He just slandered the President of Russia. Not polite and not true! Embarrassment to Canada. What about the Midon Coup in Ukraine in 2014, Western aggression. Ukraine committing Genocide for 8 years on Ukrainians in E Ukraine that speak Russian. Putin had to intervene as negotiations weren't doing anything.

Never had more respect for the Canadian Prime Minister. I'm elated there's a man in politics, not just any man, but a leading figure , who has the guts to speak frankly! Everyone needs to do this, Trump is siding with a vile dictatorship, he's made a bed with Putin - it's clear as day and it's also clear as day that his government is not a government for the people, but for the nepo-billionaires that it's now made up of. Similar to how the Russian government is made up of oligarchs. Democracy can never be taken for granted, it's something we need to fight for!

Proud of our Canadian leadership ?Trump and his administration are trying to destabilize North America. Their end-game is authoritarianism on the model of Russia itself. Apparently Putin never speaks about Canada, just as he never used to utter the name of Navalny... Curious...

you should speak to holder putin, not with his little yellow biting dog in the white house! ;-))

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OUR NATION IS UNDER ATTACK. TRUMP AND HIS CULT OF RIGHT WING REPUBLICAN EXTREMISTS ARE DISMANTLING OUR CONSTITUTION THE ONE THAT WAS ENACTED BY OUR FOUNDING FATHERS. THEY ARE ERASING OUR HUMAN RIGHTS AND OUR FREEDOMS AS WE SPEAK. JUST YESTERDAY THE GREENPEACE ORGANIZATION WAS SUED FOR 300 MILLION DOLLARS FOR DEFENDING OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO A PEACEFUL PROTEST. THE STOCK MARKET HAS BEEN PLUMMETING, PLUMMETTING, IN RESPONSE TO THE NEW TARIFFS ON OUR CLOSEST TRADING PARTNERS. SOON THERE WILL BE MILLIONS OF AMERICANS LEFT WITHOUT HEALTHCARE COVERAGE, MILLIONS!!!!! MILLIONS OF CHILDREN AND MILLIONS OF SENIORS LEFT TO DIE!!!!!! DONALD TRUMP HAS FORMED A PACT WITH THE COMMUNIST RUSSIAN DICTATOR VLADIMIR PUTIN AND HIS MISSION IS TO OVERSEE THE DESTRUCTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. WE MUST MOVE QUICKLY TO IMPEACH AND REMOVE THE SATANIC THE FATHER OF ALL LIES FROM THE WHITE HOUSE BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.

Speak directly, no. Speak through the tv. So, talking in fact not to trump but to us!!!! Trudeau... Liar even before he starts talking!!!!! Macron trudeau starmer. Dangerous manipulators. They don t have cards. They have their own mafia agenda possibly. Fight the marco. Trudeau. Bad person or not? Trump is no more putin allied than macron et those..... Sure. Putin is the king. And grump just tries to save what he can

As if the ukrainian president speaks to the russian …… unfortunately Putin chose to use tanks instead of tariffs.

I miss leaders who can read, use a mature vocabulary, pronounce words correctly, speak clearly in complete sentences and thoughts and without lying in every sentence. He’s a man who knows what he is doing, making clear decisions which benefit his countrymen. Unlike the Felon-in-Chief who is bulldozing all our relationships with allies and, instead, siding with our greatest enemy, Putin.

Trump (Comrade Krasnov) is not American and does not speak for America. He’s a traitor. And in the pocket of Putin.\n\nI stand with Canada.

Trump is still telling the same lies. He rambles on and on and speaks nonsensical words. He is friends with Putin , he wants to make the USA his personal monopoly game. He threatens republican congressmen with harm and even death so he can control them. He is mentally unstable and ready to be committed in a mental facility. What will it take to get our congressmen to stand up for the good hardworking people of the USA instead of for a man who is hell bent on making the usa his oersonsl dictatorship.

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. .

Putin's dream: Destabilize the close relationship of the US. border countries. What better first step to weaken their enemy? Putin is so much smarter than DJT. BTW, he called him Donald as speaking to an equal. Treudeau and Trump are equals.

