It be funny to go watch trumps speech right after this. Lol

This is not anti-American, it is just fighting back from an unnecessary trade war. It does however break my heart because many Canadians have family on the U.S. side. I know it would also break my father’s heart as he grew up in New England and had a lifetime affection for the U.S. I despise politics and have not been a proud Canadian for a few years but I have to admit that this speech is getting me going again. Canada needs to get its act together and rebuild its military, not to fend off the U.S. but to hold its own should other countries decide we are ripe for the picking. I want U.S.-Canada relations to be tight again. We’re neighbor. We will have our disagreements and that’s fine but these trade wars will hurt everyone and, if it lasts, may leave lasting grievances.

Excellent speech Hon.Canadian P.M. With very good analysis. Hat's off to you and Canada.

WOW SUPER SPEECH!!

Amazing speech ???

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. ?

Well done to Canada , a logical speech by the prime minister ?

This is an excellent speech, I'm so impressed

Exceptional speech. Kudos to you Mr.Trudeau and Canada.

Good presidents speech

Donald is a donkey. Fantastic speech. Long live Canada. ?

Such a nice speech, even more when compared to the way Trump-The-Disgrace speaks...

Fantastic speech straight to the unhinged felon Trump

Great speech, Prime Minister Trudeau. Nuff said. Real Americans support you & are listening.

This the best speech I have ever heard from Justin Treadeau

Imagine how much Putin and China love Trump after this speech!

Best speech Trudeau has ever given. As Canadians we stand strong together ??❤️

His Excellency Trudeau is what excellency is all about. He didnt just save Canada, he might just have saved the world with this speech.

I totally Agree with Trudeau. Great speech. They want peace, and not Trump.

Very good speech Trudeau, unlike tangerine's narcissistic ranting

Someone should do a split screen of Trump giving a speech vs any other world leader giving a speech. I don't know how any can vote for this orange buffoon.

Why is this speech not EVERYWHERE!!!! As it's supposed to be!!!!

This is the best speech Justin Trudeau had delivered! Canada has my support!

Lol. Don't be fooled by his speech.

This was the best speech Prime Minister Trudeau ever gave, hands-down. As a Canadian, I pray for President Trump to come to his senses. May Canadians and Americans stick to our long and enduring friendship and not let politicians divide us. ✊️

Great speech J. Trudeau! Don’t allow Trump to call you Governor

Blistering speech, eh! \nDid he borrow ZeIIensky's Test Ickles? \n Watch out JD! How dare you... \nThe miniskirted Boy Gang is coming at ya!

Great speech

Thank god for Trudeau. It is not Americans but Trump who is causing all this chaos. It is Trump that wants this trade war not the American people. Great speech.

Brilliant speech! Much love and respect to Canada and Canadians and their response! From your neighbor in Washington state.

Nice speech Mr Trudeau. Funny how politicians always start speaking truth only AFTER they decide to leave office ...... One of the best was Pres. Eisenhower's farewell speech and very apropos today.....

You need to leave. You took away our freedom of speech and expression. CNN is a big lie. People in Canada didn’t forget what and how bad you treated us. Now you are playing trump card . You made Canadians poor . All you do is lie. Trump is working hard for his citizens and what about you.? Just get out and let’s have a better leader. I can’t believe I voted for you.

Didn't he resign? Thanks for the great speech but let's get going with an election so we can get someone capable to deal with this....

Canadian Prime Minister a breath of fresh air and intelligent cohesive speech.

Fentanyl helped my mom with cancer pain. Then she got better and stopped taking it. Fentanyl sounds great to me. How many other issues does he Kev have need to be removed from the face of the earth that also help us. Not the speech of a thinker.

As a Canadian, I gotta say that his speech really made me proud to be Canadian and I will always stand up for our sovereignty \n just as my grandparents did.

Fantastic speech … I only wish he (and others) would stop using the Russian word ‘tsar’ instead of leader - we don’t want Russian leaders!

Sending love to Canada from Australia. Prime Minister Trudeau’s speech was spot on - these tarrifs from US are ridiculous. I will be specifically seeking out Canadian products to do my little bit to help.

I do not know if tariffs or Trump's actions are the correct thing to do. But why can't the USA do 25% tariffs, if Canada has 65% tariffs on the USA? Why is Canada demanding the USA support them? Someone please explain it to me. And Trudeau could have picked up the phone and called Trump, this speech was not meant to solve anything. What is so brilliant except to heighten rhetoric and tension? Someone needs to be a grown up but going on CNN and insulting Trump isn't the way.

I have to disagree with a point made by the Prime Minister; Donald Trump is not a smart guy. He's a dangerous moron and a con man. I don't know what else we Americans need to see to learn this plain truth. If I were Canadian, regardless of my political persuasions, this is a speech and a stance to be proud of.

I actually support Trudeau from this speech. Support from India.

While its a good speech, this is literally the least popular PM of all time. Dudes hated.

Best speech ever ❤?

Sound Speech ; from a Sound President .❤

Let's get self-sufficient, Canada. Better late, than never. We have everything to achieve that. Great speech, PM Trudeau!

Trudeau is such a great speaker! He is very clear and articulate. He speaks to the hearts and minds of his target audience. This is a rallying speech!

God bless Canada. What can the MAGA pundits say about his speech? Nothing, because he absolutely delivered with facts.

Would have preferred to hear Trudeau's full speech instead of journalist recap!?

I wish the news reporters would let us listen to what Trudeau is saying and stop interrupting and putting in their own 2 cents! Just let us listen to Trudeau's speech, and THEN throw in your 2 cents.

How many listened to this speech? ?
