That was a great speech from Prime Minister Trudeau. One of his best I must say . . . we've got to stick together and fight back this idiocy from Trump, and if we can do that we will win and he'll back off from these ridiculous and needless tariffs.

Great speech from Trudeau. Welcome to More Cooperation with Europe against the Trump-US

Australia??here, great speech Prime Minister Trudeau. America has a strong history with its allies UK, Canada, Japan and Australia but these tariffs undermine these relationships and call into question America's trustworthiness going forward. America will become increasingly isolated which plays directly into China's and Russia's interests.

Great speech by Justin Trudeau. Good coverage, thank you.

Passionate Trudeau hater but great speech by him. Fk Donald Duck

This is a real leader. This is a great speech. Trudeau is a lot nicer than I am. Donald you are a bully racist criminal who idolizes dictators. When Zelensky was bullied about his clothes and kicked out of the white house, this is the first day I am embarrassed to be American.

What a great speech Mr Trudeau! So articulate. I’m so proud to be Canadian and to have had you as the face of our GREAT country??❤️❤️

From Germany: Great speech Mr. Trudeau. So clear. I feel you are really worrying about the canadian people and you are doing the right thing to get the US back on a rational track.

No one is buying the fentanil pretext. A great speech from Justin Trudeau. I sincerely hope the Americans will wake up and destitute this ''Wanna be Putin'' in Trump along with his mentally challenged vice president. Loved the intervention of former General Wesley Clark. I mean, when you served the US Army as a general, i'm pretty sure this man loves his country and hearing him saying he's totally with Canada in this issue. It's sums it all.

What a great speech! Absolutely excellent, perfect! Trudeau is proving to be a really great leader. Lucky Canada. Shame that he won't be standing for re-election in the upcoming elections.

Canadian border state NDak here. Prime Minister Trudeau your speech was outstanding!? You are truly a great leader. God bless you all.

The time has come to out-bully the bully. Appeasement will do nothing. Great speech, Mr. Trudeau. I hope our other allies do the same. Love from NY.

Great speech by Trudeau (other than one point: about the Orange Sphincter being a smart guy). Trudeau was authentic and eloquent and very angry. Good for Trudeau for articulating so well what so many people think, and what needs to be said. The Orange Sphincter can barely string 2 coherent words together. YAAAAAY TRUDEAU ??

Appreciate Trudeau's matured, courageous,sober, responsible speech. Trump and his pals in the white house now seem like the most immatured bunch of people compared to Trudeau, Zelensky, Macron etc. These young people are a great example for the old Donald.

I’ve read a lot of comments from people saying “Trudeau ruined Canada” in response to people expressing their support for Trudeau in this time.\n\nThat’s not really a great point.\n\nIf Trudeau hasn’t been good for Canada, but gives a coherent, inspiring, and professional speech in this moment that unites Canadians and others alike, then that should speak so much to how awful this situation is. Huge respect to Trudeau and Canada for not backing down. I hope one day we’ll be allies with the right side of the world again.\n\nWe wanna talk about a leader ruining a country? That’s what Donald is doing right now. Except he won’t unite us in the future with a speech like this.\n\nThis American stands with Canada!

I am with Trudeau. Great speech.

I AM A PROUD CANADIAN RIGHT NOW!! GREAT SPEECH PM TRUDEAU ❤ !! STICK IT TO DONALD...

Great speech, Prime Minister Trudeau. Nuff said. Real Americans support you & are listening.

I totally Agree with Trudeau. Great speech. They want peace, and not Trump.

Great speech J. Trudeau! Don’t allow Trump to call you Governor

Thank god for Trudeau. It is not Americans but Trump who is causing all this chaos. It is Trump that wants this trade war not the American people. Great speech.

Let's get self-sufficient, Canada. Better late, than never. We have everything to achieve that. Great speech, PM Trudeau!

Trudeau is such a great speaker! He is very clear and articulate. He speaks to the hearts and minds of his target audience. This is a rallying speech!

Great Speech Mr. Trudeau. But HE'S MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN ???????

Took the twilight of his career to have backbone. Ill give Trudeau this great speech

Great speech from Trudeau. ??

❤ I love this speech! Mr Trudeau, you are a great president. ?

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.

Great speech from Justin Trudeau! A real president! Take not, Mr. Trump! This is how you run your country!

Great speech Trudeau ✊?

Terrific! If Trudeau would always talk and act like this, he'd for sure still be prime minister. Sadly he doesn't. \nBut this was such a great speech, wonderful. The complete opposite of the screaming, ranting, insulting, hating and nearly exploding blood preasure patient orange the u.s. calls president.

Great speech Mr. Trudeau can you come down and teach Trump how to speak properly? Please. TRUMP IS SO EMBARRASSING

I got to admit..THAT was a GREAT Speech by Prime minister TRUDEAU!

Wow. Great speech Trudeau. We can make it through this my fellow canadians. ??????

Not a fan of Trudeau or anything left wing, but thought this was a great speech. The UK stands with Canada.

I’m not a fan of Trudeau but well done on a great speech . Unfortunately Donald will simply say we haven’t done enough to curtail the flow of fentanyl into the US

THIS IS A LEADER! This is how a leader should speak. Without an ounce of arrogance but full of factful compassion. Truth be told, Mr Trudeau is one of my favourite leaders of a country. He may have issues, but which leader doesn't right. Look at what Trump is doing now. Great speech, Sir. I feel so proud of ??.

Great job representing our awesome country. This is a terrible time for Trudeau to step down. Right now he has the respect of all other counties. What am amazing speech.

Great speech Justin Trudeau! Well said. ??

Great speech …. I am a Canadian go Trudeau

Not a fan of Trudeau but that was a great speech, and I am proud of what he did. He's earned my respect for siure.

i cant stand Trudeau but ill be honest this is the first and only time ive seen him speak with true confidence and conviction. i have never seen him speak so honestly. There is no facade here. Great speech.

Great speech, PM. Trudeau! You made me proud of being Canadian!

Great speech Trudeau.

Measure Trudeau’s words against Trump’s words when he delivers his speech to Congress this evening. While Trudeau presents facts, Trump will present misinformation and lie about how his policies and tariffs are great, best ever. Truth is, he has no plan for the average American, no plan for Ukraine security or peace, no realistic plan for Gaza, no compassion for Americans who are losing their jobs and benefits.

Crazy to see how relations have broken down between our two countries and sad for all my great American friends and thanks for your support but anyone with half a mind could see this coming. So many Americans, even republican voters, now waking up to the cold reality of a treasonous, mad president allied to a Russian mad man, isolating the US from the rest of the world. He was basically elected to repaire the economy. Ha! Nice going you orange freak. The stock market is crashing like a Trump casino. You bankrupt two casinos and now you are doing the same to America. Oh! and I hope you're listening to Trudeau's speech, this is what a real leader sounds like. CANADA STRONG AND FREE!!!
