Oh the IRONY! If you aren't First Nations, you ARE an immigrant. Why don't you actually all make an effort to learn at least a few words in our languages; the ACTUAL languages of Our country 🙄. You can't be that dumb. I'm not trying to be harsh, but most of us speak our language and 1 or 2 languages from the European settlers here. It really suits everyone here to never bring Indigenous people into your conversations while you call it "Your country, your 'Canada', you culture". Everyone who's ancestors aren't from need to do better. It blows my mind how you come here and fight against each other while being immigrants yourselves. You demand assimilation from others while you yourselves aren't Indigenous, and don't make the slightest effort to assimilation to OUR culture. Complete hypocrites.🤣🤣🤣 If I were you, I'd be ashamed. I can't see myself ever going to someone else's country, living in it, let alone being born in it, and have the audacity to act and speak with that amount of utter continuous ignorance and disrespect the way most of the European settlers and other settlers/"Canadians" do. Do better before complaining about each other cause, you're no better and immigrants yourselves. Oh ya, and film Native Child in the background at 7:06, the place not First Nations operated known for stealing our children and getting tons of funding to line their pockets while almost all reserves have no clean drinking water, houses breaking down, unable to get work outside due to racist from all types of immigrants (yes, including European 'Canadians'), but putting a video of a European 'Canadian' talking about not being able to afford cable and her bills. Because these things are happening to European settlers/ 'Canadians', now it's finally a problem. The IRONY.

Westerners, aren't having children, because we can't afford to. The more immigrants that enter, makes it even more unaffordable for westerners it is to have. On top of that, the constant demonization of (predominantly) white people to hate the past, feminism, and queer theory being pushed, definitely doesn't help. I can't even go to a foodbank for a few basics, without a 3 hour wait from all the recent immigrants that don't speak English, and push their way thru lines

People blaming immigrants for their problems is a joke. Doug Ford is the problem. He lines his pockets while we fight each other for crumbs.

Bottom line is , No one cares about history anymore.

I have worked my entire life and paid taxes and live well under the poverty line with young children and come from multy cultural family but I can't get assistance and most immigrants can. We are so lost as a country. We need to bring back unabashed pride for our country again

There is no Canadian culture, what is the typical food of Canada, what are the typical dances of Canada, what are the historical monuments of Canada? It is a new country, the architecture is the same as that of the US. And in Canada, immigrants are segregated: Hispanics marry Hispanics, Muslims marry Muslims, whites marry whites. The only thing we share is a table at Tim Hortons, a line at McDonald's, or an elevator in the building.

This has to stop!!! I am sickened by what’s happened to our lovely country. We are gonna become a crap hole like India is. Crapping in our fresh water, garbage lining every street and no jobs, chaos on our streets. It never ends. I could go on and on. I am SICK of it!!! I didn’t vote them in!!!

