Wow! A leader of a country, who speaks and acts like a leader for his people... Currently looking up flights from NZ to Canada ?

Its insane to see the amount of people that are being manipulated by politicians only in it for personal gain. Why don't you all take a moment to go google Zelenskys home. Look at it before U.S. aid and after. Oh, wait. I forgot that as soon as that story aired, it was immediately removed from search results the same day. Or the luxury carpets that they spent millions on. So, please enlighten me as to why 2 million dollars worth of carpets are necessary during a war? By the way, that was taken from search results as well. Maybe its because democratic parties have influence over 90% of what we, as americans, use on a daily basis to gather information. I am really not on either side, but isn't the guy speaking here the one that literally resigned like 2 months ago? Everyone is so desperate to hear what they want that they are running right back into this dudes arms.

Well done Trudeau speaking for your country Canada just the same as President Zelensky is speaking up for his country and people ❤

how come we can't have a president who speaks logically and succinctly without digressing into Hunter Biden blah blah blah???

Zelensky and Trudeau are dictators. He does not speak for us Canadians.

This is a president speaking. What America elected to the office of President is nothing but a puppet, a clown out for his own and his cronies interests.

A true leader, speaking to a true moron.

Trudeau is speaking extra slowly in order to make sure that chaos-Donald is cognitively able to comprehend his words.

So many followers commenting on what a strong leader looks like. Sit down. You couldn't lead a ? out of your own ass. Don't speak on what you don't know.

I’m Canadian but lived in the US for 12 years. Trump keeps moving the goal post. This is bullying, plain and simple. Do not yield, Canada. You yield to a bully and he’ll keep taking and taking. I know my people of the north are strong and they know the hardships ahead are worth it for the greater good. But I also know my friends here in the US are largely in Canada’s favor and for that I am thankful. President Trump does not speak for all Americans.

Bro just focus on canada....lmao...I don't think foreign leaders should be speaking for Americans. You're not Americans. We both know why this is happening,,,you're country censors speech,,The Trumps administration do not like that one bit. As long as Canada is led by a liberal (meaning liberal/communist/marxist/woke policies being passed),,it's a threat to national security to the United States (If a republican is President). It just beats the logic of being an American.

Why is he speaking for Canada? Didn’t he resign and quit on the Canadian’s?

Thank you for speaking to Americans too. We love Canada. We will learn the hard way how to be a better neighnor.

Got to love how Justin has to talk to Trump. Like a kid. We have done big things and you're a smart boy. Got to praise the cult leader to make him happy. I truly wish Justin was our president. What a great person and he speaks clearly and is smart. He isn't annoying or an idiot like trump. We truly live in the stupid timeline. Canada is going to get their items from Europe and Asia and South America. So congratulations America we are about to lose so much. Trump is making us weaker.

Mister Prime Minister, you could have used your time much better than speaking directly to Trump and hoping he is listening ..... maybe taking a big dump ....

Why don't you speak in ftench

Thank you for speaking truth! Well done.

People who speak of Russia as it were the enemy obviously don't know the reasons why Russia had to defend itself moreover don't know who ZELENKSY really is, and what people your tax dollars is arming I will give you a clue: Azov.

Trudeau, speaking facts!

To all of our allies. trump do not speak for us. We, Americans, still value our friendship and partnership with you. We do NOT agree with trump!

why even bother trying to speak to Trump or his crazy bunch of lunatics. You sit down with him one day all chummy and diplomatic and the next day or even at the same time he is stabbing you in the back ( Macron - Trump - United nations US vote with Russia) \nWe cannot trust trump anymore .

Simple words, slow speaking and repeating that Trump may understand these words... \nGo Canadians! As a European take and we are with you.

This is the way a strong leader speaks! Bravo! And now where are the Democratic leaders Schumer und Jeffries, the weakling Democrats? Sleeping and doing book tours?

This is how you speak to your country and to the world, not like the Orange clown we have in America.

Trudope doesn't speak for this Canadian woman! We need an election now!!

Don't bother. You may as well be speaking to a bowl of mushroom soup.

