Congratulations here from Germany to the Canadians for such a strong and intelligent prime minister. I wish we had someone similar leading our country, who is not afraid of telling this traitor and Putin supporter in the white house the bare truth.

THIS IS LEADING!!!

To any Americans watch PM Trudeau ... this is house a statesman and head of state speaks and behaves.\nNot the bozos leading your country. \n\nTo Canada, the Commonwealth and the world stands with you.

I really believe that it just comes down to Trump feeling resentment that he will never be part of a perceived 'inner circle' of establishment world leaders. It's probably over that one time when they were caught on a hot mic dissing him with Trudeau kind of leading the pack. Over the years Trump has shown over and over again that he is that petty and all of his decisions have an absolutely childish basis, yet the American people voted him in a second time. I've run out of patience with the American people too. They're not really doing anything about this except saying online that they support Canada just so they can feel a little better about themselves. If you guys want a dumpy predator for president that's your business but I will be doing my part to fight him and his unjust attacks against my country.

What do you mean closest ally? You don’t even have Boy Scouts let alone an army that can defend your country! Well you will get what you give, and you can raise your tariffs all you want, ours will automatically match yours! So you cannot compete , you are a lier and you are out as the loser leading Canada to communism! Canada has no choice to join Trump!

US need to be a shame of it self to let an idiot like trump lead them anywhere

Those who voted for that want to be dictator, America down fall is on your hands. Yall silly,gullible,rabbits. Your hate, division, racism, sided with that criminal. The suffering we'll all will go through is on your hands. How about those $16.00 eggs? You voted against everything that was good for US ALL. You silly rabbits. You had NO Spiritual Discernment, just bigotry, blind to WHO, & WHAT that man is, you didnt care. You silly foolishness, deceived rabbits. May God have mercy on us. It's going to be a longgggg 4yrs. That is if he don't crown himself as king. Demonic spirits are leading the FREE WORLD. Dear God

A true leader. Are Canadians sure they want him gone?\nIt’s time the rest of the civilised world turned its back on the US. We have all been lazy and relied on them taking away the need to invest in what we can do. Which is why they think they hold all the cards Let’s stop this now and all civilised nations that do not have narcissistic tyrants at the lead pull resources together with new trade deals and prove them wrong. Let them implode. It will happen. Let’s not trade with them \nStop buying Teslas too

Australian living in New Zealand here and i support you 100% Canada. Trumps is a Russian asset now and nobody should trust the US goverment. When their economy collapses they will only have themselves to blame for voting in a con artist and criminal that is totally unqualified to be leading anything bar a meal line in a public jail.

The reporter addressing this speech as anti-americanism is the most shocking thing. Let me put it clearly for you in case you don't understand, CNN: isolationist policies lead to reactionary policies. American policies are anti-canadian, NOT the other way around.

And how about not sabotaging one another and cooperating instead? Huh? Politicians, I hate you all so much...mainly politicians of leading countries...

Donald clearly is ahead of the rest of us in the fight against climate change, understanding as he does that a painful recession will lead to a deep reduction in the production of greenhouse gases as people cut back on their spending. If only we could see it as clearly as he does. Surely he will make his intentions clear by undertaking a farsighted austerity program, limiting his flights to Mar A Lago for golf outings.

I've never been so proud of you Justin Trudeau! If I could, I'd vote for you today. I think you're the leader we need more than ever. Thank you for everything you've done for us.\n\nI'm scared as hell of what's to come, who will lead us. If the Conservatives gain power I'm afraid we will go the way of the US and its idiot in charge and what will become of the world...\n\nOur next election will matter more than ever. I hope as Canadians we come out in droves and vote for democracy and not sit at home and watch the Right win. I've never voted Liberal before, I've always supported the NDP. But this next election regardless of who is elected as leader for the Liberals I will vote for them to keep Poiliever out of office as that will be catastrophic. \n\nOnce again thank you for everything Justin Trudeau ❤️

The US folks should ask themselves why does everything that surrounds President Trump lead to facts and the fact that Trump doesn’t understand facts?

That's hilarious how CNN has adopted a loser PM of a third world country to be it's faint beacon of their version of Democracy. \n \nCanada is a colony of the UK. It's not a Democracy. \n \nIn this day and age of freedom and independence, and respect for human rights, Canada and the UK governments should be ashamed that colonialism is still their guiding principle. \nI find that ridiculous that CNN does not see the hypocrisy of Canada and the UK leading the call for continued Ukraine independence. \n \nIs this slavish relationship the attraction for CNN and it's ignorant presenters? Isn't CNN the least bit ashamed they admire slavery in the 21st century and that they are giving voice to colonialists?

