I’ve read a lot of comments from people saying “Trudeau ruined Canada” in response to people expressing their support for Trudeau in this time.\n\nThat’s not really a great point.\n\nIf Trudeau hasn’t been good for Canada, but gives a coherent, inspiring, and professional speech in this moment that unites Canadians and others alike, then that should speak so much to how awful this situation is. Huge respect to Trudeau and Canada for not backing down. I hope one day we’ll be allies with the right side of the world again.\n\nWe wanna talk about a leader ruining a country? That’s what Donald is doing right now. Except he won’t unite us in the future with a speech like this.\n\nThis American stands with Canada!

I stand with America but I support Ukraine and I support Canada. But these tariffs have got to go. Good speech Trudeau and God help us all.

Just like with 9/11, the U.S. never wastes an opportunity to squander the good will of the rest of the world. Prime Minister Trudeau, you need not justify all your wonderful country has done and is doing to stop the fentanyl issue...nothing will satisfy the MAGA crazies who refuse to take responsibility for anything, including their enforced poverty and disillusionment that leads to addiction.

Sad that Justin Trudeau has become a good Prime Minister now that he is leaving.

Good on you, Mr., Trudeau！

Wow, this is the first time I've seen Trudeau say sound and good things. When he actually works on sensible action instead of hyper liberal silliness, that's great. He comes across really well here.

Justin Trudeau our Best Actor Prime Minister - More talks and drama BUT No good economic plan for Canada. All name blaming!

Dear Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Canada, thank you for your intelligent, eloquent, and compassionate response to this debacle. Blessings and hope to all the good, honest, and hard-working individuals in both of our countries. May love and logic prevail.

All you US dems liberal cnn brainwashed morons speaking good about Trudeau is hilarious. This idiot has destroyed Canada that's why he and his libtards is getting the boot come election. Liberal woke idiots

Good job PM Trudeau

Am I the only one thinking that we had a good PM, and media really manipulated popular opinion as to which he had to stand down? i mean look at what is going on down south, when emotions are allowed to rule? Trudeau wasn't doing anything wrong, he just go chopped for nothing... sad

Good on you Trudeau, an? excellent responses. Hope all Americans will understand who Trump is not Americans first but for Trump himself and his billionaires NOT Americans citizens .God bless Canada.

Not a Trudeau fan but good speech man. I saw some backbone emerging.

The first good thing Trudeau has done for the country. Now do better.

good for Justin Trudeau for calling out Trump's lies. He is using any bullshit excuse that gives him power to decide things on his own.

Good for you Prime Minister Trudeau and Canada

This is exactly how ALL leaders around the world should be acting & treating Chump-Trump. DJT only understands power, $$, & force; he’s not bright enough nor stable enough to sustain good, healthy, mutually beneficial relationships w/other free, peaceful, reasonable countries such as Canada. \n\nJust one thing Trudeau should add to his comments to Donny:\n“U claim to be a player, but I fucked Ur wife!”\n… bc we all think he did. ?

You are a Very good PM TRUDEAUE !

Good job Trudeau!! This Mexican’s got you and your Canadians’ backs!!\n ?? ??

Very good response from Trudeau...the world is dealing with a lunatic and his gang...Trump

Just to make thing clear. Most of us Canadians do no like Trudeau and most of our politicians, like yours in the US they are owned by entities that do not serve our Peoples.\nUS citizens and we Canadian will hurt, but Donald and Trudeau and associates WILL NOT HURT at all in this, they are already multimillonaires, but us commoners will have it tough. This is the price for electing tv stars and on surnames!\nWe Candians, like you in the US are entramped by two political parties; meaning, we chosse between bad and worse every time, we the People must break free from this slavery asap.\nNew fronts are merging to create a better and decent world, us, the US, and Canadian ought to have a good look at them all!

Trudeau is 10X the man and leader than Trump. The contrast is real. Canada we stand with you against this moron as he drags the US into an economic freefall which could very easily result in millions of lost jobs, increased cost of goods - including gas, market items, cars, lumber and more. A tariff is a tax on Americans. Trump is planning on using those tariff dollars to help offset the actual tax cut for the billionaires. Tuck Frump. Resist the ignorant fool.

Not a big fan of Trudeau but i have to say, lately he's doing a good job to hold his own against the VICE PRESIDENT Trump the orange felon!

Good on Trudeau!!!\n????????

Very good speech Trudeau, unlike tangerine's narcissistic ranting

Trudeau is hated by Canadians. He is no hero. These tariffs make Trump look stupid. Isn't that what Trudeau was saying by calling it a dumb thing to do? It is time for Trudeau to actually resign and leave politics for good.

Trump is sending the world into a tail spin. Just to say he's Putins friend. America will find a whole new world with Russia and China. I feel for the American public who are watching their life go down the gurgler.....even the ones who think he's doing a good job ...won't take long for the peanut to drop in the hole. We'll spoken Trudeau. We'll done canada ??

