He obviously deals with a lot of trolls and hate, unfortunately I think it has made him less capable of discerning between good and bad faith criticism. So he's becoming less and less likely or capable of realizing when he's wrong or far less informed on a topic than he believes himself to be and if people push back against it they become a false positive for hate/trolling. I have become frustrated with him over time. He's very clearly capable of recognizing and pointing out the ignorance of say some Rightwing individuals who have fallen victim to misinformation about Trans issues.

Thank you for this. I'm really afraid for our future. So many people hate Trudeau, and don't understand why. You're allowed to not like him, but stop blaming him for things that are provincial, not federal.
There are a lot of very valid reasons to criticize Trudeau. He may not be as insane as PP but he still prioritizes corporate profits over the needs of Canadians. Never forget they pulled a bait a switch with electoral reform. Trudeau has also openly admitted he doesn't want housing prices to fall. PP is a slimy git spreading BS propaganda, but that doesn't mean that Trudeau or the liberals are good for this country.
Agree, I don't really understand why people think Trudeau has caused higher inflation, and why no one seems to care about us finally getting dental care or pharmacare which is AWESOME.
You're absolutely right. I've asked at least ten people what they find so bad about Trudeau, and either they couldn't explain, or they brought up issues that were actually provincial matters.
I think most Canadians hate being referred to as Americans, lol. We're Canadian or British first. But yeah. I can see more people suddenly leaning to wanting canada to do certain political things like the US does... which is sad, lol. Well usually sad anyways. Usa isn't always wrong about everything. Sometimes just behind 😅
we also can't vote for justin trudeau. PP is not the USA. wanting better smarter policies is canadian. the party that gave us a bill of rights... the party that gave our indigenous ppls the right to practice their cultural ways that liberal made illegal.... the party that made residential schools not mandatory - all of which liberals had done. the party that worked with the NDP to give us universal healthcare,,, the party that gave us unemployment insurance. the party that today would give us a gay female deputy PM - there on her own merit and not for show.... are very noble things. justin is a wonderful campaigner.... but he's is a horrrible horrible leader.

Thank you for talking about canadian issues. Miss information and sensationalism is really a growing trend in Canada. I really don't think people even know how their government works, there's too much Canadians following American politics and less at home
@@Nephalem2002 I think we actually need the PPC, to split the vote on the right the same way it's split on the left. The only reason we have a conservative government ever is because the right is united in a single party while the left is split in 4.
@@kmacgregor6361nah. We need em and more parties. The less parties, the closer we get to US. Best thing that could happen would be niether liberals or cons win this next time..i dont give a fuck who does, so long as they have to form a coalition minority government. I prefer all governments wearing the choke chain of forced cooperation. So no one 'team' gets to make all the decisions. Because people are dumb and vote team not policy. Until all of us, every canadian treats voting as a responsibility requiring advanced citizenship (an educated and well informed populace)
The comments here are just ridiculous. Somebody please do your homework and read about the history. Now look at what Trudeau's cult is and it is nothing to do with liberals. The best way to keep our sovereignty is not allow Trudeau to hand us over to the WEF. PP wants control over the criminals coming here and wants us to have businesses that are taxed to death. NDP or Liberals dauh!
Fellow Canadian that just found this channel, I am really glad others are speaking up on the impacts that are affecting the Canadian government. I only just became eligible to vote last election and I know the next one os around the corner, and i want to be informed before things get too crazy, so thank you.
A lot of Canadians come from lots of different ethnic backgrounds - wanting less people in the country, when people here are struggling... that's not a race thing, that's a resources thing
@@jocelynsmyth6604 Yes. That doesn't mean it isn't expressed racially (unfortunately). But it stems from everyone essentially playing a game of musical chairs, except the consequence is whether or not you'll have somewhere to sleep at night. That's pretty wild.
@@jocelynsmyth6604 people aren't struggling because of immigration, they're struggling because our government refuses to actually help, they've failed us over and over and they're trying to turn you against immigrants to distract you from it.
PeePee would statistically make things even worse for Canadians, but majority of Canadians value emotions over facts. The Trudeau blame seems more important than reality to many. Alberta has been doing worse with UCP policies than NDP policies did, but majority of Albertans don't notice facts.
Saskatchewan has also been suffering for 18 years under the Saskatchewan Party, the education system is failing, the healthcare system is failing, Scott Moe only has support in the rural areas, the Urban sectors are all NDP
People forget that Loblaws and other big grocery chains were found guilty in June 2023 of price fixing on bread (and fined $500 million). This is a company owned by one of the richest men in Canada. An elite, if you will. But somehow “Trudeau” and the “Liberals,” not these wealthy, elite corporate actors, are why prices are high.
