I work in an auto shop not far from some of the locations in this video, the amount of self inflicted damage I see is baffling

How can white people be so intelligent to build everything yet so dumb to let foreigners take it all over? It baffles me.

It’s just so lovely how some people insist they own this country, even though their great-great-grandparents were, historically speaking, the original undocumented immigrants. Nothing says 'true Canadian' quite like a conveniently selective memory about history! And speaking of people who 'established' things: Have you noticed all the homeless folks? They’re overwhelmingly non-brown people. It’s almost baffling—here they are, the supposed descendants of 'pioneers' who’ve had centuries to 'build and settle,' and yet they apparently still couldn't manage to establish anything for themselves. I guess that superior heritage and centuries of head-start didn't quite translate into a sturdy roof, did it? How wonderfully ironic

What baffles me is how easily the government and public colleges are shifting the blame and pretending to be like a deer in the headlight. $252 million, this is the surplus profit) that one just one Ontario public college had in 2024. There’s no typing error, friends, this is the number and anyone can verify it. The last I checked, these colleges are not operated or governed by immigrants, it’s us who are in charge. We are being mislead to believe that the problem lies elsewhere. Colleges made money, the feds, province , region every body made millions. Where were these auditors for 8 years. This mass influx began in 2018, so was the entire government and administration at all levels was napping.

Honestly baffled how no one is raising arms in the US yet ? Trump is a Traitor to your constitution

It is baffling to see America spiralling down in just a few weeks.

I am baffled Americans chose a lying, inarticulate felon to be their leader. The world shakes its head.

It’s truly unbelievable how gullible people can be, and I’m not saying this to be cruel, this is just the straight truth. Justin Trudeau is a proven liar and an opportunist, plain and simple. Time and time again, he’s shown that he’ll say whatever fits his agenda, no matter how dishonest or manipulative. He’s openly embraced and pushed harmful, nonsensical ideologies, including radical transgender policies aimed at children. Without question, he’s been the most damaging Prime Minister in Canadian history. Under his leadership, Canada isn’t just struggling, it’s circling the drain. That speech everyone’s praising — he didn’t even write it. It’s all just another performance, another chance to prop up his fake image. The truth is, Trudeau has done far more harm to this country than good, and that’s the reality whether people want to admit it or not.\n\nAnd for all the Trump haters out there, it’s incredible, actually baffling, how nobody seems to be talking about the billions and billions of taxpayer dollars that have been completely wasted — just vanished into thin air. You don’t hear a word about that. It’s unbelievable. Meanwhile, America’s borders were secure under Trump, but you never hear about that either. And let’s not forget, men weren’t allowed to compete against women in sports, which should be common sense, but somehow even that’s controversial now. The silence on all of it is staggering. It’s absolute insanity.

I’ve never been more ashamed to be an American. What has happened to common decency and more importantly, common sense? How are people falling for trumps lies every single day? It’s baffling that critical thinking is a thing of the past in the states nowadays. And that’s exactly how trump wants it.

You can't satisfy a narcissist. We should know better. What's up with this baffling herd stupidity?

General Clark is baffled by Trump's strategy. How it doesn't make any sense to alienate our allies and isolate ourselves. To destroy our economy and internal workings.\n\nBut it becomes crystal clear if you accept the fact that Trump is serving Putin. He is Putin's asset. \n\nTrump's actions prove it.

This must be baffling to many Americans hearing an articulate, well-spoken, and intelligent leader. Many Americans just assume the rest of the world is illiterate and stupid, like the masses of Americans are. The propaganda that is spewed out telling Americans how great their country is isn't reality. Sad, really. When you elect a leader like Trump, it's clear to the rest of the world that there is a shortage of intelligence in the USA.

Dump wants the US to fail bcuz it will mean more for him and his cronies. He only cares about himself. It’s baffling what his cult followers will believe. Anything, absolutely anything, whatever he says they will do and believe. Kinda like another dictator in 1930s Germany

As an American? I'm baffled at this sudden war on Canada\n I imagine most Americans feel the same.

Another American here that is baffled by this administration. I respect your counter measures and stand with you.

