Very good summary. I will add that our I know you wanted to be concise and you nailed it. For anyone who is curious about how our politics make everything worse for us federally, let me explain it in a short time.\n\nTrudeau as of the day of this video, March 3, 2025, is STILL the PM. He said he WOULD resign once a new leader was picked through a democratic process. Right now, he's basically just doing photo ops in Ukraine, UK and anywhere else on our dime because Parliament is prorogued and the party in power, Liberal, is having a leadership race. So, while he may resign within the week once that leadership race is done, he's still technically in charge.\n\nWhat makes that race and the PM's prorogation so bad is that we're in the middle of a crisis - several actually - caused in part directly by Trudeau and his Liberals (and the NDP supporting them). The latest would be Trump's tariffs starting today, March 4, 2025. Trudeau always disappears during a crisis, leaving us to fend for ourselves - (1) COVID, he was at the cottage using every excuse not to be accountable for anything or using unconstitutional powers to crush a protest he didn't know how to handle, (2) Chinese spies, he's ignoring our intelligence service, (3) federal worker strike, he's in NYC at some gala.... I could go on but there's a reason we're hurting so bad.\n\nWe have zero federal leadership, and a federal government that makes things worse for us with things like: over-regulation, subsidizing media to keep us misinformed, nerfing select natural resource sectors but favoring others (oil and gas suffer, while coal is fine... probably because we sell it to China, but I digress), letting criminal out of jail, uncontrolled immigration, passing policies like the FHSA that drive home prices higher and higher, and of course, more and more taxes. I could go on about the billions in taxpayers' money the government blows - it's like a black hole - or the fact that MPs keep getting raises - April 1 is their fifth since COVID - and most federal and government employees are all getting raises at a time when the rest of us are learning to get by with less and less because we're taxed so much and housing, groceries, etc. are so unaffordable.\n\nI have applied for US citizenship. I want to stick around to fix Canada, but I think it's too far gone. We have too many socialists/communists in power and they're not getting voted out any time soon. It's been fun Canada, it's been fun.

Did it ever occur to Canadians that if governments could create wealth there would never be recessions?

A thought experiment:\nImagine that the Canadian government was given a magic technology that could build five million new homes overnight and assign them by lottery to people who didn't currently own a home.\nWould the government push the button to build the homes and give them to people who needed a home?\nNope. It would not.\nWhy?\nBecause the price of existing houses and apartments in Canada would drop by at least 50% overnight. And in our new, insane, everything-is-financialized, asset-prices-are-the-most-important-thing world, that would be deemed unacceptable.\nJust chew on that for a moment: we have a society, an economy, a governing and property owning class, that would prefer to forego the incredible quality of life increases for the population of magicking 5 million homes into existence, than to lose the valuations of a resource that is so scarce that demand grossly outstrips supply.\nWe live in a world of utter madness.

43% of GenZ want to become the 51st state. A significantly higher figure want to move to the US.\nLets be clear here, the loyalty is only to the Canadian people right now. There is absolutely ZERO loyalty over this colonial puppet state that only became a thing in the 1980's, and has utterly failed its population for the past DECADE.\nThey (quite litterally I may add) would rather see us OD on the streets than have a 3% reduction in housing. \nEvery 25 year old I know, are living with their parents despite having 6 figure jobs.\n\nWe Canadians beat our chest and act hard when the US says this, but we turn a blind eye to Chinese/Indian/Iranian foreign influence and extrajudicial killings. The fact our own people are threatened and killed by foreign governments is insane. But the DOUBLE STANDARD we have in being everybodys doormat while rejecting integration with the US, is insane. \n\nWe litterally have avoided MULTIPLE recessions because the US has bailed us out time and time again. notably in 2021. Were in the G7 only because of the US.\nOur GDP also litterally collapsed in 2015, and were only drudging on by because the US helped us along. They dont want to do that anymore.\n\nCanada is dead, and our economy is dead. I have no loyalty to a government that wants me either dead or a slave to make money for BOOMERS. \nI would be a BOOTLICKER if I was to support the Canadian government.

