I can’t find the proper words to describe how I’m feeling about the life in Canada! I feel extremely disappointed and angry. EVERYTHING has changed since the early 80s unrecognizably, even the service and how different people treat or mistreat each other!! There is no more courtesy, politeness and human respect in hospitals, government offices, banks, etc. \nThe elected government officials are mostly corrupt, unfit for their duties and pursue only a personal agendas in promotion to a higher level! \nRight now, as of January 2025 we are again expecting endless flows of refugees from Gaza along to anticipated tax increases imposed by Trump. \nI have no more words! I feel that this country becoming a dump with an unbearable quality of life. I am feeling mostly depressed and feel no joy due to current conditions and limited opportunities here. I simple cannot even stand it any more and can’t wait when I would be able to find a new place of my residence outside of Canada!

As far as healthcare goes the US is a 3rd world country, where, only the rich can afford to see a doctor, or visit a hospital. You have thousands of people living on the streets, with NO help, or concern. America is no different than Bangladesh, or Ethiopia, for having a part of your society living on the street, begging for food, or money. When the US starts caring for ALL of it's people, regardless of skin color, race, or background, and give them a hand up, like most CIVILIZED societies do, you'll always be a 3rd world country. America had a chance to elect a president that would have turned America into a first world power with Kamala Harris, and Tim Waiz, but, you blew it, you re-elected the worst president, EVER with trump, who will finish the job of ruining America, and make it totally poverty-stricken. WOW, you'd think Americans are all millionaires, the way they turned out, for trump! Did NONE of you listen to what Kamala was offering? Because this half blind, mostly deaf old Canadian heard every word, her promise of a bottom-up building more opportunities for poor, and working class families, new taxes on the rich, and corporations to pay for it. Kamala offered a GREAT deal, a more secure future, more OPPORTUNITIES,,,,, And you all turned her down. You voted for a stalker and rapist, a traitor, and criminal, with multiple convictions, a liar, and cheat, trump. I guess you get what you deserve.

The level of entitlement of these people is only comparable to the entitlement of the domestic terrorists who illegally entered the Capitol building on January 6, 2021 and defaced it; smeared feces on its walls, brutally attacked policemen; and tried to stop the peaceful transfer of power while looking to kill elected representatives. \nIt’s is claimed that many Latin countries empty their prisons to send those people onto our streets, which is exactly what Trump did when he pardoned the January 6 terrorists!!!!

As much as I dislike dump as he is a walking talking lying machine, using this lying machine against people outside of US is very advantage. Dump is a true bully and he certaining knows how to bully other countries to do what he wants.\nUnlike the democrats who are soooo freaking soft it's not even funny. The democrats should NOT have accepted that results of the 2025 election, they should have claimed election fraud and then started a riot too. Why do the democrats need to be soooo nice to dump when dump gave them the middle finger??

I think Indian govt's stance is best in this case.\n'Give us a list of our people you want to deport, give us proofs why you think they are illegals, and we will arrange for the planes ourselves, no questions asked. You won't even have to bother about transporting them, just bring them to the air port, we will fly them back.'.\n\n\nAnyways Indian govt had been warning Canada about this migration for past 8 years. Literally imploring them to not take these guys in. They aren't running away from persecution, they are running away from prosecution. But sadly Canada became a safe haven for criminals in India to run and hide into. Now don't blame India or Indians for it. We warned you, we had a spat with you. You lectured us how free and democratic you are and how your doors are open to all. NOW SUFFER.\n\nFor the Americans.....i don't feel a thing. They are mostly racists bunch (liberals more than conservatives, but yeah 99 percent of them are pure vile racists). I enjoy watching their country undergoing a very slow implosion right Infront of our very eyes. Trump is a good and capable leader. But what can he really do? His main voter base (which actually did not matter in the elections, it was the minority votes which tilted the scales) is simply uneducated, uninformed, racists. I don't know if they are inherently racist or that racism is born out of ignorance to begin with. But it is what it is. And the othtrr side is loony. ?. You have hate filled racists on one side and crazies on another. That country is destined to be doomed. I hardly find any centrist sane individual who can actually get over the superficial racial or identity stuff and actually talk policies in depth. Both sides are like... For us or against us. What can Trump even do with such population base. They have to import people to keep their quality on top... Else they are done for within next 200 - 250 years.

