his comments about working positively with Russia and appeasing putin are opinions not facts. The fact is WE ARE BROKE. We you me cant afford to be spending money on Ukraine as much as it pains me to say. We are going to go bankrupt and then we wont be able to help ourselves. We cannot continue to spend BORROWED MONEY. Are you willing to have the value of your hard earned dollar to fight a never ending battle. The truth is not a pretty one. Everytime we borrow money the quality of your life and your families diminishes. Not Ok with that. its a fucking struggle out here. and i know it is for you too. Mr Trudeau I think i just made it make sense. We cant afford it. War must end at all costs. or we are fucked.

say what you want about Trudeau, but he hits it home with this speech to the schoolyard bully

Justin Trudeau has just become my big person for standing up to the aggressor. There's no way certainly Trump says Russia did not invade Ukraine. Also, no land is being stolen in SA. Again, why the beef with Canada?

The news “recaps” portion needs fixing: \nDon’t ONLY parrot the vague stuff Trudeau says, but nows the time mention some details as well! \n\nI mean it’s “staged news” & that’s the right thing to do, but offer up some substance too. Ya take plenty of time anyway

U GUYS HAVE INFLICTED 25% TARIFFS WHATS WRONG WITH SAYING A WORD DUMB.... UR ACTIONS HAS REFERENCE IT AS DUMB ALREADY.. DONALD TRUMP WAS DOING FKING DUMB THINGS...... JUSTIN TRUDEAU HAS SAID DUMB IS THE MOST LIGHTWEIGHT RESPECTFUL WORDS FOR DONALD TRUMP, FRIENDS WILL SAYS THAT TOO.....

No one is buying the fentanil pretext. A great speech from Justin Trudeau. I sincerely hope the Americans will wake up and destitute this ''Wanna be Putin'' in Trump along with his mentally challenged vice president. Loved the intervention of former General Wesley Clark. I mean, when you served the US Army as a general, i'm pretty sure this man loves his country and hearing him saying he's totally with Canada in this issue. It's sums it all.

I'm from UK and live and work in Hong Kong. All I can say is well spoken Mr Trudeau. Donald is supporting a dictator by allowing him to steal 20% of Ukraine and now destroyed his closest friendships. This is going to be pivotal as the rest of the world trade with each other, form their own co-operation and cease to abide by WTO rules.

So trudeau is more or less saying that he did a little bit to do something against drug. Like he is giving justifications. Like in scho. Lol. Trudeau justinfication??

Says the guy who froze bank accounts and shut down peaceful protests. Canadians have short memories. This guy is extreme left and dangerous to our democracy. This Liberal government is doing nothing to stop the drugs. Trudeau caused most of the problems. Most Canadians can’t even stand the sound of his voice. He is just inflamed the situation with his rhetoric. Canadians do appreciate the international support.

Trudeau is saying exactly more or less what zelensky was saying when he went into the Trump's den and got mauled by all of the Mega Trump cult conspiracy supporters. I don't know what Kool-Aid they've been drinking but it's betrayal and hazardous to our allies and most of the American people. The only party that gets stronger from this is russia. Our present obviously has been compromised by Vladimir Putin he's a traitor he should be tried for treason. In the end soon he will get his pay back one way or another for causing so much outrage

Can we get that woman in purple to shut up so we can hear what Trudeau is saying?

I may not agree at all with his Gender ideology, but I agree with everything that Trudeau says. I apologize on behalf of the US, Trump the A$$ hat doesn't speak for me or many others. Please remember were not all brainwashed. I understand why your doing this, don't back down.

Trudeau isn't what Rogan says he is. I'm a Canadian with morals and empathy. I was formerly a centrist, possibly right leaning. That has all changed now. \n\nWe have the same far right agenda working to assault Canadian values up north. Americans are being subjected to a fairytale 'mandate' that was swindled with lies and deceit, Trumps 2 favorite tacts.\n\nI'm 40 now. Pretty brushed up on history. I can't fathom why any reasonable person thinks podcasters or real estate agents can govern. \n\nIn the past, swineherds could become Generals, yes. BUT There has to be levels of experience in Governance to handle the responsibility of having lives in ones hand. \n\nDemocracy is the only way, lets not go backwards. FUCK TRUMP, FUCK ELON.

