I don't care what side of the fence you sit on. I did not need to hear this man speak to already know Canada was, but may yet be, our greatest ally and trading partner. I have no idea what possessed Mr. Trump to decide to stab our allies in the back, but it was not something good. 27.5% of voting age adults voted for him. How many of them were serenaded by hollow promises and a good slogan. Perhaps all of the mud slinging and Russian media interference helped? If you add in our more studious teenagers, truly reformed felons, and immigrants who actually deserve a gold card, that number plummets to less than 25%. I won't ask people to wake up, if you are reading this you are already more than capable of finding out that I speak only the hard truth. This means less than a quarter of america wanted this. This means your vote and opinions DO count. I know it is incredibly difficult to reach for and find answers in a world where your president or primary candidate throws 'fake news' in your face on a regular basis. He is actually telling the truth. When he is not telling you is that he is a primary enabler of 'fake news'. To him, only his word is law, only his opinion matters, only he deserves to be on top, and he deserves authority over all of your lives. Do the right thing, we all have a civil duty to understand our candidates to the very best of our ability. When a man has been convicted of dozens of felonies, and we tell you that this is only what we were willing to expose. You may want start believing us. The genuine facts of his past are unilaterally corrupting to our children and good people alike. Do not let the american people repeat their mistakes, force Mr. Trump to atone for his mistakes. No not empower him to sweep them under the rug for the sake of his own arrogance, because that is exactly what he is doing by trying to dismantle the CIA and FBI. These two institutions are shining examples of America's pursuit of freedom and justice. Freedom to keep billionaires from corrupting the morals of our children. Freedom to know that the rule of law is immutable, our constitution is not just a paper with fancy traditional sentiment. Even if the law may sometimes be bent for the sake of decency, forgiveness, and the pursuit of 'united we stand', our constitution cannot. Amendments require the FULL support of nearly all Americans, not 27.5% of unrestricted adults.

Corruption, corruption, corruption. And Trump can no longer hide it from the American people. There is a reason you swear an Oath to the constitution and not a man. You have a democratic system of government and rule of law. Trump is dismantling that and having people (hacks, loyalists and sycophants) that are loyal to him not the constitution or system of government (he attacks it as the deep state) Corruption, because his personal wants and the U.S. government become one and the same. Medicare, Medicaid and veterans programs are all under threat for billionaires tax breaks. The clock is ticking. He will try to decree the law. Resist!

This US administration is not a government. It is a terrorist organization and most of us, as US citizens, are hostages. Our govt is being dismantled. The rule of law is under attack. This is an economic war on us also. God bless you all.

Hahaha we want to be friends you know like the ones who never have their wallet. The kind of friends that screw over their own people with laws and rules that the supreme leaders decide is “hate”. \nBoy he sure doesn’t want to talk about the dollar amount huh? We want free military and free money now!!!! Stomp stomp stomp give me my money daddy Trump. All you have to do is make a little effort on your end there Justin. All we are doing is reciprocating the kindness you show us. Your military members support you? \n\nPut it to a vote if you will not censor them I think you might get a sense of how out of touch you are with your own country. \n\nWe love Canadians we dislike the leadership and the smashing laws that take it out on the common citizen that don’t live in a drug riddled city. You know the majority of your citizens?

