I can't stand this idiot lebanese immigration minister. You have to wonder about the low IQ of the voters that elected this moron.

I know a lot of asylum seekers & rejected ones who are legally working. This guy will try anything just to get elected. Sad

Canada is going to be like UK France and Germany election have consequences politicians have no consequences all the best Canada

Canada has lost the plot. Recruiting foreigners for our military should be illegal. There is no doubt Carney is destroying Canada. Canada and Canadians don’t make these decisions. Carney makes them in the backrooms without consultation with anyone. The Liberals take no ideas or instruction from the people who are paying and employing them. They did not elect a Dictator which we have.

I really dont believe she got elected. She cannot speak, she cannot think and she sound completly moronic. How could she run a campaign?

Immigration isn't broken, Canadians that elected this government for the last 10 years are not doing their due diligence!

I worked with Lena Diab 20 years ago and am not in any way surprised by this. How she ever got elected is beyond me and the fact that she is in charge of our immigration system has me gobsmacked. Like all the other incompetent Liberals, she has to go

Doug ford now goingbtobthebuS governors,how is that so different to the Jjavanibtrip, at least javanibtold everyone, Doug just sticking into election interference in the USA

You are fired . Canada want s an election we can't afford to wait for more failure

If we tried for another 160 years we couldn’t possibly produce, elect and appoint a worse group of egregiously incompetent ministers to represent us at home and on the world stage. They are an embarrassment to the nation, every day, with every breath and every smug, vapid smirk.

If the liberal government was bringing in engineers and doctors and their families, it'd be one thing.But they're not, they're shipping in criminals from other countries.These other countries are emptying their jails of the criminals.And bringing them the canada and the liberals don't care as long as they vote for them.And cheat in the election, that's the bottom line!

all the left-wing parties do exactly the same thing: bring in lots of people, manipulate election, and claim more control. they are all the same. Look what happened in Europe, UK, Australia, NewZealand, and UsA. Canadian people, wake up, Vote Conservatives, Save Canada.

Ok. So win the damn election!

More BS from a supposedly neutral balanced media outlet. At least when the CBC have a panel they have one from each party. Here are the facts. The Honourable Lena Metlege Diab is the current Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship. She was appointed to the role in May 2025 by Prime Minister Mark Carney following the April 2025 federal election. Her current activity is defined by a shift toward more restrictive and "talent-focused" policies. Here is the technical breakdown of her recent initiatives: 1. 2026 Express Entry Overhaul On February 18, 2026, Diab announced significant adjustments to the Express Entry system. The primary objective is to transition from broad intake to "sustainable levels" while addressing specific labor gaps. * New Categories: Streams were added for researchers, senior managers, transport occupations (pilots/mechanics), and foreign military personnel recruited by the Canadian Armed Forces. * Medical Priority: A specific category was introduced for foreign medical doctors already possessing Canadian work experience. * Tightened Requirements: She doubled the category-specific work experience requirement from 6 months to 12 months. This move is designed to narrow the candidate pool and prioritize those with deeper integration into the Canadian labor market. 2. Legislative Reform (Bill C-12) Diab is currently championing a major immigration and border security bill (C-12), which is moving through its third reading in the Senate as of February 26, 2026. * Executive Power: The bill grants the Governor in Council (acting on cabinet advice) broad authority to vary, cancel, or suspend immigration documents and applications in the "public interest." * Asylum Restrictions: Diab has been vocal about curbing what she terms "fraudulent" claims. The legislation proposes making anyone who has been in Canada for over a year ineligible to claim asylum, and it restricts claims from those entering via land borders outside official ports of entry. 3. Shift in Strategy The Minister’s rhetoric marks a pivot from previous Liberal administrations. Her current messaging focuses on "taking back control" of immigration levels. While she continues to promote the recruitment of "the best and brightest," she has explicitly stated the government's goal is to reduce the total annual number of both permanent and temporary residents. Summary Table | Focus Area | Recent Action | |---|---| | Express Entry | Increased experience threshold to 12 months; added military/researcher streams. | | Asylum Policy | Supporting Bill C-12 to restrict claims made after 1 year of residency. | | Staffing | Recently appointed Isaac MacDonald (former P.E.I. Liberal executive) as Director of Parliamentary Affairs.

Lena was so obvious from day one that her wheels are spinning, but the mouse is MAiD. Almost the entire liberal party is a large fry short of a Happy Meal, so you just try and ignore these things. I sold everything when Carney was elected. Whether I move to Alberta or stay here in Ontario, house prices have tanked. No matter what, because of this clown show, I won.

Trump derangement is more importantly reported instead of real news based on how to better the relationship with USA as a partner to our economy and welfare No instead carney Goes off to other shores Because he knows his time in power is coming soon to an end Once an election is called And he only thinks of what’s next for him

Stupid voters electing stupid politicians,...........ensuring that Canada does not even know how to be a country !!

