Isn't that sick 2 people? 7 or 8 years in jail for peaceful protest. I hope so many Canadians come out to defend them. I'll be one of them. Government. Pretty d*** disgusting, Trudeau. Made that happen telling my neighbors when they had an extra person in the house. Go to hell. I can't stand none of you. I totally agree with that woman speaking about this. I refused to totally hate myself for my opinion. I see. What's going on? It's a takeover.

isn't it wonderful when you can't afford a car and the government doesn't put enough public transit on the road so everyone is crammed on the bus like sardines so pickpockets can get right next to you to steal from you and no way you can get a seat which is really convenient when the bus brakes in an emergency and it's especially convenient when people have health problems standing for long periods of time on top of the time they spend standing at work ... packing people on buses is a human rights violation in some places around the world ... the government in Canada is mostly irresponsible and I'm not getting any happier myself for what the government is doing to everyone

They made it so we can't have kids, then the gov subsidizes CORPSorations with our money so that CANADIANS don't get hired. D E P O R T. Enough is enough. I know many LEGAL immigrants, friends, who get the concept of assimilation and why. I'd NEVER go to another country and expect special treatment or rights. This isn't going to end well.

I think due to the prosperity and stability Canada has enjoyed for so long Canadians have developed a certain standard of living and expectations in regards to that. So no, we don't want to have to work 2-3 minimum wage paying jobs to get by, no we don't want to live 4 or more to a 400 sqft studio apartment, yes we want to be able to afford our own homes, yes we want to be able to achieve a stable middle class lifestyle. That doesn't work for the crony capitalists who's greed and lust for power always needs satiating. So we have the Liberal government bringing in more immigrants than we have infrastructure to accommodate in an effort to keep wages down so profits can always be up. Immigrants who are willing to accept a lower quality of life than what most Canadians expect/accustom to because it's still superior to where they came from. So the quality of life for all Canadians is exponentially reduced. We are to accept a lower quality of life and if we resist then we are branded with all kinds of derogatory names; racist, xenophobe, fascist, unacceptable fringe, far-right extremists, et al. What's undeniable is that before the Liberals took power in 2015 we had an immigration system in Canada that worked quite well and that since the Liberals took power our immigration system is a destructive mess. This isn't by accident or incompetence, it's intentional, by design. Unfortunately Canada has a problem with so much of our population being ideologically blind, willingly ignorant, easily manipulated, cowardly staying in an abusive relation with our current oppressive government. Question is can the country be saved before too much damage is done?

My Granparents, parents, settled the homestead in 1896 near Rossland BC. How it used to work, how things are supposed to work, is the Government serves the needs and demands of the people. The people don't serve the Government nor any Corporation or Public/Private Partnership. This means that the Government doesn't prevent people from doing what they do and they don't use force to extort the fruit of everyone's labor to the point of enslavement. In 1896 and throughout my Grandfather's life from 1902 to 1976, one would do for themselves if they weren't working for someone else. In other words, you found something needed be done, something the community around you required or was lacking, you opened shop and got after it. You can't work today because you require licensing for everything, you require permission for everything, everything is regulated. People have it in their minds that it's so much better today then it was then, that it's "safer". But it's not, that's a lie. My family, although never wealthy, ate good food, always had a roof over their heads, plenty of family around and always had something to do or at least could always find something to work at. Most importantly, they always had hope because they had freedom. No one has any hope anymore and the people coming here aren't just bringing their culture to overtake our culture, they are coming with anger. With envy, resentment and malice. My family didn't come here with those things, they came to Canada with hope and determination to integrate and prosper with freedom. The other side of my family fled Bolshevism when they left Russia and came here and that side had the exact same hope in freedom to work hard and prosper. Now all generational wealth, freedom, prosperity and hope is all but completely stolen. We don't need more regulations. We don't need more benefits. We don't need more Government. We need less, we need it all to go away because I know for a fact, you give people the freedom to go about their lives, the society or community they form, always tends towards peaceful, prosperous organization. You give people the freedom to build and produce and they'll get after it immediately and that opens the door for all other manner of trades and skills that just fill any hole in a community or society. And that's a fact about the organizational tendencies of human beings. There's nothing stopping us from providing for ourselves but a cartel Government in the business of extortion and human enslavement. They foment chaos and division in order to justify the revoking of more freedoms to enslave more people. People themselves, they look to get along, get to work, raise families and, as best they can, enjoy life. Once we start expecting a Government to take care of us we've institutionalized prisoners who have lost all human dignity. When you "buy in" to all the rhetoric of so called autonomy, ask yourself, how autonomous are you without a family? Just because you're alone in a box in a city, stacked one on top of the other, weighted down by a landslide of rules, collecting benefits from the Government, doesn't make you autonomous. People say, "no one can afford a family". Yet those coming in have large families and they seem to be making out just fine. It's the brainwashing of our culture that set us up. Over time we've convinced the proper way to do things is everyone to grow up and go their own way, leaving each other relying on benefits from the government in old age or illness or whatever calamity might strike in life. There's always something that comes along. With family you have human resource, a plethora of skills and you have your "insurance", free of extortion. Everything that comes from a government is conditional and sooner or later their conditions rule over our condition, even though it's our labor that provides for them. The answer isn't more benefits, as I've said. The answer is simply less government, so we can all get to the business of providing for ourselves and helping our communities prosper. We need to do this with family because alone, we are all isolated and powerless. No one stands alone and a house divided cannot stand.

