That was an excellent speech by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau!

Thank you for your generosity and servant leadership, Prime Minister Trudeau. I am your grateful neighbor in the capital of Vermont, USA.

I have been living in the Canada ? for more than eight years, and even though I am not a citizen, I consider it my home. I’m so proud of you, prime minister Trudeau —this is how a true leader should speak. We are all in this together. Love you Canada ??, and I would give my life for this country if needed. ❤?

As an American from South Carolina, I am so impressed and appreciative of Canada and Prime Minister Trudeau. His speech is Sincere and Caring… so Refreshing!! I am with Canada and Ukraine!!

Americans Support and Respect Canada, Canadians and Prime Minister Trudeau.

I'm Italian and I wish my country, and every country, had a Prime Minister as Mr. Trudeau. If I were Canadian I would mumble before substituting him.\n??

As an American, I apologize to Prime minister Trudeau and Canada. I really think we have a hitler in the works. God help us.

I am American and awfully ashamed of Donald Trump and his gang. Loved it when the Prime Minister Trudeau said Donald, the Wall Street Journal said you are a smart man but this is a very dumb thing to do. Eloquent, classy and presidential, totally opposite from Donald and gang.

So sorry Prime Minister Trudeau to u and ur lovely Canadians! For this trade war! We as Americans well most of us feel really bad We r going threw so much more hardships because of dumb decisions going on in our government

Trudeau is second to none the worst prime minister Canada has ever had. He’s crippled Canada, turned it into a third world country. Canada has the highest individual debt of any country on earth.

??‍?U.S. Presidential Candidate Kamala Harris is probably thinking about those who voted for Donald Trump after watching Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, watching probationary federal workers being fired across the country, and threats to dismantle Social Security, How Ya Like Me Now? ? \n(Song by Kool Moe Dee ‧ 1987)

Bravo Prime Minister Trudeau, Bravo. Informative, and direct. Enough is enough President Trump.

You go Prime minister Trudeau \nProud to be Canadian

Trudeau is a complete failure. A disgrace. Nothing more than Canada's worst Prime Minister.

Just like with 9/11, the U.S. never wastes an opportunity to squander the good will of the rest of the world. Prime Minister Trudeau, you need not justify all your wonderful country has done and is doing to stop the fentanyl issue...nothing will satisfy the MAGA crazies who refuse to take responsibility for anything, including their enforced poverty and disillusionment that leads to addiction.

Sad that Justin Trudeau has become a good Prime Minister now that he is leaving.

PRIME MINISTER JUSTIN TRUDEAU, YOU ARE EDUCATED, THE FELON THAT HOLDS THE SEAT IN THE US IS NOT!!!!!!!!! IF HE WASN'T SO STUPID, HE WOULD KNOW THAT TARIFFS ARE PAID BY THE US, SO THAT SHOWS HIS STUPITIDITY!!!

Thank you, Prime minister Trudeau for your honesty to the American people.

I came to Canada 45 years ago from Colombia and I love Canada. It gave me opportunities to become a proud citizen without forgetting my roots.\nI stand with Prime Minister Trudeau and we are all proud of him .

To CNN - get the quote correct, Prime Minister Trudeau quoted the Wall Street Journal. Reflect that in your headline!!\n\nIn terms of this video, I do love watching a true leader speak. \n\nThe Prime Minister is the very opposite of the bloated excuses for human beings - the current president and vice president of the USA, oh and their oligarchs who are equally vile.

Whether you have been in favour or not of Justin Trudeau. He has stepped up and has spoken for all of us Canadians. He is showing strength, class, democracy, and freedom, and his love for all Canadians. We thank you, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.!! ??❤️??❤️??

Justin Trudeau our Best Actor Prime Minister - More talks and drama BUT No good economic plan for Canada. All name blaming!

Our borders aren't safe. Trudeau opened up our borders to allow all these immigrants into our country and mow have ISIS terrorist here in Canada. Trudeau is the biggest terrorist in this country. We wouldn't be in this mess if it wasn't for Trudeau. He is the biggest liar. He put Canadians at risk. Since Trudeau got in the suicide rates have gone up and it's Trudeau who is at fault. We are fed up with what he has and continues to do and we are feeling completely lost with how we are going to get out of this mess. Canadians want an election for our prime minister. We want Trudeau gone. We don't have any faith in our government officials.

Dear Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Canada, thank you for your intelligent, eloquent, and compassionate response to this debacle. Blessings and hope to all the good, honest, and hard-working individuals in both of our countries. May love and logic prevail.

