If I remember right canada first house crises was in the 19’s something and back then they started making more houses to resolved this problem………………..,… And I am thinking that getting immigrants from only 1 country might not be good, because of countries, society mentality…………. One Example ; a-lot people in the USA are strong guns advocate, if Canada only get people from the US and because the majority of Americans love their guns, they may advocate to have more guns freedom in Canada and teach their children guns loving mentality. So it is probably best to mix individual from various country to minimize this outcome. ………………. In any case immigration are very important for countries whom don’t make a lot of babies, to survive and stay strong in today’s world where weak countries are getting crushed by strong countries……………… what make countries strong is their population, where government take taxes to pay and buy defensive guns to defend a country without the need to go into dept and sell its soul to powerful countries. I did not go to any university and yet I was able to understand this …

Trudeau let every Tom, Dick & Harry from every flea bitten country on the planet into Canada and now we have problems .Now Trudeau quits takes his 7 million dollar pension and says i created the problem now let the next guy fix it.

Every other country except Poland has a ‘too many paki’ problem. Take a guess what’s coming for Canada? Why are we so stoopid about this?

Now talk about the real problem. The housing issues, the big corporations taking advantage of the housing in Canada, and the companies that are exploiting temporary foreign workers by paying them low wages and taking advantage of their immigration status.

call it what it is: FORCED MASS ILLEGAL ECONOMIC MIGRANTS... Canada is fast becoming a third world country with all the problems of a third world country.. DIVERSITY IS CERTAINLY NOT OUR STRENGTH.

No jobs and no housing? Why not build more small, affordable homes while expanding your cities? Why not create more jobs? Don't you want to grow and focus less on the USA and Trump? Expelling immigrants who genuinely want to live in Canada shouldn't be your solution to these problems. After all, Canada came into existence thanks to immigrants, right? Reclaiming houses bought by foreigners who don't even reside in your country could be a better approach. Only citizens or permanent residents should have the right to buy or build real estate.

Good it's about time that Canada 🇨🇦 fix it immigration problems 👏👏👏

Reality is that Canada does not have a housing problem, it has a occupancy level problem, That can only be solved by having more babies.

These immigrants were scheduled to leave anyway. They were well aware of it. So, it is not based on new immigration rules. The government tried to force too many people into the country, causing a spike in housing prices and many other problems. This then affected every Canadian. A lot are becoming even poorer. It is one of the reasons they had more tent cities and 2 million people going to food banks along with 2/3 of Canadians with only 500.00 a month after all monthly bills were paid. That's 2/3 of Canadians. The Convoy had released these figures over a year ago at CPAC. Proving that Canada is in a huge mess economically because of these Liberal policies. @minimaxmiaandme.4971 - I don't hide behind a fake name. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the convoy or did you forget? The Liberals violated Canadians' Constitutional Rights to Protest. Which proves they are more credible than the Liberals. Now be man enough to show your real identity.

Maybe with a new, and NOT Liberal, government, family breadwinners can earn enough so that Canadians can affort to have the children that will make it not so necessary to import workers. It wouldn't be so bad if immigrants (not all - I know) didn't bring all their frustrations and anger from their home with them into our society. Currently immigration causes way too much friction and divisivness in Canada. They bring their problems with them They need to solve those issues in their home countries. We don't need those problems to be faught here in our peaceful country.

as if we had nothing else to do than to get involved in other people's business but it is surely the multinationals who make Trudeau react they are afraid of losing their investment. The resigning Prime Minister Trudeau should worry about the real problems and rather than seeking confrontation with other nations they should on the contrary create alliances with Asia rather than with the European Union which is collapsing and which will lead us into their crisis we prefer to accuse others of our bad decisions the world is changing and we watch the train pass once again, it is so easy to find an enemy and put everything on his back ex: what has Russia done to us? nothing at all but for fear of what others will say (the Americans) we have to get them on our backs. War is not going to happen in Canada at all, we are not made for that, besides, looking at our arming is ridiculous, yet we were an extraordinary force for peace (the blue helmets). Our governments are idiots like all the others of our time and if that does not change we will stay on the train platform saying to ourselves that we should have

I dont see a problem here, US and Canada are G7 countries and still they are rich.

Canada , don't let the orange clown coerce you into doing his dirty work by putting the responsability for the fentanyl problem in your court.\nRegards from the Netherlands.

Yeah, i don't believe anything this guy says. He went from tariffs to fentanyl???? I've never heard of Canada stopping the surge of fentanyl. I'm pretty sure it's still a huge problem.

These Tarrifs are Part of Putin's attack on the West, carried out by his chief operative. Thats' the only way it makes sense! Scrap these border investments, there is no problem to solve, and Canada can better use the money now!

Could this be about the mineral ? Trump is making problems with our neighboring allies and Ukraine . What's the end game. Maybe he's underestimating them, or he's relying on what once was America's strength. Trump believes military powers is strength , but he fail to understand the value of unity. We know that the rare minerals are common in the world disputes. Could it be that Trump is just planning to take them ?. Ukraine is not having it. Canada's not having it. Question remains, what's the end game? This doesn't make sense to alienate America from the rest of the world. ?

