Very conservative video, coming right in time for the election. Immigrants are always an easy target, as this video shows well. At this point - Feb 2025- a lot of condos have been built in Toronto and guess what, nobody is buying!! The economy dipped with the pandemic as it happened in many other countries! When I immigrated to Canada - and I had nothing then, it was impossible to even think of buying a house, under a Conservative government. About 10 years later I was able to purchase my first home and am doing well, thank you. So are the builders in this beautiful province, close friends with the premier. I wonder if this video is independently produced - I doubt it! There are plenty of people happily living in Canada!

For the last five years in Canada, you could not have a conversation about politics now everyone hates our Prime Minister and it’s OK again

Trump still a convicted criminal snd loser... nothing je does in next four years if hes lucky will stick...hes a troubles old man and all will be undone. He sucked losing after first term. Nothing will make a difference this Term!

How much would you pay for Health Insurance per year

I've been to the states many times! My opinion is that Americans focus on wallets more than social issues! Americans care more about their own circumstances than working together to help the whole of the population. No one likes to pay more taxes but they are a nessesary evil to be able to pay for health care, public security, and so on! So sure Americans don't pay as much for some things but pay more for things that they shouldn't pay! Health care is something that is very important, how can you be expected to pay for health services if you can't work cause you're ill, doesn't make any sence! Even Americans leave thier country because of what it's becoming! 50- 100 years ago everyone wanted to immigrate to America or Canada, now a days everyone is immigrating here to Canada. Should I have to explain why! It's sad but the U.S.A isn't what it used to be. Mostly because of corporate greed and the influence it has on the gouvernment! Just look at how Trump is running things. A country isn't a bussiness, it's a people, without the people a country is nothing. Too bad Trump and his billionaire butt licking friends can't see that!

SOUTH AFRICANS CAN KICK OUT WHITE PEOPLE OUT AFRICA..... YEARS....OF..... MISTREATED.....TO BLACK PEOPLE...... CHANGE YOUR...... WAYS......???

The tariffs were to incentivise Canada and Mexico to help stop the flow of fentanyl into the u.s. the tariffs didn't need to happen. if these governments helped curb drug flow by securing their own borders there wouldn't have been tariffs. Instead they sided with China that makes the drug that kills 15,000 people a year in the u.s.. these people's blood is on your hands and your reason for doing it? you don't like trump.. you just had to secure the borders so people would stop needlessly dying, but you just wouldn't do it..

Ice ice babe, ice ice babe. It's cleaning time babe. Get rid of black spots on your skin babe. Wash them off coz they're so smelly babe lol. Birds with the same feather flock together babe. Black is black they want their babe black. White lady is against the Liberty lady. YMCA ...YMCA....You May Come Again after 4 years YMCA lol let's sing. hehehe

This was two years ago. This was not today or this week.

So he’s a man …. 19 and a half years ago you were a man and now you’re a man with long hair. I would suggest that you get a haircut and put on your pants

Why because they’ve been able to walk right across for the last 4 years.

USA soon to become the most distasteful country to visit. Cancelling my month long trip to Florida this year and for the future.

Trump is making the USA healthy again, neighbouring countries lack to do so for years to stop illegal activities pouring in the US

Its gonna be a very long 4 years....

This is old news from last year. Is a Fake News didn’t happen after Trump.

Well, cant stand justin. But... \n\nCanadian's have been hurting bad for a few years now. What's a few more. \n\nI say screw tariffs. Just shut it all off. Power, oil, movie production, soft lumber, maple syrup, ALL natural resources. \n\nJust dont sell it to them at all.\n\n\nBuild up our own infrastructure and become the global monster we should be.\n\nProudly Canadian!

Australian here. The US ranks alongside China as an unreliable trade partner, and I think it would be a huge risk for countries to assume that the US would honour any security pacts.\n\nAll branches of US Government are corrupted:\n\n1. Supreme Court - what would happen in your country if a justice of the highest court in your land was found to have accepted millions of dollars in financial benefits from a billionaire with business before the court.\n\n2. Whitehouse - a convicted felon is currently the President and he is supported by people who can’t even convince him the reality of who pays tariffs.\n\n3. House of Representatives - name one piece of legislation of significance that has emanated out of the House in 4 years? How many ridiculous fishing expeditions have they pursued for the sake of political gain. Responsible for withholding aid to Ukraine for months.\n\n4. Senate - confirmed the appointment of several cabinet members devoid of the requisite experience for their role, including an ex tv host to head up Defence who has issues for alcoholism, fidelity, was head of a veterans group charged with financial mismanagement, is accused of ra8e, and has white supremecy tattoos on his body.\n\nNot a country you can rely on.

