America is not putting tariffs upon you... Just the idiot new dictator trump. All your words are reasonable and sane and correct. We do not even understand how or why he has decided the victim Zelensky is somehow at fault, while putin who the entire world hates, who is actively destroying his own country... Is somehow trumps boyfriend. ::Stares empty:: America has zero idea why. Well said Justin Trudeau.

Did he really used the D... word

This is a true PM. Legend. Great speech. Worrying intro words. Confirmed Donald is with the Russians.

I HOPE TRUMP WATCHED AND LISTENED TO THIS , EVERY WORD . \nDonald Trump is a scoundrel . ?

Trudeau and Carney ate the Trump of the left.... don't believe one word coming out of this guys mouth. He's been putting tariffs on his own citizens for almost a decade in the form of a Carbon Tax. And it's set to go up again soon. Fuck Trudeau. They've. prorogued government during the time we need them the most to avoid a vote of none confidence because they're cowards making back room deals to benefit them and not Canadians. This is a show from a drama teacher that his handler Carney told him to put on. We need an election in a bad way.

I wish my country's (NZ) leader was this eloquent and well-spoken, with facts to back up his words.

It gets so deep when you blah blah blah. You have no word of your bs

It gets so deep when you blah blah blah. You have no word of your bs

Now that he's on his way out, he gives his best speech ever?! American people, we thank you for words of support. NOW, figure out a way to get rid of Trump and the oligarchs. It will bring down democracy everywhere if America goes down this dictatorial path. WWIII will never be Zelenskyy's fault, it will be your country's fault. Ensure that he does not trample your constitution and find military backing to stay on past the four years if you can't get rid of him soon. Get your representatives in Washington to work against this guy, whether they are Republicans or Dems. In all our countries, we have been complacent, streaming movies, gaming, buying stuff we don't need AND we've elected far too many morons! We need to use the power of democracy to form government to our needs, not the corporate world and oligarchs!

Awesome n truer words… just join the EU and you will be fine. Isolate that crazy folk ?

Trudeau is an idiot, his words don't matter. If he does not want tariffs he should drop tariffs on America's products. Really simple. The fact that he's resigning means he doesn't even have a say.

As an American, I wish I was a Canadian at this time. I don't stand by the T admin... They are all insane. The Prime Minister's speech was so articulate, smart, and compassionate. He doesn't sound harsh but strong and confident. And not anti-American but empathizing with American citizens. Not sure why these CNN folks used those words.

trudeau all you have done for Canada and Canadians in 10 years is try your best to destroy us. Why should we believe anything you say. How many $ billions have you embezzled? The worst thing is you gave iot to fake agencies overseas that looks like money laundering. NOTHING for Canada or Canadians. I'll steal your words to trump. This and you are REALLY DUMB!

What a nice suit and shirt sorry can’t concentrate on your words

I certainly hope it doesn’t seem as though all Americans agree with what Trump is doing because many of us certainly do not. He doesn’t understand what the word diplomacy means unfortunately. With inflation rates rising, a trade war is one of the worst possible scenarios, and I agree with the Prime Minister. There are no winners here. Everyone gets hurt.

Too many words / be more terse

Canada: our closest ally and our closest friend. No truer words ever spoken, Prime Minister Trudeau. Were it not for our government, and by government, we mean the idiots in charge of our executive branch, we would have no new tarriffs. Left to our own devices, we might be reasonable, though that is somewhat dubious given our recent plebecite, which reintroduced the world to the sick, evil terrorist organization known as the Trump administration.

Trudeau's words mean nothing any more.\nActually, they never did. Don't be fooled

How is it journalistic commentary to quote word for word what we just listened to?

Trump Supporters will not listen to a word of this. They will suffer and believe Trump when he blames our plight on anything other than himself

Harsh words? How?

Imagine Donald Trump and Elone put few words into sentences that make sense lol

Thanks for using small words when addressing Trump directly, not like the arrogant clown will listen, but it was nice to use dumbed-down language so he might understand

Americans Thank you !! Truer words never be spoken !!

He was careful to use small words to speak to the small man. I wish he was our president.

Traitor tRUMP doesn’t know what sticking to one’s word means!

