That was a great speech from Prime Minister Trudeau. One of his best I must say . . . we've got to stick together and fight back this idiocy from Trump, and if we can do that we will win and he'll back off from these ridiculous and needless tariffs.

Thank you, Prime Minister. That was a great speech. Kudos.

A great speech, he should stay as Prime minister ?

Australia??here, great speech Prime Minister Trudeau. America has a strong history with its allies UK, Canada, Japan and Australia but these tariffs undermine these relationships and call into question America's trustworthiness going forward. America will become increasingly isolated which plays directly into China's and Russia's interests.

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

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

Great speech. Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau ❤

Terrific! If Trudeau would always talk and act like this, he'd for sure still be prime minister. Sadly he doesn't. \nBut this was such a great speech, wonderful. The complete opposite of the screaming, ranting, insulting, hating and nearly exploding blood preasure patient orange the u.s. calls president.

I got to admit..THAT was a GREAT Speech by Prime minister TRUDEAU!

Great speech Prime minister

An American here. What a great speech by your prime minister! We love Canadians. You folks are the best. And this will pass too!

Great speech from Trudeau, he is on his way out as prime minister and has been unpopular but no doubt he has had his finest moments lately. I wish Canada and a number of US states and sane US citizens could form their own nation or even a union at least. We'd be better off, anything is better than now. Americans will get hit hard by this too, so dumb. Trump is a fascist and brainwashed a cult called MAGA.

Great speech! Much respect to Canada and the Prime Minister!???

Great speech,but, Prime Minister Trudeau got one thing wrong. trump is not a smart guy.

Great speech! Two thumbs up, Prime Minister Trudeau! ??

Great speech by Prime Minister Trudeau of Canada to the Canadian and American people.

Another awsome speech from Prime Minister Trudeau. A great leader for the past 8 years did the best to run a Country through Covid 19 and many other challenges. I am Proud of being a Canadian. ??

Great speech Prime Minister. Thank you. And Donald does not deserve to be called President or even the respect to be called Mr. Trump. He is not. He is a Bully. I am glad you called him Donald. I am sure a lot of people have another name for him right now. I am a proud Canadian. I do not blame the American people. Just those who put Donald in power and those who work with him and support him. I love the US and hope and pray we will get through this together.

Great speech Prime Minister! Clear, concise and truthful! Someone needed to tell the world the truth. All Trump doles out is lies, lies and more lies!

Great speech prime Minister!!

I could not be more assured,as a Canadian, by the great unscripted,direct speech our leader,Prime Minister Trudeau, has delivered to Canadians and Americans. Everyday people will hurt through this and remember, it will not affect the oligarchy Trump has created, because they can withstand downturns in economies through wealth. His goal is to crush the Canadian economy in the guise of creating better paying jobs for American. Complete unhinged fallacy.

Great speech. Proud to have you as our Prime Minister.

Mr. Prime Minister Trudeau Thank you, Great speech thank you to make this nation united. I love this land and respect this wonderful Country.

Great speech by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. More Americans need to hear this and take action before trump totally destroys the US.

Great speech Trudeau. What an awesome last job for you as our prime minister. Fantastic. Thank you!

I am from Switzerland and I can say that Canada has a great prime minister, simple clear speech.

As a South African, I want to say that this trade war, as well as the hostile approach of Trump towards Canada, is devastating. If one were not experiencing it directly, it would be almost impossible to believe. This is such a remarkable speech that it will go down in history as one of the truly great speeches in times of crisis. It is entirely correct to address the American and Canadian peoples directly, as the Prime Minister has done. They are both clear victims of this madness, Americans misled, and Canadians the target, of this senseless trade war. If one reads History, there is another dimension to this, and I hate to say it. Canadians have to prepare themselves for worse. These types of antics by the aggressor usually involve, finger pointing, contrived border incidents, plausibly deniable incursions and other actions, by the aggressor, which one can find if the preludes to the WW1 and WW2 are studied. I am not sure if you have porcupines in Canada, but you need to rapidly become one.

Great speech given by our Prime Minister. Too bad he was forced out.

Great speech. I envy Canadians their prime minister.

Great speech, thank you Prime Minister Trudeau. I will always be proud to be a Canadian, eh.

Great speech, Mr. Prime Minister! Meanwhile, figures like Trump, Musk and their friends are raking in huge profits, leveraging their influence to e.g. steer stocks in their favor. For them, it's nothing more than a high-stakes reality gamble—at every level. And in the end, it's the American people who will pay the price. Best regards from Germany...

Great video! However you forgot to mention an important fact about our Government. As you may be aware our Prime Minister Trudeau brought an SS Nazi into our Parliament who was received with a standing ovation from all parties. Canada is on a dangerous political trajectory. Canadians have seen their right to free speech challenged by Trudeau who illegally brought action against the Freedom Convoy. Trudeau also through Bill C-11 is controlling the media so that he can decide what information Canadians may receive.
