All joking aside, Canada has been able to form a symbiotic relationship of mutual benefit with the United States since even before NAFTA 1. But.......... right now it is almost like a 51st state and I do not mean that in a joking way. US states are always competing with each other, but what prevents things like, oh say the American Civil war from happening is the Federal apparatus keeps them in line for the good of the empire as a whole. \n\n If Canada is like a 51st state, then it is competing with the other 50 states in a way that all 50 of them are going to get upset about. So either the states complain, or you treat Canada as an economic competitor. Mexico being behind the United States and Canada is what makes it a good candidate for a symbiotic relationship. For all its problems, Mexico has a Christian population (with some indigenous traits) that goes well with America. Their nations different economic status means we can support them and they can support us doing different things for countries of different development stages.\n\nCanada being so similar to the United States will want that as well and will never outbid the United States. Again this is seen as a hostile economic competitor. \n\nIts not Canada or Americas fault. After 2007 and the lies about fanny and Freddie, leman bros, mortgage backed security's, and a cash shortage that was not real. How was it real if the offshore exchanges did nothing? 2007 was not financial in origin it was our global monetary system seizing up. To say Wall Street greed and MBSs did it would be like saying a single drop of cement turned the ocean to cement.\n\nBut something did. Something turned the market from liquid to concrete, it happened in France decades before......\nFinancially packaged items could no longer be priced or traded.

This video is horrible. I don't know what political angle is, but the real problems are very well known and have nothing to do with what you said. First, housing is incredibly difficult to build in Canada because of regulations and land title problems, I.e., you don't own that land, the indians do. On top of that, there is a constant influx of immigrant that require housing that doesn't exist. Children cry because they cannot leave their parents' houses because they can't move anywhere, so they can't find any jobs locally, and they're trapped. There is no will in the canadian government to change these immigration policies, to change the land rules so that people can own land and build houses, or do anything about their incredibly micro managed economy that makes it impossible to do anything. If so, yeah, they go to the US to have a future while Canada stagnants and dies.

As a Canadian who has lived my whole life here, in my opinion there were two major factors that need to be highlighted that started this mess: fiscal policy and focus on fringe politics. First, Canada came out of the 2008 meltdown relatively unscathed due to following a markedly different strategic path than other major countries, namely tight banking regulations as well as 15 years of paying down the national debt. However, several years after 2008, sentiment shifted to adopting the same MMT-led fiscal policies as other nations: lower interest rates and deficit spending. Secondly, at least 10 years ago, there was a major political shift to start emphasizing fringe social issues (climate, race-based, gender, etc.) instead of standard issues such as the economy or military to name two, and it was strongly evident in academia and in the media. The result was little governmental, public or media attention being paid to core economic concerns such as the massive growing government and consumer debt levels, highly inflationary housing market, or decreasing productivity. When COVID hit, the government further doubled the existing federal debt and when they found that unsustainable, opened the doors to massive immigration levels to bring the Debt-per-Capita ratio down which while helping in that one metric, has further inflated the housing market all while forcing wages down. We now have unsustainable public debt levels, unaffordable housing, decreasing wages, decreasing productivity, and a troubling reactionary political swing towards extremist right-wing ideologies. Top that off with the US administration seeing Canada is on an economic precipice and threatening to take the country over, there couldn't be a more perfect storm.

Not only is Canada bringing in mass amount of unskilled immigrants, but they are are subsidizing their wages, driving down wages even further as Canadians entering the work force can't compete for jobs when companies can pay well below minimum wage for foreign workers who will be topped up by the government. Our own taxes are being used to make our own citizens more poor.

Well... Despite it's problems, I'd still much rather live in Canada than the UK. I mean look how beautiful and clean it is.

Can confirm. It's not going well in Canada.

We get migrants flying to the US and crossing to Canada as well. Just sayin

India needs to be entirely banned from coming into Canada. Millions need to be deported back as well. They were given too many chances and leeway and disrespected all of it. GTFO

From Saudi Arabia we support Canada well done ?????

I don’t know why the media reporter is showing that these new changes are only for Indians. I understand that there are few Indians who are living in Canada illegally, but so are from the other countries as well, like Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, and many other countries.

Well if they're in the bush in Canada and the border guy's don't get them something in the Canadian bush will .

Serious question, why don't they just stay in Canada? Is Canada deporting immigrants as well?

Well done Canada!

So…Canada isn’t cooperating about illegal migrants??? It’s going to backfire on that populations in ways that they can’t imagine…and I guest, rightly so, as the population is so liberal. Oh well…’time will tell….

