Anyone of sound mind, a leader, a government would want to continue to strengthen relationships with it's neighbors BUT instead, deliberately dismantle it and let it's citizens in both countries pay the price.

It's crazy that that city worker in the beginning was afraid to share literal facts about demographic changes in her city, for fear of, what, being called racist?? It's so insane! Facts, numbers, statistics cannot be racist. Racism comes from opinions. Not facts. When were scared to state indisputable facts, that is a huge problem! 3:39
Critiques self-censorship in public discourse about demographic data, arguing facts should be separable from racism accusations.

And the Liberals are still running our immigration system.
Critiques government ideology and immigration policy, arguing that economic growth assumptions underlying immigration are flawed.

Fentanyl is just an excuse for the tarriffs as only 0.2% of Fentanyl crosses the border into the U.S. It’s drug cartels from South America that are trafficking the majority of drugs as well as gangs in the U.S. as well. \n\nBut it’s telling that Trump just ignores the fact that Americans themselves have a huge opioid crisis or what he’s doing to stop it but instead he’s blaming Canada which is just BS!\n\nTrump is a traitor to American Allies!
Presents specific factual claim (0.2% fentanyl statistic) without evidence while critiquing tariff justification and policy logic.

Even if they are LEGIT asylum seekers, why aren't they paying for medical care? The only thing I could rationalize covering would be acute life saving treatment, not long term care (like chemo).

Retired canadians RNs served canada 25 to 35 yrs and can not get a Doctor. We are not training our own young canadians, look how many doctors trained in canada are foreign. Also the doctors that used to migrate in 70s, 80s 90s often British Scottish, Irish, South Africans with a different work ethic and most were surgeons and anesthesiologists or obstetricians. Great skill sets.
Commenter critiques immigration and healthcare policy, arguing Canada isn't training domestic doctors while noting historical immigrant doctors had better credentials and work ethic.

Just look at Trudeau’s new $4.6M estate in Quebec less than a year after out as PM. Good discussion & reminder to all Canadians how badly the Liberal government was under Trudeau & now Carney spending hundreds of thousands in flight catering no projects done. Liberal immigration really hurt affordability, GDP is failing and debt has doubled. The CDN economy is a disaster.
Criticizes Liberal government spending and immigration policy as causing economic deterioration, combining personal grievance with systemic critique.
