Greatest respect. So sad to see the USA unraveling at warp speed and damaging us all. ❤??❤️?? all strength to Canada, Europe, Ukraine, we stand with you.????????

Canadian here....appreciate JT's message, and stand by him in this situation, but sadly know that our long friendly relationship with the USA does not matter at all to this administration. JT's message does not matter to that administration, or their MAGA followers. Fentanyl from Canada isn't a real issue - in fact, significantly more comes into Canada from the USA, along with guns, than the other way around - but that fact doesn't matter at all to the administration or their MAGA followers. Facts and logic are not involved in this. Canadians are quiet and peaceful people who are proud of their country, and we are coming together over this shared cause. We will weather this and be stronger as a country for it.

Republicans are a bunch of clowns! Morons and idiots have taken over that political party! How Sad for USA!

I am really sad to see Canada slide. The USA is loaded with 20th Century industrial equipment that still works. Industry really is important to countries with plenty of resources, as Americans are finally realizing.\nToo bad that Canadian agriculture is such a small part of its economy. In the center of the USA, I always look for produce from Canada over any other place, including the States. Their products are simply the best.

I'd heard on our Canada wide - USA boycott sub - that you'd gone to the dark side man & had to check it out for myself. Sure as shit it's true. Sad dude. Lies & depictions of Canadians as somehow being a terrorist country all of a sudden is gonna get innocent people killed cuz they'll believe you and then they'll head up here to try to pretend-defend the USA in their Amazon tact gear & it's your fault 100% when they get put down...... Insane turn of events seeing as you have an asian for a wife and a couple of kids who are about to lose their *american citizenship* regardless of being born in the USA. Wrong side of history my friend & a huge disservice to your own kids. Shameful & pathetic. Man up and put ethics over your pocketbook *CASH* Jordan.

Sad many who want to USA taxpayers to pay their bills and live in USA for free. Many here want all to go through immigration and limits set, lets be clear you are not owed a free ride just because you want to come here, if you are in doubt then open and read the news.

I am a white Canadian have family and friends in the USA and I tried to move to the usa back in the early 2000's because I had a job could not do it because I was not allowed but it seems if you are other then white it is so much easier and everyone said I should go now because Trudeau is a dictator and that I am a law abiding Conservative that wants to leave Canada because our PM is nothing but a POS Liberal that is robbing the hard working real Canadians and cutting us off of having a good job because of DEI. They want blacks and browns to have all the high paying jobs while the rest of us get shafted into working for Min Wage or a little bit above while we get taxed to death. and if you look at all the homeless in Canada it's all white people and nothing but it's like the scumbag Liberals want the whites to live homeless or just scrapping to get by below the poverty line. It's really sad that this Country is going this way and wish Trump would come here and just clean out the liberals and Woke POS and send them to live on some abandon Island allong with the criminal Illegals because I am so sick of the BS. The Illegals are taking right over and they are the ones that are killing the people off with the drugs too.

Lets pray and hope that Americans will never have to run to another country and BEG for help. Let's pray USA is always strong and stands for it's people even though this country of ours is a newbie. This clip is sad and our government created this mess for many many years this is been going on.

The commentary here sounds so much like U.S. citizens griping, it's almost funny, but also sad. Maybe Trump the ignoramus is right... do Canadians really want to give up and just become part of the USA? I doubt it, but if you're in any doubt as to where to live, don't try just south of you. It's got all the problems you mention and then some. And of course it's still a great country; I was born here and live here happily. But I've also been to Canada four times since the 1980's, and each time I am just wowed by the many ways in which Canada seems ahead of the USA. The grass truly is greener on the other side of the fence... just be aware of what you have, and that you have an amazing country, too. Griping is now epidemic in the United States... it doesn't lead anywhere good, and it accomplishes nothing.

Sad fact is usa is overrun by Central American and Mexican illegals. Many worked for wages less than minimum and that affected many American workers—I was one of them.

These people are desperate, can you imagine things being so bad in your own country that you travel thousands of miles to try to get into another one that promises a better life? It truly is sad for those who have empathy. Perhaps the United States should tackle the immigration problem by trying to make things better in other countries so those folks don't feel in need to cross over into America. Instead of stopping us aid helping other countries, and waging and supporting wars in other countries, the USA could take a different approach and actually help the world become a better place. It's crazy I know, but it just might help.

