What a friendly speech. He didn't even mention the fact that Donald Trump called the deal with Canada the best ever and so much better than NAFTA while he now calls it terrible. I feel for Americans, but you voted for the creep who is president right now. Sadly, you got what you wanted.

I just watched Fox News on this speech and the Zelenskyy fiasco. What a load of absolute bullshit. Pure distortion and lies

wow great speech. Addressing American people, Donald, and Canadians. We are embarrassed what trump has done to our allies. Glad Canada is standing up to trump. This is not about the drug fight. This is about cutting taxes for the rich and now he has to make up for the deficits. A lot of people lost their jobs in the government and now tariffs. Trump and Vance need to be removed. Canada, Europe, NATO, UN, CIA please please do something, you are our last hope

as an old Swissman. Impressive speech Mr.Trudeau! This is how a true leader speaks. Long live Canada!\nWhat is this orange madman doing with his great country, the USA? \nHow could anyone vote for such a man? You can see what he's doing. Starting an economic war for what?

Prime Minister Trudeau when you start out your speech please stat half of America wants to have a trade war with us: because the other half of Americans does not want to have a trade war with Canada. I have been to Canada a hundred times in my lifetime since I live close to the Canadian border and I've always respected Canadian sovereignty also, that Canadian is our best partner and friend. Keep calling out TRAITOR TRUMP, the MAGA ACOLYTES and the so-called Republican party GOP that PLACE Putin over Canada. I don't know what Putin has over TRAITOR TRUMP or how much vested interest TRAITOR TRUMP is getting from Putin. The Canadian border is the largest undefended border in the world. To our mutual friends sorryl about this AUTOCRAT.

O.M.G. what a great speech

Boo boo, Canada has been taking Billions from us and charging us Tariffs. We DONT NEED CANADA. They need us not Visa-Versa. I was Born in Toronto, what a terrible Liberal Leftist Country it has become including “ No Freedom Of Speech “. Trudeau is in competent and one speech doesn’t change that. Face it Canada !

He is leaving office for his failures! His speech means nothing. How are you a leader if your quitting? What does Canada have that the USA can't live without? Whiskey? Bacon? I hope we stop buying anything from them. They are about a useless country. LMAO

I’m a Canadian and no fan of Prime Minister Trudeau. It’s unfortunate the best speech he ever gave was after he resigned as Prime Minister. What he has said in this speech is absolutely true, despite the fact, I think Trump is doing some good things for the USA. This Terrif war with your neighbour is stupid. Unfortunately for us in Canada our Prime Minister has not given us the tools and freedom to grow economically and prosper the way we should have. Canadians should be living like Kings, but unfortunately are living paycheque to paycheque because of the stranglehold that our Prime Minister has put on businesses and its citizens. Now Canada has very little leverage, I believe to fight this Terrif war. Canada has become a pure Cradic nightmare, like the previous administration in the United States were overtaxed over regulated and spend money like drunken sailors on stupid things that don’t help us grow and prosper.

Watched the whole speech on Canadian news. This is what a real leader sounds like....an actual , intelligent adult.\nTrump has made it very clear he is working for Putin to destroy America in every way possible. Those who\nvoted for him, and still support him are absolute idiots.

So annoying. The reporter talks over him as he's answering a new question in order to repeat what he had just said. I'll find his full speech elsewhere

Who cares what Trudeau says he is a looser and has resigned so doesn't have a mandate to make such a speech.

What was the point of this speech? Was it a threat? No. Was it a plea? Yes. Was he criticizing Trump? Not really. Was he praising Trump? Yes! How can anyone approve this speech??

I want to move to Canada now. As an American I have never seen anything so stupid than what our president did. I am 1/2 Canadian and shock at what is happening to our friends up north. This was a great speech and I am very impressed with what they will do to help their fellow citizens.

What a speech! Brilliant statesmanship, Mr Trudeau. We in Europe should echo these sentiments and emulate Canada’s response. Respect!!

Australian here, I honestly have no words, but that speech is amazing well done prime minister Trudeau. What a man and what a country ? ? love to all Canadians ❤

Americans: remember what it's like to have a smart person for president. Cohesive speech, no bullying, no name-calling, no stupid analogies, no n4z1 billionaires making all the decisions...

From Brazil; Seems like Trudeau never disappoints, what a amazing speech and leadership

what a beautifully crafted and heartfelt speech by a true leader. no bluster, no hyperbolic ranting, just facts and setting out the stage as trump is engineering it

This is the type of speech hard to listen to, the type of speech you need to give to a country about to go war, make no mystake, thats what this is, and this is also the type of speech that shows who is and who is not fit for leadership, Trudeau you made mistakes when you were younger, but who didnt, but you sure matured to be a leader who can make people follow you from youre words alone, im glad we have a president in south america with such caracther on the side of reason and peace, with all the doomlike scenarios i conjure from seeying Trump pulling the USA to side with Russia and only imagine russia joining nazi germany just to get also screwed as soon as russia gets the chance and trump is clueless about it, youre speech eased my mind a bit, thank you and thank you to all the people of Canada

