When the prime minister asserts that “pragmatism” directs Canada to enter into trade deals and security arrangements with other countries, regardless of their abysmal human rights records, antithetical political ideology, history of infiltration and subversion, and predatory and punitive trade practices, accepting - if not welcoming - into Canada those whose values, beliefs and practices are hostile to our own and thus socially destabilizing is a natural adjunct. Immorality is the defining characteristic of Mark Carney and his government.

More BS from a supposedly neutral balanced media outlet. At least when the CBC have a panel they have one from each party. Here are the facts. The Honourable Lena Metlege Diab is the current Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship. She was appointed to the role in May 2025 by Prime Minister Mark Carney following the April 2025 federal election. Her current activity is defined by a shift toward more restrictive and "talent-focused" policies. Here is the technical breakdown of her recent initiatives: 1. 2026 Express Entry Overhaul On February 18, 2026, Diab announced significant adjustments to the Express Entry system. The primary objective is to transition from broad intake to "sustainable levels" while addressing specific labor gaps. * New Categories: Streams were added for researchers, senior managers, transport occupations (pilots/mechanics), and foreign military personnel recruited by the Canadian Armed Forces. * Medical Priority: A specific category was introduced for foreign medical doctors already possessing Canadian work experience. * Tightened Requirements: She doubled the category-specific work experience requirement from 6 months to 12 months. This move is designed to narrow the candidate pool and prioritize those with deeper integration into the Canadian labor market. 2. Legislative Reform (Bill C-12) Diab is currently championing a major immigration and border security bill (C-12), which is moving through its third reading in the Senate as of February 26, 2026. * Executive Power: The bill grants the Governor in Council (acting on cabinet advice) broad authority to vary, cancel, or suspend immigration documents and applications in the "public interest." * Asylum Restrictions: Diab has been vocal about curbing what she terms "fraudulent" claims. The legislation proposes making anyone who has been in Canada for over a year ineligible to claim asylum, and it restricts claims from those entering via land borders outside official ports of entry. 3. Shift in Strategy The Minister’s rhetoric marks a pivot from previous Liberal administrations. Her current messaging focuses on "taking back control" of immigration levels. While she continues to promote the recruitment of "the best and brightest," she has explicitly stated the government's goal is to reduce the total annual number of both permanent and temporary residents. Summary Table | Focus Area | Recent Action | |---|---| | Express Entry | Increased experience threshold to 12 months; added military/researcher streams. | | Asylum Policy | Supporting Bill C-12 to restrict claims made after 1 year of residency. | | Staffing | Recently appointed Isaac MacDonald (former P.E.I. Liberal executive) as Director of Parliamentary Affairs.

Just a small word here. Khalistan sikh are not Indian Sikh. They are people who are wanted for various crimes even in India. They have criminal records and India has been requesting Canadian government to deport some of these people to undergo trial in India but Trudeau govt under jagmeet Singh did not agree and so you have crimes happening in Canada but the bad name goes to India. As far as this oppression against minority is concerned all sikhs in India are free to do as they wish in their own land. They have a democratically elected leader and sikhs in India are very happy. Others in India love them and respect them a lot so much so that manmohan Singh became the prime minister of India with zero opposition to his leadership. Abdul kalam who is also a muslim became the president of India. This oppression story is fake. That is one of the ways for this khalistan punjabi apply for refugee status inside Canada. It’s a Canadian loophole they misuse and the worst part is even the govt knows that. They just won’t do anything about it.

do Surrey and there immigration and extortion issue! The prime minister of India warned us about all the criminals we’re letting in and now there shooting up stores and restaurants demanding 2 million dollars 😂 Canada sure has changed

Canada has become what it is today thanks in no small part to its former prime minister! Keep it up, Innada is waiting for you!

Why is it that 90% of these people are Punjabi Sikhs? Canada has been supporting Sikh seperatists to fund the cause back in India. Even other Indians dont like this. Youre letting the wrong people in who want Khalistan. Theyre the ones who did the air india bombings, theyre the ones who assassinated an Indian female prime minister. Instead of having other Indian ethnicities, youre choosing a more extreme one who wont integrate fully. Most dont even know English., unlike other Indians.

I just finished my test January 28 2026 19/20. , I got multiple True/False questions as many people. One was about Olympic gold medal winner in 2010 Vancouver was Men's team. True. I remember a question about start of the modern energy industry, it had given timefram and what was the energy . I chose the Oil Alberta 1947 , which was correct. It has I think hydroelectricity Quebec 1980 as another answer closest for choice. Another question I remember True false , it has 3 names Question was are these one of the great inventors of Canada. So I would suggest you take note of Greatest inventors of Canada. There are multiple. Many answers of questions are too easy to eliminate because they don't make sense at all. You are mostly between 2 answers easily. If you just study this video I think you'll surely pass 😅. Another question was ; Who are appointed by on the advice of Prime minister? Answers; Memebers of parliement Mayors Senators Citizens Obviously Senators was the answer but answers might differ, so just study the other applicable answers for the questions.

