There needs to be trade defence pacts. A tariff on one country and all counties in the pact give counter tariffs.

As one gentleman was saying they don't pay taxes... that has no facts, that is only his opinion. Every immigrat i know works two jobs to succeed and pays his or her share of taxes. Some of these individuals interviewed had now knowledge but just opinion. The host should be asking experts not just random people. When we need a kidney transplant, we see specific specialist, not random people on the street. To fix any issues in our society, we need to interview experts, not option based people
Critiques the video's methodology for relying on opinions rather than expert analysis, and defends immigrants' tax contributions based on personal observation.

Not just brown town in Brampton it’s all over. Worst thing man is they are training ppl in Punjab at the local stores. Train ppl in English or French it’s Canada. I find it ignorant to train ppl in a language that Canadians don’t use. I go into Tim Hortons in a small town and they barely know English. Ask for cream get sugar everytime man. the culture sometimes is rude and short with ppl. Too many apartments and rentals are putting student immigrants first instead of Canada students. The driving is unreal saw immigrants driving in the middle of the road!! Like wtf. It’s out of control.
Extended critique of immigration practices, language training policies, housing allocation, and driving behavior, with underlying cultural anxiety.

This man is a bigger threat to Canada than anyone. Also, we don't care about your tariffs. You had a chance to change your unfair tariffs and be more reasonable, and you blew it. That's all you had to do. But instead, you cry and whine.

I am Canadian and I am envious of Americans because you have a leader who can stand for you guys, Canada’s economy has been suffering with his leadership even before Trump was elected but he is supporting /funding war , giving out tax payers to refugees he has been bringing who don’t contribute to tax. Hear him more concerned to Americans as opposed to announcing to us Canadians what is his plan for Canada to address tariff! Let USA do their thing , improve your leadership and don’t rely on other countries plans/decisions, unfortunately we are affected but it’s your job to make strategies of how you would address that. Dont blame Trump you could have thought of plans prior implementation
A Canadian's first-person critique of Trudeau's economic policies, refugee funding, and lack of tariff strategy.

These comments on youtube are funny. Trudeau is the reason why Canada is economically a shell of what it was 10 years ago. Everyday canadians understand his words and threats are empty. Hes a shell puppet who is so hated in canada that he had to shut down the canadian government 2 months ago. Thats right, in a demcracy this creepy fool has shut it down to milk a few more measly months of his power before he is forced to slink away. Worse, under his watch our borders have become fentanyl ridden jokes. Less than 10 percent of anything is even inspected at our ports of entry. Human and drug trafficing is out of control. I dont like tarriff wars, but this is all trudeaus fault - every criticism of the US gov is completely valid. Canada went from #3 at the G20 to last under this guy. 90 percent of the fentanyl going into the US comes through canada.. should i go on...
Extensive criticism of Trudeau's policies on economy, borders, and drug trafficking, mixed with unverified statistics and alarmist framing.

Where are the Republican congressmen and senators? The world is protesting against Trump, but we hear nothing from these spineless wimps. And where are the US administrators . They are gutless, scare de cat wimps…are missing, these sycophants also are ruining everything too. No wonder the US is falling apart. And look at the abandonment by Trump of Ukraine. I hope the very best historians are recording the shocking mayhem all of Trump’s making
Criticism of US Republican officials and Trump administration for perceived failures and abandonment of allies, framed as moral failing.
