Great allegory of how he views chaos in his own country and then relies so heavily on experts to help him when he feels lost \n\nWhich appears to be more often with each passing week, due to his health issues and the damage sanctions, along with negative ideological & economic outcomes due to his support of brutal dictatorships such as Russia, Iran, Syria & North Korea. I doubt they are paying their bills on time or at all now & the most ideologically devastating fall was that of Syria. The people feel they have power back & it appears the brutal anti female & any economic freedom brutal dictatorship of Iran is next to fall and we’re all happy \n\nBut it places a weak economy & largely falsely inflated military capacity in a strange position \n\nWe needs to invade Taiwan to show idealogical but especially market strength due to the chip wars (which China is losing) and to fulfil in party alliances with the most radical \n\nLet’s see what comes, for I expect the worst while also hoping for the best

Why is this a news item ? Canadians are struggling and chances of recovery seem difficult. Canada needs to deport millions including students, refugees and temporary visa holders in order to ensure Canadians have employment. Canada is not in good position and its economy is struggling and if the trend continues there will be riots on the streets. Canadians are not able to food on the table and there are many without roof over their heads.

Its not about inflation or economy. Canada hates indians because some people ruined our image

Why go to other countries when you can enjoy freedom and luxuries in India itself, US economy is going down anyways. Stay here and enjoy freedom here itself instead of living like a slave in other countries.

This is India's problem!\nA complete failure to develop its economy since Independence in 1947,\nJust look at China which became fully independent in 1949, per capita income (2024) is $13,500.00 whereas in India it is $1,275.00. It is not even 1/10. Why?

Fine by me. Send all those Mexican manufacturing jobs you stole back to the US. \nYou can have all your criminals and bums back. No remittances either. \nThe Mexican economy relies on the US, not the other way around. \nIs she even Mexican? Sheinbaum doesn't sound like a Hispanic name.

If scammers continue to push up the cost of owning a rental property, economies of scale will make it so that only corporations can own rental properties and it will be far worse for all of us.

En mass’ Punjabi influx is the major reason.. Vast number of them can’t speak English and don’t ‘ve basic qualifications to pursue higher education.. So they opt for 18-month diploma to seek “quick employment”.. All these actions were successful “until Corona”.., Post-Corona economy has changed .. so has outlook native Canadians .. Majority of Canadians view “Brampton culture” as representative of culture of India .. (Brampton Culture- Not demonstrating character / discipline, not using deodorant/ unclean attire / engaging in public brawl etc.. )\n\nAdding further woes ~ not enough apt / housing available for Canadians ~ while students are pushed to tie ‘em selves in a group of 6+ in tiny 2-bedroom apt’s.. Quebec’s imposition of “French B-2 permit in language proficiency” has dented chances of Int’l students opting to study in Montreal ..\n\nIn short : “Welcome to Canada” has been severely misused by Indian students / and lousy refugee policy of Canada has further undermined legitimacy of Int’l students ..

I’m a Canadian and I agree this liberal government even admitted they didn’t think this many immigrants would come and destroy the economy. Because we were not prepared for it.

NOBODY will listen to her as mexicos crime runs the country. The tail wags the dog. She could have a stronger economy with zero tolerance on crime one region at a time!

Mexicos economy depends on the US so Trump will force those corrupted Mexican losers to comply very quickly.

It's such a pity that this Liberal Govt just hiked up taxes, squandered taxpayers money on useless contracts, smothered Canada's potential, choked the economy, promoted a high crime rate whilst letting its citizens die of fentanyl overdose. This Govt failed our country big time.

We should stop ALL IMMIGRATION or cut at least 90% in Canada. Not only for the USA, but because of our own economy, housing market, high unemployment, deficit.

Everything is wrong with Canadas economy

Ilegal immigrants Slowly are destroying American culture. They are bringing the same third-world problems, crimes, and language into America. If you want to go to America you must to apply a visa, documents. Also, if you think mass deportation could affect the economy, simply create more seasonal visas, allow students — including those in English language programs — to work part-time, and issue more visas for documented individuals who are not criminals with not proper documentation..

The commies have taken over. Total censorship, denial of right to be able to keep govt from enslaving citizenry, ruination of the economy, mind control by a committee of nutters, demonizing white people n Christians n men. These are reason y.

India is a fast-growing, democratic and diverse economy. I think staying in India may be a better alternative than going to Canada.

