These immigrants were scheduled to leave anyway. They were well aware of it. So, it is not based on new immigration rules. The government tried to force too many people into the country, causing a spike in housing prices and many other problems. This then affected every Canadian. A lot are becoming even poorer. It is one of the reasons they had more tent cities and 2 million people going to food banks along with 2/3 of Canadians with only 500.00 a month after all monthly bills were paid. That's 2/3 of Canadians. The Convoy had released these figures over a year ago at CPAC. Proving that Canada is in a huge mess economically because of these Liberal policies. @minimaxmiaandme.4971 - I don't hide behind a fake name. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the convoy or did you forget? The Liberals violated Canadians' Constitutional Rights to Protest. Which proves they are more credible than the Liberals. Now be man enough to show your real identity.
Blames immigration policy for housing price spikes, poverty, food bank usage, and economic hardship while citing unverified statistics and making partisan claims about government policy impacts.

Reality is that Canada does not have a housing problem, it has a occupancy level problem, That can only be solved by having more babies.

I'm not an expert by any stretch but I think what America is trying to do is, by doing this, force the US market to start up working again, America can make 90% of everything it needs. \n\nThink about WW2. America wasn't reliant on world trade or manufacturing. Quite the opposite actually.\n\nOnly thing that makes sense to me.
Speculates about US economic strategy and self-sufficiency in manufacturing, comparing current policy to historical WW2 economic independence.

they should've deported all these visa student immigrants...over 5million of them and 0 went to school!!!
then on top of it people are making the same money from 10 years ago while the cost of living goes up and up and up
they mock us because we don't want to have children because we simply cannot afford 2-3k childcare while making 3.5k/month after taxes and rent at 3k/month
while they come here have a free house, free money, pop out kids like crazy because the government will pay for the extra kids
shit...highschool kids cant even get a job these days...the jobs that used to be for kids like tim hortons mcdonalds etc...are literally taken by immigrants as full blown jobs
then there's not even enough jobs for the people here and employers are paying less and less and if you don't like it move along there's 100 illegal immigrants on student visas behind you waiting for that job when they should've been out of this country already!!
Vancouver full of crackheads on fentanyl...Toronto full of heroin addicts walking around like zombies
truck drivers buying cdl's from vending machines...
icing on the cake was a crackhead doing heroin on a bench in broad daylight right on king st w.
we're talking about a main street not a slow street or a side street where nobody sees shit...its fucking KING AND PETER!!
I got so pissed off I tried to confront the dude but he was so out of it he couldn't even function...
now we're talking about a crackhead that if he opens his eyes and he's flipping out and sees you as the cookie monster he'll fucking stab you with a needle
what if it has hiv? or some other messed up disease? what if its a kid?
WHAT IF IT'S YOU?
what will it take for people to finally care about the issues in the community?!?
crackhead immigrant? deported...
cdl's? 10mil government trust fund to either run your own truck or to open a company...this would end all of these bankruptcy runaways whenever shit happens...
student WORK visas? revoke them all...if they can't afford to pay for their international studies they have no business being an international student...
first you study...get your degree once COMPLETED if you want to come back because you liked Canada apply from OUTSIDE Canada for a visa/pr.
we don't need people working 10 years saving up to study living in a condo bedroom like 6 people in there driving up the cost of living for everyone else then fucking off when shit gets tough...
Extended critique mixing unverified claims about visa students and government benefits with economic grievances about wages, housing, and job availability.

If tariffs only affect Americans and have no effect on the country, they’re being imposed against. Why is Canada so flustered by the tariffs? Is it because after all Canada does pay for the tariffs and not the American consumer? Or is it an ego thing?

Most Americans do not want to support Canada with our tax dollars. We have had a huge trade deficit with them for decades and we are the only military they have outside of a bad joke with no punchline. Canada needs to support itself militarily and financially.

yes, how will he make America great when he came out of all the agreements and increased duties, now what will he do with this money that he saved.

Discusses tariffs, government spending, and economic principles regarding wealth accumulation and state prosperity.
