This is a disaster FJB ?

I want to clarify something a lot of Canadians get wrong: Biggest bank of Canada is actually Desjardins but it is not controlled by OSFI because back 1995 everyone knew Québec was going to seperate from Canada. It got the approval from Canada, the support and recognition from multiple UN countries so Canada went ahead and did all the paper work in advance to prepare Québec for independence and because Québec was to keep using Canadian dollars, Desjardins the biggest bank in Québec became allowed to print its own Canadian cash... But then disaster: The 1995 referendum failed by 50 thousand votes and so Québec stayed in Canada and Desjardins won the lottery like the Federal reserve in the US did. Now Desjardins is the biggest bank of Canada. https://youtu.be/DwGnoDutrQI \nThe socalled big 6 tradditional banks are more like the bank of OSFI because it is OSFI that controls them. But Desjardins is in direct competition with OSFI and free to do pretty much whatever it wants and because it is french it is one of the sources of the jealousy you hear a lot from english canadians when they talk about the unfair favoritism the Canadian govt has towards the french Canadians.

Why is Canada having Bidens illegals flooding in this is Bidens mess he open Boarder know he was causing a disaster. But are biden and Trudolf trying to remove Boarders from Mexico to Canada because that's what the WEF wants why are Canadians pay high taxes to a criminal Government.

I think the best reasons for people to want to live in Canada is for the safety. Laws of no violence and no weapons in public. Our rapid response of Police, Fire and medical (there are bills for the Ambulance and Fire response so we do get billed at times, which also can be brought to our judicial system and potentially the bill can be dropped). \nAll across the world people need safety for their families and Canada takes refugees in large quantities. Refugee families are given a sponsored house, vehicle, paid for bills (including medical and educational) and a paid food allowance to live in until they stabilize themselves with full time work and when they are ready they can make room for other refugee families in need. \nWe have a huge area of land that is underdeveloped and there are plenty of opportunities for work in the infrastructure field. \nCanada is known across the world to host friendliness amongst its free citizens. \nAlso we aid any country in need and are the first country to respond to any natural disaster world wide. \nWe have our flaws but we feel safe and cared for with those flaws.

we dont get used to the homeless people. Truth is this is new and its all Justin Trudeau's fault: During covid he shut down the economy by force arresting anyone that refused to stop working, it caused millions to lose their jobs and become homeless. Worst part is he did this while keeping his mass propaganda to get people to immigrate here: The perfect recipe for disaster!

A colleague was a bank manager in the south. Medical insurance up the ying-yang. When he had a heart attack, the bank fired him. This resulted in the loss of his insurance, his home and investments, ...and he was reduced to working part time for a pittance at a major retailer. Fortunately for him, he'd had the good sense to marry a Canadian years before this disaster. She and her family moved him to Canada where he received free medical care and continuing support, enabling him to thrive. His career was blown but his wife picked up the ball and built a real estate sales business in Canada.

There are so many scary things about the US right now. Drugs, crime, mass murders, accessibility to healthcare, terrorism, racial hate crimes, etc. The list is quite long. Not everyone is affected by all of these things (knock on wood). One thing that is disgusting is politics. It is not dangerous per se as the aforementioned so it is probably not fair to say it as a justification against moving to the US. However, it is very commonplace in the US, and it is very annoying. Politics is extremely toxic, aggressive, and divisive right now. One wrong comment out of your mouth in public, and people will be ready to fight you. Or on the flip side, you hear one wrong comment in public, it is best to bite your tongue. \n\nPolitics in the US was not always intolerable. It has always been a strong subject of discussion since forever. However, it became disgusting and overly obnoxious ever since Trump came into the scene. I think his elitist personality gave his supporters a green light to be more vocal about their own divisiveness. Combine that with social media, and you have a recipe for disaster... so much hate, divisiveness, and willingness to not bite one's tongue right now in the States. American politics is really overbearing. And monkey see and monkey do... it will leak into Canada. I guarantee it.