I’ve held my tongue on this long enough, but the writing’s on the wall — Canada is cooked.\n\nOur finance minister calls it a “vibecession”, as if we’re imagining the economy sputtering. But here’s the reality: GDP growth at 0.1%, per capita GDP down 0.5%, and youth unemployment at 13.5%.\n\nThere’s the recent bait-and-switch $250 stimulus cheque — an ill-disguised vote buying grift. It was scrapped when the government realized it would add $4.6 billion to an already projected $60 billion deficit. \n\nThrow in a two-month sales tax holiday announced without thinking about the logistics, leaving businesses scrambling. Some aren’t even participating because it’s not worth the headache.\n\nHousing starts are at a 10-year low, the housing accelerator fund has delivered zero new homes, housing prices have left wage growth in the dust, and immigration has blown past what our infrastructure can handle. \n\nMeanwhile, the CBSA isn’t bothering to track expired international student visas. After all, someone has to keep the for-profit diploma mills thriving and the service industry fully staffed.\n\nCanada Post is falling apart under strikes, crippling small businesses, and 47% of job growth in the last five years has come from the public sector while our capital markets and innovation stagnate. \n\nThe $CAD is currently plummeting against the $USD, as the Bank of Canada scrambles to firefight the government’s incompetence with two jumbo 0.5% interest rate cuts.\n\nAnd let’s not ignore the trade war brewing with our historical ally, the U.S.. Trump has made it clear he’ll punish our abysmal border policies, which have allowed fentanyl to flood into America unchecked, with a 25% tariff on Canadian exports.\n\nIf you’re trying to get ahead — building jobs, working for yourself, pooling capital to invest, why bother?— the proposed 66% capital gains inclusion rate over $250,000 punishes you for taking risks and succeeding.\n\nAsk yourself: are you happy with the state of Canada right now? Honestly. Because it doesn’t feel like the same country I grew up in, went to school in, worked in, served in, and built a business in.\n\nI’m done. For once in my life, I don’t want to be Canadian anymore.

Trump is gonna fuck the economy more

India is fast growing economy in the world indian should go back to there motherland

Proof that gringos do not respect Mexicans at all… that’s fine, hit the economy in the belt and relate to inflations! I hope Trump puts those Tariffs in motion! These prices are not going down! Be realistic.

Landlords monopoly is the cause of housing \nImmigration is hard on Canadian economy

So about the economy how long is it going to take you to get these working migrants that will hear illegally out so that we can get our jobs back back and paid what we isa are worth

Kanada 51st Provice of America..India 3rd Biggest Economy...Period!!!!

I think if he makes Canada and Mexico states this can stimulate the economy even more, this equals to more people traveling and spending money in USA. Trump is a good negotiator and good businessman, we need someone like that in the world, and Claudia is also a good negotiator as well, she can get paid too... We need some gold to build the Temple of God and USA has plenty of Gold, trading would bring this about... And he can negociate with other countries and of course, Mexico gov't and his Gov't would get paid too, for his work and services that sounds fair, and our people would get what they desire as well,as long as it is a good desire stipulated in psalm 37 and everyone involved wins...

IF TRUMP LIVE TO BE ONE HUNDRED YEAR'S OLD. MIGRANTS, HISPANICS WILL STILL BE IN AMERICA\n FACT'S THEY ARE ESSENTIAL AND EXTRAORDINARY TO OUR ECONOMY. MOST OF THEM ARE GOOD PEOPLE. I BLACKK AND I LOVE THEIR UNITY AND LOVE FOR EACH OTHER AND THEIR FAMILY ORIENTATION. ?

