Trudeau hasn’t been good for Canada, virtue signaling like usual instead of going to the toot of the problems, same guy that put protesters in jail and froze bank accounts of the innocent.

Not a fan of Trudeau, but excellent speech..even made me feel like voting for him.

Mos Def PM Trudeau laid the Law down with the facts,... something Trump can never get his dumbas_s head around. Laid it down in spades!!! Way ta be, Justin. Proud of you for gettin' yer hands dirty and accepting no BS. Suck it, Trump.... you just added another nail in the shit show coffin for all the American people you are supposed to promote, care abou.t, and make their lives better. Trump you just conned all Americans; good job dip shit. The only trouble with the honorable promises made by Trudeau.... if somehow we end up with a dud like Polievre.... Polievre has stated he would never have helped Canadians out like Trudeau did during the pandemic, and several other statements Polievre has made, signal an uncaring, out of touch, and dangerous to Canadians, politician without a plan.

Trudeau is acting like he did anything but all he did was screw his countrymen. Also ur exports keep em an we will keep ours. Because let's be honest it's only help on the bridge it's not helping us Americans or Canadian working-class people

please could every politician behave like Trudeau? I am so sick of Trump and his followers all over the world...

i liked trudeau a lot in this speech, after months and months of disliking hearing his voice this was very refreshing.. Well done Justin!

If Trudeau had been more like this a decade ago, perhaps Canadians wouldn't hate his guts so much today....

This is HEARTBREAKING, because Trudeau is speaking to EVERYONE like a leader SHOULD!!! He left NO doubt how much he cares about his fellow citizens, and that their government will help them as much as they can!! \nThis is what AMERICANS dream about, a leader that cares about us!!! We wish and pray that our leader looked and spoke like that!!! \nCANADA is showing the WORLD what TRUE LEADERSHIP LOOKS LIKE!!! It's HEARTBREAKING for ALL the Canadian and American people that are gonna feel the pain, and NOT the BILLIONAIRES that are INTENTIONALLY hurting ALL Americans. \n\nI had a tear in my eye, because of the overwhelming pride I had for Canada and Trudeau!! \nAmericans are hanging their heads in embarrassment!!! \nGo Canada!!????\nGo Ukraine!!????

If you can’t take the heat in the kitchen get out Trudeau boi. Get out of office and get a real job like everyone else. Or you could just go back to Cuba and see your dad.

Go Canada! I wish America had an intelligent leader like Trudeau!

I see a lot of traitors in here in the comment section praising Trudeau and siding with Canada. I am neither American nor Canadian but in times like this you should stand with your fellow countryman.

Real Americans hear you and are with you 100%, Mr. Trudeau. Real Americans stand with Canada, Europe, and free liberal democracy, not Putin loving wannabe tyrants like Tump.

So the dictator Trudeau is suddly careing about his country? It is almost like he is going to get called out on his lies next ? these tarrifs will hurt CANADA not the US ?

The reason is so juvenile. DT doesn’t like Trudeau personally because he said things about him that bruised his ego. He’s not that smart.

Nice job Trudeau!, I have not always liked what he has done but he is showing that he can stand up for us when we need.

For all the crap Canadians were talking about Trudeau, as a Canadian I’m so proud to have a leader like him for our country. And I think most Canadian’s have now changed their mind about him

Dont like Trudeau but I have to say, great last speech. Trump is such a liar about fentanol from Canada. Good luck USA, you are in for one hell of a ride !

Americans may dream of an intelligent, well-spoken president like Trudeau. Instead, they only get a sick, childish narcissist called Donald.

LMAO, Trudeau talking to us Americans like we have a say. WTF are we gonna do? Drag the Repubs out of the White House? No thanks. I appreciate having living quarters outside of Gitmo. These assholes need to just keep having a go at each other and leave us the fuck out of it. It's their show anyway. None of them ever follow our will. If they did, we wouldn't have charter schools and public schools wouldn't have been an absolute joke before Trump started trying to shut it down.

I’m American and I wish we had a leader like Trudeau. To all the MAGA idiots that voted for Trump, thanks for ruining our country. It only took 6 weeks.

Trudeau is a total fraud and a liar, just like the rest of the democrat party.

CNN thx for leaving comments ON. Now now, Trudeau isn't liked much by his own ppl. He wants to look tough by replying with more tarrifs of his own and hurting his own people. While trying to say US is bad yet doing the very same thing while saying he didn't have a choice when he did. He's a liar. Now its fine if he wants to place tarrifs, he's free to do whatever. But ppl already chose a conservative leader, and i think if he plays ball with Trump, Canada will have lots to win.

Leaders like Trudeau gives me hope that the madness of Trump and his gang will not prevail...

Never get a boy to do a man's job especially a narcissistic drama queen like Trudeau...loves WEF and Soros globalist plan for 4th Reich apparently ! More money to Zelensky who can't account for $69 billion dollars from America ? Zelensky's wife spends 10's of millions on shopping spree buys a $6.4 million dollar Bugatti and a $1.2 million dollar necklace while begging for money ? NUTS

Trudeau you sound like a baby why don’t you just take it like a man and grow your internal and external economy and stop crying and or kissing ass

I gotta say that I'm not a liberal nor have I been a particular fan of Justin Trudeau... but today (and for the last few weeks) I've been quite impressed by my Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau. This Canadian supports a vast and vicious trade war against the United States. I do not have any hatred for the American people but I do have nothing but contempt for Trump and his band of traitorous scum! I wouldn't have dreamed that our closest friend and ally could be siding with an enemy proclaimed (Russia) against democratic nations. Trump represents an existential threat to democracy everywhere and must be put down by the American people like a rabid dog!