We need Trudeau in this fight ..I don't care what the conservatives say this is the guy to lead when the country is in problems like this

Whoa the fuck just say Trump and maga group not the united state. We for sure are not with Trump nor we'll never be with Russia so just say Trump and maga group Mr. Trudeau I voted for Trump to be impeached

Donald will not listen to Trudeau, no matter what Trudeau said or will say.

Who cares what he has to say the Duke completely destroyed the Canada what do you think about what he did to Canada and all his woke mentality and is transgenderism and his whole whole thing he did to destroy that country with his woke crap World economic Forum crap Joe Biden liberal leftist crap that's what he did and and then who cares what he has to say about what Donald Trump is doing and who cares what he has to say about tariffs who cares what he has to say he's a crook he's a criminal and you left this liberal media want to all Trudeau who cares he's a stupid coward

As a Briton, I would like to say thank you to Mr Trudeau for standing up to the bullies in the White House.\nI will always stand with my Commonwealth brothers in Canada. ??

As an Australian.. I say suck it up Trudeau, you stand for no one but you elitist buddies! You only care about a portion of your country and that's the gullible one's!!!

Did she say harsh language from Trudeau???What a sissy everyone says Trump is. ?? pathetic!

I’ve read a lot of comments from people saying “Trudeau ruined Canada” in response to people expressing their support for Trudeau in this time.\n\nThat’s not really a great point.\n\nIf Trudeau hasn’t been good for Canada, but gives a coherent, inspiring, and professional speech in this moment that unites Canadians and others alike, then that should speak so much to how awful this situation is. Huge respect to Trudeau and Canada for not backing down. I hope one day we’ll be allies with the right side of the world again.\n\nWe wanna talk about a leader ruining a country? That’s what Donald is doing right now. Except he won’t unite us in the future with a speech like this.\n\nThis American stands with Canada!

Thank you Justin Trudeau. I am an American and I am so proud of you. I support everything you say.

To say Trudeau is speaking that bluntly because he’s on his way out is incorrect. He toes the party line and the Liberals have everything to lose. And, this is the same tone that all of the Canadian diplomats are using, including the foreign minister. They’ve had enough.

Funny. Before tariff , drugs were 97% more in dec last month according to his saying..\nDumb guy, Trudeau does not know what he was saying implied that canada was careless last year till Tariff introduced by trump. ya Dumb guy I would say

Wow, this is the first time I've seen Trudeau say sound and good things. When he actually works on sensible action instead of hyper liberal silliness, that's great. He comes across really well here.

Black face Trudeau is a loser. Woke policies and liberal failures has resulted in his complete loss of confidence from his own party. Can you say loser!

Trudeau - zero people care about anything you say and none of it is true. Changing the channel.

It’s hard to imagine anybody caring about what Trudeau has to say. Everybody knows he’s just a flaming liberal

Trudeau got ousted by his own party for how garbage he is. Who cares what he says

You know I’ve been killing myself working non stop for like a decade trying to hold it all together because of all the increased prices of everything. As a result I have not been paying attention. I know the tariff thing was happening, but didn’t know why this was a thing. \n\nShame on me for not being more up to date. \n\nI also know nothing about Trudeau or his political stance on literally anything aside from what he talked about in this video. \n\nI must say this was of speaking is EXACTLY what I expect from a world leader. Everything was delivered very well and without personal emotions. He’s not going off the cuff and saying whatever pops into his head. THIS is the exact style of communication we need from world leaders. I don’t see how it helps anyone, anywhere in the world to have people in control of nuclear armed nations to be shooting from the hip with communication.

