Trudeau’s fiery speech aimed directly at Trump sends a clear and bold message. The tension between them is undeniable

Great speech PM

I’m a dual US-Italian citizen and I stand with Canada so nice to hear a compassionate speech with facts, and concern for the welfare of the public not dictators and oligarchs.

Awesome speech for the felon

Great speech

best speech he's ever done.....full marks for standing up to Trump in a strong way.

The only thing I don't agree with with the Prime Ministers speech is him calling Donald smart.

Nice speech Quitter Lmfao

What an amazing speech. Canada, be proud and don't let him go. With love from the UK. perhaps the American folks should let America become a new province of Canada because the American people deserve to be treated better than thier president is currently treating them. I encourage everyone to not look bad upon the American people, its not thier fault. Long may you fly the maple leaf ?

Trudeau directly addressed Trump in his blistering speech, delivering a strong message. This shows that tensions between the two leaders remain high

I'm not with trump but listen to professor Sachs speech in the European parliament. This war was planned and financed by the USA. It all started in the 1990s.its a game that the elite and the MIC play . Who owns most of the mic, BlackRock. Who has the contract to rebuild Ukraine, BlackRock. Who will mine Ukraine resources, BlackRock. Welcome to the game\n We are nothing more than porns. In all the movies growing up who are the villains? Russia, China, Middle East terrorist. One guess who the heroes are. Yep the USA propaganda feed to the masses through entertainment.

Great speech, at last a Leader standing up to trump and his cronies. Canada needs you so a shame you are not continuing. As a born Brit but now an Aussie my husband and I applaud you. The Democratic world needs to stand up to trump and musk. Canadians are tough and just know that many of us are with you in spirit and wherever we live are not buying US products either. Go Canada ?? and the Canadians ?

Brilliant inspiring speech from Trudeau

It was a great speech! Bravo!

Great speech …. I am a Canadian go Trudeau

Very good speech by Trudeau except for one comment. He said Donald is a smart man. I'm sure he was just being polite. Donald Trump is not a smart man. He is an idiot. Plus he's crazy and sadistic and evil, and he suffers from dementia. The cult of Trump is a death cult.

Great speech! The democratic world still have leaders to look for.

Australia is with you Canada we know that Trump is a very sick man and not fit for office - And why is his speech been interrupted by these thugs - Other leaders from around the world need to do this bring Trump thug down and to be kicked out of office,

Not even canadian but damn what a speech, I've heard that some of his domestic policies are not very popular but the way he asserts himself against Donald Dipshit is admirable

Canadian here. You Americans seem stupid. Trudeau is the worst leader we’ve ever had. He’s on his way out. He’s resigned. He’s a disaster. He doesn’t stand for freedom. Or freedom of speech. You people have no idea. Perhaps you could read a little bit more.

It is truly a loser speech

It's quite refreshing listening to a speech given by a head of state that isn't Donald. It's the contrast of truth and facts from one and lies and personal childish attacks from the other.

he way they are choosing to interrupt the PM's French speech is yet another sign of American arrogance.

One thing I find cool about Canadian federal speeches is that they conduct it in both English and French - Canada’s official languages. Their politicians are mostly bilingual because they are required to be. That’s kinda cool.

Great speech, he shouldn't have called it dumb, insulting a leader is never a good political strategy such as did Trump to Ukraine.

American here. Wish my president could give such a professional speech like this. No name calling. No lies. No blaming others.

Great speech! It resonated with many across the free world.

Great speech by a great leader ❤

Gona miss this guy once he leaves, a beautiful speech and such well presented.

Join the EU, Canada! Impressive speech! Greetings from Cologne, Germany!

Canada's president can give a concise speech without ever using teleprompters. Maybe the U.S. can become a province of Canada.

Wow the United States got what they got because they voted stupidity, hatred, bigotry, racism,no experience, felonies, just to name a few?compared to these two men from Canada and Ukraine ?? who can read, speech different languages, have compassion, have experience, intelligence with integrity… WOW JUST BECAUSE AMERICANS DIDN’T WANT A AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN…who has everything thing in her fingernail that lil Donnie will never have? United States got a “good white boy”who happens to sleep with Satan???

