No winners in a trade war. No winners in a Trump America. \n\nCanadians should be proud of having a smart, wise, handsome, rational leader. Sadly, ours is the polar opposite, a bloated tragic excuse for a president. As one of MANY millions who voted for Kamala, we join Canadians in the fight against these ridiculous tariffs that Trump initiated. We're ashamed of him. This Trudeau speech is very very honorable and articulate and resolute.

Phenomenal speech. Europeans and Canadians should stand together against this new Russia-USA alliance. American people, I still do not understand why you have chosen this man and his disastrous program. We will all pay the price for that. We all want to live in peace, there was no need for that

This is the only speech I have ever liked from Trudeau. Otherwise…ugh.

His best speech in 9 years. Sounds like a leader!

As an American, I am so jealous of Canadians. Your govt's got your back and you actually have people who can speak properly running your govts ? I liked Trudeau's speech and answers so much. He's being so honest

Strong Speech. \nHopefully trump, that mental fish, will understand this clear and wellspoken language.

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 love this speech so much. I am so proud to be Canadian.

Rational, logical, and concise leader surrounded by a competent team. Wish we had that in the USA… (Note: I watched this cogent speech. I will not be watching the orange toddler’s clown show tonight.)

From Romania here: \nwhat a clean and honest speech! Respect for Canada!\nMr. Trump, It is miserable to ally with a criminal. Shame on you! USA is not your company, it's the free world!

Great speech. But won't work I'm afraid. You used a lot of words, so you lost Trump after the first sentence. And more important, you forgot to say, 'thank you USA'.\nI'm from Europe: we stand by Canada! You should build a big wall, to keep Trump and his corrupt groupies inside the usa. We will help pay for it, and I think Mexico will do too.

Holy fuck. One emotional speech drama and all the love pouring for this idiot in the comments. You realise that making sweet speech is the only thing he can do, only quality an extreme left politician has? That they are trained all their life for making speeches.?

Justin Blackface Trudew. I may not like you for obvious reasons but I applaud you for this speech.

Outstanding speech without the need for a reader prompt.

Thanks Prime minister, for your speech.

Amazing speech Prime Minister Trudeau!!!❤

Good speech Justin Trudeau. He spoke well and did not lower himself to Felon47.

I live in canada, Trudeau is the most hated prime minister in history. \nCNN can pander all they want to this dictator, but know this, Trudeau is a wef puppet and doesn't give a shit about anyone but himself. \n\nThis joke of a speech is just a photo op and acting tough because an election is coming.

Best speech ever! So proud of you! ??

I guess siding with the bully as he was messing with many counties all these years is now hitting back to both EU and Canada. Very brave speech, though. Unfortunately, international affairs are driven by economic and military power, not by intellectual capacity.

Wow... haven't heard a good speech like this in awhile. This is how an adult with manners speaks.

Very clear and fantastic speech!!!

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.

That was a powerful speech. THAT. Is a leader.

I am a proud Canadian of Justin Trudeau ! The speech is direct, says what is to be said with absolute no ambiguity ! Buy Canadian from now on Donald !

Donald is not a smart man of course. But, in terms of approaching a fascist and a criminal, since Canada will be hurt, Trudeau has to be the decent guy he is. Brilliant speech, the best I have heard ever. The guy is poised and knows how to speak. He is smart and compared to him, Trump is incredibly stupid. Bravo. Let me be clear, Trump is a traitor, a bully, a conman, totally lacking in compassion...he is driven by his perverse megalomania and narcissism. He is, in reality a very mentally sick man. And the Republicans are his pathetic cowardly accomplices. Given the continued support, Trump will run American into the gourd, even risk a war to get the attention he needs so badly.

Hello from Germany We have very good political programs on television here. “Markus Lanz” is currently running. I believe that German citizens are much better informed about the domestic political situation than American citizens. And what is happening in America should be deeply concerning to the American people. In our assessment, the American administration under Trump, Vance and Musk is transforming the USA into an authoritarian state run by American oligarchs in which there is no democracy, freedom of speech or freedom of expression, information controlled by the state, fake news, etc. America is in great danger domestically.

