Despite Canada has some issues within the country, but your leader is much better than your neighbour. Kudos to Justin! What a great speech?

Excellent speech from a REAL Leader- not a Cry baby acting like a Mob Boss !!

This is the greatest speech the world has heard since Winston Churchill ?. From England I salute you Canadians ? ?? ??????? ?? ??. I’m sorry the unintelligent and uneducated from the US backwaters voted in that orange fck, but karma’s a b1tch and they can now enjoy paying premium prices across the board in their self appointed ‘great’ country ?

Proud Canadian….we stand with our leaders. Great speech, respectful, intelligent, on point… …standing up for ?? No drama, just facts.

6:51 “Donald” . Though I didn’t really like Trudeau, he deserves this standing ovation for the incredible speech. That’s how you send a message.

Now compare this speech to that sickening display of ego in the Oval Office w President Zelensky. \nElbows Up??

The only part of this entire speech I have any problem with is the part where he calls Frump smart. Diplomacy can only be stretched so far....the man is a blooming idiot.

I want to move to Canada after this speech

Took the twilight of his career to have backbone. Ill give Trudeau this great speech

Proud Canadian here .. thank-you for such a wonderful speech Prime Minister Trudeau. To the world: thank-you for your messages of support. To the Americans: we've received supportive messages from so many of you as well, thank-you.

Trump did this so he could say he did it, then take credit for your Canadian efforts for reducing illegal drug trafficking that led up to the numbers quoted in Trudeau speech. Trump is fake President….a wolf in black sheep wool.

I love how articulate this speech is

Great speech, this is the way a leader should sound in a crisis

A shameful speech from an equally shameful character. ??????

I'm from Poland ?? this was very impressive speech! We will not bow to Putin, not in the past, not now, not ever!

Great speech from Trudeau. ??

Did we watch the same speech? I saw an articulate leader speak diretly to the issues and impacts and crystal clear what is at risk. The US is wrong..

Kudos to the person who wrote him this speech. Not sure what great things he did that he speaks of… why didn’t he talk weeks ago before the taarifs? One speech without um, hum, ah… finally but still he must go!

People in the comments keep praising this guy..... sure he gave a nice professional speech. But, it doesn't change the fact that he's a joker and a complete douchebag to his country and to others especially India

What a BEAUTIFUL SPEECH!!! So refreshing to watch a real professional intelligent PM. GO CANADA. NZ IS WITH YOU!!

That’s how a leader speak!\nWith stats and figures to back his words not just gross lies!\nRegardless of their political affiliations, Canadians should be proud to have a leader who can speak so coherently!\nTrudeau will be gone in few days, but will be remembered for this speech, amongst many others ??

Greatest speech ever from Mr. Trudeau.

Excellent speech

Imagine gaslighting during your speech. Oh wait, it's Trudeau. Every speech is gaslighting his own people and the world.

Man, this guy is really good. That's the speech and knowledge a country leader should have.

Wirh one speech Tradeau has come back

Simple, to the point, factual, and brilliant speech. What the US is doing is starting a fight with the best neighbor you can possibly have, a neighbor who has always supported you. Trump is like Cesar setting fire in Rome.

❤ I love this speech! Mr Trudeau, you are a great president. ?

One speech cannot erase the past. Never forget!!!!

What a speech!❤❤❤\nSo proud of our handsome, intelligent Mr. Trudeau!\nThank everyone who supports Canada, thank you for all comments!\nDear American neighbours we love you, but we love and stand united for our beloved Canada??????

Please sir, may I move to Canada. Im not a karen, i mind my business and engage in civility, dignity and respect. I appreciate this speech. So proud

if trudeau had a speech like this while he was in office he would stil;l be prime minister

Texan and Cold War veteran here. Canada has fought beside us in every major conflict and a number of small ones as well and has always been a good friend to the American people. I will do everything I can to support Canada and Ukraine and any other ally our current dis-administration attempts to bully. \n\nExcellent speech Mr. Prime Minister, you are what leadership and integrity look like and Canadians can be proud to call you their own. You are polite, we are not. You are loyal, we are not. You have guts, we currently do not. God keep your land glorious and free!

Good speech, but still doesn't diminish the damages he brought as a prime minister

Respect for this speech

I advise we put another 25% tariff on Canadian products, just because of this stupid speech

Very powerful speech.

A quaint speech won't stop Trump from escalating the tariffs. Once the tariffs have been maxed out, all that's left to do is to order the American tanks to roll over the Canadian border. Germany did the same with Austria 3 days. Trump über alles.

He made this speech before Zelenskyy apologized didn't he?

Im an American, but I won't listen to a Canadian who played blackface and opposes freedom of speech. Keep the drugs in your own country. By the way, i thought you resigned or were voted out. Can some of you Canadians help me out with this?

Mutch love from the Netherlands to Canada. We will never forget or stop supporting our liberators????❤️??\nVery nice speech and it hurts me to see this happen to Canada.

Blistering speech? Literal propaganda. I’m praying for leftists to learn how to spot propaganda. It’s so mind boggling. Trump makes speeches thousands times better yet Hes “incoherent”. If trump cured cancer they would say “cancer rights matter!”

I am a conservative. I didn't used to watch Trudeau's speech. But this was the best speech of our Prime Minister. No shouting, no anger. I watched it 2 times.

Thank you Prime Minister for the amazing speech! We will be fine. Canadians are very strong ?

Nice speech PM Trudeau. .. Concise and level headed unlike the rambling gibberish coming from the orange clown that inhabits the Oval office. Trump for some reason hates America and wants it in a weakend state . Trump doesn't see himself as president but as a an autocratic ruler like Putin. Trump=Putin's stooge and UI

Donald, we have done big thing. This is a very dumb thing to do. - using words that Donald can understand. Great speech.

Trudeau is an idiot king. This speech from a guy that has been pushing for the legalization of hard drugs across Canada and leaving our borders wide open. He has pissed away Canada’s prosperity on wasteful spending and his climate agenda. This buffoon has zero credibility. He is an actor and puts in a good show. I’ll give him that. Mr tough guy. He is laughable. We need a real leader in Canada.

As a Mexican man, I must say this is the kind of speech I like to hear from a leader. Such a great selection of words, diplomatic and strong at the same time.\n From this side of the continent, the response of Mrs. president Sheinbaum was a little more cautious, at times lukewarm. She said countermeasures will be taken, but they will be announced next Sunday at the Zócalo, the central plaza here in Mexico City, which she asked people to crowd. \n We're definitely living hard times. The only thing I hope is this political hatred does not reflect on the common people when treating their foreign fellows. We are allies, not enemies.

There are no winners in a trade war. True. Look at history. So sorry about this decision by Trump. This is a very clear speech. May the United States powers that be reconsider this current tariff and fentanyl issues. As an American citizen I wish to work with Canadians and your government. Generations of common goals and friendship need to be upheld. My wish is for reconciliation.

Has governor Trudeau not accepted the order from his boss President Trump yet, at making Canada Americas new state? ? I’m being sarcastic btw. I love Canada and dying for some poutine. I guess Burger King and some other burger chains here in Denmark comes close with their loaded fries, but it’s just not the same. The color of are flags are the same though. This is Trudeaus best speech, I always thought he was an idiot until today. Canada, je taime❤