Trudeau is an idiot, his words don't matter. If he does not want tariffs he should drop tariffs on America's products. Really simple. The fact that he's resigning means he doesn't even have a say.

have you seen the youtube videos of canadians saying that they didn't mind being part of the usa. Because Trudeau were so incompetent

trudeau all you have done for Canada and Canadians in 10 years is try your best to destroy us. Why should we believe anything you say. How many $ billions have you embezzled? The worst thing is you gave iot to fake agencies overseas that looks like money laundering. NOTHING for Canada or Canadians. I'll steal your words to trump. This and you are REALLY DUMB!

Have to say, I’ve enjoyed watching Trudeau being lambasted on numerous occasions. But this, well done sir. As others have said, this is how grown ups behave. Very impressive.

Not a big fan of Trudeau but i have to say, lately he's doing a good job to hold his own against the VICE PRESIDENT Trump the orange felon!

It would have been better to call the move “ill-advised”. Referring to POTUS by first name and saying it was “dumb” is just going to provoke DJT who everyone, fans and critics alike, knows is vain and does not have the humility to accept insults. It’s Trudeau breaking shtuff on his way out. He doesn’t have the mandate to put us in a worse position; he is being selfish, I think, in taking an unnecessary low-brow jab. Calling it ill-advised or similar gives Trump an out, to pass the buck to Lutnik when it becomes apparent that this tariff idea is a steaming pile for everyone involved.

As much as Trump goes around saying how stupid Biden was, no leader on the global stage has ever spoken to him about his policies the same way that Trudeau just did about Trump. That's how you know MAGA are deluded goons and simpletons.

People can say many bad thing about Trudeau, he's not perfect as a leader, but who is perfect seriously? Conservative party? I don't think Polievre is perfect either, there is no easy way to deal with this, it'S going to cost a LOT of money for Canada to make sure that people and industries survives this...

Trudeau is hated by Canadians. He is no hero. These tariffs make Trump look stupid. Isn't that what Trudeau was saying by calling it a dumb thing to do? It is time for Trudeau to actually resign and leave politics for good.

Thank you Mr. Trudeau, for being such an honorable man. And let me say here: most Canadians, because they are generally more intelligent than most Americans, realize that less than 50% of the US voters voted for the sorry excuse for a leader.

Canada, Australia has your back. Down under we know how great a Country you have. From today I say buy Canadian products and support Justin Trudeau.

As a Canadian, I don't say this often but very well done Mr. Trudeau. We all gotta stand up against this orange balloon.

I would NEVER, I repeat NEVER put any value in what Trudeau has to say about anything! Isn’t he the pot calling the kettle black. I believe when truckers had something to say was it not Trudeau who instead of listening to his citizens did he not freeze truckers personal bank accounts. Doesn’t he alway have his hand in the cookie jar. He gets an A for effort but to wage war financially or physically with America will be the single worst knee jerk reaction anyone has made. America isn’t trying to wage a war. Our purpose is to get as many countries off of our nipple as possible. We pay so much as citizens. Hopefully Trudeau changes his thought process.

stfu Trudeau....just fkn leave for the love of God already......can't stand looking at you and hearing anything you say.

Trudeau hasn’t always had strong leadership here; however, I will say that today he has earned much respect from fellow Canadians. It’s a shame that in this fight the only winners will be Russia and China

Did that woman literally say that Trudeau was being harsh have you ever heard Donald Trump talk about anybody have you ever heard him talking about Trudeau Donald Trump is straight up disrespectful and makes fun of people to their f****** faces on national camera but yet you say Trudeau was using harsh words when he was being polite as can be

I wish Democratic leaders in America would speak to the public like this -- explain what Trump is doing and why it's harmful to America. Democrats keep saying they're not in power, but why don't they use the power of the microphone every single day. This was a powerful statement by Trudeau.

Trump is sending the world into a tail spin. Just to say he's Putins friend. America will find a whole new world with Russia and China. I feel for the American public who are watching their life go down the gurgler.....even the ones who think he's doing a good job ...won't take long for the peanut to drop in the hole. We'll spoken Trudeau. We'll done canada ??

I wish the news reporters would let us listen to what Trudeau is saying and stop interrupting and putting in their own 2 cents! Just let us listen to Trudeau's speech, and THEN throw in your 2 cents.

So you say governor trudeau
