THE CANADIAN PRIME MINISTER HAS MORE BIG BAL*S THAN THOSE PUPPET REPUBLICAN LEADERS TO CRITICIZE DONALD TRUMP!

Another awsome speech from Prime Minister Trudeau. A great leader for the past 8 years did the best to run a Country through Covid 19 and many other challenges. I am Proud of being a Canadian. ??

F yeah. We need leaders like this, here in the US. Where are our elected Dems? Maybe moving to Canada, out of this shithole 3rd world terrorist state, would be a good idea.

Canada you should keep Trudeau as Prime Minister.. He's a great leader.???

You have got to be kidding right? Trudy looks like what he/she is. Weak. Clueless. Worthless. When he got fired did he accept that or did he keep spending Kanadian money on useless projects? He went on a celeberety tour instead of working with the US to address the problems he created. He played around, posturing and looking like a total I D I O T and then when he FAILS to meet the requirements to avoid tariffs, and he gets hit with them, he does this kind of worthless crap? This is NOT a leader.

Now this is how an intelligent and reasonable leader gives a speech! I know Trump doesn't understand how tariffs work, but how can other Republicans in Congress agree to starting trade wars with our closest allies? Russia and China probably can't believe their good fortune. Trade wars with your allies, Trump crapping on NATO and then hanging Ukraine out to dry. How is this allowed to happen? Things are going to get much, much worse.

I’m jealous, Canada, Mexico and throughout Europe, they have real, honorable and sensible leaders. Meanwhile, we’re stuck with Dumb and Dumber

It’s great having a leader who can think and speak in complete sentences.

Trump is playing 4D Chess calling out the world’s dumbest leaders first. Then he will let them bury themselves just like Zelenskyy and this Canadian Wanker.

Every country is an adversary to trump - except Russia and North Korea ….\nHe is tearing the Uas and the world apart.\nAn absolute disaster of a leader

That's a leader ????

Intelligence in a leader on display

Look at Trudeau trying be a leader. And our democrats are eating it up. ???. If you don’t want the tariffs then make the deal to a fair trade. We give more money to you because of past trade deals.

With an election on the way for the Leader of the country and a federal election on the way, I wouldn't listen to or negotiate with a government likely on their way out, I'd just wait them out.

Prime Minister Trudeau, thank you for showing the world how a true gentleman and leader talks to the leaders of another country in spite of the irrational, immoral and turncoat actions from a former Ally; our (?) new MAGA President Donald Trump. It's so surreal that this narcissistic, psychopathic person actually won the Presidential election (again). All I can say is I am sorry, embarrassed, and ashamed of my broken country's politicians in Washington, D.C. at present. Many more Americans support the democratic policies than the anti-democratic that Trump's regime is spouting all around the world. Just know this isn't what most Americans believe and we don't support his thoughts and actions. We are trapped in this nightmare that makes no sense. We hope this is just a temporary change. These new policies benefit no one but the oligarchs of America (and world). I guess we are just going to have to take our punishment for the few years for not being able to prove that these people in Washington care NOTHING for anyone, including their own constituent, and are hell bent on taking down and destroying our American, Democratic way of life and we, the people, are helpless to stopping it dissolve and crumble. Thank you Canada for always being such great neighbors. Good luck, peace out!

This is what a leader is.

Thank you Prime Minister for this !! I can’t believe that the Leader of the Free World has now become a puppet of Putin. So proud to be a Canadian. I will no longer buy products from the USA or visit as long as Trump is President

Trudeau is serving the final moments of his last term, but his approval ratings shot up since the Trump presidency started. Trump genuinely such a crappy leader than other leaders with approval ratings in the dirt are gaining support for going against him. As an American, it’s damn amazing. I hope the next PM of Canada keeps up the same energy and doesn’t concede to the US. Things won’t get better until the world sticks it to us, because the world turning their backs on us is the only thing that’ll get through the thick skulls of anyone who still supports Trump.

Canadian, you have to be proud of your self that you've got a good, smart, and polite leaders

THIS is a leader

Thankfully on leader in North AMERICA has the balls to stand up to trump,putim and vance .As well as the rest of the world or just give in looking scared and weak .

Our president is a Fool! This man is an Intelligent Leader who knows how to carry a conversation.

As an American i want world leaders to talk to Americans and share how we can solve this. They won't listen to us. South Korea shared with us how to get rid of a criminal leader.

This world need more young leaders like this guy. Fu*k old fart dictators like Trump and Putin. Trump and Putin is a big risk for this world, they lived their lives already, they are not afraid to use nuclear bomb, as they have nothing to loose.

