I lived in Montana for five years moving from Ontario Canada. I returned after five years because your legal system is a joke. Healthcare is so expensive living in Canada’s way. Better get free healthcare which to me is the number one top thing.Canada has free health care everyone in need can get welfare low income housing the disabled have disabled people a paycheque each month that covers their bills and food costs. I came back when I had my daughter her dad‘s in Montana. I am in Canada now. I lived there for five years and the people are very judgmental. I find and drugs are so much more accessible in the US. I found the racism just blunt in the US Like people don’t even try to hide it jobs in Montana at that time I was making three dollars an hour minimum wage when we were getting paid $10 an hour in Canada at that time so minimum wage is way higher

Canada is way to woke\nOver price homes and any drugs is ok .\nTks Liberals, you sure know how to turn a country upside down.\nCanada ?? used to be bilingual, now, where bi.. al\nGid helps us canadians.

That country must be a terror of hell to live in and to obey the words of Jesus. If you don't make drugs or transport, murder, and sale, give your life to those cartels down there for the drugs and all other evil they do down there.

Let me take your story further. There been a number of suicides amongst Indian students, some have been hooked on drugs, some girls have turned to prostitution and many girls have been sexually take advantage by their Indian / Punjabi landlords and employers. The situation is dire. My advice: Stay in India, the education is better, the social life is better, the food is better, the vibe is better. Money is not everything. Being happy is. Canada has cleaner air, water & streets but the cost is very high. It's a struggle not just for immigrants or students, it's hard for locals. To buy an average detached home (bungalow) in Toronto / Vancouver is over C$1 million. To qualify for a mortgage with 20% down payment, one would need an income of $200,000. FYI, that's a doctors salary.

You have health insurance through your job, but it takes forever to get approved for X-rays, MRIs drugs

If anyone knew how bad and unsafe life is in Juarez Mexico you wouldn't blame people from trying to run out of there. With the drug violence it's normal to just see dead bodies hanging from the side of a freeway together or laying on the streets. It's normal for young women to be kidnapped and killed. Normal for even the reporters reporting on the cartels to be killed. Many people don't even feel safe leaving their homes. Given half a chance I would try to run in there too but I understand the concern that we just can't let so many people in our country. I see both sides.

They say immigrants I say invasion....I see a bunch of military aged men/women at the front of this. I see child/human trafficking, drugs, gangs, and a drain on our society the free border idea perpetuated this madness. Our previous administration should be collectively tried for treason and fined for each immigrant allowed in.

I watched your report on London Ontario's problem with drug distribution centers... I thought that you give it a good effort and it was really worth my time to watch it, it presented some real truths that inspire me to grow more truths within my mind about the situation, and that is what is needed for people to create solutions. You did a service by presenting that report. However you really missed the mark on this report about Brampton... in many many ways. You need to do more research, you can't 'lead' your interviewee's, and you have to provide information, facts. There were all kinds of directions you could have gone with the comment provided by the people you spoke to, there were all kinds of facts that you could have brought to the table. There IS perhaps a story there, but you didn't find one worth telling. It looks like you're really dedicated to this pursuit of reporting, and it it looks like you're a one man team... this work is hard to do, you should consider getting some help 'putting dots together' and creating your presentations.

Hi everyone, I'm just going to weigh in some experience here. These people have given up on their government to fix things. They had it good before when Venezuela was wealthy not so long ago. They want that back. Who wouldn't. They want a chance at a better life . They have in most cases already sold all possessions for traveling money and bribes or security. They are scared and tired of traveling. They got told to come to America by someone. I wish we could afford as a country to take them all and it be ok and they build a good life here. I wish it was like that. The system we have needs work for certain. The USA is being overwhelmed by too many coming. We have to slow the roll . But it's a bad situation for all involved. They will look for an illegal way if needed to make it. Hence the cartels step in and offer a way in exchange for money or drug smuggling and the trouble gets worse. There is no simple solution here. Rough on everyone.

lol lol so white people are poor and drug addicts cus of indians?

It’s obvious the cartel is pushing this so they can smuggle drugs further down the line

White people have more opportunities than any immigrants that come in, but you still see only them doing drugs and being homeless. It clearly shows laziness and lack of competence.

