Am I the only one who finds it hard to accept that Tredeau is harsh? He speaks assertively, but that's not harsh at all. Considering how Trump speaks to other leaders.

Imagine a country's leader speaking articulately and coherently with actual facts and reason in their THIRD language.

I appreciate having true leaders for the people and prosperity with morals and standing. Today in USA several grocery stores were out of produce from Mexico and wondering gas, car and energy prices going going up. This is what happens when you have spineless leaders wanna be dictators. Putin is benefitting ?

Thank you, Donald, for making our Dear Leader and accomplished drama teacher adopt a speech which, however still hysterically stupid, has been accepted by many as at least coherent.

Zelenskyy the puppet clown ?, disrespectfully has crossed the line of decency\n by being loud, interrupting, and with very rude high hand gestures \ntowards the president of United States of America☹️\nWhat a junkie clown?, He's going to learn it the hard way very soon ☹️\nA comedian puppet clown ? who still thinks that he is a real leader ???\nWait for it junkie \nCheers ????

Red state American, former Republican in recovery here. This is the only world leader I listened to today, and time well spent. Bring it like you're getting it, Canada. Decent America is with you. The better you fight back, the sooner we Americans can get our country back.

I have always loved Canada and I cannot believe how awful Trump is treating you. I wish we had a leader like Justin Trudeau.

This is what a true leader sounds like. God knows we don't have one.

So this is what a rational intelligent leader of the nation sounds like. As a Vietnam veteran I didn't move to Canada during the Vietnam war but now it's starting to sound a lot better

The majority of us voted for this President and his actions. How dare a foreign leader try to persuade us to go against our government. We are not stupid, we voted for him. \n\nDemocracy wins. Support your own country or join ours.

This is a true Leader. Not what we have

Putin is not a dictator. Those wont follow europe interest will be call dictator. Trump trust putin more than europe leaders

So CNN and democrats are now looking to a leader being booted by his own party.. keep that same energy!

He's a true leader all countries can learn from this man. A true role model to many ??????.

Hey Canada! I'm jealous....what's it like having a leader that isn't a stupid, ugly, fascist?

You’re true leader Canada is trying to win his election back. That’s all it is!!$

That’s how a real leader talks to his countrymen. Stay strong Canada, sorry we have so many morons in my country who support this idiot.

Proud of our leader a far cry from the other one?

Prime Minister Trudeau epitomizes a true leader. I wish he was my country's leader. Kudos to him for directly addressing the P.O.S. who calls himself our leader. Thank you for your support of the American citizens and empathizing with us as we have to endure yet another term.

A real president and leader

You keep it up Trudeau!!!The world NEEDS to get TRUMP OUT!!! He is NOT OUR LEADER!!!

Canada!!!❤❤ The world is with you!! A true leader speaking!!

I love the country I grew up in ??, and I am worried about the country I raise my family in now ??. God, PLEASE help us, our leaders won’t.

So eloquent, handsome, and such a great leader. Can I be Canadian please?

Ronald McDonald is a joke. Well done Trudeau, spoken and acted like a true leader ??

I wish my country's (NZ) leader was this eloquent and well-spoken, with facts to back up his words.

Trudeau is TRUE Leader . My 100% Support

Trump picked on the wrong country and the wrong leader. He forgot what happened in 1814. We, however, did not.

At this present time and in this current governmental climate, I do believe that changing a leader now would hurt Canada. Trudeau has first hand experience and has dealt with Trump and his tantrums, this isn’t Trudeau’s first rodeo. I am concerned with Trump antics another leader could be influenced with charm and falsehoods which Trudeau has already confidently stood up against.\nAnd for a moment, let’s think a little bit further out of the box. This isn’t about fentanyl as Prime minster Trudeau pointed out. This is about making life for Canadians extremely difficult and chaotic. It’s to bring division between the United States and Canada, and with Trump joking and jokes are not jokes sometimes they become reality Canada being a 51st state. Trump Being friends with Putin, with Russian ships in our Arctic Ocean think on this for a minute. Putin decided to invade Ukraine to expand his make believe empire. President Trump and Vladimir Putin working together. Hasn’t Trump said he wants Canada to be part of the USA and wants our Prime Minister to be a governor how insulting. How very insulting to the Canadian people who not just live in Canada, but are also united Canadians.

