I love you Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, you are good & forthright. Wish i could move to Canada!

When Canada’s prime minister cares more about Americans than the current president does… you know America is in trouble….

Canadian prime minister is addressing his fellow countrymen in BOTH ENGLISH AND FRENCH. Americans refuse to be multilingual and multicultural.

He screwed Canada with the Biden administration, and he wants to pretend he's the prime minister! His term is over!

From Puerto Rico thank you for being the adult in the room and speaking with honesty and respect, thank you Prime Minister Trudeau and beautiful and strong Canada!

Bravo! Prime Minister Trudeau. This tariff debacle is stupid, stupid, stupid and the American people will pay for this stupidity.

Wow, the Prime Minister handled himself like a champion. You can clearly see the problematic politics and the unbalanced decisions that the United States has adopted.

Canada aligned with Genocide Netanyahu Mr Canadian prime minister. You guys are just same bird of the same feather.?

What a fantastic speech from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau delivered with respect, with no name calling and lies.

Watching here from Canada, originally from the Philippines, I am so proud of our Prime Minister Juatin Trudeau, person with sense, compassion, articulate, and mostly a Good Person, with President Zelensky not a Dictator One. God Bless.

CNN... please stay quiet and let us hear how the Prime Minister answers the questions! These reporters have no manners!

Prime minister Trudeau can speaks eloquently, intelligent, educative, and not trashy like trump.

Well said Prime Minister Trudeau ??

Trump will insult our Prime Minister. He will make him sound like an idiot! The only idiot is Trump! He has absolutely no idea what he’s doing or talking about! No idea!

Prime Minister Trudeau make me proud to be Canadian today. Thank you Mister Trudeau ans God bless you and all Canadians.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau thank you for your address to Americans, to the american Bully in chief, and to your people. I am among those who started pushing back before trump took office, many are. We’re watching legislation and countering it. It won’t be easy, but we, the other half who understand that trump is crooked and dysfunctional, will not give up. Generally, Americans are not great when it comes to hitting the pavement and letting our voices be heard, but we’re getting much better. We need to be more like France, but without the destructive automobile fires and other property destruction. Life will be hell here, in my own democratic country, until the Bully is gone. I want the entire republican party gone, they only serve themselves via stock insider information, and messed up wishes to control a dystopian society while kowtowing to the billionaires. I want the democrats rebranded to acknowledge the important social programs we have. Let’s face it, they did not protect us from this trump/project 2025 takeover. Instead they allowed unchecked lies, and the ability to buy his way into office with so many felonies under his huge belt. In a country that is intellectually compromised, lies are very effective weapons against democracy. We need better hate laws to control this lying issue.

Finally this is our Prime Minister. We won't back down! PROUD CANADA ??

Congratulations Mr. Trudeau, you finally sound like our Prime Minister should. Now start making this country self sufficient so we don't have to rely on anyone. No more selling off our Crown corporations our land and other businesses to foreign countries. Keep Canada Canadian and give jobs to born Canadians first. Stock pile our oil and gas for our use and lower the prices of these things so that transportation cost make things easier for business and personal enjoyment. Don't tax the farmer so that they can supply food to everyone cheaper. We should not be struggling in this country which has all the natural resources . The unnatural population growth has put a strain on the whole system and in some cases put us in danger too. The crime rate has increased in large part to your lax immigration system. All the businesses increased the prices of everything due to this unnatural population growth. Supply and demand is not working the way it is supposed to anymore. In a normal household we make plans and prepare for changes. You just said ok, let's bring people here and forgot about the preparations. Infrastructure first man. If your going to bring half a million people over here, build the houses first bro. Nobody in Canada should be homeless which is another result of poor preparation. The housing prices and everything else went through the roof in large part due to the unnatural population growth. Anyway, think first before you act just like in a private home. Good luck Mr. Trudeau and everyone else. I hope it's not too late to get this country back on track so we can all enjoy life the way we used to....Peace

Here's an idea, CNN: when Trudeau switches to French, you get a French translator! I wanted to hear what he said in French too! And you have to know by now that whenever the Canadian prime minister speaks, there will be a mix of French and English. Always. Be prepared!

I simply don’t have faith in trudeux. He’s robbed Canadians of money and the truth. He looks like a schoolboy when his dog ate his homework. He done nothing for the Canadians and the new prime minister should look into the bookstore as he has stole money from them he’s crooked.

I’m proud of my prime minister and of my country! ??

I am an American. I hate our government and leaders at this time. Prime Minister Trudeau seems to understand more about what we are going through than our congressmen and senators.

Make no mistake, Prime Minister Trudeau would have said the same things even if he was staying in power for years to come. The truth is the truth!❤

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau for standing up against the evil President that we Americans are stuck with. Love to Canada from an old man in Arizona.

