Why were immigrants brought in? Answer that first! Who allowed it?? People go through a legal process, pay legal dues, wait with pride their turn to get entry to Canada to see themselves grouped with those who were allowed in free and demanding their cultural needs be met! And guess who bent over backwards!! It's painful people looking down upon you as hateful aliens! Stand up to policy makers and ask why that policy! They are busy with their shananigans adding votes to stay at helm while we spit venom!
Questions immigration policy decisions and differential treatment, urging accountability from policymakers while expressing frustration with preferential treatment.

As a Canadian, thank you for making this. I hope it’s clear to everyone how, while good people, the majority of interviewees in this video are taking advantage of our country because we’re “nice” and they aren’t able to sort things out in their own. The majority of these people aren’t highly educated and came in on student visas and you’ve got to wonder why our government allowed this. It’s made a lot of things worse for people who lived here already, including immigrants. No racism just frustration.
Critiques government immigration policy and student visa decisions while claiming not to be racist but expressing frustration about exploitation.

F Trudeau, he's ruined this country for the last 9yrs. He's the reason we can't survive the tariffs because he taxes the canadian citizens far more than any other country.

Trudeau is also a dictator. We would rather Canada pay tariffs than for US citizens to pay high taxes. It makes more sense. If the products are worth it, they will still sell.

Now they’re not gonna care about fentanyl coming into America and are just gonna leave it up to Mr. Trump to deal with it.

Dont worry, the courts will make sure they arent punished for their crimes and all become full citizens. If voters cared about the justice system, they wouldnt have re elected the same government.

Canadian here. Wake up Canadians. Many people are praising Trudeau for this speech. Don't. He is out as Liberal leader within the week. He doesn't have to follow through on anything he said. Plus, he just stated that he's smart enough to suggest that Trump just put a 25% tax on Canadian goods for Americans but he also thinks that you are dumb enough not to realize that he just put a 25% tax on Canadians for American goods. Trudeau basically created the situation for these tariffs (open border to let anyone come here). He loves this as he gets to take the apparent moral high ground for the first time in his life and wants this speech to be the way he is remembered rather than years of failing Canada. Forget about the last 9 years and vote Liberal if you are a fool.
Canadian commenter provides detailed critique of Trudeau's policies and political motives, with personal identity assertion ('Canadian here').
