Immigration MAY play a role in rising prices... In fact, it's negligible. Private Equity and Corps are using the excuse of 'immigration' to intentionally drive up prices. Why have prices increased generally. The Gov't printed too much money to keep the Corps/Bay St Happy and share prices up. They should have just rode it out like the rest of the World (aside from Western Countries, You see the exact same thing happening... Rising costs, mass immigration, etc. coincidence? ?) . So in fact, it's not that things got more expensive... our currency deflated. Aside from US and EU at least... majority of our immigrants aren't illegals, refugees, people seeking asylum, etc. They actually can bring value to the economy (some would disagree... ?, besides that). As long as the Gov't ends the TFW BS... we'll be fine. Maybe... Doesn't help when Can Officials are sharing the bed with Sikh business Tycoons... Jagmeet, Danielle, etc. That's a story for another time.

I appreciate the effort these two women are making to educate Canadians about their own country, but! I can see that their focus is strictly the Gen Z crowd, who really need educating, but not by a couple of foreigners who are just trying to make a living. Good for them. I admire your tenacity. But, ladies there are 10 provinces and 3 territories in Canada. Here's something you may not know...Canada is the second largest nation in land mass only after Russia...FYI!\nNow if you had lived in Canada for over 70 years; as some of us have; you would come to have realized that there is NO central Canadian culture. There are 13 different cultures and societies associated through a federation with a central government in Ottawa. Every province is unique in its politics, social programs, even cultural events. Not every province and territory celebrates the same holidays, memorials or statutory holidays.\nPeople in Newfoundland are as different from the rest of Canada as the Scots and Irish are in their homelands. Alberta has cowboys, BC has sailors, Saskatchewan has wheat and Manitoba has the Guess Who and mosquitos. Ontario is just arrogant, Quebec is just Quebec. There is NOTHING Canadian about Quebec. If they had it their way they would have been independent since the 1750s. They don't even like to speak English. They do it out of obligation to the federation. \nThe Maritimes are again, unique unto themselves. They could easily be an independent nation and then their true culture would shine. Why they practically speak a different language. They have been here longer than any of us and are in fact the most unique culture in all of Canada with the exception of one very important factor:\nThe First Nations of Canada. Their culture is as different from 'European' as Indian is from Chinese or Russian and Korean. \nAnd they have been here for thousands of years. Are. you addressing them as well in your broad stroke analysis of my great country?\nYou need to get to know this country from those who have been here long enough to educate YOU.\nWith all due respect I think you over reached your grasp of the situation. You can't learn about a nation just by travelling around and talking to people. You have to live here...for a long time. Good luck and effort though.

21:58 well, but as an European, me and my family know language, respect rules and we are even more polite than Canadians, do we deserve to be here? ?\nIt is a strange sentence, because it is not privilege to have a good healthcare or job, I can’t even talk about house. It is why I sacrifice my good life, my European education and a lot of money to came here, to have even a better life and opportunities and give the best from myself to society, but I see that it is one way transaction, and we are the site which doesn’t receive anything back. I believe Canada has nothing to offer for Europeans and that will not change. I believe that Canadians need to start about emigration in more smart way, not quantity but quality, and then they need to offer something as an exchange. Canada needs skilled migrants more than skilled migrants need Canada, and it is time to stop thinking that Canada is so generous that accept skilled migrants and force them to work in the store or as an Uber because of lack of work and high cost of life ? This is why small amount of Europeans or Americans come here, so only people from Asia and Africa maybe see some reason to came.

Good to see. Over immigration is ruining canada. Our own people have housing problems. Young people pushed out of fast food jobs. On and on. Nightmare

I didn’t see many comments on the education system. \n\nThe quality of the US education in elementary, middle and high school is far less than in Canada. Post secondary has young people getting out of school with exorbitant debt.\n\nIt just another reason not to move to the US.

The problem is neoliberalism and capitalism. The 2 main political parties are hand in glove with neoliberalism and capitalism. They won't fix anything because they are in bed with corporations and the wealthiest. We need strong unions and way stronger rights for workers. The real reasons for low productivity? 2 weeks of vacation, no sick days, low wage economy etc etc. People are stressed, exhausted and they see work no longer pays. Even those on 60k a year. Capitalism has broken society and so has neoliberalism. I hope you don't become a sounding board for Poilievre...that would be very, very sad. Immigration is indeed a problem and the fact is too many politicians are no longer interested in sound public policy. Politics by slogans to match the news cycle and people's hunger for immediate knowledge through social media is what we see and is preyed on by the powerful.