I am American independent voter who vote against Treasonous Trump this past election of 2024 in favor of Kamala Harris. While many of my fellow Americans voted for Trump many others like me did not. Now so many good and event Americans are going to suffer because of many Maga or Maga supporting Americans who foolishly chose to support Trump and his lies. Any pain and suffering Anti Trump supporting Americans, along international American Allies and theuir people, suffer will be squarely on the shoulders of Maga and Maga supporting Americans.\n\nHow Trumps first term wasn’t a wake up call and eye opener to how terrible he was and is as president is beyond me. He, treasonous Trump, did nothing to help our economy which essentially stalled or went into generally neutral state with essentially no growth positively or negatively, followed by a near complete nose dive due to Treasonous Trump’s poor handling and equally poor response to the Covid-!9 Pandemic. How people could seemed to forget that Treasonous Trump, not Joe Biden, was responsible for the current sate of things following the pandemic is beyond me. \n\nMaga and Maga supporting Americans have been conned again by Treasonous Trump, who not only failed to properly respond to the Covid pandemic but also incited and or encouraged many of Maga supporters to essentially attack the US Capitol in hopes of stopping Joe Biden’s Presidential Certification. Those in the Inter national world are not alone in their condemnation of the disgrace and embarrassment that sis current US President Trump. True Americans who believe in our constitution and rule of law as decreed by the founding fathers of our nation must unfortunately bare part of the shame Maga America has brought upon our country as a whole.Truly good and decent Americans must bare the shame of now living in a country that much International world now no longer trusts and has lost respect for. For all the hateful Maga thinking and or supporting Americans there are as many truly good non maga Americans who want more peaceful relations with allies in the international world. Sadly because of Trump and his hate many must now unjustly suffer .

People..Hello..I believe that Trump has aligned himself with Russia, not our allies. Trump's new DOJ has immediately ceased prohibiting foreign money or interference in our Election's. They've stopped our offensive Cyber SECURITY team that prevent Russia from attacking US targets. Why would he do that? Trump has fired Apolitical Generals and Chiefs of staff in the Military, JAG and prosecutor's who weed out fraud or corruption, even involving Trump's actions. Trump doesn't want stopped, if he wants to change the Constitution or demand the Military to arrest citizens. He's Dismantled checks and balances, and evades the Rule of Law. Trump stopped US aid to keep Ukraine's Power Grid functioning, so people hospitalized wouldn't freeze to death. We obviously have a Russian Asset running the Oval office. It only took HITLER 53 day's to become a Dictator. You had better speak up quickly, Republicans and Democrats or you are going to lose your FREEDOMS.

Can Trump Become a Dictator Like Putin? \nTrump has authoritarian tendencies, but turning the U.S. into a full dictatorship like Putin’s Russia would be extremely difficult. Here’s why: \n1⃣ The U.S. Has Strong Institutional Barriers \nUnlike Russia, where Putin gradually dismantled democracy, the U.S. has checks and balances (Congress, courts, states, the military). \nTrump tried to challenge the system, but courts often ruled against him, showing that he doesn’t have full control. \nTo become a true dictator, he would need to take over the judicial system, military, and elections—none of which are fully in his hands. \n? Example: \nTrump lost multiple court cases on election fraud claims, proving he does not yet have absolute control. \n2⃣ He Lacks Full Control Over the Military & Law Enforcement \nPutin controls the Russian military and secret police, allowing him to silence opposition. \nIn the U.S., the military swears loyalty to the Constitution, not the president. \nTrump tried to use the military against protesters, but military leaders refused, signaling that they wouldn’t blindly follow him. \n? Example: \nOn Jan 6, 2021, Trump encouraged an attack on the Capitol, but the military did not intervene on his behalf. \n3⃣ American Democracy is Deeply Embedded in Culture \nUnlike Russia, where people are used to strongmen leaders, Americans are culturally resistant to dictatorship. \nU.S. citizens, journalists, and activists openly resist government overreach, making it harder for an authoritarian to rise. \nFree press and independent media make it difficult to spread unchecked propaganda the way Putin does in Russia. \n? Example: \nTrump was impeached twice, showing that Congress still holds power over the president. \n4⃣ Trump’s Path to Dictatorship Would Require More Control Over Elections \nPutin rigged elections, eliminated opponents, and rewrote laws to stay in power. \nTrump has tried to change voting laws and delegitimize elections, but the system still blocked him. \nIf Trump could fully control elections, he could remove opposition and rule indefinitely. \n? Example: \nHe’s trying to install loyalists in key election positions for 2024, but this does not guarantee full control. \n5⃣ Could He Still Try? Yes. Could He Succeed? Unlikely (For Now). \n✔ Trump has authoritarian instincts and wants more power. \n✔ He is trying to weaken institutions to increase control. \n✔ But the U.S. system makes dictatorship much harder than in Russia. \n✔ Unless he completely controls elections, the courts, and the military, he cannot rule like Putin.

