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!

So eloquent and in 2 languages, no doubt. Now switch to Trump's speeches and enjoy the incompetence and crazy. Great speech Trudeau ?? \n SLAVA UKRAINI?? ♥️

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

great command trudeau

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!

I'm not a fan of Trudeau, but I must say, what a great, articulate speech. What a nightmare 4 years of orange baby.

This is a leader. So thankful this man is leading our country on this day. He will be greatly missed. Much respect Prime Minister Trudeau. ❤??❤️

You can't trust Trudeau, he freezes his own citizen's bank accounts. He restricts free speech and says he is stopping the spread of misinformation. His country has suffered great measures under his reign and said he would resign but here is and you being so gullible.

I stand with Canada! Mr. Trudeau is a great man.

Great leadership, mister Trudeau. Didn't always agree with you in the past, but I'm fully behind Canada against orange face and eyeliner boy. Cheers from the Netherlands????????????

Mr Trudeau you are a great leader and unfortunately our country is totally F@$%@D because of one me who is a total Idiot and is destroying the country and I agree with you ?% that Putin is a lying corrupt thug Dictator who needs to be Stopped at all cost and I also believe he has to have sumthing hanging over Trump's head i honestly can't believe he is thst stupid anyways i hope you have woken up the American people and our senate and congress they need to impeach Trump ASAP and have his side kick JD Vance resign before they cuase even more damage you are a true gentleman who Mr Trump should learn a thing or 2 from God bless our Country ?

Trudeau has had many accusations thrown at him for many yrs and none of them positive. That said, I for one salute the first world leader to stand his ground, speak the truth and not pander to Trumps bullying strategy. I have not witnessed any other world leader speak in this manner. I’ve witnessed many leaders pandering to an ego that is unbelievably narcissistic and quite simply inexplainable to me. \n\nMr Trump, this is not a reality tv show this is reality! The slogan he created ‘Make America Great Again’ is quickly becoming ‘Making America Alone’.

Canada should keep PM Trudeau! He seems to know his shit!! He should be asked to remain. HE can handle Trump! What if your next PM bows down to Trump, then Canada is screwed! Trudeau should NOT be leaving! He's doing a great job!!

Trudeau is a great leader.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau thank you for your address to Americans, to the american Bully in chief, and to your people. I am among those who started pushing back before trump took office, many are. We’re watching legislation and countering it. It won’t be easy, but we, the other half who understand that trump is crooked and dysfunctional, will not give up. Generally, Americans are not great when it comes to hitting the pavement and letting our voices be heard, but we’re getting much better. We need to be more like France, but without the destructive automobile fires and other property destruction. Life will be hell here, in my own democratic country, until the Bully is gone. I want the entire republican party gone, they only serve themselves via stock insider information, and messed up wishes to control a dystopian society while kowtowing to the billionaires. I want the democrats rebranded to acknowledge the important social programs we have. Let’s face it, they did not protect us from this trump/project 2025 takeover. Instead they allowed unchecked lies, and the ability to buy his way into office with so many felonies under his huge belt. In a country that is intellectually compromised, lies are very effective weapons against democracy. We need better hate laws to control this lying issue.

Great speech by Trudeau, trump has over stepped his limited authority, he’s not a king

Fentanyl coming in from Canada to the USA is 0.02 %. Soo... trump is lying about that. Truth is that Melania likes Justin Trudeau. He's younger and Much better looking than Old Man trump, And THAT gets under trumps thin skin. Soo thats why he's trying to belittle Trudeau in front of America and Canada. If trump didn't have $$$$ ? No woman would give him a second look even. He looks like and talks like a Ditty Ole Pervert just like His Pal And Good Friend Geoffrey Epstein did leering at young woman. Soo that's why he's shooting off his poisoned mouth wanting Our Great Country as the 51st state. Canada's tougher than he thinks and he'll see that When the Going gets Tuff, Canadians stand up for Ourselves!!!

Trudeau already punishes the USA with unfair trade practices. Now that we exercise that right to protect our country, Trudeau lies with the great skill of a superb lying Trudeau.

Trudeau is a great man, leader

I could not be more assured,as a Canadian, by the great unscripted,direct speech our leader,Prime Minister Trudeau, has delivered to Canadians and Americans. Everyday people will hurt through this and remember, it will not affect the oligarchy Trump has created, because they can withstand downturns in economies through wealth. His goal is to crush the Canadian economy in the guise of creating better paying jobs for American. Complete unhinged fallacy.

Trudeau is a total shitbag disgrace of a governor!? Canada needs the USA more then we need them! Without the USA Canada will fail and we can annex them! So keep going! AMERICA AND AMERICANS FIRST! ??? GOD BLESS PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP AND HIS GREAT ADMINISTRATION!???MAGA! ???????????????

I am not a huge Trudeau fan, but that was a great speech!

This is great Trudeau!

Dont like Trudeau but I have to say, great last speech. Trump is such a liar about fentanol from Canada. Good luck USA, you are in for one hell of a ride !