From a Canadian citizen.\n\nExcellent speech, nice presentation with sugar coating, but the taste?\nHowever Trudeau is not telling the Truth about the Fentanyl of less than one ounce coming through the border?\nHow about Oil, Lumber and other minerals trades?\nThe USA has ten times more than what Canada have.\nWhat about border protection? Canada invested in two helicopters and many drones with thousands of land miles and the same on water to protect?\nThe cartels are much smarter than Trudeau borders policing, because they've already installed thousands of infiltrators throughout Canada to deliver any drug amount to the USA.\nAnd calling the president by his first name?\nTrudeau is taking Canada to another level, lower than we've seen or felt, because he's not a politician and not a businessman.\nFor last.\nThe notion that our lower level of politics still uses the word FIGHT instead of making a DEAL.\n\nAnd their old ways of saying, WE ARE WORKING HARD.\nINSTEAD OF WORKING SMART.\n\nMy opinions.

? he rhymed the first sentance of his speech. Wants to talk about inflation, meanwhile his varbon taxes inflated Canadian markets more than anything in our history. What a hypocrite.

If Putin is a murder? Then so is America? So is Ukraine? So is Palestine? So is Israel? In the 1990 Middle Eastern war USA ? tried so diligently to destroy the WEAPONS OF MASS DISTRUCTION!! ?? killing so many innocent people calling them terrorists. What do we call this action? GODLY ? Everyone is trying to show their power through Global Politics that they are greater than others and trying to rule every country in this world before fixing their own. Trudeau has brought Canada to poverty in his so called successful 2 terms government. He should think before he talks or like Hitler he should rehearse his speech in front of a mirror before opening his mouth in public, it's a whole lot of crap coming out in public and losing his sane ability. ?

Trudeau is what a President is like His speech shows his caring and concern for Americans as his own Canadians I admire the Prime Minister

What an intelligent and articulate speech compare to Trumps endless mumbling and articulation of a demented grandpa with strange worldview. I am so sorry for Americans. I think this is the worse American president in history and he will definitely make history as in as the most incompetent American leader in its history. I can’t help but wonder who the hell was voting for this idiot?

What an intelligent and respectabel person! A fantastic speech! ❤Best wishes from Catharina in Sweden! ?????

What a good speaker 20mis speech & he’s not reading from a pice of paper like Trump dose.

Wow - what a speech.\nNever heard it before in such a manner from a politican.\nI have to say this as a german.\nWish we had in germany someone who speaks clear facts and talks directly to the people.\nAdmiring that he also speaks directly to Trump - in clear words.\nMuch respect to Canada.\nStanding with you ❤️.\n\nHopefully wars will end immediately.\nPeace worldwide.

What a speech! Cheers, from Los Angeles!?

What a wonderful speech! ?????? All support and respect from Brazil .

What a great speech. Balanced, fair and well thought out. Wish we could have politicians of this calibre in the UK.

Im English, what a fantastic understandable speech. Trump has gone mad, a lot of people will start turning against him, especially him siding with putin the murderous dictator in modern times. All people in power should stand united in a crazy world. Well done canada and their superb leader.

RESPECT - what a speech‘ ???

What a magnificent speech!

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 .

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.

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.

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.

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 .

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!

What an idiot. Your going to collapse your country. We dont need anything from Canada. Start making cars in usa again. Create a landbridge from alaska to Washington at least 1000 miles wide. Canada lost thier freedom of speech and thier freedom to protect themselves. Americans love Canadians so wee need to end the tyrannical globalist agenda and remove that regime from the face of the earth. Lets give canadians thier freedom.

12:43 notice how CNN won’t just let you listen to the uncut speech and makes sure they spoon feed you an opinion halfway through. Trudeau is a terrible leader, please open your eyes and think deeply about what he says. Don’t just immediately agree because he matches your anti trump bias

You know why there are no trump supporters (yet) in the comments here telling you why trump is right and Trudeau is wrong? Because right-wing propagandists haven't had time yet to tell trump supporters what to think of this speech. Give it a few days, and then expect a bunch of ignorant, foolish MAGA clowns who can't think for themselves to be here regurgitating what they were spoon fed.

I'm not a fan of Trudeau, but I must say, what a great, articulate speech. What a nightmare 4 years of orange baby.

What a wonderful speech! Congratulation from a retired British living in France! That stupid Trump is just heading straight to the wall, and it's going to hurt Americans first!

What a great speech

From USA. What a good speech, TRUDEAU is eloquent, smart, diplomatic, and I'm pleased he called Trump Donald. THAT SPEAKS Volumes here. TRUMP is not my president. I'm sickened to what he is doing, harming Canada and Usa. Trump sickens me. He is not smart. He is not a leader. I'm with CANADA. AND UKRAINE!!

What we are all experiencing right now is unbearable. Canada is a role model and it is good to hear this speech. I hope that not all Americans are enthusiastic about their president's machinations and will publicly show their protest on the streets.
