Trudeau is also a dictator. We would rather Canada pay tariffs than for US citizens to pay high taxes. It makes more sense. If the products are worth it, they will still sell.

I don’t agree with giving incentives of money to newcomers like why? and maybe on a very limited time not a longer period of time. And child benefits should not be given until they’re working and contributing. Because I have heard of a story of a woman who had like three or four kids and she said that I don’t need to work. I have child tax benefit coming in and they were refugees.
Critiques government incentive programs for newcomers and welfare policies, supported by an anecdotal example presented as evidence of policy problems.

woo, now Justin cares about normal people. But why do you still take money from normal people's pockets and hand over to Ukraine? why can't you take your own money from your own pockets?

This happened because Trump makes stuff up and doesn’t understand anything, to incl the consequences of his nonsense. Trump believes he’s playing 4D chess, when really he’s just performing and trying to look like a legit POTUS, the same way he does all kinds of silly stuff to pretend he’s some kind of genius businessman.\n\nThe fact that he kisses Putin’s butt and talks about falling in love with that lunatic who runs North Korea while insulting every friendly nation who calls us a friend is disgusting.
Critiques Trump's decision-making and foreign policy approach while making moral judgments about his character and alliances.

Québecois here. I cant wait for the AI french audio track to send this to my father. I keep telling him about how Canada is f***ed by immigration just like France and UK but he dont believe me. I explain to him that's because of the 101 law that make difficult for non-french speaker to come in Québec. Almost like a law for the preservation of the language and culture is a good thing.
Discusses Quebec's language preservation law (Bill 101) as immigration policy, comparing Canada's situation to France and UK, arguing restrictive policies are beneficial.

As an American, I am so angry and disgusted with how our government here has put millions of American’s livelihood at mind blowing risk and their disrespect to many countries where we have built relationships with for decades and affect the livelihoods of the people of those countries; all to manipulate the markets for billionaires and corrupt criminals. That is what we get when we elect criminals against all warnings given over the last decade.

These applicants were on a TEMPORARY student visa and a TEMPORARY work visa. Do not muddy the issue by terms like Racism, Genocide, Fairness, Persecution etc. All TEMPORARY holders must be traced and made to leave the country. In this digital age, comments by the various government agencies (IRCC, CBSA etc.) not being able to track the illegals is a lame excuse.
Critiques government agencies' inability to track and enforce removal of temporary visa holders, focusing on bureaucratic failure.

Not a fan of what Trudeau has done to my country over his time in office but credit where credit is due; that speech was articulate, factual and tactful. Well said Mr. Trudeau.
