What is this one sided, emotionally manipulative BS? "oh no, deporting people who aren't allowed to be here costs money!" Yes. Yes, maintaining our borders costs money. Being in Canada isn't a universal right.

Good balanced journalism. It showed the divide not just between those from india and others in Canada but the acceptance and community.
There are those that are taking advantage while there are many that are productive and positive members of the community.
The one common agreed upon idea is that canadian immigration needs to be tightened up so the posative people can get in and the people who would take advantage of or be criminals are kept outno matter what country they come from.
Commenter acknowledges balanced journalism and argues for tightened immigration policy to filter out criminals while accepting productive members, combining policy analysis with fairness principles.

It's too bad that Trudeau's Government did so little about fentanyl, also about our poorly-controlled border and destructive immigration non-policies for so long. Hence, driving Trump's scorched-earth policy (The Tariffs). That said, it blows me away that Trump was so vociferous about the Lawfare that was lined up against him in 2023-24, but he doesn't see that excess use of the power of the State is wrong and immoral in this Canadian and Mexican case. Trump only knows the right of might. Threats, coercion, bullying. He doesn't otherwise distinguish between right and wrong; only about what is good for him and his ego. The Tariffs will drive very bad business outcomes in the US. Including, inflation, and lost jobs. The Stock Markets are already tanking. At this particular stage, his ego will not allow him to back off, that's my prediction. Much pain for all Americans (and obviously for Canadians) will first have to ensue. Canada must receive its spanking, and Donald will have to save face. Ultimately, he'll invent some dishonest pretense to put the genie in the bottle, while the economic damage to all sides will be severe. But ... Why would he care?
Extended analysis criticizing both Trudeau's immigration policies and Trump's tariff approach, with moral judgment about abuse of state power.

I feel that the problem is the Trudeau government and the NDP allowed to many immigrants into Canada without doing any background research on their status and now we have a huge influx of criminals from many countries. These people have no interest whatsoever in assimilating into our society, they are only interested in taking advantage of our country and generosity.
Criticizes government immigration policy and lack of background checks, makes unverified claims about criminals and lack of assimilation, and expresses fear about the influx.
