Just got back from my first ever cruise and fully enjoyed it. Sat through a few presentations on how the ship actually keeps us all safe and afloat and had a behind the scenes peek at where the amazing crew eat , sleep and socialize. Also learned how they hire and vet their staff, including all background and health checks before they can work for Royal Caribbean (Celebrity). Hey Mr PM, perhaps you could join this board and learn a thing or two on how to “onboard” people to safeguard all.

Watching the government I came to believe that they are absolutely unconcerned about the the results of there actions in many regards, but also that many of them are too incompetent to actually do the job. Just look at the current Immigration minister. She is utterly clueless. I wouldn't hire the woman as nanny! Yet, she is a minister, can't answer basic questions and is totally useless.

Keep voting for the same party that’s actually destroying the country and this is what you get

These immigrants have it too good! Wow, a whole four dolllars per prescription. I’m paying more than that in all my co pay and I live below the poverty line! Hell, I have to pay seventeen dollars in co pay for Spiriva just so I can breath and these damn asylum seekers get it for four bucks?! These freeloaders have got to go! Born and raised in Canada. Paid taxes since I was sixteen and this is my payback! Then they wonder why Canadians are starting to resent and actually hate these immigrants. Sorry but not sorry!!!!

Paying failed "refugees" health care is akin to someone sneaking in the back door of a warehouse on payday and demanding a paycheque like he actually works there.

Actually Carney seems to be like useful idiots as his Minister. Look at Gary -absolutely incompetent, Mark Millar - absolutely incompetent, Dian - absolutely incompetent yet he keeps them. I think he likes them stupid because then he can control them.

She wants to allow 1000's of illegals to stay here. She wants to keep the free health care for them. Plus she supports actually allowing foreigners into our military is insane!

I’m a white guy… carney’s a white guy… I’d support stripping him of his citizenship of convenience and deporting him back to europe… his actual home. Am I racist?

bringing in foreigners to grow the military -- people who are saying this don't have a clue about what the actual threats we face now and are likely to face in the near future OR why people fight for THEIR country

Carney makes sure he puts the dumbest people on immigration. Because he knows the dumbest people support the Liberal Party. So it doesn't matter how bad they break everything. They're gonna get still gonna get supported. Because for some reason, people think Carney is king and walks on water and was the first man on the moon and everything else he takes credit for that. He didn't do. He left nothing but chaos in his wake anywhere. He's been just asked the slaves in the Amazon rainforest. What they thought of him in Brookfield, management asked the United Kingdom what they thought about his stint there and now he's in Canada. He wrecked things for 5 years as Trudeau's advisor and now he's the big shot, loser, screwing Canada even worse. I'm willing to bet if anyone actually cared enough to follow the money. I think canadian taxpayers are paying for not only his trips around to these other countries for deals, but I think were accommodating Brookfield management as well!

Who could be an actual "Racist" in this Multicultural Nation? This is ONLY being said inorder to Cover Their Tracks! To Blame their Stupidity on SOMEONE ELSE is what they do REGULARILY! FIRE THEM ALL!

You know you’re in Canada when the opposition party is held to a higher standard of conduct than the actual government…

Actually Vassy, when millions of ppl come in they overwhelm our systems from education, medical, emergency, housing, transit and devalues our dollar. If you werent paid what you are paid youd be on our side. Stop selling your soul, you started humble and now you act like we dont matter

Give actual evidence not talking in circles!

These benefits continue until they actually leave the country. Stated by immigration officials during committee meetings.

But you need to give a number of the bogus claims....YES everyone agree bogus claim should Not get helath benifits ok, BUT HOW MANY ? '......''give or take actually half "....lol

I agree with Michelle somewhat, but she doesn't need to exaggerate. It will be a lot stronger if she gives just the actual numbers. 80% of claimants are legitimate , it's not 50%. I wish both sides would just stick to facts.

Can we have a referendum for a city to leave Alberta? After all, the referendums can be played by various sides... Be careful what you wish for you may get it... Also, the question are actually misleading: Alberta does have its own provincial nomindation program and can nominate people to obtain permanent residence in Alberta.