Are you kidding me. Are you not in Canada right now. Canada is now the most poor country in the World. Immigration has gone to the roof. No housing. Rents and forget about buying a house in BC, AB, Quebec, Ontario. High unemployment, Inflation is high and going up more. We also do not have a military defense system and the U.S. is tired of Canada not spending money to meet their responsibility as a Nato country. Many Canadians are leaving the country permanent. Investors and businesses are pulling out. Canada is trillions in debt but keep printing more money (toilet paper). Canada has gone downhill significantly over the past ten years. Born Canadians and legit immigrants having to go through a rigorous immigration process are very unhappy and cause conflict. Besides all the different ethnicities cause unrest and are ungrateful, daring the burn the Canadian flag, uttering death to Canada, death the US and Israel. These trouble makers have not intentions to assimilate into Canada's culture and are disrespectful to the Canadian government and it's citizens. Our youth are very unhappy and do not see a future for themselves yet have to work very hard and pay unbelievable high taxes. The minimum wages are only 15 bucks an hour which cannot sustain life here in this country. Please stop making false promises to foreigners to come here and be disappointed. This is not a country of milk and honey any longer but poor and enormous homelessness. Hunger, terrible health care, incredible post secondary tuitions and books. Now that president Trump has won the election he is going to place tariffs on Canadian goods and rightfully so. Russia is very interested in the Antarctica and should they or anyone invade Canada we got 3 days of ammunition. The food in AB is very bad for your health. Everything has pesticides, hormones, and by the time fruit and vegies arrive here from the US all the nutrition have gone. A extremely high cancer rate, young and old, diabetes, depression and other mental disorders are rampant. Our children and grandchildren do not have a future so why bother going to school or work. Our kids live on the streets, shelters, camping in the woods and using fentanyl and meth all kinds of dangerous drugs. The cities and small towns are full of used needles, pipes, and more paraphelia just thrown on the trails everywhere. The US will not assist Canada when a possible War 3 will occur, and we the people of Canada and the land are easy prey. If you do not believe me, just come visit RED Deer shelters and walk around on the trails, go to Vancouver but becareful because random assaults are happening every day, people living in tents, using the streets as toilets, drugs galore, even the police is unable to act nor arrest criminal activities caused by desperate people who need to survive. Canada's economy is about to collapse and fall into a recession. We have too many people coming in our country without checking their back ground and many criminals and terrorist groups are entering declaring refugee status whether it is true or not, we do not know. The people of Canada who work and pay highest taxes are used to house these newcomers and education, jobs, food and money. Our government take better care of these illegal people than their own people especially our youth. So please let us not pretend Canada is a land of opportunity and great. We have to vote for the right leader who will have a very difficult time and challenges to overcome if at all possible and make Canada Great Again!

There is also a immigration problem in Canada, specially from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh Slums/villages.\n\n1 minor issue people don't highlight, indo-pak immigrants are working as slaves and for penny's which have made employers happy, But deserving employees empty pocket to tackle the staggering inflation and economy.

Hundreds of thousands of Punjabi IS just take up courses that are utterly useless to the Canadian economy hoping to get an easy way into the PR pool, which is lame

maybe instead of sending your pay cheques to India you could have planned a little better. Its not up to Canada to feed your birth country family, India is set to be the 5th largest economy on the planet this year, go home and be part of that, be happy,

They all work for cash do not pay taxes or contribute dime to Canadians economy instead stealing Canadians youth jobs go to the food banks 7 times a week drive brand new BMW send money back home. 25 students living in basements apt smell like curry

Figures they are in Brampton. One of the top 10 worse places to live. One guy said he supports his family so he therefore sends money overseas and limits support of the economy here. Stop ruining this country. You have done enough damage already.

Come election time Canadians let's remember to put the pressure on poilevre because this one issue solves so many issues, the economy, healthcare strain, housing crisis. We don't have room at our own table. They've ruined our country. So guys we know what's worth voting for. Mass deportation.

Why are we Indians going to Canada for a job?? Viswaguru made india a superpower. We are now the fifth largest economy... then why?? Ask our government first..

Vancouver resident here - I live a couple blocks away from a college, and can confirm that the student populace not only exploded but is almost exclusively Indian and it wasn’t gradual. \n\nPersonally, this seems to be the most egregious of it because aside from the sheer numbers, they don’t seem to be making the area any less safe or being a nuisance. And at those numbers, they patronize nearby businesses, helping the local economy. Can’t complain about that.\n\nHome prices have been out of control for decades, and so have hospital wait times - these are Canadian problems for which the Indians are merely a recent contributor (if at all). \n\nThe issues Canadians are facing from the influx of Indian seeking education and/or PR’s are under the jurisdiction of Canada’s Trudeau government - a group that is facing deep criticism amongst Canadians. They are now trying to placate us by walking back over the Indians they welcomed here in the first place. \n\nAnd that action subsequently (though not intentionally) gives justification for Canada’s most deplorable citizens to place blame on said Indians and discriminate freely. \n\nHaving said that, the main issue Vancouver locals have that is that (once again due to the Trudeau government) we seem to have imported a violent form of Indian politics that cause blood to be spilled on our streets - I don’t know the details between the sides, just want that sh!t shut down. I would love to see the Canadian and Indian governments cooperate to remove violent activists from our streets.

nobody leaves canada, they just go into the underground economy, there is nobody to monitor whether they leave

canadian companioes ko indina mein ban kardoo. khud bhuke marnegeeee itni badi economy nahi hai trumo vaha se mambooo dega yaha se apne bhi bahar karoo jiti canadian comaneis hai, apne ap akal ayegi.

