No one is going to do anything and people will keep voting for the liberal/NDP party. If they do something it will hurt someone's feeling.

Our government did this to us, specifically the liberal party with their rampant hubris and corruption. As someone who just turned 20, and watched my country get ruined by these people- I’ll not vote for for that party for MANY years until they start partaking in accountability and stop selling the birthright of our younger generation from right under us.

Our local governments literally tell you to your face and they wanna replace you and I’m not even talking about just white people. I’m talking about native citizens of United States Canada, UK Germany, etc. etc. they wanna have this whole destabilization of the voting blocks so that the government can literally run wild do whatever they want. It’s funny how the “great replacement“ is said to be “deboned“ online yeah it’s literally happening right in front of our faces and our government leaders across the world are just openly saying it even in America. It’s either massive legal immigration from the left or massive H1B visa immigration from the right they literally tell you right to your face that you are either “too lazy“ or “too stupid“ to do some of these jobs meanwhile, there are millions of smart citizens who are not only ready to work, but can do the jobs that the H1B visa people and the illegal immigrants do way better especially because most of the H1B jobs are literally working at a fucking gas station and anything the illegal immigrants are doing especially jobs in construction and labor. American citizens and Canadian citizens do a way better quality job. Never believe the PSYOP of immigrants being “way better workers“ that’s literally just just a flyable objectively untrue. A wise man once said if someone is willing to cheap out on labor, then they are willing to cheap out on the job.

Hindus and Sikhs indulged in violence against each other and saw communal riots in Canada in 2023. Indian govt infact has started assassinating naturalised Canadian citizens from India, who are deemed to be "threat" (tick off the hindu nationalidt govt in power). I know some folks, including my neighbour, who immigrated to Canada right after high School — they take services of immigration agents who have contacts with diploma mills there, get a student visa citing enrollment in a sham educational degree, join a minimum wage job and rig the whole process to attain PR & then citizenship — essentially giving low skilled, poorly assimilated labour the citizenship in Canada under guise of skilled or educated immigration. Even as an Indian, the whole situation is insane and astounding to say the least. Hindu Nationalism has spread its roots & conducts marches in Canada within the Indian Hindu areas like they do here in India and people have started performing river aartis as well (communal prayers to worship rivers) — all kinds of pernicious identitarianism is festering there. A ton of Indian immigrants now see Canada merely as a source to better life & resources, but relate to, & are patriotic towards India or assert their rawer religious Sikh or Hindu identity due to lack of any assimilatory pressure & absence of a well defined Canadian identity. Funniest part is Indians, esp Hindus, who vote for hindu nationalists ushering majoritarian policies in India, cheer for persecution of minorities and justify caste system, suddenly co-opt liberalism & decietfully use its talking points to defend their position as a minority in places they migrate to (they do not believe in so, and don't apply the same standards to themselves). If you wish to blame someone, blame the govt of Canada and its elites. At the end of the day, they wanted cheap manual labour, and opened the gates without much consideration.

Omg. That man on a bike is based af. Someone vote for this man.

I'm Canadian. Immigration is for votes.... Canada needs someone like Trump to clean up our mess. Too much to say. This might not even post...

Two generations ago (50-60 years ago) the Indians who came to Canada, with no family in Canada had excellent qualifications. They had to come with jobs waiting for them in universities, engineering firms, architectural firms and hospitals. The students were Masters or Ph.D. with full scholarship. They went on to build the country but they were minorities fighting the occasional racism on the street (as the woman in the green t- shirt says). Today, as a result of Trudeau's naïveté about the level of corruption in India, there's a huge influx of relatively unqualified Indians arriving and not being able to assimilate into Canadian society because they do not have good job qualifications. They end up living in ghettos and turn to crime. We must fix that by being much more selective of Indian immigrants. As someone of the Indian diaspora, I'd also like to say that there are those Indo Canadians ("brown folks") who want nothing to do with the Brampton or Surrey ghettos. Many of us are completely secular, having no religion and share nothing with these people fighting around temples and yelling at each other in Punjabi or Hindi. We speak English and French and vote in the elections.