This is actually might affect my life lol

The word "FALL" actually sounds like an accidental situation rather than a deliberate, planned, intentionaly created sense of chaos..it is way more than incompetence...

This is a huge win and any smooth brain saying “ diDnT tHEY jUsT hAvE aLbErTa is cALliNg” ? Yes. We need skilled trades workers. Not more foreign students who get jobs at Tim’s or at any small retail/ gas station. If you guys will still complain about this even after we’re getting the healthcare spending and wage increases you really are shills who are just here to push an agenda. You don’t actually care about the betterment of Canada or the quality of life for Canadians here. I as an albertan blue collar worker am beyond happy with these changes and the fact that they’re putting it to a vote get over yourselves please.

Yet no referendum on cpp or Alberta Canada permanence or how about an actual election as the government has lost the confidence of the entire province.

While Global News provides the stage, Danielle Smith delivers a masterclass in the St. Petersburg playbook, using a $60 oil dip to justify a referendum that reads like a manual for national collapse. It is impressive how she pivots from a $10,000 "vacation" at Mar-a-Lago to suddenly worrying about the "sustainability" of the very social services she’s busy undermining with tiered citizenship and constitutional power grabs. Most Canadians are either too polite to say it or too blinded by the flood of compromat to notice, but this isn't provincial leadership; it's a performative libertarian fantasy designed to fracture the federation while the RCMP and CSIS are left watching from the sidelines. Apparently, "taking back control" means handing the keys to whoever is currently whispering in her ear at a Florida golf club. It is high time we stopped pretending this regional arson is "direct democracy" and started calling it the sovereignty-shattering interference that it actually is.

Many International Students now are actually people in their 30s and 40s, with multiple kids and a spouse. So when they come here to "Study" They are eligible for Child Tax benefits and GST rebates and everything else that only a Citizen should receive. These foreign people are essentially financing their edication with the tax payers money. On top of that, they are adding more load to the healthcare , and public school system, without paying a single dollar in income tax or property tax.

Ah Danielle Smith most recent dog whistle, all she has is these distractions because when you look at her actual policy it is her mismanagement that is all she has as a legacy.

Let’s wait a few more years until someone notices an actual problem with our ports and borders.

If some guy handed you an invitation to a party at his house, and there, after an hour, someone approaches saying , 'I hate to tell you, but you WERE'NT actually invited and your invitation is fake, and although the guy who invited you DOES HALF OWN the house, but it is HIS BROTHER hosting the party, and your friend, whenever his brother holds a party prints out fake invitations. And then after being told to just STAY PUT, after thinking that you would like to just leave, the guy who explained this comes over to tell you that since your friend IS half owner of the house, that you are ALLOWED TO STAY, but preferably if you could just walk a long narrow hallway in sit in the large roomy storage closet. Maybe then, you think it preferable to just leave, but IT MIGHT BE CONSTRUED that you are making A BIG FUSS about leaving, and this would be BEING RUDE to the people WHO TOOK QUITE A BIT OF TIME to help you sort out YOUR DILEMMA, and IF you DO leave, you might NOT EVER be invited back again, and if you AREN'T invited back, MAYBE someone who saw you AT THE PARTY: LIKES YOU, and will go around LOOKING FOR YOU, even to the points of looking through people's windows to find you, and WHAT IF this would happen at like 3am, and maybe you should JUST TRY TO enjoy your stay in the broom closet BECAUSE someone who DOES LIKE YOU would wait and be able to SPOT YOU and say 'hi' AS YOU EXIT the main entrance, if that is the only exit.

I think you have missed the point: People DO NOT actually TRUST ONE-ANOTHER VERY MUCH. So people sit down TRYING YO DEVISE "PLANS" such that the think that they are MINIMIZING the risks inherent in INTERACTING WITH PEOPLE THAT YOU DO NOT TRUST, AS IF YOU CAN TRUST THEM. This NEVER WORKS and always makes a big bizarre mess.

