Canada's Trudeau stands up to LYING corrupt coward cadet bone spurs POS trump...People Think Trump And Trudeau Just Had Their ‘Love Actually’ Moment
Canadian prime minister’s speech lights up Twitter.
By Ed Mazza
huffingtonpost.com

Love Actually” doesn’t usually see much Twitter activity outside of December, but the beloved Christmas film received numerous mentions on the social network over the weekend.

The reason? Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau defended his country against tariffs put into place by President Donald Trump.

“Canadians, we’re polite, we’re reasonable, but we also will not be pushed around,” Trudeau said as he announced retaliatory tariffs. “I don’t want to hurt American workers. They’re our neighbors. They’re our friends. But my job is to stand up for Canadian workers, Canadian interests, and I will do that without flinching.”

To some, it called to mind Hugh Grant’s impassioned defense of Britain in the film as he stood up to a bullying U.S. president played by Billy Bob Thornton. In the film, Grant’s prime minister spoke as Thornton looked on angrily. In Trudeau’s case, Trump had already left the meeting. But that didn’t stop people from making comparisons.

A YouTuber mixed the scenes together:

And on Twitter, people pointed out the similarities:

This G7 summit kerfuffle between Trump-US and Trudeau-Canada reminds me of the Hugh Grant vs Billy Bob Thornton bristle in Love Actually. So basically, be prepared to "accidentally" see Trudeau when the curtain comes up at the end of some Christmas pageant this year

I'm just saying, if Trudeau did a Hugh Grant Love Actually move right now, he'd win the 2019 election in a landslide

(I cannot guarantee this move is smart in the long term)

The situation between Trudeau and Trump is so reminiscent of this movie, 'Love Actually'! I can't actually believe it happened in real life.

Is it just me, or did @JustinTrudeau today sound like Hugh Grant's character in Love, Actually, dressing down Billy Bob Thornton as the POTUS?
