Now we have a President verses the cardboard cut out the last four years.

What we need to do is completely cut off any financial aide the United States pumps into their country! You dont want to take back your own people, ,,we are NOT giving you an American cent!

No offense, since I don’t know if you guys drink coffee or not, but You do realize other countries export to the US. Have never heard of Guatemalan, Brazil, Peru, Marrocan, Ethiopia, Belgium, Costa Rican coffee? Arab countries etc. They all make great coffee. Coffee is not only from Colombia. There’s so various countries producing great coffee .\n\nThey all export coffee to the US. Unless you ONLY like Colombian coffee this shouldn’t be a problem. I’m sure this benefits other countries to expand. Each with distinct flavors and aromas. \n\nStarbucks imports coffee from over 30 different countries from Latin America, Africa, Middle East. \n\nIt’s like if Trump puts a 25% tariff on French wine. I love my French wine and it would suck. But I still love my Italian and Washington State wine.\n\nBananas like mention also come from other countries as well like Guatemala, Costa Rica, Honduras etc. \nBasically other countries exist that benefit from this. The only problem I could see is they can’t produce enough . Which I doubt. And I’m sure African countries or other countries can under cut prices if others try to inflate prices just to get market share in the US. \n\nAlthough, coffee prices are not only determined by supply and demand. Country of origin and brand also plays a role. Like I said it’s like wine. I love my cheap Washington State Merlots and my Italian Chianti, but people still buy over price California and French wine .

Rump and republicans are going to raise taxes on everyone with tariffs to pay for billionaires tax cuts. Watch the money flow!

It’s all a distraction away from his tax cuts for billionaires

Colombia's main exports include:\nPetroleum (over 45% of exports)\nMinerals and precious metals\nCoffee, tea, and spices\nLive trees, plants, and cut flowers\nPlastics and plastic articles\nFruits and nuts\nAnimal/vegetable fats, oils, and waxes\nAluminum

Trump is a Sociopath, CONVICTED FELON who just cut off disease prevention/ Cancer research with NIH. All this when bird flu is developing. ?

Trump asked that we seal our borders and do something about fentanyl. How did Canadian politicians respond! Like chickens with their heads cut off, throwing around our idea of tariffs. Trump was clear. I have no idea why they had to take it to this level in Canada.

No surprise here, under the Liberals the size of the federal public service has ballooned. No doubt going forward cuts should be made.

What if he cut the utilities like water n power from the condo? Will that drive her out.

This is addressed mainly to the ugly Indian: My generation came to the racist west and built a golden reputation. We worked hard, assimilated, paid our taxes, and obeyed the laws. We were humble. We celebrated our native cultures within the confines of our communities. While it was frustrating to be invisible in white culture, we never sought to conquer them with our culture. We were ethical to the hilt. Our generations were poor -- yet we struggled to help others in India and in the west. We were NEVER on the dole. Personally I think it is rude to enter a nation (in the west or anywhere in the world) with naked opportunism. Speaking for myself -- despite neocolonialism, I admired western civilization, especially its older forms. \n \nBut the ugly Indian who comes now is loud, brash, socially irresponsible, exploitative, money-hungry, opportunistic, and arrogant beyond belief (full of the hubris that comes from sudden new wealth). They look down on us who have been here a while. They are used to a servant-culture and look down on white working class people, as if they are servants. As for second generation Indians in the west, they can be racist towards us first generations. But the opposite is true as well. Indian newcomers see them as an alien species. Indians do tend to hire their own and stick to their own identities -- I do not mean the Indian identity, but their native state identities. All this feeds into the primary and secondary forms of western racism that are already simmering beneath the surface. This new genre of Indians is destroying the goodwill we have built. I have personally witnessed arrogant young Indian students cutting the line to reach the front desk. No manners, no ethics. As a first generation Indian immigrant I get annoyed. So why shouldn't native born westerners (who are already racist)? \n \nBut to complain about how they smell is rude beyond belief. This must stop.

Why would they cut 3,000 jobs they still need to enforce the border

My 20 year old son wants so bad to get a trade and work hard in life...he just hasn't the funds to get there. Working at a fast food place where they are cutting most of the employees hours is getting very depressing for him.

The fact that most of the people who work on the immigration are Indians ?? so they can grant visa to their fellow citizens. They usually cut off applications from other countries and take ??s with illegal procedures and fake documents.

we need to cut 50% immigration department now. and stop immigration 3 years. We never had lack of labor. There are lot of qualified Canada couldn't find job. You are liar that lack of labor

We as Canadians ended to figure out what we want, cause this shit is contradictory. We want to “reduce the deficit” but don’t want to”raise taxes” but also hate when government “cuts government roles”. Those things are oppositional. We want to “slow immigration”, but then don’t want such a “backlog” as it severely impacts our economy. We are such a confused country who just wanna complain

People are not understanding this correctly. They are talking about cutting immigration JOBS by 20% over the next three years. that means layoffs. 20% job loss in government immigration departments.

The answer is simple, cut immigration, period. Unemployment rate is crazy for students looking for work because immigrants are taking the jobs. Look after your countries people first. Then look through immigration for what you have shortages of second. Canada use to understand and do this way better before Trudeau. But Trudeau just opened the doors to everyone. Putting Canada in a terrible state.

So… does cutting staff means we can’t address those already here??? Is this intended to delay those being removed vs those outside coming in… how cynical.

Cut the B S

Don't cut the jobs just kick the immigrants of the country.

