Im an old american army vet. \nI stand with Zelenskyy, Canada, Greenland, Panama, and the EU.

I alone bankrupted 6 business.\nI alone stole $ from my own charity and paid $ 2 MILLION in fines.\nI alone added $ 8.2 TRILLION to our national debt in 4 years playing golf, after I said I will balance the budget in 4 years.\nI alone watch 400,000 souls parish after I reassured the American people that we only have 15 cases, and it will soon be down to ZERO !!!\n\nHaving said that, I alone take no responsibility.

Wow, this guy is very intelligent, he puts some clips he loaded from news or the Internet and unloaded them here to bait the people. They are coming by the thousands but the video shows only a few people. First thing is, people crossing into the USA, it's not upto canada to stop them. If somone enters canada from the USA then its upto canada to stop them from entering, not the USA. If sombody crosses into USA then it's upto USA to block them..\n\nMost of the content in this video is false. People are always trying to cross into other countries illegally, but it's upto the other countries border security to stop them and send them back..\n\nWhat a lie about the bus waiting for these people at the crossing points. LoL...sure sure..\n\nIce is nothing but a reality show, very little reality but it's entertaining to watch because people think it's real. Lol...\n\nTrump used cheap labor to built his Empire. do you guys think he hired Americans to built his luxury hotels, casinos, towers etc? Heck no, he used these very same migrants he claims to be taking your jobs away from you. Guy soreads lies and speaks from both sides of his mouth. Think about it. If you have a business, are you going to hire expansive labor or cheap labour? If you wanna make BIG profits then you knkw who you'd be hiring. Face it. Migrants will do jobs that no one wants and they'll do it for a lot less. \n\nI got a roof put on my House for less then half of what i was quoted. Thanks to the hard working migrants. Take it to the bank, ICE is not created to deport big numbers of migrants back, its created to make it look that way. How would you know how many people they deported, oh yeah, becasue the orange men is going to brag about it and you'll fall for it. Much like this video.

Israel’s government shouldn’t exist \nI’m a American

Thank you President DJT And Tom Homan ????❣️???\nI'm glad l'm a Florida Native American ??.\nYou play me to go to N.Y.

Dear bodacious,\nI totally agree with you. My Mother was Hungarian and she applied for citizenship with my Dad’s help because he had served in WW2 , and he was an American citizen.\nThey did everything the legal way. Mom took classes. Learned English. She was so proud of being naturalized as an American citizen.\nWhy can’t people obey our laws? They have respect for our Sovereignty or all the people, soldiers et al who fought for our freedom to exist and evolve as a nation.\nI agree with Bllood, Sweat, and Fears as well!\nThe President’s Cabinet are working well together: Kash Patel will move the FBI agents out to work the field of our country….hunting down terrorists and criminals. Trafficking in drugs/ sex/ slave labor.\nObama/Biden disobey existing laws. Hope all the stolen money gets frozen by the DOJ

Americans are isolationists coupled with entitlement. \n\nI'm about to move back to Canada after 18 years of mysery

They care for nobody. Read how these left their families and neighbors to fend for themselves.\n\nI remember our first terrorist attack was crossing Blaine to blow up the Space Needle in Seattle New Year’s Year 2000.\n\nSoviet Union was the source of anti-American propaganda throughout the world, the other is the return of \nMilitant by Hillaire Belloc in the early 1930’s.\n\nKeep it up.\n\nSaul Alinsky and globalists want to destroy our boundaries and culture. The innocent poor cone here to live in free market capitalist economy.

My father was an American, I would never move to the USA . I used to enjoy to visit. However I find today that it is too dangerous. Love coming home to Canada I always makes me want to kiss the ground \n There is just a different level of decency there.\nThe quality of education is so much higher for your children. \nI have many friends who've moved to the states, and at this point they're looking forward to coming back to Canada.

Take YOUR country back…???\nMt people…indigenous native Americans were here first.\nI like her nerve.

It’s off to me that when things get bad in a country there is always a certain percentage of people that are just ready to give up and leave. Why would you not stay and fight for what you call your home? Lady you don’t love Canada you just loved the opportunities it provided for you. \n\nI’m American and I could never just leave and immigrate to another country. I honestly have no interest in being apart of another country’s story

