Mr Trudeau thank you ! You are at least a real leader ! I would die for a person like you as a veteran still today

Full disclosure:\nCanada/Trudeau has long enjoyed tariffs on American goods. Trudeau just doesn't like it when US does the same to them. \nDrop all of yours first, Trudeau. Then we'll drop ours.\nTake note, Trudeau. American workers are not your slaves.

I think Trudeau is awesome. He makes trump look like the jack-ass he is.

Petty but I like that Trudeau called him 'Donald'.

Trudeau dumped on his people during Covid. He acted as a dictator, freezing bank accounts, ect.\nZelensky acted a fool in the oval office. The deal was agreed upon, and Zelensky backed out like a flippant child. \nBTW, JUSTIN, if you want to be serious and address the president of America, try saying PRESIDENT TRUMP.

I don’t like Trudeau much and I will very rarely give him credit. But frankly I’ve got no problem with his response. Fact is we are in a performative trade war with the US because their president can only think in terms of TV nonsense.

Trudeau looking and sounding like a statesman…… unlike the Orange Wanka

I realty don’t like Trudeau, but everything he says here is totally true. He’s right. I’m British living in England.

And just why is Trudeau leaving office? Seems like they have a pretty good leader there already.

If Trudeau keeps giving speeches like this he may very well be the next Liberal leader!

Canada might be a friend , but i don't see Trudeau as a friend of USA , more like a bit of a one for China and the globalist nut jobs

100% behind MY president. You lie Trudeau...your scare tactics make me wonder if you got cutoff of $ like the thieving Democrats.

Funny How everyone now likes trudeau . hypocrites

Must be nice for Canadians to have a strong intelligent leader like Trudeau. We now have Trump .. again (WTF). Guess we know which direction the United States is going. Very sad situation.

Trump is the biggest bully in the world. If he was a child he would be reprimanded or undergo counseling. Here is a grown man acting like a bullying child and running rampant creating chaos. He is also selfish and evil.. he also reminds me of Roberto mussolini the dictator of Italy during the second world War. This man cares about nothing than himself. Hooray for Trudeau who is an articulate and eloquent speaker not the bumbling buffoon south of the border.

I don't like Trudeau, but his words here are true.

Why couldn't we have a POTUS like Trudeau ...I am embarrassed to be an American

I just realized that the USA has become like Russia in yet another way: We cannot trust our president's words.\nAlso: That woman behind Trudeau looks genuinely proud.

Very strong and superb speech of Trudeau. Speaking like a true leader not like trump, who speaks like a person who is going through mental disorder and a puppet of Elon, who unfortunately holds a Canadian citizenship. Trump,Elon and Vance are the new Hitler working putin

That was likely one of the best speeches Trudeau has ever made. But he is also right. This is the most crazy Tariff War that makes no sense. It is clear to me that Trump doesn't understand the impact of his actions

What a hypocrite, he also decide to do that to the Canada. Like if he had the upper hand... This guy has to get out!! Trudeau, what a bad person and a liar.. he does exactly what he said.. hypocrite.. this guy is alao desire war over his people...

I applaud our Prime Minister for holding his ground amidst internal turmoils. It only takes a lost, uninformed person and misguided (?) person like Donald Trump, to sabotage the special relations between Canada and the U.S. \nMr. Trudeau, your eloquent speech depicts your patriotism and passion. And yes, these are the wise words of a a mature person who is firing up the patriotism as he leaves the office. Respect !Mr. Trudeau?

As a 60 years old french Canadian I have all the reason to not love Trudeau, because he remind me how his father treated us, never vote for him, but today I saw a men (finally) standing up and take the lead for our country. Yes Canada is still my country and I like the way he directly adress to your president. I have so many American friends on both side( D and R ) and I hope they understand that what he said is not directly apply to United State citizen, wake up America before it s to late.

Tabernac! Trump just made Trudeau look like Winston Churchill. ?

Not even his own country likes him. Trump was overwhelming elected to do this exact thing. Shame on cnn for even covering this. Trudeau is not relevant.