I'm from Brazil, living in Brazil, and would like to understand why the drug crises happened in Canada? Because everyone complain but not explain the real cause. It seems that the answer could ofend people because is a political platform related to the liberals. Please, someone could say something about it with honesty? Because it could happen in anyplace throughout the world. The Canada case is very important because it was a very rich country that degraded itself very fast.

what does the modern world offer them? you might say medicine but would they need it if not for modernised peoples? i'm sure there are some aspects of modern life they'd like such as anaesthesia and antibiotics (if someone got injured and needed surgery for example), new yummy foods and so on but it would also mean drug addiction, alcoholism, fast food, depression, unemployment, suicides, racism, chronic illness, alienation and knowledge of how a modern lifestyle is dependent on exploitation of other people and destroying their home at every turn. they are better off without us. we can learn a lot from Indigenous peoples around the world

What.is that meant as they the drugs dealers,;house breakers;robbery etc

They were in the U.S.A illegally, which is a crime. What if someone moved into your house without permission? Would you want them in your house? You numb nut, Shashi Tharoor is always gloating about how great India is. If India is so great, why do you lot Indians go to the U.S.A? And when you go to the U.S.A., all you do is criticise the country, saying it's poor, full of drug addicts, and so on.

The cartels may be using people to draw boarder guards away from other areas so they can get their drugs across the border?? Because none of these people have luggage ?

When did you ever see an Indian drug dealer or gang member? Y’all just sent home possible future engineers and doctors lol

Don't join to use my money to get surgery. With that said if your all ready trans and have the full body of your opposite sex; and are okay with times you don't get drugs every day then I dont care. Also women can not keep up with men on the ground and if they can and pass all the tests that men do, without a handicap and if drugs are not available then they should be ok with that. If a trans women flys then more power to that person but they should have the complete body of a women. In sports there are no cis women trans in mens sports, there is a reason for that. Men are stronger than women even with drugs, and women are weaker then men even with drugs and that is why no men are complaining about women playing in their sports. The enlistment is higher than in over 15 years.

Good job USA, these punjabis are faking their documents including degrees , age and IELTS exam to enter illegally and legally to abroad.\nThey are openly selling English language tests (IELTS) inside punjab , gujrath and haryana. This is a lesson for scammers and government who support this nonsense.\nThere are lot of punjabis here in Canada who came on scammed documents and living here by selling drugs, car theft ,robbery, selling drives license and lot of other crimes which defames the whole Indian community?.

Too many games and too many dramas, and the local people going with drugs and alcohol to manage this stress .

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 .

We went to Toronto 2 years ago and it felt like heaven ! I had no idea that Canada was going through hard times (I don’t watch the news !) When I watched the first minutes of your video I was about to tell you « well, same here in France »… but I have to say that the pictures of people on drugs are shocking ! Maybe France isn’t that bad, not yet ?\nWe are experiencing hard times and unfortunately I’m not optimistic for the future. Luckily I live in the countryside and I try to have a simple way of life. I wish you luck in your new life !

Many Americans are happy because illegals are being deported. Trump is giving you what you need to be happy, drugs and racism. Maybe Mexico should stop sending drugs and all minorities leave the country, you will then turn to each other and collapse the country.

Good \nBut the problem is - we want our Gov here to be as strict and find if they all are really Indians \nAjeeb ajeeb fraud, mafia chal rahi hein duniya mein \nHuman Trafficking and Drug Trafficking are consequences of these DUNKI methods. \nHope people don’t waste their precious lives, money, land and gold for these kind of criminal activities. \n\nAnd those who are criminals stay out of India as well. \nWe don’t want you here.

Why is america all9wing Columbia Mexico afghistan to carry on trading drugs its all about money and greed

If america really cared they cud have stopped the drug trades in Columbia and Mexico and Afghanistan this wudnt have happened but we all who r clever and educated know the white man is the biggest game player ...

theyr making you mad,ready to go to their war .drugs starvation ,making you brave.what does the king have to say now,about his friends from the s.s.

In Canada, it’s become obvious there’s a lot of fraud when it comes to Indians coming as int’l students. Not to mention the Kalistanis who are often linked to weapons and drugs, as well as their “protests”, highlighting their fight for à kalistani homeland, where swords and knives are brandished openly.