Prime Minister Trudeau epitomizes a true leader. I wish he was my country's leader. Kudos to him for directly addressing the P.O.S. who calls himself our leader. Thank you for your support of the American citizens and empathizing with us as we have to endure yet another term.

At this present time and in this current governmental climate, I do believe that changing a leader now would hurt Canada. Trudeau has first hand experience and has dealt with Trump and his tantrums, this isn’t Trudeau’s first rodeo. I am concerned with Trump antics another leader could be influenced with charm and falsehoods which Trudeau has already confidently stood up against.\nAnd for a moment, let’s think a little bit further out of the box. This isn’t about fentanyl as Prime minster Trudeau pointed out. This is about making life for Canadians extremely difficult and chaotic. It’s to bring division between the United States and Canada, and with Trump joking and jokes are not jokes sometimes they become reality Canada being a 51st state. Trump Being friends with Putin, with Russian ships in our Arctic Ocean think on this for a minute. Putin decided to invade Ukraine to expand his make believe empire. President Trump and Vladimir Putin working together. Hasn’t Trump said he wants Canada to be part of the USA and wants our Prime Minister to be a governor how insulting. How very insulting to the Canadian people who not just live in Canada, but are also united Canadians.

Trudeau can be awarded for the most useless prime minister. Woke Guy flowery speech?

Mr Trudeau is a brilliant prime minister of canada.The right thing to do is simiply retaliate Mr Trump agenda.He puts his people and protection of their jobs in right way while Americans run with a few billioner.Canada's Government the right man with skills to lead the country.

Bravo Prime Minister Trudeau. I'm American but I support you and Canada. ??❤️?

Bravo Prime Minister Trudeau…I wish we had a leader like you, articulate, intelligent and a great sense of decorum…instead we have the OHB

Prime minister Trudeau you are a strong brilliant leader. Our USA chose an orange lying criminal, so embarrassing.

Well done Prime Minister Trudeau …California here ….we are totally behind you …can we become a Canadian Province please …so glad you are not intimidated by the OHB!

Good for you Prime Minister Trudeau and Canada

I wished, US had such a great president than Trudeau is prime minister to Canada. Not such a stupid idiot.

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau … the malignant narcissistic bully needed this reality check. Well done. ??

Justin Trudeau is out any day now so I wonder if the new prime minister will sing the same song. Thank You Justin Trudeau for your service once you term is completed. I remember in Dec 2024 your citizens wanted you gone but I'm sure they're appreciating you civil duty.

Haven't heard from Prime Minister Trudeau addressing the trade imbalance between the U.S. and Canada. This is what is all about.

Bravo Prime Minister Trudeau. More of this please. The whole world needs to standup to the demented and perverted convicted felon and his spineless puppets. The American people do not want this either.

Great speech, Prime Minister Trudeau. Nuff said. Real Americans support you & are listening.

Canada: our closest ally and our closest friend. No truer words ever spoken, Prime Minister Trudeau. Were it not for our government, and by government, we mean the idiots in charge of our executive branch, we would have no new tarriffs. Left to our own devices, we might be reasonable, though that is somewhat dubious given our recent plebecite, which reintroduced the world to the sick, evil terrorist organization known as the Trump administration.

This was the best speech Prime Minister Trudeau ever gave, hands-down. As a Canadian, I pray for President Trump to come to his senses. May Canadians and Americans stick to our long and enduring friendship and not let politicians divide us. ✊️

Justine Trudeau is great prime minister of Canada?? ?

As a 60 year old Canadian: Justin Trudeau is the WORST Prime Minister in our histor.

Bravo Prime Minister Trudeau\nI am giving you a standing ovation!\nAs many of my fellow Americans are! We will always love our Canadian neighbors ?

Im so proud of our Prime Minister Trudeau for fighting our beautiful country Canada. God bless Canada.

It is very sad that Trudeau waited until he was having the door slammed behind him to actually get a backbone. While his words sound great - they mean nothing. He will not be our Prime Minister for long. He literally has about 2 weeks. It’s the equivalent of taking a dump on your bosses desk because you won the lottery. No consequences.

Sending love to Canada from Australia. Prime Minister Trudeau’s speech was spot on - these tarrifs from US are ridiculous. I will be specifically seeking out Canadian products to do my little bit to help.

Why has it taken until today for Justin Trudeau to talk like a man (like a Prime Minister); to speak like politics was not just about the liberals, but actually about our country and the United States.

And please educate D T that Our Prime Minister Trudeau should not insulted by calling him Governor.

Prime Minister Trudeau, thank you for being reasonable, rational and calm. Trump puts billionaires first not the 99% of us. We do not want to harm our Canadian friends and we will work hard to impeach Donald.