I became homeless after spending over 2 months in the ICU of a Toronto hospital barely walking in was taken to a Toronto city shelter and for 5 years I've been in 5 different Toronto shelters in what seemed like a blink of a eye every shelter became 80% north African Muslim men ,they were given cash allowances to buy their own food $80 a day plus welfare cheques once a month boosted up with TTC allowance $157 clothing allowances and yes they were all given money to buy laptops and smart phones apparently so they can keep in touch with their families back in Africa, in the last shelter I stayed in there was only 6 white Canadian born homeless people living there and 94 north Africans whom we started to notice were being housed only to have the next one take up their cott space housed yes and when we started looking into how they were getting housed so fast when we were apparently on a 37,000 name waiting list for housing with our housing workers telling us it will take 10 years if we are lucky then we found out about the secret housing program that these fresh off the boat immigrants were getting market value apartments of their choice you pick the government pays one African we befriended ( he wasn't a believer in Islam shush or they'll kill him) got a 1 bedroom condo apartment over looking Toronto's Island airport $2,700 a month and the government payed for all his furnishings, so now we knew and we approached the on site housing workers asking why we weren't told about COHB at first they tried to deny it existed but researching we had all the information first these COHB forms were to be handed out to those with seniority length of stay so as to cut out on abuse being that they are worth over $250,000 after ten years of paying your rent as in free housing for life , then we discovered the staff were making false entries on our files claiming some of us lost our seniority for fighting claiming we were kicked out for 14 days others for smoking violations what they didn't think we knew was on admission to any shelter you sign a agreement that they are videoing you and keeping a file on you that also stated we are allowed to have up to date copies of our files then during the 2 weeks we were supposedly kicked out we asked for the videos from that period once they realized we had a advocate working for us who a l so supplies lawyers to us should we need so they got caught then management called us all up for a meeting and that's when we hit him with a bombshell yes the shelters are staffed with immigrants from the same African countries this Hoard is coming from and we have a sworn statement saying they are charging $10,000 for these guaranteed housing forms yes $10,000 that's what our none Muslim African shelter friend payed for his form and why he's now living free in easily close to a million dollar condo and believe me the cars parked there show it, ok so after we busted them guess what 6 whites who were all born in Canada and have lived a average of 3.5 years in a shelter all got housed in apartments of our choosing mind we did get ours fully furnished by the government like all these illegal Christian hating islamists get free housing free food free clothing free medical free dental free prescription drugs and a free huge monthly welfare cheque Rebel news please contact us we want every Canadian to know what's going on and how we Canadians are being left out, p.s just go to any money transfer business at the end of the month and you'll see line ups of these north Africans wiring money back to their wives and families even boxing up all the mountains of free clothing sending it to Africa same what they're doing with all the prescription drugs they are getting for free everything is about making money taking taking taking not putting anything back , now I sleep soundly no one stealing my belongings no more catching a different cold every week no more being called a filthy infidel which seems to be their favorite word COHB look that up and if your living paycheck to paycheck working 2 jobs just get to a shelter say one with 94 Africans who will all be housed shortly leaving you the most seniority easy peasy but remember to keep a eye on your file for false entries or borrow $10,000 to buy one

As you can tell from my name I am an immigrant from India. Been in this part of the world for almost 40 years. Educated from kindergarten with English as medium of instruction, a post graduate degree, in IT - one of the first things I did was watch, listen and learn how things are done here. Quickly acquired accent neutrality. Please and thank you . Not litter every where. I came here on my own. Nobody requested me to come here. I considered it a privilege and I took it as my obligation to integrate, not import my values or culture here. I worked, paid my taxes and never expected a handout from anybody or from the government. I loved to be the brown dot in a sea of white. I loved my new country. After the pandemic years, things have changed. There has been a sudden browning of Canada. I didn't leave India 40 odd years ago for India to come to me. NO, I am not being racist and it is not just the visual browning either. The loud, non English speaking, profusely littering, rude, entitlement-minded, anti-social, riffraff that seem to have found their way here displacing the native, white Canadians. I so miss the "eh". I miss the polite society. Wherever I go, I see a sea of immigrants speaking their own tongue. Rude, misbehaved. Cutting you off in line. Discarding the shopping cart any where they please. I am getting older every year and I do not want to die in a country that is suddenly so foreign to me. I would love my old Canada back, please. I want my "eh"s back please. I did my part in the last elections, but lost out to "them". Are we at a point, where we can never get the old Canada back??????

Problem is the people keep electing liberal progressive woke making policies against its own people. Till people wake up you all going to the drain. We here in US at lease hold the line for a while with Trump in office hoping the next one will continue his fight for his people. Canadians are the one to blame and not this politicians. Elbow up huh??? You really don’t know how Trump trying to save North America and recalibrate it for the goodness of its people living in it.

WHITE PEOPLE ARE JUST GONNA HALF TO SUCK IT UP, BOTTOM LINE WHITES NEED IMMIGRANTS BECAUSE YOU CANT BUILD NOTHING ON YOUR OWN AND MOST OF YOU COME FROM IMMIGRANTS, STOP BEING HIPOCRITS

THIS IS WHAT THE JEWS DID TO US.... BOTTOM LINE.... THANK THE JEWS LADY..

Lucky enough to live on a migrant demarcation line, Barrie. 20 years ago, it was coming north, so I'm lucky enough to be able to find work north. Now I just sold my house and will be moving further north. Funny, but customers are saying they infested the north too. I got maybeb2 decades left, so maybe even rural Alberta.

