Just a small word here. Khalistan sikh are not Indian Sikh. They are people who are wanted for various crimes even in India. They have criminal records and India has been requesting Canadian government to deport some of these people to undergo trial in India but Trudeau govt under jagmeet Singh did not agree and so you have crimes happening in Canada but the bad name goes to India. As far as this oppression against minority is concerned all sikhs in India are free to do as they wish in their own land. They have a democratically elected leader and sikhs in India are very happy. Others in India love them and respect them a lot so much so that manmohan Singh became the prime minister of India with zero opposition to his leadership. Abdul kalam who is also a muslim became the president of India. This oppression story is fake. That is one of the ways for this khalistan punjabi apply for refugee status inside Canada. It’s a Canadian loophole they misuse and the worst part is even the govt knows that. They just won’t do anything about it.

Respect to the indian man who came as an RN and understood the problems with not working hard. He may have a rose-tinted view on Canada being no different than India, which is aproblem in itself, but the mindset is inherently what we want from our newcomers, and not just importing everyone from a hyper-specific area of another country in i.e. India. This is why selective immigration that has been done for years before Trudeau did wonders for this country. Very insightful. The race doesn't matter, the diversity we value is actually lost when you only import anything and don't vet anyone at all, it then becomes simply and factually non-diverse.

I can’t find no damn job. But it’s fine I’m gonna have to go the entrepreneur route. If I don’t then my future children will be doomed. Why tf is there no diversity at Tim Hortons and Walmart? Fuck you Trudeau. He only became prime minister bcs of his father’s good reputation, and bcs women were mesmerized by his good looks. I’m a CANADIAN CITIZEN and I can’t find no work in this damn country. Trump should prob come here and fix things. Everyone should have an equal chance of getting a job. Diversity and inclusion is important. I don’t expect immigrants to assimilate to Canadian culture but have some respect. Don’t be acting like you run things bcs NOBODY RUNS THINGS. I get that some immigrants come here and work hard to own a Canadian/american franchise or to become a manager, but don’t be hiring your ethnic group alone. The workplace should display a representation of various groups of people. If you can’t simply do that then please ONLY stick to only owning whatever food restaurants that serves food from whatever country you came from.

If elections were honest if they were we canadians rooted ones at that queen put my family here in canada after the wars grandfather fought and won both wars to give me what I had and now immigrants have taken that over government and people today wouldn't exist with out my grandfather . Politions dont know what war is... or how it reflects all candians still today . A lession to all politions get back to work . And have some respect . For people who got uou to where you are today . Far to much time off running with a counrty and a hammer as yhe leader makes me puke every day . Say thank you carney for life u have be ayse of my grandfather. Thanks for staying and being humble and rooted . Your not . Stop giving Canadian money away this is the out come carney and trudeau twisted brothers. made this mess .

We can only thank first and second Trudeau for the mes that we have now in Canada. As a white migrant they are blaming me for the racism and discrimination. I am sick and tiers of this newcomers and free loaders to Canada. Pack up and go where you come from if you don't like the way Canada is. We will be better off without you. Learn the language and respect Canada that gave you opportunity to live in peace.

Trudeau and Jagmeet had a deal. What wad it? Since then this has become a huge problem. Don't expect the feds to fix this overnight. Stop immigration for 5-10yrs and hire a dept to verify ALL student visa, biometrics, overstays, etc. Start a dept to do surprise visits to all work establishments for documentation of all employees. Stop giving money away to refugees unless 100% verified to be actual refugee. Don't bring your culture to another country if you left your country. When you leave you adapt to the countries way of life. Canada is not for you of you cannot respect Canadians way of life.. We don't want your cultures, we already have our own Canadian way of life.

When a person moves to another country to live and work, shouldn’t the person supposed to respect the culture and tradition of the country and not flaunt theirs to disregard them? The whites are being incited to rise up by these actions of immigrants… the politicians like Trudeau is to be blamed for such a situation.

PM Trudeau you gained back my respect to you, I already disliked you but now I love you ❤️??

