Aren't these the conditions Pres. Trump has requested, \n1 Secure Canadian border\n2 Fentinol out of here\nOr face 25% TARRIFS \nWhy is this so hard for Canada to comply?\nInstead our premiers are running around like the sky is falling instead of fixing what's broken. Guess it's TARRIFS then.\nIs our government corrupted in making \n$$$ on insecure border and Fentinol. \nHmm

Good job ICE come in legally and everything will be great we came here 25 years a go legally no problem

Deport Punjabis the more the better!!! They take all the jobs. Not only that deport Eritreans and other non-educated black people who do not assimilate to Canadian culture. Even Muslims too who were not vetted properly. Some are terrorists and were granted Canadian citizen. That is what a 25 percent tax mean on February 1, 2025. There worst nightmare will come true. Just like the man from Haiti who was deported immediately. He said thank you to Biden and Obama. Forget it they don't care. They just want the votes and the money! Canada will do the same!

So for the border control to do their job all it took was a threat of 25%?

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.

Ship em back, and send Trump the bill for the Canadian resources wasted, plus a 25% Tariff...

Indian population growth is out of control, 25 million a year, 250 million every 10 years, There are too many Indians everywhere in the world and people are starting to notice that.. Reduce your population and you will have a better life and image across the globe.

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.

My American friends paid $25,000 for their first child. In Toronto our first cost $28. That was $4 a day for 7 days of TV!

How about Canada should use BOUNTY HUNTERS on the border area. \nNo more illegal crossing, guarantee, and the 25% tariff is gone

An average Canadian after compulsory deductions and rent ends up with only 10% as disposable income. In the great capitalist nation of USA after compulsory deductions and rent an average American has 30-40 % income. In addition due to the socialism our per capita income is only 72% of the great capitalist nation of USA. This implies that for every disposable dollar an American has we have only 25 cent. Now we are 10% of US population so for every $1 of disposable market they offer us we offer them 2.5c worth of market \n \nHow can such one sided unequal deals work? It is obvious one party is looting its own citizens and that is not enuff so it has to loot the American consumer with higher disposable income and also students/immigrants from grower saver, efficient and productive economies. And obviously that party was elected by 2 cities and China. And obviously how long will agenda of loot work specially when 100% of looters suffer TDS

Canada is a poor country , India has 7% growth economic per year for 17 837 billions dollars american and in 2035 for 25 0000 billions , white Canadian who has racism on indian canadian DON'T GO IN INDIA AT INDO ARYANS , you will have a lot of problems ???

