Thank you so much for this. In spite of being born in Ontario, I learned a lot about Canada! My entire family was born and grew up either in Toronto or in the then-small towns closeby. My father moved us to upstate NY in 1957 when I was 9 years old, me kicking and screaming all the way. I was devastated to be leaving Canada, and now at 77, I've decided this life-long yearning to return to my birthplace has to become reality. I've started the process, hoping I may gain some points because I'm a former citizen :) . I still have lots of family in several provinces; people I haven't seen since we were children, and some of us are great-grandparents now. I feel strongly that I need to leave this world in the place where I began :) Thanks again for the great video!

We need to annex Canada at this point. Trudeau needs to stand trial for his crimes.

God watches though \nNo point praying and going church on sunday ?

Straight to the point!

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.

JVL of the Bulwark pointed out that tariffs are the fastest way for a dictator to take over a nation's entire business community. Trump gets every CEO on bended knee, starting with Bezos. And in addition, tariffs are a huge personal revenue source for Trump, and don't imagine that he won't find a way to lay hold of that stream. Michael Cohen has pointed out how MBS modeled for Trump how to turn a national wealth fund into a personal income account, and tariffs check all the boxes for massive grift.\nFinally, tariffs rationalize the catastrophic tax cuts Trump is financing for himself and his friends, so they look good on paper. They ruin nationa and trade relationships, but hey. It's a win win win for Donald Trump, who won the election.

US trade with China is now only 16% of Chinese exports. Trump no longer has the leverage he had in his first term, and China has learned not to trust any agreements wth the USA because the US always breaks them, particularly Trump. From this point forward, every agreement will be transactional. If Trump goes over the top with tariffs on China, Mexico and Canada it will trigger an inflationary spiral that harms US consumers and an economy already in debt. Voter remorse will be swift.

Tariffs DO work and anyone that thinks they don't is too stupid to have an opinion. The good thing about tariffs is that tariffs are not war. America has come to the point where we must flex our muscles. Tariffs WILL work because countries won't like the alternative. To be against tariffs is the act of a traitor.

It is will get to the point where no one will want to do business with the usa. People will source outside the usa and only allow exports into the usa. Women dont play games. Men think they're strong. When you come up agaisnt a strong woman who has had enough its the worst wrath you could ever imagine. Theyre very very calculated and intentional. Strong female leaders tend to sort their countries out and put it on a straight line, based on the historical female leaders on this planet

Point blank.

His hats was it made in USA\nHis Shoes was it made in USA. \nHis watches was it made in USA.\nI vould on on on but you get my point

Kudos to the Mexican President for pointing out the problem of illegal drug CONSUMPTION in the US. It's the demand from the US which is driving the flow of drugs.

Honestly, this kind of human being is Absolute garbage. People who forget their origins and history and lose their humility and compassion are trash, point blank. I hope one day someone opens their hearts and minds. Until then, I stand by my choice of words. What she needs is real community, not an artificial surface level,meat-riding clique of disturbed individuals that need mental health support and scapegoat others for personal gains. I do hope they are able to heal that hurt from their inside, instead of promoting their insecurities and projecting from their phobias.

I have huge respects for Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo the President of the United States of Mexico ?????? she has valid points. I hope both countries can work together EQUALLY (key word) for the best of both countries. As an American (love Mexico ??) I will acknowledge and call out the US for being BULLIES (don’t get me started with how exactly this country was founded ?….the US Government has a lot of innocent blood ? on their hands)….again it’s about RESPECT which I hope Trump will do(but let’s be real ….i doubt)

We went there in 2023 March as temporary residents, came back last month, i.e. October 2024. Me and my husband both had jobs there, not white collar jobs though. Every point mentioned in the video is so true and valid. We saw/faced/experienced all of these and decided to come back. Anyone have any questions regarding moving to Canada, especially Vancouver can reach out here and I would try my best to answer/help. Good job Abhi & Niyu ?

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

Are you reporters on CRACK??? Get off of your talking points and look at what is already happening. Get behind President Trump and support our nation.

