A group of friends went to Canada for a trip and one of us in the group had a DUI 10 years ago and won’t let us in. Like he’s some sort of gang member. Fuck you Canada!

FACT IS that Canada turned this into a trade war!!! I say this as a Canadian. It didn't have to be this way. Canada died 10 years ago. Annex away Mr. Trump.

Time to QUIT BOY and let the Conservatives REPAIR what you've damaged the last 10 years!!!\nJustin made the same mistake as dictator ZELENSKY did a few days ago...LEFTIST/ SOROS/ GLOBALIST POLITICAL CRIME GANG PUPPETS ARE FIGHTING THEIR LAST BATTLE ???

For those who admires Trudeau. Did you know that he did so bad for the last 10 years and resigned two month ago. And before he resigned he got permission from the king of England to close the Parliament until his party elected a new leader?

Wow, that’s a very good polite speech of a leader. I’m Asian used to live in Ontario 10 years ago and I love Canadian people they are not racist. \nI so wish you all luck for your loving Country. \nGo go go Canada !!!! watching from Czech Republic ❤

Trudeau doesn't care about Canadians or USA! I don't care about his speech! He has harmed this country for the last 10 years so why the change of heart now when he already resigned! Trudeau waited for the last few weeks to secure the border when he had no choice when that should of been done years ago!!!

I have been warning people for 10 years ago about Donald Trump I've been warning people about 8 years for Elon Musk and all the Billionaires here in America prepare yourself this day is coming and everybody laughed in my face so I have been preparing this whole damn time and this is also every news outlets problem too because you guys been sugarcoating Donald Trump and Elon Musk and the rest of the Billionaire...\n#NATIONINDISTRESS

As a Canadian who has lived my whole life here, in my opinion there were two major factors that need to be highlighted that started this mess: fiscal policy and focus on fringe politics. First, Canada came out of the 2008 meltdown relatively unscathed due to following a markedly different strategic path than other major countries, namely tight banking regulations as well as 15 years of paying down the national debt. However, several years after 2008, sentiment shifted to adopting the same MMT-led fiscal policies as other nations: lower interest rates and deficit spending. Secondly, at least 10 years ago, there was a major political shift to start emphasizing fringe social issues (climate, race-based, gender, etc.) instead of standard issues such as the economy or military to name two, and it was strongly evident in academia and in the media. The result was little governmental, public or media attention being paid to core economic concerns such as the massive growing government and consumer debt levels, highly inflationary housing market, or decreasing productivity. When COVID hit, the government further doubled the existing federal debt and when they found that unsustainable, opened the doors to massive immigration levels to bring the Debt-per-Capita ratio down which while helping in that one metric, has further inflated the housing market all while forcing wages down. We now have unsustainable public debt levels, unaffordable housing, decreasing wages, decreasing productivity, and a troubling reactionary political swing towards extremist right-wing ideologies. Top that off with the US administration seeing Canada is on an economic precipice and threatening to take the country over, there couldn't be a more perfect storm.

Brief summary: 10 years ago Justin Trudeau gets into power. Investments into the Economy are neglected and frilly social programs are funded instead.

This video and these comments are so shocking and depressing. 10 years ago, people still widely praised and raved about Canada and it was a leading country in healthcare and standard of living. Now people are saying the complete opposite and saying it's in a terrible state. I know countries have their downfall at some point, but Canada, of all places, having a really horrendous \n economical crisis is so hard to grasp.

Basically, for the past four years, Biden, Harris and the Democrat Party have spent hundreds of billions of US tax dollars flying illegal immigrants in and basically leaving America’s borders in Mexico and Canada wide open to mass illegal immigration. Then they lied to the American people about the real numbers and how bad the problem really was. In the past few years, the Democrats have spent billions throughout all of our federal agencies via misappropriated US taxpayer funds that were earmarked for American citizens or American infrastructure and development, then used these misappropriated, taxpayer funds to provide housing, food, education, medical care, and in most cases, luxury hotels. Just within the past two weeks FEMA spent over $500 million to provide luxury hotels for illegal immigrants yet a few weeks ago they were still claiming that they didn’t have enough money to help American citizens who suffered catastrophic loss during recent hurricanes and wildfires. The simple fact that Democrats got more upset that Elon Musk bought Twitter than they are, that their own political party in government for the past four years, has literally been holding them at gunpoint and forcing them to pay taxes so that they could steal it or launder it into their own campaigns and pockets is literally disturbing! WTF!!!! If any of those other federal agencies are ran or funded the way U.S. AID were, with the massive corruption, misappropriation, fraud and theft of taxpayer funds, then I hope DODGE goes through an completely audits, every single federal agency in the United States. No wonder the Democrats are freaking out the way they are, if the Republicans got caught this bad with their hand in the taxpayer cookie jar, then you know the Democrats would be screaming a different tune. The Democrats are trying to manipulate taxpayers into believing utter nonsense like their phrase “ no one voted for Elon Musk. “ but in reality no citizen ever votes for the hundreds of the civilian presidential appointed positions to run these federal agencies, every new president pics/appoints to these positions every term. It definitely explains why hard-working tax paying men and women are getting completely ripped off and robbed every time they look at their paycheck and see how extremely and unnecessarily high taxes are now. The Democratic Party has completely destroyed its reputation with the American taxpayer, they got completely exposed for their corrupt, anti-American, extremist, radical,and woke liberal agenda. They were absolutely using tens of millions of US taxpayer funds to finance terrorist organizations like the Taliban and Isis, billions of US taxpayer funds, pushing their racist and sexist woke liberal DEI agenda across the globe, they were absolutely bribing corporate news media to control the narrative and manipulate the American people to influence elections via corporate news media subscription payments to very left, leaning news organizations, such as politico and others, that were clearly and obviously bribes to the media, just one of the NGO of many organizations under U.S. AID paid $75,000 of taxpayer money a year for a Digital subscription to politico’s corporate news outlet , that any one could sign up for $10 a year like any other news outlets digital subscription. The list of fraud, corruption, and very obvious US taxpayer funds theft, just goes on and on and on. I think the worst betrayal of it all is the fact that any US tax paying citizen or to steal one single US tax dollar from the government, we would be publicly arrested, put in handcuffs, charged with a felony, and prosecuted to the absolute max, the law would allow, but these Washington elite politicians are allowed to do this without even a public slap on the wrist is the most disgusting and devious, betrayal, and loss of trust that the American taxpayer has ever known.???????????????????????????????????????????

