Trudeau is speaking truth to power, and he is clear as glass that this mindless alienation of Canada is going to rebound on Americans. Teudeau is a REAL LEADER. Unlike one in Australia. Every Aussie PM cows down and boot licks for Yankeeland. Neither major party could ever really stand up to Trump the Dumb Dump if he hurt our economy. Limp lettuce government that is so America dominated down under, where I live.

This dude only speaks truth.

He speaking the truth ?

Nice speech Mr Trudeau. Funny how politicians always start speaking truth only AFTER they decide to leave office ...... One of the best was Pres. Eisenhower's farewell speech and very apropos today.....

Must say: at least he speaks truth!

Thank you PM Trudeau, for speaking the truth.

Wow an eloquent leader speaking the truth. Oh imagine if we had a leader like this. Canada, please forgive the US for the crap storm we created.

For the educated among us, anybody care to go into detail about why Canada is in probate and maybe speak some actual facts and truth

Trudeau speaks truth in such an eloquent and coherent manner that what he says is indisputable. Thank you Canada, and sorry for the #$&! Where's our Trudeau?

Thank you for speaking truth to power! ?

Absolutely true. How nice to listen to a leader who speaks truthfully and intelligently. My great grandfather was Canadian, he would have been so proud of you.

We here in Detroit love Canada. We are ashamed of our president and his buddies, Putin and Musk. And we are so jealous of the Canadian leaders who actually speak like intelligent people and tell the truth. And why is Trump trying to blame our neighbors for our own citizens' drug abuse? Americans created the drug cartels, gave them all the money and all that power. .

Everyone trynna make Putin look like the bad guy, if you really look into the reason Russia invaded Ukraine u will understand look at Robert f Kennedy video he speaks the truth, Ukraine was killing Russian speaking people from Ukraine because they banned that language he invaded for many different reasons but you people don’t do your research u guys are blindsided lol

OMG I love this!! ❤ Speaking truth to an utter ? ASSHOLE !! ?? if only EVERYONE would talk to Trump that way. ?? ❤️!!

I don't care what side of the fence you sit on. I did not need to hear this man speak to already know Canada was, but may yet be, our greatest ally and trading partner. I have no idea what possessed Mr. Trump to decide to stab our allies in the back, but it was not something good. 27.5% of voting age adults voted for him. How many of them were serenaded by hollow promises and a good slogan. Perhaps all of the mud slinging and Russian media interference helped? If you add in our more studious teenagers, truly reformed felons, and immigrants who actually deserve a gold card, that number plummets to less than 25%. I won't ask people to wake up, if you are reading this you are already more than capable of finding out that I speak only the hard truth. This means less than a quarter of america wanted this. This means your vote and opinions DO count. I know it is incredibly difficult to reach for and find answers in a world where your president or primary candidate throws 'fake news' in your face on a regular basis. He is actually telling the truth. When he is not telling you is that he is a primary enabler of 'fake news'. To him, only his word is law, only his opinion matters, only he deserves to be on top, and he deserves authority over all of your lives. Do the right thing, we all have a civil duty to understand our candidates to the very best of our ability. When a man has been convicted of dozens of felonies, and we tell you that this is only what we were willing to expose. You may want start believing us. The genuine facts of his past are unilaterally corrupting to our children and good people alike. Do not let the american people repeat their mistakes, force Mr. Trump to atone for his mistakes. No not empower him to sweep them under the rug for the sake of his own arrogance, because that is exactly what he is doing by trying to dismantle the CIA and FBI. These two institutions are shining examples of America's pursuit of freedom and justice. Freedom to keep billionaires from corrupting the morals of our children. Freedom to know that the rule of law is immutable, our constitution is not just a paper with fancy traditional sentiment. Even if the law may sometimes be bent for the sake of decency, forgiveness, and the pursuit of 'united we stand', our constitution cannot. Amendments require the FULL support of nearly all Americans, not 27.5% of unrestricted adults.

He’s speaking the truth!

Well done Mr Trudeau, you had the courage to speak truth and take necessary actions that’s good for your nation & your citizens.. facts & numbers ,

Drumpf's best friend is the Russian monster.he is screwing American business people,farmers,builders, and every other American citizen.Thank you for speaking the truth,his worshippers will not believe you,but the rest of us know what is truth.\n And I love Canada,God bless and protect you all.I did not vote for the orange menace,he is now trying to blame the effects of his decisions on the previous administration.

He is so right. Glad you speak the truth. It’s so sad America has turned out to be like this. It’s disappointing. Praying for America & the innocent people.

Speaking the truth. I'ma nationalistic American and Canadian PM Trudeau is speaking the truth that we all wanna hear after what our own US president did to ruin America and make our lives worse. I fully support Canada now.

Mr. Trudeau speaks the truth. Trump is insane.

Thanks Trudeau for speaking the truth. The US is insane right now. I don't think trumpers understand tariffs.

