I want to move to Canada. Australia lacks leadership—we truly need a leader like Justin Trudeau.

Trudeau is an empty bag of wind.... His people HATE him. Not just a segment of Canada, ( like Trump, here in America ). Trudeau is a wanna-be strong man, without strength. Trudeau has abused his Canadian citizens. It's laughable that Trudeau wants to address Trump. No one's listening.

As a Canadian, I have to say that we must get rid of Trudeau ASAP. This man is dangerous. How can he form alliances with Europe when our principal economic partner is the United-States. He's playing a very dangerous game and I don't like it one bit!

I like the way Trudeau addressed this moron directly!!! This is how you deal with a bully!!

Only a fool causes a trade war with Canadian over sych foolish issues. I apologize Canada for my government's actions. I applaud Trudeau's strong example of what real leadership looks like.

With a dish, respectful Prime Minister like Justin Trudeau, if I were President Donald J Trump I would immediately double the Tariffs. And I live in Canada. \nIt just shows that on his way out, he doesn’t care a bit about any Canadian . They was so many things Justin Trudeau has done in his tender being Prime Minister wrong

Trump is a joke but nobody is laughing. Trudeau puts Trump to shame. This is why Canada is respected, while Trump is regarded as a bully and a petulant child who is intent on hurting his friend to impress another bigger bully. The people of the US are most at risk and hopefully will eventually realise that Trump is the problem and not the answer. He is driving the US economy into the ground just to appease Putin. It makes you wonder what information Putin has about Trump that he is holding over Trump's head? This fiasco is making Trump look like a weak fool who cares nothing for what pain the US people will suffer. He is rich and therefore he and his billionaire friends will not feel the pain he is happy to inflict on others.

Pay attention Kids! PM Trudeau is teaching you what a real Leader is like. He firmly stated facts & issues without sounding like a 12yr old punk calling people stupid names!

I would like to hear tRUMPS rebuttal to Trudeau’s speech. How could he disagree with any of these facts?

US VOTER: “Uhhh, so you do this fella Trudeau is near the end of his term as Canada’s PM? I mean, if you all are done with him and all we could certainly use a guy like him in our executive branch “ ?? ??. \n BTW, I love Canadians. Hell, “ some of my best friends are Canadian.” None In the family of course-what would people say? But you know. This guy Trump is quite the hoser. How about you open up your borders just a pinch to let us sane Americans over? We don’t eat much and we’ll even pay for any medical expenses! Really we will. We’re use to it. How’s about like starting up an H1VFK visa. Yeah, you know-the Hey, I Voted For Kamala visa. Well, just think on it. You guys were there for us during Nam. You can do the human thing again. Cheers ?

Wish we had a real man like Trudeau in charge.

Canada doesn’t like Trudeau

I’m a Canadian and no fan of Prime Minister Trudeau. It’s unfortunate the best speech he ever gave was after he resigned as Prime Minister. What he has said in this speech is absolutely true, despite the fact, I think Trump is doing some good things for the USA. This Terrif war with your neighbour is stupid. Unfortunately for us in Canada our Prime Minister has not given us the tools and freedom to grow economically and prosper the way we should have. Canadians should be living like Kings, but unfortunately are living paycheque to paycheque because of the stranglehold that our Prime Minister has put on businesses and its citizens. Now Canada has very little leverage, I believe to fight this Terrif war. Canada has become a pure Cradic nightmare, like the previous administration in the United States were overtaxed over regulated and spend money like drunken sailors on stupid things that don’t help us grow and prosper.

Makes me so sad that a vocal minority like trump pushed Trudeau out of Canada. He is exactly who we need right now and he's on his way out ?. No hate to the USA but you guys have gotta tell him to stop, why would we fight? Dumb

#1. Trump postponed so that Canada wouldn’t literally freeze them out by cutting off energy. Now that winter is ending it’s game on\n#2. If Trump wanted to start a war with Canada he needs congress. The only way to get them on his side is Canada to poke the US in the eye.\n#3. Quit talking about Fentanyl without pointing every finger at China. \n#4. If you like how Trudeau is acting now, after 9 years. That’s just a politician who knows they won’t be re-elected. He still has to protect his party though. Too little too late

More people need to speak up like mister Trudeau here. American government is not only screwing others, but also their own people. I do not believe that Americans understand how much disrespect they have gain. It is time that Americans start to wake up and speak up. Canada, we respect you big time.

I didn't like Justin Trudeau before Trump.

