This is a mistake by Trudeau and will continue to hurt Canada and Canadians until he is removed from office.

A lot of Canadians seem to want a trade war. When Americans heard that the truckers had gone to the capital Ottawa they were shocked,...mostly to learn that Ottawa was the capital of Canada. Do Canadians really think that most Americans sit up at night worrying what Castro's son will do?

Canadian here. It is time for Canada to reduce dependency on US, and increase trades with other countries and patterns. Do not be acting as an USA's puppet anymore. We are not inferior to Americans.

BTW, its not about border security with Canada, just trade imbalance and the fact that Canadians expect America to pay for their defense when we are having trouble paying the interest on the debt from the money we borrow to give you and the rest of the world. Times are changing my friend. Time to find a different sugar daddy I guess.

Why does the Canadian Prime Minister care so much about what would happen to US citizens? If it is so bad for Americans, then it is good for Canada right? So Canada should be cheering for tariffs.

Canada could have stopped the tariff war by cutting off power oil and gas instead. Counter tariffs just punish Canadian consumers

Unfortunately the Canadian government is playing right in the Trump‘s hands that’s Trump‘s game that’s his plan he wants counter tariffs from Canada so that he can up the tariffs to 100% that’s the plan because he wants to discourage companies in Canada and Mexico so that they’ll leave Canada and Mexico and come to the US he’s offering huge tax breaks to any companies that want to invest in the US. As Trump’s plan it’s like checkmate crown me king he just give him what he wants he knew it from the beginning and he said it if Canada counter tariffs the US he was put in his terrace at 100% but that’s the plan and the plan is to discourage companies in Canada so they’ll leave what they’re doing

It's amazing that most Canadians have no clue that Canada has had tariffs of 300% on most US goods for ages. Adding 25% isn't going to do anything. This is a clear overreaction by Canada. So it's now 325% compared to 300%? Whut? Trump will now raise it to 50%. Look, if Trump raises tariffs to be equal to that of Canada, it's game over for Canada.

Canada already has a failing economy. \n\nYou will likely lose the majority of Canadian auto industry for this stunt. \n\nWell I guess Detroit is coming back.

As a non-American and non-Canadian, I will collect more Lululemon & other Canadian apparels and buy Canadian and avoid American products until Trump will be gone. Canada please promote your products to other countries.\n\nCanada must promote to other countries and market more, a lot of Canadian Hollywood celebrities can help.

God Bless our beautiful Country Canada ?? ? Pray the Lord guides protects and helps the Leaders of Canada and the Canadians to stay strong united and free. What goes around comes around...how can America be great again hurting other countries, they will end up hurting themselves.

Americans don’t seem to understand that all the “cool things to do and see in the USA” you don’t need to actually live in the USA to enjoy those we can just get on a plane and fly to those places for vacation just like Americans do. We had our honeymoon on Oahu, stayed two weeks in a VRBO in Waianaie with all the native Hawaiians, rented a jeep, drove around, saw all the things, felt bad for all the service workers who live only on tips under labor laws that a third world dictatorship wouldn’t even subject its people to.\n\nNotice how all the things Canadians criticize America for it’s for being needlessly cruel and horrible to people when there’s the option to be compassionate and supportive and ethical?\n\nBut then every thing Americans criticize Canada for it’s for being “too compassionate”, “too supportive”, “too caring” when the option American say we should have taken instead was the the option of unnecessary cruelty?

So all the foreigners flood canada get a bunch of free money and free help. Raising taxes for citizen who have lived here all there lives then when those taxes get too much for them and the free help theyre given by the government. They just dip and leave all the debt on actually canadians yep canada is doomed and the govermment let THE DOOM in willingly.

I have 2 brothers that live in the US and they both enjoy living there. Yes, the medical is expensive and not as good as Canada's medical plan. But it's also true that you could get in fast all in the US. Hospitals pill to getting in to Canadian hospitals for appointments. For\n Myself, I love, the US has lot of nice cultures. And I Love all the theme parks that you guys have down there like Disneyland and hollywood theme park as well and even Hawaii.

We owe them nothing, it is OUR right to send them back. They are the reason that there is a housing crises in Canada, overloading at food banks. You are a guest in this county and do not have any rights to tell us Canadians what to do , just leave and there will be no problems.

As a Canadian, I get treated better as a foreigner in the USA , than as a fellow Canadian in Canada.

80 percent of Canadian people complaining about immigrants in Canada ,had grandparents that immigrated 60 years ago?