I'm a born Canadian and i'm BAFFLED at how you would turn around and impose tariffs on your closest ally. Canada and the US had a relationship that was built on trust co-operation and trillions of dollars and it means nothing to their current president. I used to be a fan of Trump, but the recent situation with Zelensky along with the tariffs i can see more and more that having him back in office was a huge mistake. Trump obviously doesn't care about how the tariffs affect his country and his people because he responded by threatening to raise the tariffs in retaliation to Canada's response.

Sigh ? … American here, I didn’t vote for him. Canada stay strong, I support you standing up for yourself and support you standing up to a bully. Honestly I’m just baffled by everything that keeps happening. It’s only been a month and I wonder what the next 4 years will look like. I don’t know what to do. I voted, that was my bit of voice, but the majority apparently wanted this. They made excuses for him, over and over again, and now we all have to suffer the consequences. He always told us who he was, so I don’t want to hear excuses if you voted for him! I’m pissed off, as well as sad.\nUkraine, my prays go out to you. The way your president was treated in the White House was abominable. Please know not all Americans are delusional enough to think what The Trump Dump did was ok in any way. Now we all just have to survive this shit storm as best we can, and stand up where, and when we are able.

It completely baffles me to hear such filth and ignorance coming from so many Americans commenting here. It has to be Russian bots right?!?

I can't believe people are still baffled about the scumbag trumps affection for putin? The scumbag is compromised 9 ways to Sunday when it comes to his decade's long connections with Russia, so putin has him by the balls for committing international financial crimes that would make wanted worldwide. This shit ant rocket science people.

America first, simple. It baffles me that Americans want others to take advantage of us

look at him talking about putin while on theother hand he is supporting the genocide of israel and putting journalist reporting on palestine in jail . hypocrisy and stupidity in canada is baffling

This baffling behaviour by Trump and his administration is sinister. He is dismantling the NATO alliance which is the main defensive safeguard against a malevolent Putin regime. He focuses on Ukraine, a victim of naked aggression, as the party which needs to make concessions. No criticism is levelled at the Putin regime. Russia could not imagine behaviour more favourable to them .\nBut furthermore, Trump appears to be diminishing the USA in terms, not only of economic power, but also reputation, international respect, military status and World influence. \nOne wonders whether Trump is deliberately doing this as part of his allegiance to Putin? Is he in fact a Russian asset? He could not be more successful if her were so?

It's really baffling when the US imposes tariffs on Canada and lifts sanctions or russian oligarchs..

As always, because the libtards cannot create valid arguments, they are trying to baffle the people with bullshit.\n\nI don't like your mayor. I don't like him because he has a waffler and a weak man. Whether before or after you made this video, he got called to the governor's office for a spanking, and came back humming a different tune. He's weak. He's trying not to take a side, which is going to make both sides come after him until his career is over. \n\nBUT...\n\nHe got indicted by the Biden administration, over airline upgrades for Christ's sake, because he was taking a stand against illegal immigration. \n\nThat was his stance in the first place. That's what got him in this mess in the first place. \n\nSo to say that the fact that he wanted to work with the Trump administration to fight illegal immigration is a quid pro quo... That's just galactically stupid. \n\nThey are speaking to the ignorant with this. Unfortunately, the ignorant are a massive army.

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 sincerely don't understand why people have an issue with people who came here illegally getting deported. It's not at all racially motivated or discrimination. Whether they are serious criminals or just entered illegally - it is not right for them to be here, or be provided services paid for by tax paying Americans. As an educated American citizen, If I want to move to UK or European countries I have to jump through many hoops, prove I have my own money to support myself, and possibly meet a language requirement. Why is it that we just accommodate anyone who wants entry to USA? It baffles me. I have friends all upset about deportations and it's ridiculous. I can't understand why we bother to have any laws if we don't enforce them? I have 2 family members who immigrated here LEGALLY. That's the only way it should be allowed and we should up the requirements to gain entry as well.

Is America not a stolen a land from the Red India so who are the criminals? I m baffled who are the one who dehumanised all our black ancestors forced to slavery ?Let’s talk facts .

Basically everything is going up in price and pro tariff Americans will be baffled. They really think these tariffs are somehow going to help the USA and drop prices?

