Americans are incredibly short-sighted.. Yes this Tariffs bullying will work now on the short term. But you're always driving countries to review their strategic partnerships and look elsewhere. So ok, in the immediate, this might sound like a win (for those with the IQ of a turtle), but the US just gave the whole world another reason to join BRICS, and start looking into ways to drop the US dollar. We'll revisit this in 2-4 years ?

Donald Trump is driving trades towards CHINA ,With his stupid tarriff

I hope you find the no driving columbian dude that made my insurance go up. Or at least worried enough to stay his ass off the road.

We don’t let a child drive a car for obvious reasons. Why do we let this child run our country?

Americans are being raped and murdered but this could drive up banana prices. Can we deport CNN?

for all of you in the comments trying to bash Trump talking about how this was a bad move and going to drive up prices, make enemies, etc. how do you feel now that the Colombian president has folded and is sending his presidential plane to pick them up? The threat of tariffs worked didn't it? Maybe it's time you admit to yourself you've been lied to and Trump knows what he's doing and has our country's best interest at heart.

He reminds me of an old man just learning how to drive...

Trump is going to drive all the countries from Mexico and Central and South America to join BRIC. That is probably the plan to appease his buddy Putin and line his own pockets at the expense of the USA

Just be aware, tariffs only hurt importers in the country that's utilizing them against another country. Meaning the US is going to get hurt by this along with Colombia. Importers take the hit and then they drive up the price on goods coming in. Meaning inflation increases even more. He's going to wreck the economy if he continues throwing out tariffs like candy. Colombia is likely going to join BRICS from this and will trade primarily with China.

Because Indian workers are driving down wages and conditions world wide ........... how about lift wages and conditions in India

They are also Driving across the Canadian Border in Semis

What if he cut the utilities like water n power from the condo? Will that drive her out.

Lived in Canada for almost 40 years. Worked in USA for 5 years 25 years ago. I did make a lot more money in USA then, luckily, I was in my 20s and almost never seen a doctor in my 5 years in the USA. \nThank God I didn't get into any accident while there. \n\nIn general, I observed many people in the USA are not good neighbors. Simple observation, ex you drive and merge into a lane in a busy SF Bay Highway you need to fight hard to get into a lane. In BC, Canada, merging lanes is very orderly, each vehicle takes turn merging into a lane one entering from one lane and then another vehicle from another lane with respect and consideration. \nIn the USA, I think it is this brutal mentality translates into policy in health care and education, you are not responsible to help your community in any way and take while you can for yourself.

Our government allowed every country that hates us to come in through the Mexican border, except for Mexican people, and the Mexican government gets all the blame for it. But all the black Haitians are driving around in new SUVs wrecking them. Nobody tells them nothing.

Give priority to students and who completed studies in Canada ...they are driving universities with their little contribution ...

Never lived there but I drive through alot. California used to be alot nicer but even in its prime its a waistland 3rd world country compared to canada. Texas was horrible. Everyone is rude and stupid. I understand the lack of education but even the people in charge are very simple minded and it's very rare to meet a beautiful woman. Everyone is plastic or too skinny and gross to look at. It's nice to live next door and drive through on my way to the pow wows. I would never move there. Unless canada makes more then 2 genders! Then I will fight a war against canada amd move to usa where we can arrest perverts for going into girls rooms.

Of course there should be rejections! You people move abroad drive up inflation and cost of living, where it is near impossible for the actual citizens of that country to adapt. Not only that, you come abroad on student visa's and find loopholes in systems to stay longer than you are required to and apply for permanent citizenship. You've ruined the sovereignty of many once great countries such as Canada, United Kingdom and Australia, so what did you expect? Along with the rejections they need to start deporting people back to India also.

This country is literally made from immigration. People coming here and driving out the Native Americans that were here for generations before us. But now, as a world superpower, we cry as people try to immigrant here just as our own ancestors did before us. This feels very hypocritical.

45 years ago I left Vancouver to go to Disneyland driving down the I-5 and I got stopped for speeding and I what's going as fast as most of the people on the highway I pulled over and the officer came to my window with his gun out pointed at me I'm thinking what the f*** how can this be I was speeding I never went back I do fly through what was the tariffs come in I'll fly over and never buy anything American again

they come over here and are driving 80 k trucks in construction. how is that possible ?

Out of control immigration drives up the cost to buy and rent houses, same issue here in Australia.\nWe can't builld enough houses in Australia to meet the demand. Many building companies went out of business when the price of materials increased but their contract price couldn't.\nCashed up immigrants who can afford higher prices effectively drive locals away from places to live. Homelessness is increasing in Australia.\nThe government then tries to build more social housing and pays the builders higher prices than a person building a private house can afford, which continues to increase the construction cost spiral. We now have $1M+ houses being built for people on welfare who only have to pay a maximum of 25% of their income, and that income is given to them by the government. People are better off being unemployed and living off government benefits and housing than to have a job paying less than $100k/yr.

