Trudeau is a good leader who care's for both Canada and America USA . basically trump is a Russian

Trudeau is the man!!,we could only dream of having a leader like him.Reminds me that Canada is just a better version of the United States,they're better than us and much better off than we are....I mean they don't have a bunch of rich,disguisting pigs running the country or a fat orange wannabe dictator who is full of himself....Everything Trudeau had to say here couldn't be more right....

I think some leaders need mentors, and the Canadian prime minister should really school some ... But men this is what I call national delivery we will always support Canada all the way from Mama Africa

I know Trudeau has his problems but I’d rather have a leader like him than a leader like Trump, as an American, I’m jealous of you guys, I know he resigned but don’t pick Canada’s version of Trump.

Border in Canada is not secure. More than 1% comes through our border.\n\nThe 1.4 billion TALK of border bs, is sll talk! Nothing has been passed! Just talk. They've fine nothing because Trudeau suspended parliament do he wont lose an election.\n\nNone of the stuff he spoke of is implemented, NOTHING!\n\nDrop in seizures lol so you missed it before, but now you're missing more! Lol it's absurd. He doesn't protect us, he allows illegal guns in our cities, while banning legal firearms we use to protect ourself, banned!! From LAW ABIDING CITIZENS!!!\n\nTRUDEAU IS NOT OUR LEADER, HES A TREASONOUS POS!\n\nMore idiots, leading us into wars that cannot be won! Fk off Trudeau, get back to work!\n\nElection NOW!!! YOU LYIMG POS. Stand up for Canadians lol like the frozen bank accounts of truck drivers who rejected your illegal UNSCIENTIFIC MANDATES!! \n\nLIE LIE LIE, LIE ENOUGH, I GUESS HE BELIEVES HIS OWN BS!!

Why is this dude still representing Canada? \n\nTwo months ago many of his key cabinets members resigned because Justin’s policies are destroying Canadians. Rightfully, he resigned. Dude needs to go away. Stop making Canada worse than what it has become under his horrendous leadership.\n\nThings happening:\n\nThe massive influx of foreigners, both legally and illegally into Canada.\n\nAffordable housing for native Canadians do not exist, people are leaving the country.\n\nHi mortgage payment or monthly rent are too high.\n\nFood prices are not coming down.\n\nSalaries are not keeping up with inflation.\n\nThe Canadian dollar keeps tanking.\n\nAs the leader of the country, he’s doing nothing to stop increasing violent crime.\n\nIncreasing amount of drugs in cities and suburbs.\n\nFinally, he’s pledging billions of dollars to Ukraine, when that money is needed at home.\n\nJustin is too emotional to deal with Trump.\n\nTrump complains about the trading balance between the two nations, $100 billion in favor of Canada.\n\nThe request is simple, import more American products, or export less products to America. But the imbalance has to stop.\n\nSame with Mexico, trading balance with Mexico is almost $200 billion in favor of Mexico. The imbalance has to stop. \n\nThe US economy is bleeding by trading with allies and partners, it’s fighting for its financial wellbeing. It is not some bs from the orange man, it is real.\n\nOf course Canada, Mexico, Europe and others want business as usual… and why wouldn’t they? ?

BETTER WAKE-UP CANADA...YOUR LIBERAL LEADER IS TO BLAME.\n\nI AM SORRY, BUT YOU NEED TO MAKE TRADE DEFICIT EQUAL OR PAY TARIFFS. \n\nYOU TALKING LIKE THIS AND YOULL SEE WHAT IT IS WITHOUT THE LARGEST CONSUMING COUNTRY IN THE WORLD

As an American, I applaud you, Justin Trudeau! If only we had a similar sane, smart, compassionate leader here! So glad that Canada is in your capable hands. If you’re the praying, kind, please pray for us! We are a sinking sinking ship…

Canada leaders are on target! They should not allow this worthless bully Trump to bully them! How senseless and ridiculous for Trump to cause this huge problem! Trump wants to be a dictator like Russia president which is why he speaks so favorably about Russia and speak down to our allies and our leaders.\nAmerica foolishly voted Trump back into office , now watch as he destroy this country , families , jobs and alike. \nPrices are higher than ever, Americans will go further into debt with the tariffs our allies are being forced to do!\nOur allies will NEVER TRUST US again

Trudeau is just butthurt that American dollars are not going one-way into Canada any longer. He's a liar and a terrible leader. Everyone in the comments saying he's intelligent. No, on the contrary, he's a moron. Smooth talk doesn't make one intelligent.

