Hey, here, from Germany.\nHave been to Canada as a young guy several times and loved it.\nI`m impressed of how you react and how Doug Ford and Trudeau stepped up.\nUnfortunaletly we Germans lately elected the wrong guy as chancellor in my opinion, I hope he can handle it anyway.\nGo Canada, eh!

I’ve been opposed to Trudeau since he came into power. I’ve always thought of him as a deluded maniac. But this speech was really impressive…. Well done.

Dont ever give in to the Authoritarian regime . I am so impressed that PM Trudeau was so frank with everyone. It is true, Trump wants to weaken Canada so that he can annex us. I suspected that he used the Pentenyl excuse and illegal migrants as a legal front to impose tariffs on us. We really should shut down the electricity.

Im impressed MAGA. I didnt think people as stupid as you could exist, then you voted to have your money stolen and given to billionaires and create mass unemployment around the country. Keep up the good work!

wow im impressed with my prime minister Justin Trudeau, he killed it mic drop moment on Donald, spoke to the american people the canadian people and launched his counter attack. I hope Donald soon realizes his mistake.

Wow. This is the kind of leader our world need. Very impressive speech.

Very impressed with him. Very smart and articulate. Presentation of the issue very well articulated.

As an American I am impressed by Canada ! They truly have an intelligent grown-up for a president. No name calling just clear honest truths !

American here. Those of us who aren’t part of the Trump cult apologize so badly for this. We hate this. We are heartbroken to see our country kick its allies to the curb and be a bully to impress Putin and Russia. And we are afraid of what’s to come. Please teach Trump and MAGAs a lesson in both economics and what it means to be an honorable good person again.

I've taken issue with Trudeau's handling of several issues but he's been very impressive since Trump put him on the spot.

This speech is unbelievable impressive!!!! Wish there would be more guys like Mr Trudeau, his words got me 100% and I hope something or somebody stops this crazyness and incompetence of this so called President of the US. It is really sad and insane what‘s going on between the US and their allies. Greetings and good vibes from Germany!

Very impressive

Wow, for the first time I’m impressed by Trudeau. Mmmm?

I can't believe Russia is beating the US like this. Props to them, it's quite impressive

Im actually impressed that trump has managed to unite the world; granted the world is united against him but its still impressive

As a anti Trudope I'm actually impressed by his speech today, but make no mistake he's trying to stir up the relationship between Trump and the American ppl all to make his party look good to us.

Impressive

I gotta say that I'm not a liberal nor have I been a particular fan of Justin Trudeau... but today (and for the last few weeks) I've been quite impressed by my Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau. This Canadian supports a vast and vicious trade war against the United States. I do not have any hatred for the American people but I do have nothing but contempt for Trump and his band of traitorous scum! I wouldn't have dreamed that our closest friend and ally could be siding with an enemy proclaimed (Russia) against democratic nations. Trump represents an existential threat to democracy everywhere and must be put down by the American people like a rabid dog!

Let’s all fight together during this time of uncertainty\nI am very impressed of Trudeau speech.

Wow, a truly impressive speech! Thank you so much for standing up against the bullying Trump-administration. These dangerous clowns are about trying to dismantle democracy and freedom all over the western world.\nMe and my family were planning to visit USA for vacation this summer. After the shameful White House -meeting last Friday these plans were immediately abandoned. We now decided that we are going to Canada instead. \nGreetings from Switzerland

Not Impressed

This guy is a true leader! I'm so impressed!

Impressive Trudeau's speech. Standing with Canada. ❤??

Very impressive! Canada said, you can go kick rocks!?

As a Canadian, I regret rootibg for Trump and as a non -Trudeau follower, I was quite impressed with this speech.

Trudeau is extremely impressive in government actions and in communicating as simply as possible to the people of USA, to explain what is happening and to implore that they pressurise their rotten Trump government. This is an attack on a very friendly government with 25% tariffs on everything but just 10% on China?? This is an attack to try to destabilise Canada to help in taking the country over. It won't work and everyone will suffer or lose.

Like Trudeau, perhaps Trump will impress the world (after all he is a genius you know) by speaking in French and Spanish BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH.

From the UK, this is an impressive speech. Sadly the Trump cultists will quadruple down.

Impressive, dignified, fact based leadership. We ?? support you Canada ?? ❤❤❤

Mr. Trudeau, this is how a true leader of the free world would speak. I'm deeply impressed.

As a Canadian, and not a Trudeau voter, I am very impressed with our prime minister the last few months. \nWe will not back down. And we will NEVER be American

An impressive statement by Trudeau: statesmanlike.

one of the most impressive, measured political speeches I've ever heard.

