Because the USD is the world reserve currency, money flows into the US. And this unparalleled slush fund is then used to fund venture capital which, then, leads to more innovation in a virtuous circle. The Cdn$ is not a reserve currency, however. Uninformed or wilfully ignorant US politicians point to the US deficit as some kind of problem when, in reality, it represents how the US exports its problems onto the rest of the world that uses the US dollar as an exchange mechanism. If the US dollar loses its exchange value for other countries then the US will be faced with the same issues as other western countries--such as Canada. This isn't to exonerate the failures of both Liberal and Conservative Canadian governments over the past 20 years. More to say that productivity is lower in Canada than the US because Canada's currency isn't the international mechanism of exchange . . .

The reason real estate prices have gone 300% but incomes only 100% is because of low interest rates. If you factor in carrying costs, the numbers aren't as extreme. The challenge now is that interest rates have increased to stave off inflation generated primarily during the covid years. While this has somewhat abated, real estate carrying costs remain elevated and price growth has stagnated, while the Canadian dollar has fallen, effectively resulting in reduced housing valuations (in US dollar terms). Can we ride this out until incomes catch up? Will productivity increases promised by leading political challengers (election coming this year) move the needle? Are tariffs and 51st state rhetoric just a negotiating tactic and bluster, or something real? Nobody knows, but we will find out..

Canada has many problems and disadvantages which will need to be determinedly addressed in the coming years. However, we have one key advantage over our friends to the south, and one I hope that over time this will increasingly bear fruit: we are not governed by a fascist-adjacent government. Our only political party with policies resembling the American Republicans is polling in the low single digits.\n\nSetting aside the question of whether American Republicans are 'fascist-adjacent', the truth is that much of the world perceives it as such. Our economy is so tied to the US that I would not wish them ill, or at least not very much. However, I think in the competition for talent American politics will be like a 'mark of Cane' on that country for a generation. My guess is that our - in comparison - boring politics will be a key advantage in the years to come.

Modi Bhakta should first Entrospect what modi govt did and doing for indian youths during last 10 years and presently. Good and international level education should get indian student is on us on Modi govt and state government. It is not responsibility of CANADA. Dear first you correct own house then rise finger on others. . Wearing western dress following western culture and criticism west too. It is not fairly good.

Funny that you do not mention 2 millions emigrants who entered Canada illegally from the US in the last 9 year.

The US has just had 4 years of wide open borders encouraged by the Biden administration. Now you want to blame all your immigration problems on Canada and Mexico and you demand these countries to fix your immigration problem immediately or be penalized. It's like blaming drug addicted Americans on Mexico and Canada. The blame belongs to your own country. Stop playing the victim card and accept your own responsibility!

The scam of coming into the us as a tourist and staying on to work had given these Hindu migrants four years of evading taxes

it's going to work. Canada wont go to sell in EU or China it's over seas way to long and most of the times still has to go thru the US lol it's to costly for one, and EU just wont cover all the cost, forget the logistic nightmare. US is like a 2 hour drive away!! big big difference. So simple, trumps tariffs will make Canadien companies sell there product higher so they dont lose to much profits. what does that do? US wont buy! then companies shut down, people loose their jobs. very simple. Many go on welfare for a year, when they run out older one or less educated one cant find jobs etc...Trump will kill Canada plain and simple. that's it that's all. He want our resources and will do it, we are done for. this will also kill truck drivers and many many many side workers. until we are part of the US.

3:16 why do we have to care so much for the opportunities of foreigners? They have infiltrated our government and weaponized our care for them against us. Canadians are dying over it, being forced to forfeit our taxes AND healthcare AND police protection AND housing AND cost of living. they don't care for us at all. They have no care about our opportunities they only make demands. All they contribute to is the natural GDP of their being here. They think coming here to replace us makes them good people, and we should appreciate them for giving us all of this diversity. it's madness and half of my family died over it the past few years. please make them leave. Stop letting them in and get them out of our government.

