Well I guess coffee will be cheaper in Canada ?? Get ready Border towns for our neighbours to start shopping here!

Trump is starting a trade war with pretty much everyone else in the world. The US economy accounts for only 15% of the world's GDP, the rest of the world represents 85%. You have to be unbelievably arrogant to think you can win a trade war with China+Europe+Canada+Australia+South-America.

Wait on Feb 1, when start high tarifs on MX, Canada and China.

We just angered our ally countries in one week (Mexico, Canada, Spain, Greenland, Panama, Colombia). I wouldnt be surprised if some of these countries start ditching the US dollar and head over to Briccs (which already has 41% of the global population).

Canada has learned a lot from the war in Ukraine. How to take down a large and powerful naval force. Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP) who makes the Sea-Doo. Already has the expertise and production lines in Mexico that can be easily modified to build a fleet naval drones. START BUILDING THEM NOW! Canada can hide one in my garage anytime.

And so, he is just pretty much making Colombian coffee expensive for no reason at all in response to Colombia rejecting his US military flights full of immigrants. Like......what the hell, dude? What. The. Hell? Well, uhhhh......of course it's not gonna Colombia at all really. But uhhhh......\n\nIt will REALLY just only hurt the United States of America for the time being. Yep. He is hurting the very same country that he is supposed to properly govern right now, ladies and gentlemen. OK, now, he can just now even try applying economic pressure to Mexico and Canada to try and get what he personally wants. BUT in the end, it's gonna make their own products even expensive as well. So uhhhhhh, if I were Trump right now, I would just seriously put a complete stop to all of this AND start doing my job right for once.

Too little too late. Trudeau and previous governments have destroyed Canada. I doubt this country will recover. Unless we get a trump that enforces mass deportation and starts plane loads going home everyday the wages are destroyed now and skilled workers are already leaving the country. The majority of immigrants we are getting now are permanent generational welfare/child tax benefits and elderly immigrants now. Without actually requiring immigrants to have skills, speak the language, and work to support themselves Canada will be bankrupt soon enough.

Then they will seek assylum. And will be granted a permanent resident.. Liberals will give them money to start in Canada while taxing Canadians to death.

Canada needs to start doing this as well.

Canada allowed so many students to come, charging $40-50k on average, and kept bringing in more. Now they're claiming that the number of students and their dependents is the problem? IRCC marketed the pathway to PR after studies like cheese on a mousetrap. And now, with elections approaching, they've started the blame game. It's utterly idiotic. In this advanced world, do you really think the government didn’t realize how many people were immigrating here?

Canadas like the employee who starts looking busy only when the boss walks by.

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.

Doesn't Canada also have a new leader? Maybe that could be why things are finally starting to change, congrafulation Canada!!!

I am a UK citizen. I find it strange that Indian nationals claim to be 'proud' of their country, yet they all want to move elsewhere (UK, US, Canada, Australia etc). If their country is so great, then why do they want to keep going to other countries? And then there's the bureaucracy for those who want to visit destinations such as India. If India wants to impose endless paperwork and procedures to other countries, then it should expect the same. India was the one that started the childish tit-for-tat behaviour when the UK and Canada were restricting visa applications during the pandemic, so therefore India banned e-visa applications from Canadians and UK citizens. If India wants to behave like this, then why can't other nations? The UK is full of Indians who come here and don't want to integrate to our way of life etc, hence it's better for everyone if they just stayed in India.

Ms. Sharma went to Oxford and gave a cringeworthy performance about the supposed strength of Indian passport and how it is the envy of the word. So. didn't expect much substance from the propaganda spreading jingoistic journalist. She conveniently missed mentioning the real reasons why visa applications of Indians get rejected -\n1) Thousands of Indians go on tourists visas only to 'disappear' and never return. It doesn't just happen in Canada, US, UK, Aus but also welcoming countries like Thailand, UAE.\n2) Indian Visa (to visit India) itself is one of the most expensive and complicated to get for foreigners, so other countries have no incentive to make it easier for Indian citizens.\n3) Developed countries know that if they make it 'easier' for Indians to travel to their country, they will end up with tens of thousands who wont want to go back to India. It is already the case when its difficult to get a visa, imagine the situation if its made easier.\n4) Most of the Indian tourists fall under the mass category, they are not like the heavy spending Chinese tourists. We are not the most well behaved, so till we start getting more affluent, we wont be in as much demand.

Canada is starting to push back because there’s so many illegal Indians and most of them use the nation to go and live in America illegally.

A month ago, I visited a shop called AMR Fruiterie in Montreal, Canada. I asked an Indian lady about the price of a vegetable, but her response was shockingly rude. Since then, I've started avoiding this store and now prefer shopping at Metro. It’s more expensive, but the experience is worth it.

In Canada, Justin invited the Indians because Indians usually calm down, obey the rules and regulations, and follow laws. But it happened completely opposite. This is where the problem started. Besides this, Canadians have difficulty getting jobs and food. The population is very high now, and fewer jobs. It is a recession.