Cut immigration period.....thank you pierre trudeau!

those gre edy ba sta rds US company owners wont pay more money to legals to work on their companies, they will just cut salaries and force modern slavery.

Bad reputation of India especially around lots of illegal indian immigrants and always looking for short cuts to ditch indian citizenship by fraudulent means

Indians dont just come they Insult the locals try to change the laws and rverything to be just like India ,All while inflicting thier bad attituudes and tempers on everyone ,insults trying to cut down citisens and trezt them like your dalits ,Your caste system is bs and stop treating westerners to your bs,Indians would still comd if given minimum wage for literally any job because India sucks that bad.

The reason why you are leaving Canada is because we have had 50 years of NeoLiberalism. We can't even imagine a government that provides us with good service. You quote the Fraser Institue and talk about getting tough on crime. This is all US billionaire promoted bunk. More cuts and austerity won't help anyone except the wealthy and corporations who have enjoyed everything their way since the 1980s. Based on you political leanings you will have to go to the US or a Fascist state where you will have less freedom and an even lower quality of life. Our taxes are not high and our debt is reasonable. We just have made our government so small and ineffective that it can't deal with anything and we have no sense of community values. It's going US style, winner take all.

Too many Indians trying to move abroad. Just because India’s economy is rising doesn’t give you passport to move abroad. We don’t want Indians in US from sub standard universities. We don’t want Indian workers to cut American workers. Stay back in your country. No one from US or EU is trying to relocate to India

Blessed New Year to all ... The reason for that is there are some Indians that come to the Caribbean overtakes and there are few locals to even have businesses and it been happening worldwide and there are some Indians whole scam people for the whole life living and that is why there's a trust issue they are faithful Indians their scam Indians and they are hardworking Indians and they are different Indians who just rely on their wealth to conquer but that is why other nations will feel threatened and feel that this is what they're coming to do so the best thing to do right now is cut it from the root and that is what is happening right now because on my island what we call front Street and back street is nothing but Indians and the local of growing frustrated ? about it because the island produced jewelry stores cosmetics electronics there's nothing there screams local so that is why people are getting fed up of it and they blame the government that is why I have heard on the street a lot of Indian blood will be shed

Improve trade and cut H4 visas for US as i have no idea on other countries. H4 visa housewives will really depressed in a country like US. because of depression crime rate will be more.? sometimes you wont have any indian friends near by even it has more indian immigrants. Give jobs to indians who are living there for generations. They must have contributed tons of inputs larger foreign trade income etc... Ask their inputs and India should make policies supportive or non supportive to indians. Dont send indians. They will suffer. As a indian we are nice people. help if you see any indians suffering in foreign countries. Please give help line to come back home . lot of movies you see in india shows immigrant suffering. those are all true. dont go unless you are rich and have billions of dollars. Increase jobs/ Salary/ skill training here. also improve immigration policies on other countries where indian immigrants is less. lot of foreign countries have worst weather. In those areas indians can Work from home. india should support WFH.?

Modi Ji is busy in Delhi election so he can't beat 'Danka'. Election khatam hone doh hamara Modi Ji Danka bajadenge ?.\n\nAll foreigners are getting Indian visas now why don't all Indians get own visa. If we don't get visa of own country how do we expect to be given visa overseas ?\n\nIf Neheru has started to give visa stamp in every page of passport while issuing passport youths wouldn't be roaming around VFS and embassies for visa. Neheru ki galti haii bhaisahab clear cut.

Cut off the money they will leave to US

And hopefully the Conservative party cuts those numbers 75%. We are full and broke , Canadians don’t have any obligations to anyone that is Temporary ! To all those that think they get to stay- think again, start to self deport now please.

WAY too many of them. cut it back to reasonable levels where there wouldn't be a hostile cultural takeover: \n\nsense of entitilement / victimhood\ntheir religion is different,\nthey would only help their own kind, \nwealth flaunting, \nthird-world behaviors. \npre-arrange marriage, \ncaste system, \ndiscrimination against their own kind. \n\nYIKES! WE DONT WANT THEM in the civilized world. assimilate or go back

I mean. I’m getting taxed the highest, get little benefits, this year they cut the child benefits because me and my wife together make 250k it’s a lot but 50% goes to the state and rent in Munich is huge. I still leave hours but I’m not rich. \nNow we talking to our companies to move our jobs to another country and live better.

Cut it down 100% now why are we cutting it down 25% over 3 years it is ilegal

Cut off electricity and water.

Can’t u cut her power or something

Less immigration, not total cut for General Immigration, and no entitled, hostile newcomers either!

Why is it that the United States, Europe and maybe Canada are so much against Migrants? Virtually every person in Canada is an Immigrant from Europe! Virtually everyone in the United States is an Immigrant from Europe or forced into Slavery from Africa as well as the Chinese Immigrants who helped build the railroads. I am especially surprised by Canada?If they are actually able to do this, it in essence would be the same as cutting off your nose to spite your face! I am getting the impression that many Countries are not as independent as they often boast about!??

4 million plus 300,000 more in 2025 is not cutting back

Canada is not India cut immigration from India

Its good. Why should they go to Canada? They think Canadian citizenship is the short cut to get US green card. It’s better to be India and work for our economy

You know what is weird about the America first argument? It pits Americans against immigrants, implying that immigrants are the reason that Americans do not have the support they should have. When really, the party that won off of the anti-immigrant rhetoric is the one stripping all the social programs and support away from working class Americans, and cutting taxes for the richest of the rich.

1000 % agree cutting out the citizenship who born here with their illegal parents…the kids should be deported with their parents although they born here. They are not legally citizens!
