Trudeau is nothing more than a lame duck cry baby. Instead of thanking the United States for all the years Canada was allowed to ride its coattail, he talks as if he can actually do something. Canada is nothing without the United States and with a response like this, it proves just how ungrateful they are. It’s about time we have a President who stands up against nations talking advantage of our country.

No Trudeau Trudeau...... like in India Modi... Modi.... Modi...talks with reason and logic

If we are all so sure he is in bed with Putin then can he not be impeached or tried for treason. We keep talking and reporting on it but what is being done before it is really too late

I have no horse in the race but I'm interested in seeing this canadian loyalty that everyone talks about.

I’m tired of people telling us who should be our friends over here in America if our president is OK with talking to Putin then leave us alone. I’m tired all this the spooky scary man. Why can’t we talk to each other? What’s the problem? What are y’all hiding?

Eat a sausage trudeau the sycophants in the cnn comme t page her are outnumbered. An idiot like you talk down to the american people. Get wrecked bro. Canadians better elect poliveri or your in for a world of bankruptcy.

all you saying this is an adult, he talks off a monitor... only REAL person is trump and all you libs can keep crying while we bring jobs back home

Trump needs to go!! Americans needs to stand up and impeach trump, he’s a liar, has no idea of what he’s talking about and obviously cares only for himself and is going to ruin our country!! How can the American people be so stupid!! \nNo one can trust trump and his cronies!! \nHe will not stop, he’s a dictator, ignorant Man!!

Instead of making speeches talk to Trump and negotiate a deal to suit both Parties, otherwise you are hurting Canada's economy

US credibility has been circulating the drain for months, now it's in the pipes and heading for the sewer. When trump puts the knife into the back of his allies and then talks about lifting sanctions on Russia, it's pretty obvious where his loyalties are.

He is a leader. Feeling the pain and talking from his heart.

You should talk war criminal Netanyahu and Israel

All of you people that talk so tough, you should volunteer to the front lines and put your soul where your gob is. I bet none of you have the gonads to front line it. To serve where the bullets fly. Trudy your young enough, grow a pair and confront that lying, murderous dictator, and show the world your worth... you pu....!!

I think this is because of the free amount of billions you get from the USA with nothing in return. Nothing so why should we help! Why is some of your government talking to Trump privately about joining the USA as another state. I believe this will happen!

We will have to remember in the future that half of us voted for this. To not have the, “It wasn’t me…?” reaction. Why would anyone ever trust us again? Over half of us voted for this, he talked about tariffs throughout his campaign. I am so ashamed. We are not great, we are sloppy, stupid and small minded.

Turdeau can’t talk his way outta wet paper bag, sockboy needs a sock in his mouth to keep him quiet! I’m so sick of this?

Doesn’t work to talk intelligently to someone who doesn’t have intellect, sadly. It just makes them confused and mad

I really like the way that he said about he's not going to sugar coat anything and he spoke so clearly to inform Americans what is truly going on with what Trump is doing to this country and Trudeau is telling people the truth just like the leader from North Korea. When you get leaders who barely rare give speeches then you know that they are not bull sh**ing about what they are talking about, but Trump is doing that and he's going to destroy people's lives in America and he's going to destroy America. Why would he turn a country (Canada) who's been there for America into an enemy and that's because he doesn't care about the country and they don't have what he wants and all he cares about is money and power, so know he just turned a country Canada into an enemy, WTF IS HE THINKING ABOUT CLEARLY NOT PEOPLE IN AMERICA!

Do not fall for Trudeau, he is not a competent leader. His resignation would explain his competencies. We pay taxes like crazy, he does not do a damn thing about it but wants to raise carbon taxes too.... He is just putting on a show.... For more than 9 yrs in power, he should have put Canada First, now that he is leaving and talks like he cares, what a hypocrite!

Don't worry, Canada, most of us here in the USA are with you! We do not agree with the orange swine!! All that talk about his popularity vote is bogus! A lie, manufactured! No such truth!

i like how the american news take a little talking break when we go french on them.. bwahaha

Trudeau speaks clearly and calmly. No shouting, no misinformation, no double talk.\n\nI have not seen any American politician speak this way for a long long time.

Why does he talk with a lisp lol. Trump should be real scared ?

People have the right idea of talking to trump directly and make it clear that he just took sides with Russia over his allies in democracy and freedom,something that no other president would do allow a dictator to invade a country and blackmail the country that is being invaded just for it mineral and don’t have a statement of giving help. I don’t respect trump or his family they are standing by his side as he destroys the country what kind of people are they are they that corrupt the whole family is willing let their father or let her husband do what he doing without saying anything to stop the corruption.

Kudos to the person who wrote him this speech. Not sure what great things he did that he speaks of… why didn’t he talk weeks ago before the taarifs? One speech without um, hum, ah… finally but still he must go!