Together let’s do something about it instead of leaving. Canada isn’t a country like China where no changes can be made by its citizens. I’m an immigrant, first arrived here in Canada in 2014. Once I heard the US wants to annex us I asked myself what can I do to help prevent this. I think the quickest way is we need a stronger military. I looked up the Canadian military website and found out me as a permanent resident can also be qualified to apply. Although the compensation isn’t that great, if the US really start being unwise I will definitely apply.

These people use Trudeau's excuse as IS getting into Canada. I wish it was easy the way my family went through the eye of the needle to work with IRCC to become Canadian citizens, work and toiled to pay Taxes in this country for over 44 years! These people took a plane ride and demands to be better off than Canadian Citizens? 4:29

Yeah the Mexican Cartels by pass the states go all the way to canada to smuggle baxkdiwn to the states. Anybody whos seen a map will call bull. Maybe thr fentynle is being smuggledfrom yhe states(and your open boardets) into Canada. Killing Canadians.

Get these people off this County too many Immigrants no Work for Canadians Trudeau and his Partys messs he brought east India to east Canada enough is enough

The United States has full surveillance commercialism. That means that Canada Customs could theoretically pay to find the answers to questions like: Does this person have a tendency to criminality or violence? Does this person pose a threat to children, law enforcement, or Canadian society? Is this person likely to be a burden on Canada's health care system?.... All of that information is available on every single American for a price. In fact, because Facebook/Meta and Google etc store their information in the United States, they could likely also give that information about every single Canadian.

No one made the social net in Canada for us, we made it for each other. That's democracy. Having said, that, I use the healthcare system as little as possible while others are breaking its back with minor colds, especially since Covid. Fear of lack of healthcare was not the Canadian norm, but seems to have become that way resulting in people destroying a good thing and getting lazier about personal responsibility! So much talk about politics everywhere now and not much talk about responsibility for ourselves let alone our neighbours. Politicians are not gods!

This country President n it's ppl all same \nPrevious president support the terrst who was wanna attack india now Canadians citizen supporting their evil greedy previous president pathetic country canada why west show canada as polite country which polite country behave like this \nPathetic abusive country n i remember Canadian company who hire cheap employees to work in india for their organization thy literally pay nothing for so much work country beggar n racist also

People who escaped India and went to Canada did not become Canadians, but created another India within Canada. This is the clear difference between ordinary Asians and Indians.

Should be 2 Million. Remove them and all their derka derka BS. And give Canada back to the Majority Judeo=Christian Canadians of European descent that created it. No more freebee's to shithole dumps like India who bring NOTHING Canada needs but pick us clean. Get them out!

Canadian Government is sleeping unfortunately to welcome more refugees as guest and provide them facilites by using tax payers money. Such a shame on dumb politicians. Ruined our Canada

You see in Canada tariffs on Colombian products would never happen, because Columbia only produces coffee legally for us. And Canadians love coffee too much.

I was po'd that I had to pay $13 for a tv in my room when I had my kids LMAO! Canadian problem. Free now though. For the most part I like the safety and security of Canada. I always feel a little in danger when I visit the US. I think the idea that anyone can carry a weapon freaks me out. But, I love the shopping in the states. It is not cheaper for us to buy down there but you guys have way more variety.

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

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!

Trump asked that we seal our borders and do something about fentanyl. How did Canadian politicians respond! Like chickens with their heads cut off, throwing around our idea of tariffs. Trump was clear. I have no idea why they had to take it to this level in Canada.

Too many Indians in Canada. They are opportunist. They are not building strong Canada. They are taking advantage of of Canadian generosity.

i left canada mid of 2024 to dubai and i can say that dubai is safe and good. im my school I saw a lot of canadians

If you wanna know why all these rejections, look at Canada! Canadians are some of the nicest people on earth, but the anti-Indian sentiments in the country have been steadily growing over the past few years for a reason. While some of them settle into the Canadian culture, a lot of them have instead decided to import India to Canada. The question then is, why not stay in India? If you wanna be Canadian, be Canadian, don't try to turn Canada into India 2.0. That's why Canadians seem anti-Indian now.

You have too many unemployed local born Canadians. The foreigners who know they came without permission shouldn't expect to be considered more important then the local citizens.\nA foreign business like a school program does not have the authority to permit folks to come to Canada. Nor do your cousins running businesses. Or foreign realtors selling you or renting housing. Or the foreign landlords convincing you they have the right to rent to you.

Read all these comments. Why is it the normal Canadian citizen knows what needs to be done to fix Canada’s problems, yet our politicians have no clue?

