Trudeau said to immigrants come to Canada, we have loads of room here, he forgot to say Canada is in recession, they have a massive housing shortage and inflation is rampant plus it's minus 40 so you will freeze to death in the soup queues, that's what happens when people as dumb as Trudeau get elected and virtue signal to make themselves look good and feel good about themselves, speaking while the brain is not connected to the mouth, Trudeau is the worst PM Canada has ever had, period, Biden the worst USA ever had, UKs the worst, the western world needs a complete C changes, a full 360 in its political thinking and reaction or it's going to be overtaken by the third world, you can see this happening in many American cities,

The goal here is to turn neighbours against each other. There were no issues but now there are terrible deeds being done .\nIt's easy to do this when there's a recession.

Its corporate greed which has trickled down into all areas of life. Rents, property values etc etc. No government can fix it in a democracy because capitalism gives greed the platform. Record profits during covid says it all. Recessions give a partial temporary reboot and depressions are devastating and take a long time to recoup from. I live in a rural small town, retired, own my house and debt free . Low property tax and affordable housing and rents but in the Maritimes. Cities are the worst to survive in. I feel for all that are struggling but Canada is a great country and better than most but one must be willing to relocate to areas that they can afford to live in and still have steady work.

Border closure next, Canada recession in less than 5 days.... but it is Tuesday, plenty of time to announce an agreement...

Canada will give concessions at some point. Like regular war, in a trade war everyone is hurt. But Canada will go into a recession unless it appeases America. And America can do this because Canada has the better deal currently.

Just a clue source from a close friend of mine from a resident of Canada ( Toronto ).\nTold me a lot of frustration, the residents of Toronto are considering being part of the US.\nOtherwise our country will be in recession and cripled.

This is just an another tactic to draw world into recession!! Due to such Geopolitics common man is only one ends up suffering!! ?\n\nProduce canadian, buy canadian. Diversify trading partners from Eu to Asia. ??????.\nInstead of competing with each other, provinces should work hand in hand.

I see a recession in America

Trump is gifting the world a RECESSION.

Canadian dollar just dropped to the lowest for over a decade. Canada will go into recession for sure.

Ironically, Trump's tarrifs could be good for the environment as they will cause recessions in b many countries, reduce Worldwide consumption, production and carbon emissions ?

Trump will now retaliate with 50% tariff on oil. This willl push Canada in recession.

Germany has officially been in recession the last two years, and it forecasts GDP growth of 0.3% in 2025 -- good luck with that with Trump sanctions on German Autos -- we forecast that Germany will collapse into a deep recession in 2025 not seen since the 1980's.

Get ready for a recession, labor cost is too high, now materials cost is going up. Mass layoffs are coming.

Just think of all the economic interconnections that are at risk of being broken. Years of supply chain organization and logistics in jeopardy. The federal leadership is getting increasingly erratic. The automotive industry alone is so integrated. Biden and Trump have both been awful. What is the endgame? Recession. Buy sovereign bonds. Stop buying stuff.

Trump promised retaliatory tariffs in response to Canada's tariffs. So what will the new tariffs be: 50%? USA will be hurt by Canadian tariffs, but given its smaller economy, in four years, Canada will be economically destroyed by US tariffs. Canadian dollar, which is 1.45 to the US dollar, may soon rise to 1.8-2.0, and Canada's leading bankers have said that Canada is looking at high interest rate and recession.

Yup hears a new flash last month 4000 millionaires left Canada for good they are closing biz place up for sale jobless grown when millionaires leave not only do they take there money they also take jobs lawyers doctors accounts were being chocked to death in taxes by irresponsible government in order to pad the number during november and Dec Gover says we created 65 ooo job when the private sector only add approximately 25 000 jobs the rest were government jobs during a recession the Gover should not be hiring more than the private sector bankruptcy are at all time hi and government wants ,6 percent more in property taxes biz are golfing at a huge rate no wonder why people are leaving you can't make any money period your being squeezed so hard that a two hundred dollar cheque from Ford does not even pay for a tank off gas carbon tax of 61 cents a litre is really out there news flash there is no shortage of gas or oil a barrel of oil is 71 dollars so why are we paying almost 8 dollars a gallon but the Gover sells a barrel to the USA for 35 bucks half the world price this is why many are leaving period over bloated government