Did any1 see a long line up of Swiss / German / Dutch / Icelanders etc at the IRCC lines lol ?? The smarter folks are avoiding Canada lol

So I had to spend tens of thousands 💵, prove that I could speak BOTH languages and assimilate before arriving, then pray to have enough points. Now everyone and their grandparents can just skip the line.

Their only job will be to fight the future civil war, which quicky will run along ethnic lines. It is simply cheaper than a conventional war. Also, the outcome is more predictable. Unfortunately, Canadians have no sense of self-preservation.

Come with. You did last time, and you were terrific. One more time to get a much more global alliance. They will then come to the table as equals. Either that ort they will completely joib with ruzzia, dirty dirty dirty. Trump wouldn't do that! The ROI isn't in his line of sight!

It has occurred to me that, if Canada is rich in minerals he’s seeking from Ukraine, the only reason for the Ukraine deal is because he has something else to gain…. Alignment with Putin being my first thought. And after Ukraine is secured to US/Russia they will move on to Greenland. All to line their pockets.

To clarify US credibility with Allies is Not on the Line.\nThere hasnt been any credibility to begin with. Anyone who makes Deals with Trump only half expects him to keep them and everyone knows him as utterly unpredictable.\n\nI dont know what credibility they are taking about.

Czech Republic ?? stands with Canada! And admire how you all deal with this. What a great speach of a real gentleman. “We are polite but we will not back down from a fight” - what a line! “Donald” has an utterly twisted mind and am so glad so many Americans know it.\nThe way how he and his pet Vance treat Ukraine is sick on the whole other level.

Its not the Red Wave of Communism we should be worried about its the Big Red Wave of Trumpism. Hope the Australian Prime Minister steps up in line with Canada ??

*TWICE impeached CONVICTED CRIMINAL tRUmp is in the WH to save his rear from prison and to line his and his cronies like muskRat pockets...* Just like ANY DICTATOR! The rest is SMOKE and MIRRORS!

To say Trudeau is speaking that bluntly because he’s on his way out is incorrect. He toes the party line and the Liberals have everything to lose. And, this is the same tone that all of the Canadian diplomats are using, including the foreign minister. They’ve had enough.

Governor Trudeau spoke well. But tariff can be easily avoided across the state line.

Zelenskyy the puppet clown ?, disrespectfully has crossed the line of decency\n by being loud, interrupting, and with very rude high hand gestures \ntowards the president of United States of America☹️\nWhat a junkie clown?, He's going to learn it the hard way very soon ☹️\nA comedian puppet clown ? who still thinks that he is a real leader ???\nWait for it junkie \nCheers ????

PROBLEM IS? WE STILL HAVE SO MANY MANIPULATED LEG HUMPERS THAT TRULY BELIEVE THAT TRUMP IS GOING TO LINE THEIR POCKETS WITH GOLD, HE AIN'T.

I Iook forward to raising a glass when we learn the news that this undercooked mutt has failed to recover from a bad fall. \n\nSadly Vance is next in line and other undercooked mutts.  \n\nNever imagined we'd go from a golden escalator to an alley between a porn shop and landscape office to hell in a hand basket... at least in my lifetime. Shit show engaged.

Some excellent leadership from Mr Trudeau there. Much respect from your UK friends. Intelligence and truth - two things Trump is incapable of. The US will find themselves down the line with one friend only - Russia - who will then eventually screw over the US as they always have. Trump is a disaster for the US, and the wider world. The world is starting to turn their back on the US, as the US is doing to the world.

As a us citizen lets go bitch we will see whos economy can bully who lmfao - canada has a smaller population than Californian and we have companies richer than your entire country, you are going to lose if you dont fall in line.

Well said ! This will hurt Canada, but the US as well. Inflation will be up, markets have been plumetting, and jobs are on the line. All because of Trump and his senseless war.

Dear MAGA Christians:\nTrump is working for Russia. \nWe warned you imbeciles and you still voted for him - so you could “own the libs.”\nNow, you’re going to hurt because all the social services YOU depend on (and we “libs” pay for with taxes) are going to be taken away. \nIt makes me sad that so many good people will suffer but the silver lining - if there is one - is that YOU will suffer more. Because all you have is the f***ing church (who, by the way, funnel your donations straight to the Republican Party)\n\n✝️??️

Trump is going to tank the world economy and Maga will be fine with it until there are bread lines ?