I’ve been waiting for my husbands marriage visa for 14 months freezing the legal visa processes for Colombians who are married to a U.S. disabled veteran citizen born and raised in the Midwest is wrong. I pray the President restarts processing legal visas for this married to U.S. citizens \nI am not able to walk well and my only caregiver is my husband so I’m stuck in colombia until my husbands visa is approved. Most people here hate President Petro he has ruined the country and now he is ruining it more we can’t speak out against him but my husband and his family do not support the President of colombia and a ton don’t believe he actually won the election. Colombia has always been a close ally I hope the CIA and Delta Force can fix things in Colombia returning to Uribe and strong U.S. allies. Other countries aren’t U.S. friend but Colombians love the U.S. and please don’t punish the people for the actions of a terrible president who ruined the economy here and is only got 1 year left in office maybe the U.S. intel system and military can “handle” the problem of a president who doesn’t have the support of the people. All my neighbors love Trump.

im dumbfounded at the dumbness of the majority of american people who elected this idiot

Weren’t the people of Columbia rioting crying because of petro ? A rigged corruption election .. he speaks as he was actually elected by his people then he tweets back to Trump about freedom in Colombia … I thought they came to the USA and were seeking asylum can’t even make this up .. CNN is so lost .. u think the world is that dumb

CNN guest is misleading viewers as cnn usually does . 271k are not removed or deported . It true this number is for people who try to come in from boarder last year after Biden executive order which he issued because election was approaching and he tried to look good on the matter .

Dear GOD, through the power of your only begotten SON JESUS and the Virgin Mary, please lift the DELUSION from these people of good will (2 Thessalonians 2-man of lawlessness) and let them wake up to the fact that Trump is not the man they think he is! He is against all that is TRUE and HOLY and will lead this great country to destruction. He is a son of Satan (father of all lies). He claims he is the CHOSEN ONE, but he behaves in the opposite manner of what JESUS would do (anti-Christ). He loves only himself! He claims to love the Holy Bible yet cannot recite one verse of scripture! Jesus warned us of the false prophets, and messiahs that would come after HIM deceiving even the elect of GOD! Trump is one such FALSE MESSIAH. Satan (ruler of THIS world) has given his son immense power to deceive men's minds, and GOD is allowing us to be punished for the sin of ELECTIVE abortion We need to REPENT, PRAY and RENEW our trust in JESUS CHRIST and his Mother Mary and follow them, carrying our cross on the road that will lead us back to the FATHER! AMEN - JOHN 3:16!

I didnt ask MAGA this question going to the 2024 election because I know they have a FINAL Solution in mind. But I asked reasonable and smart people, Uh - how is he going to deport 15 million Immigrants? Where are they going to go? He is already going to a Nazi-like Interment Camps. Dont be surprised it he and Elon take the next step.

This Sunday that just passed ? Did they not hear about the most recent election results ? I have not ever in my life seen the chickens run towards the Colonel. Omg, these people are d*:b.

Those who are opposing this would rather suffer crimes from these illegal criminals than let Trump do what he needs to do. This would not have happened if the president they elected did not have an open border policy. The people who voted for Biden can also be blamed for this.

Biden gave all these people jobs by what he did, just think if trump didn’t get elected what would they do?

You people elected him, or did you?

One way or the other, we’re all going to pay for electing MAGA. How many people will starve when other countries join Columbia? In the mean time, we’re paying to house these “undocumented” migrants.

This situation alone is how Donald Trump was able to carry most of the American people's votes in the Presidential election. Americans are sick of this now!!!! Not just on the Southern border...even folks in Chicago have had enough!

What Trump says he gets done and you know what people voted for him he got elected

Canada allowed so many students to come, charging $40-50k on average, and kept bringing in more. Now they're claiming that the number of students and their dependents is the problem? IRCC marketed the pathway to PR after studies like cheese on a mousetrap. And now, with elections approaching, they've started the blame game. It's utterly idiotic. In this advanced world, do you really think the government didn’t realize how many people were immigrating here?