PREDICTION: The rise of international tariffs will ultimately uncover a huge underbelly of unemployment ironically in the USA and create a wave of an unexpected underbelly of poverty unseen by America in many years. USA will suffer in the next 4 years due to tariff wars and causing its international allies work in new relationships with its unexpected competitors such as China. The EU will learn how to live without relying on the USA - as is the same with China and other countries. America will have to self-rely on itself - causing it to recycle its own money over and over again to try and create home-grown industries that will initially be very expensive to run. \n\nCompetitive countries will strike deals with American allies and form new relationships that the USA hadn't foreseen - and the era will illustrate an international 'Us' vs US mentality. Countries will turn their back on America, knowing they can work well together than rely on the USA. \n\nThe average US citizen will be receiving tax rise after tax rise, causing more poverty within states and due to the 'xenophobic tariff mentality' - will find the middle income earner slip down to a lower grade, and ripple this effect. Medical aid will only benefit the rich while everyone else will pay for minimum service but premium for medication. \n\nThe price of food and transport will quadruple over the next 4 years, not because of the natural progression of price rise, but immediately due to tariff wars. \n\nAmericans, ultimately pay for tariffs - bullying words of 50 percent tariffs on another country means a surge in prices for everyday goods Americans take for granted. The only winner is the Government - which means it chooses what to spend on. \n\nA recession will hit hard....AGAIN -- on the USA.

He already said Mexico and Canada are next…he’s gonna plunge us into a recession we haven’t seen since 2008 at this rate plus he gonna accelerate inflation.

Lol, what an idiot.....this man has no brain power.....he will cause a recession in America by mid year.....a lot of prices will go higher!!!! People will be fired... people will protest, which will disrupt a normal work schedule!!!! This summer is going to be very problematic!!!

US about to go into a recession.

Close down Colombia. \nIt's a failed communist state. \nBuy bananas elsewhere. \nShocking how that clown can manipulate the numbers, all Biden's numbers were from the border, they got in, in the first place. \nVenusala is now taking their poor back. \nDrive Colombia into recession.

Reminds me of the bully at recess in grade school.

Another Trump induced recession is on the way

This guy might actually cause a recession within a year, incredible work ???

folks, get ready for that recession

The recession is starting

What a mess this country is going directly into an economic recession.

The economy is going to go through a recession simply due to the lack of immigrant workers. You don’t see any lazy Americans doing these jobs. And once that happens and unfolds, Trump will reverse his stance. If he doesn’t, and he stands on his stubbornness, combined with all his otherpolicies that will hurt the country, he’ll likely face the same exit as Mussolini did in Italy.

