When you arrive at Pearson airport the signs you see on arrival are “Immigration” in bold, S.I.N sign directing you where to go, then as soon as you grab your bag there’s a phone booth giving you access to buy phones and plans. It’s a welcome to Canada, grab your shit and get out there. 800,000 plus in Q1 alone but apparently the doors are closed according to Trudeau 2.0. Congrats Canada, you played yourself

You dumb whyte Canadians thought that you were gonna play replace black Canadians in the workplace with punjabi, how did that work out for you guys😂

I’m driving by a closed local grocery store the other night. The parking lot has 8 or so Indians playing cricket in the lot under the lights. I just shake my head like man, what the fuck happened to my province. When I was young we had multiculturalism but this is different. As an adult I look around and we have an Indian invasion. Let’s be clear. It’s not Asians or blacks or whatever. It’s shit tons of Indians and yes they are ruining Canada.

I am supportive of immigration, but I believe there should be a cap of no more than 1-2.5% annually. A significant number of migrants moving to Canada from the same region or country could cause issues, as this can lead to the formation of "mini-bubble" societies within Canada. These groups may sometimes become the dominant demographic and undermine the existing communities that have contributed to building Canada for decades. We cannot expect new immigrants to seamlessly merge into Canadian society. This is a major oversight by Canada’s Immigration Department. Digital applications from foreign nations may play a role in this phenomenon. There should also be regulations concerning how many new immigrants can be brought in by family members. For instance, one new citizen can legally bring both of their parents and their spouse, which is fair. However, there have been cases where this process is repeated multiple times within ten years, leading to a 1:15 ratio, where one person can bring in six to eight relatives. If there is a labor shortage in essential fields, Canada can offer long-term residency to those who continue to work in those sectors, such as caretakers. However, the pathway to citizenship could be lengthened or require a higher standard. For instance, the requirements could extend from X years of living in Canada to X+5 years, as well as passing a basic Canadian citizenship test, either written or verbal. While an increase of five years may seem unfair or lengthy, it is essential. A newborn child from a Canadian family requires 18 years to gain voting rights in elections, whereas new immigrants—especially those who come for study for four to six years—can potentially gain both citizenship and voting rights sooner if they meet the previous administration's standard. Children under the age of 18 can gain citizenship in as little as X-4 years, regardless of their full integration into Canadian society. This loophole is sometimes abused and provides preferential treatment that favors this process over existing Canadian. In my opinion, it would be fairer to calculate the duration of "living in Canada" based on the number of years they have paid "income taxes" in Canada. This is important because many individuals with multiple passports pay taxes elsewhere while benefiting from Canadian healthcare and other services. The investment in home buying as a pathway to citizenship has contributed to the housing crisis, resulting in numerous empty homes in various regions. While it may offer short-term economic benefits that some politicians favor, it is detrimental to Canada as a whole. If buying a house is the only requirement for citizenship, wouldn't a large portion of the global population be eligible for U.S. citizenship just by investing in U.S. businesses or stocks? This perspective may seem illogical when looking at it from outside the box. Apologies for being a bit wordy; I had much more to say. Nonetheless, I also support temporary residency for up to 6-9 months for those who have been evacuated due to war, natural disasters, or similar circumstances. Special exceptions can be granted for families with members working in critical fields that merit such considerations (high-end industry).

its like trump has never played catan in his life

Look at what is happening. Europe is welcoming Canada into their trading block with open arms. Where is the US turning to? Russia. The irony is that Putin hates the West, always has , and he hates the US in particular. I agree with Clark. Trump’s getting played and he doesn’t even know it. He’s got a lot of $$ in Russian banks and is in Putin’s pocket. When are the Dems going to get loud and get rid of this guy? He is definitely compromised.

The American voters that were stupid enough to vote for Bunkerbitch STILL dont understand what great neighbors Canadians are . When American hockey teams visit , the Canadians would sing America's national anthem when it would be played UNTIL BUNKERBITCH BECAME THE GRAND WIZARD OF THE KKK Government of America .

Phew! Watching the boys play power games...its just getting TEDIOUS

Us been played by Israel not Russia ???

