The only mistake Trudeau made was calling Trump a smart man.But I guess he was trolling him and appealing to Trump's fragile ego.

I’m so sorry ?. This is a Trump thing. Most Americans don’t want this bullshit either. You watch Mr. Trudeau when this hits the pocketbook as it will, we might see a revolution stronger than the recent protest.

Well done, PM Trudeau. This American stands by your choice. It was an excellent speech because yes, our government has indeed chosen this economic violence where we, The People, will suffer and the oligarchs will benefit without a care.

Awwwwwwwwww! Trudeau. Leave already. Resign. POILIEVRE IS IN THE BATTERS BOX PEOPLE.\n\nLet is hear from him now. Get the Pedophile off of the soap box.

I hate Trudeau as a Canadian I would love to see Poilievre take over for Canada, But i don't see what options other than retaliatory tariffs. Trudeau did the right thing really the only thing in regards to this as much as it pains me to say.

I never voted for Trudeau, but it is hard not to admire him after this speech. He makes Trump look just like he is.. an old, ugly, out-of-shape, and very, very stupid fool. The last thing Canada needs right now are bootlicking Conservatives like Pierre Poilievre. And on a final note.. Trudeau was wrong, Donald is NOT a smart man. He is an utter imbecile.

Remove your tariffs on USA goods, Mr. Trudeau, please ? it would be a good start

Finally far left policy Trudeau has back bone. Stay strong fight back,

Spoken like a true drug addict. Didn’t he legalize drugs in Canada? Trudeau, you’re as fake as a three dollar bill.

Thank you Mr. Trudeau. Wish we had politicians of your caliber. And do what you have to do to help our people see how bad Trump and his ilk are for the US, the rest of us will be ready to heal our friendship when we can get rid of him.

Trudeau ..is so right ! ...

I understand why their talking heads are talking over Trudeau when he is speaking in French. But why at 15:15 do I have to listen to the talking heads, rather than hearing from Trudeau himself?Their opinions are not the news...his are.

Hey Trudeau…thought you had resigned yet here you are ! President Trump would have negotiated with a good leader. Why don’t you clean the filth out of Canada, the corrupt drug cartels, the fentanyl labs etc etc.

Trudeau we agree with you, all this is going too hurt us American citizens.

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.

Justin Trudeau is doing everything to break Canada before he leaves office.

While I didn't vote for Trump... The idea that this will hit Trump voters almost makes the financial suffering I may have to endure worth it. They will finally feel the consequences of their stupid choices on a personal level. This is the only thing that will speak to them. Thank you Justin Trudeau. I am not looking forward to this personally. But it's important that we as a nation face the consequences of our actions.

A bit too little too late Trudeau

Is Trudeau's Socialist dreams going into the shitter? Awww... China weeps.

Trudeau is speaking and acting like the statesman he is! His way of speaking on this matter is truly polite and great. He is defending his country and its values! Hopefully there's many more leaders of other countries that will step up and take action against the person that ignorant americans voted into the White House! This will soon blow up in the face of the goverment in the US. Hopefully the blow is tough and hard!

No Trudeau. America didn’t start it. TRUMP did… We are not him ?

As much as I disagree with most of Trudeau’s domestic politics I must say that this was a good address and seems to be where he is strongest. With that said though I still would not vote liberal in the next election.

I'm American, and while I've never been a huge Trudeau fan, that was an articulate, well-reasoned speech. Fantastic.

It s blistering and you can t get rid of it. Trudeau is like herpes

Trudeau is a CCP plant….

Shut up Trudeau put up or shut up

❤Canada ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ❤❤ Brilliant Prime Minister Trudeau!!!

Trudeau sucks he hates freedom

Please do not use any more government spending to float people by… we don’t have any more to spend Trudeau.\n\nFree up commerce and regulations for more Canadian businesses to start and prosper!

Trump likes Canadians, he just doesn't like that weasel Trudeau.... Remember the truckers...

Please, all honorable leaders such as Trudeau, call out this absolute idiot, Trump! Who voted for this idiot?

No Mr. Trudeau you have it wrong , our government didn't choose to do this to us... We voted for our government .......

Hey trudeau, dont worry we have our own trees and maple syrup

Trudeau stick with your cocaine and sex. Installed by joe and obama.\nwe can build mittens too

Kudos Prime Minister Trudeau for your strength , only one change, Canadians ere angry at braindead Magats !

Trudeau was correct to state that Trump’s actions are Dumb. However, he incorrectly called Trump a smart person.

I am so proud of my Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau. Thank you for standing up to this bully. #ProudCanadian????????

Also Justin Trudeau didn’t think Donald Trump was smart he said he agreed with the whichever newspaper it was Washington Post I think that even though Donald Trump is a smart guy this was a dumb thing. I don’t think he really agreed with the part about Donald Trump being a smart guy. But he definitely agrees with this being a dumb thing. He just had to say thatto stroke Cheetos ego

We love Americans, don't ever forget that. Prime Minister Trudeau made a superb speech. Unbelievable what is happening. We all need to hang in there and go on this crazy fiasco together. so sad.

Canadians, I am with you. Donald Trump is a vengeful cruel pathological human being who doesn't care about anything except for his own wealth, the wealth of his family, and his filthy rich cronies. He has no intention of helping Americans with their day to day expenses. I apologize on behalf of our country. I did not vote for this man/child. Kudos to Trudeau for standing up to him. ???

I normally don't agree in Mr Trudeau, but he nailed it. You Canadians should be proud - As mr Trump should be a shamed. USA is from now an ally to Mr Putin and his world of scumbags. This happens in front of the American people. And the rest of the world watch in shock how fast USA is going down. It is the biggest tragedy in the history of US.

Come on mrs trudeau.

Trudeau is a Punk and full of BS. CNN you suck

WEF puppet Trudeau

American here. I can't tell you how much I miss having a president that speaks like Trudeau. Instead we have a bunch of 4 year tantrum throwing toddlers. And for anyone that has been in a room full of 4 year tantrum throwers all day you know that is completely exhausting, life draining and all you want to do set them in time-out.

Trudeau resigned because he fucked up canada so bad and his people hate him. So why would the US losten to this failure of a leader

I’m generally no fan of Trudeau but I’m with him on this…these Tariffs are stupid. I don’t know why we have to do this to them and ourselves…these amount of Fentanyl that comes in from Canada is tiny compared to Mexico

Trudeau is a spineless dictator the only person less likable than him is Joe biden

Trudeau and canadian provincial prime ministers are at their best in time of crisis.

Damn!!! Trudeau for once with a backbone!! ????
