I wish those American politicians would worry more about USA and let Canadians run our country!!

I think we need to fix our democratic process. Every politician should have at least a masters degree in the ministry they are assigned. I do not expect someone with a history degree managing finance.

Yes, Canada does harbor criminals... look at our politicians

Also love that he is careful to advise that conversations with Canada were great but actions & results is the important part. If I hear one more politician say “We are committed to doing the work” I’m going to vomit. \n\nAction & Results is all that matters.

I like how Tom answered that last question. That's not my pay grade. He's not a politician.

All it took was a foreign politician to make Canadians safe; how sad. Justin MUST GO ASAP

Why Toronto is for garbage, according to Toronto politician

Indians are lucky because Canadians compared to Americans are way too nicer. If Indians did the same thing in the USA what they are doing in Canada, taking advantage of food banks, imposing their culture and not integrating, then they will get beaten by Americans.\n\nedit: This guy blaming Canadians only show how their mentality is. Also India has a culture of sexual assault. Even their politicians blame the victims. That is why there are protest against sexual assault in India.

Look T the policy's Biden is pushing after they lost is crazy giving away money to his friends non profits trying selling the border wall putting a green energy policy in place that they are trying to Trump proof if you lose the election u shouldn't be allowed to do anything like that this country is broken and needs major reform. The democrats are literally like idc what the people want screw them wow what a kick in the face. They've been screwing the public for decades when's the last time are government wasn't against the poor and middle class just look at the stock market manipulation they change rules on the day to hurt people and change orders and halt stocks but allow backedup orders look at what they pulled with gamestop i cant believe the crsp I've seen these past years since cv19 and before that its blatant theft we can do anything at anytime for any reason that's communist worse actually cause at least the communist admit they are corrupt the lying crap is way worse no its not rigged no we ain't stealing well why did u rig it then and steal from people then why can't any politician explain why they are making 20 x there salary a year why don't they have to show where they got it from why does the irs not care why is the fbi stealing treasure finds from people and lying about it after they get caught why is it are whole country has turned to such garbage now dam straight we don't trust a bunch of lying crocks that literally get away with everything when we can't even get a a single thing its just so much its unreal I can go on and on while I'm talking im positive another politician just stole another 1 million dollars like its picking up a dollar off the ground

I just read a post from a migrant that said he's going back to his home country with 300 THOUSAND DOLLARS that was given to him. Don't listen to a word these slimy politicians are saying.

Canadian politicians should worry about becoming 51st state of US

Canada will turn around. A incompetent politician has inflicted such a pain to our beautiful country. We should all fight during these difficult times and bring Canada back. Stay positive, see good things, discuss the potential Canada has and tell others how it will be better soon. God will save our beautiful country.

He's only saying what true brits feel...and don't ever mistake our traitorous politician's and corporations for the will of the people...

Nobody ever mentions,talks about the use of child slave labour in India, more child slave labour then even China uses.\nCanadian politicians and Indian politicians never mention it.

Gee thanks American politicians for putting them and their wants over the needs of the American people

Canada was so awesome in the 90s and early 2000s. What a horrible place our politicians have created.

Big BS! The crisis on rent started back in 2013 thanks to Stephen Harper! At that time, rent in Toronto was already in 2000. Ottawa started at 1000. There are houses for sale, the problem is that they are unaffordable! I know that because I just bought a property. The problem is that salary is not following the inflation. It is not 10%! Things double prices so it is 100%. Stop blaming foreigners! Blame the politicians who do not know how to solve the inflation problem! ?

Tax money waste so ,thats why illiterate politicians are required for these bastards

Politicians always play safe for their benefits, but any native should never feel a stranger in their own hometown, it's a nightmare, I'm an Indian, from Kerala, I can't think of feeling and outsider in Kerala, so totally understand what people feel in any part of the world. But don't you think, any outsiders coming and occupying the masses seems like a problem with the efficiency of people there, even here in Kerala we used to speak of Tamil population in early 80s and now Bengalis occupying our street, but can we actually blame them? I would say no, we didn't do our job, they came and did the job and now they are in huge numbers. The same happens anywhere in the world. You don't do your job right, someone will come down the job and probably occupy a heart share of the city gradually, for malayalis Kochi esp Aluva is a real time case study for the same.

