Very good summary. I will add that our I know you wanted to be concise and you nailed it. For anyone who is curious about how our politics make everything worse for us federally, let me explain it in a short time.\n\nTrudeau as of the day of this video, March 3, 2025, is STILL the PM. He said he WOULD resign once a new leader was picked through a democratic process. Right now, he's basically just doing photo ops in Ukraine, UK and anywhere else on our dime because Parliament is prorogued and the party in power, Liberal, is having a leadership race. So, while he may resign within the week once that leadership race is done, he's still technically in charge.\n\nWhat makes that race and the PM's prorogation so bad is that we're in the middle of a crisis - several actually - caused in part directly by Trudeau and his Liberals (and the NDP supporting them). The latest would be Trump's tariffs starting today, March 4, 2025. Trudeau always disappears during a crisis, leaving us to fend for ourselves - (1) COVID, he was at the cottage using every excuse not to be accountable for anything or using unconstitutional powers to crush a protest he didn't know how to handle, (2) Chinese spies, he's ignoring our intelligence service, (3) federal worker strike, he's in NYC at some gala.... I could go on but there's a reason we're hurting so bad.\n\nWe have zero federal leadership, and a federal government that makes things worse for us with things like: over-regulation, subsidizing media to keep us misinformed, nerfing select natural resource sectors but favoring others (oil and gas suffer, while coal is fine... probably because we sell it to China, but I digress), letting criminal out of jail, uncontrolled immigration, passing policies like the FHSA that drive home prices higher and higher, and of course, more and more taxes. I could go on about the billions in taxpayers' money the government blows - it's like a black hole - or the fact that MPs keep getting raises - April 1 is their fifth since COVID - and most federal and government employees are all getting raises at a time when the rest of us are learning to get by with less and less because we're taxed so much and housing, groceries, etc. are so unaffordable.\n\nI have applied for US citizenship. I want to stick around to fix Canada, but I think it's too far gone. We have too many socialists/communists in power and they're not getting voted out any time soon. It's been fun Canada, it's been fun.

You mention that Americans are 30% more expensive than Canadians but you dont mention that the US is far more unequal with a Gini coefficient of 0.41 vs 0.35 in Canada. Now there is also a known issue with using GDP data to calculate productivity and that is that in sme countries the labor of GDP is much lower than in others. You then end up with Irish productivity being the second highest in the world only because most large US corporations operating in the EU register there to pay lower taxes but most of that revenue is just on paper for Ireland. or with Guyana whose oil and mining revenue makes it productivity equal to that of the US. Maybe that is the case, but is it? and if so why is the average wage in Guyana so much lower? so choosing only one specific stat can make any point of view seem true. you have to look at the bigger picture.\nnow the issue is Canada has been getting more unequal but it is still much better than the US. so what it means is that the higher worker productivity in the US benefits corporations and billionaires far more than it benefits the average American. now if we compare cost of living say between NYC and Toronto:\nCost of Living in Toronto is 37.5% lower than in New York, NY (without rent) \nCost of Living Including Rent in Toronto is 47.1% lower than in New York, NY \nRent Prices in Toronto are 59.2% lower than in New York, NY \nRestaurant Prices in Toronto are 34.5% lower than in New York, NY \nGroceries Prices in Toronto are 33.0% lower than in New York, NY \nLocal Purchasing Power in Toronto is 7.2% higher than in New York, NY \nand this is similar when comparing almost all large Canadian cities with a comparable US one. And whilst housing and NIMBYIsm is real issue you have very similar issues in the US which also has almost no mix zoning. But throw in safety nets and go ask Canadians if they want to change for the US system. I doubt most will. Sure some want things to change but some assuming everyone wants an ultra capitalistic society. most are ok with less growth ut better balanced growth (the exact opposite of the boom and bust US model)

Claiming Canada is a single US State is unjust, as far I'm concerned. All the provinces get recognition, or America can forget the whole idea.

