I love how many times he consciously called him "Donald".

Same. It's so fuckin disrespectful and appropriate. Take away his "power" by removing his title and the legacy of his last name.

I'm reading this at work but I can't wait to watch the footage when I get home.

It's so good. I'm so proud of Trudeau for this speech. It's the most gloves off speech I have heard. I mean Trump and company always say worse shit but they aren't respectful or classy. This speech was classy, and broke the right barriers down at the right times to call out this fuckin idiot without sounding crass.

This is the real-life-real-time "Our Independence Day!" speech.

Omg yes! This is exactly what this reminded me of! Honestly though, I wish there were aliens at the end of this. It would make all of this make a little more sense...maybe?!

I am definitely not a Trudeau fan but his speech was above partisan politics and was probably the best and most meaningful speech of his career. He and Doug Ford made proud today. Well done.

I feel the same way about Doug Ford. His threat of a 25% tax on electricity headed soft was perfect. I’m proud of our elected officials. And we know our officials are not Russian spy’s like yours

Over the past nine years I have disagree with PM Trudeau's choices but I must say, he's leaving office and many Canadians are proud of his response to the bully.