More wars more loot and women and more loot and women more wars. The question to ask is why muslims are always at war with everybody around them?\n\n\nThe answer is in quran 9:29 that exposes Islam for what it is a political movement cleverly disguised as a religion.\n\n\nThey initially come as a peaceful religion but Once They are in power they suppress and crush all other opposing voices and install an Islamic government like in Iran Afghanistan Sudan which were very vibrant flourishing democracies with equal rights for women and others but not anymore. \n\n\nThey have become breeding grounds to launch attacks in free countries and murder innocent people.\n\n\nThese hypocrites will say they don't approve of terrorism but will do absolutely nothing to stop radicalization nor ever condemn or punish these in the Muslim ruled countries\n\n\nIn order to be a Muslim: you have to be willing to ignore all of these facts about Muhammad.  \n\n\n?Muhammad Married a child :\n\n??????\n\n•Sahih Muslim Book 008, Hadith Number 3309\n\n•Sahih Bukhari Volume 005, Book 058, Hadith Number 234\n\n•Sahih al-Bukhari 3896, 5134, 5158,\n\n•Sunan an-Nasa'i 3255, 3256\n\n•Sunan Abi Dawud 2121\n\n•Sahih Muslim 1422 a, b, c, d\n\n•Sunan In Majah 1876\n\n\n?Suggested fondling children:\n\n•Sahih Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Hadith Number 17.\n\n\n?Caught having sex with slave in wife’s bed:\n\n•Quran & Jalal - Al-Jalalayn 66:1\n\n\n?Promised Full breasted houris in paradise:\n\n•Quran 78:31-33, 56:22, 55:56\n\n\n?Promised Big lustrous eye’d houris in paradise:\n\n•Quran 2:25, 36:55, 44:54, 55:56, 55:72, 56:22, 56:35, 78:33\n\n\n?Promoted Prostitution:\n\n•Sahih Muslim 1406 g\n\n\n?Made it lawful for Muslim men to have sex with married women:\n\n•Quran 4:24\n\n\n?Said women have a deficiency in their mind:\n\n•Sahih al-Bukhari 2658\n\n\n?Said women are half the testimony as a man:\n\n•Sahih al-Bukhari 2658\n\n\n?Made racist remarks:\n\n•Sahih al-Bukhari 3268, \n\n•Sahih Bukhari Volume 9, Book 89, Hadith Number 256, \n\n•Sahih Muslim 510 a, \n\n•Ishaq 243\n\n\n?Owned & Traded black slaves:\n\n•Sahih Muslim Book 10, Hadith Number 3901,\n\n•Sahih Bukhari Volume 6, Book 60, Hadith Number 435,\n\n•Sahih Bukhari Volume 9, Book 91, Hadith Number 368,\n\n\n?Was bewitched:\n\n?‍♂️Sahih Bukhari Volume 004, Book 053, Hadith Number 400.\n\n?‍♂️Sahih Bukhari Volume 008,\n\nBook 075, Hadith Number 400.\n\n?‍♂️Sahih Bukhari Volume 004, Book 054, Hadith Number 490\n\n?‍♂️Sahih Bukhari Volume 007, Book 071, Hadith Number 660\n\n?‍♂️Sahih Bukhari Volume 007, Book 071, Hadith Number 661\n\n?‍♂️Sahih Bukhari Volume 007, Book 071, Hadith Number 658\n\n\n?Was suicidal:\n\n•Sahih al-Bukhari 6982\n\n\n?Had No miracles:\n\n•Quran 7:188, 6:37, 29:50\n\n\n?Was Gay:\n\n•Sunan Abi Dawud 5224\n\n\n?Was a sinner:\n\n•40:55, 47:19, 48:2\n\n\nhttps://youtu.be/Wy__QxSYIJU?si=MwVDSaHaGkdpDy4b\n\n\nReligion of peace in action: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/15aUVuUE8n/