These people don't understand that President Trump don't play around. He will literally bring tanks and the Army down there. And these people are going to have to turn around and go back whether they want to or not, but what's going to happen is they're going to assault police officers they're going to assault army people and they're going to get shot and then you're going to have the media. Covering it like it's the Army's fault that they had to defend themselves. The media should be ashamed of themselves. The Democrats should be ashamed of themselves, telling these people they can come here and live for free when the Americans have already spoken and said they cannot. These government officials forget they work for us. We do not work for them, but they seem to think that they control everything. This is where we the American people need to take our country back. We have to stop letting democrats think that they can control everything that happens because if they keep thinking that they are untouchable, or that they can keep controlling everything. What do you think going to happen to this country? We are already in the worst times we have ever been in in the USA period but the Democrats just keep going and going and going by giving these people free handouts and then expecting us not to say no, we can't handle them more of them. They are trying to overrun us, because what's going to happen is they're going to keep trying to let them come in, they are doing this for a vote. Do you not understand that the Democrats lost an election in a landslot? They figured if they can allow 40 or 50 million more to come in that they can stay in power for the rest of their time on this Earth until Jesus returned. That's what their plan is Their plans not to help Americans. They're planning to keep these people coming in, giving them free handouts, because they need votes, why don't people understand what's going on? If you bring in a 100 million for the illegal immigrants, they will vote single-handedly every time for Democrats, which will keep them in power, which will keep us homeless, which will keep American citizens begging for food, but they will still be giving these people free handouts from the American taxpayer. Now, what's going to happen is if these people actually get jobs instead of under-the-table where they have to pay taxes, they will quit working. They will quit working. Then the american taxpayer will be without a job.Then the immigrants won't work, and then you'll have a society where nobody's working doing nothing because the governments took all their money

President Trump is doing what we the people elected him to do, stand up to your own governments .

This is India Govt problem. Modi president made His 2 friends rich Ambani and Adani, those peiniaed to sace his position ti be a Prine minister suckinh poor people blood like note bandit and snatching middle class people jobs pkus winning election distributing funds among poor people those are poor due to Modi Govt. India need Prine minister like Rahul Gandhi who did loss of work walk around all states to awaken people those were sleeping. Due to big Population and corruption of Govt no one can get ahrad except Gujaratis and Dourh Indian plus Panjabis due to their support system.\n\nNew election.\nPopulation control \nAwaking people \nUnity among all religions.\nNo Hindu or Muslims and thise fights due to political pressures they should be jails for 5 yrs prison.\n\nModi ji is uneducated plus his history in 2002 everyone knows. Gujarstis are very powerful in USA since arrivrd 40 plus yrs back tgen brought illegals to hrlp them build their life. In the Patel community, there is unity just like the Pakistani community. Die to that thry can achieve any goal. Other states induans should learn lessons.\nPlus, the USA Govt should have a quota according to India population. Since USA Govt focus is Africa and Afghan and so on, tgere sgoukd be quota according to States how much they can take in under Asylums since there are many murders and crime in India and USA plus Canada can help them. India Govt should build good relationships with USA Govtvwhich is a must.

As an Indian Immigrant who left recently, here are few tips for Canadians:\n\n1. Not every brown person is Indian, I knew people from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka identifying themselves as Indians.\n\n2. Its not entire India but two major states, Punjab and Gujarat, with majority of aggressive actions coming from IMMIGRANTS from Punjab and not native Punjabis who are born and brought up here.\n\n3. Immigrants can’t vote, so majorly its not your fault and so is not immigrants fault but the Government that the CITIZENS elected brought immigrants for boosting their dead economy.\n\n4. Controversial but I will say it, Canada is a FRENCH country with English as its second major language. No others language is as prominent, So if you are sure that a brown person is an IMMIGRANT and they can’t even speak ENGLISH properly let alone French, 99% chance he/she is a problem in your country and does labour work.

But Trump was elected by the US people!

They brought this hardship on themselves not President Trump, it has never in human history been cruel to send people home. They have nothing to offer America, those corporations who have a voracious appetite for cheap labor have fueled this migration by lobbyist working with Dems and Republicans to replace American workers with cheap unskilled labor from around the world while putting the.cost of feeding, sheltering, educating and medical treatment for this cheap labor on us the ones who have been put out of work by the cheap labor imported by elected leaders.