Nothing is hidden because of social media. Criminal activity like drugs , burglary and car hijacking is rapidly increasing.\nIt is not safe for local Canadians then think who will protect Indian immigrants.\nRise in Racism because of political instability is another reason to be worried about.\nIllegal immigrants and refugee without background verification are settled with govt monetary support. It is from the tax of the public they running such programs.\nI saw India girls are easily getting targeted for sexual favour and live in relationships as no relatives to look after.\nHigh Taxes.\nIf any parent deciding to apply for education loan please rethink current scenario is difficult later blaming kids is of no use…

Invasion!! Dems want this. They want drugs they want murder they want chaos they just can help themselves..

He should deport some of these black gangbanger and drug dealers

I don’t understand why they want into a country that is so screwed up. Unless of course they want to get away with murder or sell drugs.

How many of those twenty years were served as a man? I assume he/she, has to take a bunch of drugs to claim his femininity. How do you take them while on active duty in a war zone.

Why don’t the government look and see how many days a week how many years we work and so you know what let’s give this family since they’re not making as much as a rich family and let’s go to this upper class Rich family at work hard let’s give them a break where they need it see People can’t spend money or throw money at certain things and expect people to get by but if you wanna come somewhere, why do they do it like this because they see the blacks act crazy in America that’s why they thought they could come to America and do the same thing. It’s common damn sense manjust like a white collar criminal he’ll look in the face and tell you that there’s nothing he can do and there’s a lot he could’ve done and did and do.? but the problem is we need to stick together as people and not let our jobs dictate who we are and make us think we’re better than the average person that only makes $30,000 a year and can’t buy their children the nicest things that they would like because the most important thing to them is having a roof over their head and paying the bills and that’s what upsets me with people in this world they got all this help to fight drugs they got all in the world to fight this, but what about the little guy? What about the little woman the little family guy look out for them?? can’t just say oh here’s church food that shit ain’t good enough. I’m very thankful to the churches that help people with some of them food banks even a church knows it doesn’t help it gets them bye and if you think getting by is healthy when you can’t work a good day because your stomach‘s so low because your children are more important to eat than you? this is why America can’t take care of their own because they’re too busy taking care of the fake

The Use money taken in Crime border drug bust etc to fund. Ice military etc let cartels pay the bills

Update 3/2/25 Canada and Mexico caved to Trump's demands and are giving him what he wants, the stop the flow of illegal aliens and drugs into the US on the Mexico/US/Canada borders. Canada and Mexico now joins Columbia, Venezuela, and Panama for countries bending the knee to Trump's demands. This video did not age well with Trudeau imposing tariffs on American products into Canada.

Trudeau could care less about border security or illegal drugs. Now that terriffs are here, he acts like Canada is being pushed for no reason. What a pathetic man.

How are you documenting undocumented drugs and people who are chronically liars

No American citizen can enter any other country without the legal documents. Otherwise they're breaking the law. Just like you are trying to do it the right way. Why don't you fight your own Cartel get rid of them get rid of the drugs , Murders, Rapist just like the u s does well come up grow some balls

The US wants to stop illegal immigration and the importation of drugs from Mexico.\nMexico does not care at all. (For decades)\nNow, a *US President with balls* , acting for his country, is doing something! \nThe same goes for China, which is the main chemical drug producer (Fentanyl) exporting to the USA.\nWhy blame a President who acts for his country?

Mexico sells drugs.

Almost ALL our illegal guns, drugs and illegal border crossings come from the United States! Not the other way around. It sucks being beside a country in collapse with a failed democracy run by foreign government lobbies and wall street/tech oligarchs

The tariffs were to incentivise Canada and Mexico to help stop the flow of fentanyl into the u.s. the tariffs didn't need to happen. if these governments helped curb drug flow by securing their own borders there wouldn't have been tariffs. Instead they sided with China that makes the drug that kills 15,000 people a year in the u.s.. these people's blood is on your hands and your reason for doing it? you don't like trump.. you just had to secure the borders so people would stop needlessly dying, but you just wouldn't do it..

? I LOST SOME OF MY FINGER TIPS FROM GANGRENE AND IT WASN'T PRETTY ! PLEASE ROSE TAKES THE HELP & RUN WITH IT ! I'M ALMOST 10 YRS CLEAN FROM SOME REALLY NASTY DRUGS ! IN THE LONG RUN IT IS WORTH IT!

