Thank you Canada! We appreciate your sanity!!

Thank you Mr. Trudeau. We reasonable Americans appreciate our good neighbors in Canada. I'm willing to suffer in order to get rid of Trump.

OMG, now Trump is going to send his lapdog Mr Vance to screem “Apologise to the president, You never say thank you, you disrespect this country USA, You never appreciate what we do for Canada”.

Thank you Canada for supporting Ukraine, you have always been on our side, always. We appreciate it and understand what it is like to be betrayed by the United States of America. Ukraine stands with you, Canadians! Canada, be strong! ?????

Thank you, Mr. Trudeau, many of us Americans hate this too! I appreciate you distinguishing your relationship with the American people (those of us who are not for this), from the cruel leadership in the US who are imposing these harmful policies. I admire your leadership. You are a true, dignified, level headed leader. I wish we had that here in the US. I'm so sorry for what my government is doing to Canada?

Thank you, Canada! Even though we will all be affected, I appreciate your targeting the Red States! ??????

??Canada WILL sustain itself! With abundant resources (oil, gas, minerals, timber, water), a strong economy, global trade, skilled labor, and food self-sufficiency, we stand strong! ???\n\nTo our American friends, thank you for standing with Canada. Your support means the world to us! We appreciate you and our shared bond as neighbors. Love you all! ❤️????\n\nCanada leads with universal healthcare, lower crime, strong social programs, stricter gun laws, better work-life balance, 18-month paid maternity leave, and stunning nature! True North, strong and free! ???\n\nWith our global allies—the UK, Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany, Japan, South Korea, and the entire Commonwealth—Canada thrives in international trade, security, and diplomacy! ????\n\nTo our American neighbors, stay safe. We’re thinking of you and standing with you through all challenges. Sending love and strength! ??❤️??

First, I want to thank you for making this video. The health of a country, or the health of an individual which are clearly linked, is dependent on our ability to see ourselves and each other, and make necessary changes to improve in the areas that we lack personally, and as communities in our beautiful country of Canada and other countries as well. Well, it’s a work in progress. I appreciate how you’ve inspired us to speak about things that aren’t necessarily spoken about. At least not where I live and have lived in Canada. Thank you so much for that opportunity. It doesn’t matter about my opinion. What matters is sharing our own thoughts, feelings, and experiences because they aren’t debatable. \n\nWe are in violation of Multiple Human Rights violations against Inuit , Indigenous and Métis people by the United Nations. Most have no water to drink—not even boiled water and bottled water is available sometimes when it’s brought to reservations . Children don’t have the same access to books. So many thousands of bodies of children taken to residential schools from their parents arms and community for over 160 years yet the deep wounds aren’t given compassion by most people anymore and systemic abuse actively impacts them and therefore all of Us . We are all one whether we see people as other’ or not. We’re humans. \n They’re not seen in media unless it’s a bad story yet we’re only now teaching one mandatory class by non indigenous people. Solution: elders teach their grandchildren languages that weren’t erased by genocide and environmental /spiritual cultural practices and lifestyles before they’re gone by paying first people elders and streaming it into all Canadian classrooms so the children can see a future where they’re valued and all Canadian kids can get a full education and learn accurate history. Making canoes, baskets, sacred ceremonies, food growing (that they taught to pilgrims so they’d survive here), etc. No, I’m not indigenous. I’m an immigrant like all but the first people. They’ve an amazing culture that’s been all but lost . When we don’t see ourselves represented in any media, any careers, and start our lives in extended poverty based on our race, and all that was taken still today, it’s no wonder the teen suicide rate for indigenous youth is more than double / triple all non - indigenous youth. The numbers are growing. \nI live in Care due to my physical disabilities . An international nursing student worked for me providing personal care like showers, meal prep etc and over that year, she said she wouldn’t have moved here specifically because of a few things I’ve mentioned. She told me Canada was sold to people in her country of origin as a ‘multicultural’ safe haven without extreme racism still prevalent today and within our history. \n\nI’m ashamed of Canadian government promises for over 100 years that aren’t fulfilled. All children deserve healthy drinking Water and an education. Period. Especially, the ambassadors of this amazing land that they see as themselves without separation. That’s accurate. We will have nothing to stand upon if we don’t protect the earth. It will go on without us. \n\nI see many things in the comments I’ve seen or experienced, unfortunately. This is a beautiful country for so many reasons. It’s important that from such abundance we listen to your video, look at ourselves honestly and i feel, be the change we want to see in the world like Gandhi said.\n\nMuch love and healing from an All inclusive advocate. All life matters.

Why don't they just put a gate or fence if it's illegal? Their full of shit. But Thank you we appreciate canada taking out our trash.

I have not traveled abroad. I yearned to. But, I have got to a stage of life when I see many things we want are not what we need. I hope many of our people see this. It is not just Canada. We are eventually miserable when we move away from our Natural Habitat. We get shattered one way or the other. Afrikans should wake up and rebuild our Motherland. I appreciate you, ladies. Even at your age, you are this wise. And, sharing it with our people. Thank you.