Look how peaceful they are. They are model citizens. Your issue with them stems from their skin color and different culture which is just racism. The real problem is the government allowing too many people in. It’s not an Indian issue. Racists want you to think that way but Indians are not a problem. There is a entire ecosystem benefits from illegal immigration: 1) Fake schools and colleges who promise fake degrees 2) Vote-bank politicians on both sides 3) Companies that steal their identities, cram them into small apartments, and use these undocumented immigrants as modern slaves 4) Agencies that forge fake documents for illegals in exchange of money 5) Even legal colleges benefits, because legal immigrants pay a premium on top of college fees, and students also pay rent. 6) There is whole lobby who is funded by all of these Here’s a simple solution: Why not vote for someone who will reduce immigration, rather than being a racist? The whole world is watching. Pakistani saying Indian don't assimilate is f&^king funny. This is prime example how white people are just clueless. Pakistan and India are enemies. we had a 3 day war 4 months ago. Why are you asking pakistani anything about Indians ?

I worked since I was 14, (A lot of times evenings and weekends, several times, two jobs)! I am now 63, I got hurt at work! First I had to fight compensation for a year, ZERO $$$! Then I had to apply to get Disability Canada Pension because I can't physically work anymore.. (damaged back, head injury, I have to use a cane and knee braces to walk)! I spent my savings just surviving while being forced to fight for MY money from my own government for 5 years just to get a measly $300. a month! THAT'S IT! Luckily my spouse works , we paid off our house ten years ago! But, we still barely get by! Every person I speak to about my case with the government on the phone, can barely speak English and yell at me or are VERY impatient with me, because I can't understand THEM, they usually hang up! When I ask to please speak to someone IN Canada, they hang up, then I have to wait another hour to talk to someone else! (I went to 4 government funded agencies to see if I could possibly get a job working from home, because I have trouble getting out! All sent me somewhere else! One agency who is supposed to help disabled people in WPG, REES, the agent refused to talk to me or look me in the eye, * he got a supervisor to talk to me! Because he's Muslim and I'm Gay! They were continuously hostile/aggressive towards me without reason??? I volunteer at 2 different food banks , I've met TONS of people who have never worked a day in their lives, their family, parents, grandparents have never worked... EVER! Yet they have brand new trucks??? Still go to food banks? AND, several new Canadians who I've met, have never worked a day in Canada... Some with new cars??? Yet everyone else receives 10 times what I receive to live on??? I PAID TAXES ALL OF MY LIFE! We can't afford a car! Yet... I don't blame them! I would take it they offered! I blame our government (NDP, Libs, AND CONservatives) who don't give a crap about disabled and seniors in Canada! Or if you paid taxes all of your life , into a system that's supposed to help when you need it! ALL politicians in Canada just whore out their votes! I've volunteered for almost 40 years, also holding down jobs, helping others, I've never seen so may seniors and disabled people forced to access food banks and soup kitchens than the last few years! EVER! Disabled people have to constantly prove they are disabled enough to get kitchen scraps from sociopathic politicians who are over paid and under worked! Fees go up, taxes go up, housing goes up, property taxes go up, bus fairs go up, etc.. Services go WAY down! We can afford trillion$ in corporate welfare, but not help our own? Seniors can't afford to live in their homes anymore! YOU'RE WELCOME for paying for YOUR golden pensions pig politicians, and NOT helping us when we need it! POS!

I was called a Nazi because I suggested the same thing: the more people you have the less resources you have for everyone to go around. I was called a Nazi for saying that. I wasn’t being a Nazi. I was being a mom. Any woman knows this. When you’re single, you can have a whole pie to yourself. You get married, you make a pie and you’ve got well maybe a couple of days worth of food. Add a child everybody eats comfortably but only for one night add a second child somebody’s gotta give up. You know what I mean like it’s just plain math Mathematics so I guess I’m too far left for the right and I’m too far right for the left, I guess. Although I’m not an immigrant, I am a person with disabilities and just recently when we lost the so-called Trudeau tax I wondered why I wasn’t getting it. Then on a Canadian conservative source I heard we weren’t getting it anymore and I was upset. Disgruntled person wrote in the comments section and I quote get over yourself. I think MAID could help you. That didn’t come from a left-wing source as many right wing folks will say that it’s the left who wants to euthanize disabled people. That came from someone from a right leaning source. So writer left nobody wants to pay for anyone to have a free ride, even if the ride isn’t really free. I live on $800 a month and I am much too disabled to work and I don’t have family. In addition, I’ve been told I’m not eligible for rent gear to income, but it’s not like I’m going to get well. Anyway, it seems people don’t like to put out for others and I get it because the folks at the top are always happy to see the little guys tear each other apart. None of our politicians have ever voluntarily Given up a pay cut to support those who can’t work any longer or who never could. That would be the pro life thing to do. They’re always voting themselves big raises.