In case anyone is wondering why so many Indians are trying to flee Canada here it is. Under Trudeau and the liberal government Canada was basically giving a free pass to anyone who wants to come to Canada through colleges and universities, if you get into a Canadian school, you can get a study permit (which also allows you to work for 20h a week). Additionally after the schooling you are given a guaranteed work permit for the same duration as the schooling (if you went to school 2 years you get a 2 year permit, 4 years you get a 4 year permit, ect.) A Canada and immigration agencies (for some reason) basically advertised this to India as a guaranteed way to get permanent residence in Canada. Canadians hated the massive flood of people coming into Canada (about a million a year at its peak, which for a smaller country like canada is equivalent to 10 million people coming into the USA every year). This is really unpopular with voters of course (in part because of the housing, food, and low skill work shortages it created), and the next Canadian election is this year. So the conservative government has vowed to massivly decrease the number of immigrants coming into Canada and the Liberal government knowing that this can be used against them in the next election is decreasing the amount of PR cards they are given (like a Canadian green card) as well as the people they are letting in in total. Now as the (mostly Indian) immigrants work permits expire and they will soon be kicked out of the country or no longer legally be allowed to work, they are fleeing to NYC to try to take advantage of the sanctuary city (something that does not exist in Canada).

Canada and the US share the longest border in the world. It's not just illegal immigration coming from Canada but the US as well. Both countries need to co operate to stop this. Also, illegal immigrants can not claim refugee status if they are escaping from a developed country. The Americans should educate themselves on Roxham road and how this a major entry point between both countries

1. They are not migrants; they are illegal invaders. 2. They cannot enter NYC from Canada which is 335 miles from the Canadian border. They can enter New York State and head to sanctuary cities from there to claim their free ride. 3. Canada needs to stop these illegals from entering our country as well.

I am personally opposed to Canada becoming a State. Far too many French, the ONLY thing the French do well is host invasions.

Well kind of surprised,, Trudeau Carney Freeland , said this problem did not exist in Canada

How do these people get to Canada in the first place? Apparently they have a border problem as well, we should send their border patrol some $$ assistance instead of funding African's accessibility to condoms ?

Wow did you say 16000 crossed an artificial line well build a steel wall on it That unprotected border used to be something both countries were proud of. People used to cross the borber to go to work and go home every day. Trump says Canada should become the 51st state but all those brown people will obviously have to go. So all those educated Asians whose first choice was to immigrate to the US but had to settle for Canada and have every reason to support statehood aren't welcome.

*From Canada? Well, we all know those aren't whites or east/southeast asians entering from Canada.*

maine has been a lot of illegals coming in from canada, we also have ms 13 gang in maine as well. they all need to go

This report is so typical of American arrogance and probably erroneous. Somehow, it's Canada who's not doing enough , but it should be the US that has increased their border security as well. If you think we condone migrant crossing, you're being ridiculous. Do your share protecting our mutual border, and stop bitching and whining. \nSmugglers from the USA bring drugs and guns into Canada. Do you care about that?? This is such inflammatory and disgraceful reporting. You sound like it's a big joke. Shame on you.

It's only the Alberta premier that has stepped up security Alberta is the only one implementing drones and helicopters New dogs new border patrol agents it's only happening in Alberta she is the only one taking this seriously not only for Americans but for Albertans, we refused to bring in legalized drugs, it doesn't work very well just take a look at BC in Ontario seriously and Quebec Quebec is really bad as well they are really bad with policies and honestly I wish that Americans would look at Alberta and Saskatchewan as different than the rest of Canada because we are, we really might as well just be American honestly

Oh Canada …. So you are at fault as well. Time to go.

See Canada they flee from your fascist state as well.

Ok, i dont know yet how true this is but pleases show all the illegals entering America as well, i am positive it is more that what you see here. We were not called a peaceful nation for nothing, not perfect but we're not as bad as America. I live both America and my home Canada and both nations will come together in brotherly love and unity ❤️

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.

As a Canadian I can tell you that Trash is right, 16,000 illegal immigrants crossed into the United States from Canada last year. But... What Trash forgot to mention is that 263,000 illegal immigrants crossed into Canada from the United States last year as well! Let's build a wall and get Mexico to pay for it. The we can keep our 16,000 illegal immigrants and You can keep your 263,000 illegal immigrants. Then Trash mentioned that fentanyl is being smuggled into the United States from Canada. This is also true... But again... Only about one half of one percent is getting into the USA from Canada. California alone is letting in 68% of all of the Fentanyl that is in your country! Why isn't Trump doing anything about that? Why isn't Trash Boredom reporting on it?

what isn't canada protecting the border as well.....

