I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.

Canada is not for skilled workers like Indians , we can get a reasonable job in India , cost of living is very cheap in India , IT revolution , banking , phonepay googlepay life is so easy now in India , UBER BIKE, auto and Car caters to every section of the society rich , middle class and poor .In canada refugees live happily because they don’t have anywhere to GO , no family and country for them .Last decade cost of living has grown enormously we cannot save a single dollar and housing is unaffordable, down payment it may take 20 yrs to save and another 30 yrs of mortagage when can u settle in life

Every student who comes to USA for M.S. graduate studenfrom India pay only 1semister fee to colleges but they apply for 2 year tuition in Indian banks \n\nWhat is happening is colleges collect 1 semester fee and after 1st semester.\n\n students work part time at restaurants, gas stations, Motels grocery stoes. Mostly at non chain stores. \n\nLegally they are suppose to work on campus but they work off campus and earn and then pay for college. And some send to India they their friends illegally.\n\nThey travel up to 50 miles around to work. \n\nThese students work for cash and work for $7 to $8 per hour or even less.\n\nStore proprietors / owners tell these students if anyone comes for raid they will tell that they are working on voluntary basis and taking salary. So like this millions of students work illegally.\n\nAfter student comes out of college during OPT and stem OPTA they continue to work and approach consulting companies to generate payroll / trainee for no r a son just to give them status. \n\nDuring OPT these employers collect money to pay taxes and generate payroll and keep them to put them to work and maintain their status.\n\nThis does not stop here.\nH1-B workers who come from India on lottery 80% do not have clent jobs but they use back door and show that they have jobs and continue to pay taxes to show on paper that they are still working with a hope that they get jobs in future. And do part time work at restaurants, grocery store etc..\n\nStudents also stay in apartments in groups of 5 to 6 in 2 bed room unit and share and save money actual apartment lease is on only 2 people remaining people stay illegal.\n\nLandlord cooperation is there. \n\nthis situation is causing so much trouble to American citizens. Most Americans do not get a job even if they get paid low wages due to these unauthorized workers.\n\nCreate a department to report every local illegal student workers or H1-Bs or OPTs to ICE and disqualify them and cancel their visas.

Trump created a hostile environment where people of color gonna have to tighten up their gonna come and believe their white privilege will save them from reckoning coming

American’s re save by this greatest leader in the world.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I think people missed the point TOTALLY. The Estrogen medication, etc. is an added costs. \nDiabetics are struck off the military for this very reason - only SMALL exceptions are made if the condition is minuscule.\n\nAlso the combat situations are very demanding. What happens if there is a war? FOOD and LIFE SAVING MEDICINE has a hard time getting to our troops … and now you want to PRIORITIZE shipping ESTROGEN to the front lines when you have a hard enough time getting food and life saving medication to the front lines? \n\nWell then … that now opens the door for diabetics and ANYONE ELSE with an illness that requires medication to DEMAND to be let into the military. \n\nAnd generally Trans people make up only 0.05% of the US population so I call \nBull that thousands of key positions will go I filled for decades. (What is this commander smoking)?\n\nAnd if you have an Identity trauma that forced you to change your sex … what are you going to do behind enemy lines when your Estrogen can’t get through and you begin to revert back to your biology? \n\nHorrible thing to say, but women have been raised and live with the threat of rape and have learned to become resilient over DECADES of being and living as a woman. What are you going to do if you are a Trans woman and get raped in the military for the first time? (Women have a certain resilience in this area that a man just does not have and it comes from living life as a woman - from birth).\n\nEven in peace time, transport problems do happen in remote areas … what happens when you run out of Estrogen and your next supply is 10 months away due to another outbreak of COVID and food, life saving medicine and COVID supplies are prioritized over your Estrogen? I know what will happen … you will whine, stomp your feet and cry like a baby that a critically ill soldier - in death’s door - is getting life saving medication over your Estrogen.\n\nMeanwhile when tampons and maxipads are late female soldiers just do what women have done for centuries … they just suck it up and keep on going.\n\nDemanding Male Privilege as a Trans Woman is pretty hypocritical.

