Every Republican should be forced to hear this!!

Bloody reasonable logical speech you rarely hear from US now

Hear us Oh . . .

? Californian here. Thank you, PM Trudeau, for your leadership and for speaking with respect and clear intentions to rebut what you were forced into. Listening to you speak makes things feel a little less scary. To hear another world leader speak with such normality, is reassuring that democracy still exists. The last decade has been hell on Americans. Some of us have been standing up, speaking up and never giving up for a decade now. Wee are tired but we can't stop. Thank you for being a sane voice during this insane nightmare. And thank you for embracing President Zelenskyy. He needed that multileader summit embrace after what Trump did to him ?????

I do not understand how a country with a 250 year old democracy can stand by and let this Cheeto chewing prick ruin the lives of both Americans and Canadaians ??? Why are we not hearing from any senators or other goverment officials speaking out against this rediculously deluded individual?? This guy is choosing RUSSIA...RUSSIA!! and siding with Putin over his closest allies and the American people and no one is saying word one about it. HOW IS THIS HAPPENING?

Wishing I could read all 29k+ comments on this vid. Thank you, Trudeau. I hope Felon 47 and his MAGAs hear you.

14:19 we can hear him, he speaks English

Why can’t our US president speak like this?! Didn’t hear one validating self praise for doing something or name calling.

I have been to Canada quite a few times, they are a lovely people living in a beautiful country. So lovely to hear a man speaking sense. Well done.❤

I don’t want to hear Justin’s voice.

And their drug Labs that they discovered that they didn't know that was there all of a sudden how come there's only one person in each drug lab how come there's nobody else that got arrested or you don't hear anymore about that cuz he's guys are involved.

Come on CNN, get a grip. I want to hear what Trudeau has to say. Or, at least some insightful reporting and analysis rather than just repeating what he just said

Guys, this is all a fantastic ruse. Trump and his rich cronies are deliberately trying to crash the market so they can buy stocks and assets at record-low prices and then cancel the tariffs in 6 months and cash in big time. Meanwhile, we, the American consumers, and our neighboring trading partners pay the price. Hear me now, and believe me later...

Starting a trade war with our trusted allies is an extremely stupid idea... But does Trump and his associates ever have a good idea?? I am glad Canada is standing up for what is correct!! Hearing Trudeau speak in the language of FACTS, LOGIC, and REASON is SO REFRESHING!!!! Go Trudeau!!!

What a relief to hear a country leader not speaking like a gangster. The people of the USA support whatever retaliatory actions you must take. We are all going to suffer from this and we are really sorry for the irresponsible actions of our gangster prez Donald.

13:55 Shut up! We want to hear him. Not you. Why are covering up the reason Trump is doing what he is doing. Trash media.

Everything this guy has said is false and he cannot back up his statements,, we have yet to hear from the Fentanyl Czar,,,, no one has increased the checking of our ports and their cargo,, lie,, lie lie,,, the money set aside for the fight in drug war is not set to come for fruition for 2 years,, America, trudeau is the most hated pm in Canada,, but you wouldn’t know that because the media in Canada is paid and sponsored by the liebrel government. Do not listen to this corrupt lier but pray for us Canadians??

Wow! I would rather hear what this guy has to say more than the idiot in chief. DON’T WATCH THE STATE OF THE UNION.

Can't wait now to hear tonight the criminal orange blob whining in short incoherent sentences about his problems and about how he's been unfairly treated.\nWhat a stark difference between an intelligent coherent leader and a narcissistic sociopath moron. Go Canada!!

When you hear someone from another country to speak like that about your people in your country!Believe me they are so screwed

I'm European and I really can't understand how you can make an economic trade war with an ally like Canada, a close and so friendly neighbor.... A dumb decision not only for the W Post... And all of this will end up heavily impacting Americans as well, also because besides Canada there is Mexico, China and the whole of Europe. In such a war there are no winners.... I really hope that the American people understand this and start fighting for this nonsense to end. \nAnd when I then hear President Trudeau called governor.... Well I get even more angry. This shows even more (but there was no need) who trump is. A suburban bully. A rude man. An unscrupulous man who passes over everything and everyone.\nAmerica is turning into something I no longer recognize....\n\nKeep going Canada!

