Trump is a disgusting sociopath! For the first time in my life, I feel unsafe in my country. I stand with Canada, Ukraine, Greenland, Panama, and Mexico! Trump should be in jail! Anyone who supports him has sold their soul to the devil! Praying for my nation!??❤️?

Thank god my state won out blue, even if just barely. I would feel so embarrassed living in a red state. Wait nevermind I still am ashamed to be an American for the first time in my entire life, even though I didn't vote for him. Glory to Canada and Slava Ukraini, can't believe I have to remind people of this

To our European friends, be careful. American hostility looks bad right now. But the bigger danger is Russia disinformation. America is hostile to Canada and Europe because Putin is using disinformation to radicalize the citizens of democratic countries. America has fallen victim and is divided today. Don't let Russia do the same thing to you. I am already noticing European also becoming radicalized slowly. Russian disinformation must stop now or Europe will fall apart the very same way. The very first step is to learn how Russian disinformation works, including Russian bots and trolls. And use social media less.

Picking fights with allies. America & Canada are first cousins. This is insane. Its absolutely insane.

China and Canada are like two boxers going up against the US. While China can last to the 11th round, Canada will tap out ten seconds in the first round.

WAIT! Is Canada now a Canada-first country? RACIST! \n\n\nOh, right. It's only racist for the United States to think of their people first, but everyone else is completely free to do so.

Canadian here- I hate Trudeau just as much as most Canadians, and as it seems most Republican Americans do as well. But I fully stand behind him at this hour. He might have shit the bed for most Canadians during his time as PM, but when it mattered he has stood up for Canada. Review the facts and educate yourself on the current situation between CAN and the US. I will be the first to admit, Canada has not done enough in terms of its own security and military, but these failures should not be the decay in our friendship as nations. The US DOES NOT subsidize Canada, it DOES NOT give money to Canada. In simple terms- the larger country, with the largest economy in the world (USA) buys more from its Northern brother, which produces vast amounts of natural resources which the larger southern country requires. As for the booing seen at most recent sports events in Canada, that is directed at the President, not the average American. I myself would never boo a national anthem, an anthem that millions have sacrificed to protect and defend. But I understand the pain and anger that is coming from my country. We have always been allies, friends, and to most even family. I do hope that in the future our relationship can heal and move forward but the current actions being taken by the American admistration are horrendus and upsetting to most of the world outside of the US. I wish us all the best in the future, be nice to one another, and always remember that the US and Canada have fought, spilled blood, and died alongside one another in the fight for democracy and freedom around the world.

Sounds like Canada ?? going to struggle bad in this trade war! America ?? first !

Canadian here, thank you for the support in these comments. Canada will remain the true north strong and free! Time to remind the Americans how Canadian deal with fascists. As we did on DDAY when Canadian forces were the first ones around the Nazi Flank, a similar evil arises and Canada will not relent.

Oh, Canada. Our home and fif-ty first staaaaate. ?

This video is horrible. I don't know what political angle is, but the real problems are very well known and have nothing to do with what you said. First, housing is incredibly difficult to build in Canada because of regulations and land title problems, I.e., you don't own that land, the indians do. On top of that, there is a constant influx of immigrant that require housing that doesn't exist. Children cry because they cannot leave their parents' houses because they can't move anywhere, so they can't find any jobs locally, and they're trapped. There is no will in the canadian government to change these immigration policies, to change the land rules so that people can own land and build houses, or do anything about their incredibly micro managed economy that makes it impossible to do anything. If so, yeah, they go to the US to have a future while Canada stagnants and dies.

As a Canadian who has lived my whole life here, in my opinion there were two major factors that need to be highlighted that started this mess: fiscal policy and focus on fringe politics. First, Canada came out of the 2008 meltdown relatively unscathed due to following a markedly different strategic path than other major countries, namely tight banking regulations as well as 15 years of paying down the national debt. However, several years after 2008, sentiment shifted to adopting the same MMT-led fiscal policies as other nations: lower interest rates and deficit spending. Secondly, at least 10 years ago, there was a major political shift to start emphasizing fringe social issues (climate, race-based, gender, etc.) instead of standard issues such as the economy or military to name two, and it was strongly evident in academia and in the media. The result was little governmental, public or media attention being paid to core economic concerns such as the massive growing government and consumer debt levels, highly inflationary housing market, or decreasing productivity. When COVID hit, the government further doubled the existing federal debt and when they found that unsustainable, opened the doors to massive immigration levels to bring the Debt-per-Capita ratio down which while helping in that one metric, has further inflated the housing market all while forcing wages down. We now have unsustainable public debt levels, unaffordable housing, decreasing wages, decreasing productivity, and a troubling reactionary political swing towards extremist right-wing ideologies. Top that off with the US administration seeing Canada is on an economic precipice and threatening to take the country over, there couldn't be a more perfect storm.

