Indians don't wanna live in India, wanna criticize Canadian values while implementing Indian ones yet refuse to go back. If you aren't gonna fully assimilate, please stay where you are. If you are coming to another country respect THEIR values, THEIR culture and THEIR laws. There's a reason u left your country, think abt that shit bro. I'm Indian I was brought up in Ontario and Alberta and holy shit Im embarrassed of what Indians have become.

If I was the government of India I would be embarrassed.. I'm on my best behavior in another country.. it's all about respect

I have only one question.. why is the government allowing them into the country ? What is the reason and who is it benefiting??? As I commented before , my parents came to Canada in 1966 I was just a baby , Canada had endless jobs in manufacturing, and especially in the construction sector , I will say that immigrants back then , Italians , and Portuguese really built this country , the men and women worked sometimes two jobs , no hand out from the government , no sick days , Canada was beautiful growing up , .. that’s how I remember it , other immigrants followed , from Poland , and then the Indians started to come in by the 80”s .. fast forward to now , I’m embarrassed of our country , it’s disgraceful and disgusting, the transition from back then to now , I feel like I’m living in India , dirty , scammers , gangs , thief’s , murders , ignorant , entitlement; disrespectful etc .. facts , one thing that I can’t wrap my head around is the language barrier , why are these people working in customer service ? Why are they dealing with the public ??? Why are they in the health care industry, nurses , doctors etc , when they can’t speak the language???? Why are they accepted in these highly skilled positions? Just because you have the skill ? Isn’t knowing the language and being able to communicate a requirement regardless what job you have ? Why is the government allowing them in this country and then paying for them to have all these resources available to them ? Why ?? We need to start helping the people that have contributed to this country , that paid taxes and their dues FIRST … we do not have enough affordable housing , jobs , hospitals ,etc .Canada has falling , they are a financial strain on this country , it needs to STOP.. this isn’t the 60”s anymore Canada is to the max , no opportunity here anymore , send them back !

I'M AN ASIAN IMMIGRANT WHO IS TOTALLY EMBARRASSED AND ASHAMED OF THESE NEW MASSIVE ASIAN IMMIGRANTS THAT BRING SHAME AND EMBARRASSMENT TO THIS WONDERFUL AND GIVING COUNTRY, AND TO HARD-WORKING, LAW-ABIDING IMMIGRANTS OF YESTER-YEARS. CANADA OUGHT TO REASSESS ITS PROTOCOLS & STANDARDS REQUIREMENTS SURROUNDING IMMIGRATION. I WOULD START BARRING ANYONE WITH CRIMINAL RECORDS - NO EXCEPTIONS, WHILE DEPORTING THOSE WHO COMMITTED CRIME IN THIS COUNTRY ! I PERSONALLY APOLOGIZE TO ALL CANADIAN CITIZENS AT LARGE FOR THESE UNDESIRABLE IMMIGRANTS.

I’m embarrassed living in the country. Still proud to be in America, it’s just disgusting to see what is going on. All of us do not agree with this and many other terrible things that are going on. I stand with Canada. This current US administration is a disgrace.

Trump is not a politician, but a business man. US needs to reconfigure the rules on who can govern our country. I'm embarrassed to have Donald as our representative.

I’m ashamed to even call myself a US citizen. For the 78 million people that voted for trump, f*ck you to hell. I am so ashamed of this country. We’re a damn joke and I don’t have any pride in my US passport. This is so embarrassing.

I’m an American, but I am not feeling very safe in my own country. I do not like what is going on. I feel very helpless and concerned about what the future holds. I am with Canada, and Ukraine. I am embarrassed and ashamed of our government and what is happening.

I’m so embarrassed for my country ?

As an American I'm so ashamed and embarrassed. Please know this person does not support this. I think something hinky happened with this election because the country I have grown up in does not condone this. I don't know how to stop this, I don't know what is going to happen and I'm scared. This isn't the America I know and I know I'm not alone in this. Please know this isn't the people.

