I live in the best country in the world and I have the best Prime Minister in the world. I couldn’t be more proud of Justin Trudeau. We will fight and we will come together. That’s what Canadians do.

Trump is (clinically) a malignant narcissis. Hi personality needs to be fed by a constant flow of accolades from his chosen lackeys. He is so easily played by people whispering in his ear that he is being slighted (Zelensky and Trudeau, even if it is imaginary. It is ridiculous that America has allowed this to come about by their majority of incredibly ignorant voting populace. Starmer showed how to handle Trump. Grovelling and obsequious flattery. Noting else. We are dealing with a President of the USA who has a low IQ even lower EQ (think of a vindictive 10 year old). He has sly animal cunning for sure but that's it. We have 4 years of this moron, God knows what damage he can cause. The thing that motivates him ? Challenges, aspirational acts of benevolence ? Don't be silly tuckers and lovers, it's lovely money, as much as is endlessly possible. Is that the American dream? Is that what makes this English speaking nation tick. Looks very much like it.

I'm not Canadian but I love Canada. Awesome people, awesome country. I'm 100% on your side. Trudeau rocks - he's smart, intelligent and honest. Please keep him as PM. Come to Europe, come to Australia & NZ. We love you guys, The tariffs are outrageous and disgusting and total kudos for standing up to the bully.

Please don’t resign Trudeau we the Canadians need you right now. I don’t want Trump to have Canada ?? I am with Trudeau all the way when it comes to saving our country. Please Canadians we the ones who were born in Canada ?? don’t want US to take over our country and make it part of US do we?? \nI am so proud that our Government Trudeau is speaking out to Trump . ????

The title is misleading. I thought he actually went to the USA and confronted Trump in person, but apparently not. This doesn’t really count. Come on, Trudeau! Go face Trump! Anyone can give a speech nowadays it seems. it takes a real leader to confront him. At least Macron, Starmer and Zelensky had balls to face trump.

Trudeau can shove his talk to Americans! We aren’t idiots that he appears to treat Canadians as! \nTrudeau is in the hands of China! It is so obvious he looks completely pathetic! We know that only 1% of shipping containers coming into Canada are screened! Think you might want to check those “Containers” Justin! If there’s one thing that Americans have learned, “Liberals Lie”! They do it constantly! Oh and Justine, that’s “President Trump” to you, you pos! \nAt no time has Trump kissed up to Putin! You have to talk to both Parties when trying for peace! You can’t ignore one side in a war! Trudeau is a corrupt lying creep! Are you still wearing the friendship Bracelets from Brittany Spears Concert?! Soon you will be forgotten among Canadians and the rest of the World!

Me coming to hear Trudeau and learning that Canadians want to separate from each other. Now I need to get the tea.

Trudeau has taken over 9 years but he’s finally come up with a balanced sober speech!

Both Trudeau and Zelensky openly state that Trump's actions will lead to poverty in the USA and weaken the country so much on the international stage that no one will want to cooperate with the US anymore, fearing that when the day of trial comes, the US will betray them—just as Trump did! Unlike Trump, Europe did not betray the USA on its day of trial when NATO's Article 5 was invoked to help the US fight ISIS. Europe sent its soldiers, who died for the USA. And today, Trump claims that this does not matter, that he does not recognize Europe because it supposedly took advantage of him. So I ask, who took advantage of whom? Because so far, I see a deceitful man doing everything that terrorist Putin wants. God, protect America so that its children do not have to fight for freedom, as Ukraine is doing today in defense of American ideals—which, for Trump, mean as much as toilet paper in his golden toilets...

Canadians have memory holed the last 8 years of Trudeau running Canada into the ground Trump is a gift to Trudeau who comes out looking good. We are living in an 80s action movie with a dumb script that all comes together at the end with some low grade cheep chest thumping bravado

Uncle Trudeau yes! Please! I need the rest of World Leaders to come out stand up to Donald Quack just like this! He’s right, this is exactly what PUTIN wants to happen, for everything to fall apart on the Western part of the Globe.

We Americans know how to deal with this Mr Trudeau. Do something good for your own people before you come on us.

Trump is the man, Trudeau is a eunuch. Suck it up Liberals, let NATO enjoy the loss! They deserve every loss that is coming their way. I support strong Republicans and the USA unconditionally. Let Canada become the 51st as soon as possible!

The time has come to out-bully the bully. Appeasement will do nothing. Great speech, Mr. Trudeau. I hope our other allies do the same. Love from NY.

Much respect PM Trudeau. I’m an American with Canadian roots as my parents were born and raised in Alberta. Your message was spot on and I’m truly embarrassed and ashamed of our current leadership and the decisions they are making. I hope that someday they will come to their senses. In the meantime thank you for being a true statesman and leader in these difficult times.

