Canadians are reasonable and polite but our leader is a moron

..... Wow... Can we get a leader like that?

A real leader. I'm so sorry Canada has to deal with our petulant child of a president.

This is Mr. Leader! Not like that orange powdered wreck.

What's WILD to me is that some Americans (*not intelligent ones) still stand behind their leader. It's an unreal time to be living in the US. \n\nLove you Canada!

I've been watching the news these days. All the leaders of other countries seem like classy gentlemen when you put them next to the guys in the White House.

Horrible leader! Fair trade does not equate to being fair in this case. If you charge 25% why is it not fair in return to charge 25%? \nWhy does the world expect the US to cover their butts when our country can't afford it any longer. Why don’t they get that we are 37 trillion in debt? We can no longer afford the world’s unfair trade. Trudeau doesn't like the taste of his own medicine. He could lift the tariffs on the US and then there would be no reciprocal tarriff. He's only hurting Canadians.

Any chance the US can become the 11th province of Canada? So ashamed and embarrassed to be an American right now. So impressed with the dignity and clarity with which you spoke. In sharp contrast to the vague, sweeping and hostile lies of our “leader” every time he opens his mouth.

Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau, for your steadfast leadership in these challenging times. Your clear and decisive response to the unjustified U.S. tariffs demonstrates a commitment to protecting Canadian interests and upholding the integrity of your nation's economy. \n\nIt's reassuring to witness a leader who can speak sense and stand firm against unwarranted actions. \n\nYour dedication to maintaining strong international relationships while addressing internal challenges reflects true statesmanship. Canada is fortunate to have such principled guidance as we navigate these complexities together.​ #IStandWithCanada

I would love to have more leaders talk directly to AMERICAN people to let them know facts and the real truth. Some Americans listen to Trump. Most of us stand with you Canada. Trump has lost his mind and spineless republican politicians are heppy to listen to him.

Not for nothing this is what a real leader sounds like.

Americans must be in shock. From listening to an adult leader speaking. Other than the child they elected.

Trudeau should stay on until leader until Trump leaves office!

So nice to hear an intelligent leader.

No made up words or insults-- can we Americans even imagine this is what a real leader looks like? #FCKYOURVOTERSREMORSE

Actually, you are the smart leader that shoukd be.. you are very respexted one.. from Egypt I greet yoy

Wow!!!..... now that's a leader every country would love to have.....!!!!

Now THAT is a leader.

Now THAT is a real leader. I say this as an American: F Trusk! We love you, Canada. ??

He is such a Brilliant Leader

Can we please have an actual world leader type president like this again someday?

Thank you PM Trudeau for speaking truth to power. We need more leaders like you in USA.

As a Canadian of Filipino descent, I am very proud how our Canadian leaders handle this crisis in a well-mannered approach - calm, well-reasoned, with dignity and standing on a strong ground. ?

Wrong Mr. Trudeau:\n\nThe AMERICAN VOTERS listened to Trump and chose to vote for him. They are the ones you need to tell:\n\nYOU voted for this leader, YOU created this trade war. \n\nVOTE BETTER next time!

As a U.S citizen that voted for the current President, I stand by our President ? percent. He is the one Americans voted for by the millions to be our leader.

Trump and his cronies are liars and want nothing more than to become permanent leaders in a country controlled by billionaires. The world needs to work out how to thrive and prosper without the USA.

Why would he address him as anything other than Donald when President Musk is the true leader?

A true leader!! So refreshing!????

Fear mongering bs. They need a leader in Canada not this MORON!

Bravo Canada! You know how to elect a leader! Trump and his cronies can place tariffs on anything but they will never earn Trust or Respect.

From an American citizen, GIVE TRUMP HELL CANADA!!! Please make new trade partners and new alliances. Cut the US out and off completely. This is going to hurt Americans very badly, as you say. Trump is sick. He is a want to be dictator. He wants to be like Putin, and like Xi Jinping, Kim Jong Un, and Erdogan! This may very well be the end of American as world leader... This may be our very end.

Trudeau is correct. I am ashamed of our current usa government and its treatment of its closest allies. We are no longer the leader of the free world. \nUnder trump the usa seems to be siding with putin and disrespecting, victimizing and bullying our closest and best allies. He refers to trudeau as governor, inferring he will be governor if canada were to join the usa. Such childishness and immaturity from the leader of our country. Our allies will realign with other countries. The usa has lost the free worlds trust. It will take the usa 20 plus years to regain respect.\nTrudeau is extremely well spoken, calm and states facts. How different from president trump.

I love Canada! They voted a reasonable a true national leader ❤

Justin you have stepped up to the plate you make me proud to be a Canadian I would like to stay as our leader

I don't believe and don't trust a WEF selected and Global Young Leaders trained politician who terrorized his own people and truckers during the pandemic unnecessary lockdowns!! Now he hooks up with all other international wannabe elite betrayers to again work against the taxpayers. The war is rich against the poor.

No winners in a trade war. No winners in a Trump America. \n\nCanadians should be proud of having a smart, wise, handsome, rational leader. Sadly, ours is the polar opposite, a bloated tragic excuse for a president. As one of MANY millions who voted for Kamala, we join Canadians in the fight against these ridiculous tariffs that Trump initiated. We're ashamed of him. This Trudeau speech is very very honorable and articulate and resolute.

Articulate, thoughtful, educated, emotional response. Something we will never get under Krasnov trump and maga cult. Thank you Canadian citizens for at least having an articulate leader.

I live in Romania and I grew up under Communism. I hope I am wrong to do so, but I really feel that as far as the USA is concerned, we are already sold to Russia. Again. POTUS is no longer the leader of the Free World and all of our hopes and dreams about the mighty US being a friend and a guardian angel against the evil empires are dead. It’s time to stand together with the West, work and fight for our freedom, for what is good.

America, remember when we also had a leader that did not embarrass us when they spoke at a podium?

Trudeau is a woke, no-good version of a modern dictator! Trump is a real leader! CNN keeps lying...

That is what another great Leader looks like ?? ???

OH, my GOD real leader

His best speech in 9 years. Sounds like a leader!

This man is no leader

Im so ashamed and outraged at my country. I have NEVER supported this president and his regime. I am a senior citizen and of course i will be affected grately from his hateful greedy actions. \nMr Trudeau you are a leader!

Rational, logical, and concise leader surrounded by a competent team. Wish we had that in the USA… (Note: I watched this cogent speech. I will not be watching the orange toddler’s clown show tonight.)

As a Canadian, I don’t always agree with Trudeau but much respect to him for this statement & the rest of our country’s leaders for getting together to navigate this storm!!!❤❤

This is a true leader speaking, with arguments, facts and data.

Why doesn't America have a responsible leader like Canada? Are we going to let our Country be run by Grifters and Greedy Con men? Take action TODAY! Americans make the choices. Not Insane fools by the name of Trump.