Who opened the border to those who came to Canada in the name of student and ended up to the U.S.? Now you feel the pain of this kind of war but why you did help them arrest Huawei's princess? You should step down and give the next leader opportunity to handle this situation. Trump won't make deal with you.

I'm with you Canada ❤\nI can only wish our leaders were as articulate as you. Thank you for not backing down.

As a Canadian, we love everyone! Except bullies and people that create wars and attack innocent people. I have nothing against people from U.S or Russia. I disagree with there leaders however. I don't like our leader but when you start a fight I always was told to never back down. Trump doesn't want to work together. He wants to crush everyone and destroy. NUTS! Canada will fight a bully always. We are also the friendliest people in the world.. Just don't piss us off!

I am not republican or democrat and not a blind supporter of any leader. I criticize Trump as well-BUT - No one damaged Canada as much as this guy! He did so bad that he had to resign- he’s not even worthy of being the leader of Canada! He is simply using the opportunity to cover his incompetence! PATHETIC! This guy is embarrassing himself and his country!

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

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.

Well said Mr Trudeau. How can the Government of the USA stand by and allow this happen to their closest ally. I’m delighted to hear a clear and articulate statement from a country leader, that isn’t spiteful and argumentative and bullying. The rest of the World will stand with Canada.

I am beginning to like Trump's idea of Canada becoming part of the US. So that we could have the Prime Minister as the leader of the great America, and we get rid of the president and presidency altogether.

Trudeau is Big Mad. Trudeau is a Puppet Prime Minister, like Biden was, and stepping and fetching for the foreign interest who actually control Canada. Basically, Canada's Government has made policies and taken steps that imposed US Tariffs on Canada. You will need to thank Justin Trudeau, an authoritarian leader who is currently Dictator of Canada.

I really believe that it just comes down to Trump feeling resentment that he will never be part of a perceived 'inner circle' of establishment world leaders. It's probably over that one time when they were caught on a hot mic dissing him with Trudeau kind of leading the pack. Over the years Trump has shown over and over again that he is that petty and all of his decisions have an absolutely childish basis, yet the American people voted him in a second time. I've run out of patience with the American people too. They're not really doing anything about this except saying online that they support Canada just so they can feel a little better about themselves. If you guys want a dumpy predator for president that's your business but I will be doing my part to fight him and his unjust attacks against my country.

Sad American here... You go, Trudeau! I'm with you and Canada! Also love that you called Donald out directly! Trudeau, you are a true leader! Hot stuff! America is totally fucked. I'm so sorry, Canada.

Great Country Leader Canada !!!!!!!!

It is interesting to see how many people believe they are right supporting Trudeau (and Selensky) and not realizing they are too dumb to understand the whole picture. USA can be happy to have a president who finally ends the big Deep State scam against the own taxpaying people. UK, Canada, France, Germany etc. should also have such leaders to save the people from betrayal by elites and Ursula von der Leyen in Brussels.

This American, who's been proud to be one all his, life (but not so much these last few weeks)stands with Canada, Mexico, the UK, Europe, and the besieged Ukraine, and I do not support's authoritarian rule and and stupid, ego-driven economic wars with our neighbors and allies. Trudeau is what a real leader sounds like.

Why is a failed resigned tyrant of a leader making decisions on behalf of a betrayed and crippled country??? Canada has destroyed its own country for the past decade.... carbon tax triples april 1st by the way necer forget the most oppressive tax in modern history imposed by a corrupt government on its own citizens what a disgrace.

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! ❤

Love you Canada You did the right things. Kick The Trump dictator leader.

I'm a Canadian who has always voted for Prime Minister Trudeau and I will continue to vote liberal. I heard a person on the Jake Tapper, C NN, this afternoon say all the companies are coming to the USA not Canada, he didn't mention that they come because they don't have to pay a lot of taxes. Us Canadians take great offense that the spawn of the devil wants to annex our country and he refers to our Prime Minister as governor. The orange dumb criminal and his maggots would probably give part of our country to snakehead war tyrant putin who has interest in the Artic and that would involve Greenland. We Canadians don't want to make life difficult for the American people but the dumb evil cheeto likes tariffs. President Zelenski didn't start the war and he won't be the one to start WW3. putin is a war criminal who controls the criminal organization in the White House and it's leader. President Zelenski be careful the spawn of the devil ? and war tyrant can't be trusted. ?????

