This is what leadership looks like! Canada True North Strong and Free!

Hi Canada! Uh, neighbor, can we borrow a cup of sane, intelligent , well-spoken leadership?

Articulate…Adult…Mature…Speech from People/Citizen focused Leadership❤?

This is Leadership right here. Real leadership.. God Bless this world, and \n Canada we love you? Mr. Zelensky stay strong too...

Mr. Trudeau, like Mr. Zelinsky are strong caring smart men who are showing us as citizens of The United States what a weak dangerous bully narcissistic leadership we have! This will hurt us not only with buying things, but alienating our country when there is a time of great need, like an, God forbid, attack!..People....WAKE UP before it's too late! Do you think putin isn't waiting for our country to become vulnerable??? so he can turn on us too!! WAKE UP

I cannot stand Trudeau. I have almost not agreed to a sentence this man has spoken in his entire leadership. He nailed here.

Anyone listening to this tyrant must have a short memory. He has taken your right to defend yourself , your freedom of speech, remember the trucker protest? This guy is a globalist cuck. Hope you guys vote in better leadership.

Yes, the number two in the Oval Office is Pence, and his words often come across as cheap, bullying tactics. Instead of offering real leadership or thoughtful discussion, he uses language that tries to intimidate and put others down. His approach often feels like he's trying to hold onto power by scaring people, rather than standing on solid ground with strong ideas. This kind of talk may work for some, but it only creates more division and gets in the way of real progress.\nThe biggest mistake was introducing tariffs without any backup plans in place. The bottom 60% of U.S. citizens will likely struggle to make ends meet in less than two years, stuck behind the barriers of these tariffs. The idea that South American countries might step in to help the U.S. seems unrealistic. More likely, the U.S. will find itself isolated, facing political instability—and to put it bluntly, a loss of trust—thanks to an overinflated ego and a sense of entitlement.\nCould the U.S. turn to African countries for their natural resources? It’s possible, but this effort probably won’t be successful. Most African nations, except for those in the Sahel region, are just beginning to recover from the effects of colonialism. Many are now building their own paths and are more likely to align with China’s influence rather than the U.S. Even if the U.S. tries to get resources from Africa, it will likely face challenges from both local resistance and growing competition from China.

I miss and desire this clarity, and transparency in government leadership positions. Succint, clear, honest, and direct.

?Trudeau is a bad joke and worse, a liar. Trump demands secure borders to protect our citizens. Trump is establishing RECIPROCAL tariffs to improve our economy in a fair and just manner. Trudeau says Canada is “polite,” but the hockey game between us proved otherwise. Canada is a neighbor we can live without. \nHopefully Canada will return to sanity, common sense and decency under new leadership and we can resume previously held good relations with our Northern neighbors.

Most Americans are so disgusted and embarrassed right now by the ? leadership at this moment. I know I didn’t vote for this. ?

Wow! This is what leadership looks like!

In times like this, it an opportunity for leaders around the world to show competence and leadership. American people must be smarter than their leader, they seem hypnotized. Hope when they wake up, wont be too late to repair the damage.

Watch this closely. This is the sound of prudent, rational leadership. This was once the sound of our nation's leadership. Now, we have the voice of a petulant man-child driven by either selfish ego and personal financial goals, or sheer ignorance, working hard to tear apart our government and democratic society. To our congress: GET OFF OF YOUR KNEES! If you won't stand together then stand alone. BUT DO STAND UP AGAINST THIS THREAT TO OUR NATION. Fear is a reflex... cowardice is a choice!

With everything happening in crypto, Trump’s reckless trade war only worsened global instability.\n\nHis leadership relied more on branding, risk-taking, and debt management than genuine financial success. \nHe faced massive losses, multiple bankruptcies, and leveraged tax loopholes. \nRather than a self-made mogul, his wealth was propped up by debt, branding, and media influence.\n\nIn the early 1990s, heavy debts led to several Trump business bankruptcies, including three Atlantic City casinos and the Plaza Hotel.\nBy 1995, he reported a $916 million tax loss, potentially allowing him to avoid federal income taxes for up to 18 years.\n\nSigh, standby for tough times. #hopium

True Leadership instead of this bullshit from Donald J. Putin

I am a U S citizen that stands for Canada. U S leadership is disgraceful. It is not leadership, it is only about money and power for him

That’s what real leadership, diplomacy and politics looks and sound like. No shouting,lying or name calling.

How about Canada annex Wisconsin? Healthcare, affordable drugs, sane leadership sounds good to me! Got milk, Canada? You could have all the milk, cheese and beer that Wisconsin has to offer ?

As a proud US citizen who loves her country, I am disgusted over so many actions of Trump/Vance/Musk that display a lack of care for the American people and a disdain and arrogance for other nations such as ?? Canada. Trudeau you speak with character, clarity, class and thoughtfulness - ?. If only our own leadership had an ounce of any of those characteristics of true leadership such as Canada has displayed…

Proud to support our Prime Minister and his strong leadership. We stand together for CANADA!