Everybody knows why this is happening why do you ask such ridiculous questions Joe Biden wants this to happen my orcas wants it to happen he's a complete disaster he acts like he doesn't have a clue he doesn't even know what the armbands are they asked him last week one of these armbands that all these Mexicans are wearing across the border I don't know he's completely incompetent the whole group needs to go there just totally incompetent all the way and their bum rushing our border Millions at a time this is going to cause problems for 20 years

Vancouver made me depressed too. Even worse, I have Raynaud’s syndrome, and that was a disaster for my hands.

Aren’t we fortunate in the US to have **none** of these problems!\n\nWe have no homeless here!\n\nTake a look at SF, LA (where all “solutions” are rooted in Bolshevism; “Hi, we’re from the government and will be taking over half of your front yard for homeless yurts (Ok, tents)--true story. Take a gander at any large, medium, and even a few small cities.\n\nHave you ever heard of Detroit (once proud home of my beloved Motown music), Baltimore (complete devastation), or Chicago (my home town—don’t make me cry)?\n\nThe entire homeless situation started when mental hospitals were snake pits and certain factions demanded that people be released.\n\nSure, it sounds humanitarian but they didn't bother to consider what would happen to mentally ill patients suddenly left to their own devices on the streets.\n\nThe do gooders actually were foolish enough to believe that the seriously ill patients (schizophrenic, bipolar, borderline, and plenty of others) would take their meds on their own. It doesn't work that way for patients who are not in contact with reality.\n\nNow we add extreme drugs (crack, meth, heroine, ketamine, whatever they hand out at parties, etc) and severe cases of PTSD/PTSS. It's obscene that we have veterans on the streets.\n\nHeath care--?. Pre Obamacare it wasn’t terrible but medicine had become a CYA project. We are so litigious (side eye to John Edwards ) that doctors practice defensive medicine and carry high limit malpractice insurance (guess who pays for that?). Every decision is driven by avoiding lawsuits, not proper patient care.\n\nPost Obamacare, US health care is an unmitigated disaster at every level. We’re short on doctors, too. Many quit and students are losing interest—medicine won’t pay enough anymore to justify $500K in loans.\n\nWe could repeal every bit of Obamacare tomorrow and still not be able to fix it. The leviathan grew tentacles that released toxins into every nook and cranny of the system. Now that they have buried themselves in critical layers, it would be impossible to yank them out.\n\nI have a good PCP who is booked 6-8 weeks out. Specialists? Hah. GI, neuro, and derm? Four to six month wait post referral.\n\nI never thought I would say such a thing but I would probably swap the Serial Sexual Predator occupying the WH for your Little Lord Fauntleroy.\n\nCan Canada compete with us in corruption? Government employees seriously tried to topple a sitting president and not only were there no consequences, they were able to retire on fat pensions that we citizens work hard to provide for them.\n\nOur government is run entirely by K Street lobbyists; our “representatives” don’t even draft legislation, that’s done for them by K ST.\n\nHow about crime? Do we even need to talk about it?\n\nHousing crisis? Prices were already too high when the regime (predictably) created runaway inflation and we saw the end of affordable interest rates. Even 0.25% increase will knock out many buyers; they won’t be able to qualify.\n\nWe are seeing huge jumps; young people have resigned themselves to never being homeowners.\n\nRacism? Again, look to the US. It’s nothing even close to what the make believe media caterwauls about. If white supremacists are behind every tree, where is the evidence? Surely, in 2023 has caught a cell phone video, right? Where are the videos? Show me the proof. There is plenty of footage of BLM destroying property and injuring, even murdering innocents. If we gripe about this behavior, we are raaayyyycccciiiiissssts.\n\nNo rational adult would claim that the US is not a violent country and becoming more so. Nor can we claim to have eliminated racism. That takes time; it cannot be done by force.\n\nOur economy went from smokin hot to dumpster fire in a short span of time. Pre election, head hunters were shaking the trees to find job candidates.\n\nOur unemployment is up as are our taxes with the stomping out of the tax cuts. \n\nDespite the endless sloganeering about how the Trump tax cuts only benefited “rich” people, it’s quite the opposite.\n\nHigh earners lost their pet deductions and lower income taxpayers were quite pleasantly surprised when they did their returns. The cuts were targeted to preserve wealth for the middle and lower classes.\n\nI could go on for another 100 pages but you get the idea and I get crabby writing for free.\n\nI will leave you with the caution that it’s best if you doubt and question any data and any stats coming from our government. Those are seldom legit. If the data comes from a study, always look to see who paid for it. And how large the sample size was; how were the participants selected? We are all on our own when it comes to ferreting out info.\n\nOh Canada!\n\nYou’re welcome.