Don’t they understand that being in the USA illegally could land them in Guantánamo Bay Cuba for cruel and unusual torture by the USA? Why on earth would they want to come into a country like the USA which is declining? There is no freedom or liberty here. The USA is still a master and slave economy just in different ways with white supremacist British Americans leading the master and slave relationships.\n\nThey should really stay in their countries and force renewal of those countries \n\nBut the US is dying, and the end of the USA is approaching. Clearly the British Americans, who are in charge see this and will either commit suicide of the country or commit mass genocide of the Americans while the British Americans escape. \n\nThe USA is no great place to be \n\nThe conversation in the USA is strictly between the white masters excuse me, the British ethnic white masters and their black slaves, who are basically wage slaves. \n\nThree chairs to the Mexican border patrol, and Mexican police trying to contain this massive crowd. \n\nI strongly suggest that businessman who are Mexican citizens who can manage soccer stadiums filled with these illegal immigrants help to contain this population of liberation seekers, and two persuade them into becoming citizens of central or South American countries or of other countries, such as Eurasia, Africa, Australia, and such where they probably would have a better Sense of stability, especially in mainland, Europe, but not the United Kingdom, which is the troublemaker behind each of their countries problems

Dear Indian people. I m a legal white immigrant myself and don’t fool yourselves, Americans don’t like you.\nNot my words but i have worked with them for 35 years.\nI hear it daily, legal or not, they don’t like you.

This warning must be taken very seriously by ALL Americans of different races. \nBe very careful of my Globalist Privileged Upper and middle class. \nOrwell was born into this class of people, what he saw and heard growing up, made him come and live with us working-class English. \nBelieve me, Files will go missing, Planes, massive ship tankers, and more. \nUnless you throw them out of your country you are toast. \nI can go on and on, but I think I have made my point. \nNo human being deserves respect or a place the table of life when they believe in race replacing their very own. This is where you Yanks need to draw the line in the sand. \nYOU YANKS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE REALING WITH. TRUST ME. \nYou will have to shut down its media, you have no option.

Who gives ? \nGet em out \n\nI'm noticing that there are some folks doing some serious whining about the Trump administration. So I thought I'd post some thoughts. \n\n1. Accept the fact that this is the leadership that we (the majority of) working, middle class Americans wanted. We are pulling the economic weight in this country and we are tired of pulling the weight of those that do not contribute.\n\n2. If you haven't already, get a job. Every business in the country is hiring. And you get paid for the work you do. And the harder you work and the more you learn, the faster you will advance, and the more you will earn. It's an amazing concept.\n\n3. Understand that if you are a U.S. Citizen, or have already started the legal process to become a U.S. Citizen that you are not going to get deported! I don't care what your favorite liberal media channel says.\n\n4. Tariffs are a bargaining chip. When you are in business you make deals, and sometimes you have to play hardball. That's how you get the deals you desire.\n\n5. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects you from discrimination by age, sex, race, etc. DEI openly violates this. Democrats want you to believe the opposite is true because they value your vote more than your quality of life.\n\n6. It's not the government's money, it's your money. You absolutely should give a damn about how it is spent.\n\n7. We are not the World Bank. If other countries need help they should raise their own finances. I don't recall receiving any hurricane relief money from India or China.\n\n8. Drill baby, drill. Want to know why? Because we have it. Are electric cars the future? Not in their current form. There is way more oil in the ground than lithium, and guess where most of that is? China. Want food prices to come down? Then energy costs have to come down. And that means oil, gas, coal, and nuclear. Unicorn farts and liberal tears won't power your car!\n\n9. The economy and the security of the country are far more important than your feelings, get over it.\n\n10. There are men and there are women. Simple as that.\n\n11. Education is to establish a learning core that prepares a child for the real, working world. Anything else is wrong.\n\n12. Donald J. Trump is the President of the United States and he won by a landslide — both the popular vote and the electorial vote. Get over it.

I don’t like Bullies and trump is a bully\n\nSo for me, I’m putting Made in America products LAST. If there are alternatives to American products then I buy alternatives . \n\nSomethings are unavoidable- like apple products but I buy 1 new iPhone every 4 to 5 years. \n\nHouseholds don’t have to buy many high tech American products. We don’t have to buy American cars or refrigerators or ovens. \n\nI don’t drink Starbucks or eat macdonalds. I prefer smaller local cafes and support local businesses. \n\nIt’s impossible to be pure. But just because it isn’t doesn’t mean that American companies won’t feel the pain\n\nI won’t holiday in the USA either.

I agree America wants to deport illegal migrants. And I respect they their of emotions to their shitty nation. \n\nBut handcuffing people like slaves or in some concentration camps is soo wrong. Americans have to understand that their country is not just built by Americans. \n\nI can say by 100% certainty that Americans is what it is today is only because of millions of people around the global. \n\nBut it's not surprise. America being america. Rude, compalent, shitty ethics of their country reflects all these.

