If you go to an emergency room even in a small town where they only have one hospital in Canada you will be treated immediately if you have a severe condition there is no waiting

I like Firstpost because she usually says it like it is. But this time she’s way too biased and went straight to play victim. Doesn’t she know how in places like Australia and Canada thousands of Indian people on temporary visas have taken to the streets to protest that these countries want to “deport” them when their visas are expired and they decided to overstay their welcome? Also, Indians used to be pretty quiet and kept to themselves… At least where I live! But lately they’re more and more unruly, and act like they own the place. A good dose of self-awareness wouldn’t hurt her.

quebec as no.1???\nhave you ever been to canada???\nu gotta be kidding

Almost 1 million Indians people are gonna deported to India ?? here in Canada ?? eh Hopefully they will be all Well they thinks they can be immigrants rights away being international students

Both the US and Canada are illegitimate countries under the illegal occupation of the whites of European breeds who bred like rats after illegally occupying the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand and used the wealth looted from India and elsewhere to establish themselves in those new lands after decimating the natives.\nThey maintained racial segregation until the 1970s and supported apartheid in South Africa until the 1990s and non-whites continued to be racially abused and get killed until today.\nHope the Mexicans and the natives will be able to drive them out and restore civilization and revive the past glory of the Olmecs, Mayas, Teotihuacans, Toltecs, and Aztecs. The US also has nukes pointed at India from Diego Garcia and refuses to return the Chagos Archipalego to Mauritius.

20,000 applied for student visas but went missing as soon as they got into Canada ??

I will blame Canada's liberal government, and it's politicians for their unnecessary public statements, and rhetoric which resulted into the increased racism towards all south asians in Canada, specially to the east Indians.

False information. Canada never had quality education. Students used this pathway as an easier route to PR.

RIP CANADA??

Canada ?? is losing it's reputation as a welcoming ? country for international students/migrants, particularly to Indians, due to high inflation, lack of accommodations, lack of jobs, Racism etc . This is mainly because of too many immigrants who have landed into the country after the Covid. \nIt is better that Indians think twice before embarking a journey to Canada ??.

India and Indian students and other like minded people should support Trump plan of Canada merge with USA will be good for all! All Indian & other like minded voters in Canada should unite and form an association for collective bargaining show the strength like Sikh group and Islamist groups in Canada. Disunity in Indians are the biggest root cause of all problems Indians faces in West! Irrespective of party affiliation - all Indian must show their solidarity and make local politicians & lawmakers can't ignore and undermine your interest!

I have spent quite a bit of time in USA and I always find my experience split. For the most part the people and places are great. As a filmmaker I have shot in NYC, California, Mississippi to name a few. The people were always accommodating and friendly. One time a gentlemen and his wife that allowed us to film in his property would bring us hot chocolate at night, then offered to shoot anyone who got in our way. I was also filming in the desert in 2009 and I almost got shot in the face by a group of police officers that charged in guns out and tempers raging, before realizing that we had film permits and were scheduled to be on site. Only to have the crew say that if I was black they would have shot first and asked questions later. As tensions rise between Canada and USA with Trump's trade war and attempt to ANNEX Canada I think I will do my filming in other parts of the world, if not in Canada. I have plenty of American friends and know a lot of Canadians that live in the US. I just hope things settle between our two nations soon. Where do you live? Interested to see what part of the States you live in.

what country wouldn’t do this to people that illegally snuck into their country / over stayed the visa time….. the will find you and arrest you! canada. russia. china. every country. why is AMERICA so bad for protecting OUR country????? some people are just looneys that support those immigrants protesting in OUR COUNTRY waving flags of the country they from….. go HOME if you love it so much to be that goofy to wave said flags in american streets.

This should be a lesson to the thousands of illegal migrants. Canada @JustinTrudeau when will you learn this from President Trump. \n\n@NarendraModi you too need to take a lesson from your friend President Trump

If theres a god please let this continue and include Canada we desperately need this ????

Well nothing like that, I live in Canada and can verify that. Problem is quality of immigrants, especially student is trash in Canada, Australia and Europe. They come to shady universities for studies, work full time both legally and illegally rather than studying and at end of their education, they have a fake degree with zero value. Just like most of the new graduates in India who have a degree with no practical value. \nIf you have a good degree, right skills in tech and some experience, there are tons of opportunities in Canada. I cuss Canada everyday but that's because I lived 10 years of life - studies and work in USA. So whether I move to Canada or any other country in the world, I would do the same as US has no equal in the world. I lived in US for 10 years, then India for 3 years and came to Canada 3 years back. I would still move to India after getting Canadian citizenship, but not because Canada has something bad or India has something exceptional to offer, but because I want to live with my parents in India. Thats the reason I left US but came to Canada to get a backup.

The reasons you gave cited are not exclusive for Indians, it is for everyone.\nAlso if Indians have to pick up jobs not according to their education is a clear indicator that the Indians are not hyper intelligent as they are made to look in the media. That means they would not have gotten a work related visa if they had not graduated from Canada.