Are reporters stupid? of course its low now after Trump got elected. Of curse its goin to be low now because BIDEN AND KAMALA were inviting illegals to come and cross the border. are you stupid of what. people are not going to risk the little what they have so they can be deported. but if you offer them housing, free healthcare, money, free child support and free food like BIDEN/KAMALA you will see the number go up again. Are you that stupid really?

India has 1.4 Billion people and Canada has 40 million. So Canada has less that 3% of India's population. A program where there is open unllimited immigration from India will completely wipe out Canadian civilization. Any intelligen person ought to be able to see this. Heck they should have seen it 20 years ago. I did and I'm not even Canadian. But then again Canadians voted for the current PM.

…OHHHH CANADA ?? ✨?????????….\n\n….Canadians are not proud of anything. I have lived here for many years, and people are sad, insecure, and afraid; they do not feel good about their reality! This is NOT me saying it; it is the feeling of the real Canadians themselves.....????????…..\n\n….They filled their society with people from the third world without telling them how to handle this; they were not educated about that. ???????‍?️??…..\n\n….Canadians tell me that the little Canadian talent goes to countries that are genuinely first-world. Therefore, there is only the average Canadian in Canada, who the Canadians themselves say is very mediocre and do not like effort. They feel threatened by foreign talent and become even more insecure because they see themselves overwhelmed by third-world people whom they consider inferior.??????????‍↔️????‍?????……\n\n….And how, in reality, they are racist at heart since white supremacy is encrypted in their soul, institutions, and everything. This causes them even more frustration because they cannot be better than the poor third-worlders who discriminate so much...?????????????????????????????……\n\n….Oh, Canada❤️! On the verge of collapse....\n\n….We love Canada ?? and we wish them the best…..✨❤️?????????????……

The problem I see it that Palestinians aren’t mistakenly considered a nationality or ethnicity. They are not. Palestinians aren’t ethnicity or nationality. Palestinian is historical and geographical term that being used to describe people who live in that nonexistent Palestine. Those people majority are Arabs. NOT to be confused with Arabs say from UAE for example. Just like Europeans aren’t ethnicity or different so Arabs. A Dutch isn’t Hungarian and a Norwegian isn’t Slovakian . The most Palestinian Arabs belong to Egyptian Arabs. They also have huge minority Turks and Iranians. Palestinian Arabs aren’t related to other Arabs. All they have in common is is a similar religion and language that might be similar or the same however that’s doesn’t make them related to Arabs who live i for example in Saudi Arabia or United Arab Emirates. Palestinians most likely descendants of the Mamluks, Egyptian Arabs and descendants of Turks and Iranians.

Govt wants more people from developing nations, yet they don't want to build hosing, mass transit or any form of infrastructure, not even a protected bike lane. A couple of weeks ago 3 days before I am due for my first vacation in 8 years, I broke a tooth and tried to see a dentist, no appointments for 4 months. A week later, I am waiting to check into my hotel in Bangkok when I decided to break, and I went to the dentist had some X-rays taken, and 2 teeth pulled out took which less than an hour and cost $104.76. Do you see how the system can fail in many different ways?

Americans dont really do agriculture work. Their not going to sit their and pay the average american 20 to 25 dollars an hour and keep food prices the same. How are they going to round up 15 million illegals anyways? How are they going to find all 15 million illegals? Their not going to. People are complaining about the price of eggs and pork and i would love to see the price of these things when they have to start paying people 20 to 25 dollars and i almost guarantee people would stop eating pork or eggs.

stop bringing so many indians and middle east people here, they come here with a lot of problems, they're fighting on our streets, taking peoples jobs, replacing the culture ... here in Ontario I barely see Halloween or Christmas -- because so many indians have moved into my neighborhood. 23 years ago, these streets were all about Christmas ...lights and all. Now .. nothing .. instead of Christmas music all I hear them blasting their ridiculous primitive out of tune noise ... AKA middle east music and indian music ... feel like I am somewhere in the middle east not in Canada.

The most unfortunate result of the presidential election is that Trump thinks he won because people like him and now has a mandate for his reckless policies. He doesn’t seem to understand that the only reason he won was because people don’t like Kamala Harris’s woke agenda, the problem with the border, Biden economics and her stupidity. America was forced to choose between two totally inept, incompetent idiots and chose what they perceived to be the lesser of two evils. Now we will see unreasonable chaotic lunacy unleashed. Congratulations to the irresponsible and incompetent morons who provided Americans with this disastrous election.

