These applicants were on a TEMPORARY student visa and a TEMPORARY work visa. Do not muddy the issue by terms like Racism, Genocide, Fairness, Persecution etc. All TEMPORARY holders must be traced and made to leave the country. In this digital age, comments by the various government agencies (IRCC, CBSA etc.) not being able to track the illegals is a lame excuse.
Critiques government agencies' inability to track and enforce removal of temporary visa holders, focusing on bureaucratic failure.

It is absolutely unacceptable that someone being paid over 300 thousand can't answer questions or follow along a basic conversation.

It’s Simple, Liberals care more for immigrants than it’s TRUE Canadians! Conservatives, care more for TRUE Canadians. One Canadian life is far more valuable than 100 immigrants. Liberals will give FREE money to immigrants for housing, food, and other necessities, but we have single CANADIAN mothers that are barely surviving. Liberals, you’re an absolute joke. I have zero respect for liberals. I only surround myself with intelligent thinkers. USA, Poland, & Hungary are the only countries I respect.
Criticizes government policy priorities, claiming differential treatment of immigrants versus Canadian citizens, with comparative references to USA, Poland, and Hungary.

Trudeau! Nobody likes you. You’re done. We want to vomit when you speak. You are a disgrace to this Country. You’ve ran our country into the gutter, killing hundreds of thousands of Canadian citizens with your reckless policies and corrupt agenda’s. Stop playing the victim you wounded narcissist. Canada deserves these tariffs. This is all on you. I pray daily that this country will be saved. The light keeps getting brighter as we inch closer to that election! Thank god for Pierre Poilievre!! And we love you Donald Trump!

In your next video don't forget to mention how businesses (small & large) get incentives via government subsidies to hire immigrants. Teenagers and uni students born here can't find jobs at fast food places anymore because those places are full of people who barely speak the language.

The problem is NOT that Indians are coming to Canada. The problem is when you come to Canada from ANY country you are expected to assimilate, and majority do not.

Trump's State of the Union address where he said that the primary role of government is to take care of their citizens. This basic role of government needs to be stated/retiterated in the HoC. It has become the opposite here. Canadian citizens are being taken for granted by the liberals. Their priority are non citizens.
Compares Canadian government priorities unfavorably to Trump's stated principles, arguing the government neglects citizens for non-citizens.

Québecois here. I cant wait for the AI french audio track to send this to my father. I keep telling him about how Canada is f***ed by immigration just like France and UK but he dont believe me. I explain to him that's because of the 101 law that make difficult for non-french speaker to come in Québec. Almost like a law for the preservation of the language and culture is a good thing.
Discusses Quebec's language preservation law (Bill 101) as immigration policy, comparing Canada's situation to France and UK, arguing restrictive policies are beneficial.

Mr. Trudeau, we've asked you to secure the border and stem the flow of drugs entering the U.S. But you want to cause chaos in our country. We don't appreciate you harming our country.

What about holding the officials accountable who processed and issued their visas in the first place? How did they get in? There’s no way their paperwork didn’t have any red flags. If there were truly no red flags, that means our system is broken or not competent enough to catch them and protect the safety and security of this nation. Or did we just lower the requirements, skip security checks, and issue the visas anyway? Now we have these criminals walking our streets and terrorizing citizens. How did they get guns? How broken is our system? Logically, something needs to make sense: either we severely compromised our processes and allowed this to happen, or we are seriously incompetent.
Critiques government visa processing systems and security checks while expressing concerns about system competence and public safety.
