I wish to side track just slightly from this videos content. This individual who calls himself the PM of Canada is nothing short of a criminal. You're listening to a child pretending to be an adult. Trudeau is the reason that freedom is vanishing from Canada. He openly admires the Communist system of China (social credit system). He has destroyed the economy of Canada all by himself. He is desperate to destroy freedom of speech and punishes all who oppose him. Please remember what Trudeau did to Canadians during the PEACEFUL trucker protest in Ottawa. He froze bank accounts for Canadians who stood by the truckers. He inposed some of the harshest lockdown measures in the world during the pandemic and he abolutely HATES democracy. Have you forgotten his blackface scandal as well? This is the face of an absolute TYRANT pretending to be a crusader for fairness. Don't forget his total ripping during the UN speech he gave about 2 years ago when foreign UN representatives tore into him for his open tyranny against Canadians. His security thugs have assulted journalists simply for asking him honest questions about the Canadian economy and now you are swayed by a suit wearing mobster. He protects terrorists across Canada while simultaneously arresting Canadians for demanding their freedom to be restored. This guy is a THUG in an expensive suit and nothing more. It's nausiating to see how quickly people forget and how easily they are swayed by a bandit in an expensive suit. WAKE UP. Trudeau is the face of evil and you admire him. Nausiating.

Being that he intends to remain in office past his 4 yr period, this only gonna get worse. \nSo bad you might never be able to recover and bring democracy back.\nAmericans are in deep ?.

That is because Trump is a Russian asset, and he's out to destroy democracy

small man TRUMP lasts 4 years. CANADA, NATO, UKRAINE, UK, ALL GLOBAL DEMOCRACIES WILL ENDURE LONG, LONG AFTER TRUMP.

MAKE NO MISTAKE: TRUMP'S GOAL IS GLOBAL LEADER IN DICTATORSHIP . CRANK: CHINA RUSSIA ASIA (IRAN) NORTH KOREA. TRUMP HAS ABANDONED DEMOCRACY.

TRUMP IS NOT AMERICA. TRUMP IS A TRAITOR TO DEMOCRACY.

We are all seeing the fall of our country and democracy due to an incompetent wanna be dictator and bully!

Listen to the Prime Minister speaking 2 languages. trump can't even speak one past a grade 3 level. trump wants this in order to weaken all democracies in order for putin to take over the world. Why aren't we doing something people? Are we really going to let the hateful racists who voted for the presidunce win? I pray not.

WHERE ARE THE USA DEMOCRATS ?? WGAT KIND OF DEMOCRACY IS THIS ?? Been rule by a dictator, authoritarian SEUDO politician?? Where where …….. ???

When speaking to the most powerful democracy in the world you have to show respect. The USA ?? is the super power of the world. Thank you USA?? for your leadership and wisdom. The USA ?? is the only country on this planet that can achieve and garentie peace. Thank you for your hard work and deep compassion for humanity. ❤

Trump is the one who will destroy the democracy of USA, the humanity of orderly world, close corporations of Organization like NATO and . . . . .the country stay together peacefully in this world.

Convicted felon trump is a traitor to our country and the rest of our democracies. He's mentally deranged.

Im so embarrassed to be and american. I stand with Canada, Ukraine, and NATO. NOT ALL OF US VOTED FOR TRUMP. !!!! I thankfully live in CONNECTICUT but I'm really scared for democracy. I wish I could move to Canada

why is our leader in america hurting us. we need to stop all this before we lose our democracy

PLEASE DON'T EQUATE TRUMP WITH AMERICA. 350 GOOD AND DECENT MEN WOMEN AND CHILDREN ARE AMERICA. TRUMP HAS ABANDONED DEMOCRACY.

Trump is a Russian asset and many of his circle put there to destroy our country and our Democracy

Wait until Trump sends his troops into Canada. MAGA , musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Putin, and North Korea are right behind him. You used to be a democracy like America was. America was once known as the United States of America. MAGA has forced the world to call that former great country Shitland.

On a clear vision, Trump is isolating America. Let it just be Trump, Vance against Canada, Ukraine, Europe. Because democracy could be restored without them. The world should be balance, and America was on that side before Trump's dooming

Im so sorry Canada ,?\nMost of us do not agree with this admin....they are a disgrace to our country \ndoing evil to our democracy....we love Canada ????

'WE two friends fighting is exactly what our OPPONENTS want to see' (Capitalisations mine) \n\nWhy is everyone so afraid to acknowledge and/or accept the fact that OUR opponents are not HIS opponents? They are his friends and his idols. He admires these people. He wants to BE these people. He is a danger not only to the United States, but to the entire world. Donald Trump will destroy everything we have ever known and relied upon regarding democracy and the worldwide rules-based system that we have all relied upon for 80 years now. Why won't anyone say that?