Everyone trynna make Putin look like the bad guy, if you really look into the reason Russia invaded Ukraine u will understand look at Robert f Kennedy video he speaks the truth, Ukraine was killing Russian speaking people from Ukraine because they banned that language he invaded for many different reasons but you people don’t do your research u guys are blindsided lol

I’m so glad, someone is speaking up, because America ?? is scary as hell! A bunch of followers, Trump been playing us since the first election ?️ it’s always been about Putin! ??‍♀️

The Canadian leader is speaking to the American people out of concern. Look at what a whole lot of uninformed folks have done. Once you hear this you will understand the hell we will wake up to. Tariffs to America by China, Mexico, Canada. Making us isolationist joining hand with Putin. Oh my God

If you want to get through to Trump speak to Vladimir Putin.

Listen to the Prime Minister speaking 2 languages. trump can't even speak one past a grade 3 level. trump wants this in order to weaken all democracies in order for putin to take over the world. Why aren't we doing something people? Are we really going to let the hateful racists who voted for the presidunce win? I pray not.

So nice to hear a national leader speak so eloquently and coherently. He did not use any bullying or condescending words. Standing for Canada and loving America. Trump is for Putin instead of America's friends. This is really sad. Wake up America! What has happened to us?

Thanks to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's leadership, speaking clearly in whole sentences, calling out DJT lies, untruths & fallacies while outlining & correcting w' facts & truths... DJT utilizes deceptiveness to gaslight Americans increasingly less effectively... More Americans are opening their eyes & ears... unfortunately some not... Hopefully soon.\n>> Trudeau calls out Trump aligning America w. PUTIN--Russia, a Dictator, thug & murderer, and displacing historical allies & friends..\n>> Fentanyl is manufactured in China; shipped in bulk to Mexican Cartels, etc, to prep for the American Markets--Why hasn't Trump stopped it now he's in charge of the borders. \nRECALL SYCOPHANTS from Congress--Replace w' patriots to impeach Trump-Vance & prosecute them w/ Musk, DOGE & all who are violating our laws accessing & deconstructing our Govt.

I just moved from my California home state for the second, but just to let you know Canada i'm with you!! This trade war with these countries, are ridiculous but only to line, and continue to line the pockets of billionaires like Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and the tech family..... Trump has tried to stay close to Putin, but no one asks why?? We're not at war with Russia? He's been wanting the wealth Putn has every since he, and his wife visited in 1983.. He loves their minerals, and i ask President Zenlensky, if he signs that mineral agreement be careful how it's worded!!! J D Vance had know right to speak to Zelensky in that manner!! Trump, needed an education in government before he ran for any office, it's laws, etc... he's embarrassing when he speaks, calling other government officers stupid, and the like, like a child in school!! Why doesn't someone fact check Donald Trump vs Joe Biden with the things he's done vs the things Donald did while in office, as Biden knowing the law vs Trump as what he could do as a US President, not running this country like he runs his business!! I'm Georgia now, and still wouldn't voted for that man....!!!

Great speak Trudeau and I as an American support Canada not the Putin loving, disgraceful Trump.

We need the help from our friends to speak the Truth, clear and loud. Thank you PM Trudeau. The only winner here is Putin. He gets to pit our Allies against us while destroying Russa's biggest adversary (or we were). This is insane, idiotic and hopefully my fellow Americans will wake up and turn this around before it takes hold. Congress needs to do their job and stop the Executive Orders we are not an authoritarian nation (yet). Stand with Mexico, Canada, Ukrain and the rest of the Free Democratic world.

I'm really impress of what Trudeau speak as Trump from what I see he is in Putin's policy right now I can see that in the future Democracy world have to fight hard for Democracy worldwide

I am so proud of Canadians and their leaders. The kindest most civilized people on this planet and certainly don’t deserve any of this.That is how a leader speaks. Trump is selling America out to Putin and with his stupid tariffs will destroy American economy. Trump and his stooges and sycophants must be defeated in the most convincing manner before America will return to normal. Horrific times

So following Trumps Logic, he wants to be like Putin, and get america to embrace that along with Russia. To do so, he is picking firghts with all of america's allies and then using their responsses to demonise them to get USA to embrace Russia, aka, bring down americas walls - so to speak and embrace dictators. So America, we stand up, or find ourselves in the company of dictators and subject to their whims. Again, Trump is selling Russia to us by stabbing our allies in the back demonising their obvious responses. When only 1 man is responsible for this, it's not a democracy

