Well done Justin Trudeau, we're proud of you. You said it with firm voice and with determination. You are one son of the soil, unlike weak and wavering Pollivere and Danielle Smith.\nWe still want you to be our PM.

Trudeau reminds me of a third grader that just had his lunch money taken by one of the bullies in class. He then goes and tells his mommy he is going to kick the bullies a$$ as soon as a cow flys over the moon!

Trudeau does not speak for Canadians. NO to Ukraine. NO to Israel. NO to trade wars.

go pm trudeau. you are doing the right thing for your country.

Good on you prime minister Trudeau! This is real diplomacy and wisdom. Your experience will prevail and the world will see who is the king. Because right now one king is completely naked! Bravo!?❤️????

Trudeau isn't dumb in stating this bluntly to 'Donald'. Trump needs to get the message (esp. by mass protest from his hopefully former American voters/supporters) just how dumb these US tariffs really are - how they'll cause inflation and stock market collapse the world over. And Trump's aligning himself with the US's manipulative, deceitful enemy Russia is because Trump has been laundering Russian Oligarch's money for decades (from forced prostitution and enslavement, drugs, and small arms sales to terrorists) to finance his real estate empire, ever since his 6 bankruptcies made him a bad risk for US lenders.

I love Justin !!! He is amazing!!! We will miss him,.\nThank you M .Trudeau ❤️??so proud of our leader ??????

he still thinks that trumpy is his friend and that enemies are others.... ahhh Trudeau...... wake up LOL

Did Trudeau step down or not ? I thought he stepped down. So he has nothing to say ??

Is Canada better after Trudeau or was it better before?

I love Justin !!! He is amazing!!! We will miss him,.\nThank you M .Trudeau ❤️??

What a mistake to acuse Trudeau of anti-americanism. He spoke very empatic to and about the american people. He only showed the need to fight back against the Trump madness aimed against the canadians. For what reason? America first is turning into America alone.

I am annoyed with CNN for turning this into a WAFFLE Soapy...At Last Trudeau has grown BALLS and he was presenting a Polite, Rational, Understandable, Logical, Factual explanation NOT only to AMERICA BUT more so to Canada and the World that Trump is NOT actually a SMART man but rather a deranged and dangerous illiterate with NO interest other than HIS EGO...SO CNN in your wisdom you ignored Trudeau's replies to questions from the press and gave oxygen to your WAFFLE MONGERS LIGHT WEIGHT comments.\n I have never been a supporter of wishy washy Trudeau....until this polite and measured presentation by him which was brilliant as an Educational tool not only for the American People BUT also for ALL of those ALLIES in the FREE World that TRUMP has absolutely NO RESPECT for and has been singularly responsible for the FREE World ALLIES to seriously rethink their allegiances with Chaotic America due to Donald's apparently Love affair with Putin as a fellow Dictator.\n America listen up.... The U.K./Europe are cranking up their home based on their door step DEFENSE INDUSTRIES etc which will be GREAT for Europe.... BUT not so GREAT for America''s employment going SOUTH.\n I was born in 1936 in the U.K. and have first hand experience of the TORTURE Ukraine is experiencing as the RESULT of Putin INVADING Ukraine....Donald and his Attack dog Vance are dangerous illiterates.

Trudeau has the full backing of the UK. I pray that the next prime minister takes the same stance as Trudeau. Trump is a dumb tosser who is hell bent on playing Putins fiddle.

This happened during a prorogation Trudeau called for. Look at what happened and where we currently are. He's starting a fight before he leaves....

It's mind boggling how someone can hear Trudeau speak, and then hear Trump speak, and then claim that Trump is the better man who has the best interest of the people in mind.

Why not translating what Trudeau said in french ? I wanted to hear it, but guess i have to listen some journalists explain what i just heard

Great speech Mr. Trudeau can you come down and teach Trump how to speak properly? Please. TRUMP IS SO EMBARRASSING

This guy is a liar. Trudeau is a liar. I live in Maine 40 minutes outside of the Canadian border. I have trail cameras everywhere that pick up people crossing the border all the time in the United States from Canada. We’ve seen it. It’s everywhere all over the state. And where else will they have strong forests full as far as the eyes can see cause 90% of Maine is for the Woods thick dense force in woods anybody can get through that with a compass in the will.

Prime minister Justin Trudeau seems like he wants all the smoke????

