I did two work trips near Toronto, in a community predominately Indian and Punjab, and both times I worked with the same two Indian local contractors. The second time I came back unannounced, which lapsed by like 6 months, they somehow remembered my name 😅 They weren't the brightest but I absolutely appreciate the respect they showed me, especially when they kept calling me Mr. FirstName.

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.

Respect to Mr Trudeau!

I believe and respect President Trump! Also thank you Mr Elon Musk for doing a great job.God bless both of you.

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

Support from France, Mr Trudeau! RESPECT!

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.

With all due respect Mr. Prime Minister, why didn't you have guts like this before in your term, maybe you wouldn't have had to resign.

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.

Dear Canada. We the people the good citizens of these divided states do not condone what trump is putting your country and the rest of the world through! More than 80% of us hate trump and his evil lawless deeds! We are no longer free here! We are under the thumbs of an evil dictator and his panzy the riches man in the world! They are destroying this country bit by bit and quickly! They and the republicans in congress have sided with them! I’m am saddened that you great friends and all citizens are no facing his dictatorship follies! trump is not American! He never has been! Musk worked his magic with skylink and stole the votes from the democrats! Erased millions of our votes east as pie! I respect mr trudou and we hear his plea! His sorrow and I hope he and all who read this in Canada realize that the hood American here never wanted this but we can’t stop him with the way he and our judicial system is erasing our constitution! It’s eroding daily as if it never existed!! We are truly sorry for the pain he’s putting you through! Know that the 80 percent of Americans still stand with Canada Mexico Ukraine the EU and the rest of the world he’s punishing ?

Bravo Mr. prime Minister Trudeau! Much respect from this American citizen!! Trump is a stain on our nation!!!!!

Smart man??!!!!! Noooooo Mr. Trudeau he is a moronic deranged lunatic working as a servant for another moronic deranged idiot called Elon Musk. My deepest respect for you and the Canadian people.

Okay okay Mr. Prime Minister Trudeau, you have got my respect back as I see where your loyalty lays and that is with Canada. Well done sir and well articulated. I have never been so disgusted in a leader as I am with Trump and his people including his goofball sidekick.

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.

Well said. I love the USA, I have relatives who live there and in all the years of a beautiful relationship with the people of America I have never seen this situation. Mr. Trump you seem to want to conquer and divide relationships at any cost, even with people who care about you. You sabotage yourself and those who are loyal to you. I'm not sure if you understand the implications of your decisions. But I will say respectfully, there are no winners in a trade war, nor is it you that has the final say on the worlds outcome. This is God's world not yours and not ours. I'm really disappointed to see American people and Canadians hurting because of whatever the point of all of this means. But Canada is strong and we will stand up for our country. The American people are strong and they were strong before you became the President. Working together, we can take care of each other for our families and our country.

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

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.

Thank you Mr. President! Nothing but respect! You are a class act, a fine example of what a man with character and common sense should act like… Trump is very jealous because he’s such a toddler constantly throwing temper tantrum‘s, he has no respect for anyone not even himself. Most of us stand with Canada and agree with you… It’s unfortunate we have a common criminal sitting in our oval office… God help us all ????

As an American Mr. Trudeau let me say that i highly respect the way you speak with education and dignity. Thank you for what your telling us. I didn't vote for this tyrant or these republican politicians. I hope those MAGA's are happy with how we are doing and the suffering that is coming shortly.

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

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!

You watch Mr. Trudo! Your are only the 54 state. Respect your President Donald Trump!! America???? is GREAT AGAIN.

Mr Trudeau \nbeautiful to hear how much you care for your Canadian. \nAs a American I'm I'm embarrassed how our leader talks to people.\nHe has no compassion and no respect for no one I'm embarrassed be an American with a leader like him?.

Is it possible to clone Mr Trudeau and plant a clone in each country's administration please?\n\nSeriously - big respect. And a proof that one can be firm and powerful, while keeping a certain level of quality.

