Thank Justin Trudeau for this. I was born here in Ottawa and live in low income housing. I worked since 16 years of age times have changed. Immigrants need to be sent back. All the people from India have taken jobs at Esso, Shell, Tim Hortons. Citcle K, McDonald's, Walmart!!!

Thank you I hope a lot of people wake up before our freedom is gone

This video is well done and truthful. I just seen a video headline that read Punjabi rapper video “beating up white people” in Canada. Now that hurts. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for this, you are saying what I feel I'm not racist, I'm just fed up, these people, mostly Indian, come here and take all the jobs, barely speak English, are rude and don't care, I'm tired of going to a fast food chain and my order is screwed up so bad, no please or thanks they look at me like I'm an asshole cause I'm white they don't know me, they assume I'm a white male, I'm automatically an asshole,

I want to say thank you for doing this video and being honest...as a Canadian I'm feeling quite sick know that my daughter probably won't even be able to get a part time job to save money for school since I can't afford it on my own. So if it's hard to get a job now why keep bringing people here. Obviously we would have enough jobs since there are so many people looking for jobs...sorry it's all boggling my mind.

Immigration has been a joke for years took my wife 10 months to get PR in 2017 now she is a Canadian citizen contributing to Canada trudope and his morons let in a boatload of unskilled multiple children asylum seekers??? Who now drive brand new cars b3cause trudope pays for their rent the food etc and what do they do ? Door dash skip the dishes drivers they are a drag on society BUT if u need a home care worker to look after our disabled people u can’t bring in foreigners, those agencies are in dire need of staff but trudope brings in door dash drivers thank god that drama queen resigned in disgrace

The people behind The Century Initiative will be very wealthy now thanks to the disaster caused by the mass migration. That wealth will roll into the pockets of the 40% of politicians that own rental properties as well. It's about greed and the disregard of real Canadians who struggle due to their poisonous plans.

Canada did not do it, you can thank blackface sockboy and the ndp/liberal party fot destroying Canada. I thought people would realize this but no, they reelected the idiot party. Canada NEEDS mass deportation.

CANADA does NOT HAVE a 'Housing Crisis". The housing crisis is in Vancouver & Toronto, because we let ALL the immigrants move there. But there are a thousand small towns across the country that need immigrants to stop from becoming ghost towns. The failure was in the Liberal Party deciding that getting the immigrant vote was how to win elections, so they let immigrants decide where to go, which didn't help the country. I should know.. I owned a 28-suite apt. block in Winnipeg (not even a small town!) and my property value dropped below the mortgage cost because more people were leaving Manitoba than entering at that time. I lost my block. Thanks, Liberal Party of Canada.

Omg, who knew Justin Trudeau had it in him? We should thank Trump for forcing people to become leaders. Sometimes strong words and tough decisions are needed.

Donald, in his whole time as a 'leader' (which he clearly isn't) never ever was able to even close hold a speach like this. And he never will be. He is just not a smart man. This decision was a big big mistake. Thanks to Mr. Trudeau for standing up against this characterless BULLY. The Canadians must be so proud of you. I just hope Mexico ( and all the rest of us 'willing countrys') will do the same. I do feel sorry for all the american people who saw this coming and have to suffer now. I hope this all ends well. Sending blessings from Germany.

THANK YOU CANADA ❤. thanks to your government and your people ❤. I wish our european leaders would be as brave and strong as the Canadians are.

I'm an American black man.....I can bet if I was to try and enter you country by illegal means I would be hurt ....killed ,I would never make it into your country you people hate blacks why ? Probably because the hateful white man in this great country of America taught you to hate but hate is in fact in all races, we have enough hate in America so kindly keep y'all asses out of America.... Thank you Mr President ??

I stand with the rest the world as they stand up to this maniac when our own people won't. It's gonna hurt, but we did this to ourselves. Thanks, MAGA. ?

Thanks for the apology. Not necessary. We know you're not all like Trudeau. People in central provinces seem pretty level-headed to me.