What I don't like is the millionaires that move our jobs out of our country to benefit themselves. My father lost a good manufacturing job because labor was cheaper in some other county. Now look at Boeing. Somehow we need someone that is looking out for US! Trying to bring jobs and industry back to the USA. Trudeau is a terrible leader and I'm happy to see him squirm.

Wow. If Trudeau would have been like this for his entire career, he might have made something. Too late, but good move.

OH JUSTIN YOU ARE SO RIGHT THIS IS VERY PERSONAL YOU MADE FUN OF HIM AND HE IS TAKING REVENGE, BUT PRESIDENT CHUMP OBVIOUSLY CANNOT SEPERATE BUSINESS FROM HIS PERSONAL PROBLEMS, THE WHOLE WORLD DOES NOT LIKE THIS GUY WHEN HIS TERM IN OFFICE IS OVER THE ONLY TWO PLACES THAT HE WOULD BE WELCOME IN IS HIS HOME COUNTRY AND RUSSIA AND I AM NOT SO SURE ABOUT RUSSIA I WROTE ON YOUTUBE BEFORE THAT THIS GUY IS SINKING THE AMERICAN FLEET FAST AND MORE THOROUGHLY THAN THE JAPANESE DID AT PEARL HAROR MAN AT THIS MOMENT THE TWO WORST NATIONALITIES TO BE IS AMERICAN AND RUSSIAN THEY BOTH ARE CAUSING GREAT HARM NOT ONLY TO THE WORLD, BUT MOSTLY TO THEIR OWN PEOPLE AND COUNTRIES TALK ABOUT SELFISH LEADER'S. PRESIDENT CHUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT ONE THING WITH THE LEADER'S WE HAVE NOW IT IS NOT IF WE WILL ENGAGE EACH OTHER IN A WORLD WAR, BUT WHEN THE LEADER'S WE HAVE NOW ARE STEERING THE HUMAN RACE IN THAT DIRECTION AND PRESIDENT CHUMP YOU AND PRESIDENT POUTINE WILL BE CHIEFLY RESPONSIBLE. THE LEADER'S WE HAVE ELECTED TODAY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MOST OF THE MISERY IN THE WORLD TODAY. LEADER'S LIKE PRESIDENT KENNEDY, GHANDI, CHURCHILL ETC. TODAY WE HAVE LEADER'S LIKE TRUDEAU WHO CREATED MISERY AND DIVISION IN CANADA THE FORE MENTIONED LEADER'S ALREADY METIONED ARE DIRECTED BY PERSONAL GREED AND AMBITION AND HYPOCRACY. PRESIDENT ZELINSKY I AM AFFRAID LEADER'S LIKE YOU THAT HAVE COURAGE INTEGRITY AND STRENGHT ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN I AM SORRY TO TELL YOU BUT I THINK IN REALTY YOU STAND ALONE NOT MANY LEADER'S TODAY PUT COUNTRY AND COUNTRYMEN AND WOMEN BEFORE THEIR PERSONAL GREED AND AMBITION, BUT IF YOU SUCCEED YOU WILL BE STRONGER AND FAR BETTER OFF GOD BLESS

Make no mistake, Canada faces an existential threat in Trump. Trump has accomplished the normalization of lies such that he can lie about Canada to justify what he does. And many millions in the USA believe him. just like the victim blaming of Ukraine. Trudeau is right that Trump is intent on weakening us and i would add: along the way creating false pretext for coming in and “saving” us from our tyrannical and dangerous government. validating Russian behaviour where might makes right is part of the process for validating his expansionist goals. He will no doubt claim “nasty” Canadian behaviour like “Canadians are killing Americans by not doing enough on fentanyl” and that Trudeau calling him Donald is “unforgivable”. And all the lies will appeal to his base and justify Annexation. It has come to that

Why can't Trudeau talk like this when it comes to Netanyahu and the rest of the Israeli terrorist thugs?

