Canada, join EU before it's too late

Interdiction is a nobel cause, but cannot work. History shows this to be true.\nIf the market is there, it will be supplied until those that desire it are either gone or no longer buy it.\nI support Canada over my own U.S. because thats what i believe is right.\nPull the band aid off fast, close the border, all import/exports shut off.

Canada come join the EU we love you

Stand strong CANADA ❤

?????\nLong live Canada!\nGreetings from Europe \nWe haven't forgotten what you did for us in ww2!

Maaan....I love Canada for many reasons.

Canada we love you ❤ Greetings from the Netherlands

Trump is a cancerous tumor for USA and for the whole workd! \nHe is the one who destroyed NAFTA to make a new treaty! Now he said Canada and Mexico ate taking advantage!

WAIT! Is Canada now a Canada-first country? RACIST! \n\n\nOh, right. It's only racist for the United States to think of their people first, but everyone else is completely free to do so.

Hold strong Canada, this will end badly for little donny.

From Florida we are with you Canada and Ukraine.

If I believed there was a God, I'd invoke his blessing against the courageous, stable government and people of the great nation of Canada. Wake up America. You're being played.

My apologies to Canada from Hawaii…

Doesn’t bother me, I don’t by shit from Canada anyway !!

Washington stands with Canada

Michigan stands with Canada. Rather be the 11th Province

Today is the day that US started a war against Canada. That is what US has become.

Well spoken, go Canada and I’m American Brooklyn, New York

Sounds like Canada ?? going to struggle bad in this trade war! America ?? first !

If there is no demand, there will be no offer. Blaming Mexico and Canada for not being able to control fentanyl demand in US is stupid!

As an American that lives in Canada, this is strongest Trudeau has looked in years, but don't fooled. There's lot of garbage and corruption that follows him in the years he's been in office. But at least he's showing strength on his way out.

Texas stands with Canada!

I am so sorry Canada and most US people that are against this TRUMP is a revenge filled senial acting nut who is being handled by Putin

Canada no friends anymore why? Remeber Donald Trump make Russia great again and the nuclear bombs of Russia are target on USA

Canada isn't a real country anyway! ✝️??♥️?

As an American, I support Canada 1000%. Our leader is a disgrace con man who swindled the country. I cant believe this is happening.

I have always had a great deal of respect for Canada’s government and Canadians. A very calm, stable & friendly country. Well done for standing your ground!

Please know that nearly half of us stand with Canada more than we do MAGA.

Love canada ??????????????????????????????????????

Love Canada, love what youre doimg. No dictator allowed in the free world..

I’m with Canada ?

You can bet your butt, friends of Trump are either shorting or buying stocks in whatever direction they know the market will go because of the Tariff wars. \nRooting for you Canada and Mexico. Make that money, Trump says we’re gonna have so much more money now.

Your not going to last long Canada lol I give it a month before you bend the knee ?

Canada should become part of India and become a Super Power! \nLot of Indians want to move to Canada, so it is the perfect decision. ???

Oh, Canada. Our home and fif-ty first staaaaate. ?

Watching updates on Canada's decline is a fun pastime since fleeing that sinking ship in 2020.

Let us be honest, Indian students go to Canada to become a PR or a citizen! Living standard for ordinary people in India is very poor! Like Chinese, Indians want to live in western countries and bring their relatives with them! Australia has become very strict with foreign students too! You cannot jump from student visa to PR or working visa! Overstayers in AUS will soon be deported too!

Ew Canada. If there is anywhere we need a border wall it's up there.

To be fair lending rules in Canada are pretty tight; especially compare to the USA ,their lending practices are a joke in comparison. A huge problem is that for several years we have bringing in 10 people for each housing unit built and a significant portion of those units are 300sqft micro-condos

Claiming Canada is a single US State is unjust, as far I'm concerned. All the provinces get recognition, or America can forget the whole idea.

Ille live in Canada over the hell hole next door.Is that where you learnt your reading skill and math???Do you know how to spellUSA

I think if you replace Canada with Australia you will still be correct

The brain drain for college is mostly inaccurate. It’s usually at the stage of job market due to higher salaries after a lower priced college education within Canada.

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.

FEEDBACK: I've operated various businesses in Canada and all I can say is, 'never again'. The BUREAUCRACY grows in strength every year, issuing more & more regulations, stifling everything. For every new rule a bureaucrat introduces, an old rule should be retired.\n\nHOUSING: It's the Liberal Government policy to pander to immigrant voters that has put us down the wrong path. I'm amazed that so few people in, say, Vancouver who complain about the astronomical cost of rent and mortgages realize that their problem is directly caused by our WEAK policy of permitting new immigrants to move to Vancouver & Toronto , instead of the 1,000 other towns where they're desperately needed. How stupid are we, to not even understand the policy issue? \n\nMeanwhile, I actually lost my apartment block in Winnipeg because the market value dropped below the mortgage balance and the bureaucracy was killing me with their conflicting rulings. So, why did my block drop in market value? Because people were leaving Winnipeg, and Manitoba. EVERYONE went to Vancouver or Toronto. Thanks for nothing, stupid politicians.. the opposition isn't doing their job when Canadians don't know anything about this.

I desperately want to move out of Canada. I've been born and raised here and I feel helpless. I AM EDUCATED. I DO WORK HARD. I HAVE A GOOD CAREER and yet I have no hope of ever owning a home. How is this acceptable?

These are issues not unique to Canada. Most people here in Canada don't realize this. Housing is a huge issue, and needs to be fixed. But business investment into Canada is increasing. We won't see improvement overnight, but we are marching in the right direction. \nThe tariff threat is the only looming thing that can really hold us back. With a constant threat of massive tariffs, business investment will decrease.

CANADA IS FAKE COUNTRY

Canada is soooooo irresponsible \nOur current leaders are destroying our lives to stuff their egos and pockets

Canada is doing the right thing, don't blame Canada, blame those Indian students who have abused the system