Trudeau is only saying what he thinks will get him re-elected. He needs to go

Very proud of Trudeau. His finest hour.

Ohhh y'all Canadian Trudeau want to work with us ..ok then help the USA from having Cartel's from crossing fentanyl n trafficking from your country to our country from the border. You can do that right now then Trump will take off the tariffs on you

When did trudeau go to the states and TALK TO TRUMP? I dont REMEMBER Him DOING SO❗️HE LEFT OUR PARLIAMENT BUILDINGS CLOSED AND WENT GAVALANTING AROUND EUROPE❗️

One thing Trudeau can actually do that will help is reducing a lot of restrictive business regulation.

I am an American. I am embarrassed and ashamed of the leadership of America. However, I am extremely proud of Prime Minister Trudeau and the citizens of Canada!! I stand by Canda and will be purchasing Canadian products as much as possible.

Justin Trudeau has no time for idiotic behavior. He came out immediately with the reality of this mindless decision made by our countries biggest enemy, Y’ALL’s chosen Batman and Robbing !

I wish we could have a President like Trudeau here in the USA fighting for his people.

Trudeau is so correct.

Trump always wins. How many times will Trump embarrass Trudeau before Trudeau learns? It is entertaining though. ?

I agree with everything Trudeau said except the part about Donald being a smart guy.

I don't think continuing to do what hasn't worked in the past is going to fix the future... It's time for change.\n \nThe US has been paying the world for too long, and now it's time for others to pay their share. I don't blame them for being upset, but I don't believe Trudeau's perspective is all inclusive of reality.\n\nAmerica should come first to Americans.

Uh oh - Trudeau is using facts - a.k.a. MAGA kryptonite.

Prime Minister Trudeau was wrong about one thing. That was saying Trump is a smart guy.

Trudeau makes no sense. Is he not the one acting like a dictator? Some people don't forget what you did Mr. Trudeau.

I'm definitely not a fan of Trudeau but easily this is his best moment as our prime minister

Justin Trudeau is a class act. Period. DJT , JDV, and DOGELON are small minded and extremely petty people(?). Reveling in the misery of others. Unacceptable. I stand with Canada and I'm not alone. A majority of my fellow Americans are in this fight with our neighbors to the north.???

There has to be someone like Trudeau in America that could be president. Maybe the US should become Canada, not the other way around. I would vote for that.

HOW is TRUDEAU still in power .This man has destroyed Canada .

Despite the rhetoric Trudeau can't hide the fact that he's flustered.

And now Trump is doubling the tariffs to 50% thanks to Trudeau making this speech. Thanks buddy!!!

Thank you prime minister Trudeau for making all Canadian proud . This is what we call a great leadership !

Next step - Donald trump impose 100% tariff on Canada and Trudeau crying in corner

Trudeau for next president of the United States.

Trudeau is a joke. While he is pushing his agenda. Fur starters, he fails to mention the trade deficit with the usa. So bottom line while everyone loses, canada loses more. The us can survive a lot easier without canada, while canada will suffer a lot more without the usa.\n\nWhen i bring cheese from the usa to canada, there is a 200% tax on anything above my $20 personal exemption, the save is not the same when bringing dairy to the usa.\n\nIf you want to be treated fairly, treat others fairly.\n\nAfter watching zelensky from Ukraine, Trudeau is pretty stupid if he thinks he will win this one.

Maybe Trudeau should have put Canada first over the last decade and we wouldn’t be in this situation. The guys a dirtbag and I can’t wait for him to be gone

Trudeau is a weak leader! For the past 10 years, he has mismanaged Canada’s finances, leaving the country in a fragile position. Instead of focusing on Canada, he spent his time touring the world to defend Ukraine. He chose Ukraine over his own citizens—this is who Trudeau is, a traitor to his country!

You have no idea what Trudeau has done to our country. We are ill-prepared for these tariffs. He is no hero. His speech was nauseating.

So pathetic. CBC our Canadian so called news has turned off any comments. Trudeau does not speak for the majority of Canadians. Our parliament is closed, he and his lackeys refuse to call an election. I would like to talk to my American friends. I apologize for this narcissistic lackey who has driven our country into the ground for the last 9 years.

Trudeau has a 30% approval rating in Canada, now I know why... no leadership. he talks scared he will fold to Trump again.
