Immigration is a federal responsibility, not provincial and Canada should remain a welcoming country to all immigrants imo, but, if you're here on a work or student visa, newcomers should have to prove employment, training, full-time enrollment, and residency on a quarterly basis. It would drastically limit people becoming ghosts in the system. Refugees and asylum seekers should be allowed 1 appeal only and removed immediately if their claim has been denied. A 90-day grace period should be enacted to get their paperwork and affairs in order. If you're here for a better life, steps should be taken to ensure you're actively trying to accomplish that goal until citizenship is granted. Jmho.

Some of the street cops don't take the initiative but some of them take the extra step to bring it up the chain when they find criminals living here illegally. I know from experience as my ex was abusive and a cop took the time to start the process and my ex got deported

So....The same thing is happening in my city. As long as they don't start migrating to my little hometown, idgaf. Stay off my property and you're good :) But as soon as one of those Curry-eating, Sand-wiping, Goat-forking Sand Niggas step one ugly, smelly foot in my house trying to steal from me...IT'S LYNCHING TIME!

Good step by government Canadians first great news for Canadian kids having hard time to find jobs

I think Canada has more than done its part forever, it's time for other countries to step up also. I trust the new immigrations rules are consistent with international human rights standards as well as what's best for Canada.

Only 18,000 deported out of 5 million illegals? That is a joke. Deportations cost money because the government is way too dumb. You don't need to chase the illegals on our dime instead a few bureaucratic steps will help line up the immigrants across Canada towards airports to flee and here we go: 1- Introduce a 3 months grace period for illegals to depart with their lute, no questions asked 2- Establish a Black-List-Database for all illegals and anyone who makes that list will never get permanent residence no matter how long they stay or even if they apply from abroad down the road 3- Introduce daily fines for overstaying or being here illegal with no ceiling including assets seizure to cover fines 4- Abolish automatic birth citizenship unless both parents are fully legal, else contact your embassy for birth certificate and fetch healthcare, school etc ..on your own dime 5- Revoke driver licenses, bank accounts, temporary SIN numbers of all illegals 6- Mandate the RCMP, Local Police, Sheriffs to check immigration status of anyone who comes in contact with law enforcement including traffic stops 7- Establish new Driver License and other documents for citizens and legal people with specific design and color etc.. 8- Introduce a toll-free number so citizens can report illegals and illegal activities 9- Impose hefty fines and jail time on employers who hire illegals including business closures 10- Limit running to office on all levels to Canadian born citizens 11- No illegal owns, buys or sells any real estate or property Do these and the longest line will be the line leading to airports so our friends CBSA can sit in the ri comfy offices processing illegals at their own pace.

1 answer 82500 as soon as you step foot in Canada. I get 1650 on a pension it was 2700 last year which was 35,000 well that's just too much,im white don't deserve it since we conquered natives give them money way more than a white Canadian,and the chiefs get half a million spread among buddies live off reserve still no clean water definitely no oversight by government. I get taxed to pay immigrants welfare they do not get taxed and are practicing sharia law. Wife says partner left she has 4 to 6 kids 1800 a month per kid plus welfare benefits x 4 wives plus the husband collects on his own and the younger immigrants work shitty jobs while white kids can't get a summer job. The husband also takes a good portion of generous benefits to buy guns hide in mosques for coming jihadGovernment does nothing they loot western canada they will be gone as soon as they stolen enough .