It’s neither Trudeau’s fault nor is it ‘billionaires’. You’re doing the same thing the conservatives do where they look for a simple explanation for complex issues but just directing it towards a different enemy. If greedy billionaires *cause* inflation to grocery prices just cuz they feel like it, then what are they doing during times of low inflation? Being generous? Were billionaire owners of corporations not greedy back in 2019 but then started being greedy coincidentally lining up with the pandemic? Of course not. Market forces (due to Covid lockdowns and manufacturing delays) have driven cost of goods up all over the world in a way that is beyond the control of any group of individuals and tbh even beyond the control of any government leaders
Absolutely. But, just as in the US, MAPLE MAGA has no basic understanding of anything. So they vote AGAINST what they are told to hate, but also against their interests.
the most ironic thing you miss is that justin trudeau is in bed with the weston family. propaganda is only propaganda if the allegations are false. PP says nothing that i have seen that isn't correct. unless you would like to demonstrate any examples of wrong allegations from PP?
Or things that fall under the jurisdiction of the provinces like health care and crime. And most of our provinces have been under conservative leaders for some time now.
Great video! Small note: Canada doesn't have free speech, rather freedom of expression. Basically, we can't just say anything and use that defense as we can be held liable. Just saw a creator talking about it recently and wanted to point it out as I'm hoping you continue with these kinds of videos
PP, also known as Timbit Trump, is going to win unless a miracle happens. Justinder doesn't deserve to win again, and the writing is on the wall. Brownface wearing clown gotta go.
@@slenderfoxx3797 I think Trudeau should hold off from stepping down and the NDP and Bloc should keep him afloat for the first bit of Trump's adminstration. If there's any chance people will want to keep Trudeau to give Trump the finger I'd want to explore that option. I'm an NDP supporter as well, but we'll have to see what happens in the next six months.
Thank you so much for this information. I literally rely on birth control to not bleed out because my period doesn't stop unless I'm on birth control. So the fact Pierre was seen supporting the loss of free contraceptives is terrifying. And don't even get me started on the immigration stuff. They help us so much, they don't deserve the ridicule they get. Just, thank you for talking about this. Thank you so much. ❤
Not trying to be rude, just a discussion, because I work in Canadian health care (a system under a lot of strain) - if people are coming here to work and co tribute, that's one thing. Lots of people live here under a weird status for years, don't contribute, and run a lot of nonsense. Canadians don't even know what jobs we need filled, maybe we should focus on getting info out to the people we already have here (also I'm pro birth control amd don't want any nonsense regarding women's health, because we need it, but we have an extreme lack of any education here, it's a problem)
@@jocelynsmyth6604 You're correct that those people exist. You're incorrect, however, that there are many of them. They are, in fact, a tiny proportion of Canadian society, you just happen to be in a position to witness them (or people you suspect might be them). Another issue you need to consider is the price in terms of both actual funds and breaches of everyone's privacy (i.e. CONSTANT tracking, etc.) it would cost to route this out outweighs the benefit of getting rid of what are ultimately negligible levels of abuse/waste or however you'd like to term it.
@cweretelnyk respectfully, something I see and experience is obviously going to affect to my viewpoint, same as yourself. If you want to live in any country, you should contribute to that country. We many people already here, trying to get their families here, being put through a million hoops. If the people in the immigration offices don't have clear, concise plans and requirements, there is a mess. And we have a mess. Look at the food banks, more and more people are using them, and less and less people can contribute to them because of the cost of groceries, etc. I love that Canada is so multicultural, but if we can't take care of the people already here, all the systems need to be re-evaluated. Edit: also, it's not 'who I think they are', health care procedures like an ultrasound are hundreds of dollars, and I won't get into non-ohip service provider nonsense or stuff I've seen people try to do. I work in healthcare and do believe ohip is a good thing, but if you want to be in Canada, you should work and contribute, or your sponsor should have you covered, in the case of bringing a parent over, in the context that maybe they contribute by watching the children of the sponsor.
@@jocelynsmyth6604 also respectfully, I feel you largely missed my point. Firstly, I genuinely wasn't implying racism here (because I *think* that's how you perceived it), I simply meant that unless you actually hear someone admit that they're doing what you say they are, you can't know. Again, I FULLY ACKNOWLEDGE that these people exist, and this does happen, I am not remotely questioning that. Part of my point was that you SHOULD (we also should) balance our subjective experience with more logical data points. Yes, we have a bit of a mess, but it's not due to the few people who fly in to use our hospitals. The immigration offices DO have clear plans and requirements. There is extensive legislation they are bound by. Further, without immigrants, Canada will be like Japan, as our birth rate is below the replacement rate. The food bank issue seems to have a lot to do with the education sector relying on international students bringing in tuition funds, and then someone turning those students on to our food banks. I'm genuinely happy that that's going to stop as that's been a bit tragic. Again, my point now, as the first time around, personal experience must be balanced by the bigger picture. There are many things we may or may not like, but upon further examination, they may appear like the lesser of two evils, actually logical, entirely how we perceived them, etc.