If my country doesn't get housing costs under control they're in serious trouble. The average house in the town I live in is something like 900K and there's basically no local economy. With costs so high I can't afford to start a family. If we keep gaining old folks needing healthcare while keeping housing expenses high and wages low taxes will have to keep going up.\n\nI am not going to continue to pay huge portions of my income for the benefit of the elderly while I can't afford a decent lifestyle. I don't want to but it seems moving to the US or elsewhere is the only option if things continue this way. At list point the local governments are so invested in denying housing permits and abusing zoning laws to prevent housing being built that the only way to fix it would be to strip the provinces and cities of the right to decide their own zoning bylaws. \n\nI want to see a change in the constitution that makes zoning bylaws illegal. There are too many people thinking of their self interest and not of the Nations interest. We deserve to lose the right to decide what can be built in our neighborhoods. We have been abusing this right for too long

I grew up on Vancouver Island and the local government didn’t allow for secondary suites. Then with housing crisis continuing the fact that province had to step in with a carrot and stick approach to municipal governments to approve more housing and change regulations stick being if you don’t meet targets you lose power and carrot you hit the targets you get cash this created a direct opportunity cost of nimbyism plus the federal government would top the amounts if a municipal government hit there housing targets. It changed really quickly the municipal government changed the law to allowing secondary suites to be built which the cost per square foot to build is 1/3 compared to new builds. This allows more rental properties and housing options and allows more people to purchase goods and services in the local area and not dramatically increasing the costs of new infrastructure to service them as compared to a new housing development on the outskirts of the city. A home could comfortably double it’s density every effectively, affordably and swiftly.

If Canada didn't have such a terrible government with no accountability. The country would be so much better

Canada has many problems and disadvantages which will need to be determinedly addressed in the coming years. However, we have one key advantage over our friends to the south, and one I hope that over time this will increasingly bear fruit: we are not governed by a fascist-adjacent government. Our only political party with policies resembling the American Republicans is polling in the low single digits.\n\nSetting aside the question of whether American Republicans are 'fascist-adjacent', the truth is that much of the world perceives it as such. Our economy is so tied to the US that I would not wish them ill, or at least not very much. However, I think in the competition for talent American politics will be like a 'mark of Cane' on that country for a generation. My guess is that our - in comparison - boring politics will be a key advantage in the years to come.

I feel like the policy makers and economists advising governments like pwc are responsible for this and knew this would happen and sought to profit in the boom.

Most illegal migrants spend thousands of dollars to commit the crime (entering any sovereign country illegally is simply an invasion). If they dare to enter China or any of the Arab countries this way, then who knows, they would be in heaven or hell rather than back home. All the deportees should be arrested on reaching back home for invading a foreign sovereign country and tarnishing the images of hundreds of millions of citizens of their countries who enter the USA or any other developed democratic country to study at the best of the universities, and after completion of the courses, they are not only provided the best of the jobs but also citizenship or other legal status to stay put in the countries. But these people reach their desired destination after going through rigorous educational and other processes and after a thorough background check. But in the matter of illegal immigrants, how are the victimized countries supposed to know their backgrounds? How can one be sure if they are not hardcore criminals, terrorists, spies, or even trained soldiers of enemy countries? In such uncertainty, how can the invaded countries be sure that an incident or incidents of such a large magnitude might not take place that, in comparison, the incident of 9/11 would look like the small incident of bursting firecrackers?But on one election promise, the president is, unfortunately, taking a complete U-turn that those students who do the master's and other higher studies should be retained and provided legal status to stay in the country as their contributions are needed to give the country the perpetual cutting edge in the highly competitive world and keep the country's status as number one. These scholars are feeling cheated that by spending huge amounts of money and contributing to the research and development during the studies, they have not only been taken for a ride but also become the main target of the deportation campaign as their status is available with the government. On the other hand, millions of undocumented workers are comparatively safe, as tracing and deporting them is not an easily achievable task. Besides, millions of foreign citizens are given entry into the country on flimsy grounds, and many of them do not even ever go to elementary school. I think even God would not be able to make out what the fuck this country has become on this issue. Almost the same is the situation with most of the EU countries, the UK, Australia, and Canada.

