While listening to Batra's Burning Questions is always informative, today's discussion elicits despair. The contrast between Jason Kenney's reign and the Liberal's current minister of immigration, Lisa Diab, could not be more stark. She is incompetent and Canada has a hopeless, no-win, unfair, expensive and potentially dangerous immigrant and refugee system. And, apparently, the country is FULL of racists. We're idiots led by sanctimonious idiots.

Idiot on the bike may be the dumbest person I’ve ever listened to.

Ontarians spent decades crying about Quebec trying to keep their culture and language alive, saying they should be forced to integrate into broader Canadian Culture. And then they decide to just become India and China. Very cool, Ontario. Glad Quebecois never listened to you self destructive idiots.

hey only the fkn stupid get laughed who listen to this bullshit - fact check what you read from these idiots 1. You can enter Canada with "One Click" and no security screening. FALSE. While the "One-Touch" digital system exists to speed up paperwork, every asylum seeker must still provide biometrics (fingerprints) and undergo a security/background check against global law enforcement databases upon arrival. 2. Denied claimants keep their health benefits. TRUE (But temporary). Benefits continue as long as the legal process is active. Because Canada allows for appeals and judicial reviews, a person whose claim is initially "denied" by the board is still considered to be "in the process" and keeps coverage until all legal appeals are exhausted. 3. There are 500,000 "lost" people due for deportation. FALSE. This number is a massive inflation. It likely refers to a total estimate of all people in Canada with expired visas (including students and workers). The number of people specifically "wanted" for deportation after a failed refugee claim is estimated to be closer to 30,000–50,000. 4. Refugees get dental and vision care that some Canadians don't. TRUE. The federal IFHP program does cover basic dental and vision for claimants because they aren't eligible for provincial health cards yet. Many Canadians only get these benefits through private insurance or specific low-income programs, though the new Canadian Dental Care Plan is currently closing that gap for seniors and children. 5. 10,000 people "vanish" from the system annually. UNVERIFIED. This was a specific estimate given by a union head during testimony. While the government tracks "abandoned claims," they don't officially classify them all as "vanished," as many are eventually located or leave the country voluntarily.

Any idiot who still thinks Donald Trump is doing a good job, then I have serious doubts about their critical thinking skills. Today I listened to Donald Trump lie and gaslight the American people, and the spineless Republicans in Congress cheered. What traitors they are to the American people.

So refreshing listening to a head of state that sounds, speaks and acts like an adult and puts the interest of his country first. Canada ?? do what you have to. The idiot is stubborn and incorrigible and his cult members are no different. The indoctrination runs deep. Maybe lost jobs, no power/fuel, hunger pains, sticker shocker and depleted 401k accounts will register. Too bad more of us did not vote for common sense.\n\nOnly an idiot starts a war with “friends” and bend over for an enemy who’s using him as a tool to only enlarge his empire and weaken America. The executive part of his brain ? is severely compromised. \n\nGod help us all.

? This idiot actually thinks Americans are going to listen to him? What a joke!\nRemember, this is the guy who froze the bank accounts of trucker, simply because they were protesting. He’s a dictator wanna-a-be (but doesn’t have the strength or manliness to pull it off).

Don't lecture us American' s on a damn thing! U are damn clown & don't speak with such an unworthy sense of self. Anyone who would listen this ignorant fool & worse take anything he says seriously are as stupid as he is. And all u buffoons spewing remedial like this idiot is even pimple on trumps ass! What a embarrassing weak coward! And watch ur damn tome boy when u speak of our president like u are somehow all sudden some tough guy or in his league! Smfh

Listen to Trudeau, this is how a nations leader speaks. Intelligible, intelligent, well spoken, concise, level headed and he came armed with the facts. Compare him to idiot Drumpf, who is unintelligble, idiotic, reactionary, emotionally unstable, speaks at a 4th grade level, who lies like he depends on it (he does), and speaks only in run-on-sentences laden with self praise and peppered with insults for his critics and those he dislikes. The man only likes people who suck up to him as sycophants do. Theres nothing to sugar coat here, Drumpf is dumb as hell, a complete asshole and 100% self interested. His supporters love him because he's just like them in character, and how they want to be in reality: rich.