I have lived in Canada for almost 50 years.. The United States of America has been our closest neighbour and friend ever since I came here.. \nLong before I came here Canada and the US were partners… \nWe relied on each other, we supported each other and we profited from each other..\nLet me make it perfectly clear I consider myself Canadian and I love the Americans like they were my own brothers and sisters.. \nAlso let it be known that our government does not speak for the citizens of this country… \nWe are being forced by the government to follow the rules. And now our government wants the American people to believe that all Canadians are against them. \nThat couldn’t be any further from the truth. \nI can’t say every single Canadian has respect for the Americans, but I myself respect America and honour Canada.. \nAs a true Canadian, we stand on guard for both countries.. God bless America…

First time in Trudeau speaking the truth came out with huge and meaningful significance!!

You need to stop watching the mainstream media! Perhaps then you would know what the facts are! \nOops, nevermind, you know the truth, you're just too disgusting to speak it!!!

Now he is a true LEADER who speaks the truth!! Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau!

If you are an American citizen and you are siding with Canada, you are a TRAITOR!!! As an American, a woman of African descent and an immigrant, I 100% understand why my President has taken the hard but necessary decisions that he took. It is time for other citizens of the world to realize that the USA is NOT HEAVEN, and America is NO SANTA CLAUS!!! This country has wayyyyy tooo many problems to continue with the foolish foreign and economic policies that we have pushed in the past...CNN it is about time you start speaking truth!!!

Thank You for speaking the truth as an American I am proud of you Mr President Trudeau ?????????

Now that's a leader. Thank you, Trudeau for standing strong and speaking truth in the face of USA doing nothing but Russia's bidding. I am so ashamed of my county for allowing this to take over.

Thanks for saying what needs to be said and speaking the truth - Go Canada

8:06 AST yes, Mr Trudeau, we don’t like this either. Thank you for speaking on behalf of the American people. You speak the truth. We are under seize by an authoritarian government. God bless you and Canada.

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau! You speak truth to power... How in the hell did America go so LOW... I didn't vote for the American Dictator!!!

This man speaks the truth and so articulately with grace and class. This is a true leader.

Speaking truth to stupidity

New Zealander here . . . Justin Trudeau speaks with truth, strength, and integrity.

THIS IS A LEADER! This is how a leader should speak. Without an ounce of arrogance but full of factful compassion. Truth be told, Mr Trudeau is one of my favourite leaders of a country. He may have issues, but which leader doesn't right. Look at what Trump is doing now. Great speech, Sir. I feel so proud of ??.

Nice to see a leader who speaks in an articulate, truthful, factural manner. So refreshing! Th donald should grow up and take note. This is how leaders act.

You say you want to work with us hell yall have been getting over on us so you saying it’s ok for you to charge us more money for trade but where not supposed to charge yall don’t just speak half the truth

An intelligent, civil and respectful leader that is sincere and speaks the truth against the US administration lies. Trudeau cares about the Canadian people and the American people. That's admirable!

Thank you Canada for being Canada. We/US love you. Please continue to speak truth. I am ashamed of our government.

First time I’ve heard Trudeau speak the truth. Although it has been Trudeau’s economic policies that essentially brought about the tariffs- particularly the depreciating Canadian dollar caused by Trudeau’s policies. Not to mention Trudeau’s admission that Canada’s border was porous for drugs.

Speak your truth Mr. Prime Minister! Let the whole world hear it. Trump is NOT MY PRESIDENT. I have never and will never vote or support him.

We in America hear you Justin Trudeau and know that you speak truth. We stand in support of our wonderful Canadian neighbors and friends.

Thank you PM Trudeau for speaking truth to power. We need more leaders like you in USA.

Thanks to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's leadership, speaking clearly in whole sentences, calling out DJT lies, untruths & fallacies while outlining & correcting w' facts & truths... DJT utilizes deceptiveness to gaslight Americans increasingly less effectively... More Americans are opening their eyes & ears... unfortunately some not... Hopefully soon.\n>> Trudeau calls out Trump aligning America w. PUTIN--Russia, a Dictator, thug & murderer, and displacing historical allies & friends..\n>> Fentanyl is manufactured in China; shipped in bulk to Mexican Cartels, etc, to prep for the American Markets--Why hasn't Trump stopped it now he's in charge of the borders. \nRECALL SYCOPHANTS from Congress--Replace w' patriots to impeach Trump-Vance & prosecute them w/ Musk, DOGE & all who are violating our laws accessing & deconstructing our Govt.

A leader who speaks simple truth in plain language. How refreshing.

As an American, thank you Canada for speaking the truth and not hiding and kissing trumps ass. Thank you for your help in mobilizing the American people.

Breath of fresh air to listen to a national leader speak clearly--and more to the point--truthfully. Listen to this guy.

Washington State resident USAmerican citizen here. I love my many Canadian friends and neighbors. I will continue to speak and work for truth and justice, against the insane lies and damaging actions promulgated by our president and other horrible, greedy people who are destroying the good in my country. Thanks PM Trudeau, for modeling what a statesman and leader sounds like. DT won’t care, but perhaps some of his supporters here will.

We need the help from our friends to speak the Truth, clear and loud. Thank you PM Trudeau. The only winner here is Putin. He gets to pit our Allies against us while destroying Russa's biggest adversary (or we were). This is insane, idiotic and hopefully my fellow Americans will wake up and turn this around before it takes hold. Congress needs to do their job and stop the Executive Orders we are not an authoritarian nation (yet). Stand with Mexico, Canada, Ukrain and the rest of the Free Democratic world.