Trump is doing all these crazy things but he is forgetting one HUGE thing. Canada & many other countries are Allies of America & while he's talking about tariffs & goodness knows what (I did watch his talk in Congress), at least respect your Allies. Trump is sleeping with the enemy & in all my years, I've never seen an American President turn on their Allies like this. He is a dangerous man for all the wrong reasons. I feel badly for the American people whom will be stuck between a rock & a hard place. I feel for the Canadian's whom don't deserve this. Trudeau speaks so genuinely & politely where Trump yells 'this is the way things will be'. \nI don't look forward to the next 4 years & many in my country (Australia) have said they won't even go to America while Trump is in Office. We have always loved Canada. We 'gather at Whistler' then go travel. Great country. Much love from your Aussie mates ❤❤

As a German: respect for this speech, Mr. Trudeau. Trump's policies are a blow to the democratic world. Apparently the madman in the White House wants to come to terms with a lying murderous dictator in Moscow.

USA is no longer aligned with democratic nations, it is with the autocrats. It's the dawn of a new world order. Glad Trudeau spoke to Donald in the way he did. To be clear. This is how a narcissist acts. He does not respect those who are closest to him - he does not care about allies and connection, he sees these folks (and nations) as weak - he is about control and domination. Narcs do this in their personal lives. And if you are not weak and don't bend to his will, they will unleash their actions to control - and if they have the power (and the prez is the most powerful person in the world) they will have all the power at this disposal and will not stop until they achieve their aim, destruction be damned. And that is why it was so dangerous to let Dump go without accountability. His deluded self thinks he's an unmitigated genius and he's the top of the food chain. For him it's blaring green lights all the way in his polluted mind. Dump 2.0 is unchecked now, so he is unleashing the narcissism disease upon the world.

Respect to Mr Trudeau!

From India, wish we had a prime minister like Trudeau! One who shows integrity, strength and sensibility. Support & respect to Canada, Ukraine & EU!

True words. All respect to Canada ?? and Mr Trudeau from Germany ??

Massive respect from Australia ?? ohh boy Trudeau got Frumpy by the ghoulies lol ? ???Go Canada ?? from Down Under we stand with you. Frumpy has put tariffs on our stuff too! I’m off to buy some delicious real Canadian ?? maple syrup and whipping up a batch of delicious pancakes on Saturday morning. ?

I am french and my respect goes to M. Trudeau and to the the Canadian People. This is a still diplomatic but robust speech.

Respect to Prime Minister Trudeau. You have shown your country you a worthy Prime Minister to fight for the good of your country

Make that make sense! I couldn't have said it any better. Trudeau was never my favorite person in politics, but this latest stand against the tyrant that is just south of our great country! His justification for his tariff fantasy is the trade of fentinyl across the border and the flow of illegal immigrants to the U.S. As Trudeau has stated, paraphrasing a well known and respected publication, the Wall Street Journal, that this is a very DUMB move! That is an understatement. This is clearly not about drugs or illegal immigrants, it never was. Trump is supposed to be smart? This latest revelation proves otherwise. Just look at how they treated Zelensky during his last visit to the oval office. That showed a complete lack of respect! I fear we are in for a dismal for years!

Trudeau is a National Embarrassment- to himself - and to Canada.\n\nDo Canada a huge favor justin- step down- you have lost the respect of most of Canada - to me . And - no world leader has any respect for you either - to me.\n\nPathetic you are - to me.

Trudeau you're a PM and when you disrespect the president publically you disrespect America, so you have no right to address the American people. You don't know how to handle politics and thats why your own people have verbalized that they want you gone! Your lack of respect for the President and the United States is what put you and your country in this situation in the first place. Tou're leaving out on a low. Humble yourself and sit down and talk to the President, and address him as such, and he'll cut you a deal, and you can gain back some dignity. Otherwise, stop complaining to the world community. You look weak!

Much respect PM Trudeau. I’m an American with Canadian roots as my parents were born and raised in Alberta. Your message was spot on and I’m truly embarrassed and ashamed of our current leadership and the decisions they are making. I hope that someday they will come to their senses. In the meantime thank you for being a true statesman and leader in these difficult times.

I know that Trudeau is not very popular now, but I've had so much more respect for him in the last few weeks. He'll be gone in a couple of weeks, so the haters can relax. I like how he's standing up to the American wannabe dictator and uniting Canada.

