we will watch the US become a land of Hoovervilles- there will be a grand Depression and this is just what the architects of 2025 want. this is King Musk at work and his minions. Not all of us support this monstrosity in the White House and their dismantling of our democracy. Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau for speaking TRUTH.

CANADA be proud of your Country and Prime Minister Trudeau for delivering such a clear and too the point message on what is a senseless and pointless trade war. All the Best, IRELAND

Thank you Justin, Prime Minister Trudeau. No, you haven’t been a perfect Prime Minister, but in this moment I’m very proud of you. Merci Justin, Premier ministre Trudeau. Non, vous n’avez pas été un Premier ministre parfait, mais en ce moment, je suis très fier de vous. ??

Trudeau is a liberal jerk that has resigned as prime minister of Canada. He has lost all respect of Canadians. And who is paying attention CNN. THE WORST NEWS ORGANIZATION IN THE WORLD.

I'm so jealous! Why can't the prime minister be our president. We are stuck with a criminal idiot.

Prime Minister, I have not voted for you three times. I have not really agreed with your policies since you came to power. I have even thought that you did not know when to make a 'dignified departure. And now today when you have literally five days left before you step off the dais for good, I listen to you and am proud. This is what a leader does and says and I give you my respect and thanks as a fellow Canadian.

THE CANADIAN PRIME MINISTER HAS MORE BIG BAL*S THAN THOSE PUPPET REPUBLICAN LEADERS TO CRITICIZE DONALD TRUMP!

??????????????????????????????????????❤️?????Thank you our prime minister Justin Trudeau ?????️?️?️you sir are absolutely #1 Sir.??

Another awsome speech from Prime Minister Trudeau. A great leader for the past 8 years did the best to run a Country through Covid 19 and many other challenges. I am Proud of being a Canadian. ??

When you call our Prime Minister “Governor” Trudeau, that says everything about the man. Very disrespectful Donnie. I have never been prouder of our Prime Minister. God bless all of us around the world. Somehow we all will get through this.

Canada you should keep Trudeau as Prime Minister.. He's a great leader.???

Bravo our the best prime minister of the best country in the world

Prime Minister Trudeau, I am sorry President Trump's irresponsible ideas and choices affect so many negatively which includes you and your Canadians, and me and my Americans, as well as so many other. He should be ashamed of himself, but we all know that a narcissist feels only joy in hurting others. I worry every day, not just for the people of the United States of America, but also for all people around the world affected by this horrible man. I stand up and speak up with the hope that it makes a difference. Those I know are doing the same. I have heard so many republicans that voted for Trump, so very sorry now that they did. His irrational behavior is worthy of impeachment. Your speech, Prime Minister Trudeau, was honest and sincere and I appreciate your being so candid. I wish President Trump and Vice President Vance had the character you have. Best Wishes to you and the People of Canada, we have been friends for a long time and I would love to continue this friendship. Remember there are Americans here that appreciate you and your country.

I completely agree with you Prime Minister Justin Trudea!

Join the EU! Warmest regards from Germany. You would be welcome indeed. Why they speak english when the prime minister speaks french? Irritating.

Full props to Prime Minister Trudeau. A strong and decisive response was required and is exactly what’s needed to face trump down.

The greatest and smartest Prime Minister of Canada ❤ Justine Trudeau❤

I can't watch this Bulls**t. Don't fall for this Academy performance. He is the WORST Prime Minister in Canadian history. This tariff trade never would of happened if we had an election and had Pierre Poilievre as our Prime Minister like Canadians wanted.

Great speach of our Prime Minister!!! Well done Mr. Trudeau!

Prime Minister Trudeau, thank you for showing the world how a true gentleman and leader talks to the leaders of another country in spite of the irrational, immoral and turncoat actions from a former Ally; our (?) new MAGA President Donald Trump. It's so surreal that this narcissistic, psychopathic person actually won the Presidential election (again). All I can say is I am sorry, embarrassed, and ashamed of my broken country's politicians in Washington, D.C. at present. Many more Americans support the democratic policies than the anti-democratic that Trump's regime is spouting all around the world. Just know this isn't what most Americans believe and we don't support his thoughts and actions. We are trapped in this nightmare that makes no sense. We hope this is just a temporary change. These new policies benefit no one but the oligarchs of America (and world). I guess we are just going to have to take our punishment for the few years for not being able to prove that these people in Washington care NOTHING for anyone, including their own constituent, and are hell bent on taking down and destroying our American, Democratic way of life and we, the people, are helpless to stopping it dissolve and crumble. Thank you Canada for always being such great neighbors. Good luck, peace out!

Thank you Prime Minister for this !! I can’t believe that the Leader of the Free World has now become a puppet of Putin. So proud to be a Canadian. I will no longer buy products from the USA or visit as long as Trump is President

Thank you Prime Minister for full sentences, honesty and clarity. It's refreshing for this American.

What a speech! ??What a delight to hear an experienced, intelligent and eloquent Prime minister speak!?! Does this information reach the Americans? Republicans? MAGA? Do they understand this? Oh dear, what a mess! We stand with Canada, Mexico and of course: UKRAINE!! Greetings from Germany.

I'm sorry Trudeau. This is what a strong Prime Minister looks like. Standing up for our country, not bowing down to a bully and his every demands.

Canadian here. My husband and I listen at you here on CNN Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and we couldn't be more proud of you and your team. You say intelligent words right from the start and you deliver a strong message in a very strong manner, beginning with this: the US is declaring economic war on Canada, as well as strong arguments, and that fentanyl is just a pretext, which we all already know, that getting closer to Russia and cutting ties with its allies is Donald Trump's current course of action, and the fair question to ask is why is this man putting himself at the service of the Kremlin which is totally unnatural for an American.?

