Everyone is an immigrant whether born or naturalised in Canada if ya not the Native red indians, hate it or love it, The problem Canada is facing and MUST Fix is the simple but complex problem of imbalance in the multicultural immigration policy entries,, STOP favouring a particular RACE and set of people over others, setting an english test prerequisite for others and waiving for these RACE that dont even speak ABC...Create a balanced society and Maintain the Quota measures across board or scrap the quota that is not adopted seamlessly. The Problem of IMBALANCE in culture will distort the society further...Take a lesson learned from United Kingdom now being overrun ,,,Ya land at Hearthrow now ya think ya not in UK.

Most importantly, Canada should humble before the LORD GOD under whom the forefathers belief and obey Him, stop provoking the LORD GOD,,,Eradicate and REPENT from being Sodomic and Gomorrahic Abolish same sex ABOMINATION as The Ubited States of America is doing..for Mercy and Progress to come to this Nation under GOD ALMIGHTY...

I have only one question.. why is the government allowing them into the country ? What is the reason and who is it benefiting??? As I commented before , my parents came to Canada in 1966 I was just a baby , Canada had endless jobs in manufacturing, and especially in the construction sector , I will say that immigrants back then , Italians , and Portuguese really built this country , the men and women worked sometimes two jobs , no hand out from the government , no sick days , Canada was beautiful growing up , .. that’s how I remember it , other immigrants followed , from Poland , and then the Indians started to come in by the 80”s .. fast forward to now , I’m embarrassed of our country , it’s disgraceful and disgusting, the transition from back then to now , I feel like I’m living in India , dirty , scammers , gangs , thief’s , murders , ignorant , entitlement; disrespectful etc .. facts , one thing that I can’t wrap my head around is the language barrier , why are these people working in customer service ? Why are they dealing with the public ??? Why are they in the health care industry, nurses , doctors etc , when they can’t speak the language???? Why are they accepted in these highly skilled positions? Just because you have the skill ? Isn’t knowing the language and being able to communicate a requirement regardless what job you have ? Why is the government allowing them in this country and then paying for them to have all these resources available to them ? Why ?? We need to start helping the people that have contributed to this country , that paid taxes and their dues FIRST … we do not have enough affordable housing , jobs , hospitals ,etc .Canada has falling , they are a financial strain on this country , it needs to STOP.. this isn’t the 60”s anymore Canada is to the max , no opportunity here anymore , send them back !

China & India are grossly overpopulated! Our Pm has visited both countries & made a deal to bring them here. What was the deal & why do taxpayers have to pay for their freedom here. I do not hate them, I just don't trust them & I don't think they listen to Canadians. They are filling their own pockets buying votes from the new immigrants.

No doubt about it, Canada is for Canadians. If you wanted to, you could deport millions of immigrants, but let's be real about the cost. The Canadian economy, its pensions, its farms, and its health sector all rely on immigrants to pay taxes and fill jobs. It's not some big conspiracy about population replacement; it's just about the economy. You can't have one without the other. Canadians aren't the only ones dealing with this. In Asia and Africa, it's a different kind of immigrant, the ones with money who buy up land and property, driving locals out of the market. They're not given an ear either, because money talks. It’s always been about the money and the power, and Canadians should understand that perspective too. The culture or religion of a few bad apples shouldn’t be used to tarnish every immigrant. We do need to do a better job screening people, but it’s not fair to paint everyone with the same brush. In the U.S., Indian immigrants are top earners and incredibly successful, but people still complain that they’re "taking their jobs." So, if an Indian person is a failure, they're a problem. If they're a success, they're still a problem. They can't win. This old colonial mindset is alive and well. It's tough for some people to process that a person of color can outsmart them and rise up by their own bootstrap. But when those same folks go to Asia or Africa, suddenly they feel that old nostalgia and are much more comfortable with the social hierarchy there. It would be ideal if no one had to leave their home country for a better life. When we have more justice in the world for everyone, maybe we won't have to keep having these conversations.

These smash and grabs are a problem, some of these stores are hit multiple times. Perhaps tthese store owners should get a few trained police dogs for protection. Another problem is the.leniency of the courts for these immigrants. Special laws for immigrants is not how to deal with problems.

