How does America have one of the worst presidents on the globe? At least the authoritarians are evil GENIUSES, Trump is evil and just stupid.

I still can’t for the life of me understand why we went through a version of this once already and somebody here still keeps wanting more. Why? Why keep aligning with a “President” who seems hellbent on revenge and throwing us all overboard unless you’re at least a millionaire? The kinds of people placed in control right now are the very ones we all have been and should be fighting against still! Rich people have no interest in the issues and problems facing anybody with a net value of less than $1,000,000. We are just pawns for them to use in their pursuit of further wealth!

Canada has always been crucial for US's economy and vice-versa. Only suffering and loss will come out of all this. At least Canada has Europe, Australia, and Most Asian countries. Trump has Putin and the fat tyrant from N. Korea

One might say We did this to ourselves…at the very least the white folks did this to America.

At least Donald can not accuse Justin that he is not wearing a suit and hopefully would listen what Canadian PM has to say !

That's hilarious how CNN has adopted a loser PM of a third world country to be it's faint beacon of their version of Democracy. \n \nCanada is a colony of the UK. It's not a Democracy. \n \nIn this day and age of freedom and independence, and respect for human rights, Canada and the UK governments should be ashamed that colonialism is still their guiding principle. \nI find that ridiculous that CNN does not see the hypocrisy of Canada and the UK leading the call for continued Ukraine independence. \n \nIs this slavish relationship the attraction for CNN and it's ignorant presenters? Isn't CNN the least bit ashamed they admire slavery in the 21st century and that they are giving voice to colonialists?

I was born in the US and have had pride in my country -- IN THE PAST. Not now and not as long as my fellow citizens and our legislators back trump and vance and musk. I support Canada and Mexico and Ukraine and the Palestinians. Drugs are the LEAST of our worries in this country. Giving our government to an oligarch like musk is our biggest issue as well as getting in bed with putin.

How dignified. \nI feel we Americans are watching our rights slowly disappear. Our elections have likely been corrupted. We are facing at least a major economic recession if not a depression. This all said, I believe Americans value their independence and will fight for it. So, ok our democracy is under attack, we must fight.

Articulate, thoughtful, educated, emotional response. Something we will never get under Krasnov trump and maga cult. Thank you Canadian citizens for at least having an articulate leader.

Trump is in the process of destablizing the greatest trade relationships in world history, while he angers at least half of his own citizens. This all being done while turning on a country that was our allie until January of 2025. Now he has cut off aid to Ukraine, setting the stage for their defeat. Trump now carries responsibility for the possibllty Ukraine will lose the war. Trump's legacy in history will be of the greatest looser and worst president in the history of the United States of America.

The US is so screwed. I hope everyone who voted for Frump is completely happy they elected a criminal, liar and deal breaker. He’s trash & the least presidential person ever. Trump you SUCK!!!

If you live in the US it's time to move. If you're in Canada or Europe you need to boycott the holy living hell out if US imports, US compaines, and any company that does business in the US. Starve the US of money and plummet the economy. The only effective nonviolent resistance that works is to prevent the coporations from making a profit. \n\nAt least JT had the sense to separate the Smerican people from its current leadership. That's rare in history. \n\nI SUPPORT CANADA AND UKRAINE. FUCK TRUMP.

Well Justin, after listening to you smug listing of all the measures you’ve taken to reduce fentanyl traffic as well as “other” traffic and implemented US requests for cleaning up border issues. I ask: “Had the US not made these requests, would you have done the neighbourly thing and cared enough for your neighbour to have monitored what criminals in your country were up to? It appears you had to be reminded of your duties inherent in the ‘office of being a good neighbour’.\nYou are STILL weak and the mouthpiece of ‘controlling interests’ in Europe who in the end will toss you out on the street like some sucked dry orange and forget your fawning presence ever existed. Man up and at least try to leave an honourable legacy for Canadians. The BOC will then be able to fulfil its mission of printing its own money without bringing Canada into the slave-pit of European Banksters.

Australian here, we’re on your side. At least the majority are.

As a german I can okay say wow. What a difference. That’s the way a leader of a country should speak and behave like. Not like that child and clown in the Oval Office who is so much in love with himself. Do the people of USA even have the slightest clue how the country looks like to the whole world for so many years? Amerika used to be THAT country everyone wants to go to finally see it. Now it’s the least interesting place in the world I want to be.

