Great countries all time worst leaders

pointing out the leaders of a bank are all white and assuming they are all there because they are white and not because of merit is racist itself and says a lot about your character.

We got McDonald’s and star bucks I’m Canadian but I wouldn’t want to move to the states maybe 15 years ago that would have been a cool adventure but not now. Don’t get me wrong I’m not saying Canada is better we both have shit for leaders but if I were to move it’d be somewhere else idk where else but not here we have a lot of the same problems and headed in the same direction.

Yes, American citizens need to be taken care of first before we let any more people into the country, but let's keep thinking about this... Why are so many people trying to escape Venezuela? Could it possibly be the cripplingly sanctions the US has imposed on Venezuela for decades? There is no better example of how sanctions don't work and only make the population of the country suffer and not the leaders. Why are people trying to leave Mexico, which is a country where guns are 100% illegal? If you guessed violence from the drug cartels being one of the main reasons, good job. Now, why do drug cartels in Mexico even exist? To supply the gigantic appetite that Americans have. Where are the cartels getting their guns from? Once again the answer is Mexico. If you are someone saying Mexico needs to fix itself, just remember that they have the one of the worst neighbors ever. We have no problem giving Israel $3 billion every year and sending our military all over the world to bring democracy to people who never wanted it, but our neighbors to the south? Fuck em. War on drugs? Lol. That's a war America doesn't really want to win.

Just one person here. One: Canada's going in a bad direction for some. Perhaps very bad. Latest is the opposition to the current leader of Canada (and the group) who is shown to be the same in many ways. But it's US better? Mexico might be, except for cartels.\nCanada is multicultural. Arrangements are for 'millions'(?) more.\nImmigrants are in 'tent CITIES' I one city.\nBut doesn't US have that, too?\nSo, not seeing reasons? Politically difficult in both.

Mexico needs freedom send in the peaceful us army lol oh wait the cartels will kill all the leaders lol

We definitely need a new leader for this country. \nCanadians can't afford to keep a roof over their heads and food on their tables.

No we are not a better America. We have a sane country, no guns, no militarized police, a democracy, a parliamentary form of government and a King as our Head of State. A Trump would be impossible up here. We elect a party not a leader. One non-confidence in parliament and our Vice Regent, the Governor General would inform the King and parliament would be closed for a new election. We also have no ridiculous nearly 250-year-old Constitution. Our Consitution is based upon the British North American Act. We can revise it anytime with the Governor General's permission (and the King's). We are a peaceful nation and do not think like Americans. But I'd travel in the North East US. America''s fixation with patriotism is nauseating.

Funny thing is that you're contradicting yourself. Not sure if you noticed. The US as a whole isn't safe until your political leaders do something about gun issues. No politician is brave enough to stand up to your NRA because they bribe most politicians.

Imagine blocking out the world so people can’t move freely where they want, and this world is for us all, god will punish these mfs everyone who is a king and a leader will burn in hell, everyone who call themselves god will burn, all the evil will burn and go with the devil himself, these are gods words.

We’d gladly send you Canada’s version of MAGATS and their leader Pierre Polievre!

No! Not a chance not when the USA is gun crazy and lets nut jobs run for leader of the country. You kill your kids for an obsolete amendment to your Constitution. It is no longer necessary tell the right to bear arms the British Redcoats are not going to invade you and take your country. Your gun violence is way out of control, and I watched your country take away more of your citizens rights day by day.

NO. Never. Wonderful natural areas and cities to visit on vacation, but America has a personality disorder that's out of control. Not in any order except how they came to me:\n(1) the American Dream vs the Candian ideal. (2) In many places, any stranger you pass on a street or see anywhere may be legally armed with a gun. (3) Babies to adults -- all can be murdered over and over again, and nothing changes. (4) Healthcare - the idea people thing they shouldn't take care of others is appalling to me. (5) Religious fanaticism - nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. (6) Rampant racism alongside denial of the existence of racsim; nope again x 10. (7) What used to be creeping corruption is now rampant all the way to the Supreme Court (8) 50% of the people want authoritarian fascist for a leader corrupt Supreme Court ... Is that enough for now?