Two Solutions: 1- Must remove asylum seekers quicker, 6 months? 2- THe Supreme Cpourt, unelected and appointed must stop MAKING LAWS, the job of our Elected Representatives.

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

I don't know how every day Canadians are expected to fix this mess when our wealthy, well connected ppl can't. Based on the last two elections - voting isn’t going to fix it either when elections are being rigged and infringed upon. I love my Country but I would welcome being the 51 st state right now because I am so discouraged and see no hope or change on the horizon.

At the beginning, immigrants DID NOT receive citizenship for 10 years. They could NOT be out of Canada for 5 years & were THOROUGHLY vetted, something that changed in 2015 when Trudeau was unfortunately elected!! Canadian citizenship is no longer precious & we have the LIBERALS & LIBERAL VOTERS to blame!!

Power to the people! NO to floor crossing! NO to elections theft! Floor crossing is elections stealing! Elections matter! Save our democracy! Floor crossing is depressing, what kind of society are we building if there no integrity, no values, no trust, no ethics in politics? What is the point going for elections if the one person can change the will of the people by crossing the floor? Real people who are FREE and who cherish their FREEDOM should organize and protest against floor crossing all across this country until floor crossing is banned in Canada. A person who does not want to be in parliament anymore should resign effective immediately and the resignation should trigger an automatic by-election from that moment the person resigned.

It is time to scrap All the fancy initials such as UN, WEF, NGO, COP, Etc. And use the constitution and elected government to run the country. There must also be a loyal opposition to hold the government to account. We need transparency and accountability to stop corruption,

Our current government has an unelected leader and three unelected MPs. All bought and paid for with cash from the Davos Elites. I don't blame Alberta one bit for wanting to separate from socialist non-democratic Canada so they can have a free country with fair elections once more.

Smith needs to go for the sake of all Canadians. Call an election.

We really need an elected Senate.

After reading the comments I have become anti referendum and direct democracy. These “people” can’t even read 2-3 sentences and understand what it means. Seriously when election time comes around do us all a favour and don’t vote.

Voter restriction in Canada, really??? Last time I checked there’s a board called Election Canada and a piece of paper called “voter cards”. What about married women who have their names changed? Or ppl living in rural areas with missing paperwork???

Yet no referendum on cpp or Alberta Canada permanence or how about an actual election as the government has lost the confidence of the entire province.

They find a way to comeback....... Election chair for extortion and violent home invasion. THE END!

Thousands of imigrants have rallied under the conservative banner during both provincial and federal election...this is a backstab, to propose to cut free healthcare for imigrants is very low

Psychotic. I want an election. She’s trying to make us maple maga project 25. She’s driving business away. Maybe Diversify energy, Tax corporations & billionaires & manage royalties to benefit middle class?

Too many questions, let’s just have an election 😊

“These were far and away the issues most strongly identified by Albertans during last year’s [highly engineered and manipulated] Alberta Next panel town halls and online submissions….[because the UCP knew that stoking these issues would play well with the misinformed far right part of our base and we need them on board if we want to win any more elections and continue our campaign to dismantle all of Alberta’s cherished institutions and impose rule by authoritarian Christian nationalists and oil corporations.]” There, I put in the parts that she is thinking but was too dishonest to say out loud.

How about we just hold another election and vote you out.

UCP never campaigned on a referendum, let’s have an election instead.

🤦🏼‍♂️ what a fool. Time for an election.

Just a small word here. Khalistan sikh are not Indian Sikh. They are people who are wanted for various crimes even in India. They have criminal records and India has been requesting Canadian government to deport some of these people to undergo trial in India but Trudeau govt under jagmeet Singh did not agree and so you have crimes happening in Canada but the bad name goes to India. As far as this oppression against minority is concerned all sikhs in India are free to do as they wish in their own land. They have a democratically elected leader and sikhs in India are very happy. Others in India love them and respect them a lot so much so that manmohan Singh became the prime minister of India with zero opposition to his leadership. Abdul kalam who is also a muslim became the president of India. This oppression story is fake. That is one of the ways for this khalistan punjabi apply for refugee status inside Canada. It’s a Canadian loophole they misuse and the worst part is even the govt knows that. They just won’t do anything about it.

Except the Liberals don't care, they are busy lining their own pockets. An Election ASAP so the citizens can choose. And Albertans can see just how Courpt the rest of this country is.

