Trudeau speaks for the free world ??❤??

Bravo Justin Trudeau now that's how a leader of a Country is suppose to speak to the Country and the world and to Donald himself!!!

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. is the most clear speaking and direct leader in this times.

Washington State resident USAmerican citizen here. I love my many Canadian friends and neighbors. I will continue to speak and work for truth and justice, against the insane lies and damaging actions promulgated by our president and other horrible, greedy people who are destroying the good in my country. Thanks PM Trudeau, for modeling what a statesman and leader sounds like. DT won’t care, but perhaps some of his supporters here will.

And this is why I do not follow CNN. This came up in my feed, and I wanted to hear what Trudeau had to say. And I wanted to hear him speak in French. But no, you booger globs must think that there are no people in America who speak French, and no people in America who would like to hear him speak French. You are part of the problem, CNN. And then to hear this woman say what she says after that talk is just appalling to me. Lady, you are a turncoat. You do not have your ethics and morals in place. Anti-American? Anti-American? Is that what you got from this? Where is your dance cap!? Get it together. My god, what a disgrace, CNN. This is junk media. Infotainment.

Trudeau speaks English beautifully.

Love or hate Trudeau, hearing him speak like that makes me proud to be Canadian. We will ban together, we’ll get through this. #ViveLeCanada

This IS how a president should speak and behave. Impressive speech! My utter respect to President Trudeau! ?

I am not a Trudeau fan, and with good reason, BUT this is the first time in10 years that I have seen Justin speak so well, so powerfully, so clearly, without hesitation and with FACTS.\n\nThank you, Justin. You've impressed me today.

The problem with Trudeau, is that he bluffs real hard about:\n- the US being dependent in Canada.\n- Canada's trade with the US for the past decades is nothing but just an act of friendly favour to the US.\n- That the US lifeline hangs in the charitable hands of Canada.\n------\nWell, in reality though, this is not the case.\nThe coming weeks, months, and years will speak by themselves.

We need the help from our friends to speak the Truth, clear and loud. Thank you PM Trudeau. The only winner here is Putin. He gets to pit our Allies against us while destroying Russa's biggest adversary (or we were). This is insane, idiotic and hopefully my fellow Americans will wake up and turn this around before it takes hold. Congress needs to do their job and stop the Executive Orders we are not an authoritarian nation (yet). Stand with Mexico, Canada, Ukrain and the rest of the Free Democratic world.

Trudeau is speaking to the American people. You need to speak to the orange moron and cronies. Oh that's right you can't because he is a closed minded bully. \n\nHey Orange man! You are only fooling your lackies. Everyone else sees what you are really doing. Setting up your buddies to run these systems you are man handling from the Ukraine.

This is idiotic! Trudeau stands and speaks reasonably, clearly, and with logic. What a mess!

So proud of Justin Trudeau today. He is a decent man and leader, speaking the truth. I wish for the American people the same, a good leader to come, someone new. What is happening right now in the States is horrible and dangerous. No words.

One of the BEST SPEECHES we've seen by an American President in a loooong time. Wait, what do you mean he's Canada's Prime Minister? Good Lord, our U.S. leaders NEED TO take public speaking notes from Trudeau.?

More people need to speak up like mister Trudeau here. American government is not only screwing others, but also their own people. I do not believe that Americans understand how much disrespect they have gain. It is time that Americans start to wake up and speak up. Canada, we respect you big time.

Brilliant speak from the Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau, absolutely brilliant. tRUMP will respond in his usual fashion...child like speaking ignorant and full of lies and praise for himself just watch. Is this what republicans voted for, trade wars with what were once strong allies, stripping Federal Departments that ensured well being for needed services. tRUMP and his administration this is a nightmare for not just the United States but the world.

Trudeau is just hurting his own people, but I guess thats nothing new at this point. Candadian inflation will go up and America will not be greatly effected. If anything we can just import those same goods from somewhere else at a better price. Countries around the world are lining up to take these contracts as we speak.

