We love the good people of Canada and can’t wait to welcome them as the 51st State.\n\nThe tariffs are meant to crack down on Chinese exports moving through Canada and Mexico as middle men to avoid their own tariffs. Had both Canada and Mexico regulated the terms of our agreements better on “product origin” then none of us would be in this position. Furthermore, China smuggles drugs through both Canada and Mexico using resins that are chemically embedded with synthetic drugs. So, neither Canada nor Mexico should be climbing on any high horses when their exports are killing our people.

All this chaos just so billionaires can avoid paying even more tax.

As a Canadian I'm doing my part and quite a few people I know are also doing this . We are avoiding buying anything from the U.S . And ive also seen big red labels on products now that say made in Canada.

Millionaires and billionaires and the politicians they’ve bought have spent the last 50 years fighting to destroy wages, unions, educational system, acces to healthcare and fought to avoid taxes for themselves leaving ordinary Americans with the bill. Trump is continuing this but more openly and loudly than ever before for all to see. What we in the rest of the western world see as basic rights and essential services is in America seen as “communism” \n\nThe consequences of this is that Americans are suffering and causing a huge demand for drugs both prescription and illegal drugs.\n\nTariffing Mexico and Canada makes no f sense when the peoblem is America and Americans. For many years USA and Mexico have worked together to combat drugs and cartels, there is no need to put tariffs on them.\n\nDrugs will continue to enter USA as long as there is a demand for it, including Musk and Trump jr. The only ones who can fix this is America itself.

Wonder why they don't want to help with strengthening their borders to avoid the tariff.

Secure your borders and avoid US tariffs. As simple as that. It’s not a rocket science.

Im impartial to this but isnt that what Trump wanted to happen in the first place, want to avoid tariffs? Make them in USA.

As a non-American and non-Canadian, I will collect more Lululemon & other Canadian apparels and buy Canadian and avoid American products until Trump will be gone. Canada please promote your products to other countries.\n\nCanada must promote to other countries and market more, a lot of Canadian Hollywood celebrities can help.

Canada really don't understand the equation, they stand nowhere infront of US. They should better comply with Trump to avoid more tariffs or possible sanctions. US can destroy their economy like Iran or Venezuela. Canada has no partners at the world stage, they never invested. \nIf you want to show strength, first build it. Canada is totally at the mercy of US.

On every corner is a homeless Citizen or a Veteran sleeping on the sidewalk unable to get any sort of assistance, housing is scarce and rent is high, while many working Americans can barely afford to put food on the table, keep the lights on and pay rent?? \nThis is NOT ok. We need to ramp up the border security. What makes them think they can avoid deportation long term?? What makes them think they deserve assistance while our own people are suffering and dying on the streets? Why should we care about immigrants when we can't help our own people??! Make it make sense!! I didn't agree to give illegals a free ride while working my a$$ off while the threat of homelessness or extreme poverty hanging over my head every effing day!!!

And Trump avoided the draft wow what a coward transgender, gay people and illegal aliens have more balls than the cult leader

trying so hard to avoid the word illegal huh?

What to do To be saved \nRomans 10:9-13\n9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.\n11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.\n12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.\n13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.\nJohn 3:5\n“Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.”\nJohn 3:16-17\n16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. \n17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.\nJohn 9:31\n31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.\nActs 8:36-37\n36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? \n37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.\nActs 15:7-11\n7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. \n8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; \n9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. \n10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?\n11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.\nActs 16:31\n“And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” \n1 John 1:9 \n9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.\n1 John 5:6,8\n6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. \n8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.\nRomans 6:23\n23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.\nJude 1:23-25\n23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.\n24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,\n25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.\nRevelation 3:20\n“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.” \n\n@jesuschristsaves392\n?“Dear Heavenly Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen\n\nWedding clothes\nhttps://youtu.be/f2Yx6PDBIpU?si=lLjrNdk-mgj1gfXf

Answer the question!! She avoids it and takes about her achievements instead

Trump is not fit for the presidency. He avoided being in the military; how can he determine if anyone is fit for the military.

If we were a civil united country, our leaders could just tell us what to avoid to create the necessary pressure...