14:25 The fellow speaking here says the government isn't being honest about how the country is changing. That's simply not true: the goverment has acknowledged the problem, and that immigration has happened too fast. To make matters worse, this fellow then makes a dishonest claim himself. The 817,000 arrivals during the first three months of 2025, that he claims is not immigration, but a population bomb. He's not telling you that this figure is not reflective of people seeking to remain in Canada permanently. The figure includes student visas, work permit holders including work permit extensions: many of these people will benefit Canada and then go back to their countries. If you look at the FAR more relevant figures for actual population growth, they show that the population will grow MUCH more slowly in 2025 than it did in 2024. I'm disappointed that the person who made this video did not see fit to provide real context to all this anti-immigrant sentiment. Inflating the problem is dangerous. The economic hurt is real, but throwing into the mix completely misleading figures about how fast the population is growing only serves to weaponize the pain being felt from the economy, against immigrants. We can't have a lucid conversation about the problem and the solutions, if the medium is this non-existent standard for fact-checking. Channel owner, please do better.

China 1.4 billion, India 1.5 billion, Africa 1.4 billion majority are poor and their countries encourage their people to leave to send back remittances, because they come from failed states. Living in a Republic/Democracy isn't suitable for all cultures. Some cultures are just meant to live under a dictatorship. Not all cultures are equal but it's hard telling libs, feministe, progressives that. They believe everybody has equal value. Even heaven has rules to enter and there are no exceptions/illegals in heaven.

I'm pretty much exactly where that lady in the car is at. Enough to make rent, pay my monthly cell phone bill, and internet, but the rest? Not enough for food, no emergency funds if something breaks or needs replacing, etc. Can't even save and put money away. I sat down and balanced my budget, looking at what I could keep or toss. Figured out what to do for cheapening food costs as much as I could (without doing food bank), and the most I can afford for rent is $700 a month. That's basically a room in someone's house. That's it. As an Adult, I'm disgusted it's come to this. But what angers me MOST of all, is the Landlord's I gotta argue with. Surrey, BC used to be the cheap end of Vancouver. The welfare type housing, and low-income area. Then we had this huge book of Middle Eastern people come flying in at top speed, steam roll the community and make it theirs. They bought up all the cheap housing, ripped it down even though it was not that bad of a house, then built these custom 5-6 room mini mansions. The standards for the area skyrocketed, and the cost of their mortgage is likely also sky high because of what they built... So what do they do? Rent the rooms, force people 2 to a room with no privacy, and if you WANT a private room? Nearly $1000. Oh... And let's not forget the discrimination issues. If you're not going to temple or Gudwara, forget it. If you aren't pure vegetarian, forget it. And because all the other renters are "brown" and under 30yrs old, Adults are considered unwelcome. If you have a disability and don't work, you're automatically labelled a drug user (which isn't always truth). Even if you offer proof of income, and resources or phone numbers to call, they won't bother. Too much work. This sh*t needs to stop. I look in other cities near by, and it's happening in ALL OF THEM. I cant even relocate to get away from this crap. I'm done. I have no car to live out of, so that's not an option. I'm not a drug user, never will be but and all the shelters are now "low barrier". Screw that. So now what? Go back to work with a broken lower back?? Desk job search when I should be recovering and resting? Like, the suggestions are welcome, but be realistic. I'm in constant pain on heavy duty drugs to get by right now. No spouce. No parents or friends to leech off of. I feel utterly abandoned by our government.