Trudeau ruined Canada….drugs, crime, now shootings in schools, lack of mental health care. NDP taxing the working class in BC….where did BC money go?? Crime at its worst….Pollution on hwy, back roads, speeding out of hand, dirty outhouses for tourists to gag at…..damaged trails not repaired…..BC housing to expensive for younger generations, lack of good paying jobs. NDP re elected….our budget received a “D”….funny how we ignore people living on streets or in tents “full of garbage”….theft issues with businesses even broken windows, fire issues. …..sad how BC is….born in BC 65 soon and this is not the BC I grew up in. Last 11 years deaths from drugs, has been excepted as a society…..no jail time for hard core criminals…..this is the reality behind the areas that are kept nice or had money invested into…..small towns were ignored…..little growth…or expansion ….list goes on ….so keep it real BC…why do we accept this as the “new normal”….? Where did our money go to…if you make over 50k…you’re being taxed more!! Yet food , and being taxed on every move we make down to water…..now more off working class people.

Dont worry, the courts will make sure they arent punished for their crimes and all become full citizens. If voters cared about the justice system, they wouldnt have re elected the same government.

You have to realize how rigged the system is for example. Take a look at the liberal MP from Mississauga Malton. He only hires staff from India. He primarily deals with PR card issues as per his 5 star Google reviews. Anytime he makes a video talking about liberal propaganda. He has to turn off commenting section of the video due to the backlash. This is what happens when you elect foreign born MPs

Did you know conservatives won the popular vote last two elections but the House of Commons said “nah”

This isn’t Liberal incompetence — it’s 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: Green Slush Fund (SDTC) SNC-Lavalin Affair ArriveCAN Firearms Buyback fiasco WE Charity scandal Foreign interference Triad-linked organized crime in B.C. Fentanyl crisis Aga Khan vacation Investing in Canada Plan 2019 Election "Lavish" Spending Telford/Trudeau Staff Scandal Finance Minister Bill Morneau's Controversies Liberal MP Paul Chiang controversy Greenbelt scandal Montgomery Carney's countless conflicts of interest and his Brookfield $6.5B tax evasion. Chrystia Freeland Ukraine reconstruction funding controversy

Kenny is trying to set up for a run at the conservative leadership following the next federal election. Constantly in the news clips getting his name out there.

As a Canadian born to immigrants, the emphasis of 'temporary foreign worker' is on 'temporary'. Its highly immoral for immigrants to be scapegoated for the greed of corporations wanting cheap slave labour, and for colleges to reap the benefit of a broken student visa loophole to immigration, to the detriment of all Canadians. This loophole has remained open for long enough, at the behest of lobbyists and politicians to use for talking-points at election time, but everyone is glad someone is finally doing something about it. Our job markets and real-estate prices needed this to recover to sane-levels. It takes a non-politician in power for things to get done for practical reasons, not to score political points.

2:00 wait... But he's not completely anti-immigration like I've heard during elections... It's an unfortunate situation but I do agree with him. Immigration is good but you have to keep in mind how many immigrants you can wellcome as a country. p.s: I'm Romanian

Thank you so much for this video. I just passed the test with 17/20. Few questions are out of this video. And some are tricky. I did some other mock tests as well like Richmond Library, studied the map and etc. Some I remember are: 1. What is the common term for someone elected in Federal elections? A. Riding Winner B. Member of Parliament C. Senate D. Federal Executive. 2. Which of the following represents being Canadian and expresses national identity? A. Symbols like Maple leaf B. Equality C. Unity D. Human Right Commission 3. Jury duty consists of partial jurors and past jurors (in similar meaning) True or False. 4. French and English are: A. Fighting rebellion in 1800s B. French joined hands with Americans to fight against English C. Lived together for 300 years D. All of the above 5. Got a basic question about suffrage movement 6. What are prairie provinces? Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba (SAM) 7. I got a question about provinces from west to east on Canada map. Please look and memorize the provinces locations. 8. Got a question about Peace Arch in Blaine 9. Question about Peace Tower like what was built after first world War. 10. Question about Aboriginals. Ans: First Nations, Metis and Inuits 11. Branches of Parliament Ans: Sovereign, House of commons and Senate 12. Courts do: Ans: Settle disputes These all what I remember. I am not sure which ones I got wrong. Might be in the first 5 I posted here. Test is not difficult but it is better to go through this video multiple times and do some other mock tests as well, in my opinion. Thank you and All the Best 😊

It’s getting harder and harder for people to watch what happens in the House of Commons without feeling downright furious. Every day, Canadians work long hours, pay crushing taxes, and deal with rising costs — and for what? To watch elected officials sit in Parliament and turn Canadian issues into a circus. It feels like half the time they’re more interested in scoring cheap political points than actually solving anything. The constant bickering, yelling, and rehearsed “outrage” looks less like leadership and more like a never‑ending performance meant to distract us from how little actually gets done. How much do you think each of them makes just sitting there doing nothing all day, and calling it a job. THE REAL CROOKS OF CANADA Politicians. Blame the Indians who come to work in Canada when send billions to Ukraine. WAKE UP CANADA TO REAL PROBLEM

OOH.....We must be coming up to a federal election soon