What a relief to see and hear that a country and its president do not knuckle under the American dictator!! And now the 81% of Americans that do not agree with Trump will do the same - and than Trump will be history. Lets move!!!

What I'm hearing from.our elected Prime Minister (even though I didn't vote for him) is honest&outstanding! he should not step down as this ridiculous $$ grab from Trumpty!!!!he should be do this to the other nasty 2 Nasty Dictators,not Canadian *s that for Centuries have spent our hard earned $$ &our fallen Heroes that died &followed the American beliefs to Freedom! Just discussing attitude!

I'm European, but I lived in Canada for a couple of months and actually got to see Trudeau speak live in Parliament. He gave a very different speech that day - a eulogy. I did not think then I would ever hear this man this very obviously pissed off. He's like one of those teachers that don't need to shout to show their students they are in big trouble. I don't know if I would vote for him if I was Canadian, but I would certainly be proud of him right now.

Trudeau and the country Canada are also been gifted and lied to by Donald Trump all the wonderful things that he said that he and Donald did together we’re all self-serving for Donald. He never has any intention to keeping allies happy that chainsaw that they broke out on the world stage is coming for everybody. But guess what we’re not gonna stand for it. They thought they were pandering this to a bunch of sleeping idiots but we’re awake and we have been awake. What a decent and humanitarian president going to figure out how he can help Canadian businesses whether this storm while Americans are left in the dust with their cabinet of curiosities screwing them over with no way to survive. I can already hear Trump’s read to the media. Canada has not done enough on the final on fentanyl they haven’t done enough. I told them they had to do XYNZ and they haven’t done enough. He’ll lie to everybody all over again, like every day of his life, the biggest liar.

I wanted to hear him speak french.I took French in high-school 50 years ago.

Fentanyl and people trafficing from Canada to the Us is below 1%, in case you didnt hear this?

Thank you for saying what the Americans who voted for Trump needed to hear, which is the truth about Putin.

NICE TO HEAR AND SEE A PRESIDENT THAT HAS A BRAIN AND DOSEN'T SHIT THEMSELVES!!!!

I'm not seeing or hearing Trump supporters celebrating their hero's leadership anymore. Where has the voice of the majority voting public gone.

I admire this speech. However, Mr. Trudeau. Did you know that most trump voters cannot watch any factual or well meaning news? Nope, they cannot. So when they hear your pleas second hand they'll just laugh at you. Sorry

Take off the word blistering so that my Trump-supporting family members will watch. It's important information for everyone to hear.

Bruh don’t just stand with Canada you might as well stand in Canada, echo chamber in this bitch can’t hear that we are not here to hold canadas broke ass hand

Two things come to mind after hearing about all this stuff. Why you go on live TV and waste your time when you could attempt to talk it out with the American government? Also, if the United States is posing a 25% tariff in Canada is doing the exact same thing isn't it more or less a wash?

It’s bitter to hear “while he’s speaking French..” before being cut off. Too often the francophone community is belittled in the ?? \nBut I can understand the priority for the panel to speak and for your viewers to stay hooked without subtitles

would have loved to have gotten to listen to him answer all the questions instead of you 3 blah blah blah the same things you said 10 min earlier. Now i have to go find the full thing elsewhere so i can hear it all.

I didn’t hear this kind of speech in the last 4 years.

I agree. Here is a perplexing question which may shine some light into what is happening here. Why are we always hearing what comes from Canada into the US when more fentynal and illegal guns come into Canada from the US than the other way around? What are they doing for us?\nFentanyl going into the US was just an excuse.

CNN - I wanted to hear what he said about aid to Ukraine.