Pmsl...i had that once about 10 year ago in cowley road oxford.. came out from a gig sparked a cigarette and had 4 men tell me i cant smoke or stand there because its sharia law...i said ohhh thats ok we dont recognise that hear in england so im good thanks...they really didnt like that...but i could of shut the pedophile up by making him bite his own bottom jaw

I live in Toronto and ive been around Canada. In all the cities of Canada, it is way way worse than 10 years ago. I don't recognize it anymore. Drugs, crime, and cost. It sucks right now.

Thank you president trump for protecting the USA and its people from those 10 years ago on lists of mentally challenged disturbed unfit individuals who think being a woman or being a man is a feeling a costume you can wear and force others to participate in the delusion the democrats lost the elections and somehow want the newly elected president to implement their agenda ITS OVER respect the voters you lost will the media stop the propaganda

Have to say went to the states 10 years ago thinking it was an English speaking country, but………………??

It takes more than just one week it will take years and your government dropped the ball almost 10 years ago.

Does this mean that Canada's Youth can finally find employment in simple locations like 10 years ago?

10 years ago vishwa guru ji said americans will line up for Indian visa and there were a lot of claps in that aap ki adalat. Now we are crying for high rejection rate. Rejection rate is good for India, foreigon exchange is saved along with loudness and unclean habits.

I was in Toronto months ago and my 10 year old son asked me as we walked a mall if anyone spoke English there. That says it all.

Interesting facts: Even Indians who came to Canada 10 years ago are complaining about recent Indian migrants.

What bothers me the most is how Canada prioritizes low skill workers over high skilled. Came here 2 years ago on work permit, both wife and I are tech professionals with over 10 years of work ex in global organizations. I honestly wouldn't mind going back to India or any other country once my visa expires as I know my skills are enough to land a job anywhere (got a job in 1.5 months here). Value add to the economy must also be kept in mind while choosing your permanent residence by the government, how it works in US.

Immigration destroyed Canada no jobs no rental apt 10 years ago Canada was a different country

I left Canada 10 years ago and never looked back....

10-12 years ago Modi said he would make Americans line up for Indian visa when asked about why he was denied US visa. In 2-3 years, he would be happily retired after ruling it for 15 years. who are the losers? certainly not the chaiwala.

When I couldn't even invite close relatives to visit, and with no strong reason for denial but the only supposed trend by other visitors to stay their visit, I felt really disappointed and even wrote the Federal Minister of Immigration back then. That was over 10 years ago. Around the same time, I saw whole families from South Asian countries coming. And then I saw more, and then more. Older people pop up in family neighbourhoods. Then I asked why, what's going on here? I'm also sure that there has been a very biased immigration process throughout.

The colleges were behind this policy 10 years ago.. They made millions and people werr scammed.. gov knew.. As long as you pay tuition you are accepted

I commented be carful with what trump is asking for\nmexico will sign economy trade with south korea,brazil,european union,Great Britain sudamerica, china and México they will renew their deal that they have about 10 years ago\n\nUSA has no options

Yep. There are only 1,500 crossings captured compared to 10,000 a year ago. Trump just wants Mexico to get short end of the stick.

I was born here 30 years ago and the past 10 years this country has taken such a nose dive I want to leave it

About 10 years ago I had a chance to move to Canada. I'm sooo glad I didn't.

I left Canada for Taiwan 10 years ago and havent looked back. I work for the Taiwanese government now and have a much better quality of life than I did back in Canada.