I do not believe the Liberal Govt won the last Election...just look into all of the shady dealings, and complaints, 14 thousand outstadinng election integrity complaints...WTF and elections Canada is doing nothing about it our the 124,000 cancelled ballots, they DID NOT WIN...the Left once in power steals power to make sure their crimes are never exposed

O…M…G…! I did not realize, until I read these comments, how many nincompoops we also have in Canada! 1) we are ALL IMMIGRANTS with the First Nations being here first.* * since "time immemorial," a concept referring to First Nations presence on the land long before recorded history. Archeological and genetic evidence suggests migration from northeastern Asia, likely via the Bering Strait, with research pointing to human arrival 30,000 years ago or even earlier. 2) we have welcomed immigrants to settle our lands since more inhabitants equals more revenues for infrastructure. Yes, restructuring of the process is a good idea. 3) Poilievre is a thin skinned man of the pointy finger and blame game with little to offer in actual plans or programs. He plays to people’s gripes, whining, and general b*tch*ness. He IS very similar to the blow-hart down south although more literate. 4) There is no possible way he, especially being of like behaviour, could deal with The Felon. He is NOT a negotiator. He is not calm; he’s bombastic. He’s waaaaaaaay to the right, and will trample equal rights for women, and other valued communities. He has no interest in listening to other positions, views, or suggestions. His way or the highway. Again like the Fascist down south. 4) Our provincial leaders (except a few traitors to Canada’s sovereignty) are behind the extremely difficult work Carney is doing for our country. 67% of Canadians are cheering him on, including the Conservative playground scrapper, Doug Ford, plus Stephen Harper. So, put your bile on hold and support the positive. We’re in a really difficult, daily changing, coming at us from all sides, battle with the POS south of us. Carney is giving it his all. Can’t imagine he gets much sleep. How ‘bout break with the party-love, and have some respect for someone working so hard. Fighting for YOU! ❤️🇨🇦❤️

Canada, Australia, and the UK are all dealing with the same.

Trudeau and Jagmeet had a deal. What wad it? Since then this has become a huge problem. Don't expect the feds to fix this overnight. Stop immigration for 5-10yrs and hire a dept to verify ALL student visa, biometrics, overstays, etc. Start a dept to do surprise visits to all work establishments for documentation of all employees. Stop giving money away to refugees unless 100% verified to be actual refugee. Don't bring your culture to another country if you left your country. When you leave you adapt to the countries way of life. Canada is not for you of you cannot respect Canadians way of life.. We don't want your cultures, we already have our own Canadian way of life.

You people deserve this and what's coming next. I've been telling for over 5 years what needs to be done to stop all of this, bit you refuse to do it. You believe it's going to get done by 'peacefully protesting' lol. The first thing EVERYONE should be doing is STOP PAYING F*CKING TAXES! The second thing, is to organize into large groups and start dealing with politicians, cops, judges, etc the way they need to be dealt with! Grown adults acting like children!

We’re done with DEI and we’re done with all the antisemitism and want whomever they can deport that are protesting for Palestine and keep foreign issues out of our country and deal with our own🇨🇦

You literally had the opportunity to change this four months ago. Instead yall got bamboozled by a sh-tty slogan "elbows up" yall are dumb. Deal with it.

This guy should talk. We had to hold a whole Caribbean festival for his community all that dirty smell.btw, guess who’s responsible for all the gang violence, carjacking, and drug dealing affecting the city. Have you seen certain areas of Toronto — like Jane and Finch or parts of Scarborough? It’s been a "disgusting abomination" for decades.

You know what too...If Canadians was too go to India I wouldn't be able to bring my Canadian/Caribbean Culture there..I look at it like this his your moving to another Country I'm gonna adapt to The Culture and Lifestyle..Im not gonna bring my Old Ways that I wanted to leave to a New Country and Life...I feel like its not Canadians being Racist it's that they came here and The Government and Businesses are Catering to them From Adding Specific Food Items to cater to them most Jobs are by passing others to hire them...And on top of that Canadians are dealing with Food Cost being High still and Working a Job and still not making else to live a decent Life...Seems like most people are Working to Survive and Pay Bill and don't even have enough to atlest go out and have a peace of mind and have a Social Life...There brought in all these Immigrants to The Country while The Country was basically under a Recession...And this Problem is not getting Fixed now and it seems like it's getting worst..To the point I feel like a Civil War could even break out I this don't get Fixed somehow and someway... Purple Gorillaz Was Here. Peace.

