Canadian winter. I live in southern Ontario… last winter I shoveled the drive twice with just a broom … and rarely needed a full winter jacket. I have two words for you… climate change. If I want frostbite, Cash…. I need to stick my head in a freezer. LOL.

Feel sorry for white Canadians living in street, bridges, bushes! It is a disgrace!!! Not good!

I want to ask you guys a question ( I am Canadian born ), but have had a lot of contact with Americans and have spent some time down in the USA. My question is, Do you think Canadians are passive aggressive compared to Americans? Kind of wishy washy? I find in dealing with Americans is that they are straight to the point and tend to cut out the BS.

how do i get canadian standard format for cv

3:02 that is a Khalistani flag. Canadians better differentiate between Khalistani and Indians. \n\nCanada wanted to one-up India, hav a stick to beat India with, by inviting and providing safe haven to thousands of Khalistanis.. who may look like Sikh, but not Sikh. Now forget about beating India with that, they are themselves getting a whooping of their life time.\n\n\nAnd sensible Canadians will know the difference between Indians and Khalistani. And they would be sure to make that difference while they talk about India. Most Indians there went legally. Most Khalistani went there with a fake asylum status or illegally. If you Canada want to send back every one, please do. Start with Khalistanis. Else, Brampton will be new capital of Khalistan.

Betcha half of those migrants are just Canadian citizens fleeing Trudeau

lol there is a lot of ignorance about Canada and Canadians here. We are not nice, we are passive aggressive, we love foreigners who come to this country to launder their dirty money in real estate (up up go the housing prices), the RCMP is the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (not patrol) and Mexicans who have no previous ties or status in Canada DO need a visa to enter. Canada has accepted an insane amount of Uber / amazon driving immigrants over the past few years to boost the GDP, unfortunately our infrastructure across the country is lacking. We don't have enough homes, schools, hospitals, doctors, good jobs for the people that are already here. Immigrants are conned and sold a lie, going to the USA only makes sense. Both of our countries need immigration reform.

Wow, so our Canadian government flies them in then they get money from us, then they go to U.S. and get more money and housing \n So where do we get a pass like that to move to a Place that is safer for free?

Is these Canadian wild fires ? and attempt to block migrants crossing?

The Canadian government is so preposterously left wing that getting migrants where they want to go is more important than stopping the spread of dangerous cartels.