What an absolute mess. I cannot believe any government would allow this to happen. Trump is making the situation worse.

This is because the quiff in charge up here doesn't require Mexicans to have a visa. We up here are waiting to get rid of this spineless twerp. There are countless areas where it is unattended; some being almost unattainable to reach ,but there are also countless places unattended that are not so hard to reach. We up here are mostly uninformed about these numbers and if most of us knew? would have put pressure on our government. These numbers are quite alarming and if published on a national level? Canadians would be very concerned AND would understand what President Don was explaining to justify the tariffs.\nGOD BLESS AMERICA

I don't believe in poaching young talent from other countries. Countries should spend more on giving all it's young a chance to get a education in their own country not just the rich or government workers.Yes I would like to see a youth work exchange program so we get use to each other and trade fairly. Canada should not be taking education dollars from India or brain draining talent that can build up it's own country.

Do not feel sorry for Canada. I am Canadian. Canadians voted for the Liberal Socialist Government they have 3 times. The youth wanted marijuana legalized. The union governments wanted to tax the corporation to be the highest of the G-7, tax their citizens, attack investors, to fund their rediculous social programs, paid sick days, stat holidays, benefits, pension plans etc .....and now no one in their right mind would open a business or invest in Canada..... No, Canadians are getting what they voted for and deserve....Good Luck to them, I have found a new and friendly country to do business and invest in. Oh, and it has beautiful weather all year round. You could not pay me enough to invest in Canada again:)

Who the fuck would agree to this?? Like why would we want these murderers and criminals to not only come into our country, but ALSO be rewarded by the government? It makes no logical sense at ALL?!??

If they would put this much organized effort into storming our border then they can storm there capital and forcefully push out their corrupt government. They need to channel that energy into saving their own country

I say the USA should sell out State by State to Global Police operated by the UN Councils. Then people could come to the USA and go home under a Joint Task Force Flag and still be a democracy while capitalizing on the Global Merger and spend the US Defense Budget on monitoring the Morality of the Government that invested in the State Ownership. It would be the USA and the State would be International. Also, immigrants coming here now are part of an Orthodox Holy War and will run out of people soon because they are focused on living out their Last Days...high ?

CANADA NEEDS TO SMARTIN UP AND GET THEIR BORDER UNDER CONTROL. THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT LOVES THAT THERE IS ZERO BORDER CONTROL. \nOR..\nBE ANNEXED. MOST CANADIANS WOULD LOVE TO BE A US CITIZEN!!

That wasnt a BlackHawk in the news article, that was a troop transport Heli, why would any government deploy Hawks to monitor the border, msm being stupid again.... ?

Cash, I just pray for you, and your little family! I don’t see how you continue to live in that city! I would lose my mind there. It’s just awful how the government of NY treats their ppl! Please, stay safe!

All crime committed by illegals should be deemed federal crimes so the government would have immediate access to them and the ability to house them in form, El Salvador or any other place the government desires and immediate deportations from the prisons. That would make sanctuary cities and states unable to protect illegals and or hide them.

Adams stance is this: He wishes for the law to be enforced, because he knows the damage it has caused to the city of NY, which he was elected represent, and the citizens whom he has the charge and duty of safety and maintenance. But he's been ham-strung because of the leftarded Governor, Hochul. He wants to follow the desire of his constituency, but cannot because the Sanctuary City Status is out of his control, because of Hochul. Tom Homan stance is this: If that's truly the crux of the situation, then you will do everything within your power to assist the Federal Government Law Enforcement Efforts. To hinder any effort would be seen as a criminal act, and he would be the first to feel the axe. Hochul is next. So, yeah...whether he's cooperating because he truly wants Law and Order, or to save his own arse. I care not, either way, so long as the job is done.