This happened more than a year ago

I support Canadian, mexican and US citizens in these horrible decisions by Trump. You will feel the effects shortly, i will feel it in a couple of months. This is utter nonsense - all because of one old angry inidividual who only has a few years left on earth. We, the citizens, must have more say in our future than Mr Trumps anger in his elder days!

Don't vote for Ford, people, he spent years kissing up to Trump before these tariffs.

The US can no longer carry the world on its shoulders anymore. It is not isolationism it is Mercantilism . Something that should have happened twenty years ago. It is the economic policy of every country in the world and now us.

I bet this is the retaliation for the “moment “ between Justin and Melania on the tarmac a few years ago. \nDonald was hurt that day and this is his revenge. \nGoogle it and you’ll understand.

Let’s see ? the US doesn’t need your milk, cheese, oil, lumber, cars really which is up to US manufacturers to open manufacturing in Detroit again…..maple syrup yes but I think we can get that somewhere else in the US too.\n\nCanada depends on the US for 75% of its gross GDP. It also costs the US $200 billion a year to continue trading with Canada. Will see who blinks.\n\nMX, good luck. Will see how many months before we hear a large Ugh..

Canada & Mexico have facilitated the influx of drugs manly from China that have killed 100,000 Americans a year for the last 3 years! How did you think this was going to play out?

So, what year was this, if comments are from a year ago????????

Don't worry about inflation from tariffs...I will just finance my purchase of bananas with a 12 month payment plans....and finance my car with a 50 year loan...and my home with a 1000 year mortgage...I will be alright.

This Canadian PM is the one causing all these. He legalize drugs in Canada and loose Canadian borders in the past 9 years. Unfortunately Canadians have to suffer because his wrong policies. I had never vote liberals and will never vote liberals.

Wow - this makes me sick - bunch of entitled ass-wipes - and don’t come back at me - I’ve known hunger and poverty. Venezuelan people are hated in most of Mexico, Central and South America. They come from a communist country and they are used to getting free everything. They cross 7 countries to shop for the best country with the best benefits near them hence the U.S. Biden messed the U.S. big time by giving them each thousands each in an EBT card to buy their own food cuz they complained about the free food we provided and therefore they were given the money cards and free luxury hotels for housing, free medical, etc. So their people contacted their people over there that we give free luxury 5 star hotel living and money cards over here, open border, etc. We had some at my apt. complex - broken glass in the pool, loud music way past midnight cuz they didn’t have to work -went on for about three years till they were finally evicted. Rudest people i’ve ever met. SMH

Raising tariffs are effectively the same as raising taxes, which is something that Americans have been crying to do for years. Whether you are raising taxes on the rich or levying tariffs, at the end of the day, the cost will be passed down to the consumer. From the perspective of a producer, is there really a difference between a tariff and a tax?

The regular people will suffer. Canada and Mexico will suffer more. The US economy is very big and dynamic. It will absorb tariffs. Trump's foreign policy is going to be very predatory. These trade wars have the potential to spill into other areas: Diplomatic and military in which Mexico and Canada cannot match the United States. The next four years are going to be turbulent.

The U.S. government decided to deport illegal immigrants, though some may see this as a positive move.Apart from this, many other decisions have been horrific. Nobody anticipated that things would go this far, straining relations with Canada and Mexico. Ultimately, consumers like us in the U.S. and Canada will have to bear the consequences.I am asking—who is ultimately going to suffer? What can the government really achieve in just four years? This seems like a systematic way to devastate the U.S. economy. What about us, the consumers? Nobody in the White House or any government office is addressing this. Why isn’t the President talking about the impact on consumers? Prices will skyrocket multiple times over, and we, the consumers will face unprecedented price hikes with no alternative .What a pityy that who all voted for this . .

