I think finally Canada realized that if they have friend like US then they don't need any enemy. You can't trust US at all and need to start open your market for global trade. I am glad that finally this happened cause sometimes you need a slap on face to wake up from a cozy bogus dream. Yes it will be painful few years for Canada but when time will come for fresh water and Arctic resources, it will be payback time to US. Forget US and start shipping products to Europe, China and India. Make pacts and create meaningful relationships and let US do whatever they feel like doing because ultimately Canada is the 2nd biggest landmass in the world, 3rd biggest supply of oil, 5th biggest supply of natural gas, 1st in the world for supply of potash and uranium, If you include Great lakes then it has 4 coasts that can tie them with water so great opportunity to create best ports, 1st in natural source of water and 5th biggest agricultral landmass. Then why bother and put your energy into someone who don't care. Let US do whatever they like and forget about them. Just don't go to US and don't deal with US.

As an American, I really liked Trudeau's speech. I thought he did a great job explaining everything and responding to this situation. I appreciate his words to the American people. There's just one thing he said that was inaccurate... trump is NOT a smart guy!!

Trudeau is a POS. Trump Making America Great again.

Justin Trudeau is a moron. He has ruined my once great country.

A couple of things.\n\n1. Great that he basically called Trump an idiot.\n2. He blew up Trump's lies about fentanyl coming in calimly and with facts.\n3. He did not call Trump 'President' when addressing him. He simply called him Donald. No title, no respect.\n\nNot a fan of Trudeau, but he was absolutely spot on with this. Go to hell, Donald Trump.

We don't need you, Canada. We prefer to do business with the great President Vladimir

Such great friends until we stop you from taking advantage of us. Bye Felicia.

Great so usa ?? joining in with the biggest kgb commie

Great speech, powerfull and gracious! My support from the Netherlands.

Great!

PM Trudeau is a real Leader! Stay strong Canada! All the best for you and your great and awesome Nation!

Proud to be Canadian. Great job Mr Trudeau. ❤❤

I have two sets of great-grandparents that emigrated from Canada. Does that qualify me for Canadian citizenship? I support Canada.

Trudeau is talking tough because he's about to be punted out of office. Great.....this idiot has destroyed Canada for 9 years and now he's going to poke the bear and run to his Quebec paradise laughing the whole way.

You are so right, Russia is loving this, even sending them fake news, Hames is laughing and thinks its great, go Canadian people

Great speech. But why did he not speak into the camera? Would have been more powerful.

Canada you should keep Trudeau as Prime Minister.. He's a great leader.???

European here. Nice to see that Canada is still a great smart country we are all happy to be friends with; what really worries us is the country below Canada, since it is run by a crazy old man and his cult of bigotry, ignorance, lies, autocracy and pseudoscience. What have you done? You liberated us from the Nazis in WWII just to vote for their American counterpart less than one century later. I am very sorry for all the good guys who lost their lives only to bring Mr Trump to the White House.

Damn, we used to have presidents that can articulate like this as well… but, now… all I hear from Donald is tremendous, billions, millions, great, stupid etc

Prime Minister Trudeau, thank you for showing the world how a true gentleman and leader talks to the leaders of another country in spite of the irrational, immoral and turncoat actions from a former Ally; our (?) new MAGA President Donald Trump. It's so surreal that this narcissistic, psychopathic person actually won the Presidential election (again). All I can say is I am sorry, embarrassed, and ashamed of my broken country's politicians in Washington, D.C. at present. Many more Americans support the democratic policies than the anti-democratic that Trump's regime is spouting all around the world. Just know this isn't what most Americans believe and we don't support his thoughts and actions. We are trapped in this nightmare that makes no sense. We hope this is just a temporary change. These new policies benefit no one but the oligarchs of America (and world). I guess we are just going to have to take our punishment for the few years for not being able to prove that these people in Washington care NOTHING for anyone, including their own constituent, and are hell bent on taking down and destroying our American, Democratic way of life and we, the people, are helpless to stopping it dissolve and crumble. Thank you Canada for always being such great neighbors. Good luck, peace out!

The tariffs will affect the consumer and business sectors. I can barely afford to live as it is. Make America great again?

