I am a Canadian and the province in which I live trades with the U.S. so obviously both countries will suffer\n with higher tariffs. If Americans think that these tariffs are a good thing for America you better think again. Obviously prices will rise.As I have been thinking all along Trump will ruin America and the world.

As a Canadian born Indian since 1995 this country has obviously let in too many immigrants since 2020 and Trudunce got into power, I dislike them just as much as the rest of us we are born here speak better English and have more cultural connection to Canadian values then any immigrant no matter the country they come from. and we are having our image distorted by their ignorant behavior when we have nothing in common with these immigrants either.

To some Canadians…STOP BLAMING the international students, it is also the government’s fault AND the Canadian universities fault many of whom are GREEDY without thinking far!!! In France, Universities are free (no student loans required), food is better, transportation is MUCH better and Healthcare is MUCH MORE EFFICIENT than Canada!!! Why bother being scapegoated in canada when in some cases, Europe has better things!!!!

The liberals are sick the asylum seekers are getting better treatment than our Canadian citizens and this means we are gna pay higher taxes

Will be better Canadian students can get jobs they are suffering

Canada like many countries who came out fairly unscathed from COVID are facing the same dilemma, they didn't get the massive economical bounce back and the momentum that went with it like many countries who were devastated by COVID. If you look at the data between Canadian household income compared to the US, excluding the top ten percent since the US has much more income inequality than Canada, you will see that most Canadian are doing much better than their American neighbours. And on top of that, we have safer streets, healthcare, longer lifespan and better public education system. What we are missing is more leadership structuring our economy rather than completely being depended on the free market. They are managing the economy rather than facilitating more growth, none of the Canadian political parties seems to truly be engaged with that. We are not the US, we do not have the population to grow a service economy like they do, which has a compounding effect on their economy. We need a more focused approach to managing our resources, including human resource, which requires some planning on the economic side.

It might look like Canada has a lot of land but this land is owned and even other canadians cannot afford to live here. If a fourth generation canadian cannot get a job, then why should another country come here. We are trying to get our education system to improve and we cannot do that if there are so many people who have a better education from another country. we cannot afford to do this. Canadian life includes Canadian culture, we do not want to learn your culture, as we were born here. if you want to come here, you need to learn canadian culture.

Why should Canadians, especially the youth, have to struggle with housing, poverty and unemployment just so people from India can have a better life here? Its total lunacy.

you better not complain. the canadian goverment will shut down your bank account.

I cannot compete with IT people from India. I honestly do not want to either.\n\nThat being said low wages impact all low income earners and we deserve better.\nI studied mostly in Canada and I know what I know. I also know after completing studies here during COVID and before I accepted low income work.\nI'm proud of myself for doing so.\nI do believe in hiring Canadians first.\nThen the rest. \n❤BEAUTIFUL PEACE \n❤BEAUTIFUL CANADA

F Canada — what you kids will do with degree from shitty Canadian universities?? No demand in this world, go to Europe explore schools there , better opportunities.

Canada won’t look like Canada anymore , times comes the Indian will be ruling Manitoba , they have a better job here in winnipeg than the Canadians here for a long time , you could see them all over the province , and most of them they don’t obey the law , especially those motorists , they act that they own the streets , so sad ,

The one thing that Canadians truly hate is when we have people from other countries coming to Canada and acting like they are better than us

I applied and finally received notice that I can move to Canada as a permanent resident. Some of the videos I have watched (but not this one) have put a scare in me about my move - primarily about the future of the Canadian economy, etc. This video makes me feel better about my move and the recent election has made me realize that I no longer understand a good percentage of my fellow Americans. It has been, and will continue to, a very disheartening feeling that my US is, at least temporarily, gone, gone, gone. Regarding the homeless situation, my current American city is smaller than Ottawa by about 600,000 and the homeless problem here is probably quite a bit worse than Ottawa's.

burn forests to make curry because God forbid you eat food grown here. derisive attitude toward Canadians as if you are better. drunken fights EVEY NIGHT in hotels. disgusting smell!!! yeah, you don't have to go home but you can't stay here

Canadian expat living in Asia. Just returned from a visit to Canada. While spending time with family and catching up with them was awesome, I couldn’t wait to be back in Asia. I’m enjoying a lifestyle here in a tropical beach that would be unreachable in Canada. Eating out all my meals, going out, attending cool events, flying frequently to nearby countries for a weekend or week or weeks at a time. Eating clean healthy food, meeting inspiring and friendly people. Typing this from the beach on a Sunday morning while enjoying my big freshly squeezed carrot juice cup that I paid 60 cents for! \n\nCanada only for visiting once a year. \n\nSave money, work remotely or better yet, learn a high income skill and live anywhere while making money online is the new FREEDOM PLAN. Get on it while you can!