I live on the Canadian border, and they are about two points passed pissed.

Trump, i think he will be taken out by one of his own.\nBrutus and ceaser. History.. he will die at some point frpm OLD AGE. Needs a blue pill

There's a reason why the government removed economic classes from schools, which are only available to people who seek higher education. This is an example, and I am not surprised that most voters who voted for Trump are halfway to the Grim Reaper at this point.

Tariffs are important it saves jobs in America by not allowing countries to dump extra cheap products in the country to run business in America out of business like what just happened in Chicago with a tire plant cheap tires coming from China forced a sumitomo tire plant in Chicago to close and lay off American workers. Stop listening to these people on the media who gets their talking points from the same Globalist that is destroying America ?

Scott Bessent: \n\n“Another differentiated view that we have is that Trump will pursue a weak dollar policy rather than implementing tariffs. Tariffs are inflationary and would strengthen the dollar--hardly a good starting point for a US industrial renaissance. Weakening the dollar early in his second administration would make U.S manufacturing competitive. A weak dollar and plentiful, cheap energy could power a boom. The current Wall Street consensus is for a strong dollar based on the tariffs. We strongly disagree. A strong dollar should emerge by the end of his term if the US reshoring effort is successful.”

CLOWN tRUMP is going to lose his mind that a woman stood up to him and spoke intelligently with facts! It's the United States consumers that will pay these terriffs and tRUMP keeps waving them as though it was a cannon pointed at the opposing nation where in reality it's actually pointed directly at his constituency or citizens of the nation he is about to be the president of!\nLet the clown show begin!

WAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! Orange man bad! flow liberal tears flow. Why in the hell are you so afraid?? Are we at the point everything we buy comes from a foreign land??? Just ask Yourselves . how many millions are we spending to keep other countries up?

the Mexican President is Not in control of her country........... The transfer country of these Illegal Immigration and Drugs and all that mess...... Mexico is hosting the transport threw there borders for that Mexico is Responsible to curb the flow at its points if entry with in it own borders.... SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... Time to stop playing nice... With Mexico ....... Mexico is the number one security threat ....... Closest to the U.S.A. Wake up.....

For people who sit on TV to speak to people , a little education will do u some good . Any cursory Youtube search of all Trumo videos since the 1980s stick to the same points - USA are getting ripped off, unfair trade etc...He has been the most consistent President on his economic policies . You guys are just lazy ...

See this is the kind of thing that is shortsighted. I mean, anybody that knows anything about global economics and macroeconomics knows that this is a ridiculous disaster and impedes business on many levels and on top of that It’s insulting to the world as a whole. And God created this world in such a way that every country has value that they can share in the economy and that’s a major point that cannot be overlooked regardless to bullying.

You guys will listen to anyone , but while complaining about the border; you all know to well what cause the migrations. Stop sugarcoating go straight to the point. \nNo one wants to leave their homes land taking a long distance for another country. \nYou all know what force them outdoor. \nLet me give you an example. When California's while fires start. Animals like humans beings do they stay put or run for their lives?\nThe United states is a great country. No doubt about that. Even the so called enemy of the states knows that. But the foreign policy is not that is what force people to flee their home countries. Look what happened in Haiti for example just one small island. What do you expect those people to do ? If and when you only make a real meaningful change ; people will stop. As Americans we know better and we can and should do better ❤ I all

1500 crossing per entry point. There are at least around 100 entry points in the southern border.

How is tariffs from Mexico going to affect us in anyway? The point of tariffs is to stop businesses from moving to Mexico and shipping their products into the U.S. We wont be paying them anything because we dont ship anything there

We understand that the company that outsources labor and buys foreign goods pay the tariffs completely. The idea is to put those businesses out of business for ones that manufacture/purchase in the US. If you out source for personal gain while hurting our economy you shouldn’t be in business. That is the point.

this is becoming suicidal! ...Americans will pay the price of their idiotic vote! installing recipe for misery on your own allies and people..oh wait the people wanted it! at this point, putin would nuke America and some of us would clap!, its how far empathy is for Americans as we will all pay and only trump and his ogliarchs will cash in... frustrations are running high, we got screwed by the gullible

We have heard big talk from mexican leaders before only to see them bow down . I dont think much of what she says america pretty much owns mexico at this point . Canada too .

