A Call to Unity Against Intolerance\n\nWe stand at a critical juncture in our nation's history. The incoming administration presents a unique challenge, one that demands a united front from all marginalized groups. A narcissist's playbook is well-known: isolation, manipulation, and a disregard for the needs of others. We cannot afford to be divided and fall victim to these tactics. \n\n\nOur Strength Lies in Unity\n\nTo counter this threat, we must prioritize community building. We must forge strong bonds across diverse groups, recognizing our shared experiences of marginalization and discrimination. A Shared Goal: Ending Intolerance While we may have different specific goals and agendas, we are united by a common purpose: to eradicate intolerance in all its forms. By marching together, we demonstrate the power of a diverse coalition committed to equality, justice, and human rights.  \n\n\nThe Inevitable Awakening\n\nAs the true nature of the incoming administration becomes increasingly apparent, we must be prepared to support one another. We will build a resilient network to guide our nation through the darkness and emerge stronger than ever. We need a coalition so strong that we can band together and bring power to our government that acts in the people's best interests.\n\n\nOur Time to Act\n\nThe time for passive resistance is over. It's time to take decisive action. Join a group or 2 fighting for your rights and stand with us Together, we will be the beacon of hope, love, and truth that pierces through the lies. This is more than just one March this is a movement and are marching orders are clear. We must stop intolerance by showing we are stronger together: our rights, our fight. Jan 18th is the People's March and the movement begins. Please share these words. Let us  build the movement.

This is why you should not watch CNN or any of the legacy media. These people don’t have a clue. They distort the facts, they are hypocrites on their policies . They don’t want fair and equal justice. They are ok with corrupt government and elections, high crime, high taxes, high inflation. They love the deep state and they are terrible liars.

If you want to make some money buy natural gas and vote for a Democrat and wait for the high energy cost ???some people love the inflation plans

Of course it'll strain in Canada! Trudeau will welcome all the hard case criminals Trump scares to the Canadian border!\nWhat else would you expect from Trudeau?. Trump loves & protects, his people. Trudeau doesn't care about Canadians. He's already filled the country with historic incompatibles! We'll all pay the high price for that fk-up in the not to distant future!

Now that we know how you Cubans feel. I hope for generations you understand that you have cost yourself millions and billions of potential dollars in tourism for your communities in the future. That’s why the south and Texas will have to cry their own river to deal with what they have created for themselves. The future citizens of the world who look down on Trump and the type of people who vote for him don’t want to come to Florida anymore. We’ll fly all the way to Italy or Africa or the Caribbean. \nSame for other warm states. I could visit them as a wealthier American, but I simply won’t and never will now. That’s okay. \n\nNew York and liberal blue states will always be loved by the world and you all will be looked at as the trash no nothing drop outs who can’t make it in big cities because you’re just not good enough.\n\nIt’s fine to be upset about that, but giving the country over to someone who is cozy with Putin and our enemies? When Russia sits on our national grid again and threatens to turn it off if we don’t follow its demands we’ll see how in control of your country you really are.

I'm moving to Canada ... somewhere. It's very confusing. \nWhat would be nice would be a check off list for each territory (you could do it FIRST) with features. \nAccess to water within 10 miles \nCity library \nMuseum \nSnow removal \nGood schools \nPastry shops (I know this isn't a priority, but if you make the system easy enough people will do it for you.) \nRental prices more than 2,000 \nRental prices more than 1,000 \n \nGet the idea? \n \nI'm retired, financially well off, love reading, no kids (or grandkids) does Canada want me to move in, spend my money? Then make it easier. \n \n!I could click off my choices and have a list of small towns / villages.\n\nI have 6 pages of scribbled notes so far

Oh please, in Canada all Pakistani Indian Chinese and all African people are loved by Trudeau. Canada just doesn't want Latinos. They do not fit the liberals agenda.

NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. Despite all the rhetoric on immigration, the truth is that Republicans love slave labor and that's why they have scuttled efforts whenever it came to actually halt illegal immigration. \nIt is also why they are opposed to abortion, homosexuality, contraception, sex education, education in general - because none of these activities add to the population. Educated people tend to have fewer children. Uneducated people will have more children, will be more economically oppressed, and are less aware of their rights as citizens.

CNN this is where you can bring your ratings back up with your TDS love watching you people meltdown???

