I wish we could have a leader at least half as respectable as Trudeau. Sure he isn’t perfect, but this is a breath of fresh air and we are only a month in…

Trudeau, I wish you were America's president!!

I wish our President was like Trudeau!

As a 60 year old American, I wish I had a President as erudite and intelligent as President Trudeau.\n Sadly, America ended up with a stooge.\nGo Canada.

I wish we could have Trudeau as president. Alas, he is Canadian and we are stuck with a deadbeat tangerine toddler, who flunked Economics 101 because he doesn't understand that tariffs hurt consumers and result in a trade war. Yambo is an a$$.

Trudeau is so handsome and smart and good. I wish he was our leader here in the US. Can you come here and help us, please? We need help. I understand why you have to fight back against Trump. I can't stand Trump and what he and our government is doing but I don't know how to stop it. I sure didn't vote for him. Thank you Mr. Trudeau for all of your great work and commitment and governance. I stand with Canada.

I am not Trudeau's biggest fan by any way, shape, or form...\n\nBut he nailed it here. Wish he'd showed leadership like this for years before agreeing to step down, but better late than never.\n\nThe North will never f*cking bend the f*cking knee.\n\nIf you come for us we will come for you too.\n\nWarrior peoples don't cower from fights.\n\nCanadians are warriors, see our involvement in any war for proof.\n\nWake up, America, there's a Russian boot on your neck.

I can't understand why Canadians are not happy with him. I wish we had someone like Justin Trudeau to stand up to Trump over here.

I really wish we had a President that was as presidential as Trudeau. I'm so fucking tired of this overly dramatic, childish, reality TV bullshit we call a government.

I wish Trudeau could run for U.S. President

I wish Trudeau was president of USA. We'd be in a better place

Mr. Trudeau.. I wish you hadn't stepped down as PM. You're a noble leader for Canada.

Wishing I could read all 29k+ comments on this vid. Thank you, Trudeau. I hope Felon 47 and his MAGAs hear you.

I wish the rest of the world could understand how divided the US is because of Trump. I hate being lumped into the same group that voted for him. Preach on Trudeau. Shed some truth to the MAGA crowd that thought Trump was gonna revitalize the economy and lower inflation.

Wish the US had a President like Trudeau instead of the ignorant clown we have. God bless Canada and it's people.

I wish we had politicians like Trudeau in Romania. Well said Mr Trudeau. Chapeu

I am embarrassed as an American. Trump and his cronies have falsely promised their constituents that he is for the people. NO he never was FOR the people, he is for himself. Our ignorant Americans believed his BS and now they will suffer for their stupidity. President Trudeau you are a gentleman and a brilliant human being. I wish I could vote you back in. Trump has to be taken down.

Yay! President Trudeau! I wish I didn’t have to live with this crap from this criminal

I wish Trudeau was our president. I hate what is happening in the U.S. because of Trump and his minions. Putin must be gleeful at the destruction of the U.S. and all of the favors that Trump has given to him. The American people do not want this horror show that Trump and Musk has orchestrated. The Trump cult is bringing the downfall of America in the world. We are no longer the 'home of the free and the brave', and Trump is no longer the 'leader of the free world'. America will diminish and become a small, petty, stupid, country. I am glad for Trudeau, and Micron, and the UK and all of the democratic countries and people. I feel horrible for what is happening to Ukraine because of Trump. Mr. Trudeau, you are a fine and wonderful person and head of your country. I wish that you could help us out of this madness. :(

I STAND WITH CANADA and MEXICO! I wish Prime Minister Trudeau didn't resign!

I wish Trudeau would not say America but say Trump...

Wish Trudeau was our leader....

as an american i wish you luck canada and trudeau. i despise donald trump.

I can't be arsed to listen to this ? end, Trump just struck a 160 billion dollar deal in chip manufacturing that is only the start of what he is going to do for America.\nJust one deal has just put Trudeau back in his box ?\nThe sooner this commie establishment puppet is gone the better it will be for Canada.\nGood luck with this puppet talking for you Canada, I wish you well!

Trudeau is such a breath of fresh air ❤ Wish all President s had common sense ?

President Trudeau. You are awesome. Wish we had you to be ours in America. We dknt sng z dictator, like Trumpit!!!! He's a communist & dictator exactly like putin. ? God Bless you & your country. Dont back down & don't trust Trumpit on his word. He'll stab you in the back. Tou have good facts as some of our medis & democrats. Praying ? ? gor all of you. Be safe❤

With Trudeau on his way out, involved with no more negotiations, he can say it like it is. Love it! Love Doug Ford too. Canadas premier! Wish more would do the same.

Wonder how many Canadians are wishing that Trudeau hadn't been ousted as PM now. He's good.