You know I’ve been killing myself working non stop for like a decade trying to hold it all together because of all the increased prices of everything. As a result I have not been paying attention. I know the tariff thing was happening, but didn’t know why this was a thing. \n\nShame on me for not being more up to date. \n\nI also know nothing about Trudeau or his political stance on literally anything aside from what he talked about in this video. \n\nI must say this was of speaking is EXACTLY what I expect from a world leader. Everything was delivered very well and without personal emotions. He’s not going off the cuff and saying whatever pops into his head. THIS is the exact style of communication we need from world leaders. I don’t see how it helps anyone, anywhere in the world to have people in control of nuclear armed nations to be shooting from the hip with communication.

the fact this leader thinks that we Americans give a flying fuck what he has to babble about is funny. I as a American am feeling much more hopeful on the action that our president is making is for the better of America and its allies. stay in your lane and stop acting like you can say another country with things that aren't true or aliened to things going on.

I agree and stand by everything said by the PM Canada, but I do not agree with bashing any country or leader.

Canada will never give in to a foreign leader

I wish we had an adult for a leader like Canada.

This is a true statesman, Canada, you are so lucky to have such an articulate, sensible and coherent leader.

wow... that's ballsy and rhymed. See... this is a leader i can stand with. Thank you for this. But honestly, this feels like a bad breakup.\n\nI don't know what the hell Donald is doing. Current US Administration is alienating its friends and allies. I wonder what the end goal is.

The leader of the world needs to get together to put this ignorant, narcissist Donald Dock on his place.

He spoke eloquently using FACTS not LIES like Donald Trump. He didn’t sugar coat anything. He spoke directly to Donald. \n\nTRUMP has been making DUMB DECISIONS over and over. THIS TIME is being controlled and e has shown to the world thatHE IS THE PUPPET of a ?BILLIONAIRE IMMIGRANT WHOSE GOAL IS TO CONVERT THE US TO A COMMUNIST COUNTRY imitating HITLER. \n\nDonald LIED to VOTERS promising to reduce inflation and increase jobs. Donald please STOP BEING PUPPET OF ELON, VANCE. And all others. \n\nTHIS IS NOT HOW TO MAKE THE US GREAT AGAIN… YOU ARE MAKING IT THE WORST and destroying everything great former leaders worked hard to build. \n\nYOUR EGO is making you blind. \nYOU LIED using God’s name in vain to obtain votes. \n\nWORST ADMINISTRATION IN HISTORY\n\nGod sees everything.

We are going to be sorely sad to see Trudea step down from his office as Prime Minister of Canada, as we need great leaders like him to fight for us. We pray that whoever replaces this seat of PM is going to stand firm and keep Canada and the United States united, and I am not refering to us becoming a 51st State.

HE IS A FAMILIAR FACE FOR CANADA, WHY ARE U GUYS REMOVING HIM?!?!?! WHY..??? IF HE DID WRONG CORRECT HIM, ALL THESE YOUNG LEADERS SHOULD BE KEPT GOING....!!!!

Foolish kalishsni Terrorist leader TRUDO must realise stop encouraging terrorist activity, otherwise your economy will collapse totally.

It’s all about Power and Control with this so called leader we have in the US. I am ashamed of\nOur govt

Bravo Prime Minister Trudeau…I wish we had a leader like you, articulate, intelligent and a great sense of decorum…instead we have the OHB

Sorry, but this is just too funny—suddenly touting Trudeau as a credible world leader? After eight years of economic mismanagement, scandal, and record-low approval ratings, now he’s the voice of reason? The irony is off the charts.

Finally our leader stands up for Canadians!!

I want too take this time too say i am proud of you for saying you are a strong leader that obviously americans are sickened by the damage that trump has done too us Every True American who believes in our democracy we are suffering from just over 1 month and i am so sorry for how he treated Canada but understand this is NOT most Americans feelings were very upset and i pray that all of you in Canada realize our country has a been taken over and corrupted by trump and Elon Must

Im sorry Mr Trudeau, im sorry Canadian people. This American voted against this madness, and I do not support this ally of the evil of the world that is currently occupying the white House. This executive branch of the US government, along with the propaganda machine are fueling the supporters of this nonsense and they may not be able to determine the trauma that decisions like these tariffs, like putting down a great leader of a sovereign nation that was attacked by an aggressive country like Russia. This is going to do nothing but hurt people on every side.

Can we trade leaders?

Prime minister Trudeau you are a strong brilliant leader. Our USA chose an orange lying criminal, so embarrassing.

Hear me out. I think Trump was threatened by Netanyahu to do this to all the countries that agreed with ICJ's arrest warrant and promised to arrest him on arrival. Netanyahu was the first leader Trump met and suddenly EU, Canada, and Mexico are being treated like this.