Awesome speech Justin Trudeau!!!!

All it takes for canadians to forgive this goober is a speech? No wonder you keep voting him in.

A great Canadian leadership and a proper honest speech. We need this leadership in Italy as well. I wonder if Trump really understood this speech instead of acting with arrogance. Lately, l don't get him. First Gaza, then Greenland, Ukraine, and now Canada?

After a speech like this, discourse and solutions are supposed to follow. It's how we work with peers in school, it's how business allies work.\n\nInstead, Trump may see this as a harsh message and fire up the heat to turn this into a spectacle-- arguments, ego, threats. And then the actions will be reactions and attacks instead of solutions. i think the issue lies in that my statements-- no matter if you're Red or Blue, ring factually correct to Trump\ns behavior. he's not here to save citizens or solve issues. He is here for us to watch his reality TV show-- but it's also our own reality!! \n\nHOW IS THE US AND CANADA IN A TRADE WAR RIGHT NOW IN 2025!? I don't understand!!!

Now that's how you do a SPEECH UK ✌✌

Wow great speech, especially first minute. He isn't scared of our new traitor president. Kudos to Canada for standing up to our lousy bully. Sadly, its just one lousy businessman doing this to everyone. Nice work MAGA. What you gotta say now?

Canada ??? We will fight against the h00dlooms in the WH and his minions. An inspiring speech which is the extreme opposite of that ? ?‍?. This is how to address those people without being antagonistic. Canadians are indeed good polite people and can never be disparaged.

A pity this man is about to leave office. What a clear speech!

What a leader you are Trudeau! What a fantastic speech! From The Netherlands ????

Great speech, as a dutch person i stand with canada. ????

Wow such a good speech - something which isn’t common nowadays.

Great speech. Glad someone is standing up to the orange felon, because far too many Americans are too ready to believe his BS and kiss his A$$

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

American from Wisconsin. Standing in support of Canada. This country is going down the tubes fast! I hope that all Americans will take time to listen to your speech before listening to the BS that we will get from Trump tonight.......

Absolutely beautiful speech \nI love listening to your prime minister

I’m Canadian. My family have always been Liberals but I’m not much of a Trudeau fan myself. For today, it doesn’t matter whether you like the man or not, Trudeau deserves a standing ovation for his speech and the actions he is taking. That’s what a leader of a country should sound like and react like. It’s going to be a tough road ahead for us but together we will pull through this. Stay strong my fellow Canadians, we got this. ❤

Love this look and confidence from Justin Trudeau ! I am sad to see you leave your title of Prime minister. We could use alot of good speech like the ones you are giving us lately. Speeches that makes us proud to be Canadians . Love and support from Montreal xox.

Now, that is a speech that will be remembered .

wow al the delusional people on here amazing .Trump wants the tariffs to pay so americans dont have to pay taxes thats smart we should do the same and has everyone forgot that tirdeau doesnt like free speech .he is on the epstein list and his sister is tied to the picktin farm .and the war on drugs is a joke .it is worse than ever. proof is in the pudding people .trudeau is the enemy just like biden and all those like him wake up canadians .tirdeau funds hamas they are terrorists and war mongers .how terrible Trump wants world peace so does anyone with half a brain.im with trump. he is doing what many should have long ago .we need Trump here too

Great speech!!

What a dirty speech..you can hear the green vom1t he has eaten before he gave this. Someone exorcise him.

Why you are so worried, you’re days are numbered after October you’re gone. Remember your winter last almost 7 months.\nNobody will invest in that kind of weather. US just have 500 billion dollars and 100 billion dollars of investment just signed days ago.\nThis speech really makes you are really worried. Why they are no Starbucks in Canada only Tim Horton that’s why you have this tarrifs ???

Good speech. All the best Canada. Britain and Scotland ???????. Are with you.????