Trudeau, my brother, My words cannot begin to express to you or your people just how genuinely sorry I am for my country's utterly repulsive and inexcusable behavior throughout the last month and a half and for the downright cruel, hostile treatment you've suffered at the hands of the most incompetent, greedy, poorly educated, narcissistic, racist, sexist, xenophobic buffoon to ever preside over the United States. Not only is Donald Trump an overly privileged, pathetic, whiney crybaby who literally folds his arms, stomps his feet, and launches an all out temper tantrum whenever he doesn't get his way or when someone else has the TV remote, he is a dangerously delusional, high stakes risk taker who wouldn't think twice about using his own mother or child as a human body shield if he thought his life were in danger. There is absolutely no value, principle, moral or ethic he wouldn't betray without hesitation if he suspects there is anything at all to be gained - you know, the type of guy who would poison the entire neighborhood in order to hoard all the complimentary tampons and lip gloss samples from his neighbors' mail boxes just to ensure that he got first dibs on everything before anyone else. Incidentally, he is also the same type of guy who pockets all the flavored mini coffee creamers from the gas station and all the paper bed sheets and Qtips from the doctor's office. I wouldn't put it past him to steal the waitresses' tips off tabletops on his way out the door upon leaving McDonald's. In fact, I would bet everything that he steals the donation jars for Jerry's Kids at the local supermarket. I mean, its already a given that he is likely the guy who filed a lawsuit a few summers back against a sweet, innocent littls FOUR year old boy for having a lemonade stand on property not zoned for commercial use. If it wasn't Trump then I'm sure it's only because he was too busy ordering the National Guard to power hose and pepper spray the 30 or so elderly nuns who had been distributing bottled water to folks demonstrating in support of Black Lives Matter on the hottest day of the year. Satisfied in his victorious battle against the nuns - 9 of whom had been hospitalized for critical injuries including the 92 year old Mother Superior who suffered massive brain bleed, swelling and concussion due to the excessive force of the power hose and an 87 year old nun who lost permanent sight in one eye due to the pepper spray - Trump had the nerve to pose for a publicity shot in front of the church while holding a Bible - UPSIDE DOWN - and scrunching and contorting his face into that hideous trademark scowl he does ever so naturally. Yep. This is the man my fellow Americans chose to represent our nation as President - a man who beats up 90 year old nuns and imposes 25% tax hikes to our ONLY FRIEND in the entire world simply for refusing to accept his invitation for statehood. I mean, come on, Trudeau, is that really asking too much of you? Was it really worth bruising Donny's fragile little ego and sending him into a fit of rage? (Seriously, though, I suspect he really does feel as though you are in the wrong for refusing to humor his delusions and thus embarrassing him in front of all his Russian dictator and Ku Klux Klan buddies.)\nOnce again, I do humbly apologize and I promise I will support whatever actions you choose to take and I will help you in any way you deem is best. \nMuch love and peace always, \nMs. S. Delois Jackson

I never imagined that I’d hate this country, hate living in it, and be embarrassed to say that I’m an american [lowercase ‘a’ intentional].\n❤?? ❤?? ❤?? ~ ???

I’m so ashamed and embarrassed of my country. And envious of countries who actually believe in supporting, protecting and respecting its citizens. I want to leave here so much everyday. I’m scared.

We're all so disgusted and saddened about all of this. You're so right about everything that you're saying about trump; Putin has his puppet in this country and he's making the most of it, by helping trump to become dictator here. Please Canada, do what you have to do, we don't want this either; we're stuck with trump until our congress grows a spine and kicks this ugly, vindictive man out of office! Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau, you are what is needed in this crisis! I'm glad to be a Canadian, I just wish I was living there, not here. What a total embarrassment to us all that did not vote for trump. (from Sandi Paquet)

Dear Canadians. I’m embarrassed for my country and so sorry our President is a POS.

Trump's going to bankrupt the U.S. just as he has many of his businesses. As an American, I can't wait to move up to Canada. I'm absolutely embarrassed to be a born and raised American citizen. I'm embarrassed and ashamed by many other fellow citizens and by the choices the current government is making. I'm also continually perplexed and ashamed by the continued mistakes our country continues to make every damn year and decade.

As an American, it's refreshing to hear someone speak intelligently from a leadership position. Well done Sir, stand your ground. I'm embarrassed to be an American and scared at what the next 3.75 years is going to bring to our country.

I wish I was Canadian. I'm embarrassed to be an American. How stupid can the people in this country be to elect a felon, rapist and liar?

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....!!!

I'm an American. I'm so embarrassed about how our country is being run. Canada, I'm with you 100%. You do what needs to be done, even if it makes my life more difficult.

Good! This is what trumps gets! He wants to be a dictator and start threatening other countries to get what he wants! I’m glad countries are fighting back! Being an American is becoming embarrassing!

American here too. I'm with Canada. And I'm so embarrassed with our country.

As an American, it was so refreshing to hear an intelligent, articulate, real leader speak. I’m so embarrassed at the state of our country. Truly can’t believe this is happening right now. I stand with Canada ??

Trump’s actions make me embarrassed to be an American. He does not represent who we are or what we believe. As far as I’m concerned, he is a rouge, traitorous, self serving, pathological lying cancer on our country and on the world.

Sorry half the people in this country are idiots and their leader, I'm embarrassed and agree with you 0

I’m embarrassed for my country. I stand with Canada, Mexico, and Ukraine. Please stand fast while we suffer through this absurd and dangerous man.

I'm an American and am ashamed and embarrassed by my country that is run by the wanna be Dictator Trump!

I'm so embarrassed by what Trump is doing to this country! I stand with Canada ??

Dear Canada...I am so embarrassed (and worried) to be an American. Trump and his cronies don't speak for me or my family. I'm really afraid of where our country is heading.

I’m American and I want to know the real reason why Trump is doing this. I believe we will never know. He’s such an embarrassment to our country.

I’m so embarrassed of my country, the USA, right now. We want you to know many of us do not support Trump!

I’m embarrassed to be an American. I have no president! There is a dictator in action now and he will destroy our country. Mental illness is obvious!