Many thanks to Trudeau. I just love it, World Democracy Leaders like Trudeau, Macron, Keir Starmer and many more EU leaders will come to the aid of Americans to show just how Corrupt and Deranged Trump is and, he can't threaten or fire them. Trump's actions WILL trigger a unification of EU Countries with Canada and any other country that Trump threatens. Tesla EVs won't be purchased, EU and Canadian Satellites won't be launched by US companies, and you'll see EU and Canadian Defense company R&D funding and sales take-off as new Trade agreements are made between these other countries that Severely hurt the US Economy in numerous ways which, just maybe, some since into the total Nut-Job, Scum-Bag, multi-Felon and Rapist named Donald.

Canadian here, and I just want to adivse my American friends to not believe a word that comes out of Trudeau's mouth.

Hey Trudeau. I don’t believe anything that comes out of your mouth. You have had a decade to improve things and you have done nothing but the complete opposite on purpose. Go away!

another stupid game by USA, just as they did against russia, and failed in Ukraine...the USA is trying to smoke everyone out in Canada and Mexico, and make it one big country, with maybe Greenland scoop up later..Russia doesnt wont more land, just no missiles on its border, like USA didnt want them in Cuba...This world could really be something if we didnt have these old dudes from a bygone era, still wanting to be number one in the world, when we all live on the same planet...They are still scared of Reds under the bed..they have sycceeded in getting rid of Trudeau, he will be gone, just when he is coming to life...The USA is like a rabid dog now, they foam at the mouth thinking they are the leader of the west world, what a joke..they are all liars and cheats, and dont even tell their own public the truth..if only we all settled down and acted like good neighbours, how good the world could be

This isn’t about fentanyl this is Diaper Don holding grudge against Juston Trudeau. He hates anyone that threatens him when it comes to power. Trump has been in bed with Russia since he was a young man. He is a Russian sympathizer and always has been. I am sure his father Fred was too. Why else has not one Trump ever served our country in war time and peacetime. He call veterans suckers and losers He is a traitor to our country and selling out our country out. Time to stop the carnage he is inflicting on this great nation by having him removed by any way our military can take him out. Otherwise Putin and Trump together will destroy our nation along with other great nations due to their thirst for power, land, and riches.

This is actually Trudeau fault because he allowed the flow of 500,000 illegals into Canada and trump wants no part of it. Trudeau needs to step down gracefully, again. This speech he just gave is nonsense. He’s always lied and been lying to the Canadian citizens. Now all of a sudden he’s a hero because he trying to fix something HE CREATED lol. Trudeau. Please just go away, and never come back

Its too bad that PM Trudeau couldn't come to the U.S. and run our country as president! Having a hostile lil' man girl as president has been so stressful for all Americans everyday 2017-2021 so its getting even worse than back then day by day!

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.

Please Please Please DO NOT RESIGN! Trudeau should continue be our leader. He is smart! He is the best! But US has to change one Law, the one where Obama can come back to lead US. He was the best president of US history! Ever! Trump has to go. He lost it... I cant believe how anyone voted for him anyways, but what's done is done. Fix it now.

Im Canadian, true Blue conservative, and dot usually like what comes out to Trudeau's mouth, but was very happy to hear his words today...\nOver the past couple decades I have spent tens of thousands of my $$'s in the US.. Sadly not any more.. Sadly we will be staying home and will be standing firm....

All you US dems liberal cnn brainwashed morons speaking good about Trudeau is hilarious. This idiot has destroyed Canada that's why he and his libtards is getting the boot come election. Liberal woke idiots

Trudeau slapping a brain cell tell the American people that you're going to do everything you can possibly do to stop drugs coming into our country and killing people

Trudeau and Carney ate the Trump of the left.... don't believe one word coming out of this guys mouth. He's been putting tariffs on his own citizens for almost a decade in the form of a Carbon Tax. And it's set to go up again soon. Fuck Trudeau. They've. prorogued government during the time we need them the most to avoid a vote of none confidence because they're cowards making back room deals to benefit them and not Canadians. This is a show from a drama teacher that his handler Carney told him to put on. We need an election in a bad way.

Here, here, Trudeau! This American agrees wholeheartedly with you. Let's make peace at home - the internal peace that comes with freedom from financial worry - a priority.\n\n(I'm still wondering when we'll start feeling great. I'm just feeling embarrassed.)\n\nOh, and here's what I feel is a fair look at tariffs, including sections about what can make tariffs profitable. \n\nhttps://youtu.be/K0V8kZyl1T0

What a sad little character Trudeau is. Like a stray poodle in the rain. What were Canadians thinking ever voting for this has been party clown. You almost deserve what’s coming to you with this trade war. It’s gonna wreck your economy

This was the best speech Prime Minister Trudeau ever gave, hands-down. As a Canadian, I pray for President Trump to come to his senses. May Canadians and Americans stick to our long and enduring friendship and not let politicians divide us. ✊️

Today I am a senior living in Beautiful Vancouver Canada ?? \nI am fortunate to be here because my Uncle as a young man \nGrowing up in Belfast paid a fee of 10dollars to qualify \nFor Passage to Toronto . He started work as a Navy on the railway\nHe told the story of standing on the pavement at Bloor street watching \nThe building of The Royal York getting built \nHe promised himself one day He would have a steak dinner there\nWhich was very ambitious .\nHe worked long and hard til his retirement at age 60yrs\nHe kept his promise not only to have a steak dinner there\nBut he became wealthy and was a Patron until he died in 1982\nHis encouragement for myself my two brothers with our families \nalso our widow mother\nTo come to Canada proclaiming to his dying day\n*Canada to be The Best Country in The ? World\nWhat a privilege to live in this wonderful democratic Land \nSo proud of our President Justin Trudeau \nMary Canada ??

