Passionate Trudeau hater but great speech by him. Fk Donald Duck

Trudeau is a clown. This is a guy who thwarts free speech and jailed his own people and took their money away during peaceful protests. Canada has enjoyed a a trade surplus against us forever. They also do not have to pay for military since they are right next to us. They should be doing whatever we want. Canada was sending recyclable trash to the Philippines. When the trash arrived it was not recyclable. Philippine president said stop sending but Canada continued to send it. So finally he said if you send one more ship, we will declare no war on you. And if that happened, without US help, even the Philippines would destroy Canada in a war. Way more fighting aged males and Canada has a worthless military. Canada has a GDP of 5-10% of US. So Trudeau acting tough is hilarious. Like a chihuahua barking at a grisly bear. If push came to shove, in the time of US war need, the US would simply take whatever it wanted from Canada. That's what happens when you don't develop your own substantial military-just like Europe now.

Behind closed doors, they talk about the American banks that want action in Canada. trudeau never mentioned in his speech.

I am German, a fantastic and very intelligent speech…..

Great speech: very clear and to the point. As is fitting for a wise leader.

Amazing speech,well done you sir ???

Not a very good speech. Over 90% of drug traffic reduction in 1 month, which really proves what Trump said. US official knows that significant reduction, yet, they still impose the tariff. Why will you still spend so much money to help America if they do not appreciate? Grow a pair!!!

This is a real leader. This is a great speech. Trudeau is a lot nicer than I am. Donald you are a bully racist criminal who idolizes dictators. When Zelensky was bullied about his clothes and kicked out of the white house, this is the first day I am embarrassed to be American.

Hope this speech D understood.Straight talk but Dumb D ?

How difficult it is to understand that this is not a speech by a PM to a president but a political rally speech to win the elections. If he really cared of Canada so much, why didn't he stop illegal immigrantion of know terrorist groups and its members - Khalistanis.

Great speech ???

Trudeau has had his share of critics during his tenure. But he's always had Canada and its' people in his best interest. While he was forced to resigned as many members of this cabinet was losing faith in him, this is his last week in office with nothing to lose. During these past few weeks, he has been a true champion by rallying the whole country and uniting us closer than I've ever seen. This speech was exactly what we Canadians all feel. Mic Drop! Thanks for the heartfelt comments from around the world.

K, so you’re gonna stop the carbon tax now then, right?????? \nlol\nI didn’t think so. This guy is so full of it. He is the reason why we are suffering as a country. Not Donald Trump. Donald is just looking out for his own country. It’ll help them, it’ll hurt us because you’re gonna let it hurt us. We are already taxed in every humanly way possible. What’s next? I’m sure you’ll think of something to tax. \nThis man has ruined what’s left of Canada. Don’t fall for this rhetoric little speech people. \nOpen your minds and eyes!

say what you want about Trudeau, but he hits it home with this speech to the schoolyard bully

Great speech! We have to stay strong against attacks on our democracies, from outside or within! Kudos from Germany

Fantastic and crystal clear speech, well done!

I'm a proud Canadian and love this speech ❤❤

What a great speech Mr Trudeau! So articulate. I’m so proud to be Canadian and to have had you as the face of our GREAT country??❤️❤️

Absolutely one of the best PM speech I have ever seen.

Fantastic speech

Compare this speech, content and delivery, to that of and by the US president and you'll see why the world thinks the white house has a clown in the hot seat

What a great speech Mr Trudeau! So articulate. I’m so proud to be Canadian and to have had you as the face of our GREAT country??❤️❤️

Dear Mr. Trudeau. You better be careful with your words and use them more thoughtful, because in your speech directly to Donald you are very ungrateful and very disrespectful to him. How dare you... ??? \nAll jokes aside: well done ?.

From Germany: Great speech Mr. Trudeau. So clear. I feel you are really worrying about the canadian people and you are doing the right thing to get the US back on a rational track.

