Canada is just a US unofficial state.

This is very surface-level analysis. If you want to dive into why Canada's economy is so uncompetitive you have to look at its constitutional framework. Inter-provincial trade is more difficult in Canada compared to Trade in the states or the EU because NAFTA, and the EU trade agreement are more efficient compared to inter-provincial trade frameworks the senate estimates these barriers cost the economy $150b in GDP per year. By comparison, Australia with a similar constitutional structure to Canada managed to harmonize many of its inter-state/ territory regulations leading to increased GDP growth and has long outperformed the Canadian economy. Furthermore, Canada's indigenous rights framework is far to restrictive in terms of allowing the governments to actually govern. This has cost us billions in FDI in projects tossed out by the courts and projects that will simply never be considered due to political and regulatory risks. \n\nThat said, if Canada wanted to improve this situation without meddling in the constitution one thing they can do is to allow housing to catch up to the population. We have the fewest number of dwelling per capita in the G7 in the highest population growth in the G7. This is a recipe for a housing shortage which ensures that a lot of capital will flow into the housing sector simply because it offers promising returns relative to the risk of operating a business. I believe Canada grew by over 1,000,000 residents in 2022 however we had 240,000 housing starts (4 residents per dwelling) and average house size here is 2.51 residents per dwelling. \n\nThat disconnect between housing starts (see regulatory framework above as to why we can't build enough houses) will just cause more capital to flow to the sectors making the business investment environment worse.

I think the biggest thing you have wrong in the video is that you don’t take into consideration our population size. Literally by sheer numbers most of the stats you state are not really important

East Africans are pouring in also. So many flooding New England states

What are we going to do with all these people? We cannot afford this any longer. Take care of our vets. Take care of our homeless stop people from coming into the United States.

What we need is to disband the Department of Homeland Security, and then to roll up the Border Patrol,Customs and Border Protection, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement with the United States Coast Guard into a new Armed Forces branch that I'd call the United States Border Guard, which would have military jurisdiction over the borders, the coastlines and the airports.

Foreign interests from the U.S. has deteriorated the economy here, and everyone is so busy trying to live that no one has the time to point it out. And so much of our country is propped up by the states ON PURPOSE so that the states can basically claim us. It's tiring.

Go to the States for an extra 20k/yr? No thanks. I'll stay where my children aren't stulidly likely to be shot and murdered at school, tyvm. ❤??

How come every other country can use extreme force to keep this from happening, but the United States can’t??? B!tch @ss Biden

As a Canadian myself living in this country for over 30 years... the problem here is that Canada have a diversed industry but because the country itself is so small (population wise) that none of these industries reached economies of scale. While Canada has regions rich with natural resources, all they do is extracted it, sell it to U.S. and then buy the producted that was produced by these raw materials back at a higher cost. The political structure of Canada doesn't help either: Each region essencially specialized in a few industries (Alberta Oil, Ontario Finance, the Alantic provice's fisheries and oil refineries) and there's equalization payment... meaning if one province is doing well... they don't get to reinvest it back into its infrastructure but rather have to spread some of the excess revenue to other failing provinces... this doesn't incentized productivity but rather leads to a race to the bottom where provinces would want to spend their way to get some of that equalization payment money. Also the provinces themselves doesn't have a unifying economic agenda... Alberta's oil could be best served to be refined out east and then shipped but British Columbia doesn't want pipelines and oil shipping facilities on their coastline... and Quebec isn't interested in having a pipeline either so there's nowhere by the oil but to go down to the states. Finally the province of Quebec( which is french speaking and have their own culture and language) isn't interested in the overall prosperity of Canada at all but rather to extract as much special privilages, rights, and money from the Federal government... and even to declare independance from the Rest of Canada.

Close down the borders/halt immigration from Mexico downward s.america! America needs to help its citizens 1st. But we really need all new elected officials from city state national!