Canada is often perceived as a land of opportunity and comfort, but my personal experience told a different story. After living there for over a decade, I made the difficult decision to leave for several reasons, each of which compounded my struggles and ultimately led me to seek a better quality of life elsewhere.\n\nThe Incident That Sparked the Change\nIn 2017, I was attacked in Toronto, leaving me with a broken nose. It was a traumatic experience, but the frustration didn't end there. When I reached out to my doctor to fix the injury, I was placed on a waitlist. For years, I followed up, hoping for progress, but by 2023, I still hadn’t received a call for the surgery. Each time, I was told the same thing: a shortage of doctors meant they couldn’t help. This highlighted a stark reality of the Canadian healthcare system—while it is publicly funded, it is often overwhelmed, leaving people waiting for years for essential treatments.\n\nThe Harsh Reality of Living Costs\nLiving in Canada became increasingly unsustainable for my family and me. Despite working hard and earning less than $100,000 annually, the cost of living pushed us into a debt of over $70,000. The financial strain was immense, forcing us to sell our home just to clear the loan. Even with this sacrifice, our lifestyle remained stagnant. We hadn’t taken a vacation in ten years because there was simply no room in the budget. Owning a home or enjoying basic luxuries felt like an unattainable dream, and I realized that continuing in this cycle was not a viable option.\n\nChallenging Weather Conditions\nCanada’s harsh weather was another factor that wore us down over time. The long, freezing winters and short, unpredictable summers made it difficult to enjoy outdoor life or maintain a consistent routine. The mental toll of enduring such extreme weather year after year contributed to the decision to seek a more temperate and enjoyable environment.\n\nA Need for Change\nAfter ten years of struggle, it became clear that the current conditions in Canada were not conducive to a fulfilling life. The combination of healthcare delays, skyrocketing living costs, financial stress, and unforgiving weather made me question the sacrifices I was making. Life is short, and the realization that there are other places in the world with better systems and opportunities prompted me to take action.\n\nWhile Canada has its merits, it’s important for people to reassess their priorities and make decisions that align with their well-being. For me, leaving was a step toward reclaiming my life and creating a future where I could thrive, rather than just survive.

There are a lot of scammers around the world. It is in your duty to identify them and never fall as prey. It's not Canada's fault that you are getting deported for false information. Scammers are getting better every time. It is your duty to do your own research so you won't get involved into this mess. Yes Canada immigration also needs to screen the application very carefully so this type of nonsense will not come to pass. If you fall prey to scammers that is your own fault for not doing the right thing or even following the right process. You guys like it easy then Canada will make it also easy for you. DEPORTATION. I am an immigrant myself and we followed every single steps to become an offcial canadian citizen. It took me years to become a citizen. And I am not just talking about 3 or 4 years later, but 10 years later coming from a skilled worker.

It is 100% the Trudeau Government to Blame. As a born and raised, WHITE Canadian, I NEVER had an issue with Indian immigrants, of all the immigrants to Canada, they were the most respectful, and the most willing to “assimilate” to our culture. The recent influx of immigrants/migrants from India, are the most disrespectful, disgusting and violent people I have ever seen. Shitting where they want, throwing garbage everywhere, not learning English, disrespecting our wildlife, by trying to kill and eat everything, and the latest, hearing a march In Brampton where new immigrants/migrants saying “Get out British speakers, We are the real Canadians, go back to Europe”. My patience and hospitality has limits. Trudeau let this influx happen, assimilation is not possible on this massive scale. I feel sorry for those seeking a better life in Canada, but native borns are being left behind and are angry, so this is what you get. Sorry….just being honest

We live pretty normal day to day lives - we don't splurge out on new cars or RVs or boats - just NORMAL life, and it is absolutely shocking how much is the monthly cost of raising a family here. I don't think the next generation has much hope for a good future in terms of housing, jobs, savings, safety. Young Canadians will leave, if they can. Better than being broke, homeless, in perpetual debt.

