I respect this video❤

Honestly the batshit crazy comment reflects the #1 concern most Canadians have with the United States. We have conservatives and religious types but they're all more or less respectful and they don't try to control Canadian society. In comparison, at least a fifth of Americans are borderline fascists, and none of us want anything to do with those types of people. Since Trump took office they've become a hundred times worse, as now they're even threatening annexation. Sorry if it's hard to accept, but America has a serious problem right now, even if you're a good person.

PM Trudeau you gained back my respect to you, I already disliked you but now I love you ❤️??

No-one respects him in the world of politics

Trump is doing all these crazy things but he is forgetting one HUGE thing. Canada & many other countries are Allies of America & while he's talking about tariffs & goodness knows what (I did watch his talk in Congress), at least respect your Allies. Trump is sleeping with the enemy & in all my years, I've never seen an American President turn on their Allies like this. He is a dangerous man for all the wrong reasons. I feel badly for the American people whom will be stuck between a rock & a hard place. I feel for the Canadian's whom don't deserve this. Trudeau speaks so genuinely & politely where Trump yells 'this is the way things will be'. \nI don't look forward to the next 4 years & many in my country (Australia) have said they won't even go to America while Trump is in Office. We have always loved Canada. We 'gather at Whistler' then go travel. Great country. Much love from your Aussie mates ❤❤

Too bad nobody respects him otherwise it would’ve meant something. He’s always been all talk and no action, hence why he’s resigned and nobody even cares. Maybe in his first year he did anything at all for Canada but since then he’s just stolen Canadian money for himself.

As a German: respect for this speech, Mr. Trudeau. Trump's policies are a blow to the democratic world. Apparently the madman in the White House wants to come to terms with a lying murderous dictator in Moscow.

USA is no longer aligned with democratic nations, it is with the autocrats. It's the dawn of a new world order. Glad Trudeau spoke to Donald in the way he did. To be clear. This is how a narcissist acts. He does not respect those who are closest to him - he does not care about allies and connection, he sees these folks (and nations) as weak - he is about control and domination. Narcs do this in their personal lives. And if you are not weak and don't bend to his will, they will unleash their actions to control - and if they have the power (and the prez is the most powerful person in the world) they will have all the power at this disposal and will not stop until they achieve their aim, destruction be damned. And that is why it was so dangerous to let Dump go without accountability. His deluded self thinks he's an unmitigated genius and he's the top of the food chain. For him it's blaring green lights all the way in his polluted mind. Dump 2.0 is unchecked now, so he is unleashing the narcissism disease upon the world.

Respect to Canada, from South Africa ??

Hey Canada, the European Union would respect you as a member among equals\n\nJust saying

Respect to Canada from Philippines ❤?

Respect to Mr Trudeau!

Great respect from Germany for this great speech !!

Donald Trump DIPLOMACY HAS A VERY NIG DIFFERENCE FROM ARROGANCE.. \n\nLEAD WITH RESPECT NOT THREAT..\nLEAD AS BY EXAMPLE NOT A DESTRUCTION..

Lol, what a dummy. Doesn't her know that that doesn't work that way? Sure go ahead and go for it, america accounts for almost 80% of Canada's total goods and service exports ? what makes this even more worse for Canada's prime minister is the fact that they recieve just over 60% of imports from guess who.... the United States. Where as america has the ability to stop all trade to canada all together, be just fine with the reserves we have. While increasing trade import and export with another country we already do business with, making them very happy in the process and still making huge savings in the process. When 80% and 60% of your exports and imports respectively. Consists of literally sharing its only common border with the united states would mean a complete scrap of the total infrastructure since they would hace then compensate through sea and air through the arctic and distances of 10x of what they are used to. Then it starts to make sense as to why trump wants Greenland. Look this it just a bluff by the Canadian prime minister that supposedly resigned not long ago but his tyrant ass don't really wanna leave. Plus, you really think dude can make up for all that loss and go find it through another contry? Hahaha? yeah okay good luck with that. Canada shoukd ne disappointed in the man even more. He's not for you, he's for himself and the best for him and the other lobbyists. ???

I respect President Trump's decision.

Respect from Brazil to our Canadian friends

I believe and respect President Trump! Also thank you Mr Elon Musk for doing a great job.God bless both of you.

Hi to all the people in Canada the British people are with you, Trump has pissed off its best ally and that's the British, he has upset our long term friends & ally which is Canada - that's the people and country we in England have massive respect & love for, I don't think Trump is doing a good job right now! ?

Great speech. I hope the respectable part of the world will not give in to the ill that´s going on in the USA

In the case of high treason, i.e. treason against the interests of the people of the country. Who came to power? A man who thinks not about the interests of the US people, but about the interests of a handful of billionaires, including political circles in Russia and China. The war against Ukraine is just the tip of the iceberg of the war of the ruling dictatorships of the Russian Federation and China against the poor strata of the people of their own countries, against Western civilization and the US and the EU as a part of it. This is clearly seen in the propaganda against human rights and freedoms in these countries, the destruction of trust between people. What to do in this case? Wait until the US as one of the foundations of modern civilization is destroyed by short-sighted supporters of anarchy, monarchies and psychopathic dictators who do not respect other people's borders and treaties? Doesn't Trump's actions contradict the basic principles of the US and Western civilization? The United States is a country of democracy, humanism, human rights and freedoms, a country that has become home to the world of many people who have improved the quality of life of billions of people all over the planet. Question: When will the current US President/poppet of dictatorships be impeached?

