Also, come on ??. You've had months to formulate a response and yet you're sitting back and watching.

Trump is an asset of Vladimir Putin. When you look at who ultimately benefits from all the craziness because of Trump, it’s Putin. He is the benefactor of everything Trump is doing. We knew this a long time ago, he didn’t even want to peacefully transfer power, caused a riotous assault on the US capital, he has now given Putin everything when it comes to Ukraine, made a pathetic adolescent attempt to demonize Zelensky, and yet he still sits as the leader of the most power country in the world. He should be rotting in jail for the rest of his life. He has betrayed everything free democracies stand for.

Believe me, the majority of the American people do not agree with this administration and Trump’s garbage. He is absolutely the worst and dumbest person ever sit in the Oval Office. So we have to suffer this man’s postering and aligning with Putin because some idiotic people believe him. So please punish us, we deserve it.

Thank you Trudeau for not taking trump’s tariffs sitting down, this president is making our country weak! So upsetting

Lol...former POTUS sitting back watching this dumpster fire saying see i told you. they are not speaking out because they want to let it burn only way the voters will see what they have done is to suffer at a macro level. why you are not hearing much form the other party.

we all still sitting here acting like america didnt do 911 and they they are decent human beings.

One thing I know for sure is Putin is sitting in the Kremlin laughing his arse off at us.

You're only defense sit down

RIGHT ON, TRUDEAU! Stick it to that fat, soft, coward sitting in the Whitehouse, surrounded by his broligarchs, yes-men, and sycophantic vice presidents who turn coat to align with MAGA. Vance is as toxic as the Fentanyl that is coming up from Mexico (not down from Canada).

The property taxes or any taxes in Canada are basically flat, Person with 1 home or a tiny home pays property tax, people with mansions and multiple homes also pay a similar rate, and corporations who own hundreds of properties pay almost no tax. Rental income should be a side gig, not your main income. Income tax starts at minimum wage, which is insane, and grows until the upper middle class but after that, people can just get paid in stocks which are not taxed. Canada needs Asset taxes, you can't just sit on a pile of wealth and retire young, you gotta work for your money, otherwise your country will have nothing.

At least Canada has a functioning democracy with sane and reasonable leaders. From where I’m sitting, they are in better shape than the US.

I live in the suburbs of Seattle. I need to win the lotto to move. I'm a sick vet that needs multiple surgeries. I apply for help in my home. All that I get assigned to my house are asylum foreigners that come in to pretend to work....my house is still dirty and they don't help me while I grocery shop...they sit all day SLEEP and play with their cell phones!!! As a vet I'm so close to give em a kick out the door But I just tell them that I have to take a short trip...tell them to go wait in there car till I get back ... I text the agency to tell them to clock out and go home. First time, I told one to leave my house, she SNAPPED on me.

That plaza is at Drew Road, Mississauga \nSecondly, Insurance depends on multiple factors like age, class of license, records, area, car, company.\nThird any driver any can driver any car with its owner present with a valid proof of Insurance.\nFourth parking, 407 and camera tickets does not affect your insurance.\nHouses in cities around GTA costs almost same value.\nLast, visit painted post at Markham road during summers, feel like home, all desi food stalls around and tapri people come regularly just to sit and enjoy the environment.

Glad agents finally busy, usually they sit in parks and harass Americans

Take the trump towers and make them into bed sit appartments for the poor and watch trumps true colors come flailing pathetic temper tantrums ....\nTake the trump towers and make them into bedsit apartments for the poor and watch trumps true colors come flailing pathetic temper tantrums ...?

Why doesn't Holmen just sit and wait for them to get off these busses?! I mean...seems like an easy way to gather a bunch at once! ??‍♀️

I live in nyc getting on the bus and subway is horrible seeing these illegal people dress better than working people sending thier money back to thier countries they get more help than those who live here I worked in a homeless shelter caught a horrible parasite infection which I'm still fighting I can't work welfare refused to help me with rent electric they denied me immediate help gave me 71 dollars every 2 weeks in cash and 290 in foodstamps I can't pay electric with that let alone rent phone internet other bills etc meanwhile these people get iPhones new sneakers clothes thousands in cash upon arriving thousands in foodstamps health insurance etc free rent free everything but I can't get help I had a broken ankle they wouldn't even move to let elderly or disabled sit on busses and subway they disrespect the rules workers people in stores I witnessed for myself

Noone talking about Walter white sitting in the car?

