He’s my Prime Minister!!! ??. Canada has done everything trump wanted but trump (true to form) has moved the goal posts. He never intended to honour his agreement with my country. ??. He’s a dishonourable man and he violated his own free trade agreement with Mexico the US and Canada. We are moving on from trusting the US. I’ve cancelled plans to vacation in the US. I will only buy Canadian or from our trusted allies (EU China Japan etc). I love the US but there are some very bizarre and stupid people in your country. Your greatest weakness. God help us all.
Criticizes Trump's trade policy violations and advocates for consumer action (buying Canadian), with comparative framing of US versus trusted allies.

Makes sense what the US is doing when you understand that the current administration is trying to destroy the middle class... Continuing Reagan's fight against the middle class.

The man talking about the damage these tariffs will caused has cause far more damage to Canadians than the tariffs ever will. Ask anyone trying to buy a house for the past few years! Or ask about the value of the Canadian dollar. These tariffs are least of the Canadian people concerns.
Directly critiques government policy (housing, currency) as more damaging than tariffs, with economic impact analysis.

The massive majority of Indians I've met in Canada have been absolutely kind. I have no ill will for the people. I do have ill will for our liberal government though. There's just too many people coming in at once. In 2025 we had 415,000 new permanent residences. 2024 it was 425,000. The liberal government said they were going to lower immigration and they didn't. They gutted the international student program but they kept the influx of permanent residences coming in because they're not done buying votes.
Distinguishes between people and policy, criticizing government immigration decisions with specific numbers and allegations of vote-buying.

What happened to Canada. They give Permanent residence for that kind of English.

This immigration rule is not being enforced the way the government claims. IRCC is still handing out temporary resident visas—student visas, visitor visas, and visitor visa extensions—too easily. They’re approving 1-year visitor extensions, then another 6 months, and sometimes even another full year if someone applies again. How is that stricter than before? It’s not. The government is misleading Canadians when it says immigration rules are tightening. In reality, it’s becoming more lenient, and it’s frustrating for those of us who follow the rules, pay taxes, and contribute honestly to this country.
Detailed criticism of government immigration enforcement practices with specific claims about visa approvals presented without evidence.

Finally, our dear Prime Minister, you stopped being nice and polite. Being firm and direct in this matter is exactly what Canadians need

Very good report. The labour shortage will only grow as the population gets older. The Trudeau government tried to deal with it but may have gone too far. The Carney government is scaling back but eventually the reality of the labour shortage will dictate the direction. Is it dividing the country? Not sure but there are definitely two camps with business supporting immigration.
Analyzes government immigration policy responses to labor shortages, acknowledges trade-offs, and notes political division while maintaining a balanced, analytical tone.

The officer should have remained calm if the couple has made some mistake or dont have a document. He would have valid reason for not giving the visa if asked why he did not give. Instead he got angry and behaved unprofessionally.

2.9 million housing issues have been resolved for some homeless Canadians. There is a shortage of high-school science teachers. Students have to wait more than a year to get grade 11 physics and other science courses like biology. I think 2.9 million would free up some classes. It's kind of difficult to make doctors in Canada, if you don't have your high-school science. I hope this will free up the healthcare system because it is pure garbage. I have been waiting a year and a half for a surgery! Joke Government. Corrupt and Incompetent! Polygraph, Audit, Drug Test all of Government!! It's a DISGRACE!!
Criticizes government policy on immigration and housing while expressing concerns about resource allocation affecting healthcare and education systems.
