Not directoy to trump, hes not as brave as Zelensky.\n\nWhen he was directly with trump the best he could do is laugh nervously.\n\nFurthermore, Zelensky just said he would sign the minerals deal, so the UK promising boots on the ground and planes in rhe air is the most murderous, greediest, most evil thing I've heard all week. These bullets could have stopped by now if people hadn't egged Zelensky on.

We lived in Canada for 15 years and we heard a lot how Canada hated us. The facts are Port of Vancouver is mega drug port. Just go to East Hastings

Maybe building a Boarder Wall on America's Northern Boarder would be a good idea. Canada is responsible to guard our boarders and allow in only those who we feel qualify. Canada does not close it's boarders to those who wish to leave, nor does the United States close it's boarders to those who wish to leave. The United States is free to put up a wall and a boarder crossing anywhere you wish, stop whoever you want to stop from entering your country. I can tell you that The fastest Boarder Wall that I have ever seen go up is the one that Trump just raised between the United States and Canada, the Tariff Wall. What you have done is put signs on our shelves, buy Canadian. You have taken American Product from the top shelf, to the verry bottom shelf, behind the Made in China. You have closed the Travel Agencies to United States travel, nobody wants to go to your country, and I heard that there is going to be a 250% Tariff on hotel accommodations for Americans visiting Canada. It is not only about the Tariffs on Canada, who Used to be your friends, it is about your new friend Russia, who support Terrorist organizations all over the world, including the ones in Gaza who held Americans Hostage, who supports IRAN who supports Russia in murdering and raping women, kidnapping children in Ukraine, torturing and murdering citizens with their hands tied behind their backs. If this is what America supports, if this is what America does to its Ally's, I hope the taps for the oil and the switch for the electricity are turned off, and we never have to worry about each other ever again.\n\nCanada is a country with an Area roughly the size of the United States, with a population 340 Million is 8 1/2 times larger than Canada at $40 Million, with a GDP 9 1/2 times larger than Canada. America is a Bully.

Probably little crying trump thought Canada wouldn’t retaliate, sorry baby, we are not happy and making sure u heard us

A very articulate, professional and intelligent man has spoken. I heard him word for word. God bless you Canada and God bless America!

1:17 thinks I already heard these words a few weeks ago x)

USA is the new North Korea. At least some citizens can fight back and STILL have their voices heard.

I heard you were thrown out of power. Are you back?

Trudeau used harsh language???\n\nOh, sweet summer's child, you've never heard harsh, have you dear?\n\nBless your heart.

Best speech I've heard from Justin .. way to go. PS (We still love our friends in the US)

As a black person all I heard was that the president was racist. Now it’s evident that he doesn’t care for most regardless of race. People who lost jobs were not only minorities Most disregard how america forgot about GOD. What did we think would happen ? Only the GOD that was forgotten can change the hearts of those in power and I pray that those who can see no wrong in whatever is done in Washington, will somehow regain their sight. . We must pray for our leaders and pray for each other

I'm an American and let me make this perfectly clear what I heard. Coming out of Justin Trudeau's mouth today was the gospel truth. Our government is off the rails and who's to blame the GOP and the magas. Canada this American supports you 150%

I did not know that Amber Heard is part of the Trudeau-Government?

I was very disappointed with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. While I have always been pressed by his superior leadership record and skills especially with his spectacular response to the impending tariffs by travelling to UK and Europe and talking about trading with Europe and East Asian countries.\nWhat a disappointment when he called Putin a murderous dictator. Justin, let’s look at the record of your friends in the West. USA has over decades bombed and killed millions of Muslims in Arab countries. Today the murders continue to go one without a peep from you or your western leader friends. In the last week the US has bypassed Congress to ship billions of dollars of bombs to Israel so Israel can with these US bombs cleanse Gaza. So Israel can steal the Palestinian lands so Trump can built a resort and hotels in these stolen Palestinian lands.\nSo what about Ukraine? Same story, different tactic. NATO with your consent poked the Russian bear for decades before Russia, whose warnings about NATO expansion went unheeded. Russia had no choice but to fight a proxy war with Ukraine as US kept on shipping dollars and weapons to Ukraine ‘to weaken Russia’. When you won the election, Justin, I thought that a younger Canadian whose father was one of the most independent thinking leader, that you would take a history lesson and realize that the US foreign policy over decades has been the cause for so much complicity in so many countries around the world. Listen to Jeffrey Sachs and get your thoughts sorted out.\nListen to Ilan Pappe to know how the country you hug and kiss has murdered and stole Palestinian lands for over 7 decades. I have not once heard from you that Israel should be called out.