What will Canada do, you ask? For starters, it can clear the truckload of foreign workers taking sub-par wages at job sites for my son's 3rd-year electrician apprenticeship - a job he hasn't found any work in for about 4 months now in the GTA. Yes, these workers and the companies that employ them have been illegally using the system meant for workers that cannot be found locally to hire for lower wages than Canadians. Some of them are fully qualified electricians willing to work for $22/hour - just $4.80 above minimum wage - you cannot survive on that in the GTA. So, not only do these workers steal jobs, they drive down wages. The companies need to be fined for misuse of this code.

Why are the drive bys using this one and only story? Pure emotional bs. Drivebys? Are you going to pay for this ladies welfare education and healthcare?

So much bad driving road rage is seen involving desis in the GTA area. Sad and scary. Respect and consideration for fellow people are lacking.

Please stop criticizing every ranking, every index. Look at the amount of Indian illegal immigrants almost everywhere. UK reported 1lac of them in 2024. Why do you think any country wants this!! I mean Indians are ok to die and enter other countries illegally, drive cabs, become cleaners, earn below minimum wage than to live in India. Look at the people quitting Indian citizenship every year. Pls Palki, don't make it seem that India is amazing and all is the conspiracy of the West. High networth ppl have left India. Take some ownership. Criticism of your country for good doesn't make you bad. Waise bhi GDP me top bhi ho jaae aur per capita income low rahe toh koi danka nhi baj rha hai desh ka..

can't give an opinion about living in USA, because I never stayed for long (only for vacations or short visits), but as a visitor, I used to go once or twice a week in the 90's (I used to live 5 minutes drive from the border), as a visitor, I was always welcomed and made friends very easily. Of course, being only a visitor, I didn't have to experience day to day life or any major problems. About police presence, I guess it depends where you go in USA, I'm from Montreal & we also have a very visible police presence (guess it's common in bigger cities). Didn't have any problems with police in USA, like everywhere, if you comply, you'll have good relationship with policemen. If you try to play or disrespect them, you're in for some trouble--no different here in Canada.

India is a big country. Indians in America are the highest earning ethnic group for good reason. Their education and employment backs it up. However, the illiterate bunch that Canada imported from Punjab who by trade are farmers, truck drivers, taxi drivers and other labor intensive workers, is the reason why Canadians are pissed. The majority of the “students” barely speak English, which makes you wonder if the IELTS is even legit. Add the fact that cost of living is through the roof, Canada is a shitshow. The blame goes to: a. India b. Canada \n\nIndia is to blame for not having oversight over these so called “consultants” who help with immigration abroad. These agencies work with fake schools to allow so called students to emigrate. \n\nCanada is at fault for not doing their due diligence when issuing visas. Trudeau is a communist and single handedly destroyed Canada with his buddy, Jagmeet, by bringing all those Punjabis into Canada. Those Punjabis belong on a farm or driving a truck in India, not in Canada. Smart Indians want nothing to do with Canada now and this in turn will hurt Canada grow as a nation.

Just try to visit the local market driving ur car or 2 wheeler or walking. U will understand how 'civil' we r.

The population of Indian immigrants has skyrocketed in my native California since 2000. There are many lovely Indian people living here. But many are arrogant Tesla drivers that dont drive safely and act like they own the world. I slammed my breaks on once because a dog ran into the street and I didn’t want to hit it. And the Indian man behind me rear-ended me (which is completely his fault because he was riding too close behind.) He was furious and his response was “you should’ve hit the dog.” He kept saying it was my fault for stopping in the road and wouldn’t give me his insurance. I almost hit him, but instead I called the cops so they’d force him to give me his insurance.

I can tell you exactly why Indias are being rejected.\nIndian’s don’t have self awareness or respect for other cultures when they go to other countries..\nExamples: driving skills, dancing in the streets, noise violations, fire crackers littering on streets and no respect for laws.

Mainly it's cultural, and the way we behave, and world knows how we live, because other countries knows all this THRU SOCIAL MEDIA ......WE NEED TO IMPROVE ON ALL FRONTIERS Mainly we lack civic sense, foreign countries knows how we behave, how we eat,how we drive, we no different than Bangladesh...

If these people are here illegally how do they get Driving License, Homes, work, the immagration is helping them business, they should be jailed.

Ok\nGoodbye!\nI can drive you and a bunch of your friends to the airport if you like.

Bcoz we are highly qualified well skilled , high tec literate , well mannered .\n local populations cannot stand any where in comparision ........\nOnly indian & chinese immigrants are driving US \nOnly jews n chinese can match the indians

Thank you for bringing this to the forefront. Also, I think what is equally if not more damaging is that our experience of Indians is that they cheat. Whether a driving school, moving company or other business, they are well known to bypass regulations and swindle Canadians. Demanding overcharges at the time of delivery etc. If there is a scam running, they are involved. In about 2004 almost every Indian real estate agent in Alberta had their license pulled because they were proven to be involved in mortgage fraud on a massive scale. Not to mention we can no longer enjoy peace and quiet in our own homes without having some Indian calling us from India, trying to plant viruses on our computer, steal our life savings, or otherwise do as much damage to Canadians as they can. If there is a way to cheat the government or cheat on immigration, they will have their hand in it. I will not even talk to an Indian on the phone anymore - period! As a general rule, Canadians have learned that they can't be trusted.