As for your health care system tied to your job, it means that you are in some respects not free to quit your job if you are having health issues. In Canada if you hate your job, you quit. You don't have to keep working because your healthcare is always guaranteed. job or no job.

I am not leaving Canadian, no where butter than canada. ?? our home land. I love ? canada more than my heart!!!!

CANADA DONT TAKE. FUCK. REFUGE.

I can’t even visit Canada without strict background checks. You got a DUI forget it.

Canada should stop export oil to US....

It's not zero sum game. It's pretty foolish for US to treat Canada such a way, they are not only their neighbor but, their ally. Furthermore, US crude oil production is at deficit if compared to their consumption. So, if Canada stop exporting crude, US economy and industries will collapse.

Hit a rock(US) at butter(Canada) , butter loses; hit butter at rock, butter loses.

Canada should become a European country and make close relationship with France

I’ve read many comments urging Canada to reduce its exposure to the us. It’s reasonable but that doesn’t happen overnight. Refineries, for example, are custom built - they can’t process all crudes. They’d cost several billion to build and at least 3-5 years; plus, you need railways and port infrastructure to ship out oil or its byproducts. This should have been started in 2017 (trump’s 1st term). In the short term, free trade zones within Canada and Mexico may alleviate some of the tariffs.

The reality of the situation is that while Canada’s retaliatory tariffs will hurt the US a little, Trump’s tariffs hurt Canada a lot! Right now we’re in a moment where Canadian politicians of all stripes need to placate the public’s demand for retaliation, however no matter who the next PM is, they will quickly and quietly be working to undo whatever factors led to this situation. That will mean acquiescing to Trump’s border demands among other concessions. One would be forgiven for thinking Trudeau should have just gone along with them in the first place and spared Canada the pain.

Omg. Retaliation!! Retaliation!!! ?? This is what happens when people get use to getting their way. In this case countries like Canada, China and Mexico. They act like entitled children. Meanwhile, I’m pretty sure President Trump saw this coming. He’s 3 steps ahead of y’all if you haven’t figured it out already. President Trump is a chess master. He’s applying the same methods that made him a billionaire on a global scale. Mark my words. Got my popcorn ready to go ??

God Bless canada! ?❣️

Way to screw Alaska. Many Alaskans drive through Canada to get to Alaska by car. That or an expensive 3 day ferry trip.

Texas' economy is bigger than Canada's. Do we really want to do boycotts?

I thought Trudeau resigned. This is all Trudeau's fault. Trudeau has completely ruined Canada.

We have a 200 billion dollar deficit with Canada time to fix it!

lmao Yeah please stop selling oil to the US so Canada will collapses overnight instead of 4 mths with their already pathetic economy it will get much much worse especially when Canada has to start printing money and their unemployment goes to 12-=13%. US does not need Canada and never did.

In 2024, the trade deficit between the United States and Canada was $45 billion. According to recent data, Mexico's trade deficit in 2024 is reported to be around $8.2 billion. Let's fix that too.

Canada dont worry Europe want import from you. USA is not the only one who want goods.

52% Canada export go to US, 72% Mexico export go to US , and they talk about retaliation, what a clown???

Good, now we need to stop sending every country foriegn aid. We hired President Donald Trump to do these things. This will hurt Mexico and Canada far more than it will the United States. It is very hypocritical for other country's that already have tariffs on American made products to say that it is wrong for the United States to tariff their products. We do not care that it will crush your economies because we are done with propping up your economy at the expense of American workers and jobs. It is absolutely amazing that fair trading has practices are scaring your country's.

I'm from eastern EU. I hope EU can make an improved trade agreement with Canada. One that will last future decades. \n\nThey are a reliable partner. My country (Romania) has been using Canadian CANDU nuclear tech for our reactors since the 1970s and we are collaborating again for other new reactors. This is what governments want : stable democracies + reliable partners. Canada has both.

So Canada will pay a extra 25% for their Rice Krispies treats and we will pay a extra 25% for our ice cream. Got it.

CANADA HAS ONLY ONE OPTION, WHICH IS TO GIVE THEIR DREAM OF SOVEREIGNTY AND BE THE 51TH STATE…IF WE SUBSIDIZE THEN WE OWN THE RESOURCES…PERIOD

To be honest all trump got to do is stop the funding for both of them and also stop taking Canada lumber ?

USA has more oil and gas than Canada and Mexico together. We are top #1 in almost everything. Only manufacturing that we sent to China , and now we are bringing it back. That’s how strong the USA is . Resist and perish

Food rationing < Worthless currency < Homeless explosion < Collapse of Canada < 51st state.

Yes Canada will suffer, but they did not start the tariff war.

Trudeau is lying - Canada is the only country in the world with ALL DRUGS LEGAL....!!

Donald Trump has never been treated fairly by Europe, Canada, Mexico, China, Colombia, Judges, Proscutors, and Democrats. Is Donald whinning? You be the judge!!

SHAME on Donald Trump. He's mad, punishing both Mexico, Canada, AND Americans.

I think all this shows is that Canada relies too heavily on the USA. A new economic bloc needs to be formed.

Mexico and Canada having communist leaders?