Can i vote for Trudeau to come and be the president of the United States?

Most of you dont know what's going on Trudeau has a bad approval rating and there is more to the story. Trump is fighting on your side Americans yet you fight against him. You want lower prices but think that comes from debt of the US you want less drugs but belive the president that has free use in their country to do any drug imaginable right next to the border.

this coming from the guy that admires chinas basic dictatorship.. f**k Trudeau

Trump should put a warrant for arrest out for Trudeau ! If he comes to the US they should lock him up

Kudos to the PM Trudeau for speaking out against Trump tariffs. Mr. Trudeau sees what the Trump voters fail to see prior to the elections. Trump is using the excuse of stopping drugs coming into the country. When in reality his tariffs will only benefit corporations. These tariffs will be passed down to the consumers who will pay for them. If everyone who voted for Trump weren't deaf and blind we would not have to now worry more about inflation and higher prices. All those who blamed Biden for increased prices should have looked back at the pandemic that Trump failed to acknowledge.

Trudeau and socialist Europe are locked in with our scum bag Dems and are only coming out of the wood work now because Zelenskyy was a rude little tyrant and got called out for it.

Thanks for what you've been doing lately, Trudeau. Come by for a beer sometime

lol to those seeing Trudeau speak for the first time and coming to the conclusion that because he’s easy on the eyes, and is articulate that he is somehow competent. Dude just resigned as leader of his party and has driven Canada into the ground.

I am Canadian, Trudeau is full of crap. We only inspect 1% of shipping containers in our major ports. Thats why we don’t find any drugs coming and going from our country. Most cities have massive drug problems

I get all the commentary lifting Trudeau up but when i heard that he is like on his last couple of days of his term i couldn't help but feel that noone so far anyways has come out and let lose with the hard hitting, proper Grammer and clean nice language be dammed, no not anyone to speak to this wannabe hard guy which this guy absolutely is not - trust me , and i get it he is 80 years old, but if you watch him in his 60s and 50's and going back to his youth he never could bust a grape; just all bluster , daddy's money, and when it came time to pay some rent .. he'd pay someone else to do it. A coward thru and thru.

Canada has been raping America for years. Now someone comes along, puts a halt to it, and they don't like it? No justification? Take a look more closely Mr. Trudeau.

Being it's come down to this division and dealing with Traitor Trump I am sure Trudeau's relieved his role as Prime Minister is quickly coming to an end.

My heart hurts watching this. As an American, I respect and agree with Prime Minister Trudeau. Canada has been a kind and generous ally, and our current government leaders are just coming up with excuses for this stupid ass trade war. \n\nI am so sorry to all the Canadian citizens whom this negatively impacts. I hope you will show grace to those of us who voted against Trump and who continue to stand up to this tyrant.

Nice speech PM Trudeau. .. Concise and level headed unlike the rambling gibberish coming from the orange clown that inhabits the Oval office. Trump for some reason hates America and wants it in a weakend state . Trump doesn't see himself as president but as a an autocratic ruler like Putin. Trump=Putin's stooge and UI

Americans who are listening to\n\nCould you please tell your premier Trump\nTo quit referring to our PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU \nAs a Governor\n\nVERy DISRESPECTFUL\nBut than again it’s coming from the Biggest Dictator in the world\n\nGOD BLESS CANADA\nKEEP CANADA GREAT\nTHE GREATEST FREE COUNTRY IN THE WORLD \n✝️??✝️??✝️??✝️??

Has governor Trudeau not accepted the order from his boss President Trump yet, at making Canada Americas new state? ? I’m being sarcastic btw. I love Canada and dying for some poutine. I guess Burger King and some other burger chains here in Denmark comes close with their loaded fries, but it’s just not the same. The color of are flags are the same though. This is Trudeaus best speech, I always thought he was an idiot until today. Canada, je taime❤

Damn. How come we don't have a single Dem Rep or Senator that can make near as clear and sharp a case as this ? Go Trudeau !

What a strong, fact based response. Never been more proud of Trudeau. Trump has chosen to start a trade war that is going to hurt Americans the most. Let's join hands to support local businesses by buying local when possible, even when it hurts the pocket. Standing strong with Canada ?? . We will come out strong ???