As a UK citizen living in Canada, I’ve seen how much the U.S. has damaged its relationship with Canada, and I don’t think things will ever be the same. I don’t even blame Trump—I blame the American people for electing a corrupt criminal.\n\nThe reality is, Americans are going to feel the consequences far more than Canadians. You’re the only NATO country without universal healthcare, your education system ranks among the worst in the developed world, worker protections are almost nonexistent, social security is severely lacking, and now, thanks to your election choice, you’ll be paying at least 25% more for groceries under a leader who’s steering the country toward authoritarianism.\n\nIt’s embarrassing. The world no longer revolves around America, and people are tired of its self-centered, individualistic mindset. It’s time to wake up.

Canadian here . Not interested in buying anything american nor visiting states ever again .Been to usa multiple times and will not go back , at least until there is some leadership that I can respect. I have love for Americans, but never to the detriment of Canada.

This is what a leader sounds like. Trump talks like a second grader at best. I'm embarrassed of our current leaders to say the least

I thought he resigned? at least he's being an advocate for his people for once.. like Trump.. oop

This is almost giving me hope, at least it's so good to see that good leadership definitely still excists, at the same time other 'leaders' (only in title) drag their duty, trustworthyness and integrity through the mud...

The United States has given Canada less than $35.1 million in financial aid in any fiscal year since at least 2001. <<<<<<< MAYBE WE SHOULD TAKE THIS AWAY

After a speech like this, he will need to do at least a 20 min Sorry and Thank you in the Oval office for Trump to forgive him.

Lmao. Please Canada dont do it.... No you dont want this, you want a WAR. Ok. Lets go. Send your total 100k troops to defend your funny country... How about Canada spend at least 2% for nato, O wait you cant. Funny

My advise to Canadians is that they should as quickly as possible unite with other nations in protection of beautiful Canada . At least most Americans have lost the seriousness and the truth for a unknown duration .

Well done Trudeau. At least one leader had the guts to talk against Trump’s atrocity. ????????

USA is the new North Korea. At least some citizens can fight back and STILL have their voices heard.

I should go to Canada. At least they have leadership. Not an idiots. Hope all you Trump supporter's have a job for now

The Donald's least concern is his people, his poor people, because his millionaire friends Bezos, Musk, and company are going to get richer, a lot richer, with all these moves. Like Napoleon Bonaparte and Hitler, Trump sees himself as the great conqueror of the world, the chosen one, the incarnation of Jesus on Earth, and his followers believe he is. The poor devils, as ignorant as Trump himself.

Donald has ruined this country within a month of being in office. I'd move to Canada, at least they have a real president/prime minister.

Hey Mr Trudeau, for your speech to be most effective, please repeat at least ten times, that the republicans are imposing a stiff NEW TAX on Americans. Americans don’t know what a tariff is. It is a TAX and Americans are allergic to that word. Call it a TAX, again and again if you want Americans to dislike it.

Please understand.. thats a Nice Speach, at least it would be if he actually meant any of it, understand hes a Compulsive Liar and rarely if ever, does anything he states, usually its the exact opposite in fact... a whole lot of blee bla bla blee blee... a** h*** .... in my opinion

Trudeau will be Prime Minister at least till the election

Great speech from Trudeau, he is on his way out as prime minister and has been unpopular but no doubt he has had his finest moments lately. I wish Canada and a number of US states and sane US citizens could form their own nation or even a union at least. We'd be better off, anything is better than now. Americans will get hit hard by this too, so dumb. Trump is a fascist and brainwashed a cult called MAGA.

0:34-0:37 “Canadians are reasonable and polite…”\nThen why am I in Canada for one minute getting yelled at by CBSA…\n\nBro Justin stop lying.\n\nY’all need to stop it, I’d rather live in Japan than Canada…\nAt least they don’t talk about race all day long. Smh

Trump/Vance are erasing hundreds of troops that gave their lives in Afghanistan. Disrespectful to say the least..

Trump is an idiot! We Americans are sorry. Well, at least those of us who didn't vote for the orange menace.

My gosh, what else is new. We had 4 years of trump and people wanted 4 more years of trump. At least wolf blitzed gets to go to work every day with one of the most beautiful lady ever to live. Lucky sob, wolf

I know I will get attacked in the comments for this, but I grew up in the US watched many presidents come and go, and I have never seen the country that I live in turn so corrupt and evil in my life we have been lied to by our president. A man I did not vote for and it almost feels like it is turning into a fascist regime. I think it is time for me to leave and move to Canada because at least they know the difference between right and wrong. my family, a long time ago fled from fascist Germany and came to America because back then it was the land of the free it terrifies me to know that my family ran from that only to end up right back where it was before in the future my prayers go out to every American citizen and hope that you all rise up, right and left and independent and do what you can to get this dictator out of office. He’s only been in there not even two months and look how bad everything is already. United we stand divided, we fall.