I’d love to see these people re interviewed in 4 years time ?? , you’ll reap what you sow america , suck it up

You want to bet he's going to implement the same laws that the bipartisan agreement was on what he's going to do is just more chaos calamity it's going to be a total madhouse who the f*** is he kidding yeah it's going to go real smooth about as smooth as any of his f****** goddamn businesses like he said he loves the ignorant but not the poor not the needy not the sickly the most unchristian piece of s*** walking on this Earth ? and to top it off he's not really that f****** sharp I mean if you f****** read what he says you got to scratch your head if you see his actions you see how incompetent he is I've been watching this full since his father was in business back in the seventies another f****** piece of s*** turd goddamn slumlord racist piece of crap if Nixon told you to clean up your act you know there's something not right there blatantly they always were to find always acting like they did nothing wrong seems to have worked for him he's got these morons convinced years ago he made the statement City people are too slick country people are too slow like the song says blinded by the light shaking that shiny thing in front of them

It is sad when people are so brainwashed. God wants us to repent of our sins, have agape love and unite. Trump does not represent either. Trump does not even want anyone that's not his race to be here. Project 2025 will mess up a lot of people. They will have sincere regrets for their vote. You should know that a person is dangerous when they can deceive not only Christians, but people with PHD's. The only hope we have is 2Chronicles 7:14. Don't put our faith in Trump, but in Jesus. Only Jesus can heal our racist, divided and dark land. Only the love of Jesus in our hearts can make America Great.

I don’t support his racist rhetoric AT ALL but I would love to see him put her on the first thing smoking away from the US. People like her who enable his racism are dangerous. Have some pride about yourself lady. Sheesh. ?

Is this guy talking about immigrants or illegal immigrants? . it that trump said that he likes people coming into the country except those who are here illegally , we do love people come to our country too but much be legally if you are come here illegally just get the hell out . That is what the plan for those illegal immigration you have ears so you much hear the world ILLEGAL. We do care about immigration we jusg don't care about those illegal immigration that all .

According to Christie Freeland we have nothing to worry about. We are set up to deal with this increase of people. I love Canada. I truly don’t want to see it be destroyed. Import third world people and problems, become third world. Simple as that.

I can tell all the comments on this panel were made by President Trump's haters. Love all God's Creation, but, please, watch out for your neighbor. Help everybody you can, including the animals. All these people don't have to be in this Country. They have their own, why can't they make their country a much better place for them and their families to live. Look at the way they are acting. They came as guest, now they are acting like they are the owners. Are you so blinded by hate for this man who loves his Country so much, that you can't see the danger we are in with this illegals in our Country? What are you going to do when you won't have a place to live with your families or can't pay for your needs, because there are no housing or jobs, because everything that belong to you were given to them? What about the crimes they are doing in our communities. They are not here to HELP US, they are here to take what it's ours and replace us. There's not any worse than a blind, who don't want to see. These people are destroying our Beautiful Country and all we can do is hate this President, who the only thing he wants to do is save it for us. He doesn't need anything, we do need and we have to take care of what we have or we will lose it. Oh, by the way, we can't go to their Countries and live there, because they hate Americans. And we are a bunch of ingrates and don't appreciate the Blessings that God Almighty gifted us and President Trump is one of those Blessings, in Jesus Name, AMEN.

This people love scammers like that's big beautiful wall ? that didn't stop Anything ? that's why he got elected again millions cross because there never a wall ? ?

Funny these people will be the first to go. Low hanging fruit basically screaming deport me! Funny they’re really gonna love what’s next! They sure deserve it

She does realize her green card can be revoked and she too will be sent back right along with her family. So basically when people come here they lose all kinds of care for other people because our society and culture lacks love and care. Cool.

I was in miami when a cuban man washed up on two tubes tied together with a guitar wrapped in banana leaves. I fed him. He was starving. A dog immediately adopted him. He walked off thankful stating that he had family that he was going to find. The dog followed. I was just standing there in awe. I also taught English as a second language to refugees. The cubans in the program won the lotto. Not sure if they still do that. I loved my cuban students. They were my favorite people. These stories are both from the late 90s.

