Say what you will about Prime Minister Trudeau but the man can speak like a true professional unlike that orange turd on the other side of the border. Well done PM!

If the plan was to unite all these countries together as one ! Why not ? Why are we fighting anyways, again ? Why don't we all get along !? I'm just thinking out loud here, if Putin, Trump, Trudeau, freekin Kim and the reste juste once and for all say you know what the earth doesn't belong to any of us, no more spreading religious thoughts and no more I'm right you are not ! Just live and let live ! The idea is to live the moment and stop thinking of the past ! This instant, right now is what is important. Stop acting like babys, kids that bully other kids ! I just can't beleive we are still fighting !

as if we had nothing else to do than to get involved in other people's business but it is surely the multinationals who make Trudeau react they are afraid of losing their investment. The resigning Prime Minister Trudeau should worry about the real problems and rather than seeking confrontation with other nations they should on the contrary create alliances with Asia rather than with the European Union which is collapsing and which will lead us into their crisis we prefer to accuse others of our bad decisions the world is changing and we watch the train pass once again, it is so easy to find an enemy and put everything on his back ex: what has Russia done to us? nothing at all but for fear of what others will say (the Americans) we have to get them on our backs. War is not going to happen in Canada at all, we are not made for that, besides, looking at our arming is ridiculous, yet we were an extraordinary force for peace (the blue helmets). Our governments are idiots like all the others of our time and if that does not change we will stay on the train platform saying to ourselves that we should have

Typical Left Government.... Canada taxes American goods but they don't like America introducing taxes... Yet to DEFLECT attention to the facts... They say that Trump is working with the Russians!! Talking utter goolies!!

The decadence... I am biased here surely, but I just have learned to hate decadence from big man in the picture. I didn't see or hear anything wrong with what he said. It's not the message, I don't want to say it's the messenger, so I'll stick with blaming the decadence. I hope everything sorts out for the better for both nations, of course... As the ones who will feel it most again, will be the common broke Joe like my gracious self and the rest of gen pop.

He said to the American people it’s bs bc us civilians can’t control what executive orders get passed like that’s threatening us civilians in our own country get out of here don’t say that u can do something to us

Hi Canadian friends! As an Italian used to live in a country ruled by many incapable politicians (truth is we stopped to have the most valuable ones between the second half of the 1970s and the first half of the 1980s) I have to say your prime minister Trudeau has always been seen like a good one from Europe and this speech is no exception. So, why will he soon leave his office? What' s there that we don' t know or understand?

I like when they say that God has chosen Trump Well, let me tell you, God would not harm anyone This is more the work of the Devil and its followers.

I like this general coming in saying this isn’t gonna end well well how was sending money to Ukraine going to end any better than not getting a return on our investment you can sit over there and say whatever they want when they’re getting loans to Ukraine, which was a slap in the face to America. You guys don’t get to ride off the cocktails of America anymore. It’s just not gonna happen.

The least liked ped0phile PM in history who was forced to step down has something to say ? you can keep quiet bud

As a Dutch citizen, I also want a PM like this. How do we get one of these instead of forgetting PM, and PM without having any say in his cabinet or a Harry Potter look a like?

He is sure a good bs er just become a state to the US. He is scared. Americans will be just fine. And say thanks to the nice boarder patrol that yelled and ridiculed me when I was a nice guy going to Canada to ride bikes at whistler a few years back and accusing me of smelling like alcohol and I was completely sober with my friend. Canada is a crap shoot. Good luck.

Lots of Americans on here saying they are embarassed or stand with Canada.. sorry but you're outvoted. The AMERICAN people VOTED in their MAJORITY for this. Trump said he would do it, got elected and he's done it. \n\nPeople like you commenting say you want democracy but it seems you only want it when you win.

Lmao you guys should see what the MP of perth said about trump. Not saying i like him, but damn he was right for that ?

