Congratulations Mr. Trudeau, you finally sound like our Prime Minister should. Now start making this country self sufficient so we don't have to rely on anyone. No more selling off our Crown corporations our land and other businesses to foreign countries. Keep Canada Canadian and give jobs to born Canadians first. Stock pile our oil and gas for our use and lower the prices of these things so that transportation cost make things easier for business and personal enjoyment. Don't tax the farmer so that they can supply food to everyone cheaper. We should not be struggling in this country which has all the natural resources . The unnatural population growth has put a strain on the whole system and in some cases put us in danger too. The crime rate has increased in large part to your lax immigration system. All the businesses increased the prices of everything due to this unnatural population growth. Supply and demand is not working the way it is supposed to anymore. In a normal household we make plans and prepare for changes. You just said ok, let's bring people here and forgot about the preparations. Infrastructure first man. If your going to bring half a million people over here, build the houses first bro. Nobody in Canada should be homeless which is another result of poor preparation. The housing prices and everything else went through the roof in large part due to the unnatural population growth. Anyway, think first before you act just like in a private home. Good luck Mr. Trudeau and everyone else. I hope it's not too late to get this country back on track so we can all enjoy life the way we used to....Peace

This is what a democratic LEADER sounds like!

Wow, this is what a sane person sounds like. Thank you Mr. Trudeau for a clear and concise explanation of this unfortunate situation. I am embarrassed by my country.

I forgot what an eloquent politician sounds like

Thats what a leader sounds like not Trump

That's what a TRUE LEADER sounds like. Not the BAFOON we have in office who sounds like a 5th grader ( no disrespect to 5th graders).

he knows how to handles baby Dumpty- be strong , don't back down but always compliment the ego of the weak sissy wanna be King. This what leader sounds like - I don't know his politics but at least he is well spoken , intellginet and and not an idiot like Dumpty

Didn't this mf freeze his own people's accounts and restrict FREEDOM OF SPEECH lmao ? Trudeaus a ?\nIdk sounds like a threat

Trudeau you sound like a baby why don’t you just take it like a man and grow your internal and external economy and stop crying and or kissing ass

Sounded to me like the greatest concern for CNN was a shortage of bourbon. Oh yeah, but there's more to life??

This is what a leader should sound like and look like.

Sounds like he is fixed everything within one month.

Wow!!! This is what a real leader sounds like..

I think Trudeau touched on what the actual plan is. It sounds like the whole plan was to weaken the Canadian economy to allow American billionaires to buy up Canada through the stock market They want to claim ownership of Canada's resources the same they have done to us.

This is what a real president sounds like ?

Wow! I have great respect for all the countries coming together as a whole. It's a shame we have such a lousy worthless President. By the way did you MAGA nut jobs hear what a real leader sounds like, it's Trudeau not your lunatic President you voted for. Trump would rather destroy his own country instead of bring it together. That's dictatorship not a great leader. We need to get rid of him before this gets worse or it's too late and he refuses to leave.

Don't get me wrong: This is sick and sad at the same time! Stand strong, Canada! Europe stands with you! Maybe we Europeans are going to import a lot more goods from you now, because Europe already plans to import much less from the... whatever is left over of the USA. But does Trudeau in this speech somehow sound like Dr. Breen in Half-Life 2 on the screens in City 17? ^^

This guy sounds and looks like a robot. America will be fine. We don't need Canada

Trudeau sounds like he’s threatening Americans and US President.

There's many reasons not to like Trudeau up here in Canada, many of which are the reason he'll (rightfully) no longer be the PM next week. As a conservative I hated him for SNC-Lavalin (among other scandals), and the fact that his inexperience with the economy Harper left him is probably part of why this trade war is going to hurt more than it could have, and the fact that he's often been kind of a phony more concerned with looking and sounding good for the press cameras. Not this time. Nothing phony here; I've got to give credit to him for capturing the national mood pretty much perfectly with this speech. Good on him. \n\nAnd congratulations as well to Donald for pretty much handing the Liberals their best shot at a fourth term, too. What an absolute idiot. Normally I'd turn my nose up at having to vote Liberal, but I am so, so sick of the brand of empty populism Trump stands for that it looks like that's what I'm gonna be doing come election time.

Our government is finally fighting for us Justin. Sounds like your nervous...

This is what a leader sounds like…. instead we have a ? in charge

He sounds like Joe b weaker than circus lemonade it's not our fault it's another country fault just so you know you sound like Joe and that's how weak you sound

Canada definitely looks and sounds like a world leader. We need to stop the Bozo shit show at the White House!

This is what a real leader looks and sounds like.

This is what the head of a goverment should sound like, not the crying baby orange man that runs the U.S

I don't like Trudeau much but he can speak like a politician and what he says sounds like common sense. And then we got Trump, a six year old angry baby elephant and his sidekick JD Robin, the couch lover and ass licker, scamming and bullying basically everyone except Putler. Talk about a pathetic narcissist psychopath, and the hillbillies who voted for him should go join Russia on the frontline. I know they're too fat and they would shoot in the wrong direction but the Russians are on the same level

This is what a competent leader sounds like.

