Crazy how the laws and societal pressures preventing us from speaking critically about our own president has forced Americans to rely on Canada to speak for them. Thank you Trudeau for keeping freedom of speech alive

What a speech. So refreshing to hear a leader speaking and addressing the President and the American people. All Canadian should be proud. Go ?? Canada John NZ\nJ

THIS IS A LEADER! This is how a leader should speak. Without an ounce of arrogance but full of factful compassion. Truth be told, Mr Trudeau is one of my favourite leaders of a country. He may have issues, but which leader doesn't right. Look at what Trump is doing now. Great speech, Sir. I feel so proud of ??.

Still cannot stand Trudeau! And his message or speech is far more out of touch than Ford's in an interview or CNN or BBC.

Please keep in mind, that all the issues we have in Canada are because of Trudeau. He's been in power for almost a decade. The widespread drug abuse and crime is because of him being weak on policy and handing out drugs like candy paid by tax payers. More people died from fentanyl in Canada than our soldiers in WWII. That is all on his watch. He is only making these changes because of Trump. What kind of a leader is Trudeau to only become Canada first when a person from outside the country threatens him? He is a horrible leader and a traitor to the Citizens and the Country we call Canada. Regardless of what his speech is, he cannot be trusted with his globalist agenda. He has stepped down (thank goodness!!) and Canada is looking forward to having Pierre Poilievre as our PM.

Whoever wrote this speech is savage #bigthings!

Beautiful speech, direct, to the point and no BULLSH**T\nIt looks to me like Trump is moving to have the US no longer as the leader of the democratic world.\nI think the EU is looking to take up the mantle, though maybe a battle with Russia !

Great job representing our awesome country. This is a terrible time for Trudeau to step down. Right now he has the respect of all other counties. What am amazing speech.

A speech you can actually understand that is coherent is a nice change! I love how media makes out like Canada is escalating things...it started with Trump, just like Putin invaded Ukraine!

I wish our president Trump has an speech like this not like my coworkers in the bar at Friday night beer

Remember this fake speech when he/Canada bends the knee. And the north border is not safe at all everybody and everything has been coming right across since the early 1900’s

An amazing speech delivered with compassion and dignity. Prayers again for world\nPeace. ❤

Well done!!! Great speech ❤

Great speech Prime minister

Great Speech!

Who knew Mr. Trudeau would rise a hero after his resignation. Such an inspiring speech.

Nice speech from trudeau

We love to hate Trudeau here in Canada, but I fully approve his speech.

This is the kind of speech we should see more often. Not only the speech is well articulated and full of logical flow to understand intent. \nWe should air less of Trump’s speeches. They are a bad influence for kids’ speech learning.

Great speech.. hits all the right notes..

“blistering” speech… LOL\n\nTrudeau is a ?.

Great speech Justin

Great speech! This is how a mature politician sounds like. I wouldn t be suprised to find out that Trump is some sort of russian agent. He must be stopped. People like him are the cause for the start of downfall of powerfull nations. I bet China wasn t ever this happy like now

I am Korean. Your clear and determined speech is exact, justified compared to Donald.\nI support Canada

A speech trump could never do….brilliant

My god, eloquent, diplomatic, handsome,, can deliver a very clear speech and does it in 2 languages. And this guy has to deal with the orange retard? Make Trudeau president of the US please and let the whole world sleep in peace once again.

Says this speech while having parliament closed due to his party losing majority vote

Brilliant speech

This might just be one of the most articulate and impactful speeches of modern day history.\nI'm genuinely so envious that the United States doesn't have a leader like Canada does currently. I, like many other Americans, stand with Canada on this! ❤

Excellent speech! Well done Prime Minister Trudeau, thank you

The first time ever I do appreciate a speech from Trudeau. Best speech ever of Trudeau !

BS speech

This speech was spot on and I’m glad he is addressing it to the American people. Cause our leaders obviously don’t care.

First time in my whole life that I'm proud of Trudeau... Again I've always hated is way of governing...This is the speech of a real leader...\n\nPlease realize that Poilievre is a JDVance with the view of the orange orangutan... Be careful cause they have the SAME agenda! (Abortion and women's rights, etc...)

Good speech. Tell the blighters. They abused us all in WW1, They abused us all in WW2, they abused us in Suez, now it seems they are cosying up tp their old Russian bed-fellows, to finish us and the Europeans off. This time together, ladies and gentleman. It should be us against the greedy US madmen politicians.

I’m not a Trudeau fan. I’m Canadian. But I am in full agreement with this speech. Well done.Justin.

Feels so good to listen an articulate speech. A three yr toddler speaks better than the orange Buffon

Great speech Justin. Not a fan, but well spoken with actual content!!

Great speech from a real leader ? Wishing Canada well ?? from your real allies in the UK ??

Absolutely marvelous speech, the way it was constructed, and the way it was delivered ❤?

Excellent speech

Kudos to Trudeau, a lucid speech and an excellent response to the unstable Trump's about-face.\nCanada has always shown itself to be a friend and ally of the USA, it is unfair that Trump does this to you!\nCome on Canada, we Europeans are with you!\nFrom Italy.

The reporter addressing this speech as anti-americanism is the most shocking thing. Let me put it clearly for you in case you don't understand, CNN: isolationist policies lead to reactionary policies. American policies are anti-canadian, NOT the other way around.

Best coherent North American Leaders’ speech I’ve heard in recent history. ?? ?? ?? ?

I stand with Canada and Ukraine Well done Mr Trudeau that was the best speech i have ever heard well done ?

As a Canadian Ive disliked Justin for many things hes done to our country, but 100% salute him for this speech he has done today, its heartbreaking to see this trade war happening between our closest neighnours

Canadian here. Wake up Canadians. Many people are praising Trudeau for this speech. Don't. He is out as Liberal leader within the week. He doesn't have to follow through on anything he said. Plus, he just stated that he's smart enough to suggest that Trump just put a 25% tax on Canadian goods for Americans but he also thinks that you are dumb enough not to realize that he just put a 25% tax on Canadians for American goods. Trudeau basically created the situation for these tariffs (open border to let anyone come here). He loves this as he gets to take the apparent moral high ground for the first time in his life and wants this speech to be the way he is remembered rather than years of failing Canada. Forget about the last 9 years and vote Liberal if you are a fool.

Very good speech! But I think it is in vain: Trump and his MAGA fan boys won't get it. Otherwise, Canada and the EU and the UK could deepen and widen their economic relationships

From Germany. Great speech, well thought out and straight to the point. He doesn’t let himself be intimidated but acts courageously.

Great speech Justin Trudeau! Well said. ??
