The Liberals are brilliant thieves. They’ve managed to pull off over a decade of self-funded corruption. They use taxpayer money to buy media, influence institutions, and protect themselves from accountability. Canadians are literally paying for their own political manipulation. Liberals = the most corrupt government in Canadian history (33 listed below and counting): Green Slush Fund (SDTC) – $1B+ in questionable clean-tech grants SNC-Lavalin Affair – Political interference in criminal prosecution ArriveCAN App – ~$60M for a basic travel app WE Charity Scandal – ~$912M contract to connected insiders Phoenix Pay System – $3.5B+ and still failing McKinsey Consulting Contracts – $500M+ outsourced policy work Foreign Interference Scandal – Intelligence warnings ignored Organized Crime & B.C. Money Laundering – Triad-linked casino and real estate laundering Fentanyl & Opioid Crisis – Border failures and weak enforcement Aga Khan Vacation Ethics Breach – Illegal luxury trip Randy Boissonnault Scandal – Business ties and lobbying questions Investing in Canada Plan – ~$92B in poorly tracked infrastructure spending PMO / Telford Staff Scandals – Obstruction and document withholding Bill Morneau Controversies – WE ties, pension conflicts Paul Chiang Controversy – Foreign interference allegations Unlawful Emergencies Act Use (Trucker Convoy) – Bank accounts frozen, later ruled illegal Firearms Buyback Fiasco – Projected $2B–$6B and counting Mark Carney / Brookfield Conflicts – Offshore tax structures, revolving-door politics Chrystia Freeland Ukraine Funding Controversy – Oversight concerns Baylis Medical Ventilator Contract – ~$237M contract awarded to a firm owned by a former Liberal MP for COVID-19 equipment. Mary Ng Ethics Breach – Multiple government contracts directed to a close personal friend and media personality.

NSICOP "Traitor" MP Allegations – National intelligence reports of sitting MPs "wittingly" collaborating with foreign hostile states. Admiral Mark Norman Prosecution – A failed $50M legal battle involving alleged political interference in a naval procurement contract. Han Dong Controversy – Resignation from caucus following allegations of CCP involvement in his nomination and conduct. Governor General Expense Scandals – ~$1.3M in luxury travel, high-end catering, and secretive villa renovations under Payette and Simon. PBO Carbon Tax Gag Order – Government blocking the Budget Officer from releasing internal data showing the tax’s true economic hit. GC Strategies $250M Windfall – Total federal contracts awarded to the two-person ArriveCAN firm since 2015 across multiple departments. Public Health Agency (PHAC) Missing Data – Intentional destruction of emails and documents related to the Winnipeg Lab security breach. Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) RCMP Probe – Formal criminal investigation into 186 cases of alleged conflicts and $390M in funding. "The Other Randy" Business Scandal – Investigation into text messages suggesting a Cabinet Minister remained active in private business. COVID-19 Quarantine Hotel Fiasco – Billions spent on mandatory hotel stays marked by reports of safety failures and lack of oversight. Parliamentary Witness Coaching Scandal – $263,000 in taxpayer funds spent to "coach" government employees and witnesses on how to spin answers at committee. Etc Etc The Liberal performance review: rushed programs, no transparency, friends get paid, costs explode, and no one is held accountable. Over a decade, this government has burned through $100B+ in waste, failed programs, insider contracts, and ethics breaches—with zero consequences—all on the backs of taxpayers while they get rich.

As a Canada who speaks both French and English and who follows politics quite closely, I have to say that the headline and some of the reporting here is quite misleading. A reduction in immigration has broad support across Canada. I wouldn't say that notion is dividing the country in any significant way. You do have certain industry groups that disagree, but among the population these reductions have broad support. This is a historic change in public opinion in Canada, but it has been driven by the unprecedented increase in immigration under the last term of the Trudeau government. To put this in context, non-permanent residents in Canada numbered around 1.5 million on Q3 2023, but by Q3 2025, that number sat a just over 3 million. The previous government increased immigration targets by 3 or 4 times over what they had been for years, which caused a number of economic issues. Essentially, the volume was simply too high for the economy and society to support. This was unfair to both Canadians and new comers, many of which could not find employment or afford a decent place to live. The changes being suggested are largely bringing Canada back to what the targets were for over a decade before, though a bit lower to account for the sudden surge. Canada remains one of the most pro-immigration countries in the world. However, and this is where I think DW's reporting is misleading, there is a distinction to be made between policies at the federal level and policies at the provincial level. Immigration, per our constitution, is a federal matter, however, Quebec in particular is distinct from other provinces. I don't mean only culturally and linguistically, but also in the powers that have been devolved to it by the federal government. On the question of immigration, Quebec has more powers and more ability to set its immigration targets and programs than any of the other 9 provinces. The particular program discussed here, the Quebec Experience Program (PEQ), is a particular immigration stream that only existed in Quebec. So what is happening with that program cannot be labeled as a whole-of-Canada thing. Where the changes to the PEQ are controversial, unlike the general changes at the federal level, is that people who immigrated under that specific program were promised certain things. There was a multi-year time line to Permanent Residency and then Citizenship. Many of those people have been in Quebec for 5-8 years already. However, the changes made to the program were done in such a way where people who many years into the program, had gotten an education, started a career, had children, ect. are now being told they can't continue and must leave Canada. There are even stories of people who married Canadians, now have children, and the one parent who was under this program now faces the possibility of having to leave Canada and be separated from their family. All through no fault of their own. That is what many people see as unfair, and I agree, however limiting future applications under the program, to bring in less people, that is not controversial. Canada has no responsibility to bring in people who are not already in Canada, but Canada does have some responsibility towards people who uprooted their lives to move to Canada and built new lives here based on promises and representations made to them by the Canadian and Quebecois governments. We should no simply kick those people out of the country.