As someone from New York, I think what we are doing to our two best friends, Canada and Mexico is not in our interests to say the least, and we're already seeing our electric costs go up in NYS because of this chicanery. I am with my Canadian and Mexican friends.

.... Well I'll tell you what Trudeau,.... None of us people wanted these tariffs either... At least not the people who are sane... I don't even think the people who voted for Donald Trump wanted these tariffs against the rest of the world either....I really don't understand the sense behind it because this is not going to make America greater.... It's going to destroy the economy of America and whatever the country it is that he poses these tariffs on... He thinks this is a strategy for getting what he wants... But I'll tell you what, he may be shocked and sadly mistaken when he finds out that it might just backfire ...this is a very conceited attempt to get the type of economic condition that he envisions for his new Dictatorship over America....he has alienated United States from its allies in Europe as well as its allies here at home.... This is probably about as dumb as his treatment of Volodimir Zelensky that just transpired on Friday at the oval office...and that idiot Vance is the one actually that has started that little debacle....I don't know man I thought these guys had more sense than to do this kind of shit.... But see this kind of situation is not going to affect him or his billionaire buddies because they have so much money they can cushion themselves until the cows come home....these assholes don't have nothing to worry about except the American people finding an emergency way of getting his ass out of office unless he changes course on all of this... I don't know if he can be impeached or not... But it might be a smart thing to find out if it IS possible.... AND EVEN IF IT IS WE STILL HAVE HIS SITTING REPLACEMENTS STILL IN OFFICE AS WELL SO I DON'T SEE THIS GOING AWAY WITHIN THE NEXT 4 YEARS UNLESS HE COMES BACK TO HIS SENSES, AND POSSIBLY GOES TO A DOCTOR AND HAVE HIS HEAD CHECKED....\nDTheMadkat123\nFrom a borrowed phone \n....the only thing I really do support that he is doing is securing the border and dealing with immigration issues here.... That's it that's all I was hoping that he would really focus on being in the oval office, and possibly standing by Ukraine, and Israel during these evil days.... Buddying up to Putin is like the single most insane thing that has come from this as well..I just hope and pray that he comes back to his senses and backtracks on all of this shit.... Besides I like Canada House whiskey, and Canada Dry Ginger ale, and other products from Canada.... Stand strong Canadians, I love you all, and I hope we can make it through these tough times ahead...but obviously the road that we're traveling now there really is no guarantees is there ?? Lady can you shut the hell up and go back to what Trudeau is saying ??

I believe that he is seeking vengeance for his failed Canadian hotels, one in Vancouver and one in Toronto at least. such a small minded person, unable to take a world view, its all about him and how things affect him personally.

He does not speak an honest word. The tone and cadence of speech is so scripted and acted, at least we get to see Trump how he really is, this is a wolf in sheeps clothing. Zero authenticity.

I'm from Poland. What terrible times we have come to live in... The world we knew is ending, and new alliances are forming. It doesn't have to be the European Union—let it be a UNION OF THINKING PEOPLE, a WORLD UNION OF GOOD WILL PEOPLE. \nCanadians, Americans - you are strong and smart enough (at least half of Americans who didn't vote for Trump) Please, don't give up, fight hard! \n\nUkraine + part of the EU + Canada + Mexico (Greenland/Denmark, Australia, Japan, who's next?) - we can survive without the USA, Russia, and their “minions”. \nWe here in Europe also have Putin's allies - Orban (Hungary), Fico (Slovakia). \nHowever, despite everything, I sincerely believe that decent Americans will bring the impeachment of “Orange Man” as soon as possible. Before he leads his country into hyperinflation and crisis...

I've hated Trudeau for so long as a Canadian with a brain but my god at least he's not Trump. Were all screwed under Putler and Trunk.

Wow, at least somebody fights back this bully. Good to see. Europe is completely impotent.

Can we get a grown-up for a president too? If you're in any kind of war with Canada you have to know you're on the wrong side, at the very least morally. What are we doing? What is this timeline?

Canada, the whole world stands behind you, at least the civilized part.

At least Trudeau is offering assistance and breaks for the businesses and citizens that will suffer from this. Trump just basically said we will all suffer and we just have to deal with it.

Trump was never going to play along because his bestie over in Russia has already persuaded him to stay sweet and ignore everyone else.. Trump is also mad that everyone else gathered to support Zelenskyy and he hates that comradery because it hurt his ego.. DT will probably pull away from England, France and others that were at the Summit meeting because he's a man child that has a fragile ego. I am pleased to say however that at least everyone is seeing the so called christian man's true colours.. he's a modern day Hananiah of the bible.. a modern day Nebuchadnezzar.. who is ruled by the love of money, nothing else!

Why don't they translate the part where trudeau speaks french ?? Or subtitles at least
