america, you are going to suffer for attacking us.

Forget WW3 Trump is going to destroy the US himself.

Yo Justin, just make sure to not add tariffs that are going to hurt us fellow Canadians.

Very good summary. I will add that our I know you wanted to be concise and you nailed it. For anyone who is curious about how our politics make everything worse for us federally, let me explain it in a short time.\n\nTrudeau as of the day of this video, March 3, 2025, is STILL the PM. He said he WOULD resign once a new leader was picked through a democratic process. Right now, he's basically just doing photo ops in Ukraine, UK and anywhere else on our dime because Parliament is prorogued and the party in power, Liberal, is having a leadership race. So, while he may resign within the week once that leadership race is done, he's still technically in charge.\n\nWhat makes that race and the PM's prorogation so bad is that we're in the middle of a crisis - several actually - caused in part directly by Trudeau and his Liberals (and the NDP supporting them). The latest would be Trump's tariffs starting today, March 4, 2025. Trudeau always disappears during a crisis, leaving us to fend for ourselves - (1) COVID, he was at the cottage using every excuse not to be accountable for anything or using unconstitutional powers to crush a protest he didn't know how to handle, (2) Chinese spies, he's ignoring our intelligence service, (3) federal worker strike, he's in NYC at some gala.... I could go on but there's a reason we're hurting so bad.\n\nWe have zero federal leadership, and a federal government that makes things worse for us with things like: over-regulation, subsidizing media to keep us misinformed, nerfing select natural resource sectors but favoring others (oil and gas suffer, while coal is fine... probably because we sell it to China, but I digress), letting criminal out of jail, uncontrolled immigration, passing policies like the FHSA that drive home prices higher and higher, and of course, more and more taxes. I could go on about the billions in taxpayers' money the government blows - it's like a black hole - or the fact that MPs keep getting raises - April 1 is their fifth since COVID - and most federal and government employees are all getting raises at a time when the rest of us are learning to get by with less and less because we're taxed so much and housing, groceries, etc. are so unaffordable.\n\nI have applied for US citizenship. I want to stick around to fix Canada, but I think it's too far gone. We have too many socialists/communists in power and they're not getting voted out any time soon. It's been fun Canada, it's been fun.

You mention that Americans are 30% more expensive than Canadians but you dont mention that the US is far more unequal with a Gini coefficient of 0.41 vs 0.35 in Canada. Now there is also a known issue with using GDP data to calculate productivity and that is that in sme countries the labor of GDP is much lower than in others. You then end up with Irish productivity being the second highest in the world only because most large US corporations operating in the EU register there to pay lower taxes but most of that revenue is just on paper for Ireland. or with Guyana whose oil and mining revenue makes it productivity equal to that of the US. Maybe that is the case, but is it? and if so why is the average wage in Guyana so much lower? so choosing only one specific stat can make any point of view seem true. you have to look at the bigger picture.\nnow the issue is Canada has been getting more unequal but it is still much better than the US. so what it means is that the higher worker productivity in the US benefits corporations and billionaires far more than it benefits the average American. now if we compare cost of living say between NYC and Toronto:\nCost of Living in Toronto is 37.5% lower than in New York, NY (without rent) \nCost of Living Including Rent in Toronto is 47.1% lower than in New York, NY \nRent Prices in Toronto are 59.2% lower than in New York, NY \nRestaurant Prices in Toronto are 34.5% lower than in New York, NY \nGroceries Prices in Toronto are 33.0% lower than in New York, NY \nLocal Purchasing Power in Toronto is 7.2% higher than in New York, NY \nand this is similar when comparing almost all large Canadian cities with a comparable US one. And whilst housing and NIMBYIsm is real issue you have very similar issues in the US which also has almost no mix zoning. But throw in safety nets and go ask Canadians if they want to change for the US system. I doubt most will. Sure some want things to change but some assuming everyone wants an ultra capitalistic society. most are ok with less growth ut better balanced growth (the exact opposite of the boom and bust US model)

Indians have used Canada like a flop house. Indians go to diploma mills and try to use it as a backdoor to stay in Canada. They take over Canadian communities and try to turn them into India - making the locals feel like foreigners in their own home. They're also involved in a lot of crime. This includes: auto theft rings, synthetic ID/credit fraud, gun and drug smuggling, and one of the largest gold heists in Canadian history at Toronto Pearson airport. Americans have stated that the top nationality entering the US illegally from Canada is Indian. The drugs they are complaining about entering the US from Canada are almost entirely brought in by Indian truck drivers (Google it and find many examples). A Fentanyl super lab in BC capable of producing over 95 million lethal doses that was busted was run by an Indian. This is now threatening trade with our main trade partner as a trade war has just started. ENOUGH ALREADY! Indians need to be sent home, and banned from entering Canada.