There are millions of Indian who don’t like Justin, but Justin, you have my respect with this speech.

more bull shyte from trudeau. fact: tariffs hurt the people who buy the goods. so canadian tariffs on usa goods means: CANADIANS WILL PAY MORE FOR USA GOODS! just as usa consumers will pay more for canadian goods subject to usa tariffs. if canada wants to return a punch, find other markets, trade with other countries, rid canada of the festering relationship it has with this facist state, usa. \nrealitycheck: both leaders( the turd and comb over clown) are supercharging inflation in their respective countries with this play acting of a trade war.

Huge respect to you brother, this kind of garbage mentality people are everywhere all around the world. Their heart starts burning when they see other than their Cast, ethnicity or religion's person doing Hardwork.

Respect from LA California?

Respect from the EU! GO Canada!

RESPECT FOR PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU

My respects Canada! My respects Trudeau! I am an American, but I support Canada. Trump is the worst and most shitty president ever in American history. I'm simply shocked that this criminal was brought back to power, obviously by those who just want to destroy America.

Didn't Trump that the rest of the world would respect the US again? Is that code for making the rest of the world hate/laugh at us? Mission accomplished!

The whole world watching each and everyone that how the excellent leadership that not only lead its country very well and also leads other countries with compassion, rational and pragmatic though, serious engagements for peace process to deal with conflicts, violence and war but the current leadership seems determined to push long established traditions of honesty, integrity, transparency, rationality, pragmatism and even common sense in deep crisis with unlimited stupidity, ignorance, violent leadership, rude language and flouting all long established rules of diplomacy thrown away overnight and ridiculing even global leaders who command great respect from international community and at the same time bluntly taking side with all dictators of the world and supporting, promoting, patronising violence, war, mass murder at the cost of priceless human lives! Horrible! The ghosts of Hitler return back in the largest democracies of the world!

Never had more respect for the Canadian Prime Minister. I'm elated there's a man in politics, not just any man, but a leading figure , who has the guts to speak frankly! Everyone needs to do this, Trump is siding with a vile dictatorship, he's made a bed with Putin - it's clear as day and it's also clear as day that his government is not a government for the people, but for the nepo-billionaires that it's now made up of. Similar to how the Russian government is made up of oligarchs. Democracy can never be taken for granted, it's something we need to fight for!

From India, wish we had a prime minister like Trudeau! One who shows integrity, strength and sensibility. Support & respect to Canada, Ukraine & EU!

you have been a lapdog for so long and you suddenly demand respect? Trump pick his fight well, this is a fight you can't win since you are so used to sitting down. So sit down again. This speech seems more like a beg.

Americans, wake up to yourselves. You all knew Trump and his family are corrupt, you all knew his fellow Americans have found him guilty of federal crimes, including rape, and you all knew his intention to follow the so-called “Project 2025.” You all knew that Vance is a man-child, too. You knew Trump’s family profited from corrupt pork barrel dealings that grew out of his first term as your president. You knew he has a penchant to be an autocrat, like his friend in North Korea and the other ghastly dictator in Russia. You knew his intentions on the world stage. And you knew Trump’s mind has failed. Still, most of you actively chose to reinstall that monster in your highest office. You have replaced the king your forefathers fought, killed and died to remove from ruling the new territories that were to be created to be free of dictatorial power - something your grandparents, parents, brothers, sisters, sons and daughters, and your own good selves have killed and died to protect! Still, most of you chose to put this poor imitation of a man into your presidency. Soon you will look around and realise you are losing serious respect and dignity, allies and meaningful friends. And you will have done this to yourselves.

Trudeau got my respect back, with this speech...

Much respect from Italy.

I stand with Canada. What Musk and Trump are foing is sickening: they started a trade war to destroy Canada’s and Mexico’s smaller economies that would help the Musk-Trump regime to violate Canada’s independence, and annex Canada, take Mexico’s government under control, seize Greenland.\nThe 3 world’s dictators, Russia’s Putin, Musk’s and Trump’s new US, and China’s Xi abandoned any pretense of civility, or respect for international laws and agreements.\nThis is the new world of tule of brute force. I never thought that I would live in this nightmare!

As an American I respect this speech ?

Proud Canadian here! Respect to our prime minister, stand up Canada ??♥️

Respect! From China

This is why THE WORLD respects Trudeau. Dumb ass Trump thinks he's genius for imposing tarrif's to their long standing economic partners, but he is ACTUALLY DOING MORE HARM THAN GOOD to the american people. Countries will tarrif back hurting both businesses and the american people he so wish to give a good life to. They are a bunch of clowns who are basically just giving us good television. Americans are not dumb. Trump will keep on twisting and twising the narrative to sell his side of the story, but it's clear as day that the only back Trump has ever got is Putin's. Sadly, America is becoming a lapdog of Russia under Trumps pretentious leadership.

Americans must think that what their government is doing, Americans have been respected all over the world but these activities heart the world community.

Respect from France to our Canadian friends.

Tariffs generate US Gov income which will fund TAX CUTS for Trump and the wealthy...that's not dumb for Trumps personal income, but it is IMMORAL and dumb in every other respect

Mad respect from Romania for the leaders who are still defending the democracy. ?

True words. All respect to Canada ?? and Mr Trudeau from Germany ??

Respect Canada, from Spain ??. Join the European Union!!

as an american I may not stand behind trudeau's policies or past, but i felt pride and respect today seeing him speak directly to us god bless his soul and canada

Trump must respect people

Support from France, Mr Trudeau! RESPECT!