I agree with every word! \nMy respect for the ones that has the guts to say it like it is!! \nThinking a bit further: I hope this has no consequences.\n\nAn unpredictable narcististic fool that call the shots makes no better choices for anyone but himself (so he thinks)\nIf the best way to silence a bully is too ignore him, he'll never shut up, 'cause it's not possible.\nMy God, does he ever just shut the f*ck up...\nHe doesn't deserve any attention, negatif nor positive \nUnfortunatly that's not an option. \nWhen we can't ignore him, is it wise to react by telling him that he's stupid? He likes being called out. Give him something to react so he has an excuse to do more stupid things. As narcististic as he is, he will (logicaly/probably/likely) react as a stupid bully....so we're feeding him. Any attention feeds the bully. \nHe seemes to love the negatif, but there's nothing positive to say.\nShould we than speak anything at all?\nNow is the time for the smartest diplomats to come together \nGood Luck everybody ?

Fentanyl is fuckin up white people the most lol now it's not a war on fentanyl like it was a war on crack cocaine lol if you're not woke then stay stupid! The pot called the kettle black but when it's white y'all act like it's haven't been always White people that know they're wrong and call you woke ?????? don't cry for you cry because you woke up and now they say that was yesterday and not today but that was the law yesterday and still is today ???

What makes Donald Trump think Canada would want any part of this shit storm current Trump‘s first term the Canadian immigration website crashed as people were trying to be out of here. Canada definitely has more sensible leadership why our country is led by a grifter who has turned a lot of sensible and educated Americans into zombies or should I say he’s like the big bully on the playground someone should’ve told Donald Trump that you get more flies with honey than vinegar

This is not going to end well. \n\nThe former NATO Supreme Commander tells it like it will be.\n\nThe USA has already lost massively as Trump does not understand the sound and mostly reasonable US imperial Security Strategy, and i say this as a non US citizen.\n\nI still do not hate the American people, but Trump has given every anti America voice exactly what they needed, big incidents painting to paint them as most evil.\nTrump got played so hard by Putin it is not funny anymore, Putin is the bear and Trump the screaming goose, free meal for the bear.

We, the people, don't have free education, many students own loans from universities.\nWe can not buy houses, and no programs help us.\nWe (USA)have a lot of homeless, criminals, people with mental health, PEOPLE ADDICTIVE TO HEAVY DRUGS, plus the alcohol, weed, cigarettes, undecated young people, 30 percent only have a banchelors degree the 70 percent in the whole country don't have university education and not counting young people getting pregnant with toxic partners and their kids repeat the same poisonous life affecting their generations touching lives in a bad way.\nUSA has a lot of potholes in the roads, our foods have over 300 harmful chemicals to harm our health, the health system sucks, education is low teacher teach with youtube and are lazy to teach, educational system is super slow to process student classes or to advice them they make a mess in the documentation of the payments or financial aid, we have to baby sit the educational system to do their jobs and get things done, the food so expensive the egg, milk, vegetable, fruits, gas so expensive it never went down we still paying in LA 5 dollar per gallon to 6.50.\nUSA RENT are for the roofs some states do not even have rental control student loans kill people with HIGH INTEREST THEY GO AFTER YOUR HOME CAR TAXES .\nthe government is not to serve it wants the we the people serve the government.\ngovernment uses our taxes for their personal investment and we the people pay for it.\nThe USA government gives bread crumbs to its own citizens, what can other countries expect from it? The worst part is that most citizens are blind, and we need to wake up and make the government do its job instead of putting our tax money in their pockets.\ncountries need to look for their people but sadly the governments use their people very few are have justice and education.\nUSA say they help but they beat up the ones that are down and take advantages of countries that are in war USA exploit them is an investment not help USA always gets more of the double of what they help invest in countries like congo or eukrania USA want the minerals,land of eukrania and the diamond, land and resources of africa.

Trump will say Canada shouldn't have start a trade war with USA, like the way he accused of Ukraine starting the war.

How proud he says there are no winners in a trade war, like its a science question and he got the answer right.

So trudeau is more or less saying that he did a little bit to do something against drug. Like he is giving justifications. Like in scho. Lol. Trudeau justinfication??

My hunch says, trump will make this guy win again and make him give more speech like this.