ANY ONE WHO SAYS THEY ARE AFRICAN AMERICANS \nSHE HOW CRAPPY THE AFRICAN COUNTRIES ARE\nI OWN PROPERTY IN ZIMBABWE \nSOMALIANS ALL NEE TO BE REMOVED FROM AMERICA

Biggest loser from this trade war is Microsoft's video gaming division.\n\nWhile the Playstation 5 and Nintendo Switch are made in China and Japan, the Microsoft X-Box Series S/X are American made.\n\nAs a result, the PS5 and Nintendo Switch will not face a 25% tariff from the Canadian Government, but the X-Box Series S/X will.\n\nI'm surprised that Bill Gates and Microsoft are not fighting for Canada and Mexico even though they have everything to lose.

United States doesn’t have allies, they force countries to be their allies. ?‍??‍??‍??\n\nIn other words, they don’t have really any allies. It’s an illusion they’ve created themself. They barely have unity in their own country. Why would we expect them to have outsider friends?\n\nThe US is losing respect from many of them right now. isolate yourself! ? \n\nIs your President always golf 18 like another great isolationist leader? \n\nI think most of American would believe it if he would say so. ??

I don't think the average viewer knows why the US is doing this. They're trying to combat illegal immigration and fentanyl as well as Mexican compliance with the drug cartels.\n\nThe reason tariffs are being used is because America is in a very powerful position when it comes to trade. The american economy doesn't rely on trade like Canada (67%), Mexico (73%) and China (37%). American trade accounts for only 24% of its massive GDP. if you removed all trade from america, it would still have larger economical output than china, mexico and canada COMBINED. yes. Combined. \n\nFurthermore, Canadian trade with america account for almost 80% of all trade in canada. A 25% increase would be absolutely devastating to canada. In america its about 13% so a 25% increase would cost more but it wont have any significant impact.\n\nNo doubt this tarrif war will cause far more problems for canada mexico and china than america. By a LOT. \n\nI dont think america is being selfish either. China does nothing to protect america from sending precursor chemicals to america to manufacture fentanyl. Canada facilitates illegal immigration and fentanyl into america with no accountability. And mexico is illegal immigrants by the MILLIONS and is literally working with the drug cartels. If they sort out those issues the trade war ends. \n\nI think america has every right to go to war to protect its sovereignty and its people.

Only US thing i consume are digital services. American cars are junk, no better than chinese brands like jac or MG, american food is just processed junk, so i rarely ate it, but no more. \n\nCancelled Netflix, HBO and amazon primer for different reasons each (and most of them is because they don't work in UAe and expect me tonpay twice ????).\n\n I'm thinking about shifting to linux, but i would still be usinh google apps like YT and my phone. \n\nI have been doing my part since a while ago as american goods and services are overpriced for low quality

A lot of us Americans remember learning about the tariff wars in history class that ended up in deciding fair trade was the better route. I fear we’re about to learn the same lesson again…\n\nAs far as the drug trade goes apparently the GOV doesn’t spend enough time on the internet because the cartels are no longer just in Mexico they’re in the USA and in Canada. They have learned the Canadian border is a lot easier to cross and they can get into BC pretty easily due to relaxed immigration policies In Canada.. they probably don’t actually know where the drugs are coming from or where they’re being manufactured entirely. The cartels are probably a step ahead of them at the moment. \n\nI can’t believe the auto industry lobbyists were not instructed to go full send on the detriment of the opposite position taken from the NAFTA. The only thing I can see is auto sales are slumping and maybe they can blame this on the tariff policy for massive restructuring. \n\nI kind of understand wanting to negotiate with Mexico because they probably buy less American goods than Americans buy Mexican goods (drugs excluding) but I’m guessing Canada is a better customer of American goods than Americans are of Canadian goods. Why would you want to upset a good partner, customer, and ally!? It’s Beyond my comprehension…. If Trump was really smart he’d convince some factories to actually invest in Mexico with cooperation from the Mexican government investing in efficient transportation from the manufacturing sectors to the American border and the coasts for distribution. This would likely really help their economy and change the whole dynamic of all the things Trump has issues with. Fix it at the source not try to treat the symptoms.

Since Trump got elected I bought a German motorbike a Japanese made tractor and a Korean EV \nI could have bought American brands but I didn't

American from NYC here.\nI really support this ❤

I blame all this on the Biden administration who PURPOSELY allowed masses of people from ALL OVER THE WORLD to enter this country illegally in the thousands per day with NO PLAN causing more economic hardship on already economically struggling Americans who many were forced to become homeless, loose their vehicles, loose their job, unable to pay rent or get assistance, and much more and when Americans discovered that people illegally entering the country were being given a \nSpecial debit card in the thousands $$$\nWere being given 2 yrs free rent\nWere being put ahead of those that were legally trying to get a green card after already waiting yrs to get in\nWere being given food stamps and other forms of help $$$$\nWere being given a FREE VEHICLE\nwere placed in jobs along with the federal monies \nWas something painfully and became wrongfully able for suffering Americans and Veterans to accept and voted for TRUMP!\nWhy? Democrats who were placing non Americans before AMERICANS and it became unacceptable!\nI’d like to see another country do what the Biden administration so illegally done!\nSorry ???\nCharity begins at home! We are voting you heartless Democrats out!

