Liberals are doing a great job just look at how much they have spent. That's the metric that the liberals think matters.

The Liberals are brilliant thieves. They’ve managed to pull off over a decade of self-funded corruption. They use taxpayer money to buy media, influence institutions, and protect themselves from accountability. Canadians are literally paying for their own political manipulation. Liberals = the most corrupt government in Canadian history (33 listed below and counting): Green Slush Fund (SDTC) – $1B+ in questionable clean-tech grants SNC-Lavalin Affair – Political interference in criminal prosecution ArriveCAN App – ~$60M for a basic travel app WE Charity Scandal – ~$912M contract to connected insiders Phoenix Pay System – $3.5B+ and still failing McKinsey Consulting Contracts – $500M+ outsourced policy work Foreign Interference Scandal – Intelligence warnings ignored Organized Crime & B.C. Money Laundering – Triad-linked casino and real estate laundering Fentanyl & Opioid Crisis – Border failures and weak enforcement Aga Khan Vacation Ethics Breach – Illegal luxury trip Randy Boissonnault Scandal – Business ties and lobbying questions Investing in Canada Plan – ~$92B in poorly tracked infrastructure spending PMO / Telford Staff Scandals – Obstruction and document withholding Bill Morneau Controversies – WE ties, pension conflicts Paul Chiang Controversy – Foreign interference allegations Unlawful Emergencies Act Use (Trucker Convoy) – Bank accounts frozen, later ruled illegal Firearms Buyback Fiasco – Projected $2B–$6B and counting Mark Carney / Brookfield Conflicts – Offshore tax structures, revolving-door politics Chrystia Freeland Ukraine Funding Controversy – Oversight concerns Baylis Medical Ventilator Contract – ~$237M contract awarded to a firm owned by a former Liberal MP for COVID-19 equipment. Mary Ng Ethics Breach – Multiple government contracts directed to a close personal friend and media personality. Dominic LeBlanc Ethics Breach – Awarding a lucrative Arctic surf clam license to a company linked to his wife’s family. NSICOP "Traitor" MP Allegations – National intelligence reports of sitting MPs "wittingly" collaborating with foreign hostile states. Admiral Mark Norman Prosecution – A failed $50M legal battle involving alleged political interference in a naval procurement contract. Han Dong Controversy – Resignation from caucus following allegations of CCP involvement in his nomination and conduct. Governor General Expense Scandals – ~$1.3M in luxury travel, high-end catering, and secretive villa renovations under Payette and Simon. PBO Carbon Tax Gag Order – Government blocking the Budget Officer from releasing internal data showing the tax’s true economic hit. GC Strategies $250M Windfall – Total federal contracts awarded to the two-person ArriveCAN firm since 2015 across multiple departments. Public Health Agency (PHAC) Missing Data – Intentional destruction of emails and documents related to the Winnipeg Lab security breach. Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) RCMP Probe – Formal criminal investigation into 186 cases of alleged conflicts and $390M in funding. "The Other Randy" Business Scandal – Investigation into text messages suggesting a Cabinet Minister remained active in private business. COVID-19 Quarantine Hotel Fiasco – Billions spent on mandatory hotel stays marked by reports of safety failures and lack of oversight. Parliamentary Witness Coaching Scandal – $263,000 in taxpayer funds spent to "coach" government employees and witnesses on how to spin answers at committee. Etc Etc The Liberal performance review: rushed programs, no transparency, friends get paid, costs explode, and no one is held accountable. Over a decade, this government has burned through $100B+ in waste, failed programs, insider contracts, and ethics breaches—with zero consequences—all on the backs of taxpayers while they get rich.