Spot on. I left Canada because of all these issues. Any of my friends who are still there simply don’t understand that there’s a long term problem that has nothing to do with US tariffs. The country is weak, poorer than it needs to be, and not in a good spot due to focusing so much on real estate and immigration.

I almost completely support everything he says. My problem comes with his comments on Fentanyl. Please, this medication is a game changer for so many suffering daily in agony with chronic pain or deadly conditions. For those who need it medically, it is strictly controlled and monitored. Fentanyl is “eaten” by pain, so for those who need it there is no high, just relief.\nThose on it legally already have to deal with a great amount of prejudice, being treated as addicts and dealers when they are just trying to find a way to survive immense pain everyday. This medication allows them to get out of bed, to attend school or work, to have a life. It gives them hope and relief. \nThe opioid crisis is real, but those on a prescription are not the cause. Canada already has some of the strictest protocols in the world for this medication, leaving many people in agony as they loose access to it. \nDon’t take away something that is saving them. The drug is not wrong, those selling it illegally are in the wrong.

Heck! What is problems USA have with Canada??!! If I remember correctly, the last time he was president, he also do it.!!!!!

Do you guys all have memory problems. Trudeau been stealing millions of dollars for years and now he’s Mr canada. Trump is the first to stand up to these corrupt bastards ever.

Trudeau is the problem! Instead of parouged parliament call an election! I am a Canadian and Trudeau has taxed the hell out of us and put Canada in a weakened position! Canadian s want Trudeau gone ASAP!

If you are with Canada then move there and don't buy American products. Problem solved

As an American, First, I am embarrassed by our petulant child of a President who has NO IDEA what he is doing. Canada…despite what you hear, we love you. Our incompetent government is our biggest problem and I am truly sorry for The Worst President we have ever had and his idiocy toward you. He’s our National Embarrassment. Canada we love you. ❤ I truly wish Trudeau was our President! A true pro with class and decorum.

There is a lot of talk on Fentanyl headed south, but no mention by Canada of how much of the drug heads north. I can't be zero. There has to be transit of the drug from the USA into Canada.\n\nBut what I truly don't understand, is that what heads south is not crossing through the Canadian border. All south bound traffic needs to go through US Border patrol agents. So by that measure, how is Canada not doing its job? I've crossed into Canada many times and have been asked to pull over for a search of my vehicle more times than I've been searched on my return to the USA, which was once, my very first crossing in 2002. \n\nMy only guess is the problem isn't fentanyl, that's just a distraction and by design a way to get people believing in something that isn't true and to help further the rift.

The educated and thinking American people ( who are the majority of voters and unfortunately 1/3 did not vote) know that Donald Trump has lied to us. We understand that Canada has no fault and no role in contriving this trade war. We also know that the Fentanyl problem has little or nothing to do with Canada and that the majority of Fentanyl is brought into the USA by US citizens. Most American citizens do not want this. Donald Trump and is an opportunist. He does not care about the American people . He cares about himself and his money.

I do agree with you for some things but not all and i do think it was your best speach since 9 years but it does not take away what you have done wrong over your 9 years attacking freely canadien on there rights example:hunting right, sportshooting rights and freedom of expressing,running after the wrong person example:taking away legal firearms when they are not the problem since 80% of illegal firearms comes from outside the canada, I think that trump is just not taking canada seriously, over the past years since you are in power,canada has made a very bad name except for the freedom convye, which in that case made canadien stick together while you steaded in your office,i do think that a new leader/party should take place and give a chance for canada to walk out the mase you have done over 9 years

Playing the victim eh? You acknowledged that America and Canada are biggest friends and allies but when you were asked to secure your side of the border you declined America’s request. You have problems in locking your gates but you don’t have problems in locking bank accounts of CANADIAN TRUCK DRIVERS.\nGuuuurrllll, you already quit as the PM STFU.

Canada didn’t need to do all that stuff about Fentanyl. It’s a made up problem so Elon and Trump can destroy Americans and make us so poor that he can take over as dictator.

PM, Please don't bend to these Clowns in the US. The US drug Problem is none of Canadas PROBLEM!

I’m a 53 year old Canadian. I went to college on an athletic scholarship & lived there for 10 years after turned professional in my sport. Why, why, why - with all the problems going on in the world right now to tackle - why would you want to start a trade war with your closest trading partner & most loyal ally? Not to mention that your list of Allies is shrinking daily. This is not going to end well for either of us. \nI just arrived home from a trip to the grocery store - making sure nothing in my cart said “ made in the USA” on it due to the new tariffs that began today. \nThe irony is, many of the states where Trump won by the biggest margin, are the states that are going to get hit the hardest from Canadian retaliation tariffs ( Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Indiana, the Dakotas - just to name a few). A lot of farmers in those states are going to be hit extremely hard with the fertilizer tax. After Canada, the next 3 largest Potash producers are Russia, Belarus & China. So , good luck \nWhen the cost of fruit & vegetables skyrocket across the US. Maybe you’ll put a little more thought into your vote 4 years from now.