Great speech. Everything President Toad and Vice President VD Pants says is a lie. A malicious lie.

Its very annoying to have a journalist repeat what trudeau has already said, forcing us to miss the Q&A section^ \nThat said, WOW, trudeau has won my respect bigtime. This was prob the best speech ive ever heard from 'mr. nice guy' So very glad he spoke clearly and precisely to the usa public, he is and has done everything correctly

Great speech, eloquently speaking with facts. I stand with the Canadian people and the true Americans. Love from Portugal

Watch Trudeau speech

Wow. Amazing speech. Dump Donald IMMEDIATLY.... this madness has to stop.

I salute to the prime minister of Canada for his speech. Trump is a stupid !

Well I must say I don't like the Liberals ,But he did a good speech and I agree with Trudeau....

I am just sitting here wondering to myself if the MAGA cult can make any sense or understand what Trudeau Just said they would not be accustom to listening to an intelligent man making a coherent intelligent speech Maybe they need more time

Mr. Prime minister your speech is a masterclass on how to unite canadians from a american who loves canada

It is unbelievable that CNN does not translate the French speech. It shows how disconnected they are from Canadian reality.

So for everyone fawning over Trudeau's ability to be articulate, that is impressive to you only because the U.S. has had a piece of steamed broccoli named Biden as a figure head for the last 4 years.\nI can't say I understand Trump's strategy with respect to Canada, but I absolutely know that Trump is no Socialist like Trudeau is. I am happy to wait and see how this shakes out because Trump has been right on so, so many things. No one is perfect, not Trump and not Trudeau. Maybe it's not about drugs. Maybe Canada could offer to go back to respecting individual liberties and free speech in return for the elimination of U.S. tariffs. Sounds like something Trump would agree to.

This is my state of the union speech for the US because I WILL NOT BE LISTEN TO gangster trump tonight.

Trump is a horrible, horrible human. I am devastated over what he is doing. I've never once given Trump my vote and I'm not a lefty liberal. I knew if he was voted in he was going to cause world wide chaos. He has shown his character over and over and over...yet a large portion of American's just ignored it. This election wasn't about republicans or democrats or independents. This election was about humanity and global security. American's ignored the writing on the wall for their own singular wants/opinions. They stand with their Trump flags but only a few of them can actually explain any accurate information about his policy or legal issues and they condone his behavior. The majority of Trumpers claim to be 'Christians'. Christians voting for a man who is a bully, abuser, liar, predator, monger of power, impedes freedom of press and speech and aligns himself with a dictator. He pardoned violent offenders and called them patriotic, spouts false information, obstructs investigations, has numerous felony charges against him and has now made enemies with our allies. Shall I go on? That's not Christian. Even if you aren't Christian...that's not what America stands for. All for what...eggs? Guns? Cheaper groceries? Or because your need for hating a small group of people out weighs global peace. Or is it because you are so short sighted that you can't even see the valuable contribution that non American born people provide this country. Yes, Biden fell asleep at the wheel. Yet many of you still believed the better choice was a psychopath. This election was important. We failed as a country by putting this man in office. No matter what party you align with, we failed. Yes, I want cheaper eggs. Yes, I really need cheaper groceries. But not over the safety of the globe. Not over the lives of the people and children being killed in an unprovoked war. Not over the safety of Europe. Not over ripping off our closest and favorite country that borders us. Not over losing our democracy and our allies. I stand with Ukraine, Canada, Mexico and Europe and the Gulf of Mexico. You should ask yourself what you really stand for.

I know a lot of Canadians criticize and despise Trudeau but judging from this speech alone makes me respect him a lot! I am European

From my humble little european country I wanted to say I got tears in my eyes of your president's speech. So wonderfull and respectfull!

Awesome speech. Crazy what dumb trump and president Musk (or Putin?) Did to the world on short time

From the UK, standing with Canada. (And I really hope you put a 100% tariff on Tesla products.). Great, clear speech with coherent sentences and no hyperbole. Great speech. And if Canada is willing to do this, what will China do?

The Trudeau's speech is very touching as the Independence Speech by Bill Pullman