You know how you fix the problem. Anybody harboring in any way or helping in any way should be put in jail for a minimum of 3 months instead of putting the criminal in jail or the illegal, you send them back to Canada. Or Mexico or wherever they came from and the person that tried to help them has to pay by sitting in jail for 3 months or longer. A second offense, 5 years, a third offense life. They'll stop helping at that point

?? these people if they wanted to disappear into America and be American they would have went to towns like Fresno and got a job in Blended in but the fact they went to major city and sit around and accumulate and they're waiting for something to happen so they can all jump on it that makes them a military insurgent

Well, POTUS Trump is going to have to have a sit down with his cabinet in regards to Article II, Section 2, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution. I am talking about declaring MARTIAL LAW in New York. A line was drawn in the sand when a city chose a lawless framing - calling themselves a sanctuary city.\n\nIt would have to be an activation of our entire CONUS forces as New York has 75,000 active police officers, and their National Guard troops to defend their lawless position that is showing to be Anti-Constitutionalist.\n\nIt is time to take action, and this is a last resort. Diplomacy has failed, take over New York by force. These Marxists will have a change of heart when rounds start going down range.

They sit in their finery and do nothing for their brothers and sisters

Use army for all over borders instead they fighting elsewhere or sitting on the asses

Every other military member I am friends with completely agree. Trans people sit on a dead man’s profile don’t do PT and can’t even deploy. They’re useless if it ever comes down to needing to put in work.

In indian 11/2 & 21'2 apartment 10-15 people up-down sleep, share with many, pee or poo use the toilet outside in the field or jungle, they drink cows' pee. In Canada people use the toilet inside and clean it each weekday, no food is thrown outside, and No clothing is dry or washed inside by hand. so indians can't destroy beautiful condos by doing all. The balcony can't filled with food or fill with bad stuff, balconies are for sitting and flowering. Before moving out apartment should be as clean as taken, The Indian left the apartment dirty, and damages with denied all. They're only busy making money not to clean any apartment, In this situation which landlord will accept them to get rent after suffering all the damages. Indians frequently move out without or not respecting the lease term. They never stayed long. Each year, 2-3 - 6 months they left doing all trouble with landlords. Which landlord will rent the frequent flippers with no good credit or references to the flippers?

We are all very luck to be born in a wealthy country people who sit around all day unemployed born in the west you are all very ungrateful slobs

If they don't sit tf down I swear to God...

We we give illegal migrants from Bangladesh, Myanmar aadhar cards and right to vote. Aathithi Devo bayou is our motto. But when a developed country shows the way we sit and criticize the manner in which they are deported,they have spine and think of their country's welfare ,we think of votes

Remember when America used to be made of immigrants that had 2-3 jobs, that worked their asses off to build a dream ? Yeah? Well not anymore… now you come in this country as an entitled fuck, total disregard and disrespect for the police , you start collecting more money than an actual person that goes to work, and you sit all day.

Why are people who came into our country illegally expecting to get on an airplane when there's 104 of them and only a few police officers and airline pilots. I would not have unlocked their cuffs either. Who knows what crimes these people committed. Even if the only crime they committed was coming into the country illegally, don't expect to sit on a plane not shackled.

Mr Harwinder Singh, aren't you glad you are home safe, sitting in your living room, enjoying a home cooked meal, Vs trying to figure out what to do next in the US? You could easily have been misplaced and sent to Guantanamo Bay.

I dont like the indians here either. They cut line in SFO. Asking people if they can seat on bench while other people already sit on it, etc. In tech companies, as you already know, they all came here to become CEOs of all the tech companies. Yes, tbey r good at wat they do and they know which asses to kiss. But i just dont like the way its going in tech companies and im sure all of you know wat im saying.

