Justin Trudeau's full commencement speech to NYU graduates

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau delivered a commencement speech at the ceremony for New York University graduates at Yankee Stadium. The Canadian prime minister urged graduates to challenge their own views, and the views of others, by always keeping an open mind instead of "cocooning" in an intellectual bubble.

What I don't understand is why he isn't at Canadian universities congratulating Canadians in Canada instead of congratulating Canadians at NYU along with everyone else. I also loved... how he said NY is one of the best cities on the whole world way to be patriotic to Canada Trudeau. Good luck in the federal election....

So we should be culturally accepting of the values of the remaining tribes of Papua New Guinea that still practice cannibalism? Or of the Hindu "holy men" filmed on CNN who shared a meal of human brain with a reporter in their native India?

[dancane]

Who made him pm??? I would never vote his party again in my entire life.

[langleyj]

And he doesn’t even have a Masters degree.

So when you are respecting the opinion of others, will you be open to allowing pro life groups some summer jobs grants?

Trudoh forgot to ask what pronoun they want to be called

Having an open mind is never bad advice. Being unbiased, and understanding all perspectives is also good advice. Allowing yourself to think freely, and without constraint to any dogma, culture, or tradition is also good advice.
Not allowing yourself to be frightened by the world, and it's people... as fear compromises clear, critical thought, is also very good advice.

Why is the Canadian PM wasting time speaking to students of an American institution?

[Michael-pcbo]

I hope he enjoys his time in office. His Chances of re-election are slim and his left wing ideas are for the most part hated by Canadians.

Trudeau spent a LONG time preparing for this speech as there are no stutters

[joebloe]

Wrong country. Your duty is to us, the Canadian people.

[AlanaBananaCanada]

I will be voting for the first time in my life in 2019 and hint.. It WONT be for Trudeau.

[dancane]

I am not impressed by him, he likes to waste time around,

[FMHammyJ]

Washington Post said it a cloistered poseur" I wonder how long it will take the CBC to close comments on the Dauphin's speech.

[hahayoursofunny]

Why is he there..Yo Trudeau you are the pm for Canada not US

[sandraclark]

Man....does Trudeau love to hear himself speak....He's his own little Pep rally, isn't he? What his speech is about is nothing like how he acts towards Canadians. Trudeau is so full of himself.

No Words Can Destroy His Arrogance And Despise For Human Life.

[lumberdog]

Trudeau sure loves to play Mr. dressup

Why would they have Canada's buffoon deliver a commencement speech? Take a look at what is happening in European countries that have welcomed those from the Middle East. Car bombings, vehicles as weapons, indiscriminate killing. Ask them about diversity. Where would Trudeau be without inherited money? He is an imbecile that thinks the "budget will balance itself." NYU can't be very smart if they had this clueless clown.