I never really heard this guy speak so much. I’m impressed. He puts trump to shame.

I thought that was amber heard next to him?

as Ukrainian, I would say to Americans\n\n- do not quarrel with your neighbors and time-tested allies. do not threaten that you are occupying them. Because you will destroy the relationship and then it will be very difficult to restore it\n\n- do not believe and do not build relationships with Russians while this is an empire as ussr or current putin-fsb-empire - they really hate you. As long as I can remember, I have heard this from russians. \nIt seems to me that somewhere at the cellular level they have hostility towards everything Western and especially US. Russians will strike and betray you at your first weakness\n\nAnd do not believe your politicians who violate the above

I have to agree. We should be very proud of Trudeau. So eloquently and articulately delivered with facts, no hesitation or backing down. Thank you, PM Trudeau we stand behind you as do most of the world. I have heard from so many friends/relatives in different parts of the world saying we should be proud. We stand strong. We are Canadian eh. ??

My government chose America First is what I heard you say.

Who even cares what trump's 'response' is?? It'll just be more lies and propaganda, and we've heard it all before. I wouldn't waste my time. It's all about a cash-grab for him and Elon...that's what it's always all about...how can I grift money off my taxpayers and abuse my position of power for 4 years to do so. He's just a callous POS.

Is Zelensky crawling back to kiss Trump's ring?? I heard he was. Y'all better stand up to evil politics instead of bending over.\n\nUS extorting resources from their ally = colonialism.

What happened to the 100% Tariff on Tesla? Havent heard mention of this in weeks...

I have heard many people call Trump many things. Accusing him of being smart is probably the most off base thing I've ever heard anybody say about him? There is nothing smart about idiot Trump

I've heard his popularity is way down in Canada. They should look at Trump a little more closely.

I'm Canadian and this is the best speech I've heard Trudeau make as Prime Minister! \nThe support of other countries is heart-warming. \nElbows Up!

Even with every ridiculous thing Trump has claimed or done and despite his love for Pukin and Russia, there are relatively 'normal' people in the u.s. who think he's sane and doing great, one reason I've heard being 'There's less Mexicans around'. I ask again, can anyone in the u.s. aim straight? If so, your failing country needs you.

I wish I had heard this type of language about Netanyahu .

Never heard him talk this good

Wow - what a speech.\nNever heard it before in such a manner from a politican.\nI have to say this as a german.\nWish we had in germany someone who speaks clear facts and talks directly to the people.\nAdmiring that he also speaks directly to Trump - in clear words.\nMuch respect to Canada.\nStanding with you ❤️.\n\nHopefully wars will end immediately.\nPeace worldwide.

Trudeau have had enough of Trump???? this is the first time I heard him speak so strongly.

Even when leaders of other countries speak “harshly” which I think is really just speaking directly, but the leaders I’ve heard in their harsh’s tones, never speak the despicable language that Trump uses with his derogatory, name-calling and vicious, lashing out that he does he never pauses, take a deep breath and can consider the 2% of truth his adversaries are speaking of he simply can’t negotiate or compromise or even listen for God sake. He’s only a few years older than me. We have learned by this age to shut our mouths and listen sometimes, but not him. No, he has not learned that lesson. He has not learned to listen to others and to care for others.

I'm sure the only thing that Trump heard was Trump is smart. (I'm sure most of the world heard that as a punchline)

Trump was telling his MAGA Republicans that Canada is not a viable country without USA and that they subsidize Canada - Does trump know the difference between trade deficits, surplus and subsidizes??? I have never heard such an UNINTELLIGENT Leader as Trump - someone who is actually a Leader of Country - he is either ininformed or an outright LIER ?? How can anyone with even half a brain vote for that to represent them?? And now we also witness he is a BULLY. Unbelievable!!!!

i heard canada already had tariffs on american goods. is this true or false??? media please explain

This is the best speech I've heard in a long time. Truth, and only truth!

I've never heard someone speak so clearly and straightforward with politics in over 10 years.