Canada has basically 2 army divisions, the US has 4 paratroop divisions, and the planes to deliver them. 51st state is serious as it gets.
2025-03-03 0
All joking aside, Canada has been able to form a symbiotic relationship of mutual benefit with the United States since even before NAFTA 1. But.......... right now it is almost like a 51st state and I do not mean that in a joking way. US states are always competing with each other, but what prevents things like, oh say the American Civil war from happening is the Federal apparatus keeps them in line for the good of the empire as a whole. \n\n If Canada is like a 51st state, then it is competing with the other 50 states in a way that all 50 of them are going to get upset about. So either the states complain, or you treat Canada as an economic competitor. Mexico being behind the United States and Canada is what makes it a good candidate for a symbiotic relationship. For all its problems, Mexico has a Christian population (with some indigenous traits) that goes well with America. Their nations different economic status means we can support them and they can support us doing different things for countries of different development stages.\n\nCanada being so similar to the United States will want that as well and will never outbid the United States. Again this is seen as a hostile economic competitor. \n\nIts not Canada or Americas fault. After 2007 and the lies about fanny and Freddie, leman bros, mortgage backed security's, and a cash shortage that was not real. How was it real if the offshore exchanges did nothing? 2007 was not financial in origin it was our global monetary system seizing up. To say Wall Street greed and MBSs did it would be like saying a single drop of cement turned the ocean to cement.\n\nBut something did. Something turned the market from liquid to concrete, it happened in France decades before......\nFinancially packaged items could no longer be priced or traded.

If my country doesn't get housing costs under control they're in serious trouble. The average house in the town I live in is something like 900K and there's basically no local economy. With costs so high I can't afford to start a family. If we keep gaining old folks needing healthcare while keeping housing expenses high and wages low taxes will have to keep going up.\n\nI am not going to continue to pay huge portions of my income for the benefit of the elderly while I can't afford a decent lifestyle. I don't want to but it seems moving to the US or elsewhere is the only option if things continue this way. At list point the local governments are so invested in denying housing permits and abusing zoning laws to prevent housing being built that the only way to fix it would be to strip the provinces and cities of the right to decide their own zoning bylaws. \n\nI want to see a change in the constitution that makes zoning bylaws illegal. There are too many people thinking of their self interest and not of the Nations interest. We deserve to lose the right to decide what can be built in our neighborhoods. We have been abusing this right for too long

Canada needs to stop living beyond its means. Get rid of un-necessary ministries, involvements in private sector that isn't mandated. A Canadian DOGE would be good too, to look line by line to get rid of waste, abuse, corruption. Stop electing the Liberals which like the US Democrats just spend the public money to buy votes like a drunken sailor.

It is pretty bad and the same Liberals that put us in this state might get re-elected. Most of my friend group have given up on owing their own home.

Im going to be fully honest. Trump usually ends up saying something completely stupid and absurd at the time, but in the future there ends up being some truth to it. It's like he can see the future or something. So imagine if Canada gets so bad, that some Canadian provinces secede from Canada and join the US. ?

Brain drain is definitely a big issue. I heard from someone that if you're a US citizen you are required to pay US taxes even if you don't live there and honestly I kind of wish Canada would do the same. If this country raised you and educated you and gave you all the opportunities you've had in your life thus far, you shouldn't get to just up and leave without paying anything back.

Modi Bhakta should first Entrospect what modi govt did and doing for indian youths during last 10 years and presently.

Something is not adding up. Just stop the bus and get them off the bus. Something is wrong. That is an extremely easy stop. They even know the buses. Stop them. ICE can do that. Or they step off the buss into a deportation bus. That way whoever is paying for the bus ride to the hotel can still get paid. Something is not right. Somebody is ripping us off.

3:16 why do we have to care so much for the opportunities of foreigners? They have infiltrated our government and weaponized our care for them against us. Canadians are dying over it, being forced to forfeit our taxes AND healthcare AND police protection AND housing AND cost of living. they don't care for us at all. They have no care about our opportunities they only make demands. All they contribute to is the natural GDP of their being here. They think coming here to replace us makes them good people, and we should appreciate them for giving us all of this diversity. it's madness and half of my family died over it the past few years. please make them leave. Stop letting them in and get them out of our government.

