And just why is Trudeau leaving office? Seems like they have a pretty good leader there already.

Mr. Prime Minister Trudeau, my heart is filled with such adoration. Spoken so concise and eloquently as a leader, yet remaining respectful. Thank you for standing up for our soverenty as an independent nation (not a 51st state) and us as Canadians will stand together with you through this unnecessary tumultuous storm. Again, we thank you ?? ? ? ❤️

Canadians are polite, but Canadian leaders Trudeau & Freeland are NOT! Based on how they treated truckers & their supporters, they are vile, evil globalist!?

It makes perfect sense, he is setting the stage to install puppet leaders. Erode trust in the current administration of these countries to a point where people do anything to get things back to normal, and then offer an alternative, whose values all aligned with trumps

He called Trump a weak leader and the world agrees.?

If Trudeau keeps giving speeches like this he may very well be the next Liberal leader!

What a leader. Love ??

And this ladies and gentlemen is the tone and decorum of a leader

Thank you Justin Trudeau. I have always supported you. You have been my leader.

Atta boy... follow your script... hypocrisy in full flight. Resign already!\nNot recognized as Canadians leader anymore.... Git!

This man Treaudeau is far from a leader for all the people outside of Canada that don’t know, he fucked this entire country up economically. But he ain’t wrong on this speech.

Prime Minister Trudeau is the REAL leader of the free world. Canada what is wrong with you? You forced this brilliant, compassionate, democratic leader to resign?! Fools. Learn from us and the idiots who voted the bankrupt compromised pathological lying felon into our White House.

I'm from Canada ?? and I Support Trump!!? I would rather he be our leader then this clown ?

Imagine if CNN and leaders like this were actually truthful?

None of this makes sense. Both countries and their hard-working people are going to suffer on both sides. Great leaders don't try to cripple allies that have supported them throughout history.

Now that’s a true leader. Why can’t we have true mature level headed leadership in this country. We could have but millions of pure gullible people decided not to choose a a woman leader with patience and understanding over your crass idiot neighbor that loves to start trouble then complain you are the problem.. not him.

This is how a true leader behaves..As a Brit I stand with Canada. ❤

Hilarious. An anti democratic leader who has proven to be Pegasus the most single awful Canadian leader. \n\nYou're not polite... you called your own people Nazi's.\n\nLiterally had no idea what he is doing.

Trudeau sold out the Canadien people long ago with his personal greed, woke crap and using the environment as an excuse to tax the hell out of us. Now he has someone to blame (Trump). We need Pierre, a strong leader that will work with President Trump for a Strong North America. Canada + USA = Prosperity for all

very sensible and nice leader. Canadian should be proud having Trudeau

Must be nice for Canadians to have a strong intelligent leader like Trudeau. We now have Trump .. again (WTF). Guess we know which direction the United States is going. Very sad situation.

The sooner we Americans accept that Donald Trump is essentially batshit crazy and proceed to impeach the Orange Menace, the better off everyone in the world will be. Except of course, Russia. The more pressure great democracies as Canada exert upon Trump internationally, the more the U.S. economy (and Americans ourselves) will suffer. The more we Americans suffer, the more pressure will be exerted upon Trump domestically, and the more the U.S. Congress will bilaterally be pressured to impeach Trump. A lot of Canadians might not agree with me, but the Prime Minister is among the greatest democratic leaders of our time in contrast with the USA's new dictator-in-waiting. May God bless Canada and may God deliver the United States.

This is a real LEADER! I am very impressed by Prime Minister Trudeau and very jealous that we do not have such a first-class leader in Germany!

I’ll say first that I’m a Canadian…\n\nTrudeau and his government has been in power almost 10years and in that time Canada has gotten progressively worse—the drug crisis; immigration; inflation etc etc. I find it shameful that it took a foreign leader (Trump) to ignite changes within my country. Are the tariffs fair to Canada? No, absolutely not but Trump is not the president of Canada—right, wrong or indifferent he’s looking out for the US. \n\nJustin Trudeau is a corrupt lame duck prime minister who technically resigned a month ago. \n\nTrump will listen to Canada and respect Canada when a new government is place

AMERICA - Leader of the Free World !!!! Oh, sorry. That is _SO_ 2024.

