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. ❤?

It's unfortunate our current Prime Minister is on his way out. I sure hope my fellow Canadians do not elect Trump butt kisser Pierre polieve. Americans, we love you, we love to visit your beautiful country, every American I've met has been so friendly but America, how did you elect that trouble maker?

I love you Prime Minister Justine Trudeau???

Ok, to be honest, this is exactly what the other side want, reactions/panic. Trump loves it...but be honest... he is a buissnessman(!), don´t ever forget that!! My heart struggel so hard with this one... How? Why? When/Ever?\n\nTo Canadian Prime minister: I hear you and will make a change as a born child 1976, Euorpean. US was the ONE-country to discover as a young fellow! I will for now on also hearing Canadian news and other countries like Australia, France, Great Britain, South Africa, Japan, etc. Democracy <3 \n\nUS we hear you still but this is NOT ok!!! It would be to go against our absolut nearest neighbour hood! Our most trusted!! We love them!!! How can you??!! We would never do that!! Our countries are united and will stand together, beside what one person or government says, that is democracy!!! Stand up US people!!! \nWe are united, we are one! Don´t let his words get you, ever!

I didn’t vote for the FELON or f ELON. Prime Minister Trudeau will you allow Michigan to succeed to Canada?? ??????\nAs a highly educated Michigander who has spent over 5 decades enjoying the beauty, kindness, culture and hospitality of Canadians visiting Thunder Bay, Ontario, Toronto and so many other beautiful places with my parents, siblings and now my children, I am heartbroken that it has come to this. Please know that Americans do not support this clown and his GOP lackeys. We love you and you will ALWAYS be our neighbors. Resist, we understand and support you even though it will cause pain. ??????

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.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke eloquently and professionally as a true leader should. Canada you will get through this. I am neither Canadian or American but I am with Canada but I stand firmly with Canada. I love your country and I love Canadians.❤❤❤❤❤

I always respect and love Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau because he’s a great person!!! I’m so proud of you for what you did for your country!!!

Love this look and confidence from Justin Trudeau ! I am sad to see you leave your title of Prime minister. We could use alot of good speech like the ones you are giving us lately. Speeches that makes us proud to be Canadians . Love and support from Montreal xox.

❤❤❤ I tried to like all the comments from our wonderful USA neighbors and supporters from around the world ? Canadians love you too !!!! Sorry we have too protect our sovereignty ❤❤❤ I am proud of my Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ? ❤ speech

Prime Minister Trudeau, I am sorry President Trump's irresponsible ideas and choices affect so many negatively which includes you and your Canadians, and me and my Americans, as well as so many other. He should be ashamed of himself, but we all know that a narcissist feels only joy in hurting others. I worry every day, not just for the people of the United States of America, but also for all people around the world affected by this horrible man. I stand up and speak up with the hope that it makes a difference. Those I know are doing the same. I have heard so many republicans that voted for Trump, so very sorry now that they did. His irrational behavior is worthy of impeachment. Your speech, Prime Minister Trudeau, was honest and sincere and I appreciate your being so candid. I wish President Trump and Vice President Vance had the character you have. Best Wishes to you and the People of Canada, we have been friends for a long time and I would love to continue this friendship. Remember there are Americans here that appreciate you and your country.

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.

I love you Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, you are good & forthright. Wish i could move to Canada!

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

Guys you understand canada priminster brings canada very poor country also support terrorists, I love canada come back right direction with other prime minister, canada is great country no doubt

I stand with you, Canada and Prime Minister Trudeau. I love that you have a reasonable, decent, humane adult leader, Canada, and not an insane, bloated, screaming orange toddler. I'm so sorry America has allowed this to happen, and I'm grieving for our formerly friendly relationship. Not all of us wanted this. Please forgive those of us who stand with you and our allies and not with Tr*mp, Vance, and Putin. I love you, Canada! ?? ? ?? ❤