So eloquent and in 2 languages, no doubt. Now switch to Trump's speeches and enjoy the incompetence and crazy. Great speech Trudeau ?? \n SLAVA UKRAINI?? ♥️

From Aussie land here, that was an excellent speech you should be proud Canada. We luv you guys, its great to see your country stand together total respect. Stay strong for your country

Great speach. Greetings from Germany.

The biggest Sally. We don't want you on our TIT anymore. Your own people can't stand you. We are busy making Ameruca great again what are you doing for Canada? Are you paying your bills Justin?

Making Americans paying into the Fed coffers so they have more money to enrich their friends. Make American Oligarchs great again.

Ahh it's pointless. Trump has no intention to make America great again. He wants to bankrupt the country and steal all the money. And he's doing exactly that. It's the revqnge on Americans for hurting his feelings 4 years ago!

What is happening to making America great again !!seems like only making enemies here and there ??

Great video!

Great speech Prime Minister! Clear, concise and truthful! Someone needed to tell the world the truth. All Trump doles out is lies, lies and more lies!

United States, a once great country has gone down the pan.

Their government is so much smarter than ours. Sucks to have two jokers running such a great country ?

This is a leader. So thankful this man is leading our country on this day. He will be greatly missed. Much respect Prime Minister Trudeau. ❤??❤️

Great speach. I hate Donald Trump!

Great response to a very scary/trying time for the world.

A great speech from a great leader of a great country - Love from Germany - I stand with Canada and Ukraine

Looks like Trump FAILED another one of his campaign promises again. He said he wouldn't start any new wars. Well, he just did. It's called TRADE WARS with countries by way of tariffs. And now prices are gonna go even higher while the stock markets go down. Good job MAGAts, is America great again yet?

What a great speech

THE REAL REASON FOR THE TARIFFS IS JUST A VITALS CHECK BEFORE GOING TO THE OPERATING ROOM AND BEGIN COSMETIC SURGERY ON THE WHOLE AMERICAN CONTINENT WE SAW THE WEAKNESS IN THE NORTH AND SOUTH WE NEED TO MAKE IT GREAT FOR ONCE

Great for share markets and hedge funds, remember why shares were first set up! To fund wars for a certain few…\nPlace your bets……

Great video

I’m just so sad and that the current american administration is trying so hard to make us hate each other! \n\nWhen things get bad, in a couple of weeks or months for both of us. Trump and his media Will absolutely blame Canada, not just for trying to defend itself, but for all of it. He Will try to make americans hate us so much so he can get something out of it and thats so wrong.\n\nI have so many memories of traveling to the US and meeting great people there. I don’t want it to end and I want to remember that most americans are our friends, good people who don’t wish harm to others.\n\nI really Hope reason and good people Will prevail, I Hope je won’t bête allowed to continue down this path for long, I Hope the congress or anyone will stand up for whats right. Courage!

Great leadership, mister Trudeau. Didn't always agree with you in the past, but I'm fully behind Canada against orange face and eyeliner boy. Cheers from the Netherlands????????????

Mr Trudeau you are a great leader and unfortunately our country is totally F@$%@D because of one me who is a total Idiot and is destroying the country and I agree with you ?% that Putin is a lying corrupt thug Dictator who needs to be Stopped at all cost and I also believe he has to have sumthing hanging over Trump's head i honestly can't believe he is thst stupid anyways i hope you have woken up the American people and our senate and congress they need to impeach Trump ASAP and have his side kick JD Vance resign before they cuase even more damage you are a true gentleman who Mr Trump should learn a thing or 2 from God bless our Country ?

Great speech

Canada’s economy will tank than we will make them our 51st great idea trump you should ask what would you like for us to do president Trump. We fund your military and your economy. Your ass is ours

I think I want to move to Canada. America is full of shit too much gun violence. Nobody cares about all the innocent children that are dying and now we have a president who wants to make everybody’s lives miserable. For all of you that voted for Trump. I hope you see the truth of what he’s about a worthless individual a narcissistic psycho make America great that is the worst saying of all time he’s making America lousy.

How is this making America great again?

You have a great leader Canadiens. Congratulations!

Zelenskyy thanks you Mr prime minister. Great speach. #Donald is dumb.
