Trump is violating his own USMCA Trade agreement in place today. So when he wonders which numb nut put it in place he’s talking about himself. If he’s trying to point the finger at someone who fell asleep at the wheel for the trade deficit, there are multiple factors INCLUDING HIMSELF.
Detailed critique of Trump's trade policy and USMCA agreement violations with analytical reasoning.

Liberals have destroyed Canada. Wake up people. I’ll never vote for liberals. Carney is a bad omen. I can’t trust the liberal leadership. Vote for conservatives.

Let's not kid ourselves that Diab is the only CLUELESS Immigration Minister we've had under the Fiberals. They have ALL been incredibly stupid, rude and destructive.

Just 2 years ago she ran a program called, 'Alberta is Calling.' Smith lobbied the Federal Government to allow *double* the amount of immigrants Alberta could accept. arguing that Alberta’s "economic miracle" required a massive influx of labor. Ironically this immigration problem is something she lobbied and negotiated with Ottawa for. Her recent shift is just her way to point the finger at someone instead of recognizing her own failures; which created a 6.4 billion dollar deficit.
Detailed critique of political hypocrisy, documenting how a politician previously advocated for increased immigration before reversing position.

The first problem is that no country has a long range plan: where do they want to be on 20/50/100 years. The basic economic plan is for growth but this is not sustainable. Reduced birth rates mean that immigration is needed, if only to reduce the impact of an aging population and to reduce the demands on the young adult population. This should be aimed at getting to a sustainable state but no government is planning for it. They only plan for the current electoral cycle.
Critiques government lack of long-term planning and argues that immigration policy should be tied to sustainable economic goals rather than short-term electoral cycles.

Why is this dude still representing Canada? \n\nTwo months ago many of his key cabinets members resigned because Justin’s policies are destroying Canadians. Rightfully, he resigned. Dude needs to go away. Stop making Canada worse than what it has become under his horrendous leadership.\n\nThings happening:\n\nThe massive influx of foreigners, both legally and illegally into Canada.\n\nAffordable housing for native Canadians do not exist, people are leaving the country.\n\nHi mortgage payment or monthly rent are too high.\n\nFood prices are not coming down.\n\nSalaries are not keeping up with inflation.\n\nThe Canadian dollar keeps tanking.\n\nAs the leader of the country, he’s doing nothing to stop increasing violent crime.\n\nIncreasing amount of drugs in cities and suburbs.\n\nFinally, he’s pledging billions of dollars to Ukraine, when that money is needed at home.\n\nJustin is too emotional to deal with Trump.\n\nTrump complains about the trading balance between the two nations, $100 billion in favor of Canada.\n\nThe request is simple, import more American products, or export less products to America. But the imbalance has to stop.\n\nSame with Mexico, trading balance with Mexico is almost $200 billion in favor of Mexico. The imbalance has to stop. \n\nThe US economy is bleeding by trading with allies and partners, it’s fighting for its financial wellbeing. It is not some bs from the orange man, it is real.\n\nOf course Canada, Mexico, Europe and others want business as usual… and why wouldn’t they? ?
Comprehensive critique of Canadian leadership and policies across immigration, housing, economy, and international spending, with implicit call for resignation.

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.
Commenter approves of specific policy changes (foreign student cuts, tax cuts, NSF fee caps) and supports them with personal experience.