This is really sad becuase life after deportations is tough for somebody who was raised in USA. I was taken to the U.S. as a baby and grew up there, but at 19, I was sent back to Mexico—a country I had no memory of, no connections in, and barely spoke the language. My entire family had migrated when I was little, so I was left to figure everything out on my own.\n\nComing back felt like being thrown into an unfamiliar world. I wasn’t fluent in Spanish, had a weird accent, and my mindset was completely different from those who grew up in Mexico. I used to be outgoing and got along with everyone, but now I’ve become more introverted. I struggle to relate to people, have trouble socializing, and often feel like I don’t belong. I feel completely alone, with no one to talk to in person because everyone sees me as an outsider. Many even think I’m a terrible person for coming back after being raised in the very place they dream of moving to.\n\nMaking friends has been challenging too. Many assume that because I grew up in the U.S., I have more money, and friendships often come with the expectation that I’ll pay for everything.\n\nOn top of that, daily life is a struggle. Renting a place is extremely difficult because I don’t have a co-signer from Mexico, and they won’t accept one from the U.S. Getting legal documents like a passport is nearly impossible because my parents haven’t been in the Mexican system for over 19 years, and officials tell me they have no way to prove who I am. Unlike in the U.S., where there are laws against discrimination, I face rejection at every turn here.\n\nThis life is hard. I wish my family had never migrated—or at least had done so after I was old enough to understand the risks and what could happen in the future.

Criminals getting into USA in caravan so sad. Their country of origin should take care of them. They have no more hope in the USA.

Sadly, i have agreed ?with the opposition party here indian have the lowest crime rate in the usa and they are shown as soone kind of drug trafficar.I m legal migrant in usa and i know it's illegal but it's not a big crime like they never harmed anyone and got into a scam to get here and send back in chains like they have raped someone and is it bad to get a good life it shows how powerless india ?? is against usa to let it happens never .

It’s very very sad how they treated … because they all are went for hard work without any benefit… and to see one day they dreams come true… and they’re all middle class poor families… must be so much suffered all the way to USA and deported ??… \nAnd i hope in our Bharat too many … illegally living and destroyi too many things they are deport too… so our people have jobs and benefits too… ?

i hope people continue to place the blame on trump rather than the usa in general. most of the usa find this treatment of ppl disgusting. and with trump gutting the fbi and cia the last thing we need is more enemies around the world. its a sad day for the west.

When democrats win even in Congress for sure this people have hope ? to stay in USA but sadly trump landslide in all categories.

The sad thing is in every country wether its Canada Usa UK/ ireland theres always that go back to ur own Country line just IGNORANCE

Why are we seeing this right now??? These people are frightened. Thiswill happen more & moreall over the world if we don't get rid of Trump and connect once agajn with NATO & The United Nations! This is so sad...and we are experiencing just the beginning of this travesty here in the USA!!!

It sad but I'm glad because now americans will do the dirty works themselves. The price of food will rise up! For example the price of tomatoes because the farmers lost all the illigals workers. ??? Now will see who's going to really suffer. It's the end of Babylon ?\nPlus if you love avocados just know that Mexico is the biggest supplier for the USA.? The taste of your guacamole ? is going to be bitter???

Sad but good 4 usa

What can we expect from a convicted felon President who bankrupted a CASINO ? Now he is going to hurt Americas friends and bankrupted the USA very sad

As an American it feels a bit extreme, but all Canada has to do is attempt to fix their border, but your leaders would rather choose war. OK. 75% of Canadian exports go to the US while you only take 12% of ours exports. This will be a bloodbath. If Canada was a state in the USA, it would be the 4th largest economy. I have family that is from Canada, this makes me sad.

From coffee to flowers cooking oil ⛽️ the people in the USA will pay more I'm sorry for the people of the USA. Trad war no one win. Everyone pays the price on goods coming in to the USA. Very sad .

this is sad these commments i see. you guys are acting like we rely on colombia for everything. It doesnt affect us like that for the reason that if theres a demand then it will be fulfilled . Seriously lets think about the pros and cons of this. This is a statement to show hes not kidding USA 1st mfs

This is sad, I came to USA as student, and legally got my job after college, just to be a permanent resident, we have to deal with so many things legally.\n\nAnd here you just cross the border and boom, all those human rights and asylum loop hole they use is so wrong.Anyone can cross those broder Chinese, Indians, Latin Americans and so on and on. \n\nWhere is the border security?\n\nYou come legally via airport and you have to go through those many securities and stuff and here we have open border.

The sad reality is that these people truly bought into the US propaganda and wholeheartedly believe that the USA is a safer and more liveable country than Venezuela.