I did not vote for the racist rapist felon running our country. The United States is no longer a democracy. He has made it a Dictatorship. Nobody wants this but him.\nIMPEACH IMMEDIATELY \nIMPEACH IMMEDIATELY \nIMPEACH IMMEDIATELY\n\nthe felon running the U.S. does not speak for me. This is unfair to the residents of the U.S. \nNobody wants this but Donny Dum Dum.\nIMPEACH \nIMPEACH \nIMPEACH \nIMPEACH\n\nWORST PRESIDENT EVER\nWORST PRESIDENT EVER \nWORST PRESIDENT EVER \n\nGIVE US AMERICA BACK \nGIVE US AMERICA BACK \nGIVE US AMERICA BACK \n\nIT'S NOT ALL ABOUT YOU DONALD. SHUT YOUR F'n PIE HOLE\nDONALD GO LIVE WITH PUTIN. LEAVE US ALONE!!!!

I’m so ashamed of our country. This is going to cause global economy collapse. This is going to hurt everyone, and country, and corporations. Trump knows what he’s doing. He’s working with Putin to cause this- global plutocracy. Thank you for speaking truth to power. Maybe now, it will sink in to people. We pay, not ??. They are force to put tariffs on their goods, who do you think pays? This is ?, peanut butter, Aluminum foil, etc. I suggest start stocking up. In about two weeks increased prices will hit the shelves.

That is way that a true leader speaks, not like the stupid , ignorant, and Putin Ass Kisser that we have now for president!

I can't make sense of the way that Trump and his lapdogs are acting. Trump is not my president and he doesn't speak for me. This is going to kill our friendships and Trump would rather be friends with Putin than Canada and Ukraine. I am so ashamed of these actions. Please Canada stop buying all American products and double the taxes. Don't put 25 percent put 50 percent on any of our products. Make Trump pay for his stupidity.

❤ Canada. We, the sane, non-MAGAt Americans, also do not want this, nor did we vote for this because we did NOT vote for an obviously mentally ill, functionally illiterate, elderly man with signs of dementia, whose main function besides destroying our country to enrich himself & all of his millionaire & billionaire buddies, is acting as a useful idiot pain for Putin. We, the Americans who value what our country has stood for, whose fathers & and grandfathers fought in both World Wars, who lived in the time before all of the current vaccines existed, who believe in equality, who value the immigrants--documented or undocumented, who believe our country should welcome them & make their paths to citizenship easier because we understand how our country & economy benefit from them living in this country, who understand & value the roles that the WHO, NATO, & the United Nations have played in keeping us ALL safer for many decades bc we REMEMBER or were told by our parents, what it was like b4 those things existed, who either lived thru The Great Depression or had parents & grandparents did, understand what the economic crisis that Trump & his band of greedy ahole idiots are deliberately causing. WE didn't do this. WE fought against it. We tried to explain & warn people about what is happening & what will happen, but you didn't EFFING LISTEN. WE are ANGRY. WE will NOT help any of you who caused this & this includes every MSM who is too afraid to speak truth to power. Start doing that NOW. Start with THIS: It's called The Gulf of Mexico, NOT the Gulf of America. Eff every Trump supporters & GOP politician--at EVERY level of government. Trump can TRY to hide what he's doing to the economy in his stupid reports. Do you honestly believe the average American pays attention to those? No, most are too busy worrying over how to pay their bills & all they'll see is that their situation is getting worse. They can't find a job. They can't afford gas. They can't afford groceries. You can't cover any of that up. WE stand with Canada, Ukraine, the EU, & every other ally nation. Not Russia. Putin can go straight to hell & the sooner the better.

It’s most of the world, and sensible Americans who employ common sense and logic vs tRump and his neofascist agenda. In professional wrestling terms, the U.S. has turned “heel,” but the now occupant of the White House, who should’ve never returned, always has been one. I don’t understand his appeal, and why so many Americans have been sucked into his orbit.\nI don’t want this, many tRump voters don’t want this. This’ll adversely affect the world, and will do nothing to reduce the nearly $2 trillion deficit. tRump’s tax cuts for the wealthy, and fElon Musk’s austerity measures will, and already are raising unemployment, and will further increase the divide between the wealthiest and most marginalized among us.\nThe U.S. siding with Russia, the two countries having the biggest nuclear stockpiles, is a threat to the world.\nIf WW3 starts, it won’t be because Zelenskyy won’t act to end a war in which his country was unnecessarily invaded, it’ll be because of Russia’s invasion of it, and the U.S. turning its back on its now former allies.\nThose of us in the states who oppose tRump and his alliance with Putin need to continue to stand up, speak out, and perhaps even do more. We’ve never seen anything like this before. Hate to say it, but this could very well be the beginning of the end of what was once a great nation. I’ll end this with a quote from FDR.\n“The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.”