I’m sorry… why can’t T-Rump play fair? Total debacle he is…

I believe Canada and Mexico will fold and play chicken. Trudeau's appeals to US voters showed Canada lacks courage. On TV, Trump saw many Canadian leaders squirming and making threats. Look at China - Xi stayed silent and implement counter measures.

more bull shyte from trudeau. fact: tariffs hurt the people who buy the goods. so canadian tariffs on usa goods means: CANADIANS WILL PAY MORE FOR USA GOODS! just as usa consumers will pay more for canadian goods subject to usa tariffs. if canada wants to return a punch, find other markets, trade with other countries, rid canada of the festering relationship it has with this facist state, usa. \nrealitycheck: both leaders( the turd and comb over clown) are supercharging inflation in their respective countries with this play acting of a trade war.

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.

Trudie, get real and take a seat. Its not personal. The game going on is bigger than Canada. Donald is just trying to get you to act on strategic issues. Like getting ready to own the Northwest passage when it thaws over. Lying murderous dictator are no words for your profession, leave that speak to us the layman.\n\nAnd it's actually kinda funny.. Are you steamrolling away this murderous dictator? No, you're expecting Donald to do it. Get some cards before playing. Or join Amnesty International and write a letter.

Trump he playing games. In United States

A major game of chess playing out...

Trump should get ass pinched by everyone now ?\nHe is playing since he came

That south park song plays in my head all the time

I’m not so sure he’s been played by Putin. I’m afraid he may well be The Manchurian.

He is crying you played with India

Friendships with people from the USA has not deteriorated. It’s that jackass that is playing President that doesn’t have any friends in Canada.

His purpose is to destroy us. Stop playing stupd. Russia Russia Russia He showed his true colors: traitor!

You gonna learn why u donrt play with us ??

Australia??here, great speech Prime Minister Trudeau. America has a strong history with its allies UK, Canada, Japan and Australia but these tariffs undermine these relationships and call into question America's trustworthiness going forward. America will become increasingly isolated which plays directly into China's and Russia's interests.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent coverage of one of the greatest tragedies perpetrated on the American people by its leader. I strongly take issue with the Wall Street Journal opinion of Donald Trump, being a smart man. Only a flaming idiot would let Vladimir Putin play them like a puppet. God bless Canada and it’s unbelievably understanding beautiful people who’s empathy is boundless and God bless Justin Trudeau, who will be unbelievably missed on the world stage and as a beloved, American, cousin, and dear neighbor‼️

Calm down Canada. Trump ain't playing and I for one agree that y'all have literally skated through life. Skate away big boys. Uuuuuuu! Who are you threatening? FFS!\n\nAnyway, I'm in Kenya worried about police killings and such...?

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

DID DONALD PLAY HIS TRUMP CARD ???

Lol this will be interesting he giving this long speech which is great but you know what he could have did put people on the boarder we shall see how this play out for everyone

TRUMP IS KGB AGENT The The material “Trump is a KGB agent” is based on exclusive information received from a former high-ranking employee of the GRU of the USSR Ministry of Defense (Soviet intelligence). For the first time, shocking details of Donald Trump's years-long cooperation with the KGB and FSB are revealed. According to the insider, Russian intelligence services not only recruited him back in 1978, but also played a key role in winning the 2024 election. This data could be the basis for impeachment and even charges of treason. \n \nAleksandr Sotnik (born 1968) is an independent journalist, publicist, analyst and writer. Since 2012, he has covered protest actions across Russia, and was one of the few reporters who documented events in the midst of political crises. In 2014, he founded the independent channel Sotnik-TV, where he published interviews with leading opposition figures, including Boris Nemtsov, Garry Kasparov and others. \nAs an active participant in civil society, he took part in organizing the March Against Scoundrels (2013), the Peace March (2014) and other protest events. In 2018, due to threats of physical violence, he was forced to leave Russia with his family. First he lived in Lithuania, then moved to Slovakia, where he continues his activities as an independent journalist and publicist. \nIn 2023, the Russian authorities added him to the Rosfinmonitoring register as an “extremist and terrorist”, which was yet another example of political pressure on independent journalists. \nToday, Alexander Sotnik continues to work in exile and remains one of the most consistent independent political analysts and journalists exposing the Russian political system and its mechanisms of influen

No country should allow the felon in or come to visit it. Any phone calls must be recorded, and played for your constituancy.