It’s great to see and hear two well informed Russian immigrants who clearly know what’s wrong with Canada than most of its complacent citizens and mostly all of its politicians. I watch many YouTube videos of westerners,mostly Americans,Canadians, Australians Brits who have emigrated to Russia many with their families. They all have good things to say about their experiences and don’t regret their move.\nWhich begs the question I must ask. Do you two ever regret leaving Russia in light of the frustrations you have seen here or encountered personally in terms of cost of living, crime,culture,government inefficiencies, not so subtle censorship to name just a few issues. \nIt would be nice to hear your thoughts on that subject.

Access to dope is shocking, fentanyl,opiates,marajuana. Canadian politicians are full of wind and honey.

Nothing is going to change as long as people vote for the established parties. Dominant politicians are not interested in transformational change. Same things are happening in New Zealand. Jacinda Ardern when she was Labour PM promised such change. True, Covid interrupted her premiership but even if it hadn't things would have largely stayed the same. No wealth tax or capital gains tax, no reduction in inequality and child poverty from Labour then. Solution, no idea. Perhaps voting Green given the problems facing the whole world?

This was a really great analysis of Canada’s current immigration issues ??. It blows my mind how politicians can make such obvious mistakes. Hopefully (?) this country can regain some balance socially and economically.

The problem is neoliberalism and capitalism. The 2 main political parties are hand in glove with neoliberalism and capitalism. They won't fix anything because they are in bed with corporations and the wealthiest. We need strong unions and way stronger rights for workers. The real reasons for low productivity? 2 weeks of vacation, no sick days, low wage economy etc etc. People are stressed, exhausted and they see work no longer pays. Even those on 60k a year. Capitalism has broken society and so has neoliberalism. I hope you don't become a sounding board for Poilievre...that would be very, very sad. Immigration is indeed a problem and the fact is too many politicians are no longer interested in sound public policy. Politics by slogans to match the news cycle and people's hunger for immediate knowledge through social media is what we see and is preyed on by the powerful.

Yeah the government is going hard after immigrants right now, which is good because there was a lot of abuse and the rate of immigration was far too high, but also it's not the root of the problem where housing is concerned. \n\nIn this way, immigrants are a scapegoat for the housing crisis. They're being offered up as sacrificial lambs to the slaughter by our politicians in the hopes that it will appease voters. But at the same time our politicians also hoping that we don't notice how little they're doing to actually solve the real fundamental problems.\n\nBut solving those problems will require a complete shift in our approach to the finance sector and the tax code, as well as towards city planning and housing policy in general. These are things we can achieve. But not without significant adjustments to the status quo. And if there's one thing the status quo hates, it's changes to the status quo.\n\nSo here's what I expect from our politicians in years to come: more of the same empty promises and half measures. They'll keep doing that until there's a massive market correction and everyone in Canada loses their shirt. And then they'll continue doing the same empty promises and half measures, while hypocritically blaming the rival party for their own failures.

Here we go , open season on immigration , people it is a distraction , use direct this energy to hold politicians accountable, gheeezz

Government does not work for then people, they work for corporate interests. Politicians can be easily purchased through donations and quit pro quo deals.

Thank you, great video. Excellent overview of the issues, which you understand better than most Canadians because you've lived thru the transition.\nWe need your pragmatic reasoning to be heard by politicians.\nI'm not anti-immigration but rather support targeted immigration. We have to make immigration work for Canada and immigrants alike. We have to increase our GDP thru targeted investments in our society.

Deport them already have so many illegal here in Canada . Canadians are struggling to met up the end needs politicians are jokes in Canada

Politicians do away with polling play never get anything right they're like the ship captain we're on course halfway to the bottom

Dude looking disgraceful like Biden\nTime to ditch these old ass politicians

6:40 \nA business men and a stupid men, NO-ONE is ripping off the United States but their stupid own north american politicians, throwing hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukrainian and to the false fake israel. \nBut he wants to blame other countries?…

Canada never had a Prime Minister that wasn't in government to line their pockets. Never met an honest politician yet.

They're going to make groceries cheaper by enacting tariffs and deporting everyone that harvests our crops for low wages - and processes our meats -- those in favor of that should go do those jobs. IF politicians really cared about illegal immigration they'd aggressively investigate and prosecute those that hire them ... IF they didn't know the economy needs that work force ... and IF they didn't love cheap labor more than their children ...

Send a letter back to the Mexican President. Tell her to fire all their politicians. There are ninety nine percent corrupt

This man ll never become PM, he is myopic and fooling the gullible canadians, Canada is under POPULATED, we need to continue to grow our population, its just that politicians need to invest in many things

Corporations rule this nation - not politicians. They don't care about immigration, legal or not, or illegal drugs coming in... they care about sucking the money out of whomever. High prices will stay high, tariffs or not. Vampires exist, people!!