It comes down to our political system.\nCanadians elect a leader for what they can do for our country.\nNot because of political loyalty.\nWell, except for French Quebecers.

I would happily move to the States. Especially with the way our government has been operating lately. Trudeau is the WORST leader this country has ever had, and he's just a step down from a dictator in my opinion.

Most of these responses seemed to be from left-leaning people in Canada. British Columbia is NDP, socialist leaning, in other words. I'm from Alberta. We recently had an election here and made it abundantly clear we do not want the NDP running our province. We have a gun culture here and won't give up our arms. I didn't read one mention of the PM in Canada. Yet, walk around and all you hear about is the hatred people have of him and the division he has caused. The leader of the NDP sides with him. I actually have dual citizenship, so harbor no bad feelings to the US. I just don't go where there are a lot of left-leaning Dems/Liberals. Alberta to Texas is almost like not leaving Alberta, just going to the ranch down the way and visiting family.

First I feel for these people. They want to live in the greatest country in the world. Because of the current president we are in a bad situation where he has made it hard for the citizens that where born here to make a living let alone any new immigrants.\nOur military needs to protect our borders as they do in other countries and any illegal immigrants needs to be deported back to their country and do it the right way it’s an act of terrorism to invade our country the economic strain that it puts on the US is enormous like a bleeding artery that you can’t get tied off. Instead of trying to change our country and ruin it they should put that effort into fixing their own. We need to fix our country first. It would take no less than 5 years of no entry to fix ours at the rate they have been pouring in our own infrastructure can’t handle the influx of people. Mr. President I beg you save our country before you destroy it quite trying to be everyone’s friend be as a president should a leader and protector of the greatest country in the world. Please stop destroying it and disrespecting those that came before you.

it is run by idiots it is very simple why would a province with all the oil and gas not be a leader? bad management from the top it is not rocket science

North American Leaders Summit. Where's Mexico?\nThe animation showing people from the Prairies leaving for the USA during the Brain Drain section? That's not a coincidence, btw.

The problem with Canada's economy is that you have unelected leaders like Trudeau who belong to the WEF and want to deliberately DESTROY Canada. Do you honestly think a majority of Canadians voted for that disgrace? GROW UP. Nope, Dominion voting machines = FRAUD. He is the chosen one of the WEF to economically RUIN Canada. Its no secret. What, are you stupid or something? His father did the exact same thing.