He wants to have a slave class to serve the elites. 95% of maid is white people. Now fast tracking citizenship for Chinese mercanary soldiers and taking our guns for the 3rd time and spent billions and aren't getting guns but this time they will and Chinese mercenaries have no ties so they will have no problem turning their guns on us. I believe he is planning a genocide of older people to save money on Healthcare after all death cures everything. His orange man bad narrative is going to come true if he thinks trump will put up with massive immigration and ccp soldiers in our military. Carney has so many conflicts of interest he is tanking canada on purpose so he can sell his green scam tech which surprise is owned by Brookfield a Canadian company which he moved to New York to avoid paying our high taxes. He is the biggest security threat to canada ever he is a madman ,arrogant prick that needs to go to jail along with his gangster liberal buddies. I cant believe how lefties believe his b.s every word out of his mouth is a lie. He attacks Pierre and he is not the government and says its a global problem. No its liberal mismanagement and corruption. The election is over after ontario and quebec votes because its gerrymandered with not enough seats out west because they think we are children and we pay the bills and no immigrants are working i get taxed 1500 on my 1450 pension to pay for these parasites. Carney talks out of the side of his mouth id love to play poker with him he cant lie worth shit. There is no way these policies are put in for any reason other than to impoverish us they are ridiculous. How about the teacher in hope b.c who got a 750,000 fine for a perfectly reasonable post about trans insanity. They say they are going to give it to lgbq+ offended teachers. You disagree with the government narrative they freeze your bank account, cancel you and bankrupt you all in violation of the charter of rights and freedoms. There not even trying to hide their dictatorship with their new kings clause where a company thats in with pm can basically break Canadian laws if pm says so. I hope ee get invaded i will never go to a hospital to die . In ontario 65 people got maid in 24 hours without talking to family and without life threatening conditions. This guy is a co trol freak has to be stopped now

You don’t need endless studies and quantifiable evidence to apply a bit of common sense I don’t need a study to tell me to close the window or put on a sweater if it’s cold in my house The point is there shouldn’t be one extra dollar that’s spent on anything that is outside of Canadian interests

Do the people of Alberta know about the millions the UCP government spent on advertising running confusing, preposterous commercials across the country on the reliability of oil and gas? What were people in Ontario supposed to do with that message exactly?

She didn't work in her field for 1 1/2 year as a new migrant. TELL US. How long should we pay for immigrants to live and not work for. She's saying 1.5 years is not enough. So we have to feed them for 5-10 years before they contribute? I WANT PAID VACATION IN HAWAII TOO WITH EVERYTHING INCLUDED. Why am I not getting it? I've never spent 1.5 years not working and I'm 38 years old. WTH

If you are having so much trouble with these people, then put them on a plane and send them back to India 🇮🇳. More than half of them are people who fled India after engaging in criminal activities and sought refuge in Canada. No one in India demands Khalistan except for a few terrorist Sikhs living in Canada. In 2024, Indian students spent more than 10 billion Canadian dollars in Canada. In 2025, the number of students going to Canada decreased by 50 percent. So don't worry, Indians won't be going to Canada anymore.

Even Indian Canadians that were born here don't want these immigrants. When people from their own ethnicity don't want them here, that says a lot. As someone who spent years working in public maintenance and sanitation, I know first-hand who the least hygienic people are, and there is no contest. Indians are at the top of that list. Remember that the next time you see them handling your food.

I am from India but it's fcuking annoying to see people spent thousands of dollars just to go to Canada and working there as a taxi driver or as a waiter in fast food joints. Same fcuking indian mindset of culture takeover

I know it's not on most people's radar, but what is a huge problem that no one talks enough about is how when so many temporary foreign workers come here, they make money in Canadian dollars and then send that money out of our economy to their home Country. So our Canadian dollars are sold, and isn't spent in our Economy. When you go somewhere and you don't see any born in Canada employees you really need to make a choice to not support that business. Canadian wages should go to Canadians and spent in our economy. I hope we wise up and we start to really limit how many people we bring into the Country. We're literally bringing in 400K+ people that's about the size of Halifax, EVERY year. We just cannot support this rapid growth. Especially when the people coming in have no intention of integrating and do not share our values.

Worst thing that ever happened to Canada. I can't even begin to describe how my community has changed. I don't even recognize it anymore. Spent my entire life in a small town and for some unknown reason it is part of a "designated resettlement zone." There are more Indians than whites - it's insane. Local businesses have closed, new businesses catering to Indians have opened. Littering is rampant. Homes aren't taken care of. It's a tragedy. 70% of Canadians don't want these levels of immigration - hell, even *immigrants* don't want more immigrants. Justin Trudeau, his Liberal government, and the traitors over at the Century Initiative are 100% responsible for this irrevocable destruction of Canadian culture.

