The most useless 3 stooges - Fraser , Miller and now Diab. Be honest get rid of people whom don't belong here, reduce the numbers , clear the backlog and let's bring back manageable numbers of honest applicants whom deserve to be here and will contribute. How hard is that? So sick of the racist rant and many immigrants I know that followed the rules to come cannot stand the Liberal mantra.

Of course the Liberals don't know what is going on. If they knew what was going on then they could be held accountable and it appears that is something no Liberal wants. They don't want to take responsibility ever for anything that they do and they rely on equally inept voters to keep them in office. As to the subject at hand, Canadians should not be responsible for immigrants or people claiming asylum health costs for anything past their first 6 months here. Going past 6 months indicates that they have yet to gain employment and are living off our backs. Those who are still here after being turned back should be located and sent packing immediately regardless of their present standing. For example, someone came here and was rejected but never left. Today they get picked up and now they claim they have a family here. They should still be removed because if they had left when they were supposed to they wouldn't have that family now would they. Yes, it may appear to be harsh but is it not harsh to use the funds provided by people who have a legal right to be here to support those who never should have been here?

the corrupt liberals have been calling Canadians names such as racist, with all kinds of phobias for 15 years, stand up Canada against this silly name calling and ignore it

Go peirre and the conservatives. Thanks for standing up for Canadians. I don't recognize this country anymore. Sick of liberals

Very hard to produce a liberal positive comment on a story like this so instead the bot army will post racist comments as a final leg to stand on.

This country is overtaken by Indians , Those who never went to India and does not ever want to visit , they feel disgusted by these open Idols , You worship them , do it indoors , no one wants to see these demons standing like this and its the fault of these Liberals they intentionally F****d Up this country.

Some have abused our good will. Liberals have made it better for corporations to hire immigrants as they only have to pay a portion and liberals forcing taxpayers to pay the rest for the cost up to 17-20$ an hr!!!! We have to bring like before people who contribute to society and can stand on two feet but we have too many munchers and now under liberals 14 years of power we have the rich who avoid taxes the poor who can’t afford taxes and the nee middle class who pays all the taxes to pay for the rest. Welcome to Canada under liberals alone.

The problem isn't Indians taking over your place and your churches, this is but a symptom of a bigger problem. The problem is YOU white men not acting and re-enforcing the patriarchal society that built the whole country in the first place. You let women in leading positions and look what is happening, no children and policies that import the 3rd world. When are you finally going to stand your ground and say no to your liberal women and take back control of the country?

I keep saying, there are certain sectors that should be closed to Canadians. I'm talking about white Canadians and possible black Novia Scotians whose family been in Canada since the 1800s. Canada is being destroyed because the culture of immigrants arent being considered. No diversity is not strength, its the coming together, the togetherness thats strength. Stop allow racist to say you are racist to stand up for your country. Canadians have grown weak for sure under liberal governance. This is your home. If Canada doesnt work out, immigrants can always go back to their homeland.

It's not a lie. I have friends telling me stories of Indian Immigrants in small towns like Renfrew, Eaganville, Barrie, and other smaller places in between where there following and harrassing women in small towns. And their daughters alone side them. And their are never arrested. These people have disappeared of the internet 6-8 yrs ago and are popping up in small towns and even smaller villages along the highway. Parking on private property access roads for fires and picnics with there kids. I have seen it first hand all over lanark county and across the east end heading out to Embrun and east towards Plantagenet. And for anyone to deny this..it's because you live in a bubble and never leave the city. Can't goto the Ottawa River anywhere without seeing people bathing in the runoff from our fields and confronting locals tell them to stop trashing out forest and community . All the while throwing garbage into the river and bushes wherever they stop to get out of their cars. These Indians and Muslims do not care about the rules or our country. The Immigrants have over run the country and will not leave peacefully. Ask them yourself if they will. I bet they stand defiantly in your face and tell you "no". Even when they legally do not belong here. This will cause a civil war soon enough. Canada wants it's country back. And they will get it back from the liberals and their foreign army of vagrant, Canadian hating deciples. The time of the liberals has come to and end. Canada will be great again and the liberals will be back at the bottom where they belong. Especially after what they've done to the country and its people. Disgusting that no one has done it YET!!

This is liberals fault its there plan for all you dumb asses who voted them in you deserve this but for the ones who didn't vote for liberals time to stand up not take this bs by these immigrants in my opinion

They have NO customer service, refuse to learn English, their hygiene is poor & they disrespect our country. Time to stand up Canada & take our country back. Start by voting for Pierre next time. Liberals asked for this.