Who imagined that people fleeing the communist country it's a miracle who would have thought socialism was a terrible disaster?

Because of europe's incredibly stupid immigration policy of issuing green cards to anyone, the country will be in a complete disaster in the next ten years. Instead of considering the applicants' abilities, education, and social backgrounds, the lottery and messed up human rights laws have led to a massive influx of people who enter the nation illegally and covertly. These people are a plague on humanity because they live off handouts and reproduce like pigs in groups of dozens after entering the country.

What a disaster!

Great job Joe Biden. You intentionally created this disaster.

tHE ONES TO BLAME FOR THIS MADNESS IS THE bIDEN ADMINISTRATION THAT SINCE THE BEGINING OPENED THE BORDERS TO EVERYBODY WHO WANTED TO COME IN. tOTAL DISASTER TO BE PAID BY THE aMERICAN TAXPAYERS.

This is a humanitarian disaster, their tactic is to swarm. Unless we are willing to open fire (which we would not do) they will not stop. Call in the national guard and the US Army Engineers Corps. We must build a barrier that will stop this. We must also fix the intervention policies that leads to this. No one would want to leave their homes if they had the ability to make a living there.

This will reduce the quality of life in the USA. But until reality hits these folks joking around about this disaster, they’ll start to whine and cry and throw tantrums of what they’ll lose

Why are we seeing this problem now?!?!? Come on it was a disaster in the making thanks to Joes administration and policies. When are Americans going to wake up and see that Biden does not have your best interests and would rather create hate and division. You get what you vote for

What a disaster!!!!

Biden please leave the office \nwhat disaster you caused in usa border please god help

This is INFURIATING!!!! THIS IS ALL ON YOU BIDEN, You Worthless Disaster!!!!!!

Close the border! Until we can sort this disaster out, it’ll only get worse

Since the election, everything has been a disaster. By 2024, where is the US dollar evening going to stand? Inflation, higher taxes, more spending, and mass invasion at the border for tax payers to have to cover more for their medical, housing, etc. I think this administration wants to historically do the worst. Because how else could it be this bad so fast without it being a goal?

America will disaster and dangerous FAKE by migrants I suggest US all overseas migrants and students deportation as soon as possible

loa venezuelans make a lot of disaster in foreign countries... they just want to demand and that the government maintain them, hopefully they return them to their country of origin with their beautiful dictatorship that is where they should demand\n\nhow dare they cause disorder in foreign countries?!

Another disaster from Joe Biden

bruh build Mexico and fight for Mexico not the United States because yall literally can't. the opportunity for real leadership is where yall are already at. it's too late here in the U.S you'll just be joining the rat race. the cartel ain't big enough to win if you all fought back and sometimes you got to fight fire with fire. these people clearly need leadership and someone with a voice to give them courage otherwise this will get worse and lead to nothing but death, deprivation, illness, and just sheer disaster

This is a complete disaster

They are building homes for illegal immigrants seeking asylum here in Washington. But they have vets sleeping on the streets. \n\nComplete disaster

Venezuelans, Nicaraguans and Cubans should be let in, considering the state of their countries in terms of human rights abuses and economic and social disaster.

This is what happens when our government Sends false hope out To attract foreign voters. You tell the rest of them to come join the party as if our country has enough to offer . They are creating more of a disaster than it already is . This should have been done with honesty. We have no room. And we have to get our self together before we can have company

Welcome to Bidens disaster!\nHe is letting chaos erupted to delay him and his son corruption prosecution

Joe Biden is a disaster to America and the whole world.

never go to cuba for medical procedures, the country is a disaster and the money you spend is use by the dictatorship to attack the population that are technically slaves

What a mess this disaster of an administration has brought us.