Ontarians spent decades crying about Quebec trying to keep their culture and language alive, saying they should be forced to integrate into broader Canadian Culture. And then they decide to just become India and China. Very cool, Ontario. Glad Quebecois never listened to you self destructive idiots.

Spent my first 21 years in Brampton and in that time it grew in population and decayed in culture. I will likely never move back. And if you are curious about why Btowns driving is so awful, go look at the local dmv... you might find something there.

I’m South African Indian from Durban, and I spent three months in Vancouver for work. Honestly, I wouldn’t visit Canada again. The cold was unbearable for me, and I found the country dull and boring. Coming from Durban, where there’s warmth, energy, culture, and life everywhere, Canada just didn’t feel like my kind of place. Some people may enjoy the quiet and structure, but it’s not for everyone—and it definitely wasn’t for me. Three months was more than enough to know it’s not my vibe.

The contrast between immigrants, many from India, and the rhetoric of those who now feel like a new minority was striking. It should not surprise me that racism appears anywhere humans are, but what stood out was how some speakers treated all Indians as a single people, despite hundreds of cultures, and accused them of failing to assimilate to ‘their way.’ Many of those voices were themselves descendants of immigrants who were once pressured to abandon Norwegian or other identities in the name of assimilation. Yet there was little evidence they had actually spent time getting to know their Indian neighbors, their cultures, friendships, or daily realities. Instead, the focus was fear and a narrative of societal collapse, rather than honest engagement that separates real local issues from blanket blame. Of course, any local community can have problems, and some groups can be unwelcoming. But the argument presented implied there is only one way to be Canadian. That echoes xenophobic rhetoric in the US about who counts as ‘American,’ often while ignoring the reality of Indigenous peoples entirely. I do not deny the importance of shared commitments like the rule of law, freedom, and evidence based policy rooted in the Enlightenment and scientific thinking. But culture and learning can coexist with those values. What troubled me most was how poverty and discrimination were replaced with racial generalizations, and how victim language was used to deflect responsibility, something that resembles DARVO. Given the same conditions, these problems could arise in any group, regardless of race.

Dude could have just walked either way over the border and not spent a dime doing it. The entire canadian border is open and not monitored. In some areas one side of the road is canada and the other side in America.

You spent a lot of time with that racist dude mr Oliveira lol. Those stats about Africans having low iqs, how do you think that data is collected? Just think for a second, what about an American education system would compare to say the local village school in rural Kenya? Do you think something like that would play a part in iq level? Some of you need to get your own checked I swear. 35% of Kenyans live under the FOOD poverty standard. 18.3 million people live under the food poverty line in the United States (13%> of US population) 18.5 million live under the food poverty line in Kenya. The population of Kenya is around 53 million. That’s just over 1/7 of the US population. Do you think that maybe plays a part? That’s only one country, we can keep going, if you crunch the numbers on the whole continent it’s so obvious that you’d have to be .. low iq not to see it lol.

As someone who has spent almost 40years in Canada, we are all tired of them. It's not about race, it's about their lack of assimilation and disregard for the existing culture here in Canada. By the way Tyler, if you're wondering why all the retailers use these temp workers, it's because the Canadian government uses our tax dollars to provide wage subsidies to the companies, so they literally get to pay them less as a business because the tax payers make up the difference. It's so re-tarded.

Have any of you attempted to work with C&I? I did after adopting a children. 10 years ago, it was a breeze. First (and only) visitor record, valid for 2 years, with citizenship application quickly processed and granted, and passport also procured in less than 1 year. Fast forward a few years. Now it was 1st visitor record, valid for 1 year. Prior to expiration, days spent trying to navigate a messed up website to submit required information and apply for extension to stay. Then wait for a year or more, to finally receive another visitor record that was valid for 6 months. Rinse and repeat. All for our adopted preschooler to legally remain in Canada. Finally, after 5+ years, citizenship was processed and granted.

Canadian parents who were born OUTSIDE of Canada can now pass their citizenship to their kids who are also born OUTSIDE of Canada as long as the parents can prove they spent 3 years in Canada. What?? Why??

