that english in the background just needs to be muted omg. when you speak both languages and you hear them both it's wild frustrating.

[TheYacu]

Damn. I really wanted to listen to this.
French is my third language, English my second. I'd be fine with listening to it in either language. However. Listening to French while a semi-audible English translation is running in the background is just too confusing. Good job, CBC. >:-(

[phtevlin]

Suggestion. Use English subtitles. Lose the too loud English voice translation. I am capable of reading. I want to hear--without obstruction--what the PM has to say.

Omg just choose one language. It’s very frustrating having both at the same time

This comment section says a lot about the type of people that have hatred towards Trudeau.

When I hear French, I feels like delicious baguette

[sandywilson]

Lots of haters in the comments, just as bad as the yanks .

[lolagpk]

Un grand bravo au premier ministre du Canada pour ce beau discours

[donsarde]

Why is he so unlike by his people ? Such rude comments !

[pariss]

It is appalling how Canadians here do not hold themselves back from ridiculing their leader while a foreign country has invited him to come and speak before their legislative body.

بفضلكم وبالسياسة الحكيمة الراقية الحضارية الإجتماعية ترقت دولة كندا وشعبها المحترم إلى الأفضل،حفظكم الله.

Hey, France, listen up. I've never asked you for anything before. But please, for the love of God, keep Trudeau.

[cungcung]

I always want to learn French. It's a beautiful language. But it's so difficult to learn hahahaha

[freemanc]

i'am well versed in English, my second language and studying French. I know that's how sim-interpretation works but it would be better if the English translation is provided seperately, at least on youtube..

[firhamghoshali]

A non-Canadian here. A Serious question about the negative Trudeau statements in the comment section. What exactly had he done or maybe not done which is bad for Canada ?

[ohwiseone]

Amazing how Turdeau can speak while saying nothing at all

[aminm]

La voix qui traduit en anglais est chiante . Ils auraient pas pu mettre des sous titres tapés en bas de l’écran ?

[sandywilson]

Good to hear this Canadian prime minister be the first to address the French National Assembly , makes me feel proud .

[tofubeareattofu]

My question is do the French think his accent is weird or no? I am not a french speaker

Merci Beaucoup pour le parole par Monsieur Premier Ministre du Canada.
