Simple, to the point, factual, and brilliant speech. What the US is doing is starting a fight with the best neighbor you can possibly have, a neighbor who has always supported you. Trump is like Cesar setting fire in Rome.

What a speech!❤❤❤\nSo proud of our handsome, intelligent Mr. Trudeau!\nThank everyone who supports Canada, thank you for all comments!\nDear American neighbours we love you, but we love and stand united for our beloved Canada??????

Texan and Cold War veteran here. Canada has fought beside us in every major conflict and a number of small ones as well and has always been a good friend to the American people. I will do everything I can to support Canada and Ukraine and any other ally our current dis-administration attempts to bully. \n\nExcellent speech Mr. Prime Minister, you are what leadership and integrity look like and Canadians can be proud to call you their own. You are polite, we are not. You are loyal, we are not. You have guts, we currently do not. God keep your land glorious and free!

Epically excellent speech!\n\nHere's the best potential peace plan / karmic property deal that I can suggest: \n\nThe US as the 87th (trans Atlantic) district of the Soviet Union in exchange for the election victory and get-out-of-jail ticket etc. already delivered, perhaps?\n\nAt least stop Donald-Musk-Vance'theknob'and Yarvin polluting our global airwaves with BS. \n\nAre they a truest representation of the dumbestness of the US. Is this what Yanks want? Just saying - (as an Irish girl in Vietnam).

Sorry Canada for the idiocy of our @$$ hole president. I agree with Trudeau's speech, but sadly he doesn't realize he is talking reasonably to a man who is a psychopath and does not care about what is right. He is trying to become a dictator and has no sense of reason

It’s funny to me how one speak can eradicate a whole track record of nonsense and stupidity! But I guess you get what you deserve! Not talking about the content of the speech but you are fooled too easily

What a brilliant speech by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. ❤

What I wouldn't give to have a leader even half as good as Prime Minister Trudeau currently heading my shitshow of a country as opposed to its malignant, selfish buffoon of a president to whom this speech is directed.

What a speech! And no teleprompter. This man has a brain, unlike others so called ' political figures '.\n❤\nGlad CNN didn't cut him (at least the English part.)

Soo good. Not even Canadian, but boy what a speech.

what a clear articulate speech what a speaker no lies no bullying no dictating. The American people were duped in their voting and now they will suffer.

Most of us find Trump disgusting and love Canada. You have to protect your people. What a firm, yet eloquent speech. I hate to see how Trump is treating everyone. He is not smart or nice.

What a fantastic, brave speech! ? Polish-Canadian from Ottawa

I wish to side track just slightly from this videos content. This individual who calls himself the PM of Canada is nothing short of a criminal. You're listening to a child pretending to be an adult. Trudeau is the reason that freedom is vanishing from Canada. He openly admires the Communist system of China (social credit system). He has destroyed the economy of Canada all by himself. He is desperate to destroy freedom of speech and punishes all who oppose him. Please remember what Trudeau did to Canadians during the PEACEFUL trucker protest in Ottawa. He froze bank accounts for Canadians who stood by the truckers. He inposed some of the harshest lockdown measures in the world during the pandemic and he abolutely HATES democracy. Have you forgotten his blackface scandal as well? This is the face of an absolute TYRANT pretending to be a crusader for fairness. Don't forget his total ripping during the UN speech he gave about 2 years ago when foreign UN representatives tore into him for his open tyranny against Canadians. His security thugs have assulted journalists simply for asking him honest questions about the Canadian economy and now you are swayed by a suit wearing mobster. He protects terrorists across Canada while simultaneously arresting Canadians for demanding their freedom to be restored. This guy is a THUG in an expensive suit and nothing more. It's nausiating to see how quickly people forget and how easily they are swayed by a bandit in an expensive suit. WAKE UP. Trudeau is the face of evil and you admire him. Nausiating.

What a terrific speech. Trump is a Russian agent and should be impeached

As an english person what a sincere and intelligent speech - something that trump would never ever be able to make

What a super speech; kudos Justin.

Not a fan of what Trudeau has done to my country over his time in office but credit where credit is due; that speech was articulate, factual and tactful. Well said Mr. Trudeau.

Mr Trudeau is extraordinarily soft, soft as feathers, it really amazes me that Canada and Mexico rush the all month of Jan and Feb to captures felons to avoid tariffs, very poor speech. He claims that he is doing it to protect the people from Canada the real question is why you didn’t do it before.\nClaudia Sheinbaum also rushing to capture the bad guys, when clearly Trump is offering help to capture the corrupt politicians and cartel lords but No, instead she delivers 29 guys that were already captured and been in jail for years… What it’s this ? It’s like ordering a Ribeye steak and getting a pizza. Come on !!