Trump may have won the 2024 election, will be sworn in on Jan 20, 2025 to become the 47th U.S. President, but Trump isn’t my president. Allow me to explain. There are certain attributes that define a U.S. president. A U.S. president places the citizens of this country ahead of his own personal interests. Trump doesn’t do that (hasn’t done that). Trump is self serving. On Jan ’21, Trump became an insurrectionist. Many citizens and police officers were injured and one police officers lost his life. According to the Constitution (the Supreme Court disagrees with me), Trump incited citizens to overthrown the certification of the 2020 election. Insurrection is one of the lowest acts any American can do, let alone a U.S. President. Trump states that the “insurrection” falls under immunity for “official acts”. Since when is “insurrection” an “official presidential duty”? Trump is a known Master Liar. This is beyond a moment when a president estimates, guesses and exaggerate numbers, figures and facts. Trump just lies – over 2k+ lies. Trump cannot be trusted in telling Americans the truth. Every time Trump opens his mouth, a lie flies out! Trump doesn’t appear to be able to help himself. One lie after another. Spreading the lie that the 2020 election was “stolen” and not providing legal evidence is an unforgivable act that Americans should #NEVER forget. MAGA, selected GOP, Christian Nationalists don’t appear to be troubled that Trump cannot tell the truth. To me, the truth strengthens the bond of trust – I have NO Trust for Trump! MAGA, Christian Nationalists and some selected GOP – I may use big words that you don’t comprehend such as: Liar, Convicted Felon, sexual misconduct, Insurrection, Fraud, election interference, Unauthorized Possession of classified documents. These are some, not ALL, of the words that defines Trump and his actions. These things do NOT appear to cause any concerns with the 71.2m people who cast their vote in the Nov 5th ’24 presidential election. Trump had unauthorized possession of classified material. (I am not certain what Classified Material Trump possessed, but if these documents would put my friends, my family and I in harm’s way – it’s a problem.) Again, those who voted for Trump, the 71.2m people, #NEVER thought about this. If they had, Trump would #NEVER have received their vote. America has a short attention span. How quickly have we forgotten that Trump’s inaction of Covid-19 could have prevented many from becoming ill and millions losing their lives. (If one of your loved ones have passed due to Covid-19, you will remember Trump’s inability to deal and handle the situation. It is something you will #NEVER forget.) I will not write a book here, but the listed reasons above is why Trump may be the 47th President of the United States, but he isn’t my president. My president would have #NEVER done these things to an American.

I love how the people from immigrant families are like “f*ck everyone else” as soon as they get citizenship

People commenting here fail to realize that Latinos are arguably more conservative than the white men they love to hate. Those who voted for Trump did so because they are legal immigrants/citizens, aka, Americans. Aside deportation of ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS benefiting them directly, they are also not down with the other Democrat platforms like Abortion and Trans/Gay advocacy. They are majority Catholics.\nThat voting block should never be majority Democrat in the first place, esp this current version of elitist Democrat party.

Don't listen to the media, they just reporting it to make it look sense. Let's look at the facts. Kamala Harris had the momentum, full rallies, support from Republicans, 60% of women's support, raised 1 Billion dollars, won the debate, endorsed by so many people, enthusiasm among democrats vs Trump empty rallies, losing support from Republicans and Maga supporters, was losing 100k votes against Nikki Haley, insulted the Puerto Rican who were keys voters in Pennsylvania plus in 2020 Biden won by 81 MILLION VOTES vs Trump 74 MILLION VOTES and you are going to tell me That Trump swept all the swing states including Pennsylvania with more than 150k votes and Georgia with 100k more votes when last time he lost by 11,000 and now Trump won by 72 MILLION VOTES AND Kamala ONLY HAD 67 MILLION VOTES? That's 14 MILLION LESS VOTES. Really? Who she was running against to JESUS? A RED WAVE? Maybe if Democrats and Indenpent were so upset with Obama. Biden, Kamala Michelle, and Republicans were so in love with Trump I could see A red wave BUT that was not the case. GTFOH with Trump winning this big like he was Ronald Reagan. FBI needs to Investigate this before they all get fired when Trump takes office and shut down the investigation like they did in 2016

I truly love and am also sometimes very jealous of the parties & celebrations of my many Latino neighbors. These people throw down. I’ve been graciously invited to several over the years, drinking, eating, talking, dancing & learning until the wee hrs. Always an amazing & humbling time. Great neighbors, always looking out for each other. \nI was however a little shocked to go outside at 2am following election results to find a full on Latino trump block party. Flags, hats & all. \nI was offered but made up some excuse to deny having a shot of tequila this time. Looked fun, food smelled delicious. \nI just couldn’t hang out at that moment. It was too unnerving, and my heart was literally hurting. \nAll Love!! Just confusing & disappointing ?‍♂️?

Im LOVING it, maybe consequences may wake up people.

Hey CNN , we the people think ya be better off moving to Gaza . We know you will have better luck over there and the IDF will love to give y’all a tour of Gaza ..

