparents by spearheading into their German-occupied country and for providing refuge for their royal family. I can only hope that the special relations between Canada and the EU will become warmer instead of colder like the direction that has been chosen by the US.

Trudeau is a liberal jerk that has resigned as prime minister of Canada. He has lost all respect of Canadians. And who is paying attention CNN. THE WORST NEWS ORGANIZATION IN THE WORLD.

Prime Minister, I have not voted for you three times. I have not really agreed with your policies since you came to power. I have even thought that you did not know when to make a 'dignified departure. And now today when you have literally five days left before you step off the dais for good, I listen to you and am proud. This is what a leader does and says and I give you my respect and thanks as a fellow Canadian.

Despite the actions of the American government, this Torontonian loves and respects his American brothers and sisters. I don't hold this against them, I prefer and wish for a world where we are allies and friends over one where we fight with each other.

At this point I respect Trudeau more than Trump. Trump is a blatant liar!

LMAO I THOUGHT TRUMP WAS SUPPOSE TO BE RESPECTED??? HES A FUCKING LAUGHING STOCK TO EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY PUTIN

TRUDEAU ..... AND THEN THERES trump! WORLDS APART IN THEIR DELIVERY , COMMUNICATION, RESPECT AND RELATABILITY. TOTALLY OPPOSITE ENDS OF THE SPECTRUM. \n\nRESPECT AND STRENGTH TO TRUDEAU IN YOUR FINAL DAYS AND TO CANADIANS IN THESE TROUBLED TIMES ?

Damn trudeau earned back my respect with this speech

Love and respect from Germany!❤

From Aussie land here, that was an excellent speech you should be proud Canada. We luv you guys, its great to see your country stand together total respect. Stay strong for your country

I love this.\nThis is how you talk to the country and everyone else with respect and honesty

Canada, we respect your decision.

Fine speech, Prime Minister Trudeau! Very civilized and thoughtful. As an American, you and your countrymen have my full support and respect. You also have my sympathy for having to deal with the criminal in the White House and his incompetent lackeys.

Great speech Prime Minister. Thank you. And Donald does not deserve to be called President or even the respect to be called Mr. Trump. He is not. He is a Bully. I am glad you called him Donald. I am sure a lot of people have another name for him right now. I am a proud Canadian. I do not blame the American people. Just those who put Donald in power and those who work with him and support him. I love the US and hope and pray we will get through this together.

I very much respect the Canadian Prime Ministers response.

my Sincere apologies from me an America. I have such respect for Canada and have so many friends who come to Phoenix and AZ and such wonderful loyal Canadand?❤️❤️

Trump will leave early, he has no manners or respect for anyone. The way he treated the president of Ukraine was horrible. A true narcissist

I have always been a proud American citizen. My paternal side of my family has been traced back to the Mayflower and I have ancestors and family that have served in the Revolutionary War, the American Civil War, WWl, WWll, Vietnam, the Gulf, and Afghanistan. This country has made many mistakes and has had much shame throughout its existence for various things but this is the first time and U.S. president has turned his back on our friends and allies in favor of an evil authoritarian leader named Vladimir Putin who strokes his massive ego and gives him elusions of power and respect from Putin when in reality Putin is playing Trump like a fiddle. The New York Times was not right. Donald Trump is not a bright guy. I stand strongly with my friends in Canada ??.

Pierre Elliott Trudeau spoke like a real respectful world leader! Hey Dumb Donald maybe u can learn a few things or two ! Dumb ASS!

Sorry Justin... even though I enjoyed this speech you're still responsible for ruining our country. Your woke policies and taxes have crippled the majority of Canadians and you have the nerve to say the government has our backs is an absolute joke. I don't believe a word you say and I never will. If Pierre was in office right now Trump would have respect for us Canadians. Trump despises JT and so do 80% of Canadians.

Respect Canada! From Sweden \n\nUSA are traitor's No more respect from The Western world go hide in asian dictatorships

So much respect to Canada!

Unlike Trump and his project 2025 cronies, The president of Canada is a real and respectable man who loves his country and thinks about the less fortunate, only the wealthy and the countries that is not in alliance with the USA trump cares about. May God help us

Never thought Trudeau would be the most respectable of two leaders

Canada you are standing strong and proud in this unnecessary, unwarranted trade war. You have much respect and admiration from this US citizen and many others.\n\nUnfortunately, our sitting US President is acting as though he thinks he is an Apex predator. America is going to seriously regret letting this man reach this level of power.

Respect to you and to Canada.

Call an election you asshole! Your weak leadership and talking shit about Trump has caused this Turdeau! I hate Trump and Trudeau equally, but at least I respect Trump's strength. Trudeau runs on lies and 100% estrogen. THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT BLACKFACE!!!!

This is a leader. So thankful this man is leading our country on this day. He will be greatly missed. Much respect Prime Minister Trudeau. ❤??❤️

Elbows up! As a border living American, Canada has my fullest support and respect. 50% of my lifelong vacations have been spent in the great white north. I hope to go to Toronto in April. If my cuntry doesn’t ef it up. ❤

Hell, Canada doesn't even need to place a tariff on Teslas....no self-respecting Canadian or really no self-respecting human wants a Swastikar, even the new model SS, at any price.

Highest Respect to the Canadian's Honourable Prime Minister and the good people of Canada!???

I am Canadian, and I want to speak to the USA, as a concerned citizen who valued the relationship that we once had between our two countries: please realize that we do NOT want to declare this as any form of “attack”, that these are solely defensive measures against your current administration’s lack of respect towards us as a people and as a country. \n\nPlease rest assured that we KNOW that not all of you voted for Trump, that there are those of you who realize what your current president is truly doing and do not support it. This is NOT about fentanyl. This NOT about money and how much each country was giving whom. We had a respectable trade deal that we were following, previously signed by Trump. We have always had a positive relationship together, business-wise and friendship-wise. Please also realize that, once your administration is no longer in control of our narratives in such a destructive manner, or it gets replaced by one that reverses this destructive policy, we will definitely reconsider our former relationship and we will work towards rebuilding it. \n\nIt is unfortunate for both sides here. We are aware of that. But “Canada Strong” is our way to remain forever a sovereign and free nation. Nothing more, nothing less. Always remember that.

I like this guy, Canada Prime Minister, young and intelligent. I think Canada should let him lead the country for one more year because he is a good leader and I really do respect a leadership like that. I don’t like Trump, he want to turn America just like China and Russia country.

Does Canada have a Department of Defense? The lack of respect is wild. Donald..? President Trump is the protocol. He represents the office of the United States of America. Make no mistake ask UK and Ukraine to provide defense. Pull the plug no need to be called a predator by your own neighbor... ?

I'm an American woman who is totally Embarrassed for the USA. I didn't vote for him and I have no Respect for him. I stand for Canada, Ukraine and Mexico. We're going to suffer while the billionaires in the white house (Musk) keep getting wealthy. What the hell Trump. Ur getting rid of our allies for being Putin's Puppet!!! I hate it here!??

No one in U.S respects Trudeau the same way most in Canada don’t. He’s just known as being an a horrible politician hear. I’ve never met one person Canadian who actually likes this guy

Every business is all for themselves, I respect to all of the nation which they are trying to do what is best for their own country.

From Romania ?? , respect for Canada ?