Thank you for summarizing these key changes! Many problems are actually the Canadian immigration system not learning from the mistakes of the US system and now it’s suffering the same consequences. If Canada cuts down on those selected immigrations but still takes in refugees, it’s only going to make anti-immigrant sentiment worse. Selected immigrants are allowed into Canada to help alleviate Canadian issues…or at least people who come through Express Entry are less likely to become a burden. On the other hand, refugees, given their unfortunate circumstances, really need to rely on a lot of social services and resources to help them resettle. The US has eliminated pretty much all non-humanitarian immigration that’s why immigrants are so demonized there. Americans only feel the drags of refugees and asylum seekers (even though ethically we need to protect them) and there is no selected immigration to balance that out. Yet this round of Canadian policy change is heading exactly that direction.\n\nIt used to be international students in Canada are not paying a lot more tuition than Canadian students. But Canadian universities saw how much money universities in the US are making so they asked the federal government to change the policy to enable them to charge international students several times the regular tuition (whereas in countries like France, international students actually pay less than citizens). So now Canadian universities rely too much on international students to operate and it becomes an exploitative relationship even before students step foot on the campus. The new PGWP eligibility is awful because students can make contributions in every field. It might (and that's a big if) address the pressing problems, but it won't help Canada grow.\n\nI thought the new language requirement was interesting. Some Canadians who immigrated decades ago when the bar was really low still speak English poorly and now they are saying people can’t come to Canada because their language skills are not sufficient. Another point about language is if you apply through Express Entry now, even if you scored the highest language score, given how competitive the pool is, you still won’t get selected. So it’s a given that you need to be fluent in one of the languages at least to get an invitation. Express Entry also selects only the top people, I saw the head of The Institute for Canadian Citizenship in interviews talking about those top-tier people only expect the best treatment/lifestyle when they come to Canada. That's why many of them leave after seeing these Canadian problems play out. But I believe a good Canadian life is not about living in a high rise in Vancouver and Toronto, driving an expensive car, or buying luxury items...it's about the communities, nature and middle-class comfort. So the system is giving PRs to the wrong kind of people (just like mismatched people when hiring that don't align with company values).\n\nThis brings me to the last frustrating issue. There were so many people who attended “fake” universities and bought “fake” jobs to earn points to get an Express Entry invitation. And it's clear that the government wasn't proactively catching these abuses. They are taking up spots from those who try to earn the points fair and square. If I understand correctly, Canada doesn’t send these people away if they are found out (since some of them were scammed). So they still take up immigration quotas.\n\nI have wanted to move to Canada for a long time. I have visited Canada many times, hiking trails through the coastline and fjords, climbing mountains and glaciers. I lived in Montreal for two months to improve my French and I was told by my homestay family that I was the first student they had who didn’t complain about the cold (I wish the winter never ends so I can skate or xc ski in the parks year-round). I have probably seen more Canada than many Canadians and I love every bit of it. But the opportunity for me to even get a shot to move there is pretty much nonexistent now. If only there was a way for the system to allow people who really care about Canada to get a shot at being part of this beautiful country.\n\nThank you for making these videos.

Other problem is that a lot of people try to get a work in the service area, instead of help the growth of the primary and secondary sector, things that truly produce growth of a country. \n \nOther thing, the frame of the debate most not to be only in order of unskilled and skilled workers. ''Must to be in order of people who need for specific occupations in order of the demand work-force', EEUU have a lot of skilled workers and they don’t have a job. Sell a fake promise to the skilled workers of other part of the world is not correct.\n\nA lot of skilled worked come to Canada each year, and everybody can see them working in a McDonald or washing dishes in restaurants.

Ngl... hard for me to feel bad after seeing all of the chaos they've been causing around the world. People are tired of the bs & more tired of being terrorized

You know what to say part American citelevision with all of this laugh wing? Democrat mainstream knew now they wantna talk about the problem. But it couple of years you're talking about all the people who walk over the border and took advantage of a 4 hour American cat money. So see it in and MSNBC. What took so damn long?To have this conversation

I guess uber and door dash will be much easier for me nowand I wont have to see so many people parked outside of restaurants ?

Send them back, sent the Indian back to India they are one of the most racist people there are, Trump said he tired of see those Kind of People in America and doesn’t want them here

They said Trump believe that China, Canada and Mexico will definitely pay for tariffs but it will be the American people that see the price hike on everything

I am an immigrant turned Canadian. I had to score points to come here, and I gave a job interview and cracked it on day 3 after arrival. Paying hefty taxes, integrating with culture, following the law of land just to see this country turning into a mess! Seeing govt favoring frauds, leeches and unproductive foreigners over hard working and honest people.