Trump is the worst dictator in the US history and he is destroying our economy and democracy at the same time…

I don’t like Trudeau. I don’t like the way his country is suffering under his rule - by that I mean the poverty the Canadians are living in whilst he takes expensive vacations and eats 5 star food - and I agree more with the opposition. I also don’t like the black face joke he pulled years ago. But in this instance, against the trump administration, I fully support and agree with what he is saying. This is the stupidest trade war in history. This is going to screw up all countries involved. Stand for democracy!

Mr. PM: If Trump's goal is to destroy the alliances among Western democracies, this is a smart thing to do.

Trump Vance, and musk are traitors to democracy! Their goal is to bring about a 1984 scenario where oligarchs in the US are in control of the Americas and regular people live to fight in their wars and in poverty

I never understood why people called Trump a threat to Democracy. But after seeing him break alliances with Ukraine and start trade wars with Canada their closest ally, while praising Russia. It all starts to make sense

Tyrants doesn't mean they thrive on a 3rd world country,,, even the free'ist of democracy can produce it's own dictator.

How much has Putin offered Trump to help destroy our democracies and to help destroy the bond between all of the Allies in NATO Donald Eve there doesn't realize that he's being used or he's being paid handsomely to do this dirty job he should be removed from office before he does any more f****** damage

Please know that the vast majority of us in the USA do not want this trade war. Canada is our neighbor and friend. This will not stand. I don’t know how or when but Trump will be removed from office and our memories soon. Democracy will prevail over evil!

Somebody have courage to stand up to bullying not afraid always stand with Canada, Ukraine for peace and democracy????????

I am an American, I’ve spent time in Canada and the people and land are incredible. I support Canada and democracy, Canadians are not alone in the anger towards the US government even in a red state.

Aussie here. I will not purchase anything made in USA. We support democracy, we support Canada, Ukraine, Mexico, UK and all of Europe . FU trump!!!!

From America, thank you. If it takes breaking us to help our democracy survive, please continue to hold strong. I both thank you and applaud you.

He made being a drug addict legal... even encourages it with free injections. But he's done everything to fight drugs?. The only thing he's worked on is destroying Canada more than anyone in its history and he shouldn't even be allowed to speak on behalf of Canada. He should also never speak the words democracy or dictator since he clearly has them backwards.

I believe Americans must stop this fool. In my opinion he is desperately trying to destroy what took 80 years to make. He is trying to turn friends into enemies, he is trying to change America from democracy into dictatorship.\nThis is very sad. \nI hope Americans will not allow one imbecile and bunch of crazies to change your great country into land of unrest and division.\nYou must stop your president from dismantling your country.\nJust my opinion ?

OUR REPUBLICAN/MAGA GOVERNMENT, Not just our Government, it is the ALT-RIGHT. If it were American Socialism or even moderate democrats we might be better off. Cause America does socialism and democracy pretty well when given time and access to equity in an array of voices represented.

I've never been so proud of you Justin Trudeau! If I could, I'd vote for you today. I think you're the leader we need more than ever. Thank you for everything you've done for us.\n\nI'm scared as hell of what's to come, who will lead us. If the Conservatives gain power I'm afraid we will go the way of the US and its idiot in charge and what will become of the world...\n\nOur next election will matter more than ever. I hope as Canadians we come out in droves and vote for democracy and not sit at home and watch the Right win. I've never voted Liberal before, I've always supported the NDP. But this next election regardless of who is elected as leader for the Liberals I will vote for them to keep Poiliever out of office as that will be catastrophic. \n\nOnce again thank you for everything Justin Trudeau ❤️

Wow Donald TRUMP is a horrible person. He somehow became President of the United States of America. I don’t blame people who believed his lies, but let us hope we can make it through his first year in office. Let us hope that our representatives, decide to stick up for democracy and not hang on Trumps coattails. I would hope they want to leave a legacy to better America and its people not drag us through the mud.

As a Kamala voter and as an American who loves Canada, I apologize for the hideous manner in which my government is treating our neighbor and ally. I will be protesting and doing what I can to stop Trump and Musk from destroying our democracy and our friendships around the world. I wish Canada all the prosperity and health possible in the future and I hope someday you will be able to forgive our nation for the damage that the idiots running this country are causing for you and many other of our allies as well, with their ignorant tariffs and bullying tactics. Someone needs to punch Trump in the nose, good and hard, so he knows that not everyone will back down when one acts like a pushy jerk. He is not a strong man, he is a lily livered, weak willed, draft dodger who just happened to be born to a wealthy father. Best of luck! We will miss you by our side . . . . ???☮

People that support justice and democracy are always respectful in comments, but if you read what putin and trump supporter's have to say, it's just insults and arrogance. That's the difference. Unfortunately, the uneducated form a majority in trumps supporters.

