The USA president Trump wants everything to be manufactured and sourced locally from the United States of America. He knows what happened during COVID-19 and what problems the world experienced because of a global supply chain. Now while it doesn't really make sense with Canada who is right next door the Canadians were given the opportunity to integrate into the USA so there could be some motive in that. And why wouldn't they want that anyway? Just remove the Canadian border and everyone becomes the USA. Why not?

Yes, the number two in the Oval Office is Pence, and his words often come across as cheap, bullying tactics. Instead of offering real leadership or thoughtful discussion, he uses language that tries to intimidate and put others down. His approach often feels like he's trying to hold onto power by scaring people, rather than standing on solid ground with strong ideas. This kind of talk may work for some, but it only creates more division and gets in the way of real progress.\nThe biggest mistake was introducing tariffs without any backup plans in place. The bottom 60% of U.S. citizens will likely struggle to make ends meet in less than two years, stuck behind the barriers of these tariffs. The idea that South American countries might step in to help the U.S. seems unrealistic. More likely, the U.S. will find itself isolated, facing political instability—and to put it bluntly, a loss of trust—thanks to an overinflated ego and a sense of entitlement.\nCould the U.S. turn to African countries for their natural resources? It’s possible, but this effort probably won’t be successful. Most African nations, except for those in the Sahel region, are just beginning to recover from the effects of colonialism. Many are now building their own paths and are more likely to align with China’s influence rather than the U.S. Even if the U.S. tries to get resources from Africa, it will likely face challenges from both local resistance and growing competition from China.

Watch the weasel try to squirm out of this one. Nope. Go Trump! Balance the budget. Pay down the debt, and make Americans wealthy and strong (by producing local) again!

Inflation is to the roof, Make food and housing affordable, please people just help impeach him, he is golfing while the american people are struggling everyday.... He is just trying to pass stupid laws that keep getting blocked by courts, Come on Trump supporters try helping fix it by calling your local office and impeach him, I bet anyone else is better than Trump, we know the country needs changes but we are still the biggest economy of the world the richest country, Why do we have to feel like is normal not to have affordable food and housing?? The basics of life... All the immigrants are gone, They even left by their own will, and Some Americans left to other countries, Mexico, Europe, Asia..... What do you guys want?? Having an empty country once was the biggest economy of the world?? Is just crazy even a blind person can see he is destroying the whole country..... He is not even a good business person we all know he didn't payed taxes, he went bankrupt so many times he knows how to scam people, Saying the USA government doesn't work because he feels like it, Just travel people so you can see the difference between usa government and other governments around the world........

This dude's an idiot it's all bull crap everything the United States send to Canada we pay huge fees to sell our products there it's only right that Canadians do the same thing a 25% tariff the United States is still paying more to sell goods in Canada it's only right that Canada pays the 25% tariff as well as everyone else everywhere us products are sold every other country we have huge fees and markups charged to the companies that make them so they can promote local made and goods made within their own country it's only right that the United States does the same thing while our tax dollars go to support the whole world are companies should be able and our government should be able to recoup some of that money through tariffs it's only right I'm all for paying a little bit more money so that our country can recoup some of the money that we spend and send to their countries how many billions of dollars does Canada get from the United States and they're complaining about a little tariff but yet we send billions of dollars to support them

Call your local Utility Company and see what kind of impact the Canadian Power cut off will have on the US.

With this happening hope the federal will have support to our entrepreneurs and have the local products prices affordable.

US When Don Dump crew has sucked you dry, they will just leave you in an endless pile.of.s..t. If you don't come together and stand up consistently, also locally. Hope you free up your calendar before its too late. Join those who bravely already have started. Sometimes Too Late will be TOO LATE. It's time to be so Loud, economically boycott of big cooperate, trillionaire products, as protest, help those who will be shaken etc. \nWe stand with you here in Denmark, that is what we do when injustice happen. Only you can save yourselves in time!! ❤

I cant believe how many people don't realize almost ALL the fentanyl is made locally.. there are no trade routes to stop when people just buy it's legal ingredients online

How has everyone so quickly forgotten the reason for these tariffs. Canada has not stemed the flow of fentanyl. They contuine to poison their own people and ours. We ask them to stop or we impose tarrifs, they say they will stop, then they do not stop. Trudeau is full of bullsh!t go to our northern border in WA or NY and just ask the locals. They see the illegals all the time. They cross the border and then call for help. Its gotten so bad that if you do call to turn yourself in and get a court date, border patrol has a daily wait time of 1 1/2 to 2 hours just to make initial contact. Think about that, what about the criminals and smugglers who dont call.