No more buying US. No visits/ holiday's. No stocks. Cant help but feel this is what trump and musk want, i.e. to have stockmarket get weaker so they can buy more. \nLook over there...(aligning with Putin dictator, Bullying zelensky, illegal firing staff, tariffs, accusing zelensky of propaganda as US fox news is known for it) whilst they shake markets up, risking world war 3 for multiple reasons. With the Supreme court in his pocket, the US is following Putins lead and becoming a dictatorship. The law is far to pliable there at this point. \nAll those voted Trump in and think he is making America great, you are DILLUSIONAL!\nHe will take you and your families down.. the young get sent to war, the old asshole sociopathic men sit by the fire protected. It took a very long time for Germany to escape the reputation after Hitler. You want the rest of the world to disdain and never trust your country and people?! Germany recovered, but it was painful healing. \nHow bout Trump sleeps out on the streets, deals with fentanyl addicted unsupported US citizens and veterans or get sent to war? Or what about his children or grandchildren?! Would he care if they were called to stand for the country if WW3 broke out, because of him? Trump truly is making a statement... he gives 2Fs about the people, totally self serving. For the capitalist bullies who love money at any cost..even blood money... non of your investments will make a difference if you have no heating, water, food, jobs, lost family members through war and crap health system... not an ounce of love, respect, compassion, respect, leadership in the US government. The World can be better. Choose better... for all that is sacred... stop the madness!!\n\nWell done Canada & Trudeau... love and support you beautiful people. ❤\nLove and Strength to the people of Ukraine around the globe. I pray for this nightmare to end in your favour. For your loved ones to be safe and protected and that you can be reunited once more. Love and praise for Zelensky...you are a phenomenal leader. May you receive the support needed to end the war.❤\nHang tight US citizens who wish a very different US .❤

I’ve read a lot of comments from people saying “Trudeau ruined Canada” in response to people expressing their support for Trudeau in this time.\n\nThat’s not really a great point.\n\nIf Trudeau hasn’t been good for Canada, but gives a coherent, inspiring, and professional speech in this moment that unites Canadians and others alike, then that should speak so much to how awful this situation is. Huge respect to Trudeau and Canada for not backing down. I hope one day we’ll be allies with the right side of the world again.\n\nWe wanna talk about a leader ruining a country? That’s what Donald is doing right now. Except he won’t unite us in the future with a speech like this.\n\nThis American stands with Canada!

As a Mexican, I truly respect and admire Mr. Justin Trudeau, a true leader while inmature Trump is leading the US to it's doom... lets see how this goes, Trump now has enemies all over the world, I'm so sorry for the fellow American citizens that will suffer for voting again for this hillbilly Clown and hillbilly JD Vance!

Mr Trudeau what Trump is doing to Canada is part of his vengeance tour. You didn’t show him the respect he thinks he deserves ?! He doesn’t care who he hurts including the US who he claims to make great again.

Some excellent leadership from Mr Trudeau there. Much respect from your UK friends. Intelligence and truth - two things Trump is incapable of. The US will find themselves down the line with one friend only - Russia - who will then eventually screw over the US as they always have. Trump is a disaster for the US, and the wider world. The world is starting to turn their back on the US, as the US is doing to the world.

Thank you Trudeau for standing up to Trump. You have my respect no matter what ?

PM Trudeau, I respect you to the FULLEST extent!

Much respect to Mister Trudeau he is so respectful and mature

I wasn’t a fan of Trudeau before, but I’ve got to give him credit—he’s really stepping up for his country now. Firm, reasonable, no BS. Gotta respect that.

Respect to Canada ? stand up to Donald. PM Trudeau that is a 5☆ speech and resolution. Barbados ?? salutes you ♧

I think Mr. Trudeau is someone to look up to and respect. It is more than I can say for the ?that is running this country. We don't want these tariffs either. It's total stupidity.

I may not have voted for Justin Trudeau. But I respect him for not bowing to the orange man and standing up for Canada the true north strong and free. We will get through this the world is with us ??

Respect to Canada?? Well said, Trudeau! This is true leadership!

My heart hurts watching this. As an American, I respect and agree with Prime Minister Trudeau. Canada has been a kind and generous ally, and our current government leaders are just coming up with excuses for this stupid ass trade war. \n\nI am so sorry to all the Canadian citizens whom this negatively impacts. I hope you will show grace to those of us who voted against Trump and who continue to stand up to this tyrant.

Trudeau gave the entire world a lesson to remember , what a President , wuaw, my respect and deepest admiration.