Trudeau is the most impressive leader of the Western world. If only Canada could join the EU.

Your Prime Minister is very, very impressive, a true Staatsmann :).

So impressed with him lately he admits he wish he would done things differently in past . We’re not perfect . He shows true Canadian leader ship . We got to stay together . ??????????

This is just a sampling of what happens when you elect an official do the highest office in the land while this individual Donald Trump is Holden s official position as dog catcher is out of his ability. The issue on fentanyl, is a intoxicant that will not and cannot be defeated. This is a total failure on the government's inability to protect its own citizens that is their number one job.. The only solution that I have heard that remotely makes any sense is the Cato institute conclusion that the wisest route to go is completely legalization with age restrictions. While this may not be the desired outcome it's the only one that I see that makes any sense whatsoever it seems that when a solution like this offered so many individuals who have no gravitas in this matter will come back to the same nonsensical bulshit that they're going to stop the flow that is absolutely impossible. However we will continue on that course and we will continue to fail. The Cato Institute was initially funded by the Koch brothers a extremely conservative organization that gets together a group of the brightest and the best in trying to determine what is the best solution.the Koch brothers were the group that invented the tea party I would love for anybody who disagrees with this post. I would like anybody who thinks that this is a far-fetched idea ,all I ask is that if you disagree with the finding that it should be legal with age restrictions if you disagree I would like to hear a solution that you have in mind that you think is better than the Cato Institute finding. I am under the impression that you do not have anything that remotely resembles a solution to this terrible problem. Right off the bat, with uality control, you'll stop hundreds of thousands of deaths. All of the issues that are being dealt with are just so screwed up because we've already been through this before. After making a constitutional amendment to ban the manufacturing of alcohol it was reversed and I hope that the country realize that we cannot win this battle with the same mindset. The only reason why fentanyl is such a dangerous intoxicant is because there's no quality control. Also the cartels are not affected negatively \nBy allowing the government deal with this problem. the end result would be not only do you save lives but you also have put a very negative Spike through their heart of the cartel in the pocketbook. Incense elan musk & DOGE cost cutting measures since this War on drugs has caused over a trillion dollars and no 6:28 results. The DEA does not remotely live up to its mission statement and has failed every year since that policy was put in place. I would love to hear any feedback and a solution that is remotely possible.. let's hear some original ideas that the country would benefit from.. the ball is in your court.

I am impressed with his speaking n communication skills, unlike our simple 3 syllable limited vocabulary leader?

Well said, not a big Trudeau guy but I'm impressed. Pierre will bow down to Trump in an instant.

I'm impressed with Trudeau, how on earth he managed to keep a straight face when making that comment I'll never know !

Very impressed with President Trudeau. Articulate, honest. Stand strong together Canada. Americans are with you. Not with Donald \nTrump! Your Prime Minister is to be congratulated. \nThis is madness!!!!! \nBut we will right the ship!!\nDon’t give in to him!

Here in the UK, we see and hear very little from Trudeau, but we’ve seen and heard quite a bit from him since last Friday’s White House debacle… Been VERY impressed with him, what he has said and how he has said it… Especially using Trump’s own “big things’ language…

I'm irritated. Re Trudeau's speech this morning, I want to comment on it. I want to say that I'm not a Trudeau fan, but his response to Trump this morning was excellent and I'm impressed. However... EVERY damn CBC YouTube page has comments turned off. WTF?

This is a real LEADER! I am very impressed by Prime Minister Trudeau and very jealous that we do not have such a first-class leader in Germany!

You and your country are admirable! I am an American and I completely oppose what the Trump administration is doing with these tariffs. I will be buying Canadian and Mexican whenever possible, and have changed my European vacation plans to spend my vacation dollars in Canada this spring and in Mexico this fall.\n\nI am impressed with the alternative trade agreements Canada is developing. Too many Americans are willfully ignorant and do not understand the negative effects that tariffs and trade wars have. They will learn soon enough!

Very impressive speech!

Sweden here. Wasn't too impressed by Trudeau before. That changed today. He stands up and tells it like it is. That was a GREAT speech. As of today i forgive Canada for the times you beat us in hockey.

The problem is you! Trump can’t stand you get out of Canada Traitor. Go live with your handlers that impressed you so much the Chinese. Let me be Cristal clear to you when faced with a sad reality as to who will puppet Canada I choose, I pick the USA over China any day traitor. you’re an embarrassment to your father now get out of town.

This is how a leader should speak. Impressive.

Wow I really didn't think he had it in him, I'm surprised and slightly impressed. I am a PROUD Canadian and I will fight for my country any way I have to
