Shock and awe....time

WHAT A SHOCKING OUTCOME!!!!!

It’s hard to believe USA treated Canada as a hostile country. Shocking

Ive gone numb when alot of my fellow Americans decided Trump was the correct choice. Im in shock.

Oh wait, you mean the U.S. imposing tariffs on everyone will cause economic issues for the U.S.? I'm so shocked! Who would have thought...besides literally every economist ever...

A lot of Canadians seem to want a trade war. When Americans heard that the truckers had gone to the capital Ottawa they were shocked,...mostly to learn that Ottawa was the capital of Canada. Do Canadians really think that most Americans sit up at night worrying what Castro's son will do?

18th February Europe will get the tariff shock.

That ain’t none. Shocking oh no. you can go ahead and send all them back to. I don’t care what color it is. Send them back. Send them back. Good.

The feeling of entitlement that these immigrants have is shocking.

So legal businesses and legal employees are going to suffer because of another one Trumps decisions. Call me shocked.

Mass deportations having a negative impact on the economy? That's so surprising. Absolutely nobody could have predicted that. I'm truly shocked. I also found out today that it's dangerous to touch the stove when it's hot.

Arresting criminals is making criminals afraid. Shocking.

The gull of all these ALIENS is so shocking. FAFO.

Does CNN know how many genders are there, shocking ?

So, the lunatics are defending the lunatics. Imagine my shock

A shocking lack of diversity...

These people were racist all along I’m so shocked to see more and more people saying how they feel wow ?

A banana republic with a felon and rapist as president bullying sovereign state, shocking.

What a shock. Trump tries to bully other countries into getting his own way. Maybe Colombia gave in but it won't work with other countries. It would have been good for a few people to see how tariffs actually work. Most Americans don't seem to understand how inflation works though, so it is no great surprise.

It sounds like tariffs are being used to fit his pocketbook (Trump's) and not the average consumer who will be paying sticker shock prices for coffee, tea and other foods.

Shock! CNN “experts” late to the party talking about issues that were resolved in 40 mins… Over 2 hours ago…

Those who thought USA first was something the world would accept are going to have a shock when USA inflation goes through the roof.

If you can't pay rent, to me it's straight forward you are not a good person go build your own house, that's when you will understand what it takes to build a house, please this shocks me, some one build a house puts it on rent and you are refusing to pay the rent that's not fair this breaks my heart

This is an INVASION! This means WAR!......as any other country would consider this kind of crap!\nRubber b*llets? Mass pepper spray? Tear gas? Shock b*mbs? \nGET OUT OF MY COUNTRY! You bring NOTHING good to America! A herd of toxic violence. \nTHIS BEHAVIOR PROVES WHY NO COUNTRY WANTS this kind.\nHigh voltage electric fencing 4 feet wide, with water 1 foot below the fence! Problem solved.?

I’m so sorry. I just can’t take some of you white people serious with your comments. Some of them are sooo SHOCKED America is being overran as if their ancestors got this land peacefully. You people are the greatest threat to this planet, which is why all these European countries are crumbling as we speak. Would you like a piece of “Humble Pie” SUGA??????

Liberals didn’t give them money and a house to live in…..shocking

Really? How shocking! I thought ‘bharat’ is the best country in the world and being an Indian is a matter of pride. How can they reject our visa applications? ?

And so ex vice president Kamala should have done her homework. Trump sure knows how to play his cards right because who would have know vice president Vancehad a who,e Indian wife???I was enen shocked and Kamala looked as if she wanted to faint at the anauguration. Meanwhile, Vance wife was skinning and grinning. Those indians is something else.

I think the reporter should do proper research. Human development index(education, job, safety, etc.) and the number of overstaying Indians are the major factors why they tend to reject a lot of applicants from India. If India could provide a better living standard, its people would tend to return and not to overstay abroad. But this is not the case. The number of Indians wanting to migrate abroad manifests otherwise. It seems like there is a scarcity of resources in India. No wonder they are shocked that people abroad give tips for a service.

If white people are so evil and racist, why do you insist on coming to live in our homes?\nindian immigration has destroyed this country, it will never be fixed. These ‘people’ behave like utter animals, destroying nature, poisoning the water, using beaches as bathrooms. They are extremely nepotistic and will only hire other indians and family, it’s next to impossible for young native born Canadians to get even basic level entry jobs if the person hiring is indian. \nindians have abused the goodwill of our citizens and our social assistance programs. For the first time in nearly a hundred years our local food banks had to shutter and turn people away because INDIANS were using it as a free grocery store when they had FULL TIME JOBS and brand new bmws, then they post videos on social media saying ‘how to get free food in canada’, while some poor emaciated bastard gets turned away. What makes it worse, a lot of these Indians, especially in the prairies, already have their groceries subsidized by federal government, and they STILL abuse the food bank. It’s not just food bank either, they all apply for welfare and immediately get assistance even though it takes months to get as a natural born citizen, and that’s even if you get it. I was shocked to find out the federal government was paying indians to move out of Ontario and BC into Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba because the coastal cities infrastructure was about to implode in certain areas. So they they told these people to move inland, and if they do and stay there for 18-24 months, they get $3300 dollars a month every month for that duration. My disability cheque, that I paid into for 40 years of hard work, comes out to 950 dollars a month. This is absurd. These people get literally everything handed to them, and STILL abuse the programs meant for those who are struggling. I have never in my life met such an arrogant and utterly dishonest and disgusting group of peoples in my life. This isn’t just one or two bad apples, this is happening in every city around here. They also get first dibs on any and all medical treatment and specialists. Many local residents who have already been on waiting lists for years to get treatment are getting bumped in order to accommodate the new invaders. It’s basically impossible to find a doctors or dentists office accepting new patients. ER rooms are full constantly of these people coming just for runny noses and coughs, clogging up the already strained healthcare system. The prairies hospitals (at least where I live) were barely holding together before this nonsense. Yet somehow, this is all just white people being racist huh? \nWell I’ll tell you what, I’m not white, my people were on this land long before anyone else can claim to be, and while I’ll admit there’s often still a lot of animosity between natives and whites, youd be quite surprised to see how many of us are in agreement towards the current behaviour of these people.