Let us be honest, Indian students go to Canada to become a PR or a citizen! Living standard for ordinary people in India is very poor! Like Chinese, Indians want to live in western countries and bring their relatives with them! Australia has become very strict with foreign students too! You cannot jump from student visa to PR or working visa! Overstayers in AUS will soon be deported too!

The *enormous* problem with this video is the idea that _living_ in Canada is the same as the US! If you want to sell your soul and live in a country with rampant crime, gun-obsessed citizens and essentially zero social safety net, go nuts! Canada has a lifestyle which is far more aligned with Nordic countries than it is with the US; polite discourse, care for the needy and elderly, and a far greater desire for work/life balance. Higher GDP per capita is _irrelevant_ *if you have a basically dysfunctional civil society to go with it* .

We have maintained a high level standard of living, when by all rights we should not have it. Many want to blame government, but one part of the problem is an over reliance as an exporter of raw natural resources and a reliance on generally a single market (USA) for our goods. Interestingly enough the problems have been reinforced by governments of every type. What annoys me most is that these issues have been known for a long time, and the various governments have been scared to do anything about it. And they never took Sir Donald's words seriously - either about the tarriffs or statehood. I have heard zero from any level of government looking for new markets for our goods, yet they have had since November to do something. Going to be a stressful ride for many of us. I am recently retired and wonder if I should be worred.

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.

I hate it when canadian gets their early life subsidized by the country(education) and then go to the US the cash in.

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.

If my country doesn't get housing costs under control they're in serious trouble. The average house in the town I live in is something like 900K and there's basically no local economy. With costs so high I can't afford to start a family. If we keep gaining old folks needing healthcare while keeping housing expenses high and wages low taxes will have to keep going up.\n\nI am not going to continue to pay huge portions of my income for the benefit of the elderly while I can't afford a decent lifestyle. I don't want to but it seems moving to the US or elsewhere is the only option if things continue this way. At list point the local governments are so invested in denying housing permits and abusing zoning laws to prevent housing being built that the only way to fix it would be to strip the provinces and cities of the right to decide their own zoning bylaws. \n\nI want to see a change in the constitution that makes zoning bylaws illegal. There are too many people thinking of their self interest and not of the Nations interest. We deserve to lose the right to decide what can be built in our neighborhoods. We have been abusing this right for too long

Great video, but dude. Don’t call us the “presumptive 51st state”. That’s a hard no-go in Canada. ??

Im going to be fully honest. Trump usually ends up saying something completely stupid and absurd at the time, but in the future there ends up being some truth to it. It's like he can see the future or something. So imagine if Canada gets so bad, that some Canadian provinces secede from Canada and join the US. ?

Thing to note\n1) The great world reset was fabricated to hyper inflate life. This is not a canada only phenomenon\n\n2) in canada and the us hedge funds and corporate investors are buying houses on mass. Hyperinflating their prices. And the government of both countries allows even foriegn investors to do it (even if they pretend to put guardrails to slow or thwart this its so easy to circumvent for people with infinite resources)\n\n3) why does the govt allow this because it makes the multiple properties they own on mass also go up. So it's a case of the rich helping each other be richer\n\nYou are all just saying misinformation that was spoon fed to you to distract you from the truth

America is dangerous and Canada is not. My quality of life is miles better than it would be in the US. \nOur economy is going to be just fine. \n\nThe American economy is going to be the one that declines the most in the next decade, thanks to Trump! Hahaha

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.

Why the jews don’t leave n go to Poland or us

Canadian doctors don’t want to communicate with their patients by email or phone because they want us go in person so they will get paid. You cannot call in and ask to repeat a medication either you have to go in and visit them in person so they can get paid. My last visit to my family doctor presented like 8 missed appointments with her and wanted\n me to pay.? I asked where did you generate those from? She claimed the system.?‍♀️ I ended up paying for one only which was a physical app. I knew about and she waved the and still make mi paid.

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...

We Indian are almost legal immigrants to Germany. All Indian state love community adoption, we are big inside our culture and different language 28 spoken in India . \n1. We are more adoptable and love to mix another culture. So no doubt of German ?? government policy towards India ?? \n2. We love technology, most Indian immigrants from India who live in Germany are mostly tech guys\n3. A handshaking promise should go,, language barrier should be minimized,, you teach us German language please don’t deny us first instance on language barrier. I know 80% German know English since you are developed from childhood that can be very respectful and interesting. Language learning come with social relationship\n4. Positive things come with positive attitude

totally do not understand how this can happen!!! after 911 happened we went to Canada from Niagara Falls, when we returned back to NY--we witnessed US border security interrogating and not allowing a man to go into NY due to the answers he gave them about his trip details. I just do not understand how people can just come here from Canada on a bus--this is absolutely insane!!! no wonder over 400 terrorists have made it through...and what about the ones who haven't been caught!

we have a proplem and they are going to make our own country worse , they have no money or any means to help us , they are looking to take from us .... they have nothing only boots and clothing ... this is not good

there are already Palestinian refugees all over the world, including the Arab world and including the US, and they havent been able to go back home, as their homes were stolen, and whatever was left is just getting smaller and smaller... very strange...

