This is what a President sounds like. Eloquent, thoughtful and truthful. There is no comparison - Trump = imbecile, the other world leaders = intelligent. Get real America. Your country is going to hell in a hand cart.

Respect to Canada, we all stand with you. Brave coming out on the front foot like you have. I do have to add, it is not the American government alone, it’s the American people who voted Trump in. How the mighty have fallen. Making enemies with all the democracy countries around the world. I’m Danish born, living in Australia. Civil war is very likely as many republicans now see that America is isolating themselves to create a dictatorship. Us vs the world mentality. Politics has never been more entertaining. China is set to be the new world leader, I can’t see it any other way. The timeline has moved forward beyond belief.

A true leader addressed the US public today. Unfortunately, he was from another country.

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.

Hard to believe that some people in the world do not want freedom, peace, friends, and happiness, and we let the so called leaders ruin our world that we all have a short time on this beautiful planet. Canada will survive, we will never give up our country. Thank you Mr.Prime Minister for being yourself and truthful and letting the world know. Thank you from all around the globe for your support.

Watching in Hungary/Slovakia: Amazing speech - hope it's understandable also to many Americans. They need to understand it before they feel the impact of Trump's trade war w/ his frm allies. I'm so proud I got an opportunity to spend few months learning English in Canada - lovely country and lovely people w/ great leaders.

From Canada: Sorry but we did this to ourselves by not growing our economy as we could have done, by not expanding energy and trade, by being led by a non-leader who panders only to the east and disrespects the west, who spends money like it’s on fire. Trudeau could learn so much from Sen Robert Kennedy about spending money that isn’t his to spend… If eastern Canada would respect the wealth we have in the country, in the ground, we would not be in this position. Canada could be one of the wealthiest countries in the world and Canadians could have a very high standard of living. Instead we are stagnant and woke, dying from terrible drug policies and woke law, and bursting with a terrible “look at me, look at how good I am” immigration policy. We have no investment or tourism in BC, no foreign buyers, almost no airbnb, no fruit, soon to be no wine, but at least we have free drugs and 2000 genders, right Provincial NPD? That will help the bank account. And we have no respect for Alberta’s riches that benefit EVERYONE. All the power is centralized in Quebec, with the Bloc not even a federal GD party but somehow allowed to be a federal party, and Ontario and Atlantic Canada just loving a false sense of moral and intellectual superiority, and don’t forget transfer payments. And we have got ourselves into this Liberal government purgatory (thank God the Federal NPD have been decimated over it…at least there is some justice), so that we write cheques to make us feel good and look good despite that we can’t afford it. And we prevent growth and trade to make ourselves feel good and look good even though we can’t afford it. And here we are now, broke a** with no prospects and no savings. Well done Canada and well done Capitano Trudeau.

Full support to canadian people but not these 3 jokers. what trump is doing is not good, even india is not acting like this when bangladesh is operating like a rabid dog, however what real canadians should understand is that their country's current situation is because of this 3 jokers. Canada should appoint leaders that has atleast some basic understanding of geopolitics. Look at india right after meeting trump last week it has signed several deals with the EU, and even finalizing FTA with it by the end of this year. There was suppose to be a FTA with canada aswell but these jokers supported criminal illegals from india which india wanted back to face justice but these jokers defended those guys and even threatened indian diplomats, so even now you guys have time, exercise your democratic power and throw these three boogers and illegals out of your county. And plese don't overuse marijuana before the election day because its a very important day for you guys.. you guys need to be atleast 60% concious when you cast your vote, because i fear some of you might vote the wrong person After that enjoy your weed as much as you like. BEST of luck my canadian friends?

Wow, that’s a very good polite speech of a leader. I’m Asian used to live in Ontario 10 years ago and I love Canadian people they are not racist. \nI so wish you all luck for your loving Country. \nGo go go Canada !!!! watching from Czech Republic ❤

This is what a national leader sounds like, not the illiterate, corrupt Russian-agent Trump, who is undermining our country because too many Americans can’t stand to have a woman in charge, so they elected a clown and his pet Elon to destroy America from within

I only wish my country, the US of A had a leader as articulate and intelligent as this man.\nTrump is a humiliation to this country. He is scum. \nI am so ashamed that half my country voted him into office.

I wish Trudeau was our president. I hate what is happening in the U.S. because of Trump and his minions. Putin must be gleeful at the destruction of the U.S. and all of the favors that Trump has given to him. The American people do not want this horror show that Trump and Musk has orchestrated. The Trump cult is bringing the downfall of America in the world. We are no longer the 'home of the free and the brave', and Trump is no longer the 'leader of the free world'. America will diminish and become a small, petty, stupid, country. I am glad for Trudeau, and Micron, and the UK and all of the democratic countries and people. I feel horrible for what is happening to Ukraine because of Trump. Mr. Trudeau, you are a fine and wonderful person and head of your country. I wish that you could help us out of this madness. :(

American here. My father fought and died to protect our freedoms which allowed the US to forge relationships with our allies and bring peace to people around the world.thank you PM Trudeau for showing many what a true leader looks like and how to protect your people, unlike our shameless and idiotic leader. I stand with Canada, Ukraine and all countries that demonstrate true democracy

What a relief to hear a country leader not speaking like a gangster. The people of the USA support whatever retaliatory actions you must take. We are all going to suffer from this and we are really sorry for the irresponsible actions of our gangster prez Donald.