Need a lot more than 25%

Mexico’s Economic Apocalypse: My Personal Analysis\n\nThe imposition of a 25% tariff on all Mexican imports by the United States would be nothing short of an economic death sentence for Mexico. As someone deeply concerned about the integrity of U.S. borders, sovereignty, and the well-being of American citizens, I believe this tariff is both justified and necessary. Mexico has repeatedly ignored its responsibilities as a neighbor, and it is time for accountability. Let’s examine the devastating impact this tariff would have on Mexico in brutal, undeniable detail.\n\n\n---\n\nEconomic Collapse: A Nation on Its Knees\n\nMexico’s economy relies heavily on exports, with over 80% of its exports destined for the United States. A 25% tariff would obliterate Mexico’s competitive edge, pricing its goods out of the U.S. market. The result? A $100 billion annual loss in trade revenue—a wound so deep it would cripple the nation’s economy beyond repair.\n\nGDP Freefall: With exports constituting 28% of Mexico’s GDP, the tariff would slash growth rates and plunge Mexico into a severe recession. Entire industries would collapse under the weight of unsold goods and lost revenue streams.\n\nMassive Manufacturing Shutdowns: Mexico’s lifeblood industries—automotive, electronics, and steel—would face annihilation. Plants dependent on U.S. buyers would grind to a halt, leaving millions unemployed.\n\n\n\n---\n\nSocial and Humanitarian Crisis: A Nation in Chaos\n\nThe economic fallout wouldn’t just affect industries—it would decimate millions of lives:\n\nUnemployment Epidemic: With factories shuttered and exports decimated, unemployment would skyrocket, leaving millions of families destitute. Entire regions reliant on U.S. trade would become economic wastelands.\n\nHuman Desperation: Widespread poverty would fuel desperation, leading to a surge in crime, social unrest, and violence. Mexico’s already fragile social fabric would unravel, plunging the nation into chaos.\n\nMass Emigration: Unable to survive in their homeland, millions of Mexicans would flee to the United States, creating an unprecedented border crisis—ironically the very issue the tariff seeks to address.\n\n\n\n---\n\nFinancial Ruin: Mexico’s Peso in Freefall\n\nThe peso would face catastrophic devaluation, losing value faster than at any point in modern history. This would create:\n\nHyperinflation: Everyday goods would become unaffordable for the average citizen. The price of imported essentials—like medicine and machinery—would skyrocket.\n\nInvestor Exodus: Foreign investors, seeing no future for Mexico’s economy, would abandon the country. Capital flight would cause Mexico’s stock market to crash, sending shockwaves through the financial system.\n\n\n\n---\n\nThe Root Cause: Mexico’s Negligence\n\nMexico has brought this apocalypse upon itself through years of neglect and willful inaction:\n\nIllegal Immigration: Mexico has consistently allowed massive waves of illegal immigrants to flow across its northern border, destabilizing U.S. communities and eroding American sovereignty.\n\nDrug Trafficking: The unchecked trafficking of fentanyl and other deadly drugs through Mexican cartels has killed tens of thousands of Americans annually. Mexico has done little to combat this epidemic, allowing cartels to thrive.\n\nBroken Promises: Despite agreements and warnings, Mexico has failed to step up as a responsible partner. Words without action are meaningless, and the time for talk is over.\n\n\n\n---\n\nWhy Trump’s 25% Tariff is Justified\n\nPresident Trump’s 25% tariff isn’t just an economic tool—it’s a weapon of justice aimed at holding Mexico accountable for its negligence. Here’s why this move is essential:\n\n1. Securing U.S. Borders: Mexico’s failure to stop illegal immigration has forced the United States to act decisively. This tariff will compel Mexico to finally enforce its borders and prevent illegal crossings.\n\n\n2. Protecting American Lives: The flow of drugs like fentanyl must stop. By crippling Mexico’s economy, the tariff weakens the cartels that profit from this deadly trade.\n\n\n3. Economic Leverage: The U.S. is Mexico’s largest trading partner. Without access to the American market, Mexico’s economy collapses. This leverage ensures Mexico has no choice but to comply with U.S. demands.\n\n\n\n\n---\n\nA Brutal but Necessary Move\n\nYes, this tariff would cause unimaginable suffering in Mexico, but that suffering is a direct result of its government’s failures. President Trump is not to blame—Mexico is. By ignoring its responsibilities, Mexico has forced America to take a stand. The economic apocalypse that follows is the price Mexico must pay for its negligence.\n\nThis is not just about punishing Mexico—it’s about protecting the United States. It’s about securing our borders, saving American lives, and ensuring that the U.S. economy is not undermined by a neighbor that refuses to act responsibly. In the end, the 25% tariff is a painful but unavoidable reckoning for a nation that has long shirked its duties. The survival of Mexico’s economy depends entirely on its willingness to change course—and fast.

Well the rejection rate is good becz we dont need foreign country they need us \nModi ji is working 25 hours in the days super hard \nWhy do we need usa canada uk ... Ate waiting for people likes us... And modi has increased so many jobs as he promised 2 crore jobs\nAll the billionaire are saying this is india season and witness the future \nI feel modi ji should close down all the embassy and open there tax office and ration shop and addhar centre \nAnd bjp it cell office too

The only economic parameter that matters is per capita. India currently ranks 122nd in the world based in per capita (that too purchasing power included). India can be the largest economy in the world with a hopeless per capita. One day The Adanis, Ambanis and a few others will be worth 25 trillion USD themselves and India could be the largest economy in the world; yet 95% of its population will rank lower than 120th in the world. Nationalistic emotion can cloud one's judgement. Plus as an ex-Indian, here are things I see constantly - walking upto the edge of the platform to empty their noses, being obnoxious in public, spitting on the side of the road, talking to people about how the country they are in, looted India for centuries, and asking them to return the 45 trillion :D

25 million Indians travelled outbound, no one came back ?