All your reasonings for Indian not getting visas are invalid or self serving for your Indian middle class Angrezi viewers. \n\nIndia, as U say, in the aggregate is indeed rising. But Indians — both padh and unpadh — have NOT risen and are NOR rising in tandem with India’s rise. \n\nWe see it all the time in places where Indians live in large numbers as in New Jersey, Atlanta, Chicago, the Bay Area… …\n\nMany Indians, even techies with all kinds of information on their finger tips when they sit in front of their computer screens, are unprepared on the local culture, ethos and traditions and history, just because thay have a loooong list buddies and relatives in their e-Rolodex on the day they land here. Their lack of curiosity in the local land is astounding. \n\nSecondly, getting rejected for visa is routine in many countries. They don’t haveto give you ANY reason why they reject your visa, no matter how well placed or well connected you are in India. \n\nIn my own case, I graduated from UC Berkeley, a premier internationally known school with in engineering with a PhD in 1984. Decades ago. \n\nMy education at Berkeley was ENTIRELY on scholarships and fellowships and fee waivers. \n\nMy family was not the so-called urban middle class living in 1, 2, and 3 BHK flats in urban India., or of land lords or of mid level bureaucrats, or judges or in the Indian corporate babudom . \n\nWe were from what is called in the US as working class. In India the terminology would be more offensive, “lower class.” \n\nFor my graduation, I applied for my mother’s visa (my mother, who became a widow at 39, raised us under great difficulties with a meager pension of INR 350. She had not gone to school beyond 5th grade and she had no ancestral property, not even a red brick in her ancestral home. \n\nMy mother’s visitor visa was rejected and to this day — I am in my 70s now — it hurts me that she was not present when I received my PhD at Berkeley, one of the top-rated int’l universities. They rejected her visitor visa probably because she had nothing to show as her assets in her application. \n\nBut later. with me getting a job here as a research engineer in a large corporation, my mother visited the US five times. \n\nNot only that, even my older brother and sister in law got a ten-year multiple entry visitor visa when the came for my daughters wedding. \n\nThe point I am trying to make to your mostly upper middle class internationally well connected viewers is that visas are ALWAYS a privilege, never a right, no matter how well placed and well connected in your home country. And how well versed you are in Angrezi and how good you are in your Angrezi accent, partly British and partly Amreeki. \n\nKollengode S Venkataraman.

Oh yes, and then we are sitting with the chinese that are taking our country over, taking our jobs, apart from the fact that the ANC giving only jobs to the blacks, while whites with the highest qualifications cannot get a job. Governments suck!

I immigrated legally 30 yrs ago , it was difficult with no internet as today & maintain ties with India. The people coming today are disgraceful / disgusting & give us a ver bad name The don’t integrate into society, talk loudly, shout across in stores, spit, sit with legs up in public, now many involved in crime as we see in news media. Come legally. It’s obvious from the clip from which states most are from ?

Paid for by the Democrat party. \n\n\nPeople forcing themselves across another nations sovereign border is the definition of an invasion. \n\nWe finally have a government who doesn’t simply sit back and quietly process them in, and this is what they do. \n\nIllegal is the perfect definition of these people.

All Bangaladeshi , Myanmar Tohinghya Muslims who are sitting in India ILLEGALLY to be SENT OUT 101%...

Sit your confused ass down

CNN just doesn't get it lol. and they sit here looking stupid wondering why the democrats lost