As a Canadian and not a fan of Trudeau I have to say he's earned respect as a leader.\nNot like the trumpy pile of ? south of us

Justin Trudeau is standing his ground. I have nothing but respect for a man that stands his ground and not waiver when he know he has done everything he can to make peace with his neighbor,

I am annoyed with CNN for turning this into a WAFFLE Soapy...At Last Trudeau has grown BALLS and he was presenting a Polite, Rational, Understandable, Logical, Factual explanation NOT only to AMERICA BUT more so to Canada and the World that Trump is NOT actually a SMART man but rather a deranged and dangerous illiterate with NO interest other than HIS EGO...SO CNN in your wisdom you ignored Trudeau's replies to questions from the press and gave oxygen to your WAFFLE MONGERS LIGHT WEIGHT comments.\n I have never been a supporter of wishy washy Trudeau....until this polite and measured presentation by him which was brilliant as an Educational tool not only for the American People BUT also for ALL of those ALLIES in the FREE World that TRUMP has absolutely NO RESPECT for and has been singularly responsible for the FREE World ALLIES to seriously rethink their allegiances with Chaotic America due to Donald's apparently Love affair with Putin as a fellow Dictator.\n America listen up.... The U.K./Europe are cranking up their home based on their door step DEFENSE INDUSTRIES etc which will be GREAT for Europe.... BUT not so GREAT for America''s employment going SOUTH.\n I was born in 1936 in the U.K. and have first hand experience of the TORTURE Ukraine is experiencing as the RESULT of Putin INVADING Ukraine....Donald and his Attack dog Vance are dangerous illiterates.

I finally have respect and admiration for Trudeau. I wanted him to resign, but not if he can beat Trumpler at this trade war. I'm so very sorry to you Americans...at least to all the ones who did NOT vote for that Clownident.

I am not a fan of Justin Trudeau… but my goodness I am so proud of him right now. And I LOVE how he referred to Herr Trump as just plain old Donald — zero formality and respect. I am a firm believer in you get what you give. ❤️??

Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau, the sane Americans still love you and your great country. This government is not who or what I voted for. I am so sorry, friends. I think MOST of us do not want this either. Our government is a failure and we need to change it. We, the people. The REAL people. Not the fake numbers you hear about from this corrupt administration that lies like it's their religion to do so. Keep doing the right thing for your people, and know you have our respect. Also, please have mercy when many of us seek to move to a more civilized nation.

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.

So sad that our government knows how to SCREW UP A FRIENDSHIP. Hear, hear Mr. Trudeau you have my total respect.

HELLO FROM SYDNEY,RESPECT TO JUSTIN TRUDEAU❤??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its very annoying to have a journalist repeat what trudeau has already said, forcing us to miss the Q&A section^ \nThat said, WOW, trudeau has won my respect bigtime. This was prob the best speech ive ever heard from 'mr. nice guy' So very glad he spoke clearly and precisely to the usa public, he is and has done everything correctly

So for everyone fawning over Trudeau's ability to be articulate, that is impressive to you only because the U.S. has had a piece of steamed broccoli named Biden as a figure head for the last 4 years.\nI can't say I understand Trump's strategy with respect to Canada, but I absolutely know that Trump is no Socialist like Trudeau is. I am happy to wait and see how this shakes out because Trump has been right on so, so many things. No one is perfect, not Trump and not Trudeau. Maybe it's not about drugs. Maybe Canada could offer to go back to respecting individual liberties and free speech in return for the elimination of U.S. tariffs. Sounds like something Trump would agree to.

MR. TRUDEAU, QST, THIS GOVERNMENT IS NOT! AMERICA'S! IT'S TRUMP'S, VANCE'S & MUSK 'S! & 2ND, THAT PUTIN SCUM SUCKING BASTARD IN THE WHITE HOUSE IS NOT! AMERICAN!! HE'S A SCUM SUCKING TREASONOUS TRAITOR TO THE LOWEST PVT. & SEAMEN IN OUR MILITARY & A BACK STABBING S.O B. TO NOT ONLY AMERICAN TAX PAYERS; BUT TO EVERY LONG TERM ALLIE WHO SHARED MUTUAL RESPECT, HONOR & TREASURED SECURITY TO ALL OUR PEOPLES OVER THE DECADES!

Trudeau is correct. I am ashamed of our current usa government and its treatment of its closest allies. We are no longer the leader of the free world. \nUnder trump the usa seems to be siding with putin and disrespecting, victimizing and bullying our closest and best allies. He refers to trudeau as governor, inferring he will be governor if canada were to join the usa. Such childishness and immaturity from the leader of our country. Our allies will realign with other countries. The usa has lost the free worlds trust. It will take the usa 20 plus years to regain respect.\nTrudeau is extremely well spoken, calm and states facts. How different from president trump.