Muslim leaders are appalled ? Yes of course there are

As a Canadian here are my views on the problems here:\n1.Government waste/spending\n2. Insane taxes, we literally pay taxes on our tax here. When you add it all up the lower tax brackets after their 15% gst pay about 45% of their income in taxes alone. Provinces like Nova Scotia are disgusting when it comes to the tax they pay. \n3. Easy immigration, we should consider immigrants based on what they can do for Canada, we don't need hundreds of thousands who can't work or refuse to work. It's a strain on the system. The immigration also artificially increases housing costs.\n4.Government corruption, it's part of why the taxes are so high. It's also part of the recent hyperinflation Canada has suffered. Just look up Trudeaus WE charity Scandall or SNC Lavalin Scandal, some even say Trudeau was getting kickbacks from the vaccine which I have yet to see evidence of but I personally believe it. \n5. Politically illiterate voters and propaganda, here in Canada the government likes to keep it's people uninformed and how they do it is through propaganda. The Liberals have every major news source in Canada in their pocket and in order for you to get news that isn't influenced by them you have to specifically search for them by name, those include Rebel News, TFI Global, and True North. Almost everything else is incredibly biased, they selectively report the news and in many cases outright lie. This causes extreme political illiteracy in it's population.\n6. Housing rules, here in Canada there are some really stupid bylaws like the main floor of your primary dwelling must be 900sqft in some areas, plus building codes prevent cheap construction of homes. You could have a tiny home on piers and it wouldn't cost much but because of our laws and codes it's impossible. You need a proper foundation, footings, building permits, ad in order to get a permit you need to submit blueprints, etc. You can't just buy a prefab building set it on piers and live in it. That'd be too easy, that'd make housing affordable and the government wouldn't like that. \n7. Woke indoctrination centers, The public education system here is all about putting in regular kids and pumping out future Liberal voters. It's a mess.\n8. You can't defend yourself, In Canada you aren't allowed to carry a weapon for self defense. If a criminal breaks into your home you are supposed to do everything you can to escape rather than defend your property. Criminals have more protection under the law than the law abiding citizens. \n9. Low wages, because of immigration wages are low compared to the USA for most jobs in most locations\n10. Thigs cost more in Canada than the USA after taking into consideration currency conversion rates, even things manufactured in Canada\n11. The cold. Nobody likes the cold for the 4-6 months of the year that the higher populated areas of the country have it. The more densely populated areas also tend to be the warmest. \n12. Fascist leaders. It's no secret Justin Trudeau and the Liberals are fascists\n13. Governmental links to the WEF, you'll own nothing and you'll be happy or so their add said. The truth is Canadians can afford less and less under Liberal leadership which is no surprise since Justin Trudeau and Chrystia are supporters of the WEF.

Biden needs to talk to our military leaders about this and Venezuela plus other countries to solve the problems there.

We shouldnt have deposed their leaders

Protect this, protect that. American leaders are parasites who only make moves if it means more control or money. Focus on them first before the immigrants . Or they will constantly flow in

Why can't we figure out how to deal with our neighbors. They aren't being good leaders to their people. As Americans, we have to figure out our selves first before others.

Some people have commented about Indian accent, here are the facts. \n\nSo only Indian accent bothers you. Unfortunately, we Indians are the world leaders. For the following reasons with our uncomfortable accent\n1. In the USA, we are less than 1%, and guess what? 6% of the yearly tax of the US is paid by Indians. Look at the statistics. It's all there. \n2. In the US and Canada, most of the hotels, gas stations, and liquor stores are owned by Indians. \n3. CEOs of the tech giants are Indian. \n4. Even UK Prime Minister is Indian. \n5. The winners of spelling bee competitions are Indian kids. \n6. Median family income among Indian Americans between the ages of 25 and 55 was $133,130 in 2019, well above the white median income of $86,400.\nWe don't care about people who could be judgemental. Yes, the accent is not important for anyone who wants to grow. No heartfeelings. I said this just to clear the vision of some people.

It's almost as though leaders in Canada and Australia have been reading from the same script for at least a decade. Whether the looming recession downunder is 'technical' or not, house prices and rentals only seem to keep going up.

The leaders of the Latin American countries should feel so much shame that it is so terrible there that their citizens want to come to America. Do you know how bad it has to be for someone to leave their home forever to go to someplace where half the population hates you because of your skin color?!

Got to be a solution to all this and I know no matter if border is close immigrant always going to come in just try to have a conference with their country leaders since us helping Ukraine

This kind of thing is why housing is so unaffordable now. Though, what people don't understand, is how American policy has made it impossible for some countries in South America to have a stable government or economy. Any time a regime has threatened US profits, usually by making policies that benefit their own people first, we have their leader assassinated, the party eliminated and replaced by dictators and despots friendly to corporate interests. They are fleeing the extreme poverty and violence in regions we intentionally destabilized. This essentially boils down to our own government refusing to harvest our own resources, in favor of exploiting poorer countries.

Pierre Polivare pretends to be a man of the people...Polivare lives in a house we pay for, rides in a limo with a chauffer we pay for. A huge expense account as opposition leader, a six figure salary paid by the Canadian poeple\nPierre Polivare is no man of the people he is a false profit a fraud. Just hate and rhetoric nothing more....