someone and a lot of people voted for this and look what we have FREE RIDE

Gee…what a surprise! ….NOT! \nThe most toxic person in the world who LOVES to create chaos & division has stirred up a bees nest in countries all around the world. That’s what Trump does. Chaos, division, hard feelings & bitterness are his forté. \nThat’s the leader America has chosen over someone with common sense, intelligence, & who would have tried to unite the American ppl & create an economy that would be stable & help the majority of Americans because Kamala IS like the majority of Americans. She understands the struggle of trying to making a living when you’re not born into wealth like Trump was.\nHe can’t relate to the struggles of the average American family trying to earn enough to provide for their families. He’s never known that struggle. \nAnd why should he care if he causes ppl on both sides of the border to lose jobs, & consequently lose their homes? He’s rich. He can afford the higher costs of everything in both countries that he is initiating. He chose this trade war because he wants to take over Canada. \nWhat is wrong with Americans who thought voting him in AGAIN was a great idea over the common sense & economic stability Kamala Harris offered? He TOLD you he was going to do this. \nYou ppl who voted for him KNEW his past history. He’s a proven liar, a cheat, a fraud, a scammer, a sexist, a predator of vulnerable women, & a convicted felon..\nAnd more than anything else, he’s a BULLY! He uses his words with his bull horn & public media to speak against anyone who opposes him to try to subtly motivate his MAGA hounds to attack the ppl & their families that actually tell the truth about him. And then he steps aside & waits for his minions to respond & acts totally innocent as if he is not responsible because he did not directly tell them to go after the ppl he very purposely speaks hostile about. WAKE UP! He IS responsible because he knows very well his words have power to influence ppl to take action. \nAnd too many cowards in the Supreme Court & Republican party including his own VP Mike Pence were all too afraid to speak up against him. \nIf the majority of Americans want such a toxic person for leader, that’s America’s poor choice but Canada wants NO PART in his BS.\nHands off Canada because we WILL stand united & will support our governments efforts & the efforts of other Canadians to withstand against Trump’s bullying tactics.\nBUY CANADIAN!

America, for the sake of sanity, please please PLEASE VOTE \n\n....and please vote for someone with morals next time!

Unfortunately those that did not vote Trump will be collateral damage but when someone is too proud and arrogant you can’t tell them anything… they have to be humbled by their choices... One thing I learned is ppl have to burn to learn in the country. It’s best for all Trump voter to feel the impact of the choice they made since they hate facts let them experience the truth.

Canada as well as Mexico and China will and must fight back! I don't care so much about china, but Mexico and Canada have been our best trading partners and friends and now we have insulted them. We will deserve what we get because we have elected the most stupid president in the history of the United States. Be prepared to pay higher prices all of those of you who voted for this idiot president Trump. Unfortunately the rest of us who were smart and voted for someone else will have to be punished too!

Someone should do a split screen of Trump giving a speech vs any other world leader giving a speech. I don't know how any can vote for this orange buffoon.

Just to clarify, I didn’t vote for criminal “Trump” at all. So if ur looking for someone to blame for his victory, u can totally point your finger at the people who actually pulled the lever for him! I mean, come on, didn’t they check the fine print? It’s like voting for a mystery box and being surprised when it’s filled with socks! So, sorry Trump fans, but this mess is all on you! \n“Let America Great My A$$ again”

Can someone remind this idiot that all of America voted for our government to do this very thing? ?

As a citizen of the US, I am very sorry for what is happening. As someone from the west coast, know I did not want this nor did I vote for it.

To all Canadian's, I did not vote for him and tried to convince others of how bad his was, but here we are. I love Canada. I have been to Canada several times and the people have been so warm and welcoming. It is beyond sad to see this happening. He's a traitor and I don't understand why someone can't arrest him and his gang of thugs. Trust me there are a lot of people here who do not want this. I'm a 71 yr. old with lots of medical issues. I wish I could have done more to stop this. I've always wanted to see Banff. Hopefully, one day I will be welcomed back.

A clown who could not answer questions properly now has got written text from someone who can better say it.\n\nBut calling others dictator is his first hypocrisy as he himself is. He is a swine who will bend for vote. This is his theatrics to gain vote

As someone who voted for trump …..WTF did I do????

Can we vote for him as the next president? He actually sounds like someone who cares.

Honestly… I’d vote for Justin.. cause America needs someone like him.. Trump is just.. exhausting…

There has to be someone like Trudeau in America that could be president. Maybe the US should become Canada, not the other way around. I would vote for that.

