As a Canadian I don't like PM Trudeau but he is bang on about tariffs harming everyone and this speech here is fire ? This is going to end badly for Trump just like it did in his first presidency because it will hurt American's economically, and eventually they will push back against Trump. Love that he calls him Donald, not president Trump...LOL.

Trudeau hate The Russians but why retaliate at the American people. If President Trump is dumb like he said why our we in debt? All garbage to threaten the USA. If Americans stand for Canada right now Russia and China combined military will take over the US in the future.\nNo war for all. Peace on Earth. Trump is the man. #AmericaStrong

I have always loved Canada and I cannot believe how awful Trump is treating you. I wish we had a leader like Justin Trudeau.

Karma pays back....Trudeau was openly supporting Khalistani terrorist elements in Canada. If India supports terrorist elements trying to break Canada and againt Canadian Goverment will Canadians like. Ask yourself. Calling Putin a lying, Murderer Dictator. Who are Khalistanis Saints?

Trudeau is talking like we’re Americans. Dude we’re Russians now.

Ronald McDonald is a joke. Well done Trudeau, spoken and acted like a true leader ??

You know I’ve been killing myself working non stop for like a decade trying to hold it all together because of all the increased prices of everything. As a result I have not been paying attention. I know the tariff thing was happening, but didn’t know why this was a thing. \n\nShame on me for not being more up to date. \n\nI also know nothing about Trudeau or his political stance on literally anything aside from what he talked about in this video. \n\nI must say this was of speaking is EXACTLY what I expect from a world leader. Everything was delivered very well and without personal emotions. He’s not going off the cuff and saying whatever pops into his head. THIS is the exact style of communication we need from world leaders. I don’t see how it helps anyone, anywhere in the world to have people in control of nuclear armed nations to be shooting from the hip with communication.

Great goin Trudeau I I'm like you again

Hahahahaa... TRUDEAU actually sidelined PUTIN as LIAR and MURDERER. This is getting exciting. I would like to believe that TRUMP wants him down. And TRUDEAU just bite it.

What a sad little character Trudeau is. Like a stray poodle in the rain. What were Canadians thinking ever voting for this has been party clown. You almost deserve what’s coming to you with this trade war. It’s gonna wreck your economy

Trudeau is weak like 3.2 beer.

Common man, Trudeau is acting like a kid, what is that ? Why did he respond to the raise of taxes ? \nFor me, he should be negocating with Trump administration's, he did not do enought, what a joke.\nI' am from Canada and I need Trudeau to go away ; may be Trump is doing this because Trudeau has done too much against Trump, we need a new administration to talk with Trump.

When Trudeau leaves....so too will the tarrifs \n\nTrump does not like Trudeau.\n\nOnce Trudeau is gone.....things will be much easier for Canadians.

Bravo Prime Minister Trudeau…I wish we had a leader like you, articulate, intelligent and a great sense of decorum…instead we have the OHB

You know what, I still can't believe the Americans were stupid enough to elect trump. And according to the recent poll I saw on CNN 50% of Americans like what he's doing, and only something like 34% see Russia as an enemy. So far from being an accident, trump with his stupid ideas was elected on purpose. The stupidity over there seems to be deep-rooted. I think we all need to take a step back and re-think our relationship with this adolescent nation which has always been a bit gauche but has now definitely gone rogue. Well spoken Mr Trudeau. Thank God for you and Canadians.

American here we don't care we have our own oil far as I'm concerned y'all canuks need us not the other way around ? don't get me wrong I like your ppl but Trudeau what happened I thought you were gone with your commy BS

Im sorry Mr Trudeau, im sorry Canadian people. This American voted against this madness, and I do not support this ally of the evil of the world that is currently occupying the white House. This executive branch of the US government, along with the propaganda machine are fueling the supporters of this nonsense and they may not be able to determine the trauma that decisions like these tariffs, like putting down a great leader of a sovereign nation that was attacked by an aggressive country like Russia. This is going to do nothing but hurt people on every side.

It’s Justin Trudeau they don’t like and why would you woke tit

trudeau all you have done for Canada and Canadians in 10 years is try your best to destroy us. Why should we believe anything you say. How many $ billions have you embezzled? The worst thing is you gave iot to fake agencies overseas that looks like money laundering. NOTHING for Canada or Canadians. I'll steal your words to trump. This and you are REALLY DUMB!

Regardless of your thoughts on Trudeau, that was a very professional and reasonable speech. \nJust two months ago, Canada was sending firefighters, planes, and water to help with the LA fires... I will never understand why Trump chose to bully Canada after decades of them being our closest ally??!!? \n\nThis feels like a black mirror episode. ?

I do not like Trudeau...but i applaud him for this...fruck Trump

Justin Trudeau finally back !! Atleast for his last few months, hope he is like this !!

This guy trudeau is an empty vessel just like the little rat zelensky, we will see you fight with the giant rattle snake trudeau

Just to make thing clear. Most of us Canadians do no like Trudeau and most of our politicians, like yours in the US they are owned by entities that do not serve our Peoples.\nUS citizens and we Canadian will hurt, but Donald and Trudeau and associates WILL NOT HURT at all in this, they are already multimillonaires, but us commoners will have it tough. This is the price for electing tv stars and on surnames!\nWe Candians, like you in the US are entramped by two political parties; meaning, we chosse between bad and worse every time, we the People must break free from this slavery asap.\nNew fronts are merging to create a better and decent world, us, the US, and Canadian ought to have a good look at them all!