I’m a dual citizen of the USA and the UK and have been so disgusted by Trump, he projects evil, he’s smarmy and egotistical. I just don’t understand how many of my American friends act like he’s right up there with God, I just can’t fathom their thinking. It’s all about taking ownership of anything he wants and he bullies until he gets what he wants. I’m sick of people saying Pres Zelenskyy needs to apology to Trump, Zelenskyy did nothing wrong, he was calm and polite. Vance and Trump immediately went in on the attack, both bullies! Then to moan about Zelenskyy offending the Oval Office by not wearing a suit. Have they looked at Musk lately? Don’t know what he’s wearing but it ain’t no suit. During war times leaders often wear combat clothes to show they are with their country and soldiers. I must say I wouldn’t be upset if anyone popped him off! He does need to go.

oh boy! you think us Americans are worried About Canada. Nah! I don't think so. Say what you like, AMERICA FIRST, and GO TRUMP AND JD VANCE, stop crying Canadians and the democratic party's

of course europeens like this. but in europe you go to jail for things you say.

We need Trudeau in this fight ..I don't care what the conservatives say this is the guy to lead when the country is in problems like this

As a Briton, I would like to say thank you to Mr Trudeau for standing up to the bullies in the White House.\nI will always stand with my Commonwealth brothers in Canada. ??

Well if hes going to talk like that all governor positions are off the table for him...\nMaybe Putin will catch Trudeaus ankle with an umbrella end and ding dong the witch is dead. ?\nFunniest thing is he says prices are expected to rise for Americans . Through tariffs right?\nSo then he matches those tariffs. So i guess Canadians can expect the same old bs from him.\nBC legalized fentynol! They found a giant fentynol lab out there. Imagine how many more there are! \nCrack heads all over our major cities in Canada. Jobs are down, economy is down, human rights is down. But he has nice socks.

Your no friend the Canadian people are did they already told you they want you gone so but you have to say don't matter You don't even make vehicles and you tariff our vehicles do you need us a lot more than we need you And as far as pooling goes yes he's a dictator and not a good person but he also did want he had to do for his country since NATO kept moving east after promising not to and yet we still try to help you trade and they want to try to be tough guys like you how's that working for both of you

I’m so sick of my country right now.. more so the citizens who are ignoring things like this and believe any lie Trump, Vance, or Elon says

I’ve read a lot of comments from people saying “Trudeau ruined Canada” in response to people expressing their support for Trudeau in this time.\n\nThat’s not really a great point.\n\nIf Trudeau hasn’t been good for Canada, but gives a coherent, inspiring, and professional speech in this moment that unites Canadians and others alike, then that should speak so much to how awful this situation is. Huge respect to Trudeau and Canada for not backing down. I hope one day we’ll be allies with the right side of the world again.\n\nWe wanna talk about a leader ruining a country? That’s what Donald is doing right now. Except he won’t unite us in the future with a speech like this.\n\nThis American stands with Canada!

As much as I like the message, I just find this is a waste of time to rationalize or reasoning with the orange clown and his uneducated base, like the clown said himself that he loves his uneducated supporters. Just return the favour. That's it. You can't fix stupid. Canada just needs to find more reliable and trust worthy partners. As much as I hate to say, US government can't be trusted. \n\nHey donald, little petty man with small hands. Glad that your trump towers in Toronto and Vancouver failed. You now try to avenge but you are making dumb mistakes to let personal touchy feelings to interfere with country affairs.

As a U.S. citizen... I say.. fuck the U.S. Trade with Europe. Trade with Mexico. Pool your resorces and help each other survive. Let us have consequences. We elected this vermicious kinid. Support Ukraine. Let us think soley about our own interest like the tangerine todler we elected. Let us see how that works. I want to be proud of my country but we obviously need a lesson in humility.

Trump and Maga are like any crazy regime, absolutely full of magical thinking and not based in reality. So 2+2 = 6 and if you don’t agree, you hate America. Average Americans are expected to believe that a bunch of billionaires and companies that have been robbing them blind for 40 years will now have their backs because they are actually in government instead of just pulling the strings from the sides. Or because they trigger the right people on the Internet. . I also hate how every leader in the world has to pay some kind of false reverence to Trump even though they all know he’s nuts out of some kind of decorum. Just want somebody with balls to get up and say fuck him and fuck his lunacy. And shove your decorum up your arse because Trump doesn’t have any. It’s about time you realise what you’re dealing with and pull the gloves off. Playing nice and nice and reasonable is only playing into his hands.

