Mr Trudeau, we love you and wish you stay in power!! You are an excellent leader! Much respect❤\nLove from Texas

Very proud of our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. He's always had Canadians best interests first. I wish he can continue to lead us especially in this troubling times???❤️

What are great speech! i wish we have leader like Trudeau, not wacky,crazy and dumb as Trump.

I respect you so much for this, Mr. Trudeau and I do not blame you. I wish the people could do something, but the people have spoken and no one listens. We are just trapped here. I feel powerless to do anything. I can’t afford to fight in oligarch I have to survive this country and work my ass off just to live paycheck to paycheck. I haven’t got time for this shit. I guess I’m gonna have to quit my job and become a full-time political activist! That’s not realistic I have children. I have an autistic grandchild who is also blind that I’m raising I ain’t got time for this shit but you gotta do what you gotta do. It’s time for a revolution.

I am an American and I support Canada and Mexico for fighting back. The only way to win with this bullying regime in America is to be strong and punch back. The Felon does not understand diplomacy. Prime Minister Trudeau you are a gentleman, you have done everything possible, even allowed yourself to be humiliated by the US, and to what end? Do not bow down nor kiss the ring. Do what you have to to defend your country. Trump only understands strength, so Canada should be strong and fight back. Wish you well.

I wish Justin Trudeau was America's President

I am American and as an independent i truly apologize ,and im ashamed in out elected leader and the incapable cabinet . i did not vote for him and i hope we can get control of our house again from this nuthouse i wish u well and hope that we can all get through this together instead of allowing him to continue to decide. And also i want to give Justin Trudeau the credit of a great speech. Its a breath of fresh air. I stand with everyone whos on the side of right and just peaceful interactions.

I wish Trudeau was our president...from a heartbroken American..

I wish Trudeau was our President.

I wish Trudeau was our leader.

Very good speech President Justin Trudeau!!! Wish you come back for our President for another 4 years or more! You are strong, professional and work for people of Canada. You care for your country and not against. We need you ?

Luv'n Trudeau.❤ We want your sanity and eloquence here brother. Wish you could be eligible to run for US Prez in '28. We reject our dumbass ??.??

I know PM Justin Trudeau has had his critics but he is far more of a statesman than Trump or Vance could ever wish to be! Their actions are tantamount to treason and the great American citizens are being thrown under the bus.

I wish you well Canadians during this time. Well spoken Mr. Trudeau

This is phantastic. This is a harsh and direct response! I would have wished that the German (almost Ex-) chancellor Scholz would have reacted the same way after Putins attack on Ukraine in 2022. Dangerous moves need immediate and harsh responses ! Trudeau is a very good president!

Great speech Mr. Trudeau. Best wishes from the Netherlands. We will stand with you.

I almost wish Trudeau was staying. \nAlmost...

SO SORRY we have the A-hole sitting in Oval office that we do Mr. Trudeau!!! You know we're not those people who wish to be at war with any country....ESPECIALLY YOU!! PLEASE give us a minute while we work on getting free of this TYRANT!! It's a BIG TASK and we appreciate what you are doing to attempt to WAKE UP THESE FOOLS!!!!\nTHINK I'LL RELOCATE NORTH OF THE BORDER UNTIL THEN!!

As someone from the Netherlands, I wish our former prime minister and current NATO leader Rutte responded in a similar way to Trudeau. He was always a true politicians' politician, but the way he stood with the US right after the horrible treatment of Zelensky was a new low. If the majority of US allies responded in a firm manner the way Trudeau just did, it might be enough to scare some Republicans into doing the right thing.

Thank you, Mr. Trudeau, for your courageous and truthful words. U.S. citizens know Canada isn't acting against U.S. citizens, but against the U.S. Federal government as well it should. Canadians are lucky to have you in your role. I wish we here in the U.S. had someone of your caliber in the White House.

Yay Canada! That’s the right response. I just wish Trudeau could say Trump and his dictator ship administration and not the Americans because half of us here hate that man and completely disagree with his policies.

Wish Trudeau would run in 2028.

America now has an illiterate, severerly nearsighted, reactionary, child- like buffoon as President. Apologies to Canada, I wish we had a President like Trudeau.

American here in the PNW standing with Canada! I wish our current administration was as well-spoken as Trudeau! Instead we get the orange criminal and his chainsaw wielding minion. ?

Trudeau, Sir well said. Our Government wishes to hurt us. And you broke down what you have been doing. Your speech is well understood and delivered. Our pockets here in America is already strained, we don’t need this tariff. ??

Prime Minister Trudeau, I am sorry President Trump's irresponsible ideas and choices affect so many negatively which includes you and your Canadians, and me and my Americans, as well as so many other. He should be ashamed of himself, but we all know that a narcissist feels only joy in hurting others. I worry every day, not just for the people of the United States of America, but also for all people around the world affected by this horrible man. I stand up and speak up with the hope that it makes a difference. Those I know are doing the same. I have heard so many republicans that voted for Trump, so very sorry now that they did. His irrational behavior is worthy of impeachment. Your speech, Prime Minister Trudeau, was honest and sincere and I appreciate your being so candid. I wish President Trump and Vice President Vance had the character you have. Best Wishes to you and the People of Canada, we have been friends for a long time and I would love to continue this friendship. Remember there are Americans here that appreciate you and your country.