Bernier was probably the closest thing to a chance to deal with this democraticly that we had. And I didn't think he had a chance in FPTP from the get go. Anyone remember Trudeau's promise to end FPTP? Yeah I had a little hope for that, that could have saved Canada.

Apply for US citizenship, it will take a little while for the paperwork to go through but eventually it will. Anybody with half a brain and a good attitude can earn a six figure income and keep 80% of it as take home pay after tax (graduated tax brackets and standard deduction averages your rate much lower). Add in our investment options and minimal tax on that and you'll realize paying for medical insurance and your own retirement is not a big deal in fact you end up with a lot more money doing it this way vs big government.

Who benefits ? Big companies which require a steady supply of low skilled labor . Recruiters , consultants, lawyers all get their cut . No regard for quality … just numbers, and society must deal with the dregs … similar to pollution by greedy corporations.

I Don,t think Americans REALIZE what they are doing to THEMSELVES...Trump doesn,t care about you or anyone for that matter. He has his 500 Billion mineral deal eith Ukraine. He forced poor soul, Zelensky to sign this deal today...Just when this Guy is at his most vulnerable situation with Ukraine. So it is all about ??...no one will be saved in the long run...Because there will be NO military back up, if Russia will attack again after all minerals, have been excavated...So Trump is just as evil as his twin-brother Putin.

I support Canada but not Trudeau , he is just smokes and mirrors…I think as soon as his govt falls and new govt forms USA will negotiate a deal with Canada and trade will return to normal …

But you took guns away from Canadian citizens? You are not dealing with Biden you are dealing with a true American and our President!All the American products Canada took off the shelves,well you done paid for it so you eat it! Ask the distributors they are the ones loosing money!

It has occurred to me that, if Canada is rich in minerals he’s seeking from Ukraine, the only reason for the Ukraine deal is because he has something else to gain…. Alignment with Putin being my first thought. And after Ukraine is secured to US/Russia they will move on to Greenland. All to line their pockets.

Trump is (clinically) a malignant narcissis. Hi personality needs to be fed by a constant flow of accolades from his chosen lackeys. He is so easily played by people whispering in his ear that he is being slighted (Zelensky and Trudeau, even if it is imaginary. It is ridiculous that America has allowed this to come about by their majority of incredibly ignorant voting populace. Starmer showed how to handle Trump. Grovelling and obsequious flattery. Noting else. We are dealing with a President of the USA who has a low IQ even lower EQ (think of a vindictive 10 year old). He has sly animal cunning for sure but that's it. We have 4 years of this moron, God knows what damage he can cause. The thing that motivates him ? Challenges, aspirational acts of benevolence ? Don't be silly tuckers and lovers, it's lovely money, as much as is endlessly possible. Is that the American dream? Is that what makes this English speaking nation tick. Looks very much like it.

Justin is on the way out in the next few weeks his successor will make the deal to be the 51st state. These tariffs will wreck the Canadian economy.

President Trump is Wrong and Should be Stopped by The Supreme Court for violating His Sworn Duty to Serve Americans Citizens, NOT Russians INTERESTS. HE ASO IS BRINGING OUR COUNTRY INTO COMPLETE FINANCIAL SHUT DOWN A DEPRESSION. PUTTIN IS EVIL, BUT SLEEPING WITH HIM ISN'T THE ANSWER TO DEALING WITH HIM. PUTTIN PLANS TO DESTROY THE WORLD, GOG AND MAYGOG. WAKE UP AMERICA, GOD WARNED US ABOUT THE EVIL Leaders THAT WOULD LIE TO US SO THEY COULD CONTROL EVERYTHING EVEN THE COST OF FOOD And WHERE WE GET IT. TAKE NO MARKS ON YOUR HANDS OR HEAD. PAY ATTENTION AND PRAY FOR GOD'S INTERVENTION. MR. TRUMP IS OUT OF CONTROL AS IS HIS CABINET OF PEOPLE. THEY ACT LIKE THEY CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT BECAUSE IT WON'T HURT THEM. IT WILL BE THE WEAK, ELDERLY, SICKLY, WIDOWS, CHILDREN AND THE POOR THAT WILL SUFFER EVEN MORE. WHAT ABOUT ALL OF THE HOMELESS AND THE FOLKS THAT ARE SUFFERING FROM FLOUDS AND FIRE. Washington could be fixing our National problems but they aren't. People are hurting every day in America. Getting poorer and poorer every day. Maybe that's Washington's plan to kill off the needy.

