What a magnificent speech!

good speech - Pray the drug flow ends soon and the tariffs

Great speech!

Love this speech, pure honesty.

Trudeau, Sir well said. Our Government wishes to hurt us. And you broke down what you have been doing. Your speech is well understood and delivered. Our pockets here in America is already strained, we don’t need this tariff. ??

Bravo Monsieur Trudeau. Très beau speech

I was questioning PM Trudeau for his foreign relationships and dealing with Khalistan separatists and straining Canada's relationship with India. But this speech changed that perception. I like how he addresses the very issue. Crystal clear and a very matured leader I would now change my position about him. This trade war will really hurt both sides. It may help govt as businesses will pay more on sales taxes. But it will ultimately hurt the consumers, especially middle and low income folks on both sides of the border a big way. There are so many problems to solve in USA and he focused on this.

CNN is bending the knee to Trump turning its back on freedom of speech and the American people. Nobody is standing up for us not even the DOJ. It is up to us, the people…

Your a puppet for china and soros everyone know that. Your on your way out ! You e been stealing from us for years hurting your own people. Its a good thing you have a good speech writer . We shall see whos stonger in the end you lying trator to your own country. Youve sat and let drugs and illegals invade our boarders for years you worthless piece of **** .How dare you speak to Trump like you have a right to your sickening. Your ready to release what ever it is you have to betray your people and Americans to further your own sale out agenda your an evil coward .

Thank you prime minister for such amazing speech , to fight for all canadians and the world ! So proud to be Canadian !!!

Superb speech. And a clear casus belli for Trump. If the US economy is down significantly, he'll blame Canada, arguing that you've put unfair tariffs on the US with the specific purpose of hurting them (which is undeniable!) and it's Anschluss time, baby. Never underestimate how crazy he is.

As an American, Canada stand proud. This was an amazing speech.

An excellent speech, truthful, powerful and to the point. As for the fentynol, well, not matter what you do, and no matter how much you spend, the CIA will still find a way to sneak it into the States just like they did with the cocaine epidemic THEY started in the 80s.

What an incredible speech by Trudeau! He spelled the situation out very clearly! I am not a Canadian or an American, but I found the speech very moving.

What a difference. A fantastic articulate speech from Trudeau, and pathetic childish commentary from that buffoon Trump.

Brilliant speech

Fantastic speech! Great committed leadership from PM Trudeau! You're so lucky to have a grown up in charge who's loyal to Canada and not Russia. Love from South Africa.

Great speech. But why did he not speak into the camera? Would have been more powerful.

Another awsome speech from Prime Minister Trudeau. A great leader for the past 8 years did the best to run a Country through Covid 19 and many other challenges. I am Proud of being a Canadian. ??

I see a lot of Canadiens, Ive never met a polite one, mostly I see rudeness and arrogance. Just like I saw in this speech.

Can we just appreciate that he either memorized the entire speech or he‘s a natural talent at speaking.

A clear, rational, thoughtful speech. I miss those days...

If not Fetanyl , did you ever said *Thank you? Joking , Great speech, stay strong Canada, from Eu.

Trump's tariffs against Canada are arguably ill-conceived. But it doesn't change the fact that Trudeau is Canada's plague. Cute speech though. Self-righteous and rife with hypocrisy ? \n\nLove to the Canadians ?? from an American ?? who voted Trump

Now this is how an intelligent and reasonable leader gives a speech! I know Trump doesn't understand how tariffs work, but how can other Republicans in Congress agree to starting trade wars with our closest allies? Russia and China probably can't believe their good fortune. Trade wars with your allies, Trump crapping on NATO and then hanging Ukraine out to dry. How is this allowed to happen? Things are going to get much, much worse.

Wooow, what a clear speech and action. Sadly, Trump is severely mentally ill, as 70 psychiatrists have warned since 2017 continuously. Moreover, Trump is a gangster like, who surrounded him with nuts alike. More moreover, he jumped into Putin's criminal boat. What a president voted Americans... Russia put a president in America, the Nobel Prize for mental illness is spreading around the World goes to the Kremlin. Eternal shame for those who voted Trump. WW3 is closer than ever.

Prime Minister Trudeau, I am sorry President Trump's irresponsible ideas and choices affect so many negatively which includes you and your Canadians, and me and my Americans, as well as so many other. He should be ashamed of himself, but we all know that a narcissist feels only joy in hurting others. I worry every day, not just for the people of the United States of America, but also for all people around the world affected by this horrible man. I stand up and speak up with the hope that it makes a difference. Those I know are doing the same. I have heard so many republicans that voted for Trump, so very sorry now that they did. His irrational behavior is worthy of impeachment. Your speech, Prime Minister Trudeau, was honest and sincere and I appreciate your being so candid. I wish President Trump and Vice President Vance had the character you have. Best Wishes to you and the People of Canada, we have been friends for a long time and I would love to continue this friendship. Remember there are Americans here that appreciate you and your country.