He sounds like a man today jeeze first time canada came first in 10 years

This is what a President sounds like. Eloquent, thoughtful and truthful. There is no comparison - Trump = imbecile, the other world leaders = intelligent. Get real America. Your country is going to hell in a hand cart.

This is what a leader sounds like compared to our buffoon Russian clown trump

Sounds like a Harris surrogate

Trump just got schooled. Trump, that’s what maturity sounds like. That’s what diplomacy sounds like. That’s what being dignified sounds like. That’s what support of Americans sounds like.

Sounds like Canada had a true plan to work on border crossings and drug problem, while Trump wants to just attack and make up lies about criminals and numbers.

Whether you agree with him or not, this is what a real leader sounds like. Trump is a bully

This is what a national leader sounds like, not the illiterate, corrupt Russian-agent Trump, who is undermining our country because too many Americans can’t stand to have a woman in charge, so they elected a clown and his pet Elon to destroy America from within

Holy crap. This is what a grown adult leading a country sounds like.

This is what a leader who can read sounds like

This is what leadership sounds like.

This is what an intelligent president who cares about his people sound like.

25% for 25% sounds pretty fair. I like this.

This is what a sane and rational and compassionate leader sounds like - not Trump/Vance/Musk/Maga

The Mexican President CLAUDIA SHEINBAUM writes to Trump and Musk on behalf of THE REST OF THE WORLD:\n\nSo, you voted to build a wall… Well then, my dear Americans, even if you don’t know much about geography—after all, for you, “America” is your country and not an entire continent—it’s important that before you lay the first stone, you know what you’re locking out with this wall.\n\nOutside, there are 7 billion people; but since the concept of “people” doesn’t seem to interest you much, let’s call them consumers instead.\n\nThere are 7 billion consumers ready to replace the iPhone with a Samsung or Huawei within 42 hours. They can also swap Levi’s for Zara or Massimo Dutti.\n\nQuite comfortably, within six months, we can stop buying Ford or Chevrolet vehicles and switch to Toyota, KIA, Mazda, Honda, Hyundai, Volvo, Subaru, Renault, or BMW, which are technically far superior.\n\nThese 7 billion people could also cancel their Direct TV subscriptions and—even if we wouldn’t like it—stop watching Hollywood movies, opting instead for Latin American or European productions, which are superior in quality, content, and cinematography.\n\nAs incredible as it may sound, we can stop traveling to Disney and instead visit Xcaret in Cancún, Mexico, Canada, or Europe—there are many incredible destinations in South America, Asia, and Europe.\n\nAnd believe it or not: There are even better burgers in Mexico than McDonald’s—with higher nutritional value.\n\nHas anyone ever seen a pyramid in the United States? In Egypt, Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, Sudan, and many other countries, there are pyramids with fascinating cultures. Take a look at where the wonders of the ancient and modern world are located… None of them are in the U.S. Too bad for Trump—otherwise, he would have bought and resold them!\n\nWe know that Adidas exists, not just Nike, and we can start consuming Mexican sneakers like Panam.\n\nWe know far more than you think; for example, we know that if these 7 billion consumers stop buying your products, unemployment will rise, and your economy will collapse so severely within your racist wall that you’ll beg us to tear it down. We didn’t want anything, but… You wanted a wall? Then you’ll get a wall.\n\nSincerely, \nTHE REST OF THE WORLD. \n\nPlease forward this message to 12 people. If you don’t, nothing will happen—except that many people won’t learn about these realities. \n\nCLAUDIA SHEINBAUM \nPRESIDENT OF MEXICO

Interesting. So it sounds like Canada just started last year with stopping drugs from coming over the border...remind me, how long have drugs been coming across? Bluff called, Canada, you were abusing the United States, until Trump came around...shame on you, too late. And like he said, this will be tough. But drugs stay out, child trafficking stays out.

This is what a sane logical leader sounds like...please watch this video Trump

I love Canadian people I do not like your leader. He sounds righteous today. Make no mistake of the Skeltons this man has. I do support President Trumps decision we neen to make changes for our country as do you guys have to do. Better days are coming us all things will get rough for a while. Loll to your leader to do his part for your country. He needs to get creative business wise instead of putting blame. Why is your leader looking to fight he should be thinking about how to solve problems and create business. I love Canadians We will get through this. Bucket up thing will get rough for all of us we all have to make changes. We believe in Donald Trunp and the many men and woman that have stepped up to change this country. May God be with us all may we get thought rough times may these wars come to and end.

He sounds like he is crying

I almost forgot what an actual leader sounds like. It's sad that so many of my fellow Americans let fear mongering and hate take root in their psychy to the point they thought a barely literate megalomaniac was the best choice to lead the country. This is one of the rare being black in this country is a benefit. We're used to being overburdened and neglected, so it's nothing new to us. But, everyone else is in for a rough ride. Good luck.

Trump is achieving the impossible in a short amount of time…. Such as making Trudeau sound like the voice of reason.

Justin sounds like a leader, not like that joker Trump and his merry bunch of men.