When is Malaysia going to do the same?\nThere are so many citizens from Africa that one can't understand why they are here in the first place. Also many foreigners from Bangladesh, Indonesia n Myanmar, marrying here to get their children to have Msian citizenship. Look around n see how many of them are getting married, even to locals just to get privilages of their spouses bumiputra status. If a big country like America can implement rules to send all illegal immigrants back, how a small nation is unable to do the same, baffles us. Corruption is the main problem. We sell our souls to the devil to gain Earthly possessions n wealth on the aspects of destroying our country due to massive forms of greed n ignorance.\nIf these traits are not curtailed from becoming a huge loss for the country by prevention, than expect a No Cure situation that'll rob the Peace of a country.

Go protest in your own country. Entitlement baffles me.

There will be a gigantic shift from BTC to XAI308K...this will be a fact. Still baffled by Michael Saylor's position.

CNN sucks, can’t believe anyone would support them. Baffling.

This woman is complete liar and always busy trying to glorify India and is never ready to show the other side of the story. For instance how many Indians have overstayed their visa in US & in Schengen area. Also how we make fraudulent documents for visa application or even for study or work abroad things. Palio I’m always left baffled and speechless every time I see your one sided report. A fifth grader with common sense who’s never been to a journalism school can do a better report than you. You’re an absolute disgrace and doing huge disservice to our nation by providing them with half truth and one sided story.

It’s really baffling and nauseating to see how some individuals think that by being white adjacent or having white proximity means you or you family won’t be affected by an administration’s biased policies .

Cubans politics have always baffled me! Your here because of policy the democrats supported & then they turn around and vote Republican!

As a LEGAL immigrant, I'm baffled that these democratic party idiots and supporters don't understand the dangers of illegal immigration. If illegal immigration is OK, then why bother with Congress, taxes and the democratic process in the first place???? Just open the borders and let everyone come and it's going to be a circus. Lol ???

15 million illegal immigrants! It baffles the hell outta me that people would still vote for harris. 15 million under bidens presidency alone I had to edit to add this last part in cause apparently people think 15 million is all the way back from Bush and Obama SMH

It baffles me how deporting ILLEGAL immigrants is a problem

Besides her political stance. Its so sad that ahe would alienate her own family like that. She is the kind of person that leaves this world alone. Why? She chose hate. It baffles me. If there is one thing I would do anything for it would be my family. God have mercy on her soul.

It utterly baffles me how people can work in a country without knowing the language.

What’s baffling to me is the United Nations development program hired my dad to train local people in turkey and Bahrain for welding. To stop foreign workers from coming into their countries and taking jobs away from local people. I wonder if the United Nations should hired my dad in Canada to train Canadians so that foreign workers can’t come in a take jobs away from Canadians. I guess our governments aren’t smart enough to contact the United Nations For help in resolving that problem.

Canadian journalists pretending to be baffled by this. Canadians are tired of being called racists by the people we send our tax money to.

This is criminal, Deeka Rafael should be in prison. Imagine stealing $41K from a bank or from a person, the law would be fully enforced. The system is broken. Why the government does not spend on speeding up these cases is baffling. They spend money on all sorts of other useless things. I hope you get justice Mr. Singh. Sue her for every dollar owed.

Housing shortage in a country with so much land, space and so few people? Baffling. Think HK, Tokyo, Singapore

There’s no stopping it now. Just a baffling scenario.

Indians exploiting other Indians, I was so baffled by this, as a non Indian. Why? Greed?

Agreed with all your points and thanks for sharing. But honestly, I fail to understand two points here. 1. People living in Canada and commenting that it is true and they are baffled with this whole situations, when exactly you are coming back to India? People will tell you that they want to come back but no one will. It is because those who actually left for Canada in order to have a better lifestyle are still having a better lifestyle in Canada and they will never return back (atleast in the near future). They left for Canada citing the reasons that India is polluted and they are toured based on religion (you know exactly whom I am talking about) but whatever the case is...they are still not coming back. 2. No country is perfect, I agree that Canada has its own problems to deal with but then why Indians are leaving for US, UK and Australia where racisms and cost of living high too? It is because they have issues with India too and those who have issues with a well diverse and prospered country like India, will have problems in other country as well. So if you don't wanna come to Canada, all good but other countries have same problems as well (atleast 80% matches the points discussed in the video - exclude drug ofcouse).

As a person who works full time in a minimum wage job. It baffles me how my friend who is unemployed gets way more benefits and money than me. Thinking of just going on welfare soon.

What baffles me is that theyre muttering hes racist..well i would say youre racist towards Israel by demanding its destruction.

I don't understand how Trudeau got elected two times. It baffles me