Thanks for differentiating us from them and explaining to the less educated people

As a Canadian, we Dont hate the people. We hate the politics. Thank you for your support USA. We love you. ❤

While the US people are suffering, Ca.nada has become very rich, isolated from the world and lives a bohemian life thanks to Americans

Trudeau has had his share of critics during his tenure. But he's always had Canada and its' people in his best interest. While he was forced to resigned as many members of this cabinet was losing faith in him, this is his last week in office with nothing to lose. During these past few weeks, he has been a true champion by rallying the whole country and uniting us closer than I've ever seen. This speech was exactly what we Canadians all feel. Mic Drop! Thanks for the heartfelt comments from around the world.

Thank you for separating the american people from the very small percentage of those in the White House administration behind these actions. Most americans are not in agreement with any of what's coming out of the president's office. He's lost sight of what American really stands for - and that his role, along, with those of his administration, are paid servants. Obligated to SERVE every citizen of their country - including representing and fulfilling the wishes of the people they serve. Whether they like all the people or agree with the needs of all the people. The people of our country don't want what's happening with Canada, Mexico or Ukraine. Or Russia for that matter. As an American i apologize. God bless us all!

Trudeau, I know you will never see this comment, but thank you for having the moral fiber to address the people of my country with such concern. Thank you to every Canadian for showing us what real strength is in a country. I'm so sorry that we are not reciprocating as a country, you deserve better.

I stand with Canada, Ukraine and all of our allies. Thank you for being a mature statesman and defending your country and its people. I am ashamed of our leaders and apologize that you have to even make this speech. ♥️

You guys are all waging war on poor people like me. Thanks a lot guys. You have plenty of money, what do you care?

TRUTH!! The truth hurts Trump’s plan of chaos!! Thank you Mr. Trudeau; Republicans need to hear the TRUTH and end the misinformation! There is no end to the illogical actions that Trump is making but tariffs have been proven to result in a recession. Cutting thousands of jobs of people making $18/hr is insane!! Now, the government can pay unemployment and healthcare for people who were paying taxes! Then there is revenue lost because National Parks and Federal common spaces are closed. Then there was the this: CDC restricted from updating Americans on the latest epidemiologist reports on Covid, bird flu, the chickenpox outbreak in Texas, flu, and every other potential pandemic virus. Women and children will die as a result of this action! \nAgain, illogical anctions along with Trump aligning himself with Putin and every other dictator. He can move to Russia if he wants to live his life under Putin. He treats everyone the same; expendable!

I'm canadian, Just cancel 3 weeks in Walt Disney World this summer. 20 000 CAD$. KEEP IT IN MY COUNTRY. To Donald: NOW CANADIAN PEOPLE ARE PATRIOTIC LIKE NEVER BEFORE. THANKS TO YOU.

I’ve seen Americans calling us siblings, people from Australia and New Zealand calling us cousins, and the rest of the world calling us friends. It’s very heartwarming, thank you all. \n\nMeanwhile, my prayers go out to everyone from Ukraine. We will not be distracted from our continued support for you throughout all of this.

Thanks Pm Justin and his cabinet for the hard they did since the crazy man get elected. All Canadians are with you in this and we will prevail. The people in the comment, Thanks for supporting and standing with us. ❤??

Thank you, Prime minister Trudeau for your honesty to the American people.

This loser was an absolute dictator during Covid and the truckers strike.. he was having old ladies thrown on the ground by police for not wearing a make in an open park.. he is a dangerous liar and thank god he is on his way out. His people hate him.

As a Canadian, I would like to thank every people from the USA against this madness from the Pumpkin Clown, Vancy the puppy, Lutnick the Dwarf and their circus crew. Thanks also to everyone else around the world also against this madness. As for the stupid ones supporting Trump... who cares about you? You're all low IQs and vain anyways. *LET'S STAND STRONG AGAINST TRUMP AND HIS CIRCUS!*

Now that he's on his way out, he gives his best speech ever?! American people, we thank you for words of support. NOW, figure out a way to get rid of Trump and the oligarchs. It will bring down democracy everywhere if America goes down this dictatorial path. WWIII will never be Zelenskyy's fault, it will be your country's fault. Ensure that he does not trample your constitution and find military backing to stay on past the four years if you can't get rid of him soon. Get your representatives in Washington to work against this guy, whether they are Republicans or Dems. In all our countries, we have been complacent, streaming movies, gaming, buying stuff we don't need AND we've elected far too many morons! We need to use the power of democracy to form government to our needs, not the corporate world and oligarchs!