If any American listening to this absolute idiot don’t get sucked in to his lies the worst prime minister in Canadian history Trudy is Canadian public enemy number one

Listen to the idiots in this comment section, supporting the worst Canadian president in history. Trump is doing what America has always done, put America first. Canada is supporting Europe in pursuing the war in Ukraine, how is that a benefit to Americans.

I pray the idiots that voted for Dumpy are listening, you will be effected ?

Trump’s advisors must be useless. Trump does not think or listen. Stock market gains wiped out since Election Day. What an idiot. Legendary idiot.

Why does this idiot keep talking over the press conference and just start yapping bullshit? I’m trying to listen to Trudeau not this nobody wannabe analyst

As a Canadian living in Alberta, this embarrassment does not speak for the majority of Canadians. Rob Ford is an idiot, and David Eby is stupid as well. Please stop listening to them

Wernt you basically fired cause your such an idiot, I wouldn’t listen to a word this guy says

You'd have to be an idiot to listen to turdo or CNN

When trump started blaming all the immigrants for the economic woes of the us like it’s 1945 I knew better than to listen to his bs. He lies and says what he needs to to act like a dictator. I didn’t vote for him. Nor will I ever be ok with him being on putins side or bragging about being friends with Kim jun un. He’s an idiot.

❤ Canada. We, the sane, non-MAGAt Americans, also do not want this, nor did we vote for this because we did NOT vote for an obviously mentally ill, functionally illiterate, elderly man with signs of dementia, whose main function besides destroying our country to enrich himself & all of his millionaire & billionaire buddies, is acting as a useful idiot pain for Putin. We, the Americans who value what our country has stood for, whose fathers & and grandfathers fought in both World Wars, who lived in the time before all of the current vaccines existed, who believe in equality, who value the immigrants--documented or undocumented, who believe our country should welcome them & make their paths to citizenship easier because we understand how our country & economy benefit from them living in this country, who understand & value the roles that the WHO, NATO, & the United Nations have played in keeping us ALL safer for many decades bc we REMEMBER or were told by our parents, what it was like b4 those things existed, who either lived thru The Great Depression or had parents & grandparents did, understand what the economic crisis that Trump & his band of greedy ahole idiots are deliberately causing. WE didn't do this. WE fought against it. We tried to explain & warn people about what is happening & what will happen, but you didn't EFFING LISTEN. WE are ANGRY. WE will NOT help any of you who caused this & this includes every MSM who is too afraid to speak truth to power. Start doing that NOW. Start with THIS: It's called The Gulf of Mexico, NOT the Gulf of America. Eff every Trump supporters & GOP politician--at EVERY level of government. Trump can TRY to hide what he's doing to the economy in his stupid reports. Do you honestly believe the average American pays attention to those? No, most are too busy worrying over how to pay their bills & all they'll see is that their situation is getting worse. They can't find a job. They can't afford gas. They can't afford groceries. You can't cover any of that up. WE stand with Canada, Ukraine, the EU, & every other ally nation. Not Russia. Putin can go straight to hell & the sooner the better.

I'm a New Yorker first and an American citizen second since That Idiot took office. Please, as an American listen to me. AUTOMATOCALLY RAISE YORK PETROLEUM PRODUCTS, OIL, GAS, ELECTRICITY BY 25%. Sell your products at a reasonable rate to the European Union and Asia.

Lol if this moron cares for Americans he would've secured his border and not let fenthanol enter US and kill thousands of Americans. He would not have put harsh tariff on American goods that hurt American companies.... use logic u idiots instead of listening to this idiot

Listen up you do not disrespect the oval office or our president. You are an idiot if you are trying to get. President Trump. Bad side. Nooooooo that’s wrong. You will pay…zzzz

Trudeau is a WEF idiot. His dictatorial crackdown during covid was second only to Australia. \nHow and why people listen to,or believe anything he says is beyond me. Canada is beautiful and the vast majority of its people are wonderful but Trudeau is... Really !

Don’t listen to this fool…Trump set tariffs so Mexico and Canada stop importing fentanyl chemicals from China. \nTrudeau is an idiot.

dont listen to this idiot. his own people dont trust or like him. yall crooks never stop lying do you.

