With a dish, respectful Prime Minister like Justin Trudeau, if I were President Donald J Trump I would immediately double the Tariffs. And I live in Canada. \nIt just shows that on his way out, he doesn’t care a bit about any Canadian . They was so many things Justin Trudeau has done in his tender being Prime Minister wrong

Impressive statement, PM Trudeau! I support Canada, even though Minnesota will be hurt a lot by tariffs. Dictator Trump’s actions are indefensible! I’ll be sorry to see world leader Trudeau no longer be Prime Minister. And now Trump wants to arrest college student protestors.

Canadian from Alberta here. I'm very impressed by our Prime Minister today. He was speaking intelligently, firm, and showed great leadership. Way to go Justin, you showed Trump how a person in a leadership role should conduct himself.

Great speech from Trudeau, he is on his way out as prime minister and has been unpopular but no doubt he has had his finest moments lately. I wish Canada and a number of US states and sane US citizens could form their own nation or even a union at least. We'd be better off, anything is better than now. Americans will get hit hard by this too, so dumb. Trump is a fascist and brainwashed a cult called MAGA.

One of the BEST SPEECHES we've seen by an American President in a loooong time. Wait, what do you mean he's Canada's Prime Minister? Good Lord, our U.S. leaders NEED TO take public speaking notes from Trudeau.?

Canada, prime minister Trydeaux, cooperate from now structuraly with EU, Asia and Middle East.. Leave US from now for always alone.. They will sink and break as they choose for.. and rightiously as their president is a criminal and will not understand and change..

Prime Minister Trudeau when you start out your speech please stat half of America wants to have a trade war with us: because the other half of Americans does not want to have a trade war with Canada. I have been to Canada a hundred times in my lifetime since I live close to the Canadian border and I've always respected Canadian sovereignty also, that Canadian is our best partner and friend. Keep calling out TRAITOR TRUMP, the MAGA ACOLYTES and the so-called Republican party GOP that PLACE Putin over Canada. I don't know what Putin has over TRAITOR TRUMP or how much vested interest TRAITOR TRUMP is getting from Putin. The Canadian border is the largest undefended border in the world. To our mutual friends sorryl about this AUTOCRAT.

Very good Prime Minister from Canada

I applaud you prime minister you are of the elk of being presidential, our president is a thung and low life remember that!

I'm with you if you'll have me, Mr Prime Minister.

And there you have it, with every fact the Canadian Prime Minister lays on the table, he refutes each and every untruth or inaccuracy by Trump……\nImpressive speech!

My respect for my Canadian prime minister raised considerably..awesome speech..I thank you??

You suspend the parliament… copy everything from the opposition leader, and do the cut and paste into your speech. \n\nHow can Canada still have you as a legitimate Prime Minister at this moment?\n\nThe reason you are there to speak at this toned is because you know that you are not going to be elected next, and this is your dying moment and you try to be bold and a hero. \n\nShame on you … shame on you.

Prime minister Trudeau the United States needs to impeach this want to be president the people who voted for this so-called man I don't think that fully realize they put a criminal in office we need to impeach this man get him out of office very quickly. May God bless you prime minister Trudeau.?

And this is how a loser, an enemy of Canada, which he worked to destroy from within, the worst Prime Minister in canadian history - Trudeau, suddenly becomes a hero because of the actions of the Manchurian president Trump.

O my our dictator is upset...he is the worst prime minister in our country's history.

Prime Minister Trudeau, as an American i thank you for your speech and leadership.

Didn't justice treudo resign?\nWhy he keep pretending to be a prime minister? ?

when are all of you sheepeople going to realize that this media is offering only propagandized information. and their newscaster’s probably don’t even realize what they’ve been sold. That's why they’re so good at 4:38 selling us that garbage. I think it was Clinton that legalized us being propagandized. this man was shamed out of his Prime Minister position. he’s no friend to Canada and certainly not a friend to America. he’s been bought off and I’m sure he comes with a high price tag??????\nThe swamp is an ugly place. Maybe it takes an ugly acting man to clean it up. Go Trump! \nI’m turning off the fake news, it’s such a turn off the way they insult our intelligence. Wake up people!

Well said Prime Minister.

Ukranian here. Dont be fooled by this Prime Minister. Study him and you will be shocked. Smoke and mirrors

I’m a Canadian and no fan of Prime Minister Trudeau. It’s unfortunate the best speech he ever gave was after he resigned as Prime Minister. What he has said in this speech is absolutely true, despite the fact, I think Trump is doing some good things for the USA. This Terrif war with your neighbour is stupid. Unfortunately for us in Canada our Prime Minister has not given us the tools and freedom to grow economically and prosper the way we should have. Canadians should be living like Kings, but unfortunately are living paycheque to paycheque because of the stranglehold that our Prime Minister has put on businesses and its citizens. Now Canada has very little leverage, I believe to fight this Terrif war. Canada has become a pure Cradic nightmare, like the previous administration in the United States were overtaxed over regulated and spend money like drunken sailors on stupid things that don’t help us grow and prosper.

I support you Prime Minister. In 2016 the day after “he” was elected I started my research to figure out how we could move to Canada. It wasn’t possible for us at the time. I’m so deeply saddened by this monstrous and despicable decision by him that will affect both of our countries so horribly.

Brilliant speak from the Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau, absolutely brilliant. tRUMP will respond in his usual fashion...child like speaking ignorant and full of lies and praise for himself just watch. Is this what republicans voted for, trade wars with what were once strong allies, stripping Federal Departments that ensured well being for needed services. tRUMP and his administration this is a nightmare for not just the United States but the world.