Seeing the support from all the people from wherever they come from, it gives me hope. All the hate is tiresome. Just wanna say no matter who you are, thank you

Great, thank you great people of Canada. Greetz from Czech republic.

Dear Canada, most of us who have half a brain, are disgusted about not only tariffs but everything else that is being destroyed. Hopefully, this will pass with upcoming Administrations. We love Canada and it's people. thank you for your patience.

Thank god for Trudeau. It is not Americans but Trump who is causing all this chaos. It is Trump that wants this trade war not the American people. Great speech.

I am a proud Canadian and embrace our sovereignty. We fought in WW2 for two years before the U.S joined our side . Rescued 6 of their diplomats in Iran in 1979. We were at their side in Afghanistan after the horrors of 9/11. Our good people of Gander Newfoundland sheltered, clothed and fed them in that aftermath when their planes were grounded. We sent planes to Los Angeles as did Mexico to fight the wildfires after Trump imposed his tariffs and pushed his annex ideology and making us a 51st state. That was a slap in the face to every soldier who died standing for our country and what we represent. From my heart I thank all of you for your support. We stand on guard for thee....and we stand for the Ukrainian. ❤

As an American citizen I just want to say thank you our president is so screwed up he's taking our nation down the toilet and none of the Republicans will even help they won't voice their opinions they won't help their own people that is shameful so please do what you have to do we understand we voted for Biden vice president not Trump and no he is not a very smart guy Pam or Elon

Thank you for realzing that Donald and his fellow crooks are who are creating this, not the majority of the American people.

Thank you Trudeau for standing up for your country, and doing the right thing for your people. I respect you and support Canada ❤. Trump is not a president, he’s a Felon.

Amazing how so many people have so much to say, yet know so little about what they talk about. Thank GOD trump won the 2024 election.

Our government (United States) cares absolutely nothing about its people. Trump and his boot lickers care only about themselves. Thank you for being the voice of reason for us since we don't have a leader down here capable of respecting the people he supposedly serves.

Thank you President Trudeau! The facts are clear. We have a dictator in power. I will fight to get him out! He has done nothing to help the American people! SHAMEFUL!

The lies, the misinformation, and the senseless attacks on Canada is all we have heard and felt, so thank you for sharing the facts with the American people! Not sure why they want to get rid of this guy but he is what America needs in this moment!

As a Midwest American I despise what our government is doing. And I thank the other democracies in the world for standing up and caring for their people.

Donald Trump, not American people, me, is a criminal and belongs in prison. Thank you for tackling this felon!

I’m in tears. Mr. Trudeau, thank you for supporting the US citizens as we try to figure out what we can do to get our friends back. I’d give anything to be a Maple Leaf if I can’t have my country back. I love Canada because they’ve always welcomed me. The people are freaking amazing and kind. I love our allies because we look out for each other. Canada, Mexico, Europe, Ukraine, etc., the American people love you and don’t want this insanity - not just liberal-minded people like me, but most all of us. Love to you all!

Canada, the American people stand with you. Personally I wish that Justin Trudeau was our president! Although I have to disagree with you, Trump is not at all a smart man. In fact he is the exact opposite. He is an imbecile! Undoubtedly, he is the worse thing that has ever happened to to the United States! The people of America needs to get rid of Trump!\n\nBut thank you, Justin Trudeau, for standing up for Canada and all of your reactions is just! Continue to defend your country. You are doing an outstanding job!

THANK YOU, PM Justin Trudeau, for addressing the American people. I am weeping about the despicable damage the current administration has done to the strong relations we have shared!

Thank you, Justin Trudeau, Canadian Prime Minister, for acknowledging us, the American people. May God bless us all. ? ?