Great guy. Trudeau rules.. I wish i have such Prime minister

Mr. Prime Minister Trudeau Thank you, Great speech thank you to make this nation united. I love this land and respect this wonderful Country.

Great speech by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. More Americans need to hear this and take action before trump totally destroys the US.

Yes!!! Very intelligent and straightforward, much respect to PM Trudeau. We here in the US president that continously lies,fabricates and very much disrespectful not just to the American people but to are allies. We will suffer greatly as long as trump stays in that oval office. Putin is just sitting back and waiting for trump to complete his move to become a dictator. Being schooled by putin and Elon Musk.

Great speech by Mr. Trudeau ?

Wow! I have great respect for all the countries coming together as a whole. It's a shame we have such a lousy worthless President. By the way did you MAGA nut jobs hear what a real leader sounds like, it's Trudeau not your lunatic President you voted for. Trump would rather destroy his own country instead of bring it together. That's dictatorship not a great leader. We need to get rid of him before this gets worse or it's too late and he refuses to leave.

Trudeau is so handsome and smart and good. I wish he was our leader here in the US. Can you come here and help us, please? We need help. I understand why you have to fight back against Trump. I can't stand Trump and what he and our government is doing but I don't know how to stop it. I sure didn't vote for him. Thank you Mr. Trudeau for all of your great work and commitment and governance. I stand with Canada.

Great, now Trudeau actually has a chance to win the next election again because Trump is making him look smart. FML!

I'm no admirer of Trudeau, but this was a great speech. (Can you imagine Donnie making a coherent speech like this? ?) but I disagree with him on one thing: Donnie is NOT a very smart guy. (Although I know why Trudeau felt he had to say that).

Why is it that when Trudeau stepped down he became a great leader? God damn it, Justin. We needed THIS version of you YEARS AGO. Regardless, I am so glad that JT has our back. Fuck Trump.

Great speech trudeau. Problem, Trump will blame everyone else when failures occur. Top man Trudeau.

Great speech by Mr. Trudeau

Everybody says they are the friend of the US, until it's time to be fair. To the world, stop being a bunch of children... or don't. But if not, be prepared to suck it up. Be ready to back up your BS. Don't tell us what our government is doing to us, pay attention to what you are doing to us... and have been since the 1950s. Let us be crystal clear, you Canada, along with Europe and others have been enjoying your subsidized lifestyles off our backs. We are done and finally someone in the White House is hearing us. I don't agree with everything he says and does, but I agree with him that this foolishness needs to stop. Stop now. To Trudeau, Buckel up butter cup, put your blackface on and find yourself a cute little dress, maybe entertainment can be the way for you to go. Talk to you in a few years, let's see how this all works out for you. To Canadian's, Last Chance, come be number 51, before the Russia and China split you down the middle like a roast pig. Send your 250 troops to Ukraine, let's see what you and 2000 Europeans can do after you piss off the Russians... because you are right about one thing, they are led by an evil man, who's word is useless and who doesn't give a rat's butt who dies for his glory.... even if it's you and your children. No worries, you don't need those nasty Americans south of the great white north, your good all on your own. I Just sent Trump another $50. Not going to change the world, but it will let him know we are behind him, no matter what the Libs of the world have to say about it.

Great, unambiguous words by the Canadian president! But one of his remarks stood out: he said that the tyrants want to divide us. He is correct, of course. But the implications are profound! This means that Trudeau himself is measuring his words and deliberately using diplomatic language. He even says that Trump is “intelligent”, which only plays into the imbecile’s unfortunate NPD psychology! The unwillingness to stand strong against American tyranny is harming democracy worldwide! Force Trump to declare a side! And make him choose Putin or democracy NOW!! If you fail to do that, you are taking the path of accommodation, and if Trump is really a tyrant (which he surely is, because of MANY evidences!!), democratic countries weaken their position by not standing strong NOW. If Europe and Canada and Mexico ban Tesla imports and place 50% tariffs on tens of billions of dollars of American products, what would happen? Are these countries AFRAID of the United States? This is not the time for fear! This is the time for courage! Boycott!!!

You go, Trudeau and the rest of the great Canadians! As an American, I am ashamed and appalled at the unholy trio of trump, Vance and musk.

Stop insulting our President! We are no longer woke communist like Trudeau and the EU, and we are focusing on us, as the world does not appreciate all we do and we are far from perfect here. President Trump is one of the great Presidents that made America and Canada so successful in the past, and all these socialist a$$bags can do is cry and get in the way of progress! We are the superpower of the world for a reason and you’re on the wrong path my Canadian friends! Watch you ? mouth long story short!

Great Political! I have a lot of respect for Trudeau!

Trump has given Trudeau a great political gift.

Thats what I call puchback! Great speech PM Trudeau. Well done on telling the idiot in chief just how dumb he really is.

Great to see Trudeau melting down ?

Gota love President Trudeau. Great man who cares for Canada and his people.

From Europe: Great speech of Trudeau! One can only hope that Americans get rid of Trump‘s madness somehow.

Even though I don’t oppose Trudeau’s speech, comment section makes me worry that a single speech made people think he is a great leader and vote for him again when our country is at its lowest.