We don't have a country, no elections, no immigration control. Please stop talking

Let me tell you guys something to all the commentators:\nJ Trudeau is a merciful dictator who all he does is talk talk talk with no action, the only action he does is spend taxpayers money for his and his parties benefit\nHe is a extreme socialist praising lunatic who uses words to try and hypnotize his population which does not work. He destroyed this once beautiful country and he publically laughs about it when asked. If you guys think that the USSR was abolished in the 90’s, i highly suggest you take another look at your upstairs neighbour. Take it from a canadian. Do not trust or believe anything that thing says

STFU CNN talking heads and let us actually listen to the PM

You should talk directly to Elon... As he is running the country ?

OMG I love this!! ❤ Speaking truth to an utter ? ASSHOLE !! ?? if only EVERYONE would talk to Trump that way. ?? ❤️!!

All these years US has a trade deficit of 1 trillion dollars every year. With tariffs we could have recovered 250 billion every year. That is a lot of money. Currently every American owes $110,000 because of the accumulated debt of 36.5 trillion.\n\nJustin, how long are we supposed to bend back wards while US has a trade deficit of trillion dollar over the past 20 years. Why cant to you balance the imports and exports so that you don't have to keep taking advantage of USA. CNN did not see the trade deficit every single year for 20 years? what are they talking about? Our news channels have just become political entities rather than looking for the greater good of the Americans. One is for Republicans and others for Democrats - ridiculous. \n\nCanada and Mexico are saying, please stop tariffs, it is going to hurt America. LOL. No it is not. If tariffs were there in 2024, US would have gotten back 15 billion dollar revenue from Canada and Mexico would have paid 46 billion to USA. All this time, this was affecting only Americans and while you are enjoying not paying for your share, you have made US pay by taking loans to pay for the imports increasing our Debt. Yes it has been hurting America for the past 20 years, otherwise how did we accumulate 36.5 trillion debt.\n\nLike Justin said, if Canada can survive while paying 15 billion to USA, of course USA will do fine while collecting the 15 billion from Canada and 46 billion form Mexico. What do you all think that the public is blind?\n\nTo the American Public: Why would we impose tariffs, if that is going to hurt the US. And why are Canada and Mexico shaking in their boots? It would be naive, if you think it is out of their good heart. It had been hurting US for the past 20 years and they did not care. This time it is going to hurt them so all this fuss. The bottom line is that they don't want to pay all the excess that they have been dumping on us while they were benefiting. USA will use the revenue generated (total around 250 billion for 2025 form tariffs) to reduce our tax, make things more affordable, inject in to our own businesses and generate more employment.

You're reasonable but can't understand that you have to talk to people to resolve issues?

Difference BETWEEN Clear And Understandable Full sentences. WITH Absolutely NO USE OF TALKING Over somebody. Thats the difference Between a Real person. And A BULLY!

Im shocked to hear a well spoken professional talking like a normal human being

I like he has so many specifics... until he talks about the things they accomplished together.

Wait I thought this clown resigned- why is he talking?

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau from the U.S. Very kind words and extremely helpful information that we all need to hear from a political leader that is talking to us without all the rhetoric and childish behavior. DT is extremely wrong and ignorant. Many Americans stand with Canada, Ukraine and Mexico. God bless you and world peace for all of us.

Putin can wipe your country from existence so don't talk too much and let the US do the big boyz talk.

Our primeminister talks a big talk after destroying our economy for the last 9 years and with his countless scandals. How about co-operation instead of retaliation?!?! Can't wait until this clown is gone for good.

Isn't it lovely to hear the adults talk rather than a couple of petulant man-children.

Won't back down from a fight says the coward that wouldn't even save and come out and talk to his own country during the trucker protests ROFL stfu boy

Though you did wear a suit, but you didn't say 'thank you'. And you talked too much. You are unrespectful to Donald ??

All talk we own Canada

BRAVO PM Trudeau!!!!!! this is fantastic that you are standing up against the inhinged criminal FELON and TYRANT!!\nDo not ever cave in to this idiot BULLY or Canada will forever regret it, trump cant be reasoned with, talked to , persueded or anything else.\nConsider CUTTING the electric power to the 3 US States, and the OIL exported to the US as well- hit HARD and don't give in! The rest of the world is BEHIND you and support you!

This guy should have been the president in the US. That's how a president talk and act

Are you guys nuts. Trump is either stupid beyond belief, or he has an agenda you are not talking about. Trump is doing exactly what Putin asks.

Trudeau shouldn't talk Canadians hate him

Seems this guy by the way he is talking should be both president of Canada and America as he dioesnt talk like the chaos president clown in America , cuz everytime another country speaks Trump just lies

Justin you a talking to traitors. Save your breath.

Sorry Canada for the idiocy of our @$$ hole president. I agree with Trudeau's speech, but sadly he doesn't realize he is talking reasonably to a man who is a psychopath and does not care about what is right. He is trying to become a dictator and has no sense of reason