You talk as if non-American citizens have a right to enter the U.S. They don't. Neither legal, nor moral. the US people have elected a leader who promised to close the border. And that is what he should do.

Now isnt Joe Biden and Kamala Harris such compassionate people they just care for all of them and every citizen of the US especially if it keeps them in power.I think its kinda telling that the only states that went to Mrs.Harris were states without voter I D laws . Because its very racist to ask every voter to be a citizen, I would think no dems will be elected to anything in the near future maybe dog catcher.

The problem with the way things have become here is that now people that have immigrated legally to Canada and are citizens are now becoming targets of hate and violence. I agree that once the visa is expired people need to go and honor what they signed for. We are also punishing those people who have done nothing wrong. This is really scary to see in our country. Hold government accountable for what they have done and ourselves accountable for who we elect and how we treat other human beings. We are all humans no matter skin color or where we are born so be kind to each other. Yes they need to follow the rules we have but we also need not be hate filled and violent, that is not what a Canadian is.

Cos they are supposed to...look its not a surprise. If we can elect uneducated people to the parliament...this is nothing in conparison.

Its because indian people elected modi government and bcoz india is elected autocracy there is no respect of democracy by our governmwnt they suppress dissidents,and they collect huge tax from indians not providing best healthcare to each and evwry indian

Hell no! It’s a fun place to visit, I love Florida California. I’m looking forward to going to the Carolinas, but I would never move there permanently. As a woman in Canada with children, what I do with my uterus is nobody’s business. I like my option of 18 month parental leave. I like my option not to do overtime and not have affect my job. I like my vacation and I like my sick leave. We have a safety net up here for mother‘s allowance child tax credit unemployment insurance. It is a safety net for hand up, not a handout .You guys like to pick your presidents and what your comedians will make for a living for the next 4 to 8 years. Up here we pick our Prime Minister‘s based on what they do up until they are seeking election and vote accordingly. We’re not allowed to carry weapons and use them for protection up here we look out for each other. I would prefer my children to live in a multicultural society where they are just used to other traditions and culture and Orientationchoices. That is not based on the colour of your skin. I like to have a conversation about a political opponent without it getting dangerous you’re allowed to have an opinion up here and that’s how we view it, but quite frankly after half an hour 15 minutes we we get bored of political views and just walk away from you.There’s no such a thing as you don’t want to live in that area and you have to be careful about where your kid goes to school. What does that do to the people that you’ve left behind? How does that make that better for them? I had a friend that worked down in the United States and every time I talk to her, she always uttered. I have to be aware of my white privilege. What the hell is that and I have never seen anything in your news down there about your native society we try to acknowledge and integrate them quite frankly, you guys are just worried about yourselves and not about anybody else

Yes I was, after Trump got elected no. Disabled human rights are horrible here and as compensation for lawsuits can be capped in cases that is unlikely to change. I should state the government had to pay me $25,000 dollars for violating my rights (this cost me $35,000+ in legal fees!) so I know of what I speak. It was the same when I moved provinces. In terms of mobility my fate was better in the 4 third world countries I visited after my stroke, there are no busses in loads of places here as we can’t “afford” them. Also I should state the government tried to make me site an NDA that would not allow me to state their behaviour, this should be illegal where government money is concerned! On to health care…. Why do disabled people struggle to get a family doctor when they move provinces? Also why did the mother of a Ukrainian disabled kid have to go back to a country that had been invaded to get help for her child that was having convulsions? She got no help here and her child was in our system by then and her husband has been paying taxes since I got him a job here 3 day a after landing. Yes there are a lot of good Canadians but this situation has become much worse and Canadians are masters at ignoring things. There is a Ukrainian flag flying from my cabin not a Canadian one. We are NOT the 51st state and will never be but I’ve been made to feel betrayed

Canada is very welcoming country, but if you guys bring all of your bad attitude, you are not welcome here. By the way I am immigrant Canadian. I have seen many Indians in Canadian recently and many of them are very disappointing. I also met some very good Indian too. Only Indians can change Indians. It is not only human behavior. Why is other country people are not hated? Why are too many Indians appear within short amount of years? Why is corruption and crimes come from Indians more than any other immigrants? Are you dare to find out those answer? Why is Indian government try to mess with our democratic election? Canada welcome good people who want to be successful as individual, not as to become dominant culture over us and threatening our way of life.

