As a once proud Canadian, the guy said everything every Canadian feels. He is also right about Sikhs being better than Africans. The Somalis and Eritreans are actually intolerable and have no respect at all for their host country. Deport them all please. Thank you for speaking your mind based biker man and may someone buy you a Pilsner if ever in the prairies 🫡

I’m a proud Indian who is now a Canadian citizen, and I’ve made a conscious effort to assimilate into Canadian culture and values. What bothers me is how this conversation has been reduced to blaming one group. The reality is that the Canadian government failed first by not properly managing immigration volumes, not enforcing document verification, and not honestly assessing whether the country could support such rapid population growth. That policy failure created pressure on housing, jobs, and social systems long before resentment followed. We also need honesty within the Indian community. Some Indians struggle to adapt being overly loud, culturally rigid, and sometimes lacking empathy for Canadian norms and shared public spaces. I studied Canadian and Indigenous history in school, and respecting that history matters. Assimilation doesn’t mean abandoning your culture, but it does mean understanding and respecting the society you chose to join. Cultural education should be expected, not optional. That said, one Indian doing something wrong does not make all Indians bad. Most Indian students and workers I know are hardworking, punctual, and serious about contributing. I’ve personally worked minimum-wage jobs for years, and what I noticed was not jobs being “taken,” but fewer Canadian youth willing to stay in or commit to these roles long-term. Indians didn’t replace Canadians, they filled vacancies that already existed. I also briefly volunteered helping the homeless, and what I saw was honestly shocking. It’s not that the government isn’t trying to help there are rehabilitation programs and support systems in place. The difficult truth is that a significant portion of the homeless population struggles with substance abuse and refuses treatment because it requires giving up drugs. Over time, homelessness itself starts to function like a culture, where benefits and assistance unintentionally enable continued substance use rather than recovery. This is an uncomfortable reality people don’t like to talk about. None of this is simple. Immigration didn’t break Canada, and neither did one community. Poor policy, weak enforcement, lack of accountability, and refusal from governments and individuals to adapt responsibly is what brought us here. Blame is easy. Honest solutions are not.

As an Indian, that's really sad and I'm sorry on behalf of everyone Every country needs to protect it's identity If you're proud of your country, stay there. If you wish to move out from your country just assimilate, learn their language , learn their rules, follow their traditions and be nice Idk why it's so difficult for them to understand such basic things Government needs to thoroughly scrutinise immigrants. Tbh it's bad for both countries There are good, kind and respectful Indians but because of these idiots who don't assimilate and behave stupidly, the actual good ones get hate and face racism For canada or any country, immigrants should only be legitimately skilled. Before entering the country they need to be taught the rules and asked straightforward questions by the officers I support immediate deportation of all those idiots who don't assimilate and create ruccus in other countries

As a indian my self i found saying "proud canadian " from a indian is really weird cringy they are not even inviting you and all of they just tryn hard to associate with them either make india better or live here there is no need to move out HIndus are already started birthcontrols being aware is just all we need thats it i think whites or native people are right because no one likes sudden changes !! I am also capable of moving out but i will not i think i can do something better here i can make my community better . Indians also have this some kind of invisible competetion between there extended fam. or neighbourhood which is the one of the shittiest reason of indian leaving india they think washing dishes is better then a business or farmer here . I know we have multiple problems but leaving them would not give any solution to them ,we are actually growing it takes time to be like any europian country but im sure we should not have to like them we can be better in our own we are not in a race of living better all we have to do is making our living standards better Rule No 1 Never make more than 2 children Dont do something uncivilied thing in front of them We are really good in cleaning our houses but focus on streets too( ofc this is not for all many of us are actually doing this) Dont give shit about politics too much your control should be in your hands Practice religion very well , Dont cutt off from roots Dont beileve in pathetic rituals Rivers are water sources respecting them means keep them clean as possible thats all Work on esthetics of your streets try to make your house lil similar to all and dont think of job either you can make jobs THATS ALL. In this case like if we say we dont want to tolerate illegal bangladeshis same as they NO nation wants too much people from a particular country it obviously feels like invaded Anyhow To all white people reading this May be you can found us problematic in some way but most indian are really sweet and kind by heart .