A lot of Indians treat white people really badly. Especially when there is money involved. It’s now extremely common that people here hate dealing with Indians as customers of their business and will go as far as avoid it altogether. They will often relentlessly try to negotiate services, lie and say anything to get get their way, pester businesses until they cave to their demands and even leave bad reviews which they say they will change if you give them a good deal. None of this is the way things are done in Canada and that needs to be respected. Something kind of funny, I’ve heard many people say that Indians will often say they will refer tons of friends and family to a business if you give them an unreasonable discount (which they never do once they’ve gotten what they want), but what they don’t realize is that referring a bunch more Indians to them is the last thing that business wants. And really, some of the discounts they want on things are just ridiculous. When I was selling my car a few years ago, I had it listed for $55,000 and I got bombarded by Indians offering $20,000-$25,000 and every lie under the sun of why that’s all it was worth, other people are saying yes to offers like that for the same car, dealerships are selling them for that much and so on. Like come on. And I guess while I’m at it, I hate to say but it’s a common thing here to walk into a gas station and the smell of body odour just hits you like a brick. I’ve stopped going to 3 different stations because of it. I’m sure there’s some pungent white people out there but damn. This is on a whole other level. It literally fills the entire building.

This is a failure of the Modi government. Utter and absolute failure. Me = A licensed former immigration adviser and Former Reference Group Member of Immigration Advisor Authority of New Zealan. Experience: Over 17 years formally. Informally: 25+ years. I mean it - The first sentence.

I've been to several embassies Western and other European Non Western embassies in India over the past 25 years and most of them don't allow Indian visa applicants inside the Embassy/Consulate. Some allow Indian visa applicants only at the entrance or only inside the gate not beyond. Others allow Indian visa applicants only at the gate and you hand your application and passport to the security. It depends on what kind of visa of course. If it's for tourism or a short term visa then you're not allowed inside. If it's long term then some embassies interview you so those embassies allow. But the embassies of those very countries in countries other than India are much more open and you can actually go inside the embassy and speak to consular officers etc. In India in most Western embassies and even some Non Western embassies you cannot do that unless you're applying for long term visa or immigration etc.

Stop having kids if you cant take care of them indias problemas are not the worlds problem over 28 million indians have fled india and even renounced their indian citizenship shamefull \n\nThe 25 million who traveled abroad did the come back ???\n\n5th largest economia where 90 % of Indians are poor ?????? all trying to flee India as they hate India\n\nThe West doesn't rely on Indian talents Indians rely on the the western companies they work for for dirt cheap by the way ?

25 million Indians traveled overseas, but how many are coming back?\nThere you have it.

Indian Government should voluntarily help countries to deport illegal Indian immigrants. Though majority of Indians travel abroad for holidaying , around 25% of them try to illegally settle in host countries . This is not just problem of Indians, even Pakistanis & Bangladeshis also has same mentality. Hence GOI should bring in strict rules and mechanism to stop illegal migration from India . This will boost confidence on Indian passport .

Increase PPP. The day it will be $25,000, countries will put red carpet. \nBut $25k PPP even possible for India with communist policies ??

Indian Economy is still a generation away to develop i guess is 25=30 years, till then people try to move to countries where they can earn more money.

Honestly which countrycan accomodate more than 25 million indians.\n\nIndians must fix their country??

Trump is such a dumbass. He thinks the tariffs will be paid by exporting countries like Mexico, China, and Canada. The Trump tariffs will be paid by American manufacturers and American consumers. Everything is about to become a lot more expensive in the US, especially with a 25% tariff on the 4.5 million barrels of oil Canada ships to the US every day. At best, inflation becomes a bigger problem, and Americans lose their jobs. At worst, Trump's tariffs cause a made in America recession.