Thats a great speech, but i have a question for the canadians: i heard that quality of life has suffered so much, less income, rising prices, problems with immigration and crime. Is it true?\nI hope we, europe, canada and the free world, can pull it together!

The only thing trump hears in this is “you’re a very smart guy” \n Trumps people will cut this piece up and tell the world Trudeau gave a speech saying trump was smart and has done big things.

Trump is a corrupt conman. Look at the difference between this speech and Trump’s. Trump speaks like a child full of BS.

thank you Trudeau for calling out Trump, America support Canda. Very good speech!

Damn trudeau earned back my respect with this speech

every American should hear this speech

What a speech! ??What a delight to hear an experienced, intelligent and eloquent Prime minister speak!?! Does this information reach the Americans? Republicans? MAGA? Do they understand this? Oh dear, what a mess! We stand with Canada, Mexico and of course: UKRAINE!! Greetings from Germany.

So eloquent and in 2 languages, no doubt. Now switch to Trump's speeches and enjoy the incompetence and crazy. Great speech Trudeau ?? \n SLAVA UKRAINI?? ♥️

......he is someone I would Love Leading my Country, especially right now. Then to further make Trump look like a dumbass, he did his speech in a different language...fluidly. Trump can barely speak English.

From Aussie land here, that was an excellent speech you should be proud Canada. We luv you guys, its great to see your country stand together total respect. Stay strong for your country

Amazing speech

Lol ? those who cry the loudest publicly are the ones who bend the knee behind closed doors . Its a worthless speech. Its a empty nothing backing speech. Only pawns would think this guy is tough lol ? its absolutely amazing what a true patriot can do . America first .

Fine speech, Prime Minister Trudeau! Very civilized and thoughtful. As an American, you and your countrymen have my full support and respect. You also have my sympathy for having to deal with the criminal in the White House and his incompetent lackeys.

Excellent speech. I am an Englishman and immensely proud to see our very close Commonwealth brothers and sisters standing up for what we all believe in and know is the actual truth.

Great speech Prime Minister. Thank you. And Donald does not deserve to be called President or even the respect to be called Mr. Trump. He is not. He is a Bully. I am glad you called him Donald. I am sure a lot of people have another name for him right now. I am a proud Canadian. I do not blame the American people. Just those who put Donald in power and those who work with him and support him. I love the US and hope and pray we will get through this together.

????????4??\n\nThat.. was a Brilliant speech ???\nFrom the UK, stay strong, don't back down to a bully.. Bravo

Facts, truths, actual statistics that he didn’t just pull out of the air…can Mr. Trudeau come be our president? What a fantastic, bold speech!\nStanding by you, Canada!! ? ?? Thank you for standing up and saying NO!

This is a wonderful thought out speech.. nothing like the speeches trump has proudly been spewing out. I dread the speech that trump is doing tonight. ??

An intelligent and presidential speech…. This is the sort of attitude and vision we need from our world leaders. Gives one a little more faith in politics…\n\nShame on Trump and his administration..

The only thing I'd say regarding this very intelligent speech is that the United States did not launch the trade war. The orange cretin did. The idiot buffoon, a national embarrasment, trump launched the trade war. Most American citizens did not want this and are deeply suffering because of him and we are truly going through it over here. Canada, we are sorry for all this stressful nonsense you are enduring as well.\n\noh, and dumbdumb trump is NOT a smart man. He can't even read.

Nice speech Mr. Trudeau ! Well Done ! Fière d'être Canadien tout d'un coup !

Sorry Justin... even though I enjoyed this speech you're still responsible for ruining our country. Your woke policies and taxes have crippled the majority of Canadians and you have the nerve to say the government has our backs is an absolute joke. I don't believe a word you say and I never will. If Pierre was in office right now Trump would have respect for us Canadians. Trump despises JT and so do 80% of Canadians.

je suis français et je suis totalement d'accord avec les decisions de trudeau !\nTrump engrange la dissociation et véhicule le mépris des autres sur la scene mondiale.\ncourage aux americains qui n'ont pas voté pour lui.. l'inflation va être difficile à vivre...\n\n\nI'm french and i'm totally agree with trudeau speech.\nTrump with is speech favorise people division and he conveys contempt at international scene.\nCourage for US people who did not vote for him.\nInflation taxes will be difficult to live with...