Thank you Trudeau. As an American, thank you for standing up for your country’s citizens and speaking directly to American citizens. Your efforts are courageous and honorable.

Bravo. It's a refreshing reminder of how politics should take place and how politicians should speak and behave.\nit's also a reminder that no matter how much he desires it Trump can never obtain actual class or the eloquence demonstrated by Trudeau.

Finally speaking facts Mr. Trudeau

Mr, Trudeau prime minister, I am glad that you are standing up to trump do what is right for your country do not allow this, man child trump push you around, stand up take a stand do what is right what is just, your people who voted for you deserve it, show the world ?? that integrity, honestly and the rule of law still matters, let the world see trump for what he is, and I say to the other leaders do not be afraid to do the right thing, a good leader loves his people a good leader protects it's people , silence ? at this point in time is not acceptable, when you see tyranny speak up i asked my father ounce what makes a man, i could see in his face that he was thinking about this question very hard and he turned and looked at me and said, a man will stand up for what he believes in,no matter the price, and a real man will always protect those that can't protect themselves, for this is the mark of a real man and gentleman, i have never forgotten those words that he spoke to me, and I believe that this saying also has religious implication as well, after everything is said and done it's not the voters that are going to judge you in the end it's god and he is going to judge you on his standards not MAGA

Remind me again why Trudeau was forced to resign? Even NY Times investigative journalists recently explained how NAFTA worked against US interests and killed so much of our industry decades ago; almost the opposite of what was intended. Trade needs to be reformed across the board. It's also insulting the way other world leaders are now speaking directly to the American Public and lying to them as if they have our best interest in mind. World leaders are elected to defend the interests of their own people, many times they just look out for their own personal interest, but they are definitely not looking out for American interest. It is up to us. The world stage is a complicated transaction of this for that. That's life. Have you all forgot playing United Nations in high school? Trade needs to be renegotiated from significantly benefiting every other country but USA. Trump is trying to do that.

Patriotic American here. My government no longer represents me, my interests or my ideals. Thank you PM Trudeau for speaking up. Thank you Canada for being strong and decent people.

I'm really impress of what Trudeau speak as Trump from what I see he is in Putin's policy right now I can see that in the future Democracy world have to fight hard for Democracy worldwide

If we read how trump speak about governor Trudeau it's cleat Trump wants to make canada and Mexico the Ukraine of the north America! Maybe it's time to hit back at trump/VANCE AND CUT THE ELECTRICITY AND OIL OF ALBERTA RIGHT NOW ! AND KICK THOSE 2 CLOWNS OUT OF THE WHITE WHITE HOUSE CAUSE AMERICANS WILL SUFFER JUST LIKE US WITH THOSE STUPID TARRIFS

Why are still there, Trudeau? I thought you stepped down. The US does not need any of your resources, nor your BS. Go home, and let someone with common sense stand up and speak.

Don't let one rehearsed speech speak to Trudeau's competency as a leader. This wind bag has single handedly destroyed our Country in the past 10years. These tarrifs could have been avoided if his cabinet could have reached a deal and good diplomacy. I have zero confidence with Trudeau and his liberal party they can navigate any turbulent waters with Trump at the helm. Federal election cant come soon enough.

6:57 Perhaps this speech by PM Trudeau will prompt more voters, during the 2026 series of midterm elections, to send pro-tariff pro-Trump GOP members of Congress packing because it is those members of Congress not enough of whom have bothered to speak out on how the leader of their cult has simply made the US economy worse off.

America is now hated - by our allies! We have become the bad guys of history. Nobody can trust us anymore. It's shameful. No matter what one thinks of Trudeau, he speaks well here, and he speaks the truth. Ignore the MAGA Americans and Russian trolls who will belittle him. He's right here, there's no escaping this. Every decent US citizen should be ashamed.

