I'm so shocked, I don't know how to express my feelings. Have you ever imagined the one person would destroy all his working relationships during ONE MONTH! That is so despicable, I cannot wrap my mind around it. Please, can anyone explain what's unfolding before our eyes???

Geez CNN, you did not let your American audience hear some of the most important things said! Americans, if you want to know everything, go to CBC and listen to the whole broadcast! AND GEEZ, American journalists STOP repeating the lies... you know from the facts on your own border website that THIS IS NOT ABOUT FENTANYL OR ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION! It's shocking to me how you all keep repeating Trump's false claims when you know they are FALSE!

I live in Vancouver and it has the largest open air drug market in North America. I can't recall Trudeau ever speaking about the Fentanyl pandemic so frequently. I worked with NPO's when they declared a public health emergency...hundreds were dying a month, and it seemed at the time that there was so little dialogue due to fear of public backlash for taking a stance on this issue.\n\nI'm not trying to get on a soap box here...but I'm just shocked. I could have given Trudeau a 5 minute drive through main and hastings in my 1998 RAV4 to show him how bad it is, and was...I wonder if he would have opened up this much?

As an American, I can tell you that we all don't agree with our new President! We love our country and our allies! Donald is tearing things up down here. People were so afraid of electing a woman President, that Donald Trump got elected after it was already proven that he is a womanizer and a criminal. Don't hate on the American people. We are all kind of in shock about all that he's doing down here! ??

I normally don't agree in Mr Trudeau, but he nailed it. You Canadians should be proud - As mr Trump should be a shamed. USA is from now an ally to Mr Putin and his world of scumbags. This happens in front of the American people. And the rest of the world watch in shock how fast USA is going down. It is the biggest tragedy in the history of US.

As a European American, I can truly say that I am embarrassed, shocked and disgusted by the actions of the Trump administration against our allies and partners across the world. 99.9% of American loves Canada and I am one of them!!! Stay strong because we have always overcome evil together!!!

I am shocked and dismayed at the calm in this female reporters voice, as if, just another day at the WH. PLEASE TELL IT LIKE IT IS. We have a criminal psychopath in the WH who is ruining our GOOD relationships....BECAUSE HE CAN. He's NUTZ. IMPEACH HIS SORRY ASS NOW! How many crimes does he have to commit before someone does something. Why are sitting and watching the destruction of our country? Find a good protest...I'm sure they need us all. I know I do. I need the family of man to stand up to this crazy monster in the WH....throw his ass out. Pick him up and removing him. If we only had the 'cojones'.

Wait our prime minister not making a fool of himself im shocked

The trump(et) has taken USA hostage. Even some republicans are shocked.\n\nTrudeau: We in Europe are with you. And with Mexico.\n\nAnd to the american people: The sooner you can dispose of this narcisistic madman - The better. Not just for you but for all of us.

Ridiculously proud Canadian here. As much as it genuinely upsets me that things had to come to this, it came as no shock. tRump has always been jealous of Canada - our oil, natural gas, timber, minerals, etc.. tRump is ridiculously jealous of our younger, fAAAr better looking country AND Prime Minister. \nSeriously though, Canadians ARE a proud bunch. We just don't feel the need to flaunt it. But this..... THIS one thing has sparked something SOOO fierce, SOOO visceral in my fellow Canucks that now that pride does not only burn in our hearts, but in our bellies..... on a guttural level.

Who would have thought AMERICA being the first to surrender. I'm in complete shock how they have stabbed Ukraine in the back and let its allies down. Democracy is dead in USA.

Boycotts of American companies and products are going viral in Europe. I was shocked to see how much is actually American made from seeing the many lists that people provide. Was in the supermarket today for major weekly purchase, not a single item US made bought. Greetz from Sweden and may God protect God fearing Americans for what's coming.

Trump is just doing what Putin wants him to. The plan is to ally with the bad guys. Our govt will be broken and empty, except the military, and Putin will come in and take over and use our military to takeover other countries. I know that sounds like a bad movie but nothing shocks me anymore and I can’t think of any other reason for America to be pissing off our allies - the good guys. I was in Canada over the weekend and I really didn’t want to come back. ?

Just in Thru door will be singing a different tune tomorrow when he gets anothet shock.

Great speech . Canada not bowing down to a dictator elect . Shocking to try and collapse a neighbour , friend and ally’s economy . ?? European ?? countries are on your side .

It must be a bit of a shock for the American people to hear a political leader who speaks in sentences and who's words make sense!

That 40% number for the housing markets' total share of GDP is shockingly misleading. This channel should do better than that, at least by unpacking that figure. Direct Real Estate Contribution is only about 13% of GDP, with construction adding another 7%, making the total direct contribution approximately 20% of GDP. Only if you factor in wider construction and housing related activities it accounts to that 40% figure.

Brutal. Going gets tough. You bounce. Typical of your generation. Shocking you don't have an answer as to where is better? Forget staying to make it better. Just bounce after everything its given you.

This video and these comments are so shocking and depressing. 10 years ago, people still widely praised and raved about Canada and it was a leading country in healthcare and standard of living. Now people are saying the complete opposite and saying it's in a terrible state. I know countries have their downfall at some point, but Canada, of all places, having a really horrendous \n economical crisis is so hard to grasp.

Canada immigration announces shocking news about the Canada caregiver program 2025. Details: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/caregivers/home-care-worker-immigration-pilots.html

The coyotes are still operating to get people across...they are just going through California, a sanctuary State!!! ??? i just saw a report of sales people in a coyote office working a little harder to get their customers. It is expensive to pay a coyote. So it is a very lucrative business!! Lots of folk from Europe are in the coyote business. It is shocking that ICE is helpless as these coyotes advertise in the open in a lot of countries!! \nCountries like Ecuador have visa on arrival for any country and so they all fly into those countries who get an income from visa fees. Chinese, Filipinos and indians are using that route. They have to get to the Southern border, it is like getting from NY to LA. So it is expensive. But the coyotes have not closed shop! They know they have California open!!

