Man, I can't be more proud to be Canadian right now. True north, stay strong my families and friends.

i was a hardcore right wing maga canadian idiot for the last 6 years (covid) and i cant believe im saying, LETS GO JUSTIN!!! trump has shown his true colors and i cant believe i was so blind. its a cult. it really is

A True President standing tall FOR his people.

Thank you so much Mr Trudeau for your strong and true words against the Kremlin's puppets who create chaos everywhere

This is HOW a TRUE leader WORKS - ENSURING the WELFARE and WELL-BEING of his people or CONSTITUENTS. HAIL Mr. Trudeau! I'm JEALOUS!

Proud to be Canadian. Best country in the world! Justin Trudeau much respect ? oh Canada ? ?? true, north, strong ? and free.

Dear Canada. Please build a Wall. The US should be treated like the 3rd World Country leadership is acting like. Sincerely a True Patriotic American.

Trudeau, Zeleninski, example of true world leaders!

Trudeau is a true masculine leader, trump is a alpha male, just barks.

Trump wants a weak America to be easy taken by Russia for his Russian friend! Many Americans are stupid they won't know whats going on! A lack of education in America! True!

Interdiction is a nobel cause, but cannot work. History shows this to be true.\nIf the market is there, it will be supplied until those that desire it are either gone or no longer buy it.\nI support Canada over my own U.S. because thats what i believe is right.\nPull the band aid off fast, close the border, all import/exports shut off.

I guess it looks like that this will show the world who the fake leaders are and who exactly the true and worthy leaders are. At this crossing point exactly. It is going to show it all, to everyone. All you have to do it open your mind and your eyes and see. But after that! Let's make it last as Short As Possible!

A great speak from a true leader.\nMy big respect and a true thanks to a leader that speaks so all can understand the serious problems we all are forced in to \nBecause Donald dont know what he is doing

Elbows up Canada! We will not be pushed around! The rest of the west is the best of the west. We need to decouple from this wannabe dictatorial regime and find true allies in Europe, Oceania and East Asia!

TRUMP launched this trade war. NOT the American people. But we, true and patriotic Americans, who denounce Trump need our allies to stand firm against Trump - even if it hurts us. The only way for us to be able to take Trump down is to convince his supporters that he is wrong and that his actions are destroying America.

Why keep on talking just do what you want. Person who talk to much no knowledge and afraid to face reality. Please stop telling true lies speech.

well done mr Trudeau!!! the true North American spirit!!!

True do is on his way out, his noise is useless

This is how a TRUE LEADER talks. Trump is a joke!!! ? Respectful and clear sentences!

The True North Strong and Free! Stay Strong Canada. Elbows Up!

True Americans stand with all people who are fair, honest and DEMOCRATIC in their thinking...that includes the people of Canada and Mexico. I'm not altogether certain about the Chinese but we'll see if or how this impacts them and the reaction from there. That BUM knows precisely who those tariffs will benefit and it's not the people who work so hard in order to live their lives. I'm not crazy about Free Trade either but it is what it is.... This is retaliation...pure and simple. Anyone who crosses him will live to regret it...he'll make certain of it. He must be stopped and stopped NOW!

He was 99% true. The one thing he got wrong is that Trump is not smart, he is a complete idiot. History will remember Trump as the worst, the most corrupt, and the stupidest President we ever had.

A true leader.

Thats not true 30% of cocaine trafficked into the usa is from canada the other 50 is south and the remaing 30 is china so it is correct they just mad

I am an American who envies Canadians, Ukrainians and other Europeans for having true leadership. ?

This is a dark day for Americans. True Patriotic Americans stand with Canada.

Elbows up!!! From a true American.

No one person should have as much power as the President of the US. Even before Trump this has been true. Now we are reaping the horrors of Congress ceding their power bit by bit over the past 50+ years.

Thank GOD you’re still Prime Minister Justin. Very proud Canadian I’ve always been but even more now. My Dad fought in WW2 he fought for our freedom then We all will now. OUR TRUE NORTH STRONG AND FREE

Justin Trudeau being a true leader here. Good for Canada.

A true leader.

?????? True and strong. Bring it.

Trump is a true moron.

The Prime Minister of Canada of Justin Trudeau Trudeau is a true leader that Trump should pattern INSTEAD of Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. \nAs an American in the USA, I stand by Canada and Mexico and will support you both $$$ and travel to your beloved countries!!!