I ALSO HAVE A HUGE SCAR FROM JUST BELOW MY BREAST DOWN TO WHERE THE SUN DOESN'T SHINE ! I'M 58 BUT I SOME TIMES I FEEL LIKE 98 ! LOL I'M PRAYING THAT YOU TAKES THE GIFT FROM THIS GUY !

Trump says EU tariffs will ‘definitely happen’ as Mexico, Canada and China retaliate \nTrump takes softer line on UK, saying ‘I think that one can be worked out’, while Mexico and Canada vow levies and to strengthen ties with each other \n \nPhilip Wen, Léonie Chao-Fong and agencies \nMon 3 Feb 2025 03.57 GMT \nShare \nDonald Trump has threatened to widen the scope of his trade tariffs, repeating his warning that the European Union – and potentially the UK – will face levies, even as he conceded that Americans could bear some of the economic brunt of a nascent global trade war. \n \nIt comes as Trump’s tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China, announced on Saturday, sparked retaliation from all three countries. Mexico and Canada have vowed levies of their own while China and Canada are seeking legal challenges. \n \nTrump said on Sunday night that new tariffs on the EU will “definitely happen”, repeating previous complaints about the large US trade deficit with the bloc and his desire for Europe to import more American cars and agricultural products. \n \nEmpty shelves remain with signs ''Buy Canadian Instead'' after the top five US liquor brands were removed from sale at a British Columbia liquor store in Vancouver. \nAsian sharemarkets tumble in response to Trump tariffs \nRead more \n“It will definitely happen with the European Union, I can tell you that,” he told reporters. “I wouldn’t say there’s a timeline but it’s going to be pretty soon.” \n \nTrump appeared to take a softer line on the UK, citing a good relationship with prime minister Keir Starmer while saying tariffs still “might happen”. “The UK is out of line but I’m sure that one, I think that one can be worked out,” he said. \n \n“Well Prime Minister Starmer’s been very nice, we’ve had a couple of meetings, we’ve had numerous phone calls, we’re getting along very well, we’ll see whether or not we can balance out our budget.” \n \nIn Canada, the department of finance published a list of US products imported into Canada that it will target with a 25% retaliatory tariff starting on Tuesday. \n \nThe list shows products that will be hit in the first round of retaliatory tariffs by Canada starting on Tuesday, and mounts to $30bn Canadian dollars’ worth of goods (about US$20bn). The impacted products include tobacco, produce, household appliances, firearms and military gear. \n \nCanada is also preparing for a second, broader round of retaliatory tariffs in 21 days that will target an additional C$125bn (US$86bn) worth of US imports. The second list would include passenger vehicles, trucks, steel and aluminum products, certain fruits and vegetables, beef, pork, dairy products and more. \n \nFILES-US-CANADA-MEXICO-CHINA-TRADE-TARIFFS<br>(FILES) US President Donald Trump speaks to the press after signing an executive order in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC on January 31, 2025. Trump is imposing steep tariffs on major US trading partners Canada, Mexico and China, with a lower rate on Canadian energy imports, said the White House on February 1, 2025. Washington will impose a 25 percent levy on imports from Canada and Mexico, with a 10 percent rate on Canadian energy resources, until both work with the United States on drug trafficking and immigration. Goods from China, said the White House, would face 10 percent tariffs.

