For any non Canadians, if you live anywhere near here, your insurance rates sky rocket to unaffordable amounts. Truly one of the worst places to be in or around.

Omg Bravo to that first woman!! We have to do something Canada!! The young lady that spoke brought me tears. How can the young people have families??? They can't afford to look after themselves let alone a family. So so sad and scary. Omg, so many good points!! Canadians we have to stand up and say something!!! Trudeau ruined this country and now Carney is going to make it much worse!!!

They made it so we can't have kids, then the gov subsidizes CORPSorations with our money so that CANADIANS don't get hired. D E P O R T. Enough is enough. I know many LEGAL immigrants, friends, who get the concept of assimilation and why. I'd NEVER go to another country and expect special treatment or rights. This isn't going to end well.
Focuses on economic grievances (hiring, subsidies, cost of living) while invoking assimilation expectations and deportation demands.

Most of the immigrants landing here in Canada are not boosting our economy but just becoming a liability taking the country backward rather than progress. Tye government should stop immigration including refugees, at least for a while. Not that I don’t want to help these people but we just dont have the resources for now to accommodate them. ‘m shocked to hear that 817,000 people landed in Canada. Add three zeros to it because these people pay at least a $1000 as administrative fee to government IRCC. So that is $817,000,000 Canadian Dollars. Close to a Billion. What is government doing with this money?
No Government, we Canadians dont want that money in our GDP. He has enough natural resources that can sustain ourself. Stop selling cheap oil to US.
And back to people who come here as immigrants. You are in a different country to have a new life. There is no point in protecting here in Canada about the things happening in your home country. Have some common sense. It’s just an other news for media. When you do such things, Canadian resource are wasted like cops have to make sure the protest goes peacefully and many more. People who are not part of it are getting affected. And to all immigrants please please please, speak in english. I know that you all are comfortable speaking in your native language. Speak that at your private place. Not in public place or work place. That is basic manners. Dont speak out loud in phone in public places. It’s not manners.
Funny that people are asking to change the classes taught in French😂
This proves that they are not students but in disguise, as students. Here in Canada, to loot Canada and weaken the country. If you want class in english in a french speaking province better move out of Quebec.
Extended critique arguing immigrants are economic liabilities, calls for immigration pause, questions government spending, and expresses resource scarcity concerns.

Good. Too many immigrants is a strain on all benefits for Canadian citizens. Citizens should be cared for first and foremost.

his comments about working positively with Russia and appeasing putin are opinions not facts. The fact is WE ARE BROKE. We you me cant afford to be spending money on Ukraine as much as it pains me to say. We are going to go bankrupt and then we wont be able to help ourselves. We cannot continue to spend BORROWED MONEY. Are you willing to have the value of your hard earned dollar to fight a never ending battle. The truth is not a pretty one. Everytime we borrow money the quality of your life and your families diminishes. Not Ok with that. its a fucking struggle out here. and i know it is for you too. Mr Trudeau I think i just made it make sense. We cant afford it. War must end at all costs. or we are fucked.
Argues against spending on Ukraine based on Canada's financial constraints and the economic burden on citizens' quality of life.

The USA will gladly stand aside and let Canada take over funding the Ukraine war. US citizens have currently taken on a tax burden around $1000/tax payer. Get ready to tighten your belt Justin.

The US will be the big loser. Countries that impose tariffs are shooting themselves in the foot. The only thing Trudeau got wrong was calling Donald a smart guy. Bully yes, smart, no.