Getting tired of Trudeau and Trump speaking for both countries and the citizens of both countries.\nWhile World leaders fight for power the ordinary citizens of both countries suffer the consequences of their actions.\nIf Trudeau really cared about Canadians he could start by eliminating the Carbon Tax.

American news is the only country that badmouth and disrespect their president and leader.

Articulate, compassionate, intelligent. I wish we had a leader in our country like him

Canadian here (NS): Not the biggest Trudeau fan the last couple years.. buuuut he is hands down more a world class leader of his country than trump every could be right now or ever in the future now. What a shitshow. Trudeau REITERATED the wall street journal's words.. dont spin it like trudeau just name called him out of the blue in the hopes to insite something else. Look INWARD (cough*trump*) and fix your shit. Remember these days my american friends.

These terrible consequences stem from a single mad leader whose ego is as inflated as his unpleasant demeanor. His reckless ambitions and self-centered decisions are dragging millions of ordinary people—both in his country and others—into unnecessary suffering. As if people didn’t already have enough problems to deal with, this maniac comes along, sowing chaos and adding to their burdens. His actions are not just destructive but reflect a dangerous disregard for humanity, leaving a trail of devastation that will take years to repair. Leaders like him remind us of the importance of vigilance and the need to unite against such destructive egotism.

Dear Canada, I am glad you are standing up to our horrible leaders. I never in my life ever expected to see a President of the U.S. side with Russia over our allies. We know the that he is gaslighting the world using the fentanyl excuse. We did not all vote for the orange menace, but now we will do everything we can to rid our country and the world of this MAGA scourge.

Canada is strongly anti fascist:\n1) we are against rascism and try to fight that human tendency\n2) we believe in religious tolerance and we don't fear secular views\n3) we honour our intelligent and hard working women \n4) we don't worship cult leaders who prey on our fears\n5) we are happy to live financially comfortably but don't worship the dollar\n6) we honour our military but worship peace\n7) we love our country fiercely but respect others and see their strengths\n8) we respect rather than fear sexually diverse persons\n9) we try to understand different perspectives of history\n10) we believe in equity and truth rather than Darwinian power (might is right?-no)\n11) we believe in a social democracy that pools its taxes and provides for all citizens

Canadians are not smart enough to deport all of the illegal immigrants in their country. They have weak and stupid leaders.

Canada country United DT your USA divided leader by dumb witted DT your joke the world is against you DT

Trump uses drugs as the reason we all know that is not true. Trump has to be the feared leader, as he cosy up to Putin. Trump likes isolation he wants America to be Russia allied We the people will survive but know that gaining our trust back will not be easy but we are up for the fight. We will not get in bed with a country that is siding with Putin

Bravo!?????? I am an American and I stand with Canada. Leaders from other countries around the world should be as strong as your leader Trudeau! This message could not be more clear or direct. And I’m glad Trudeau didn’t call him with president in front of his name. trump doesn’t deserve it. He is a disgrace to America and exactly what America is not about. No one knows how he could get here But it’s a nightmare that we are trying to wake up from. Trump has spread cancer in America and we are fighting for our lives. We are deeply sorry for all the pain we are causing people around the world. This is our fight and we unfortunately are making it everyone’s problem. We need help, so thank you for everything you are doing.

Trudeau is a fantastic leader with the country and citizens first, completely opposite of pres musk and the first lady donald

Now, that how's a leader of a country is supposed to talk.

Bravo Canada - as an American I stand against all bullies and my president is not a leader but he is a bully. I have no respect for him or anyone in his administration. He is a puppet of the Russian Federation because he is hostage to V. Putin. My supposed leader is a coward. He instead of helping a country at war with a vicious enemy and helping that country he betrays them and cuts aid and forgets the very foundation of this country that fought a vicious enemy to be free and independent. Fight for all you are worth Canada. Most people in the United States Stand With You - those who don't are supporters of a corrupt criminal posing as president.

As a Canadian, I am proud to see our Prime Minister answering directly to Trump. Mr. Trudeau spoke like a great leader of our country, we are with him and with every Canadian against an unpredictable predator. I'll support our governments in any actions that will be taken to answer to this attack.

I love Canadian people I do not like your leader. He sounds righteous today. Make no mistake of the Skeltons this man has. I do support President Trumps decision we neen to make changes for our country as do you guys have to do. Better days are coming us all things will get rough for a while. Loll to your leader to do his part for your country. He needs to get creative business wise instead of putting blame. Why is your leader looking to fight he should be thinking about how to solve problems and create business. I love Canadians We will get through this. Bucket up thing will get rough for all of us we all have to make changes. We believe in Donald Trunp and the many men and woman that have stepped up to change this country. May God be with us all may we get thought rough times may these wars come to and end.

if only the “leaders” in the us could stand up and speak like this man does for his country…

I am deeply ashamed of what my country and its leader have done and will do. I pray that wisdom and empathy will enlighten our president.