Where are Joe Biden and Kamala Harris? Why don’t they come to see all this? Biden and Kamala wide open the border to invite hundreds of millions of illegal immigrants to invade our country. Using our own tax payers money to fund the illegal immigrants. Why Kamala blames on elected President Trump for the border crisis????? This make me mad?????. These people should gather like that in their own country to put test with their corrupted government not in our southern borders. Biden, Harris, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer need to be arrested for treason.

CNN You don't see the Disaster at the U.S. Mexican border? Wake up Already ! Trump the Peoples President We don't want it Trump & Team will Fix the it

You have done nothing absolutely nothing you see folks there is no oil or gas in Palestine so the Arab league does not care 45.000 Palestinian people 18.000 children murdered by Israel and golf states simply don't care

She’s gonna be upset when she finds out Trump sees her the same way he sees all Mexican people.

I can see why her people want out.

She's not alone. I see they throw their own people under the bus. What can we expect.

I can't take CNN advertisement, I instantly click away, Asi sse it as an insult to my intelligence are you actually trying to make American people dumb, and stupid ?\nAnd you can't live in USA unless your sick and have a condition that require a pill from pill TV ? \nAre people really this dumb that they can't see what takes place. Something are very wrong when American people can't point out USA on a world map ? instead of tarifs maybe you should try education

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.

Trump isn’t very Intelligent and acts like a Mobster. He doesn’t have any Critical Thinking Skills as he runs like a Wild Bull on the Plaines. Believing he’ll get kick backs on one or all of these so called Tariffs. It’s no different than what he did his first administration with many donations (kickbacks) from World Leaders! All of which weren’t reported and only recently documented. What’s happening in this new coming Administration will look like the biggest HEIST IN AMERICAN HISTORY, with the replacement of every government employee with (YES) Employees. Trump’s in debt for 2 Billion after the Election; so he’ll have to get his money back through every course possible! Which will lead to every American being put in the Poor House during his time in Office. People will have to remember his comments demeaning every American as losers as he Raises Taxes and Product Inflation go through the roof, while the wealthiest live TaX Free again within his Second Administration! “Sometimes in Life, you can’t see the Forest for the Trees.” It’s harder to see the TRUTH, by the amount of the LIES!???

What has Mexico done to “control the migrants?” We have millions of people who crossed over into the USA. We are seeing it in our cities and feeling it in our pocketbooks! Just more lies. Someone has emboldened that Mexican President to think she can lie about how she has “helped stop or slow the migration into the US” when she knows dang well what she is doing (or not doing) and who she is doing it for. Your average Americans are not that gullible and we know exactly what is going on. And CNN needs to stop the lying too! Have you guys learned nothing?

Enjoy that economy right now once Trump takes over. It’s gonna be a major disaster. We will never see low prices ever again. today a head of lettuce is $1.29 when Trump takes over. It will be $4.99 to $ 5.49. There’s talked about avocados might cost us about five dollars apiece. get ready people to fork out more money.

I don't think anyone that voted for Trump knows basic math. I know you people on here think Mexico is going to pay the tariffs but the truth is the consumer payees for the tariffs and taxes of all goods coming from Mexico. They way I see it. The American people are just making Trump even more money. Yes please close the borders and see how ridicule's high your ever day goods will sky rocket. With the exception of guns the USA doesn't provide Mexico with any essential products. Again do your math people. On top of that. You can't bully Mexico anymore. Those times are over.

Hello CNN! Good evening We live in a democracy is these elections and the essence ok And sometimes you win sometimes los I have look elections you know no likes to lose,as Trump’Is literally what does that means,the elections our conservative,who I have nothing:.But you get on the phone:Saying today ;In common in the Foundation I am deeply concerned the friends out these .Welcome President we victory the winner,you don’t fay I can lose an election He’s going to win , So I would hope but people like understand of American Democracy,and we will see what happen if three fraud; that even with politically,May disagree with me,On every issue so yes ; So the charms Senate Liz Cheney,for example,that President Donald Trump does is not believe democracy!we love you 50 State America!as example Pennsylvania,Georgia , Savanna,Chicago , Michigan, New York City,Florida,May that all Policy of 50 State anywhere color’s black and white,FBI CIA etc!I thanked her and him!I don’t forgot 7 Million American we love you of all heart for me we love America .

Me I am pick out the party Democrats??????????????????In God we trust ?Thank you CNN have a good night ?

You idiots here can't see your nose in front of your face . \nThe tariffs are a NEGOTIATING tool, the Mexican government will all of a sudden keep people off the border and slow down illegal drugs in fear of their economy being handicapped.