Illegal is wrong, is humanly alive? When this shameful events went out from this human society.where thode situation creaters? Who are going to save this whole human society.will a day come to brighten the human socity and there respect. Sll had a family,they tryor doing illegal to live and save their family? Cant we find a way for their earnings?

so thousands of fit young men of fighting age who are in the US illegally are goimg to be deported, wow scandelous!!\n\nGuys we are officially in the END TIMES now this is why so much lunacy and evil is going on, Jesus said these things would come to pass Matt 24, Mark 13, Luke 21 and Revelation 6. I stand with the Lord Jesus Christ the Lord of all, the one who took our punishment for sin upon himself and gave his life for us on the cross at Calvary because he was the only one who could and you can also if like me you are fed up with and totally against this evil that is going on in our world turn to God call on Jesus Christ to save you right now, why wait any longer. We are being pushed into a *new*world*order and the enemy is parading their evil like never before in our faces, the only way out of it all is by salvation through Jesus Christ and to await his soon second coming to redeem us and destroy all evil. Repent of all sin and accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour today.\nTo receive Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour and be saved from sin–\nRomans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.\nRomans 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.\nRomans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.\nRomans 8:1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ. Please ask him into your heart for if you have read this far into this post without mocking and scoffing at what i’ve said be assured that he is knocking at the door of your heart.

The headline caption is wrong. Trump is doing the right thing. Why dont they enter America through the right process to enter a country. Why through thr back door. Thats a criminal mind set. America was almost turn down to the level trump was almost killed we all saw it. Only God saved him

These Cuban such hypocrites. I used to live in Miami and all they talked about is what they used to have in Cuba. \n\nMost of your families came in boats illegally... So save your BS bunch of hypocrites. You think Trump ? loves you what a joke ?

The C*A is partially responsible for this (Nicaragua). They wanted to destabilize these countries. Sad, but we can't save everyone. We have to stay looking out for ourselves.

Canadian government deport all Indian Villagers Punjabis so-called students / Bullock Cart Drivers to their back-home Haryana, KANNADDA. All they’re arrogant illiterate people burdens on Canadian economy. Canadian government should Save Canada ?? & Canadian youths futures. Deport Deport

I think that’s comparable to cost of living in Australia. So people with a high paying job and skills are necessary to have a good stress free life. If you are struggling to get a good job it’s going to be tough. Especially if you live far away and need to spend on fuel and rent or the cost of buying a house. It’s skewed towards highly skilled and people who already have a good savings account balance

If you love your country, you should fight for it! Make Canada great again! Save Canada for next generation!

Go back home. Please. Safely to save yourselves from harm. And to keep the children safe as well. There’s other way to do this. Legally.

RFK will ban glyphosate. Save the children

I’m Persian and there’s no Zoroastrian culture left in my country anymore. Indeed there’s no country left anymore it’s just history. Look at my country and learn the lesson. Save your countries before it’s too late.

God bless trump save USA

FATHER GOD ALMIGHTY be with guide and protect, those who are working to protect America and its people ??????⚖️?? and save the souls of the lost ??????????

