Nearly 73,000 comments in 8 hours, and so much support for Canada. As a Canadian, I am profoundly grateful, thank you all so much! We didn't want this, but we're in it with everything we've got.

Oh now I’m seeing it’s CNN comments makes sense

Great speech. And I like Melanie Joly struggling to keep it together after the comment about Donald being a smart guy.

These news channels are so biased. Look at all the biased bots commenting ?

I wonder if this was the same type of speech he gave when he seized the bank accounts of those farmers and workers that had a peaceful protest, remember that. Look at him trying to pander to the uneducated, brainwashed, CNN junkies. When they give the super long explanation about this and that and little more of this and a little more of that, means they are desperate and reaching. Its funny I read some of the comments from so called American Veterans stating that they stand with this or that, but not your own country...Think about that. I am also retired military.

Intelligence, wisdom, patriotism…why can’t US have a leader like Trudeau. (But Trump is NOT a smart man. That comment was meant to praise the boy.) Go, Canada!

I’ve never seen such a group of curated comments from people who are solely based on feelings. Silly people who don’t understand, but fall for nice words. Keep up your virtue signaling, but unfortunately it accomplishes nothing in the real world.

The comments on here of all the libs blowing Trudeau are sickening

So many bots commenting support for trudeau lol canadians do NOT support this idiot who put us in this situation.

Wolf, very nice words. Remember a good relationship between the 2 countries. Yor female comenteris tranlating a very objective message fro the canadian president , unfortunatinaly uou need to gind better commentator.

I can't help but notice the overwhelming support in the comments for the Canadian stance. Tragically many Canadians now consider the USA to be approaching enemy status.

There's more comments on this than CNN has actual viewers ?

From Canada, and reading the comments is truly heartfelt. Trudeau gets a pretty polarizing reputation in our country, but to know the world sees him as more reputable and more of a leader makes me proud to be Canadian and to stay positive in these chaotic times. Thank you

So many NPC's in the comments. Justin is the worst prime Minister in Canada's history. He is weak, pathetic and a globalist puppet. The U.S. has all the leverage. Trump is doing a great job for Americans. Only the ones demoralized by fake news propaganda don't like it.

comment section is full of bots

Imagine being a Democrat and commenting after having your spinct handed to you on election night 2 months ago . Lol

People in the comments keep praising this guy..... sure he gave a nice professional speech. But, it doesn't change the fact that he's a joker and a complete douchebag to his country and to others especially India

Reading all bot comments is crazy ???.

Let me tell you guys something to all the commentators:\nJ Trudeau is a merciful dictator who all he does is talk talk talk with no action, the only action he does is spend taxpayers money for his and his parties benefit\nHe is a extreme socialist praising lunatic who uses words to try and hypnotize his population which does not work. He destroyed this once beautiful country and he publically laughs about it when asked. If you guys think that the USSR was abolished in the 90’s, i highly suggest you take another look at your upstairs neighbour. Take it from a canadian. Do not trust or believe anything that thing says

What a speech!❤❤❤\nSo proud of our handsome, intelligent Mr. Trudeau!\nThank everyone who supports Canada, thank you for all comments!\nDear American neighbours we love you, but we love and stand united for our beloved Canada??????

All these comments….”Oh we stand with you Canada”. We don’t want you stand with us, fix your fucking problem America and stand up to your supposed representative Trump.\nHe is going to screw you too, wait and see.\nWhat has he done for America so far?\nO yeah, rename the Gulf of Mexico, that’s changed peoples lives for the better.\nWhat a joke.

Definitely tell this is the Clown News Network by the comment section.

I am ashamed of my country, America. But these comments make me feel a little less ashamed.

These comments are definitely monitored for any negative comments towards Trudeau. Because all I hear are how much Canadians hate this POS.

Trudeau is one of the biggest idiots in the world. Many Canadians hate him. These comments must be monitored because I know of many Canadians that hate him. A lot of American traitors here. I am an American and I fully support President Trump and whatever he does. But I have no respect for this idiot.

Look at all the bot accounts on this video commenting..it's hilarious! Come on CNN, we can tell which are real accts and which are not anymore.