Has everyone forgotten Justin resigned as Prime Minister and has refused to call an election. Justin just stop it, don’t keep Canada hostage. You have had 9 years of corruption and scandals. The Liberals are the problem and destroyed our economy not the US

I wanted to listen to prime minister no your comments

Thank You Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. \nThis is what true leadership is…\nWe ??ALL stand together with you?? in this fight.?

Thank you Prime Minister and Canadian citizens. This is what it will take to stand up to bullish behavior, Trump and his Republican cronies get ready for the American People to hold you accountable during next elections.

How I wish Justin Trudeau continue as the Canadian prime minister good man and good response to that idiot called Donald Trump.

USA president wish he could speak as good as the prime Minister

How I wish Justin Trudeau continue as the Canadian prime minister good man and good response to that idiot called Donald Trump.

What a good speech Prime Minister Trudeau!

America or Americans are backing the Canadian prime minister…..in Gods name when will America know that Mr Trump haven’t had his filter coffee ?❤

Please Prime Minister Trudeau...As an American I am imploring you not to resign Your Country needs you ....But so do we Americans!!!!

Mr.Trudeau is a real inteligent person who remains very calm in such difficult conditions caused by Donald Trump ‼️\nI appreciate and admire Mr Trudeau how he responded to his friend neighbour Donald Trump ‼️\n God bless Canada and his Prime Minister Trudeau with best wishes from Germany ‼️??????✌️??

I could not be more assured,as a Canadian, by the great unscripted,direct speech our leader,Prime Minister Trudeau, has delivered to Canadians and Americans. Everyday people will hurt through this and remember, it will not affect the oligarchy Trump has created, because they can withstand downturns in economies through wealth. His goal is to crush the Canadian economy in the guise of creating better paying jobs for American. Complete unhinged fallacy.

Americans obviously didn’t understand what tariffs are, didn’t get that it’s an import tax which they must pay on goods and products they buy from Canada, a tax which tRump collects from Americans and uses to pay for tax-cuts for the richest citizens. But one more thing Americans don’t get is that before this fateful day an unofficial boycott against ALL US goods has been growing since tRump insulted Canada’s Prime Minister and threatened Canada’s sovereignty—whereas Canada’s official countervails ( which only kicked-in today )only target certain US goods, not ALL of them like ordinary Canadians are doing in growing numbers right now—in fact, the imposition of tRump’s tariffs today has only made the unofficial boycott bigger and more organized. It’s heartening that so many nations have solicited Canada, offering alternative sources for common US exports to Canada —citrus fruits, pharmaceuticals, and other manufactures, to name a few.\n\nI don’t think Canadians even realize how big this unofficial boycott is getting because it’s growing so fast. I’ve never seen a surge in Canadian patriotism like this. Never in my seven decades —which includes the two Referenda on Quebec separation. And there’s a federal election approaching when all partisans will be one-upping each other in the patriotism department—which manifests in more boycotts of US goods and hospitality services.\n\n Americans should know that the unofficial boycott is more harmful to US exporters than the official targeted countervails because it features immediate and longterm diminishment of Canadian purchases of US goods—all retailers know it’s very hard to recover lost customers once they’ve found alternatives (and the added patriotic effect only makes it worse). Included is diminishment of Canadian visits to the USA. Indeed, the internet is replete with testimonies of Canadian”snow birds” not only forgoing their annual sojourn in the Florida or Arizona sunshine but also of selling their properties there with the parting shot, “I will never vacation in the US again!” Already Mexico has seen its visits from Canadians (who have had a modest presence in Mexico for years) surge to unprecedented levels. I know from much-welcomed temp Mexican construction workers in BC (where I live) that they view Canadians completely differently from our mutual US neighbours—and now that affection is growing like never before. \n\nI’m continually amazed at how uninformed Americans are about tariffs—and misinformed by tRump and his goofy, preposterous, and ridiculous fantasy of world-domination. When tRump uses the lame excuse to implement emergency powers —that Canada is “allowing” (as Vance puts it) fentanyl to “pour into the USA”—it’s tantamount to saying Ukraine started the war with Russia. The man is a tendentious liar and narcissistic megalomaniac. \n\nI have faith that the great nation of the USA will reject tRump’s crazy policies—we all just have to hang on and let the needless suffering for both our nations (and the world with regard strategic alliances) play out until he either relents, is swamped in legal repercussions, is impeached, or otherwise removed from office!\n\nGood luck my American and Ukrainian friends!

Would not mind him for our prime minister in Norway! Jonas Støre is incredibly vague and slow.

Thank you Mr. Prime Minister Trudeau, we'll fight this together ??????????\nCanada, strong and free!! ❤
