I have loved your channel for a while now, but i really do not like how you allowed the racist man in the safety vest to be in this video. I recognize Canada has huge problems with excess immigration and we can't meet the demands we are insinuating we can meet to potential immigrants. I also recognize that there is a a huge problem with Indian students being lured here under false pretences and this issue needs to be exposed. However, I don't think you should have given an openly racist person a platform to share their views and you laughed when they said obviously racist things. He said "I'm as racist as the next person" and you laughed. Sorry but what?! He is normalizing his racism and you are playing along. Just pick a different person to interview. He said "better indians than muslims, africans, etc....." Canada hasn't been around that long relative to other places. This guy came from immigrants like 1-2 generations ago. You probably got a lot of footage to choose from. Why him?

People who don't want to talk to us, understand us, do business with us, rent to us. but the same people want us to assimilate, Convert, stop talking to each other and stop doing any business and pay better taxes to contribute better. Sorry to say, we love white people. I myself had to spend 5 years, put in efforts to make white friends, chinese, japanese, arab, black friends (in order to learn canadian culture and try to adjust myself in it, without compromising extremely on my spiritual beliefs and positive aspects of my culture). quite a few are very good friends and discuss my problems and share theirs while others behave like they are somehow supreme than me... 6.5 years in Canada, worked hard to assimilate and now, Federal Government backstabbed me for PR along with a minimum wage paying, but expecting $30 results employer (white-canadians)... So, I guess, people who are not trusting them knew something that I didn't... I never worked cash never tried to misrepresent myself to IRCC and this is what I am made feel... while 100s of people did cash jobs, saved money and today are getting PRs... still I am trying my best to stay legally, without exploiting loopholes... but, I feel scammed by the canadian dream.

I am sorry you guys are going through this. If i was Canadian going through all this, I would be upset. Canadian government should make decisions that best benefits it's people. I love Canada from my first visit as a child. Canada was different then from what you are describing today. So sorry immigrants are destroying your country. Im saddened by this

Sorry Canada, Don't listen to Trump. We love you.

I wish I could say that America wasn’t responsible for the Tariffs, but unfortunately over half of my idiotic, hateful countrymen voted the psychopath into office, namely Trump. I am sorry though. Canada is a beautiful nation with lovely people.

We love you Canada and I am deeply sorry for our criminal of a president. He will lead to our ruin.

I’m an American… I’m so sorry, Canada. I love your country as well as ours. I don’t want this at all.

We Love You Canada! We do Not support these Tariffs we grieve with you! I'm so very sorry! God Bless you <3

I'm ashamed to say that our president is an absolute traitor to our allies and to its people. Somehow his cult followers were able to get him back into office instead of prison. Now all of us are having to suffer please do not lose faith we will figure out a way to get rid of the Trump regime once and for all as well as Elon Musk were so sorry about what they've done there will be payback for them for many levels just know that the United States people love Canada always have always will one of our greatest allies and our good neighbor. Sorry about Donald Trump he's a prick

As an American I love you Canada. I am so so sorry for our evil president, I did NOT vote him in!

SO SORRY CANADA ??????? LOVE YOU❤

As an American, First, I am embarrassed by our petulant child of a President who has NO IDEA what he is doing. Canada…despite what you hear, we love you. Our incompetent government is our biggest problem and I am truly sorry for The Worst President we have ever had and his idiocy toward you. He’s our National Embarrassment. Canada we love you. ❤ I truly wish Trudeau was our President! A true pro with class and decorum.

I'm SO VERY SORRY all this is happening! Canada, we send you our love! Right now, our government absolutely sucks! Many of us DO NOT like or support what's going on!

Canada, we love you and I am truly sorry for our garbage administration.

I grew up in Detroit on the American side of the Detroit River. Have always loved Canada and Canadians...who have always been kind and wonderful neighbors...sorry about this.