Thank you for speaking up so eloquently, Prime Minister Trudeau. So many Americans stand with you - our government is causing unfathomable harm and devastation in such a short amount of time. Trump and Musk are destroying so much of what is good for their own personal gains. What a dark period of our history.

Not the people in the comments glazing Trudeau as if they forgot how shit the housing and drug situation is in Canada ? just because he's more eloquent doesn't mean he's a good leader. He literally resigned ?

Probably the most likable Trudeau has been in a long time. Good on Canada. I hope all countries stick it to Trump too. Bullying should never work

Trudeau’s Legacy: massive non stop spending, massive debt, refuse to protect the border and carbon tax. Impeding election because he thinks he’s a saviour and has done nothing wrong!\n\nNow he’s playing a big guy. Good luck!

I’m not a big Trudeau fan but that was a good speech!???

Boycott cnn and Canadian goods. Problems and solutions. Typical lefty propaganda as you tax the dogshit out of your people!! Trudeau you're a career criminal!

Trudeau, you're the good guy. You didn't even bully once... \nCongratulations again, America, with the best president you could have chosen... NOT!!

I could not imagine that Donald Trump will fluently spoke like Justin Trudeau does. This is the way President should spoke. Good Lord what's happening to the U.S. Donald Trump screwed everything.

Trudeau Talks from his heart and that is what does a good president. Very different to those ones that talk from their ego!!

President Trudeau should use his “teacher losing temper” act on donald if they ever meet, that would make for good television ! I remember seeing teachers teach their breaking point in the 90s when I was in skool

There it is which government can screw up their country. The fastest Trump has done more good Trudeau is making businesses not be able to continue working. Reduce how many the businesses work for us and increasing the price of everything

Trudeau is a good leader. Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister.

I will miss my Prime Minister Trudeau. He speaks for me, and I know, many others . . . .we aren't interested in buying American goods. We aren't interested in visiting the states. We are focused, at this point, on our own economy. In the last month I have discovered a few gems, produced by local businesses within 100 miles of where I live. Healthier for my family, healthier for my economy. More expensive, yah, a little. But in the long run, it will make us a stronger economy, a stronger nation.

Trump could be jealous of Trudeau’s good looks ??.

Trudeau is a clown, Canada needs us more than we need them. Good luck with your threats, you don’t dictate US policy, that’s how delusional and self centered you are Mr. Prime Minister.

Governor Trudeau is properly punished by President Trump. Very Good Job Sir. This absurd canadian government should be punished properly. Full support from Canada.

Good job Trudeau.

Funny nobody mentions the Canadian tariffs already in place on US goods. Good luck ruining Canadas economy. When is Trudeau leaving? ??

That's a president. ? No, Trudeau brings up a good point. Canada should be very careful who they allow to buy their companies. I'd ban American corps from it entirely or you risk being taken over that way.

I am an American and Canadian. I live in America. It is INSANE to me that (from what I hear) people dislike Trudeau enough for him to resign, yet I see him here acting respectfully, intelligently, honorably. This is what a good country has reasonably decided to be a bad politician.\n\nPan over to America, and our man in office is egotistical, irrational, dishonorable. His lust for power drives him to split the country and burn our bridges. We are meant to be a good country. We can't agree to call him bad.

JUSTIN TRUDEAU IS ACTUALLY THE HATED MAN IN CANADA EVEN HE NEED 10 BODYGUARDS TO MOVE AROUND FOR HIS DAILY LIFE AS PM OF CANADA WOULD CANADA CITIZENS THAT DEPENDING ON AMERICA FOOD TO SAVE MONEY AND STAY ALIVE NOW TARIFFS ON AMERICA GOODS HOW HAPPY CANADA PEOPLE BE WITH HOA HAS MORE POWER THAN HIS OWN CITIZENS.POOR CANADA CITIZENS MAY CHOOSE CHEAP FOOD TO SURVIVE JUSTIN TRUDEAU EVIL DICTATORSHIP.\nJUSTIN TRUDEAU HAS DONE NOTHING GOOD FOR CANADA AND HIS CITIZENS EVEN HIS EXISTENCE ON THE WORLD LIKE A BULB SWITCH HE THERE AND THE NEXT HE GONE FOR YEARS NOTHING FAMOUS GOOD HE DONE RECORDED BY INTERNATIONAL REPORTERS 0%.\nCANADA HAS ITS OWN HOMELESS PEOPLE WILD ON CANADA STREET BUT INTERNATIONAL PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT.

Well done Mr Trudeau, you had the courage to speak truth and take necessary actions that’s good for your nation & your citizens.. facts & numbers ,

Trudeau is an idiot king. This speech from a guy that has been pushing for the legalization of hard drugs across Canada and leaving our borders wide open. He has pissed away Canada’s prosperity on wasteful spending and his climate agenda. This buffoon has zero credibility. He is an actor and puts in a good show. I’ll give him that. Mr tough guy. He is laughable. We need a real leader in Canada.