Trump says EU tariffs will ‘definitely happen’ as Mexico, Canada and China retaliate \nTrump takes softer line on UK, saying ‘I think that one can be worked out’, while Mexico and Canada vow levies and to strengthen ties with each other \n \nPhilip Wen, Léonie Chao-Fong and agencies \nMon 3 Feb 2025 03.57 GMT \nShare \nDonald Trump has threatened to widen the scope of his trade tariffs, repeating his warning that the European Union – and potentially the UK – will face levies, even as he conceded that Americans could bear some of the economic brunt of a nascent global trade war. \n \nIt comes as Trump’s tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China, announced on Saturday, sparked retaliation from all three countries. Mexico and Canada have vowed levies of their own while China and Canada are seeking legal challenges. \n \nTrump said on Sunday night that new tariffs on the EU will “definitely happen”, repeating previous complaints about the large US trade deficit with the bloc and his desire for Europe to import more American cars and agricultural products. \n \nEmpty shelves remain with signs ''Buy Canadian Instead'' after the top five US liquor brands were removed from sale at a British Columbia liquor store in Vancouver. \nAsian sharemarkets tumble in response to Trump tariffs \nRead more \n“It will definitely happen with the European Union, I can tell you that,” he told reporters. “I wouldn’t say there’s a timeline but it’s going to be pretty soon.” \n \nTrump appeared to take a softer line on the UK, citing a good relationship with prime minister Keir Starmer while saying tariffs still “might happen”. “The UK is out of line but I’m sure that one, I think that one can be worked out,” he said. \n \n“Well Prime Minister Starmer’s been very nice, we’ve had a couple of meetings, we’ve had numerous phone calls, we’re getting along very well, we’ll see whether or not we can balance out our budget.” \n \nIn Canada, the department of finance published a list of US products imported into Canada that it will target with a 25% retaliatory tariff starting on Tuesday. \n \nThe list shows products that will be hit in the first round of retaliatory tariffs by Canada starting on Tuesday, and mounts to $30bn Canadian dollars’ worth of goods (about US$20bn). The impacted products include tobacco, produce, household appliances, firearms and military gear. \n \nCanada is also preparing for a second, broader round of retaliatory tariffs in 21 days that will target an additional C$125bn (US$86bn) worth of US imports. The second list would include passenger vehicles, trucks, steel and aluminum products, certain fruits and vegetables, beef, pork, dairy products and more. \n \nFILES-US-CANADA-MEXICO-CHINA-TRADE-TARIFFS<br>(FILES) US President Donald Trump speaks to the press after signing an executive order in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC on January 31, 2025. Trump is imposing steep tariffs on major US trading partners Canada, Mexico and China, with a lower rate on Canadian energy imports, said the White House on February 1, 2025. Washington will impose a 25 percent levy on imports from Canada and Mexico, with a 10 percent rate on Canadian energy resources, until both work with the United States on drug trafficking and immigration. Goods from China, said the White House, would face 10 percent tariffs.

Sheinbaum, in a statement on Sunday, said she will announce details on her government’s “plan B” as she insisted that Mexico “doesn’t want confrontation”. \n \n“Problems are not addressed by imposing tariffs, but with talks and dialogue,” she said. “Sovereignty is not negotiable: coordination yes, subordination no.” \n \n'Coordination yes, subordination no': Mexican president responds to Trump's tariffs – video \nSheinbaum and Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau spoke by phone on Saturday after Trump’s administration imposed the new tariffs – 25% on goods from Canada and Mexico, with a lower rate of 10% for Canadian oil, and 10% on imports from China. \n \nTrudeau’s office said in a statement that Canada and Mexico agreed “to enhance the strong bilateral relations” between their countries. Canadian officials have had extensive dialogue with their Mexican counterparts, but a senior Canadian official said he would not go as far as to say the tariff responses were coordinated. \n \n“Now is the time to choose products made right here in Canada,” Trudeau posted Sunday on X. “Check the labels. Let’s do our part. Wherever we can, choose Canada.” \n \nTrump acknowledged the sweeping tariffs he has imposed on Mexico, Canada and China may cause “short term” pain for Americans as global markets reflected concerns the levies could undermine growth and reignite inflation. Asian markets, cryptocurrencies and US and European stock futures slumped in early Asian trading on Monday. \n \n“We may have short term some little pain, and people understand that. But long term, the United States has been ripped off by virtually every country in the world,” he said. day, Trudeau said: “We’re certainly not looking to escalate, but we will stand up for Canada.” However on Sunday evening, a senior government official from Canada briefing reporters in Ottowa on condition of anonymity said: “We will obviously pursue the legal recourse that we believe we have through the agreements that we share with the United States.” \n \nThe official said the Canadian government considered the move by Trump illegal and said it violates the trade commitments between the two countries under their free trade agreement and under the World Trade Organization. \n \n“If other legal avenues are available to us, they will be considered as well,” the official said. \n \nCanada is the largest export market for 36 states, and Mexico is the largest trading partner of the US. \n \nCanada and Mexico ordered the tariffs despite Trump’s further threat to increase the duties charged if retaliatory levies are placed on US goods. \n \nChina also said it would file a lawsuit against the tariffs. The imposition of tariffs by the US “seriously violates” World Trade Organization (WTO) rules, China’s commerce ministry said in a statement, urging the US to “engage in frank dialogue and strengthen cooperation”. \n \nFiling a lawsuit with the WTO would be a largely symbolic move that Beijing has also taken against tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles by the EU. \n \nThe commerce ministry also said the tariffs were “not only unhelpful in solving the US’s own problems, but also undermine normal economic and trade cooperation”. China has said it would take countermeasures to “safeguard its own rights and interests”. It is not clear exactly what form these will take yet. But for weeks Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning has said Beijing believes there is no winner in a trade war. \n \nLate Sunday night, Trump said he would speak with Trudeau on Monday morning and shortly after said he would speak with Mexico as well, although he did not specify that he would speak with Sheinbaum. \n \nBeyond the official response, people were already thinking of ways to cope with Trump’s decision, including by sharing suggestions on social media for alternatives to US products. \n \nCanadian hockey fans booed the US national anthem on Saturday night at two National Hockey League games.

