He can posture and act tough all he wants but Canada will suffer much more than the United States. If you want fairness then make it an equal playing ground between countries. The majority of Americans, not like most of the liberals commenting here support Donald Trump
Critiques Canada's tariff strategy as economically disadvantageous and frames it as posturing, while asserting American support for Trump.

Love how Canada quietly decided that a driver's license in India and Bangladesh were the equal to ours that requires zero testing. What a clown show of a country.

Trudeau is clip farming and playing heartstrings. The Canadian government profits from a reciprocal tariff deal.\n\nAmerica is trying to balance the budget, which is what Americans voted for.

This is a very biased interview. Of course the refugee lawyer is going to cry about Canada deporting fake refugees because its bad for her business.😅 There are over 250,000 people awaiting refugee claims because a lot of people, like former international students and foreign workers, think they scam the system to get PR.
Criticizes interview bias and refugee lawyer motives, with unverified claim about 250,000 pending claims and system gaming.

No offence to the amazing Indian people, as a Canadian I find the majority very helpful and good for our country. However, things changed 2015- onwards- there are large scam companies now that bring unqualified people by taking money from them and creating fake student permits for them. The issue with that is that these people are OK with subpar living standards and offer their services for less than minimum wage and this creates a shadow/ cash-based economy where taxes go unreported and quality of life does not improve. This is not good for anyone- not the Canadians and older immigrants who lose jobs to these people and must pay higher taxes to maintain the infrastructure needed for a larger population. Not to mention how these new immigrants are a bit uncultured and almost like the "red-necks" of India- they throw garbage around, do not learn English, never make friendships with other races/ethnicities.
Critiques immigration policy by detailing concerns about fraudulent permits, wage suppression, and cultural integration while citing economic and labor market impacts.