First: sorry for my bad english. It is not my First language. \n\nThis speech was remarkable. No lies, no BS, just the facts. Wish we would here the same out of the White House. \n\nAs a german who knows about german history and how everything started back then I'm terrified how fast the United States of America are moving towards a dictatorship.\n\nEvery politician around the free world should be worried about what is going to happen if DT keeps doing what he is doing, which is undermining every treaty and contract the US is having with the rest of the world.\n\nAnd on a personal note: as a child I always dreamed of someday moving to the USA. After beeing there on holiday in 2017 and also driving to Canada to visit some friends, that dream changed.\n\nDon't get me wrong, I still love your country, but you elected the worst President for the second time! WHY??? You could have known what it would be like, everything was reported on by this network and many others.\n\nAs one commentator said: this is not going to end well. And I and most of Europe and the rest of the world are thinking the same and we are afraid of the things to come.

This is leadership, devoid of self-interest, bigotry, cowardice, or division. It is hard to be misrepresented by “Donald”, who is desecrating what it means to be an American. Prime Minister Trudeau’s speech is inspirational and would fill me with fighting spirit if I were a Canadian. “Donald” contributed the divisions in our country and now he is isolating us from our allies. As Americans, we are stuck in a relationship with an over narcissist. Being American stays alive in every one of us who upholds the ideals of our country. A president is a civil servant, so he is our employee. He does not behave like an employee and as such, he should be fired. It is what “Donald” would do. ??‍♂️

Anti-Americanism? Seriously? That is NOT what he said. Did you listen to any part of his speech at all? The English version, not the French one. Although if you'd listened to the French version, it would better explain why you are misrepresenting what he actually said. You might have misunderstood a large portion of it.

As an American, Trudeau, as he mentioned in his speech, is no friend of mine. These tariffs aren't going to hurt me any more than the last 4 years in america has under democrat leadership. I lost family to fentanyl, I lost my job due to terrible democrat economic policies. I lost my home. I lost my savings. I lost all hope of ever owning a home. Im losing my mother to what I am sure was the jab. I've got nothing left to take. Tariffs aren't going to hurt me. Liberal policies, from people just like Trudeau, have destroyed my life. I want to see him in ruins.\n\nI feel for the citizens of Canada. I don't care what liberal news media says- I know that Canadian people want him gone too.

What a speech. So refreshing to hear a leader speaking and addressing the President and the American people. All Canadian should be proud. Go ?? Canada John NZ\nJ

THIS IS A LEADER! This is how a leader should speak. Without an ounce of arrogance but full of factful compassion. Truth be told, Mr Trudeau is one of my favourite leaders of a country. He may have issues, but which leader doesn't right. Look at what Trump is doing now. Great speech, Sir. I feel so proud of ??.

Please keep in mind, that all the issues we have in Canada are because of Trudeau. He's been in power for almost a decade. The widespread drug abuse and crime is because of him being weak on policy and handing out drugs like candy paid by tax payers. More people died from fentanyl in Canada than our soldiers in WWII. That is all on his watch. He is only making these changes because of Trump. What kind of a leader is Trudeau to only become Canada first when a person from outside the country threatens him? He is a horrible leader and a traitor to the Citizens and the Country we call Canada. Regardless of what his speech is, he cannot be trusted with his globalist agenda. He has stepped down (thank goodness!!) and Canada is looking forward to having Pierre Poilievre as our PM.

Great job representing our awesome country. This is a terrible time for Trudeau to step down. Right now he has the respect of all other counties. What am amazing speech.

What an amazing speech. Canada, be proud and don't let him go. With love from the UK. perhaps the American folks should let America become a new province of Canada because the American people deserve to be treated better than thier president is currently treating them. I encourage everyone to not look bad upon the American people, its not thier fault. Long may you fly the maple leaf ?

Not even canadian but damn what a speech, I've heard that some of his domestic policies are not very popular but the way he asserts himself against Donald Dipshit is admirable

Wow the United States got what they got because they voted stupidity, hatred, bigotry, racism,no experience, felonies, just to name a few?compared to these two men from Canada and Ukraine ?? who can read, speech different languages, have compassion, have experience, intelligence with integrity… WOW JUST BECAUSE AMERICANS DIDN’T WANT A AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN…who has everything thing in her fingernail that lil Donnie will never have? United States got a “good white boy”who happens to sleep with Satan???