Mr PM, thank you for calling him Donald. He does not deserve the respect or dignity of the title of President. I think Donald is much more appropriate. Thank you for sticking up for us! Respect. I am proud you are our PM and proud to be a Canadian.

What a brilliant speech. No shouting, no humiliation, facts and a clear plan of action. Dignity and strength expressed calm, precise and civilised. My highest respect for Mr Trudeau and Canada!

So proud of our country and Prime Minister. Thank you, Mr Trudeau, much love and respect.

With all do respect Mr prime minister Don’t call people Czars Putin gets happy, They been calling Czars to members of their cabinet here in America, God bless Canada, feel sorry for us.

From Germany, great respect for Canada and Mr. Trudeau who delivered a moving speech. Also a shout out to all our American friends who do not fall for Mr. Trump's lies and his bulldozer politics. I truly hope we all come out of these trying times alive and well, both sides of the Atlantic and beyond. The only chance we have is to stand together.

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

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.

What a speech! Brilliant statesmanship, Mr Trudeau. We in Europe should echo these sentiments and emulate Canada’s response. Respect!!

Fuck you Trump..... Respect to Mr Zelensky and PM JUSTİN TRUDEAU ❤❤❤

As a Washington State resident, I have always and continue to love and respect our Canadian neighbors. This US fake president is a liar and shameful embarrassment to Americans. Mr. Trudeau is pulling his country together as trump is tearing our country apart.

“Donald!” I LOVE IT! ? No respect for the idiot in chief. He deserves none! Touché Mr Trudeau!!

Bavarian conservative; by all respect but do you really think it’s the right time for being smug Mr. Trudeau? Honestly i can feel desperate vibes over to me.\nEveryone should be reasonable now and get his numbers right.

Great speech Prime Minister. Thank you. And Donald does not deserve to be called President or even the respect to be called Mr. Trump. He is not. He is a Bully. I am glad you called him Donald. I am sure a lot of people have another name for him right now. I am a proud Canadian. I do not blame the American people. Just those who put Donald in power and those who work with him and support him. I love the US and hope and pray we will get through this together.

As an American, sincerest apologies and much respect to Canada. Very inspiring words by Mr. Trudeau!

The speech of Mr Trudeau, the way Canadians have shown solidarity for one another, today it all puts my country, The US, to shame. I am ashamed of what my government is doing and I am disgusted with the people doing it. In Mr Trump’s first term, as eclipsed as they were by the many many many actions and attitudes he imposed on us that embarrassed and hurt us as a country, there was the rare occasional decision I could at least understand even if I did not support it. Since taking office literally not one thing he has done has made sense to me as an American. I can only say how sorry I am for what the country I love is being used to do to you all, especially our closest allies and friends and in particular the people of Canada today. I grew up in Commerce Twp Michigan. I visited Canada regularly and, even as crime from Detroit poured across the border into Canada, Canadians always treated us with respect and welcome. I never imagined that would stop but now I find it hard to imagine how it might continue and it breaks my heart.

As a french I say bravo and respect to Mr Trudeau and all the canadian people. \nStay strong !

Fantastic speech, Mr. Trudeau! I am romanian, but you have all my respect!

The world respects Canada and this Scot is disgusted with Mr Trump's antics.

As a Finnish guy living in Germany I am so glad to hear PM Mr Trudeau´s speech. There are mighty many people around the world who respect and love each other, and try to keep to do so. Chapeau Canadians!! And, the EU is not to screw the US, it never was.

Mr. Prime Minister Trudeau Thank you, Great speech thank you to make this nation united. I love this land and respect this wonderful Country.

Mr. Trudeau mentions there's no drug problem, how can you say this. Fentanyl has been coming through your boarders. This Must stop. Your Ally who offers security for Canada should be respected . Our citizen's are dyeing. I stand with Our President and his Administration. Canada we love you , but enough is enough .