Just a note on the Khalistanis in Canada. After the Khalistani insurgency in India in the 80s, many Khalistani terrorists moved to Canada after they assassinated the Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The Canadian government has been keeping the movement alive in order to mobilize their community for votes. This has caused many diplomatic fallouts with India lately since terrorists from Canada have been causing a resurgence in the movement in India and no one in India wants to deal with this. So essentially, you can't put the Indians and Khalistanis in the same bucket for this video.

Punjabi people being suppressed in India? 😂 These khalstanis never fail to make me laugh. 😂 First of all India has federal government. There's a central government & state government. Central government allocates budget to State government which politicians from punjab itself(means people from their own community or region) have to use the upliftment of their people. But yet they blame Indian Prime Minister Modi for their problems even though his party is not even in power in punjab. Infact khalstan is the major reason behind downfall of punjab region since they run d. racket in punjab as well as they also help punjabi youth enter countries like canada illegally. Because of that either punjabi youth geta into d adction or they just leave India & the state is just left with old people.

Make the bike guy to run for a prime minister of Canada

If Canada made that guy on the bike Prime Minister instead of whatever fig it is now, Canada would be saved in a few months.

Stay in Canada and run for prime minister

well.. Montreal is in the province of Quebec which is the black sheep of the country... we call it Quebexico!! the governement don't care because we are run by the crrupted liberals and have Mark Carney as the prime minister... Trump please come take Canada we welcome you!

"the country they live in was a shit hole"? Really? So only white Europeans paid their dues to be in Brampton? So they saturate and elect their own politicians eh? Isn't that what Canada has done federally, provincially, and municipally since inception? There is still no black person sitting in the supreme Court of Canada. There has never been a black, Indian, or indigenous prime minister.

Now, we officially declare: the prime minister of Canada - Narendra Modi. I think it's a good idea for Indian people to run Canada instead of European descendents because Indians are not as aggressive as Europeans.

Thanks Trudeau for destroying Canada. I hope everyone remembers your legacy of destroying Canadian culture, Canadian kindness all while stealing more money than any other prime minister combined to date. .

Canada is ruined now. And our new Prime Minister will make it much worse quickly. He already has claimed Canada stands behind 2 states. One created to go to the palastinians. There is no such thing as a palastinian. It is not a land nor a nationality. They are killer muslims raised to hate the jews. I will retire soon, wealthy. I'm moving to the usa because I believe Canada will get worse. I believe the people from India have destroyed Canada as they have destroyed India. I would live with Mexicans ANYDAY over them! We need a Trump clone to get rid of them all. All they have done is made us racist because of how they live and how they treat us. Marc C is not going to do anything but make it way worse.

Why blame India for this issue? An entire ecosystem lures students with false promises of a better life in Canada, charging them exorbitant fees, often around $60,000. Upon arrival, these students find themselves stranded, unable to afford returning home, and forced into low-wage labor. This system begins with the overstaffed Canadian embassy in India, which issues visas, enabling those who profit from this cheap labor in canada. India itself is not responsible. In fact, when Indian authorities raised concerns about criminals exploiting this system to flee to Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau deflected by accusing India in the Nijjar case. White Canadians also share responsibility, as they have not taken the time to understand this issue. Indians who migrated to Canada before 2021 are likely to suffer due to this situation.

I came here 25 years ago from India. While growing up, I would go to the terrace of my home and turn the antenna to get Cbc at night. I watched Air Farce One, the green show, NFB and Cbc and was always fascinated with Canada. I knew then when I was 20 that I will make Canada home. I wrote my IELTS ENGLISH test, studied here with good grades. And I did. I have an amazing career and young kids. And I have loved everyday of it. I have watched rerun of trailer park boys about 10 or so times already, watched Corner gas, watch hockey, I have embraced the weather, the people and the values this nation stands for. I have travelled coast to coast and to the great north. Heck I have been to more places in Canada with my job than other Canadians who are born and raised here. Now all I see there these ignorant, entitled effs thinking they can come and change the way of life. Like how Don Cherry said, they want the milk and honey but won't respect the values. I am effing done with this immigration and the government. Steven Harper was the prime minister when I got my citizenship and it was the proudest moment of my life. I really hope Canadians wake up. I know exactly why the racism has gone up and I don't blame the Canadians at all. These clowns bought it on to themselves. I just had enough and wish things would back to how it was 20 or so years ago.