It seems sad that it took an action such as the one the US government had to do, to make Canada realize that we should work together as provinces and as people. Canada knew very well that our big brother in the south has been fiscally hurting since years and had been racking up enormous government, corporate and private citizen debt. If this were to continue it would pull down every single country in the world. Perhaps if the US is becoming fiscally responsible, truly eliminate fraudulent and unnecessary spending and refocus on their local economy (just like China has been doing in the last years) the rest of the world and even Canada can finally focus on their strength and local markets. After all, don't we all miss our local stores, local artisans, vibrant neighborhoods with diverse businesses and a pride in having made in our own country? May I say that this Trump era will give the whole planet a new perspective for changing our ways, reliance on others and taking the easy and greedy road!

American Citizens, band together your local communities in your districts and states. Take in all the information you can about the decisions our government has made, make it concise and to the point, speak to your voted representatives. Make your promise to un-elect if they don't follow the will of the people. There's nothing stronger than the unity of the United States of America, it's time to prove that we are able to unify again, for real.

To Americans in the comments saying they stand with us: Thank you, but your actions are more effective than a Youtube comment. Contact your local congressperson and make your view on this matter abundantly clear. The only ones who can stop Trump's lunacy are the American people themselves. I don't care if you voted or him or not, support most of what he says, or none of it, you can't support something like this which only hurts both of us, and you should not support your leader becomng Putin's favourite new 'pet.' \n\nGet your heads out of the clouds, look at a map and realize that we've always been right there, a good neighbour that never gives your trouble. Let's be friends again.

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

This video is horrible. I don't know what political angle is, but the real problems are very well known and have nothing to do with what you said. First, housing is incredibly difficult to build in Canada because of regulations and land title problems, I.e., you don't own that land, the indians do. On top of that, there is a constant influx of immigrant that require housing that doesn't exist. Children cry because they cannot leave their parents' houses because they can't move anywhere, so they can't find any jobs locally, and they're trapped. There is no will in the canadian government to change these immigration policies, to change the land rules so that people can own land and build houses, or do anything about their incredibly micro managed economy that makes it impossible to do anything. If so, yeah, they go to the US to have a future while Canada stagnants and dies.

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

I grew up on Vancouver Island and the local government didn’t allow for secondary suites. Then with housing crisis continuing the fact that province had to step in with a carrot and stick approach to municipal governments to approve more housing and change regulations stick being if you don’t meet targets you lose power and carrot you hit the targets you get cash this created a direct opportunity cost of nimbyism plus the federal government would top the amounts if a municipal government hit there housing targets. It changed really quickly the municipal government changed the law to allowing secondary suites to be built which the cost per square foot to build is 1/3 compared to new builds. This allows more rental properties and housing options and allows more people to purchase goods and services in the local area and not dramatically increasing the costs of new infrastructure to service them as compared to a new housing development on the outskirts of the city. A home could comfortably double it’s density every effectively, affordably and swiftly.

Trudeau has been importing Indians in millions which is contributing to rent increase, housing unaffordability, wage stagnation, skyrocketing unemployment. Younger or high school students are finding it hard to find a part time job at local restaurants because all those jobs are occupied by Indians. I guess bring third world, become third world wasn’t so wrong after all.