There are now quite a few news stories in Canada of immigrants leaving the country - some back home and others to the USA and other places. Many just get a Canadian passport and then leave. There are public health care and pensions, so it can be an asset and also a convenient travel document to have. A lot of Canadian university graduates have a very hard time finding work in their fields and a lot of them look to the US for a better future. Both immigration and unemployment in Canada are much higher that in the US - so more people are chasing fewer jobs that often pay less and are taxed more than in the USA. Opportunities are generally a lot fewer in Canada than the US, and the business environment is not as favourable, and taxes significantly higher. You would be getting some of the entrepreneurs from Canada moving to the US for more favourable conditions as well to launch a business and also now a lot more rich investor types, so-called high net worth individuals wanting to relocate, because they just raised the capital gains tax in Canada. Capital gains is also triggered on inheritance in Canada with a deemed sale of property and assets, so rich people would prefer the American system and want to be residents there for tax purposes and have their assets grow in value in the US compared to Canada. There are very large numbers of foreign students and other categories of immigrants which may have as their goal going to the US after getting a temporary visa to Canada which is easy to get - maybe something like half a million to a million people in those categories depending on the year, plus around another half million regular immigrants and refugees now. The Trudeau administration has increased immigration to record numbers. It has been steadily going up over the years for several decades since 1990. Because of family re-unification it can have a snowball effect and could significantly exceed 1 million per year. A lot of the sending countries have much larger populations than Canada, so there are a lot more that can be potentially sent to Canada in the future. About 1/4 of the population of Canada has been added in the past few decades. Add to that visitors and temporary visas - that is a lot of people potentially moving to the US. Before the 1990s Canadians visiting the US were not required to have a passport and a drivers' license or birth certificate was adequate. Now a passport is required. It is impossible to effectively control the long Canada-US border, so there could be some unified policies in that area agreed on between Canada and the USA on immigration and refugees. Canada currently has a very open immigration policy with the government actively seeking out more immigration beyond its current processing capacity and trying to take rejected immigrants from other countries. The Canadian government, especially in recent years under Trudeau is immigration hungry. It might be the only country in the world doing that. What some news reports are now saying is that some immigrants are actually leaving, since they find it so difficult in Canada and some are worse off than they were in the countries they came from, which were considered to be less developed than Canada. \nWashington currently has more immigration controls and administrative competencies than Ottawa, so US pressure and influence is a faster way to get reforms into the system than waiting for local politicians to do anything, which is unlikely. Canada is seen by some as a backdoor into the US. Biden's immigration policies could be seen as very conservative in Canada compared to Trudeau's. It used to be in the news about how refugees were trying to get to Canada and walking across the border in Quebec and out west from the US earlier, but now there are more news stories of immigrants leaving Canada trying to go the other way, probably due to high costs and unemployment because the government took in more people than it could absorb into the economy. They have the idea that immigration drives GDP growth so that they can borrow and spend more, expand the civil service, etc. without making any cutbacks or efficiencies, supposedly without the Debt to GDP ratio getting worse, just by bringing in more people as if that would drive the economy. A lot depends on who you bring in as well. Are they going to go on welfare, are they going to increase crime, will they somehow contribute to society, are they a net tax benefit or cost in terms of government services, will they invest money, will they start a business and create jobs for others ? Those issues do not factor into government decision making in Canada for the most part. Ontario Premier Doug Ford did say there were too many foreign students. It is bad planning not to consider those factors since there are other costs that grow with those policies as well, and infrastructure has to be expanded. I think that the real immigration numbers to Canada are not transparent or made public, nor are the costs involved, if anyone even knows what they are. Nor is the impact on crime. You can guess from what the reports are in other countries. The Fraser Institute has made some estimates on the net costs of immigration to the government budget a few years ago, which were very high and which by now have increased - the cost equivalent of several new aircraft carriers each year. They are big numbers which are not publicized, but it amounts to the fact that immigration is subsidized by the taxpayers in Canada and it is not paying for our pensions as an ageing society as has been claimed. There is less money for education, health care and pensions per person, and those social benefits will probably have to be reduced over time. Social programs can only be delivered to the extent that the government has money. The bigger social system a county has, the more such immigration policies are going to cost. Trudeau has been expanding various social programs as well, so higher taxes and debt are likely with that approach. Then more productive people and companies will want to leave Canada and go to the US. Probably the government does not know what the actual numbers and costs are and doesn't actively keep track of that information beyond what is required. Probably nobody knows what the true immigration figures and their associated costs are in Canada, and hardly anyone has even studied those issues. If they can just walk across the US border and get papers so easily making an asylum claim, it is not surprising, since it would take them longer to get a regular visa and work permit if they did it legally. You could call that a loophole in the US immigration system which is being exploited. The US is better governed in general and has a better system in many ways, but I am not sure if it is the same on that. People have arrived on boats and have not been sent back. At least in the US you have more open information about those issues. In Canada it is hard to find out anything about it. Deportations from Canada are very few. \nOn other issues in Canada when voting in federal elections you have to show a government issued photo ID like a drivers' license or passport to vote and bring a card that was mailed out to eligible voters that gets updated addresses when a person files their taxes. I have never heard of mail-in ballots in Canada, but there are remote areas of the country in the far north who may have special system for voting. It is easier to get a Canadian citizenship than US and many more citizenships are handed out in Canada each year in proportion to the population than in the US. Canadian might be one of the easiest citizenships to get in the world. The official line now is that it is a country of immigrants. Based on current trends, will very little opposition to it in the parliament and most MPs supporting it, future immigration to Canada could increase to several million per year because of the rapid growth of population in the world, and the momentum already growing of immigration to Canada, so it may change significantly in the future. Historically around the world you can see many examples that country names, borders, flags and languages change over time with population changes, so it might not be called Canada anymore in 50-100 years. For example, Bulgaria used to be called Thrace which had been a powerful kingdom in antiquity and had a different language which is barely known about anymore. Over the past 2,000 years it has gone through a number of changes and had various regimes governing it, has been independent and also part of several different empires. Canada has only been a country for a short time in comparison and has been been going through significant changes. Trudeau has said that Canada is a post-national country. Canada is also going through a period of critical self-examination and deconstruction-revisionism. A lot of what had been viewed as positive from its history now is seen more critically, with re-naming and removing historical figures now seen as negative.\nDiscussing immigration policy critically is considered by many to be taboo in Canada, unless a person is saying good things about it in general. You can hear people say that the government isn't processing enough people, for example, but not often that there are too many or that it costs a lot of money. The trend of migration from Canada to the US would only increase much more in the future as it is going currently, and its role as a stepping stone to migration to the US could increase. The way this would be seen by many in Canada is that they are losing valuable people to the USA whom they consider assets, since a lot of officials have been trying to bring in more people into the country, but not everyone wants to stay in Canada nowadays because of a lack of jobs and opportunities. Canada is quite laissez-faire about migration, with Toronto being a sanctuary city as well.