After the first 48 seconds of this video I'm now even more convinced that Canada and Australia are basically the same country

High real estate prices have fueled hidden corruption by all levels of government. Until you try to build something you just can't imagine the fees and cost of regulation compliance. Since values keep rising there are more hands out demanding more by all levels of government. Another (sort of) related issue that has been ignored until recently has been Trudeau's reparations to First Nations. He has manipulated the courts and civil service to acquiesce to whatever is demanded. The province of BC just ceded sovereignty to an Island chain (Haida Gwaii) to an indigenous group that is against virtually any economic development. Northern Canada, as vast as is, is essentially blocked from new resource development. Every investment, including housing development, needs approval from, usually in the form of a payment to, an Indian Band. The level of corruption here is at South America levels.\n\nI think the unsaid part about excessive immigration levels the last few years was that was used to mask what the government was doing.

The housing market in Canada is out of control. Prices keep going up, and it feels impossible for first-time buyers to afford anything.

Modi Bhakta should first Entrospect what modi govt did and doing for indian youths during last 10 years and presently. Good and international level education should get indian student is on us on Modi govt and state government. It is not responsibility of CANADA. Dear first you correct own house then rise finger on others. . Wearing western dress following western culture and criticism west too. It is not fairly good.

First n of all how I they allowed to get into Canada to begin with thank Trudeau

So being canadian means being white only ? All the Europeans that split tithe USA and some in canada because of their disagreements, that may be the culture of the first settlers yes. Times have changed an racist people better get use to changes. The whole earth does not belong to any one color. The Jesuse whites clin to love and worship is Jewish , yeah remember that. I l8ve mix cultures, my family is very mixed. It is possible to coexist together in love and respect and unity. Respect all faith but also respect the founding rules of the country. I personally do not agree with somethings cultural habits like child marriage etc or Muslim laws for women etc. Thank God for Canadian laws for all people. It's normal for people to bond together in the community and they all seem to feel more comfortable living ner their own ethic people. I love all people and I'm good living amongst a mixed community!

Wow, this guy is very intelligent, he puts some clips he loaded from news or the Internet and unloaded them here to bait the people. They are coming by the thousands but the video shows only a few people. First thing is, people crossing into the USA, it's not upto canada to stop them. If somone enters canada from the USA then its upto canada to stop them from entering, not the USA. If sombody crosses into USA then it's upto USA to block them..\n\nMost of the content in this video is false. People are always trying to cross into other countries illegally, but it's upto the other countries border security to stop them and send them back..\n\nWhat a lie about the bus waiting for these people at the crossing points. LoL...sure sure..\n\nIce is nothing but a reality show, very little reality but it's entertaining to watch because people think it's real. Lol...\n\nTrump used cheap labor to built his Empire. do you guys think he hired Americans to built his luxury hotels, casinos, towers etc? Heck no, he used these very same migrants he claims to be taking your jobs away from you. Guy soreads lies and speaks from both sides of his mouth. Think about it. If you have a business, are you going to hire expansive labor or cheap labour? If you wanna make BIG profits then you knkw who you'd be hiring. Face it. Migrants will do jobs that no one wants and they'll do it for a lot less. \n\nI got a roof put on my House for less then half of what i was quoted. Thanks to the hard working migrants. Take it to the bank, ICE is not created to deport big numbers of migrants back, its created to make it look that way. How would you know how many people they deported, oh yeah, becasue the orange men is going to brag about it and you'll fall for it. Much like this video.