As someone living in Canada... I actually don't feel much of the things mentioned in the video. Sure, wages are not growing as fast as it can, but as someone who managed to purchase a home *before* the bubble started to expand, I'm living steady right now.\n\nWhat is REALLY causing a large part of the social and economic issues is actually the fact that provinces are NOT expanding new towns and cities in the millions of kilometers that needs to grow. Everyone is moving into cities, including refugees and new immigrants, which is driving up local prices and demand for everything. A few years ago, there were literally news of townships outside of the major cities offering houses and land for $50 per acre if people move to those towns and live there. \n\nCanada's biggest (heh) advantage is how much land it has. It's biggest weakness is how little comparative population it has. The worst problem is the concentration of population in like 6 keys cities throughout the entire country. If more people who complain about housing or social issues were willing to move outside of the major cities, they wouldn't have those problems.

It takes 6.5 years in Vancouver for a real-estate developer to get a building permit approved. The result = housing shortage and housing crisis. The explanation = a mix of elected city officials being incompetent and caving in to pressure from wealthy local residents who don't want their real-estate portfolio value to go down (hence they don't do everything they can to fast track building approvals).

The problem here is that building more houses de-values existing houses. Your parents are the ones lobbying against building your house. Regulations need to be massively reformed (e.g. ignore nimby's), alternatively there should be a framework for constructions projects to financially compensate local property owners for their loss in value. A lot less nimby's would exist if they got $10,000 for the construction of a new block of flats.

There are millions in India who are salivating at the idea of moving into Canada. They could easily flood the local cultures with a majority and seeing how they behave in India it's not something I would wish to see in Canada. Cut it out already!!!

Can you blame them? Keep your freaking culture in India. Blend in with the locals.

Dear Canada,\nI hope you fix the employment problems and stop employers from hiring non-resident under contract for below minimum wage rather than a resident or a local before you start implementing new streams for said non-residents and new immigrants. A lot of you locals are struggling to land employment because of the fact. Employers are taking advantage of this loophole for to lower cost of employments. And it's unfair for us locals and residents. \nIt's just unfair you see, it's not right that employers prioritize non-residents just because they can lowball them and this individuals won't have any issue with or say any word since they are given employment. Employments should be fair. \nThe labor law should have more stricter rules on such things because employers are taking advantage of this very lax rule. And should have a law that supports employees too against abusive employers or employers who just don't care as long as they profit. \n\nSincerely,

Same Playbook the imperialist colonizers always used, cause a major disruption in these countries, take the benefit out of those countries and leave the local populations with massive problems for years and finally look back and say oh my gosh look at how Savage and failed they are... all of this WOW European America are propped up off of the stolen wealth from these nations, insanely hypocritical ?

What I don't understand is how are they getting TO Canada? Are they flying into Canada? Doesn't Canada have immigration and Customs officers at the airports to turn around anyone who doesn't have a visa for entering? Or is Canada granting visas and these people are simply lying and then crossing over into the USA? \n\nI am all for the PRIVATEERS - Bounty hunter option at this point. I also wonder about a FOREIGN NATIONAL HOTLINE sort of like what local police use CRIME STOPPERS where people can call in and get a reward for helping police track identity and capture a criminal.

Follow the money. Find the trail that goes from our DoGED agencies, to other countries, who turn it over to the WEF, who pay people in our country to create chaos....from governors, mayors, senators, congressmen, local officials....AND presidents (Obama & Biden& Clinton).\nBut they can't buy Trump and Musk because they aren't greedy. They made their money successfully the hard way. All the people who whine about others who are rich, are ripe for corruption, bribery, treason.\nBTW Cash, I LOVe your investigative reporting!

stupid people if indians leave no locals will be willing to take up these jobs

Cash I really like your approach on reporting national issues in a local perspective without being biased, emotional and without grafting in personal views. I believe you are highly underrated.

Trump could offer rewards to local people to catch them

long past time for these local politicians that defy federal law to go to jail.

Local more grizzle bears at the northern border.

When the local government breaks the law, local government should go to jail.

USA gives back all jobs to locals & pay ell, these USA people needs monies to live

local hunters should get permits ... so ice can not wait till the buss arrives in nyc and screen them out ..

What do The locals say in NY? Do THEY want these illegals in their city????