Canada is too nice and is being taken advantage of. This money spent should be charged to the people being deported if they don’t comply. We need to stop immigration 100% until Canada gets a hold on the people already here. One in one out !!!

In the US in 2025, ICE has deported half a million who are not in the US legally, and an estimated additional 1.5 million have self-deported, in some cases with government financial incentives. So 50k deportations might represent a comparably active effort for Canada, and 18k might be creditable for a Liberal government. But the effort sounds rather bureaucratic, and focused only on rejected refugee applications. I would want to know how many of these "deportations" are entirely on paper -- "your application has been rejected, please let yourself out at your earliest convenience." They spent roughly $5k per deportee, and that would cover air fare if the deportations were done privately, but adjudication costs money, and governments find many ways to make everything much more expensive. Also, if refugee claims can be judged false or inadequate, where are the efforts to determine whether "students" are really students? By the same token, the world is a dangerous place. I figure all those living in any of the many violent inner-city neighborhoods in the US have reason to fear for their lives. Similar facts are true of many millions around the world, and most of them would be rejected by Canadian immigration because they'd be safe if they simply moved to places they can't afford.

How many came illegal in the same time frame as well legal but yet money spent forlegal cases ! Only reason is our liberal government allowed the overflow so that we get fed up and allow them in with no fight.

Good. Keep it going agree 💯💯. Don't like to see tax dollars going there. The people being deported should be made to pay for their own flights. $300 million plus 😮😮😮too much money being spent as it is

CTV, you are concerned about the money spent on deportations... what about the tons more spent on the accommodation, food and other costs to keep them here everyday.
2025-12-24 0
less than a toonie per canadian to send them back. I'd say it's money well spent, considering every items cost more than $2 in Dollarama.

What an absolute scam showing a spending of 370M! Even if I consider per ticket cost of 4000$ per person it would be aprrox 1M spent on ticksts for 18000 people! 18000 people is siimply tokenism. These numbers hardly would make a difference of 1 % lol

The number & money spent on fake refugees is a lot higher with the free hotels and spending cards provided, we need Ice to clean up the house or Canada will go bankrupt soon.

Mexican and Canadian visitors entering on a B2 visitor visa and staying longer than 30 days or traveling beyond 25 miles must apply for an I-94. Biometrics and photo is taken. It's been this way for many years. Really nothing really new here. Just enforcing the law that has been in place since 1996. Known as the 96 Act of the INA. I am a retired INS Inspector and spent 17 years on the San Diego/Tijuana land border crossing. I put my entry stamp on thousands of I-94's.

2025-11-27 0
So out of the 500-600,000 being let in every year over the last 10 yrs.... You do the math.... Explains the increase in crime nation wide and the reason BILLIONS are being spent by tax payers for the millions of immigrants and fake refugees. I can't get a loan for 10,000 but they get 80,000 a year FREE... This country is being destroyed

This is a slap in the face to someone who spent over a year preparing to come to Canada. I spent tume and effort and lots of money and sleepless nights to make a perfect application. I made sure I be 100% honest bcuz its mainly part of my religion. When i got accepted and came , I counted the hours in my part time and paid attention that i dont work any extra min over my 20 hours during studies, I did the same for my PGWP and PR application. Its hurts my soul that someone can be dishonest and gets a slot in the quota competing with people who are doing it like me. Its insulting. If those ppl who are not decent enough to submit an honest application and follow the rules they should not be allowed a spot in the quota. They should be removed and sent back to where they came from. Canada should bot tolerate frauds. We literally came gere for a better life , a safer life. By accepting frauds in, you're telling future applicanys to cheat thier way into here.

Canadians are being accused of racism when addressing immigration to immigrants. They use that word to defuse your point of view and concerns for our country. So ask them.........HOW MANY CANADIANS DO YOU HAVE TO DEPORT BACK INTO CANADA because we're hopping your borders for a better way of life? How much tax dollars does your country spent on sending canadians back to their country? How much federal country money do you give canadian immigrants to start their better way of life? Do canadian immigrant women get to keep their country traditions any way of a canadian life style or are they conformed? .......... Don't be silenced or afraid. They weaponized the word racism to give them leverage because that's all they have in their artillery.
