Wow... haven't heard a good speech like this in awhile. This is how an adult with manners speaks.

I always thought trump is the Manchurian candidate . Slowly destroying within . Just surprised or not that ordinary American can’t figure that out. Trudeau was never have a good approval rating and now he have resigned from his party soon that he rating suddenly gone up because of this tariff. Good luck American . Stay strong Canadian , time to trade with eu

Trudeau became a raly good politician.. confident. I like him, wish more were like that. Cheers to Canada from EU. Who would think US will side with Russia

From one American, good luck Canada.

Canada ??? We will fight against the h00dlooms in the WH and his minions. An inspiring speech which is the extreme opposite of that ? ?‍?. This is how to address those people without being antagonistic. Canadians are indeed good polite people and can never be disparaged.

You Talking real good PM Trudeau!!! ????

So good. It’s about time leaders stop tip-toeing around Trump and tell it like it is. Back the fuck off, Donnie.

American I agree with Canada a trade war not a good idea

Very good talk

If he is selling himself to Americans and abusing President Trump. Why does he not accept the unification with the United States and become its 51st state? Then, he can try his luck to become President of the United States. That's good for the world as well, and good for Canadian people as well.

Canada put in place 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs, so what’s wrong with US put in place 25% tariffs on Canadian made goods?

Somewhat right but not exactly right. According to Trump admin, Trump is actually trying to stop the circumvention of Chinese goods and Chinese drugs coming from Canada. Trudeau promised Trump to work on the drug issue, but I guess he did not if we are seeing the significant import tax on Canada now. And come on Trudeau, you dislike Trump and aren't exactly his friend. You talked back on him on many international stages. Anyways, I wish you two get along eventually and hope the same for US and Canada.

Good on you Prime Minister. Strong stand against the incomprehensible Trump.

Your speech don’t make any sense at all with the far-left propaganda \nand you only go against good loyal people with warm hearts, but when you encounter a real monster or wild animal, you immediately tuck your tail, retreat, and suffocate in fear.

Now Trudeau is standing strong and yes his country now shows strength. Can’t be our 51st no matter being called a governor! He speaks like a good PM\nWe love and support Canada ??

Good speach, by Trudeau!\nMight not been a very good leader, but this he did good.

Whenever I need to feel good about myself, I read the comment section on a CNN YouTube video

Sorry as a American this is our life's at risk .keep your proud stance.proud stance for Canada.We are in tears losing our great country to criminals God Bless Canada we our scared stressed for our social security, health care and our anger at the thugs taking away our relationship our fear to keep breathing and enjoy our past relationships Thankyou for your love to all people God is good God help us !???????? Jim

I cancelled my travel over/around U.S.RUSSIA, and buy anything but ??. Good luck, neighbors! Poke a polar bear, ride a sled dog to hell!

Good on Canada

Hello from Germany ??! Let’s do trade on gas, oil and more! (Germany and Europe) I must say: great speech and with all respect ? Canada ? was represented here, even his ratings are not good. But this was a historic speech and address which no other leader in Canada do better ??

Justin Trudeau is a parasite...he caused 86% food inflation, causing millions of Canadians to have to rely on food banks, while Trudeau spent $81k of Canadian taxpayers dollars on groceries for himself this year alone...Trudeau underfunded Canada in relation to NATO, underfunded Canada in relation to NORAD, ticked off Trump by being rude to him in the past so that now Trump launches an economic trade war against Canada cause he just wants to hurt Canada to hurt Trudeau. Yes, Trump is an absolute economic imbecile as this trade war will cause Great Depression 2 in America and Canada (unless he invades which I think he will in some years) but the thing I hate the most about this is that Trump makes Trudeau look like the good guy in all this when Trudeau ruined Canada beforehand...all Trump needed to do was SHUT UP and let the Canadian perpetual liar LEAVE office...now we all pay the price for Trump's hatred of Justin Trudeau :(

I'm so proud of Canada very nice people i have visited Canada in 2016 i had a Job in Iraqi embassy I'm from Iraq and I say Canada really don't deserve this they are just really good people May God bless you all and peace be upon this Earth ❤❤

Good for you Trudeau !!!! I am an American and I totally understand where you are coming from and you are exactly right! I love Canada and the Canadian people. Saying it and showing it are 2 different things. Shame on the ones who don't show it. God bless you and Canada, Trudeau ???

