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??????

Please sir, may I move to Canada. Im not a karen, i mind my business and engage in civility, dignity and respect. I appreciate this speech. So proud

if trudeau had a speech like this while he was in office he would stil;l be prime minister

Texan and Cold War veteran here. Canada has fought beside us in every major conflict and a number of small ones as well and has always been a good friend to the American people. I will do everything I can to support Canada and Ukraine and any other ally our current dis-administration attempts to bully. \n\nExcellent speech Mr. Prime Minister, you are what leadership and integrity look like and Canadians can be proud to call you their own. You are polite, we are not. You are loyal, we are not. You have guts, we currently do not. God keep your land glorious and free!

Good speech, but still doesn't diminish the damages he brought as a prime minister

Respect for this speech

I advise we put another 25% tariff on Canadian products, just because of this stupid speech

Very powerful speech.

A quaint speech won't stop Trump from escalating the tariffs. Once the tariffs have been maxed out, all that's left to do is to order the American tanks to roll over the Canadian border. Germany did the same with Austria 3 days. Trump über alles.

He made this speech before Zelenskyy apologized didn't he?

Im an American, but I won't listen to a Canadian who played blackface and opposes freedom of speech. Keep the drugs in your own country. By the way, i thought you resigned or were voted out. Can some of you Canadians help me out with this?

Mutch love from the Netherlands to Canada. We will never forget or stop supporting our liberators????❤️??\nVery nice speech and it hurts me to see this happen to Canada.

Blistering speech? Literal propaganda. I’m praying for leftists to learn how to spot propaganda. It’s so mind boggling. Trump makes speeches thousands times better yet Hes “incoherent”. If trump cured cancer they would say “cancer rights matter!”

Trump better learn Russian to start giving his speeches in two languages too

I am a conservative. I didn't used to watch Trudeau's speech. But this was the best speech of our Prime Minister. No shouting, no anger. I watched it 2 times.

Thank you Prime Minister for the amazing speech! We will be fine. Canadians are very strong ?

Nice speech PM Trudeau. .. Concise and level headed unlike the rambling gibberish coming from the orange clown that inhabits the Oval office. Trump for some reason hates America and wants it in a weakend state . Trump doesn't see himself as president but as a an autocratic ruler like Putin. Trump=Putin's stooge and UI

Donald, we have done big thing. This is a very dumb thing to do. - using words that Donald can understand. Great speech.

Trudeau is an idiot king. This speech from a guy that has been pushing for the legalization of hard drugs across Canada and leaving our borders wide open. He has pissed away Canada’s prosperity on wasteful spending and his climate agenda. This buffoon has zero credibility. He is an actor and puts in a good show. I’ll give him that. Mr tough guy. He is laughable. We need a real leader in Canada.

As a Mexican man, I must say this is the kind of speech I like to hear from a leader. Such a great selection of words, diplomatic and strong at the same time.\n From this side of the continent, the response of Mrs. president Sheinbaum was a little more cautious, at times lukewarm. She said countermeasures will be taken, but they will be announced next Sunday at the Zócalo, the central plaza here in Mexico City, which she asked people to crowd. \n We're definitely living hard times. The only thing I hope is this political hatred does not reflect on the common people when treating their foreign fellows. We are allies, not enemies.

There are no winners in a trade war. True. Look at history. So sorry about this decision by Trump. This is a very clear speech. May the United States powers that be reconsider this current tariff and fentanyl issues. As an American citizen I wish to work with Canadians and your government. Generations of common goals and friendship need to be upheld. My wish is for reconciliation.

Has governor Trudeau not accepted the order from his boss President Trump yet, at making Canada Americas new state? ? I’m being sarcastic btw. I love Canada and dying for some poutine. I guess Burger King and some other burger chains here in Denmark comes close with their loaded fries, but it’s just not the same. The color of are flags are the same though. This is Trudeaus best speech, I always thought he was an idiot until today. Canada, je taime❤

While Canadians' outrage over Trump's policies is still understandable, we now witness Americans who ought to stand with their president choose to support this hypocritical person, Trudeau, who has persecuted and still persecutes many of his fellow citizens, including truck drivers and anti-vaccine activists, in the name of freedom of speech. Words cannot adequately describe such behavior. \nIn this terrible time of the U.S. national debt, everyone must be with their president and no one else.

American government gone nuts lately, brings up questions on nearly every topic.. That was one hell of a speech, Mr. PM Trudeau

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.

Glad I can say I did not vote for Trump. This was an amazing and intelligent speech. The Americans that did not vote for Trump are living in an undeserved hell right now.

Epically excellent speech!\n\nHere's the best potential peace plan / karmic property deal that I can suggest: \n\nThe US as the 87th (trans Atlantic) district of the Soviet Union in exchange for the election victory and get-out-of-jail ticket etc. already delivered, perhaps?\n\nAt least stop Donald-Musk-Vance'theknob'and Yarvin polluting our global airwaves with BS. \n\nAre they a truest representation of the dumbestness of the US. Is this what Yanks want? Just saying - (as an Irish girl in Vietnam).

Sorry Canada for the idiocy of our @$$ hole president. I agree with Trudeau's speech, but sadly he doesn't realize he is talking reasonably to a man who is a psychopath and does not care about what is right. He is trying to become a dictator and has no sense of reason

never thought i would be proud of speech from trudue

His speech pattern is so repulsive.

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

It’s funny to me how one speak can eradicate a whole track record of nonsense and stupidity! But I guess you get what you deserve! Not talking about the content of the speech but you are fooled too easily

Good speech but their economy will collapse !!!

Believe me\nAmericans aren't buying your propaganda speech.??

What a brilliant speech by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. ❤

I wonder if fox news will have the balls to air this speech.

It’s funny how CNN posts the full speech from the Canadian leader, but usually cuts off the American leader.

It’s crazy how some people forget all the damage Trudeau has done just because of one flashy speech. A few nice words don’t erase years of bad policies, sky-high inflation, the housing crisis, the opioid epidemic, out-of-control immigration and borders, and rising violent crime!!! Mind boggling!!

The people praising Trudeau are idiots. Pretty speeches are not leadership or competence. \n\nCountries don’t have “friends.” They have interests, and it is not in the U.S. interest to subsidize Canada to the tune of >$200 billion per year.

Excellent speech. It will probably go down in history. Bravo, Trudeau!

What I wouldn't give to have a leader even half as good as Prime Minister Trudeau currently heading my shitshow of a country as opposed to its malignant, selfish buffoon of a president to whom this speech is directed.

Is there someplace that shows the speech without CNN talking over and repeating Trudeau, and possibly translating the French portions?

The guys on the way out it’s all talk, the new guy will make a deal. Very easy to be tough when you’ll be gone in days like CNN admitted. This is his you didn’t fire me I quit type speech. Trying to spin narrative with the last chance he has

Every person in the USA needs to watch this speech

What a speech! And no teleprompter. This man has a brain, unlike others so called ' political figures '.\n❤\nGlad CNN didn't cut him (at least the English part.)

Powerful speech

Very proud to be Canadian and good speech we need to stand united as Canadians

Dear America, here you can see how a real Statesman argues! I love that speech of Trudeau. Alienating your friends that helped you secure your hegemony over the world for the past decades is very Donald Dumb.

I’m with Canada on this matter. We don’t betray our friends like that. I will commit my support on this issue by using whatever “freedom of speech” I have and by inserting my opposing view in pro-trump videos that speak ill of Canada. Thank you Trudeau, and I am sorry.

Great speech Trudeau ✊?