The whole world watching each and everyone that how the excellent leadership that not only lead its country very well and also leads other countries with compassion, rational and pragmatic though, serious engagements for peace process to deal with conflicts, violence and war but the current leadership seems determined to push long established traditions of honesty, integrity, transparency, rationality, pragmatism and even common sense in deep crisis with unlimited stupidity, ignorance, violent leadership, rude language and flouting all long established rules of diplomacy thrown away overnight and ridiculing even global leaders who command great respect from international community and at the same time bluntly taking side with all dictators of the world and supporting, promoting, patronising violence, war, mass murder at the cost of priceless human lives! Horrible! The ghosts of Hitler return back in the largest democracies of the world!

Americans, wake up to yourselves. You all knew Trump and his family are corrupt, you all knew his fellow Americans have found him guilty of federal crimes, including rape, and you all knew his intention to follow the so-called “Project 2025.” You all knew that Vance is a man-child, too. You knew Trump’s family profited from corrupt pork barrel dealings that grew out of his first term as your president. You knew he has a penchant to be an autocrat, like his friend in North Korea and the other ghastly dictator in Russia. You knew his intentions on the world stage. And you knew Trump’s mind has failed. Still, most of you actively chose to reinstall that monster in your highest office. You have replaced the king your forefathers fought, killed and died to remove from ruling the new territories that were to be created to be free of dictatorial power - something your grandparents, parents, brothers, sisters, sons and daughters, and your own good selves have killed and died to protect! Still, most of you chose to put this poor imitation of a man into your presidency. Soon you will look around and realise you are losing serious respect and dignity, allies and meaningful friends. And you will have done this to yourselves.

Damn right I'd rather be charged 25% of American goods and deal with their f**** asses in Canada

⁠ there were no significant tariffs on US goods prior to Trumps war…the last trade agreement worked those out. Thus why you can’t do business with the US…can’t be trusted as they change the deal. Sad for the US

From the UK: Brilliant, well thought out speech making something so difficult explained so simply and clearly … you can only deal with bully one way… that is to stand up. It will only get worse otherwise. Let the rest of the free democratic world unite behind this!

The difference with Trump getting minerals from Canadian or Ukraine is that he can take the minerals from Ukraine as part of a blackmail deal to get a peace deal, but with no guarantees for providing security for Ukraine. Canada would want to trade the minerals not give them away.

Trudeau should call Trump, it's set so high at 25 to make some sort of deal. I get the impression that Trump would like Canada to set up some shops in the US and get some benefits to help build the shops. When a new tariff is put in place, you have to call Trump to remove the tariff like last time.

We are gonna be stronger then before lets deal together with together

Trump has destroyed trust in US allies, and it can ont be repaired easy. Trust can be destroyed in minutes, but it takes many years, maybe decades, before it can be gained again. It affects not only what US experiences right now with Canada and Mexico. Be sure that even Taiwan Australia and all other Asian allies are questioning right now if USA can be trusted. Imagine, Trumps breaks a treaty with Canada and Mexico which he personally has established in his first presidency and sold to his people as the greatest deal that has ever been archieved. Tells you a lot about US credebility. Trump is right now destroing world order which has been established mainly by USA after WW2.\nI heared, that there are rumors, that Trump might be a Russian KGB agent since 1987. I don't know if that is true, but it would explain a lot of why Trump is acting as he does - it is not in the interest of USA, pressurizing/blackmailing/offending/humiliating US allies and destroying US and foreign economies. This is practically enacting a wishlist of foreign dictators like Putin and Xi Chin Ping.\nIt certainly will not make America great again, but poorer, weaker and internationally isolated. it will be US people that will suffer the most.