Prime Minister Trudeau, I am sorry President Trump's irresponsible ideas and choices affect so many negatively which includes you and your Canadians, and me and my Americans, as well as so many other. He should be ashamed of himself, but we all know that a narcissist feels only joy in hurting others. I worry every day, not just for the people of the United States of America, but also for all people around the world affected by this horrible man. I stand up and speak up with the hope that it makes a difference. Those I know are doing the same. I have heard so many republicans that voted for Trump, so very sorry now that they did. His irrational behavior is worthy of impeachment. Your speech, Prime Minister Trudeau, was honest and sincere and I appreciate your being so candid. I wish President Trump and Vice President Vance had the character you have. Best Wishes to you and the People of Canada, we have been friends for a long time and I would love to continue this friendship. Remember there are Americans here that appreciate you and your country.

Thats a great speech, but i have a question for the canadians: i heard that quality of life has suffered so much, less income, rising prices, problems with immigration and crime. Is it true?\nI hope we, europe, canada and the free world, can pull it together!

Today, I heard a true North American leader who very aptly described the situation leading up to these silly tariffs, the actions his country took to avoid the tariffs. P.M. Trudeau openly spoke of the changes that the wannabe Orange Julius threatened and why the U.S. wasn't being realistic. \n\nI know some people criticized the Prime Minister recently, but you have a great politician who is actually defending his country!!! Unite behind him and kick MAGA's arse!

Don’t let his BS fool you! Look around in your own communities. Look at the health care system. How many do you know that don’t have a GP so can’t get proper care even though they are sick. The ER tells us we have to have a general practitioner to get anything done! And then there are communities like on Vancouver Island that have closed ER’s in many cities leaving the injured to drive for 2 to 4 hours to the nearest ER. Have any Canadian citizens not heard of fentanyl deaths? Or had someone within 6 people from them have related addiction issues. How many homeless people wander the streets of your communities? This list goes on and on including things like affordable groceries , affordable homes , affordable utilities! \nACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS! Do Justin Trudeau and his parties actions over their term in office really covey their concern for Canadian citizens? I say NOT!

WHY? \n1. The USA starting expanding NATO even though we said we would NOT (Thank Clinton)\n2. We did it again even though Russia said please don't (Thank Bush)\n3. Putin supposedly meet with a international group of news reporters to complain about. (I never heard that in the News did you?)\n4. We then said we were considering to except Ukraine into NATO. (Kinda like a Russian version of our Cuban Missile Crisis)\n5. Russia's Military is not equal so cant use that against threat but Russia is very good at Internet attacks. (2016 Russia attacked our Election and got Trump Elected)\n6. We did pretty much nothing about Russia attacking our Election, and they continued to attack our election in 2020 and 2024 (Why do you think Trump favors Russia)\n7. DOJ and Judicial System failed us in not prosecuting Trump in a timely matter. (When the Supreme Court is rigged we all fall down)\n\nGood luck to all the good people out there.\nGod save us

That's what these libs will never understand, you can't make consignments with these people and expect to appease them they'll always push for more and more until you have nothing left not to mention doing these consignments causes infighting which is also part of their plan. I can't tell you how many times I've heard a Democrat say these leftists aren't doing anything like excuse me Karen.

I’ve heard enough…..Taking my Talents up North.

Lots of opinion spoken over the prime minister. I wish I could have heard his q and a

One of the best speeches I have ever heard from a politician. It was great!

One of the best political statements I have ever heard. As a European/Swedish citizen, we are all behind the great people of Canada

I’m pretty sure I heard somewhere that Canada already had tariffs against the United States and now that the United States is finally retaliating to make the playing field even everybody wants to whine and complain

Best speech I’ve heard since Winston Churchill. And of importance.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau thank you for your address to Americans, to the american Bully in chief, and to your people. I am among those who started pushing back before trump took office, many are. We’re watching legislation and countering it. It won’t be easy, but we, the other half who understand that trump is crooked and dysfunctional, will not give up. Generally, Americans are not great when it comes to hitting the pavement and letting our voices be heard, but we’re getting much better. We need to be more like France, but without the destructive automobile fires and other property destruction. Life will be hell here, in my own democratic country, until the Bully is gone. I want the entire republican party gone, they only serve themselves via stock insider information, and messed up wishes to control a dystopian society while kowtowing to the billionaires. I want the democrats rebranded to acknowledge the important social programs we have. Let’s face it, they did not protect us from this trump/project 2025 takeover. Instead they allowed unchecked lies, and the ability to buy his way into office with so many felonies under his huge belt. In a country that is intellectually compromised, lies are very effective weapons against democracy. We need better hate laws to control this lying issue.

DONT THREATEN US BUKO OR WE' LL RAISE IT TO 60 PERCENT YA HEARD! ?