Mexico’s Economic Apocalypse: My Personal Analysis\n\nThe imposition of a 25% tariff on all Mexican imports by the United States would be nothing short of an economic death sentence for Mexico. As someone deeply concerned about the integrity of U.S. borders, sovereignty, and the well-being of American citizens, I believe this tariff is both justified and necessary. Mexico has repeatedly ignored its responsibilities as a neighbor, and it is time for accountability. Let’s examine the devastating impact this tariff would have on Mexico in brutal, undeniable detail.\n\n\n---\n\nEconomic Collapse: A Nation on Its Knees\n\nMexico’s economy relies heavily on exports, with over 80% of its exports destined for the United States. A 25% tariff would obliterate Mexico’s competitive edge, pricing its goods out of the U.S. market. The result? A $100 billion annual loss in trade revenue—a wound so deep it would cripple the nation’s economy beyond repair.\n\nGDP Freefall: With exports constituting 28% of Mexico’s GDP, the tariff would slash growth rates and plunge Mexico into a severe recession. Entire industries would collapse under the weight of unsold goods and lost revenue streams.\n\nMassive Manufacturing Shutdowns: Mexico’s lifeblood industries—automotive, electronics, and steel—would face annihilation. Plants dependent on U.S. buyers would grind to a halt, leaving millions unemployed.\n\n\n\n---\n\nSocial and Humanitarian Crisis: A Nation in Chaos\n\nThe economic fallout wouldn’t just affect industries—it would decimate millions of lives:\n\nUnemployment Epidemic: With factories shuttered and exports decimated, unemployment would skyrocket, leaving millions of families destitute. Entire regions reliant on U.S. trade would become economic wastelands.\n\nHuman Desperation: Widespread poverty would fuel desperation, leading to a surge in crime, social unrest, and violence. Mexico’s already fragile social fabric would unravel, plunging the nation into chaos.\n\nMass Emigration: Unable to survive in their homeland, millions of Mexicans would flee to the United States, creating an unprecedented border crisis—ironically the very issue the tariff seeks to address.\n\n\n\n---\n\nFinancial Ruin: Mexico’s Peso in Freefall\n\nThe peso would face catastrophic devaluation, losing value faster than at any point in modern history. This would create:\n\nHyperinflation: Everyday goods would become unaffordable for the average citizen. The price of imported essentials—like medicine and machinery—would skyrocket.\n\nInvestor Exodus: Foreign investors, seeing no future for Mexico’s economy, would abandon the country. Capital flight would cause Mexico’s stock market to crash, sending shockwaves through the financial system.\n\n\n\n---\n\nThe Root Cause: Mexico’s Negligence\n\nMexico has brought this apocalypse upon itself through years of neglect and willful inaction:\n\nIllegal Immigration: Mexico has consistently allowed massive waves of illegal immigrants to flow across its northern border, destabilizing U.S. communities and eroding American sovereignty.\n\nDrug Trafficking: The unchecked trafficking of fentanyl and other deadly drugs through Mexican cartels has killed tens of thousands of Americans annually. Mexico has done little to combat this epidemic, allowing cartels to thrive.\n\nBroken Promises: Despite agreements and warnings, Mexico has failed to step up as a responsible partner. Words without action are meaningless, and the time for talk is over.\n\n\n\n---\n\nWhy Trump’s 25% Tariff is Justified\n\nPresident Trump’s 25% tariff isn’t just an economic tool—it’s a weapon of justice aimed at holding Mexico accountable for its negligence. Here’s why this move is essential:\n\n1. Securing U.S. Borders: Mexico’s failure to stop illegal immigration has forced the United States to act decisively. This tariff will compel Mexico to finally enforce its borders and prevent illegal crossings.\n\n\n2. Protecting American Lives: The flow of drugs like fentanyl must stop. By crippling Mexico’s economy, the tariff weakens the cartels that profit from this deadly trade.\n\n\n3. Economic Leverage: The U.S. is Mexico’s largest trading partner. Without access to the American market, Mexico’s economy collapses. This leverage ensures Mexico has no choice but to comply with U.S. demands.\n\n\n\n\n---\n\nA Brutal but Necessary Move\n\nYes, this tariff would cause unimaginable suffering in Mexico, but that suffering is a direct result of its government’s failures. President Trump is not to blame—Mexico is. By ignoring its responsibilities, Mexico has forced America to take a stand. The economic apocalypse that follows is the price Mexico must pay for its negligence.\n\nThis is not just about punishing Mexico—it’s about protecting the United States. It’s about securing our borders, saving American lives, and ensuring that the U.S. economy is not undermined by a neighbor that refuses to act responsibly. In the end, the 25% tariff is a painful but unavoidable reckoning for a nation that has long shirked its duties. The survival of Mexico’s economy depends entirely on its willingness to change course—and fast.

In Canada, Justin invited the Indians because Indians usually calm down, obey the rules and regulations, and follow laws. But it happened completely opposite. This is where the problem started. Besides this, Canadians have difficulty getting jobs and food. The population is very high now, and fewer jobs. It is a recession.

Others country situation is not the same most country is suffering from recession and not want more people to get it there economic style is different most are import base economies.

Canadians going crazy for an easy level recession. The rest of America is much worse.

Trump is such a dumbass. He thinks the tariffs will be paid by exporting countries like Mexico, China, and Canada. The Trump tariffs will be paid by American manufacturers and American consumers. Everything is about to become a lot more expensive in the US, especially with a 25% tariff on the 4.5 million barrels of oil Canada ships to the US every day. At best, inflation becomes a bigger problem, and Americans lose their jobs. At worst, Trump's tariffs cause a made in America recession.

i think deporting them is gonna be too costly and cause a lot of tension with the us and other countries, not to mention cruel for the people who managed to build a life for themselves only to have it taken away, and also might cause a recession because of the millions of jobs they used to hold being vacant suddenly.\ni think it would be a much better cheaper diplomatic and realistic move for the use to use its massive and already existing and funded military to lock down the border at essentially no added cost, and strictly deport any one who slips through after that lock down, the immigrants who are already inside aren't gonna be a problem so long as they're the last ones who ever get through. thats what i want my country the uk to do, a lockdown so no more hopefuls can get in, because as much as all the immigrants in my country don't deserve to be here, i recognise how much pain it would cause them to be deported after so long in this country. and since they're already here i say no harm in letting them stay as long as no more come.

This is a problem with Indian media... Indians blah blah blah... PR is not stopped only modified and the fact that MOST Indians who are new comers are way below average threshold is hurting their chances. I don't see a Masters or PhD holder from a good Canadian university rolling on streets. They are respectfully employed. Yes there is recession and oversupply of immigrants and that's the balance that needs to be corrected. I belong to Indian heritage as well and I openly say WE INDIANS HAVE A BIG PROBLEM. WE ASSUME WE ARE ENTITLED TO EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD whether we deserve it or not.... Someone ask this lady to name a modern day invention that has an Indian name on it... yes Indians are a part of that invention team but not own it. ChatGPT is a recent example.