I come from a long line of Canadian’s, I’m not a fan of Trudeau but I have to say he made me proud today standing up to the school yard bully. I know most Americans don’t support what Trump is doing because as Canadian and Americans we are decent hard working people who don’t need a government that doesn’t speak for the people God bless us all the world needs to find a way for peace our children and grandchildren deserve better.

I'm french, And i swear I will boycott everything I may buy from USA in the next 4 years and I won't go in USA neither. Donald Trump is most shameful president I've ever seen in my life. But what is mind blowing for me is how so many people can fall for all those lies and hate maga are spreading every day. People don't want to deal with facts and reality anymore. This how a civilisation is falling. Thank you to President Trudeau for speaking the truth aloud.

I hate the way Trudeau speaks, so annoying

So sick of everyone who mindlessly support Trump! The GOP are puppets & cowards, only interested in self preservation! Nice to hear a competent leader speak...great job Trudeau, do NOT back down to Trump!

Why don't they translate the part where trudeau speaks french ?? Or subtitles at least

nice speech trudeau. Resist fasc1sm! resist trump! he should be imprisoned! we are counting on you to protect our jobs & speak up for us & oppose trump!

Thank you for speaking the truth Prime Minister Trudeau.

As an American I speak for many that we did not want this for our countries and I condemn our President for being just a bully and a fool. Its so nice hear a leader speak with intelligence and compassion. Mr. Trudeau and the people of Canada I stand with you

Trudeau have had enough of Trump???? this is the first time I heard him speak so strongly.

Trudeau is just as much an asshole as Trump but the man is speaking facts here.

Trudeau was voted out , in Canada....\nSomeone else, shouldn't be speaking for Canada..he leaves in April.....

Trudeau: now let me speak to Donald. *starts using basic and childlike language*\n\nNow let me speak to Canadians. *uses idioms and complex language*\n\nI can’t ???

I love Canadians. They are sweet, kind, funny, hard working people. I have worked with them plenty. I apologize to our Northern neighbor, and I am so, so sorry this ugliness is being thrown at you. I did not vote for it and never have supported the rapist, felon. Trudeau is an example of a good, stable (Genius...ha ha) leader, who is speaking clearly with adult vocabulary, who is not out to injure anyone yet who is standing up strong for his own people. Him speaking directly to US citizens made me tear up, if only we had this kind of leader.

Attention Americans: Let's boycott Trump's speech (LIES) tonight! Turn off your TVs; don't listen! The evil tyrant lives for high ratings (such a leader)! Let's IGNORE him! Thank you (& TY P.M Trudeau for speaking w/candor & eloquence.)

?? here. Sure, we have our differences internally. Sure, we have problems. But oh my, in my many years of experience I have never seen Canadians united the way we have become as a result of threats eminating from the US. For this, we are putting our differences aside and uniting as one. I’m not a Trudeau fan, but he speaks - very well - for our nation.

Trudeau speaks as a true leader who has morals and values. Why is Donald turning to Russia and turning his back on American allies ? Most Americans do not support Donald.

First time I hear Trudeau speaking with good sense

Too bad he stepped down. Prime Minister Trudeau speaks and uses clear words. Trump got stuck with first-grade words. Immigration and all this gender craziness is how the demagogs won elections.

I’m not a fan of Trudeau but he speaks in a calm rational manner. He is polite but firm. I’m an American and although I agree with some of Trumps ideas, being rude and not thinking things through before acting, is inexcusable. We have enemies all over the world and now we have even turned our friends against us. The drug problem is an American problem, not Canada or Mexico. We can’t keep guns from entering Mexico, arming the cartels, how can we expect the Mexican government to keep drugs out of America?

we will watch the US become a land of Hoovervilles- there will be a grand Depression and this is just what the architects of 2025 want. this is King Musk at work and his minions. Not all of us support this monstrosity in the White House and their dismantling of our democracy. Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau for speaking TRUTH.