It would be interesting if the government just said. No problem if you want to come here. We need people with skills and jobs to go to like all countries. However will give you nothing. You have to earn it. So, bring your own sleeping bag.

would love to see how many Americans are going through both borders illegally. why does Canada and mexico have to be in charge why is America not putting agents on the border to PROTECT there country canada and Mexico shouldn't be responsible for your government being irresponsible

Idiot Trudeau started all this in 2015 with his Canada welcomes you no matter what speech, then Biden followed suit 4 yrs later. Those 2 should be in jail along w all liberal politicians ruining our countries, at least Trump did something, we don't even have a government the last 2 months since Trudeau shut it down and lying saying he would resign.

I wish our government would get their shiet together. So embarrassing! ?

Im Canadian and while the tariffs are gonna suck, I completely understand why Trump is doing it. Our government is an absolute clown show and what's worse is now the politicians and corporate media here have spun this whole thing as Trumps fault and alot of Canadians are falling for it buying into this whole US vs Canada BS. Like this all coulda been avoided if our politicians would've actually fixed the border YEARS ago, instead of legalizing heroin, making a gender neutral national anthem and making it illegal to misgender someone. \n \nHonestly I'm so embarrassed to be Canadian these days that being the 51st state is pretty appealing. I support gun rights, low taxes, deporting illegals, love proper BBQ and work for a paycheck. So if anyone in a red state is hiring, I'm happy to relocate..

What a bunch of c#*p. No one from Canada would cross over illegally, not even legally right now and certainly not in that number!. Your government is lying to you (AGAIN!!!). IF anything, what you see here is Americans trying to get into Canada. IF you people believe this then I have some swamp land to sell you or how about helping out a Nigerian Prince?

I want to seek asylum in one of their countries and get some free government cheese...... I'm sure if I tried that they would put me in prison.... We don't want any more media matters or open society BS

Don't forget Hochul is welcoming, encouraging illegal migrants to come to NY. She is a true leftist and doesn't care what U.S. citizens think or want. The federal government is not going to send her money to take care of migrants, and she doesn't care. You would have to make restitution to the IRS if you quit paying your taxes. Politicians should be held accountable for how they spend our taxes.

THIS is why Trump is imposing tariffs on Canada. They don’t do ? about illegals crossing from their country to the US . Canada needs to be taught a lesson. NYC needs to have ALL GOVERNMENT funding cut. Make NYC SUFFER BIG . NYC politicians are not just corrupt but they’re evil. You ppl have no idea just how evil and corrupt they are. Democrats/liberals have completely ruined the world, it’s infected their evil everywhere. I wish more ppl would open their eyes to the truth. But they’ve allowed themselves to be brainwashed by liberals lies. It’s sad. Very very sad.

Should we all get together and do one of those White House petition things where we ask that the government come down hard with big fines against companies who insist on employing illegal immigrants like they get fined like 50,000 per illegal, per day, that is discovered at the workplace kind of thing? I bet we would not have to do any deporting after something like that got enacted

I don't understand why any of the citizens of NYC would vote for this governer. Wake up people and remove her from office. Get ride of all those city coucils workers who want to make profit off of your lack of safety. What they are doing is pure evil. Even over here in upstate NY I feel unsafe going to the farmers market. I see a lot of foreign people getting aid to buy there. I don't know who they are or if they are good people. They could be dangerous criminals. Our past President just let everyone in. Pure evil! I want to see this governors funding removed and maybe some jail time. For sure loss of position.

Mayor Adam’s said he would work with the federal government to get criminals out of the communities before the election. Is the real crime dems want him in jail for

As a canadian, our government couldn't care less that we are being hurt by the tariffs . The liberals (democrat equivilant) are even more corrupt than the democrats from u.s.. They would gladly see our country collapse or be sold to the u.s. as long as they get a big cheque out of it.

