Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Speaks at Brown University
Trudeau said tariffs and health care show how the United States and Canada can still find common ground in a strained relationship.
- On Tuesday, Sept. 22, 2026, former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau delivered the Ogden Memorial Lecture at Brown University to over 2,000 attendees, addressing international affairs and the evolving global landscape.
- President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canadian aluminum and softwood lumber hurt American consumers, Trudeau argued, warning that fighting with a key ally creates a "lose-lose" outcome between countries.
- Trudeau defended Canada's universal healthcare system against criticism, asking the audience, "How does someone who doesn't have health coverage in the United States feel about wait times?" The question drew applause.
- Contrasting national approaches to diversity, Trudeau described the United States as a "melting pot" and Canada as a "mosaic," stating democracies only succeed when people find common ground with different views.
- Trudeau served over nine years as prime minister before resigning in 2025, succeeded by Liberal Mark Carney, leaving a legacy marked by a national $10-a-day childcare program and climate policies.
