This is a leader

Listening to him speak makes me so sad . Why can’t we have such a composed and articulate leader? This is so crazy

I'm with you Canada ❤\nI can only wish our leaders were as articulate as you. Thank you for not backing down.

As a Canadian, we love everyone! Except bullies and people that create wars and attack innocent people. I have nothing against people from U.S or Russia. I disagree with there leaders however. I don't like our leader but when you start a fight I always was told to never back down. Trump doesn't want to work together. He wants to crush everyone and destroy. NUTS! Canada will fight a bully always. We are also the friendliest people in the world.. Just don't piss us off!

Well look how smooth and very adult this Canadian leader is speaking to his people at least they haven't lost their morale?

Respect ?❤️Real wise Leader against false megalomaniac puppet of psychopath -wladmir

I am not republican or democrat and not a blind supporter of any leader. I criticize Trump as well-BUT - No one damaged Canada as much as this guy! He did so bad that he had to resign- he’s not even worthy of being the leader of Canada! He is simply using the opportunity to cover his incompetence! PATHETIC! This guy is embarrassing himself and his country!

I never thought I would be proud of my Prime minister. But Today I stand tall and proud with my government, and feel bad for my brothers and sisters south of us who didnt vote this felon back in. He disrespected so many people in so little time its impressive that some people lacks intelligence and still think he is a fit leader for the free world.

What a speech. So refreshing to hear a leader speaking and addressing the President and the American people. All Canadian should be proud. Go ?? Canada John NZ\nJ

Spoken (in TWO languages) like a leader who gives a cr@p about his country.

WOW! THAT'S A LEADER!!!!!????????????????????????????

THIS IS A LEADER! This is how a leader should speak. Without an ounce of arrogance but full of factful compassion. Truth be told, Mr Trudeau is one of my favourite leaders of a country. He may have issues, but which leader doesn't right. Look at what Trump is doing now. Great speech, Sir. I feel so proud of ??.

Please keep in mind, that all the issues we have in Canada are because of Trudeau. He's been in power for almost a decade. The widespread drug abuse and crime is because of him being weak on policy and handing out drugs like candy paid by tax payers. More people died from fentanyl in Canada than our soldiers in WWII. That is all on his watch. He is only making these changes because of Trump. What kind of a leader is Trudeau to only become Canada first when a person from outside the country threatens him? He is a horrible leader and a traitor to the Citizens and the Country we call Canada. Regardless of what his speech is, he cannot be trusted with his globalist agenda. He has stepped down (thank goodness!!) and Canada is looking forward to having Pierre Poilievre as our PM.

Dumb Donald beach slapped by two world leaders… I don’t think all the world leaders are wrong and just dd & ptin are correct.

Well said Mr Trudeau. How can the Government of the USA stand by and allow this happen to their closest ally. I’m delighted to hear a clear and articulate statement from a country leader, that isn’t spiteful and argumentative and bullying. The rest of the World will stand with Canada.

You are a truly amazing leader pm treasure and I’m proud that I chooses to work and stay here in the land of opportunity..I’m just sad that u resigned but then u contributed a lot to your nation

World leaders calling Trump dumb. Who could've predicted

Wow, a leader that has compassion and a real plan to deal with crisis! Why isn't he golfing? Why isn't he handing it off to a billionaire that paid for his campaign?

I always thought Trudeau is a weak leader but when facing the dictator ,Trump, he becomes a strong leader.

Beautiful speech, direct, to the point and no BULLSH**T\nIt looks to me like Trump is moving to have the US no longer as the leader of the democratic world.\nI think the EU is looking to take up the mantle, though maybe a battle with Russia !

Nice to see a leader who speaks in an articulate, truthful, factural manner. So refreshing! Th donald should grow up and take note. This is how leaders act.

I am beginning to like Trump's idea of Canada becoming part of the US. So that we could have the Prime Minister as the leader of the great America, and we get rid of the president and presidency altogether.