This is pretty common in the US. Since most delivery drivers don't carry coins some people think that they can bully them into giving more back. I usually asked for a card and then took the food back if they refused. If they don't care that the money they take comes out of the driver's pocket why should I care that they didn't get to eat the food they ordered?

Canadian doctors don’t want to communicate with their patients by email or phone because they want us go in person so they will get paid. You cannot call in and ask to repeat a medication either you have to go in and visit them in person so they can get paid. My last visit to my family doctor presented like 8 missed appointments with her and wanted\n me to pay.? I asked where did you generate those from? She claimed the system.?‍♀️ I ended up paying for one only which was a physical app. I knew about and she waved the and still make mi paid.

This is because the quiff in charge up here doesn't require Mexicans to have a visa. We up here are waiting to get rid of this spineless twerp. There are countless areas where it is unattended; some being almost unattainable to reach ,but there are also countless places unattended that are not so hard to reach. We up here are mostly uninformed about these numbers and if most of us knew? would have put pressure on our government. These numbers are quite alarming and if published on a national level? Canadians would be very concerned AND would understand what President Don was explaining to justify the tariffs.\nGOD BLESS AMERICA

sorry Tyler, didnt know where to send this talk, hope it gets to you. I recently watched a You Tube video from a couple, who had never been in Canada, it was quite amazing, think it was called something Southern or so. one of the main things, the gentleman was looking for is they had travelled from the west trough Toronto to the East and threw their arms up, saying, where are all the police, they had only seen 1 cop car in the city on their visit. secondly, he was dissappointed he could see where the hoods were, he wanted to see the Crackheads. (we dont have hoods like they do in the US)., another thing was he was sad because he couldnt find any Moose while they were driving from Niagara Falls to Toronto. Love your shows and talks. keep it up, thanks

Over the last 4 years Quatar donated over 24 BILLION to top North American Universities to ensure they get their Islamist students a student visa and enrollment. So they can have many Islamists to OUTBREED us as they have been instructed to do.

I've seen a program to get citizenship. Join the US military. What too good for it? You get free housing and food. They all look like military age males. Don't worry they take females as well.

So let me get this staight. Criminals allowed into Canada and then cross the border in the US\nHow did they get into Canada in the first place. Oh yea, Trudeau let them in with little or no vetting. No wonder Trump is doing what he is doing to Canada . Trudeau has got to go. Resign and someone else as PM.

OH NO WAIT A MINUTE I FORGOT IF YOU WAIT UNTIL ICE CATCHES YOU, YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO MAKE LEGAL ENTRY. I THINK FOR 20 YEARS SO YOU BETTER RUN LIKE HELL WHILE YOU CAN.

Fake! \nWhy would they go to the US to get deported?
2025-02-24 0
So they must have a passport and are either legal in Canada, or overstay visa?\n\nOr they are criminals, spies or terrorists. Because crossing upper state New York in February seems like they have strong motivation to get into the US. Canada is generally very accomodating to immigration

Really?? Over 95%of the illegal guns confiscated in the Greater Toronto Area were smuggled in from the USA. Who needs protection from who? You're killing us up here. Please do some real reporting and interview the municipal authorities in Canadian cities. And then control the easily acquired firearms that end up in Canada . You're just entertainment, that's all! Lol get a life

Last year, Walmart Canada reported gross revenue of $6 billion, up 1.8% from the previous year. \n \n In 2022, Home Depot brought in approximately 12 billion Canadian dollars of sales. \n \n Costco In Canada and through its international ventures the company generated 34.9 billion and 35.3 billion U.S. dollars, respectively. \n \n you get the point. \n \nThis is scary \n \nA foreign company in Canada does not have a specific time frame to keep its profits in a Canadian bank; however, according to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), most business records, including profits, must be kept for a minimum of six years from the end of the last tax year they relate to. \n \nKey points to remember: \n \nNo legal restriction on withdrawal: \n \nThere is no law that forces a foreign company to keep its profits in Canada for a specific duration. \n \nThis is just a few of the companies from the US that take $100 billion+ out of our economy every year and put it in US banks. why do we let them. they should keep that money in canada. interest rates for loans would go down. \n \n \nAI Overview from google \n \nWhen banks have more money, interest rates tend to go down. This is because a larger money supply increases the amount of credit available, which lowers the cost of borrowing.