US will the only loser here , Canada doesn't need US trade but the US needs Canadian resources that can't be replaced by any other Country , this is going to be good for Canada we needed this, free trade with EU and Asia , huge NG contracts with Europe ,our softwood lumber can be gobbled up by Europe and Asia , going to build our own pipe lines and refineries and sell gas and oil at a higher price . 10 yrs from now Canada will be one of the riches Countries in the World !!!

#Impeachtrump he’s trying to DESTROY the US. I am a seven year Air Force veteran and I didn’t put my life on the line to watch a bunch of assholes turn this country into a dictatorship with a bunch of idiot minions bowing a knee to him and licking his boots.\nCanada, Im sorry

Canada’s 25% Tariffs? A Win for American Businesses in the Long Run\n\nAt first glance, Canada slapping a 25% tariff on U.S. goods might seem like a negative for America. But in reality, this move could actually work in our favor by making the U.S. economy stronger, more self-sufficient, and less dependent on foreign markets.\n\t1.\tBoosting American Manufacturing & Production – When Canada makes U.S. goods more expensive with tariffs, American businesses have a huge opportunity to shift focus to domestic markets and new trade partners. This could bring more production back home and reduce reliance on Canada.\n\t2.\tEncouraging Trade Diversification – The U.S. isn’t limited to Canada. If they want to play hardball, we can expand exports to other countries with fewer trade restrictions. Canada makes up about 15% of U.S. exports, but the rest of the world is wide open. This is a chance to diversify and strengthen our economy.\n\t3.\tMaking Canada Pay More for U.S. Goods – Tariffs don’t just hurt exporters—they also raise costs for Canadian consumers. If Canada wants American products, they’ll end up paying more or have to settle for alternatives that might be lower quality or more expensive from other countries.\n\t4.\tStrengthening America’s Negotiating Position – If Canada wants to raise tariffs, that gives the U.S. even more leverage in future trade talks. The U.S. economy is far larger and more powerful than Canada’s, and in the long run, they need us more than we need them.\n\t5.\tReducing America’s Trade Deficit – If fewer goods are exported to Canada, that means more products stay in the U.S. This helps lower dependence on foreign markets and could even stabilize prices for American consumers.\n\nBottom Line: Canada’s Move Hurts Them More Than It Hurts the U.S.\n\nIf Canada wants to put tariffs on U.S. goods, let them. In the long run, it pushes America to be more self-reliant, strengthens our industries, and forces Canada to pay the price for their own policies.\n\nAt the end of the day, America has the stronger economy, better resources, and more trade options—Canada needs U.S. trade more than we need theirs. If they want to make American goods more expensive, they’ll feel it a lot more than we will.

Trump thinks he can control the world and extort money to line his pockets...Trump is revegeful, boastful and even the late QE knows that is also a balatant thief ...there is absolutely nothing good about him ....anybody else who is found guilty in the US are subjected to a prison sentence but Trump will corrupt the even the justice system so that he can wilfully commit more crimes and not be sentence to prison but can go on freely to commit more criminal acts. The American people who dont want more sufferings should strip him of the title president and kick the him out of the White House soon.

I believe that once we get everything on line, we can weather out the storm. What does Canada have that we don't have? All we want is a fair deal. We have endured the burden of ensuring the safety and economic development of our allies. They have all benefitted, and it is time for them to offer some relief while Trump works on our problems back home.

If we are going to be an authoritarian, antidemocratic, fascist dictatorship, we have to shed our old friends who would get all judgy about the the human rights abuses. So, step one, destroy relationships with friends. Step two, buddy up to Putin and other dictatorships who will be glad to trade and associate with us even if we do run concentration camps or whatever.\nOr Trump is sucking Putin's butt again for mysterious reasons. He likes it so much, like a drug addict, he is willing to lose everything . If it were just a matter of his individual tastes, I don't get it, but none of my business. Except by dragging the whole country down for his kink, it is out business. So, I think we should cut Trump lose to go to Russia and run around on his knees chasing Putin as much as he likes. Meanwhile, we need a president and I can only say F-no to Vance and I don't know how many other dictator butt goblins in the line of succession, so, since Trudeau is going to be looking for work, lets make and exception and hire him for president. I'd much rather have one with a pro-Canada bias than one one who seems to think he is Putin's Elon Musk.