Canadian here, thank you for the support in these comments. Canada will remain the true north strong and free! Time to remind the Americans how Canadian deal with fascists. As we did on DDAY when Canadian forces were the first ones around the Nazi Flank, a similar evil arises and Canada will not relent.

True Americans stand with the Canadian people.

You mention that Americans are 30% more expensive than Canadians but you dont mention that the US is far more unequal with a Gini coefficient of 0.41 vs 0.35 in Canada. Now there is also a known issue with using GDP data to calculate productivity and that is that in sme countries the labor of GDP is much lower than in others. You then end up with Irish productivity being the second highest in the world only because most large US corporations operating in the EU register there to pay lower taxes but most of that revenue is just on paper for Ireland. or with Guyana whose oil and mining revenue makes it productivity equal to that of the US. Maybe that is the case, but is it? and if so why is the average wage in Guyana so much lower? so choosing only one specific stat can make any point of view seem true. you have to look at the bigger picture.\nnow the issue is Canada has been getting more unequal but it is still much better than the US. so what it means is that the higher worker productivity in the US benefits corporations and billionaires far more than it benefits the average American. now if we compare cost of living say between NYC and Toronto:\nCost of Living in Toronto is 37.5% lower than in New York, NY (without rent) \nCost of Living Including Rent in Toronto is 47.1% lower than in New York, NY \nRent Prices in Toronto are 59.2% lower than in New York, NY \nRestaurant Prices in Toronto are 34.5% lower than in New York, NY \nGroceries Prices in Toronto are 33.0% lower than in New York, NY \nLocal Purchasing Power in Toronto is 7.2% higher than in New York, NY \nand this is similar when comparing almost all large Canadian cities with a comparable US one. And whilst housing and NIMBYIsm is real issue you have very similar issues in the US which also has almost no mix zoning. But throw in safety nets and go ask Canadians if they want to change for the US system. I doubt most will. Sure some want things to change but some assuming everyone wants an ultra capitalistic society. most are ok with less growth ut better balanced growth (the exact opposite of the boom and bust US model)

Stop calling palastines victim.\nIt is not true . Victims dont kill dont rape ets ets.

Real Estate issue are not a true issue, we are just unfortunate generation where population boomed. After this, when the old die away, a lot of real estate will become available..

Only direct neighbor? I guess this may become true some day if Texans ever get their way and successfully leave the nation... But until then, I'm pretty sure mexico still exists ?

4:30, no, I will bet literally anything that the majority of Canadians do NOT own real estate. What a stupid claim. There is NO WAY this claim is true in any meaningful way.

The fact that Canada was introduced as the 51st state in this video just made me laugh. Like if we all joke about it long enough, it will come true.

You said there's no reason that people would pick Canada over the US but given the current political and sociological climate in the United States that's not true anymore.\n\nPeople want access to healthcare, paid parental leave, a social fabric that isn't toxic, access to women's healthcare, lack of gun violence, consumer protections etc.\n\nJust like many Europeans won't leave Europe for the US, many Canadians won't either, especially now.

I just heard cannadians are more united than ever because of trump and are more likely to vote the same liberal party that has been ruling the country for past 10yrs .I dont how much of it is true but canadians should vote for people that will take care of its citizens.

As a Canadian this is all true! The worst part is Canadians are not talking about this and like a frog being boiled alive we won’t know we are dead till it’s too late.

I find it very funny that people who were immigrants in the past hate the new immigrants.\nThe only true Canadians are the Asian aboriginals who lived on Canadian lands before Canada was founded.\nAnd as a Japanese born in a country with thousands of years of history, I can't see any culture worth preserving in Canada with such a short history other than that of the Asian aboriginal people.\nSo there is nothing wrong with Canada ceasing to be a white country and becoming a country of new ethnic groups from outside Europe.\nCanadians of European origin who complain about immigrants should realize that they are immigrants too.

It has been proven the benefits are greater when returning to home country, not only for them but for their country. True changes to the country.

It’s true what they say about democrats and criminals, birds of a feather flock together.

A few years ago, I was in the ME for about a year, travelling through different countries. The Arab countries didn't want the Palestinians to live in them. They were only allowed visas to cross them. Don't know if this is still true.

A true british warrior here.