I am Native American. At college, I took a welding course just to break the monotony of classes as I was raised using my hands. This immigrant male, asked the rest of the class "why is she here?". I asked if he had a problem with me and he looked at the class to tell me not to speak to him. No one said a word but looked between us in silence. I asked him again, "do you have an issue with me being here?". Again he told the rest of the Caucasian men to tell me to stop speaking to him. I said if you have a problem with me, let's step outside and one of us will walk back in. You can't accept that a Native female is in this class, pack your family up and go home. Don't think of the state's because that's mine too. The teacher walked in and he could see and sense the tension in the room. He removed the immigrant and they went out of the room. A few minutes later the instructor came in and looked at me and said he'll be taking a class with no females. His country doesn't allow females an education yet alone a trade. You're welcome to stay. I have no intention to leave, was my comment back. I'm here to learn. Decades later, I'm driving home from northeastern Quebec and on the 401 is a gas/food stop. My child and I were passed by 4 luxury sports cars. They pulled into this stop and parked across all the handicapped parking spots. Bumper to bumper across the spots. We went in and met them as we came out and met a truck driver of the same nationality. He asked "how is Canada treating you?". They smiled and said "look", motioning to their silk suits. Another pointed to their cars. And another said "they treat us like kings'!". The fourth said "Canadians are easy to play! Cowards!!" A few days later, I'm at Walmart and present my tax exempt (we pay 5% tax) but the cashier looks at it and states "you all think your so special!!" Your paying the tax like everyone else! A customer behind me yelled for management loudly. When management showed, I didn't say a word because it was the customers behind and on the side of me with complaints of the rudeness of the cashier. She was removed and manager took over transactions. Not just mine but those after me. There was another incident with my child. An immigrant (can tell by the long tunic) was trying to lure my daughter away from me. I put her in a cart and requested help from a young employee who wanted me to write a book before calling security. Another employee came over and called security immediately. By the time they found the man, he had exited the store and got into a taxi. A few weeks later at an arena where youth hockey practice was taking place, the same scenario was happening. A man in a tunic was trying to lure children away and when caught, jumped into a taxi and left the scene. To attack an adult who can defend themselves is one thing but to go after children is another. I say stricter policy on crimes are needed.

I'm a born and raised Canadian, as well as my husband. Even before our country was completely taken over, employment was hard to come by because of the fw's. 8 years ago, my husband had enough with trying to find a job, he stopped counting at over 450 resumes that were ignored, so he decided that we should start our own company, a small delivery company that 2 years later, we added a safe ride service to (driving drunk people home in their own vehicle). I was the manager of a little pizza place, which was run by immigrants, but good ones. I was hired because my husband approached them about doing deliveries, and they wanted to meet me. I had no idea I was going for an interview but they begged me to work for them, their reason; although they could speak English, they weren't fluent in it, so they wanted an English speaking employee who could easily understand the customer's. Within days, I was promoted to manager, and I loved my job and all of them. They treated everyone with such kindness and generosity. I found out just how much support they got from our government, when I broke down one day because I couldn't afford my prescription. My boss was so confused because he and his family got free prescriptions, dental, eye care, etc and they thought everyone got that. My boss paid for my prescription and actually apologized to me for how our own government treated us. He also showed me that they get $2,500 every 2 weeks, funding to start or buy businesses, but if they don't hire other fw's or immigrants, that funding changes to a grant and they have to pay it back. They are given money for housing, and vehicles. He was pushed out of that business by his 2 partners, and the partner's promised him I would keep my job. That was a complete lie. They stopped putting me on the schedule, claiming financial problems (bs), but hired not one but two new full time immigrant employees. I lost it and quit. Our town isn't that big, and word spread fast, especially when everyone found out that I was still owed over $2,000, which I will never see because no government agency will help me. Their business is actually struggling now and I love that for them. As for my husband and I's business, it's going strong but I came unglued when we recieved a letter from the government "suggesting" that we hire immigrants. I wrote back, telling them in no uncertain terms would that ever happen, and it will be a cold day in hell when one of us steps back so one of the government's favored people can take that money from us because we are the only 2 employees and we're not sacrificing a damn thing for someone who already gets everything.