He speaks about Putin being a liar, murderous, dictator. He should have a good look in the mirror. Trudeau has been a dictator for the last 9 years in Canada, killing our very own people with his drug laws, taxing people into poverty, destroying our healthcare system, I could go on and on and on. Trudeau and all his liberal cronies should be put in jail for the crimes against canada..

I do not understand how a country with a 250 year old democracy can stand by and let this Cheeto chewing prick ruin the lives of both Americans and Canadaians ??? Why are we not hearing from any senators or other goverment officials speaking out against this rediculously deluded individual?? This guy is choosing RUSSIA...RUSSIA!! and siding with Putin over his closest allies and the American people and no one is saying word one about it. HOW IS THIS HAPPENING?

Canadá is my favorite neighbor and I hope that this Republican caused ass kissing of Putin gets resolved soon! What our leaders have done to our great neighbors is sickening ! This is all done to make the Rich Richer and to Hell with those in need!\n Not One Republican will speak up! Then the sad,sad thing they did to a country lastly looking for help against Putin!\n They submarines him in a setup, all preset, and this man more of a man Than any Republican will ever be VOLADAMER ZELENSKY HE IS A REAL HERO Trump has to go!

This isn't about fentanyl or the borders it's about Trumps desire to make money off tariffs so he can pay for tax cuts to his billionaire ass kissers while the first lady Musk is stealing money from government offices. Trump is not a smart man. Recently he said this was a bad agreement and who the hell signed this speaking about the last trade agreement with Canada and Mexico. Well it was you Dumb Donald. Nothing more than a child bully.\n This idiot thinks Zelensky is a dictator but refuses to call Putin a dictator WTF . He says Ukraine started the war, what a retarded scumbag. Good luck the next 4 years UST, United States of Trump.

?Well done trump. Speak up as to why yous pushed Putin in to Ukraine. NATO moving closer and closer.Expoain that you freak.Trump,Putin better than these evil manipulators. Yous want war not peace as you all sit in background sending young innocent lives to slaughter in Ukraine. TRUMP,TRUMP,TRUMP??⭐️Live him

Speaking as a Canadian , there will be a HUGE EXODUS of Snow birds returning to our home and native land . I have already seen some of my family and friends post FOR SALE signs on their winter vacation homes. We refuse to spend our money in a country that wants to hold us hostage and unprovoked attack us . We as Canadians are NICE ... until we aren't ! WE DO NOT SLEEP WITH OUR ENEMIES ( PUTIN)

The tariffs make sense from the position of trump being an ally with putin. trump is punishing countries that have supported Ukraine, thinking that if he weakens these countries with tarrifs, these same countries will turn inward and discontinue their support of Ukraine. I wonder how much putin has offered to pay trump if trump can strong arm Ukraine into ending the war, leaving russia with land stolen from Ukraine. Something stinks of corruption here.\nThank you for speaking from a place of power and truth Prime Minister Trudeau.

Trump is Russia asset. This is what putin want his orange puppet to do. To destroy the us and its allies. Looks like this traitor doing a damn good job as we speak

Very strong and superb speech of Trudeau. Speaking like a true leader not like trump, who speaks like a person who is going through mental disorder and a puppet of Elon, who unfortunately holds a Canadian citizenship. Trump,Elon and Vance are the new Hitler working putin

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.

???. Did Trudope just label Putin exactly what he is, a murderous dictator? ???\nTalk about blind stupidity….Remember the emergencies Act? The court has found that to be the largest violation of rights in Canada in decades\nTrudeau shouldn’t even be speaking seeing he has been voted out by his own party, is facing criminal charges (that will never happen) and is a predator (West Point Grey incident). Liberalism is a mental illness that convinces the patient they are living in the imaginary world of unicorn and rainbows, not reality

Thank you all in the comments for supporting Canada (and Ukraine). You are speaking up for the truth and for all our countries as partners and speaking out against the tyranny that is DJT and Putin. \nTogether we will prevail as friends and neighbours.