Thank you Canada's for always standing up for decency, rule of law and democracy! The small nation looking up to Canada's for world leaders! May the Lord provided guidance for Canada's to always stepping for right side of history!??

Mr, Trudeau prime minister, I am glad that you are standing up to trump do what is right for your country do not allow this, man child trump push you around, stand up take a stand do what is right what is just, your people who voted for you deserve it, show the world ?? that integrity, honestly and the rule of law still matters, let the world see trump for what he is, and I say to the other leaders do not be afraid to do the right thing, a good leader loves his people a good leader protects it's people , silence ? at this point in time is not acceptable, when you see tyranny speak up i asked my father ounce what makes a man, i could see in his face that he was thinking about this question very hard and he turned and looked at me and said, a man will stand up for what he believes in,no matter the price, and a real man will always protect those that can't protect themselves, for this is the mark of a real man and gentleman, i have never forgotten those words that he spoke to me, and I believe that this saying also has religious implication as well, after everything is said and done it's not the voters that are going to judge you in the end it's god and he is going to judge you on his standards not MAGA

Please stop calling it. A rule change. Our laws have been the same for decades, and it is still unlawful and it’s always been unlawful to just walk into our country sneak into our country unlawfully and claim asylum only because they got caught that has always been against the law so they need to go back go back. Go back. Go back to.

No it is NOT hard to believe this is going on. When you elect a criminal who floats the rule of law and the Constitution, this is exactly what you should expect. I don't believe for one instant that the politicians in the Republican party and a good number in the Democrat party did not see this coming, althpugh the Republicans who anticipated it wanted it and the Democrats didn't.

?? Trudeau didn't even bring up the part where Donny keeps threatening to annex Canada.\nAs a Canadian....ya...we are pissed at the irresponsible and bullying tactics of Putin's lap dog.\nWhen America gets it's ethics back and respect for rule of law and turns its back on authoritarianism...\nMaybe then we can resume our profitable relationship...but not before.

Do what is right. Stand up for democracy and the rule of law. Stand with Canada and Ukraine.

Trudeau is good at brainwashing. It has nothing to do with the people. It has to do with this dictator regime who taxes everyone and everything in Canada. Basically. And don't want to stop. They leave their borders open and immigration here in Canada is out of control. They give refuge to criminals in Canada and no rule of law. This guy is a dictator and food at brainwashing in the media.

Donald Trump is a proven, documented Liar, Thief, Fraud, Felon, Rapist and Traitor! \nEvery day he is in office is an assault on the Constitution and Rule of Law! \nHe is owned by Vladimir Putin and Elon Musk! \nHe is a disaster for America!

Canadian, European (EU), British statesmanship and desire to adhere to agreements and the rule of law 10/10; US 1/10. This is what happens when the USA elects a criminal, clueless, senile dolt with a mental age of five as President.

Thank you, to all our brothers, sisters, friends and allies from around the world. Canada loves and respects all of humanity. Canada supports the rules based societies and international law. We are a loving, compassionate diverse nation that comprises of all nations as citizens from around the world. \n\nYou know us and we know you… we are connected. We look forward to making new friends, strengthening existing ones and we are open to free, fair and peace loving people. \n\nMake no mistake. Our kindness and compassion should not be mistaken for weakness. We are forged from the steel of our earth. We will go over the boards when our friends and families are attacked internally and around the world. \n\nLong Live Canada and Ukraine! Elbows up…