Why TF are they coming to the US? They've already fled their country to go to the West. Canada is the West. They can stay there. We have a tough economy as well. Get out!!!!!

Let's get real here, these international students do not contribute significantly at all to Canada's economy. They are a drain on food banks that locals need for survival. They are a drain on our economy because 90% of them are sending most of their paycheques back to family in India. They are taking jobs away from young Canadians trying to enter the job market while Canada's unemployment rate is high right across the country. The schools mostly are fraudulent diploma mills that are not providing any real world job skills that are useful to Canada or Canadians and 90% of Indian international students who enroll in these colleges do not even attend. They come only to work for dollars and send money back to India. Meanwhile the cost of living is extremely high due to the housing shortage caused by excessive Indian International students. It should be very clear now, Canada and Canadians want all these Indians to leave Canada and return to India as stated in the temporary resident visa. If not they will be cut off and deported also incurring a 5 to 10 year ban from Canada.

about time Canada is unstable and the economy is in a recession.

Canada should have built new cities and financial centres like BKC, GIFT city etc using demand from Indians. Canada ?? needs young people to sustain demand and consumer spending which supports Canadian economy.

I'm doing just fine in Canada, where I've lived my whole life except for 7 years in Japan. Any difficulties people having comes down to the individual, not a systematic national problem. My rent in Vancouver is under $1000, because I haven't moved in 11 years. I have no debt, no car, no expensive lifestyle, no drug habit. I made good choices. Others have not.\n\nCanada is still a land of opportunity if you get a job, get your vaccines, live within your means and don't expect a 1950s style economy, anyone can do fine. Healthcare access needs improvement, but we had a pandemic. The whole world did. \n\nIf you feel like you can't make it in Canada, you have no one to blame but yourself. Everything is relative. And we are living in the safest, cleanest, most stable times ever. Certainly not the cheapest.\n\nCheers - an NDP/Liberal serial voter (and big believer in personal responsibility)

canada's economy is a housing bubble that is powered by uber drivers, VERY SUSTAINABLE

Pajeet: we're 5th largest economy saar!! We love our country saar!\nAlso pajeet: Begging for low paying jobs for living

I’m an international student, from my perspective it seems like the government can’t keep themselves from messing with the economy, basically crippling it by regulations, making the market unable to take advantage of the increased labor supply.\n\nI have spent almost half a million in Canada, which includes tuition, living cost, and starting a business which now employs two Canadians. But because I spent one term as a part time student, I have became ineligible for PGWP, which means I have no way of staying in Canada through my own agencies.\n\nThat is a slap in the face for immigrants whove come here to settle, the fact that I have positively contributed to the Canadian economy than many Canadians ever have, while withdrawing absolutely zero from public benefits, now if I buy a house here yall will drop on me a 50%+ capital gains tax and then kick me out, why would anyone want to invest in Canada? I’m seriously considering just moving to Florida because of all these. \n\nWhat happened to the good old days when you can come here with nothing, integrate into the community, and then become Canadians? Almost none of the forefathers of Canadians had to contribute this much into the society first to become Canadians, they stayed because their peers wanted them to stay, and the market was free to adjust to the labor supply and housing demand without government interference.\n\nWhat I see is not an immigration problem, it’s a big government problem, Canadians have become addicted to the government making decisions for them. The government has its grip on every aspect of Canadian life, it has hindered the responsiveness of the economy so much, that it cant even pivot to take advantage of free capital (int’l students) and third world labor rates (temp foreign workers).

Modi said India economy good why never help this people

I would not speak to her either. She has no clue as to how important the immigrants are to our economy

Why Indians are looking for refuge in other countries,, as per modi he will make the Indian economy to 3rd largest in the world ??

looking at all the canadians you guys really should join the USA we can help u guys while you can keep your culture with more autonomy we a similar culturally we have a strong stable economy and the healthcare were working on it

The standard of living is far too low here, the land of no opportunity. I have a plan to move to Australia in 2 years, I'm done. Their wages are way higher, they get double the time off per year, they actually have work not the fake labour shortage we advertise here and cost of living is high but not as bad as here. They manage their resources better, diversified their economy more and have set in motion plans to build a ton of new homes now and well into the future. Bye Canada, enjoy your two class society.
