Trudeau is far from perfect. He has done some stupid stuff during his time as PM and before he was PM. But I will never doubt his love for Canada and appreciate him standing up to the Trump Administration. Yes, of course he has a speech writer. But so does the president and well, one is articulate and the other is a blabbering idiot. I'll let you decide which is which. Hint: the one speaking here is the articulate one. ?

Congrats to a brilliant speech which nails it perfectly. Greetings from Germany

Wait,so CANADA has no flaws or mistakes? Are they perfect? Is Canadian people better than Americans? Because all that has been said points that Canada is never wrong, they do everything perfect.

It makes perfect sense what are any of you talking about you're missing the whole point we are all allied with Russia what Trump has wanted from day one get with the times. This is not the same country it was a month and a half ago

@CNN: Wait, so this is a 1/2 ounce trade war officially??? Half an ounce of phentanyl?.. messing up a trillion dollar a year trade border and the closest relationship the US had literally in history?? Wth Donald?\nTrudeau is doing an amazing job. ???He was not perfect at all, but he's doing a solid job voicing and standing up for Canadians now. I love his efforts.

Democrats are about the dumbest people in the world....Perfect example democrats voted for Joe Biden a man that became the worst president in history... His own party kicked him to the curb... Oh wait Biden was running the country... It was the democratic staff members... Under democrats 2021-2024 American house holds was paying out an extra $1,500 a month and democrats wanna cry about stuff.... There's a reason democrats lost the election ?????

I wish we could have a leader at least half as respectable as Trudeau. Sure he isn’t perfect, but this is a breath of fresh air and we are only a month in…

Soon 7 year tribulation and rapture of believers\n\nI am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.\nThe simplicity IN Christ willing none perish\nBELIEVE and put your faith and trust in Him alone. We are all sinners in need of a Saviour.\n\nFor God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.\n17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.\n18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.\n\nNeither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”\n\nJesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.\n\nFor I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek\nTHE GOSPEL WHICH SAVES \n\nMoreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;\n2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.\n3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;\n4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.\nJesus , the second person in the Godhead, God the Father, God the Son, Jesus, God the Holy Spirit. One God in three persons, the word who was with God and was God ( Jesus) the Christ, who is the eternally existing Son of God, came by blood and water , who is eternal life, fully God , fully man , layed down His Glory was born of the Virgin Mary through the Holy Spirit , lived a perfect , sinless life, shed His sinless blood, to pay the sin debt for the world, He died was buried and rose on the third day \n\nIn whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise.\n\nFor by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:\n9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

There's many reasons not to like Trudeau up here in Canada, many of which are the reason he'll (rightfully) no longer be the PM next week. As a conservative I hated him for SNC-Lavalin (among other scandals), and the fact that his inexperience with the economy Harper left him is probably part of why this trade war is going to hurt more than it could have, and the fact that he's often been kind of a phony more concerned with looking and sounding good for the press cameras. Not this time. Nothing phony here; I've got to give credit to him for capturing the national mood pretty much perfectly with this speech. Good on him. \n\nAnd congratulations as well to Donald for pretty much handing the Liberals their best shot at a fourth term, too. What an absolute idiot. Normally I'd turn my nose up at having to vote Liberal, but I am so, so sick of the brand of empty populism Trump stands for that it looks like that's what I'm gonna be doing come election time.

CNN and Justine a perfect match ???? and I’m Canadian- this guy is a thief and a crook and a SELLOUT freedom of speech killer and a so called feminist ???? as said perfect match

Stop insulting our President! We are no longer woke communist like Trudeau and the EU, and we are focusing on us, as the world does not appreciate all we do and we are far from perfect here. President Trump is one of the great Presidents that made America and Canada so successful in the past, and all these socialist a$$bags can do is cry and get in the way of progress! We are the superpower of the world for a reason and you’re on the wrong path my Canadian friends! Watch you ? mouth long story short!

PERFECT RESPONSE

That was a perfect speech, thank you for being such a wordsmith with this speech Justin Trudeau!!!

The Russians meddled in the election of trump and he knows it. He owes the Russians, and they have made that perfectly clear. Trump knows exactly what he’s doing. He has no allegiance to the US or our Constitution, just the russians.

It all makes perfect sense. We elected a complete idiot as president. Trump is stupid.

I am so sorry Canada, and all the countries of NATO. The smart people in the USA did not cast our votes for MAGA. Please let us all hope we can impeach him and get back to the not perfect, however, loved DEMOCRACY we were and are.

Makes perfect sence dipshits russia has nukes ukraine is dead in the water. Facts facts facts. ? ?

Trudeau found the perfect crack to slither through into the good light of people ?..or trying to

Calling him Donald is the perfect level of disrespect

Everything Trump has been doing makes perfect sense when you view it through the lens of Russian influence. Is Trump so embarrassed about a video of him in a Russian hotel room with sex workers, doing pee stuff, that he’s willing to tank America and the rest of the western world? \nPutin cannot believe his luck, regardless of why it’s happening.

hats off to Trudeau, this speech was perfectly articulated. clear and concise. something Trump never gets close to.

Perfect reaction❤

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 . ??????????