Jagmeet and Jaswinder Trudeau used these Indian to stay in power, no that the power has slipped away they are going to send back their illegal vote by manipulating them to join forces with the separatist khalistani force backed by ISI and US deep state.

Us needs?a new education come to Canada and study ours then go home an improve us we have second best in the whole world

Regarding tariffs on Canada. The real target are corrupt Liberals, not us the Canadian citizens. Trudeau act like an evil teenage spoiled brat. His word salads and extravagant lavish expenses that benefits himself and his buddies NGOs have to be exposed and sentenced to jail. Trudeau is best buddy with Gavin Newsom, so, go figure right? We need an election, we will elect Conservative Poilievre for our new Prime Minister, and we need a DOGE for Canada. Cheers!

HERE WE GO I HEARD SO LONG AGO THAT SOME PEOPLE ENTERING TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TRHU CANADIAN BIRDERS THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN GOING MOST OF THIS PEOPLE FROM INDIA,CHIN ,JAPAN AND PEOPLE FROM THE MIDDLE EAST REGION THAT IS A BIG PROBLEM BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND CANADA AND THE ONES WHO CONTROL THIS ELEGAL PEOPLE SOME OF THEM ARE ON SOUTH AMERICA LIKE PERU,ECUADOR, COLOMBIA AND EVENFROM ARGENTINA AND CHILE AND THE ONE WHO BRING PEOPLE FROM EUROPE SOME OF THEM ARE POLISH MAFIA PALESTINIANS WHO WERE BORN IN GERMANY THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS TO BE AWARE, BECAUSE IS NOT ONLY PEOPLE FROM CENTRAL AMERICA OR SOUTH AMERICA, BUT PEOPLE WHO COMES FROM EUROPE ARE BRING IN BY THE CARTELS OF SOUTH AMERICA JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THEY WERE LEADERS OF THE MS 13 AND THE 18 MARAS FROM EL SALVADOR THE PROBLEM IS BIG IN OUR COUNTRY HAS BECOME THE EYES OF THE CARTELES, BECAUSE THEY KNOW IS A GOOD REVENUE FOR THEM. \nGOD BLESS YOU MR.DONAL TRUMP PRESIDENT OF OUR COUNTRY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND GOD BLESS MR.TOM HOMAN FOR THE GOOD WORK BEE STARED BUT IS SOMETHING IN BEHALF OF ALL OF US WHO LIVES HERE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WHAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS TO DO TO CUT ALL KIDS OF AID TO THOSE CITIES WHO CALL THEM SELFS SANTUARY CITIES GOOD EXAMPLE IS THE MAYOR OF THE CITY OF CHICAGO WHAT THIS GUY HE BELIEVE HE US OR WHAT HE WANTS TO PROVE THE HE IS THE SUPER MAYOR AND RUN AGAIN FOR MAYOR I WILL TELL YOU THIS SOME MUSLIMS MUST HAS TO BE BEHIND HIM MAYBE BARACK OBAMA BECAUSE THIS GUY OBAMA CAME FROM NO WHERE AND WENT UP TO THE WHITTE HOUSE, SOME MUSLIMS LEADERS IN THE MIDDLE EAST ARE THE ONES WHO PUT BERACK OBAMA AS A PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA MOST OF THIS BLACK GUYS WHO ARE THE OWNERS OF BUSINESS HERE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ARE NOT CHRISTIANS THEY ARE MUSLIMS JUST BE REAL CARFULL WITH THEM, BECAUSE O SAW TO MANY BEAUTIFUL CHINESE GIRLS BROUGHT TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ELEGAL AND GOT TOGETHER WITH BLACK GUYS HOW BECAUSE THERE IS A BLACK CARTEL TO REMEMBER WHEN THE CHICAGO BULLS BECAME CHAMPIONS 5 TIME REMEMBER ALL THE DAMAGE THAT WAS HERE IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO WELL THIS WAS ORGANIZED BY BLACK LEADERS, MUSLIMS AND WHO KNOWS HOW MANY OTHERS. \n❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

So let me get this staight. Criminals allowed into Canada and then cross the border in the US\nHow did they get into Canada in the first place. Oh yea, Trudeau let them in with little or no vetting. No wonder Trump is doing what he is doing to Canada . Trudeau has got to go. Resign and someone else as PM.

I thought lot of people said they hate America? Why they want to go so bad? Apparently they prefer US more Canada.

