Excruciating to watch my country go down this path. Trudeau and Sheinbaum have every right to do what they're doing, and Trudeau's strong words for Trump were needed, and refreshing to hear. I still can't believe we're here, but I'm encouraged by the resistance to ignorance and cynicism.

No tele prompt just heart felt word

Portuguese here, I stand with you Canada! Eloquent, civilised words from your PM.\nEurope, UK, Canada and every civilised country, we must unite, that's how we become stronger. Donald's isolationism is a step back in every way. Just take a look at North vs South Korea.

Unfortunately Trump supporters won't listen to a word of this. Trump is just trying to weaken the Canadian economy so they're more willing to join us. Trying to strong arm every country surrounding the U.S. I want you to know that most Americans are against this shit.

Great speech. But won't work I'm afraid. You used a lot of words, so you lost Trump after the first sentence. And more important, you forgot to say, 'thank you USA'.\nI'm from Europe: we stand by Canada! You should build a big wall, to keep Trump and his corrupt groupies inside the usa. We will help pay for it, and I think Mexico will do too.

Trump should just change the word tariff to carbon tax so Liberals won,t be so upset.

As a Canadian. Don't believe a word coming out of this treasonous piece of crap. You're done. To sit there and call him Donald? This is how dumb this idiot is. God please help our country.

Trump went against the trade deal that he made with Canada and Mexico when he renegotiated the existing deal during his first term. Trump called his deal with them beautiful and perfect. Trump does not keep the deals he makes to other countries or to the Americans who voted for him. \n\nTrump's final push in his campaign was to cut costs for Americans at the checkout, chuckling at the strange sound of the word 'groceries' to him. He has never worried about or dealt with buying groceries. The moment he got back into office, he said that lower prices wasn't happening and that the American people would suffer. \n\nThen he and Republicans began cuts in jobs and government services to Americans as well as others in the world, so that no one can trust Trump --- and in the case of others in the world, it reflects so bad on the U.S. and against any trust in the U.S. anymore. No president has ever done so much damage at home and abroad so quickly. \n\nTrump is the Deceiver and the Destroyer. Trump doesn't care if his voters figure it out. They are no longer needed.

The problem here isn't temporary. Tariffs may or may not be. But when Canada, Mexico, and other countries build alternate trade infrastructure and strike deals that exclude America, this becomes near irreversible and will hurt America's economy well after Trumps term. And that's just trade and economy.\n\nThen there are many relationships worldwide which are already affected, and world leaders are poised to move on without America - leaving it isolated. The US is the most powerful country in the world and can survive alone, but even so, no country flourishes without international partnerships that both parties can rely on. Like Putin, nobody can rely on Trumps word.\n\nHe is destroying everything. And the American public are largely sitting back and watching it. \n\nWake up before it's too late.

Trudeau you are a weak lying snake bending truth to your victim narrative. Trump put you on notice regarding tariffs and here we are. Do you think he is not a man of his word? Well you have now experienced that this is in fact the case first hand. You have taken from America with very little in return and these are the consequences of your woke agenda for Canada. Look at you spouting venom, dischord and anarchy from your pulpit. Trump is interested in econmic revival for America and if you are not on board you will fall by the wayside. Only smart leaders realise throwing insults at Trump will only weaken your countries position. Surely you realise Trump is one of the most persecuted people on the planet, unjustly so, and your rhetoric will fall on deaf ears in the whitehouse. They've heard all the nonsense before. But, continue throwing the insults, chuck your toys out the pram, if it makes you feel like a grownup. I don't fancy your chances though.

I like he used the word dumb, maybe trump can understand that. US president is not so big in using deep words

Personality is not withstanding please pay attention all Americans. This is what it is like to have a leader that can speak in full sentences and have meaning behind all of the words This is what it is like to have a leader that can speak in full sentences and have meaning behind all of the words. I don't care what you think of Trudeau there is nothing that can be said in the positive about the orange blob that America has smelling up the White House.

Well, cant believe a word that comes from Justin's mouth! He lied so MANY times before and using this oppurtunity to cover up his abysmal performance

So I’m curious…. How does Fox News report on things like this? Do they mute him when he’s saying things that don’t align with their lies? Do they pretend the press conference isn’t happening and tell everyone rogue AI is having press conferences about evil woke DEI fentanyl cartels who will use space lasers on them if they listen to the words? Just curious. Not sure how they can avoid the truth so much.

...fu Trudeau...we the people see through you and the old guard and the establishment you represent...\n\n...keep your words and figures...blah blah blah...

Bro he is not doing anything to me but is speaking up for our tax dollars and bad deals where your country is profiting off of me and others alike. trudeau and zalenski get in front of the cameras and start gas lighting with word salad filled with stats. From the things you should be doing to what your are doing against us it seems like you think you are doing us favors not partnering with me and my country. Keep it 100 %

Trump does not keep his word never has and never will.

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.

Notice how the words got smaller when he spoke directly to Trump

This is not aggressive towards the US, it's not harsh. This a reasonable response from the leader of a nation that is the victim of Trump's declared trade-war. .. The important word is 'war', not 'trade'.

These are incredible and true words. Simply said with intelligence. A truly remarkable leader, sorry that you will lose him Canada. I support you and Ukraine. From New Zealand ??

