Wow PM Trudeau speaks only the truth. ? how reassuring to see our leader being so sincere and standing strong for the people in Canada and clearly showing the world and people in the US the truth that the US GOVERNMENT hates to hear. What a disgrace to have such malicious people in the administration when the power could be used to save people and make the society better. Their slogan is frankly MAWA - make America worse again (2nd trump term). So happy to see PM Trudeau telling its dumb to do this directly to the orange sack of s*hit. Maple Pride is strong!!! I’m not only feeding my family Canadian produce and products, but also my cats! ❤

It’s so comforting to listen to an intelligent man speak ?

Venting his emotions in public—man, what a clown. Did he say anything relevant? It took him nine minutes just to say, 'Oh, Trump did what he said three weeks ago,' cry, and play the friend card. Why does he even have the right to speak when he was the president? Man, we’ve got to stop giving attention to that guy.

I envy the Canadians, having a capable, brave, patriotic leader speaking for them.

Trudeau is eloquent in speaking nothing like Trump. I admire Trudeau I dislike Trump and the Republicans.

I love how he simplifies his language when speaking to Donald Trump

Trudeau speaks eloquently and demonstrates integrity - another true Statesman. What a contrast to The Kremlin’s Agent Orange !

?? ?? Zelenskyy is the only person to speak up against Trump and Vance. Others need to speak to them they the same way.They are the criminals and don't know how to tell the truth,so they yell and try distraction ploys.? Millions of people will start yelling like them.?..at congress members.

Trudeau is a model of intellect and logic. How sad that the U.S. now cannot match the clear speaking diplomacy of Canada. \nWe envy you Canada!

My government is doing exactly what I voted them to do, Trudeau!!\nSo step away from the mic and let an adult speak for Canada. Because we Americans DO NOT LIKE YOU!

I'm Canadian and this idiot is NOT my Prime Minister, the door is already closing on him and he should NOT be speaking for my country!!

Proud Canadian - Australian dual citizen here -thanks for speaking truth to power. Trump is dumb loser.

As an American..This is how a leader speaks..and not a bunch of word salad BS like Trump and his goons address the world. Just embarrassing as hell.

Yeah...... Speaking directly to Trump, ...... Through the saftey of his TV screen. Trudeau is spineless.

We the people have the power. However, other leaders speaking out against this tariff shit helps. The whole world is watching. Impeach Trump!!

I hope Canada's retaliatory tariffs target products from Trump states. Also, listening to Trudeau reminds me how much I miss having an intelligent, articulate POTUS. Four years of The Orange Retard, then four years of Geriatric Genocide Joe, and now four more years of The Orange Retard. Why is it too much to ask that We Americans have an articulate, educated leader who's undiminished by senescence (bonus points for speaking French!)

imagine hearing your leader speak and you actually believe them.

I don’t want it either. You are speaking the truth. I love your country and your people. I’m so sorry this is happening and hope you know that a large portion of our nation is just as appalled as you. It’s not about fentanyl — it’s about bigotry, power and control, isolating the people of this country, putting us in a constant fight/flight state, so the Christian Nationalists can pull the President’s strings and take over this country. Thank you for your sanity in the midst of our chaos. Don’t give up on us. ?

This is how a real leader speaks. Trump is a weenie

Tonight the orange puppet will speak. Comparing him with Trudeau will be the best explaination ever of what's the difference between a civilized country and a thirld world one. Enjoy.

Speak directly to Donald, that says alot. Let that sink in.

Thank you President Trudeau for speaking the truth about what a mess the felon has created with this stupid tariff plan.

The world needs to speak up more! The American people don't want it either. We're helpless in the US to do anything with this stupidity. It's all Trump & project 2025.

Anyone else sick of hearing Trudeau speak about our politics?

Only he wasn't speaking directly to trump. He was speaking to a camera. Pretending to be a tough guy. \nAlso he said Canadians are reasonable and polite... except for the fact that a buncha drunken bostonians still behaved better than every Canadian hockey fan that ever existed a couple weeks ago when the Canadians booed our national anthem. \nF canada. F trudeau what a scumbag.

This is how a good president speaks.

PM Trudeau, I’m an American and I don’t want this either. I’m not speaking for every American, but I know this “Trade War” is unnecessary and negligent. Thanks to our incompetent president.

Good speach! Unfortunately Trump will mumble something that nodody understands or speaks about something else for an answer and his maga baboons say hallelujah and nothing changes, but only goes to more crazy.

Just saw Trudeau's speech, that's how a world leader speaks, calm and respectful without disguising reality and claiming all the credit. \nThe republicans wish they had a leader like that

Government doesn’t speak for the people.. We stand with Canada ?

When will Trump speak like this. What a shame America has come to this level.

He used too many big words when speaking directly to Donny. He won't understand half of them

Why are these reporters speaking while the president is speaking, were they rushing to somewhere after this

This is how a true leader speaks!

Can you please put someone up there to speak to Trump with a set of balls! Also Justin, Canada wouldn't be as bad off right now if you had done your job correctly for the last 9 years. We are STILL ALL BLAMING YOU!

Now foreign leaders can speak directly to the other Nation citzens. This is very powerfull

This is the leader speaking. Not trump. I speak this as a US citizen.

Wow, a leader that can speak intelligently.... I'm jealous!

Stop lieing to us its TRUDEAU THATS A DICTATOR AND SO IS ZELINSKI.... I THOUGHT YOU RESIGNED WHY ARE YOU EVEN SPEAKING FOR CANADIANS AT ALL ... GO AWAY

a leader that can speak to every side of the issue. he is such the stark contrast to who America 'elected'. Someone has to carry the torch of Democracy.

The way a leader of the free world should speak and address the nation!???

Remember, this is how a leader speaks, not like the 5 years old mentality of Trump.

OMG! A leader who speaks in whole sentences!!!!!!!

This is how one president speaks, who also warns his people, the other only talks about how wonderful everything is and how great he is.

Thank you from Norway JT for speaking for all the shining villages across the field benath the now dark hill. We will stick together with whatever friends we yet have.

Trudeau understood the assignment. He knew exactly who he was speaking to: not just to Canadians but directly to Americans and beyond.

Every Canadian I've heard speak about this guy hates him?????

Finally CNN speaks truth to power

Justine Trudeau speaks the truth on Trump's , bad judgements, At least our Prime Minister stands up to bullies , We as Canadians will stand in Pride United against Trump, Enough?

This is the kind of President we need, but definitely don't have one close like this. TRUMP IS AN EVIL BOZO. The fact that we elected him speaks volumes of the dumbing down of America. His followers are idiots. They will suffer from him very soon. His policies are sooooo anti-family, anti-middle class. You Trump voters have brought the devil upon us all.