(Frank Gunn/The Canadian Press via AP) \nToronto Raptors fans boo US national anthem after Donald Trump tariffs \nRead more \nOne fan at the Raptors game chose to sit during the anthem while wearing a Canada hat. Joseph Chua, who works as an importer, said he expects to feel the tariffs “pretty directly”. “I’ve always stood during both anthems. I’ve taken my hat off to show respect to the American national anthem, but today we’re feeling a little bitter about things,” he said, adding that he will start to avoid buying US products. \n \nIn the streets, people in Mexico were trying to absorb the announcement on Sunday, although some in the capital acknowledged that they were unaware of the measures. \n \nIn the border city of Mexicali, across from Calexico, California, some people were concerned about the wider implications of a trade war. \n \nDriver Alejandro Acosta says that he crosses the border weekly in his truck to deliver vegetables to US companies. He said he fears US businesses in the Mexicali Valley will no longer want to operate in Mexico and they will move to the US. \n \n“If they raise taxes on the factories here, jobs may also decrease,” he said.

Long term solution for Canada will be to make alliance with Russia, India and China, which are the future. \nHaving Russia, across the Arctic, will help increase trade with Russia and India and China through it. \nLet USA worry about having Russia and China sitting at its whole Northern border.

Unfortunate that Trudeau seems to think that targeting Republican states will improve things. Better to just sit back and let Trumps tariffs do the harm to the US consumer that they will do.

Just sitting here enjoying my coffee ☕️ ??

With billionaires sitting right behind him, he doesn't care what happens to the American people.\nHis version of reality will be forced on us all.

If Americans are laughing or proud about their president I hope they understand that those sentiments might change drastically. It's not a threat by any means, I am all for pacific means to resolve conflicts but if push comes to shove and sovereignty has been flirted as leverage, Americans should realize that they cannot sit happy and still.

These people are perfectly capable of working in their own country. \nLeaving it to sit on their a$$ here and get free stuff. \nI wonder who is getting left behind in a country with no workers. How fast these countries are going to fail without a capable but unwilling workforce. \nEconomic failure is coming.

Yes the Somalians or Eritreans are not interested in coming for jobs even, InFrance UK and Sweden especially they like to come and sit on our welfare an live for free! And same goes for the US. They are the most unemployable people on earth. Yet your Democrat party made one from the deserta a Senator!

Isn't it ironic that Elon likes ketamine, which is an opioid just like fentanyl but trump is punishing Mexico, Canada and China when they demand guy sits beside him. Is that not hypocrisy.

A lot of Canadians seem to want a trade war. When Americans heard that the truckers had gone to the capital Ottawa they were shocked,...mostly to learn that Ottawa was the capital of Canada. Do Canadians really think that most Americans sit up at night worrying what Castro's son will do?

Best idea Trump has ever had every person I met in the army who transitioned literally did 4 years of sitting in the barracks because they couldn't be medically combat ready! Thats a fact they took taxpayer money and didn't do shit! Just because one person did it doesn't mean they all are!