Corrupt Trudeau is not our friend !! He is Joe Biden Jr and a liar ! We like the Canadian people but Trudeau and liberals have to be ousted in Canada ! We will not support socialist communists like Trudeau, Starmer, Macron, Schultz and other such leaders !

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

I am so embarrassed and sickened by my government. I live in WA state and have always loved and respected Canada. Mr. Trudeau you are a far superior leader and human than anyone in our government today. God bless you and Canada, and I pray for my country everyday.

Preach Canada ?? Go Mr.Trudeau \nThat what a leader do

Your dumba$$ leader Trump..fu*king it for us working people that run this place....\n\nNative Pride and I stand with you Canada n UK and Europe

Prime minister Justin Trudeau is an excellent example of an elected parliamentarian stranding up for Canadians and defending Canada ?? ???. Some canadians who wanted Trudeau to resign will regret later. Trump knows that Trudeau is a strong leader.

So nice to hear a national leader speak so eloquently and coherently. He did not use any bullying or condescending words. Standing for Canada and loving America. Trump is for Putin instead of America's friends. This is really sad. Wake up America! What has happened to us?

Trump isn’t a smart man. But he is a man baby who loves to be told he’s a smart man, which is why other leaders do it. \n\nI do wonder what the end game is. Trump wants to make Canada the 51st state (to get the natural resources and despoil the country by drilling for oil). Does he really imagine that this is going to endear Canadians to America. Is he planning to deteriorate the relationship so that eventually he invades Canada? Because the tariffs make absolutely no sense for the reasons Trump has given.

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.

tRump is a ROTTEN human and a worse leader. Stay Strong Canada.

Canada has a real leader with backbone! Trump is a meat puppet ?

I have to confess I don´t know much about the actual canadian politics. But this reaction of Mr. Trudreau was very impressive. As a german European I know we are together in this completely insane situation initalised by the pathetic performance of the Trump administration. But with Canada on our side, with a strong leader as Trudeau I´m optimistic that the european leaders will also unite and focus not on their differences but on the common interest to stop this destructive US Goverment from destroying the free western society.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke eloquently and professionally as a true leader should. Canada you will get through this. I am neither Canadian or American but I am with Canada but I stand firmly with Canada. I love your country and I love Canadians.❤❤❤❤❤

I want that guy to be my president Im moving to Canada or the UK want a competent leader not an orange sour head who doesn't understand business or politics and his little disrespectful side kick JD Vance should have got his Azz kicked by President Zelensky for talking while grown people are talking

A brilliant speach. He will be missed as prime minister as the world currently needs leaders like him, who stand up against this weird guy in the south of Canada. \nCanada, we are with you. \nGreetings from Germany.

Wow a leader that actually can speak the language as an adult with intelligence. Trump sounds so dumb compared. It’s up to the American people to show their government that they are on the wrong path. Do it now… we support Americans not their government. Go Canada.

Great speech, at last a Leader standing up to trump and his cronies. Canada needs you so a shame you are not continuing. As a born Brit but now an Aussie my husband and I applaud you. The Democratic world needs to stand up to trump and musk. Canadians are tough and just know that many of us are with you in spirit and wherever we live are not buying US products either. Go Canada ?? and the Canadians ?

Why do I feel like Trudeau cares more about my well-being than my own government? Not all of us Americans support Trump. Frankly, I'm terrified of what he's doing. I support your push back, Canada. It only makes sense. I'm glad there are countries out there with safe and logical leaders. Hopefully someday the U.S. can have that again.

Spoken like a true leader....I stand with you Canada, and I apologize for my country's short sighted embarrassingly ridiculous actions.

It's refreshing to hear the Leader of a Country, speak clearly and honestly without unneccessary superlatives. Trump could learn alot from Mr Trudeau. God Bless Canada and God Help the United States of America!

I could not be prouder of my Canadian ancestors and more ashamed of America now. This is not how you treat your friends and neighbors we will get what we deserve some not me elected a fool and Putin's puppet. We will all suffer for this and It is idiotic but the rich will not feel the pain so it might be time to move to Canada or Mexico where the have real leaders not puppets.