I still can't understand Hispanic people who support Trump. To him EVERYONE with an accent is an illegal that needs to go back where they came from. I'm from an area with an ass load of Puerto Ricans. And a nonzero number of them love Trump for some reason.

LOL !!! No one wants to love there because it so crowded with people who want to live there.

You are hateful people, I have been to many countries and everywhere you are just hateful. \n\nAlso you love to take and learn from others, but you have absolutely nothing to teach.\n\nYou never accept any accountability in your negative ways, I can't even put up all the things you do, bottom line you are not nice people.

MAGAts are such lovely people ?

It’s been truly enriching to learn about your thoughts on Canada, your experiences, and the journey of your life—from childhood, youth, and up to the present day. You’re one of those inspiring people who generously share their experiences with others, and I’m grateful that you’re doing so. We’re all learning from one another through this exchange.\n\nPersonally, I love to travel and prefer learning through experience over reading books. Observing the world is my way of gaining knowledge. Your videos, journeys, and travel experiences have taught me so much. I extend my warmest wishes to you—life has no fixed destination; the journey itself is the most beautiful part, and it should always continue. With heartfelt good wishes, salaam!

I'd love to argue with everyone but i have alot of work to do, just wanted to say, hate the game not players, majority of people coming from india works on labor jobs and if unemployment gets increased in that sector that means you are no better than any of one you are pointing out, nevertheless, thanks in end, because i meet with many people outside and they are not as racist as i see here,...

Comes from being used as a meat shield in a foreign country or being used a punching bag as a k*d by you loving innocent people that would NEVER ever eeeevvveeerrr send disabled people to die.

The PM loves lots of Immigration because he wants to CHANGE the vast amounts of people in this Country. All the Canadians that have lived here for decades will move out and he will be the Leader of a nation of Indians and Chinese. He will then be able to dress like they do and have the Culture they have. Probably enjoys Chinese & Indian Food too! Yum, yum...

Canada doesn't want Hindus but loves lovely Arabs and handsome Pakistani \nNo Bagels or Indian \nThey love White skin people

Wow! Trump has brainwashed these Hispanics. Trump will put Hispanics in camps. They cannot deport all those people so they will be put in camps like what Hitler did. What makes this woman think Steven Miller will not deport her. MAGA is an alt right white Christian cult, if you are not white, able bodied, non Christian you will be brutally suffer. Trump calls Hispanics vermin just like Hitler brainwashed Germans to believe Jews carry disease. Trump has even used that fear mongering. Women will die because of not getting life saving D&Cs from miscarriages. D&C is what abortion is. These extreme zealot evil faux Christians are not pro life when women and children have no longer access to Obgyns. Obgyns are leaving US and med students refuse to become one because too much risk of going to jail for 20 years to save a woman and baby’s life. These MAGA are ignorant and uneducated. Trump loves the ignorant. He uses them and despises them at the sane time. He is a Putin’s friend and has ties to the Russian mafia and KGB going back to the 80’s.

Love seeing people stand up for what they believe is right.

I love this!!! Im tired of the biden administration screwing up our country! Wish more people would wake up and see the light!

Trump worshippers love Trump because they feel his policies only apply to someone else.\nLittle do they understand Dictatorships do not care about people and they will also suffer greatly under that regime ??

That old lady is absolutely and outright lying. First off, she stood in lines for hour or days to get her green card? That means she came at a time when immigration was much easier and wanted, to increase gdp and to do the jobs normal Americans didn’t want to. Now, immigration takes forever, many years in fact, because the older republican white generation figured out that they yet again the minority, which has never actually changed. But republicans now use the immigration card because it’s literally their only option, why do you think Trump stopped the bill. He would be losing so much support. Also, for that old Mexican lady to say those things about her own family, tells me, she is not someone who cares for others or may even care at all. She became a racist just like the republicans and her family should be ashamed of her. Lastly, different times of immigration, this time around, those leaving other countries are trying to save their families lives, having to deal with authoritarian dictators, drug cartels and corrupt governments. She may have had some of that, but I doubt it, she just wanted to move here and make a better life for herself, screw her loved ones. She is an abomination and one of the reasons this country has lost itself, if a Mexican immigrant cannot feel sympathy or empathy for those people in a very similar situation than that person has truly been corrupted by the republicans “all about me” mantra.

