Don't be fooled Canada has been using tariffs on American goods for decades, it's not new and this isn't some bold great leader doing the right thing. He's a baby stomping his feet because he wants to tariff America and not be taxed back. He's not a leader and he's not a man. He's a little boy doing tiny petty things. He was fine when the gravy train made him a profit, he's mad because the free money just ran out.

God Bless this articulate, smart , compassionate leader. I’m American who hates everything about Trump. Everything. I wish I could move to Canada. God Bless you’ll. And pray for us here living with this crazy dictator It’s horrible.

This guy is awesome.\nCanada, you can be proud of him. Mr. Trudeau, kudos to you. Please, give an orange-faced leader in the U.S. a call, and let him know, if he wants the United States to thrive, Canada can start sending music teachers to the U.S. for all Americans to start learning a Canadian anthem. ?? O Canada! Our home and native land! ? ? ! Americans start learning it. You are a new Gulf of Canada ?? . Congratulations !!!

Canada, will you annex Minnesota please? I am embarrassed, disgusted, and ashamed of my fellow Americans that allowed this despicable human to enter the office that we hope would be a leader and an inspiration to the rest of the world. If we have any say about it, he/it wont be there for long.

Justin is a true leader, well spoken, intelligent, i support Canada, i will make sure to support and buy Canadian products

Be strong Canada, like Ukraine! Canadians, you must all unite and support the Prime Minister. You have a smart, well-mannered, educated leader!

I am so proud of Canada and the Prime Minister. As an American, and respect and support this professional and empathic acknowledgement to this hideous tariff war. Americans are watching a mature leader, addressing several nations. The Heritage foundation is reckless and feeding Dfrump.

You mean Canada's leader doesn't wear orange makeup and vomit forth unending lies? What a strange place Canada must be!

Not the people in the comments glazing Trudeau as if they forgot how shit the housing and drug situation is in Canada ? just because he's more eloquent doesn't mean he's a good leader. He literally resigned ?

So, everyone's favorite leader of Canada failed negotiations with Trump and decided to go public by putting pressure on the American people who are paying for the whole buffet. Since when did politics and diplomacy become such an ugly mess?

My husband and I are seniors and we will be applying for citizenship in Canada. We are wanting a leader like the Prime Minister who does look out for the common people NOT an impeached felon who is definitely supporting the Billionaires. This wicked so called President only cares about the Billionaires and methods how he can take advantage of your blue collar workers. It just sickens me that our Vets fought for our freedoms and some made the ultimate sacrifice.

Okay okay Mr. Prime Minister Trudeau, you have got my respect back as I see where your loyalty lays and that is with Canada. Well done sir and well articulated. I have never been so disgusted in a leader as I am with Trump and his people including his goofball sidekick.

I wish Trudeau was staying on as Prime Minister. Canada has a very intelligent and strong leader now. What we have in the US is absolutely abysmal. Americans are already suffering due to the idiocy and bullying tactics of the current government here..Donald.

Canada is very lucky to have true leader in PM Trudeau …I’m embarrassed by how Trump is acting. Canada please forgive us as this is not the American way.

1st generation immigrant who has lived both in Canada and the US here. I have to, it's a shame, it's a shame that the US elected such a leader. He is breaking trusts built up in the last century between allies. Shame!

You all realize he is a complete failure as a leader right? Propaganda aside, he is hated in Canada. Absolutely destroyed Canada on the world stage and within our open border. Canada will take years to recover if it even can. He should be in jail. He is done.. can't be gone soon enough.

Wow an eloquent leader speaking the truth. Oh imagine if we had a leader like this. Canada, please forgive the US for the crap storm we created.

Hey guess what, Canada! We don't want this either, but our leader is a piece of 5h1t scumbag. And me, and millions of people are so triggered right now, and we hate him and what he stands for and what he is. And guess what else, we're scared. More than you will ever understand.

Fiull respect... that's a real leader! I love Canada

We have three individuals (manager and engineers)who left Canada. I asked what's going on? Answer: the current leader(ship) is full psychobabble and does not give a SHIT about Canada's people!!! Turdeau, the only thing you have done is SHIT on Canada and its people!!!!!!!!!

i am surprised to see so many canadian idiots still endorsing this clown. Trump imposes tariff today for a reason -- this clown simply has inherently different philosophy and that is the reason Canada is punished today. Set aside right or wrong from the US side, a truly responsible leader should mitigate damage instead of soliciting them, and seek ways out instead of putting oil on fire.

Intelligence, wisdom, patriotism…why can’t US have a leader like Trudeau. (But Trump is NOT a smart man. That comment was meant to praise the boy.) Go, Canada!

lol to those seeing Trudeau speak for the first time and coming to the conclusion that because he’s easy on the eyes, and is articulate that he is somehow competent. Dude just resigned as leader of his party and has driven Canada into the ground.

Just because he is speaking nicely scripted it doesn’t mean he is a good leader look at the Canada it’s not that good country, what he did to you during Covid . You need to choose different leader for better Canada ??.

Alright looks like im going to Canada, very polite and articulate leader!

Justin is.gonna be gone soon. And Trump is going to wait. And the next leader of Canada will be an ally of Trump

Oh Trudeau... !!! ? Of course, he too has made some unfortunate decisions for Canada's state affairs over the past few years, but no argument THIS is what a serious, competent, bright world leader looks and sounds like!!