Fraud has always existed, granted it is getting worse! Yet, is it our internet awareness or the actual problem? Or is it how we classify what is fraud? Both sides have accountability here... ;-)

I KNOW. Its hard. Our host, trying, trying, straining to comprehend the big picture. This was a decent logical interview. Kenney called out 'post nationalist' the death of history insane ideology. And the two of you showed how it has been rejigged, a lot of the details. Good job. Honestly, excellent interview. I saved it to my PC. Here is the hard part. Excepting the US, the entire west, UK, Germany, France, Spain, Canada, Australia etc, is engaging the same precise nation wrecking migration policies. Ponder the concept - its a global plan. THAT is the hard part. Stretch your mind Lilley, you can do it. You would start to wonder whether its one arm of an overall decline of the west actual plan. Wreck energy, agriculture, public finances, flood the place with unvetted migrants to swamp the place, deride the history, promote shame, wreck the very concept of a family, de-industralize. Make us all poor, dependent, minorities in our own homeland. Keep gnawing away at free speech, arrest grandmas for posting why is the local hotel full of migrants who dont speak english? Just how it is man. I know, its hard to comprehend. Facts are facts however.

I've been saying for the last 6 years the whole problem with Canada is immigration it's got nothing to do with housing hospitals Healthcare schools and especially welfare it's because always new immigrants don't actually do anything they've been bad for Canada and will never be any good they hate the country but yet they want to be citizens give me a break our country is full of protesters and criminals

I grew up being told multiculturalism is our strength. Seeing it now as an adult, I can see all its done is created cities that have no actual Canadians, English or our culture. Raised crime, destroyed the housing market, lower the standard of living and quality of life. We need to go back to 1990's Canada and undo all that the last 35 years have done to our once great country.

If Quebec can loosen their language-related laws, existing Canadian citizens and permanent residents from across the country can actually get decent jobs without having to get in foreign workers.

Tighten immigration control should prioritze sending away asylum seekers who came here for financial reasons not who are actually working. Labor shortage is real, so is welfare fraud.

This is the problem: Temporary workers are temporary. Their arrangement stipulates that they work in-country for a number years, and then return home. Yet, many temporary workers are under the impression that they're actually semi-permanent residents. That's why they invest so much, expecting to be able to stay indefinitely. It needs to be made clear that temporary means temporary.

actually we LOVE it ...way too late

start training canadians, pay and living wage, and make the cost of living so actual canadians can have children. THERE IS NO LABOUR SHORTAGE, THERE IS A LIVING WAGE SHORTAGE

"Without warning tightened immigration" The last 3 years of Trudeau's reign were Canadians, actual Canadians who can vote, screaming at Trudeau to cut the immigration numbers. Anyone angry about it is just pissed that they can't cry more since Carney isn't making a circus of the whole thing.

Actually support for tightened immigration controls is extremely high.

True Canadians want lower immigration. The only ones that don't are foreigners living in Canada and neoliberal globalists. Canada has a population of about 41 million people right now. Only about 28 million are actual "Canadians".

I wonder if it’s really like in the US? Ya know blame immigrants for the strain on resources when actually it’s corporations making billions whilst not paying a living wage and whatnot. Cause billionaires need more mansions and yachts?

416'er here - don't mind the Indian community actually as a Caucasian they're awesome 👍😎

This does nothing for actual canadians. Nothing!

Great start. 64% decrease in foreign students is a huge cut and definitely needed. Middle class tax cut is a step in the right direction and the $10 NSF fee is actually a huge underrated change. I’ll admit I’ve been in the situation where I forgot which day my bill is coming out and didn’t have my bank account prepared accordingly. Getting slapped with $50+ NSF fees just made it even worse. Nice to see a cap on that now as I felt like companies were abusing it.

Its actually 5 million temporary visa is expiring from january 2024 to december 2025. Gets your facts right.

Immigration is only good if it benifits canada. Immigrate business families, doctors, professional engineers, etc who actually contribute to our economy rather than depending on free benifits. Benifits are onky for canadians who actually need it and not for temporary foreigners.

Actual Canadian born citizens get 1 ply toilet paper for our tears.

So....nothing that actually puts real dollars in canadians pockets. Surprise Surprise. Keep voting liberal!

We need more immigrants that actually invest in Canada like Chinese immigrants

The tax cut is peanuts and it’s more than offset by increases in other taxes so we will actually pay more. Never trust a Liberal.