May I say as a Metis. My family were and are the first people to be described as Canadian and are still acknowledged as the original Canadians. My great Uncles and Aunts fought the British North West Mounted Police at Batoche because the British Colonizers after outlawing fur trade except through the HBC company were further insulted by having their ancestral land sectioned off and given to immigrants. My uncles also were part of the first battle at Seven Oaks when surveyors were surveying and measuring my ancestral cousins land. The British Immigrants were described as the preferred immigrants. TheNorth American Indians, the Metis were described as undesirables and in a memo written to the Indian Affairs Minister during John A MacDonald asking him how best to remove the undesirables Metis from their land. The Metis were not placed on reservations because we never stopped fighting for our homeland rights. What is happening now is a continuation of what happened back when John A MacDonald was Prime Minister. May I also say if these migrates think their customs and regions are so great then stay in your homeland. But unlike the brave Metis who continues to oppose the government and finally 100 years later some our birthrights as the original Canadians have been recognized. My great grandfather and his father were both named Antoine and Charles Henault dit Canada, and to this day from the 1700s some of my cousin’s last name has been Canada since the 1700s. People with Canadian passports don’t make them Canadian. Indians from Indian don’t integrate or intermarry. They impose their culture on the rest of the country. Get rid of them all.

Canada and Canadians first stop are enemies and send them packing now com on prime minister

The biggest problem is they come to our home to escape a hell in their own country. But then they try to turn our country into the one they ran from. They try to change the ways we who were born and raised here are aloud to live our lives as we always have. My first job ever was tim hortons. Now im watching teens unable to gain independence unless their parents i Know someoneone who can hire them meanwhile no one can understand the person taking their order at tim hortons...Canada is to expensive now and we dont have the means to support these people anymore. Its costing us more with what they have done to our economy . Some of these people have zero care for human life ether they drive like A holes and cause accidents that cost lives. Canada is no longer a welcoming happy country. We are exhausted from busting our ass to keep a roof over our head leaving us unable to afford other things even food. Its not that they are all awful people (some are) but we CANT support them anymore we need to be able to support ourselves again !! The last 2 prime ministers are also to blame in reality. As an albertan i dont even care about anyone east of manitoba because they chose to vote this reality to life. I wanna see western canadas money stay on the west end of this country. There is a canadian divide and its time to seperate so not every canadian has to suffer for the stupidity out that way

This is a direct result of the worst Prime Minister Canada has ever seen: Justin Trudeau.

Only till last year Canada's duly elected prime minister was waging war with India on behalf of Khalistanis, now they turn around and are "fed up"... Canadians are like women, they hate accountability...

Good the more immigrants that leave the better it will be for Canada they come here for a better life for safety for this for that they're all set up by the government giving houses cars don't have to worry about nothing it's all provided for them through the taxpayers money well the real Canadians are living out on the streets and eating out of garbage bins I don't have a bed or a roof over their heads due to the immigrants coming into our country then they come into our country in protest terrorist actions destroy our buildings are statues our churches block our streets hospitals shopping malls an etcetera they disrespect our rules and regulations and think they can voice their opinion on everything and get away with it they come here most of them with a green card as a visitor from another land overseas and yes they think they're a real Canadian but never contribute never done nothing for the country but just take from the real Canadians that made the country to what it is today and it's all government doing before they give a house or car or anything that they get the immigrants get if you're standing alongside of one peppermint will give it to the immigrant faster than what they'll give to a real Canadian they're more or less told to sleep on the streets and eat out of garbage bins because he's immigrants deserve nothing but the best in our country we have to show them that they are welcomed no they're not welcome anymore Canadian should come first not somebody that came in on a boat or an airplane from another country and overseas it's a government can't look after their own then they shouldn't be in the government because our prime minister is supposed to be protecting the real Canadians not the ones that are coming in over our borders I wonder if that's ever going to change probably not because they still need these foreigners votes just stay in the position where they're at Canada has become a very undeveloped country now in Canada has been put into a lot of danger due to the terrorism that's in our country from the people that they bought in our country from overseas I mean just look at all the protesting from the palestines and Hamas people what they've done so far to Canada we see it on the news just about every day ask for their rights anyways I can keep going on but it's not worth my time tomorrow is never promised it's just that I know Canada is sinking and sinking fast due to our government and their policies but when it sinks do you think the government's going to stand on board and go down with the ship nope I'll be in another country safe and sound

Long live canada prime minister and you doing right thing at right time ???