Little too late Canada ! For the last 10+ years you liberals that continued to support POS Trudeau and now an even bigger POS Carney have given these extremists the golden key to the nation to run havoc in our streets , in our schools , in our institutions, in everything that is wrong in our nation ! I’m so confused as to why our Police and Military Service have failed us ! “ They were to Serve and Protect Us The Citizens of this Nation “ !! Yet they are protecting the installed criminal infidels that have been placed in our country by the WEF to wreak havoc ! Time is ticking Canada we the true and patriot citizens need to stand together and take back our nation !!

It's all the plandemic of the WEF infiltration of Legacy Medias, Parliament/federal and provincial sectors, including immigration. The tax payer is paying for its own destruction. Time for Canadians to wake up stand up and speak up or continue down the liberal path to Canada no more and lunacy !

Big business lobbying got us here, the liberals don't ever really put out a policy statement like other parties do. They really don't stand for anything. That has always been the problem, they are the "whats trending now" party. No clear core values, campaign on one thing, do another, that is why they are untrustworthy .

Why is this guy still taking shots..!! Isn’t he resigned..?? Before presenting the budget 2025..?? What a joke this joker told he is going but liberals have no one..! They have stopped parliament and budget 2025 and now he is standing here and pump his chest as if he is fighting Trump..!! Reality check this is completely because of this looser we are facing this..?? The comments he made on Trump thinking he won’t return..?? Everything Trump blaming of Canada is caused by this looser in past 5yrs with his Pimp Jagmeet..!! Today this dumb piece of shit is taking..!! If it’s True they are no border crossing are drugs issue why these liberal beggars are going to Washington and trying to prove they are doing more to Stop..!!

Says the guy who froze bank accounts and shut down peaceful protests. Canadians have short memories. This guy is extreme left and dangerous to our democracy. This Liberal government is doing nothing to stop the drugs. Trudeau caused most of the problems. Most Canadians can’t even stand the sound of his voice. He is just inflamed the situation with his rhetoric. Canadians do appreciate the international support.

This man closed Canadas parliament and gave a Nazi war criminal a standing ovation. No one respects him, he is purposely destroying our country. The war is against Nazi liberals not America. Save us from this tyrant!!! Save Canada! Do not be fooled, he has erased Christianity and given corporations full control, he is EVERYTHING they accuse Donald Trump of being and WORSE! America is our last hope!!!!! I will die fighting to restore our democracy in Canada!

Former Green Beret, i stand with Canadians and it is sad to see our country bow down to dictators. \nDe oppresso liber!

Woke left liberal exposed. Canada has no wherewithall to stand in front of uncle Sam

Autarky and Autocracy, Dicktatoes and Dickhead Economics, hand in hand.\nI urge Canada to seek maximum assistance from all those who LOVE Canada, Canadians, Canadian Products that have so benefitted this world of ours.\nAutarky never works - IT CANNOT STAND FOR LONG.\n\n1. North Korea (Juche Policy)\nNorth Korea's commitment to Juche (self-reliance) has led to severe economic stagnation and recurring famines, most notably in the 1990s, when an estimated 600,000–3 million people died due to food shortages.\nThe lack of trade and foreign investment has stifled technological progress and industrial growth.\nNorth Korea is now heavily dependent on China for food, fuel, and economic support despite its official autarkic stance.\n2. Albania under Enver Hoxha (1944–1992)\nHoxha's regime pursued extreme isolationism, severing ties with both the Soviet Union and China.\nThe economy collapsed due to lack of trade, modern technology, and external investment.\nBy the late 1980s, Albania was one of the poorest and most backward countries in Europe, with widespread shortages of food, medicine, and basic goods.\n3. Spain under Franco (1940s–1950s)\nFrancisco Franco initially pursued autarquía after the Spanish Civil War, aiming to make Spain self-sufficient.\nThe policy resulted in economic stagnation, black markets, food shortages, and a declining standard of living.\nBy the 1950s, Franco was forced to abandon autarky in favor of liberalization and foreign investment, which led to the later Spanish Miracle of rapid economic growth.\n4. Argentina under Juan Perón (1946–1955)\nPerón aimed for economic independence through import substitution and state control of industries.\nInitially, Argentina benefited from post-war trade surpluses, but as reserves dwindled and industry struggled without external competition, inflation and inefficiencies mounted.\nThe economy ultimately deteriorated, forcing a shift back to trade and foreign investment.\n5. Maoist China (1950s–1970s)\nMao Zedong’s push for self-sufficiency, particularly during the Great Leap Forward, led to disastrous economic consequences.\nAgricultural mismanagement and isolationist policies contributed to the Great Chinese Famine (1959–1961), causing an estimated 15–45 million deaths.\nChina only saw major economic improvement after opening up to global trade under Deng Xiaoping’s reforms in the late 1970s.

