Discourse Analysis

Immigration is a federal responsibility, not provincial and Canada should remain a welcoming country to all immigrants imo, but, if you're here on a work or student visa, newcomers should have to prove employment, training, full-time enrollment, and residency on a quarterly basis. It would drastically limit people becoming ghosts in the system. Refugees and asylum seekers should be allowed 1 appeal only and removed immediately if their claim has been denied. A 90-day grace period should be enacted to get their paperwork and affairs in order. If you're here for a better life, steps should be taken to ensure you're actively trying to accomplish that goal until citizenship is granted. Jmho.

There is nothing he says or does that makes him look competent

It never ceases to amaze me what Trudeau did to our country. None of this was necessary.

It's not a trade war it's evening up the tariff. Stop lying

The U.S. has zero credibility with it's historical allies right now. No country or it's leadership can take the U.S. at it's word in any treaties or trade deals with Donald Trump at the helm. His word is completely useless. It is pointless to enter into any kind of an agreement with the U.S. under the current administration.

Liberals f ucked Canada

we need to stop accepting people in the country

Professor Jeffrey Sachs put it well regarding Trumps deficits with countries and so charging them tariffs…. “it’s like you maxed out your credit card all over town and then blamed the businesses who sold you those goods and services for selling them to you”!!

The immigration minister is harder to listen to than Chrystia "Freeload" was. Paid incompetence on full display!

Trudeau is not for Canadians...he is for himself at the expense of Canadians.

Too much empty talk, no substance. Majority of Albertans don’t agree with your point of view. Why is she wasting time and money on unnecessary referendum??? Senate is a part and parcel of Parliamentary democracy, madam. You are steering around and avoiding to fix the problems in Education, Healthcare, and green energy infrastructure. You are not sending extra money to Ottawa as you are referring to the transfer payments among provinces. The last formula was signed up by the ex Rt Hon PM Stephen Harper, who won his seat in Calgary AB.

Trudeau!! What are you doing??? You are NOT the PM of Canada any more! You call Trump a dictator at the expense of Canadians??? You are increasing the tariffs FOR Canadians?? How idiotic!!!! Get OFF!!!!!

Bittersweet that we might not have someone as equipped to deal with this trade war soon. overall disagree with trudeau but he’s handled this well

This is the work of the Liberal Government.

Just 2 years ago she ran a program called, 'Alberta is Calling.' Smith lobbied the Federal Government to allow *double* the amount of immigrants Alberta could accept. arguing that Alberta’s "economic miracle" required a massive influx of labor. Ironically this immigration problem is something she lobbied and negotiated with Ottawa for. Her recent shift is just her way to point the finger at someone instead of recognizing her own failures; which created a 6.4 billion dollar deficit.

Immigration is essential for Canada to survive.. but... it needs to be a reasonable, controlled intake. Global situations have pushed Canada to take more than they could manage. We don't need to stop immigration, just get control of it again. Also, yes, people coming in need to become Canadian... if you come here it's because you expect it to be better than where ever you left... so you need to embrace what's here, not try and change what's here to whatever you left.

Trump economic nonsense !!

NOT NEARLY ENOUGH

He can grandstand all he wants. You dont keep your word, then your word becomes meaningless.

Trump-Administration ist a Gouvernement of destruction.
