Brilliant and powerful speech. I love your country and your people Canada!?? All my support !

Brilliant. Work with the EU. We are in the same boat. ❤

NO Teleprompter ! ! ! What a brilliant man. He really knows what he is talking about.

Brilliant speech! Much love and respect to Canada and Canadians and their response! From your neighbor in Washington state.

I do not know if tariffs or Trump's actions are the correct thing to do. But why can't the USA do 25% tariffs, if Canada has 65% tariffs on the USA? Why is Canada demanding the USA support them? Someone please explain it to me. And Trudeau could have picked up the phone and called Trump, this speech was not meant to solve anything. What is so brilliant except to heighten rhetoric and tension? Someone needs to be a grown up but going on CNN and insulting Trump isn't the way.

To me this speech is NOT brilliant, it's phony and disgusting.

Brilliant speech! And very kind to one American considering what is happening now. God help us all!

God Trudeau go Canada brilliant speech ? ? \nFrom Australia ??

Brilliant!!! Well thought out and so well presented! Great work Canada!!!

he wants to conquer canada... hes not worried about his russian allie ships.. telling dolnad all about the new security system at canadas southern border was brilliant.... id also start stockpiling ammo canada, which hurts ukraine... welp arms exports can help fund canada through the trade wars... need help? plenty of NATO countries will help u... UK has some pretty good stuff.

CNN also reports:\nIn a bold and surprising move, Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced that he will be initiating the peace process between Zelenskyy and Trump.\n\nCNN political analyst quoted that this is a brilliant move by Putin!

So stupid Trump just ended relationships with Canada, Mexico, Ukraine and the whole of Europe. Brilliant.

Simple, to the point, factual, and brilliant speech. What the US is doing is starting a fight with the best neighbor you can possibly have, a neighbor who has always supported you. Trump is like Cesar setting fire in Rome.

Hmmmm.... If this isn't going to hurt Canada at all and only hurt the US (ie helping Canada) then why is Trudeau so upset? I think I'm gonna let this one ride out and see how things play out. Trump is a brilliant businessman as is Musk and they understand economics like no other. I am thinking there is more to this than what Trudea is saying.

What a brilliant statesman! I support Canadians ?%.

Trudeau is A Brilliant Example of A True Leader, Canadians I Know you Are Standing Tall And Proud ?????

What a brilliant presentation from the smart, civilized, reasonable, well raised, highly educated and well behaved and polite statesman, Justin Trudeau. Canadians have to be very proud.

What a brilliant speech by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. ❤

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.

Brilliant statesman! Thank you Prime Minister Justin Trudeau!

I hope Justin Trudeau comes back as leader of the Liberals in Canada. Of course he has to do some reflection as to where he might have gone wrong, and to learn from his mistakes. Perhaps learn how to make better decisions in the interest of Canadians. It's brilliant the way Trudeau is handling these crises for his country created by none other than thug, convicted felon/rapist/liar/insurrectionist Drumpf. Justin Trudeau is an educated man who speaks two languages fluently. Drumpf on the other hand is poorly educated and can hardly speak one language which is supposedly to be English. Drumpf can only yell, lie, slander and insult. What an oaf

Brilliant speech! From California here, may we move to live in Canada?

BRILLIANTLY SAID AND DONE, Mr. Prime Minister! BRAVO!\n????????????

I love it! Brilliant, sharp, smart…

Brilliant speech! We stand with Canada. From Srinagar Kashmir

Brilliant. Thank you Canada.

I'm British. This is true, honest, loyal leadership. Absolutely brilliant!!! We stand with Canada, EU, Ukraine and Mexico ?

Brilliant, well said treadeu!

A speech trump could never do….brilliant

Brilliant speech

A brilliant speach. He will be missed as prime minister as the world currently needs leaders like him, who stand up against this weird guy in the south of Canada. \nCanada, we are with you. \nGreetings from Germany.

Brilliant inspiring speech from Trudeau

Brilliant …proud of our pm❤

He is such a Brilliant Leader

Donald is not a smart man of course. But, in terms of approaching a fascist and a criminal, since Canada will be hurt, Trudeau has to be the decent guy he is. Brilliant speech, the best I have heard ever. The guy is poised and knows how to speak. He is smart and compared to him, Trump is incredibly stupid. Bravo. Let me be clear, Trump is a traitor, a bully, a conman, totally lacking in compassion...he is driven by his perverse megalomania and narcissism. He is, in reality a very mentally sick man. And the Republicans are his pathetic cowardly accomplices. Given the continued support, Trump will run American into the gourd, even risk a war to get the attention he needs so badly.

Whatever you think of Trudeau, that was a brilliant speech. Not a rambling rant like comrade dump. Go Canada Go

a brilliant speech from a brilliant statesman

What a brilliant speech. No shouting, no humiliation, facts and a clear plan of action. Dignity and strength expressed calm, precise and civilised. My highest respect for Mr Trudeau and Canada!

Now I see why they want Trudeau for VP. This guy is brilliant.

Brilliant speech by Trudeau?. One of his best speeches ever. A classic. If other leaders called out Trump like this, maybe that would stop him!

Brilliant Canada you told Trump he's a monster

Brilliant!

Putin is eating popcorn, his pan to divide the world using Trump is working brilliantly.

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.

What a speech! Brilliant statesmanship, Mr Trudeau. We in Europe should echo these sentiments and emulate Canada’s response. Respect!!

The start of his speech was brilliant and shows up this skewered Trump style logic...

Brilliant Justin! Your Dad would be so proud of you!!\nLong live CANADA ????

It's difficult working with a Dtrumpster who behaves like a toddler....Thank YOU Mr. Trudeau for your brilliant leadership!

Brilliant speech! M. Trudeau will leave office on a high note.

Gavin Trudeau. Your head is your azz. Brilliant Einstein. Just brilliant.