I am 100% sure that this has nothing to do with trade deficits nor fentanyl. If it is a game to provoke the stock market to make the rich richer or some sort of Russian alliance I am not sure. However they are playing dirty and their agenda is hidden from the democracy her. Are Americans ok with this???

This is not going to end well. \n\nThe former NATO Supreme Commander tells it like it will be.\n\nThe USA has already lost massively as Trump does not understand the sound and mostly reasonable US imperial Security Strategy, and i say this as a non US citizen.\n\nI still do not hate the American people, but Trump has given every anti America voice exactly what they needed, big incidents painting to paint them as most evil.\nTrump got played so hard by Putin it is not funny anymore, Putin is the bear and Trump the screaming goose, free meal for the bear.

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.

Trump knows it’s not about fentanyl. He wants your country and your resources. He’s a Russian asset. Dangerous man. Him and Putin work together. Don’t give Trump a damn thing!!!!!!!Trump is not getting played by Putin. He works for Putin!!!!!!

Why would you expect anything less than this dribble....from CNN!\nAs a Canadian...I support Trumps move because unlike that clown, Clark...I know what the ultimate play is!

Let's see how far canada gets playing this game

I like to understand where the premise that presendant Trump is smart coming from, I was able to do some math and check out some of the deals he made, apparently if he stopped doing anything and put the money on some stocks and play golf all of the time since got the money from his father... And literally do nothing but play golf he should have double the money he has now, and when you consider inflation he actually lose his money, I mean his fathers money.... But all of a sudden he is smart,

PM TRUDEAU, Vive le Canada!! Stand tall, most Americans did not vote for Donald Trump the traitor, compulsive liar, his new play stooge - Elon Musk, who was not an elected official - he bought his “special employee position” by donating\n$6 billion to his presidential campaign! \n\nTrump is not trustworthy, he never was, he’s a compulsive liar, always was, he manipulates people - always did to get his way, he doesn’t know American history or European history- never did, he adored reading about Adolf Hitler and how he manipulated the German people to turn against Jews and minorities just like what is being done today by his REPUBTARD PARTY who are afraid to stand up against SATAN -this is who TRUMP sold his soul to to gain the White House including Putin,

Donald, you play by the big dollar. We play with ethics and morals. You 'win' at what cost? I'd rather die with kindness and dignity than being a bully.

The net effect is positive for the US and it will reduce the trade deficit and more over he can use the surplus to offer subsidies while also reducing the national debt as well. This is a good play from Trump, but the liberals will never understand him because they think with their emotions.

The job of a business man is to PERSUADE people, NOT convince (logic, Engineers). They play with T.h.y ? emotion ! Just for information...

Its a good cop bad cop play for both of these assholes while food and rent prices go up.?

Is he played by Putin. No he is not. He is serving Putin. Walk like a duck and quack like duck. He must be the spy.

trump and congress need to be voted out trump is a puppet and putin is playing trump.... ww the people of these United States of America had better do something very soon ..... because I don't think we can wait tell our next elections we need to do sometime now

I can't believe the negative response to Donald Trump. He knows exactly what he is doing. This is just Step 1.He is playing his cards and he will get exactly.What will work for the american people

I know a grift when I see one. You’re being played both of you!

You can tell by the comments these people are out of touch with reality. Trudeau took your freedom away, taxes you to death, and Crys like a sissy boy and you still lick his boots. Canada wouldn't be ?without the US. Your government has been living high on the hog off of old Uncle Sam and now that he is leveling the playing field you're squealing like little girls. Grow up!

I wonder who will play Trudeau in the SNL cold open ?

Trudeau is an extension of Biden and his mindless leadership. Why were you not taking stronger measures on the border before you were threatened tariffs? It’s bc you were part of the root problem. Now you’re pretending like you wanna play along but you should have chosen this a long time ago.