Don't listen to the media. Trudeau is an idiot who destroyed our great country of Canada. Most Canadians are against him here. He turned our great country from a peacekeeper to an aggressor, just so the Liberals stay in power. Trump and JD Vance are correct. Zelensky has no cards to dictate the terms of agreement. He cannot just keep receiving billions of dollars from the USA with no accountability, and continue the war for years and years while he profits and stays in power. Enough is enough.

So much bullshit... I can't listen to this idiot for more than a few minutes.

This idiot already quit, no one is listening to anything Trudeau has to say. Tariffs on the Americans only costs Canadians more, tariffs on Canadians make Canadians pay more. So you see, Liberals have to go, then tariffs go away. CANADA CAN NOT SURVIVE WITHOUT AMERICAN MARKETS LET THAT SINK IN. Cancelled pipeline, not paying up in NATO, not stopping drug flow, not fair in trade to the USA 200 billion in difference, you see the Liberals are in panic mode and its all their fault starting with his word salad speechs that mean nothing.

An eloquent speaker. Tonight we get to listen to an idiot speak.

So everyone better go buy there coffee NOW!! Listen everyone if you voted for this idiot you will REGRET IT!! Trump will ruin our country like ALL HIS BUSINESSES!!

Listening to the bleeding heart idiots who are supporting the invaders. Im all for helping others but being invaded and over whelming every resource is not helping anyone. These people are starving and need housing, food and medical while the citizens are being left to fend for themselves. Americans first our poor need help and are being left behind while our funds are used on illegal invaders. This dont make sense.

Tha idiot caused the problem, so now he thinks he can solve it , really only the very uninformed would even listen to this complete inept idiot.

It looks like some idiots have to listen to his ABSOLUTELY NO HELP answer once more to understand.\nReplace her question by : “Sir, is any of 2 billions Muslim going to help to wounded Gazans by admitting them to hospitals?”

Listen Febby, this B.S. has been going on for decades now. I'm almost seventy and it existed when I was a young man. The joke was you want a job get experience, you want experience get a job. It's a catch 22 or the cat chasing his tale. Canada is a country made up of the old ruling elite and there idiot off-spring. So, the only way to keep their kids in the money since most, like American's a dumber than skunks is with this B.S. I spent 10 years working and living in China and although I don't want to go back I too, I Canadian born and breed want to get the hell out of Canada as well. I've worked and waited until I was 70 so as to get a larger pension and if I can afford it, the next time I leave Canada will be the last time and if that happens, I'LL NEVER RETURN. That should give you some idea what I think of my own country. The End. Good-Luck and Good-Bye. AD.

I lived in Toronto my whole life and there have been major ethnic groups co-operating to muffle other ethnic groups, a passive racist attempt of pushing certain minorities out. \nThen Canada's government had a bright idea and started bending down to three major powers, which heavily invested in purchase of lands (like it was a real life game of monopoly) while in rapid succession- building townhouses and duplexes (then ditching all of that and opting for condominiums as the ultimate seize all in property value).\nIt became unlivable starting around 2015 (because of a specific group of migrants that have been aggresively flooding in [I can say that because I am of that origin, but born here and aware of what THEY can do]).\nCanada started dying around 2006-2007 and her last breath was at 2010. There are too many idiots in serious, highly attentive occupations and it is a major risk for the future of Canada. Instead of hiring adults with mature minds, they hire adult bodies with child like mentality and tolerances, on top of that- a sinister identity crisis, with no logic to back it. They rather listen to individials splurt something out of their rear than an individual who has experience and the knowledge to get things done. \nThey (the individuals with current responsibilities and their predecessors) bought in the whole 'get rich quick', strategy and while they pocket their results, the country starts to ferment in her own juices of what could have been, 'true potential'. \nYou have an American state that can be passed off as it's own country, because of what the people did with what they had VERSUS Canada... Yeeouch.

at least someone is telling the truth, hope idiots in Punjab listen to them !!!!

Listen to this idiot complaining about not being allowed to be lazy at work.

This guy is an idiot. People travel! See these things for yourself and don’t listen to some dumbass who’s never left his driveway by the sound of it. I’ve worked and lived in every province in Canada and they all have their faults and benefits. Reading statics is the close minded way of ranking something like this. Experience these places you fool and come back.