Um so tired of going to a store all immigrants working. Make a phone call it's answered by an immigrant. You can't understand them . I love on ccpd I don't get old age pension yet. I'm too old to get the child tax credit and I'm on a Canada pension disability. I get 713.00 a min to live on. Period. That's it. 😢😢😢 I struggle every day. I live in a seniors housing complex..so my rent is adjusted to fit my income. Thank God for housing I'd be homeless if it wasn't for them. 😢😢 But the immigrants have money. Have jobs. Drive new cars. Get free rent for a year. I waited 9.5 hours at the emergency😢😢 not the Indians they have Indian drs that work there for them. How in the hell is this ok. I ended up leaving the emergency I couldn't wait any longer. I sat there in pain all that time and two Indian families came in during that time and within 20 min at the most they were in and out. They even have an advertisement in the emergency room in their language with all the Indian drs working there. Wtf is going on. I'm tired of seeing these people. They are opening businesses here. Everything you see now is written in English, French and Indian. They call it our third language now. There are building going up that have only immigrants in them. A d I live in a small town but the city. Come on. They stopped saying the Lord's prayer in schools. They can't say Merry Christmas. Christmas concerts are called Holliday concerts now. Our kids don't know the national a them they stopped that. They don't know the Lord's prayer they stopped that. The schools are changed to not make other nationalities feel bad. They get their Holliday's off and our Holliday's off..why? We don't get their off. Yeah I'm just a plain white person who lived in Canada all my life. 64 years. I've never seen this in my days. Never. Everything is destroyed. This feels like India 😢😢😢. We have to stop this. They need to leave. They are not here because of war or danger for their lives. They are here to take the jobs, take over our culture and country. Now we have to be careful what we say or were called racist. I'm white I lived in the hood all my life. With black people. I have alot of black friends even family but this is so damn reducilous. Who are they a d why are they here. Canada doesn't take care of us any more. Or help us people who need it. We are homeless in the streets you don't see Indians homeless, hell no. So Carney step up a x fix what Trudeau ruined. Please. This is not the country I'm used to it's India. Not Canada. I have friends from Ukraine. Now they are brought here because of the war. I get it. But they have their own immigration dr. And they've been here 2.5 years if that and bought their own home a year ago. How is this possible? The first year Canada paid their rent for a year. I live on 713.00 a month. He's a month. I live in seniors housing. I can't get enough to live on. I struggle every day😢😢😢 no one will help me. I'm alone and have nothing while Canada is supporting these immigrants and saying to hell with you if your Canadian . Yes I said it. How can someone live in what I get a month. I don't get anything else and like I said if it wasn't for housing I'd be in the street while Canada brings over immigrants from India that are not here because of war. Just to make more money to send home and take everything from us. They are laughing at us everyone is. Wake up people. We are the minority in our own country😢😢😢😢😢 I'm so done

If no government steps in quickly this is going to get million time worse like Jesus said lucky or The Barrens who cannot bear a child and bring it into this world it is only going to get worse people worse

Most of are Europeans and they still follow European culture, religion & lifestyle. Same Racism, hatred, violence, alcoholism, drugs, indecent clothes & behavior in public, they are on big government, army, political posts, same exploitation like they were doing at time of colonial times. They looks modern but no change in their mentality & ideology. Even today they can’t tolerate different skin colors, cultures, religions etc. this should be changed. Racism & hatred is going out of control in Canada. Canadian government should take step against it. Right now Canada became world’s most dangerous country for immigrants & ‘non European’ people. It should be changed.

Every time I step out of my house all I see are Punjabs. It’s annoying

Strange how Canada has finally stepped up to order military equipment, military personal, borders in the North and with USA borders putting more man power and technology. Changed and removed provincial boundaries for trade, liberal party wants to change like the dems in the USA. Leaders should go in and do a good job and not just think about them selves. Maybe Trump has helped in that way even when we don’t want to admit it. Leaders has got away with things for along time.

Trump, youve over stepped the mark this time because of your greed as a business person

Justin boy should have stepped down by now. Canada doesn't need marxism/communism that jailed a pastor 5 times and now goes after his son.

Justin Destroyed Canada with his unending foolish spending, taxes and corruption,, said he would step down, shut down the government instead and continued acting as Prime Minister while opposition has been muted. He is not a legitimate leader and his words are empty. He is a drama teacher with a script and does the only thing he knows how. He acts. And now he's acting like the tough guy and that he cares about Canada when after nine years in power, it is clear he didn't. Time to get rid of the globalist and all the others. He is not a decent man.