Why is that all hate against Indians in Canada? Am not Indian origin , but what is wrong for Indian making majority in Brampton. Am black African living in Toronto , who love this country for giving me the chance to build my life and always I bless Canada and Canadians.saying all this , Do we not have a pocket in a city / town dominated by people whose origin traces all the way from Italy/ Portuguese/ Lebanon / Ukraine etc . So for me , yes you can talk about controlled immigration without dehumanizing Indian migrants. Am a proud Christian , and receiving an immigrants is a blessing, even my lord and king Jesus Christ was refugee in Egypt. The west welcoming immigrants coming from Christian heritage, that is why indeed western countries are very blessed. Am not saying, open border policy is acceptable . Still you talk respectfully about controlled immigration without dehumanizing any group of immigrants.

Sorry I don't believe that Indian dude, from my personal experience of working for an Indian company, being the only white employee, not 1 of them ever told 100% truth! Lying is considered Normal in they're Culture, they don't see it as lying!!! I bet anything he found away around the rules and cheated and lied to get his RN Certificate and now does the bare minimum at his job, thats what he meant by its easy now!!! Note he also said Canada is like Indian, that just means they are turning it into India, so how can a person say they're proud to be Canadian??? Proud to be a Canadian means you asymulate, not turn it into India! Your getting a warped opinion from a lying Indian!!! That said I did meet a few good Indian elders mostly, as they follow the beliefs were all equal and treat you with respect, but if it ever comes down to an Indian against a white person in a dispute, the Indian will Always be favored in they're communities!!!😎😎😎

Thank you lord, for all these people speaking up. I am a proud Canadian woman. And I love people and animals.😊. I see my own country changing drastically and it's not for the good. I see alot of hatred from people who are not from my beautiful country. I don't know why they have so much hate for people from Canada, I am not saying everyone from a different country are like that but just from what I witnessed. If you have so much hatred than why are you here? This is a beautiful country no need for hatred. Please respect one another and stop the hate, just be happy you are in a country that has alot of opportunity to be free and live happily. 😊❤.

My grandfather fought in wwII. It's sad but I'm so happy he is not here to see what has become of this country he fought and risked his life for. Its so pathetic . I've always been proud to be Canadian now I want to get out of this country and live elsewhere. I feel my grandfather left his family risked his life for Canadians to be living in encampments while we continue to allow more immigrants into this country that do not respect it. Not only can we not find housing and are living in tents. It's funny but I don't see any immigrants living in tents. Where can I vote to be the 51st state. Sign me up

We need to get rid of the Muslims now before it's too late. I am a proud Canadian with Caribbean parents but this influx of Indians and Muslims who dont respect our ways, needs to stop now!! Before we lose our country.

Well.. What goes around comes around it is said. When the settlers from Europe,, Great Britain came to this huge beautiful land blessed with a bountiful, lavish nature did they ever care to understand,study and respect the value and life of those original natives who were the very first pioneers of Canada? Did they adopt their ways language and culture at least to a certain extent? Leave alone adopting or understanding. They took over the entire country and it's peoples through a brutal form of genocide and erasure of their beautiful natural way of life. Thekr lands were stolen, their languages extinguished, their culture spurned and erased.. These immigrants from Europe believed in their fanatical missionary zeal that they were saving the souls of tjese natives by forcing Christianity down their throats proudly announcing that they were on a civilising mission. Babies were stolen from their mothers and brought up as Christians. Families were separated leaving mothers in anguish never to see their children again. Slaughter of those who resisted became an accepted norm until the original native of Canada became a disappearing entity and those who survived are till today just surviving. It is to these people that Canada belongs and not to the invading anglo saxon proyestants and Christian evangelists or the mogrants from across the world. If anyone has a right to protest and femand their land back ots the native Canadians. It should be their government not of those who took over. So get a lottlr acquainted with true history and look at things with am intelligent honest perspective.. .

