I honestly don't know this man, but he is very organized, he knows how to speak, his speech is very clear. I believe he is a true leader to his country(Canada).

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.

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.

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

Very good speech from a true leader ! So sad that Trump is doing this to the best allies of the USA. Obviously, Putin does really have some compromising videos and info on Trump and he is manipulating him. Today, I am ashamed to have become an US citizen. Is this what the American Dream has become ? Isolationism from our best allies and sleeping with the enemy and dictators ?

I almost forgot what it’s like to listen to a cogent speech from a world leader. No name calling, no yelling, no threats, no blaming others. \n\nJust a true leader.

There are no winners in a trade war. True. Look at history. So sorry about this decision by Trump. This is a very clear speech. May the United States powers that be reconsider this current tariff and fentanyl issues. As an American citizen I wish to work with Canadians and your government. Generations of common goals and friendship need to be upheld. My wish is for reconciliation.

This is how a true president makes a speech. Donald is a pathetic excuse for a president.

Great speech, eloquently speaking with facts. I stand with the Canadian people and the true Americans. Love from Portugal

i cant stand Trudeau but ill be honest this is the first and only time ive seen him speak with true confidence and conviction. i have never seen him speak so honestly. There is no facade here. Great speech.

Great speech Mr. Trudeau. that's how a true President should sound. not like Diaper Don.

This speech demonstrates a true leader. No yelling, no insults, simple honesty and respect . Even if you have a different opinion, you can't ignore the difference

The best speech of a true leader \nWe are the Canadian people standing strong and together to fight back

I'm so proud of our Prime Minister what an intelligent speech. Now this what a true leader should be.

as an old Swissman. Impressive speech Mr.Trudeau! This is how a true leader speaks. Long live Canada!\nWhat is this orange madman doing with his great country, the USA? \nHow could anyone vote for such a man? You can see what he's doing. Starting an economic war for what?

Time for the rich people of this country to step and help us weather this storm and not move your head office and business to the U S Can't wait to see the end of the Liberals but I have to say that might be Trudeau's best speech. Too little too late tho.. Not sure calling him dumb will help no matter how true it is.

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.

what a beautifully crafted and heartfelt speech by a true leader. no bluster, no hyperbolic ranting, just facts and setting out the stage as trump is engineering it

Thats a great speech, but i have a question for the canadians: i heard that quality of life has suffered so much, less income, rising prices, problems with immigration and crime. Is it true?\nI hope we, europe, canada and the free world, can pull it together!

Lol ? those who cry the loudest publicly are the ones who bend the knee behind closed doors . Its a worthless speech. Its a empty nothing backing speech. Only pawns would think this guy is tough lol ? its absolutely amazing what a true patriot can do . America first .

The only thing that was wrong with this speech was referring to Trump as “very smart guy”.. This is what a true leader sounds like! Intelligent, speaking facts and to the point!??????????

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.

Compare this speech to Trump's briefings. You can tell who is a true nation leader.

A speech that shows true leadership unlike that coming out of the White House!

Go Justin Go! Go Canada Go! So good and true speech! Wake up USA. You need to take back your country before its totally destroyed!!!

Well done Canada ??? A great speech given by Trudeau, a true leader. Europe will trade with ye ??

Great speech, so true! Regards from Holland

What a true speech by this amazing leader of Canada. What Trump did is the dumbest thing to do against Canada.

What a great speech ?a true Leader indeed.

Very strong and superb speech of Trudeau. Speaking like a true leader not like trump, who speaks like a person who is going through mental disorder and a puppet of Elon, who unfortunately holds a Canadian citizenship. Trump,Elon and Vance are the new Hitler working putin

Powerful speech by Trudeau! He did not mince words and addressed head-on calling out Trump! He called him Donald, not President Trump, no sugar-coating! This is a hallmark of a true and STRONG leader!

Wow. A true leader. An excellent speech. Even massaging the bloated President's ego along the way. ?\nFrom Great Britain, we are with you 100%. ?????????

Very good speech. All true and i cant wait to see the criminal trump to get boo'ed out of the oval office . Seldom have i seen someone as stupid as him and seldom have i seen such stupid measures that destroy not others but only and mostly americans.\n\nGod bless america to never vote again for the dummest guy in the country

Now this is true leader speaking. Clearly, coherently, intelligently. To the point. Compare Mr. Trudeau's speech with inane ramblings of painted Russian w**** Americans elected as their crook-in-chief.

From England …. What a true calm detailed and factual speech… a class act that stands above all the rubbish and lies coming out of the White House and the GOP. Republicans have no balls and they should all be impeached for appeasement with Russia… shame on America and up the Canadian European alliance .. long live freedom and democracy

Justin Trudeau exemplified true leadership in this speech. I have never been prouder of our Govt in standing up to a bully.

Excellent speech from PM Trudeau! An example of true leadership! From Illinois and standing with my Canadian friends and allies! Trump, Vance, and Musk are repulsive, sickening, and a shameful embarrassment to the US! I hope the US can recover someday. ?

Great speech!! I only have my doubts about the part 'you are a smart guy...'. It's polite, but not true. Trump is dumb as hell.

Why keep on talking just do what you want. Person who talk to much no knowledge and afraid to face reality. Please stop telling true lies speech.

This good reporting Dennis...but it's true both Zelensky and Putin are Dictators.... Zelensky has been brutal on freedom of assembly speech and has banned religious groups..Putin we can't even talk about it...they have both committed war crimes...there is no law that allows war crimes coz you defending your self...

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

That's not true US and Canada will diplomatically kick out brahmin hindus,the reason is radical hinduvtav movement within US and Canada behind hate speech, hate rallies, assassination and failed assassination of US abd Canadaian citizens all connected to the movement, indian,sikhs,Muslim, Christians are all living a peaceful life here.

I wonder how she feels now after the hate speech given at MSG! No doubt now of their true racism towards Latino’s!

Bro it's special freedom of speech of Canada. You did not need such a disclaimer for your video to start.Canada is very welcoming to immigrants for its own economic benefit. The moment it's a tad of an issue their true colour comes out which is highly racial. Racism flows very well underneath in Canada. Besides it's whole system is full of loopholes by politicians. There is no gre type of exams to choose best students. So how can u expect best brains here?

I don't get this narrative of people coming Canada make a better life for themselves. It may be true for couple years back pre-Justin Turd but most Canadians are struggling with high cost of living, not able to have a roof over their head, failed health care, exorbitant tax, zero freedom of speech, terrorist and protestors everywhere. I don't see any sane person willing to come to Canada. The only people who are coming to Canada are to illegally cross in to US. No one wants to live in Justin Turd Canadistan shitland.

Trump didn't try to stop this. He wanted this so that he could use it as part of his STUB speech for the election. He literally blocked a bill from being passed that would have supplied the border with THOUSANDS of border protection agents. Oh, but that's fake news right? I forgot any news against Trump is fake news and any news that benefits him is true.

His speech is so true. This is happening EVERYWHERE!

It takes TRUE DOUGH to live in TORONTO. Get a good political job so you can suck off of the taxpayers and don’t exercise free speech to keep your job.

My free speech was automaticaly altered by this platform. What you read is way less to what ny statement is. Thet are preventing people true words to be read!!!!