@@cweretelnyk no, I got your point, and race has nothing to do with it, so how you got that, I have no idea. I don't think you and I are going to come to an agreement on perception, and that's fine, we don't have to, and we no longer have to engage in discourse about it.
I’ve been loving your videos!! So many people are mislead by misinformation and the consequences of that are really harmful. I’m nervous about the future of our country, especially with the uptick of hate towards minority groups😕
Ive been loving theses videos you've made about Canadian politics. A video suggestion, a breakdown of the current political parties in Canada with a little history about the parties and what the parties plans are going in the federal elections in Oct 2025 ❤
Ive always been proud of the fact that Canada is a nation of immigrants. I will always be proud of that, however the government is to blame for not setting up the infrastructure to accomodate everyone. Why are our streets in disrepair, transportation is archaic, education system overwhelmed, health care system stretched to the max, no housing. We have all this land but the planning for a larger population seems to be on the back burner for some reason. These people in charge are making life so difficult when it doesn't have to be, they are being selfish and self serving and immigrants will get the blame. Canadians are smarter than that and I hope we remember that when things get tougher. Thanks for this video!
Agreed! Immigrants bring so much to our Country. The problem is that the Government isn't investing in the things you mentioned. They are letting too many people in without addressing the current state. For example, I've been waiting 10 months for a referral to a specialist. They need to work on repairing our healthcare system among many other issues. I would like to hold them accountable for their lack of action (both Provincially and Federally)... I feel like I don't have a voice or say in it.
the issues you brought up are Provincial issues. What province are you in? I'm in Alberta, where we are getting gouged left and right, because our conservative/UCP government has embraced libertarian ideology.
@@victoriadev I've only had positive experiences with the health care system but I know I'm not the norm. There is so much room for growth, we have so much space and so much people willing to go into the industry (immigrants included) but where is the money and the incentives. I feel like Canada is always playing catch up when in fact we should be a leader in medical technology. It just feels like we are still hiding behind the states when in fact we should be cutting out own path as much as we can.
True. But the solution is not electing someone (Poilievre) who will make life more difficult for the working class, while solving NONE of the issues you mentioned.
As a Canadian black woman who's always known, I need to start lockin. I'm on my knees. Thank you. Im so worried I need to know what's coming Edit: Do you think you could talk about ways to change things in our own communities. How do we get the most people informed?
Commenting to boost in the algorithm. I’m glad someone is covering this, as a Canadian myself I really don’t understand our politics, I don’t understand any of it tbh so i definitely find myself in the category of ‘why should I vote?’ Thanks for making simple digesting videos of stuff like this and keep going!
So true, Canada is not that different to the us especially when it comes to making rich people richer at the expense of others. And to think the PC party and liberal politicians claim to be against that is hypocrisy!
Unfortunately like the US these sources are drowned by people wanting revenge on those who have their sh*# together,,, they are on the ball 24/7 and never let up. They feel that it’s their time to shine.
I moved up here to BC from the States in 2014. I have already completed my permanent residency and citizenship processes. I have so much to share about my perspective, and realize maybe it’s time for me to hop back onto UA-cam and speak/share. Until then, this is my second video of yours I’ve watched and I appreciate your level headed critical thinking. I will subscribe.
just discovered your page, and already a big fan! I live in Ontario and was really rooting for Kamala to win - so depressed and anxious now about the state of the world - it will be good to keep following you in the next year :)
Thank goodness I found you. I've shared you with friends and family already. Awareness is so important. I sure hope we gain more and more channels like yours for Canadians.
I commented this above, and may at least partially answer your question: if you are curious about other folks on here and other platforms, here are some other suggestions: Boots on the Ground/Steve Boots, Sandy & Nora Talk Politics plus their spin off Daily News, Rachel Gilmore, Pam Palmater, and Mexie when she feels like it (which is less these days). I hope other folks see this comment and suggest more. I am always looking for canadian political content. Sometime We're in Hell does some Canadian commentary, same with Thought Slime. JJ McCullough does a lot but... he's a questionable source 6/10 times.
Your videos are such a breath of fresh air. Thank you so so much, we definitely need to keep a better eye and have a better understanding of our own politics before things get out of hand.