Canada, the American people don't want this and a lot of Trump supporters didn't want this either. I'm sorry that y'all too have to suffer and deal with a man that doesn't lead your country. Believe me I would swap with y'all tomorrow. \n\nIt's amazing how Canada came up with how many billions for border patrol but we can't get Congress to pass a bill. President Biden tried to get a bill through Congress within his first 100 days and they wouldn't pass it then either. We have scanners sitting at the Mexican Border that will detect Fentanyl but Congress would approve using them either. Everyone needs to find out how their Representative voted on that bill and make sure they are not in office next time. \n\nI don't know how this man got elected but I feel like Musk and Starlink helped him win. I just heard that Starlink is what was used to send the results in the swing states. Musk told someone an hour before polls closed that Trump was the winner, with his evil laugh and let's not forget Trump telling his supporters that they didn't need to vote cause he will win without them. That's fishy. \n\n\nY'all what do we do if he won't leave office? What do we do then? I know he just got in the White House but it's never too early to have a plan to get him out. They worked on Project 2025 for 4 years and now it's all falling into place. OMG! What are we going to do?

This whole nightmare is like someone drinking poison and others dying along with them. If only those who voted for this foolishness could be the only ones affected by it ?

I Vote that the PM of Canada will run for US president until the election of 2028. At least he is smarter then someone who is Trash in the White House

They should just have a vote for our people if we want this or not. Honestly after he said the 97% stuff…. I’m very confused now. It’s almost like…. It just goes deeper. \nLike there has to be a big picture hidden from all of us, unless someone can explain. \nHonestly, let’s see what happens. Good luck everyone :3

Sounds like someone who is also not thankful what we do for your country and people honestly fuck canada i voted for trump and i will spend more of my hard earned money if prices increase idgaf make america great again .

I will never understand how so many Americans thought it was a good idea to vote for someone who’s clearly stupid and who lies about practically everything. How? The whole world watched this horror show and knew exactly what was happening. \nI will never understand how anyone can trust a narcissistic idiot like Donald. This pathetic excuse of a man makes me sick. ?

This dude is married to a man, froze bank accounts of people who simply voted for someone else. He also took guns away and won't just step down and disappear. \nSo yea..... He's the last one to listen too lol ??? \nThe USA would crush him.

I am a US citizen and I'm proud of you Canada ??. I didn't vote for the idiot in the WH and neither did none of my friends and family. This move by the current POTUS is more like orders he got from somewhere else ??. He's to stupid to think of anything himself and he doesn't read anything unless someone tells him.

Oh, make no mistake,, Trump doesnt care about phent. why would he care about an addict, or an overdose from a someone who doesnt vote,,, Stop it!

Europe has just announced an 800 billion Euro defence plan; I bet they’d be very interested in Canada’s critical minerals. Canadians will not forget this; this has damaged our relationship with the U.S. and it may never recover. We cannot forget that Americans voted this man back into power knowing who and what he is; they somehow believed that he was magically going to lower the cost of eggs, end a war and save the economy. Canadians will never trust that Americans won’t again elect someone so stupid and pathetically unfit to lead their country; we have to start cutting the trade ties now so that we will never be this vulnerable again. I do agree with Dumpty that we need to pull our weight militarily, so we need to invest in our security and we also need to align ourselves with Europe since Dumpty is clearly aligning the U.S. with Russia.

I just moved from my California home state for the second, but just to let you know Canada i'm with you!! This trade war with these countries, are ridiculous but only to line, and continue to line the pockets of billionaires like Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and the tech family..... Trump has tried to stay close to Putin, but no one asks why?? We're not at war with Russia? He's been wanting the wealth Putn has every since he, and his wife visited in 1983.. He loves their minerals, and i ask President Zenlensky, if he signs that mineral agreement be careful how it's worded!!! J D Vance had know right to speak to Zelensky in that manner!! Trump, needed an education in government before he ran for any office, it's laws, etc... he's embarrassing when he speaks, calling other government officers stupid, and the like, like a child in school!! Why doesn't someone fact check Donald Trump vs Joe Biden with the things he's done vs the things Donald did while in office, as Biden knowing the law vs Trump as what he could do as a US President, not running this country like he runs his business!! I'm Georgia now, and still wouldn't voted for that man....!!!

That’s what happens when you elect someone like trump and whoever voted for him enjoy inflation !

As a Liberal and someone who votes Democrat, Canada I am so sorry. Please know that this is NOT what we voted for, and NOT what we want. Fully Half of Americans know that trump IS SO WRONG AND INCREDIBLY EVIL, we're just waiting for the other half of America to wake the ₣⨆¢₭ UP. But they are a ₷₸⨆₽|₫ lot and we don't know how long it will take. We are also waiting for the rest of LAZY Americans to get to the POLLS AND VOTE in the next election.

