In a touching and emotional moment, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s daughter, Ella-Grace, took the stage at the Liberal leadership race event to offer a heartfelt tribute to her father’s time as PM. At just 16 years old, Ella-Grace spoke about the challenges of growing up in the public eye and seeing her father constantly in the spotlight on social media. Despite the stress of leading the country for nearly a decade, she expressed her pride in her dad and joked about looking forward to having him home more and online less. The moment was made even more special as the two shared a loving embrace on stage, marking the end of an era for Trudeau’s time as Prime Minister.

Oh gosh, I am so ashamed, being older than our young Prime Minister (although I've never been involved in politics) and having raised my own kids, that before I saw this video it never once crossed my mind that there was any connection at all between growing up as the child of a Prime Minister and going on to become a father and a Prime Minister himself! Even though I was around for both father and son's tenures as our leaders (truly..how did I miss that?). It did not occur to me how difficult both positions could be from this perspective or that Justin's understanding of this concept would influence his relationship with his own kids. Duh!! What a great speech from this young woman and a reminder that older does not always mean wiser! Humbling lesson learned!
I would add that I've never been more proud of a Prime Minister than I have been of Trudeau in these last weeks. I was hoping he'd show the true Canadian fighting spirit, given that he was already on the way out and had nothing to lose by taking the gloves off anyway. And he didn't let me down! "Not a snowball's chance in hell"….."that was a dumb thing to do"…"Donald")…and so on. I wanted more!! Thank you for that my friend! It felt like…."Justinication" (yes, I made that up just now…redemption for my previous oversight, I hope).
To be honest, I don't think any Canadian could say that they could have, or would have, done any better as our leader knowing that Trudeau suffered the insufferable first term of Trump, and did that throughout the terrible Covid times (recalling when Trump denied that Covid was even a real thing), nearly the entirety of Russia's attack on Ukraine (since 2014), and then the unimaginable second term of Trump. How unlucky was he? I am glad it was his job to deal with these issues rather than mine (trust me, we'd be in much worse shape had I been holding those same cards, or any cards…you're welcome, fellow Canadians!).
Thank you for your service to our great nation Sir! I wish you sleep, more sleep, and lots of family time in the months to come. Will welcome further 'Donald' scathing should you wish to give him another Canadian tongue-lashing in future. Always up for that! In the meantime, the rest of us will continue to fight (and win), every single day, even without our beloved US booz!
Much respect for your work as our Prime Minister, for being a proud and faithful Canadian, and still being there for your family, as evidenced here. Well done! Well effing done!
Caveat: I have never voted Liberal in my entire life and probably never will. But respect and political party loyalty are two completely different concepts that most Canadians understand to be mutually interchangeable.And they are! Thank you again for your service, Mr. Trudeau. I am forever grateful and will never forget how bravely you fought for Canadians, me, over the last 10 years.
Isn't it magical that we can even speak these words so quickly and easily using our relatively newfound friend called the 'internet'? Grateful! So grateful! Please, YouTube, do not delete my post on the grounds of babbling… and the green stuff is legal everywhere in Canada now (thanks for that gift also, Justin), so, there's that. I'm completely in the black here! Plus, it took me a good 20 minutes, at least, to write this! Keepsie's please!
Hiiiiiiiii❤
You're my forever Prime Minister.
Thank you❤
EXCELLENT!
I feel so bad for her….she really does not realize what her father has done to this country!
Wow has she ever grown up. What a lovely girl. Thank you for a beautiful speech.
Disturbing how she is dressed for a young teen!
I salute pm Justin for he has done to his country that makes me proud to be here in canada ..that’s why this is one of my dream country to live and to be a Canadian watching the whole speech I made to realise that he did a great job most especially his policies child care benefits etc ….and the new leader mark is I think he will also ba good leader based from his back ground ..
¿Did he need his daughter?
I think it was inappropriate. 😢
We love you. You will be our female PM one day.
No one can fulfill your father's position.