IMMIGRANTS ARE ALREADY REPLACING AMERICAN APPS WITH APPS FROM OUTSIDE THE UNITED\n STATES.\nYRUMP GONNA BROKE US ECONOMY.\nSUCH AS DeepSeek, We are Here and Viber to replace and avoid TRUMP'S PERSECUTION.

I just heard this. What is the motive behind the blockade? Is he liberal, meaning the leader of Colombia? Or are they saying no to international criminals? Why block it? Meaning Columbia. They are citizens of that nation. Feels like they are violating International law...meaning Columbia. Just take them back, and avoid the tariffs Why suffer economically to play politics in a country they don't live in? I question the Columbia's leader's morality. People will suffer, economically. Perhaps, that man needs to step down from his office for breaching international laws regulating international immigration treaties. Step down, being the civilized way, to avoid conflict and misery.

Somehow CNN has avoided mentioning specifics that the set of undocumented migrants sent to Colombia include child rapists, Drug Cartel /violent gang members. Its important to know this ...shambolic reporting CNN

I STRONGLY ADVISE CNN to replace the word TRUMP with the word USA to make it clear that all the chaos and ill will being generated is squarely the responsibility of the country ... United States of America which so blindly and misguidedly elected a bully / fascist/racist/ sexist/narcissist/ corrupt/ convicted felon as its President .... \nCNN, I strongly advise you NOT to glorify TRUMP by mentioning his name a million times on your news.... BLACK OUT his name ..... just replace the word TRUMP with the word USA. \nHope you understand how critical this is....\nplease avoid feeding Trump's hunger for attention......

Trump has become the worlds crazy uncle we cant avoid at family gatherings.

I think if the teriffs were going to be handed down to consumer like they say it will, I don’t think other countries would do anything in their power to avoid them

Previous administrations avoided this hot potato for sometime.... Trump carry this skunk alone = failure. Good luck deporting millions in Asia and Middle East.v

Its a lot safer and quicker to do a fly by drop off to avoid touch down..

You don t come to USA if you don t know where to leave period .It has been like that for years.Normally from the airport you have to fill the adress of who will host you or the person who sponsored you.\nAnd by immigration standard you should not come here to be a charge and take advantage of the welfare system .From the USA ambassy where you postule for a USA visa everything is designed to avoid those kinds of situations .If you dont have a place to stay then ICE has to send you back to where you came .USA has been almost like that for years???.\nIf you cross the border illigaly you have to be detain and expulse automatically.\nSeeking asylum don t mean it as to be in USA only .There are so many countries crossed by those migrants that could and should take them as asylum seekers unless those countries did not sign the asylum seekers international treaty.

Is there any country that he'll avoid going to war with?

I believe they can still sell avoiding tariff by paying some money under the table.. good luck hoping lower groceries price ?

Love to see it, all of it. United States is just one country in dozens in all of the Americas. Absolutely have the right to flee and avoid prosecution but you don’t have the right to pick and choose and make America be the only country you’re willing to go to

I was in the Missouri when i got sick. I drove home and was diagnosed with a brainstem tumour. 10 hr surgery, 4 surgerical teams, icu, wks hospitalization. Months of rehab and homecare. The school even arranged a cab to take my 5 yr old to school. I have seen bills for pts who didn't make it home and had to have surgery in the US before being repatriated back to the icu i worked. It was an eye opener to see what they were charged for a box of kleenex, a catheter, an iv bag etc. I would have lost everything if i had to have surgery in the US. \nMy sister is currently in hosp in the US, and she is getting good care. I drove down last time she was in, and i was impressed by the lovely large CCU bay, but, hey patients are paying for it. She had a fancy postop CABG pillow to splint her chest when she had to coughed. It had a cute surgical heart on it. I am sure it cost $$. In Canada, we give our pts a regular pillow, some iv morphine and tlc when it hurts when they cough, no fancy cartoon pillow, but no bill either lol. She's a senior on medicaid so she's not going into massive debt or dying in her home to avoid going to the hospital.\n \nI have been travelling to the states since 1976 as a young child. I love the states, I have a lot of family there. My dad lived there until his death. My great grandma immigrated and died in Montana. I have never had a negative experience there in over 49 yrs, other than the old lady backed into my parked suv in the hobby lobby lol parking lot l\n\nA big plus in Canada, is paid Maternity/ paternity leaves and also caregiver leave. Your mom has a stroke or child has cancer you can take time off work to care for them with partial pay and not worry about losing your job

It wasn't just about the border, but the border was important. He also wants canada to manage ports and drugs. Also canada needs to meet its 2% commitment to nato. \nThat's how we avoid tariffs

Forgive me for what I'm about to say, but after two years of living here, I've come to a personal observation about Canadian politeness. It's not always as it's described. They'll say sorry, but it doesn't always seem genuine. They'll avoid conflict, but this can lead to a noticeable discordance between their words and actions.