I As an American citizen can only hope that we would have a president in office with the intelligence, compassion and dignity that PM Trudeau has. At this time I am truly ashamed of my country. Especially the ones that put this hateful, revenge seeking, criminal monster in our White House. I stand with you 100% Canada. I also hope that maybe within the next year, trump will be gone. I don't know how or where but just gone. As intelligent as prime minister Trudeau is I have to disagree with one comment he made. trump is NOT a smart man. He is nothing but a 34 count convicted felon, rapist and criminal wannabe dictator. I shudder at the thought of the end of his four year disaster. What will our country do when we have no allies whatsoever. He loves russia and putin, His puppet master. He does not understand that Russia has never been our friend, is not our friend. And never will be our friend. He just loves putin because He wants to be just like him. He is the United States very own Adolf Hitler. Also , I have removed our flag from my front yard that I so proudly displayed my entire life. It will be raised again but only after this nightmare called trump is gone! Please accept the apology from millions of Americans that stand with you. We are truly sorry and we are suffering with you. God help us. And God Bless Canada ❤

I’m sorry Canada for my deranged government. Please don’t think they reflect all Americans. Most of us are terrified right now and hate this situation we’re in. And most of us love Canada as our neighbor and friend

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.

Thank You Prime Minister Trudeau!\nWe Love Canada!\nWe are So Sorry that the criminal in the White House has brought us to this moment with our neighbors!\nMerci Beaucoup Prime Minister! \nOur hearts are broken!\n???

As an American, I am so sorry Canada for this mess. Please know a majority of us are suffering and never wanted this nor voted for it. I love you Canada and stand with you.

We love you Canada and support you you!!! ❤❤ we’re soooo sorry we have insane people running our government now!!! I voted for Kamala and am just as disappointed in our country as you guys ? stay strong and classy and do what you gotta do !!! It’s suxxx tht we’re in the crossfire though ??

Canada, you are very good friend of us. Sorry for our president.Please, stay strong! We love you! We want our elected officials investigate treason of the current president of US

We love you Canada , I am sorry for what we , the USA , is doing ! PLEASE forgive us .

I live in the USA. I believe this is what needs to happen in order to show Trump just how terrible he is at his job. He is ruining our country. We love you, Canada. We are so sorry that the majority voted this buffoon into our government. It's embarrassing and it's scary.

Canada ?? we are sorry about our dumb president. we are with you, i would love to live there. union member and home owner. proud father, husband, and american would like to say, my prayers and thoughts are with you at this time….

First: sorry for my bad english. It is not my First language. \n\nThis speech was remarkable. No lies, no BS, just the facts. Wish we would here the same out of the White House. \n\nAs a german who knows about german history and how everything started back then I'm terrified how fast the United States of America are moving towards a dictatorship.\n\nEvery politician around the free world should be worried about what is going to happen if DT keeps doing what he is doing, which is undermining every treaty and contract the US is having with the rest of the world.\n\nAnd on a personal note: as a child I always dreamed of someday moving to the USA. After beeing there on holiday in 2017 and also driving to Canada to visit some friends, that dream changed.\n\nDon't get me wrong, I still love your country, but you elected the worst President for the second time! WHY??? You could have known what it would be like, everything was reported on by this network and many others.\n\nAs one commentator said: this is not going to end well. And I and most of Europe and the rest of the world are thinking the same and we are afraid of the things to come.

I am truly sorry with all that is happening in America.!!! I love Canada who always stood with the United States and now this is what is happening.!!! I support Canada.!!! Never voted for this government. But now, we are paying the price because of those who put this administration in the White House.!!!???

Im so sorry Canada ,?\nMost of us do not agree with this admin....they are a disgrace to our country \ndoing evil to our democracy....we love Canada ????

Sad American here... You go, Trudeau! I'm with you and Canada! Also love that you called Donald out directly! Trudeau, you are a true leader! Hot stuff! America is totally fucked. I'm so sorry, Canada.

I am an AMERICAN. I did not vote for that MONSTER! So Sorry for us all. I have always loved Canada. I have Canadian relatives

So embarrassed to be an American right now. Especially one who hails from North Dakota. We love Canada! Many of us are SO sorry about this orange Cheeto in charge. ❤ As a country, we need to impeach this a$$hole.

I'm an American. I'm so sorry for the shameful actions of Trump. So many Americans have nothing but love for our friends in Canada. I voted against this. I'm heartbroken. ?

I’m American and I love Canada, he is not our president, he is a terrorist and a dictator. I’m so sorry Canada. The American people are under attack and our allies are at risk too. I pray for the freedom of all people and I’m sorry.