Grinding views on Indian rage bait very good you cant make quality content anyways just grow your channel on controversy and rage bait a specific community

After poop controversy tylar new india video 😂😂😂 , dont. Wary Indians help you😂😂😂😂

This is not a controversy. Private companies abused the system to make a profit, now they’re rectifying it.

Why is this controversial? I wish they would do that in Canada also

Thank you, Trudeau. Not that I value your opinion but it seems to have made a lot of sad liberals feel a bit better. Reciprocal tariffs… shouldn’t be a controversial subject

It’s truly unbelievable how gullible people can be, and I’m not saying this to be cruel, this is just the straight truth. Justin Trudeau is a proven liar and an opportunist, plain and simple. Time and time again, he’s shown that he’ll say whatever fits his agenda, no matter how dishonest or manipulative. He’s openly embraced and pushed harmful, nonsensical ideologies, including radical transgender policies aimed at children. Without question, he’s been the most damaging Prime Minister in Canadian history. Under his leadership, Canada isn’t just struggling, it’s circling the drain. That speech everyone’s praising — he didn’t even write it. It’s all just another performance, another chance to prop up his fake image. The truth is, Trudeau has done far more harm to this country than good, and that’s the reality whether people want to admit it or not.\n\nAnd for all the Trump haters out there, it’s incredible, actually baffling, how nobody seems to be talking about the billions and billions of taxpayer dollars that have been completely wasted — just vanished into thin air. You don’t hear a word about that. It’s unbelievable. Meanwhile, America’s borders were secure under Trump, but you never hear about that either. And let’s not forget, men weren’t allowed to compete against women in sports, which should be common sense, but somehow even that’s controversial now. The silence on all of it is staggering. It’s absolute insanity.

Trump knows this is wrong but it’s more about his presidential legacy. He wants to be a president talked about in history books for centuries like George Washington or Abraham Lincoln and with ALL of his controversial antics….I’m sad to say it…he will?

So pointless ? Harris warned that this will happen ? so many controversies since Trump 2.0 - this is not going to end well for any of us …? I’m praying for better days for yall ???

Just ask the people of Canada specifically those living in the City of Brampton. Been to Canada plenty of times. They used to be warm and friendly to immigrants. But the behavior of the Indians has caused so much controversy. There is now resentment towards Indians. Their arrogant and entitlement behaviour is now causing backlash towards immigrants.

Trump has started a war against its allies (Canada, Mexico EU, Denmark). Previously, I thought he had a plan, now It seems like he is just happy with controversial speeches and media headlines, I don't think his actions are going to benefit America.

Each must give an account of himself to God. He has given us His law as a mirror into which we may look and discover the defects in our characters. We are not to look into this mirror for the purpose of seeing our neighbor’s faults reflected, of watching to see if he comes up to the standard, but to see the defects in ourselves, that we may remove them.\n\n\nAmend your ways and your doings Jer 7:3 read the Great Controversy book by EGW

If you're hiring illegals or relying on illegal labour you dont deserve sympathy. You should be fined or in jail. How is this even debatable? The news creating controversies out of the most uncontroversial, common sense issues..