Proud Canadian here! Respect to our prime minister, stand up Canada ??♥️

Real Leadership! Proud of you, Canada! \nWith respect from Kyiv, Ukraine

Very proud of you PN Trudeau, VERY well deserved and spoken, with respect! US Military veteran.

Brilliant end of leadership for Trudeau. No leader is perfect, but he has always been diplomatic, respectful and has stood up for our people. Proud to be Canadian ❤️

I am so proud of Canada and the Prime Minister. As an American, and respect and support this professional and empathic acknowledgement to this hideous tariff war. Americans are watching a mature leader, addressing several nations. The Heritage foundation is reckless and feeding Dfrump.

Proud Canadian….we stand with our leaders. Great speech, respectful, intelligent, on point… …standing up for ?? No drama, just facts.

Please sir, may I move to Canada. Im not a karen, i mind my business and engage in civility, dignity and respect. I appreciate this speech. So proud

A Prime Minister who respect human rights, promote transparency, and prevent corruption. With all my Respect, thank you Monsieur Premier Ministre ?. I am a very Proud Canadian ??

Love all the support, from a proud Canadian! To the American people, we still love and respect all of you! Even the ones who want to annex us and call us a 3rd world country even though it’s hard in these times

Too bad he's resigning. He spoke like a true leader. Respectful but firm. I've never been prouder to be a Canadian in my life and I have always been proud.

I am not a fan of Justin Trudeau… but my goodness I am so proud of him right now. And I LOVE how he referred to Herr Trump as just plain old Donald — zero formality and respect. I am a firm believer in you get what you give. ❤️??

Now there's a real, respectable statesman. Not an ill-mannered narcissist and bully in a suit.\nThat was a great speach. I hope leaders in Europe take note. I hope our new administration takes note.\nCanada, you can be proud. Stand tall!\nSupport and best wishes from Germany

We should make both countries prosperous and no tariffs. Work to help our neighbours south also.we can be still one have a tremendous amount of respect for our neighbours south. Love their country as we do ours . We are proud Canadians as our neighbours are proud Americans.

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!!!

Not a fan of Trudeau but that was a great speech, and I am proud of what he did. He's earned my respect for siure.

Great leadership qualities folks. I never thought he had it in him. ?. Well done Canada. Respect for not bowing down like other leaders. Be proud Canada. We are of him.

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.

PM Trudeau is an example to follow and surely makes all Canadians proud for his reply to Donald Trump. I am European but also a big fan of the US; it is such a shame to see the light of the democracy fading away in a country which was once considered as one of the most consolidated world democracy. One question for all the US people reading this comment (with all due respect but is this what you mean by 'Make America Great again ?' ?

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

I’m proud of the Canadian leaders, who are kind and care about the well being of Canadians, and the world, Canadian leaders who are respectful, and don’t bully the less fortunate countries, I’m so proud of the Canadian leaders, the Canadian leaders who aren’t bullies, and are well educated, unlike US leader Trump.

Canadians should be PROUD. What a nation, unite. Massive respect.

Prime Minister, I have not voted for you three times. I have not really agreed with your policies since you came to power. I have even thought that you did not know when to make a 'dignified departure. And now today when you have literally five days left before you step off the dais for good, I listen to you and am proud. This is what a leader does and says and I give you my respect and thanks as a fellow Canadian.

From Aussie land here, that was an excellent speech you should be proud Canada. We luv you guys, its great to see your country stand together total respect. Stay strong for 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 have always been a proud American citizen. My paternal side of my family has been traced back to the Mayflower and I have ancestors and family that have served in the Revolutionary War, the American Civil War, WWl, WWll, Vietnam, the Gulf, and Afghanistan. This country has made many mistakes and has had much shame throughout its existence for various things but this is the first time and U.S. president has turned his back on our friends and allies in favor of an evil authoritarian leader named Vladimir Putin who strokes his massive ego and gives him elusions of power and respect from Putin when in reality Putin is playing Trump like a fiddle. The New York Times was not right. Donald Trump is not a bright guy. I stand strongly with my friends in Canada ??.