COMPLETE BULLSHIT. Trump is sending busloads of illegal immigrants from NYC and dropping them off at the Canadian border because that's cheaper than legally deporting them. This clown has them going the wrong way. They are counting the illegal immigrants Canada caught and is sending back to NYC by bus. MAGA idiots trying to make Trump the Frump look good.\nWhat these American geniuses should be looking at is:\nD. J. Trump has been a valuable asset to the Russian services for 40 years?\n\nAccording to former Soviet agent Yuri Shewrew, who moved to the U.S. in 1993 and obtained U.S. citizenship, Donald Trump was classified by the KGB as valuable services for forty years. Szłowie, former KGB Major, is currently one of the most important sources in Craig Unger’s book. “The American Comsar.” In addition to this thread, the book examines the president’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, a U.S. financier, who died in 2019.\n\nUnger claims that Trump first interested the Russians in 1977 when he married his first wife, Ivana Zelnickova, a Czech model. At that time, he became the target of a spy operation supervised by Czechoslovak intelligence in cooperation with the KGB. Three years later, when Trump opened his first major Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York City, he bought 200 TVs from Siemon Kislin, a Soviet immigrant who co-owner of the electronic company Joy-People at Fifth Avenue. According to Szedema, Joy-People was controlled by the KGB, and Kislin worked as her agent and selected Trump, a young, growing businessman, as a potentially valuable intelligence.\n\nWhen in 1987. Trump and his wife visited Moscow and Leningrad for the first time, the future president held many business meetings, including KGB officers. According to the Sędzim, Russian officials who perfectly identified the narcissism of the interlocutor and his psychological and intellectual weaknesses led a real “offensive of charm”, flattered him and emphasized that his personality made a huge impression on them. They suggested that such a man should deal with politics, that only people like him can change the world. According to Szbla and Unger, Trump was the perfect target for recruitment in many ways, especially because of vanity and narcissism.\n\nTrump almost immediately “entered” a new role, i.e. “joyfully parroted anti-Western propaganda.” Shortly after his return to the United States, he began his efforts among the Republicans to nominate for his candidacy for president, and even organized an election rally in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. On September 1, 1987, he published a full-page ad-icing in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Boston Globe, in which, among other things, he accused the Alliance of the U.S. and expressing his skeleticism to the U. According to Trump, America should stop paying to defend countries that can defend themselves. Such actions caused real euphoria in the USSR. Trump has already made the same the same theses as president.\n\nTrump's victory in the 2016 election. The Russians accepted with satisfaction. Special investigator Robert Mueller did not detect a conspiracy between members of the Trump staff and the Russians, but revealed at least 272 contacts and 38 meetings with people linked to Russia. The storm told The Guardian that he was disappointed with the investigation because there were no counterintelligence aspects of Trump’s relations with Moscow. According to Unger, Trump was definitely an asset to the Russian services, and his book “will start where Mueller ended.”\n\nSource: The Guardian of 29.01.2021.\n\nMelanija Knavs [now Melania Trump] was born in Novo Mesto, Yugoslavia, now part of present-day Slovenia, on April 26, 1970. Her father Viktor Knavs first worked as a chauffeur, and he eventually sold car parts for a state-owned vehicle manufacturer as he made connections with the League of Communists of Yugoslavia, the national communist party.\n\nWhy do you think Trump is so anti-Ukraine? Putin also has sex tapes showing Trump with adolescent girls in Russia, and Trump also owes Putin billions of dollars.

Umm hold on if they are traveling from Canada into the U.S. Where is U.S. border security on this. They dictate who gets in and who doesn't far as their country. How is that Canada's fault? We seized litterarly 30 million worth of drugs and firearms in first week of better border security measures. Coming from the U.S. Don't hear Trump saying anything about that being a problem?! Too much none sense not enough realistic facts being stated via media on the U.S. side.

Great job canada first

What a complete pile of BS. First of all, As if it was easy to fly to Canada… Second of all, if you’re taking a bus across the broker ovb you need to proof right of entry like a visa or passport into the states - I can’t believe fall for this kind of news ?

I leave in Canada since 1992 and it was very difficult to became lendent immigrant and life was very affordable interesting the first house we bought lake front for 48 thousand and townhouse for 58 thousand in Brandford and it was affordable to pay mortgage even i became a widow but now gasoline so expancive rased 3 times so and grosseries prices increased the same .Why we have to pay carbontax ,landtaxes wich became 2500 compaire 350 in 2000? You don't have for whoom complain if you didnt have good service the courts always on contractor's side even you have all evidences about stealing materials .It is so ashamed so rich and nice country became the most expensive to leave !

So let me get this staight. Criminals allowed into Canada and then cross the border in the US\nHow did they get into Canada in the first place. Oh yea, Trudeau let them in with little or no vetting. No wonder Trump is doing what he is doing to Canada . Trudeau has got to go. Resign and someone else as PM.

its sad you would think that in country like canada nothing like this will happen ...do your resarch first dont belive the sales men !!!

You mean the migrants who crossed over from the US in the first place? Come on Canada defend your border. Turn t hese people back to the US. So the US lets them leave but not come back? Ya who needs friends like that. How about both sides protect the border and allow NO ONE to cross illegally. Just turn them back problem solved. But we all know why Trudoh wont do that. His orders come from higher up

I'm Canadian First Nation's people's. American Indians and Canadians Have been ignored after the Cultural Genocide that continues till this day. I like your vlogs man. Feel Free to come to Canada.?❤❤❤

How do these people get to Canada in the first place? Apparently they have a border problem as well, we should send their border patrol some $$ assistance instead of funding African's accessibility to condoms ?