So sad but fr ppl gotta stop putting themselves in worse situations with kids ... If your country isn't doing shi for you maybe fight and change it but yeah USA can't take care of everyone.

I feel sad for him... but y go to shitty countries like usa or canada.

Here in the USA, We are fortunate to have many Indian neighbors.\nThe sad part is that 99% of them don't even try to be nice neighbors. \nI love and respect the Wonderful Indian culture, and I wish they could be a little more friendly and respectful of other cultures as well. ?

I usually agree with everything you say, in this case it’s sadly illegal immigrants and abuse of visas. Come as a tourist or hidden in a truck, work as a take away driver. \n\nMany Indians say dual citizenship leads to dual loyalty, if U.K. or USA open up their country to India. Except the 5% of the rich 95% will emigrate for economic reasons.\n\nOnly solution is for India to grow exponentially with our per capita income rivalling that of the west.

I don’t know who needs to know this but as of 2022 if I’m not mistaken backed by the federal banks and the global banks, Mexico is not or no longer considered a third world country for the record it’s considered an upper business class country and it’s on the rise. It’s number five in the world for importing the exporting Number one is the USA ?? . I just wanna let that sink in. I really do hope that President Trump and the president of Mexico I hope they both come to an agreement because it will not be beneficial for both parties. At least the one who’s gonna fill it. The most will be US. It’s just gonna force Mexico to look elsewhere not to mention Mexico was back by the US dollar to an extent, and it also has the back of the euro force along with the Chinese currency Mexico forced to be reckoned with not to mention all the car companies that are being Located in Mexico cars that enter in and exit Mexico in the car market not to mention Mexico now has the biggest cobalt mining probably in the world if I’m not mistaken Mexico is now in demand. Mexico knows this now but it’s not stronger than the US but if the US no longer cooperates with Mexico in Mexico, no longer cooperates with the US well it’s gonna be pretty sad not to mention the amazing history they have Like when Mexico along with Brazil defended the US when they were crippled by Japan and when Mexico went to help liberate during the Nazi invasion in Austria, Mexico has a great history of warfare and defending this country as well. I’m proud to be American and I love my Mexican heritage. I just hope it doesn’t go too far

Im mexican, and all this makes me sad, cause president Trump make American citizens to believe we are all criminals, bad people, that all of us wants to go to USA. And that is not true, a lot of us are happy living in our country, work here, and be with our loved ones here in Mexico. A lot of Mexican people are good people, people that work very hard and people who have big hearts. I hope that American citizens see this. I hope that the thoughts of American politicians are not the same of the American citizens.

Mexico has allowed to be exploited by greedy American corporations, to the demise of both countries, I have seen first hand what NAFTA has mede in TIJUANA, all that profit from exploiting Mexican labor, and the massive environmental crisis, because lack of infrastructure to support all the influx of people to work for miserable wages, electricity, water, sewer systems are a joke, no innovation, no support, where had all that profit gone?! \nTo the pockets of corrupt government both in Mexico and USA, despicable greed! \nDo it President Trump! \nBoth countries need to face consequences for bad government, poor people always get trampled, sadly, but we will prevail by GOD’S grace.

Everyone here hates Canada, it’s so sad to see, I’m an American who used to live in Compton USA, and let me tell you the gang violence was very real my uncle Rick was killed by a drive by incident while buying a pack of cigarettes and he wasn’t even the target. He walked right into a gang war, because of this we left and moved to Canada, best decision of my life because now I live in Mississauga, and here I don’t have to worry about the gang violence and drive by shootings, I can raise my two girls here in safety. I love America and I am a proud American but I would never ever want to live there after everything me and my family went through. F*%c that. I’m happy living in Canada. Best country in the world. But that’s just my opinion. You don’t have agree with me

Sad thing is an immigrant can apply to go to usa. But a born canadian has no chance to flee to usa. Born canadians constantly getting the shaft

Sad to say trump is right i have my reasons 1 come in legally its bad enough that the USA dont want to hire ppl from the USA but are quick to hire an imigrant for lower pay 2 its bad enough that this country is going to shambles and there is enough going on to worry about anyone other than the people from this country, 3 its illegal to do anything that is not right being an undocumented resident is illegal period so if an American cannot break the law no one that comes from another country without documents should be here period

act now, look whats happening in the USA. sad but true

I can't wait, 10 dollar tomatoes, onions, and other vegies, and Inflation will hit 20 %, I cannot wait for that, This country is going down fast. At least I speak 3 languages, I can go somewhere else, the world is laughing at the USA. Sad Sad Sad...................................

