Wow, we have no idea where these people are, if these students are even in Canada, we don't know who left the country. What the he'll is happening . Who decided it was India that can send us millions of people and we are going to be ok. Who asked us the citizens, the taxpayers if this os ok with us that they steal our money and take away from our kids the privilege of living in their own houses, when they moved from the parents. The stupid government, mess up too much, is there anyway we can keep them accountable? I want jail time for them. I'm sure I'm not the only one .

American here. My take? This is not about protectionism this is about isolationism. \nWhy would Trump want this? This is about becoming the first American dictator of the Western Hemisphere. \nHyperbolic? Nope. Trump controls the Senate, House, Doge, Project 2025 is in the White House, all the branches of the Defense Department, the Attorney General and his offices, six of the nine seats on the Supreme Court, and assigned over 250 Federal judgeships to the Federal courts which are a lifetime appointment. The ONLY thing that is standing in the way of Trump are the Federel judges that actually understand the constitution and do not want to destroy this nation. The fly in the ointment? Courts can issue an order based on the constitution or our laws, but does not have any way to enforce them if Trump should just disregard their order. That is how close we are to a dictatorship.\nWake Up America.?\n P.S. Sorry Canada! Coalesce, find new trade partners, and leave the United States behind. We are no longer worthy of your friendship.
American commenter expresses alarm about authoritarian threats and urges Canada to distance itself from the U.S., framing it as a geopolitical comparison.

This is what a leader looks like. Take some advice from an american. Don't place your government in the hands of the inexperienced or the unfit, especially during wartime. It 47 wants to annex you as the 51st state. Your personal space is being encroached upon. Its not about fentanyl nor the border. It's about domination and submission. You need a wartime leader. Not the inexperienced banker, etc...etc. You haven't much time to rewind and reset. Don't do what the idiots and the idiocracy did here.
Warns of U.S. domination and annexation threats, framing Canada's situation as urgent wartime danger requiring strong leadership.

Trump's plan is to be a dictator. Tariffs, lack of access to education, lack of affordable healthcare, lack of affordable housing, lack of access to nutritious food causes American's to focus their attention on basic needs Shelter and Food.