I am sorry that our new President is such an ass. You are 100% correct, this will make it very difficult for us Americans, but he does not care. He is only out to find ways to line his personal pocket as well as the pockets of his billionare cronies. \n\nI will be visiting your beautiful country in May and I am happy to support your economy over America's.

All of you people that talk so tough, you should volunteer to the front lines and put your soul where your gob is. I bet none of you have the gonads to front line it. To serve where the bullets fly. Trudy your young enough, grow a pair and confront that lying, murderous dictator, and show the world your worth... you pu....!!

Dear Prime Minister Trudeau, Thank you for speaking to the American public so kindly & articulately! Please let some of our states become provinces or territories of Canada. Please let us know the forms to fill out.... Hawaii must look pretty great to you all...?! If Donald can rename the Gulf of Mexico, surely we can adjust some border lines....?

All these years US has a trade deficit of 1 trillion dollars every year. With tariffs we could have recovered 250 billion every year. That is a lot of money. Currently every American owes $110,000 because of the accumulated debt of 36.5 trillion.\n\nJustin, how long are we supposed to bend back wards while US has a trade deficit of trillion dollar over the past 20 years. Why cant to you balance the imports and exports so that you don't have to keep taking advantage of USA. CNN did not see the trade deficit every single year for 20 years? what are they talking about? Our news channels have just become political entities rather than looking for the greater good of the Americans. One is for Republicans and others for Democrats - ridiculous. \n\nCanada and Mexico are saying, please stop tariffs, it is going to hurt America. LOL. No it is not. If tariffs were there in 2024, US would have gotten back 15 billion dollar revenue from Canada and Mexico would have paid 46 billion to USA. All this time, this was affecting only Americans and while you are enjoying not paying for your share, you have made US pay by taking loans to pay for the imports increasing our Debt. Yes it has been hurting America for the past 20 years, otherwise how did we accumulate 36.5 trillion debt.\n\nLike Justin said, if Canada can survive while paying 15 billion to USA, of course USA will do fine while collecting the 15 billion from Canada and 46 billion form Mexico. What do you all think that the public is blind?\n\nTo the American Public: Why would we impose tariffs, if that is going to hurt the US. And why are Canada and Mexico shaking in their boots? It would be naive, if you think it is out of their good heart. It had been hurting US for the past 20 years and they did not care. This time it is going to hurt them so all this fuss. The bottom line is that they don't want to pay all the excess that they have been dumping on us while they were benefiting. USA will use the revenue generated (total around 250 billion for 2025 form tariffs) to reduce our tax, make things more affordable, inject in to our own businesses and generate more employment.

TrueDope made about five hours after he made his last hard-line stance to Trump. Then he caved and put 10,000 Canadian troops on the border.

FALSdeu can get in line behind Zelensky. America will not get ripped off anymore under Democrarts, Joe Biden, and the liberal media !!!

Sounds like the tarrifs work. They definitely won't hurt USA. Read between tge lines folks

Supposed to happen. Read your Bible. I mean come on.. I’m not even educated and I can see between the lines. beware of actions

As a Native American I’m disgusted with how DOTARD is destroying our country!!! My ancestors are crying, hate to say it but I’m happier my mother passed away before this buffoon was back!! She’d be so worried, possibly losing her social security and survivors benefits…that was her life-line!…at least she’s resting peacefully!!! ? Miss you mama!!! ??????\nAnd FYI…DOTARD is NOT a smart man, he’s a greedy, egotistical, narcissistic fool!!!

Sane America here supporting Trudeau! I apologize for this disaster in the white house. There is no reason for this other than to line the pocket of Trump's billionaire friends.

Bottom line is that Trump Inc is financed by Russian oligarchs. If Putin puts a stop to those finances, Trump Inc would be bankrupt.

Military aged men are being kidnapped in Ukraine and forced to the front lines. They are not the good guys. And having good relations with Russia is not a bad thing.
