My Premier is right, it's a dumb thing to do BUT saying that Trump is intelligent is a loooong stretch lol

No shouting no bullying no lying. Just intelligent speaking.

So much love and respect to Canada from an American that recognizes you are 100% correct. \nWould that we had such an articulate, empathetic, intelligent leader. \nHe is rising to the moment while ours drags us into the mafia thug abyss.

Well said Prime Minister, good to see an intelligent leader talking, partner up with Europe

An intelligent coherent clear 'truth' based speech - now compare that to Trump. Go Canada {from me in the UK]! I just hope we stand up to the US with the same strength. Not sure our PM has the same backbone unfortunately.

Great, unambiguous words by the Canadian president! But one of his remarks stood out: he said that the tyrants want to divide us. He is correct, of course. But the implications are profound! This means that Trudeau himself is measuring his words and deliberately using diplomatic language. He even says that Trump is “intelligent”, which only plays into the imbecile’s unfortunate NPD psychology! The unwillingness to stand strong against American tyranny is harming democracy worldwide! Force Trump to declare a side! And make him choose Putin or democracy NOW!! If you fail to do that, you are taking the path of accommodation, and if Trump is really a tyrant (which he surely is, because of MANY evidences!!), democratic countries weaken their position by not standing strong NOW. If Europe and Canada and Mexico ban Tesla imports and place 50% tariffs on tens of billions of dollars of American products, what would happen? Are these countries AFRAID of the United States? This is not the time for fear! This is the time for courage! Boycott!!!

As an American I an so jealous of Canada. They have a leader that is intelligent, principled and articulate.

Canadian’s are so lucky they have a confident, intelligent and moral leader!

Canada ?? we love you,great speech.So intelligent,not like your neighbour.

Trump's actions with these tarrifs are idiotic. We Canadians are going to fight this stupidity with intelligence.

What an intelligent speech. The USA is a disgrace under Trump, he sows hate, division and lies. SHAME on you Donald.

Wow! Leader of a country with a backbone. You should be proud, Canada. He makes Trump and Vance look like the low intelligent monkeys that they are. No offence to monkeys intended.

Am I the only one seeing one of the most smart, clever and intelligent real politician of today? Talking like he has finished some good university, but still has brain and critical thinking. With pride and balls. Bravo! Without any choice and political choice. Just pleasure to see/hear this. What’s going on will be in history books. 100%

Black American here who stands with Canada and Mexico! frump is not a very intelligent man and the republicans and voters that stand with him are just as unintelligent.

? the comments on here are ridiculous. Why would Canada prefer a trade war over simply securing their border? Obviously they’re in bed with China who is the main supplier of fentanyl. Trump isnt just randomly saying this. He is guided by the best intelligence agencies in the world.

This is what a President sounds like. Eloquent, thoughtful and truthful. There is no comparison - Trump = imbecile, the other world leaders = intelligent. Get real America. Your country is going to hell in a hand cart.

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau. Notice no name calling, no disrespect, no Drama. This is how you behave as an intelligent person. We are proud to be Canadians.??????????????????

What an intelligent and pleasant Mr. Trudeau ❤️ With great respect and admiration from ??.

This is how a state men respond. With intelligence and integrity ??????

Good video and then wolf spoke. Intelligent video intelligently made as dumb as possible. How is he still a cnn employee?

Can someone intelligent please explain with evidence why we’re at a war with Canada? How does this make America great again?

Trudeau is intelligent and speaks precise and clear, Trumps however is a dumb arse bully.

I only wish my country, the US of A had a leader as articulate and intelligent as this man.\nTrump is a humiliation to this country. He is scum. \nI am so ashamed that half my country voted him into office.

What a difference in leaders! He speaks so well and sounds so intelligent.

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!!

Articulate, compassionate, intelligent. I wish we had a leader in our country like him

Trudeau you are an intelligent individual and I’m sorry my government is acting so vicious..I hope they wake up soon before it’s too late.

This is how an intelligent and a reasonable Leader responds. With respect, understanding, and yes sorrow that it had to be so. ?????????❤

How refreshing to listen to an intelligent leader. ?

This is what an intelligent president who cares about his people sound like.