Please listen to Trudeau, he is speaking true words. Stand up America and stop the criminal rulings of Trump and Musk

America is in a sad state of crisis. That guy Trump has been in bed with Russia since the 80s. He’s been bought and sold from the beginning. \nTheir goal is to bankrupt America and allow Russia to move in and take over the world from here. They plan to separate and divide the American people with race wars and financial instability. We as Americans must stand together to fight against the oligarchs. \nThe racist Trump supporters do understand once they achieve their goal. You will be the new “N-word “ in the situation. \n\n#freeamerica

Trudeau, I'm glad you used small words when talking to Trump.

As a Canadian, I'm obviously pissed, like the rest of Canada, and just to be clear, we don't forget!!!!\nA country that has fought wars side by side, and to see what the American government is doing is absolutely disgusting!\nTo all our American friends that didn't vote for this, thank you for the kind words.\nElbows up Canada, we stick together!

Trudeau has spent the last 9 years destroying Canada. He is supposedly on his way out. Most of Canada want him gone the guy was a drama teacher that lost his job for an inappropriate relationship with a minor. He arranged a NDA for a couple of million. All Americans see is his hair and his speaking ability. You can’t believe any of the word salad out of his mouths. Canada’s most corrupt PM ever.

A very articulate, professional and intelligent man has spoken. I heard him word for word. God bless you Canada and God bless America!

I'm no fan of Trudeau but... Compare this to Trump it's night and day. He looks young and healthy, talks eloquently and is intelligent. But Americans rather prefer an 80 year old obese criminal who paints his face orange and knows like 50 words. It would be funny if this didn't have horrible consequences for the whole world.

It is so refreshing to listen to a politician who can string words together in a comprehensive and truthful way without directly hurtling lies, childish insults and gaslighting. Best wishes to Mr. Trudeau and our friends to the north!

This is just sickening no words ?

Measure Trudeau’s words against Trump’s words when he delivers his speech to Congress this evening. While Trudeau presents facts, Trump will present misinformation and lie about how his policies and tariffs are great, best ever. Truth is, he has no plan for the average American, no plan for Ukraine security or peace, no realistic plan for Gaza, no compassion for Americans who are losing their jobs and benefits.

1:17 thinks I already heard these words a few weeks ago x)

It’s hard to truly put into words how hard it is to be an American right now who doesn’t agree with our government’s actions. I’m honestly just so sad.

Trudeau..give your people stimulus checks..Give your people some money..Words are nothing

I just moved from my California home state for the second, but just to let you know Canada i'm with you!! This trade war with these countries, are ridiculous but only to line, and continue to line the pockets of billionaires like Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and the tech family..... Trump has tried to stay close to Putin, but no one asks why?? We're not at war with Russia? He's been wanting the wealth Putn has every since he, and his wife visited in 1983.. He loves their minerals, and i ask President Zenlensky, if he signs that mineral agreement be careful how it's worded!!! J D Vance had know right to speak to Zelensky in that manner!! Trump, needed an education in government before he ran for any office, it's laws, etc... he's embarrassing when he speaks, calling other government officers stupid, and the like, like a child in school!! Why doesn't someone fact check Donald Trump vs Joe Biden with the things he's done vs the things Donald did while in office, as Biden knowing the law vs Trump as what he could do as a US President, not running this country like he runs his business!! I'm Georgia now, and still wouldn't voted for that man....!!!

You can give an intelligent speech but if the people who need to hear you are part of a mass cult, your words fall on deaf ears. Sadly, the only people listening already agree with you.

Watch your words hes avoiding a war

Nobody will ever trust the USA's words or promises. Not economically, military, or moral.

I do not believe a word this guy says. If his lips move he's lying

SAVE YOUR WORDS TRUMP DOES NOT CARE WHAT YOU THINK OR WHAT YOU SAY

yay bring on general Wesley Clark the last guy who started a war in Europe under Bill Clinton completely destroying the whole country and fragmenting it up into seven wannabe gangster outlaw states good job you are a man with words of wisdom I’m being facetious, of course

Finally those words for DTM

Isn't it wonderful to listen to someone speak so intelligently. Unlike the clown in the White House who cannot put two words together.

Words of a true leader, not the moron garbage USA ended up with

Only one word : BRAVO from France

Any time you are on any kind of team, the teammates you want are ones you can trust, ones that will keep their word. One thing that has made the US strong is the allies we have. He have been able to keep these allies because, in general, we have stuck to agreements we have made with other countries historically. If you have an ally that doesn’t fulfill their end of agreements then they are not much of an allie. If Trump is thinking he can “replace” our current allies and just go become allies with Russia—Russia doesn’t have a good track record on following through on agreements in the last few decades.

That's what a leader should sound like America. He used smaller words when he directed his speech to trump ?

Says the moron whose entire country wants him to resign. His words mean absolutely nothing given his atrocious record.

Words as a leader! Not the joke called leaders in other countries

USA is planning to take territories that have rare earth minerals (to compensate for the Chinese blockade of such minerals), or other strategic resources. This includes Canada (minerals, oil), Greenland (geographic security), Panama (logistic security), and Ukraine (minerals).\n\nUSA is also using rhetoric to pave the way for a war on Europe, so that USA and Russia can divide Europe between them. The words being used are that Europe is no longer democratic or secure (Vance) or that Europe is generally a bad place in a bad situation (Trump).\n\nEurope would do well to create their own military, and reduce their dependencies on USA as well as Russia. Europe would do well to seek other allies and new alliances, and to prepare for war.