Am a Zambian!! ?? that was a powerful speech by the prime Minister ? we pray for peace ✌️

Wow. Although, Kier Starmer has done ok....I would surely like this guy to be a UK prime minister. In fact. Why not. He's a free agent soon, so see you soon. ?

Lame duck Prime Minister. Why are you reporting this?

Great Job Mr. PRIME MINISTER. and never a Governor

Very proud of our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. He's always had Canadians best interests first. I wish he can continue to lead us especially in this troubling times???❤️

Very proud of our Prime Minister and his team ❤ This is a real leader Donald ? Merci !

That's a great speach by Prime-Minister of Canada.\n\nTrump made a mistake to start trade war against friends. Russia is a foe of the US, but Trump loves Putin. Why Donald stays his feelings on the top instead America, Freedom and Democracy???

As an American, I stand with Canada and Mexico but not Russia . Prime Minister Trudeau has demonstrated true leadership qualities. If the U.S. has trade issues with Canada and Mexico, they should be resolved amicably. What Trump is doing is not the approach of a smart leader—he is risking the livelihoods of millions of Americans

I am an American and I support Canada and Mexico for fighting back. The only way to win with this bullying regime in America is to be strong and punch back. The Felon does not understand diplomacy. Prime Minister Trudeau you are a gentleman, you have done everything possible, even allowed yourself to be humiliated by the US, and to what end? Do not bow down nor kiss the ring. Do what you have to to defend your country. Trump only understands strength, so Canada should be strong and fight back. Wish you well.

It's not the U.S. government that's doing this, Prime Minister Trudeau, but rather President Trump and his cronies. This tariff war wasn't voted on by Congress or the American people.

Gosh I miss this kind of conviction that the US leaders used to radiate when talking. You don’t need to be in politics to know what’s right from wrong. Just listening the the Prime Minister talk fires me up, more than this clown that we have for president ever will. Canada’s doing it’s job, it’s time we do ours and stand up to this corrupted government. WAKE UP!

I'm from USA and I stand by you fully Canada and Ukraine. This Prime Minsister is for the people in Canada. What an amazing leader. Im so disgusted by all this and so mad at all the Americans that voted for Donald

Imagine a candian prime minister speaking openly about hostile actions by americans and cnn calls it anti-americanism...

As an expatriate Canadian living outside of Canada for 40 years I have always been proud to be Canadian. Today I am 5 fold proud of my country and prime minister who have shown an intelligent but firm response to an adolescent bully.

As a canadian citizen, our prime minister has a good look & speaks well. But that's all. A lot of us are suffering up here. Everything is expensive. No jobs. More tax. More regulations. Our health care system is free, but it is impossible to see any doctors. Mega drug problem. Anyone thinks Justin T is a great leader. Please take him.

Great speech! Much respect to Canada and the Prime Minister!???

Trump has turned our friendship with Canada into a stupid, embarrassing fiasco. What is the benefit for the people? That's right, none. I am proud of Prime Minister Trudeau. That's correct, I hang my head in shame because I am from the USA.

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau for your clear words!

I'm a Conservative politically, but so PROUD of my Prime Minister today. His shining moment. Historically when pushed into a corner, Canadians come together and fight like hell. This will be no exception.

Didn’t this guy stepped down as the Prime Minister of Canada and then like refused to hold elections and continue to maintain his position even though he had said he didn’t want to do the job anymore. I can’t listen to Trudeau about

Justin, where have you been now? That's how a Prime Minister acts. You should have done this a long time ago. Have a backbone and keep it. You made a lot of Canadians proud of you today.

That’s our Prime Minister .. proud Canadian \nWe are not for sale and we Canadians are in this together \nCanada is not for sale … never ever

I am very glad our prime minister has stepped up and pushed back hard with what the orange predator down south and his puppet master, Putin, have forced on us. I have no doubt that this is going to be hard economically for us, but is a necessary step. Together, as a sovereign nation, we can weather this \n storm. Im very proud of how much Canadians have stepped up to support local and Canadian companies over American products. As our national anthem says, we stand on guard for thee. That includes all Canadian, no matter what skin color or background we are. United we are, and always will be, a force not to be pushed around.

Seeing how leaders like Trudeau perform their duties make me wonder why the hell we have such morons running our country in Australia and not someone like the Canadian Prime Minister.

Australian here, I honestly have no words, but that speech is amazing well done prime minister Trudeau. What a man and what a country ? ? love to all Canadians ❤

Mr, Trudeau prime minister, I am glad that you are standing up to trump do what is right for your country do not allow this, man child trump push you around, stand up take a stand do what is right what is just, your people who voted for you deserve it, show the world ?? that integrity, honestly and the rule of law still matters, let the world see trump for what he is, and I say to the other leaders do not be afraid to do the right thing, a good leader loves his people a good leader protects it's people , silence ? at this point in time is not acceptable, when you see tyranny speak up i asked my father ounce what makes a man, i could see in his face that he was thinking about this question very hard and he turned and looked at me and said, a man will stand up for what he believes in,no matter the price, and a real man will always protect those that can't protect themselves, for this is the mark of a real man and gentleman, i have never forgotten those words that he spoke to me, and I believe that this saying also has religious implication as well, after everything is said and done it's not the voters that are going to judge you in the end it's god and he is going to judge you on his standards not MAGA