I always figured that one of the best First Nations land settlements in Canada would be to turn over a 10km wide strip that follows the entire Canada/US border. Just one long territory that's completely controlled by the Native population and nothing gets through without their say.

The illegals have to enter Canada first at some point and in some way and it's obvious that Canada has dropped the ball on it's own border and immigration controls and is just pointing the way to the US border . This is a big reason why relations with Justin Trudeau and Trump have gone sour . Why is the New York Mayor and the Governor not being arrested ? Going to need a wall around New York .

Wow did you say 16000 crossed an artificial line well build a steel wall on it That unprotected border used to be something both countries were proud of. People used to cross the borber to go to work and go home every day. Trump says Canada should become the 51st state but all those brown people will obviously have to go. So all those educated Asians whose first choice was to immigrate to the US but had to settle for Canada and have every reason to support statehood aren't welcome.

This should be a major embarrassment for us in Canada. How are these people allowed to enter Canada in the first place.

So much misinformation in this video. First off, Trump didn't force Canada to do anything. Canada had the $1B security plan already in place and was going to do this long before Trump came to power. Secondly, more people come in to Canada illegally from the US than the other way around. Also, Canada has a huge issue with these people smuggling US guns in to our country. \n\nThe US needs to secure its borders. Canada has the fewest number of illegals coming in compared to US and Mexico, and also, they all come in from the US. Nobody is swimming across oceans to come in to Canada illegally otherwise.

You all forget that more fentanyl comes into Canada from the US then the other way around. Maybe y’all should help crack down on illegals and drugs entering MY country. Also, we wouldn’t have people entering your country from ours IF YOU DIDN’T CREATE SANCTUARY CITIES IN THE FIRST PLACE.

And how the hell they get into Canada at the first place?

It's funny but the first time tRUMP was in office he didn't give two shits about the northern border when immigrants were crossing into Canada from the US side.\n How about stopping the flow of guns crossing into Canada from the US

Fact: Canada had agreed to increase border security before trump got into office.\nFact: trump's own border czar Homan admitted that they only made 14,000 arrests in the first 27 days and that puts them about 80,000 short of what Biden did last year. Lies! trump only used the border problems to get into power and doesn't care about anything else but power and money for the rich.

Question to Canada. How are letting them fly into Canada in the first place.

Int'l law requires/allows: 1. Asylum seekers apply for asylum in the first valid country they enter. 2. Thus, those Asylum seekers entering America from or having passed through Canada or Mexico, etc. can be returned to the last valid asylum allowing country or be returned to any other they passed through... 3. So, it's all legal to deny them consideration...\n>> Any not respecting our laws shouldn't be considered... After the world of willingly-law-breakers realize this, the crisis will end... \n>>>> New York needs to wake up! NYC kicked out Veterans & recently housed homeless, even families, to accommodate & house illegals, even so-called fraudulent-asylum-seekers...

Just stop them entering Canada in the first place. It’s not that easy to fly into Canada without an ESTA - and good reason.

Canada?! How did they get there in the first place, are they shipping them in??

Plenty of migrants cross in the other direction, from the US into Canada. At one point, when Texas first started shipping migrants to New York City, New York City started bussing migrants up to the Canadian border. Google Roxam Road.

Ok, but how do those people enter Canada in the first place ? They fly in with visas and then go south. Stop the visas, problem's over on that front.

How did these horrible people get in Canada in the first place? Trudeau's poor vetting?

Canada needs to stop them from entering their country first then we won’t have a problem guarding the boarder is ok but wouldn’t be necessary if you never let them arrive in Canada anyhow .

As a Canadian, I care more about who is getting into Canada than who is getting into the US. I want to know from my government how are these people getting into Canada in the first place?? Canada needs to fix how people are getting into our country first. Then this will naturally help keep these folks from using the land border to gain access to the US.

How are these people getting into Canada in the first place? Come on Canada, sort your immigration out.

First of all the amount of Fentanyl getting into the states from Canada is extremely minimal. In order to keep a good relationship with you Americans we did what was asked . So many lies. So much chaos..

As a Canadian, I support any measure Trump places on Canada. There's a lot of Canadians, who are not willing to bend the knee to the Trudeau government, even if it means some pain. We are so sick of Trudeau and his NDP coalition government. Canada is struggling to get rid of this government and to let you know how bad it is, we are about to have our first ever 'UNELECTED' prime minister. He won't last long but it does really feel like pure unadulterated Authoritarianism.
