Foil the knuckels and clear the benches. Its time to get at it! ????

I am always amazed how almost EVERY other World Leader, can speak clearly and professionally, without all the BS that idiot Trump spews every time he opens his fat, orange face.\nGO CANADA!

Sorry, but now it is clear that Trump is not played by Putin, he is Putin's agent. He was talking about the danger from inside. He was mocking all Americans, because he is the danger. Vance tried this with Europe in Munich. Guess what, Europeans looked at him as he was drunk.

Refreshing to see a clear-eyed seasoned leader with his country’s best interests at heart.

As an American, i found this speech to be clear, factual, and classy. I feel sad that trump et al are not behaving equally. As far as i know, trump has no parallel real activity to reduce fentanyl or cartel activity, much less actually advance economy for Americans and our neighbors.

Man, Trudeau is such a cool leader, clear, polite and charismatic. Why does he have to resign?

How refreshing it must be to have a national leader who actually speaks clearly and truthfully.\nBy choosing Trump, 50% of Americans chose chaos...and it's only beginning.

Thank you Canada for standing up to the idiocy of trump.\nThere is mounting and clear evidence that trump and his enablers stole our election through suppression of legitimate American voter’s votes…. And manipulation of voter machines…\nThe evidence is overwhelming…Trump is a #PutinPuppet and he is Putin’s useful idiot.\nThe majority of us Americans love our Canadian friends and neighbors.\n??❤️?❤️??

Trudeau is clear and articulate. Polar opposite to Trump.

I believe that the ultimate wet dream of Trump is to have a bigger nation ie. performing hostile takeovers of neighboring countries and of strategic importance for him (Greenland, Canada, Panama Canal and others). For that to function, he has agreed with his best buddy Putin to allow him his share of the Europian countries. China will probable be on the same hostile takeover trip all over the pacific as well. He and Putin think that they will loose out against China otherwise. What the poor man doesn't realise is that the community of the UN were and are the best deterence against China. His willingness to break that up will actually lead to a very big world dominating conflict. The clear thinking US politicians need to act quickly before more damage is done to the American people and country. He is on the path of destroying vital friendships to pay for his sick qunon infested mind...(eating cats and dogs....say no more)

Seeing it clearly now, Trump is doing this to kneecap canadian businesses so american billionaires can come in and buy them which in a recession economy will be super easy

Trump should be tried for treason. He is clearly a Russian asset, or at least some other asset than our own. Every day he makes moves to dismantle our democracy. To destroy this country. To rob the American people of their jobs, lives, and dignity. TRUMP DOES NOT WORK FOR US. Now wants his face on the 100 dollar bill?! He must be insane, and is not fit to serve this country.

Very clear, concise and measured speech from President Trudeau. Compare that with the rabid rantings from Trump.

I miss and desire this clarity, and transparency in government leadership positions. Succint, clear, honest, and direct.

Canada and Trudeau are our heroes in this tough times. Such a clear and strong speech full of facts - which a lot of the politics seem have a blind eye for right now.

The Americans have made it clear, they are not to be trusted, and will always be the enemy of the free world. We in Canada should close our border to all American travel

hats off to Trudeau, this speech was perfectly articulated. clear and concise. something Trump never gets close to.

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.

As an American who has never voted for Trump, as sad as this message is, I appreciate how Prime Minister Justin Trudeau always talks clearly and factually, and never gaslights which is what Trump and MAGA GOP always do.

Trudeau look the way he deliver his speach clear with sense. What about trump no sense he always critize his enemy

Very professional ? \nNo gutter language, no tantrum, no name calling, or disrespecting anyone, unlike the baby in the White House.\nJT got the message across in a very clear manner. \nThank you JT for being a good ambassador for Canada ??

Canada has a strong leader. It's a shame our incredible country doesn't and hasn't for years. Biden surely wasn't a strong leader. Trump is clearly not a strong leader. We are an embarrassment

I am moved with his words. One of the best address so far in the history-crystal clear and deeply impactful.

Let's be clear. He doesn't represent the U. S majority!!

The French part is slightly different from the English part. I think it is also important to understand the Canadian messages crystal clear by hearing the full speech.

I am gobsmacked with all the comments left on here from Americans standing with Canada... that's the way it should be however, how in the hell did that SOB get into office yet again if everyone is saying they did not vote for him. America had the opportunity to have someone sitting in The Whitehouse that would clearly better their country instead .......You have this.