I feel like crap being American due to it coming under dictatorship! We're about to lose our democracy. I imagine an exodus of Americans heading out of the madness. Let MAGA have it. We have had enough and we know it will get much, much worse!!! ?

That's hilarious how CNN has adopted a loser PM of a third world country to be it's faint beacon of their version of Democracy. \n \nCanada is a colony of the UK. It's not a Democracy. \n \nIn this day and age of freedom and independence, and respect for human rights, Canada and the UK governments should be ashamed that colonialism is still their guiding principle. \nI find that ridiculous that CNN does not see the hypocrisy of Canada and the UK leading the call for continued Ukraine independence. \n \nIs this slavish relationship the attraction for CNN and it's ignorant presenters? Isn't CNN the least bit ashamed they admire slavery in the 21st century and that they are giving voice to colonialists?

This isn't stupidity, this is being done deliberately according to a plan orchestrated by enemies of the America's and Europe.\nTherefore Trump is an enemy of democracy. \nTrump: The man who broke the world.

The Republican Party and Trump and maga wants to crash the American government constitution and democracy to create a new dictatorship government under white nationalist control.

Trump is a horrible, horrible human. I am devastated over what he is doing. I've never once given Trump my vote and I'm not a lefty liberal. I knew if he was voted in he was going to cause world wide chaos. He has shown his character over and over and over...yet a large portion of American's just ignored it. This election wasn't about republicans or democrats or independents. This election was about humanity and global security. American's ignored the writing on the wall for their own singular wants/opinions. They stand with their Trump flags but only a few of them can actually explain any accurate information about his policy or legal issues and they condone his behavior. The majority of Trumpers claim to be 'Christians'. Christians voting for a man who is a bully, abuser, liar, predator, monger of power, impedes freedom of press and speech and aligns himself with a dictator. He pardoned violent offenders and called them patriotic, spouts false information, obstructs investigations, has numerous felony charges against him and has now made enemies with our allies. Shall I go on? That's not Christian. Even if you aren't Christian...that's not what America stands for. All for what...eggs? Guns? Cheaper groceries? Or because your need for hating a small group of people out weighs global peace. Or is it because you are so short sighted that you can't even see the valuable contribution that non American born people provide this country. Yes, Biden fell asleep at the wheel. Yet many of you still believed the better choice was a psychopath. This election was important. We failed as a country by putting this man in office. No matter what party you align with, we failed. Yes, I want cheaper eggs. Yes, I really need cheaper groceries. But not over the safety of the globe. Not over the lives of the people and children being killed in an unprovoked war. Not over the safety of Europe. Not over ripping off our closest and favorite country that borders us. Not over losing our democracy and our allies. I stand with Ukraine, Canada, Mexico and Europe and the Gulf of Mexico. You should ask yourself what you really stand for.

How dignified. \nI feel we Americans are watching our rights slowly disappear. Our elections have likely been corrupted. We are facing at least a major economic recession if not a depression. This all said, I believe Americans value their independence and will fight for it. So, ok our democracy is under attack, we must fight.

Democracy has spoken

yes. Trump has declared (literally) WAR on Canada, Europe, Mexico & Ukraine. What would the US vets from past conflicts protecting democracy, freedom and liberty think? Rolling in their graves!

Everyone knew that Trump election meant the end of american supremacy in the world. His insanity was there all the time. The whole world saw that comming. Everyone but americans saw. Now you have a foreign billionaire imploding your democracy from within to install a fascist experiment. When you wake up from this nightmare, the world order will have changed and America will be a second-rate country.

Prime Minister Trudeau is boldly hitting the nails on the head, and I admire his boldness and honesty as I've always admired Canada and its peoples. Trump is in the back pocket of the Russian dictator. His actions prove it to my satisfaction. Canada has been a staunch friend of the US, a real partner not just for economic benefits for both countries but for a democratic way of life. Canada is a strong democracy whose people are known for their open hearts and minds. I pray that this idiotic trade war started by a man who is subservient to Putin will come to an end. I say to Canadians, let us stick to our common values of democracy, free expression, peaceful borders, and our commitment to the greatest good of the many rather than the greatest good of the few and the Russian dictator.