American citizen here -- I stand by everything PM Trudeau just said 100%. (am so embarrassed I wish I could slink out of here) Americans will rightly suffer for the actions of dumb@$$ tRump. I'm sorry that the suffering extends across our borders. Stay firm Canada!!

I wish we had Trudeau as president over here.

Bravo Mr Trudeau! So many of us wish we had a leader like you.

Justin Trudeau, you did this to Canada. It’s so disrespectful calling the sitting President Donald. Why don’t you go raise carbon taxes, send our money to Ukraine and bring in another 10,000 Sudan’s when your people are sleeping on the street. This speech is a joke, look at yourself in the mirror and say all this to yourself. Also, stop lying that only a small percentage of fentanyl go into the states from Canada! You’re lying and need to stop holding our country hostage so the conservatives can clean up YOUR mess just like they’re doing in the US! Thanks to you many Canadians are excited and wish to become the 51st state because you’ve made Canada such a threat to the US National Security. You brought in millions of unvetted immigrants, terrorists and allowed so much crime. CNN shame on you. You’ve fed these poor people so many lies they have no idea of the corruption going on. Thank God Justin is gone. Bye Bye Governor Trudeau.

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!!

No fan of Trudeau's liberal policies. But this is a coherent understandable speech that agrees with all sense of logic reasoning. Best wishes for the Canadian people from The Netherlands

Unfortunately, Justin Trudeau speaks the truth. I wish we could get Trump and Vance out of office.

Prime Minister Trudeau was more than polite and kind. As he knows, Trump is not intelligent, and a pathological liar, wannabe dictator, narcissistic fascist and poor businessman to boot. Trump has bullied, threatened and failed to pay thousands of tradesmen and contractors that have worked for him and wishes to hurt them further by extending and increasing tax cuts to individuals and institutions that have not paid their fair share of taxes and social security since the Reagan years. The allegations that Trump has laundered money for Russian oligarchs since his association with Deutsche Bank began are substantial and should be investigated.

American here and wish our president was as sensible as Trudeau, problem is Trump is too stupid and Elon is too rich and controlling the U.S. which makes running this country a total disaster!!!\n\nImpeachment is not a suggestion it’s needed and needed NOW!!!! Republicans in elected positions step up and quit letting this country get dragged down.

I wish Trudeau was this amazing during his whole tenure. Respect where respect is due, this is an awesome speech.

Thank you Mr. Trudeau. Wish we had politicians of your caliber. And do what you have to do to help our people see how bad Trump and his ilk are for the US, the rest of us will be ready to heal our friendship when we can get rid of him.

I am glad Trudeau called Trump dumb ?. Indeed, Trump is the dumbest. I wish we had a leader like Trudeau.

As an American, I am in despair over the criminal actions of the Trump and his cronies. I wish Canada the very best in the future. I will always consider Canada and Canadians my friends. Bravo to you, Prime Minister Trudeau.

Mad respect for Trudeau! As an American, I wish we had a president like you. Can you buy the US? ?

Thank you, Mr. Trudeau, many of us Americans hate this too! I appreciate you distinguishing your relationship with the American people (those of us who are not for this), from the cruel leadership in the US who are imposing these harmful policies. I admire your leadership. You are a true, dignified, level headed leader. I wish we had that here in the US. I'm so sorry for what my government is doing to Canada?

Wish Trudeau was our president. Handsome and intelligent, the opposite of the orange turd in the White House.

Really wish Trudeau would have been this firm during his whole tenure because it would have crushed the rise of maple maga. He seemed too soft for too long. Either way, it's good to see now.

Trudeau is a class act imo... going out doing his job so well.. regardless of people unfairly hating on him.. wish i could say to him.. thank you sir

It's so bad that you have to paint Trump's belly in order not to make things worse just because you're telling the truth.\n\nAnyway, I have a lot of respect for Trudeau, he's a REALLY smart guy. I wish we had him as chancellor in Germany, instead of Darth Merz Vader who unfortunately awaits us here for the next 4 years. But well, one look at the USA is enough to see that it can get much, much, much worse.

Hugely impressive, factual and genuinely heart touching. Wish Prime Ministers/ Presidents of the other countries were at least One Tenth of Trudeau’s capability. Respects to this great democracy !

I wish Trudeau could stay in power...

I am a Canadian. I wish our jackass , so called PM would keep his very stupid mouth shut. We just hate the SOB. Trump hates him too and for good reasons. I wish Trudeau would just disappear and go to hell. He is such a scum bag . He should realize he is a f’n nobody in the grand scheme of things. Most people in Canada hate him. He should have called an election immediately. Instead he is aggravating the situation by his stupidity.