I THOUGHT HE QUIT????I PRAY CANADACUTS ITS CANCER TRUDEAU OUT,LIKE AMERICANS CANADA HAS CRIMINALS IN GOVERNMENT FROM LONG AGO,ITS A WORLD PROBLEM

This dude is a joke. Canada is like the progressive left. Yesterdays news . And Trudeau don't scare nobody

Trump sounds like a 2yr old compared to Trudeau.

Proud to be a Black Canadian! I don't like Justin Trudeau But I stand with Him!

You never know what is going on behind the curtains! \nMaybe this is all set up by Trump and Trudeau to bring him up again because people started to hate Justin Trudeau! \nJust like the way Trump hired someone to shoot him to his ear to push people to feel bad for him, love and respect him and vote for him after that!!! And... Unfortunately it worked perfectly !\nLet's see what will happen to Justin Trudeau after all of these go away and everything goes back to normal again \nI really don't see any signs of stress on Justin Trudeau's face and skin at all. \nHe is fresh, shiny and happy inside. \nDo you remember his appearance during the pandemic?

I never voted for Trudeau, but it is hard not to admire him after this speech. He makes Trump look just like he is.. an old, ugly, out-of-shape, and very, very stupid fool. The last thing Canada needs right now are bootlicking Conservatives like Pierre Poilievre. And on a final note.. Trudeau was wrong, Donald is NOT a smart man. He is an utter imbecile.

Spoken like a true drug addict. Didn’t he legalize drugs in Canada? Trudeau, you’re as fake as a three dollar bill.

Trudeau aided european leaders and Zelinsky to undermind an end too an unwinable war and kill Americans and steal more US money.HE IS A TRAITOR TO THE USA !! The GDP of Texas Is 2.4 trillion..The GDP of Canada the freeloader RAT state Is 2.1 trillion..BURN ! like those churches godless liberal socalist filth...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gLN3QoN-q8

Sweden here. Wasn't too impressed by Trudeau before. That changed today. He stands up and tells it like it is. That was a GREAT speech. As of today i forgive Canada for the times you beat us in hockey.

Remember Trudeau just like zenkesky failed to remember that it's not Joe in charge anymore someones in there that will not be disrespected an told what when or he was what's going to happen an especially in the position everyone is in America is not going to be a sucker no more an show love to other countries we don't get back no love now let's make if fair across the board an the tarrifs are great us people just want some of there needs an security but we're trillions in debt an no body seems to help or care or even say anything about it an the saddest part of it all is president trumps fault that how stupid people an brainwashed that the left had left on them hate in the there hearts

I'd like to see Trump get into the boxing ring with Trudeau. Mostly I'd like to see the explanations of why he would back down from the invitation to box with Trudeau.

Trudeau is speaking and acting like the statesman he is! His way of speaking on this matter is truly polite and great. He is defending his country and its values! Hopefully there's many more leaders of other countries that will step up and take action against the person that ignorant americans voted into the White House! This will soon blow up in the face of the goverment in the US. Hopefully the blow is tough and hard!

Trudeau makes trump look like a complete idiot, which of course he is. Attacking your neighbour in this way, is completely idiotic and so self defeating. The American public should rise up.

It s blistering and you can t get rid of it. Trudeau is like herpes

Trump likes Canadians, he just doesn't like that weasel Trudeau.... Remember the truckers...

Trudeau trying to act tough is like tinker bell trying raising a fist at you...both are laughable. Notice how he doesn't discuss the Canadian tariffs on American goods prior to Trump? Drop your tariffs and we'll drop ours - deal?

American here. I can't tell you how much I miss having a president that speaks like Trudeau. Instead we have a bunch of 4 year tantrum throwing toddlers. And for anyone that has been in a room full of 4 year tantrum throwers all day you know that is completely exhausting, life draining and all you want to do set them in time-out.

I am glad Trudeau called Trump dumb ?. Indeed, Trump is the dumbest. I wish we had a leader like Trudeau.

Finally Trudeau sounds like a real leader! Mark my words, Trump and Putin are up to something.... time will tell!

Trudeau, now that's a guy who has his shit together. Makes tRump sound like a kindergarter...