From the Netherlands: we’ll never forget what Canada has done for us. You liberated us. We stand with you. ??❤️??

You people in the comments are so weak.\nImagine being on the same side about to get in a fight or war you idiots would run so fast have no strength.\nCan't hold thr line and stand fast. \nBunch of purple hair liberal lunatics. \n\nCowards. \n\nBunch of cutters ????

Trudeu ,you can take your country and your liberal ass we have been footing the bill for years and years,,we wont dig you out of this war and your debt to usa,,period ..you will be gone shortly your people cant stand you..

Trump is a horrible, horrible human. I am devastated over what he is doing. I've never once given Trump my vote and I'm not a lefty liberal. I knew if he was voted in he was going to cause world wide chaos. He has shown his character over and over and over...yet a large portion of American's just ignored it. This election wasn't about republicans or democrats or independents. This election was about humanity and global security. American's ignored the writing on the wall for their own singular wants/opinions. They stand with their Trump flags but only a few of them can actually explain any accurate information about his policy or legal issues and they condone his behavior. The majority of Trumpers claim to be 'Christians'. Christians voting for a man who is a bully, abuser, liar, predator, monger of power, impedes freedom of press and speech and aligns himself with a dictator. He pardoned violent offenders and called them patriotic, spouts false information, obstructs investigations, has numerous felony charges against him and has now made enemies with our allies. Shall I go on? That's not Christian. Even if you aren't Christian...that's not what America stands for. All for what...eggs? Guns? Cheaper groceries? Or because your need for hating a small group of people out weighs global peace. Or is it because you are so short sighted that you can't even see the valuable contribution that non American born people provide this country. Yes, Biden fell asleep at the wheel. Yet many of you still believed the better choice was a psychopath. This election was important. We failed as a country by putting this man in office. No matter what party you align with, we failed. Yes, I want cheaper eggs. Yes, I really need cheaper groceries. But not over the safety of the globe. Not over the lives of the people and children being killed in an unprovoked war. Not over the safety of Europe. Not over ripping off our closest and favorite country that borders us. Not over losing our democracy and our allies. I stand with Ukraine, Canada, Mexico and Europe and the Gulf of Mexico. You should ask yourself what you really stand for.

Thank you liberal party for helping us stand up against the US

I’m Canadian. My family have always been Liberals but I’m not much of a Trudeau fan myself. For today, it doesn’t matter whether you like the man or not, Trudeau deserves a standing ovation for his speech and the actions he is taking. That’s what a leader of a country should sound like and react like. It’s going to be a tough road ahead for us but together we will pull through this. Stay strong my fellow Canadians, we got this. ❤

I can't stand this guy's ridiculously liberal approach in general, \nbut - unlike rapidly polarised fools around the world - I am not beholden to any destructive political ideology. \nTrudeau is right about this. He deserves credit for this.\nTrump and his obsequious brown-nosing number 2 deserve nothing but derision.

Liberals will stand for anything but the National Anthem

All the Americans that fell for this and “Stand with Canada “ should pack your bags and move to that Liberal Country! Don’t forget to leave your firearms here in the United States ??!!

A rather liberal PM stands up to the US!

Wow! So many awesome comments of support, from around the world! This Canadian thanks you. \nMany of us are proud of our outgoing PM. He made some financial mistakes, maybe a bit TOO liberal, but there are also many detractors who I fear are caught up with the same hyperbole that captivated (and fooled) too many Americans; I hope this is a good lesson for them. \nWe will continue to stand on guard, for ourselves, and for what the world wants us to be❤

When you ALREADY have tariffs in place against the US you cannot claim Trump is starting a trade war. You started it. Now we have a POTUS with the sand to stand up for us not the world. Republicans understand that things will get tough. Liberals are already snow flakes that were in a melt down from the day Trump took office. We voted them out. I don't think Canadians are going to tolerate much for long unless you open the Treasury and give them money thereby bankrupting them. Drop your tariffs and Trump will drop yours. Is a win win.