I can’t wait till the U.S has a NORMAL PRESIDENT again. not a perfect one. Just a NORMAL one.

He’s the common sense president….helping Russia and blasting allies. Makes total perfect sense, right?! We clearly have our common sense way…thank you Mr Trump for showing us who your real ally is. We needed this lesson for the help we gave on 911 etc. shame on us! I hope we’ve learnt a valuable lesson.

Throw Trump out!!! Biden wasn’t perfect, but this administration is devolving into chaos!?

People of the US, please listen to this grownup. What he’s saying makes perfect sense.

have gone through the comment section, most Americans are just emotional. your president might not be a perfect person but truly he is putting your country first. As an outside and an African, USA as a country has been taken advantage of by most western countries. China is taking over the whole world.

Perfect speech.

I am so damn proud right now of my Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, he is responding in the perfect move. I love the fact that he is calling out that cretin!

I stand against the american government, but anybody with a brain knows that are government deals more drugs to the population than any drug dealing organization in the world, if the government cant be the one to deal it, than you cant eithet, if you deal it, you go to jail, if the government deals it, its perfectly ok

Trump works for Putin, when you view things through that lense, it makes perfect sense.

It makes perfect sense, he is setting the stage to install puppet leaders. Erode trust in the current administration of these countries to a point where people do anything to get things back to normal, and then offer an alternative, whose values all aligned with trumps

America has been getting ripped off for years and the world economy was running perfectly with that plan. Now we are trying to write anew and everyone is losing their minds!

You never know what is going on behind the curtains! \nMaybe this is all set up by Trump and Trudeau to bring him up again because people started to hate Justin Trudeau! \nJust like the way Trump hired someone to shoot him to his ear to push people to feel bad for him, love and respect him and vote for him after that!!! And... Unfortunately it worked perfectly !\nLet's see what will happen to Justin Trudeau after all of these go away and everything goes back to normal again \nI really don't see any signs of stress on Justin Trudeau's face and skin at all. \nHe is fresh, shiny and happy inside. \nDo you remember his appearance during the pandemic?

Canada is and will be perfectly fine ✅

Also awfully funny how y'all were perfectly ignorant when Joe Biden was increasing the tariffs against everywhere else when Donald Trump left the last time he didn't remove them he added on to them and increased them and y'all didn't say anything about it then. You'll act like this is the first time anybody's ever heard of tariffs and yet Canada already had it against us we already had it against them just like every other country. Tariffs are just a fancy government word for interest and as long as those interests are aligned and in favor for Democrats tariffs are okay but when they're not all of a sudden they're not okay again.

Yeah because we're just supposed to allow everyone to sell their stuff here and buy our stuff here and sell it in their own country for as cheap as possible. We're not supposed to get paid for our services or our products we're just supposed to give everything out to these people for free. \nBut it's also funny everyone's against tariffs all of a sudden but when y'all were slinging out tariffs left and right against Russia You're perfectly acceptable of all the long-term ramifications.\nY'all were perfectly fine with the increased gas prices as long as the tariffs were against Russia but when tariffs are going against other countries and prices start going up because of it all of a sudden now you are against it.

Trudeau...is the same guy as Obama-Newsome Snake oil salesman....perfect for you fake news AHOLES huh CNN?

Trump works for Putin. The goal is to destroy America in every possible way. Once you accept that, everything Trump does makes perfect sense.

Thank you, CNN, for airing our Prime Minister's speech in full, without interruption. We are not a perfect country but I am grateful to have a sane leader who isn't a bully, and doesn't have to resort to childish name-calling to portray 'strength.'

It's refreshing to see a leader who speaks clearly, eloquently, and explains things step by step. He perfectly outlined the issue and the reasons behind the countermeasures. When Trump speaks, he lies, makes up facts, and is completely incoherent. we never understands what he’s doing or why he’s doing it, and neither does he.

Trump is a total idiot, it's beyond any logical explanation. All successful countries have been built on trade and immigrantion (attracting talent). Getting rid of both destroys the country, instead of making it stronger. UK and Brexit is a perfect example.

I'm not Canadian, but I do feel it's a real shame that President Trudeau is withdrawing...I understand that he's not perfect, but compared to who you have on the other side of the border, he's brilliant..and I really think that he is exactly the right person to have as a leader at this crazy moment in time.

perfect actor

Perfectly said by Trudeau!!! Absolutely 100% the truth!!!\n\nDeep, deep shame on cruel, ignorant, constantly lying trump & his cronies!!!

The ambush of Zelensky by drumph was personal, and not political! Zelensky refused to open a farcical investigation into Joe Biden. Drumph's perfect phone call asking Zelensky to just say that Biden was being investigated led to Drumph's first impeachment! He hates Zelensky, and will never help him! He's using politics to cover up his personal vendetta! He's mentally ill, and sicker than you think!

Brit living in Canada, JT gets a lot of hate, but his response to this has been perfect.

Canada please keep PM Trudeau in his position! He is brining it to Trump so perfectly, please don't break the chain!!

Trump is acting perfectly logical... if you appreciate he is compromised by Russian intelligence, his Russian handlers know how to manipulate him, and he is really a very stupid man. That and senior cadet Kransov has earned new shiny medal