Fake! \nWhy would they go to the US to get deported?

umm last time we checked....if u wanna go into the us u have to go past US CUSTOMS.......SOOO canada isnt letting anyone in......the US CUSTOMS IS

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.

stop invading us, go home. we're struggling too.

how many immigrants came from US to Canada do you think? A LOT they almost all came from the Roxham road. there's way more comming from US the going to US on the Canada-US border...

The US population getting old, 50% fewer marriages, and couples have fewer or no kids. What are they going to do to replace the aging workforce? Trump has no mechanisms. Canada uses immigration to keep the economy going. The USA will pay for it. It is starting, who will tend the fields, small startups are mainly started by immigrants. Innovation will stop.

If you believe in the God of Israel that land was given to the Israelites by God allowing them to go and inherit it because those people were worshiping false gods, but since Israel also fell into idolatry and at times didn’t trust in God , God handed them over to enemies , as a Christian we know what will happen in the future because the Bible tells us that although Israel is in disobedience, God still has promises for the Jews.

It’s not Canada job to check on people going from it territory to the us, if you leave the us to Canada, it’s the responsibility of the Canadian borders patrol to know who they are ect..During the 60’s, Fidel Castro Ruz said to the Canadians: what they’re doing to us, they are doing to you to. Did the Canadians understood, like my infant daughter had habit to : I nen know. Today, in Quebec, Ontario, the factoriy buildings are still up but inside completely empty. After the implode of the Soviet Union as the only rooster on the block, they asked most of the countries around the world to shut down theirs raffineries, in Alberta Canada there is one in Balzac, nobody today knows it existence. The us produce light crude and theirs raffineries are built for heavy one, the reason they need oil from the outside and they pay very cheap for it, like Canada got 7 dollars/ barrel, not too long ago, today, I think it’s $ 16.00. To extract the oil from the sand, that cost a lot of money and the pollution level dios mios. They care, good luck. In Africa, with theirs vassals, they organize coups after coup, according to voster, i think, an Africa with the Africans is earth paradise, now they started to ask them to leave, they don’t need them. The canadian company barrick of Toronto just paid something around $480 billions, the ceo had a warrant arrest after his a… the australian one of resolute was in jail and paid what they owed, all of them are a bunch of thieves. They better be careful with the chineses but they are still long time better than any country the collective West. Like I said it, since the beginning of the 2000, the us and the remaining of the g7 will be at each other throat, GOOD.?

The more they let the illegals in the food prices and goods go up and puts a strain on US citizens. It’s like a mother who steps over their own flesh and blood child for one kid that’s not there blood to quote an old saying their will be strangers in your land they shall be the head and you who live in this land you will be made the tail they are the children of bewilderment.

I say the USA should sell out State by State to Global Police operated by the UN Councils. Then people could come to the USA and go home under a Joint Task Force Flag and still be a democracy while capitalizing on the Global Merger and spend the US Defense Budget on monitoring the Morality of the Government that invested in the State Ownership. It would be the USA and the State would be International. Also, immigrants coming here now are part of an Orthodox Holy War and will run out of people soon because they are focused on living out their Last Days...high ?

Make no mistake, the democrats and Rinos have done this for 3 reasons- 1. To destabilize our country (chaos/ bankruptcy), votes, with an end goal of a One World Government. They have been telling us this for decades, don't believe me go back through c-span and listen for yourself. It's all Bush Sr. talked about.

it is also important to mention that they are a lot of people coming from the US and going to Canada illegaly. Take the Roxam road for example. Or that poor farmer who had to dig a trench by himself to block trucks crossing his fields. And they are plenty of more examples.

There’s only three ways to get to Canada Fly there, which requires a visa take a boat which requires a visa or go from the US to Canada which requires a valid passport

They gave rides to terrorists who broke into our country?!?! U know we also trained the terrorists to fly for 9-11 also. Maybe if we keep going our Democratic leaders ( I use that term loosely) can have us blown up on purpose because when u import terrorists 9-11 is what happens! Joe Biden and Kamala Harris should be arrested and tried for treason!!!!! If u can’t get Joe then go after Kamala aka border Czars. This is criminal they know full well what can happen when we allow terrorists in this country! Disgusting!

Go Home and drive your evil leaders out of power and put God-fearing leaders into power. US has their own problems to fix.

they can’t just take a bus from canada to the US without going through US border control. Same at airports, US border control has check points in Canadian airports.

The illegals have to enter Canada first at some point and in some way and it's obvious that Canada has dropped the ball on it's own border and immigration controls and is just pointing the way to the US border . This is a big reason why relations with Justin Trudeau and Trump have gone sour . Why is the New York Mayor and the Governor not being arrested ? Going to need a wall around New York .

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.

Much more migrants go from the US to Canada than the other way around.