10 years ago I had been called by my company to work in Germany. First discrimination I had was when a government worker told me in english that she does not speak english and if I want anything I should get a translator or learn german! Since then I have been many times facing similar discrimination even after I learned the language. The sacrifice I make is for my children as I want them to have opportunities for higher education and a larger spectrum of careers. One thing I must ask germans: ist es so schwer anderen zu helfen, ohne sie herabzusetzen?

Because as a Canadian born and raised we have been shoved out by Indians and Asians.....\n\nCant compete for my country with people who happily commit fraud and crime. And boy do they. \n\nFamily have been here since they crossed the land bridge some 10 000 years ago....meanwhile Im being shoved out by Punjabis...

I came across this video thanks to the incredible beautiful Alina, and it inspired me to share a bit of my own story. Twelve years ago, I landed with just $1,000 in hand and built two companies that together have generated over $10 million. The past two years have been a journey of transition to the USA, and soon, I'll be moving to the South for good. I hope this new chapter is as beautiful and rewarding as the journey that led me here.

Yea, that Trudeau Tweet from 10 years ago will go viral & you'll see mass migration northbound.

Didn’t some Indian billionaire have a huge weeding in India way can’t he spread his wealth around ? we don’t need more Indians in Canada we have more then enough already my parents came to Canada in the 70s for there dr degree and had good jobs know people coming to study don’t really study just us it as a loop hole that’s the real problem. And they all go to Brampton Trudeau messed up immigration big time. The numbers of immigrants coming in is to high. They should have did this 10 -20 years ago to little to late. We don’t need more Uber drivers. It’s going to take years for the numbers to go down the houses are still to high things are to expensive

I came to Germany in 2008 to do my Bachelors and later did my masters and working for 10 years now. Got my citizenship 5 years ago. Lets say i have to travel a lot due to my work.. If i move out of Germany, it would be only because of insane tax . I expected even a colder or harsher condition but since my expectation was soo low, it was all good.. At my work place, the working language is only German. I knew that before so it was not a hard time when i was thinking from time to time regarding the difficulty.. \nOne thing and most important thing, Even after getting your citizenship in Germany you are not automatically a German. You are just a paper german ( Even though i dont hold other passport ). I knew this before and it was not hard for me but for many immigrants who become german citizens, they will still be seen as an Ausländer .. Thats the reality which will take another decade to change.

Stop all immigration until Canada can catch up with health care, housing and employment. Once Canada reaches that goal then allow immigration based on those issues. With this minor reduction Canada will never catch up with housing, health care and jobs. Immigrants all living in housing shelters while Canadians are in encampments. Canada safer then 10 years ago... that is a load of crap. Miller calling the backbenchers garbage.

I don’t think we are safer than 10 years ago lol

Rent 10% cheaper in Toronto??? Since when?\n\nCanada is safer than 10 years ago lmao?\n\n I hate the Liberal party, the amount of lies is wild

Miller thinks it's safer here than 10 years ago...???....Ok, that's the problem. His judgement. He is delsuional.

I can’t believe Miller had the gall to say that Canada is safer than it was 10 years ago!!! wtf

You Guy's coming here 100 years ago. We came 10 years ago...?

This talk was 10 years ago ??

I came to Canada 33 years ago. Canada changed a lot especially for the last 10 years

Should’ve sent them all back 10 years ago an maybe my sons would have more of a chance out here getting jobs an chances in life

I moved here from Wales 5 years ago. I’ve been lucky enough to travel to many country’s around the world and I’ve honestly never seen anything like Canada. Most days don’t even meet Canadians. My boss is Indian, my land lord is Indian. I went to service Canada to update my driving licence and there was about 150 young indain students queuing up around the mall. When I’m lucky enough to strike up a conversation with a Canadian (born here) they seem beaten down and can’t believe the change in last 10 years…. Heartbreaking

when I came to the west 10 years ago.. for immigrants that was a opportunity.. we stayed on our best behavior and often out worked citizens and always gave our 110%. the amount of stress we took to keep a job, to stay in college and work 40hrs job on the side... the extra hours we spent at work to just give our best. all my work is for nothing.... its like the govt has spat in our face and opened the flood gates...

Yes, they are to blame. Autotheft and scams have skyrocketed. All stores (Walmart, Loblaws ...) have barricaded their stores in order to prevent theft.\nIt wasn't like that 10 years ago.

Capitalism does not work. The constant crisis and boom/bust cycles will lead to its demise, eventually. Canada isn't alone, in fact inflation and other problems have been worse in peer western nations. The only nations that seem to be doing better with 'economic growth' are places like China or other societies that place value in public services. Best of luck on your journey. I immigrated to Canada about 10 years ago, and I've done better than the US where I came from. It still is the case, as I go back to visit family in the US regularly and the job prospects are grim, the pensions are even less secure, and union membership is even starker than here. Precarious work is the norm in western nations, and its often worse than in Canada. As a dual citizen, I could choose to get up and move tomorrow, but I'll never return to the US as there is worse places to live than Canada... But I did have a long journey to find stable employment, so I realize Canada isn't perfect. Have you thought about ending work as a content creator on YouTube and doing something that might be more productive or fulfilling? It might be a start to a better future. It may even be better than moving to a different country that would have the same or worse problems.