Canada you are standing strong and proud in this unnecessary, unwarranted trade war. You have much respect and admiration from this US citizen and many others.\n\nUnfortunately, our sitting US President is acting as though he thinks he is an Apex predator. America is going to seriously regret letting this man reach this level of power.

Very proud of him, respects from belgium

I am an American, but my Ancestors were French Canadians who immigrated to Montpelier, Vermont at the turn of the 20th century. Your support in wanting the best for both of our countries makes me so proud of my roots. Charlie Angus as well as Justin Trudeau have integrity and are willing and able to fight for what is right. Please know you are a highly respected nation by most of the people in this country. I have always been so proud of my country, but am now so embarrassed and deeply troubled. Please pray for your neighbors and the democracy of our Republic. I am related to Louis Cyr, Canadian Strongman. Don't give up on us. God be with both of our nations!

As an American, i want to say sorry. I didnt vote for him and i would never vote for him. Im sorry we both have to deal with this. Im so proud of you all and respect you all for this decision. Please remember us.❤

Excellent speech!! Proud to be Canadian ... a citizen of a country who truly respects humanity and world peace.?? I lived in the U.S. for two decades and know first-hand that many wonderful Americans do not share the disrespectful and dangerous rhetoric of Donald Trump and gang. We are better together than divided!! Stand up! Speak up! ❤️????❤

Canadians must be proud to have Trudeau, a guy with immense big balls. Not small fish caviar like in Donald Trump's sack.\nGreetings from Austria and respect for not let your country get bullied from the disgusting Trump buffoon.\nTrudeau is a hero!

I'm proudly Canadian Trump is jerk , so is Elon Musk , Vance as well . 3 goof balls with no respect , no matters

Well done canada for standing your ground....having family there I know how strong the feeling is amongst Canadians.....be proud of who you are and take your produce , minerals and oil and deal with people who will treat you like an equal respected partner .I've no doubt europe will be next ......the american government will slowly isolate itself from its western partners and that's s real shame for the American public .......it'll cost jobs in the us cause inflation and it's gonna get a lot more expensive for everyone

Gotta disagree w/ Mr. Trudeau on one point, when he says Trump is 'very smart'--NO. Otherwise, Trudeau's speech was spot-on, and I love and respect Canada even more now. Most of us Americans cannot be proud of our country; we are held captive by a wannabe dictator and his stooges who are self-serving, vindictive, and UNpatriotic! To gather some semblance of sanity, I am taking the family on a Canadian Rockies tour in late spring--am tempted to not return home again.

Proud & Respected Canada Leader with a class...Salute to Mr Trudeau

Prime Minister JustinTrudeau your a true Canadian standing up to a criminal and pervert. I am anishnabe and I have respect for you. It,s disheartening to know that the Ontario Premeirand another out west and a Zionist support Donald Trump, a proud white supremmist. I will VOTE for you as a courageous Prime Minister

From Norway. I stand for Canada,Mexico,Ukraina end Europa. Let’s stand together against Trump and his rich friends.. Trump is Pultins puppet and first ´´ladý´… and to your Americans who’s stand up for Canada I respect and are proud of You.

As a proud and sane Canadian I understand most Americans are not in line with the current administration in this and I implore my fellow Canadians in joing me to remain respectful of our American friends neighbors and relatives. Please cheer for the American National Anthem and repect the American flag. Donald Trump and his phonies will pay for their stupidity. To all Americans please don't take retaliation personally, but it must be done to protect our Country and our sovereignty. Trumps tariffs have nothing to do with drugs and the border. It has everything to do with his insane dream of being the ruler of the world.

For the first time I actually respect a speech by Trudeau. I have not supported him in anything ever. Except for this. I actually feel proud.

Being a Canadian, originally from South Asia (NEPAL), I would like to express my huge RESPECT to our honorable Prime Minister ! A political leader of a country should be like Mr. Trudeau!!!\nRespect ?and proud of you, Hon. PM !
