Looking from Estonia: At the beginning of the war in Ukraine, many people could read the opinion that the Russians would probably understand and oppose their country's leader and his stupid decisions. This has not happened in Russia for three years, and if you look and listen to the attitude of American leaders and their voters, then such stupid, silent approval is prevailing there too. True, they are attacking their neighbor only with tariffs.. for now.

You may or may not like Trudeau but this was the true statesman speach. Listening to the orange bully with a kindergarten vocabulary last night....

I love the way he speaks clearly, with a balance of politeness and harshness; every word is so clear that anyone could understand his intentions. I admire his attitude in both positive and negative ways. He is a professional and a true leader.

True words.....watching from Germany and cross my fingers for all Canadians. Looking forward what happend in Europe in the next days.......crazy times , but we'll get through this together and face all the Trumps and Putins that we are stronger

Looks like South Park is coming true\n‘I’m not your guy buddy!!!’ \n‘I’m not your buddy guy!!!’

I liked the way he called Trump ? he’s a true leader ?

Trudeau has had his share of critics during his tenure. But he's always had Canada and its' people in his best interest. While he was forced to resigned as many members of this cabinet was losing faith in him, this is his last week in office with nothing to lose. During these past few weeks, he has been a true champion by rallying the whole country and uniting us closer than I've ever seen. This speech was exactly what we Canadians all feel. Mic Drop! Thanks for the heartfelt comments from around the world.

Congratulations, trump. You f’ed us over and our closest allies. Why would you do this? And it shouldn’t be up to Canada to educate our people as to what’s happening. They have done so in the most polite way possible. I’m looking true north and I see Canada. ??

People need to stop letting Donald Dump use the suffering of Americans to justify what his true intentions are. He’s a convicted felon, drifter that only what’s best for him.

So now the government in Canada wants to defend us & tell us to stand united but in the past decade this country has turned into trash as they gave it away with an open door of Indians taking over and not giving AF about the people born and raised here - the adds on the radio ask us to keep our money in Canada and untie, but we dont even have a Canadian culture left anymore and people living here long enough know its true unfortunately, this was a great place to live but they destroyed it long before this issue - cost of living, housing crisis, immigration, gangs, crime etc. - If they want to keep letting people in here then start a service to help us get out and relocate before asking for help from the people you hurt

From Austria, irrelevant as it might be, I want to express my deep gratitude towards the Canadian Prime Minister for setting an example how true and excellent statesmanship looks like!

British here. Standing with Canada ??. Hats off to Prime Minister Trudeau for showing true leadership and swift Canadian response.

Why is this guy still taking shots..!! Isn’t he resigned..?? Before presenting the budget 2025..?? What a joke this joker told he is going but liberals have no one..! They have stopped parliament and budget 2025 and now he is standing here and pump his chest as if he is fighting Trump..!! Reality check this is completely because of this looser we are facing this..?? The comments he made on Trump thinking he won’t return..?? Everything Trump blaming of Canada is caused by this looser in past 5yrs with his Pimp Jagmeet..!! Today this dumb piece of shit is taking..!! If it’s True they are no border crossing are drugs issue why these liberal beggars are going to Washington and trying to prove they are doing more to Stop..!!

I don't believe everything Justin says but what he said about Canadians is very true, they are very polite people but they are also strong when it comes to a fight. Canadians are nice until they can't be nice anymore than they turn into warriors and brave fighters. If you don't believe me check the Canadian hockey lol very tough to deal with.

Donald thinks he owns the world \nEveryone should stand against this bullying ??\nSee true leadership ? ? respect ? to Canada ??

Vive le Canada ??. True North , strong and free

Trudeau is a true statesman. He is eloquent and respectable. He tells the truth and I believe him.

I have been living in the Canada ? for more than eight years, and even though I am not a citizen, I consider it my home. I’m so proud of you, prime minister Trudeau —this is how a true leader should speak. We are all in this together. Love you Canada ??, and I would give my life for this country if needed. ❤?

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.

He kept a cool head when DT described it as the 51st U.S. state, with the intention of annexing Canada.\n\nThe fact that he will leave his post as prime minister in a few days has allowed him to speak without complex and without restraint, but also influenced by the serious threat to the country and its economy. He leaves with his head held high with a speech that will go into history, it will be part of his legacy.\n\nThe comments are complimentary of Canada, and it is true that they are kind, caring and welcoming people. To be part of it for 40 years, I am currently impressed by the solidarity of the people who boycott American products in supermarkets. They do not do it to harm the Americans they appreciate (spend their holidays at home) but to punish DT for his arrogance and lies. Human stupidity has no nationality.

