Discourse Analysis

As a citizen of the US, I am very sorry for what is happening. As someone from the west coast, know I did not want this nor did I vote for it.

I just found Migrants are getting free dental, prescriptions and bus passes, and I, a Canadian, who has worked and paid taxes 40 yrs, homeless, get none of these. I am now convinced a revolt is the only way to get respect.

I'm so embarrassed about it all...we that live here in America well I can just speak for where I am it all sucks...I'm sorry...

There's no question in my mind about refugees, I know quite a few, and too many are just milking the system. And way too many are just terrible people. Ones that come in normally are fine, by and large.

As an American, it’s so shameful to witness this take place. Canada, please know many of us vehemently oppose what has happened to our country, but our voices are being strategically stifled. It’s a scary place to be. ?

I was in the process of buying worth of almost $25,000 American Products for my newly opened up shop and I Canceled all the transactions TODAY.

Mr. Trudeau / I'm An American. I'm appalled by Trump - Didn't vote for this FOOL .... I'm Embarrassed as an American that Our Government is doing this

I'm Canadian and have never seen our society so united. Donald is picking a BS fight. I have heard from dozens of people in my life alone say they will not buy American or visit the US for the next 4 years. It will hit US business hard to lose a consumer base with the population the size of California. Not to mention I'm sure Mexicans will do the same.

As an Indian who's been in Canada for 20+ years, I don't want it to turn into India. Deportation is needed, especially illegals and criminals.

Canadian here, for the past month we've been boycotting US products. Most of our grocery stores now put Canadian flags on Canadian products, and our liquor stores have removed US imports from our shelves. Canadians have a very good memory, the damage has already been done.

My parents immigrated in the early 90s and I was born in Canada. It’s very hard to relate to the new immigrants in the last 10 years because we’re so different. The families that immigrated in the 80s and 90s had to assimilate and become “Canadian” which in hindsight was for the best. I learned about my culture and language at home, but my parents, emphasized the importance of being “Canadian first” and being a part of society and “fitting in.” This wasn’t at all a bad thing. I learned to ski, skate, make ice lollies with snow and syrup, went camping, played sports… I feel embarrassed when Indians are looked at in this light, but its true. 90% of this new wave of immigrants on “student visas,” dont intend to actually obtain any sort of an education, instead they use it as a pathway for permanent residency. I know this because I have relatives who say this out loud behind closed doors. I don’t agree with any of it, and quite frankly it’s very embarrassing, but most of us first generation Indian Canadians feel very upset about how its all played out and the negative light in which our people are now viewed under. Personally, I agree they arent interested in becoming culturally Canadian, they just want to be in Canada for financial reasons. They stay in their groups, dont integrate and think somehow this will play out well. It isnt discrimination when your own people also feel this way. I have yet to meet a first gen Canadian who disagrees

No way you came to Canada I live like 30 min from Brampton 😭😭

I went to college there, first time i've ever been a minority. I saw like 3 other white dudes my whole 3 years there, it was crazy man. They got whole neighbourhoods and zip's together ;-;

Justin, my family and I are dismayed my our neighbors here in the US that voted for the DONALD. Can we bring our talents & wealth to Canada?? We are college educated & ready to be a part of a society with stronger values than the new America.

Thank you for bringing our situation to light, Tyler. I miss the Canada from my childhood.

Son of a WW2 vet , miss my dad daily , was laid to rest on Nov11th . Glad he is not alive to see this . ????< Our friends > not our friend ??

I wish i could be able to live there honestly, say ashby

I am ashamed of my country, America. But these comments make me feel a little less ashamed.

Going to Niagara in 2019 vs 2024, crazy the change in 5 years. Couldn't even imagine now

American here. I’m just in shock daily at this point. \nThis is not how we roll.