I’m a Canadian and this guy ‘Trudeau is a FAILURE’ he is supposed to be stepping down shortly. He is fake, he has made our country horrible, he imprisons his own people. He is evil, he is wicked. He should be put in prison for Life! He has broken so many laws it’s insane. The stupidity out of all these governments blows my mind. Time for grownups to run the show and actually keep their promises, and actually do what is right! Whatever you do do not listen to Trudeau he is evil(lover of Satan). I will spend my lifetime dealing with his failures. #trudeausucks #imprisonhim

Shame they didn't care about fentanyl when it was killing people off in BC for years before spreading, thousands of people had died. Shame they didn't do anything about the corrupt government that enabled it and the money laundering. Hard to believe they care when so little effort or attention was shown to get the BC government at the time to be accountable. It doesn't help that with our current justice system it's practically a revolving door unless you're screwing over some established monopoly, people who cause real harm are out on the streets in no time. People who accept bribes and allowed the deterioration to occur will never be dealt with and I don't see steps going on to prevent it from happening again. People with the money run the govt and screw us over.

You are just putting a show! You ruined Canada,it is about time step down.

Question; is Trump’s family tree Russian ? I’m trying to figure out Trumps love affair with Putin ?\nCanadians are strong and will pull together as one. When things get tough we step up. We have done this many times when other countries were in need of help, Canadians step up. Now we will step up, and help our country.

Canada has benefited from the USA for many years — it’s time to step up and contribute. ? Let’s focus on fairness and sharing the responsibility don’t bitch about it pay us.

Mmm....????.\nWhy are we even listening to a guy who resigned to lead our nation ?\nNobody understands he and his party are the root of the problem ?.\nHe's a complete incompetent, and he's the one responsible for all this mess.\nNow, he's worried about the border and the fentanil crisis, when everyone in BC knows that the mountains are full in laboratories producing fentanil..\nNow, he's worried about Canadians and crisis..\nWhen he's leaving the country sunk in the biggest debt of all times...\nSeriously, this is FUBAR.\nEnough is enough Trudeau, you already did enough damage, step away for the benefit of Canadians.\nGo, just go away and forever.

I’m an Indigenous American here, I say if Canada was really our friend then they would understand that they have been taking advantage of our countries kindness for too long and it’s time they step up.. If us trying to do something good for our own country for one time instead of everybody else and it’s a problem like this then maybe we weren’t friends anyway.. That means u were only friendly bc u were taking advantage.. \nPlenty of other countries has decided to pick up their own slack and it’s time Canada and America and the other countries start focusing more on their own citizens.. \nThis man is ready to send Canadian soldiers to die in Ukraine right now for something that has nothing to do with them and now instead of negotiating an agreement it’s all about relation and hurting your own people to get back at others over something you took personally..\nI always liked Trudeau but if that’s how he feels about our country then that’s how we feel about his.. \nwe don’t care about Canada anymore except justing Bieber and Linus media group.. everyone else can go lol..

Time for him to step down.

Great job representing our awesome country. This is a terrible time for Trudeau to step down. Right now he has the respect of all other counties. What am amazing speech.

Its the wrong time for Justin to step down. You just showed strength, compassion, honesty, honour and fierceness. All leaders on the right side of history needs to stand up and fight back.

How about we hear him in court has everyone forget what he's done and doing to Canada and using this turbulent time to try and save his sorry ass don't fall for it if he really cared we would have had a new PM long ago and sing would've got that pension and he's stepped down and closed parliament but still spending billions

Please do not step down during a time when you are needed so much! American's need your wisdom and resolve. I say this as an American.

Once in history, there were very wealthy, mighty, and prosperous powers: Egypt, Rome, Greece, and Macedonia. They collapsed one day or step by step and never fully recovered. What remains of them today are the Pyramids, the Coliseum, the Acropolis, and some minor relics in Macedonia. The same fate awaits any superpower sooner or later. While the U.S. and Russia aren’t empires in the traditional sense, they dominate the world stage today. But history has shown time and again—no power stays on top forever.

About time Trudeau step up for his country.

Time for the rich people of this country to step and help us weather this storm and not move your head office and business to the U S Can't wait to see the end of the Liberals but I have to say that might be Trudeau's best speech. Too little too late tho.. Not sure calling him dumb will help no matter how true it is.

Hey, here, from Germany.\nHave been to Canada as a young guy several times and loved it.\nI`m impressed of how you react and how Doug Ford and Trudeau stepped up.\nUnfortunaletly we Germans lately elected the wrong guy as chancellor in my opinion, I hope he can handle it anyway.\nGo Canada, eh!

