divides the country??? Don't think so, I'm a liberal and I still think immigration was out of control.

Trudeau and Carney: there's nothing wrong with our border security. Elbows up! Gullible Canadians: okay, and they said a hockey term, I'm going to vote for them! Rational Canadians: 🤦🏼‍♂️

It’s a problem here in Canada. They aren’t heading to the USA basically all of them stay cause it’s just easy. Nobody would have a problem if they made an effort to assimilate and some do but the ones who don’t ruin the image for the rest of them. Other obvious problem is we’ve let in too many people in in general like more people have come than living units have been built making many problems just right there and then and it’s not really the people who immigrates fault it’s the government. I know restricting imagination and making the test to get in harder so they actually have to know something about Canadas history and our culture and realistically we need to apply more pressure on the expectation that immigrants eventually assimilate.
Critiques immigration policy (too many arrivals, insufficient housing, weak assimilation requirements) while acknowledging systemic rather than individual immigrant fault.

The bike guy woweee. Does he think all of Africa is one region? There are a lot of highly intelligent people from wealthier parts of Africa who immigrate to North America.

Some immigrants pretend to be more loyal than the King, which is dangerous to the country. However, the immigrants who are honest and celebrate their culture without causing problems for the locals are better for the country. How many Westerners living in Africa integrated with local Africans even after living there for centuries? It is human mentality to practice your culture when you become a minority in another country.
Nuanced critique of immigrant integration practices, comparing to Western behavior in Africa, questioning loyalty while acknowledging legitimate cultural expression.

I cannot see any sanity, logic, or forward looking, with putting tariffs on our allies. It is hurtful to everyday Americans. Who benefits from this? The wealthy, like t-rump, and his cronies. Meanwhile the traitorious Supreme Court works on bending the law to suit t-rumps bidding. We are early in this presidency. If you think inflation was a very serious concern of t-rump or the repubies, why doesn't he fix it right now? What he is doing is causing inflation to skyrocket with no end in sight. Those of you wealthy who think t-rump is right are a leach who feeds off of taking from those who have little to nothing. If t-rump wanted to he could fix it on day one like he said. He has no idea what he is doing - laying off thousands of federal workers. He wants to bring jobs to America by becoming a traitor to our very faces with putin. you repubes are all traitors to what the Flag stands for. Those jobs won't come in the next 4 years. If there are no manufacturing plants in the U.S. we will have to build them. How long will it take to build these factories and tool them up to accept workers? None of what the repubes agenda is set about bringing jobs to America - the way I see it, we are losing jobs now. The factories won't be ready for years. You who voted for this freak - I hope you suffer the most.
Extensive critique of Trump's tariff and economic policies, arguing they harm ordinary Americans while benefiting the wealthy and contradicting campaign promises.