This is how a true leader speaks,he is not threatening,he is not lying to his people and he is kissing up to dictator Putin

Hello Canada, \nThe Netherlands here (well, one citizen thereof). We love Canada; I speak for all the citizens hereof. Your troops liberated us at the end of WWII. We have not forgotten that. Now, we in Europe are facing Hitlers shadow, in Putin. Join us. Apply to become a member of the EU.

Thank you for not consorting with communist pigs like chump Canada a democratic country should never allied with any communist or dictator or terrorist putin is all of those hes not an elected leader hes a dictator he took control of russia kills anyone who speaks against him you praising him alone with nazis is sick and un American its so scary that america is happy to work with the free world’s greatest enemy….

He should speak to Putin as Trump is an employee of Putin and does what he says. Or maybe Satan because Satan also employs him

Satanic Evil Trump not a republican he stole this party like he stole the election you know that he's a convicted felon , he's a child molester with Jeffrey Epstein , the man that love grabbing women by the p---- , cult leader using religious to get these corrupted religious mega follower's to back him up and Putin's little puppet , humiliating and degrading our friend from Ukraine this list goes on with this American Traitor no more talking take our business to Europe . The America Justice system and Politicians represent the people, who make decisions have turn their backs on us and even their own people in the USA push to have Elon Musk Canadian birth right remove from our great country Canada . Elon not worthy to be even call a Canadian . Oh no we can't forget dear old JD Vance who speaks against gay right and he worn little girl clothes in high school and still today wear makeup around his eyes. And the mega Christian followers , call them leaders sent by God they better start reading their holy bible cause it all written in the holy book..

He is 100% correct.\nIt is only because crazy man Trump has come out with his ridiculous theories. \nIf all leaders stop speaking to him we can shut Trump up.\nHe may go to Putin but he will not last long with Putin.\nAlso Republican Congress may find some spine and rid the USA of this evil.

As a Filipino watching the economy of USA from afar, I think that no other politician has shown significant concern to help its economy except for Trump. He's pretty bold and not scared to voice out issues that make the democrats uncomfortable. It is not for me to decide who others will vote. However, I see a leader in Trump and he's not afraid to fight back. It's only a matter of time for the Chinese to create its own microchips that are of novelty and prestige. Their economy is of course stagnant as of the moment because many foreign companies pulled out from China. Nevertheless, do you think it's going to be forever? They will cope and soon establish theirs given their population and government financial backing. Trump was right to put trade war against them to regulate foreign trade as it did with Japan. All countries will suffer when the dollar loses the international prestige. It is fastly losing it's international reputation as of these days. If this won't halt, imagine a future where the Chinese RMB will be the basis of international trade. You don't know the real plan of the Silk Road guys. Americans are conquerors and we have adjusted with their ways already. And, the Chinese are conquerors as well. Their goal is to really surpass the USA. The rise of China has benefited every ASEAN member, but greatly the former than the latter. We can adjust with their ways. However, America and Europe may not be that ready to adjust their ways for them should they surpass USA. The USA has become complacent and too liberal where individual rights, although important, have gone too far-fetched. This has created entitled individuals who think they own the world. Now, look at the Chinese. While most young Americans are busy dancing in TikTok and the likes of wasting time for entertainment, most young Chinese are studying hard and upskilling. Let's remember that America became great because of its inventions and extremely the nuclear power. Without great minds, minds that are feebled by drugs and misguided philosophies, a society will crumble. USA can use its weapons and influences against other countries, but can it hold the progress of it's rival economy for the rest of the years? You guys need a leader who is competitive and won't back down from a fight. As of these days, given only two political candidates to choose for presidency, I dare say that Trump has a higher bidding for the goodness of USA. Of course he wasn't able to accomplish his plan before after you guys impeached him. How the hell can a leader complete its plan after being halted unprecedentedly amid his administration? Kamala Harris looks promising but not convincing. Aura, although unquantifiable, do speak something. Choose your leader and it will choose your fate. Let's hear what the two sides will share this upcoming debate. If I'm American, whoever wins that debate, wins my heart. As easy as that. You see, if someone can be defeated so easily in his or her country through debate, do you think that whoever that someone who wins will be able to compete globally? Think of the likes of Putin and Xi Jinping. Think of a leader who can communicate with them effectively. That's all for me. Thank you