Proud dual citizen Canadian here. Love the country, people and culture. However, the Liberal politics of the last 9 years have been a disaster, from high inflation, uncontrolled immigration, lack of pro business investments, homelessness, housing… this is to list just a few issues. The same thing has been happening in the US and Western Europe. Thank you God for helping elect Donald Trump. Many on this forum may not like the guy, but he was before, and will be good for the country, economy, overall people of the US and indirectly Canada. The Trudeau gang must go, a monkey could do a better job governing this beautiful Canada than that moron Trudeau. Do you all remember him saying…. “ the budget will balance itself”…. WTF… Really Justin???

The Canadian government had better be prepared to turn them back.

The government are the corrupted ones greedy to fill their pockets putting Canadian and American livelihoods and economy on a downfall. They needed to be deported back to where their ancestors came from. The native could do a better job running the country, haven’t seen them had a single chance to run it.

No. \nNo housing, health care is down to a crawl, the blatant disrespect towards Canada from immigrants. \nNo more.\nOur own goof of a PM admitted they made a bit of a mistake. He’s underplaying it. \nThat administration decided it was better to bring in countless immigrants with no plan for housing. \nNow I get 3 bags of groceries for over $200, rent is ridiculously high, water, heat, electricity, the list goes on.\n\nPeople that come from other countries also have the audacity to burn the Canadian flag and demand the government do something to help out their mother country. Want to do something for your past country? Go back there and volunteer your time or donate your money to relief organizations. Why is it the Canadian governments responsibility to help out a country before helping its own people!\nEnough is enough

???your all so stupid if you only knew how to use your brain you would see that he almost lost Texas to Biden is a coincidence Texas got not one inch of wall especially that every one along the border voted blue ???you got to appreciate a great con oh and wait it gets better we are going to be energy independent with the keystone pipeline buying Canadian oil so we can export our oil really cheap ??your all so stupid it's sad

If jagmutt continues to support Trudeau as he let's these people in he better hope he's a master purple belt because millions of canadians will be coming to punch that ticket!

Jt better wise up bc they will come to the Canadian borders. \nThe Minister sounds like a fool, not too worry???

THEY BETTER NOT ALLOW THEM IN! WE CANADIANS ARE HUNGRY ENOUGH!! NO MORE ROOM!

Some Canadians wanting to move to the U.S because of Trudeau and Americans want to come to Canada because of Trump, not sure which one is better??

Don't know why you feel Canadiens hate you, that's BS. What we do hate is the fact that Canada is in big trouble, being run by a criminal government making Canadians look for food in garbage bins. Yet India thinks coming here will ne a better life but instead immigrants by coming here takes away what we don't already have. We hold YOU responsible for ignoring our suffering and not stopping your own people from coming here and making things worse. WHY? Because you don't care when you should

Canada and western nations must stop interfering in the economic and political issues of India e.g. JT's direct involvement in Farmers agitation in India through Canadian Khalistanis, affecting agricultural reforms in India. Canada has become safe heaven for Indian plane hijackers and Canadian Khalistanis terrorists, who are openly threatening Indian Airlines in media. Canada's financial support to NGOs, who are against NRC bill brought for the deportation of 20 million illegal Bangladeshi and Rohingya in India. Canada's financial support to opposition parties of India who brought 50% reservation policy for particular castes and minorities in colleges and jobs left other 50% to study abroad, despite of better performance in studies.

DON'T BLAME INDIANS BUT BLAME YOUR GOVT .\nIF YOU CONTINUE TO VOTE JUSTIN THEN THIS PROBLEM WILL NEVER BE SOLVED .\nNOW CANADIANS ARE ALSO RUNNING AWAY TO USA FOR BETTER STANDARD OF LIFE AND CROSSING THE BORDER ILLEGALLY.

CANADIANS THEMSELVES ARE IMMIGRATING TO USA .\nIS USA BETTER THAN CANADA ?