Its very annoying to have a journalist repeat what trudeau has already said, forcing us to miss the Q&A section^ \nThat said, WOW, trudeau has won my respect bigtime. This was prob the best speech ive ever heard from 'mr. nice guy' So very glad he spoke clearly and precisely to the usa public, he is and has done everything correctly

I am just sitting here wondering to myself if the MAGA cult can make any sense or understand what Trudeau Just said they would not be accustom to listening to an intelligent man making a coherent intelligent speech Maybe they need more time

Trump is a horrible, horrible human. I am devastated over what he is doing. I've never once given Trump my vote and I'm not a lefty liberal. I knew if he was voted in he was going to cause world wide chaos. He has shown his character over and over and over...yet a large portion of American's just ignored it. This election wasn't about republicans or democrats or independents. This election was about humanity and global security. American's ignored the writing on the wall for their own singular wants/opinions. They stand with their Trump flags but only a few of them can actually explain any accurate information about his policy or legal issues and they condone his behavior. The majority of Trumpers claim to be 'Christians'. Christians voting for a man who is a bully, abuser, liar, predator, monger of power, impedes freedom of press and speech and aligns himself with a dictator. He pardoned violent offenders and called them patriotic, spouts false information, obstructs investigations, has numerous felony charges against him and has now made enemies with our allies. Shall I go on? That's not Christian. Even if you aren't Christian...that's not what America stands for. All for what...eggs? Guns? Cheaper groceries? Or because your need for hating a small group of people out weighs global peace. Or is it because you are so short sighted that you can't even see the valuable contribution that non American born people provide this country. Yes, Biden fell asleep at the wheel. Yet many of you still believed the better choice was a psychopath. This election was important. We failed as a country by putting this man in office. No matter what party you align with, we failed. Yes, I want cheaper eggs. Yes, I really need cheaper groceries. But not over the safety of the globe. Not over the lives of the people and children being killed in an unprovoked war. Not over the safety of Europe. Not over ripping off our closest and favorite country that borders us. Not over losing our democracy and our allies. I stand with Ukraine, Canada, Mexico and Europe and the Gulf of Mexico. You should ask yourself what you really stand for.

From the UK, standing with Canada. (And I really hope you put a 100% tariff on Tesla products.). Great, clear speech with coherent sentences and no hyperbole. Great speech. And if Canada is willing to do this, what will China do?

Not a fan of Trudeau but that was a great speech, and I am proud of what he did. He's earned my respect for siure.

I am a proud Canadian of Justin Trudeau ! The speech is direct, says what is to be said with absolute no ambiguity ! Buy Canadian from now on Donald !

A pity this man is about to leave office. What a clear speech!

What a leader you are Trudeau! What a fantastic speech! From The Netherlands ????

I’m Canadian. My family have always been Liberals but I’m not much of a Trudeau fan myself. For today, it doesn’t matter whether you like the man or not, Trudeau deserves a standing ovation for his speech and the actions he is taking. That’s what a leader of a country should sound like and react like. It’s going to be a tough road ahead for us but together we will pull through this. Stay strong my fellow Canadians, we got this. ❤

wow al the delusional people on here amazing .Trump wants the tariffs to pay so americans dont have to pay taxes thats smart we should do the same and has everyone forgot that tirdeau doesnt like free speech .he is on the epstein list and his sister is tied to the picktin farm .and the war on drugs is a joke .it is worse than ever. proof is in the pudding people .trudeau is the enemy just like biden and all those like him wake up canadians .tirdeau funds hamas they are terrorists and war mongers .how terrible Trump wants world peace so does anyone with half a brain.im with trump. he is doing what many should have long ago .we need Trump here too

What a dirty speech..you can hear the green vom1t he has eaten before he gave this. Someone exorcise him.

An American here. What a great speech by your prime minister! We love Canadians. You folks are the best. And this will pass too!

What a stark difference in leaders! This was such an eloquent speech!

What a brilliant speech. No shouting, no humiliation, facts and a clear plan of action. Dignity and strength expressed calm, precise and civilised. My highest respect for Mr Trudeau and Canada!

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!!!

I listened PM Trudeau speech more than 3×. What a great leader Canada has ?? ❤( probably the politest country on our planet)

What a speech from a dignified leader! Take note Donald.

That's what a leader should sound like America. He used smaller words when he directed his speech to trump ?

Hey Mr Trudeau, for your speech to be most effective, please repeat at least ten times, that the republicans are imposing a stiff NEW TAX on Americans. Americans don’t know what a tariff is. It is a TAX and Americans are allergic to that word. Call it a TAX, again and again if you want Americans to dislike it.

I'm so proud of our Prime Minister what an intelligent speech. Now this what a true leader should be.