Trudeau is denying us our election. He's a corrupt liberal and a disgrace to our country. No one in Canada likes him, he's detested everywhere here. Don't fall for his bull**it

say whatever you want about Trudeau, but compare his speech with Trump's. Trudeau talks professionally like an actual leader should do. Trump whines and makes everything about himself like an old idiot rude drunk grandpa.\nand if Trudeau is bad, then what the F is Trump?!

Brilliant speak from the Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau, absolutely brilliant. tRUMP will respond in his usual fashion...child like speaking ignorant and full of lies and praise for himself just watch. Is this what republicans voted for, trade wars with what were once strong allies, stripping Federal Departments that ensured well being for needed services. tRUMP and his administration this is a nightmare for not just the United States but the world.

Talking about a REAL (world) Leader! My personal message to Mr. Trudeau... 'Why you leave at this critical stage?' We need leaders like you to stand up to this type of Clowns who jerk themselves off for power and dollar-bills. And to the biggest Clown of this (still) free world, I would like to say: Mister Clown... as you say, America First.. Do yourself a favour and built a huge wall around your last and dying power soil.. and make sure this time you pay for it yourself, so you have your isolated soil called USA all for yourself and your regretting voters with your trade traffic. Make America great AND ISOLATED again... and make the US dollar a welcomed item at the toilet around the world!

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

What s little weasel! He made this whole mess of Canada & now he wants to talk tough?? How dare you, yes YOU weasel followed Greta Thumberg like a little b that you are! Just go away you corrupt piece of huey, you've never done anything concrete in your life ,except bring Canada down, GO Trump, bring down this dictator, who's decided what we can watch, hear& see, & he's got the nerve to call out President Trump?? Thats too funny,& all those who stand with Ukraine, are you willing to send uour sons to war? Bet not,but you want someone else's child to go , imagine that !! Zelinsky is as corrupt at this idiot ( Trudeau, or Castro Jr.) But ya,go for it! Send YOUR child to fight this war,that will not ever end!!\nYa all make me sick!!

How completely incompetent does one have to be to make Trudeau sound like a diplomatic genius

Didn’t this guy stepped down as the Prime Minister of Canada and then like refused to hold elections and continue to maintain his position even though he had said he didn’t want to do the job anymore. I can’t listen to Trudeau about

We know Trump lies like a cheap rug. Sorry President Trudeau. ????

All the “I stand with Canada” clowns in the comments are either ignorant or just as weak as Trudeau. You’re standing with a leader who crippled his own economy, pushed insane carbon taxes, and sold out to China now crying because the U.S. won’t play along. News flash: Trudeau doesn’t care about you or Canada, he just needs a scapegoat for his failures. Standing with Canada? More like standing with a sinking ship while cheering on the captain who drilled the holes.

Trump tried calling Trudeau “governor” as we had already agreed to annexed, like Austria in 1939, to become his 51st state. Trump is unhinged. He’s anticipating our lumbar to go up in price so he’s going to start mowing down American protected and heritage forests. What a ****** man.

I'm really surprised how sharp this speech was, and dense, with no made up alternative facts mumble. I should listen to more Trudeau speeches and less Trump. The rational, fact-based argumentation is like recharging after so much trump nonsense

As an American, I am embarrassed by our leadership. Presidents like Trudeau and Zelensky are men to look up to. They may not be perfect, but they remain strong and confident in the face of the tyranny of Trump and Putin. I live an hour from the Canadian border, and they have been nothing but kind and amazing every time I've ever visited. My support is with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine. It is a dark and embarrassing time to be an American.