This was so satisfying to watch. It is one thing to be against illegal immigration. It is yet another to be racist. \nIndians on average integrate really well, and this dude was more Canadian than this awful character. \nThe moment he started speaking in French, she knew he was a better integrated Canadian than she could ever be. \nAll that remained was an “F off”.\nYup, that is all they have at the end.

Keynesian economics building more houses the prices go up grassroots economics where we work together and build small communities and share trades would work better but no the progressive Conservatives didn’t want a part of that. I’m an ex pate I was in the green party green party was going to put in a grassroots economy and I’m going to ask Pete and announce Canadian citizenship. I’m going to Australia where is the democracy? It’s not democracy Latin real estate fraudsters jack up the rates that’s the problem in Canada. It’s not the real estate greed.

I agree with the woman talking about adapting to the culture in the country you’re in. ABSOLUTELY CORRECT but do note that these Indians are not coming for free, on average close to 90,000 Indian Students come to Canada to study with an average 2 year program, and each one of them spends at least CAD 40,000 for each year! Now if you do the math they inject about 3.6 Billion dollars every year! Which makes International student one of the top 10 source of revenue for Canada! That is the hard reality check for anyone who thinks these Indians in Canada are all undeserving people.....they just compete better than most white Canadians in their home ground whilst quite literally in every stretch there are more facilities available to Native Canadians then there are for the people of international origin: International students' annual spending directly and indirectly contributed CAN$7.4 billion in tax revenue for the Canadian government. The study is based on study permit data from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) on 2022, as well as data from Languages Canada to capture short-term students.

7:15 ?? This is exactly the reason Immigration has to stop!!! We Canadians have paid into the system our entire lifes! These immigrants come here and have exactly this mentality!!! (We've come here and put 3 or 4 years into the system). Your entitlement is absolutely sickening!!! You want country that resembles yours? Get back on the plane! Stop complaining about our traditions! Stop rioting about problem's happening in your country in our country! Our country was a much better place before this immigration mess took place. I'm not racist by any means. There's people that come with a suitcase and thrive and work there balls off to make something of themselves and rely on themselves and embrace this country and are so appreciative for the opportunity our country has given them as a second chance, and are amazing additions to our country!. Then there's this.....

What we need is better paying jobs with benefits. Corporations flow of money must be followed, how much is leaving the country. Stop giving welfare to corporations who are making record profits that leave the country . \nWith new comers coming in with government subsidies to pay for their housing and giving businesses part of the wages payed by our taxes while our people live in tents, results more native Canadians are unable to be employed, get houses etc.

Why can't the Canadian government commit to a fair trade agreement with China? The current trade deficit with China exists largely because our Canadian govt and business leaders have supported Chinese imports into our market. This isn’t China’s fault—it's a consequence of decisions made by our own Canadian politicians and business leaders. Now, with increased tariffs on Chinese-made EVs in favor of American-made brands like Tesla, China is responding by reducing its imports of Canadian canola. Why we need to favour american company to chinese company which by the way provide better technology with less price tags. Who bears the brunt of this? It's our Canadian farmers who will suffer the most. It’s concerning that our government lacks a strategy to truly prioritize Canada and put Canadians first in its economic policies

❌Trudeau blames Business/Corporations for taking advantage of immigrants by paying them low wages. SERIOUSLY, Canadians know better. First of all, it is because of Trudeau's open door policy that all workers are suffering from poor wages and benefits. Secondly, Trudeau has consistently undermined the COLLECTIVE BARGAINING of UNIONS‼ The middle class has been struggling for years. They are being stripped of benefits, fair wages and PENSIONS ! Pensions have become an unacceptable expectation in Canada! We as Canadians have been convinced by Government and Business that workers should take care of all that foolish Pension stuff themselves! I DON'T BUY IT ! Nobody seems to be pointing the finger at CEO's astronomical salaries, plus bonuses, fringe benefits. ie. Corporate Jets, Sunny Trips Down South. They aren't being stripped of benefits, earnings, bonuses or fringe benefits. Profits are for them, NOT to be shared with wokers. \n❌Liberal Trudeau is no different Conservative Harper, it is all about the top 10% ! It's not about you, the worker, the shrinking middle class, the poor.