You people from XYZ are really like the EU hypocrites that all you got is words. As a Canadian, I hate Trudeau and everything his government has done to the country. I want a PM like Trump that is willing go against the entire system(deep state) and dig out all the dirt even though you're in the way of a lot of powerful people and organizations. Out of all the world leaders today, Trump is the only one with that kind of courage. Compare that to Trudeau—aside from his nice suits and polished public image, what has he actually done to improve the lives of Canadians? \nWe need a DOGE go into WHY WE ARE PAYING SO MUCH TAXES. When I was living in Vancouver, I (and many ppl) would just drive cross the border to get gas and groceries because it's just much cheaper once you're on US soil.... For years we cannot retain any talents because they would just migrate to the states because the pay is much higher with less taxes. I used to live in a bubble thinking that even though life is tough and it's harding to make a living here but at least it's more peaceful here than the States. That is not the case anymore and everything is getting worse in the past 10 years.

Man, can we have this guy? He makes sense and he knows what all the words mean.

Trump is still telling the same lies. He rambles on and on and speaks nonsensical words. He is friends with Putin , he wants to make the USA his personal monopoly game. He threatens republican congressmen with harm and even death so he can control them. He is mentally unstable and ready to be committed in a mental facility. What will it take to get our congressmen to stand up for the good hardworking people of the USA instead of for a man who is hell bent on making the usa his oersonsl dictatorship.

I think the US president is making the US economy worse, taxes and prices in the country will increase, and relations with other countries will not be good. Since taking office, he has only focused on the small number of rich people with a lot of money, while 90% of the population is struggling with prices and taxes, so he has nothing to care about. What did the American people vote for him to do? To make people's lives better, to have more jobs, to make taxes better...etc. He only talks but has not done anything. The words of a rich person like him are not trustworthy.

It is very sad that Trudeau waited until he was having the door slammed behind him to actually get a backbone. While his words sound great - they mean nothing. He will not be our Prime Minister for long. He literally has about 2 weeks. It’s the equivalent of taking a dump on your bosses desk because you won the lottery. No consequences.

He’s done well, up until he used the word dumb on the orange man. He will fixate on that and now all the well intended and strategic words of persuasion are lost. He will not back down because this guy has a maturity of primary school kids he takes it so personal.

Fantastic speech … I only wish he (and others) would stop using the Russian word ‘tsar’ instead of leader - we don’t want Russian leaders!

Did that woman literally say that Trudeau was being harsh have you ever heard Donald Trump talk about anybody have you ever heard him talking about Trudeau Donald Trump is straight up disrespectful and makes fun of people to their f****** faces on national camera but yet you say Trudeau was using harsh words when he was being polite as can be

As a Canadian I am very proud of the way our Prime Minister handled himself. Reading all the kind words from Americans and citizens around the world it gives me hope that there is still good in this world. Thank you ??

Words from a leader we all wanted to have

In history till now… White House are hanky panky, cocky and bastard. Puppet Prime! \nThey do keep their word in beginning but somehow there will bastard you in the end.

My admiration to Mr Trudeau for his words. That's how an honorable man speaks. Canada will stay strong!

Trudeau's words would fall on deaf ears.... Trump only listens to Putin...

These Trump tariffs are STUPID! YEAH LETS GIVE MEXICO N CANADA OUR FRIENDS 25% BUT ONLY CHARGE CHINA 10% PATHETIC! REVERSE THE TARIFFS NOW! AND HELP UKRAINE FINISH THIS WAR THE TIME TO STOP ARMING THEM WAS THE BEGINNING NOT NOW WE WILL PAY DEARLY FOR NOT SAVING UKRAINE IT WILL COST US 200 X TIMES MORE IN THE LONG RUN ! MARK MY WORDS

Notice how he slowed his speech and broke it down in small words, “big things,” “smart guy” when speaking directly to Trump? It’s like watching another adult explain things to a child and it’s so embarrassing but also so necessary.

Trudeau is able to combine words to make convincing sentences, unlike Trump, who falters and stumbles when three or four words are combined. I hope that Canadians win. And if anyone hasn't noticed, Trudeau has spoken fluently without a script.

The words of a socialist nuckhead ! He should move to California with his leftist agenda !

Inflation cominnup cuz biden he did Trump never did . And why biden give 300 billón dollars to ucraine. You. Canadian. . bla bla bla. Never Say ..Word to biden hmmm

Its a wake up call for Canada , self sufficient is the word

Justin is a total embarrassment. Liar, too. Couldn't just secure the borders and reverse safe drug and soft on crime bs. Cant even listen to justin, every word can be proven otherwise.

Trump cant put 2 words together and call it a sectence.

Trudea is doing the right thing and saying true words. The US government should be ashamed

Please attend to this, Australia. Your media has no idea. Every word of this should be ringing through the halls of our Parliament, prompting urgent rethinking of where we stand in the geopolitical landscape.

Dude had 20 days left till they kick him out. His words are empty. He let Indians overrun their country country
