Discourse Analysis

If they work, file their taxes, don't siphon the system and talk to me in English then I do not care what they do in their own time. On the contrary, I wish them the best. Those who do not contribute to society and merely leech off of it are the true dregs. That applies the same to a white man with needles harassing people under a bridge and a black man in a hoodie and mask robbing a convenience store (non-Indian stereotypes) as it does to any immigrant who hops the border and expects this country to fund their way. That said, there have been far too many immigrants in the last decade, regardless of origin. I've lived in my small town in BC for 37 years and somehow I cannot get a family doctor (I visit all of the local clinics annually and am on the provincial waiting list) while a lot of newer residents seem to have a doctor within months of moving here. I am glad I bought my house when I did, I would not be able to afford one today. I am not against legal immigration, just slow it down so the infrastructure can support it and properly vet those who apply. The system for deportment currently employed in the US is far too hastened and imperfect for my liking but the lack-of-a-system (or heck, acknowledgement) that this is even an issue by the current and previous Canadian governments is equally as concerning (arguably more, other folks can debate the politics of it).

If we actually want solutions, we should be talking about things like real-time tracking for overstays, linking federal/provincial systems, funding enforcement properly, and setting penalties that are predictable and enforced. Bring in experts not random paper pushers for “gotcha” moments. Sessions like this aren’t about fixing the system, they’re about stoking outrage. And more often than not, it ends up targeting vulnerable groups instead of creating policy that actually works.

Canada, and it’s government, are a bunch of woke idiots. It’s like issues such as this they don’t give a shit

So the liberals one touch immigration system doesn’t work? No kidding.

If I hear the two words, “Canada’s Generosity” one more time, I will puke. This is really about “Canada’s Stupidity”, if you ask any tax payer, or anyone else with a brain. Giving benefits to fraudsters, and cheats, that tax paying Canadians don’t even receive or cannot afford is pure criminal behaviour.

smh the most embarrassing pres in my lifetime

Our liberal government has turned Canada into a train wreck laughing stock.

Bottom line, is that if you are a fake student, you should be removed from the country and barred from return for life.

There is literally zero transparency ever with anything period.

Call the phentanyl argument bullshit, which is what it is.

I have literally heard these same words for all of my life and nothing ever changes why would anyone think it will now doesn’t make sense to keep jabbering bout the same shit you ain’t even fixing?

Good Luck with that! I mean, what's new? You've had a tariff on the US forever now. Next time Trudeau, you need to grow a set of balls and speak with the president. Don't address the US. Address the president of the United States in person, or at the very least the phone call. Congrats, you just screwed over the Canadian people. So again what's new?

The US did not slap tariffs on Canada, the boss of the US did it-against the American people’s best interest. Out of spite & a revengeful rotten soul.

There’s nothing tough about this joker, so any speech he gives can’t be “blistering.” Furthermore, with his track record of wrecking his own economy he lacks any credibility to lecture the USA about our economy or decisions to bargain for trade deals that benefit said economy. Trudeau is nothing more than a woke, leftist hack.

Maybe you should pay more attention to your own country instead of investing in Ukraine and telling America how to run their business

America's economy was a juggernaut the day before Trump and his greedy band of thieves took over, and our strength was in our alliances with Canada, Mexico, and Europe. Our moral strength was in our unwavering support of Ukraine and opposition to Russia. In barely a month Trump has undermined and destroyed all the trust previous administrations (aside from his own) had built. By trying to rob our allies blind and turn the US into a kleptocracy, Trump is destroying the economy and our standing in the world at record pace. Maybe irreversibly.

Florida here. Trump clearly doesn't care about actual Americans. He only cares about himself. (And Russia)

I absolutely loathe Justin Trudeau and the immeasurable damage that he has done to my country over the past ten years. That said, he's 100% correct here.

the minister is disgusting, her reference to tabouleh is a way to imply that Rempel Garner is somehow a racist without engaging her question. It's like when AOC went off about black and indigenous cowboys at Munich to avoid engaging with any of the content of Rubio's speech. The left does this all the time, rather than offer any defense they just shout "racism" or "islamophobia" or "transphobia"

Trump has damaged relationships between our countries that will take a long time to repair. I did not vote for Trump and I wholeheartedly accept that Canada has to respond strongly to his harmful, stupid tariff policies. It’s going to hurt us all.