Imagine living in a country where your prime minister has no problem giving all our money away to terrorists. Or raising carbon tax to the point people can't pay their bills, lose their homes.. imagine having a prime minister who doesn't really care about canadians like he says he does because unlike canadians no everyone has a huge trust fund like he does to live as comfortable like he does with the punishment he lays on us.. it's gonna be tough on us.. NOT him

Why would you not listen to what he’s saying in French? He’s very likely not repeating what he said in English.

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.

trudeau all you have done for Canada and Canadians in 10 years is try your best to destroy us. Why should we believe anything you say. How many $ billions have you embezzled? The worst thing is you gave iot to fake agencies overseas that looks like money laundering. NOTHING for Canada or Canadians. I'll steal your words to trump. This and you are REALLY DUMB!

So all I want to say is screw Canada Canada if you raise people like that you deserve what you're getting.......?Canada

So all I want to say is screw Canada Canada if you raise people like that you deserve what you're getting.......

Just to let you know people watch out for Jean-Claude couture in Stratford Quebec he's my cousin he's the biggest thief in the world my parents didn't even like him and we took him in on his sixth birthday and I was a year old my parents left everything to me all of a sudden he has everything karma is a b****all I can say is watch out for mother karma

He sounds very manipulative. And like he's having a temper tantrum. He can miss me with trying to play on people's emotion and act like Canada cares for Americans. Canada doesn't even want this man. All you trump haters and those who don't do research and believe the media are desperately trying so hard to see light and positivity where it done exist. What can anyone take away that America doesn't have right now. 70% of the population is damn near homeless and the avg job pays 14$ a hr. We already can't afford food way before trump got elected if our president thinks this is best then trust him\nWe want to much quick solutions. It's going to take a fight to make America great again ❤ time is everything. You can't expect no one to wave a magic wand and undo 12 yrs of democratic chaos. We have people that don't understand their gender. For years America has been every other countries sugar daddy! ENUFF. I SAY MORE TARRIFS❤

I know you mean what you are saying, I'm disgusted with our new president that doesn't care about us or anyone but himself. I wish I could move to Canada. Here we are treated like garbage with no respect for homeless, children, elderly any human being. I admire you and Zelensky real gentleman.

?Green Berets Vs Algonquins ? Bad News! - Here's the Problem: We have a smaller Population but Entrepreneurs in this Country have Rights! - It matters when it comes to sheltering an Economy!\nTrade war from Free Trade? Bizarre! Look on the Bright side - Deniro is on our side! (Obviously!)\n (All I'd like to say is... with respect (?) - If Cretien was PM a few Years ago, The Minister of Justice Jody Wilson would have remained in office?)

Saying that trump is 'not hitting adversaries but hitting friends' sounds like trump is hitting putin - but then its not adversary for trump... putin is a friend ;/ Ill pray for you americans. You need to last 4 years...

I wish Democratic leaders in America would speak to the public like this -- explain what Trump is doing and why it's harmful to America. Democrats keep saying they're not in power, but why don't they use the power of the microphone every single day. This was a powerful statement by Trudeau.

Canada can suck it. This isn't a trade war, this is America being done with catering to everyone. If it's a trade war it's only because of how those like Canada are taking it. We honestly don't need anything from Canada. We can do it ourselves, as we've done before.\nHow come it took this happening for Canada to finally speak out against several drug trafficking groups as the sick and twisted groups poisoning people on both sides of the border? Why couldn't you say that before?

BRAVO Prime Minister Trudeau!! To my incredible Canadian neighbors -- You cannot imagine the shame and humiliation I am filled with as I sit in my home, which is located south of your beautiful country. Please believe me when I say I am sorry. I am truly sorry, for any hardships my country has unnecessarily brought to your door. My fear is, 4 yrs from now when his term is up, there will be no peaceful transfer of power to our next President. He who shall not be named, will most likely refuse to leave office. I wish I was a wizard standing on Platform 9 3/4 right now.
