What about the other 5 million..smoke & mirrors

Smoke and mirrors! This is a drop in the bucket compared to the hundreds of thousands that should never have been let in the door..... Retired LEO.

I support Canada but not Trudeau , he is just smokes and mirrors…I think as soon as his govt falls and new govt forms USA will negotiate a deal with Canada and trade will return to normal …

Trudeau's words are smoke and mirrors a bit imo. Liberals will go forward with an additional 20% carbon tax dispitie the tariffs occurring. Trump isn't the only one that is harming Canada in one way or another. Trump is forcing Canada to do better with our borders and crisis's that had not been addressed quickly enough. We (Canada) allowed these issues to get out of hand and it took another country to tell us that we needed to do better because the issues affect them as well. I'm stating facts here and now we Canadians will suffer for all of it.

*TWICE impeached CONVICTED CRIMINAL tRUmp is in the WH to save his rear from prison and to line his and his cronies like muskRat pockets...* Just like ANY DICTATOR! The rest is SMOKE and MIRRORS!

I assure you Mr Trudeau we will win the trade war. You are a fool look what you have done to your people already? Smoke and mirrors

This is the sort of clear minded speech I love to hear. Direct, truthful and aimed at the people who are going to end up most hurt by all of this - the Americans themselves. Europe as always, is wishy washy. Appease, appease, appease, and while Starmer behaved in a diplomatically correct way, as usual he is all smoke and mirrors. No substance to him at all.

What Trump is doing is smoke and mirrors. He thinks these news reports from CNN are fake news. These things are distrations. He thinks his followers believe he is truly making America great. The Nazis are running, i mean ruining this country

Ukranian here. Dont be fooled by this Prime Minister. Study him and you will be shocked. Smoke and mirrors

Such a smart man, I wish we had him for President! Not the uneducated stupid clown we have! People! Don’t be fooled, this isn’t about fentanyl! Watch closely people, this is Dump smoking mirrors into stealing from all of us! And in the meantime we will be paying the price for his stealing!!!

Trump can’t make poo-tin ??do anything so he turns on a soft target Ukraine ,Canada and Mexico are smoke and mirrors to make Europe tow the line ,Russia is paying for all that Trump does ,poo-tin wants the Baltic states if he is allowed to win in Ukraine he will have a ready made army to fight the rest of Europe curtsey of Donald Trump and the evil behind him Vance and Musk just remember if Trump dies in office who becomes leader of the so called free world .

The drug and immigration issue is smoke and mirrors. Don’t buy into it. You have a narcissist who looks for issues to motivate his moronic followers. Who , by the way are for the most part well off and affluent.\nJust not well educated and not well versed on the problems of the World. \nMuch as I dislike my present Prime Minister…he is still my Prime Minister and not your Governor.\nHe is fallible because he is a caring human and a sympathetic leader who has tried to make it right for so many.\nCanada is a country of hope not a country of opportunity at the expense of others.\nOur leaders answer to us the people not to rich autocrats.

Clear communication. Thank you. I am deeply frustrated by what the US administration is doing. Smoke & mirrors hiding devastating long-lasting effects.

the excuse of fentanyl is smoke and mirrors and only Turmps mind fucked followers believe this crap

There is a chin scratcher do I care less about what Trudeau thinks or do I care less about CNNs ability to translateEnglish into English. A real network would peel back the details of JTs smoke and mirrors.

Thank you for exposing more smoke and mirrors from our polticians ! Both sides of the isle !

I wonder who the ring leader is on that clearly orchestrated move and what made such a large group do this ( were they paid ?) democrats and deep state are just trying to use smoke and mirror screens to slow down DT and use anything and everything to overthrow law and order

American here, Trump is what happens when you elect dumb and dishonest people to run your government. This is all just ' smoke and mirrors ' to make the rich richer and the rest of us poorer.

Smoke and mirrors. You can`t beleive anything goming from this government.

It should be obvious why: immigration has become an issue for the Trudeau Liberals, so to attempt to placate the voters, they announce reductions in immigration. Smoke and mirrors. If re-elected, watch immigration rise again and watch the Liberals belittle and isolate anyone who disagrees with them.

Its all smoke and mirrors people, why would you believe JT now??? He's been lying to you for 10 years. Do you really think he is going to lower immigration or deport anybody?? then you are a fool, fool me once....When he states his goal is 100 million by 2100 believe him, this is all pandering for votes.