I will never go to the US ever again!\nYour cookie cutter culture has no substance.\nYour “gated communities “ are prisons devised to protect the rich.\nYou live in constant fear and your prime focus is perceived threats to your freedom.\nWe here in Canada….not the 51st State, Don have bars on our windows.\nWe drink pure water , breath fresh clean air and we can sleep at night without hearing gunshots all night or the fear of bombs being dropped on us. \nWe are resilient people who can help ourselves in the wake of disasters and challenges.\nWe don’t need people to do our thinking for us.\nWe will overcome the folly of your ways.\nWe died for Americans and freedom in many Wars and we know what it is to make sacrifices!

It is truly amazing to hear the difference between a political leader speaking concisely and plainly after hearing another political leader speak nonsensical garbage.

Mr. Trudeau the fentanyl is full of bullshit and every estate of the United States they are factories of fentanyl this so called billionaires the only thing they try to do is pretend they can get away with everything. I don’t understand why the people in United States the letter get away so easy. The most danger is musk you have the right to take him the citizenship as a Canadian. We hear in United States support\n Canada days don’t last too long when people get pissed off things happen

I wish the talking heads wouldn't talk until after the Prime Minister does. I'd like to hear him, not their talking over him.

It’s frustrating not to be able to hear the Prime Minister in the entirety of his speech. Americans need to see what a real leader sounds like : articulate, sincere, concerned for the citizens of both countries.

As a American, I have become entirely jaded and have nothing but frustration, anger and anxiety towards actions of the supposed leader of this nation. Hearing this leader speak is so refreshing.

As an American, Im happy to hear this speech! We all need to recognize that fentanyl was created by the pharamaceutical companies.

The American people hear you! We know exactly to where to pin blame. ??one more thing! This will go over big at his State of the Union speech.

I hear you, Trump is cold.

As an American I am with Canada. How refreshing to hear an intelligent leader speak the truth. How things would have been different had Kamala Harris been our President.

This is just a sampling of what happens when you elect an official do the highest office in the land while this individual Donald Trump is Holden s official position as dog catcher is out of his ability. The issue on fentanyl, is a intoxicant that will not and cannot be defeated. This is a total failure on the government's inability to protect its own citizens that is their number one job.. The only solution that I have heard that remotely makes any sense is the Cato institute conclusion that the wisest route to go is completely legalization with age restrictions. While this may not be the desired outcome it's the only one that I see that makes any sense whatsoever it seems that when a solution like this offered so many individuals who have no gravitas in this matter will come back to the same nonsensical bulshit that they're going to stop the flow that is absolutely impossible. However we will continue on that course and we will continue to fail. The Cato Institute was initially funded by the Koch brothers a extremely conservative organization that gets together a group of the brightest and the best in trying to determine what is the best solution.the Koch brothers were the group that invented the tea party I would love for anybody who disagrees with this post. I would like anybody who thinks that this is a far-fetched idea ,all I ask is that if you disagree with the finding that it should be legal with age restrictions if you disagree I would like to hear a solution that you have in mind that you think is better than the Cato Institute finding. I am under the impression that you do not have anything that remotely resembles a solution to this terrible problem. Right off the bat, with uality control, you'll stop hundreds of thousands of deaths. All of the issues that are being dealt with are just so screwed up because we've already been through this before. After making a constitutional amendment to ban the manufacturing of alcohol it was reversed and I hope that the country realize that we cannot win this battle with the same mindset. The only reason why fentanyl is such a dangerous intoxicant is because there's no quality control. Also the cartels are not affected negatively \nBy allowing the government deal with this problem. the end result would be not only do you save lives but you also have put a very negative Spike through their heart of the cartel in the pocketbook. Incense elan musk & DOGE cost cutting measures since this War on drugs has caused over a trillion dollars and no 6:28 results. The DEA does not remotely live up to its mission statement and has failed every year since that policy was put in place. I would love to hear any feedback and a solution that is remotely possible.. let's hear some original ideas that the country would benefit from.. the ball is in your court.