I like how Trudeau,and Ford have responded so far,but this has to end yesterday.

I wish we had a leader looking out for us like Trudeau

I don't really like Trudeau, however, this was well said.

They looked scared as hell. Trudeau is like a vindictive fired employee who steals and damages stuff before leaving. People like him are why many companies have security escort them out when they leave. Canada is going to suffer just so this wimp can feel like he stood up to Trump. He isn't even in a position to negotiate anymore. He's just causing his country more pain for no reason. Typical socialist. Whole lot of people in the comments don't understand the numbers. Canada has zero chances to win a trade war. Many Canadian businesses are already moving to the US.

I dislike trudeau but i like that he has a backbone here.

I like Trudeau

If only we had a president like Trudeau...

Now imagine if Trudeau led Canada like this his entire Prime Ministership, this is like dirty dog calling another dirty dog a filthy animal.

I thought 9% approval Trudeau was gone? \n\nLooks like you may have to jiggle the handle.

You people from XYZ are really like the EU hypocrites that all you got is words. As a Canadian, I hate Trudeau and everything his government has done to the country. I want a PM like Trump that is willing go against the entire system(deep state) and dig out all the dirt even though you're in the way of a lot of powerful people and organizations. Out of all the world leaders today, Trump is the only one with that kind of courage. Compare that to Trudeau—aside from his nice suits and polished public image, what has he actually done to improve the lives of Canadians? \nWe need a DOGE go into WHY WE ARE PAYING SO MUCH TAXES. When I was living in Vancouver, I (and many ppl) would just drive cross the border to get gas and groceries because it's just much cheaper once you're on US soil.... For years we cannot retain any talents because they would just migrate to the states because the pay is much higher with less taxes. I used to live in a bubble thinking that even though life is tough and it's harding to make a living here but at least it's more peaceful here than the States. That is not the case anymore and everything is getting worse in the past 10 years.

I visited Canada and loved it. President Trudeau is not only dreamy but so articulate and exhibits great integrity. Why can’t USA find a president like him. I just don’t get it. ??

I wish Democratic leaders in America would speak to the public like this -- explain what Trump is doing and why it's harmful to America. Democrats keep saying they're not in power, but why don't they use the power of the microphone every single day. This was a powerful statement by Trudeau.

Why has it taken until today for Justin Trudeau to talk like a man (like a Prime Minister); to speak like politics was not just about the liberals, but actually about our country and the United States.

Oh, it would be so nice to have a solid leader like Trudeau, not the criminal we have.

Atleast comments are not turned off here...unlike cowardly, biased, unfair and state controlled media like CBC and other Canadian media houses. Trudeau is an idiot and canadian govt is a supporter of terrorism as a state policy and runs on narco terror money.

Canada has the weakest courts in the free world. Thanks to Trudeau canada is a third world country. He also likes rent boys and cocaine.

BRAVO Prime Minister Trudeau!! To my incredible Canadian neighbors -- You cannot imagine the shame and humiliation I am filled with as I sit in my home, which is located south of your beautiful country. Please believe me when I say I am sorry. I am truly sorry, for any hardships my country has unnecessarily brought to your door. My fear is, 4 yrs from now when his term is up, there will be no peaceful transfer of power to our next President. He who shall not be named, will most likely refuse to leave office. I wish I was a wizard standing on Platform 9 3/4 right now.

Trudeau should be the president for US.\nHe speaks with so well from his heart. \nNot like the arrogant fellow

I am so proud of Justin Trudeau for standing up and speaking up like many of us here wish our president could and would

Trudeau is a great man and a great politician ❤. \nWe in Europe need politicians like him ❤.

Trudeau seems very scared. I like it.

Well, this mister dipshit Trudeau actually sound like he's got some brain laugh. ? unbelievable but damn sure sound like it

Trudeau is the epitome of what a failed leader looks like for a country. He is a joke and Canadians don’t want him.

I As an American citizen can only hope that we would have a president in office with the intelligence, compassion and dignity that PM Trudeau has. At this time I am truly ashamed of my country. Especially the ones that put this hateful, revenge seeking, criminal monster in our White House. I stand with you 100% Canada. I also hope that maybe within the next year, trump will be gone. I don't know how or where but just gone. As intelligent as prime minister Trudeau is I have to disagree with one comment he made. trump is NOT a smart man. He is nothing but a 34 count convicted felon, rapist and criminal wannabe dictator. I shudder at the thought of the end of his four year disaster. What will our country do when we have no allies whatsoever. He loves russia and putin, His puppet master. He does not understand that Russia has never been our friend, is not our friend. And never will be our friend. He just loves putin because He wants to be just like him. He is the United States very own Adolf Hitler. Also , I have removed our flag from my front yard that I so proudly displayed my entire life. It will be raised again but only after this nightmare called trump is gone! Please accept the apology from millions of Americans that stand with you. We are truly sorry and we are suffering with you. God help us. And God Bless Canada ❤

Never see Justin Trudeau that smart. Like it kind of breath of fresh air.

Wow! TRUDEAU!! WHY CANT THE USA HAVE A PRESIDENT LIKE YOU!!
