Why are international students being told they might be able to stay?!?????!? You're a scumbag Mr. Immigration lawyer! After they graduate and leave, they can apply like everyone else and get in line. Their time as a student should not count for anything. Why are we fasttracking bringing grandparents of new Canadians or PR's? They don't pay taxes and put extra burden on healthcare and CPP. PR's should not be able to bring other extended family members at all. Canada's immigration system hit the breaking point 10 years ago when that failed part-time high school drama teacher took the wrecking ball to it.
Critiques multiple immigration policies (international students, family reunification, grandparents) with concerns about healthcare/tax burden and includes partisan attack on leadership.

When is Trump going to say that he'll support Americans during the trade war he started?? No, he says he's going to bring us pain so that billionaires can get $4.5 T in tax breaks. Why MAGAs? What could possibly justify voting for that guy?
Criticizes Trump's trade war policy and tax breaks for billionaires, questioning voter support with rhetorical challenge.

I don't know why they had to remove him from the head of the party.... I will never vote conservative, they all suck up to dictator Trump.

These tariffs will pass. But the distrust that Trump has fomented will take years to overcome, long after Trump leaves office.

Why the bring people to canada, and not control them?

Doesn't matter if a person is an immigrant, what matters is the quality of immigrants Canada permits to come. I am proud most Filipinos immigrate and work and blend in with the society. We try not to be a burden to the government. True too with other nationalities that come over but unfortunately not all.
Argues for selective immigration policy based on immigrant quality and integration outcomes, with comparative reference to Filipino immigrants.

They have studied and are exploiting loopholes, and have been for years, but rest assured, the Liberal government will be putting a minor slowdown on the rampant immigration by 2027. Not even joking... I am not against immigration, I am against mass immigration. There should be no more than 10,000 entering the country every year, and not all mainly from one country. The Liberal government is lining us up for disaster under the direction of the WEF.
Critiques immigration policy and government handling, with unverified claims about WEF direction and specific numerical proposals.

Trudeau hit the bell when he mentioned:- Trump, you're a smart guy..This is a very dumb thing to do..\nA nice way to skin a cat..!\n\nTrump will remove the doubt when he makes a U-turn on the tariffs as it'll make Americans suffer...in pain(economically)...

And these immigrants (all of them) must come to Canada after a very rigorous vetting screening process, bring their own money to support themselves during their entire stay in Canada, pay out of their own pocket for their medical expenses. Nothing should be paid by the host country...NOTHING. I don't have any recollection of ever going to a restaurant or hotel/motel and the country that im visiting is covering ALL OF MY LIVING COSTS DURING MY ENTIRE STAY. SO WHY SHOULD CANADA PAY TO HAVE THESE IMMIGRANTS IN THE COUNTRY, TAKING OUR JOBS, YET WE AS TAXPAYERS PAY FOR EVERYTHING FOR THEM. UH-UH, NO WAY, THATS NOT RIGHT. THEY should not have (or require) an interpretor in court, government office, at a traffic stop or anywhere. If the roles were reversed, Canadiens going to their foreign land definitely WOULD NOT RECEIVE ALL OF THE BENEFITS THAT THEY RECEIVE FROM OUR COUNTRY CALLED CANADA. People MUST VOICE THEIR opinions about their own lives and how these immigrants are raping our country for everything it has, and yet true Canadians get to lose more and more of their precious homeland. Ive seen muslim women and their children make some makeshift porter-potty curtained up where the deficate, and urinate in a hole dug into the sand ON THE BEACH and when they're ready to leave, they bury up the hole in the (BEACH SAND) sand, remove their tent and walk off the beach leaving behind them (I guess for Canadians to enjoy their presence on our soil) their little disgusting biohazard ☣️ waste in a public place where everyone walks bear foot, and use their bare hands. Thats simply revolting. JUST IMAGINE THE NEXT DAY, THAT A CANADIAN CHILD DIGS IN THE SAND TO PLAY WITH THRIR TOY CARS ETC. WHAT DISGUSTING MESS TO FIND AT THE BEACG. WHAT SICKNESSES DO THESE MUSLIMS (OBSERVED LEAVING THAT MINI SEPTIC SYSTEM THE PREVIOUS DAY) HAVE, AND WILL GET THE TRUE CANADIANS ILL AS A RESULT OF THEM IMPOSING THEIR FILTHY CULTURE WITH THEM. Frankly, as for myself, i can very well do without their presence because they do not respect our beautiful Canada. They're violent, rape and gang rape our young girls, attack our Canadians, won't assimilate to the ways of this country, wont speak our 2 official languages, wont follow our laws, bring with them the criminal element of using guns and knives and unspeakable violence. Please government of Canada; SEND THEM IMMEDIATELY BACK TO THEIR COUNTRY NEVER TO RETURN. From Canada 🇨🇦 ❤❤❤❤i subscribed, and love your message ❤️ on your channel. From Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️❤️❤️
Critiques immigration policy regarding financial support, social services, and language accommodation; includes comparative framing and anecdotal claims about immigrant behavior.

Deport them right away. Claiming Asylum/refugee status & our government delaying deportation is just stupid. Theyre going to exploit this because of our weak liberal leaders. Weak.

As a Canadian I’m fed up seeing Turdo’s face. He ruined our country and I’m hoping my fellow citizens will not take the bait of a new face on the same old party and re-elect the Liberals. If that happens we are utterly done.
Combines personal frustration as a Canadian with criticism of Liberal government policy and an implicit call for voters to reject the party.