I hope Con man Chump and his Maga gang will step up and buy all of the CORN ..SOYA BEAN ..WHEAT..AND CHICKEN THAT CHINA PUT TARIFF ON.last time this happens CHINA end up buying all those products from Brazil that leaves American farmers getting hands out from chump..

Prime Minister, I have not voted for you three times. I have not really agreed with your policies since you came to power. I have even thought that you did not know when to make a 'dignified departure. And now today when you have literally five days left before you step off the dais for good, I listen to you and am proud. This is what a leader does and says and I give you my respect and thanks as a fellow Canadian.

Trump needs to be stopped for ruining our country and putting us all in jeopardy. What happened to checks & balances? Why does he get away with all his evil doings? Time for all legislators to step up and do what they can for immediate impeachment. He is not fit to speak for us !!!

Wait, I can take it one step further.... It's understandable to lose our electricity for any period of time in these 4 years. It brings me more joy to have bad optics for our despot than it is to have electricity including our heat and water. ?

Could Canada Win a Trade War?\n Trump has waged Economic War on Canada in order to bring us to our knees so that we will eventually capitulate to become the 51st state.\n\n Had he come in a nice way, as a friend verses a foe, he would have had a lot more interest, especially from Alberta. \n\n Now that we are here, the question has to be asked, can we actually win a trade war that has probably been extensively war-gamed by the U.S.?\n\n Our politicians want us to go toe to toe with a 900 lb gorilla. The U.S. economy is at least 10 times our size and are less dependent on our trade than we are. We may give them a black eye but they could rip our arms and legs off. \n\n Retaliatory tariffs play into their hands. It’s the perfect excuse to increase the tax to 50 or 100%. So will we do the same? This would devastate us, achieving their goals.\n\n Canadians are already fighting back without the government making things worse. People are boycotting U.S. goods en masse and cancelling travel plans, etc. and this is already having a strong effect.\n\n Some say turn off the electricity and oil, but who will pay price? It will be the businesses and employees, not the politicians who are now trying to act tough. If we want this to turn into a real kinetic war, then turning off the taps may do it. \n\n We have seen countless times where politicians tell us what we want to hear, making us think they are heading is a certain direction, only to find they do the exact opposite. This proves you can not believe what career politicians say and have to go by what they do, or don’t do, instead. Yet now, they confidently declare that Canada will never become the 51st state. This should raise eyebrows. \n\n Almost all of the MPs and Premiers are unanimous in entering into a trade war we can not win. After tariffs go ballistic, our dollar drops to .35 cents, and we get utterly crushed, I can see them say, “in order to save what’s left of our economy and society we must reluctantly join the U.S. or face certain destruction”. \n\n Not only would the decades old goal of a North American Union be accomplished, but we would take a large step towards the video statement that the World Economic Forum - WEF posted on their website. “By 2030, you will own nothing and be happy”. \n\n The WEF is working with the UN to achieve their Agenda 2030 goals and is what Pierre Poilievre and the “Conservatives” signed Canada onto Sept. 27, 2015. This is what Trudeau has been implementing. Mark Carnie, Pierre, and Jagmeet Singh would finish off the job. Read the redistribution of wealth goal #10. Are you feeling poorer yet? Remember, one has to dig deeper to see through the document’s ultimate double speak written for public consumption. \n\n There is much more going on than meets the eye. Our best defence is to not play into their hands. A much better plan needs to be developed by minds who see the big picture for creative solutions, and it does not seem to be those in office now

Terrific are ok for Canada, but not for the US? So, one-sided. Time to step up.

This feels like an action movie where villains cause a catastrophe to crash the financial markets, scoop up cheap stocks, and get rich overnight. Normally, Bruce Willis would step in to save the day. Time for all the Bruces of the world to rise—let’s get to work!

Europe must stand strong and independent! The U.S. can’t dictate global trade while waging economic warfare. It’s time for Europe to impose high tariffs on American goods and services—no more one-sided deals! We don’t need Silicon Valley giants like Apple, Google, or Tesla to thrive. If Trump escalates, it will backfire on the U.S. Let’s unite with Canada, China, and Mexico to push back. Europe, step up and go all in! ????