So the vast majority if not all of these immigrants are able to find these people smugglers and do business with them to get in the country, but no government and police is able to pin them down and arrest them?\nIs there an explanation to this?\nWhy not realise that these people won't disappear, they're there now. Spend time sorting through those who legitimately want to work and give them a chance and only deport those with bad intentions. They will take the jobs that locals won't do. People are resources...\nThese mass deportations are likely affecting many people which were contributing to the country, while the dangerous ones live underground... Score social media points, but don't solve any problems....

Impressive... Love your transformation to local news. Your doing an amazing job informing Americans. I'm in Calif. But thanks to you. I know what's going on nationally.

I am born and raised in NYC. In Queens many businesses are now suffering with lack of staff and the owners or their family members are now doing the work they’ve been paying immigrants that don’t have their paperwork together to do. It is sad so many people trying to start over and get treated poorly! As a community member it is also annoying having to wait much longer for food or the quality of atmosphere lacking now etc I know something needed to be done in regards to the immigration issue but at the same time it sucks to realize just how many people were being taken advantage of in ALL the local businesses smh. It is definitely a catch 22!

Horrendous invasion, fancy having many locals supporting all this corruption!

If New York still voted for soft on crimes AD Alvin Bragg and AG Letitia James, local far left liberals councillors and legislators….the violent crimes with illegal foreign gangs and criminals threatening the NYC citizens will never change ….LOL!

It still baffles me that legacy media local and national are claiming that these deportations of illegal migrants are bad because they’re “non violent” and haven’t committed crimes. Get them the hell out of here. It’s making it harder or we make it hard harder for people who are trying to come into this country legally. I also like the argument from people saying that now it’s making it harder for employers to find employees. Obviously, it’s mainly coming from legacy media.

I read in the local news about two weeks ago that five individuals were caught trying to cross Maine's northwestern border. Four of them were Indian and one was an Algerian. It's never a good idea to try to cross the border, but an even worse idea to do it during the winter. It's frigid cold up there and they risk frostbite or even freezing to death.

A federal law to force local police to notify ICE whenever a non-citizen gets arrested.

People of NY you must vote this cancer out at state and local levels. VOTE Republican!

PULL ALL FEDERAL FUNDING FROM STATE AND LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES THAT DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE LAW REGARDING ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION LAWS. ??❤️?

Canada gets 40,000 to 80,000 year coming North\nWe tried last 10 years to stop it\n\n&\nMigrants fly to NYC take bus to local town closest to border, & than take can literally right to place where they cross into Canada\n\nNow because Pierre Poilievre is going to win our next election for our Conservative Party\nWho says in his election promises to close the border\n\nAs when one crosses into Canada illegally\n\nThey bypass our immigration & go thru our Court system\n\nUnder present Liberal govt\nAs they wait for court case\n\nSocial Services hooks them up with place to live\nMonthly welfare\n& even employment \n\nSo illegal migrants r going back South as they know when Conservatives win\nDeportations will be enforced like what is happening in U.S right now\n\nSanctuary cities is attracting them back into U.S. \n\nMany Independent Media covered going back to 2015\n\nRebel News\nDid several stories as well as others\n\nSo I guess I can only say\n\nHIW DOES IT FEEL !!\n\nCanada tried & tried to get American border guards to stop on ur end \n\nThis is result of in action by Biden/Trump & Justin Trudeau’s Lii is break govt

Follow the money. Local NGOs & the private sector “service provider” networks are raking in those millions. ALL services provided illegals are funded by local, Federal tax payer funds. For Community non profit agencies, Faith based organizations, advocacy groups Its all about the Benjamins…not about altruistic do gooders. If the vast amounts of money wasn’t available these “Sanctuary Cities & services would disappear. Follow the money. Cut it off. Anyone aiding, abetting illegal alien activities using Fed Funds are violating Federal laws. Shut down these criminal operations. Book em Danno. Perp walk, mug shot em, lock them up. Deport illegal aliens. “No one is above the law”. ~IMHO

These illegals would have a fit if Americans went down to their countries in mass and took over neighborhoods and communities setting up shop and under cutting local businesses.

You keep saying local progressives. Well if the people keep on voting in progressives then you get exactly what you deserve.