As a Canadian, love or hate Justin Trudeau (I don't even like him as a centre left person), this may be one of his best speeches. Proud to be Canadian and happy to see support from our friends across the border! ??

PM Trudeau: I am sorry to put you in this position. You have a clear understanding however, that it is only donald trump bringing on these hideous actions, not American citizens. Let’s hope our Congress can muster up the courage, like yours, to get donald gone from the Oval.

I wish our President was like Trudeau!

He is working like a true Demonrat. They lie blame for his own doing. Where was your friendship Trudeau when your corrupt friend Biden inflated the Americans people? You didn't want to meet with Mr. Trump (who you say is your friend) to make fair and balanced trade. That seems like a one-sided friendship and we are about COMMON SENSE. Trudeau, you are putting Americans and Canadians through this because you don't want to see that Mr. Trump just wants fairness and for some reason you want tariff wars. That's the truth and you need to start speaking truth and quit misleading people with lies! That's why the democrats have been defeated because they are corrupt and they lie to the people.

Why is there such an imbalance of payments between so called friendly countries. You may not like what Trump is trying to do, balance the offset, but you did set up the imbalance in the first place so this is karma. Trudeau was out before this started so he knows he will not have to sort the mess out he is now creating.

wow, Trudeau's speech is like a war speech: so powerful, so clear, intelligent, sharp, coherent, brave. Can he maybe become the president of the USA and bring Canada & the USA under one flag? No need for mr orange anymore to babble & threaten to annex Canada.

Let's not forget how Trudeau and his party ruined our country in the last 4-8 years... It's like Canadians are already forgetting that and are praising him? Sure I get these steps against tariffs are in the right direction but this man still sickens me. Canada is not the same because of him and the liberal party. It's time for change.

Trudeau did Canada Proud, trump looks more and more like the LOOSER he is!

That woman who said Trudeau will be out in a couple of days is so tone deaf, like does she live under a rock?

I think Trudeau touched on what the actual plan is. It sounds like the whole plan was to weaken the Canadian economy to allow American billionaires to buy up Canada through the stock market They want to claim ownership of Canada's resources the same they have done to us.

I see a LOT of emotions here in the comments from people who like to tout where they're from for some really weird reason. I imagine to represent the soap box they stand upon. I find it ironic people are giving underhanded insults to Donald Trump by comparing how Trudeau speaks, yet I can almost guarantee those same people brag about how they refuse to listen to a word Donald Trump says. So its a really silly way to try to insult someone. Also just checked some of my stocks daily returns. Up over 2%. So he was wrong within the first 10 minutes. I suspect the market will become more bullish as some of the companies that have made deals to create factories in the US complete them and start churning out products made locally.

So sick how he talks down to the Americans like he's our kindergarten teacher. Bye Gov. Trudeau. Go retire.

Wow! I have great respect for all the countries coming together as a whole. It's a shame we have such a lousy worthless President. By the way did you MAGA nut jobs hear what a real leader sounds like, it's Trudeau not your lunatic President you voted for. Trump would rather destroy his own country instead of bring it together. That's dictatorship not a great leader. We need to get rid of him before this gets worse or it's too late and he refuses to leave.

I am an American. I completely agree with PM Trudeau. I don't want this either. Imo Trump Should be brought up for TREASON. I don't like what has been happening to America. I would rather be in Canada!! Blessings to you. \n?????

Trudeau‘s response doesn’t look anything like somebody that wants to work with us. He just turned a tariff that was aimed at creating some equality behind our trades into a trade war not Trump we will own Canada soon enough now because of Trudeau’s terrible response

It's such a whiplash to see a well educated, thoughtful leader like Justin Trudeau speak ... then Trump who is a blubbering baby who can't string a fully coherent sentence together to save his life.

From Oklahoma, so many here support you Canada and Trudeau and also Zelenskyy! I know it doesn’t seem like it but there is indeed a big community here that isn’t brainwashed ?

Only trump can make me like Trudeau

Don't get me wrong: This is sick and sad at the same time! Stand strong, Canada! Europe stands with you! Maybe we Europeans are going to import a lot more goods from you now, because Europe already plans to import much less from the... whatever is left over of the USA. But does Trudeau in this speech somehow sound like Dr. Breen in Half-Life 2 on the screens in City 17? ^^

Trump just made Trudeau just made Canada look like an ANGEL and the U.S. like DEVILS!! Well done!!!????

Like the vast majority of Americans, may you know that my husband and I feel the same way as you, Prime Minister Trudeau! We are appalled and disgusted with the catastrophic damage that our government is causing to our dear allies, and it grieves us deeply that Putin is being treated with respect while we are literally stabbing our loyal, long-standing allies in the back. I have no words to convey our absolute horror in the face of such disrespectful, disgusting, and dangerous behavior! Our sincere apologies, and may God have mercy on all those souls who have already paid the highest price for these selfish, power - driven decisions!

I'm no admirer of Trudeau, but this was a great speech. (Can you imagine Donnie making a coherent speech like this? ?) but I disagree with him on one thing: Donnie is NOT a very smart guy. (Although I know why Trudeau felt he had to say that).

What a clown. Look at the clown parade praising him. Canadians dont even like Trudeau!! ?. Look at the libs praising him here ????

We must stand up for ourselves against the bully like Trump. I hope to see other world leaders to do the same thing like Canadian PM Trudeau. As he points out loud and clear that Trump hurts Americans!!!!
