This is how a Statesman addresses his nation and the world.\nThe eloquent and thought gone into this speech.\nCanada, you are deep in our thoughts here in the UK.\nYou are our nearest cousins and will always be.\nThe world is a dangerous place at the moment, thanks to Donald Trump and his vice-president.\nBut they have no idea or understanding of 20th century world history.\nMr Trump, take a look at Germany 1930s...

That's the difference between an orange clown and a statesman.

I find this speech has caused me to re-evaluate Justine Trudeau - he has become the statesman we always hoped he could be and he stated clearly Canada will retaliate for this incomprehensible attack on the greatest trading partner the US has.

You don’t have to like Trudeau to see that that was a phenomenal speech. \n\nLiving in America nowadays, you forget what true statesman look and speak like.

We have just listened to a true statesman. Thank you, Mr Trudeau, just for being on the right spot at the right time.\n\nI hope that our new government in Germany will act as wise, polite and considerate as you seem to do it.

Trudeau is a Statesman. Rump is a cretin. I'll give him a break and call him just a feeble-mnded Puttie Lap Dog...tongue hanging out.

That is a statesman

LOL compare this to a Trump Speech .... one comes across as a Statesman , the other a bad Vegas lounge act...

Intelligent, thoughtful, polite, shows empathy and compassion, truthful, a statesman... and even good-looking. Pretty much everything our guy isn't.

Good for Canada! ?? #Statesman #Leadership

Trudeau is a statesman and Trump is a bully. That´s it.

A real statesman's statement! Chapeau!

That's how a statesman speaks—Trump, on the other hand, talks like a sulky, spoiled child who doesn't get his ice cream.

Justin Trudeau shows here what it means to be a statesman standing strong for his country and not a pathetic remote controlled brainless manbaby without any manners or decency. Tonight I am Canadian.

Must be nice to have a statesman leading your country. As opposed to putins puppet.

The american people put a Felon into the White House! - What could go wrong.\n\nCanadians have a statesman in office.

Well that’s a statesman there. Hopefully Trump will listens but I doubt it sadly.

Trudeau looking and sounding like a statesman…… unlike the Orange Wanka

Spoken as a true statesman. Respect from Belgium !

A true statesman! How he was able to say that Trump is a smart man without breaking into hysterical laughter is pure masterclass!!! Give the man an Oscar!!!

I´m from Finland , and to you , Mr. Trudeau, i have to say: You are an true statesman. I hope that your clear and calm way to say how some things really are , reaches a certain house in u.s.a. All good to Canada & to You !!

Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister. You made many mistakes during your mandates but now, you defend your country as a real Statesman.\nThank you.

This a statesman, love your stance PM

Trudeau is speaking and acting like the statesman he is! His way of speaking on this matter is truly polite and great. He is defending his country and its values! Hopefully there's many more leaders of other countries that will step up and take action against the person that ignorant americans voted into the White House! This will soon blow up in the face of the goverment in the US. Hopefully the blow is tough and hard!

Now, that's a statesman!

Some have a president who is Putin's lapdog and others have a statesman who acts with absolute integrity and cleverness.

Listen to this articulate statesman, listening to Trump is like listening to someone in the movie Idiocracy, and Trump Doesn’t even know how to read, he was handed that letter from King Charles and he had to hand it back because he Was unable to read it

I AM JEALOUS THAT WE HAVE A COMPLETE IDIOT MORON FELON AS A LEADER AND CANADA HAS Justin Trudeau, a true statesman and leader.

If only Treadeau could be the president of USA! I hope US citizens are listening carefully. Here is a real statesman. If only!

Proper Statesman

This speech was delivered not by a politician, but by a statesman! Compare this speech to anyone the orange orangutan made! It's night and day, people! I stand by Canada 100%. Greetings from Hungary!

Trump made Trudeau look like a statesman. Great achievement

That is a speech which will go down in history like some of Sir Winston Churchill's. It gave me courage, boosted my faith that possibly good will prevail. I spent 7 years of my childhood in Canada in the '50s. My heart is with Canada, Trudeau is a statesman in the best sense of the word.

Trudeau speaks eloquently and demonstrates integrity - another true Statesman. What a contrast to The Kremlin’s Agent Orange !

The Canada PM is truely a statesman all allied leaders are statesmen not the orange head bully

That's a statesman

I don't know anything about Canadian politics and I know some people have issues with him but I fucking love this dude - hes a proper statesman and an excellent orator

I am so proud of Justin and Canadians. True statesman

Wow, so thats how a real statesman talk. Clear, direct, but still polite. Chapeau ?

A shame Trudeau is stepping down. Canada and the world will miss him as a global statesman at this time.

This is how a true statesman speaks!

Well said! by a respected & learned statesman….?

Trudeau had a great speech to the nation like a true Statesman.

He’s well versed in politics. He’s a true Statesman.

We have lost a Patriotic statesman And his Name is Ahir Azeem respect ?