Mr Trudeau, may my family and friends come live in Canada? None of us voted for this big, fat, orange, narcissistic a**hole and his psychotic sycophants. Trump is only going to double down on all the things that piss him off. Look, if Trump thought he could make a dollar off fentanyl, he wouldn’t be against it - it’s just that he doesn’t get any of the cuts. And by the way, I don’t think I’ve ever heard “smart” and “Trump” uttered in the same sentence without “not” being inserted between them. Trump is an idiot. I have visited Canada and it’s beautiful, unspoiled, and intelligently ran. PLEASE let us come! Most of us stand firmly with Canada, Mexico, and Europe. I have never been so embarrassed to be an American in 67 years of life.

Canada is strongly anti fascist:\n1) we are against rascism and try to fight that human tendency\n2) we believe in religious tolerance and we don't fear secular views\n3) we honour our intelligent and hard working women \n4) we don't worship cult leaders who prey on our fears\n5) we are happy to live financially comfortably but don't worship the dollar\n6) we honour our military but worship peace\n7) we love our country fiercely but respect others and see their strengths\n8) we respect rather than fear sexually diverse persons\n9) we try to understand different perspectives of history\n10) we believe in equity and truth rather than Darwinian power (might is right?-no)\n11) we believe in a social democracy that pools its taxes and provides for all citizens

Wow, this is an American President who can talk coherently. I suggest that Canada invites all US-American States who still have a sane sense to join the United States of Canada. I bet, the world would be in a better state if we had leaders like President Trudeau. Chose between a babbling and overtaxed old man and an intelligent man who makes sense!\n(Should I have made any spellings mistakes, it's probably because English is not my native language, so please hold back on your hatred you trolls out there. At least I speak other languages ;)

I don’t have a particular political leaning, but listening to this guy speak is enlightening. He’s intelligent, rational, reasonable and statesmanlike. Basically he’s a grown-up. His counterpart over the border is a petulant, ignorant man-child who shouldn’t be in charge of a dime store, never mind a country.

An intelligence president with character, integrity, moral value, principal, self-respect, and self-esteem. A true leader who's loyal and honest.

Yea... they love us when we pay for everyrhing and cry when they have to pay. Trump is highly intelligent with a brilliant stsff and they're Making America Great Again.

Thank you PM Trudeau for this speech. i hope my fellow Americans are listening-so we begin process for returning to truth, honesty, friendship with our allies, and an intelligent realistic president and government. A government which doesn't bow to Putin.

America and Trump and Elon are done.\n\nThe EU with Canada and other allys are more suffisticated, technicolly further nd far more intelligent than Trump Elon and thet voters.\n\nCome on America.\n\nImpeach Trump.\n\nMake America Great Again.?

Hi Canada! Uh, neighbor, can we borrow a cup of sane, intelligent , well-spoken leadership?

Now this is a intelligent, wellspoken leader. It‘s just so sad and scary what the US is doing.

D. Trump ain't got nothing on the PM . As a matter of fact Trump has the intelligence of a COCKROACH ?

Imagine if the US had a President as articulate, kind, and intelligent as Trudeau.

It's times like this.I wish I were canadian was an intelligent articulate leader

Intelligence is so sexy?

``MAKE THAT MAKE SENSE`` ... A RESIGN Prime Minister adress on TV the USA policy... a ; RESIGNED !!! This CLOWN have NO RIGHT to talk in the name of CANADIANS because hey have RESIGN. This is a JOKE, a slap in the face to ALL Canadians... what a SHAME !!! If Justin Trudeau go HOME : They will not be trouble with the USA.... BUT this little guy think he is more intelligent than everyone else. PATETHIC ! Trudeau was the PUPPET of Europeens ... ; THEY WANT A JOB AT L`ONU... ALWAYS is PERSONNAL INTEREST BEFORE CANADIANS INTEREST !!!

Justin you threaten this guy because you are what he will never be INTELLIGENT ?

PROUD TO BE CANADIAN!!❤\nHaving said this, trying to speak to Trump like he's a normal person with intelligence and empathy is far beyond a lost cause.

The most sickening part is that his supporters is cheering him on because they are delusional and don’t have an intelligent grasp of reality.

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.

Classy and intelligent response, Canada! As a European, I truly hope that the ties between Europe and Canada will only become stronger. Long live the free and democratic world!