The 1.6 billion dollars Trudeau said he “pledged” to border security is to be spread out over 6 years! Which basically at this point none of it has beeen spent. It is a laughable amount to try to appease trumps request and trump is smart enough to read the fine print in the border security bill o know that Trudeau isn’t taking border security seriously.

Your worried about trans gender when the open boarder results in millions of dead Americans from drug overdoses. The issue of the rapping and murderers of American females. This is why your ratings are down. Americans could care less about issues the left think are huge issues. There will not be a Democratic President for many years now.

From a year ago. The reality for desperate immigrants on the other side of that bridge in Ciudad Juarez today must be horrific. So devastating to the souls that have fled so far and so long, just to be stuck in that city with its murderous history.

Massallah! Now please take a few thousand Muslims with you! Is that islamaphobic? No! It is not a Hate for the people. Just as you don't want different ideologies around you, you want to be amongst your people, so do others. People want to be in Communities of like minded people. \n\nHatred for Islam? Over the past 50 years, terror, taking over neighborhoods, pushing the majority Christian host nations to conform to their standards, etc. Hate for muslims begins to brew. Foreigners not assimilating. Look at stats for crime in Europe.\n\nSo bravo ?! Go in peace. Please!

As a Kenyan I support!!!!!! Can Trump come to Kenya to get the Somali and Arab people out too!!!! There's been an influx in the last few years...

More human pain, suffering, and deaths have occurred during the 4 years of BIDEN'S administration and with Democrat immigration policies. Turning a blind eye to obvious issues can be more destructive than actually BECOMING A RESPONSIBLE MATURE ADULT IN A CIVILIZED SOCIETY.

Best news all year ! All illegals are in our radaw

Leave it up to cnn to post a 2 year old video

Canada is not place to live...for my job I did visit and my company ask to live there for 5 years if I want... but I run back to spain....canada cold and high cost of living...dont know why indians like cold canada?

WHY HAS AMERICANS ENABLE THIS FOR YEARS?! You are your own biggest problem then you complain there is no job, pay is less and housing is high. Of course it’s going to be for you when these illegals get paid peanuts and take whatever jobs they can get and thousands of them need housing who’s chances are they taking for places to rent you think? What is rest skyrocketing and that affects the housing price u buy. First protect your borders don’t give False hope to these ppl coz they are fools who will make the long trip thinking they are in the promised land once they cross the boarder ??‍♀️??‍♀️??‍♀️

Anyone who criticizes anyone who wants to serve their country should shut the hell up and enlist. Yes. 22 years and retired.

This was almost 2 years ago

Here in California I have met many wonderful Indian nationals; however, many assist and support the concept of illegally immigrating to the US. One woman I know, from Delhi, married one guy then divorced him, and then within a year married and divorced another man. Does anyone care about the trauma and fact this is called grifting, basically criminal fraud for a green card. She was on her thrid target when I had to stop knowing her. There are allot of Indian nationals here involved with many shady businesses, doing crime here is acting as a parasite - something easy to do as people genuinely like Indian people. Also California now has anti caste discrimination laws, the only state in the US, that should tell you allot about their integrity.

Why is this video being circulated now as if it wasn’t 2 years ago

Trump is your daddy for 4 years!!! ???????

Twenty years ago in Toronto, a one-bedroom apartment could be rented for around $700 a month. Today, a similar apartment costs between $2,500 and $3,000 per month. The government should regulate housing market investments to prevent the pursuit of profits at the expense of ordinary people. \nWith the large influx of immigrants of all kinds, there is increasing pressure on families and individuals to rent or buy housing. For instance, in one neighbourhood, a house has been fitted with two bunk beds per room, with the owner charging $500 to $700 per bed. One can only imagine how many people live in that house and what it looks like in the summer when everyone gathers in the backyard. \nIf the government fails to regulate immigration to align with the real needs of the economy and housing market, what’s next? May people be forced to rent a bed for just eight hours of sleep or resort to living in sheds or makeshift plastic tents on the streets? \nAnd when the economy takes a downturn, leaving people with no income, what will happen then?

Just shut the border down for two years..

Well if you are illegal you are illegal ! I am african I live abroad for over 20 years no issues because I travelled the right way in the first place

We revolted England only 250 years ago. Maybe do it in your country. We’re 5,000,000 homes short here
