Good for Canada! ?? #Statesman #Leadership

Trudeau ?? is a keeper! \nGreat leader \nGreat leadership!!!

As an American, it pains me to see Canada show such poise and leadership. We're wasting our lives and future hoping that our government will save us, yet it digs us deeper into ignorance and suffering.

It’s not about fentanyl at all. Donald Trump is just using that as an excuse. He is lying to the American people like he always does. Don’t back down Canada ?? do your worst!! Trump voters need to feel the pain to realize what they have voted for. I’m embarrassed and disgusted with America right now and who we are becoming. Be proud of your nation and your leadership Canada!! America isn’t and can’t be as long as DT is in office.

Donald Trump, watch and learn, this is true leadership from an inteligent president. Just learn Donald, a hole

I'm from Maine with a Franco American heritage. I am heartbroken today… remembering open borders between our countries, no passport required. I support Canada ?? and Canada's leadership looking out for their people.

I think we have cheaper alternatives in the US. How about 50%. As long as we have 250% tariffs on American goods, I say keep going. We need reciprocal trade and need to fix the border issues also. We lose so many to the fentanyl. Canada needs to make its military contributions also. We don’t need the bs words from this bs guy. Some better leadership can still fix this but when I hear boycotts, I start checking labels also.

This what leadership looks like.

I am not Trudeau's biggest fan by any way, shape, or form...\n\nBut he nailed it here. Wish he'd showed leadership like this for years before agreeing to step down, but better late than never.\n\nThe North will never f*cking bend the f*cking knee.\n\nIf you come for us we will come for you too.\n\nWarrior peoples don't cower from fights.\n\nCanadians are warriors, see our involvement in any war for proof.\n\nWake up, America, there's a Russian boot on your neck.

Canadian leadership is it going to help their citizens. The current US administration is pulling the plug on everything that helps US citizens... I think that says it all... We have a traitor in the oval office.

Now that's what true leadership resembles

I know that Canadian have complained about Justin Trudeau over the years, but his recent leadership in regard to Ukraine & Europe has been stellar and undoubtedly his response to Trump is something TO BE ABSOLUTELY PROUD OF! This is not the time to rock the boat globally, as Trump is doing

Dear Canadians,\nI'm so sorry for how the leadership of my country is treating you, one of our closest allies. I've spent a fair bit of time in Canada and I've always had a great fondness for you.\n\nI hope that this storm passes soon, and I'll be doing my part to help it pass, and I hope that in the future we can begin to repair the damage done to our relationship. \n\nWe're better together. All of us. \n\nWith love, \nA caring American

What good leadership looks like

I've never been more ashamed of my country's leadership in my entire life. Thank you for this speech and this stance, Canada. I support you.

? Californian here. Thank you, PM Trudeau, for your leadership and for speaking with respect and clear intentions to rebut what you were forced into. Listening to you speak makes things feel a little less scary. To hear another world leader speak with such normality, is reassuring that democracy still exists. The last decade has been hell on Americans. Some of us have been standing up, speaking up and never giving up for a decade now. Wee are tired but we can't stop. Thank you for being a sane voice during this insane nightmare. And thank you for embracing President Zelenskyy. He needed that multileader summit embrace after what Trump did to him ?????

He needs to run for leadership again!!! Hated him few mths ago! Showing true leadership now!

Out politicians are doing what russia wants them to do and using immigration and drugs as the excuse. It is called gas lighting. US leadership right now are king in gas lighting.

Trudeau cares more about me and my fellow Americans than Trump does!! Trump needs to take a page (maybe an encyclopedia set) on leadership from Trudeau! Notice that he is doing all he can to protect Canadian jobs and people during this trade while Trump is firing hundreds of thousands of American workers, causing the layoffs of more, and doesn't give a hoot about tanking the economy! On behalf of those who did not vote for Trump thank you Canada and Trudeau. I am sorry .

Beautiful eloquent, true leadership. A REAL WORLD CLASS LEADER . Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau

He’s gracious to speak of “they” the government of the US when in reality, MAGA and the other ignorant, uninformed voters put Trump and his lackey’s in leadership positions.

Justin T is the same as Russia leadership he has burned down churches during covid he has no soul

Go Mr Trudeau!!!\n\nGreat to see such leadership in standing up to the fool that is Trump.\n\nRational. Factual. Impactful.\n\nPlease world - start standing up to Trump’s idiocy like this. It is world class leadership. And sense.

Thank you for your steadfastness leadership PM!

As soon as Trudeau or any other Canadian Liberal MP says, “Let me be crystal clear,” or refer to clarity, you can be sure that there is dishonesty happening! This guy has been working on Canada’s destruction for 9 years. He has given away Billions of taxpayers hard earned dollars to those of his choosing, as though it were his to give. He has been financially running Canada into the ground with the help of his financial advisor, Mark Carney. He has let The Canadian Armed Forces disintegrate for lack of funding, while choosing to refuse payment to NATO and those who help to defend Canada. He and his Government have been involved with billion dollar scandals and have become a major force of “Legalized Crime!” Now he wants to lay the blame for his poor leadership on the US. Unfortunately, many Canadians don’t see the truth! The Canadian News Media support the Government and suppress the truth by backing the Government Propaganda and by twisting the truth into untruth! It’s a childish game being played by an entitled child who doesn’t care about the people he was supposed to be leading. I would imagine, that if their Conservative Party Leader Poilievre wins the upcoming election, he will be able to straighten out many of the troubles that have been caused by the World Economic Forum Puppets and their agenda. I doubt that the Canadian People are in favor of the agenda of having nothing and being happy. What foolishness the elites expect people to believe. I’m sure that our Government will be able to get it all ironed out when Canada gets a leader that really cares about their people and not about those fake Carbon Taxes. It’s very interesting to watch what’s going on up in Canada! Interesting but sad, because they don’t have the ability to impeach a bad, unethical leader…

Thank you for the truth! Leadership in display. Canada future is bright with leadership Justin Trudeau. Watching other countries leaders address, I realize indeed, we are no longer a country envy of the world! We have lies, propaganda filled our air way, greedy corporations and people struggle for basic needs. Sad!