Despite: \n \n- Releasing felons and undermining the justice system, \n- Picking fights with every U.S. ally, \n- Suggesting NATO can no longer rely on America a direct gift to Russia’s strategic goals, \n- Dismantling government institutions, weakening internal stability, \n- Defying the rule of law and disregarding the separation of powers, \n- Appointing loyalists to key positions, consolidating control, \n- Leaving the U.S. vulnerable to Russian cyberattacks by scaling back security efforts, \n- Siding with adversarial nations like Russia while alienating traditional allies, \n- Smearing a democratically elected president at war pushing for a regime change that favors Russia, \n- And systematically weakening global alliances, fracturing Western unity to Russia’s benefit, \n- Ignoring the growing threat of Chinese expansion, weakening the U.S. position in global power struggles, \n- Encouraging political violence and extremism, further fracturing the social fabric and putting democracy itself at risk, \n- Turning a blind eye to the economic crisis, with inflation, rising debt, and an unstable market exacerbated by reckless economic policies, \n- Chipping away at civil liberties, normalizing authoritarian behavior, and restricting freedom of speech. \n \nTrump is still your president. \nAnd what does the U.S. have to show for it? \n \n- No strengthened alliances. \n- No economic gains. \n- No enhanced national security. \n- No diplomatic victories. \n- No solid foundation for the future just a nation divided, with its core values slowly eroding. \n \nEvery move seems to serve Russia’s interests while leaving America weaker, more isolated, and more divided. \nAnd yet, there are no mass protests, no storming of the Capitol, no widespread political fallout. The U.S. hasn’t fallen in a blaze. It’s crumbling quietly, a victim of divide and conquer.

Pardon me. Every country has the right to protect its borders and to ensure immigration laws are followed. When there’s a disregard for the rules everyone suffers unfortunately.

Rules have to apply same to everyone. If these fake students will get away with fraud, million more will come to try the same. They should have to follow immigration rules and law and if immigration tells them that they are not eligible, then they have to go back and prepare better or try somewhere else or work at home.

Bidens administration created this sense of entitlement and chaos but Dems blame it on Trump bringing the law back. It’s like never disciplining your small children then one day giving them all these rules. They’re going to throw tantrums and be defiant. But that doesn’t take away the fact that the rules ( laws) should’ve been there in the first place to protect our country.

Dear Canada,\nI hope you fix the employment problems and stop employers from hiring non-resident under contract for below minimum wage rather than a resident or a local before you start implementing new streams for said non-residents and new immigrants. A lot of you locals are struggling to land employment because of the fact. Employers are taking advantage of this loophole for to lower cost of employments. And it's unfair for us locals and residents. \nIt's just unfair you see, it's not right that employers prioritize non-residents just because they can lowball them and this individuals won't have any issue with or say any word since they are given employment. Employments should be fair. \nThe labor law should have more stricter rules on such things because employers are taking advantage of this very lax rule. And should have a law that supports employees too against abusive employers or employers who just don't care as long as they profit. \n\nSincerely,

So being canadian means being white only ? All the Europeans that split tithe USA and some in canada because of their disagreements, that may be the culture of the first settlers yes. Times have changed an racist people better get use to changes. The whole earth does not belong to any one color. The Jesuse whites clin to love and worship is Jewish , yeah remember that. I l8ve mix cultures, my family is very mixed. It is possible to coexist together in love and respect and unity. Respect all faith but also respect the founding rules of the country. I personally do not agree with somethings cultural habits like child marriage etc or Muslim laws for women etc. Thank God for Canadian laws for all people. It's normal for people to bond together in the community and they all seem to feel more comfortable living ner their own ethic people. I love all people and I'm good living amongst a mixed community!

Anyone who thinks this is okay & feel that these people are just looking for a better life by breaking a US law the second they put their feet on American soil, think of your children, grandchildren, and all future relatives. If you can't sympathize for your own, then appreciate the Americans who do love their children and grandchildren and future relatives! I'm pretty sure my own ancestors didn’t live in poverty and work in the most dangerous jobs in order to make it easy for criminals who expect a hand out after breaking the law and cutting in front of the immigrants who are following the rules & laws! They are welcomed here! You criminals aren't!

American cities are still under federal law, so how can they become sanctuary cities without violating the overall rule of no illegal immigration? I don’t understand this. Send back anyone illegal, not just the really bad illegals. Anyone caught should be deported immediately.