I’m a black American born here mom, grandmother, great grandmother and great great grandmother born in the US. Been here since the 1800’s \n\nI’m excited those people feel more entitled than Americans. Zero respect for white or black Americans. Yassssssss trump. I have only voted 3 times in my life all FOR TRUMP!!!\n\nByeeeee ✌️ ? ?

My dude you just said that health care is never discussed in american politics. \n\nAlso, all these people saying that health care in Canada takes years and years for things that take weeks in the US are typically full of it. Yeah. Some provinces that shall remain nameless like to break contracts with health care professionals, resulting in shortages of certain types of workers. \n\nI live in remote northish parts of my province (not NWT, Yukon, or Nunavut), and 6 years ago I was diagnosed w/ lymphoma. They had me set up to do chemotherapy treatment within 2 weeks. They wanted me to start that weekend, but I needed the time to put my work in order for me to be gone for an extended period, get applications set up for EI/Healthcare claims, and figure out who in my family I wanted to share the information with. \n\nIn Canada you end up waiting for elective surgeries and treatments, because they aren't critical by virtue of being elective. That's about it. If you need an elective and have 10K in your pocket not doing anything, go ahead and go to the states.

This should tell you right\nOff, they are out to take\nSteal , spit, hurt, no matter\nWhat to force to what they\nDemand. No respect, \nPluse all the free stuff\nThey were giving them\nUsing our tax money. Screw\nThe Americans, just\nThe Biden government \nIs there savor. They are\nHooked, some will never\nGive those free things up. \nI pray for them to wake\nUp. It's now over, \nThere's a new President \nIn America.. go home....\nAnd make there country\nGreat now..

Imagine someone telling you to just let them in your home. \n\nI pray more people understand that it is not that Americans don’t want to help, it’s just we need to help ourselves and our families first. We have huge issues within and we can not be flooded with more problems.

I used to think it was all a bit exaggerated \nI’m not American and don’t overly care\n\nBut it does seem like Donald Trump is losing his mind and it would appear he’s dismantling the north American empire \n\nand as someone who’s never liked America’s supremacy, it should please me\nDunno why, but it doesn’t. It’s not because people got wise and evolved.\nIt’s like they’re devolving. Idk what’s going on.

About time cut the crap work. Americans need to get on same page you want more great create more value you don't create for others to make lives better than no pay \n\nWe are community. Hard times shoot we have all been there thinking someone thinking besides yourself is responsible is a lie. You enter this earth with curses or bless from your parents and generations so what you going to do sin more and curse your family more or not pass the buck and obey Jesus..\n\n\nJesus said to serve and sluggers aka people who don't serve others don't deserve to eat. What he's trying to tell when he's saying work to serve others like you do him is people have all you ever wanted so learn how to be of value and service. America you can do so will it be easy no but we need to stop corruptness.\n\nI paid for my familys curses so my children don't have and what does the wicked tell me it's not fair when you work three jobs to come up and constant study of improvement of personal value I'm so so so sick of liars trying to to blame people of there conditions instead of turning to the king who will work all for good stop having faith in the wicked man god sent the sinless to lead you to right truthful stop believing convient lies from atheist.\n\nHeck even Rome couldn't stop Jesus words so instead try to control it with claiming there Christian don't make there sol victorious worship and Mary worship or sun/moon worship Rome was made from as truth. Please get the Bible and check for yourself study both sides prove Jesus isn't real.\n\nOnce you learn Jesus is here to lead u out of your self-destructiveness and knowing your sin curses your children this stuff will stop. \n\nYou can claim whatever but I can't disagree if Jesus didn't come our life would be 100x worse everywhere as America was built strongly after his words \n.