Show me one example where the influx of migrants has done anything to improve Canada, except for the migrants. To many, to fast , many not properly vetted, increased pressure on housing, medical, schools, crime. Nothing is better in 2024 than it was in 2015 before Trudeau became PM. He is the absolute worst PM in Canadian history.

Better late than never. Help Canadians already here before helping people who aren't even Canadians. First help your own, then you can help others from other countries.

I live in the United States and I’ve met lots of Canadians who visited the US have come down to live here\n\nI have to admit I’ve only been to Canada twice in my life\n\nI have immigrant family, who lives in Canada and my European Background mothers family came from Montreal to the US over hundred years ago\n\nNeedless to say, I’m familiar with Canadians that I meet here in the US\n\nI am aware that many Canadians superficially to Americans look like Americans, but aren’t and I know from Canadians that they find the lifestyle in parts of the United States, a little bit too intense and experience and expectation\n\nWhat you will find if you look at Canada’s past, history is a trail of Canadians. Who’ve had to come down to the US for employment opportunities as Canada has time not being able to provide the opportunity and sustenance for their population.\n\nI would have to say that perhaps maybe prior to the 2010’s Canada was doing very well and providing quality life for their population and their citizens and the residence\n\nWhat you find out personally is that is being mismanaged when it comes to immigration capital investment in industries And worst of all, not being able to ride housing in a place where exposure to the elements could be certain death for some people\n\nThere user based national health system seems to be freeing and not being able to provide the services that they once provided, which is also something that’s really troubling\n\nAnd now I hear that they have problems providing food at an affordable amount\n\nI wish you well and fighting a place that gives you better comfort and opportunities to grow and affordable lifestyle\n\nI can’t say in the United States you’re gonna find better you’ll find certain cost of living items a lot more affordable, but we do not have a safety net when it comes to healthcare

By her logic, every american and Canadians should go back to Europe because that land belongs to red indians (native Americans). Or better all humans should go back to Africa because humanity orgins from that continent ?

I honestly don’t mind these numbers of immigrants as a Canadian, but we need more housing by a lot and we need a better distribution. There 200+ countries, why is any one of them making up 32% up new canadians!

Please don’t blame Canadians for this, they are simply fed-up with the influx of Indians in a very short time (obviously a fault of the Current Government), plus we Indians are not typical model citizens, we lack proper hygiene, we are loud & we are cheap etc. imagine if an huge number of migrant (from a 3rd world country, say Africa) migrates to India suddenly how would an average Indian react, Canadians are some of the most hospitable people out there, try to be polite and adapt to the new culture/environment ASAP & things will be better soon

If Indian journalists had done better jobs, some innocent people would be free without any problems now. \n\nDo you know if Canadian citizens learn something about sikh independentist? \n\nDo you know if Hardeep Singh Nijjar did something from Canada to India? Never forget media across the world have people to translate your news. \n\nCanada doesn't make enough effort to protect the population and accepts everything from strangers. It is not acceptable for a country to commit murders in another country. The Indian government is not rational on this point; only small policies without any vision. Reputation of India for only one citizen at this point, they could have 1,428,627,663 conflicts around the world, one for each citizen, good luck. \n\nI would boycott a lot of newcomers from India to avoid this kind of problem until having a real solution. Canadians can't inquire about newcomers from India. Canada is not a prison, we don't have to make effort to receive immigration. I think Canadians deserve a safe country. This is not refusal, but we don't need to import problem in this beautiful country.

Canadians better save your country from JUST-IN TO DO and his gang of terrorists, drug dealers and human traffickers.

For you all who are sympathizing with her..let me tell you Indians are 2% of canadian population. 2% of Indian population is christian and whole country celebrate Christmas. So..they are just jealous..that Indian are doing better than them\nEdit - my bad it's 5% but still...

Everyone has an opinion about this, but the only fact that really matters is what people actually do. Currently about 10X as many Canadians per capita move to the US as Americans move to Canada. There really isn't much else to say. Canadians will always imagine themselves to be better, but the reality is people prefer to live in the US, including a lot of Canadians. Other than marriage, there's little to entice an American to move to Canada and the statistics bear this out.
