As an American I am impressed by how Canadians stay strong against bullies. I love how the Prime Minister's speech. Say no or back down to bullies.

Excellent speech! Thank you Prime Minister!

Trudeau is flat out lying in this speech. Good lord.

His speech should go viral….this is a speech, an outstanding speech….so different that ofTrumps and his cronies….and wait, this is only the beginning of Trumps administration ….the worst, is yet to come……please América people! Wake up!

I hate that this will fall on so many deaf ears for the people brainwashed by conservative media. CNN sucks too but I would be very surprised if this full speech showed up on Fox for any decent amount of time or without a shitload of spin before during and after

why on earth do you interrupt this man in the middle of his speech? what kind of reporting is that?

An American here. What a great speech by your prime minister! We love Canadians. You folks are the best. And this will pass too!

from canada Trudeau Made me proud. \n Bu I think he speech has fallen on deaf ears. All Trump hears is BLaa Blaa Blaa.

Could we get Canada to the European Union? Damn Trudeau, that was awesome speech. Hails from Finland, let's stand together as Nordic bros, who needs those middle landish people.

Your speech don’t make any sense at all with the far-left propaganda \nand you only go against good loyal people with warm hearts, but when you encounter a real monster or wild animal, you immediately tuck your tail, retreat, and suffocate in fear.

First time I listen to Trudeau’s speech, it’s really good. A decent man comparing to Donald

Instead of going to talking points, how about translating his speech, so we can know what the leadership is saying. Even if he is repeating English segment, I can already sense the conspiracy theorists getting on their keyboards about the hidden French agenda.

Bravo Trudeau for your honesty and brave speech. México stands by you and all Canadians!

Whatever you think of Trudeau, that was a brilliant speech. Not a rambling rant like comrade dump. Go Canada Go

As a Canadian who isnot a JT supporter, I loved this speech.

What a stark difference in leaders! This was such an eloquent speech!

Great speech Trudeau.

Even though Trudeau is a dűmɓ@$$ this was a good speech. Well done on this. Wish you were like this since the beginning.

As a Canadian all of you should know that this guy has decimated our country. Don't be deceived by the smile and rehearsed speech.

Hey Justin Trudeau, who else is a lying Murderous Dictator??? You sent pigs on horses to trample old ladies during the freedom convoy!!! You have taken away everyone’s charter rights of freedom of speech and freedom of expression. That right there is a dictator

a brilliant speech from a brilliant statesman

After a speech like this, he will need to do at least a 20 min Sorry and Thank you in the Oval office for Trump to forgive him.

Profound speech! Much respect x

Watch Trudeau speak directly to Trump during blithering speech??

What a brilliant speech. No shouting, no humiliation, facts and a clear plan of action. Dignity and strength expressed calm, precise and civilised. My highest respect for Mr Trudeau and Canada!

Trump is DUMB, period. Trudeaus speech is excellent, no prompter and speech flows freely. Concise and to the point.

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!!!

Did anyone else have the 'Meet The Grahams' backing track playing in their head during Trudeau's speech, or was it just me

Excellent speech!

I don't like Trudeau, but this speech was great. Intelligent when he needed to be, simple when addressing Trump. A strong start to this trade war which as he said, we don't want. I hope along with Ford we hit America where it hurts. Maybe when their groceries skyrocket in price and their trucks are gone they'll really see where their votes went.\n\nI personally can attest I'm no longer buying DOOM: The Dark Ages, or games on Steam for that matter. I cancelled an order I had from Amazon, and I used to buy Reaper Miniatures, which I will no longer be doing. I'm not going to A&W, or any fast-food chain, or restaurant owned by Americans.

You can give an intelligent speech but if the people who need to hear you are part of a mass cult, your words fall on deaf ears. Sadly, the only people listening already agree with you.

Definitely an articulate speaker- unlike Trump’s vocabulary of a 4th grader. \n\nWill Trudeau’s speech be broadcast on Fox News? The MAGA viewers need to watch this.\n\nSpoiler alert: All the Republican Congressmen puppets will line up and condemn Canada.

This is going to be tough ! Maybe you shouldn't have made us so dependent on the US and shut down our natural resources and ruined our economy. Nice speech douch canoe

That was such an uplifting speech prime minister Trudeau. I hope our president listens to you. Thank you for trying.

holy shit did he just give a good speech?

Hello from Germany ??! Let’s do trade on gas, oil and more! (Germany and Europe) I must say: great speech and with all respect ? Canada ? was represented here, even his ratings are not good. But this was a historic speech and address which no other leader in Canada do better ??

I like how he dumbed out his speech when he was speaking directly to Drumph.

Great speech Mr. Trudeau. that's how a true President should sound. not like Diaper Don.

A powerful speech. Very sad, but it is necessary against an egocentric us president who supports the aggressive dictator putin. Greetings from Berlin.

As an American I could careless what Trudeau the dictator has to say.. free speech something your citizens can't even practice..

Great Speech...craps on Trump.

Excellent speech, PM Trudeo we are watching from United Kingdom, and President Trump is making the biggest mistake. American public needs to raise a voice.

His speech was not only eloquent and well addressed. I loved the paused, calm but firm way in which he spoke. I had my criticism of him, due to some policies of his government, but now, I'd be SO proud to have him as a prime minister. Well done, Mr. Trudeau. Stand strong, Canadians ??✊? From a Brazilian living in Spain, Europe.

Very civilised , sensible and logical speech

You know how weird it feels to be American and listen to him make this speech and think, damn, i feel like I’m on the wrong team ?

As a Canadian, I voted against Trudeau and strongly dislike the liberal party, but this speech was articulate and highly effective it may be extremely proud well done Justin Trudeau

One thing ...and the only thing trudeau does well ..is giving a speach . For 9 years trudeau has ignored our border and drugs coming and going ..for 9 years .. but he gives a damn good speech .

I listened PM Trudeau speech more than 3×. What a great leader Canada has ?? ❤( probably the politest country on our planet)

What a speech from a dignified leader! Take note Donald.