This is what real leadership looks like. Thank you Trudeau for speaking the truth to Trump. Unfortunately, it will probably fall on deaf ears.

True leadership!

Wow, articulate strong talk, no lies, no propaganda, no bluster, none of the total and complete unrelenting bullshit we have endure on a daily basis from the sociopathic delusional asshole that currently occupies the White House. It should be no surprise that our leadership chooses to blame all of our problems on someone else, because that's exactly what they do every day. We have a drug problem, it's because of Canada and Mexico. We have an immigration problem, likewise Mexico and Canada. We have a deficit problem, that's because of the EU and NATO. Our problem is our government, specifically Republicans who won't accept the simple truth: you want to solve problems you have be disciplined and smart. You have to spend money to fix your problems instead of blaming some else and trying to get them to pay for it. You pay to solve your problems instead of giving huge tax cuts to people who don't need them. You stop lying to your people. You want to change the trade imbalance? Build products that other countries want at a price that makes sense. The EU has no laws that prevent American car manufacturers from selling their cars in Europe. American car companies make shitty cars. They make cars that are too big, that don't make sense for European where streets can be very small and gas is very expensive. The US manufacturers don't make a single small car in thos country that can compete with European cars. US agricultural products are laced with poisonous chemicals that are outlawed in the EU because they kill people. Our governmeent doesn't give a shit about that because to grow healthy food means you have to cut profits, almighty dollars, instead of grow things that the rest of the world will accept. We have an idiot for president who thinks he knows more than anyone else and an idiot party that won't tell him the truth. This is going to cost us big time. We are going into recession, probably a long one because we don't have real leaders and the president on his best day is nothing more than a reality TV personality, and not a very entertaining one at that.

Stand aside, Trump. You've been kicked to the curb by a true leader in North America. Canada, and Mexico have shown the world how intelligent leadership and courage crushes whatever the random Russian-sucking fuck that Trump does.

This is what true leadership is. I like that man already. Justin Trudeau is what we should have more leaders like him in the world. Watch and Learn Donald.!!

Dear Canada, most of America does not want this either! And we are stuck with poorly chosen leadership! And as Citezens of America, what can we do to put an end to this?

Please accept my apology. Not all America supports Trump and his efforts to smear our image which has always stood up for Democracy. Trump is so wrong for leadership of the Free World. God bless Canada which is courageous to stand up agains’t Trump and Putin when American seem to be totally confused about where their loyalty should remain.

This is what Leadership looks like.

True Leadership!\nI am a United States citizen and I agree with and applaud everything you said today!\nOur President is a reckless and lawless individual.\nMay God bless both of our wonderful Nations!

This is what a sound mind and logical leadership looks & sounds like

This is leadership people. Dictator Trump will fall.....

Good for Justin Trudeau. As a Mainer , he has my support 100% ❤ . I love America. But - - our current system, and leadership are Un - democratic! ? They have ruined ? our system of government.

If you are watching Trump, this is leadership.

He is a true leader unlike our embarrassing moronic leadership!

Thank you PM Trudeau for your leadership!!! I wish we in America, had that! I am so sorry you and the rest of the world have to deal with this disaster Donald has created!! We as Americans are suffering, but we appreciate so much you all having solid boundaries to hopefully keep our cancer from spreading in the world!!

True LEADERSHIP! Come on world leaders … take a que from Trudeau

The pace at which the trump administration is dismantling USA leadership is startling.

It’s despicable how the leadership of our country ?? is moving and what’s crazy is they think it’s a big flex. I also agree, this tariff war is novice at best. Canada doesn’t deserve this.

As a normal Canadian person, I don’t see why my family and I have to suffer because of political beefs. Thanks “Leadership”.

As An American citizen I stand for righteous leadership and I stand with Canada, European allies and Mexico. Do what you have to do to protect your country your economy and your citizens. TRUMPSKI and his lap dog JD Vancekoff are ruining the United States of America!! They're not leaders, they're Russian assets, strongmen wannabe's and a scourge in the historical record of our nation. And all of the misled, under educated and misinformed folks who follow this man and his cult of personality have been lead astray by the propagandist on FOX News and right wing social channels and will pay for this just like the rest of us. Trump and his cronies are ONLY about enriching THEMSELVES and their friends and families. Not the working man and woman. Just the autocrats and oligarchs.

True leadership right here - support from Ohio USA

From the UK, well said Mr Trudeau. You're showing real leadership, thank you

As a Canadian, I am proud of our leadership on the tariffs. We are polite people, but we refuse to be bullied. How can Trump treat our country this way when he cozied up to dictators? Well, my siblings who are Americans won't see me for awhile. I have to stand with my country. Proud to be Canadian. We as a country are united against tyrannical behavior.

This is what leadership is all about.

Now that’s a true leader. Why can’t we have true mature level headed leadership in this country. We could have but millions of pure gullible people decided not to choose a a woman leader with patience and understanding over your crass idiot neighbor that loves to start trouble then complain you are the problem.. not him.

Sorry Canada. Our leadership is collectively brain dead.

That is what real leadership looks like.

This is the leadership we need in the USA.