I am so proud of my Prime Minister. ??

As an American I say Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau!

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced his resignation. What weight do the words of a guys who can't even finish his term as the leader of his country have?? Obviously, a failure and unpopular in his own country. This guy needs to shut up already.

Fine speech, Prime Minister Trudeau! Very civilized and thoughtful. As an American, you and your countrymen have my full support and respect. You also have my sympathy for having to deal with the criminal in the White House and his incompetent lackeys.

What the hell does America expect when you attack Canada economically, threaten to annex Canada and repeatedly insult the Canadian Prime Minister. Canadians are fed up. And Canadians are sickened to see the USA cozy up to Russia and abandon our ally Ukraine.

Great speech Prime Minister. Thank you. And Donald does not deserve to be called President or even the respect to be called Mr. Trump. He is not. He is a Bully. I am glad you called him Donald. I am sure a lot of people have another name for him right now. I am a proud Canadian. I do not blame the American people. Just those who put Donald in power and those who work with him and support him. I love the US and hope and pray we will get through this together.

Why can't the U.S have a President like Prime Minister Trudeau.

wow im impressed with my prime minister Justin Trudeau, he killed it mic drop moment on Donald, spoke to the american people the canadian people and launched his counter attack. I hope Donald soon realizes his mistake.

Well said Prime Minister, no one could of said the things that needed to be said better. Intelligent and a Gentleman but firm !

I very much respect the Canadian Prime Ministers response.

Don’t fall for this, he’s not speaking for all Canadians he resigned as the liberal party was falling apart at the request of the liberals. He’s been flying around the world doing nothing the provinces have stepped up not the prime minister. He is putting another 25% carbon tax on Canadians come April 1. He’s no hero he decided to tax carbon and that will help the climate. Our gas usage is less than the carbon tax we are being charged as well as numerous other taxes but he flies in his big carbon polluter plane all over the world. Let him explain why he’s not on Canadian media ??? WEF PUPPET

Many of us did NOT vote for this administration - It's not Americans - it's this administration! We re SO sorry Prime Minister - We Americans love Canada! We will get through this - somehow!!!! Hopefully resume our relationship with you/Canada!

Today, I heard a true North American leader who very aptly described the situation leading up to these silly tariffs, the actions his country took to avoid the tariffs. P.M. Trudeau openly spoke of the changes that the wannabe Orange Julius threatened and why the U.S. wasn't being realistic. \n\nI know some people criticized the Prime Minister recently, but you have a great politician who is actually defending his country!!! Unite behind him and kick MAGA's arse!

Mr. Prime Minister -- as an American, let me tell you something: you're preaching to the choir.

What an eloquent, smart and educated speaker and beautiful person. Justin Trudeau should run for Prime Minister!

Great speech Prime Minister! Clear, concise and truthful! Someone needed to tell the world the truth. All Trump doles out is lies, lies and more lies!

I am an American, I support Canada and Ukraine, not Vladimir Putin and Russia. Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau! I'm sorry to say we have a wannabe dictator as president, I will never understand how he was ever voted in as president, he is not my president.

Canadian Prime Minister doesn't bullshit us he speaks the truth \nOf course Trump is buddy with Puntin... Will put the USA as enemy of the world ?. Trump is incapable of speaking the truth.... It's a dangerous man for the survival of the USA

You’re doing the right thing, Mr. Prime Minister. As an American Veteran, it breaks my heart that we are treating our closest friends and allies with such contempt. The current U.S. administration is a shameful embarrassment to Americans. I love Canada almost as much as I love my own country. Stay strong and keep standing up to the senile bully in the White House - for ALL of us. ??❤️??

This is a leader. So thankful this man is leading our country on this day. He will be greatly missed. Much respect Prime Minister Trudeau. ❤??❤️

THE RELATIONSHIP IS BAD NOW THANKS TO CANADA PRIME MINISTER BRUTOU‼️ \nU.S. HAVE A 41 BILLION DEFICIT WITH CANADA ?? GO TRUMP TARIF.\nALERT ? ALL OTHER NEGATIVE COMMENTS AGAINST TRUMP ARE BEEN PAID.\nNOW DEMOCRATS ALL OF THE SUDEN KNOW MORE ABOUT THE ECONOMY? WHY BIDEN DIDN’T FIX IT?

Somebody needs to tell donald, the disgraced, soon to be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, soon to be former president, the never to be premier of America which is the soon to be 11th province of Canada by way of unanimous consent of the American public... DON'T START NO SH*T WOULDN'T BE NO SH*T!\nYou know what this is about don't you?? donald is mad at our Prime Minister because he was caught joking and making fun of donald with other world leaders at the 2019 NATO summit in London. So because donald has microscopically thin skin he can't take his over inflated ego being bruised in any way, so to get back at Trudeau he's going to take it out on the Canadian public and the American public, the consequences be dammed. The only thing that is important to him is revenge no matter what the cost. Besides, when Trudeau visited the Whitehouse, Melania gave him googly eyes and melted in his presence. Let's face it donald, you can never come close to ever being the man our Prime Minister is as much as I dislike Trudeau and are glade to see him gone.

I am so proud of my Prime Minister! As for the Americans, I feel sorry for you! You have a lunatic running the country! Get him out! The damage he will do in four more years is incomprehensible! You won’t recognize your country! It’s so sad!

Cut off Electricity to these states Mr Prime Minister. Show them that we will never Bow. Let him come begging like hungry Dogs.

Well done Prime Minister Trudeau??. Thank you for demonstrating true leadership.