One of the mentions in this article states Canada's oil and natural gas production is declining? The fact is Canada is selling more oil than it ever has. Takeaway capacity (pipelines) is increasing in Canada allowing for more oil production and will be increasing again by 2024 as additional takeaway capacity construction is completed. As far as Canadian oil sands oil being expensive to produce, the reality is the operators in the oil sands have reduced costs of production dramatically. The advantage of the oil sands is that Canadian oil producers do not have to spend heavily on exploration as they know where the oil is. Also, you will never have an ecological disaster like the Deepwater Horizon with Canada's oil sands. New oil discoveries off the coast of Nfld.& Lab. will be developed. Canada is a major oil exporter & Canada's oil reserves are the 4th largest oil reserves in the world. In Natural gas, Canada ranks as having the 18th largest world reserves. As far as natural gas there is the coastal link pipeline under construction and LNG facilities under construction on the west coast of Canada. These are over $40 billion projects the largest $ projects in the history of Canada.\n Much of Canada's wealth is in the ground. As the world demand increases for rare earth metals, copper, aluminium, steel, nickel, etc Canada is well-positioned to supply world markets. Canadian mining companies operate worldwide and the Canadian miners are both very experienced and good operators. \n You failed to acknowledge that Canada is a major agricultural producer country. In fact, Canada is a bread basket country that exports a lot of agricultural products, meat, and a large fishery industry.\n The article also fails to acknowledge Canada has a very well-developed social safety net system that is superior to many countries.

I dare everyone to go take a look at a bunch of data from GDP per capita, Crime, Business investment to immigration...you'll see a massive inflection point from 2015 on... anyone what to guess who came into power in 2015...what a disaster.

Sure, tough times ahead for some in Canada... but, I've got another video about financial disaster... especially for US seniors! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DD9GFL_iOKQ

Canada is a female led society. All companies are headed by women in this day and age, all departments etc. Only menial grunt labour is staffed by men.\nThis is the grand experiment we've watched fail in real time, what happens when women are in charge? Disaster. Great reset. And it's happening, for good reason. Let it.

The biden administration has been a disaster we were better off with Orange man Donald Trump

THANK YOU MEXICAN LAWS MEXICO IS A DISASTER

If América don't stop this and keep accepting this total of immigrants, I'm afraid that America will feel in so much pressure that will do the same thing that President Putin have done with Ukraine. But if we see the full picture of this events, it seens like out there there is a Unites State enemy who is using the brain ? on using this poor people are destructive weapon, motivating them to come, not to help this People, but to bring more cause in the economy of A.erica dn pudding our own people against our self. Think about it! This is not normal, if we can't how much immigrants have already came, we are talking about million of immigrants. What are they go to eat, drink !? Is very simple ! From our own farmers and grocery food. Hunger is the greatest enemy of human kin. When that comes, be aware that this country knows as a great country, will comes in a great disaster.

Damn. This is disaster

We need to focus on ourselves before we let anyone else in. Western couples are having less children also. Most immigrants don't pay taxes. We've got a serious problem coming in the next 25-50 years , I believe America will not be able to return itself from its own self made disaster. We MUST vote Trump in 2024

This has to stop Joe Biden Anne Harris in his administration needs to be held accountable for this Joe Budden started this why will they not hold him for all this I can't afford it anymore my taxes have gone up because of Joe Biden spending money giving away money to Ukraine and all these illegal immigrants get free checks and free health insurance I have to pay out $380 a month for my insurance when is the Republican going to hold him for this disaster angry at Joe Biden bring back President Donald Trump

WE have the same disaster in France.

Bidens USA a fkn disaster.

Sad, very sad situation, unfortunately this country has too many problems that are not being solved. Secretary Of immigration Majorca says in congress that we do not have a severe immigration problem in our country, so what's this a legal crossing? What a disaster.

Biden and barrack should fry for this disaster!

Greed, corruption, genocide, and the travesty we have done to the earth and one another. We are far from an advanced civilization. We are barbaric in many ways. We have created a lying system. An artificial environment. We are so blind to what is actually going on. It's all about dividing people & conquering the people. Fellow humans, please prepare for SHTF, The Apocalypse, End Times, another paradigm shift, Nukular war, an AI takeover, viruses, disease outbreaks, natural clericalism/disaster, and much more. All praise to THE MOST HIGH CREATOR ??
