Whatever you think of Trudeau, that was a brilliant speech. Not a rambling rant like comrade dump. Go Canada Go

Now Trudeau is standing strong and yes his country now shows strength. Can’t be our 51st no matter being called a governor! He speaks like a good PM\nWe love and support Canada ??

I am a Canadian and agree with Trump. Working on my citizenship! Tired of conservatives, liberals and democrats!!\n\nJustin Trudeau will fuck this up, like he told Zelenskyy to not take the deal with Trump!\n\nJT is a traitor to Canada… Oops, I mean New India.

Seems like the disgruntled Socialists are now turning to Socialists like Trudeau for comfort and reassurance after the thumping you got in the election. The majority are now the majority and won't pander to the minority.

Trudeau speaks like a real president. As a German, I support the Canadians ?? ??

??? Oh boy. Little Trudeau acting like a tough guy. Canada will come crawling. It's only a matter of time. Mexico? They're screwed too. Just wait and see.

Even though Trudeau is a dűmɓ@$$ this was a good speech. Well done on this. Wish you were like this since the beginning.

Trudeau is not our Friend....we dont like his type...get rid of him/her and tarriffs go away

Puck Trudeau he is going to cave just like Zelensky.

I would like to see every vehicle and every individual crossing into USA from Canada, or crossing into Canada from the USA have to pay a fee. PM Trudeau has spoken well on our behalf. Moving forward - #BoycottUSA. Time to reinvent Canada without the USA.

I'm starting to like this Trudeau guy.

Chapeau Mr Trudeau. Never particularly liked him, but handled the orange man like the jackass he is. This reminds me about Nero, Fire and Rome. One thing it's for sure, like the general said: it's not going to end well.

Beside Trudeau..he is looking like the guy in a prank where he entered into the theatre and there are all goons sitting in theatre

I'm no fan of Trudeau but... Compare this to Trump it's night and day. He looks young and healthy, talks eloquently and is intelligent. But Americans rather prefer an 80 year old obese criminal who paints his face orange and knows like 50 words. It would be funny if this didn't have horrible consequences for the whole world.

Trudeau act and talk like a president that US need.

Crazy to see how relations have broken down between our two countries and sad for all my great American friends and thanks for your support but anyone with half a mind could see this coming. So many Americans, even republican voters, now waking up to the cold reality of a treasonous, mad president allied to a Russian mad man, isolating the US from the rest of the world. He was basically elected to repaire the economy. Ha! Nice going you orange freak. The stock market is crashing like a Trump casino. You bankrupt two casinos and now you are doing the same to America. Oh! and I hope you're listening to Trudeau's speech, this is what a real leader sounds like. CANADA STRONG AND FREE!!!

No one likes Trudeau not even most of his own people go away already you ruined Canada . Get a common sense PRIME minister that can bring back Canada to its glory a respectful SUPPORTER from the U.S.

I don't like Trudeau, but this speech was great. Intelligent when he needed to be, simple when addressing Trump. A strong start to this trade war which as he said, we don't want. I hope along with Ford we hit America where it hurts. Maybe when their groceries skyrocket in price and their trucks are gone they'll really see where their votes went.\n\nI personally can attest I'm no longer buying DOOM: The Dark Ages, or games on Steam for that matter. I cancelled an order I had from Amazon, and I used to buy Reaper Miniatures, which I will no longer be doing. I'm not going to A&W, or any fast-food chain, or restaurant owned by Americans.

I don’t think trump can speak even like Trudeau ever, he speaks like a child !!

Justin Trudeau is a parasite...he caused 86% food inflation, causing millions of Canadians to have to rely on food banks, while Trudeau spent $81k of Canadian taxpayers dollars on groceries for himself this year alone...Trudeau underfunded Canada in relation to NATO, underfunded Canada in relation to NORAD, ticked off Trump by being rude to him in the past so that now Trump launches an economic trade war against Canada cause he just wants to hurt Canada to hurt Trudeau. Yes, Trump is an absolute economic imbecile as this trade war will cause Great Depression 2 in America and Canada (unless he invades which I think he will in some years) but the thing I hate the most about this is that Trump makes Trudeau look like the good guy in all this when Trudeau ruined Canada beforehand...all Trump needed to do was SHUT UP and let the Canadian perpetual liar LEAVE office...now we all pay the price for Trump's hatred of Justin Trudeau :(

Washington State resident USAmerican citizen here. I love my many Canadian friends and neighbors. I will continue to speak and work for truth and justice, against the insane lies and damaging actions promulgated by our president and other horrible, greedy people who are destroying the good in my country. Thanks PM Trudeau, for modeling what a statesman and leader sounds like. DT won’t care, but perhaps some of his supporters here will.