I see the comment section is completely one sided which is obsurd considering the # of views this video has(over 5.5 million in just 7 hours) and over 70k comments yet not a single comment opposes Canada ? I'll be sure to come back to this video later to verify my comment has been deleted. I'm taking a screenshot of this post after I hit comment as proof an attempt to make an opposing opinion on a cnn video was done, but was quickly removed. Lets see.....

Trudeau is on his way out. Has five days left in office. He is very unpopular on both sides in Canada due to the state of things in Canada that have nothing to do with Trump. Obviously Americans commenting here aren’t aware of that. \n\nThe last thing most Canadians want Trudeau to do is publicly agitate Trump and make things difficult for the next prime minister.

Oh cool, I can comment here. We aren't allowed to comment on Canadian news media because of our dictator Trudeau. Please send help.

Look at all these liberals in the comments section lol Trump is only doing what Canada has been doing to us for a lot time. Now you want to cry about it lol

I came to the comments expecting to see liberals crying and I was not let down ?

Well, I was feeling really great about all the support from around the world, including the kind words of many Americans (thank you), but then I watched this same speech on the Fox youtube channel and the comments are exactly the opposite. Hating the speech and Trudeau. Funny how people can watch the same thing and see two different versions.

Reading comments from cnn clips is halarious ???? ….. Trudeau is hated by everyone on earth,,, except is course from CNN viewers and the FAR left…… ?? enjoy ehhh ?

Papa, why can't we eat McDonald's every night no more?\nWell billybob, most of your big mac ingredients comes from Mexico, so the price went up 25%.\nCan we still get lunch from KFC Papa?\nNo billybob, most of the chicken comes from Mexico too...\nWhy is this happening Papa?\nI don't know billybob, just be happy our Tennessee whiskey is suddenly reaaly cheap and they are giving it away...see, Pastor Donnie is Making America Drunker Again...\n\nSatirical comments from Australia.

Comments show that Trump is not the problem, it’s the American education system that has completely failed us. lol “ I’m for the country, not the government” regardless without the “government “ bad or good! America wouldn’t be what it is now without it. None y’all could run a country, or make good money management decisions so none of this will even matter to you ? good night

This comment section is a bunch of blue pilled, smooth brained socialists

The commentators are right on. Trump is definitely being played. And it is at our expense. His help us all.

The world is actually complete and utterly doomed ? if you don't laugh you will cry. Everytime I mention isreal my comment is removed. Trade wars, rubbing shoulders with terrorists, favouring dictators. This is ridiculoussssss?

To our British friends commenting below, could you tell YOUR Prime Minister, Mr. Starmer to show a little more support for us here in Canada, he's not super popular here at the moment but we would love to give him a second chance.

Comment section is filled with libetards

Donald!!! lol, I love it. Lil strik back for the Governor comments.

I just realized why these comments were so backwards and warped views.....CNN posted this?....super gross. I feel dirty now

No one is asking, what are the tariffs for... I obviously you see all of these people in the comments just walking and basing their judgment off of what they are seeing off of CNN etc. do your own research people, this man is bananas... I would assume most people in Canada are not very happy with this man crippling their country

Reading the comments today, everyone is for Canada, including us Americans. Trump is an idiot and we want his idiocy to end. We want to be friends, not the opposite!

can see that cnn is really deleting comments as fast as they come in. so obvious what these communist news outlets do.\n\nthe sheep could never notice these nuances, let alone change their minds.

You morons in the comments have you forgotten how Castro's son Justin, silenced free speech, shut down your businesses, locked you out of your own bank accounts, stole money that Americans sent to help the truckers survive after Trudeau seized all their bank accounts. What has Trudeau ever done for you, ayeee??? \nKentucky here, we don't care if Canada takes our bourbon, lol, stupid reporter. Oohh, we are so scared now. Shut the front door, propaganda itch!!! Suck it !!!!

Nobody know what this guy done to canada and the comments here is supporting him its like crazy hahahah

NONE OF YOU IN THE COMMENTS ARE REAL AMERICANS!!!!

I’d use that closest ally comment very loosely Mr dictator, erm I mean Mr Castro Jnr.

You know I'm'm reading all these comments about how much people support Canada and admire their prime minister and it makes me wonder who in America voted to give Donald Trump a 2nd term? How is it that he won the popular vote and the electoral vote? Either something is seriously wrong with our election system or Americans are bipolar!