I'm an Australian traveller who went on a solo trip around the US in 2023. I couldn't afford a hotel room in New York so I opted for a Hostel. The hostel I stayed at had many Latinos and upon speaking to them, they were living there for free in exchange for cleaning, reception work, etc. It shocked me that businesses were happy about this exchange of paying wages to actual Americans

I’m shocked and I’m from the UK and it’s even really bad here

Wait didn’t ?? state no illegal crossed from their borders. How not shocking they lied. Get rid of sanctuary cities. Put half those funds on borders and the other with education.

Such a shocking answer, especially how they arrest anyone in their country if they flag or talk about Palestine ??. I'm soo confused ? ? ? ?

Coming from outside the country going to Canada I found there to be a shocking number of Indians.

It’s worse than America….I’ve been to several provinces in Canada, and it’s all the same! The racism/discrimination is bad! I was shocked!!

I've always been saying. The so called migration crisis has damaged countries more than wars. Cost of living has skyrocketed. Rents and demand are high (triggers inflation), salaries are low (cheap labor), cultural shocks.. The obsession in economic growth damaged nations irreversibly. My family was a middle-class Turkish, they bought a house, a nice car and i cant even afford to live in Istanbul. Average rent is 2/3 of my salary.. All because of migration. It turned into a hell culturally too. Everywhere is just the same. I dont even wanna imagine Europe in 15 years.. Our generation has no future. It hurts less when you accept the truth..

Curious if Malaysia would be eager to take Muslims from countries which are not “first world”. If you could throw some light on the visa privilege you enjoyed coming from Canada? Like I could visit Malaysia only for 2 weeks at a time. Oh one more thing, if drag queen is a concern you will be shocked in many parts of Asia too, and how pathetically they deal w third genders.

Wow criminals were in cuffs? No really? I’m shocked criminals being treated like criminals? I guess democrats aren’t in charge anymore so no more 5 star hotels, cell phones, debit cards, free food, clothes, criminals go home.

Lol, now they're learning they weren't white all along. \nI remember the shock in East Africa when Obama had our own mass deportation. He deported people into active aar zones, straight yo their deaths. \nIf we got past it, they'll get past it.

Trump should be stopped- he has no respect. Trump Elon and the Maga cult are the ones who should be shackled as Trump is a convicted felon and insurrectionist and with his cult is dismantling the Constitution of the US and destroying democracy… he is following Hitler… this is how fascism works - please read History of Germany through the 1930s. This is shocking and a shame. A felon and insurrectionist does not follow the rule of law and hence the madness of what is happening to so many people there. May God save America and democracy from autocratic oligarchy.

WHY is everyone SHOCKED that they are shackled? They came into the US illegally which means that they BROKE THE LAW, which in turn means, they are CRIMINALS! Imagine being the pilot of that plane? Would you feel safe flying that plane, knowing that behind you, there are angry, unshackled, illegal criminals ready to maybe storm the cockpit, in the hopes to turn back the plane to the US? lol.

It is natural and normal that people from a poor undeveloped country like India will try to migrate to a rich developed country like USA for betterment of life, not for committing crime there, legally or illegally.\nThis is the Shocking Truth of Human Society.\nGovernment of USA has full rights to punish those illegal immigrants but don't have right to treat them like animals, it is the exposure of the Hateful Feelings only.

Shocked by the comments...didn't think MAGAts would look at ANYTHING from CNN.

I'm genuinely shocked at the influx of mass immigration from India.

Its Shocking to see criminals restrained during a transport.

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 !

Criminals were kept in prison-like conditions. Color me shocked.

CNN where's the reports of the USAID DEMOCRATS EMBEZZLING OUR TAX DOLLARS what is the matter Soros won't allow you to the report the TRUTH hes been running our Democrats and you Journalists come on where are these shocking news interviews. Cowards stand up and fight for America fuck Soros say the truth

I’m shocked to see another race besides Mexicans. Soooo this means ICE is going after the Australians, Europeans, Canadians, that’s in our country illegally. You have to get them all. If you are going to target melanated people you need to concentrate on the illegal immigrants that are Caucasian as well. Fair is fair.

Wow, shocking that criminals were treated like criminals. I guess they should have tried to curry favor with the authorities. ?

Shocking that these criminals were treated like criminals.?

The mental gymnastic is quite impressive. Imagine my shock when crime is treated with enforcement. It would be one thing if Americans could reciprocate invading other countries, however, unfortunately that is not allowed. I do feel bad for illegal immigrants because they got away with breaking the law for so long and now the law is being enforced at once.

Hey CNN, where is your video on Maxine Waters storming the Education Building...looking like a fool , as usual. I'm shocked that you wouldnt want to show your viewers how unhinged the left has become. That security guard deserves a darn raise.

My daughter lives in Vancouver , I was there in November and was shocked at the price of homes

palki is in shock n his channel also fubsing stoppes from usaid ???

I used to go there when i was like 17 or something at the time all you needed was a Birth certificate and a drivers license now its a passport. I always enjoyed myself when i was there the people was so nice and what shocked me the most was interracial relationship. I plan to move there Fuck the USA it never has done for me and my people and probably never will.

These immigrants are not notorious criminals -- WHY SHOULD they be chained over body and their hands??? This is too much to be done by a country that stands as guardian of human rights! It's shocking..

They must take the illegal citizens here in South Africa ,i was shocked to hear there of them here illegally
