Immigration policy is a federal responsibility, ensuring fairness. Why is it so confusing to so many to understand that Alberta is a province, not a country? A province that undermines consistent national standards weakens the sense of unity that holds a country together. When one province seeks to separate itself from the shared framework, divisions will arise, and policies will be driven by local political pressures rather than the broader national interest.
Analyzes federal vs. provincial jurisdiction in immigration policy and argues provincial deviation undermines national unity and standards.

Lena Diab is an embarrassment, and sadly, I say that as someone who lives in her riding and sees her up close (shame on my neighbours!). And I think we have to assume that she remains the Immigration Minister because Carney wants the file to be mismanaged, or he would replace her.
Combines personal experience as a constituent with criticism of the Immigration Minister's performance and the government's management of the immigration file.

Even though we as Americans might disagree with President Trump, we have to stand firm on some things here, the way PM Trudeau came on here and reversed this tariffs on the US after all we done with this is still an attack on us, we have to think broader and wider, I am a 22 year retired Navy vet and seen how these countries treat us and we have been taken advantage of, it’s time we stand firm. I love my Canadian brothers and sisters, but this more a government issue here.

Trudeau is on his way out. Has five days left in office. He is very unpopular on both sides in Canada due to the state of things in Canada that have nothing to do with Trump.

Critiques Trudeau's domestic unpopularity and questions his diplomatic strategy toward Trump, comparing Canadian and American perspectives.

As a Canadian, I believe that we should reduce immigration while not completely removing it like America has. Especially because crime rate has increased a little since canada became so international

As usual, trump is playing to his MAGA base. He's pretty good at manipulating public sentiment. But he sure as hell isn't qualified for ANY public office, let alone POTUS. Sadly, the majority of my fellow americans have become so stupid that they don't even comprehend what's happening.\n\nI'm in my 70s, and have witnessed decades of cooperation between Canada and the US. This is a supremely disappointing development.
Criticizes Trump's political competence and manipulation tactics while sharing personal experience of US-Canada relations.

Why were immigrants brought in? Answer that first! Who allowed it?? People go through a legal process, pay legal dues, wait with pride their turn to get entry to Canada to see themselves grouped with those who were allowed in free and demanding their cultural needs be met! And guess who bent over backwards!! It's painful people looking down upon you as hateful aliens! Stand up to policy makers and ask why that policy! They are busy with their shananigans adding votes to stay at helm while we spit venom!
Questions immigration policy decisions and differential treatment, urging accountability from policymakers while expressing frustration with preferential treatment.