Chhup Jao khalistaniyo raw agents ek ek karke tumhare leaders ko maar rahi hai?\nUnderground ho Jao baccho?

We have an Indian guy as a ndp leader. Are you Happy?

First elect a leader who isn't friendly with Iran or other US enemies, and then we can talk.

UN is the enemy of the people, especially the Black African nations! There is nothing that the Gentiles can do for Dark people at all! \n\nOur leaders are all backstabbing the people dealing with this Mafia organization, and its arms like WHO and more. \n\nWe are warned to come out of her my people in the book of Revelation; which just means to get out of the Gentiles systems and their churches which they have given us like Jesus, God, Allah, Lord, and more! We need to return to our Deity in staying away from theirs. \n\nSo NINI will help us we don't need the gentiles at all!

The Canadian Leader Wore BLACKFACE So Many Times he Couldn't Remember how many times he did it in his Past. JUSTIN TRUDEAU. Just Google BLACKFACE TRUDEAU.

strange africans from the motherland say its a nice place to live if you complaing about white people racism thry african leaders corrupt racism sistemic ,u people would go back and kiss the floor of ur countries

This is what our so called leaders started!

It's time for the Americans to storm the Venezuela border and take over their country since they can't run it properly. We don't need to have a war with these other countries where these refugees are coming from, we just need to take their country from their leaders and make it ours and call it us territory and apply our laws and statutes and civil rights to that country. Where there's a will there's a way. Sometimes you have to fight craziness with bizarre actions, and it works.

Maduro was accusing US when they had the supposed rise in Venezuela a fee years ago. Since then they with the Puerto Rican commies in disguise as center and left and some on the right entrapped the conservative governor of PR . THEY FABRICATED A CASE AGAINST HIM AND MADE HIM RESIGN IN 2018 OR 19.AND THE COMMUNIST LEADERS IN LATJN AMERICA WERE CELEBRATING THAT THEYD BROUGHT DOWN A US GOVERNOR. AS YOU KNOW TGE CO.MIES WITHIN WERE TRYING TO BRING TRUMP DOWN AND DID SO IN 2020. SO STOP BEING NAIVE AND STUPID!!!

people think that America is no good but this is proof that America is great compared to other countries170 countries have invaded our country it goes to prove that America is the greatest country to live in in the world Otherwise why do they come here by the Millions answer because of a little thing called the constitution of America we have the right to live free and their country their suppressed and their leaders control their every move so you should be proud to be an American

*Mexico is rich in oil and gold*\n*The greedy Mexican leaders need to start sharing the wealth with their own people*\nIf they did, maybe they would want to stay home. Greed is keeping them down.

This is what happens when you choose a bad leader

This is a slap to AALL those that came in LEGALLY, this is a slap in the face by OUR FAT CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS who did nothing but yell and scream while doing nothing, this is a slap in the face to AMERICANS who now HAVE TO SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES of higher taxes,worse crimes soon to happen...while OUR government says F*K YOU, SUFFER, TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. They don't care, they're going to make sure THEY HAVE THEIR MONEY...

Leaders of every country need to bust their brains and consistently come up with and implement ways to improve the standard of living in their countries so that no one becomes this desperate to leave for another country....its really heartbreaking to watch especially knowing the fact that children are being affected in more than one ways and they are the future....the cycle needs to break

Any country allowing this has a leader who is derelict of his duties which is to protect their citizens. This is why I respect the Asian countries so much...they would never allow this...they put their citizens first..no trash or homeless on the streets, low crime, their people healthy and prosperous...they are doing something right while US is on a suicide mission... shameful.

If our leaders gave a crap our military would be there. It's another distraction guys. Fight for the kids in school being targeted by the disgusting rain or false pride movement please

i have a idea why not put mexico in some type of deal they country leaders pay us billions n we get half of mexico in exchange of helping they people just a thought ? i’m only 23

Your leaders hate you and want you dead.