You're free loading days are over soon as we have a new prime minister, what is happening in the US will happen in Canada you want to be a Canadian you want to be American do it legally

How can Indians protest in Canada and demand for PR? They are not brith right citizens of Canada to demand a PR. It is Canadian Govt prerogative whether or not to offer PR to foreign national. Indians please don't act like fools and shame your country

As an Indian Immigrant who left recently, here are few tips for Canadians:\n\n1. Not every brown person is Indian, I knew people from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka identifying themselves as Indians.\n\n2. Its not entire India but two major states, Punjab and Gujarat, with majority of aggressive actions coming from IMMIGRANTS from Punjab and not native Punjabis who are born and brought up here.\n\n3. Immigrants can’t vote, so majorly its not your fault and so is not immigrants fault but the Government that the CITIZENS elected brought immigrants for boosting their dead economy.\n\n4. Controversial but I will say it, Canada is a FRENCH country with English as its second major language. No others language is as prominent, So if you are sure that a brown person is an IMMIGRANT and they can’t even speak ENGLISH properly let alone French, 99% chance he/she is a problem in your country and does labour work.

Good. Don't care. Canadians are not getting hired on jobs and are living on the streets.\nMy government gave millions of grants and loans to foreign students, so schools could stay afloat. It's the biggest scam in Canada history. You can thank Trudeau for lying to these international students.\nCanadians don't have jobs, and we are educated... but a foreign student will be fine after school in my country. Bloody shady Trudeau. Jail him!!!! For life!!!! Lies, lies, lies. Too bad for the students. But the schools made money. Get lost... Trudeau you scammer

Very complicate English accent but Canadian borning doesn't have jobs. They're not coming here for study but to get work permit and PR then stay in Canada forever ?

I agree that skilled immigration is the right thing to do \n\nStop asylum seekers , take students as they are needed to fuel local economy , however improve the criteria to qualify for a work visa after student \n\nPermanent residency to be only allowed if you are working in a niche job where you don’t find any Canadian is found for that job position.\n\nMy view is to reduce taxes on individuals , incorporations and also eastablish industries and remove unwanted regulations and allow to establish industries \n\nThis will boost employment and also use this opportunity to develop near shore for us based companies to help them find skilled resources in canada \n\nMany thoughts I am not an expert , but I love canada and canada deserve to be a world leader in everything

Those people is not immigrants, they are Indian international students and Indian visitors visa. The use the back door to get into Canada. Now the real immigration apply in the right way, they have to wait some more time. Just because the Indian is cheat and scam the Canadian visa system.

1/2 the population works, the youth can't move up economically, it promotes gig, contract, temporary, part-time, no benefits and the long term result is economic instability and citizens here can't afford to have families, have a life. . . People who work and live here and have their finances here, don't benefit the same way. They invited 1.2 million in one year alone and are backlogged over a year. What was this crazy government thinking? Projection is that 1/2 million people will be 'un' documented next year? And out of the 16-17 mi full-time jobs, probably less than half paying a living wage in 'Canada.' It's beyond stupidity, completely incomprehensible what our government has done. Pay Canadians full-time with proper benefits. The Canadian government sets a low benchmark for Canadians 'here.' and just keeps lowering it, not to mention, cash, bribes, kickbacks, and a blackmarket will emerge. They don't know what they're doing.

Yep…way too many Indians in Canada…every small town, every large city, every convenience store, all motels, Dollarama, thrifty stores ….they are everywhere. 79 year old Canadian here and I do not recognize my country anymore. I want out of this country.

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 ???

Barrie here…i agree we have way too many Indians. Shitting on beaches, groups take over parks playing blaring Indian music. The reason many left India is being brought here and Canada will never be the same. They are taking over motels and they are not clean with cheap breakfasts, most convenience stores, gas stations and now taking over Canadian jobs!!!!!!

Canada needs to do the same. They also need to get rid of the anti canadian ndp liberals.

Tell the truth to your Indian community the reason India is losing its passport acceptance because they have lied to developed countries. IT guys are under qualified what they have shown on their degrees most of them have bogus degrees that's why Canada have failed all Indian students they could not pass Canadian entry level test, USA has also have found out the hard way that Indian coming to USA have lied on their degrees and not qualified for the position. All scammer are from India, look in u tube scammer tracker and see how they cought scammers from India. Please wake up and do not listen to GODI MEDIA factitious development all in papers but in reality India still veiy very poor country, all is well documented and well documented in western media, recent study shows that India is 111th nation in hunger index out of 125 countries of the world ? well documented all I said is well documented all I did just reiterated.