When my father escaped his country in the 1950's he had to go into the US army for 4 years to get his citizenship...makes me sick how entitled these immigrants are how many of them would come here if they had to do what my father had to do??? Begs the question how bad do they really want it...bring back military service for citizenship?? Idk...

My experience as a Canadian as we keep personal political, religious, racist beliefs to ourselves. Americans I found tend to bond to people based on these personal beliefs all too much. Love the diverse culture I live within in Canada. Should review the data on shootings in educational institutions in the US , you might be surprised how many days in a year these shootings do occur.

Over the last 4 years Quatar donated over 24 BILLION to top North American Universities to ensure they get their Islamist students a student visa and enrollment. So they can have many Islamists to OUTBREED us as they have been instructed to do.

They need to impound these buses and never give them back use them for evidence hold onto them for about two or three years. Make sure whoever is behind us goes out of business permanently.

Canada has been dealing will illegal migrant from the US and guns for years 90 % of gun used in gun crimes in Canada are from the US.

Why is Canada allowing illegal immigrants to enter their country without a passport? This is so unneighberly of Canada to treat us so badly for so many years when we have been so generous to them for so long.

SOON TOM HOLMAN WILL TAKE A RIDE UP TO NEW YORK WITH ABOUT 10 OR 15,000 OF HIS BUDDIES AND WITH THE HELP OF THE US AIR FORCE AND POSSIBLY THE US ARMY ROUND UP ALL YOUR ILLEGAL PROBLEMS AND GET THEM BACK WHERE THEY BELONG ON THE OUTSIDE FILLING OUT THE PAPERWORK TO MAKE LEGAL ENTRY. OH NO WAIT A MINUTE I FORGOT IF YOU WAIT UNTIL ICE CATCHES YOU, YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO MAKE LEGAL ENTRY. I THINK FOR 20 YEARS SO YOU BETTER RUN LIKE HELL WHILE YOU CAN.

US Gov should implement a 'Cane' law system (to hit someone with a long, thin stick as a punishment) for all these illegal immigrants...before deporting them back. In few years' times, the reinforcement team will know where to check for repeated offenders.

Last year, Walmart Canada reported gross revenue of $6 billion, up 1.8% from the previous year. \n \n In 2022, Home Depot brought in approximately 12 billion Canadian dollars of sales. \n \n Costco In Canada and through its international ventures the company generated 34.9 billion and 35.3 billion U.S. dollars, respectively. \n \n you get the point. \n \nThis is scary \n \nA foreign company in Canada does not have a specific time frame to keep its profits in a Canadian bank; however, according to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), most business records, including profits, must be kept for a minimum of six years from the end of the last tax year they relate to. \n \nKey points to remember: \n \nNo legal restriction on withdrawal: \n \nThere is no law that forces a foreign company to keep its profits in Canada for a specific duration. \n \nThis is just a few of the companies from the US that take $100 billion+ out of our economy every year and put it in US banks. why do we let them. they should keep that money in canada. interest rates for loans would go down. \n \n \nAI Overview from google \n \nWhen banks have more money, interest rates tend to go down. This is because a larger money supply increases the amount of credit available, which lowers the cost of borrowing.

So, my Canadian brothers are getting mad at us for putting Tariffs on em. Yet they've been doing that to us for years. We've given weapons & armor to y'all at a discount. Yet y'all don't even bother to stop criminals from coming here.\nA lof of y'all Canadians are hypocrites. I love ya, but this is shii, bro. ?‍♂️

Hey look up, Roxam Road we took millions of migrants from the States in from Turdeaus welcome to Canada tweet. The Turd govt put them up in high end hotels here also. They just trashed them. \nRight now a migrant can get close to 5g in $ and supports here. It was an attack on both of our countrires. Sadly you had Biden for 4 years. We have had the Turd for 10. If this country does not get a conservative majoroity we are screwed. \nWe have had the longest ynsecure border forever and the vast majority of Canadiands want fentany gone and a secure border back. \nA strong North America is in both our best our interests. Please give us a chance to get our Majority Conservatives in and don't listen to the liberals and ndp they are Biden x100.

