I'm canadian here in Canada - most of us despise trudeau and are struggling to survive under his high tax regime. We want trudeau to sit down and shut up and stop robbing us Canadians of a living and of our election. We have wanted an election for months now. He has denied us that.
Self-identified Canadian expressing criticism of Trudeau's tax policy, economic impact, and denial of elections.

This is a disaster of a video, poor and wrong info.
Its a poorly made video.
Quebec controls its own immigration, and it has different target amounts and is slight different from the rest of Canada
They don't explain that there are two different programs.
one for students
one for temporary workers (very new and is being phased out and going back to being a mostly agricultural temp worker program)
and one for everyone else.
the text showed said the girl is a temporary worker
when they also said she came as a student and graduated, and was working after graduation as part of the permit.
Also Quebec has its is own immigration programs that are slightly different from the rest of Canada
Detailed critique of video accuracy and policy explanation, pointing out omissions about Quebec's separate programs and permit categories.

There wasn't just the choice of more babies or more immigrants. There was a 3rd clear choice: less government. THAT was the correct course of action to reduce the cost of living and take the tax boot off of peoples' throats so they can start families.
Argues for an alternative policy approach (reduced government) rather than immigration as a solution to demographic decline.

I love the direct democracy comparison because yeah, having a referendum on only issues that Mrs. Smith thinks are important makes you just like Switzerland! Why don't you have a referendum on your rate of pay and the pension you will receive, as a politician, Mrs. Smith? How about you have a referendum about the US-style health insurance you want to introduce? Or how about you have a referendum on the style of democracy you have and ask people if they want a true direct-democracy and let them be able to have a vote on any issue or law, at any time?
Yeah, I didn't think so...
Uses sarcasm and rhetorical questions to critique selective direct democracy implementation and politician self-interest in policy design.

OK people, remember the last 9 years. He is the same guy who has ruined the country. Go ahead vote Liberal and the lies and graft and waste continue. He is an actor playing his role. No substance behind him. He is still the most hated and inefficient leader we have ever had.

There are a lot of issues around immigration. Firstly, the IRCC filters receiving low skilled people, second most of them are located on main cities and provinces, most of the country is empty and finally if you are gonna keep your traditions here, do it inside your four walls. I begin to understand why Québec is willing to be independent.
Analyzes specific immigration policy issues (skill filtering, geographic distribution, cultural integration) and references Quebec's independence movement as comparative context.

It should be in the millions. End the TFW programs and one way tickets home for a thank you but we're done. One time taxpayer cost not monthly.

In my opinion, the conduct of certain IRCC agents and management reflects a serious lack of competence and accountability. Their ongoing actions—or in some cases, inaction—may rise beyond mere administrative negligence and could reasonably be viewed as violations of public trust. It’s my view that they should not only be subject to disciplinary review but also held legally accountable for any misconduct or breaches of duty that have harmed Canadian citizens.
Critiques government agency competence and accountability, arguing for disciplinary and legal consequences for misconduct.

I am not republican or democrat and not a blind supporter of any leader. I criticize Trump as well-BUT - No one damaged Canada as much as this guy! He did so bad that he had to resign- he’s not even worthy of being the leader of Canada! He is simply using the opportunity to cover his incompetence! PATHETIC! This guy is embarrassing himself and his country!
Systematically critiques Trudeau's governance record and competence, claiming he damaged Canada and is now using speeches to cover incompetence.

The temporary foreign worker program is what's wrong with Canada.. it incentivizes businesses to hire foreigners over citizens.. the government literally pays for over 50% of their wages... Tim Hortons abuses it the most

7:00 I checked a tax calculator for Canada, $2710 is not a valid number for $21/hour for 40 hours a week anywhere in the country. The closest I got was $2708. Also, I would love to see a bill breakdown.
"$9 for insurance" That is a bill...
"I work 8 and a half hours a day" So... That means you work 42 hours a week.
Challenges the accuracy of financial calculations presented in the video and requests transparency in data presentation.

There were two things that Canada had to do to avoid Trump's tariffs. Increase our Defense spending and stop the flow of drugs and illegal aliens entering the US thru Canada. Trudeau only talked about the drug issue. If Trudeau cancels the $ 40 Billion unsolicited contract to SNC Lavalin, and instead gives that $ 40 Billion to Canada's military to buy new weapons and train more soldiers Trump will, I am positive, immediately drop the tariffs against Canada!
Critiques Trudeau's policy response to tariffs and proposes alternative defense spending strategy to address Trump's demands.
