What a chump. Guess he's speaking moistly

Thanks for your kind words. Trump does not speak for millions of us.

Now that's a leader. Thank you, Trudeau for standing strong and speaking truth in the face of USA doing nothing but Russia's bidding. I am so ashamed of my county for allowing this to take over.

Everybody in Canada wants to vote Trudeau out but he cancelled parliament and pro longed an election to happen. But he speaks about other leaders and “dictators.” Trudeau is a joke. Canada wants an election. To elect a real leader. Let’s go Canada!

Hey bro, you're making way too much sense, and using big words. Our president is an insane idiot. You need to speak insane idiot to be heard.

Gosh why does he speak like that? And he has this smug look on his face all the time too when he is speaking all slow and drawn out like this. Looks like a creep.

You want to speak to 1 American, He's Russian... Don't call him a very smart guy . Canadians HELP !

Watching Trudeau attempt to speak tough from a position of weakness while simultaneously falling for a tit for tat tariff trap... Perfect?\n\nThe long term gains for the US here are massive.

Trudeau is a goof. He does not speak for Canadians

Thanks for saying what needs to be said and speaking the truth - Go Canada

8:06 AST yes, Mr Trudeau, we don’t like this either. Thank you for speaking on behalf of the American people. You speak the truth. We are under seize by an authoritarian government. God bless you and Canada.

So pathetic. CBC our Canadian so called news has turned off any comments. Trudeau does not speak for the majority of Canadians. Our parliament is closed, he and his lackeys refuse to call an election. I would like to talk to my American friends. I apologize for this narcissistic lackey who has driven our country into the ground for the last 9 years.

This is how a leader speaks. This is how a leader conducts himself. This is everything our ignorant President is not. This is ridiculous! WTF is this going to prove? How many Americans are going to suffer cause the President is acting like a stubborn child? For those of you who voted for him, shame on you. You allowed this unqualified felon back in office and now we will all have to pay the price.

The difference between a lunatic and Trump is that within Trump must be at least 10 more other lunatics. Sad for the American people who will suffer from this trade war. And Mr Trudeau speaks like a respectfull president from a civilized country. How is it possible that lunatics can become a president from the USA?

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau! You speak truth to power... How in the hell did America go so LOW... I didn't vote for the American Dictator!!!

The Canadian leader is speaking to the American people out of concern. Look at what a whole lot of uninformed folks have done. Once you hear this you will understand the hell we will wake up to. Tariffs to America by China, Mexico, Canada. Making us isolationist joining hand with Putin. Oh my God

Note how he took his language level down to elementary grade to speak to Donald?

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

I'm fine with Canada and the UK going bankrupt if they bring it on themselves. I hope Europe can shake off the EU parasites controlling it before they are destroyed. I hope Russia takes back Russian speaking territories and provide the people with aged pensions, social programs and infrastructure and for the western parts to be absorbed into its neighbors where they can also receive assistance to get back on their feet. Finally, we should stop engineering color revolutions and capturing vassals to be used as a proxy in planned conflicts and placing military bases on borders where they are not welcome.

A man who stands for his people and can still speak well and correctly. Greetings from the Netherlands. Europe hopes to be able to work together with Canada.

Bye America. Speak to the hand, the grown ups arent listening.

As an Aussie, I'm proud to see Prime Minister Trudeau speak so aloquently to his people and neighbouring people and call out the idiocy of Little donys contempt for allies and love of dictators

Let the man speak for himself. Why am I listening to talking heads when a president is speaking?

bro is mogging and speaking with an asmr ahh voice

Why is trudeau still speaking? Rock bottom approval rating in Canada. No wonder he quit

Trudeau, you damaged Canada and brought it to where it is right now you have no right to speak on anything and tell about what other people have done. Take accountability for yourself and you have failed the Canadian people. I don’t know why we have a bunch of Canadians over here, sucking you off like they don’t remember what you’ve done. Is everyone on this page who is a Canadian suffering from Stockholm syndrome? Do you not remember what this guy has done to our country with immigration and taxing us with the carbon tax out of the Wazzu. Give your head a shake you sleepy Canadians. Canadians act too weak and that’s why we’re treated this way.

This man speaks the truth and so articulately with grace and class. This is a true leader.

Wow so you’re saying it’s possible to have a leader that can speak calmly, respectfully, and in complete sentence form?

As an American I heavily support Trump and America. Trudeau is a traitor to Canada. He is speaking like he has some power in this situation. He is saying that he doesn't want to see us hurt ???. Good luck Canada you are a bunch of softies.

All I know I had a bad experience with high cost living in Canada. Sounds good does not mean the people living in a good life. Actions speak louder than words.

Look here, Trudeau, the scholar, speaking 2 languages. And isn't that French beautiful?

CNN - What kind of language does Donald Trump use when addressing elected representatives of the respected global community? He resorts to belittling, mocking, taunting, and even threatening individuals with alarming ease, seemingly without any sense of shame or restraint.\n\nPrime Minister Trudeau conducted himself as a gentleman, consistently speaking in a respectful and dignified manner. In contrast, Donald Trump often demonstrates a lack of morals, manners, etiquette, and ethical principles, which is truly shameful.

This is the way a true leader speak for ALL his PEOPLE

Can we have him? We could use leadership that has intelligence and speaks directly about things.

The Orange Goblin doesn’t speak for me. I’m an American standing with Canada!

You think he's only speaking up because he has nothing to lose? NO! He's speaking up because it's obvious how far POTUS has let America fall and capitulate to Russia.

And to Justin Trudeau, speak to your own people. Maybe you need to hear what they feel. Trump is far more popular in America than you are in Canada.

Ooooooooo. He's speaking directly to Trump. Woooooowwww.

Listen to the Prime Minister speaking 2 languages. trump can't even speak one past a grade 3 level. trump wants this in order to weaken all democracies in order for putin to take over the world. Why aren't we doing something people? Are we really going to let the hateful racists who voted for the presidunce win? I pray not.

Speaking truth to stupidity

When speaking to the most powerful democracy in the world you have to show respect. The USA ?? is the super power of the world. Thank you USA?? for your leadership and wisdom. The USA ?? is the only country on this planet that can achieve and garentie peace. Thank you for your hard work and deep compassion for humanity. ❤

Finally the mature adult is speaking sense thank-you stay the course Canada ??

I wish he were my president. As an American, I’m scared. Last time I felt like this was 9/11. It’s a different fear but it’s growing daily. The big orange one does nothing but instill fear and anger. I miss a president that speaks to the people, gives them hope and encouragement. Hurts my heart

Why can’t American leadership speak clearly?

As a Canadian, \n\nTrudeau is stepping down because he is hated by the majority of this country. He has suspended parliament for his parties own special interest, making it it impossible to properly respond to anything. \n\nTrudeau does not speak for Canada. He’s the reason we’re in this mess. You Americans do not want Trudeau as your president he has ruined this country.

New Zealander here . . . Justin Trudeau speaks with truth, strength, and integrity.

I’m Canadian and I literally can’t stand to even listen to him speak. Why does he have to speak that way, it’s weird and embarrassing. He’s pathetic.

Let's all start fresh NO MORE FOREIGN AID!! Done - Finished - we don't owe anything to any one and I don't need Trudeau speaking to me. He has a failing economy and it has been failing since he came in ~ now he wants to blame Trump! Everything here should be MADE IN AMERICA!!

Trump cant speak like this.. Trump IS idiot?

trudo does NOT speak for canadians. he has wrecked our country. we have suffered with him in power and now that he is leaving we get to suffer because of trump.......
