Could there be someone calling Putin now, asking permission and how to address this............................................................................................

If your most stable genius noticed that this very eloquent man referred to very. simple. speech. and. short. main. sentences. when addressing him? Yes, you can insult people without throwing stupid names at them. Very fitting. The orange messiah deserves every malice he can possibly get. And more, because this whole trade war will affect especially poor and medium income US consumers. CANADA will help Canadian citizens affected from the tariffs. Guess what DT´s administration will do for US citizens. Exactly.

What about the fact the Trump was approached as an operative to the KGB in 1987?? When is this going to be addressed? I mean, we are becoming allies with Russia. It doesn't get crazier then this. I stand with Europe, Canada and Mexico. Trump/Vance/Musk is enemies of the state.

CNN - What kind of language does Donald Trump use when addressing elected representatives of the respected global community? He resorts to belittling, mocking, taunting, and even threatening individuals with alarming ease, seemingly without any sense of shame or restraint.\n\nPrime Minister Trudeau conducted himself as a gentleman, consistently speaking in a respectful and dignified manner. In contrast, Donald Trump often demonstrates a lack of morals, manners, etiquette, and ethical principles, which is truly shameful.

Sec of Commerce said Trump might rollback tariffs against CAN & MEX during State of Union address tonight AFTER NOT EVEN 1 DAY!!!

I found it to be a very smart move when he directly addressed the American public.

This is something, a Leader of another country addressing us. It is really that bad!!! We don't blame you Canada, we know... Oh and by the way THANK YOU!!

It’s deeply embarrassing that the only way to make sure the President listens is to address him by name in a speech. I wish I’d been born in Canada

Is it just me or Trudeau had to change the language to simpler when started to address Donald? Had to use words 'deal', 'great things' ;)

I will address this to on my channel

What a speech. So refreshing to hear a leader speaking and addressing the President and the American people. All Canadian should be proud. Go ?? Canada John NZ\nJ

Dumb dumb drump needs to address his own fentanyl problem not us! There's less than 2% of fentanyl coming through your borders nor OURS.

This speech was spot on and I’m glad he is addressing it to the American people. Cause our leaders obviously don’t care.

Very impressive! Trudeau is an amazing leader, and has certainly addressed properly to Donald. But of course Donald is not interested because actually he loves to do dumb things.

Love the tone with addressing Trump. Yes, Mr President, you are the big boy, you are genius, you did great things. This not good.... just this one, otherwise good job big boy ?

This what leadership looks like. Too bad the US doesn't have this. ? Canada def with you and appreciate how Prime Minister Trudeau addressed. This is sad and is going to hurt EVERYONE.??

MAGA ?????? I resent this Azzhol PM he made Canada a mess , I have Family in Canada ?? they can’t wait till he’s out …Canadian hate Trudeau . Zelensky is a pompous little “ Dicktator “resigned but he’s still there what a JERK \nHow dare he address our President Trump as he does .. he’s gonna get his Karma

I love how he dumbed down the language when he started addressing Trump? BIG things, GREAT things

The reporter addressing this speech as anti-americanism is the most shocking thing. Let me put it clearly for you in case you don't understand, CNN: isolationist policies lead to reactionary policies. American policies are anti-canadian, NOT the other way around.

I am not a fan of Trudeau and prefer Pierre but I am not above giving Justin credit for this address. Where was this Justin when we needed him. Anyways credit to Justin no matter my stand because one can see it in his face he isn’t happy and means it . ?

I applaud our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. He comes in strong, clear, no flourishes. No shade of weakness at all. Specially when he was addressing Trump directly. Polite like a true Canadian but pointed. Too bad, he won't be our PM after next week.

Dual citizen in Canada I could not be more ashamed at the US tantrum showing man Vs The real adult Trudeau in the room. \nWe thank you for your address today and telling Donny we are not standing on the playground and taking the mean actions anymore.

Love Justin Trudeau’s addressing “Donald”. PM stated all true facts. Will we ever hear “Donald” utter this much intelligence? Never. Not at all!