It's more than time for Canada to turn themself to electric Chinese car at around CAD 5K with quality comparable to Tesla and so many more affordable goods and products from diverse countries of Asia including cheaper chips, GPU, CPU, etc... with the green, affordable and available electricity in huge quantity who could place Canada at the first rank in AI development without speaking about it Geo position reducing latency, Crypto mining at the lower cost around the entire world, the world largest rear earth elements and so many more. By stopping to cooperate with a vicious country which has the philosophy of eliminating the concurrency until to collaborate for the exponential growth of each other's. It's clear that the target of the US was to force the Canada to be producing goods and service to the US consummation at a price so low that will have turn Canada in a third world country which the US could invade or exploit as it will, like they did all around the world by bombing and even committing genocide using proxy to stole the resource of so many nations around the world. So obviously they deal with Russia on how to rob the richest from Europeans nation like Ukraine as it is clear that the US is now looking to make the entire world economy fall for their own profit. Canada must lead in the fight against the American imperialisms pushing for a world embargo against the US and become at the same time one of the richest nations in the world if not the richest one. while for the US citizens to invest all their money in BTC to ensure that they will not fall down with their government and economy.

If russia learned about radiological effects on minerals and metals from Russia, I think they would see how it structurally changes it's genetic compound or atomic structure. I think they would even be able to develop radiation lasers used to change it molecularly. Adding missing ingredients, they could turn lead or iron into gold or something else. Since radiation is just heat.

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau for leading Canadians to stick together and do what is right.

Europe has just announced an 800 billion Euro defence plan; I bet they’d be very interested in Canada’s critical minerals. Canadians will not forget this; this has damaged our relationship with the U.S. and it may never recover. We cannot forget that Americans voted this man back into power knowing who and what he is; they somehow believed that he was magically going to lower the cost of eggs, end a war and save the economy. Canadians will never trust that Americans won’t again elect someone so stupid and pathetically unfit to lead their country; we have to start cutting the trade ties now so that we will never be this vulnerable again. I do agree with Dumpty that we need to pull our weight militarily, so we need to invest in our security and we also need to align ourselves with Europe since Dumpty is clearly aligning the U.S. with Russia.

This is really starting the trade war with the whole world- one country at a time. Let us see where this will lead us.

Donnie is a criminal and a bully and it’s nice to see a leader lead when it matters

If we compare Trump’s tariff policies with the approach taken during Smooth-Hawley Tariff Act (1930), there are striking similarities and key differences in terms of economic impact and global consequences. Here’s a comparison:\n\nSimilarities:\n\t1.\tProtectionist Goals:\n\t•\tBoth Trump’s tariffs and the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act were implemented to protect domestic industries by imposing heavy tariffs on foreign goods.\n\t•\tSmoot-Hawley raised tariffs on over 20,000 imported goods, while Trump has imposed significant tariffs on China, Canada, Mexico, and the EU.\n\t2.\tRetaliation by Other Nations:\n\t•\tAfter the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act, U.S. trading partners retaliated with their own tariffs, leading to a massive decline in U.S. exports.\n\t•\tTrump’s tariffs are already facing retaliation from Canada, Mexico, China, and the EU, which could slow down global trade.\n\t3.\tMarket Instability & Economic Risk:\n\t•\tThe Smoot-Hawley tariffs are widely believed to have exacerbated the Great Depression by restricting global trade and worsening economic conditions.\n\t•\tTrump’s tariffs are triggering stock market declines, price inflation, and global trade tensions, raising fears of a potential recession.

A very sick coverage indeed. USA wants to stop milking others for free to protect its ailing independence. As for Russia it is not mere Putin. The British were leading a sick policy of involving all to a fight to weaken them all, then their sick British empire may rise again.

Dear Donald. This is how you lead a country. Thank you for being a true leader Mr Trudeau.

Great job Trudeau didnt think i could hate anybody more than Trump but JD Vance is now in the lead after friday. How did you find a more brainless, spineless peice of garbage than that born with silver spoon orange oerson with dementia. Impressive almost ...

That’s the question “WHAT IS THIS REALLY ABOUT” there is something very wrong going on here! This current ?leading our country straight into hell has reasons far beyond fent! Like Prime Minister Trudeau said “that’s his excuse” esp. with Canada as we have known & for anyone who hasn’t known,they do now. Canada is not our biggest concern of Fent getting into our country! Trump wants to look like a hero to his sheep but he is only a puppet being played by Putin!What is it that Putin has that either is on Trump or what Trump wants! Keywords “what Trump wants” bc none of us want this! He is weakening our country almost daily & getting closer to Russia?! Russians don’t even trust Putin,let alone any Americans, esp leaders! Putin would destroy his own for power & yet Trump thinks he’s some “good trustworthy guy” we are headed into a very very dark time! The faster we get him out the faster we can repair the damage done! Idk how anyone supports this ?any longer\nAs an American I stand with Canada ?? Ukraine ?? Mexico ?? Europe! Ppl get ur passports ready! I’m ready to leave & come back in 4yrs!

Felon McMelon and Shady Pants need to watch how Trudeau leads. They might learn something.