From Norway ?? we stand with Canada ??. Very well speech Trudeau, can you come and be our Prime Minister? ?

as if we had nothing else to do than to get involved in other people's business but it is surely the multinationals who make Trudeau react they are afraid of losing their investment. The resigning Prime Minister Trudeau should worry about the real problems and rather than seeking confrontation with other nations they should on the contrary create alliances with Asia rather than with the European Union which is collapsing and which will lead us into their crisis we prefer to accuse others of our bad decisions the world is changing and we watch the train pass once again, it is so easy to find an enemy and put everything on his back ex: what has Russia done to us? nothing at all but for fear of what others will say (the Americans) we have to get them on our backs. War is not going to happen in Canada at all, we are not made for that, besides, looking at our arming is ridiculous, yet we were an extraordinary force for peace (the blue helmets). Our governments are idiots like all the others of our time and if that does not change we will stay on the train platform saying to ourselves that we should have

WOWW Canadas prime minister cares more about us than our own president ?????? I wonder who warned us about this all. Oh wait I know, KAMALA HARRIS.

Lol, what a dummy. Doesn't her know that that doesn't work that way? Sure go ahead and go for it, america accounts for almost 80% of Canada's total goods and service exports ? what makes this even more worse for Canada's prime minister is the fact that they recieve just over 60% of imports from guess who.... the United States. Where as america has the ability to stop all trade to canada all together, be just fine with the reserves we have. While increasing trade import and export with another country we already do business with, making them very happy in the process and still making huge savings in the process. When 80% and 60% of your exports and imports respectively. Consists of literally sharing its only common border with the united states would mean a complete scrap of the total infrastructure since they would hace then compensate through sea and air through the arctic and distances of 10x of what they are used to. Then it starts to make sense as to why trump wants Greenland. Look this it just a bluff by the Canadian prime minister that supposedly resigned not long ago but his tyrant ass don't really wanna leave. Plus, you really think dude can make up for all that loss and go find it through another contry? Hahaha? yeah okay good luck with that. Canada shoukd ne disappointed in the man even more. He's not for you, he's for himself and the best for him and the other lobbyists. ???

Are used to love CNN but I don’t like how this lady is throwing the blame Canada Prime Minister in Mexico Donald Trump is doing this

I am somewhat astounded by many of the comments on here. Have people already forgotten about Trudeau's tyrannical behaviour throughout the 'Convid' years and the attempted destruction of the farming industry through constant bullying. I suspect that Prime Minister Trudeau is merely protecting his own interests and not that of the citizens of Canada.

What a prime Minister, he's A LEGEND STANDING UP TO TRUMPS TARIFS - FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE,\nGOD BLESS CANADA

From India, wish we had a prime minister like Trudeau! One who shows integrity, strength and sensibility. Support & respect to Canada, Ukraine & EU!

Thank you Prime Minister for being a leader as opposed to what we have in America, a divider and felon. I'm sick over the current administration. I'm sorry Canada.

Proud Canadian here! Respect to our prime minister, stand up Canada ??♥️

As an American ??. I agree. Canada, your prime minister is one a hell leader. I can appreciate this message

Canada is not for sale, do not even think ? as Canadian citizen I stand with our prime minister Trudeau

So embarrassed and worried for my country. How on earth 1/2 the population voted for this traitor, felon, maggot AGAIN, i will never understand. He has done so much damage and we will suffer the consequences for years. This speech was brilliant, so happy Prime Minister Trudeau called him donald. Most of us stand with Canada, Mexico, Europe & Ukraine!!!♥♥♥

Australia??here, great speech Prime Minister Trudeau. America has a strong history with its allies UK, Canada, Japan and Australia but these tariffs undermine these relationships and call into question America's trustworthiness going forward. America will become increasingly isolated which plays directly into China's and Russia's interests.

Justin Trudeau is a great prime minister, brilliant leader god bless Canada

Its not the Red Wave of Communism we should be worried about its the Big Red Wave of Trumpism. Hope the Australian Prime Minister steps up in line with Canada ??

As an American, I’m deeply sorry for what we’ve become by electing this orange idiot into the White House. I stand with Canada, Mexico, Ukraine, and the rest of our global allies in opposition to our “president’s” bent to authoritarianism and isolationism. I truly hope that we can course correct before we (globallly) plunge into something much darker. \n\nKudos to prime minister Trudeau and other leaders speaking truth and calling the situation we’re now in for what it is.

Bravo Canada. \nBravo @Prime Minister Trudeau.\nNo place for bullies in a civilised world

British here. Standing with Canada ??. Hats off to Prime Minister Trudeau for showing true leadership and swift Canadian response.

Australia??here, great speech Prime Minister. Stay strong Canada♥️