Canada and the US deserve it for allowing so many Indians over... I went on a road trip recently and have never seen so many rude truck drivers, driving recklessly, driving drunk. \n \nThis India guy is not being honest, they are angry at Canadians and hating them. Indian scammers make a fake university and start admitting Indians on student visas and open the door to millions of scammers. The Western world need to realize, Punjabis and Indians are very adept at scams, they are in a honest society and taking full advantage

The reality of being a muslim is that you poison everything around you, the Jews could make the desert bloom, the Gazans created a shit-hole, received billions and billions in foreign aid which they used to set up a terrorist organization, received/demanded free water, electricity, fuel, and work permits from Israel, and then bombed, shot, beheaded and raped in return.\n\nBy their deeds shall ye know them. They repaid Europe’s hospitality in the same way, as did they Jordon and Lebanon. They are second-class human beings, manimals, who are steeped in jealousy and bitterness, whose whole religion is steeped in hatred, misogyny, violence and vengeance. They are a people who were offered a two state solution five times and refused it but then had the pure arrogance to beg, demand and take, take, take from Israel. They were given water, fuel, electricity, medical care, their sewage taken care of, work permits given to their citizens so that they could work in Israel. Nothing would satisfy them but the complete annihilation of the Jewish race.\n\nGet rid of them from Europe, we’d appreciate the lack of bombings, rape, crime, gangs and the constant drip, drip, drip of their islamic vitriol. They are constantly protesting, rioting, and demanding more, more, more.They have proven time and again that they are nothing but moochers, murderers, rapists, criminals and thieves, let us treat them as such and ban them from our shores. The peace and quiet would be wonderful, send them to which ever unlucky ‘stan would have them, and leave them to rot in their own hate and vitriol. They are nothing but a cancer on every country that offered them succour, the time has come to both recognise and admit that fact, if we are too afraid to do so we will suffer the fate of the countries that took them in and offered them sanctuary. In Europe Sweden, France, Germany and the UK come to mind, in the Middle-East Jordan and Lebanon.\n\nWe are fools if we refuse to learn from history, would Europe welcome back the German Nazis again and give them free rein AND the financial aid necessary to rerun their genocidal drive to annihilate the Jews, the Roma, The Disabled, The Gay etc? I think not so then why do we accept the Arabs/muslims and their similar hate-filled philosophy while, unlike with Nazi Germany, also giving them a home in our countries, giving them free housing, education, medical care, financial help, all of which they repay with terrorism and worse and all at the cost of our own people who're in similar need. Send them home and blockade the Mediterranean. We don’t need them and never will.

I lived in the Florida Keys and loved it but the bumper stickers that said Yankees go home made me wonder how they felt about Canadians. I was injured at work and was taken to the hospital were work paid the hospital bill but when the nurse said go to the drugstore and buy a bandage they will be cheaper then if I put one on you. That was a rude awaking as to where I was.\nThe next was I was living with a nurse and at the hospital they brought in a person that had no ID on him. He had been in a terrible car accident but with no ID they would not treat him ,so he died. Turned out he was a Doctor from Key West driving to Miami . The hospital staff were in shock they had let one of their own die. In Canada they would operate first and worry about money or insurance later.

American here. Can’t say they act like that where I live. The worst they do here is raise the grades, reduce violent crime and my personal complaint- They drive the speed limit. That will wind up giving me high blood pressure. Good thing they’re mostly doctors here.

So education NOT Required!! Kearn Truck Driving?

Stop shitting on our beaches\nStop driving trucks illegally \nLearn English \nStop acting like you deserve anything \nGo home

This cycle is harmful to both India and host countries, and it needs to change. \n \nTake Canada, for example: diploma mills are issuing record numbers of student visas to Indian nationals (mostly from Punjab and Haryana), whose primary goal isn’t education but job. They use student visas as a pathway to work permits and eventual permanent residency. Many refuse to assimilate or respect Canadian culture and values, creating tensions with the Canadian public. This has led to growing xenophobia, political pressure to tighten immigration policies, and resulting in international students across the board facing deportation after their studies. \n \nIn Singapore (where I'm from), we’ve also observed a similar trend over the years. Individuals from India often enroll in short, diluted, and overpriced postgraduate diploma programs designed primarily to attract indian foreigners. These programs serve as stepping stones to secure student visas and, eventually, local jobs. While many return home after a few months without success, those who secure jobs often refuse to assimilate. Instead, they create workplace tensions to drive out the locals, and once they got onto managerial positions, often conduct preferential hiring towards people of their own ethnicity / village. \n \nThis trend must stop. \n\n1. Someone who has a desired skill, and are ready embrace other cultures, should apply work visa. \n2. Someone who is a scholar, or geniunely wishes to study in foreign university, should apply student visa. \n3. Someone who is a mediocre opportunist who wants a quick backdoor to a job or permanent residency in other country, should not disguise themselves as a student. \n \n\nNot that hard.

They talk about alcohol while there Muslim brothers drive around tower hamlets delivering smack and crack 24hrs a day most of there business r fronts that wash the money then the money is sent back home to there home country’s