“The US needs Mexico”, okay LMAO. You are taking the words of a corrupt government official controlled wholly by the cartel at face value. If we did not cooperate with Mexico, why would there be any concern as to why the southern border would weaken? The government has no control over these people illegally entering our country?! During the Biden administration, sure, you can say there was cooperation with our neighbor to the south. What did that do? Record illegal crossings. Trump opposers are idiots, and that’s what YOU are. ANYONE but Trump you say, well you are about to see what happens when someone puts their foot down and saying it’s US vs THEM. We have no friends and we have no enemies in the global economy. We do what’s best for America?! That is something we can most certainly agree on, no???

Hahaha you people are so mad, what happened the first time Trump put on Tariffs and the economy was booming. He cut payroll tax and corporate tax, bringing back manufacturing in America. Now the proposal is no tax on OT, SS, and tip. The economy and the people will be great!\n\nWake up and smell the success! Can't you see the incredible impact these policies are having? It's time to acknowledge the truth and embrace the results. Don't let your bias blind you to the undeniable positive outcomes. \n\nStop fighting progress and start recognizing the benefits of these changes. The facts speak for themselves – why are you still ignoring them? Open your eyes to the reality of the situation, and see the difference it's making for everyone.

They talk like trump has brains.\nWant to see trump thinking and the limit of thinking?\nSearch for trump inject disinfectant.\nLook at the faces of people around him.

Good for her and I hopes she does what she means so the people in this country who thinks we should stand alone will see the COST OF RHIS CRAZY DECISION!!

Most of the goods used in America are imported, all fruit and vegetables are picked and farmed by immigrants. Just wait for Trump and his tariffs and see if you will be able afford your food. Clothes will out of reach. You people wanted your king, now you have him. If you travel here in the USA, who's gonna clean your hotel room? Should be interesting.???????

I can’t understand why people in America can’t see that Trump is in the political game to meet his own needs and agenda!! In short he is the biggest and now the most untrustworthy criminal in the WORLD!!! He is going to destroy America and everything America stands for and he will do it with no considerations for the population!!! Why is one man, and a man with severe mental problems able to upend the total legal fraternity of a country and not be held accountable!!! The existing government can clearly see the dangers of this incoming administration but sit idly by and allow this corruption to manifest! Biden has the ability and powers of the presidency to stop Trump in his tracks, Why isn’t he? What is Biden afraid of? Trump is one man or is it the behind the scenes organisations that have installed trump and bought the presidency for him to serve their own agendas . With a total moron like Trump at the helm there are foreign adversaries that are going to complete the destruction of American institutions in a way that is going to severely damage Americas standing in the world!! The people that voted this evil man into office have no idea what hardships they are going to endure for the foreseeable future because a man like Trump doesn’t spend a minute of his day considering what’s best for someone else only his own interests!

When they start deporting people here. She is going to be one of them that gets deported. And I hope before they deport her. I sincerely hope that they can find her. So all of us can see you look on her crying face. And the only thing that I am going to say to her is. #WeTriedToTellYa!

These people dont learn. So sad. We can see your bias in these reports. Just tell the truth and stop spreading one sided opinions.

People can say alot of nice things we will have to see what there actions are.

This lady deserves every single thing that is coming to her. As a Mexican American woman I am appalled at her lack of empathy and compassion for her own people. These people make me sick because they refuse to see that he would deport them in a blink of an eye just by their color of their skin. SMH

As an Alaskan, I have a lot of relationships with my Canadian brethren to my south, both personal and business. While supply chain problems, housing crisis, poor wages, cost of living, and immigration, are all huge issues in Canada, but in my experience, by far, the absolute worst problem I have both witnessed and been a victim of, is the extreme level of crime. Especially organied crime. \n\nIn many rural areas the RCMP is literally run by organized crime, and it caused the justice system to resemble something you'd expect from a third world military dictatorship. I never hear western media discuss it, but the crime in Canada is probably some of the worst on the planet. I saw with my own eyes in New Brunswick for example, is completely controlled by organized crime. This has a very significant impact on the overall functionality of the system. \n\nIf you travel around the world, you will see just how aweful Canada is. I feel really bad for the people there.

America, Canada , Australia these are immigrant countries.In the 17 century it was the white settlers , in the 21st century it is indians . These countries are not mono cultures or for people who all look alike . If you want a white country go to Europe . If you want a South Asian country then go to South Asia. \nCanada would be what is exactly supposed to be just like other immigrant countries . If you fell threatened then go see psychiatrist or Cope !

Based Brit ????\nGlad to see people like him starting to speak up ??

wow, Indians scamming people.......never would have see that coming ........good radiance......hopefully the CBS keep track of the scammers and never allows them back in the country