Majority of these stuffed in Toronto and Ontario are a result of Pierre' Trudeau's follies by letting in the undesirables from Punjab under the name of 'persecution' and there was none of that. And these vermin used the PR to bring in more illiterate kith and kin and then started a trend. I go to India regularly to this part of India and the amount of fervour to go to Canada is like fire - by hook or crook. Bogus documents presented to the Canadian embassy in Delhi, and the embassy being totally inept to tell the difference due to lack of knowledge. Crooked travel agents minting money like no tomorrow!

We wouldn't have a falling birth rate in Canada if it wasn't so expensive to get married and have children. The only reason we need immigration is because the population isn't growing internally. It's not growing internally because it's too expensive. Make it affordable to get married and have kids and Canadians will start having children again

If ICBSA wants to know where most of these deportees are they can watch the channel Firstpost and it's report about how many of them have crossed into the US via Canada. A good place to start looking is by checking out 7-11 branches in the US.

According to pwc, by 2050, top 10 economies:\nChina, India, US, Indonesia, Brazil, Russia, Mexico, Japan, Germany, UK.\nAs you can see, EU countries struggle even now. A failing country like Canada will absorb into US.\nTop 5 countries in this list have large population, hence, other countries will struggle competing with them.\n\nChinese immigrants in the west are declining and very soon most Indian immigrant too leave EU/Canada for better\nopportunities' in Asia.\nAsian countries dominate this list. So, considering this, start building more relationship with Asian nations;\nthis is your insurance for future.

Canada will no longer remain just Canada. We, Indians, will rule Canada. Our capabilities are evident as Indians are already leading in the field of technology. Canada should start preparing mentally because Indians are destined to govern Canada.

Blame butcher Modi’s rookie secret service copying Mossad carrying out Sikh assassinations in peaceful Canada that let its guard down. Now all the developed West, including Australia and New Zealand, is spitting on all things Indian. Once admired Indians, including India, is now becoming the disdain of the world. They already started the Brown Round Up in Oregon.

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

I think it’s time Canada and Mexico start being good neighbors or we will have to take them over and truly fix the problem ourselves!!

Start charging Canada for every illegal migrant caught crossing their border.

It's time to go back and help India progress and improve. That's a good start of a career with Canadian experience. \nAnd special Thanks to the Government of Canada! Finally❤❤❤❤❤

If 30,000 people have vanished into the backstreet’s of Canada then expect a major increase in crime. They will have to support themselves somehow. I wish the liberals would start answering questions and show some spine and accountability.

Once before 9/11, a mass movement had been started across the world for visa free world for the workers for their livelihood. It had been stopped due to sudden attack of US twin tower by Osama bin laden. If Canada starts to oust workers from Canada , it's totally inhuman and deprivation and discrimination as well.

Canada's Obama, only the US economy started to crash in the first month of his reign. Could not stand him. But he got reelected. Thank God presidents in the US can only serve 2 terms.

All Canadians are going to have to start carrying passports when traveling in Canada

Canada needs to start sending back. These immigrants feel that it is their god given right to be here and act like it. Turn on the news and you hear about Brampton every day. Sickening. There is a growing discontent among canadians and I fear a back lash.

Well, I can’t speak for Canada, Australia, or the UK, I know America isn’t banning Indians. I wish they would start banning the billionaires though and allow the American citizens to have a real democracy rather than the sham democracy, we currently have.

Scammers, dirty, stinky, don't simulate, not all of them but most, taking jobs from Canadians. Canada went dowhill when you started coming in big numbers. I have a to say I met some nice and decent ones but not many. This is Trudeau fault not Indians..

I came to Saskatchewan Canada as an international student in fall 2023. I did a care assistant program and was attracted to coming to Canada because I kept hearing that there is a labour shortage in healthcare in Canada. However I feel like everything just started going to sh*t in 2024 when I was finishing up my program ?.\n\n One of the things I'd like to highlight about the small towns is that they can be very biased in their hiring practices. Some of us as (black) students had a hard time getting jobs in healthcare in the town because jobs were given based on family and friend linkages (so mostly white or Filipino people got hired). Also there was a severe housing shortage. So even though locals (from my perception) wanted us to stay and work in healthcare (because they are short staffed), realistically there was no where to stay. Canada can't say it wants people in more rural areas and not improve housing in those areas as well. I have honestly been rather disappointed with Canada because I expected better planning from a developed country.

Canada should start this ASAP

INDIA TO CANADA NOT EASY TO COME .IT IS NOT LIKE LUDHIANA TO JA LLANDHAR PB..25 TO 30 LACS ONE CAN START SMALL BUSINESS IN HOME TOWN.