Trudeau is Big Mad. Trudeau is a Puppet Prime Minister, like Biden was, and stepping and fetching for the foreign interest who actually control Canada. Basically, Canada's Government has made policies and taken steps that imposed US Tariffs on Canada. You will need to thank Justin Trudeau, an authoritarian leader who is currently Dictator of Canada.

As the dumpster inflicts damage this leader inspires justice, humanity and belief in kind souls ☀️?✌️????

I really believe that it just comes down to Trump feeling resentment that he will never be part of a perceived 'inner circle' of establishment world leaders. It's probably over that one time when they were caught on a hot mic dissing him with Trudeau kind of leading the pack. Over the years Trump has shown over and over again that he is that petty and all of his decisions have an absolutely childish basis, yet the American people voted him in a second time. I've run out of patience with the American people too. They're not really doing anything about this except saying online that they support Canada just so they can feel a little better about themselves. If you guys want a dumpy predator for president that's your business but I will be doing my part to fight him and his unjust attacks against my country.

Sad American here... You go, Trudeau! I'm with you and Canada! Also love that you called Donald out directly! Trudeau, you are a true leader! Hot stuff! America is totally fucked. I'm so sorry, Canada.

Great Country Leader Canada !!!!!!!!

European here; Trump and his administration completely disqualified themselves as leader of the free world. It will take time to undo the complete fall-out, but I know there are Lots and lots of Americans who disaprove his approach. I am with you and know you are the force for good, as Americans have instilled this in the past. Unfortunatly it will get worse, before it gets better.

This is what being a leader is all about. Giving the harsh truth.

He is the true leader. Lots of respect from Japan.

It is interesting to see how many people believe they are right supporting Trudeau (and Selensky) and not realizing they are too dumb to understand the whole picture. USA can be happy to have a president who finally ends the big Deep State scam against the own taxpaying people. UK, Canada, France, Germany etc. should also have such leaders to save the people from betrayal by elites and Ursula von der Leyen in Brussels.

This American, who's been proud to be one all his, life (but not so much these last few weeks)stands with Canada, Mexico, the UK, Europe, and the besieged Ukraine, and I do not support's authoritarian rule and and stupid, ego-driven economic wars with our neighbors and allies. Trudeau is what a real leader sounds like.

Alot of our now World Leaders are just horrible people and more than happy to cause pain and suffering.

Here's a leader to respect.

Now, thats a leader ?

The only Leader you need to see speak today. The leadership the United States of America needs.

Love you Trudeau! A leader!

Why is a failed resigned tyrant of a leader making decisions on behalf of a betrayed and crippled country??? Canada has destroyed its own country for the past decade.... carbon tax triples april 1st by the way necer forget the most oppressive tax in modern history imposed by a corrupt government on its own citizens what a disgrace.

President trump is a businessman that’s what he does for his people. Sometimes being great at something is not enough for you to be a good leader . Your fellow Americans will suffer .

Wow, this is what an articulate and coherent leader looks like!? Something America hasn’t seen in decades lol

Trump is going to take this land of the FREE and turn it into a dictatorship. Our countries' previous leaders are rolling over in their graves.

He’s spoken what he had to as a leader in this world. He’s got to stay as a leader

That’s a True Leader!!

A true leader. Are Canadians sure they want him gone?\nIt’s time the rest of the civilised world turned its back on the US. We have all been lazy and relied on them taking away the need to invest in what we can do. Which is why they think they hold all the cards Let’s stop this now and all civilised nations that do not have narcissistic tyrants at the lead pull resources together with new trade deals and prove them wrong. Let them implode. It will happen. Let’s not trade with them \nStop buying Teslas too

This might just be one of the most articulate and impactful speeches of modern day history.\nI'm genuinely so envious that the United States doesn't have a leader like Canada does currently. I, like many other Americans, stand with Canada on this! ❤

Love you Canada You did the right things. Kick The Trump dictator leader.

As an American why would I listen to a leader from another country?

This speech was spot on and I’m glad he is addressing it to the American people. Cause our leaders obviously don’t care.

Very impressive! Trudeau is an amazing leader, and has certainly addressed properly to Donald. But of course Donald is not interested because actually he loves to do dumb things.