Are problem is free trade that's it final we need to tell the states to worry about them selfs

For all of these fellow “Americans” the United States was built on literal immigrants. Where would your racist ass be now if people from all over the world hadn’t traveled to the US for a better chance at a life full of opportunity all those years ago?

i really dont get it. things are way worse in the states tbh

People don’t realize that these people are running to America thinking it’s better than home. \n\nAll Americans know how corrupt our own government is, so just imagine how corrupt theirs must be if their willing to take a risk here in the states instead.

Yelp UNITED STATES ?? NEEDS TAKE OVER MEXICO ?? & GET ALL THIER CORRUPT GOVERNMENT OUT !!! THIS WAY THEY GET THIER LAND BACK ...WILL JUST HAFE BABYSIT MEXICO ONCE WE TAKE IT OVER . ...IMEAN YOU KNOW WE HAVE \n?POWER DO IT¡¡¡ SO YEAH THATS MY SUGGESTING ¿¿¿???

I don't think Canada has States they have provinces

Good news. I like watching USA suffer.. Serves them right for getting their nose involved in the world's business.. America sent troops to Yemen within 48 hours but have turned a blind eye on the illegal terror state Israel for decades..

An ideal United states would let them in with open arms because that's how this country started. But the United States isn't ideal right now and we need to fix ourselves 1st before we let more people in like this.

If I was united states I would take their country I gave them jobs at minimum wages

We need our country back....all the way to Colorado / Wyoming state line!!!

All these comments about being homeless and closing the borders. ????? Really amazing how people DO NOT REALIZE what is really happening in our countries' government. ( Meaning all countries' governments). ❤️??. I mean the United States government isn't any better. Oh yeah the U.S. government gives us money so we should be good. In the meantime our human rights are being disrespected by police themselves (government) most of the time

Canada ane ke baad ka proceedure bhi btaado plz... Ake kaha rahe... Job kaise dhoonde. Which state is good

Im canadian and to be fair our countrys been fastly turning in to a Chinese communism state.\nWe can't aford to live here or eat or drive and our laws are very bad. If somebody breaks in to my house and i hurt them i could go to jail and he can win a lawsuit.\nIt happens alot

This breaks my heart, im half mexican and i want to help my people but also realize whats going on in the states.

You are watching the takedown of the United States .. the powers that be know EXACTLY what they are doing. Wake up Americans!! Pray and repent and ask God to help us..

If América don't stop this and keep accepting this total of immigrants, I'm afraid that America will feel in so much pressure that will do the same thing that President Putin have done with Ukraine. But if we see the full picture of this events, it seens like out there there is a Unites State enemy who is using the brain ? on using this poor people are destructive weapon, motivating them to come, not to help this People, but to bring more cause in the economy of A.erica dn pudding our own people against our self. Think about it! This is not normal, if we can't how much immigrants have already came, we are talking about million of immigrants. What are they go to eat, drink !? Is very simple ! From our own farmers and grocery food. Hunger is the greatest enemy of human kin. When that comes, be aware that this country knows as a great country, will comes in a great disaster.

I don’t understand why they do this to Mexicans Mexico is part of the United States

This is all the united states fault. You go into a country and destabilize it and cause a civil war to weaken them to steal their resources then refuse to take in the innocent victims of the mayhem you caused... then want to spin it saying we have a problem at our southern border... people are waking up to the united States bullshit

I think it should be investigated in the past and present in terms of political impartiality and credibility whether CNN was informed and deliberately withheld from the people the now-known state structures.

I actually feel sorry for the migrants it when I come to the United States but they have to abide by the laws and our regulations

This isn't the United States border with Mexico

Tryng to justified invasion when they rob Texas and other states from us..

Put guns in the border patrols hands and those people will back up, especially if a few got shot. Then they will know the United States mean business.