Thank you world for understanding what this LEADER, Justin Trudeau, is forced to do to save our country! Horrible situation for both Canada and the Untied States

Is the world having a problem with the US having a strong leader? I think so! The US is no longer taking your unfairness and your grifter expectations toward us. For example, we do 68% of the monetary support of NATO. Let that sink in. Also, we have billions of dollars of a trade deficit with Canada. These leaders of other countries just can not understand why we will no longer be their piggy bank. In conclusion, my son has lived and traveled in Europe. I learned a lot just from his experiences in general. I love my president, Trump!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I have felt blessed to be an American all my life.

Refreshing to see a clear-eyed seasoned leader with his country’s best interests at heart.

I almost forgot what an actual leader sounds like. It's sad that so many of my fellow Americans let fear mongering and hate take root in their psychy to the point they thought a barely literate megalomaniac was the best choice to lead the country. This is one of the rare being black in this country is a benefit. We're used to being overburdened and neglected, so it's nothing new to us. But, everyone else is in for a rough ride. Good luck.

To all people who replying \nStop with comments about bullying \nLotta countries took billions from America \nAll trump is doing is collecting \nStop with the disrespect speech \nHe’s just being a leader collecting what’s right

This is what it looks like, when a country leader steps up for his flag and his people. It's refreshing to see, really!

Sad that some of us hate what’s going on in this shameful country…..under a shameless man…..leaders decide & we have no say…..I am not political , but hatefulness & tyranny should never rule, never! Very sad & chaotic days, when the wicked rule!

Hey Trump take note , this is how the leader of a country should act and speak. Great job Mr. Prime minister???

WHY is the United States allowing Trump to throw our country away? Where are our electric leaders, our justice system, who is protecting us from this mad Man?

Canada, my greatest respect to you. Thank you for doing what you have to do to do. I am hopeful that with world pressure such as yours, we can rid our country of trump and his followers. Thank you for staying strong and pushing back on our absolute embarrassment of a terrible leader.

Putin Russia warned as far back as 2009 or earlier Ukraine not join NATO to aim missiles on the Russia border, did it not? Zelenskyy is a puppet comedian fake leader selected by European globalists to do their bidding. Before the war the ppl of Ukraine are weary and tired of Ukraine government neo nazi ideology, terrible policies, their wealthy oligarchs and blatant corruption. US finally did admit Ukraine had toxic biolabs before mainstream and their political analysts denounce it vigoriously. Too late now, Ukraine will continue to lose the war with Zelenskyy as president. President Trump is in the WH. So what integrity some ppl claim our country had and lost... like in the last four years with a weak corrupt party president? Trudeau is goin out hopefully not soon enough. Lol.

Prime Minister Trudeau, for the mistakes he's made, has actually had Canada's interests at heart.\n\nCanada is known as a peacekeeping country, my own father was in Cyprus in '89 doing just that, but with corporate interests getting in the way of what's truly best for Canada, the two major political parties have been swayed right of center, and a large portion of the population with them.\n\nAt least Canada's current leader is a competent, level-headed smooth talker who knows that, when the gaggle of robber barons and their cult of useful village idiots start throwing their weight around, it's time to get serious. \n\nAt least I'm willing to say that I hate every single billionaire-servicing sycophant who made the past month a reality. And I know it's going to get worse under Pierre, who will sell out to Donald the first chance he gets if it means saving his own ass.\n\nNot that anyone still on the wrong side even cares at this point, many people are going to die in the years ahead, more than necessary. Unfortunately profit became more important than life a long time ago.

It’s frustrating not to be able to hear the Prime Minister in the entirety of his speech. Americans need to see what a real leader sounds like : articulate, sincere, concerned for the citizens of both countries.

One country has a Prime Minister / Leader and the other country has a orange moron who is NOT a smart man.

Canada has a strong leader. It's a shame our incredible country doesn't and hasn't for years. Biden surely wasn't a strong leader. Trump is clearly not a strong leader. We are an embarrassment

Thank you Mr Trudeau, from a US citizen, for speaking THE TRUTH and acting like a real leader of a country who is one of our friends and allies. Trump is an idiot who is taking our country into a spiraling disaster.

It is sad that another country's leader has to address the American people in a way that the American Congress can not seem to muster up enough sense to realize and speak about.\n\n CONGRESS! GET YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR BUTTS AND GET IT TOGETHER.

This must be Trump's brilliant plan to get everyone to self-deport to a country that has political leaders that actually care about their citizens... Trump will later want credit for bankrupting America.. the biggest bankruptcy in history...never one bigger... And for all this Trump will want to have his profile added to Mt Rushmore... and no doubt hand himself a Medal of Honor... I'm surprised he hasn't given himself a Purple Heart, for taking a shot to an ear. Who voted for this demented man anyway?