They should deport all asylum seekers if they want to save Canada cause they do nothing still get money and all other benefits same as Canadian would get, infact they get more benefits. Problem isn’t the international students the real problem is illegal immigrants

What could possibly make the government create this misery for their citizens and their children. Hard to believe there isn’t mast demonstrations.

Immigration is out of control ! It is 2025 , the year isn’t even half over and they have already brought in almost 1 million mostly Indians . You need to get your facts straight .

At last, some media outlets have found the courage to speak the truth; a truth that 90% of the country has been whispering behind closed doors, too afraid to say out loud for fear of being branded racist. A large number of these individuals have arrived with fake diplomas, and nobody dares verify them. Why? Because even questioning their credentials risks backlash and accusations of discrimination. And when the diplomas are real, the educational standards often don't measure up, resulting in subpar performance and poor-quality service. Many arrive under the pretense of being students, legally allowed to work only 20 hours a week. But they bypass this by exploiting loopholes in shift trading policies at major Canadian companies, racking up 40+ hours a week with ease. This isn’t disorganized opportunism, it's calculated and coordinated. Their communities are becoming increasingly unified and powerful, turning into breeding grounds for corruption, ethnic nepotism and tribalism. They use their community ties and visible minority status to fast-track into positions far beyond their skill or experience levels. Once inside, they bring in more of their own, creating insular hiring circles designed to shield and advance one another, regardless of merit!

My neighbour is a high skilled import for a Canadian job. Now he still lives in Canada but works remote for a US organization and he still isn’t a citizen. Something smells fishy, huh. I’m a high skilled Canadian but couldn’t find permanent work after a layoff in 2015. Funny how in my contract roles I constantly work alongside so many new arrivals that find work 2 months after they get here. I’m sure $$ in wages and subsidies were involved.

Tim Horton's isn't Tim Horton's anymore, it's Taj Mahorton now.

Heightened scrutiny undermines Canada's reputation as a welcoming destination? Isn't this the point? Meanwhile, lax policies allow too much abuse of our "wecoming" system. Finally, with the US tightening their borders, Canada will be the desired destination for North America, and our policies must prepare for this likely outcome. One last point is this: i would rather this country take care of the first nations peoples, the dispossessed, those marginalized within our society and our elderly who've contributed to this country's growth and prosperity but, due to one or another reason, dont have workplace pensions for retirement. Once we've sorted out our own peoples, seen properly to the needs of those who were actually born here, ensured our hospitals and schools are well funded, then we can look to service the needs of a migrant population.

It's sobering to realize that many who have studied, worked, and built lives in Canada may now be left in limbo. The question isn't just about policy—it’s about identity, belonging, and the kind of future Canada envisions for itself. Can a nation remain strong while turning away those who have already contributed to its strength?

Isn't this a older speech?

Donald, in his whole time as a 'leader' (which he clearly isn't) never ever was able to even close hold a speach like this. And he never will be. He is just not a smart man. This decision was a big big mistake. Thanks to Mr. Trudeau for standing up against this characterless BULLY. The Canadians must be so proud of you. I just hope Mexico ( and all the rest of us 'willing countrys') will do the same. I do feel sorry for all the american people who saw this coming and have to suffer now. I hope this all ends well. Sending blessings from Germany.

Canada isn't run by a murderous insane dictator. Trump doesn't like such countries and such leaders. This is the kind of leader a sane country chooses. Trump is the leader an insane country chooses.

Come with. You did last time, and you were terrific. One more time to get a much more global alliance. They will then come to the table as equals. Either that ort they will completely joib with ruzzia, dirty dirty dirty. Trump wouldn't do that! The ROI isn't in his line of sight!

Isn't Trudeau the guy who wore Black Face, froze his citizens bank accounts, and made it a crime if you misgender someone? Anybody? Hello?