Americans voted for it and you GOT IT! THIS is unbelievable! The America with no friends! :( Canada's leader is smart, strong, brave, handsome and they are super lucky to have someone like him. This is NOT going to end well. :(

Trump was telling his MAGA Republicans that Canada is not a viable country without USA and that they subsidize Canada - Does trump know the difference between trade deficits, surplus and subsidizes??? I have never heard such an UNINTELLIGENT Leader as Trump - someone who is actually a Leader of Country - he is either ininformed or an outright LIER ?? How can anyone with even half a brain vote for that to represent them?? And now we also witness he is a BULLY. Unbelievable!!!!

I'm so jealous of Canada rn. They have a competent leader. This is insane that tRump keeps attacking our ALLIES AND SIDING WITH FCKIN RUSSIA AND NORTH KOREA!! I'm disgusted at the people who voted for this bafoon and our government and the Republicans who won't find a damn backbone and save our country from this evil pos. I can't be mad at Trudeau or Canada, were fully in the wrong. & The way he's placating trump at the end is hilarious cause he knows being fully honest will make trump the pentulent toddler have a big tantrum. Someone help us. Y'all just couldn't let Kamala win. We would be in much better hands. Y'all suck. As an American I absolutely stand w Canada! Trump is wrong!!!

Im not saying Trumps a Russian asset...but if someone were to be one...theyd use his playbook. Pulling out of Ukraine aid, voting with Russia interest in NATO, trade wars with our closest allies....Putin..release the pee pee tapes so we can go back to normal already.

1/2: Myself and the saner half of the US that read, understood, and voted against Proj 2025 understands why they need to levy retaliatory tariffs especially as a Michigander who's lived less than 4 hours from Canada all her life, who has family in Quebec and Ontario, and is a job-seeking policy professional and international trade nerd who now cannot in good faith seek a job in the federal government. We have been looking and still do look to Canada as a model quite a bit and love Canada and Canadians to pieces. We Michiganders especially in the central and eastern UP and Detroit and Ann Arbor area are friends, coworkers, and family of Canadians. Some are even dual citizens. It is sad that it's come to this. \n\n2/2: I still personally just can't wrap my head around how a trade deal Trump put together himself and called the best (the USMCA in question) is all of a sudden so bad. Logic doesn't work with these types of people... I really want **someone!!** to ask him/ admin officials about the USMCA **to their face** and see what they say because I am so upset by this nonsensical and corrupt administration.

This man truly doesn't do a thing but lie and create turmoil through his disinformation . Someone boot his pathetic lying ass out for government already wake up Canada u voted in a dictator

Someone i know didn't vote for Harris because she said Harris scared her..wonder how she feels now!

I am gobsmacked with all the comments left on here from Americans standing with Canada... that's the way it should be however, how in the hell did that SOB get into office yet again if everyone is saying they did not vote for him. America had the opportunity to have someone sitting in The Whitehouse that would clearly better their country instead .......You have this.

We love you Canada. We wish our President was someone else. In spite of my single vote, all I can do is hang my head. Please do not think Trump speaks on my behalf. I am smarter.

When I was growing up in Canada, hearing of someone being a “Proud American” was something I admired. Today it’s a punch line to a joke about the American education system. They have nothing left to be proud of, and I’m so thankful to be from this country instead. Trump administration or not, the American people can not be trusted to vote in their own self interest, let alone the interests of the allies that stood with them for the last century and who have lost lives sending men and women over seas to answer the American call for friendship, justice, and loyalty. America wants to stand alone so let them. The global order is shifting, and Canada needs to plan accordingly. Don’t listen to what people say, watch what they do, and Americans have done enough.

You never know what is going on behind the curtains! \nMaybe this is all set up by Trump and Trudeau to bring him up again because people started to hate Justin Trudeau! \nJust like the way Trump hired someone to shoot him to his ear to push people to feel bad for him, love and respect him and vote for him after that!!! And... Unfortunately it worked perfectly !\nLet's see what will happen to Justin Trudeau after all of these go away and everything goes back to normal again \nI really don't see any signs of stress on Justin Trudeau's face and skin at all. \nHe is fresh, shiny and happy inside. \nDo you remember his appearance during the pandemic?

Very good speech. All true and i cant wait to see the criminal trump to get boo'ed out of the oval office . Seldom have i seen someone as stupid as him and seldom have i seen such stupid measures that destroy not others but only and mostly americans.\n\nGod bless america to never vote again for the dummest guy in the country