Our Gov, but we the people get punish..F it less see what happens..I hope Trump have a true plan.. JD got to go...Its just something about that hype man?

Ha Donald this is what a TRUE LEADER LOOKS AN SOUNDS LIKE AN THE ONE THAT YOU WILL NEVER EVER EVER BE . Donald set back in the corner and lesson to true leadership is . We as Americans will always stand with Canada an YOU STAND WITH RUSSIA, North Korea an other dictatorship countries. The America people will stand TOGETHER AS YOU STAND IN THE CORNER BY YOURSELF STOMPING YOUR LITTLE FEET .

Strong, timely and fair response from a true Leader of the free Canada!\nUkraine is proud and blessed to have such ally as Canada ✊

Trudeau is a true leader.

A true leader speaking ‼️ wish we had a leader like this

Even though many hate Justin. He is still million times a better leader than Trump. He is a true Canadian.

Here is a true leader ?

Great to see a true world leader overcome a US imposter who probably smells like toilets and sweat. Wish I lived somewhere else. My mom is blind and I can't really leave her otherwise I'd be a citizen of a real nation, not this BS Potemkinville. Does JD Vance know what that term means? Do any of his unqualified, stupid goons? They are all corrupt and they are all here to destroy democracy at his whim, what a cult of fools.

True democratic Americans understand you, Canada. Love ya'll!

True American Patriots stand with Canada, Ukraine, and Civilized Nations that were US Allies.\nWe do not support those who stand with Fascists Putin, Maduro, Bolsonaro, Un, Orban and Their puppets: president muskrat and his Sloppy seconds

To CNN - get the quote correct, Prime Minister Trudeau quoted the Wall Street Journal. Reflect that in your headline!!\n\nIn terms of this video, I do love watching a true leader speak. \n\nThe Prime Minister is the very opposite of the bloated excuses for human beings - the current president and vice president of the USA, oh and their oligarchs who are equally vile.

Cheers from Belgium!! This is how a TRUE leader speaks! Time to remove that rotten orange out of the fruit bowl! Only thing he wants is the minerals of Ukraine, together with the Russians.

A true MAN, Leader President has spoken ❤supports his people !

A true MAN, Leader President has spoken ❤supports his people !

As an American, First, I am embarrassed by our petulant child of a President who has NO IDEA what he is doing. Canada…despite what you hear, we love you. Our incompetent government is our biggest problem and I am truly sorry for The Worst President we have ever had and his idiocy toward you. He’s our National Embarrassment. Canada we love you. ❤ I truly wish Trudeau was our President! A true pro with class and decorum.

This is a true leader speaks with sense. Trump always talk and talk non sense with mouth drooping

PROUD of my TRUE LEADER. ??? Long live Canada!!!

A true blooded Smart Leader as he speaks brutally true & honestly.Unlike Trump of America is a head ache of the world.

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!

Im Canadian, true Blue conservative, and dot usually like what comes out to Trudeau's mouth, but was very happy to hear his words today...\nOver the past couple decades I have spent tens of thousands of my $$'s in the US.. Sadly not any more.. Sadly we will be staying home and will be standing firm....

I want to move to Canada cause this is what a true leader does and speak unlike this clown that’s in office now

I appreciate having true leaders for the people and prosperity with morals and standing. Today in USA several grocery stores were out of produce from Mexico and wondering gas, car and energy prices going going up. This is what happens when you have spineless leaders wanna be dictators. Putin is benefitting ?

Trudeau - zero people care about anything you say and none of it is true. Changing the channel.

As an American I wish Trudeau was our president. Take notes Donald. This is true leadership here. No billionaire pulling his strings.

This is a true PM. Legend. Great speech. Worrying intro words. Confirmed Donald is with the Russians.

This is what a true leader sounds like. God knows we don't have one.

This is a true Leader. Not what we have

He's a true leader all countries can learn from this man. A true role model to many ??????.

You’re true leader Canada is trying to win his election back. That’s all it is!!$

Prime Minister Trudeau epitomizes a true leader. I wish he was my country's leader. Kudos to him for directly addressing the P.O.S. who calls himself our leader. Thank you for your support of the American citizens and empathizing with us as we have to endure yet another term.