Good Luck with that! I mean, what's new? You've had a tariff on the US forever now. Next time Trudeau, you need to grow a set of balls and speak with the president. Don't address the US. Address the president of the United States in person, or at the very least the phone call. Congrats, you just screwed over the Canadian people. So again what's new?

I understand why their talking heads are talking over Trudeau when he is speaking in French. But why at 15:15 do I have to listen to the talking heads, rather than hearing from Trudeau himself?Their opinions are not the news...his are.

All of us deserve this, for allowing the wealthy to speak for the masses.

To Justin, speak about Canada, don't worry about Putin and Russia - you lose me because I don't care about that. It's not your problem...stick to your issue.

As an American, YOU make me SICK! You are such a hypocrite who is ACTIVELY destroying his own country! I will make the hard decision to do without/pay more rather than pander to Canada, Mexico, China, etc…. So Mr. Trudeau, don’t “speak” to us about anything! Just go away!

Wow and he speaks French! ?

Proud to see those who stand up and speak up, including our US volunteer soldiers in Ukraine (on Youtube) who spoke up after watching the Friday meeting. I pray for Peace, unity and open communication among the nations. A very concerned US citizen on many levels for the world.

I wish the US had a leader who could speak so eloquently. We did with Obama.

He speaks with integrity-giving real facts and numbers. And not once tried to sell a fucking hat!

Suffer Canada. You've added tons of tariffs on American products in the past and you're still doing it. Get your leftist act together. And you voted for Trudeau so that speaks for itself. Go cry to the choir.

That’s the only Language Trump speaks

I live in Vancouver and it has the largest open air drug market in North America. I can't recall Trudeau ever speaking about the Fentanyl pandemic so frequently. I worked with NPO's when they declared a public health emergency...hundreds were dying a month, and it seemed at the time that there was so little dialogue due to fear of public backlash for taking a stance on this issue.\n\nI'm not trying to get on a soap box here...but I'm just shocked. I could have given Trudeau a 5 minute drive through main and hastings in my 1998 RAV4 to show him how bad it is, and was...I wonder if he would have opened up this much?

Thank you for speaking to us, Prime Minister. Our Representatives won't even give us that courtesy.

While I didn't vote for Trump... The idea that this will hit Trump voters almost makes the financial suffering I may have to endure worth it. They will finally feel the consequences of their stupid choices on a personal level. This is the only thing that will speak to them. Thank you Justin Trudeau. I am not looking forward to this personally. But it's important that we as a nation face the consequences of our actions.

Hey now don't let the orange creature speak for all of us, the country didn't start a trade war, one tiny handed little man did.

Justin speaks in complete sentences and respects Canadians. Our family has relatives in Florida & Cape Cod. Blessings during these trying times.

this is how a head of state should speak

Trudeau is speaking and acting like the statesman he is! His way of speaking on this matter is truly polite and great. He is defending his country and its values! Hopefully there's many more leaders of other countries that will step up and take action against the person that ignorant americans voted into the White House! This will soon blow up in the face of the goverment in the US. Hopefully the blow is tough and hard!

Strong speech of Trudeau! We Europeans feel you and we are totally with Canada. \nHowever, I guess there is no point anymore speaking reasonable arguments to someone who simply lost all resonableness. The ones behind him (voters) are blinded by the lies and false arguments they now believe in. \nUnfortunately this all will cause an unparalel loss of economic growth for everyone, ALSO for the americans themselves. In addition, the world peace balance will badly loose its balance and can end up quite uggly.

You don't need to speak to us Americans directly. Our President already told your ass what's what. Now either pay up or let's get busy.

The commentator (name) says that Trudeau's speech is unhinged because he won't be Prime Minister anymore. NO! He speaks for us all.

Why is this man even speaking. He RESIGNED!!!

erin3292\n0 seconds ago\nOMG now I love Canadians EVEN more. Speaking Truth ?

Why don’t you worry about Canadians and let us worry about our people in the usa . Just because you speak clearly doesn’t mean your a good leader