Better speak to your politicians about insuring businesses get a cap on increasing prices..these are the results you get when you elect the rich to handle the middle classes problems. Tada.. middle class no longer exists

That is messed up. To many people voted for this insane. Tarrifs makes you pay more to put more money in politicians richer. More

Isolationism in the modern world doesn’t work, it’s an obsolete philosophy. The global world is far too interconnected, this will prove to be absolutely catastrophic not only economically but also politically. \n\nI’m independent, This in particular is NOT about politics, it doesn’t take a Democrat to conclude these little economic wars with the country we most depend on economically will prove catastrophic. Disagreeing with Trump on this doesn’t mean disagreeing with his presidency, let’s all understand the nuance in politics so we stop blindly agreeing with every choice politicians make just because we like them. \n\nBut ahh yes, Isolating the only two countries we border, the same countries that Russia, and China in particular are actively striving to increase their influence in, what could possibly go wrong Mr.Trump ?

You guys guys are clueless. Mexico's cartels are working with Biden. A 3rd grader sees and understands this! Biden and our politicians are getting kickbacks and hopeful Democratic voters! 30M+ Ilegals, terrorists, criminals, and some descent foreigners who simply want a better life.

I ratherTrump work against Mexico than jump in bed with politicians that are owned by cartels

lols, funny, its known by all in the region that the US is basically mexico's (and all of south america)dump for all their sick and mentally ill they cant take care of themselves cause of their failed states, literally ran by cartels. stop acting like you have a stable country and a president that can actually bring any change. The casualness in how mexican politicians play with cartel members will one day lead to mexico becoming the 51st state, and all things will be well in the world when we have taco-based mc donalds in Mexico DF.

Mexico is run by cartels and the pay politicians in Mexico to allow drugs to enter the US. Im from Zimbabwe, we have police who search drugs at Airports and borders in Africa. Mexico can do this but who funds their government

Im mexican, and all this makes me sad, cause president Trump make American citizens to believe we are all criminals, bad people, that all of us wants to go to USA. And that is not true, a lot of us are happy living in our country, work here, and be with our loved ones here in Mexico. A lot of Mexican people are good people, people that work very hard and people who have big hearts. I hope that American citizens see this. I hope that the thoughts of American politicians are not the same of the American citizens.

I am not Indian or Asian but I don’t blame these poor people. They just come for better life and didn’t come violently here and are ready for work and any work. With regards how they come from a non war zone country to here this country that is a question for the immigration and politicians. I don’t think it is a question for these poor people who just found opportunity to enter and took it

I’m confused on how higher tariffs will mean lower prices why don’t politicians explain that

The female Mexican president has more balls to stand up to Trump, than any of our politicians and media. Leave it to a woman to have some guts.

Of course, prices will go up, but that's not the main issue here. Besides, liberals are the last group who should be complaining about rising costs! The real question is who will suffer the most. President Trump has done this before—if you recall, he did it last time, and within 30 days, Mexico secured the border. She's playing politics right now, as expected, but I guarantee she'll eventually back down. The price increases you keep mentioning will impact their economy far more than ours, and she knows this. It's a negotiation tactic, and in the end, Trump will secure the border. She can't just give in or she'll appear weak. She has to play the political game, but I can guarantee they've already had discussions and are working on a deal. If you believe politicians are always transparent, you're being naive. They say one thing to the public while doing something completely different behind closed doors.

In 1930 American politicians decided to significantly increase tariffs \nand 25 other countries immediately responded by imposing significant tariffs\non American products and the trade war made the depression significantly worse.\n\nTrump's trade war won't likely lead to a depression but it will make things \nworse for almost everyone.\n\nExpect higher inflation, economic stagnation and also economic disruption \nas American companies can't suddenly and magically create new production \nto replace imports and can't do it as cheaply or they would already have been doing that\nand American exporters are going to face tariffs and sanctions imposed \non their products by other countries.\n\nThe extremely integrated car manufacturing industries in the United States, Canada and Mexico could be thrown into chaos.\nAn average car part crosses a border about 8 times during production.\nHow the heck do high tariffs deal with that standard car production situation?\n\nTrump would know all this if he thought about history or\nabout how the North American economy works or thought at all\nbut thinking is not something that appeals to Trump.\nInstead he just spouts out whatever random idea pops into his head \nand calls it policy.