Isn't it interesting that cities which attest to such heights of civilization can pursue policies that lead to their ruination? Isn't there an experiment with rat over population that demonstrates when too many are packed into the same place their behavior goes haywire?

Funny thing is Canada people have been trying to get ride of this bum. Know one cares what he has to say even his own people…. Why isn’t CNN reporting that??

I like this general coming in saying this isn’t gonna end well well how was sending money to Ukraine going to end any better than not getting a return on our investment you can sit over there and say whatever they want when they’re getting loans to Ukraine, which was a slap in the face to America. You guys don’t get to ride off the cocktails of America anymore. It’s just not gonna happen.

Isn't gana working

President Trump is Wrong and Should be Stopped by The Supreme Court for violating His Sworn Duty to Serve Americans Citizens, NOT Russians INTERESTS. HE ASO IS BRINGING OUR COUNTRY INTO COMPLETE FINANCIAL SHUT DOWN A DEPRESSION. PUTTIN IS EVIL, BUT SLEEPING WITH HIM ISN'T THE ANSWER TO DEALING WITH HIM. PUTTIN PLANS TO DESTROY THE WORLD, GOG AND MAYGOG. WAKE UP AMERICA, GOD WARNED US ABOUT THE EVIL Leaders THAT WOULD LIE TO US SO THEY COULD CONTROL EVERYTHING EVEN THE COST OF FOOD And WHERE WE GET IT. TAKE NO MARKS ON YOUR HANDS OR HEAD. PAY ATTENTION AND PRAY FOR GOD'S INTERVENTION. MR. TRUMP IS OUT OF CONTROL AS IS HIS CABINET OF PEOPLE. THEY ACT LIKE THEY CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT BECAUSE IT WON'T HURT THEM. IT WILL BE THE WEAK, ELDERLY, SICKLY, WIDOWS, CHILDREN AND THE POOR THAT WILL SUFFER EVEN MORE. WHAT ABOUT ALL OF THE HOMELESS AND THE FOLKS THAT ARE SUFFERING FROM FLOUDS AND FIRE. Washington could be fixing our National problems but they aren't. People are hurting every day in America. Getting poorer and poorer every day. Maybe that's Washington's plan to kill off the needy.

Well done Trudeau. Seems everyone is telling these two American clowns plus their side kicks that they keep telling lies. Someone isn't telling the truth Donny.

The United States has elected a president who is turning its longest-standing allies into adversaries. This isn't just about Canada. The entire Western world is watching. While the U.S. has the power to harm its allies, those allies also have the ability to push back, and the USA is rapidly losing friends who may not return. As America’s alliances weaken, so do the obstacles its rivals face. \n\nTake Australia, for example. Should it continue aligning with the U.S. in the Asia-Pacific region? Should it continue hosting critical American surveillance infrastructure? Should it keep supporting and supplying the U.S. fleet? The USA enjoys a trade surplus with us, but do we need to spend USD$50 billion over the next decade buying your hardware? The Europeans seem to be a more trustworthy ally, who don't make us a target.\n\nThe USA would argue that their presence ensures security, but the reality is that countries like Australia only face threats because they are tied to U.S. strategic interests. Perhaps a more pragmatic approach that avoids unnecessary antagonism with China would serve us better. \n\nAs for Canada, it will adapt and find new trading partners, just as Australia did when China attempted economic coercion. And through it all, Canada, know that Australia will stand with you—always.

Oh boy this isn't going to end well for Canada.

All these t leaders had declare the war to Donald Trump and now they pay the price and now they start to cry........ isn't it strange lefties?

He is shitting himself. Trump isn't going to listen to your pleas.

Isn't he no longer the pm?

Well he wants to incorporate Canada into the US. So maybe it isn't so strange after all.

Donald does not, nor has ever, understood politics or geo-politics. He approaches things as 'business deals' amongst businesses but Countries are not businesses. I have no doubt he is surrounded by people that have known these tariffs are a bad idea but are more interested in keeping their jobs than speaking up with knowledge and experience. Donald is a bully and you have 2 choices. Accept or take the gloves off. Donald is a twice impeached, convicted criminal. I hope the 150+ million that voted for him never complain about the hardships that are on the way. Donald has been authentic from day 1 of his first campaign. He's egotistic, narcissistic, arrogant, insecure, ignorant. I no longer buy American products nor will I set foot in country where half the population has no problem with his lack of empathy, lack of ethics, lack of morality. He isn't the problem so much as he has REVEALED a problem in American society.