Trump is not worthy of leading the USA due to his improper conducts in several aspects that affects all of us

We have no Govt. Trump is dealing with a loser that has already resigned. We have had no GOVT since early December in Canada, because Trudeau put the Liberals before Canadians. Majority of our country doesnt want that fucking loser leading us in this mess, his words are WORTHLESS.

It's just Trump. One dumb man who, for some dumb reason, speaks and represents a lot of people under the name of the country they live in. Maybe someone will figure out that someone can only make so many bad decisions before they remove that person from making more bad decisions. We have the village idiot in charge of things. Most[people in America like you and other leaders more than the person who is pretending to lead here. He's the fool of fools. You don't have to call him a smart guy just to make him feel good, he just does dumb things all the time. Either way, it's a fun show, I only hope the missiles start to fly and we all destroy ourselves. \n \nHenry Limpet: Doesn't it kind of give you a thrill of hope, George? \nGeorge Stickel: Hope for what, Henry? \nHenry Limpet: With the war in Europe and new weapons being invented all the time, why, well what if men were actually foolish enough to destroy themselves completely? Then, you see, the fish in the ocean would develop into a new race of men and - well, this time they might turn out better, you see? \n \nOne can only hope.

I stand with none of them! We’ll see where this all leads but I refused to get all worked up about it!

What a great leader Trudeau is - don’t we wish we had a man of his integrity leading us in the USA

WOW! A real leader, actually leading his country with its best interest in mind! I am so ashamed to be an American right now. Can someone please save us!!!! HELP!!!!!

Is kind of sad American should be lead by the smartest person in this planet

I hope the Prime minister reads these comments. If he doesn't then let others from around Canada read these messages and pass them on to everyone in Canada until it reaches every leader in Canada. Prime Minister Trudeau and all those who lead our provinces. When you come out to talk to all the Canadian, the Americans and all of our allies around the world. Please keep reminding President Trump. That Canada is still not and will never be for sale, no matter what. And don't remind him once. Keep telling him that everything you go on camera. And keep saying it until Trump finally gets it. Greenland you do the same about your country. And you too keep telling him this no matter how it takes. Keep sending him this message even after he gets tired of hearing it. Let us show this low-life criminal what we say and do to him and anyone else who abuse their power and authority.

Making an enemy of Trump is not going to work. Trudeau has no way of knowing who is coming here illegally. Our border is far too gigantic and mostly unguarded. Secure the border and Trump will back off. Your second choice will be 3rd world war. If you think Putin is going to go backwards on this you are mistaken. The Russians have invested the lives of thousands of their children so far. You don't seem to understand how dangerous a game you are playing. You are naive Trudeau and leading us to the brink of hell.

As an American, its refreshing to see a young, passionate, articulate, charismatic, kind, and logical human being lead a country, rather than the geriatrics and nut caaes we got here.

Can't Americans impeach Trump as not fit to lead? Because a lot of his decisions lately is not making making America great again. He destroying it from the inside and not supporting Ukraine for their freedom, making Ukraine great again and for their independence as country. Makes the decision very un-American. Don't get me wrong, I like the American people, but Donald Trump has got to go...?

A leader that only focuses on his facial expressions and dialogue delivery doesn't deserve to lead and comes across as highly disingenuous

Trudeau is absolutely right, Canada is lucky to have him leading their country!

He is a looser leading a country that has very little to offer. \nBig talk for a guy with few cards to play.

You Prime minister destroyed the country that leads to that tarifs possible. And you proud of him. ?

Putin gets the usa isolated, who knows where that will lead!?

As a stressed out American over this dumpster fire, I wish we had someone like Trudeau leading us

amazing speech. that´s how you lead and stand against Trump.

Impressive, Mr. Trudeau! I wish we germans had a leading Politician, able to hold such a smart speech. Congratulation Canada!

BLISTERING SPEECH....hahaha...the bllind leading the blind in the comments...folks...wait until you find out what's ACTUALLY GOING ON....

Very proud of our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. He's always had Canadians best interests first. I wish he can continue to lead us especially in this troubling times???❤️

As a right wing liberal / classic conservative, I've never been too warm towards Trudeau. No longer! He's miles ahead, morally and verbally, over the populist troglodyte currently leading the US. This is by far the lowest moment in America's history since slavery.

I'm from Poland. What terrible times we have come to live in... The world we knew is ending, and new alliances are forming. It doesn't have to be the European Union—let it be a UNION OF THINKING PEOPLE, a WORLD UNION OF GOOD WILL PEOPLE. \nCanadians, Americans - you are strong and smart enough (at least half of Americans who didn't vote for Trump) Please, don't give up, fight hard! \n\nUkraine + part of the EU + Canada + Mexico (Greenland/Denmark, Australia, Japan, who's next?) - we can survive without the USA, Russia, and their “minions”. \nWe here in Europe also have Putin's allies - Orban (Hungary), Fico (Slovakia). \nHowever, despite everything, I sincerely believe that decent Americans will bring the impeachment of “Orange Man” as soon as possible. Before he leads his country into hyperinflation and crisis...