This blowhard deserves respect from no one. He talks tough now because he will soon be stepping down as PM. As a Canadian, I am ashamed that my country elected this tyrant three times. Canada is in no position to lecture ANYONE on governance.

Let's not forget how Trudeau and his party ruined our country in the last 4-8 years... It's like Canadians are already forgetting that and are praising him? Sure I get these steps against tariffs are in the right direction but this man still sickens me. Canada is not the same because of him and the liberal party. It's time for change.

Canada and their snowflake PM can talk all they want! The trade deficit numbers between the US and Canada will crush Canada and be barely felt in the US. All of these comments are uninformed and uneducated. Once again, Canada will cave in a short time because it's unsustainable for their economy. Time to step up your border security or watch your economy crash!

It’s a sad times our government are only worried about themselves . They are able to ruin the country and do all of these because the United states is filled with hatred .The people of the United States somehow think that Our president working closely with our enemy ( Russia ) Is some type of alliance with working towards segregation toward other Americans they feel are less superior to other Americans . Some sort of race war or segregation. How far will we as Americans let this go on without stepping up.\nOr is this what the American really want.\nWill we stand up to this nonsense and hatred?

First time he's stepped up. I still do not want Liberals in power. It's a great speech but he's created some of the problems in Canada. He should have closed the border years ago and paid more for the military help.. Too little too late but he's finally protecting Canada! No Putin no takeover, not Trump!

I love Canadian people I do not like your leader. He sounds righteous today. Make no mistake of the Skeltons this man has. I do support President Trumps decision we neen to make changes for our country as do you guys have to do. Better days are coming us all things will get rough for a while. Loll to your leader to do his part for your country. He needs to get creative business wise instead of putting blame. Why is your leader looking to fight he should be thinking about how to solve problems and create business. I love Canadians We will get through this. Bucket up thing will get rough for all of us we all have to make changes. We believe in Donald Trunp and the many men and woman that have stepped up to change this country. May God be with us all may we get thought rough times may these wars come to and end.

It's time for Canada to step up and take the place they are capable of, lead the way in the Americas along side Mexico and stop living in the shadows of the USA.

The reason for this 'trade war' is not about 'trade'. It's about 'creating chaos' so that president Trump is the 'centre' of world attention. A malignant naracistic individual apparently cannot have anyone seemingly to be 'doing better' or being more successful than he is. Canada ?? is a very successful nation and because of its economic success it is creating envy and apparently hatred in certain individuals who view the success of Canada ?? as a threat to themselves. The USA now apparently cannot see the value of a strong and stable economy as its near neighbours. Thats why apparently there are some who now want to crash the Canadian economy and when times then 'get tough' the blame and responsibility for this chaos will be accepted by whom. Presidents and Prime Ministers come and go. Once their 'term is over' they simply 'walk away'. World leaders need to be men or women of integrity and honesty who 'do the right thing'. With 'great power' comes 'great responsibility'. You only 'give responsibility' to someone who has the wisdom and expertise and understanding in order to both 'hold' and 'govern' wisely and without fear or favor. Maybe its time for others in positions of authority in other institutions to step in and 'take control'. You would never let a child drive a super car on the highway so how much 'damage' has to happen before a world leader is not 'held to account' and his 'hands removed' from the steering wheel before there is a motor accident so large that the freeway is rendered unless and has to be totally shut down your. You cannot have total power in the hands of individuals who apparently do not possess the necessary skills knowledge and experience and wisdom that is required to fulfil the role they were elected to fulfil. A person with the mind and mentality of a child apparently is not a fit person to be running the economy of any nation. May Canada ?? remember its roots and may we all be thankful for true and honest leaders who have integrity and do and say the right thing. Thank you Mr Prime minister. I trust that King Charles III has heard what his Canadian prime minister has said and what he is doing with total integrity.

I don't know about you you but the $66.5B we've given to Ukraine could've been used here to give to our veterans. It's time we stopped getting screwed and put our nation and our people first. Zelensky is an ungrateful petulant boy. They can fight their own battle. We have enough problems at home to deal with. It's time someone with balls stepped up. Good job Trump let's make us great.