I stand with the Palestinians, but not with Hamas. Since the Palestinians voted the Hamas to take over their government. I would say it is their responsibility to remove them from their land. Hamas is creating problems for the Palestinians and the whole Middle East. As far as the rebuilding of Gaza, if they do not leave. The problem is that all the surrounding countries will eventually quit sending in humanitarian aid into Gaza.

Regardless of race/culture if your coming from a third world county that has no traffic laws, poor education with little to no English let alone money don't come here asking for hand outs well driving the cost of rent and car insurance up, you'll just end up on a 6ixbuzz post and be mocked. Would highly suggest move back to your country and deal with your government and maybe just maybe consider birth control.

Basically, for the past four years, Biden, Harris and the Democrat Party have spent hundreds of billions of US tax dollars flying illegal immigrants in and basically leaving America’s borders in Mexico and Canada wide open to mass illegal immigration. Then they lied to the American people about the real numbers and how bad the problem really was. In the past few years, the Democrats have spent billions throughout all of our federal agencies via misappropriated US taxpayer funds that were earmarked for American citizens or American infrastructure and development, then used these misappropriated, taxpayer funds to provide housing, food, education, medical care, and in most cases, luxury hotels. Just within the past two weeks FEMA spent over $500 million to provide luxury hotels for illegal immigrants yet a few weeks ago they were still claiming that they didn’t have enough money to help American citizens who suffered catastrophic loss during recent hurricanes and wildfires. The simple fact that Democrats got more upset that Elon Musk bought Twitter than they are, that their own political party in government for the past four years, has literally been holding them at gunpoint and forcing them to pay taxes so that they could steal it or launder it into their own campaigns and pockets is literally disturbing! WTF!!!! If any of those other federal agencies are ran or funded the way U.S. AID were, with the massive corruption, misappropriation, fraud and theft of taxpayer funds, then I hope DODGE goes through an completely audits, every single federal agency in the United States. No wonder the Democrats are freaking out the way they are, if the Republicans got caught this bad with their hand in the taxpayer cookie jar, then you know the Democrats would be screaming a different tune. The Democrats are trying to manipulate taxpayers into believing utter nonsense like their phrase “ no one voted for Elon Musk. “ but in reality no citizen ever votes for the hundreds of the civilian presidential appointed positions to run these federal agencies, every new president pics/appoints to these positions every term. It definitely explains why hard-working tax paying men and women are getting completely ripped off and robbed every time they look at their paycheck and see how extremely and unnecessarily high taxes are now. The Democratic Party has completely destroyed its reputation with the American taxpayer, they got completely exposed for their corrupt, anti-American, extremist, radical,and woke liberal agenda. They were absolutely using tens of millions of US taxpayer funds to finance terrorist organizations like the Taliban and Isis, billions of US taxpayer funds, pushing their racist and sexist woke liberal DEI agenda across the globe, they were absolutely bribing corporate news media to control the narrative and manipulate the American people to influence elections via corporate news media subscription payments to very left, leaning news organizations, such as politico and others, that were clearly and obviously bribes to the media, just one of the NGO of many organizations under U.S. AID paid $75,000 of taxpayer money a year for a Digital subscription to politico’s corporate news outlet , that any one could sign up for $10 a year like any other news outlets digital subscription. The list of fraud, corruption, and very obvious US taxpayer funds theft, just goes on and on and on. I think the worst betrayal of it all is the fact that any US tax paying citizen or to steal one single US tax dollar from the government, we would be publicly arrested, put in handcuffs, charged with a felony, and prosecuted to the absolute max, the law would allow, but these Washington elite politicians are allowed to do this without even a public slap on the wrist is the most disgusting and devious, betrayal, and loss of trust that the American taxpayer has ever known.???????????????????????????????????????????

The main reason why Canada is in the mess it's in is because they got people off the farms. Farming in every country is the easiest way to be self-sufficient and non-reliant on the government. I'm still not sure why anyone would choose living in a freezing cold iceberg half the year when they could live near the beach for a fraction of the cost?