It's not a group of 7 people at that gas station - it's 7 young men. Not families, not women and children, but MEN. Only men. And if they are now not able to get across into the US, what is Canada doing with them? Giving them temporary work visas? Canada is a mess.

Such BS!! Any fool that falls for these lies hasn’t a clue. \n\nI made it only a few minutes into this video as it is obvious BS. \n\nYou all forgot about building a wall from Maine to Washington state. We know that Trump was able to build easily breached walls on the Mexican border his last term. How many miles of new border wall was built? Oh wait, Bannon also was getting money to build a wall.. oh wait, they did nothing but stole the money? Bannon was convicted and got a wrist slap as he kept millions of YOUR money \n\nYou MAGA fools!! Jeezus your ignorance and support of a felon con man may well destroy the US. \n\nI’d love to know Jefferson or Lincoln might say about MAGA. \n\nNo, I’m not referring to the sitcom or the car! ?

Roxam rd is a way the immigrants use to cross to New York from Quebec Canada. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) protect that crossing and had journalists arrested for reporting on it. Canada has always backed the U.S. but a tyrannical government is collapsing our country just like the UK and Australia. WE NEED YOUR HELP. Stop trying to punish Canadians and HELP US get rid of this insane progressive liberal government that is choking the life out of Canadians. If not… Canada will become ChinIndia by the end of 2025 and will be fully controlled by tyrannical communism , and globalists.

The US population getting old, 50% fewer marriages, and couples have fewer or no kids. What are they going to do to replace the aging workforce? Trump has no mechanisms. Canada uses immigration to keep the economy going. The USA will pay for it. It is starting, who will tend the fields, small startups are mainly started by immigrants. Innovation will stop.

They gave rides to terrorists who broke into our country?!?! U know we also trained the terrorists to fly for 9-11 also. Maybe if we keep going our Democratic leaders ( I use that term loosely) can have us blown up on purpose because when u import terrorists 9-11 is what happens! Joe Biden and Kamala Harris should be arrested and tried for treason!!!!! If u can’t get Joe then go after Kamala aka border Czars. This is criminal they know full well what can happen when we allow terrorists in this country! Disgusting!

Hey look up, Roxam Road we took millions of migrants from the States in from Turdeaus welcome to Canada tweet. The Turd govt put them up in high end hotels here also. They just trashed them. \nRight now a migrant can get close to 5g in $ and supports here. It was an attack on both of our countrires. Sadly you had Biden for 4 years. We have had the Turd for 10. If this country does not get a conservative majoroity we are screwed. \nWe have had the longest ynsecure border forever and the vast majority of Canadiands want fentany gone and a secure border back. \nA strong North America is in both our best our interests. Please give us a chance to get our Majority Conservatives in and don't listen to the liberals and ndp they are Biden x100.

I thought this was factual reporting not propaganda fear mongering. You're making all immigrants out to be bad when only a small percentage are garngs and criminals, much like the citizens of the USA too. This channel seriously distorts the truth and panders to right wing extremism. \nThe Trump regime has brainwashed 77 million Americans. Maybe they will wake up when they see that his administration is DOGEing everything needed for citizens in order to give massive tax cuts to billionaires. Do you all not see this? You're being screwed of by a fascist megalomaniac and his cronies. Musk is cutting aid to hungry children and trying to manipulate to deregulate government and get more funding for himself to make himself even more rich. The richest man in the world does zero philanthropy! The US gov't has given him millions in subsidies.\nAnd blinded manipukated right wingers in the US call the people who actually see what is going on 'sheeple' and tell them to 'wake up'. How ironic.\nIf you're a working class citizen, this regime is fucking you over. How's the price of eggs now?