Colombia's President said >>>> Trump, I don't really like travelling to the US, it's a bit boring, but I confess that there are some commendable things. I like going to the black neighbourhoods of Washington, where I saw an entire fight in the US capital between blacks and Latinos with barricades, which seemed like nonsense to me, because they should join together. \n \nI confess that I like Walt Whitman and Paul Simon and Noam Chomsky and Miller \n \nI confess that Sacco and Vanzetti, who have my blood, are memorable in the history of the USA and I follow them. They were murdered by labor leaders with the electric chair, the fascists who are within the USA as well as within my country \n \nI don't like your oil, Trump, you're going to wipe out the human species because of greed. Maybe one day, over a glass of whiskey, which I accept, despite my gastritis, we can talk frankly about this, but it's difficult because you consider me an inferior race and I'm not, nor is any Colombian. \n \nSo if you know someone who is stubborn, that's me, period. You can try to carry out a coup with your economic strength and your arrogance, like they did with Allende. But I will die in my law, I resisted torture and I resist you. I don't want slavers next to Colombia, we already had many and we freed ourselves. What I want next to Colombia are lovers of freedom. If you can't accompany me, I'll go elsewhere. Colombia is the heart of the world and you didn't understand that, this is the land of the yellow butterflies, of the beauty of Remedios, but also of the colonels Aureliano Buendía, of which I am one, perhaps the last. \n \nYou will kill me, but I will survive in my people, which is before yours, in the Americas. We are peoples of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea and of freedom. \n \nYou don't like our freedom, okay. I don't shake hands with white slavers. I shake hands with the white libertarian heirs of Lincoln and the black and white farm boys of the USA, at whose graves I cried and prayed on a battlefield, which I reached after walking the mountains of Italian Tuscany and after being saved from Covid. \n \nThey are the United States and before them I kneel, before no one else. \n \nOverthrow me, President, and the Americas and humanity will respond. \n \nColombia now stops looking north, looks at the world, our blood comes from the blood of the Caliphate of Cordoba, the civilization of that time, of the Roman Latins of the Mediterranean, the civilization of that time, who founded the republic, democracy in Athens; our blood has the black resistance fighters turned into slaves by you. In Colombia is the first free territory of America, before Washington, of all America, there I take refuge in its African songs. \n \nMy land is made up of goldsmiths who worked in the time of the Egyptian pharaohs and of the first artists in the world in Chiribiquete. \n \nYou will never rule us. The warrior who rode our lands, shouting freedom, who is called Bolívar, opposes us. \n \nOur people are somewhat fearful, somewhat timid, they are naive and kind, loving, but they will know how to win the Panama Canal, which you took from us with violence. Two hundred heroes from all of Latin America lie in Bocas del Toro, today's Panama, formerly Colombia, which you murdered. \n \nI raise a flag and as Gaitán said, even if it remains alone, it will continue to be raised with the Latin American dignity that is the dignity of America, which your great-grandfather did not know, and mine did, Mr. President, an immigrant in the USA, \n \nYour blockade does not scare me, because Colombia, besides being the country of beauty, is the heart of the world. I know that you love beauty as I do, do not disrespect it and you will give it your sweetness. \n \nFROM TODAY ON, COLOMBIA IS OPEN TO THE ENTIRE WORLD, WITH OPEN ARMS, WE ARE BUILDERS OF FREEDOM, LIFE AND HUMANITY. \n \nI am informed that you impose a 50% tariff on the fruits of our human labor to enter the United States, and I do the same. \n \nLet our people plant corn that was discovered in Colombia and feed the world \n \n1:15 PM · Jan 26, 2025 ·11.1M Views

I tell you now.... \nHes already making the American people suffer \n\nColombia probably end up with brics\n\nStupid...\n\nI swear ... Trump \nIs Nero all over again \nHe's gonna burn down his own kingdom

Maybe apply LEGALLY and enter like OUR LAWS dictate!\nI as an American can't just enter Mexico , or ANY country \nand not be arrested or deported.

WE HAVE WAY TOO MANY ILL AMERICANS COMING TO CANADA FROM THE USA, \nTO GET HEALTH CARE FOR CHEAP OR NOTHING, \nPUTTING A STRAIN ON THE CANADIAN HEALTH SYSTEMS, \nI KNOW THIS FOR A FACT, \nAS THIS IS MY JOB.

I lived in Austria n Germany for long, but I never felt or heard foreigner! They treated me equal to themselves. Mind you I had dark hair n eyes, n olive skin color. They didn't find cultural differences in my behavior or food. Actually, I was respected n valied even more than average. They didn't know where I was from, unless they asked. But my look made them guess I was Spanish, South American, or Iranian which they liked. But they were really judgemental towards Turks, Yugoslavs, n others.\nI'm talking abt 1970s to 1990s. How is it now, I don't know.