Lets keep i real. The desire that most immigrants have is homeostasis which is the familiar. All humans do this. Individually indians are usually smart and decent people. But in groups ( and this doesnt just include indians) you get this group thinking that is prejudice against anyone who isnt one of their own. Im fairly certain its a good demonstration of what a different culture would experience in their own country. This is especially noticeable in markem with the Chinese population. \n\nLet me say this loud and clear. We didnt let you come here so you could start your own countries inside of our country. And beleive me, your gunna get rocked and put in your place if you guys keep coming here and being disrespectful. That goes for the any culture who is putting themselves first at the expense of other Canadians, and im not talking about white canadians im talking about all Canadians from anywhere. We re all equal and you will not be allowed to position your selves in a way that gives you immunity to these values. \n\nIm getting really tired of going into business like tim hortons and knowing what the nationality of the owner is by just looking around at the staff who work in fhe business. We let you have a seat at our table to break bread with us in a mutually benifital relationship. But what is pretty evident is that a lot of these people dont like us and if it was up to them we wouldnt exist. They fail to behave in a way that acknowledges the truth. That the family whos heritage is of this land, built this house that your living in. With our low corruption goverments , our clean drinking water, our free health care and education system, with our opportunities that make it possible through merit and hard work that it doesnt matter what family or where you were born. These are attractive features of canada that play a role in why people want to come here. And leave where they were. Its it logical to think that you have more to learn about us then we do of you? Not being on some selfish punk shit is canadas greatest strength. Its that same inclusives mentality that keep the government corruption very small which empowers the citizens to make them successful and able to contribute more back into this system. The very nature of hoarding resources for ones family, same culture, etc are the same oppressive situations many of these people left their countries to seek better opportunities. But once given those opportunities and a chance to decide for themselves, a lot of these people use their liberties to create exclusion and hostility toward out groups. The indians do this in a very overt in your face way, the chinese are more polite about it but both have this way of looking out for their own and not being concerned with anyone else. As far as im conerned you should all be split up and dispersered to live in different provinces and cites. I know this isnt realitic but it would save them from what a lot of them are gunna end up be exposed to which is experiences with native born Canadians who are going to very rudly show you what happens when you disrespectf someone in their own home. \n\nThe party is over. You people need to start being Canadian and care about Canadians like you care about your own culture or get the fuck out!

If they are here illegally, they must go. We have laws that must be upheld. Come via legal port of entry and save yourself the trouble.

Saving the white immigrants til the end ay? Anyone else surprised?

Go home in one peace and rejoicing. You guys never knows what God has in store for you and what He's saving you guys from. Trump maybe doing a great good sending you out of his plots and man made power plans. Y'all go home in faith and build your country. If your African government is a dictator and selfish ruler, vote for a people's government. God be praise ?

Go Trump Go save America, the whole world needs to fallow this example immediately

The common theme here is... If your country sucks, then do something about it, like we did, in 1775. It's obvious that none of those migrants care enough about their own country to be bothered with saving it. Create your own militia, and be willing to pay the price for the lifestyle that you all dream of.

No matter who is the prime minister . We didn't started it and we are not taking laying down. I think this was good enough push back. If Trumpy comes for more Next thing should be the Removing EV tax credit just on Tesla. Invest in Eastern Canada pipeline and refineries , Bring crude or finished product to Montreal and start sending to Europe. Even with higher cost to refine heavy Alberta crude, we can still bring cheaper gas to Europe given that we sell our crude at 57USD to States and USA sells to Europe at 70. In today's rate Canadian finished product (With heavy refine + high transportation cost) in USA is 73USD per barrel as compared to WTI (with lower refine cost + lower transportation cost) is 82 USD. At 2024 exports levels you saved 14.1 Billion dollars per year + all refinery jobs and reason for it is the heavy discount we gave to you on crude oil. Facts tells me you are the free loader. Yeah we are small and gonna be in bad shape But this does not ends well for you too either.

WE WOULD BE DOING THE SAME IF WE WERE THEM PLEASE SAVE YOUR SOULD ASK FOR FORGIVENESS ASK FOR COMPASSION THEY ARE DOING WHAT IT TAKES TO SURVIVE WE MAKE EXCUSES WHY WE CANT LET THEM IN AND HELP THEM WE HAVE LAMD WE HAVE MONEY WE HAVE FOOD THESE ARE HUMANS ,,, WE WOIULD DO THE SAME YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR JUDEGMENT

it worked the first time he instituted these tariffs in 2016, I suspect it will work again, because Canada and Mexico have no real leverage. they can say they will fight back with their own tariffs but its a losing game for them because, they are a luxury for us. we dont need them. they need us far more than we need them. and thats why despite grumbling they caved in last time. they will do the same, you just have to let them get it out of their system like a toddler and try and save face for a bit.

It's quite simple why rates are climbing with rising imports and falling exports, the FED is obviously to be blamed for banking crisis. Something will eventually break if they keep the quantitative tightening and higher interest rates. Is this really a good time to have some savings in stocks?

How to suck money out of savings accounts of the end consumers? Tariffs on all the popular products you can't domestically produce.

I already canceled my Netflix and Amazon prime. Saving me money in the meantime.