As per usual , more smoke and mirror proproganda by the Liberals to cover up their failures!

Oh please!!! Smoke and Mirrors plp don't be gulible This is a PLANNED very temporary chess move, which if passes will absolutely be REVERSED

Is the right really the ones weaponizing this though? What has caused us to have such mistrust? Is it all smoke and mirrors from the right? Brainwashing?

No Wonder, the Canadian Government, and their Star Boy Justin is obsessed with OPTICS. It is all Smoke and Mirrors. \nCitizens have to ALWAYS be critical of the Government they elect. After all, the Government MUST WORK FOR the Citizens, and Not the other way around. \nInstead, the Canadian Government is a self-fulfilling organism that keeps growing to justify its existence and assert its hollow dominance. \nInterestingly, the moment there are even signs of an uprising, the Canadian Governement clamps down the protestors, but it is quick to lecture other countries on the right to dissent and free speech. Hypocrisy?

Canada hid its inflation in the housing market for a decade. The economy appeared to be growing, and real wages appeared to be staying in line with the consumer price index, but it was smoke and mirrors. If you removed real estate, GDP was stagnant. Wages were actually falling behind and people getting poorer and poorer without realising it. That’s finally become unsustainable, and inflation is showing up everywhere. And the wages are still stuck. The country is sitting on hugely valuable resources it could develop had it not put so many self-created political barriers in the way, and having indoctrinated their population about it along the way. Separately, The healthcare system is getting worse, consistently ranking 2nd last in the OECD in terms of real results delivered. The biggest problem is that the country’s economy is built on immigration to drive growth, rather than productivity, efficiency, or innovation. The more people you bring in, the more housing you need, but they’re at the point that they can’t keep up and people can hardly afford housing anyways. It’s a recipe for disaster. I left Canada by coincidence, having met someone from another country and moved there. I’m glad I left.

You have to understand what is driving this. The Lieberals in Canada are similar to the Demoncrats in the USA. They want this immigration to continue indefinitely, for political reasons. In Canada, the vast majority of immigration is from brown people coming from India. These people multiply like rabbits in heat, the Lieberals assume that is how they will e land their electoral base moving forward. One Indian woman in heat can start having kids at 16 and older, unlike our native population of millennials, who would rather have pets rather than children. And of course the Lieberals assume all these brown people will overwhelmingly vote for them moving forward. In the USA, it’s brown people coming in too, but these are Hispanic browns, and they are mostly coming in illegally. Demoncrats see all this illegal immigration as a way to increase their voting base moving forward. Don’t believe what Truduh is saying about this, he’s simply blowing smoke and mirrors.

Smoke ? and Mirrors ??Smh

Biden and the democrats are responsible for all of the human trafficking, people murdered, sexually assaulted, killed and assaulted due to his policies regarding illegal immigration. Should of built the wall and allowed them to come in legally through proper channel to ensure Americans safety. All smoke and mirrors they just went down the street and crossed.

All this smoke and mirrors with differing opinions on the situation here in the comments.. But the REALITY is SIMPLE…this is against our laws or really any states law and it is just that!…INVASION-USING HARMFUL FORCE AGAINST AMERICANS!

How were the cops ready with barricades when it was a surprise?? More smoke and mirrors

So really nothing has changed. More smoke and mirrors by the Trudeau government.

We never needed the US permission to close it down. We are a souvenir nation. This was just smoke and mirrors by Trudeau who was the cause of the problem from day one when he told people they could cross wherever. We never had this problem before Trudeau. Period. Thanks to Pierre for pushing this issue. A true leader.

Lol define closed maybe put up fence. That sign wont do much and what happens when jails filled? Release on a promise.. smoke and mirrors.

This is literally smoke and mirror BS that was pulled... This sham of a process essentially remains unchanged and for whatever reason the bulk of these people are being transported to FREE Hotels in Niagara Falls ONTARIO of all places!??\nGo LOOK THAT UP... Roxum Rd. crossers are being put up completely on the Taxpayer dime in Niagara Falls.. 1,000's of them!

I'd be glad if my country's politics were boring. That's because politicians do their job properly instead of smoke and mirrors. Sadly it's not a case for Poland - they really pull off pathetic shitshow for the masses.

Smoke and mirrors from CBC