Well Justin Trudeau what about the last 8years you penalized and persecuted your fellow countrymen and made them suffer high prices and the ability to live comfortably?it’s funny what you say president trump made your fellow citizens of Canada unite and stand up, something you liberals failed at.

Real Americans hear you and are with you 100%, Mr. Trudeau. Real Americans stand with Canada, Europe, and free liberal democracy, not Putin loving wannabe tyrants like Tump.

Thank you Canada for standing up to our tyrant. We civilized and liberal Americans regard Canada as our closest ally and friend.

Don’t worry, liberal filthy garbage America will do just fine. Remember we stand for traditional family values and that’s what God stands for…

Don’t worry, liberal filthy garbage America will do just fine. Remember we stand for traditional family values and that’s what God stands for…

As a Black American not a liberal or conservative I STAND WITH AMERICA.

WE STAND UNITED ... CONSERVATIVE AND LIBERAL...WE ARE ONE TODAY! STAND STRONG CANADA!

There's many reasons not to like Trudeau up here in Canada, many of which are the reason he'll (rightfully) no longer be the PM next week. As a conservative I hated him for SNC-Lavalin (among other scandals), and the fact that his inexperience with the economy Harper left him is probably part of why this trade war is going to hurt more than it could have, and the fact that he's often been kind of a phony more concerned with looking and sounding good for the press cameras. Not this time. Nothing phony here; I've got to give credit to him for capturing the national mood pretty much perfectly with this speech. Good on him. \n\nAnd congratulations as well to Donald for pretty much handing the Liberals their best shot at a fourth term, too. What an absolute idiot. Normally I'd turn my nose up at having to vote Liberal, but I am so, so sick of the brand of empty populism Trump stands for that it looks like that's what I'm gonna be doing come election time.

Everyone thinks that this is Canada standing up, but what this means is that the Canadians with our economy that is 1/10 that of the US will be taxed at 25% on our imports, this is going to hurt canadians way more than the retaliatory terrifs will hurt the americans. This may also lead to an escalated response from the US exacerbating the effect. Trudeau and others can't seem to grasp that there may be a long term strategy from Trump and this is playing into it. \n\nThe truth of all of it is that Trump does not like Justin Trudeau or the Liberal government.

I'm an American and I'm beyond disgusted that the convicted felon adjudicated rapist Dictator worshipper Dictator wannabe was allowed to run for any political office especially President. I believe Musk's vote counting system corrupted the election. I have never and never will vote for Trump and his evil co conspirators. Now some of the MAGA voters are regretting their votes, well they chose to believe the cons lies over the easily verifiable facts especially Project 2025 that again lied on national TV that he knew nothing about Project 2025 yet his name is on hundreds of pages in project 2025 documents. Trump and his goons belong in prison.\nI support and love Canada and Ukraine. Devastating that the real elected President Kamala Harris was robbed of that because of manipulation and foreign interference. Americans are suffering and the suffering will get worse except for the top wealthiest.\nThank you Prime Minister for standing up to the biggest deranged bully on Earth and all the countries that are supporting Canada.\nIt disturbs me beyond words, I have generations in my family that have served in our military, ,my father served in WWII and Korea he fought at the Battle of the Bulge and liberated Buchenvald concentration camp the atrocities he witnessed affected him for the rest of his life, and here we have a 5 time draft dodger whose rich daddy paid a Dr to falsify deferment paperwork for phoney bone spurs, he's a coward and a bully

Both my Conservative Grandparents and my Liberal Parents stand with Canada.

As a Canadian, i stand with America. You guys are liberal puppets.

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.

Why all liberals stand for other countries except their own ?

Canada is awesome except for the fact that Canada (and the liberals in the US) are against ending the fighting between Ukraine and Russia. They would rather 'stand with Ukraine' until all the Ukrainians are deceased!

A breath of fresh air to hear a normal and caring leader speak instead of a narcistic, criminal, cowardly fraud like Trump.\nJustin we admire you in Europe?.\nI hope our leaders will work together and stand by Canada. The Canadians who liberated my country from the Nazis. We are still thankful for that.

Come on bro you know that Joe Biden is the one that hurt this country with what he let you and every other country get away with against the American people a lot of us woke up we voted for Trump there's a mandate you can talk crap and try to lie all you want that's what you liberals do but we know better I stand with Trump