I'm Canadian. We have a serious problem called Trudeau. We are stuck with him until October 2025 at the latest. He will very likely lose the next election.

Im a Canadian and I can not enter the USA without a passport.

I am Canadian & I seriously have no idea what is wrong with our leader Trudeau. I apologize for his ignorance & stupidity. Both Canada & the US need some serious changes in our leadership soon. It’s getting way out of hand & they put laws in place so that real actual citizens of the US & Canada can’t even defend ourselves against this migrant invasion of our countries. I love people from other countries but come in legally & stop hurting our people

You can thank Trudeau for that he has absolutely wrecked this Country Toronto is a ? hole now everything Canadian is gone and i have to move further north to get away from it HOPEFULLY

I'm Canadian. I'm sorry. Our Prime Minister is destroying our country. Our immigration laws are too lenient.

We (Canadians) have had terrible issues with gun smuggling from the US into our major cities... of course both sides need to help each other on both sides of the border on these issues.

If i were a Canadian how would i get into the usa as a migrant?

Dang! I'd rather live under the US constitution than Canada's.... As a Canadian, I declare refugee status! Trudeau!!!!

Explain how a legal immigrants are being allowed in the country through the Canadian border and how the administration doesn't deserve to be put in prison holy crap how can people be so blind

You American can thank Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for this. Justin Trudeau hates Canadians and Americans nobody likes him here in Canada

Hey Canadians, if living in Canada is so great then why is EVERYONE coming here to the US and not to Canada, UK, or the thousands of other countries???? Why are they all coming here???

Isn't it nice the Canadian government and Biden and Harris make it so easy for them.

Mr Trudeau: I am ashamed of you. You have ruined, changed many good things from Canada. All cultures are different. This is part of North America. You promised different things to Canadians & old immigrants, but didn’t do it. Everything is so expensive. This is European, white, Latin American country. Where is your head? Do not bring more people from India, Asia, Africa & other parts of the world If you don’t know their gods, their culture, background. How are you going to help the people that are in here??? Send all the people back, & help here. Don’t be like your father& family. Shame on you.

So I did not know this. I’d be willing to bet that Canadians for the most part aren’t aware of it either. I can’t believe that a Mexican doesn’t need a visa but I do. I was freaking born there. Smh.

How can Iligals enter US without pasport ? Im canadian and when goin to Detroit border guards treat me like susp terrorist ❤

Funny how just about the time that the U.S. finally tightens up the southern border (a bit), Trudeau makes sure to facilitate crossings from the Canadian border. ?

So, the Canadian border. The same border that's closed if you're travelling north from the US. yea....

I'm Canadian with no criminal record and they won't let me across the border. But if you're an immigrant from wherever the hell, and you're willing to actually f*** the system, there's no problem. \n\nSo wait all I have to do is actually lie to the border guards? \n\nI thought that was supposed to prevent people from abusing the law and now it's become an incentive.

I guess they are not Canadian citizens either. Why would any sane Canadian citizen want to go to the USA? Make no sense. There are way more cons than benefits for a Canadian to go to the USA.