Sorry, this is a major fail CNN. Integrity of service does not seem to matter to these misfits. Go bring your transgender somewhere else, not in our US military please. FAR TOO MUCH CONTROVERSY AND AN ATTACK ON ESPIRIT DE CORPS

Might be able to do the job… but belonging to a sex gender ideology cult that is controversial and demands infringement upon real woman spaces is disruptive

As an Indian Immigrant who left recently, here are few tips for Canadians:\n\n1. Not every brown person is Indian, I knew people from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka identifying themselves as Indians.\n\n2. Its not entire India but two major states, Punjab and Gujarat, with majority of aggressive actions coming from IMMIGRANTS from Punjab and not native Punjabis who are born and brought up here.\n\n3. Immigrants can’t vote, so majorly its not your fault and so is not immigrants fault but the Government that the CITIZENS elected brought immigrants for boosting their dead economy.\n\n4. Controversial but I will say it, Canada is a FRENCH country with English as its second major language. No others language is as prominent, So if you are sure that a brown person is an IMMIGRANT and they can’t even speak ENGLISH properly let alone French, 99% chance he/she is a problem in your country and does labour work.

its sad that rejection rate is high. However thinking whether the rejection rate increased or the application got increased. is it more people day by day do not want to stay in india? or at least more people are willing to move out of india for better life and money???\nthe benefits after paying high income tax in india is becoming more controversial...

Please read some countries ( and not controversies) stated in my comments

Some controversies ask for return Air Ticket along with visa application and if visa is rejected, the application looses Air Ticket amount

Islamic rule in India was a form of colonialism, characterized by the imposition of a foreign islamic culture, religion, and political system on the Indian subcontinent.\nMuslims were foreign invaders who came to India and imposed their Islamic faith and culture on the indigenous population. They point to examples of the destruction of Hindu temples, the imposition of Jizya tax on non-Muslims, and the forced conversions to Islam as evidence of this colonialist mindset.\nMuslim social attitudes on modern issues have caused controversy everywhere. Islam to be incompatible with secular society, and that, unlike other religions, Islam positively commands its adherents to impose its religious law on all peoples, believers and unbelievers alike, whenever possible and by any means necessary. Islam allows to propagate abuses, such as the mistreatment of women and homosexuals, and slavery. They also state that multiculturalism allows a degree of religious freedom that exceeds what is needed for personal religious freedom and is conducive to the creation of organizations aimed at undermining secular values. According to poll, high people had an unfavourable view of Islam, higher than for any other religion.

Possibly controversial opinion: I feel as though if we’re being technical, if you can’t trace at least 1 ancestor 200yrs back in this country (America’s first census); you’re not truly American. \n\nThere are a lot of fleeing foreigners cosplaying as Americans here. You have to draw the line somewhere.

Canadian (second gen indian immigrant) here, your video is great! Not racist or hateful at all towards Indians, but rather critiquing the system which is how these topics should always be addressed. Don't hate the player, hate the game LOL but no seriously, Canada needs to tighten up the immigration requirements and bring in skilled WORKERS. exploiting international students is far too common, and these private post-secondary institutions are also all to blame... kids straight out of highschool should not be coming here, expecting to PR this is nuts, and the Rupinderpaul Singh controversy makes me so embarrassed to be Indian. The students and that guy truly do not represent the rest of us LOL

We don't care anymore, CNN. Its why yall losing money. We see the patterns. We know the trends. -yall a mechanism for infiltrating liberal minds with controversial ideas, yet aiding them along as you see fit to profit and sustain operations for the next cycle at the viewership's expense. ;)

Imagine that stopping the entry of drugs and criminals is controversial\n\n\nTRUMP 2024 USA USA USA

These two up top are trying to create controversy. The fact is everyone knows Mexico will lose in the end, this isn't a tit for tat endeavor, Trump means business, Mexico should have shut down their southern border to invaders long ago but sadly the cartels run Mexico not their president so when there's illegal money to be made their president it seems wears blindfolds !

Nothing controversial about it. Illegal immigrants are not wanted and the people have spoken.

Ah yes, common sense is now controversial. ??‍♂️

We cannot have a country! that is controversial! Get the h out of here!

BIDEN LET MILLIONS INVADE THE COUNTRY - where is your f. video saying that was controversial???

Controversial to who? To the foreigners and to the Democratic Party, who imported them to tilt the vote in their favor permanently?

Its not controversial. Its the law. Not illegals no matter how many votes you need to cheat our elections.

What's so controversial about enforcing the law?\n\nIf it's so controversial, why not repeal the law?

He just won the election in the biggest republican landslide in 39 years because of his plan, how is it controversial?

If doing mass deportation illegal immigrants is controversial, something is wrong with world.

There's nothing like controversial here, the American people voted massively for this. Stop the loathing.

I don;'t see anything controversial about deporting immigrants who break the law. If I went to Saudi Arabia and smoked weed, being sent home would be the least of my problems.

There is nothing controversial about protecting your country's borders. Infact, not protecting them should be controversial.

Controversial? Nah, this clickbait and misinformation is.