I 73YO. I CAN REMEMBER WHEN THE USA HAD A TRUE LEADER WHO WAS WELL SPOKEN AND NOT A TOTAL MORON. GOD BE WITH YOU CANADA. AND GOD HELP US.

Holy moly, is this what it sounds like when a world leader can speak two languages with clarity instead of rambling unintelligibly like Trump?

The U.S. has a massive economic advantage over Canada in any trade war—no debate. The U.S. economy is 10x bigger, and Canada relies on American trade way more than the other way around. The idea that they have 'leverage' is just political posturing. They can slap tariffs on select U.S. industries to try and cause some pain, but in the long run, they *will* lose. Their leaders just don’t want to look weak, so they act like they’re standing firm when in reality, they’ve already been pushed off the cliff. The U.S. can outlast them easily.

Well done Trudeau. Congrats on being our leader. You’ve nailed it on the head as to why Trump is doing this.

Bravo, the rest of the leaders need to stand up to Trump also

Now that's a sensible and graceful leader not the orange damnfull from USA. total shame on you Trump, you are nor president, boooooooooo!!!

AMERICA - Leader of the Free World !!!! Oh, sorry. That's SO LAST YEAR.

Nobody likes or respect the Canadian leader in this video. Talk to real Canadians.

Wow! A leader of a country, who speaks and acts like a leader for his people... Currently looking up flights from NZ to Canada ?

This man is a great leader

Zel n trudo.. Are real leaders

This Canadian president is a leader.!!! Canada wont stand alone with out getting world wide support USA have been a superpower for decades and a true democratic country that the world admired. Today this have come to a end. 2025 will go down in history for the year when Americas greatness and No1 econemy ended. The respect and the trust for USA under Trump is long gone!!! For Trump to put tarifs on canada just to make them suffer so trump can get Canada as its 51 state is mindblowing. Trump aint putting those tarifs on Canada because of fentanyl when it comes from china. Tarifs on China is another story but that will hit the US market to and companys. I cant belive the americans are just swallowing this whole without doing anything or can a president do whatever damage he wants without consequenses?

The worst terrorist organization in Canada is called the liberal party and their leader or one of them is Justin Trudeau

What I don't like is the millionaires that move our jobs out of our country to benefit themselves. My father lost a good manufacturing job because labor was cheaper in some other county. Now look at Boeing. Somehow we need someone that is looking out for US! Trying to bring jobs and industry back to the USA. Trudeau is a terrible leader and I'm happy to see him squirm.

after three years of horror let EU, UK and everyone try to keep the war going, Ukraine has laser weapon, France's nukes Germany and Canadian and UK money UK has 40,000 soldiers and 2.24 b pounds, 40 tanks and an aircraft carrier as soon as it is repaired. Go on men do your best. The people of the USA have a new policy we have a leader in common sense and support him 100%.

Incidentally we the American people voted for our fearless leader that's what we want and we're so thankful we don't have anyone like you we already had people like you we booted them out in your next and I hope your people see the truth and I hope that they are freed like we are have a great day and be blessed

All these foreign leaders and civilians that have a problem with Trump on the russia ukraine situation have had years to do something. All talk no action. Suit up and go fight Russia or STFU. At least Trump is attempting to DO something

Now that is a GREAT LEADER!!! Stand Tall and Proud Canada!!!

This is a LEADER. USA take note….

Now this is what a leader should be, highly respected, Trump and his goons will fall don't worry, as I've been saying for a month, emperor musk, Darth Trump and the galactic Empire will fall soon.\nDarth Trump will lose power within 6 months and I feel emperor musk will be arrested with the galactic Empire losing more than they bargained for.

All the European leaders including Canada are a bunch of women, no masculinity whatsoever! And thats a fact!

A true leader, speaking to a true moron.

As an American, who did not vote for trump i side with our neighbors in Canada, then and now. America should maintain and further their status as leader of the free world and free trade. Not try to bully other countries, especially not our neighbors and allies.

First of all you Rogue Thug no good for nothing dictator you don't talk to the American people you go through our fearless leader who also does it back down if you want to talk to us he is our leader and he knows what he's doing and you know very well why the tariffs are imposed so don't act stupid and try to convince everyone

Here's one speech that people will read in the history books in the future. What a classy guy. A real leader.