He only cares about tariffs trump is actively trying to save the world. If russia takes Ukraine, the whole Europe is in trouble, including Canada. We are literally the only humans in our universe that we know of, and everyone is worried about trump. He fixings something thats so little of our problems. And ps Mr. Canada is no good.

Trump is just doing it to draw attention away from his own country. He can blame Canada and every other country for American problems but that's not gonna work on American people. It's entirely disappointing that trump is pushing away American allies and bizarre that he thinks the economy will be better off.

Please Canada PLEASE KNOW we are NOT being represented by by that orange, drunk party clown with many known and unknown mental problems. \nthe PEOPLE does NOT side with him and we are TRAPPED HERE on all sides. What can we do to get another country/countries to step in and HELP US!!!! PLEASE!! I BEG OF YOU!\nWe are watching the world around us burn and we. Need. HELP! \n \n? PLEASE PLEASE HELP! SOMEONE!!! ?

The FACTS is that there is a HUGE drug problem in Canada worst than the USA! So Canada should STOP fentanyl by all means with a lot of people suffering from addiction

Canada is 347 0ut of 348, global container ports, Trudeau stymied growth, infrastructure, and Canadas future, he blames the USA, for his only push three issues, LBGt, carbon tax and Dei... Why no new industries built in Canada, we essentially only sell cars and oil to the USA at 20% discount. Try buying Canadian, but these are all foreign products, because Canadian bureaucracy and poor productivity, ie, unions and government employees all at home. EXAMPLE, after owning hunting rifles for sixty year, Trudeau minions, contacted my at least six time when I attempted to renew my firearms licence, even phoning my wife for a old man... Go figure, Trudeau only knows how to Hire voters... The problem is Trudeau, you voted for it so now you will pay!!!

You are no more Prime Minister, no need to worry, you are friend of non. Canada will have huge problems due to your corrupt leadership.\n\nCanadian are good people .

Kinda makes you wonder where this politician was during covid, and the actual problems were facing in canada. This is the trudeau we wanted, but he did not deliver.

I believe that once we get everything on line, we can weather out the storm. What does Canada have that we don't have? All we want is a fair deal. We have endured the burden of ensuring the safety and economic development of our allies. They have all benefitted, and it is time for them to offer some relief while Trump works on our problems back home.

Nice, this will likely bring down the price of housing in Canada, a current problem.

Canada Latinas EurAsia HELLO! WORLD'S PEACE PEOPLE'S! *Not problems Comrades! O.K. Ukraine I'S USSR! Forever! NATO's GO HOME GO HOME NOW! ALOHA! Hi! Guys! WE KNOW HELP YOUR! Guantanamo NoW needs WANTED ZELEN$$KI arrested orders! FBI! NoW Guys NoW! Don't Worry MY Dears FRIEND'S!*\nALOHA!!!

This guys strong suit is lying. You and only you, waged a trade war, Turdeau. He won't tighten up the border because he profits from the drugs that are smuggled. He's all about getting people on drugs. He's the one who has fueled the Fentanyl problem in Canada. Don't be fooled by this liar.

I live by the Canadian border. It is NOT easy to cross. Trump is lying and just trying to make himself look good even knowing tht Canada is willing to be a partner in combating illegal drugs. He wanted to get his court problems etc off his table. He had to get elected. And ELON helped that. Without Elon the shadow president he wouldn't have. Hell Elon had to pay people to vote for him.

what has your problems got to do with Russia.......? you should focus on Canada and your work with the US. Remember Trump is on the scene to help USA - not you.

All these comments….”Oh we stand with you Canada”. We don’t want you stand with us, fix your fucking problem America and stand up to your supposed representative Trump.\nHe is going to screw you too, wait and see.\nWhat has he done for America so far?\nO yeah, rename the Gulf of Mexico, that’s changed peoples lives for the better.\nWhat a joke.

uk will trade with canada no problem and ukraine \nfrom a scot cant see the canadians backing down \nMinister Justin Trudea what a leader first time i have ever listened closely to this guy top man\nam sure the people in america in shock what is happening with their country

Thank you Canada, the US is too weak to take care of the MAGA problem we have. Hope Mexico sticks it to him too

How come Canada didn't do something about the illegals coming through their border and the fetanal problem until Trump was elected? During Biden Canada wasn't really concerned. BTW how about the US stop exporting aircraft parts to Canada

If you watch CNN ? you are part of the problem LOL check on WHO pays them to spin the narrative!\n\nWar? Dictator ? Those are some strong and exaggerated words. As a diplomat he should know better ? just protect the borders like a good neighbor and you won’t have any issues … I think the US will be ok. \n\nCanada ?? has been an open border, ask all your DoorDash and Uber drivers in the US where they are coming from !!!! They all say Canada… Indians, Turkish, Palestine, Hispanics… quit lying ?\n\nJust because he speaks gently doesn’t mean he ain’t full of ?\n\n“Donald” uhmm President Trump .. homeboy shows little respect … for the president the entire country chose.

I support Canada and their citizens and their leaders. My U.S. country is the core problems.