Even with the guns like. We have guns here. We just don’t think it’s better to have barely any regulation control or laws about attaining them owning them and what is appropriate use of them versus not. To watch Americans defend their right to bear arms as a reason to entirely ignore the amount of gun violence , combined with insane laws that literally enable or encourage said violence , from people who are not in anyway necessarily trained to asses or handle as safely as possible , urgent situations. To have any children or schools shot up not immediately cause a national need to solve the problem but jsut have it ongoing and not much change to address the issues of innexsssary gun violence to not just Canadians but a lot of the world , looks entirely insane and white honestly idiotic lol I’m just being real. \n\nTo spend the amount yall do on military to feel safe , but have such unsafe conditions in the general public is crazy to a lot of us. Outside America. Yall are a danger to yourselves and okay with that? Lol same thing with food and nutirion and fda things that are acceptable and legal but banned everywhere else ?like. You guys do realize ur safety is not only about who owns the most guns you will be less safe if ur health is poor, bec of insane things being legal to be sold and eaten , healthcare is not easily accessible , and the gun violence of ur own is always a possibility like. How does that feel safe ? \n\nI have a friend who went to school on scholarship and now works married and lives there and she hates it and feels terrified all the time. Her own husband is American and owns a gun but she hates it hates guns now. And is exhausted and has anxiety issues as a result of a lot of the culturally and legally normal gun ownership and attitudes there. A lot of Canadians would feel the exact same way. And to WANT your country to be run and managed that way screaming it at the top of ur lungs is. Bonkers bat shit crazy to many of the rest of us. Ur not the only country where it’s legal to own guns and have them, but yet we’re not hearing about school\nShootings as a problem that just never gets solved and everyone who lives there sort of shrugs about ? lol it’s. Odd. To. Us.

Idk i think you need to realize that we also have our bias in addition to you having yours. Meaning, to most of us , excepting the most left leaning socially progressive pockets and contexts , which even then wouldn’t be viewed that way to us just acceptable lol ?\n\nOur baseline/political middle in Canada is A LOT more left leaning than the baseline normal/political middle in the states. So while people tend to equate your democrats to our liberals or our NDP , and equate your republicans to our conservatives. It’s just not accurate. If you throw our span of parties and American span of parties on the SAME spectrum /polarity line. You might be surprised to realize how shifted left our systems range politically is from the American one. \n\nThis hugely impacts the average normal expectation , what we clutch our pearls at hearing coming out of the mouths of the general public , and our range of what we expect to not hear or see ranted about unless they’re to our view , extremely right leaning politically /social values. \n\nFor us this means that actually genuinely , a lot of America does get experiences by us as bat shit crazy racist homophobic immigrant intolerant culturally and religiously ignorant , and somewhat backwards in larger or smaller amounts ? I know that’s not fun to hear but. Being the most diverse country based so much on immigration means. What is normal and known /familiar and normal so we aren’t ignorant to , is completely different. \n\nFor us we have our pockets usually in more rural less populated areas further away from larger cities where there is more diversity but that’s the same often in many countries that you will find some of the louder racist homophobic intolerant voices typically in places that truly are unfamiliar and ignorant to the experience of growing up with and around much of any diversity of varying kinds. So it’s not to say we don’t have racism and intolerance of course like anywhere we do. It’s just contained and the range and frequency and intensity is MUCH different. We distinguish nuances of diff cultures and religions more easily and in larger numbers we’re more familiar with diff ways of life , language , food, dress , holidays , values and used to a much less segregated way of existing even when we are differnt from each other as the NORM. My parents were both born in the states and my older brother was born there but they moved up here when he was a baby. So nearly all my extended family lives down there and I’m a duelly. And my experiences discussing things with my cousins or visiting absolutely could be described as culture shock at times. The insane things that came out of my own cousins mouths when they hear our friends or partners of various cultures , our not understanding how big a deal and incredibly insulting apparently it is to have assumed someone American was lgbt lol the list goes on. Like I don’t think our most intolerant Pockets can hold a flame to even ur closet to middle a bit intolerant places and contexts in America. Quite honestly. \n\nI think the absolute undying favourable passionate upholding and support of nationalistic, capitalist, hyper individualistic mentality about society as a whole (from my Canadian born and bred perspective lol) makes the differences even more glaring blaring and hard to swallow for us lol. I think more Canadians would feel exactly how that comment stated , that you felt was not fair for us to experience America as. I think the truth is a lot of Canadians are being too polite to let you know that’s exactly how a lot of America comes off to a lot of Canada ?