Treasonous trudeau\nYou dont steal an election, and give money and weapons to Ukraine, Destroy our own military and destroy our own food supply, disessemble your border and encourage an invasion of your own country, and it not be a treasonous act against your own country and its people ...\n \nJAIL IS COMING

Look T the policy's Biden is pushing after they lost is crazy giving away money to his friends non profits trying selling the border wall putting a green energy policy in place that they are trying to Trump proof if you lose the election u shouldn't be allowed to do anything like that this country is broken and needs major reform. The democrats are literally like idc what the people want screw them wow what a kick in the face. They've been screwing the public for decades when's the last time are government wasn't against the poor and middle class just look at the stock market manipulation they change rules on the day to hurt people and change orders and halt stocks but allow backedup orders look at what they pulled with gamestop i cant believe the crsp I've seen these past years since cv19 and before that its blatant theft we can do anything at anytime for any reason that's communist worse actually cause at least the communist admit they are corrupt the lying crap is way worse no its not rigged no we ain't stealing well why did u rig it then and steal from people then why can't any politician explain why they are making 20 x there salary a year why don't they have to show where they got it from why does the irs not care why is the fbi stealing treasure finds from people and lying about it after they get caught why is it are whole country has turned to such garbage now dam straight we don't trust a bunch of lying crocks that literally get away with everything when we can't even get a a single thing its just so much its unreal I can go on and on while I'm talking im positive another politician just stole another 1 million dollars like its picking up a dollar off the ground

Are you kidding me. Are you not in Canada right now. Canada is now the most poor country in the World. Immigration has gone to the roof. No housing. Rents and forget about buying a house in BC, AB, Quebec, Ontario. High unemployment, Inflation is high and going up more. We also do not have a military defense system and the U.S. is tired of Canada not spending money to meet their responsibility as a Nato country. Many Canadians are leaving the country permanent. Investors and businesses are pulling out. Canada is trillions in debt but keep printing more money (toilet paper). Canada has gone downhill significantly over the past ten years. Born Canadians and legit immigrants having to go through a rigorous immigration process are very unhappy and cause conflict. Besides all the different ethnicities cause unrest and are ungrateful, daring the burn the Canadian flag, uttering death to Canada, death the US and Israel. These trouble makers have not intentions to assimilate into Canada's culture and are disrespectful to the Canadian government and it's citizens. Our youth are very unhappy and do not see a future for themselves yet have to work very hard and pay unbelievable high taxes. The minimum wages are only 15 bucks an hour which cannot sustain life here in this country. Please stop making false promises to foreigners to come here and be disappointed. This is not a country of milk and honey any longer but poor and enormous homelessness. Hunger, terrible health care, incredible post secondary tuitions and books. Now that president Trump has won the election he is going to place tariffs on Canadian goods and rightfully so. Russia is very interested in the Antarctica and should they or anyone invade Canada we got 3 days of ammunition. The food in AB is very bad for your health. Everything has pesticides, hormones, and by the time fruit and vegies arrive here from the US all the nutrition have gone. A extremely high cancer rate, young and old, diabetes, depression and other mental disorders are rampant. Our children and grandchildren do not have a future so why bother going to school or work. Our kids live on the streets, shelters, camping in the woods and using fentanyl and meth all kinds of dangerous drugs. The cities and small towns are full of used needles, pipes, and more paraphelia just thrown on the trails everywhere. The US will not assist Canada when a possible War 3 will occur, and we the people of Canada and the land are easy prey. If you do not believe me, just come visit RED Deer shelters and walk around on the trails, go to Vancouver but becareful because random assaults are happening every day, people living in tents, using the streets as toilets, drugs galore, even the police is unable to act nor arrest criminal activities caused by desperate people who need to survive. Canada's economy is about to collapse and fall into a recession. We have too many people coming in our country without checking their back ground and many criminals and terrorist groups are entering declaring refugee status whether it is true or not, we do not know. The people of Canada who work and pay highest taxes are used to house these newcomers and education, jobs, food and money. Our government take better care of these illegal people than their own people especially our youth. So please let us not pretend Canada is a land of opportunity and great. We have to vote for the right leader who will have a very difficult time and challenges to overcome if at all possible and make Canada Great Again!