This is what you call awesome leadership not bowing down to a bully dictator, you should protect your country and your citizens not put them in arms way, ?

I’m Canadian. I’ve not been a fan of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in the past, but he is the man for the moment and I’m so proud of him right now! Articulate, thoughtful, calm and firm. Exactly what a true leader should be. To my American neighbours: this is what leadership looks like. Bringing the country together,not tearing it apart??

How Fkn Stupid is our Leadership?!?! \nIt all makes sense if you consider that Trump is trying to Destroy the United States relationships!!!! \nhes CLEARLY PICKING FIGHTS!!!!

I personally think Trump is after Canada to become part of the US. So, he's making stuff up to make the countries leadership look stupid. He thinks his tariffs will cause great financial destruction in such a way that Canada will fall apart, and then he will swoop in and grab her up. His greedy nubby hands want what he doesn't have. I can't wait for these four years to pass.

As someone who could not stand Trudeau's faltered 9+ year tenure as PM, the final days of his leadership has shaped him in a positive light for Canadian's.

This trumps leadership only billionaires will survive not poor americans

Incredible leadership, well spoken and refreshing to see a mature clear communicator.

This is a leader speaking: informed, lucid and logical. If only the US could have such leadership.

This is what leadership sounds like.

Our people of America voting this damn guy into office, I don't get what was the appeal to have this type of leader for our nation. We are just in a sh^^ty place at this moment. This is not what America is about and sad to say this may be the destruction of our nation by having such poor leadership, how dare he spoke about Biden or Obama.

Here is leadership

And to think a few months ago he was so low in the polls and so unpopular he decided to step down to give his party a fighting chance in the next election. Just imagine if Joe Biden had shown that same kind of leadership. We may not have a second Trump presidency to deal with.

This is leadership.

I wish he is our president !!He makes sense and he show his leadership

All of the one percenters and maga GOP leadership are onboard with america being aligned with putin the kremlin and one percenters in russia. This is how america is destroyed under the presence of making America great.

As a patriotic American, I cannot support criminal felon traitor Trump, his anti-American, anti- democratic Maga cult!! Our current government is unconstitutional out for the millionaire and billionaires not the people!! Our constitution says we the people!! I support our allies. Trump is a bully, but he is dumb, weak and pathetic. If I have to suffer financially over Trump‘s in it leadership, I’m willing to do so. It’s a small sacrifice compared to what the people that came before me did!! Trump should not even be our president. He committed insurrection. He is a total piece of SH.l!+!!!

The American government agencies and institutions have been weakened, as well as their healthcare and educational systems. Their relationships with allies and friends, North and South, have been strained, global allies have grown skeptical of the United States, and everywhere the US has given away its soft power, a vacuum was created that will now be filled with China or Russian influence. Every enemy of the US longed for this moment, and Donald Trump and JD Vance handed them this unnecessary win. America is past the point of no return; No one will come to help and rescue their most vulnerable. From this moment on, turning this around depends on every American in opposition to tyranny, abuse, and dictatorial leadership.

Impressive, dignified, fact based leadership. We ?? support you Canada ?? ❤❤❤

I'm not seeing or hearing Trump supporters celebrating their hero's leadership anymore. Where has the voice of the majority voting public gone.

I'm an American and I'm so ashamed of the irresponsible actions of our government. Our nation is quickly being handed over into the hands of our enemies with our faithful allies removing their support from us because Trump can no longer be trusted. I support Canada and their leadership.

This is what leadership looks like. It's sad that the rest of the world has to deal with this orange buffoon.

Now, this is Leadership. Applause to you and your citizens. Not a clown show, circus or buffoonery.

The first CNN correspondent Paula’s toxic reframing of what the Prime Minister just eloquently shared with strength and respect is appalling. Infusing the term ‘anti-Americanism’ is 100% irresponsible journalism and incorrect on all levels. Listen to her manipulative dishonest expose at 10:15…\nThen, same dishonest propaganda from Alayna at 14:45… \n\nThe humans responsible for poor relations globally are people like Paula, Alayna, and everyone else from the far right which are unfortunately employed on purpose by the for propaganda and destructive political agendas. Shame on these unprofessionals and shame on imbecile 47 indefinitely for the deplorable lack of character and diplomacy, and absence of leadership that would otherwise be in place in order to serve the people. Trump is causing harm to his own country on all levels. \n\nTrudeau and Canada continue to be terrific neighbors with the US and care for our American friends, coworkers and families. The morons sitting in the White House attempting to bully long-standing allies globally are the only jerks creating relational fractures internationally. \n\nFrom, ??

As an American, I’m embarrassed and ashamed of what has transpired. Trump is a FN joke of a president and EVERYONE KNOWS IT. I’m with you Canada ?? alongside Ukraine ??. I hope they realize that Trump doesn’t represent what most sane Americans want as a country.\nRespect to Trudeau , that’s what leadership looks like.