.... Well I'll tell you what Trudeau,.... None of us people wanted these tariffs either... At least not the people who are sane... I don't even think the people who voted for Donald Trump wanted these tariffs against the rest of the world either....I really don't understand the sense behind it because this is not going to make America greater.... It's going to destroy the economy of America and whatever the country it is that he poses these tariffs on... He thinks this is a strategy for getting what he wants... But I'll tell you what, he may be shocked and sadly mistaken when he finds out that it might just backfire ...this is a very conceited attempt to get the type of economic condition that he envisions for his new Dictatorship over America....he has alienated United States from its allies in Europe as well as its allies here at home.... This is probably about as dumb as his treatment of Volodimir Zelensky that just transpired on Friday at the oval office...and that idiot Vance is the one actually that has started that little debacle....I don't know man I thought these guys had more sense than to do this kind of shit.... But see this kind of situation is not going to affect him or his billionaire buddies because they have so much money they can cushion themselves until the cows come home....these assholes don't have nothing to worry about except the American people finding an emergency way of getting his ass out of office unless he changes course on all of this... I don't know if he can be impeached or not... But it might be a smart thing to find out if it IS possible.... AND EVEN IF IT IS WE STILL HAVE HIS SITTING REPLACEMENTS STILL IN OFFICE AS WELL SO I DON'T SEE THIS GOING AWAY WITHIN THE NEXT 4 YEARS UNLESS HE COMES BACK TO HIS SENSES, AND POSSIBLY GOES TO A DOCTOR AND HAVE HIS HEAD CHECKED....\nDTheMadkat123\nFrom a borrowed phone \n....the only thing I really do support that he is doing is securing the border and dealing with immigration issues here.... That's it that's all I was hoping that he would really focus on being in the oval office, and possibly standing by Ukraine, and Israel during these evil days.... Buddying up to Putin is like the single most insane thing that has come from this as well..I just hope and pray that he comes back to his senses and backtracks on all of this shit.... Besides I like Canada House whiskey, and Canada Dry Ginger ale, and other products from Canada.... Stand strong Canadians, I love you all, and I hope we can make it through these tough times ahead...but obviously the road that we're traveling now there really is no guarantees is there ?? Lady can you shut the hell up and go back to what Trudeau is saying ??

Seeing how leaders like Trudeau perform their duties make me wonder why the hell we have such morons running our country in Australia and not someone like the Canadian Prime Minister.

Justin Trudeau is crying just like a baby.

These comments have to be bots ?. Trudeau is one of the worst leaders the world has ever seen. Took away Canadians rights. Took away free speech. Just to name a few. But he gives one good speech and all is forgotten?? Like I said, these comments HAVE to be bots lmaoo ?.

From Brazil; Seems like Trudeau never disappoints, what a amazing speech and leadership

Trudeau show spine and character in his words. He doesn't suck up to trump like European leaders have been doing. Bravo.

Thought this man was stepping down and not liked in Canada Everyone should get the facts This man said No to closing our borders are you Americans are not this man was letting Illegal immigrants through on the Canadian side SCREW TRUDEAU

Trudeau is a fool that no Canadian likes. \nHis pride will make things worse for canadians.\nWhat an idiot

We will never back down. Elbows up Canada ? we will always be a free and Sovereign Country. ????? The USA doesn’t need my cereal grains….so I’ll sop up the 25% tariffs like pancakes and maple syrup. So proud of our Justin Trudeau ????

why does it feel likes Trudeau is doing better now after his resignation then he has in the past?

It's difficult working with a Dtrumpster who behaves like a toddler....Thank YOU Mr. Trudeau for your brilliant leadership!

7:60 Oh, Mr Trudeau, it looks like Donald has re-discovered his old, better *friends*. different continent, but still...

If Putin is a murder? Then so is America? So is Ukraine? So is Palestine? So is Israel? In the 1990 Middle Eastern war USA ? tried so diligently to destroy the WEAPONS OF MASS DISTRUCTION!! ?? killing so many innocent people calling them terrorists. What do we call this action? GODLY ? Everyone is trying to show their power through Global Politics that they are greater than others and trying to rule every country in this world before fixing their own. Trudeau has brought Canada to poverty in his so called successful 2 terms government. He should think before he talks or like Hitler he should rehearse his speech in front of a mirror before opening his mouth in public, it's a whole lot of crap coming out in public and losing his sane ability. ?

Well, Trudeau, President Trump knows what he is doing, whether you like it or not.

Canadians don’t even like Trudeau he’s gonna put his foot in his mouth

Since Trudeau announced he would step down, it seems like he's become much more grounded and pragmatic.

We in Europe should react like Trudeau!

If we read how trump speak about governor Trudeau it's cleat Trump wants to make canada and Mexico the Ukraine of the north America! Maybe it's time to hit back at trump/VANCE AND CUT THE ELECTRICITY AND OIL OF ALBERTA RIGHT NOW ! AND KICK THOSE 2 CLOWNS OUT OF THE WHITE WHITE HOUSE CAUSE AMERICANS WILL SUFFER JUST LIKE US WITH THOSE STUPID TARRIFS

Correction...Trudeau will likely remain PM for 2-3 months.

Trudeau is what a President is like His speech shows his caring and concern for Americans as his own Canadians I admire the Prime Minister
