Very good speech by Honourable Prime Minister of Canada Mr. Justin Trudeau

Nooo, Mr Trudeau, why are you exposing the effect of tariffs!!?? Now Trump will reconsider his policies... I want him to go all-out!!

Born in Europe, brought up and trained into my profession as a researcher, in France, in the UK, in the Middle East, in Africa, and having been a permanent resident of the USA for almost 25 years, I can state that I agree 100 with what Trudeau stated, with the exception of one little detail If Donald Trump is as Mr. Trudeau suggests, an intelligent man, than he is simply detesting all Americans... and if is able to prove me wrong than one has to accept that Mr. Trudeau is wrong in believing Mr Trump to be an intelligent man, because even a ten-year-old is understanding that this tariff war is truly stupid and will not only damage the economy but will further deplete the coffers of businesses that are essential to world growth.

Bravo Mr. Trudeau!

I rarely speak...yet I should have been there before this happened and voted in the favor of Justin Trudeau. Shocked by fellow people claiming his behavior. But I see he stepped out on his own to own it. I'm a very proud Scientologist and believe in you. I believe in Mr Hubbard yet no one has seen the world to freedom as Trudeau is. All else are speculation and worry of doubt and incapable abilities that help no one. Huh.

THIS IS A LEADER! This is how a leader should speak. Without an ounce of arrogance but full of factful compassion. Truth be told, Mr Trudeau is one of my favourite leaders of a country. He may have issues, but which leader doesn't right. Look at what Trump is doing now. Great speech, Sir. I feel so proud of ??.

Well said Mr Trudeau. How can the Government of the USA stand by and allow this happen to their closest ally. I’m delighted to hear a clear and articulate statement from a country leader, that isn’t spiteful and argumentative and bullying. The rest of the World will stand with Canada.

You’re 100% correct Mr Trudeau except that we DID chose to do this when the other 50% elected this government. ?

Who knew Mr. Trudeau would rise a hero after his resignation. Such an inspiring speech.

Mr. Trudeau, As an American who has never voted for Trump, I apologize for the person we currently have in the White House, and wish Canada and Mexico the best. Do what you have to do, and hopefully it will cause enough disruption that Trump will have to retreat. Most of us consider Canadians and Mexicans our friends. A lot of people in the US are contacting our representatives in Congress, participating in economic boycotts, and joining groups like the ACLU that are bringing lawsuits against some of the actions that have already occurred. God bless Canada and Mexico!

We know you don't want this Mr. Trudeau and our Canadian friends.\nUnfortunately, we have an Orange Coconut for president that was put into office by MAGA Coconuts and stupid/lazy democrats who either voted for him or did not vote at all.\n\nWe are in a stupor and really don't know what to do at this time.

So sad that our government knows how to SCREW UP A FRIENDSHIP. Hear, hear Mr. Trudeau you have my total respect.

Obviously, if we want the truth, we go to Mr. Trudeau.

Please, Mr. Trudeau understand the United States did not do that Donald Trump. Did we love our neighbors, true Americans, love our neighbors and understand how important they are.✌?❤️

Mr. Trudeau please go to war with us, take us over and become our President, seriously, I am not joking. I want to leave the U.S. and work in Canada because of this evil regime.

As eloquent and dignified Mr. Trudeau is here, and how rational his response is, it's wasted breath. You can't reason with an entitled child. We tried to reason with the children that were voting for him and it fell on deaf ears. He's no different. They know it all, all while knowing absolutely nothing. There's no changing their minds. I hope with all of my being that this hits those who support him the hardest and brings them significant financial pain. Elections have consequences and their vote needs consequences too. \n\nIn my 56 years, I've never been embarrassed to be an American. Thanks Donald, I now am. You did that.

I am so embarrassed and sickened by my government. I live in WA state and have always loved and respected Canada. Mr. Trudeau you are a far superior leader and human than anyone in our government today. God bless you and Canada, and I pray for my country everyday.

I stand with Canada and Ukraine Well done Mr Trudeau that was the best speech i have ever heard well done ?

well said, Mr. Trudeau

That is truth Mr. Trudeau???Thanks, Canada

We Americans trust our President Mr. Trump. Not you, Mr. Trudeau.

I'm with Canada wholeheartedly. I apologize for this dumbfuckery, Mr. Trudeau. Every day, when I wake up, I wonder: Is he gone yet? That's my current wish. Trump accused Kamala Harris of wanting to bring the country to World War III, but is he, a FIVE-TIME DRAFT DODGER, who is itching to have blood and death at a global level, in his name. He is a shameful loser, and Putin's puppet.❤

Thank you Mr Trudeau. You are great man sorry on our side we have oposite man -shame and dictector

This doesnt bother me. Im pretty sure Canada already Tarrifs US products. And Mr. Trudeau has some incorrect information on the illegal percentages along with fentyal statistics. something along the lines of 30% comes across from the Canadian border.

I have to confess I don´t know much about the actual canadian politics. But this reaction of Mr. Trudreau was very impressive. As a german European I know we are together in this completely insane situation initalised by the pathetic performance of the Trump administration. But with Canada on our side, with a strong leader as Trudeau I´m optimistic that the european leaders will also unite and focus not on their differences but on the common interest to stop this destructive US Goverment from destroying the free western society.