If they were really “refugees” they’d come to a legitimate border crossing. These illegals mysteriously have 5-20k dollars to be trafficked into the US? No that no suspicious at all, since that’s probably 2 years wages where they come from. How many Americans do you know with that much cash readily available?

When TRUDEAU goes along with his entire incompetent woke Liberal party, guaranteed these number will drop dramatically on both sides, just like they have now Biden is out.\nCONTEXT: Canada population: 41 million --- US population: 340 million\n\nStatistics source: Canada-Gov irregular migrants webpage, (rounded) data represents ONLY illegal migrants that crossed FROM USA TO CANADA last two years (that they KNOW OF):\n2023 = 162,000\n2024 = 130,000\nTRUDEAU encouraged this by allowing them ALL to stay that POS\n\nStatistics straight from USCBP-GOV-STATS-nationwide-encounters web page (rounded) stats of ONLY illegal migrants that crossed FROM CANADA TO USA last two years (that they KNOW OF):\n2023 = 189,000\n2024 = 198,000\nBIDEN encouraged this by allowing them ALL to stay that POS\n\nNow look my fellow Americans, WE ARE NOT VICTIMS of CANADA. You KNOW we're not. STOP PLAYING VICTIM, it's grossly unmanly. We cannot hold Canada solely responsible for those ENTERING the USA illegally FROM Canada, without also taking likewise responsibility for STOPPING folks from illegally ENTERING CANADA from USA side. WE MUST BOTH STOP AND DEPORT THEM ALL. We'll BOTH be far more successful if we coordinate and cooperate towards the same mutual goal: TO DEFEND OUR OWN DAMN BORDERS AND STOP POINTING FINGERS LIKE WHINY LITTLE BABIES. WE ARE ALL UNDER ATTACK BY THE SAME ENEMIES. LET'S ACT LIKE IT.

Canada's Federal government has been terroristic towards us for 9 years of demented foolishness. Sincerely sorry about this. It's shameful discraceful, not good enough. In BC, the port of Vancouver doesn't do **** no x ray scanning cargo containers. Maybe 1% of containers are searched. We are a huge problem. Our media doesn't say anything about this.

Since the border is so vast, the method of deterrence has to be based on psychology. If the penalty for crossing the order illegally is horrendous, they will stop attempting to cross. Possible penalties:\n\n1. Automatic 2-10 years hard labor in confinement with no possibility of parole. No possibility of ever entering the US again legally after release, even as a tourist. Conditions of confinement must be necessarily strict and without recreational activities. \n2. Death penalty if human trafficking or drug trafficking.\n\nPenalties apply to asylum seekers as well as migrants.\n\nIf we want to stop the behavior, we have to criminalize it.

Good grief!! And the previous administration let this happen? Mind-blowing! I arrived in the US legally from Canada and the entire process took 14 years, after I got my two undergrad degrees and a Masters! And worked for 7 years in my specialization, a needed area of expertise in the US.

Im not so sure of the info coming across. Ive seen staggering numbers of immigrants coming north from the US into Quebec and Ontario for a number of years. Quebec had to set up shelters and programs to accommodate how many were coming up into Canada. Watching the RCMP helping them come into Canada, taking their luggage and guiding them Those officers should be charged with being an accomplice to a crime.. that would stop the police from helping bring them in... Maybe it changed and now they are going south?.. but getting to Canada isnt as simple as coming up through warmer weather countries and going south in Winter would be a major issue through snow and weather. Not so sold on the numbers coming from Canada going south though.

They need to let the people vote on Sanctuary city status. In New York and in Chicago where I am. Because it would probably lose. And that is why they are not letting us vote. And true about the mayor, he started speaking up against the Immigration policy a year ago, so they targeted him.