Well they didn’t cross where I live there’s to much water between the US and Canada even if they did cross I’d give them credit for swimming 13 miles across in 30 some degrees weather and water! ?

Canada has been a wide open border for well over 40 years. It’s massive and heavy wilderness. But now we’re in an invasion.

Why is it that illegals who make it to Canada, want to still come to America? I thought Canada gave those people great benefits as well.

FRANKLY, I DO NOT SEE HOW PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS ANY CHOICE,..... EXCEPT TO ANNEX AND PROTECT THE USA AS WELL AS CANADA , AND TAKE CONTROL OF CANADA, BY MAKING CANADA OUR BELOVED, 51'ST USA STATE..........................................

Some of them are suffering from frost bite. Well they can suffer from frost bite in Canada. You can't come here illegally.

I'm from Canada, and unfortunately, our liberal government is letting this happen. Believe me when I say the rest of Canada feels that way. We have no way of sharing our beliefs because this liberal government has shut our media down as well. Canada has been under socialism for a while now.

Well time to initiate that tariff to canada

I used to think Pres. Trump was being too hard on Canada then I got a look at the tariffs they impose on our goods. Some as high as 250%. I think Trump just wants a level playing field and a lot of help from Canada on the border. I think Poilievre feels the need to talk tough in response but I think he really wants the same things as Trump. I hope Poilievre becomes PM because he's conservative and I think he'll work well with Trump as they're both conservative nationalists.

Canada gets 40,000 to 80,000 year coming North\nWe tried last 10 years to stop it\n\n&\nMigrants fly to NYC take bus to local town closest to border, & than take can literally right to place where they cross into Canada\n\nNow because Pierre Poilievre is going to win our next election for our Conservative Party\nWho says in his election promises to close the border\n\nAs when one crosses into Canada illegally\n\nThey bypass our immigration & go thru our Court system\n\nUnder present Liberal govt\nAs they wait for court case\n\nSocial Services hooks them up with place to live\nMonthly welfare\n& even employment \n\nSo illegal migrants r going back South as they know when Conservatives win\nDeportations will be enforced like what is happening in U.S right now\n\nSanctuary cities is attracting them back into U.S. \n\nMany Independent Media covered going back to 2015\n\nRebel News\nDid several stories as well as others\n\nSo I guess I can only say\n\nHIW DOES IT FEEL !!\n\nCanada tried & tried to get American border guards to stop on ur end \n\nThis is result of in action by Biden/Trump & Justin Trudeau’s Lii is break govt

Well, as you might known, those people are from countries that have visa to Canada, like most of middle East Muslim population even so call Palestinians, few latin American countries because Canada doesn't allow them, they love Muslim, so as you can imagine many terrorism, so that's an loophole there, because at the south no more illegals at least 95% down illegal immigration against 60% or so, so it's clear now.

They may as well change Canada’s name to Chinada.

There use to be a border patrol show for the Canadian border. I always hated that show because how difficult it was to even enter the country to visit. Very very strick and the agents did their jobs well. What happened to those standards. The illegals wouldn’t be crossing the border if Canada kept those strick standards. I learned why the agents were so strick.

And to make matters worse, they were in canada illegally as well, BUT as a U.S. citizen, I have to have a passport to cross into canada from the U.S, and back again....

Well, if they can afford to fly from God knows where to Canada (sporting current style clothing and brand new luggage), that blows up the leftist lie that they're all poor and oppressed.

Please don't send them back to Canada, our left wing politicians are allowing the attack here as well.

Why doesn’t the US have to pay as well to manage the border. How many people come from Canada vs Mexico?

What a crock of crap! The USA has the problem of weak borders, so they need to step up their border patrol. Canada is securing their borders because of the frequent and much more abundant cases of drugs and guns being smuggled into Canada! The stepped up Canadian border enforcement was already well underway months before Trump made his tariff threats. \nThink about it, the 43lbs of fentanyl that was smuggled in from Canada, at the US border, is a drop in the bucket in comparison to the flow of it that comes in through the ports. Also think about when you cross a border, it’s the country you are crossing into that checks you out. Classic case of Trump blaming others for US failure.

Well… Canada is now white should be brown it just got too many of white people invading so… who says maybe Canada will be brown Asian people invading now\n\nI’m just analyzing