Are you kidding me. Are you not in Canada right now. Canada is now the most poor country in the World. Immigration has gone to the roof. No housing. Rents and forget about buying a house in BC, AB, Quebec, Ontario. High unemployment, Inflation is high and going up more. We also do not have a military defense system and the U.S. is tired of Canada not spending money to meet their responsibility as a Nato country. Many Canadians are leaving the country permanent. Investors and businesses are pulling out. Canada is trillions in debt but keep printing more money (toilet paper). Canada has gone downhill significantly over the past ten years. Born Canadians and legit immigrants having to go through a rigorous immigration process are very unhappy and cause conflict. Besides all the different ethnicities cause unrest and are ungrateful, daring the burn the Canadian flag, uttering death to Canada, death the US and Israel. These trouble makers have not intentions to assimilate into Canada's culture and are disrespectful to the Canadian government and it's citizens. Our youth are very unhappy and do not see a future for themselves yet have to work very hard and pay unbelievable high taxes. The minimum wages are only 15 bucks an hour which cannot sustain life here in this country. Please stop making false promises to foreigners to come here and be disappointed. This is not a country of milk and honey any longer but poor and enormous homelessness. Hunger, terrible health care, incredible post secondary tuitions and books. Now that president Trump has won the election he is going to place tariffs on Canadian goods and rightfully so. Russia is very interested in the Antarctica and should they or anyone invade Canada we got 3 days of ammunition. The food in AB is very bad for your health. Everything has pesticides, hormones, and by the time fruit and vegies arrive here from the US all the nutrition have gone. A extremely high cancer rate, young and old, diabetes, depression and other mental disorders are rampant. Our children and grandchildren do not have a future so why bother going to school or work. Our kids live on the streets, shelters, camping in the woods and using fentanyl and meth all kinds of dangerous drugs. The cities and small towns are full of used needles, pipes, and more paraphelia just thrown on the trails everywhere. The US will not assist Canada when a possible War 3 will occur, and we the people of Canada and the land are easy prey. If you do not believe me, just come visit RED Deer shelters and walk around on the trails, go to Vancouver but becareful because random assaults are happening every day, people living in tents, using the streets as toilets, drugs galore, even the police is unable to act nor arrest criminal activities caused by desperate people who need to survive. Canada's economy is about to collapse and fall into a recession. We have too many people coming in our country without checking their back ground and many criminals and terrorist groups are entering declaring refugee status whether it is true or not, we do not know. The people of Canada who work and pay highest taxes are used to house these newcomers and education, jobs, food and money. Our government take better care of these illegal people than their own people especially our youth. So please let us not pretend Canada is a land of opportunity and great. We have to vote for the right leader who will have a very difficult time and challenges to overcome if at all possible and make Canada Great Again!

Worst recession in 20 yrs

Canada is in recession and Please send them back ASAP to India. Canada has already become India 2.0. Oh Boy...Student's please go back to India because the young Canadins needs jobs too. Hope they speed up the process and Mr. Trump has already in the process of putting 25 % tariff unless we get our border secured. Game over folks, Please return.

about time Canada is unstable and the economy is in a recession.

In trying to solve one problem (avoiding a recession), another problem was created (too many too quickly). I pray the government makes decisions not only to make those who complain happy but also what’s best for the good of Canada and Canadians. Time will tell.

Americans don't want to pay higher prices for anything. And corporations don't want to pay $15 when they can pay $2 to a worker overseas. Manufacturing is not coming back the the US no matter the tariffs Trump imposes. America has to concentrate on the manufacturing that we lead which is High Technologies, Fuel, and Agriculture. Trump wants to destroy the Department of Education when what we should be doing is making education a priority, even in higher education. Making it easier and less expensive for Americans to get higher education. Trump's policies are going to completely destroy the world economy and in doing so cause a massive recession in the US.

tight your wallets ,HUMONGOUS RECESSION IS COMING IN 2025, REAL ESTATE WILL UP 25% TRUMP RAISED THE REAL ESTATE ,AND ALL THE MARKETS ARE RAISING RENT IN 2025, PEOPLE WILL TAKE MONEY FROM BANKS, SOME BANKS WILL CLOSE UNDER TRUMP ADMINISTRATION

This is exactly what China wants. The next thing you know China will be building a port, Baja California a.k.a. resting stop for Chinese navy\nThis tear of shit is going to drive up prices dramatically, and cause a major recession almost immediately

Other country did not follow same things. They never welcomed ajy immigiramt to fight against recession. This is just blaming to country.