I'm an American and I'm beyond disgusted that the convicted felon adjudicated rapist Dictator worshipper Dictator wannabe was allowed to run for any political office especially President. I believe Musk's vote counting system corrupted the election. I have never and never will vote for Trump and his evil co conspirators. Now some of the MAGA voters are regretting their votes, well they chose to believe the cons lies over the easily verifiable facts especially Project 2025 that again lied on national TV that he knew nothing about Project 2025 yet his name is on hundreds of pages in project 2025 documents. Trump and his goons belong in prison.\nI support and love Canada and Ukraine. Devastating that the real elected President Kamala Harris was robbed of that because of manipulation and foreign interference. Americans are suffering and the suffering will get worse except for the top wealthiest.\nThank you Prime Minister for standing up to the biggest deranged bully on Earth and all the countries that are supporting Canada.\nIt disturbs me beyond words, I have generations in my family that have served in our military, ,my father served in WWII and Korea he fought at the Battle of the Bulge and liberated Buchenvald concentration camp the atrocities he witnessed affected him for the rest of his life, and here we have a 5 time draft dodger whose rich daddy paid a Dr to falsify deferment paperwork for phoney bone spurs, he's a coward and a bully

THANK YOU PM Trudeau! As an American who grew up on the Detroit/Windsor border, I love our Canadian friends. And it hurts my heart to see what’s happening right now between our countries. I HATE this administration. I have never once voted for the man who sits in the Oval Office right now. But I will respectfully disagree on one thing with you - that man is not a very smart guy. Otherwise, if he were - this would not be happening!! Bless you Prime Minister. ??

We stand with you, Prime Minister Trudeau. We love you. I will not buy one Fuck1ing USA product. I will not go to visit my ailing sister in the USA. I am done with the USA until smart ass Americans get their vote right!!

Prime Minister Truddeau most Americans don't want this either, we love our Canadian neighbors and hate seeing what this administration is doing. I and I believe most Americans support you in standing up against Dictators Trump and Musk. Stand strong and don't back down from this tyrant.

So sad that our beautiful and smart, polite Prime Minister will be stepping down. I am so very appreciative of You Mr. Trudeau. You have fought a good fight Sir. Love you.

Anyone who ever was a victim of bullying understands exactly what is going on and how it will end for those who wants to appease/bend to the bully. Yes, it will be painful for Canada, extremely. But you have to get really sick in order to recover stronger than ever before. Zelensky knew the inner workings of how bullies work so he probably knew the white house meeting won't end cordially especially it is occupied by people he has no love for and he understood the lack of love was mutual. I think he'd bent over and wagged his tail if he thought that'd help his nation but knowing that will not get his country anywhere anyways, why would he bend over and try to please someone who was determined to screw him and his country to begin with. Zelensky saw how Canadian prime minister was treated and how he tried to please Mr. T yet to no avail. Yes, Zelensky has no real good, readily available cards to play. If the game is rigged, no reason to play by your rule, is there?

Thank you Prime Minister Justin Trudeau , I am a Native New Yorker and I Love and Respect Canada and it's people. You are doing what you must do in the best Interest of your country. \nOur Illegitimate and Treasonous Leader Is not only a danger to The United States, But the World as well. WE are all Praying for the day that he is held accountable for all of his Crimes. And Removed from all our Lives for good.

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau, merci beaucoup! Your address to our proud nation Saturday night helped my family and me feel safer. It's much like during COVID-19 when you were there for Canadians at every step, every turn with initiatives and concrete help. Too bad we cannot procure masks and vaccines to ward off Trump-25. You, your Ministers and Premiers are working so hard trying to reason with a lunatic addicted to power and chaos and inform Americans of the facts. With prorogation, there have been no Poilièvre shenanigans to waste time on and your complete focus has been, as always, on protecting Canadians. For this I thank you again and tell you how much you will be missed in our household. Forgive a personal note: I hope you and Mme Grégoire will find your way back to each other when you can be a family without the heavy burden of this job, a job I know you love. And very personally - I shall miss the handsome, capable, well-spoken man of stature and intellect who also happens to be my Prime Minister. Vraiment!