Blame USA it’s a failed state

Reality. Really. Maga right. Let's see unemployment numbers down nation wide since Trump took office. Foreclosures another all time low. Employment is up. Programs that Trump and his republican mates took away to help now not only back in firm place but helping Americans who weren't wealthy and paying for it are now successfully employed, own their homes and contribute fairly with appropriate taxes. People can't find housing??? Programs are out there for those who had foreclosure on them because of Trump's unyielding to constantly tax those not making six digits. Also our country lost over one million innocent men,women, children and infants because Trump REFUSED to acknowledge COVID. Care to speculate how many of them were republicans thinking how could I of believed him??? One father stated after burying his wife who died from it said this. We believed him then my wife of fifty years contracted it and died quickly and our kids who like us who believed him were told had this been taken seriously in the beginning it would of never become this severe. They became democrats.

They're getting through the states and showing up at our borders all the way up north here in Canada. Wtf is going on down there lol.

Trump created this crap and onces they gets rid of Biden and the boarder will gets SHUTDOWN and migrants will be in united states as well and the boarder will not last long

Those people destroyed their own Countries by voting stupidly for corrupt politicians in their 3rd world countries & they are coming to do same in America & keep voting for corrupt Democrats & create A ONE PARTY STATE IN AMERICA. Immigrants & refugees are not good for western civilization, they bring violent crime, drugs, gangs, scammers, murderers, terrorists & MS-13 gangs. They aren’t running from the gangs they are gang members themselves & drug traffickers.

I'm personally getting sick and tired of the Canadian geese flying into the United States. They're clearly out of their territory they need to be deported back.

Why does all these foreigners think it’s sweet in the United States?Theres enough African and Spanish that they out number the Americns

No we can tell you what happened with member that basketball that they nicely they did it was their marketing guy then the next thing they know they got hit over the floods hurricanes and earthquakes and stuff. Yeah see when you go around marking identity a god guess what you brought that on yourself period you getting high but statue of God looking over your whole country and then you sit up there and mark them send it you gonna start wishing it doesn't and this what God took his words very seriously period now wipe it to all those people they start pushing up now everybody want to start coming through. I have no issues with Venezuela. But at some point you have to be able to rise up and guess whatever tyranny your government is doing. But due to the United States and Venezuela have a history. And we have caused some some other time damages that's done in Venezuela. If you need to assist not take over where the people is more comfortable notice I said the people not the government cuz we shouldn't be taking over the government what happened to people people the people themselves can re-establish the government how they wanted to be what best fit them

The saddest thing is we are see governments becoming more and more repressive everywhere - including in the United States of America.

This is truly sad and disgusting We are going through a lot With our own citizens That there’s so much people losing everything But all these people want to come to United States By forced Wail Americans are suffering Who cares about us Not this evil toxic president or the government What about us There’s nothing for us But paying for something we didn’t vote for Violence Crimes Drugs People killing our youth wail in school No apartment’s But We must suffer This is disgusting ? For us I pray that This ends immediately Enough is enough We as citizens must do what ever is necessary ????

We DO NOT WANT YOU HERE IN OUR COUNTRY. WE HAVE ENOUGH FOOLISHNESS HERE IN THE UNITED STATES.

And having appropriate place to sleep. We as American s. Will suffer greatly as right now our in what you call recession...and still struggling to get on our feet.

Consider us worse off as we've ever been.. with this issue ..they are rapists.. heavy criminals...they bring drugs and will do anything to make money?️?❌????

This is where Americans are supposed to use their 2nd amendment right. \n\nThis is why police authority should be granted with no restrictions, even to sh00t down people who attempt illegal entry into the United States.

People are coming over to the United States because of the food stamps checks.The government needs to stop the help or people are going to continue to come and once they get here they don't want to work the women declare them self with no husband to receive food stamps money.The young people don't want to work and the older people are tired of working.

Really there’s no difference between the people. The people are all the same whether you’re from Canada or the United States. All of your ancestors came from Europe. The only differences some of them chose to move to Canada, and some of them chose to move to the United States then you were born, under a certain government as the only difference is, you can go to any province or any state and ask people either say Europe, Asia this is how your government molds you just a toss of a coin, unless you’re from one of the founding fathers of that country

The US can barely take care of it’s own people must less more from other countries. And most wanna come here to reap the benefits the state provides like free housing, food stamps, medical benefits, which is why we’re facing a financial collapse as it is. What happens then I wonder??