On behalf of Canadians I sincerely apologize. We know it's a problem and our government is a corrupt cartel that doesn't care about any one but themselves. Please send help.

thank you for the coverage of this issue\nas a Canadian who lived in Texas for a couple of years back at the turn of the century before 911, things sure seem to have changed at the borders,

As a Canadian, I can state that our current Liberal government doesn't care about Canadians, or if people illegally cross the border into the USA.

This is planned and allowed by both US obiden admin and Canadian Trudeau. It's coordinated from around the world. It's operation is sophisticated enough that governments know about it, arrange it and profit from it. It's the people that suffer.

Hey im Rody Piper from Canada ?? Sorry guys ??\nAre government has sold all Canadians out. We have lost all are rights and freedom of speech. We are overpopulated by almost 4 million people, and no one's being held accountable for this major issue on both sides of our borders \n????\nWe need to stand together and deal with this once and for all

I always thought that we need to be worried about security on the Canadian border as well, not just the Mexican border. Who knows what villains are coming through canada

Canadian here, Ontario. Ummm, Canada and everything you think you know about us is over. Our country has been destroyed by Trudeau, who is basically a puppet of the WEF and the Liberal agenda. We don't have an immigration problem. We are currently being invaded by millions of Punjabi. One area from India. Over 2 million just in Ontario. Keep in mind, into southern Ontario. Near Toronto and Windsor. We are in crisis here, our social services are on the brink. Cost of living is becoming impossible. The western way of life is being eroded in every western country. It is so obvious. They say population decline, but then why have millions and millions from one small area of the world??? I have no national pride left. I hate it here. It's over.

We are aware and we as Canadians care about our role in your and our border problem. Our Liberal government however is the problem. Unintelligent people in cabinet following the most unintelligent Prime Minister. Why Canadians vote for them is beyond me. Mostly eastern Canadians do as western Canadians are Conservative voters.

LMAO Tim Hortons will survive just fine, just as they've done for many decades before this Mass wave of immigration was allowed to drown the entire country. Typically Tim Hortons was high school or summer student employees with a few lifers that managed to climb the ranks and stayed for whatever reason and became managers or overnight bakers. Tim Hortons is a Canadian staple and sure as hell wasn't built off the back of foreign immigrants ?

Kind of weird, a few months ago, we where receiving migrants from USA at illegal passages point by the thousand everyday. So the tide as reversed? A Canadian citizen

Effective 11:30 PM EST on February 29, 2024, Mexican nationals will no longer be able to benefit from visa-free travel to Canada. All Mexican nationals will now require a temporary resident visa (“visa”), unless they meet the eligibility criteria for an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA). (For prior coverage, see GMS Flash Alert 2024-117, June 8, 2023.) Specifically, only individuals that have held a Canadian visa in the last 10 years, or hold a valid US non-immigrant visa, and are travelling to Canada by air will qualify for an eTA.

Just remember that the Canadian population of the whole country is less than the population in the State of California. We are also spread out over a land mass that is bigger than the whole of the United States. We don't really have the vast amount of people needed to completely control the longest boarder in the world. So while the government needs to up their involvement in this situation, patrolling this boarder is impossible.

Close canadian border

As a Canadian, I can't believe I'm saying this, but I am happy our country sucks so bad that they're finally leaving for America.

cash Jordan is lying again i'm canadian and Canada is not letting Migrants in our own country without proper documentation and visas and they have to show that they have relatives or reservations. CASH IS LYING

As a Canadian i can confirm, we have shitty epic long winters.

Cash! Canadian winters are no different than the northern US states.

We didnt send them. Our corrupt canadian government did this. Not us Canadians people.

I am Canadian. Follow the money. Our Liberal Government is aware of the situation. They also have a 'catch and release program' when it comes to law breakers. They are ignoring the crisis, frustrating the U.S, it's citizens and ours as well. The (literally titled) Liberal Government and the NDP coalition have stuck to THEIR agenda regardless of the outrage of Canadian citizens for the last 8 years. It's shameful and reckless.

I am a Canadian citizen , can I come over to NY and get a free hotel room ?