He’s the common sense president….helping Russia and blasting allies. Makes total perfect sense, right?! We clearly have our common sense way…thank you Mr Trump for showing us who your real ally is. We needed this lesson for the help we gave on 911 etc. shame on us! I hope we’ve learnt a valuable lesson.

I'm disappointed he hasn't renamed the USA Trumpland or maybe the Fascist American Republic of Trumpland. FART clearly doesn't need trade they have the magic orange guy.

Clear communication. Thank you. I am deeply frustrated by what the US administration is doing. Smoke & mirrors hiding devastating long-lasting effects.

Oh, this is how President present and lead?? Trudeau presidential. He speaks clearly and respectfully.\n\n I'm jealous, Trump should learn from Trudeau.

Trump IS A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER TO OUR NATIONAL SECURITY. Openly siding with our enemy is known as TREASON.

You say there's no need or reason for these tariffs but that is according to you. Donald Trump has made it very clear what he asks from the Canadian people. You are choosing to do something but not everything he's asking. He doesn't want to be unfair to anybody, but he also doesn't want to be treated unfairly as a country. So please listen to what he asks. He holds all the cards again. He can and will destroy your economy and you will become his and our 51st State. Thank you

Thst's anti- Trumpism not anti- americanism. Trump is \n clearly seditious & totatly incompetent. Convicted felons DONT belong in the W.H.

Keep telling yourself and believing that Trump isn't in Putin's pocket. It's so crystal clear when you stop thinking like a cult member.

TRAMP will make and making america GREAT again.????????????????????????? USA next time wote for another uneducated douchebag to meke america even more greater.??????????? and by the way when tramp was shot, i doubt he got shot in the EAR. IT CLEARLY HE WAS SHOT IN THE HEAD. HE GOT BRAIN DAMAGE .????????

But... but you have to understand! We had to vote the way we did because there were upwards of five or six girls with peeners playing sports! ?‍♂ (That was sarcasm, in case it wasn't clear. US people have lost their damned minds).

Mad respect to Canada for standing up to their southern neighbors who have clearly gone completely off the rails.

Clearly Trump has to raise the tariffs even more. The left can't shake their old ways and I'm not going back to that HS.

Clearly he just threatened us with fentanyl.He said that we're undermining them keeping fit in all from crossing the borders.They shouldn't keep fit andyl crossing the borders regardless of what the trade circumstances are they threatened to basically just try to fill our streets with vet and all they f***** u*I'm telling you man is guys shooting himself in the foot

Trump is a bully and can never back down from any thing. Don't protest, VOTE! You had a clear alternative to all the craziness, but opted for the craziness. You were lied to, but too ignorant to see through the lies. You get what you vote for!

it's clear that Trump agenda is dictated by Putin. there should be room to impeach Trump for high treason!

Every US Ally should immediately cease all relations and commerce with the USA until we depose this orange psychopath from the Oval Office, that should send a clear message about what the world thinks of Traitors and Tyrants. US Military Vet.

it's clear that Trump agenda is dictated by Putin. there should be room to impeach Trump for high treason!

First of all, let's be clear, it is TRUMP doing this, NOT America. NOT American citizens! It is unfortunate that FOOLS re-elected him!! Now, we are ALL feeling the stupidity of HIS actions!! America plz, WAKE UP!!!

Canada does not have to defend itself in this case. Its clear that Putin wants to wreak havoc as much as possible and his ' boy' is doing it.

Good and clear speech. Unfortunately this will not get through the MAGA's thick skull.

Why do you just not get it? Everything Trump does is for the benefit of Putin. Trump is a Russian Asset! Clear and simple. The americans have voted for a president who is working for Putin. DOH!!

Just stop the flow of fentanyl and help us secure the border. Tariffs will end if that happens. These politicians irritate me in that they clearly care more about themselves than us.

WAKE UP BC! No exceptions for so called BLUE States. The boycotts need to applied to EVERY State not just RED STATES…..no exceptions.\nA clear and universal message must be sent. Trump is not making exceptions………..

I hope the world clearly see that many of us Americans feel like we’re being held hostage by a rogue government.\n\nWe stand behind anyone who can either bring it to its senses, fix it, or take us as refugees. Things are growing increasingly dire… and Republican voters are cheering it on.