No one is buying the fentanil pretext. A great speech from Justin Trudeau. I sincerely hope the Americans will wake up and destitute this ''Wanna be Putin'' in Trump along with his mentally challenged vice president. Loved the intervention of former General Wesley Clark. I mean, when you served the US Army as a general, i'm pretty sure this man loves his country and hearing him saying he's totally with Canada in this issue. It's sums it all.

Its not a „blistering” speech it’s just cold facts said well explaining everything step by step for the small children that MAGA Americans are.

What a great speech! Absolutely excellent, perfect! Trudeau is proving to be a really great leader. Lucky Canada. Shame that he won't be standing for re-election in the upcoming elections.

That’s not blistering speech. Just a heart broken friend asking America to reduce tariffs and mend the ties.

Speech speech speech

What an exceptional speech

His mistake in this speech was calling Trump smart. Why would he say that!?!? Trump is not smart.\nUS citizen here, and I’m all for every country standing against the Trump administration, even at our detriment.

From Bangladesh, I acknowledge Prime Minister Trudeau; he gave a very beautiful speech, and I agree 100% for a smart guy that it was a very dumb thing to start a war with allies.

Contrast this speech with what trump responds with. Insults the PM of Canada. By calling him governer Trudeau. Completely insulting and childish but what do you expect?. I just wish the rest of the worlds statesman started insulting trump the same way. A man child coward with the intelligence of a amoebe

As a citizen of the United States, I stand with Canada. I am from Michigan and don’t want my home gas going through the roof. I didn’t vote for the damn racist dictator. I am for human rights. I don’t agree with Trump!!!!!!!! Good speech Trudeau. Keep standing up to the bully.

I would love to hear such a good speech from our German Chancellor.

Australia??here, great speech Prime Minister. Stay strong Canada♥️

I’m Mexican I wish we had a speech like that in my country

I stand with Canada, Ukraine and all of our allies. Thank you for being a mature statesman and defending your country and its people. I am ashamed of our leaders and apologize that you have to even make this speech. ♥️

Very nice speech, strong and clear. Greetings from Italy

Fantastic speech! God bless Canada. Greetings from Denmark ❤

Trudeau is sooooo good, what a wonderful speech

I’ve never heard a more disingenuous speech. Look at his eyes Canadians. He lies just like Trump.

i know Trudeau gets a lot of crap from people, but my god this was a hell of a speech. same with Bernie Sanders' speech. i got goosebumps and also trying to fight back tears simultaneously. my ex wife is disabled receiving social security, medicare, and medicaid due to being in a wheelchair and requiring consistent medical care and attention. she receives, and is expected to survive on, $800 a month and $300 in foodstamps. she lives in campgrounds which is 90% cheaper than rent, and still has to budget, struggle and go without a lot to make life work all while being in tremendous pain and reliant on help from others. Trump, Elon, and all the other billionaires in charge are literally trying to make the ones suffering the most to suffer more while making them even richer. its absolutely disgusting how soulless these CEOs are. the world is ashamed of us and frankly if you are American and not ashamed and embarrassed by what these billionaires are doing with our relationship to not only our country but the entire world....then you arent a patriot, you are a cult follower, and you are part of the problem.

Canadian border state NDak here. Prime Minister Trudeau your speech was outstanding!? You are truly a great leader. God bless you all.

That was an excellent speech by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau!

A well balanced and thoughtful speech that was delivered in a calm, eloquent manner. Full of fact and not selfish assumptions. A polar opposite to Donald Trumps uneducated, Russian backed garbage.

The time has come to out-bully the bully. Appeasement will do nothing. Great speech, Mr. Trudeau. I hope our other allies do the same. Love from NY.

Mr Trudeau, first time I’ve seen you give an intelligent speech. But as I see it, you have been bad overall for the country of Canada. Why don’t you accept Donald’s offer to be the 51st state of America? After all, as I understand it, Canada lives off the USA as it is. Why not be a part of something greater?