Sheinbaum, in a statement on Sunday, said she will announce details on her government’s “plan B” as she insisted that Mexico “doesn’t want confrontation”. \n \n“Problems are not addressed by imposing tariffs, but with talks and dialogue,” she said. “Sovereignty is not negotiable: coordination yes, subordination no.” \n \n'Coordination yes, subordination no': Mexican president responds to Trump's tariffs – video \nSheinbaum and Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau spoke by phone on Saturday after Trump’s administration imposed the new tariffs – 25% on goods from Canada and Mexico, with a lower rate of 10% for Canadian oil, and 10% on imports from China. \n \nTrudeau’s office said in a statement that Canada and Mexico agreed “to enhance the strong bilateral relations” between their countries. Canadian officials have had extensive dialogue with their Mexican counterparts, but a senior Canadian official said he would not go as far as to say the tariff responses were coordinated. \n \n“Now is the time to choose products made right here in Canada,” Trudeau posted Sunday on X. “Check the labels. Let’s do our part. Wherever we can, choose Canada.” \n \nTrump acknowledged the sweeping tariffs he has imposed on Mexico, Canada and China may cause “short term” pain for Americans as global markets reflected concerns the levies could undermine growth and reignite inflation. Asian markets, cryptocurrencies and US and European stock futures slumped in early Asian trading on Monday. \n \n“We may have short term some little pain, and people understand that. But long term, the United States has been ripped off by virtually every country in the world,” he said. day, Trudeau said: “We’re certainly not looking to escalate, but we will stand up for Canada.” However on Sunday evening, a senior government official from Canada briefing reporters in Ottowa on condition of anonymity said: “We will obviously pursue the legal recourse that we believe we have through the agreements that we share with the United States.” \n \nThe official said the Canadian government considered the move by Trump illegal and said it violates the trade commitments between the two countries under their free trade agreement and under the World Trade Organization. \n \n“If other legal avenues are available to us, they will be considered as well,” the official said. \n \nCanada is the largest export market for 36 states, and Mexico is the largest trading partner of the US. \n \nCanada and Mexico ordered the tariffs despite Trump’s further threat to increase the duties charged if retaliatory levies are placed on US goods. \n \nChina also said it would file a lawsuit against the tariffs. The imposition of tariffs by the US “seriously violates” World Trade Organization (WTO) rules, China’s commerce ministry said in a statement, urging the US to “engage in frank dialogue and strengthen cooperation”. \n \nFiling a lawsuit with the WTO would be a largely symbolic move that Beijing has also taken against tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles by the EU. \n \nThe commerce ministry also said the tariffs were “not only unhelpful in solving the US’s own problems, but also undermine normal economic and trade cooperation”. China has said it would take countermeasures to “safeguard its own rights and interests”. It is not clear exactly what form these will take yet. But for weeks Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning has said Beijing believes there is no winner in a trade war. \n \nLate Sunday night, Trump said he would speak with Trudeau on Monday morning and shortly after said he would speak with Mexico as well, although he did not specify that he would speak with Sheinbaum. \n \nBeyond the official response, people were already thinking of ways to cope with Trump’s decision, including by sharing suggestions on social media for alternatives to US products. \n \nCanadian hockey fans booed the US national anthem on Saturday night at two National Hockey League games. The booing continued on Sunday at an NBA game in Toronto where the Raptors played the Los Angeles Clippers. \n \nFrom left to right, Toronto Raptors forwards Bruce Brown, Scottie Barnes and Chris Boucher react as fans boo the United States national anthem before NBA basketball game action against the Los Angeles Clippers in Toronto, Sunday, Feb. 2, 2025. (Frank Gunn/The Canadian Press via AP) \nToronto Raptors fans boo US national anthem after Donald Trump tariffs \nRead more \nOne fan at the Raptors game chose to sit during the anthem while wearing a Canada hat. Joseph Chua, who works as an importer, said he expects to feel the tariffs “pretty directly”. “I’ve always stood during both anthems. I’ve taken my hat off to show respect to the American national anthem, but today we’re feeling a little bitter about things,” he said, adding that he will start to avoid buying US products. \n \nIn the streets, people in Mexico were trying to absorb the announcement on Sunday, although some in the capital acknowledged that they were unaware of the measures. \n \nIn the border city of Mexicali, across from Calexico, California, some people were concerned about the wider implications of a trade war. \n \nDriver Alejandro Acosta says that he crosses the border weekly in his truck to deliver vegetables to US companies. He said he fears US businesses in the Mexicali Valley will no longer want to operate in Mexico and they will move to the US. \n \n“If they raise taxes on the factories here, jobs may also decrease,” he said.

There is something Canada and Mexico don't get, Trump put tariffs because of the illegal trade that comes across the borders, illegal immigrants, gangs and drugs and because he thinks, right or wrong, that Mexico and Canada don't do enough to stop it. Now Mexico and Canada put tariffs on the US, because the US puts tariffs on them, they don't even try to defend their position or debunk what trump is saying about the illegal goods coming in. Trump must be right then, no?

The American president is missing the point, all these billions going to Israel, can also be spent on the American people by investing these billions on fighting drugs and addictions within the country, instead of sending it to war criminals in Israel

It has nothing to do with illegal immigration or drugs into the US. The Canadian border is only responsible for 1% of illegal immigration into the US. As for fentanyl, the problem is not coming from Canada.

She is with the cartels ...she wants drugs coming in the states