Canada, Mexico, Germany and other countries who are getting caught up in the orange turd of a president's mess. He's not my president and just so you know I've never voted for him. I'm so embarrassed to be an American right now... I promise 50% of U.S voters are idiots the other half of us understand economics, the importance of allies and we're generally nice/smart people. #trumpsucks

As an American, I’m embarrassed and ashamed of what has transpired. Trump is a FN joke of a president and EVERYONE KNOWS IT. I’m with you Canada ?? alongside Ukraine ??. I hope they realize that Trump doesn’t represent what most sane Americans want as a country.\nRespect to Trudeau , that’s what leadership looks like.

Sings great but no Trudy you haven’t done big things and don’t get to take credit for the good men that came before you. Good job taking the opportunity given here however I see another limp D trying to save his embarrassing career. But good for you getting all these gullible people to buy it. Half truths do not make the truth whole. 75 years of industrial decline aren’t getting fixed with friendly assurances and happy trade deals. During WW2 everyone lived on food rations, turned in all metals, kept their old cars running etc… and y’all are upset because inflation means you have to make some tough choices? I’m ashamed of every American that refuses to try something new since the last 50 years of the same old back and forth is what got us here in the first place. Obstruction and diversion. Division. Both parties are responsible. If Donald wants to destroy the faith of his faithful… let him. But going radical against half the country’s people isn’t going to end well for anyone. We should stop giving the rich all the cards.

I’m so sorry for my country. I am embarrassed and don’t agree with any of this.

Nothing Trump does makes sense. He’s an utter embarrassment. He’s making our country look like a backwards, oppressive, “pile of garbage”. If any MAGA bothered to research is life back to the 70’s and 80’s they’d find Trump was NEVER good at business. He was good at running them into the ground. He hasn’t a republican cell in his body. He doesn’t care which party or what ideology anyone is, so long as they’re naive and ignorant enough to buy his lies and bullshit. It’s just all about Trump. Everything he’s doing is contrary to making America great. Ironic that there are many so-called Christians who support him, when he fits the biblical description of the Antichrist a bit too well. It’ll take decades to restore America’s standing in the world, because that narcissistic, bloated, power-hungry, piece of shit wants to keep attention centered on him. He’s doing all he can to keep us stupid, and brainwashed, because anyone who’s intelligent, and has any level of critical thinking poses a threat. When will the orange Kool aid wear off?…and btw, I’m not a liberal. I’m not a democrat. I’m rational.

I'm embarrassed for my country, the USA. I am glad Canada has people who will fight for their interests in the face of this insane ego trip they are subjected to.

as a navy veteran, I'm embarrassed with our country's representation during this war on our allies...........

Canada President was right about protecting his country, but his wrong about Trump, he not a smart guy….. he’s a Russian sympathizer trying to take over the world….. I’m embarrassed to have him as our president United States.

As a disabled US Veteran I did NOT vote for this administration. I do not want these tarrifs. And I feel sad for our country. This is not what our country stands for. This isn't our agenda. I feel ashamed and embarrassed by the country's actions in the last month. I'm sorry Canada and Mexico. There are other ways to deal with these issues and tarrifs are not it. People are only now realizing the HUGE mistake they made.

Trump is an absolute disgrace. Worst president since James Buchanan. Never in my life have I been more embarrassed for my country. As far as Trump, I didn't vote for that bastard but I'm still embarrassed and ashamed...

As an Indian, I’m embarrassed too with their stubborn behaviour + bad English. Most of them were just to get PR, I myself worked my ass off for more than 3years to get PR. But I wanna love here with Canadian values and diversely not with same old ppl and rules. That’s why we move to different country so plz only allow the one respect Canada and it’s culture ??

Thank you for your service. I'm embarrassed of our country

As a Canadian born and raised I’m so embarrassed and yeah Justin TruDON’T is an ass and our country is yeah looking bad

I'm Canadian and I'm embarrassed for our country.....

I'm not at all in support of whatever Indians are doing in Canada just saw a news they are protesting increasing their permit or whatever to 5 years (its 3 years usually from what I saw in those videos) when it is about to expire... isn't it embarrassing to do all that in other country ? \n\nAlso Indians blame each other Punjabi's did it or Gujrati's but they should know foreigners don't see them as Gujrati's or Punjabi's they see us as Indians plus south Indians are on next level I saw a comment saying don't include south Indians when you say Indians like bruh does that even make sense? then just call yourself South and not south 'Indian'

I’m Indian, born and raised in Canada. My parents came here in 1994 and they made the best decision for our future. We adjusted to Canadian culture and have respect for the country that gave us opportunity. It makes me disgusted seeing my own kind come here and make a mockery of such a good country. It’s embarrassing to be lumped into this mess when my family did it the right way. If you wanted to be in India you should have just stayed there. \nI carry a lot of shame just being associated with them.

I had people come live with me from the Middle East, and within the month they realized how disgusting and poor canada is. Imagine that people from lebanon (a country where there's no work) has better living condition than Canada. The world is starting to realize canada and USA are not what people think. You can't afford food,cars, gas, bills. What an embarrassing country. I'm telling you 10-15 years canada will be a 3rd world country

I'm Canadian, I'm embarrassed about the rampant racism in Canada and I've since moved out of my beautiful country because of it