Canada should stop paying Pension and all benefit who not work in Canada 25% people going back his own country

May be late but i am considering for living some years and working there ( i am 25 now) is it viable to have good savings and good future there ?

Yes I was, after Trump got elected no. Disabled human rights are horrible here and as compensation for lawsuits can be capped in cases that is unlikely to change. I should state the government had to pay me $25,000 dollars for violating my rights (this cost me $35,000+ in legal fees!) so I know of what I speak. It was the same when I moved provinces. In terms of mobility my fate was better in the 4 third world countries I visited after my stroke, there are no busses in loads of places here as we can’t “afford” them. Also I should state the government tried to make me site an NDA that would not allow me to state their behaviour, this should be illegal where government money is concerned! On to health care…. Why do disabled people struggle to get a family doctor when they move provinces? Also why did the mother of a Ukrainian disabled kid have to go back to a country that had been invaded to get help for her child that was having convulsions? She got no help here and her child was in our system by then and her husband has been paying taxes since I got him a job here 3 day a after landing. Yes there are a lot of good Canadians but this situation has become much worse and Canadians are masters at ignoring things. There is a Ukrainian flag flying from my cabin not a Canadian one. We are NOT the 51st state and will never be but I’ve been made to feel betrayed

For me agree ....is good .pls do fast so that canada bring back as before 25 years ago .

The problem is not international students themselves; the problem lies with students who cheat the system to become international students.\n\nSecondly, no international students are promised permanent residency (PR). There is a pathway to PR, and the government should ensure it is followed. However, if a student's study or work permit expires, they must leave as they declared when applying for the permit. Canada understands that individuals from developing nations may not want to return home, and that is understandable. But the proper process must be followed.\n\nI agree that the Canadian government has made mistakes. However, international students also took advantage of the system, which I can understand. The government should never have allowed international students to obtain work permits so easily. They should have been required to complete their studies, secure a job offer, and only then apply for a work permit. This would be the point at which their PR process could begin.\n\nWhat the government did instead was detrimental to Canadians. By allowing international students to get work permits immediately, bring their spouses, and provide work permits to them as well, they created challenges. Students should focus on studying first, graduating, and then finding a job—just as it used to be.\n\nThe government should create regulations requiring all publicly funded colleges and universities to cap the fees charged to international students. These institutions should only be allowed to charge a maximum of 15% to 25% above the fees for local students. Charging exorbitant amounts was essentially a form of robbery, exploiting international students with the false hope of permanent residency (PR), which is never guaranteed.

Cut it down 100% now why are we cutting it down 25% over 3 years it is ilegal

25 are in a Brampton home.\n4.9 million are international students

hay Justin tell this story to Trump when you are going to deal with the 25% terrif

9:25 it is true that it can take some Time to be able to see a doctor/specialist but any Canadian will be treated, an American may die if his/her insurance company refuse to cover test and/or treatment

25 more days and your all going home! Hope you enjoyed your free vacation on the American tax payers.

I go in home of Canadian born in Canada working as handyman maintenance services I never saw any of them lie to me in 25 years ? I go to immigrants home ? sometimes I meet people ?\nIs bett don't bring any more at all.

Besides the problems at the border President Trump also wants to get a better trade deal that is why he is using the 25 % tariff to negotiate better security and trade deal. Also under President Trump and fuel prices will come down quite a bit so transportation costs will be cheaper so even if he adds a 25 % tariff it will not be as bad as you think it will be

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.

The government needs to fine the businesses at least $25,000 per person. Because they’re hire undocumented workers very cheap labour. Go to Brampton going into Indian companies and restaurants. There alots of undocumented workers.

Is it a joke that 25 percent of Canada would join the USA strictly because of mass immigration and inflation? Healthcare and crime? I don’t think so.

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.