We are so sorry! So many of us Americans do not stand with DT. It hurts me so when I hear those words, “America has done” this or that. It’s not us, it’s HIM and his sugar daddy EM. I did not vote for him. He is a shameless liar and more, and I cannot believe this is our reality. Disgusting! \nSending love to Canada ☹️

I’m a US citizen and I so sorry that the Trump Administration has chosen to do this to Canada. Trump is a lunatic and is surrounded by evil people who support his wild decisions that hurt other countries and US citizens. Canada is a fantastic country and have always been our closest friends and best ally.?. I would love to move to Canada where sane people live!! Again, I apologize.

A lot of we Americans are so sorry and sad. I love you, Canada ??You are what a great country looks like❤

As an American, I do not want this either! I did not vote for this and I am feeling very helpless. I am a NEVER TRUMPER. Trump is a bully and a narcissist and I don’t think there is any reasoning with this man. You have to stroke his ego and I wouldn’t blame you for not playing games with our impetuous childish President. Additionally, many are stuck in the illusory effect better know as the big lie effect. If you tell a lie often enough it becomes “true”. Narcissists are dangerous people especially when they are given power. We love you Canada?? I am so incredibly sorry.

I’m sorry Canada, most of us didn’t vote for this evil government. We love you.

Love you Canada! So sorry our Dictator in Chief is the way he is. Couldn't be prouder of a country that isn't mine. As for my country... I'm very ashamed. I didn't vote for him and I'm so upset he got elected.

Canada, I and the majority of Americans stand with you in this. We abhor Donald Trump. We are protesting. We are pressuring our leaders to stop this nonsense. We will purchase Canadian goods whenever possible to support your econony over our own. We will do more if it is required. It has been a long time since the American left has had to rise and fight... but we will fight. \n\nI am sorry... so very, very sorry... for what the ignorant minority who elected Trump has done to you and to my own country. The good news is, it will not last forever. We - the educated, empathetic, democracy loving Americans, raised on the stories of past heroes who stood up against corrupt governments - we will make sure this ends. The sooner, the better. Stay strong. We're fighting for you too.

Sorry as a American this is our life's at risk .keep your proud stance.proud stance for Canada.We are in tears losing our great country to criminals God Bless Canada we our scared stressed for our social security, health care and our anger at the thugs taking away our relationship our fear to keep breathing and enjoy our past relationships Thankyou for your love to all people God is good God help us !???????? Jim

This is what a leader, a real leader…intelligent and savvy…looks like. When Trump looks into the mirror, this is not what is reflected back. The reflection looks like a four year old child, crying because Daddy doesn’t love him. It’s sad but we will be paying dearly for a child’s temper tantrum and very disturbing behaviors. Wake up United States, Congress, Republicans and Democrats, the entire News Media, and uninformed voters. This country, our country is at risk of going the way of all fallen dynasties…into oblivion. God help us all. Sorry dear Canada, so sorry.

Just to be clear…. Most Americans DO NOT WANT THIS! We love you Canada, we do NOT trust Trump! we are embarrassed, ashamed and humiliated. We are so sorry!

Canada...\nI am so, so sorry. I am humiliated, horrified, appalled, embarrassed, furious, and so so sad. Please know it isn't all of us. I am a Detroiter who has spent half her life in Ontario and Quebec. I will continue to buy Canadian products and will spend as much of my American money in Canada as I possibly can. I support Canada and encourage you to do whatever it is you need to do. I love you, Canada!

We are Americans. We love Canada ?? and Justin Trudeau. We are sorry this ?maniac is ruining our country. We do NOT want him!!! We are very sorry he is doing this to both our countries. Please don’t hate those of us who did NOT vote for this felon.

I love you Canada. I am so sorry. I’m so ashamed.

Lovely speech! What is happening is horrible, absolutely no justification for our administration to do this. I'm sorry Canada ?

We hate this too Trudeau ? we are so sorry for our president, just know there are still people that love Canada ??

We love you Canada we're sorry about Trump he's a piece of s*** and most of us are against him we think that Elan paid for Trump to be able to win

I am an American, I and my husband are sickened about what our President has done. WE love love Canada. Sorry So Sorry.
