The Trump regime just signed an English-only mandate. If Canada fails in this they won't even be allowed to speak French.

Canada…do they speak English, yes they do, then they belong to America.

As an American: can I move to Canada, please? I don't speak French, but I am very fluent in English, and have a good command of Spanish. I'm a good worker.

Fidel´s son speaks excellent English. Commendable.

“Alright while the prime minister speaks in french”. I was expecting an English translation but received a casual uninterested spiel à la Ron Burgundy.

Justin Can speak Fluent English and French. Trump speaks gibberish English and Fluent Russian... Hmmm

So impressed with Trudeau naturally switching from speaking english to french. And to you donald, are you really smart to do the dumb thing?

Trump is an idiot, a traitor, a crook. \n\nWell done MAGA America on voting in this moron TWICE.\n\nI'm not Canadian, they're too nice to write as I have. However my feelings are shared worldwide in the democracies than America now shuns.\n\nYou'd better start learning Russian. You don't deserve to speak English anymore.

TRUMP cannot even speak his on poor American English

Trudeau speaks English beautifully.

God forbid you just throw some subtitles up for the French part. No, just speak right over it. God forbid Americans are exposed to any language but English.

Its so funny that when he stops speaking english they stop broadcasting what he is saying and start talking over him. Low class of journalists at cnn.

We don’t care what y’all saying, put back on the press release. How are you talking right over him when he’s now speaking in English?

10 min into it: Are you serious?? You'd like to seize the opportunity of a foreign head of state not speaking English TO SIMPLY STOP LISTENING TO HIM?

It is so dumb to put a tariff on Canada..we're just brother and sister..Canadians bring a lot of business to our town and we speak the same language aka English..Why? We have to do this ?

A President addresses the world. My people listen attentively and take notes. Trump is a small man who doesn't speak English correctly as a native speaker.

Join the EU! Warmest regards from Germany. You would be welcome indeed. Why they speak english when the prime minister speaks french? Irritating.

......he is someone I would Love Leading my Country, especially right now. Then to further make Trump look like a dumbass, he did his speech in a different language...fluidly. Trump can barely speak English.

Here's an idea, CNN: when Trudeau switches to French, you get a French translator! I wanted to hear what he said in French too! And you have to know by now that whenever the Canadian prime minister speaks, there will be a mix of French and English. Always. Be prepared!

Trump Speaks English \nLike his uneducated\nConstituents in the deep South.

Wow ! A President that speaks on not just English…but we got one here that can barely speak or understand English! A trade war with our neighbors is not smart is Dumb! Just Dumb!!!

Lol, he speaks more slowly when addressing the American people and even more so when addressing Donald in comparison to when addressing Canadians, be it in English or French.

14:19 we can hear him, he speaks English

Wow, this is an American President who can talk coherently. I suggest that Canada invites all US-American States who still have a sane sense to join the United States of Canada. I bet, the world would be in a better state if we had leaders like President Trudeau. Chose between a babbling and overtaxed old man and an intelligent man who makes sense!\n(Should I have made any spellings mistakes, it's probably because English is not my native language, so please hold back on your hatred you trolls out there. At least I speak other languages ;)

Speak slower please the pace is too blistering and incomprehensible for us dumb American's. We just made english our official language so please exercise patience and slow it down to no more than three words per minute.

There won't be a reaction from the White House for at least three days, because they are too stupid to understand what Trudeau is saying. Trudeau speaks English, but Trump speaks turd.

Trudeau speak his 2nd language, English, better than some Americans.

This wont work, Trudeau is speaking English, trump only speaks Russian

Isn’t it painfully obvious how all other countries have leaders that are poised and articulate EXCEPT ours!? Incredibly embarrassing we have a jackass. Musk is no better. Don’t kid yourself ……English IS his native language yet he speaks like a buffoon as well!

Mr Trudeau is an eloquent adult who is fluent in two languages; DumbF is a capricious toddler who can barely speak English. How embarassing.

I can't find a single minimum-wage job meanwhile every single Tim Hortons and McDonalds around here is full of indians that barely speak English.

Why we are normalising this racism face by Indian ? what the benefit of having so much english speaking internet users when we can't trend a #.so that the topic of racism face by india become global news.????

How the heck 6.9 millions students from India got admission illegal strip clubs in Brampton/Surrey BC and Malton none of them read write or speak English or go to school, it's simply pathetic, sickening disgusting and beyond my imagination

you know before covid, we receive calls from indian Canadian, they speak English. now indian they just call to speak indian. that's weird.

Those wouldn't be in fear...if they had entered legally. Speaking English is the step.

*NOTHING is permanent ....... except CHANGES !!!!* \nCANADA has been changed lately for ...... BAAAAD ....... in the last 30 years !!!! \nI speak English, Italian, Polish & Russian, as well ....\nGood luck to you dear Alina.

Hi I'm from Russia and I would say that mostly people who lives in english speaking countries they usually can only tell about wealth privilegues of having particular passport, offical status of their country and that's it. for my personal opinion the motherland is something that is more than that. I didn't travel much somewhere but I've been abroad and I would say - nowhere is better than here in Russia for me. And those people who just moved there to foreign counties from Russia as example they pretend that it's much better for them in completely alien country. that's a bull shit as I guess because each people is like a spider who since it was given a birth is spreading out it's net in particular place (their parents, friends, first love, lovely places, and etc) and since they moved somewhere all this NET will be torn for a long time or forever and never restored anymore. and for my personal opinion immigration is BULL SHIT and I would do it in a completely disparate situation. And I see nothing common with english speakers in mentality, everything that you're interested in is a personal wealth and interest in everything. Russians in this way are much better.

He speaks way better english than most chinese

Why Canadians speak french n English?

Was America supposed to find jobs for 16,000 none english speaking strangers, or were they counting on welfare? It's a fair questin.

It’s ok for Canadians because they are white and speak English❤

This county will never be safe as long as trump is president. He hates immigrants but married 2 of them who could barely speak English. What a hypocrite.

So if I bronze my skin, come in speaking broken english and have no I.D. I will get a free hotel.

And barely any of them speak English. They dont want to assimilate to our country, they just want to take from our country. Go home and fix your ? hole countries...

Hello thanks for the great news \n.. I can only speak English

If they want to come to North America ,speak English and stop thinking they can defraud people to make make money,it’s time countries change their rules not only for Indians but for every one who think they can cheat our countries.

Recent Indians, in the last 10 years, are disrespectful and not even attending school or school visas. Some estimates 50,000 never even enrolled. That's fraud. Canadians are sick of the scammers, people living 20 in a house, the garbage, the illegal truck drivers, the filth, and the blatant disrespect for Canadian values. Go home and leave. Service workers are among the most arrogant and can barely speak English. Why are they here? They are not good candidates for immigration to Canada.

It really isn't civic sense that's causing these refusals. It's the fraudulent documents that Indians submit. I am studying in Australia and majority of my class mates are Indians, Pakistani and Nepali. And more than half of them can't even speak decent English but their IELTS scores are all above 7. Academic misconduct, particularly buying assignments from a 3rd party, is highest among them. And also, these people are lucky that ChatGPT is there.

Stop this mass immigration already. It doesn’t even feel like Canada anymore and has ruined our housing and social services. I work in public service in healthcare. Literally 1/2 of my patients don’t even speak English.