Thank you for summarizing these key changes! Many problems are actually the Canadian immigration system not learning from the mistakes of the US system and now it’s suffering the same consequences. If Canada cuts down on those selected immigrations but still takes in refugees, it’s only going to make anti-immigrant sentiment worse. Selected immigrants are allowed into Canada to help alleviate Canadian issues…or at least people who come through Express Entry are less likely to become a burden. On the other hand, refugees, given their unfortunate circumstances, really need to rely on a lot of social services and resources to help them resettle. The US has eliminated pretty much all non-humanitarian immigration that’s why immigrants are so demonized there. Americans only feel the drags of refugees and asylum seekers (even though ethically we need to protect them) and there is no selected immigration to balance that out. Yet this round of Canadian policy change is heading exactly that direction.\n\nIt used to be international students in Canada are not paying a lot more tuition than Canadian students. But Canadian universities saw how much money universities in the US are making so they asked the federal government to change the policy to enable them to charge international students several times the regular tuition (whereas in countries like France, international students actually pay less than citizens). So now Canadian universities rely too much on international students to operate and it becomes an exploitative relationship even before students step foot on the campus. The new PGWP eligibility is awful because students can make contributions in every field. It might (and that's a big if) address the pressing problems, but it won't help Canada grow.\n\nI thought the new language requirement was interesting. Some Canadians who immigrated decades ago when the bar was really low still speak English poorly and now they are saying people can’t come to Canada because their language skills are not sufficient. Another point about language is if you apply through Express Entry now, even if you scored the highest language score, given how competitive the pool is, you still won’t get selected. So it’s a given that you need to be fluent in one of the languages at least to get an invitation. Express Entry also selects only the top people, I saw the head of The Institute for Canadian Citizenship in interviews talking about those top-tier people only expect the best treatment/lifestyle when they come to Canada. That's why many of them leave after seeing these Canadian problems play out. But I believe a good Canadian life is not about living in a high rise in Vancouver and Toronto, driving an expensive car, or buying luxury items...it's about the communities, nature and middle-class comfort. So the system is giving PRs to the wrong kind of people (just like mismatched people when hiring that don't align with company values).\n\nThis brings me to the last frustrating issue. There were so many people who attended “fake” universities and bought “fake” jobs to earn points to get an Express Entry invitation. And it's clear that the government wasn't proactively catching these abuses. They are taking up spots from those who try to earn the points fair and square. If I understand correctly, Canada doesn’t send these people away if they are found out (since some of them were scammed). So they still take up immigration quotas.\n\nI have wanted to move to Canada for a long time. I have visited Canada many times, hiking trails through the coastline and fjords, climbing mountains and glaciers. I lived in Montreal for two months to improve my French and I was told by my homestay family that I was the first student they had who didn’t complain about the cold (I wish the winter never ends so I can skate or xc ski in the parks year-round). I have probably seen more Canada than many Canadians and I love every bit of it. But the opportunity for me to even get a shot to move there is pretty much nonexistent now. If only there was a way for the system to allow people who really care about Canada to get a shot at being part of this beautiful country.\n\nThank you for making these videos.

So if Mexico and Canada somehow stop the flow of fentanyl into the United States \nis Trump in return going to bring in adequate gun control laws so that the flow of smuggled American guns into Mexico and Canada is stopped?\nMexico and Canada should demand that in return.\nSmuggled American guns are responsible for a huge proportion of the shootings and murders in Mexico and in Canada.\n\nAnd I doubt very much that there is significantly more fentanlyl entering the United States from Canada than is entering Canada from the United States.\n\nAnd completely stopping the flow of fentanlyl sounds like magic.\nIt's impossible.\n\nAnd the whole reason for the movement of fentanlyl is the demand in the United States \nso even if Mexico and Canada could completely stop the flow of fentanlyl \nthere will still be fentanlyl in the United States - either imported or produced in the United States.\n\nI don't believe that Trump doesn't really cares about fentanlyl addicts.\nHe just wants an excuse to be a bully and to express his xenophobia.\nWho believes Trump really cares about fentanlyl addicts? Nobody.

Trump fails to understand how many cheap good the United States imports across the Mexican border on a daily basis\nI know of two companies in my area that have manufacturing plants in Mexico because of the cheap labor\nIs Trump going to carve out an exception for American companies making cheap goods in Mexico? China? Etc?

@davidyoung8875 \n0 seconds ago \nI don't think people realize that Canada has the MOST FRESH WATER ON THE PLANET. GOOD LUCK WORLD!!! \n \n \n \nReply \n \n \n@davidyoung8875 \n5 minutes ago (edited) \nheres an idea lets charge americans 3x the amount for fresh water. or better yet let's just cut the U.S. off of fresh water.

It feels so foolish to keep trying bandaid solutions that harm the US labor pool. There's a couple of things I keep thinking about in regards to this. \n\n1. Most developed countries on earth are in the midst of or are preparing to deal with population crisis and depopulation. Strong immigration to the US stems this issue and is actually a huge advantage to the power and continuing visibility of the USA.\n\n2. Deportation and border control strike at the effect of immigration and leave the cause unharmed. People come to the USA because there's opportunities here, so why not make opportunities abroad?\n\nIf the USA were to remove benefits of dealing with china while offering massive incentives for moving manufacturing away from china directly to Latin America, not only would we be countering our Chinese dependency but we would also provide jobs at home and stem immigration. Not only that, but the businesses would be American and be controlled by Americans - a huge incentive to stay friendly to the USA.\n\nI don't know, just seems like our current policy and especially what Trump is suggesting are counter productive and stuck in a bygone way of thinking.