Actually indians should stop travelling to Europe as it is very costly and not cost bearable. The international airport s do not provide drinking water as it is provided at the Indian airport. They charge 4 to 5 Euros for a bottle of water, which we do not know before travel. We should travel to our friendly countries and avoid UK & european countries.

A month ago, I visited a shop called AMR Fruiterie in Montreal, Canada. I asked an Indian lady about the price of a vegetable, but her response was shockingly rude. Since then, I've started avoiding this store and now prefer shopping at Metro. It’s more expensive, but the experience is worth it.

Move to a smaller town to avoid shootings in schools??? Sandy Hook, Newtown, CT. 2020 census just over 27 thousand residents yet 26 shot dead. Just how small of a community would it take to make anyone who isn't naive to feel safe when guns are everywhere in the US? Oh wait, maybe I should check Fox news to see if that was a hoax...\nEDIT - kudos to @xSheravenx for pointing that out first.\nAmerica has to be in the top 10 countries to NOT live in.\nWhat about Americans that don't want to live in the US?\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsNxOFDjlrw

A lot of Indians treat white people really badly. Especially when there is money involved. It’s now extremely common that people here hate dealing with Indians as customers of their business and will go as far as avoid it altogether. They will often relentlessly try to negotiate services, lie and say anything to get get their way, pester businesses until they cave to their demands and even leave bad reviews which they say they will change if you give them a good deal. None of this is the way things are done in Canada and that needs to be respected. Something kind of funny, I’ve heard many people say that Indians will often say they will refer tons of friends and family to a business if you give them an unreasonable discount (which they never do once they’ve gotten what they want), but what they don’t realize is that referring a bunch more Indians to them is the last thing that business wants. And really, some of the discounts they want on things are just ridiculous. When I was selling my car a few years ago, I had it listed for $55,000 and I got bombarded by Indians offering $20,000-$25,000 and every lie under the sun of why that’s all it was worth, other people are saying yes to offers like that for the same car, dealerships are selling them for that much and so on. Like come on. And I guess while I’m at it, I hate to say but it’s a common thing here to walk into a gas station and the smell of body odour just hits you like a brick. I’ve stopped going to 3 different stations because of it. I’m sure there’s some pungent white people out there but damn. This is on a whole other level. It literally fills the entire building.

It's very contradicting to hear that Hindus are the most law-abiding citizens, highly educated, good jobs, helping in their society. And now, I am wondering who these Nepotism ones are using Indian passports and from where the negative accusations are from. Who are the culprits in these cases, and don't forget there is also lots of hate created toward Hindus, their way of life, temples, being headans, not belonging to the abrahamic majority in any of those countries.\nMy sincere advice, don't visit abrahamic countries at all. They have broken, severed, you from your own culture, taught you to be like them, yet they all refuse you like you should not exist, not someone or something like them. Why doesn't anyone just wise up and stay in their own habitat? By the way, so you know, Shiva Ji himself if anyone has read the bhavishya purana, said to us to avoid going in such countries or be with those barbaric asurs and mleccha. But, if you've forgotten those roots, it's only understandable you want to feel belonging within those who despise you already in one or many ways. Like Shrimati Palki said, go only to those few countries for the time being. In the meantime, take very good care of those you love and learn how to protect them in a world that is very hostile against all Hindus, Sanatani's.

Avoid visiting these countries for holidays. Only business & study.

What more India can do to avoid visa rejections:\n\nPut an end to religious intolerance against minorities within the country. The free run of neo-nationalists and cow terrorists should also be stopped. Protests against the hijab and halal meat must be dealt with by law. \n\nNobody will welcome people coming from a country of lawlessness.