The illegals have been coming through the US to Canada for years now. These countries need to unite not only against invasion but all of the other corruption still ongoing!! Both countries are suffering while all guvs work toward the UN new world order destruction!! God help us as it appears we've become far too stupid to help ourselves!!

The mayor of NYC was shipping bus loads of illegal migrants to the Canadian border for years! 50,000 a year have crossed into Canada from the US at the Quebec border. It was at Roxham Road. New York has been crappy neighbor's to Canada.

Canadian speaking. We have endured for 9 years Trudeau s NWO 4th stage cancer on us! Millions in Canada hate this guys guts. Flooded millions of immigrants overwhelming our schools, hospitals and housing. Our corrupt government will happily feed these parasites that the Americans send back.

This illegal crossing from Canada to the. US has been going on for over Twenty-Four years.

Seems canada and mexico are both shitty friends and shitty allies....maybe we should just take them both and be done with it already, instead of them fucking us over every four years

Please more illegals come from US into Canada every year, not to mention your drugs and guns. We all know most are coming from Mexico. Another Trump supporter pushing his bs.

Don't listen to that garbage right winged fox media. Canada was dealing with this well before Trump took office again. As a Canadian, I can tell you our government failed us too. We took in well over 5 million immigrants (documented and undocumented) over the past 3 years. Like New York, many of our cities are overwhelmed with this influx. We don't even have the resources to track down expired visas, overstays, or asylum cases. Last year our government admitted there was a problem and decided to start taking action. The biggest issue is people claim to be tourists with no intent of leaving. The Canada US border is far stronger than our international one.

fake fake fake this crisis of illegals coming from the north. In fact for decades, it was the contrary, illegals were entering Canada from the USA. And the USA was not doing anything to prevent it as they were mostly happy illegals were leaving the USA. Now, in the last 2 to 3 years, few thousands of Indian citizens, on visitor visas to Canada, are trying to enter the US illegally. Canada is taking active measures to prevent that but the onus is on the US to protect its borders.

There are BILLIONS of ppl who in Africa, South America and Islam multiplied one thousand times in 100 yrs. They will not stop rapidly recklessly multiplying and of course, high numbers of kids per adult, esp abandoned mothers, creates poverty. Even if they make it to adulthood on hand outs stolen from your tax dollars they cannot possibly keep up with infrastructure, housing, sanitation, education, roads etc for an exploding population. You cannot possibly keep up with their needs. Then they blame us for causing their poverty when ctually it's their own fault and these smears are propaganda to justify invading us, robbing us of our jobs, driving housing prices sky high and stealing our ID's, posing as us, and getting jobs they use to deny us survival in govt, banks, medical, housing, HR etc. YES THEY ARE> It's very obvious. They get a stolen passport then change the name, photo, reissue it and voila. They have their own corrupt people in position to do it on the back end. It's already been exposed in the UK for many years. It's a global program, carefully coordinated. And people in the inside are helping them led by foreign men in dresses. YES THEY ARE. The pope wants this. The Vatican has sworn to destroy democracy for as long as it's existed. That's a fact. There's zero liberty, votes, free speech in the Bible. ZERO. Read it again. Jesus rules with an iron rod over a global slave world in the end of the Bible after all the groomers promises. Seditious treason is a very serious crime. Acting to disassemble law and order in our world is TREASON. IDGAF if you think you are doing it for your god. Go to a country that wants a king who vows to slave you...not our democracy.

Im Canadian and while the tariffs are gonna suck, I completely understand why Trump is doing it. Our government is an absolute clown show and what's worse is now the politicians and corporate media here have spun this whole thing as Trumps fault and alot of Canadians are falling for it buying into this whole US vs Canada BS. Like this all coulda been avoided if our politicians would've actually fixed the border YEARS ago, instead of legalizing heroin, making a gender neutral national anthem and making it illegal to misgender someone. \n \nHonestly I'm so embarrassed to be Canadian these days that being the 51st state is pretty appealing. I support gun rights, low taxes, deporting illegals, love proper BBQ and work for a paycheck. So if anyone in a red state is hiring, I'm happy to relocate..