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

And this is why I do not follow CNN. This came up in my feed, and I wanted to hear what Trudeau had to say. And I wanted to hear him speak in French. But no, you booger globs must think that there are no people in America who speak French, and no people in America who would like to hear him speak French. You are part of the problem, CNN. And then to hear this woman say what she says after that talk is just appalling to me. Lady, you are a turncoat. You do not have your ethics and morals in place. Anti-American? Anti-American? Is that what you got from this? Where is your dance cap!? Get it together. My god, what a disgrace, CNN. This is junk media. Infotainment.

Wow, now I am big fan of Trudeau. More leaders should be like this, put that Putin’s broke back agent in his place.

Trudeau the governor of Canada. Don’t be a cry baby, join USA and enjoy benefits like other US states.

Love or hate Trudeau, hearing him speak like that makes me proud to be Canadian. We will ban together, we’ll get through this. #ViveLeCanada

Ok Trudeau, if Canada is implementing a tariff as well does that mean Canadian will also stop paying taxes like Trump is doing in the US?

Trudeau is a parasite and a danger to his country just like Trump is. Who cares what he’s gotta say

The American people hired Trump to do exactly what he’s doing. Tired of being the world’s bank. Trudeau DO NOT LECTURE AMERICANS. You need to address your own citizens. You’ve destroyed Canada. You should resign. You’re a commie. Just like your daddy Castro.

One thing about Justin Trudeau. \nHe's an excellent talker but the worst Prime Minister Canada has ever see.\nDon't be fooled by his nice hair and speech. It's because of Trudeau Canadians are not able to afford housing and taxed to our eyeballs. \nBecause of Trudeau, our drug problems are at rising high like we've never seen before.\nHe does nor respect Canadians although he talks the part yet he pulls the emergency act on the Canadian truckers and froze anyone's bank account that donated to protest against him. A man dressed in sheep clothes but a wolf inside that will do anything to make himself rich and first. Meanwhile single moms are suffering because they just can't make ends meet. \nThank God he has been called to resign from his own party. \nWe need a leader that will be intouch with the everyday Canadian worker. It's not Trudeau.\n❤Canada. God Keep Our Land Gloria's and Free.\nYes We Will Stand On Gard For Thee, because Trudeau didn't.

Canadians are racist. They don't like Black Americans. Trudeau is a goofy like the rest of the Canadians, especially Drake. ? They not like us. ?

Brilliant speech by Trudeau?. One of his best speeches ever. A classic. If other leaders called out Trump like this, maybe that would stop him!

Very nice speech Mr. Trudeau! \nI'm proud to have cousins like you! \nFrance (and Europe) with you! \nAmerican citizens need to realize the reality!

Justin, SHAME ON YOU, TRUDEAU!! Sooo DISRESPECTFUL!!! \nDo you know or not? Are you aware that the Canadians don’t like you???

There's a trade deficit with Canada.....if you actually think US will be worse in the long run compared to Canada, you would not go on TV like this Trudeau. You would just tariff

Respect for Canada from the USA. We don’t agree with this madness that’s been unleashed. We could use a leader like Trudeau in the USA! May God help us all.

Good for Trudeau. Trudeau is telling it like it is. It is about time someone stood up

Anti-Semitic Jew hater Trudeau has his work cut out for him. Trudeau will likely find some way to blame the Jews for the tariff problems.

The only way to deal with a Bully is to stand up to him just like Zelensky is doing in Ukraine, Trudeau is doing the same with the orange Mussolini. Go Canada ??

As a stressed out American over this dumpster fire, I wish we had someone like Trudeau leading us

Mr Trudeau makes the 47th [insert name here] look like a rank amateur.

Man ! so refreshing to have a leader that doesn't get up on the podium and name call or throw tantrums. It feels like what politics is actually supposed to be: Civil and cordial. THANKYOU Trudeau !

Trudeau said something every America needs to listen to trump wants to become a dictator like putin and control all Americans ?

Two Brits here, my husband & I wish we had leadership like this at home! So impressed with Trudeau - calm, clear & logical! So disappointed he won't be at the helm for much longer - hope and pray the strong stance will be maintained in the weeks / months to come!

This is what a leader looks like, Trump! Trudeau, THANK YOU!

We don't need your products Trudeau. You have been charging tariffs on our products for years. So don't act like this is knew. ?

Sorry but I disagree with Trudeau. The word Smart is never associated with Trump. Only words like stupid, dumb, bully, racist and narcissistic described him.

Why can't we in the USA attract a President like Trudeau? Trump has compromised our national security. ??? ??

Sad to see a statesman like Trudeau having to appease a spoilt narcissistic thug - but overall a great response by Canada

Please explain to Governor Trudeau, of Canada, that when he puts on a Retaliatory Tariff on the U.S., our Reciprocal Tariff will immediately increase by a like amount!