No point talking about Trump’s tariff threat now! Damage is done! Stupid American people have voted, now deal with it!

Mexico has no leverage, they are over run with cartels, and they will need us to help them rid themselves of the cartels, maybe not right now, but at some point they will need our assistance, so Mexico is really not in a position to play hardball.

Pointed to the skyscraper with no windows and lied about it for them without even thinking about it incredible ✍️

That same Canadian guy will one day go to India and get treated like a God......we need to stop treating foreigners like idols, this is the reality most face at some point here....

You forgot a few HUGE points: raise salaries, build more affordable housing!!!

So sad. This woman is suffering from a type of Stockholm Syndrome. She's under the illusion that those white Christian nationalists think of her as a real American. There seems to be so many people who immigrated legally and illegally to the United States who have accepted the denigration and internalized it to a point of self-loathing. They have split from the reality of their roots and feel superior to other immigrants and entitled. So sad that chronic xenophobia has destroyed their empathy. They're in for a very rude awakening when they find out that a large percentage of white America hates them as much as they hate current immigrants.

Sneaky journalist sees the world from a cleansing point of view.

As a 35 year old Canadian born citizen, at this point I would love to become a legal American citizen in any republican run state. Our economy is destroyed thanks to the Liberals and it will never be the same again regardless of who wins the election in 2025. Our prime minister is a chameleon that talks in circles about climate change while at the same time flying back and forth to switzerland to visit Mr. Klaus Schwab, who is founder of the world economic forum. Wake up Canadians for the sake of future generations.

Trump's racism is big enough to collapse the country to make a point, good luck everybody

Instead of pointing fingers at the Government of Canada I ask you do an introspection and you will find your own people have defrauded their own brothers and sisters. A corrupt and rotten systems from top to bottom.

I’m glad… I’m from India… ok now there’s already so many scammers living inside Canada with PR and citizenship what about them…. My neighbour went to Canada in PR registering fake company… n getting fake experience certificates… there r so many Indian ppl who r loyal n trustworthy but u close doors for them… through company ppl come there with no efforts they claim 50 points n get score over 500… what about the students who really worked hard n been loyal n honest…. Ur immigration doesn’t make sense at all….

Two massive, now irreversible problems. \n\nForeign (Chinese) real estate acquisitions/treating homes in Canada strictly as investments. Case in point, thousands upon thousands of empty condos in greater Vancouver. Which equates to a shortage of housing for people that have lived here and paid taxes their entire life, as a Canadian. Foreign real estate speculation and land purchasing has not only been allowed, AND encouraged, new properties/condos are being marketed in China well before they are IN Vancouver! Now, it's too late to plug the leak. Thus, rampant homelessness. \n\nCompletely irresponsible immigration policy. Nobody in their right mind would deny that a multicultural country like Canada needs immigrants. Especially with the aging population. But as far as accommodating/housing these people, we're not even close to being on target. We are not only putting the horse ahead of the cart, the horse hasn't even been born yet!\n\nNeither situation will be fixed anytime soon.

I’m ten minutes in and you haven’t said why or where you are going. You sound developmentally challenged to be honest. What is your point?

You need to look back to before Bill Clinton when immigration was not a issue really because people came and went freely from Mexico...only after the GOP took control of Congress, then Clinton was basically forced to pass the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996. At this point is when we started to have problems which have only escalated over the decades.

To his point yes the Indians took advantage and most of them cannot even speak english properly. But no one is talking about the an average of 2 million Ukrainians that were brought in and given permanent resident status in the shortest possible time. Talk about jumping the cue. They were also given $3000.00 eash and $700.00 for each child.

To her point, should her citizenship revoked? Because she’s been harboring them for years, as she said! Just asking for a friend.