Can we have Trudeau replace the orange dummy that we have in the White House? Just a wish!

I wish Trudeau was our president.

I wish Trudeau was our president

I wish Trudeau was our president. Awesome speech. Truthful, candid, and blunt.

Please do not call Donald Trump and Elon Musk the government of the United States. They are the idiots of America. I am an American and I will stand with Canada and the rest of the world against Trump, Musk, and Russia. I wish Justin Trudeau was the POTUS! We don't have a POTUS, we have an orange grifter in chief. He is deranged, spoiled and stupid. Our largest trading partner and the orange clown fucks it up, wow!

Wish Trudeau was the US president

This speech is unbelievable impressive!!!! Wish there would be more guys like Mr Trudeau, his words got me 100% and I hope something or somebody stops this crazyness and incompetence of this so called President of the US. It is really sad and insane what‘s going on between the US and their allies. Greetings and good vibes from Germany!

I wish we had a leader like you in the US Mr. Trudeau! i never voted for Trump. He is a horrible president.

I love you Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, you are good & forthright. Wish i could move to Canada!

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau thank you for your address to Americans, to the american Bully in chief, and to your people. I am among those who started pushing back before trump took office, many are. We’re watching legislation and countering it. It won’t be easy, but we, the other half who understand that trump is crooked and dysfunctional, will not give up. Generally, Americans are not great when it comes to hitting the pavement and letting our voices be heard, but we’re getting much better. We need to be more like France, but without the destructive automobile fires and other property destruction. Life will be hell here, in my own democratic country, until the Bully is gone. I want the entire republican party gone, they only serve themselves via stock insider information, and messed up wishes to control a dystopian society while kowtowing to the billionaires. I want the democrats rebranded to acknowledge the important social programs we have. Let’s face it, they did not protect us from this trump/project 2025 takeover. Instead they allowed unchecked lies, and the ability to buy his way into office with so many felonies under his huge belt. In a country that is intellectually compromised, lies are very effective weapons against democracy. We need better hate laws to control this lying issue.

Mr. Trudeau, I wish you could be the American president. You have more of what we need than trump ever thought about. To my Canadian friends, my apologies. My country has entered an embarrassing period of time. We will resolve this, but it will take time. In the meantime, please know that the problem is our president, not our people.

I wish we were reasonable enough to have someone like Justin Trudeau as a president

I wish I could move to Canada where there are actual “rational thinking leaders”. It is so refreshing to listen to President Trudeau…he seems so sane, so even tempered and SO normal and he presents himself as a very mature thinking adult with excellent leadership, communication and motivational skills. So sad that we cannot say that about Trump and his pathetic “cult-like” followers!

I wish we had a President as articulate as Trudeau, someone who can express coherent thoughts and speak the truth without acting like a mob boss!

How I wish Justin Trudeau continue as the Canadian prime minister good man and good response to that idiot called Donald Trump.

It’s not your fault Trudeau. We know it’s trump’s fault. He’s a rat bastard and I didn’t vote for him. You take care of your good people. As an American citizen, I wish you were our president! I stand with Canada ?? and Ukraine!??

Mr.Trudeau is a real inteligent person who remains very calm in such difficult conditions caused by Donald Trump ‼️\nI appreciate and admire Mr Trudeau how he responded to his friend neighbour Donald Trump ‼️\n God bless Canada and his Prime Minister Trudeau with best wishes from Germany ‼️??????✌️??

Trudeau has more class, empathy, intelligence and kindness in his baby toe nail than trump and vance put together. Wish he was our President.

This is HEARTBREAKING, because Trudeau is speaking to EVERYONE like a leader SHOULD!!! He left NO doubt how much he cares about his fellow citizens, and that their government will help them as much as they can!! \nThis is what AMERICANS dream about, a leader that cares about us!!! We wish and pray that our leader looked and spoke like that!!! \nCANADA is showing the WORLD what TRUE LEADERSHIP LOOKS LIKE!!! It's HEARTBREAKING for ALL the Canadian and American people that are gonna feel the pain, and NOT the BILLIONAIRES that are INTENTIONALLY hurting ALL Americans. \n\nI had a tear in my eye, because of the overwhelming pride I had for Canada and Trudeau!! \nAmericans are hanging their heads in embarrassment!!! \nGo Canada!!????\nGo Ukraine!!????

Go Canada! I wish America had an intelligent leader like Trudeau!

GOOD FOR YOU MONSIEUR TRUDEAU At least you have balls xxxx. I wish Europeans would do the same

Great guy. Trudeau rules.. I wish i have such Prime minister

I’m American and I wish we had a leader like Trudeau. To all the MAGA idiots that voted for Trump, thanks for ruining our country. It only took 6 weeks.