I’m so proud of my ??Prime Minister ? he’s eloquent, honest, intelligent and handsome too. \nMr. Trudeau, you addressed the person correctly when you called him “Donald” he has nothing close resembling that of a President. \n\nIt will be difficult but I’m ready to stand with my country and fight against bullying!??

He tried to address Donald Trump man to man But that does now work for Trump You have to get down on the ground and grovel And lick his boots To even get Trump To acknowledge somebody because Trump thinks he's God

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

Anybody notice how when addressing Donald, he spoke much slower and at a lower grade level ? he knows

Very sad to watch a president use the incorrect means of communication to address our president. \nChoosing to pretend that you do not know the use of diplomacy is irresponsible and violent. Meet us with dignity, face to face and privately like you did with the willing in Europe. Shame on you, again !

Trump's response to this was to address our PM as 'Governor' and threaten more tarrifs.

Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau, for your steadfast leadership in these challenging times. Your clear and decisive response to the unjustified U.S. tariffs demonstrates a commitment to protecting Canadian interests and upholding the integrity of your nation's economy. \n\nIt's reassuring to witness a leader who can speak sense and stand firm against unwarranted actions. \n\nYour dedication to maintaining strong international relationships while addressing internal challenges reflects true statesmanship. Canada is fortunate to have such principled guidance as we navigate these complexities together.​ #IStandWithCanada

STOP THE FLOW OF FENTANYL COMING ACROSS YOUR BORDER AND THIS ENDS!!! We are also very aware of how YOU treat your own citizens, so don’t address our nation as if you know good from evil. In other words SHUT UP!

Why would he address him as anything other than Donald when President Musk is the true leader?

Impressive. I Love how the language changed when he was addressing Trump directly “deal” “you’re a very smart guy” “big things” “dumb thing”. Then back to speaking to the adults.

Haha how he purposely reduced his vocabulary when directly addressing Trump ?

The FIRST direct address to the American People by ANY President lately... Keep on it Justin!!!

I sure miss having a leader who could speak coherently and eloquently when addressing the people. Trump needs to go!

7:00 Addressed him as Donald, as a parent would address a little boy.

How about you address the problems in your shitty country then maybe we would reconsider. But honestly, this isn’t going to affect America one percent as it will affect Canada so I really don’t care. Tax my syrup big whoop.

Drug use in America, particularly the fentanyl crisis, is a significant issue that requires attention from the government. If American citizens weren't using fentanyl, the demand for it in the market would decrease. However, during his administration, Trump often shifted responsibility for problems rather than addressing them directly. Additionally, the tariffs he implemented had widespread negative effects, impacting people both domestically and globally for the benefit of his administration.

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.

The significance that PM Trudeau addressed him as Donald go over so many heads. It is greatly appreciated that the PM also acknowledged that Americans will be hurt by this as well, especially those of us who didn’t vote for Trump.

Liberals need to address and \nListen to your people who are supporting the Liberal party

Trudeau did get one thing wrong in his address. Trump is NOT a smart man.

Half the USA voted for the Orange blithering baboon, jeeze. This is how an intelligent, well educated, empathetic leader with a World view addresses the Global stage. So embarrassed for my Country. What an infant we have at the helm.

The irony is, Canada will take measures to address the cost of living. The US will keep giving $$$$ to billionaires. Trump/ Republican's do not care about everyday people.

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.

Fantanyl is the issue? Sounds like they got a lot of junkies in the US... Should be addressed... ?

Trump loves America. Trudeau, you stepped down I thought? Don't you have the lowest ratings from your own people? We love our president, well the normal ones here in USA, not the gender confused left of course. Tariffs work, that's why you're on tv right now addressing it with such fear.

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 ??

Educated Canadians would think the issue is your drug usage and all the junkies in the US... Maybe address that problem... Guns don't kill people... Drugs don't either until they are ingested... Sounds like the US has a huge Crackhead problem...