Mr. Trudeau spoke, facts, directly and clearly to Trump and his Administration...very proud of how he is taking control of this situation ??

I APPLUAD YOU, PRIME MINISTER MR. TRUDEAU\nAND AS AN AMERICAN I WANT YOU TO KNOW I STAND WITH CANADA??, MEXICO THE UK & EUROPE. NOT RUSSIA. \nI BACK THE UKRAINIANS ??\nGOD BLESS YOU\nGOD BLESS ALL OF US.\nI APOLOGIZE FOR HAVING AN IDIOT IN THE WHITEHOUSE.

Although I don't support Mr. Trudeau, these tariffs help no one

Keep up the good fight Mr Trudeau you’re speaking for all of us!

Completely with you Mr. Trudeau, You had one thing wrong though, the fact that trump is a smart man.

It's refreshing to hear the Leader of a Country, speak clearly and honestly without unneccessary superlatives. Trump could learn alot from Mr Trudeau. God Bless Canada and God Help the United States of America!

Bravo, Mr. Trudeau, hat off. Let's hope Donald finally understands that the Sun does not orbit around his belly button. He'd better play dominoes in an old folks' home than mess everyone's lifes. What a failed human being.

As a 72 yr old American in HI, I fully agree with Mr. Trudeau, and am profoundly turned off to Trump and his lap poodle, Vance.

I've never been so impressed with Trudeau. Thank you for representing us with strength and heart. Fuckin eh Mr Prime Minister

As an American Mr. Trudeau let me say that i highly respect the way you speak with education and dignity. Thank you for what your telling us. I didn't vote for this tyrant or these republican politicians. I hope those MAGA's are happy with how we are doing and the suffering that is coming shortly.

France stands with Canada. Bravo and well said Mr. Trudeau ! ???

Thank you Mr. Trudeau for realizing that the American people, obviously not our leaders, are with you and we will work this out!

I never voted for that dangerous man but feel ashamed as an American for this betrayal against our nicest and closest allies. The Canadians must be very proud of their great, smart and brave leader, Mr Trudeau

Its very annoying to have a journalist repeat what trudeau has already said, forcing us to miss the Q&A section^ \nThat said, WOW, trudeau has won my respect bigtime. This was prob the best speech ive ever heard from 'mr. nice guy' So very glad he spoke clearly and precisely to the usa public, he is and has done everything correctly

Hey hey hey, Mr. Trudeau..that is Dumpy Trump, not the American people. We agree with you, Sir!!!

Well said Mr Trudeau... ????????

Wrong Mr. Trudeau:\n\nThe AMERICAN VOTERS listened to Trump and chose to vote for him. They are the ones you need to tell:\n\nYOU voted for this leader, YOU created this trade war. \n\nVOTE BETTER next time!

MR. TRUDEAU, QST, THIS GOVERNMENT IS NOT! AMERICA'S! IT'S TRUMP'S, VANCE'S & MUSK 'S! & 2ND, THAT PUTIN SCUM SUCKING BASTARD IN THE WHITE HOUSE IS NOT! AMERICAN!! HE'S A SCUM SUCKING TREASONOUS TRAITOR TO THE LOWEST PVT. & SEAMEN IN OUR MILITARY & A BACK STABBING S.O B. TO NOT ONLY AMERICAN TAX PAYERS; BUT TO EVERY LONG TERM ALLIE WHO SHARED MUTUAL RESPECT, HONOR & TREASURED SECURITY TO ALL OUR PEOPLES OVER THE DECADES!

Compare Trump and Mr Trudeau purely on their demeanour and the words that they speak. Mr Trudeau has demonstrated here that he is a skilled statesman, he can speak coherently and powerfully. He's not spouting ridiculous insults in the face of Trump's tariffs. He may have fallen out of favour in Canada, but as a British citizen looking in, he stands head and shoulders above Trump and Vance. Thank you for your service Mr Trudeau.

Eine meinens Erachtens absolut richtige Haltung und bewundernswerte, reflektierte, pointierte Rede und Bewertung der desaströsen Situation seitens Präsident Trudeau.\nIn Deutschland sind wir überwiegend einfach fassunglos, wie zerstörerisch ein D.T. mit seiner Entourage binnen weniger Wochen Schneisen der Verwüstung in der Welt hinterlässt.\nChapeau, Mr Trudeau, für diese klaren Worte.

Mr clown Justin Trudeau are you Christian? ✋??I don't think so ?There are people are dying every-day doesn't matter Russian or Ukrainian what matters is people are dying every day every second every minute thousands people are dying, you are satan's clown

Then cancel the Carbon Tax Mr Trudeau.

Congratulations to Mr Trudeau on his excellent response to our crazy president. Glad you are our cousins, it makes me feel safer.

Mr. Trudeau is right on and not afraid of the tyrant Donald idiot Trump, but guess who will have to pay for stupid move by the republican idiot that 75 mil. people voted, yes we will pay the price.

Well spoken Mr Trudeau. I am proud to be Canadian. I feel sad for both countries. Can't believe that no judge is declaring the National Security argument as unjustified. I thought this was not possible to impose this without voting it properly if national security is not a real threat under the US constitution... And the argument of trade deficit is such a weird concept. Would Trump agenda be more evil here, and use economic force to force Canada to annex them because they want our resources?