There are BILLIONS of ppl who in Africa, South America and Islam multiplied one thousand times in 100 yrs. They will not stop rapidly recklessly multiplying and of course, high numbers of kids per adult, esp abandoned mothers, creates poverty. Even if they make it to adulthood on hand outs stolen from your tax dollars they cannot possibly keep up with infrastructure, housing, sanitation, education, roads etc for an exploding population. You cannot possibly keep up with their needs. Then they blame us for causing their poverty when ctually it's their own fault and these smears are propaganda to justify invading us, robbing us of our jobs, driving housing prices sky high and stealing our ID's, posing as us, and getting jobs they use to deny us survival in govt, banks, medical, housing, HR etc. YES THEY ARE> It's very obvious. They get a stolen passport then change the name, photo, reissue it and voila. They have their own corrupt people in position to do it on the back end. It's already been exposed in the UK for many years. It's a global program, carefully coordinated. And people in the inside are helping them led by foreign men in dresses. YES THEY ARE. The pope wants this. The Vatican has sworn to destroy democracy for as long as it's existed. That's a fact. There's zero liberty, votes, free speech in the Bible. ZERO. Read it again. Jesus rules with an iron rod over a global slave world in the end of the Bible after all the groomers promises. Seditious treason is a very serious crime. Acting to disassemble law and order in our world is TREASON. IDGAF if you think you are doing it for your god. Go to a country that wants a king who vows to slave you...not our democracy.

They are not Canadians, they are Indians came to Canada with fake papers. Disrespecting laws and rules pretending not to know.

Rules are rules and laws are laws . If New York wants to cater to those illegals. . I’m with President Trump to shut off N Y money so be it .

Thank you Trump and all the Trump Voters!! WE DID IT!!!!! We took dirt for 4 years of crime and waste of our tax earned dollars!! SHAME on the Democrats and Radicals, they do not believe in the Rule of Law that our County stands for!

Its funny that everyone seems to forget the recent supreme court ruling about sanctuary cities - they cant exist if they violate federal law. Now granted the case was about gun sanctuary cities, but the premise remains. A city or state cannot ignore federal laws, immigration or otherwise . Time for the politicians to be charged.

Now, do you understand why Québec is more restrictive with immigration laws and rules??? It's far from perfect here, but I find the situation from this point of view a lot better.

They need to understand that rules and laws apply same to everyone. Getting degree does not mean immigration, internet is ubiquitous and they should have to read first before making decisions, what are rules, regulations and what to expect after getting degree. Many other nations get degrees in collages and universities in Canada but do not create chaos, disturbance in parks and city centres, and do not go on attack.

Every other country Canadians have to follow immigration rules. They are breaking law. Nothing wrong with their country. We are they all coming here. 2 million going to food bank. They should be deported

You either believe in the rule of law or you don’t.

for all you bleeding-heart lefties... Do you actually think these illegals care about American laws and rules? \nBy any means necessary is their mindset when getting into our country. they get everything for FREE while you pay your taxes just su[pport them.

It's funny how all these immigrants come live in country founded by European and there rules and laws.\nStay in your shitty countries

Why can't India Do the same to US people who are here like that. Legs chained hands cuffed . And also make our rules strict. Rule is Rule where ever we are. Our Indians must be proud to earn here in India, even if it is little. Your dignity is not lost. Slow and steadly you can make Money. It's a digital world. Young Indians can become enterprenurs here giv jobs for our youth. Train them skilfully. Indian Govt. Must provide jobs and easy the rules for business.\nThe world is looking at India to sell their products. We won our independence long Back. ??. PM must provide jobs for all those who have been deported. Pass a law to all states to accomodate them.

This is a good example that shows that Canada has poor rule of law. That is poor for business confidence. Things need to change. Honestly, when she was overdue by even a few months, the landlord should be allowed to force an eviction through a tenancy board. I really feel for the landlord. She is a scam artist. How can she sleep at night?