To all those supporting the cracking down on these ‘illegals’ there’s something I need to know. Tell me, if they folks had an option to immigrate legally, would they? Do you think it’s some kind of malicious effort to come here against the law, or are they coming here out of desperation? Many of these people come from places like Haiti, Colombia, or Guatemala. Places that the CIA and American tax dollars destroyed. Illegal immigration wouldn’t be a problem if we didn’t make the situations of many of our southern neighbors unlivable.\n\nI’m a Floridian white dude who was comparatively born with the silver spoon in my mouth, I understand America is at a point economically where the last thing we need is to be spending money on non citizens, sending billions in foreign aid abroad or on undocumented immigrants. But I also think we need to take some level of accountability for why this is even an issue. I speak Spanish as a second language, and ever since I got to communicate with many of these ‘illegals’ and got to hear from an older Guatemalan gentlemen of his time living through the American backed “Silent Holocaust” my opinion has change completely.

I feel for you guys. Most Western nations are experiencing this. The politicians are letting in people as if people are going to be sold out and no longer be available. You must vote for politicians that will take this situation seriously. \n\nI am an American and the only reason the USA is handling its legal and illegal immigration is because of how large we are. We can absorb it better than any other country. The USA also severely limits legal immigration and now with Trump, hopefully illegal immigration numbers go down too.

THIS ARE NOT IMMIGRANTS, THIS ARE FREE LOADERS.\n\nREAL ILEGAL IMMIGRANTS COME THROUGH DESERTS, AND RIVERS.\n\nTHEY COME QUIETLY; TRYING TO BE INVISIBLE.\n\nWHEN THEY ARRIVE, THEY SLEEP IN A PARK OR UNDER A BRIDGE, NEXT MORNING THEY LOOK FOR WORK TO BE ABLE TO EAT.\n\nTHEY DON'T ASK FOR ANYTHING, THEY ARE AFRAID TO BE CUT AND DEPORTED.\n\nTHIS CARAVANS, ARE COMING TO GET EVERYTHING FOR FREE, THEY DON'T WANT TO WORK, THEY DEMAND GOOD FOOD, AND A LUXURY PLACE TO STAY.\n\nWHILE AMERICANS, VETERANS, AND POOR PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY STRUGGLES TO KEEP A ROOF OVER THEIR HEADS, AND FOOD ON THEIR TABLE.\n\nI HAVE EMPATHY, BUT NOT FOR PEOPLE THAT DON'T WANT TO WORK !

Trump is a big fat bag of flatulence. \nHe's an expert at talking out his ass, and his supporters are dumb enough to believe him. \nBut we're here with a clown representing America because people didn't vote. \nIn 2020, Trump got 74,223,975 votes.\nBiden got 81,283,501.\n7+ million more than Trump. \nIn 2024, Trump got 73,494,503 votes, 729,472 less than he got 4 years ago.\nIn 2024, Harris got 69,174,894 votes, 4,289,607 less than Trump, and 12,108,605 less than Biden got 4 years ago. \nAmerican voters are why we're stuck with a narcissistic sociopathic liar and sex offender for president. \n12 million Americans, to be specific, who chose not to vote.\nTrump is a scam artist. \nHow many billions will Trump, and his family of grifters, steal from America? \nHow many asinine statements will Trump make? \nAnd how many rounds of golf is the flatulence king play on our dime? \nLast time it cost Americans $145 million. \nDo you think fatty ? can break his record? \nI bet he'll try.

There is nothing illegal about a precious 5 year old child brought to and raised in this beautiful country. Deporting kids who’ve grown up here, who know nothing but America, just because their parents didn’t file the right paperwork? Really? \nI bet over 80% of Americans are descendent of ancestors who didn’t have to file any paperwork to get to these shores. \nAmericans confusing the absolutely legitimate fight against crime, cartels, and violence with an absolutely unnecessary fight against immigration is just painful to watch.

You CNN liberals can't do shit, \nThe republicans has won the presidency, popular vote,senate, house, supreme court the power is too much for them that anything they want to do will go easily for them including mass immigration, the economy amd inflation it will shock the Americans people of what trumps first year will look like and the entertainment is gonna be real\nI can't wait to grab my popcorn for trump to lecture cnn reporters and this time his gonna take no shit