CANADA IS SLIGHTLY CONTROL BY CHINA ?? that's why the leaders of canada is out of mind because they are run by China so that they receive a lot of money from China

Despite Canada has some issues within the country, but your leader is much better than your neighbour. Kudos to Justin! What a great speech?

I really like the way that he said about he's not going to sugar coat anything and he spoke so clearly to inform Americans what is truly going on with what Trump is doing to this country and Trudeau is telling people the truth just like the leader from North Korea. When you get leaders who barely rare give speeches then you know that they are not bull sh**ing about what they are talking about, but Trump is doing that and he's going to destroy people's lives in America and he's going to destroy America. Why would he turn a country (Canada) who's been there for America into an enemy and that's because he doesn't care about the country and they don't have what he wants and all he cares about is money and power, so know he just turned a country Canada into an enemy, WTF IS HE THINKING ABOUT CLEARLY NOT PEOPLE IN AMERICA!

Do not fall for Trudeau, he is not a competent leader. His resignation would explain his competencies. We pay taxes like crazy, he does not do a damn thing about it but wants to raise carbon taxes too.... He is just putting on a show.... For more than 9 yrs in power, he should have put Canada First, now that he is leaving and talks like he cares, what a hypocrite!

We here in Detroit love Canada. We are ashamed of our president and his buddies, Putin and Musk. And we are so jealous of the Canadian leaders who actually speak like intelligent people and tell the truth. And why is Trump trying to blame our neighbors for our own citizens' drug abuse? Americans created the drug cartels, gave them all the money and all that power. .

That man is an ass hat. One of the worst leaders Canada has ever had.

Imagine a country's leader speaking articulately for BlackRock .... shame! \nBlackRock investments in Canada = $330 billion \nBlackRock owns 47% of Ukraine territory \nand economic + financial advisors of Biden

We don’t want this, either. He’s not our president. He stole the election and lied to his minions. We are sorry and we understand. We still love you, Canada. ?? ❤ we will still be here when he is dead and gone. We wish we had a good, polite leader.

From Canada, and reading the comments is truly heartfelt. Trudeau gets a pretty polarizing reputation in our country, but to know the world sees him as more reputable and more of a leader makes me proud to be Canadian and to stay positive in these chaotic times. Thank you

Feels so sad. Trump destroyed everything what Ronald Reagan build for USA. Now USA=USSR. GOD bless Canada they have a leader, we have just BIG nothing (((

You are a real leader now,never back down ,show canada can hurt donald too

We are Canada lovers in Washington state. So ashamed of the idiot in the White House--why can't we have a cool, smart leader like Trudeau? We'll be in BC later this month, then again in July, spending money, having fun! We stand with Canada!!!

So much respect for you, sir. Showing what a real leader is supposed to act like. be like. My one great country has been taken over by right wing extremists. Put into power by my fellow Americans who have just lost their way. Bought into all the hate that he has brought. This American has always thought of Canada as a major friend. And will continue to do so. This American stands with Canada I stand with Ukraine I stand against Putin and always will.

Don't be fooled by this wimp my American friends. Trudeau is a weasel and has killed Canada. I'm not a fan of Trump but he still has seen thru this bum and we deserve what we're getting because of his neglect and Woke policies for the last 10 years. he's as corrupt as a politician can get. So please wait til we get a leader in Canada that will get us back to a REAL partner with the US. An election is gonna happen real soon that will put a Prime Minister in place that will address the concerns of both of our countries and get things back to normal.....and it won't be Mark Carney!!!!!

My heart hurts watching this. As an American, I respect and agree with Prime Minister Trudeau. Canada has been a kind and generous ally, and our current government leaders are just coming up with excuses for this stupid ass trade war. \n\nI am so sorry to all the Canadian citizens whom this negatively impacts. I hope you will show grace to those of us who voted against Trump and who continue to stand up to this tyrant.

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau from the U.S. Very kind words and extremely helpful information that we all need to hear from a political leader that is talking to us without all the rhetoric and childish behavior. DT is extremely wrong and ignorant. Many Americans stand with Canada, Ukraine and Mexico. God bless you and world peace for all of us.

uk will trade with canada no problem and ukraine \nfrom a scot cant see the canadians backing down \nMinister Justin Trudea what a leader first time i have ever listened closely to this guy top man\nam sure the people in america in shock what is happening with their country

Spoken like a TRUE PRESIDENT!\nEdit...I am an American, and our government and its leader are wrong and misguided.\nI stand with Canada.

Can we switch presidents? Ours stinks. Canada has an authentic leader. We have a treasonous coward as our President.

I'm a 71 yr old woman. I'm crying! To listen to a leader who is coherent and articulate is foreign as of late. I haven't slept a full night since he came into office. I'm ashamed of the people in the country that are disgusting brainwashed maganuts. My daughter in law & her family are from Montreal. We stand with Canada!! You should impose a 30% counter tariff! America is dying because of that orange nazi & his group of nazi clowns. God bless Canada, Ukraine, Israel & may He save America!!?

I have an idea-instead of Canada becoming the 51st state ( which is such a repulsive idea) Can the US become a province instead? \nWe need a leader like Justin Trudeau! ??

Why canada always have Trudeau can you not have other leader?

Trudeau is an idiot king. This speech from a guy that has been pushing for the legalization of hard drugs across Canada and leaving our borders wide open. He has pissed away Canada’s prosperity on wasteful spending and his climate agenda. This buffoon has zero credibility. He is an actor and puts in a good show. I’ll give him that. Mr tough guy. He is laughable. We need a real leader in Canada.