The Palestinians started the war by attacking Israel, committing several war crimes. Israel has the right under international law, as does every other country, to defend itself. In 2006, the Palestinian people elected Hamas as their official government. Therefore I no longer distinguish between Hamas and Palestinians. They are the same. To them, Israel does not have the right to exist.

stop re-electing the people who got you there. that’s a start

You must understand one thing. We the people of Canada are not to blame for your situation. It is THE PM. Justin Trudeau and his liberal party who agreed to this. We as a people are also in a dire situation because of all you people coming to OUR HOME land. We too suffer from lack of food, jobs, habitation. Our rights are not respected since you came here. But we do not fight you, we suffer you. It won't get better. I hope you will not take offense by my speaking out but just letting you know we have problems too, so next time don't believe it's better elsewhere you study at large, verify make calls. Do not trust the Embassies. I wish you better places to live, especially since the Election in USA. They threaten us of a take over from Canada to USA. Goodbye ? ???

Are reporters stupid? of course its low now after Trump got elected. Of curse its goin to be low now because BIDEN AND KAMALA were inviting illegals to come and cross the border. are you stupid of what. people are not going to risk the little what they have so they can be deported. but if you offer them housing, free healthcare, money, free child support and free food like BIDEN/KAMALA you will see the number go up again. Are you that stupid really?

Canadian immigration system is a joke and now that they allowed about 5 million people with temporary visas without any kind of job opportunities people are forced take steps to secure their future. Majority of Indians arrived in Canada with plans to move to USA as the rumours were that Kamala would get elected and would grant path to citizenship for all illegals.

I cannot believe Harris lost ... with the billons raised..HOW????. Welcome to 1852 people and the king they elected...living like Mad Max, Detroit Robocop, Manhattan Escape to New York.

The most unfortunate result of the presidential election is that Trump thinks he won because people like him and now has a mandate for his reckless policies. He doesn’t seem to understand that the only reason he won was because people don’t like Kamala Harris’s woke agenda, the problem with the border, Biden economics and her stupidity. America was forced to choose between two totally inept, incompetent idiots and chose what they perceived to be the lesser of two evils. Now we will see unreasonable chaotic lunacy unleashed. Congratulations to the irresponsible and incompetent morons who provided Americans with this disastrous election.

People who voted for Donvict think that they are patriots. Im reality, they are insurrectionists, because they elected a man who is going to try his hardest to take this country over and dismantle our democracy.

Trump is as stupid as the people who elected him. He knows zilch about how countries operate.

Love how the Mexican people were smart enough to elect a woman president. I'm so Jealous! VIVA Mexico ??.

Funny how you report on the lowest border crossing under Biden but kept you reporting quiet when The Fascist Felon Elect ran his hateful fear campaign on the so called migrant invasion of how he had two border bills killed so he can run on a problem. Mainstream Media Failed the American people thank good I got the facts from independent Media from the Mideas Touch Network

Where are Joe Biden and Kamala Harris? Why don’t they come to see all this? Biden and Kamala wide open the border to invite hundreds of millions of illegal immigrants to invade our country. Using our own tax payers money to fund the illegal immigrants. Why Kamala blames on elected President Trump for the border crisis????? This make me mad?????. These people should gather like that in their own country to put test with their corrupted government not in our southern borders. Biden, Harris, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer need to be arrested for treason.

The only thing this stupid president is going to get is to make the American people's lives more miserable every day. I still think this election was a big fraud implemented by Elon Musk. Somehow, these elections were rigged. I don't think the American people is that stupid.

Why wasn't all of this said prior to the elections CNN you guys are the news outlet of the world supposedly why can't you guys report about all of this factually before elections instead of having Donald Trump and his cronies makeup lies about the amount of people coming across the borders everyday