I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO PROUD TO BE A CANADIAN!!! Thank God for our AMAZING LEADERS who are standing up TOGETHER for this beautiful and KIND country we call Canada ?? ??????????????

Insignificant Canadian leader, go and cry about it. ?

As an American I support Canada's stance. They are standing up to a bully and we need more brave leaders to do the same.

As a leader, you are never remembered for what you compromised on. You are only remembered for what you stood for. When it comes to passion, purpose, and causes, there are ideas we are willing to live by, but as a leader, there are causes and beliefs we are willing to die for. \n You are a great leader Trudeau, not a liar but a man of integrity.\nDr Charles Holloway PhD

We are so sorry, Canada?. We love you despite our asinine leader.

Trudeau speaks as a leader where as trump speaks like kindergartener

Where are the MAGA to defend their cult leader? Awfully silent these days. Bring it maga and tell me how allying with Russia is making us great

An intelligent and presidential speech…. This is the sort of attitude and vision we need from our world leaders. Gives one a little more faith in politics…\n\nShame on Trump and his administration..

I have always been a proud American citizen. My paternal side of my family has been traced back to the Mayflower and I have ancestors and family that have served in the Revolutionary War, the American Civil War, WWl, WWll, Vietnam, the Gulf, and Afghanistan. This country has made many mistakes and has had much shame throughout its existence for various things but this is the first time and U.S. president has turned his back on our friends and allies in favor of an evil authoritarian leader named Vladimir Putin who strokes his massive ego and gives him elusions of power and respect from Putin when in reality Putin is playing Trump like a fiddle. The New York Times was not right. Donald Trump is not a bright guy. I stand strongly with my friends in Canada ??.

Pierre Elliott Trudeau spoke like a real respectful world leader! Hey Dumb Donald maybe u can learn a few things or two ! Dumb ASS!

what a great leader ....... what a great country GO CANADA !!!

Today, I heard a true North American leader who very aptly described the situation leading up to these silly tariffs, the actions his country took to avoid the tariffs. P.M. Trudeau openly spoke of the changes that the wannabe Orange Julius threatened and why the U.S. wasn't being realistic. \n\nI know some people criticized the Prime Minister recently, but you have a great politician who is actually defending his country!!! Unite behind him and kick MAGA's arse!

Wow that's how a real leader talks

12:43 notice how CNN won’t just let you listen to the uncut speech and makes sure they spoon feed you an opinion halfway through. Trudeau is a terrible leader, please open your eyes and think deeply about what he says. Don’t just immediately agree because he matches your anti trump bias

If I could have one wish for the world, this guy should be leader of the soon gone free world ✌️

I’m an American and I have to say that it is refreshing to hear truth come from a leaders mouth. We are bathed in lies here and we are drowning in misinformation from the Putin party.

Wow. This is the kind of leader our world need. Very impressive speech.

PM Trudeau is how a leader should speak and act.

Trudeau is a real leader not a blustering and inarticulate bully like Trump. An excellent speech.

lol Fidel Trudeau on his way out after selling out Canada and giving his buddies billion dollar kickback deals (corruption and treason) scolding us? You chose a weak leader who has took you to the ground with him.

What a big difference between the speaches of DJT , Trump is trying to get Americans to believe that he is the savior of the USA. Justin Trueau is an intelligent and serious leader of Canada - compliment! \nHe stumbles along with a very limited vocabulary in his speeches, speeches in which any normal person can hear how little intelligence and substance there is behind these words. \nNow he is blackmailing the victim of the Russian war instead of the perpetrator, just as he is sacrificing everything the free world stands for for his confused fantasies. \nHe is now even demanding a third term in office, although in the first few days he has already brought more harm to the people than any president before him. \nThis is the direct path to a dictatorship in the Putin model.

THAT is a real Leader, I am so looking forward to the end of the next 3.75 years. Themost shameful 4 years of American leadership.

Trudeau calling Trump *smart* after he referred him as *Governor Trudeau* , is an ultimate virtue of a political leader who always remembers that he has the entire nation on his shoulders.

Spoken with professionalism as a leader without getting ignorant, bullishness and disrespect. Thank you sir! Shame on our Oval Office here in USA.?

Never thought Trudeau would be the most respectable of two leaders

My country I have never been more proud of our leaders than I am today! ?? Civilized, clearly articulated intelligent speach like our fellow Brits, France, Germany ect! \n\n That IS what it looks and sounds like to be a civilized leader of a country! No name calling, gaslighting, intimating, aggressive lies! All truth! All facts! And all the Canadian way! ???????????? ect Unite!!