The reopening of coal mines, oil rigs, wells, refineries, and power plants, along with the return of several companies to the United States similar to the trends observed during Trump's first term, indicates a positive outlook for job creation. For the first time in many years, we have reopened America to mineral mining opportunities, Zelensky's supporters are beginning to turn against him regarding negotiations for assistance in the Ukraine conflict. Engaging in discussions with Putin to reach an agreement aimed at halting the war should not be misconstrued as forming an alliance with him; rather, it is a pragmatic approach. In diplomacy, it is common to negotiate with individuals one may not personally favor, this will lead to a Huge Mineral rights deal

Justin, you're dealing with a very uneducated population of Americans who will support a president that will ruin the American economy as long as he satisfies the white grievances of a particular segment of our population

When surgeons deal with a cancer they cut it out what do politicians do with a political cancer ?

Donald does not, nor has ever, understood politics or geo-politics. He approaches things as 'business deals' amongst businesses but Countries are not businesses. I have no doubt he is surrounded by people that have known these tariffs are a bad idea but are more interested in keeping their jobs than speaking up with knowledge and experience. Donald is a bully and you have 2 choices. Accept or take the gloves off. Donald is a twice impeached, convicted criminal. I hope the 150+ million that voted for him never complain about the hardships that are on the way. Donald has been authentic from day 1 of his first campaign. He's egotistic, narcissistic, arrogant, insecure, ignorant. I no longer buy American products nor will I set foot in country where half the population has no problem with his lack of empathy, lack of ethics, lack of morality. He isn't the problem so much as he has REVEALED a problem in American society.

as a european i can say we are equally sick of the USA. \nwe all see this around the world. \nand donald is pushing alot of different countries and talking smack about alot of supposedly allied countries. \nsoon the USA wont have many friends. and once we start doing deals with eachother instead and outside of the USA. \nand once we stop using US Dollar as primary trade currency between countries what gonna happen to the average americans economy or wealth saved up?

Trump is a blackmailer, nothing else, because he is not clever and can't make clever deals. He lives in his own world.

To clarify US credibility with Allies is Not on the Line.\nThere hasnt been any credibility to begin with. Anyone who makes Deals with Trump only half expects him to keep them and everyone knows him as utterly unpredictable.\n\nI dont know what credibility they are taking about.

TRUMP The Master Deal Maker...just played his ACE..Watch the dominos fall..We've ALL been played..join the dots..WE ARE THE GAME

Czech Republic ?? stands with Canada! And admire how you all deal with this. What a great speach of a real gentleman. “We are polite but we will not back down from a fight” - what a line! “Donald” has an utterly twisted mind and am so glad so many Americans know it.\nThe way how he and his pet Vance treat Ukraine is sick on the whole other level.

whats the big deal,us is known to ditch allies,they did it in middle east ,now it's to Europe and canada.....maybe its horrible now because white people are involved this time

Trump is the king of narcissists and a greater threat to world peace than Putin, along with his puppet children, Musk and Vance. It’s not bullying — it’s humiliation! Trump’s approach to deals is simple: “Thank you, if you don’t want to deal with us, we’ll take it anyway.” All he wants is the rare earth to develop quantum Computers,he will then lever that power to manipulate, unfortunately most of it is towards the Russian boarder! ?

Who is this female chattermouth? She talks too much about what was already discussed. And the guy with gray hair, I have to tell you, Canada had bed fees up with dealing with the stupid lunatic in the Whitehouse.

I guess the USA will be trading with Russia soon.\n\nMaybe thats the deal.

Justin is the best! America stabs allies in the back and deal with russian dictator. Do americans agree????

It could be a good deal for north america to take over Haití and set the microchip industry over there restoring a small hub like that would make all haitianians greatly greatfull with USA IDK is just a suggestion for Mr Trump and his gabinete to think about.

Well we know what happened last time this happened! Canada traded with Australia, Uk and all the Commonwealth countries around the world which only benefited those countries. America was the first to bend and scrapped the tariffs in the end! However in the meantime let’s do a deal Canada ???

Who exactly is your enemy in this world? Leaders like Trudeau, Zelenskyy, Starmer, and most European leaders often sound like staunch supporters of AIPAC. Meanwhile, Trump negotiated with Russia and China to establish peace deals and broader economic opportunities that could benefit everyone. In contrast, these diabolical figures seem to be freeloading, using U.S. tax dollars to pursue their own agendas, targeting anyone who doesn’t align with them—including major superpowers. This isn’t America’s problem to solve. They refuse to admit that without the U.S., they have no leverage left to play with.