16000 from Canada to US.. on the contrary last year there were 200,000 illegal crossings from the US to Canada. Trump needs to secure that border.\n\nAlso there were 2.1m illegal crossings last year from Mexico into the US.

Canada has become a grave enemy! They are really counting their coins aren’t they! Can rip us off for years now a stab in the back! As per Nancy Pelosi IMO!

Biden let millions of “refugees” enter Canada from the US for 4 years.\nThe entire US-Canada border is a mess for both countries because of Biden and now Trump is finally cleaning it up ?? \n\nThe border crackdown is great for both US and Canada.

If ANYONE IS ILLEGALLY IN THE US -LAW ABIDING OR NOT- THEY ARE CRIMINALS including their ninos-and WILL BE REMOVED OR STARVED OUT. Their illegal 'shelters' will be blocked & taken over by even the US military. Even if the female LIBERALS, who for a short time more, have authority DOJ Bondi will have them arrested, convicted & sent to be cell mates with that Liberal Senator recently taken to prison for 11 years.

So.... that's 16000 people from Canada over the last whole year, all caught by Canadian authorities and some US border people - but it's Trump's capture? I'm thinking it's Biden policies that did it, along with improvements in Canada's security plans over the last couple of years.

One of our biggest problems for years, which is extremely hard to understand is that a lot of our immensely ignorant and corrupt lawmakers make the laws protect the criminals, better than the people who pay their wages to protect the good people. We pay them to screw us and help protect the criminals.

our government in canada is as much of a joke as the last administration in the US was. thank god we have an election this year. 10 years of liberalism has made us into an international joke

Getting Canadian visa is very easy under Truduea Liberals, Liberals approved millions of visitors/ students/ temporary workers visa every year without proper vetting, most of these people coming from North India, so for them it’s easy to land in Canada and then they cross to US. That’s what they are doing for last 9 years .

India is the source of 200,000 to 750,000 illegals (many fly in as visitors or overstay student and work visas) - it would take tens of thousands of flights to send them back. \n\nVia GROK\nEstimates of the number of people from India living in the US illegally vary depending on the source and methodology. As of mid-2022, the Pew Research Center estimated there were about 725,000 undocumented Indian immigrants in the US, making them the third-largest group after those from Mexico and El Salvador. The Migration Policy Institute (MPI) provided a slightly higher estimate, suggesting around 11.3 million unauthorized immigrants total in the US as of mid-2022, with India being one of the top countries of origin, though exact numbers for Indians alone were not isolated in that figure. However, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reported a lower number, estimating 220,000 unauthorized Indians in 2022, down from a peak of 560,000 in 2016.\n\nThese differences highlight the uncertainty in tracking this population, as methods rely on survey data, border encounter statistics, and assumptions about overstays versus illegal crossings. For context, US Customs and Border Protection recorded 90,415 encounters with Indian migrants at the borders in fiscal year 2024 (October 2023 to September 2024), indicating ongoing illegal entry attempts, though not all encounters reflect people who remain in the US.

So just a few years ago 400 migrants a day were just walking into Canada from the US

America has no vacancy’s. We don’t want you here, we are not required to let you in so quit coming. The US is full of citizens. I hear Russia is nice this time of year.

Getting Canadian visa is very easy under Truduea Liberals, Liberals approved millions of visitors/ students/ temporary workers visa every year without proper vetting, most of these people coming from North India, so for them it’s easy to land in Canada and then they cross to US. That’s what they are doing for last 9 years .

We simply can't have the gov't itself bringing in 1M+ illegal immigrants per year, distribute them to cities across the US and provide a plethora of monetary resources to support them. That doesn't even account for everyone who was entrring the US illegally themselves!