I’m a Canadian citizen. I married a Jewish African woman. And helped her get her citizenship after we got married here in Canada. Then we stood outside in the -20 degrees c freezing cold in a long lineup of good people trying to get their citizenships like my wife, all legally obeying the laws of Canada. I’m white so it doesn’t mater our skin color or religion. Its about love and respect to the laws of our country. What I was talking about before is we here in Canada have been suffering from over taxation, extremely high rental rates, high food costs, greatly reduced medical care (My Mom died recently from lack of proper med care resources). They put her lonely dying body in the hallway where she was robbed of her cell phones, money, food and respect. Due to migrants and illegal immigrants overloading the beds and rooms pouring in from other countries. they drained our existing medical system resources and much more. Drug addicts who overdosed on Fentanyl they take first and push all other patients aside. Doctors take them first before helping a dying mother, father, brother or sister, infant and children pushed aside to save a drug addicts life first. I have been told many times this is also do to them taking care of the pouring in migrants and illegal immigrants using it all up. Where is love and justice? Yes, you failed us Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. You sold us Canadian citizens out and tossed us aside for your own agendas. You are a disgrace to Canada and we the people want you out of office.

My name is Jamie, every time you go for a job at gas station they never hire no body else but Indians. I was born in this country and have never had this problem back in the 90s. Every time I go two a job agency that our owned buy indians people they always say we will call you if a job will come up and that happens two me every time I am so feed up of this bull shit my friend. I have been out of work for 5 years and still can't find a job because the imagrants our taking our jobs from the white populations. Every where you go like subway Tim Hortons Wallmart and many other stores our getting jobs over the white population. When is this madness going two stop? I am getting pissed off all the time. I would love two see Doug Ford stop stop stop this kind of discirmatation. Can you tell mw when a job agency is going two hire white people like myself? You guys should go back to you Country and be happy over their. I am getting tired when you go two a car wash owned buy Indians they always wont give me a job god dame it. The next Prime Minister needs tow wake up and stop this bull shit. If you live in the UK they would get fined for behaving like this for sure my friend. This country is going down the drain. You guys our destroying Canada 100 percent. You guys our taking our jobs away with needs two stop stop stop right now.

I just love when you go to a country that there's so much chaos going on and then all the sudden here comes the prime Minister he's got gold hanging all over him and got an all kinds of guys hanging on them and but yet the country so poor the politician is a weasel

I feel very safe in downtown Toronto because I am accustomed to it. I've never experienced any issue with the homeless and continue to talk to them, offer them food IFFFF they just happen to be pan-handling and often hug them to make them very SEEN. I feel safer in downtown Toronto at 3 am then I do when the 905'ers (suburban types) come to party in the entertainment district or around any French-separatist bc of how they are liable to treat me for my lack of decent conversational French. And IF guns are reported, I have to the thank the US for smuggling them in. \nFinally - as for health care - I believe its breaking down... our hospitals are beginning to fail us. The decline in health care is SO evident, BECAUSE anytime the Conservative party is in provincial legislative power they drop medical and education funding. I believe medical funding is being dropped purposefully to manipulate the population's thinking in order to have us eventually\nvote FOR privatization of health care. I NEVER MIND PAYING TAXES - WHAT I MIND... IS HOW OUR TAX DOLLARS ARE BEING SPENT... it all depends on the party in power. I would pay 40% income tax happily IFFFF our tax dollars were devoted to services mirroring the way Scandinavian countries do - they invest it WELL in their municipal services rather rather than blow it. \nOur federal and provincial bureaucrats are sucking. Fine... our municipal bureaucrats are sucking, too. Oh, Canada - I love you and wish Pierre Trudeau, or Joe Clark or Ed Broadbent were back in Parliament. I miss you Jack Layton. We would have loved to have seen you as Prime Minister. CANADA IS MUCH TOO INFLUENCED BY THE US... we are thankfully different, but your influence is\nmuch too prevalent. And as for the Canadian people - get your heads out of your asses and re-familiarize yourselves with Canadian CIVIC STUDIES. The shit was taught in grades 7, 8 and on.

Please come back in next election ..and get ticket..from PTI.. and fight election , you must be politician , you can change fate of pakistan, irrespective of your religion , all pakistanis love you.. beleive me ... please take challenge.. i hope you can be our first Christian Prime Minister...

I’m an independent (and I mean it, I feel zero in common with either party right now). \n\nWith that said, I live in San Francisco and work in tech. There’s the STRANGEST thing here. People idolizing Canada as their liberal shining star of a country. \n\nBut uhhh...they greatly limited their refugee intake as well. \n\nRemember those oil pipelines you were so against? They start in Canada. Canada’s prime minister who you love, was the one applying pressure on the US to allow them to be built. \n\nBut hey, they got universal healthcare. \n\n...but that’s literally it.