Strange question... Why Canadians hate you? Now you see what your people are doing in the countries of Europe... Defecating and urinating in the street... Celebrations of religious rites in a place that is not their place ... Smashing facilities.... Entering with false certificates... The recognition of most of your people that the intention is only to obtain citizenship and demand rights ... Dancing in the streets... Erasure of Canadian identity..... And this is not only in Canada but in most of the countries of Europe. You enter like poor people and then you start stirring up problems and you still ask why people hate you

But Canada don't want to catch pannu, let the canadain authority starts with pannu

1- Trudeau should be sent to India 2- stop ⛔️ all immigration programs to Canada until cleanup done 3- deport all student and temporary workers and refugees from countries where there are no conflicts or trouble 4- start cleanup of Trudeau damages, yes it’s still possible to act by retrieving permanent residence and even canadian citizenship from those who came as student, temporary workers or refugees. Only those who entered Canada as legal PR after being through the normal RP process deserve the Canadian citizenship and the RP… after all cleaning done, Canada should review all its immigration programs, and open its doors to only those groups who didn’t abuse the Canadian system example europeans

But why not Canada join the USA? \n\nWell, Canadians would have to agree. So no worries. But I would think both sides would win. But it's up to you all. Either way, I think you all will eventually get blessed. I think Canada's future will be bright either way. Now when that starts to happen, who knows. But eventually.

The good old days in Canada are over ! These people are invading our country thanks to that spoiled puppet in Ottawa. I don’t know why anybody would want to come to Canada? There’s no cheap homes anywhere unless you want to live in some little town in Newfoundland, it’s cold ,everything is expensive ,no future for young people starting out! Only survival of the fittest! My cousin came from Rome one time , she said : not even dead I would want to be here!

I’ve held my tongue on this long enough, but the writing’s on the wall — Canada is cooked.\n\nOur finance minister calls it a “vibecession”, as if we’re imagining the economy sputtering. But here’s the reality: GDP growth at 0.1%, per capita GDP down 0.5%, and youth unemployment at 13.5%.\n\nThere’s the recent bait-and-switch $250 stimulus cheque — an ill-disguised vote buying grift. It was scrapped when the government realized it would add $4.6 billion to an already projected $60 billion deficit. \n\nThrow in a two-month sales tax holiday announced without thinking about the logistics, leaving businesses scrambling. Some aren’t even participating because it’s not worth the headache.\n\nHousing starts are at a 10-year low, the housing accelerator fund has delivered zero new homes, housing prices have left wage growth in the dust, and immigration has blown past what our infrastructure can handle. \n\nMeanwhile, the CBSA isn’t bothering to track expired international student visas. After all, someone has to keep the for-profit diploma mills thriving and the service industry fully staffed.\n\nCanada Post is falling apart under strikes, crippling small businesses, and 47% of job growth in the last five years has come from the public sector while our capital markets and innovation stagnate. \n\nThe $CAD is currently plummeting against the $USD, as the Bank of Canada scrambles to firefight the government’s incompetence with two jumbo 0.5% interest rate cuts.\n\nAnd let’s not ignore the trade war brewing with our historical ally, the U.S.. Trump has made it clear he’ll punish our abysmal border policies, which have allowed fentanyl to flood into America unchecked, with a 25% tariff on Canadian exports.\n\nIf you’re trying to get ahead — building jobs, working for yourself, pooling capital to invest, why bother?— the proposed 66% capital gains inclusion rate over $250,000 punishes you for taking risks and succeeding.\n\nAsk yourself: are you happy with the state of Canada right now? Honestly. Because it doesn’t feel like the same country I grew up in, went to school in, worked in, served in, and built a business in.\n\nI’m done. For once in my life, I don’t want to be Canadian anymore.

The only problem was, for the past 20 years people of Canada and the leaders have de-activated the mathematics cells in their brains, or there was a localized numbness in the quantitative cells portion of their noodles up there. As a result they didn't understand what 99% Canadians were making per month after taxes (just simple numbers its not their fault), and the real estate mafia and grocery conglomerates started adding drugs in the foods of retail chains deteriorating the math part of the brains of Canadians further, now after 2 decades of such dedicated work by these humble bodies, everybody started waking up and discussing everywhere like these two non-native English speaking reporters ?????? ITS A JOKE NOW

Immigration needs to be limited to those who want to start a business in canada and hire canadians.

Love that White canadians crying about immigrants leaving canada and ending up in a country where they r themselves r immigrants. Wait until the natives start cussing you out

Well it's needed, they are exploiting Canada and local people in the Canada then why not. Today suppose people from any country come to India in bulk and start taking all the jobs creating more mess. India will do the same and we will ask for it from Indian government.

Being an Indian immigrant, I agree with them. Too many people were let in a shorter span of time. Most of them don’t even try to blend in and act like an entitled brat. I hope situations get better in coming years and Canada starts to prosper again. ??

Wow you missed a lot. Canada vs US re Guns, Healthcare is huge difference, Racism where do I start re US. Americans feeling they are the freest people when they are the least as most live in fear.
