Trudeau and Marc Miller, thank for them for this mess. Will Carney and the current Liberals fix this mess, absolutely not. Instead, Carney brings in Lena Diab who literally has no idea what she's doing.

This isn't about fentanyl or the borders it's about Trumps desire to make money off tariffs so he can pay for tax cuts to his billionaire ass kissers while the first lady Musk is stealing money from government offices. Trump is not a smart man. Recently he said this was a bad agreement and who the hell signed this speaking about the last trade agreement with Canada and Mexico. Well it was you Dumb Donald. Nothing more than a child bully.\n This idiot thinks Zelensky is a dictator but refuses to call Putin a dictator WTF . He says Ukraine started the war, what a retarded scumbag. Good luck the next 4 years UST, United States of Trump.
Critiques Trump's tariff policy, tax cuts, and trade decisions while making moral judgments about his character and competence.

The man talking about the damage these tariffs will caused has cause far more damage to Canadians than the tariffs ever will. Ask anyone trying to buy a house for the past few years! Or ask about the value of the Canadian dollar. These tariffs are least of the Canadian people concerns.

The massive majority of Indians I've met in Canada have been absolutely kind. I have no ill will for the people. I do have ill will for our liberal government though. There's just too many people coming in at once. In 2025 we had 415,000 new permanent residences. 2024 it was 425,000. The liberal government said they were going to lower immigration and they didn't. They gutted the international student program but they kept the influx of permanent residences coming in because they're not done buying votes.
Distinguishes between people and policy, criticizing government immigration decisions with specific numbers and allegations of vote-buying.

This immigration rule is not being enforced the way the government claims. IRCC is still handing out temporary resident visas—student visas, visitor visas, and visitor visa extensions—too easily. They’re approving 1-year visitor extensions, then another 6 months, and sometimes even another full year if someone applies again. How is that stricter than before? It’s not. The government is misleading Canadians when it says immigration rules are tightening. In reality, it’s becoming more lenient, and it’s frustrating for those of us who follow the rules, pay taxes, and contribute honestly to this country.
Detailed criticism of government immigration enforcement practices with specific claims about visa approvals presented without evidence.