I don't think what he said was strong enough this isn't dumb this is absolute stupidity can some one explain what has driven the US to shit on its friends and allies and pivot towards Russia, North Korea and what Reagan calmed the evil empires is this what MAGA really wanted because rather than make America great its going to make it a banana Republic I mean wurhough nukes that is what Russia has proven to be. If the US can do this to Canada can any former Allie trust the US they now will all wonder when the Bagman will visit seeking Donald's protection money ? this isn't dumb this is absolute stupidity and if its a planned strategy the end game seems diabolical if not Criminal ?

Isn’t the Wall Street Journal owned by Fox News?

This isn’t about left or right. It’s about truth, freedom, and the future. Trump thrives on division, fear, and power. without accountability.\n\nDemocracy dies when we stay silent. We can’t afford that. Stand up. Speak out. The fight isn’t over.

This loser isn’t gonna do shit to us lol

Let me correct Trudeau actions. Trump isn't a SMART person and that was evident at every meetings with others president

Isn't it obvious who Trump works for. Putin. They are both disgraceful. TRUMP IS A TRAITOR. CANADA IS OUR CLOSEST ALLY.

Who exactly is your enemy in this world? Leaders like Trudeau, Zelenskyy, Starmer, and most European leaders often sound like staunch supporters of AIPAC. Meanwhile, Trump negotiated with Russia and China to establish peace deals and broader economic opportunities that could benefit everyone. In contrast, these diabolical figures seem to be freeloading, using U.S. tax dollars to pursue their own agendas, targeting anyone who doesn’t align with them—including major superpowers. This isn’t America’s problem to solve. They refuse to admit that without the U.S., they have no leverage left to play with.

This isn’t about trump this about us they wanna blow us up it’s our time ?

I love my brothers n sisters in the USA … this isn’t about you…I am not at war with you ❤ I want to be in peace with you. Please ?? hold your president accountable *

Putin isn't the bad guy. Nato and Klaus swab WEF is !

Isn’t Trudeau sleeping with French president macron???

The fentanyl BS from Trump is so insulting. The US wastes insane amount of time and money catching and jailing LSD, weed, and shrooms users and acts like Canada's dedicated focus on dangerous hard drugs isn't good enough. He should mind his stupid war on harmless drugs instead of attacking people tackling the truly dangerous ones

This guy, as well as every Liberal on earth are completely and utterly clueless and idiotic!! Trump isn't taking sides with Putin! Trump understands that BOTH Zelenskyy and Putin must sit down and agree to a peace agreement... THAT'S IT! Putin is ready.. but Zelenskyy doesn't want to even try.. for one simple reason.. MONEY! he knows that if the war ends, the gravy train called American money comes to an end... Billions of dollars is unaccounted for! Let's put our thinking caps on for just a moment.. where do you think that money disappeared to? Billions of dollars doesn't just vanish in thin air! So now that Trump is putting an end to Zelenskyy's gravy train and has called for the war to end, for people to stop dying and for peace to happen.. that makes him on Putin's side!?!? Good lord .. if this were Obama or even Biden getting this deal done in the same fashion, the media and these same liberals would be calling them heroes! They would be up for the Nobel Peace prize! And liberals wonder why they lost so terribly in November!!!

Why is this guy still taking shots..!! Isn’t he resigned..?? Before presenting the budget 2025..?? What a joke this joker told he is going but liberals have no one..! They have stopped parliament and budget 2025 and now he is standing here and pump his chest as if he is fighting Trump..!! Reality check this is completely because of this looser we are facing this..?? The comments he made on Trump thinking he won’t return..?? Everything Trump blaming of Canada is caused by this looser in past 5yrs with his Pimp Jagmeet..!! Today this dumb piece of shit is taking..!! If it’s True they are no border crossing are drugs issue why these liberal beggars are going to Washington and trying to prove they are doing more to Stop..!!

HAHAHAHAHAHA\n\nGovernor Blackface Castreau Junior isn't a serious man. That's why he'll never be respected. ?

As an American, I never asked for this, i voted against trump, and there isn't much i can do about it because im disabled and half the country is filled with ignorant idiots.