We all proud of him. The way he handled all crisis time. It is what it is.
Fellow Canadians, take a second to think how this lovely moment was received in Canada.
Put aside any political thoughts and look again at the people in the room.
Compare the scene to any Maga rally and see how truly different our country is. And how fortunate we are.
And we fiercely we will defend our country.
Ella Grace lovely natural young lady, it was important to her to help her dad have to leave the way he did, by pointing out how she & her brothers are looking foreward to being able to spending more time with him. This was so genuine nothing like the big over done productions in US Trump puts on.
So it ll remain family business to become pm in canada
Beautiful
I often think of those dirty stickers that I won't repeat but most people know about. This affects his children.
God Bless Prime Minister Trudeau and his family…..thank you. Pray you and your family is always blessed 🙌 with everything good today and always 🙏 ❤️
Their family deserves a taxpayer funded permanent relocation to the tropical fatherland of Cuba for some sunny ways far far away.
Well said 👍♥️
Well said 👍♥️
Are we looking at the first female Prime Minister of Canada?
Trudeau spent all his years in the cottage wiping his backside with our hard earned dollars, destroying the country. "We're taking him back"? He was never there for Canadians in the first place. Our home and rent prices, cost of living, and crime tripled or worse because of his recklessness.
Wow. What a heartfelt message by this young lady. I am sure she made her Dad feel as proud as any father could or would wish for at this moment in her life, and our countries.❤
carbon tax carney has assumed full control we're all doomed
The only legacy your father is leaving behind is by causing more harm, misery and total destruction to the economy and people of canada. He has successfully completed his mission of destroying a once great country. Never forget and forgive 🇨🇦 Make Canada great again.
Perhaps she could continue her father's legacy, she looks to have the potential to become a great prime minister
2 DAYS OF MELODRAMATIC LIFE THE CREATOR, SENT U ALONE AND U WILL BE ALONE IN MUD, — SO WHY MUCH GREED, KILLING, FOR LAND GRAB POWER GRAB , USING RELIGION , IDEOLOGY AND AGENDA, -DOESNT MATTER UR A COUNTRY OR A PERSON, 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣
She has PM in her future!
Lovely
So damm proud of daddy who was the most incompetent, corrupt smug, wasteful, woke,narcissistic and scandal ridden PM in Canadian history. Daddy's legacy is a 1.3 TRILLION dollar deficit or 10.3 billion per week on debt interest payments alone for taxpayers, seizing bank accounts, WE and SNC Lavelin scandals and the list goes on for miles
What a beautiful soon will be american girl 😂😂😂🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Wonderful person like like her father who shot to global fame by engaging in very productive years of leadership and obviously he is one one of the most charismatic leader among dump, stupid, brutal and atrocious dictators who are doing all kind of subversive activities to topple foreign governments for private interest who pose greatest threats to international peace, security, human development around the world! Salute to her and her father !
A great daughter from a great prime minster. Wish you all the best.
The Trudeaus are so Humble 🫤 …
Entire Liberal Leftists exists in Canada
Of course is not easy to be kid of a narcissist
Poor kid has to live with the fact her "father" destroyed Canada.
The Liberals pause gov't, swap Trudeau for Carney, and rebrand-hoping we forget their failures. They survive on crises: COVID, Trump's tariffs, anything to distract from Canada's record debt racked up under their “leadership” (Among the highest household debt in the G7). Now they sell voting for incompetence as 'patriotic! That's not leadership that's desperation! 🙄
Proud of law breaking, charter violations, financial chaos….sure
This speech sounds much more heartfelt than Kai trump’s. Also the outfit is more appropriate. Way to go!
THANK YOU PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU❤
Somebody’s cutting onions!! And when did she grow up!! Very well articulate young lady!
This is news? Her dad was the most hated pm how about she shut her mug and go with her dad back into irrelevance
Poor little rich girl. Arrest those bad internet bullies! Just like her parents!
She did a great job for such a young lady. Well done!
She is adorable
Maga manners on display in these comments.