It always shocks me when these people don’t even know that Mexico is BOT part of Central America, aren’t they supposed to know their facts ?

A month ago, I visited a shop called AMR Fruiterie in Montreal, Canada. I asked an Indian lady about the price of a vegetable, but her response was shockingly rude. Since then, I've started avoiding this store and now prefer shopping at Metro. It’s more expensive, but the experience is worth it.

When any tourist go to Sri Lanka after touring India, he or she realises how chaotic and filthy most Indian cities are. Other than inside metro trains, Indian roads are just filth dumps. Shocking to see the state of cleanliness of tourist attractions like Mthaura, Vrindavan etc etc. On top immigration officials in India seem to think they are doing a favor for the tourists who are coming to spend dollars and know their country!! There's complete sense of apathy and misplaced over confidence! Countries around India, like Sri Lanka, Nepal are way much better in cleanliness and other behavioural aspects !!

You are all blaming everything on people you just don't like. You need to educate yourselves with facts not BS that your side is spitting out. It's ridiculous that you can't have a civil conversation with anybody who doesn't think exactly like you. Just watch what happens this year. You will be shocked I guarantee it. And not for the better unfortunately for all of us. Well, except the 1% right?

Thank you for bringing this topic in discussion. I mean if you check the visa fee only by US you will be shocked thats its almost equto some countries gdp

Saw one video from Germany and I myself was shocked by looking at the behaviour of Indians. People from North India and Andhra especially need to learn and need serious training on these lessons.

It’s because of Recently rampant racism, hatred, xenophobia against Indians & india is on shocking level. That’s the reason behind low tourism and visa rejection.

Those Indians arrived at Canada are those richer and better educated, yet they have caused a major cultural shock. Most Canadians consider them as noisy, filthy and smelly, yet arrogant and unadaptive to their new country. Other minor things like manners and politeness are also being seen as unacceptable to the Canadian society. Furthermore, Indians have no idea why they were being hated by native Canadians,how pathetic.

I thought India became a Superpower after 2014? Still our citizens are ready to become illegal aliens in the western world. That's shocking ?

Entitlement is shocking. Dont play the government into extending. GO BACK once education is over.

Really I'm Sorry about your situations as it seems a lot of peoples whom like you. I Believe when the beautiful hidden arrangements of destiny which is always surprising the clean people like you. That is why ? US President Mr. Trump has rise the right decision at right the time to involving Canada under the USA authority as new American State for rehabilitation the miserable situations available at the Canadian Nation which shocking me personally. As long as I'm was always dreaming to continue my higher educations at Canadine Academies due to the positive feedback of the educational system at Canada ? considered as one of the best in World. But It doesn't reflect to the Canadian nation as it should be. Once More sorry again and I hope US government expediting something to emerging Canada under it's Wings as this step should be done since old time back ago.

I lived in the Florida Keys and loved it but the bumper stickers that said Yankees go home made me wonder how they felt about Canadians. I was injured at work and was taken to the hospital were work paid the hospital bill but when the nurse said go to the drugstore and buy a bandage they will be cheaper then if I put one on you. That was a rude awaking as to where I was.\nThe next was I was living with a nurse and at the hospital they brought in a person that had no ID on him. He had been in a terrible car accident but with no ID they would not treat him ,so he died. Turned out he was a Doctor from Key West driving to Miami . The hospital staff were in shock they had let one of their own die. In Canada they would operate first and worry about money or insurance later.

I hope to god you are not moving to the UK lol...... you are in for a SHOCK if you are haha!

CANINDIA YAAAAAAYYYY.. IF NOT CANADA IS GONE.. 1.1 BIRTHRATE.. A DAY WILL COME WHEN CANADA WILL GO EMPTY..??.. make babies.. we need Canadian women to become baby factories.. ??.. Also.. Canadians are now shocked with what enforcement directorate published.. This was known all along.. shows how aloof and indifferent and dis connected Canadian society is.. yeehaa . Now every one talks ??

wow shocking\n ?

I was in the emergancy room waiting room one time, an american was visiting and his wife had a heart attack she was operated on inside of a day and the husband was trying to pay his bill and he was shocked that his bill was only 2500 dollars and he kept asking if he was going to get a bill in the mail, he would not! But he kept saying that this happened in his hometown and it cost him 60,000 Dollars oh by the way he had not even thought about the money conversion so his bill was 2500 canadian not american.

Cultural shock, some people not easily integrating, I get it.\n\nI have friends and have plans to travel soon. I'm working on my Hindi, but it's nowhere near where I want it, I can't hold a full conversation either.\n\nJust getting a tourist visa or e-visa is becoming more difficult, I hope that things become easier.

So technically all pilgrims and the people that came here from Europe are illegal as well what a shock

I'm shocked.... how is visiting another country a right for a citizen from another?

So Shocking!!! why these bunch of extremists and separatists with a known history of violence feel entitled to get visa from a country they want to tear apart????? These liars claim to feel threatened in Canada from so called “agents” of Indian Govt and they want to visit India??? And their families are also safe in India??? What a bunch of unethical thugs and Canadian media becoming their mouthpiece!! Shame.