Immigration is ongoing Colonization. And Canadians are MAD, because you have allowed for people from countries with HIGH RATES of pro-sexually violent cultural views, and low standards of hygiene and politeness into our country. And you let them come here as students and take up first world spots for first world Canadians. And FYI, there is tons of sexual violence on university campuses…so that tracks. \nYou let these people who are anti-dark skin into the country, and then you say because they are “racialized” they can’t be racist. That’s not how racism works, and I want my racists to be domestic, because then at least we share a cultural thread of unity: Canadian born and raised. Why are we being subjected to this B.S?? \nGOC has not created a way for us to report immigrants who are rude or abusive to Canadians, and who have over-stayed their visas. DEPORT THEM. When they commit crimes, instead of deporting them, you let them stay. They’re old women are also crooks and in on it. Imagine bringing the people who call and scam from Indian and Nigeria to Canada so they can just do it from here. Wild. And the Chinese (not Asians, I mean the Chinese)…are the colonizers of their part of the world, AND they cheat in schools. So you’re giving graduates spots to cheaters, liars, anti-Canadian, and racists. Canada never had a diversity problem, we had a supremacy problem, and we still do. And Canadian DOES NOT MEAN WHITE. So stop making this a race thing. \nYou let them snap up our houses and our land and jack up the prices, and force us into homelessness and prostitution to pay rent, and into drug addictions because of a lack of purpose. So the GOC literally just implemented the same strategy they used to place indigenous people onto reserves, but now it’s for all Canadians. And make no mistake: high rents for bento-box “luxury”/rat infested housing are min-reserves that are not built for Canadian bodies or our aging/disabled population. \nDEPORT THEM AND REFRAIN FROM GIVING THESE ANCHOR BABIES CITIZENSHIP. If they come here to have their babies, instead of giving them a Canadian birth certificate, you should be getting that certificate from their consulate. Cause at this point that’s just trafficking and financial fraud/abuse. We all know they come here to get the benefits and the domestic tuition, and a lot go right back to China. And it does seem to be the Chinese, Indians, and Nigerians (a lovely EDI mix) of thieves. \nCanada has spoken, we don’t want them, we don’t like them; and they do not like us, they want us out of our own country. This isn’t a racial issue; this is a cultural issue. You cannot have these anti-West people in our western nation. They gotta go. And who cares about the international students anymore or the money “they bring in”. Universities are registered not-for-profits in Canada, so the for-profit argument can’t track. \nCanada needs a RICO law so we can more easily seize their assets and expel them, and hold universities to the fire for this crap, and the government officials getting kickbacks. The GOC is the largest human trafficking pimps, and the universities are bottom bi***es. And don’t think we don’t know that the 30% cap DOESN’T apply to companies like Navitas who recruit for the universities, are housed in the universities, but are separate, private companies.

Racism is a culture I don’t like that fact they think they’re superior and they’re not I would rather visit a country of color I love being black and I love people of color.

Still not enough. And too little way too late. Our small town convenience store is a total revolving door for East Indian ‘family members’. You get whiplash because every week or 10 days there is a new immigrant working there. Very poor customer service, and barely any English. Of course people get fed up! They NEVER hire local. There are lots of local older teens who can and would love to do those convenience store jobs. No following rules, no checks and accountability. It’s past being enough.

I'm Eastern European immigrant myself growing up here I love the diversity going to school amd meeting people from different walk of life. Now all you see is Indians everywhere when you have one thing of to many is never good. On top of that Indians don't assimilate in the culture like the Chinese.

It doesn’t matter to him whether you came here legally or illegally - he said you are “poisoning the blood of our country”. He only wants white people from Norway and such. You are immoral. The Bible clearly teaches to love your neighbor (not only if they are “legal”) and welcome the stranger and the refugee. There are no illegal people in God’s eyes - only human beings deserving of a better life - just like the one you came here for, and the one my Irish ancestors came here for.

What do people really want in other people's country?\nWe are all born in our own country for a reason. Stay in your country and make it work for you. I love my country, Ghana, and i won't move anywhere else?? .

Well.. they now HATE her for choosing a candidate that THEY don’t like? Now let’s think about THAT……You have families and lifelong friends that shared love and laughter for lifetimes that have now cut ties with one another because they cannot even be civil over the individual CHOICE (That word apparently only applies to one choice) to vote for who you CHOOSE to vote for…..do you understand how PAINFUL that is? People you spent your life LOVING??? You have allowed THIS and everyone wonders why people are acting so crazy and mentally ill or wacked out on drugs! When you are isolated from your loved ones, it affects your very soul as well as your mind and body. It is unacceptable. It creates THIS sort of detached statement.?

Not a chance of moving there, although the people I’ve met were lovely , albeit a bit loud and clueless about Canada. lol