My two University kids feel 'HOPELESS'. This is a small country.....not much of prosperity to go around. With growth projected to be below 1% over the never decade (or more), it is least surprising that youngsters feel pessimistic. It is the sad truth. On top of it....throw the eight months of bad weather and crime rate skyrocketing due to all kinds of scum being let into the Country. It is one shot at human life. Never a bad idea to look far and beyond. The Northern hemisphere is DONE. USA is an exception......but Europe/Canada are places any youngster should have least hesitation to walk away from..

Moved to Canada for quality of life and in terms of natural beauty it has not disappointed me. However, it is sorely lacking in the necessary infrastructure investment and many of the more Woke political decisions compound this with how the tax dollars get utilised on virtue-signalling for the Politicos, instead of driving steady grass-roots investment into the education and building out the infrastructure and driving the expansion of the economy. Sadly, the Woke government has moved from an almost clear balance sheet to having stacked up an incredibly high national debt mountain which now eats up most tax dollars just to service and will take GENERATIONS to repay.... the grandchildren of Canadians today will not see this repaid and there is NOTHING to show for it except keeping the Woke politicos smug in their beliefs. \nOf course, I am gone..... I moved to the USA and concentrated on economic investment in my family and building an asset portfolio which is globally portable.

Everything you stated was spot on and very accurate. You are not only very articulate and eloquent but also very brave and sensible to bring up this topic. Hopefully, the population of Indian heritage who live in Canada take note of what you have so brilliantly stated and start to change their behavior before the Canadian born citizens get completely fed up and start throwing these people out.\n\nI am of Indian heritage who immigrated to California, USA, 50 years ago. I made a concentrated effort to assimilate into the American culture as quickly as possible and become a productive part of the American culture and it's traditions. I embraced my new home but still valued my heritage and what I could contribute to this society - tolerance and patience. Sadly, what you stated regarding this kind of negative behavior started to creep in, even here, during the Barack Hussein Obama administration (very backward man and backward values) and has steadily become worse over the past 10-12 years here in the U.S. People of Indian heritage truly have a lot to offer countries like the U.S. and Canada when these people conduct themselves in a civilized and cultured manner.

Sad how biden kamala administrarion let this happen now venezuelans killing and taking away homes. Why people voting for she Will let all come in even terrorist and being down USA USA Will fall at the hands of kamala and Government agencies as well so hispanic black people dont vote for this woman

So sad few Indian families have died ( drowned and froze to death) trying to illegally enter USA. The worst thing is both families were doing quite well in India. What is going on??

USA citizen here who always enjoyed Canada and the USA. I pray both Canada and the USA can address their issues because I believe both countries are amazing, even with their issues. I am happy we are neighbors. It is sad to think of anyone making, or have to make the choice, of moving to another country.

My dad came to this country in the 80s; I was born here. I had a lovely childhood in the 90s and 2000s. My parents bought a house in suburban Toronto with just a high school education. They sent us to public school, which was perfectly good. I was looking forward to buying my own house, etc. I loved this country. Even back then, people were reticent about being too nationalistic. But I was PROUD to be Canadian even though my parents were not born here. I thought of myself as Canadian, I sang O Canada proudly, I celebrated Remembrance Day in a solemn way even as a child, and I would have died for the country if we had been at war. \n\nWell, not anymore. I don't recognize this country after years of Trudeau. I can never buy a house here, the cost of groceries is burdening me, and the younger people in my family can't even find part time jobs as students. People are increasingly rude, crime has me on edge, it's congested. Freedom of speech, which was taken for granted when I was very young, is dwindling away. Churches have been burnt, Trudeau has incited hatred against people who disagree with him. I'm actually moving to the USA to work there, so that will ease a lot of these issues. (I know it's not perfect down there, but having spent a lot of time there, I can see many things are better). But I'm sad. I'm sad for my family that still lives here. I'm sad that the country I once loved is gone.

sadly it was common before. luckily it is reasonably rare nowadays. It is common in the embassies of Asian countries. But 'First World Countries ' do the same. You even loose your monney. My friend applied 3 times for USA visa. Firts time it was canceled because it was 1 usd more paid for the fees. It happened because of exchange rates. It was more not less. The application was canceled for this reason. So Yes embassies love hassling people.

I feel for you sweetheart. I too moved out of USA because of our country is in up roar. So sad we all don't take care of our elderly. Yes this misses me off.?