Good on you Canada, Australia supports your standing up to Trump. He has even hit Australia with tariffs on steel and Aluminium. Trump is a criminal and a traitor to his country.

Good job canada

Decades of zombie programming from Fox hypnotized our worse half to believe black is white and down is up. They now somehow believe obviously damaging actions from their low-tone, smooth-brained, moronic orange god are good. We're obviously lining up to Russian wants and not our people. It's wild how dumb many of our people are. Those of us that are sane hear you, Justin. Maybe we'll see the US come to it's senses, but for now, by all means, do what you need to do.

Now, this looks and sounds like a balanced, intelligent, knowledgeable world leader. Good job, Canadians

America first babe, go trade worh someone else will survive without you can you survive without us….good luck bit

Well said Mr. Prime Minister. This will hurt ALL the good people from both sides of the border. Hope this will be resolved soon.

Good luck !!

Very good response, great communication and reasonable. Big fan of Canada. Disappointed we are at this point with our neighboring country. Not a good move Donald. Russia, really?

Narcissistic Trudeau is a good example of what’s wrong with this world. I don’t believe a word he says, and Trump sees straight through his woke nonsense.

Trum is treasure hunter, he is a good bisnismen not political player. If u give trum investmen, u will get good treatmen from trum. U need learn from india.

Trump only cares about himself and his billionaire oligarchs...unlike you who care about the people of Canada, trump does not care, our well being and ability to survive his schemes, taking our tax dollars for his rich friends, do what you must to protect your good people and just come back with humanitarian help for any remaining needs Americans once trump is eliminated!! Go Canada, take care of yourselves at any cost. 49.5% of idiot Americans voted for this situation, so they need to suffer trumps rather before they ta k è action to stop him!

I know a lot of people are tired of JT. And they have their reasons. But as a Canadian, I have to say that he did a good job addressing this issue. He literally came across as a concerned Canadian citizen that doesn't want this trade war. He truly doesn't. Nobody does. I gotta give props to JT on this one. He may have made some mistakes, but he did a good job addressing these terrible tariffs.

There you have a good leader. Take notes! \nI think you will ride through this Canada - now trade with us in Europe and you have friends over here. You are wellcome here.

This is crazy,,the building sector will be destroyed, building supplies will sky rocket,and who going to building these structures now that immigrants are gone..Businesses will close as many businesses won't be able to afford business supplies and dont forget about Mexico tariffs so get your gardens going because vegetables will be just as costly as eggs,now china is doing the same with their goods coming from china..the American citizens will struggle and they closed the consumer protection agency .so fraud and corruption will be running blind on America and every American will be naked in the face of fraud and corruption..GOOD LUCK AND WATCH YOUR DIX FOLKS..

Well, we in South East Asia prefer that you, friends, fighting each other. Keep up the fighting please. If you, friends, are fighting, you leave us alone. You won't incite us to fight among our own friends. With you fighting among, friends, we can actually have our peace. It is for the good of the world. Keep yourselves in your part of the world.

Hard to see the good in any of this.

So proud of Justin Trudeau today. He is a decent man and leader, speaking the truth. I wish for the American people the same, a good leader to come, someone new. What is happening right now in the States is horrible and dangerous. No words.

From Australia, Good on ya Canada!

Canada should block all US imports, not just put tariffs on US goods. No one in Canada will buy US goods anyway.

Wait..does this mean Canada is now going to have a 285% tariff on our dairy goods? Yeah, that's for all the people who don't know what's currently going on, and just jump on the Trump hate bandwagon without researching anything.

Well good luck with tarrifing US and fighting the Fed and watch our inflation also go up \n\nWelp the feds can always raise rates but us? Haha good luck

Good for you Justin Trudeau, your Father (a great Canadian), would be proud of you. Now, get together with the Premiers and map out how Canada can overcome this attack and come out stronger on the other side.

Sane Americans stand with you, Canada. We stand with Ukraine and the good citizens of the world. We will never align ourselves with Trump and his toxic Maga cult. We stand beside the rest of the world in fighting this traitorous coup.

Very good response, Trump could never match his class.

As an American, why can't we have a leader this good! SMH. Stay strong Canada, we stand with you & Ukraine!

Blistering? Lol. Okay! Nobody cares what this tool has to say. He's out at the end of this month! Canada will lose this battle every time. Good job CNN. You just made yourself look stupid again! You guys are good at that