Do YOU really believe anything the Trudeau has to say? He's literally quit his post in shame..... \n\nThis is nothing more than trying to Save Face

No More Boeing ? at least more people will be save.

Europe economy is finally going to be saved as long as the Europe does not follow the US tariff policies.

Canada should think about selling its oil to South Korea instead of the US. South Korea is the 4th largest buyer of oil in the world & 80% of it is shipped from the Middle East region with much higher price than what Canada charges the US. Even if Canada charges South Korea with the same high price the Middle East nations charge, South Korea will end up saving money because the shipping distance from Canada is much closer than the Middle East region. It's a win-win case for both Canada & South Korea.

Canadian here while I support what the PM is doing, I don’t think a tit for tat solution is enough. Canada needs to look for other trading partners like China. Let’s have a free trade agreement with them and rip up USMCA. That’ll fix the trade deficit overnight. Similar thing for military we can save the Pentagon billions by leaving NORAD and NATO and building a strategic joint defence agreement with China.

So glad I started boycotting us products. I’m saving 25% buying Canadian.

Jesus christ is alive and he loves you believe in the lord Jesus christ and be saved ❤.

Too many different Black in America. \n\nThe Black Americans are known as Negro during the President Abraham Lincoln. \n\nAmerican Negro are once upon a time a popular breed in America. The Negro are proud and stand Tall. Now Negro are no longer popular as they are infiltrated by a list of black all over tarnishing the name of the Black Americans. \n\nPresident Trump ... get rid of the uncultured Black that created unrest, protests, gangsterism, murder, rapists, drug addicts..... name it all infected until Americans not to take action and suffers for their deeds. \n\nWell done, MAGA Team. \n\nGod Save America\n\nLet the True Blood Black America stand Tall in America.

I'm happy for the UK to be ruled by Trump. Please save us.

BANGLADESH : Is there any worthy person or country outside Bangladesh to urgently save and protect this nice country from the clutches of ''Anthrop***gites '' defeated chiefly by India in 1971 ??? ---Professor Dr A K Arthur, England.

Many many thanks to His Excellency Mr Donald J Trump, The President of America for deportation of illegal immigrants from America to save our beloved true Americans.

Usa ?? ?? from uk ?? trump has saved America..what a difference since trump became president.. who the fk voted for harris .. you fking idiots ..biden and harris are the worst president and presidential nominee in American history..

Save America from Mexico, Guatemala, Venezuela,Columbian illegal Aliens ? ?

Canada has been recruiting for the armed forces here trying to entice more woman to its ranks. This includes air force. Perhaps we might do a little head hunting south of the border as the removal of transgender DEI (woman) pilots( jet trained) in military already trained seasoned and having see combat in many cases would be an amazing addition to encourage even more woman here to enlist in our Military as a life career! JUST A THOUGHT! Saves money!

Trump was saved by God.

so let's pose a question to all those who seem to just hate the LGBTQIA+ community for whatever their reasons are....if someone who happens to be transgender saves your life, saves the life of one of their team members or perhaps leads an OP to a successful outcome, would you say that they were unqualified after the fact ? would you say that now as the regulations are being changed that they were never qualified to have performed those duties in the past ?? I've said this before, when you're downrange you don't give a damn if someone has a taco or a hotdog in their lunchbox, all that matters is that they've got your six and are willing to complete the directive as ordered. Every single one of you haters needs to realize that so many LGBTQIA+ service members have dedicated their efforts to keeping your asses safe in this country since the inception of the uniformed services were established. Should they not have done so ? Why does who they love, have sex with or how they dress actually matter to you as long as you're still able to go out and feed your fat ass an all American Cheeseburger under the watchful eye of the American Flag ?! And at the end of the day, all they ask is to be able to serve their country with dignity. It's disgusting that so many of y'all simply hate other folks this way and try to diminish the service of the LGBTQIA+ community.

None of this will save the decline of the empire.

We went through this 8 years ago! These people save lives and defend our citizens.. The new administration's silly arguments are wasting time, money, and energy (AGAIN) and it's insulting to the people who serve this country... Just another tactic to distract us