Indiana are very difficult nation to respect the rules and laws in the housing sector to during to jobs - and education. They don't want to learn the foreign rule except just want to make money by ignoring all rules. \nI rule said to allow the apartment to be sized and rules to all nations 2 people the indians will bring the same apartment 10-15 person minimum, damages within a days weeks, non-respect the rules they agreed to respect. \nWhen landlords are the same rules as all others indians think it's only for them, and cleanliness maintenance is the main issue. Before indians rented the buildings front, corridors, and inside all was super clean as soon Indians rented the apartment all the bags full of garbage, compost, dresses, and shoe food all in front and everywhere. The apartment and building itself are not livable and others are complaining threatening the landlord to quiet the building. For Indians tennats many landlords lost. their good respectable tenant, None want to stay with them, It's not about color or language its about cleanness and noise sharing s with many and inviting all friends which is allowed only in India, not other developed countries or Canada. U.S. If they can't respect the rules of law in Canada they should not come. Canad landlords will not allow 11/2 or 21/2 apartments with 10-15 peoples, who breaks all inside out crowd noise, deny damages, and blame Landlords.

Follow the rules and immigration laws to become a citizen! Millions before you all have done it so can you!!

Nah nah nah nah, hey hey hey, G-O-O-D-B-Y-E. if their ILLEGAL they don’t deserve to be treat special!! Entering ILLEGAL, is ILLEGAL! We understand demos do not believe in police and rule of law unless it suits them, unfortunately the world doesn’t work like that. We are back in REALITY.

“ ‘Are we dogs?’ Families decry executions of foreigners in Saudi Arabia “\nSaudi is Saudi \nThey have rules and laws. They have that right regardless what any other thinks. \nDon’t like it ? Don’t go there. Maybe allowing woman to drive was a start to modernize or westernize or? Just a scam as not many have the money required or status . \nI known men that have worked in Saudi. They stay in compounds I’ve heard. Must behave outside that as any Saudi or suffer consequences that may include beheading !

Well maybe it's time for America to use the same rule Poland, and Korea use. And that is cross that line if you dare but do know when you do you're going to be greeted with a lot of fire power. If they act like that on the otherside towards officers how do you expect they going to act once here the law don't mean ? to these people and they show it.

Proud of her for standing up for our country and the rule of law.

Stupid politician's statement that USA and Europe should allow Indians to live there without a visa is quite unrealistic. Every country has its own immigration laws and regulations, and it's standard practice to deport individuals who don't have proper documentation or visas ¹. \n \nIn fact, even India has its own set of rules and regulations when it comes to foreign nationals living and working in the country. It's not uncommon for countries to take action against individuals who violate their laws and regulations. \n \nThe concept of visa-free travel is not entirely unheard of, though. There are currently 16 countries that offer visa-free travel to Indian citizens, including Thailand, Mauritius, Nepal, and Bhutan. However, these countries still have their own set of rules and regulations that visitors must follow. \n \nIt's worth noting that the US government has been deporting illegal immigrants, regardless of their nationality, and it's not something that the Indian Prime Minister can simply override. \n \nRather than criticizing the politician's statement, it's essential to understand the complexities of international immigration laws and regulations. It's crucial to respect the rules and regulations of other countries, just as we expect foreign nationals to respect India's laws.

In a foreign country we should abide by their rules and regulations and live. Otherwise this will happen. How can India support those who break laws ? It is wrong to expect like that.

Trump should be stopped- he has no respect. Trump Elon and the Maga cult are the ones who should be shackled as Trump is a convicted felon and insurrectionist and with his cult is dismantling the Constitution of the US and destroying democracy… he is following Hitler… this is how fascism works - please read History of Germany through the 1930s. This is shocking and a shame. A felon and insurrectionist does not follow the rule of law and hence the madness of what is happening to so many people there. May God save America and democracy from autocratic oligarchy.

This is called the rule of law. Illegals are treated this way. And this also a difference between East and West countries.

Im blk and I'm 40 years old... and EVERYTIME I BROKE THE LAW I WENT TO JAIL...im from America and rules are rules...it took me a long time to learn the law...