After finding out the government has spent money to own other countries News stations they probably telling these people the free benefits they would receive. And who wouldn't try to come and receive money and housing. The government should be ashamed of themselves putting these people through this. But that's stopping because Elon found out and Trump stopped paying.

What if the U.S. government had dropped them off right where they entered? Would they have made it back safely, facing the same criminal traffickers on their way home? They should be grateful they were deported safely on a military aircraft to their own state. Yet, this channel is trying to paint their deportation as unjust, simply because they sacrificed so much to get to the U.S. But how? Through legal means? If that were the case and they were wrongfully sent back, they’d have a case to fight.\n\nStop fueling unnecessary media hype by glorifying these deportees as if they were returning war heroes. It’s disgusting. Promoting this kind of narrative just for viewership is irresponsible and misleading.

Indian Migrants got a free flight you did not pay for.The Indian Migrants should have been secured to make sure the Few Employees escorting you back to your Country are safe.The U.S. Government Would have been happy for Indian Government send there own planes to pick you up.

Nothing new, especially from CNN(Clinton news network), who really hates President Donald Trump. These Indian illegal aliens are no different from Central and South American illegal aliens who were deported the same ways. These Indian illegal aliens committed crimes when they crossed the US border illegally, and just like anyone that were deported using military planes, these illegal aliens would be transported on shackles and cuffed. It's the standard procedure applied to all, even for American citizens. If the Indian government is upset about the whole thing, then they can send private planes to pick up their uninvited citizens back to their country. Plain and simple!!

So they expected champagne and fancy treats? These were hard core criminals. Criminals are supposed to cuffed. I promise you they’re lying and even if this was true… they were still treated a heck of a lot better than their own government would have treated them

USA government treated illegal Indian immigrants very well. INDIAN government usually kills illegal immigrates on their borders. I would say Indian people need to be thankful ??

Never, never, never would I move there and here are my reasons: safer, we’re not a gun loving society, nicer people, free healthcare, better education, less corruption, better government and we’re more compassionate and accepting of ethnicities, races and sexual orientation. My family almost moved to the US when I was 10 and I was crying my eyes out. We ended up not moving THANK GOD!!!

Can you blame them. The previous administration offered a premium benefits package to any and everyone who wanted it. It was a literal freeforall. Now that a non globalist, non(I'm just going to say it)ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT administration is handling the border of the US, these people are stunned. They are pissed off that the free ride is over. Chances are, President Trump would love nothing more than to do business with the countries sending these people. He would love to make deals that would strengthen their economy, give people a reason to live there. Maybe these leaders should bring something to the table other than droves of their own citizens complaining about how bad the situation has become in their home countries. We've already got enough of those here as it is. Sorry.

Most Americans don't know that the trouble in Venezuela like most other countries south of our border, was more than likely caused by US interference. For decades our government has financed regime changes at the request of American corporations. Us companies take advantage of natural resources and cheap labor to get maximum profits at the expense of the other countries. Anytime politicians tried to look out for the best interest of their country and people, we financed any opposition that would disrupt their government from enacting change. Our tax dollars. Then, when immigrants come up because of poverty and violence, who can blame them? We all would do the same. Decades of under-funding immigration services and courts make it a years long process that most can't afford to wait for. America is a huge country. We have room. They aren't talking your job. And the vast majority are not criminals. But, the wealthy and powerful people need you to be distracted and have a scapegoat for you to blame for everything. Quit idolizing the wealthy. That includes either party.

These people cheat the system. How, do you ask why? They come over here illegally, but don't care about the law. They feel entitled to our money they have never had to work for or contribute to. Their girlfriends and wives have anchor babies. While receiving food stamps (EBT), cash money assistance, free government housing, free healthcare, social security, steal our jobs by under cutting you (cheaper pay), go to school free, free college, perpetuate racism ( if your smart you would know what i mean ?), refusing to learn English while some jobs you can't get if you dont speak Spanish, standoffish (they keep mostly to themselves

Indian government could have handled this by offering plane by their own ??? At least government could ask the American government not to do like this ??? It would not cost much