Rejection rate for US is 90% particularly in New Delhi consonant, 2nd week dec, i witnessed this all are coming with crying faces, my son cleared for MS study. I feel US is avoiding certain communities, they are,,,,

Why will i want to go Sri lanka or Thailand if i want to explore Europe.Its not that these countries are bad but if i had already visited ds countries now in want to go Norway or New Zealand then?Avoiding countries is not solution making the policies to make our passport should b the solution.

Ma'am, when a country makes it harder for citizens of a particular country to enter their country, it is often because of the number of recorded incidents, crime from people from said country. If there is a higher rate compared to people from other countries, then it becomes harder. Let's be honest here... Indians don't have a good reputation abroad when it comes to such things... I'm half Nigerians and at least many Nigerians acknowledge why lately, it is harder for Nigerians to get a visa (Obv crime as well.) Has nothing to do with discrimination. Also, look at the state of Canada. Nigeria and India need to focus on bettering their citizens so that less people go abroad, which also reduces the chance of certain people doing crime, to avoid making it harder for honest people from the same country to get a visa. Better the countries so that more countries open up for Indians, making the ranking go up. \n\nLastly, the passport index website shows India at 65, not 85. Why lie about that to fit your narrative? The passport index website is literally the first result that shows up on Google too... Not everything is about discrimination...

Well every country have right to refuse visa . Also probably avoiding overcrowding. Nothing wrong .

she avoided mentioning the real reason.. (many visa seeking Indians are actually not out there to spend but running away to those nations from India, and the visa issuing countries have realised it). lots of illegal Indians currently living and working in all the mentioned countries are the main reason for the downgrade in the visa ranking.

Indian news reporting is almost like ccp news - both want to push only good news but life & reality isnt so idealistic if it was there wid b no need for govts ! The purpose of a democracy is to highlight the weaknesses to get those in power per state to be held accountable & correct it to benefit the ppl. Indias education system is deplorable from content ( outdated ) to language skills. As a ex European colony there is english , portuguese & french - the no. Of campuses being built ? In covid sitharaman made a big thing inda budget for correspondence campuses & distance learning what happened ? 1 of indias greatest exports was its intellectual capital many that hold top global posts graduated from iit & others - the indian that saved nokia hails from an indian institute along with so many others on a long list many eirk for spaceX & nasa so the break is obvious & is getting wider as more indians in the lower economic scale aim to make babies like a production factory then expect givt to dole out free food , guaranteed jobs & education etc ! When too much is tsken out for social welfare vs the amt put in - u hve a problem ! A ticking time bomb. In the u.k most billionaires live outside to avoid paying crazy taxes to feed & clothe paki grooming gangs & the royal family & india is heading that way ! A recent report from china observer showed that china has held back on foxconn employees going to india for what ? To teach indians ! Now foxconn has to get taiwanese ppl to go to india to teach staff otherwise it wont meet its targets.

All the advise doesn’t make sense or has no research. Just follow the rule to the full stop and avoid shortcut or assuming things by yourself to have best chance. Stop making people feel victim always. This is not a good messaging.

They spoiled the country, the quality of the grocery has gone down in Walmart, quality of the food have gone down in the restaurants.. I am avoiding the food joints that has Indians..

I mean this is no different than Latinos in the US. Entire cities have become mostly Latino with many people who don’t speak English. White people were already minorities in the cities before that though. Decades ago Blacks had moved to the cities and many Whites moved out to the suburbs to avoid them, and used discriminatory policies to stop the Blacks from following them. I don’t feel sympathy for the Whites though. They are simply going through a much nicer version of what indigenous people went through. There’s no massacres or anything, just a bunch of legal immigrants who don’t speak their language. Whatever guys.

I waited 7 years to bring my wife over here. We have a son and he is an Americsn citizen. My wife sees the degradation of our cities with so many immigrants coming over here and we try to avoid JFK and LAX like the plague. They will end up draining the limited resources that should be for the future child of Americans. My wife doesn't understand why America doesn't take care of it's own.. I agree with her 100 percent.

Get the fuck out of the country. You have destroyed our courtier and avoided the rules. The quality of life is gone for Canada. You wiped out our middle class

Trudeau is gone, maybe Canada will get better, but will most likely have to join as the 51st state to avoid bankruptcy and failure.