Hey!! Please keep up the Canadian political coverage. Now that the American election is over- I've realized I've heen sleeping on our own politics. I want to educate myself and channels like yours will be part of that 💕 Thank you for your content
This was really informative. I also realized I’m looking too much at USA and not enough at my own country’s politics. Would love more videos like this, and your other one about Canadians locking in and understanding their government(s).
I just found your page and am impressed with your political knowledge. Thank you for explaining what millions of people have no idea how the branches of government work.🙂👍
I'm literally so scared for my future. Thank you so much for your videos, as literacy rates drop and misinformation spreads, people unfortunately tend to turn to conservatism. We need a lot more leftist voices in mainstream media!
I subscribed because this is the second canadian political content vid I've seen from you now. I will be glad to stay if you keep that up. Thank you for this.
you hit the nail right on the head with this one. as it stands right now, PP does not answer any questions regarding his policies. if he were to get in, his true agenda with come out full force, ie Project 2025b. Canadians owe it to themselves to get educated on topics, policies and make independent choices... not just listening to what some guy on the internet has to say.
Found out about your channel the other day and im so happy. I really wanna be more educated in canadas politics especially because I’m going to be voting for the first time next year and I want to be well educated about who and why I vote for
i really appreciate the straight forward and digestible info on our Canadian Politics, i tend to get overwhelmed with the filler words and Political Jagran so thank you!
We are so connected to the U.S. economy that we are going to have a very rough ride. We don’t want the cultural poison spilling over to our country. I will fight it with every fibre of my being.
The absolute hypocrisy of people saying that Canada and the US have too many immigrants when both countries were 'built' on 'immigration'. I use the term immigration loosely because Indigenous people in Canada did not cede their land, their land is unceded. Homeland security since 1497 in Canada and 1492 in the US, folks. If you are not Indigenous in Canada and the US, then you are an immigrant, or your parents were, or your ancestors were immigrants. By plane, or by boat, simple as that.
i think most conservatives like myself arent against immigration, they're against bringing immigrants when there's not enough housing. we have a homelessness and housing crisis, its not really a good time to keep bringing in millions of immigrants when many canadians cant afford to eat and pay rent
Thank you thank you thank you. To many people in my circle want to bury their heads and say it’s not happening here. Your video was a great analysis against that!
Thank you!!! As a fellow Canadian, I see this weird American-ification of our political and social thoughts here. I don't want what is happening in the states to trickle over to here, I don't want the idea of taking away my very rights as a human being to be casual conversation as it has started to be in some places. People need to look at the history of our politics and educate themselves so as not to keep ruining ourselves.
Thanks sis. Coming from B.C. where more than one in three people are Indigenous or of colour, it's shocking what I hear some people believe and it's all demonstrably wrong and from American social media. We DO have a separate culture from those guys. It's like having to resist colonization through social media. For all our racism and faults as a nation, we do not have the exact same types of default racial divides as the U.S. I pray we'll keep it that way.
the point about social media blocking our news media is so valid, i never thought about how it's contributing to spreading misinformation as well. thanks for the video!
I'm so glad I found your channel. With the federal elections next year, I need help informing my friends and family about how Poilièvre is not the solution. I found a couple of other channels that give some info on canadian politics but the majority of their videos are still about american politics. I'd like to be as prepared for our elections as I was for the one in the US... although nothing could have prepared me for the results😉
I'm glad I've found your page. We really need more focus on Canadian politics online. Thankyou for what you're doing and keep up the great work! 😊
Thank you so much for the kind words!! I truly appreciate that ❤

- Saw Alberta gas prices increase 33% during his 8 years in government, compared to a 30% increase during Trudeau's 8 years in government
- Said he would limit MPs to two terms, although he has now had seven
- Mocked Prime Minister Trudeau's teaching career, even though the only job he ever had was a call centre collections agent
- Staged an "Axe the Tax" campaign of distraction over a rebatable 17¢ climate initiative as the oil companies broke records with over $50 Billion in annual profit
- Got a $3 million image makeover including contact lenses, makeup and a girdle, and removed his personal profile from the WEF website
Hey do you mind adding sources when you get the chance? Internet trolls and proud boys are coming
my god.... this is an echo chamber of the ill informed.
We know, but if wasn’t Poildelievre I’d probably think about it, him no way, he’s a fu#* up smart a*#.
@@nickyalousakis3851 Could you point out the falsehoods please, Not seeing anything that isn't already known.
@nickyalousakis3851 what specifically is misinformed in the poster's comment?
This is the first time YT has fed me vids on Canadian politics. What a breath of fresh air ❤
Thank you for talking about canadian issues. Miss information and sensationalism is really a growing trend in Canada. I really don't think people even know how their government works, there's too much Canadians following American politics and less at home
Lol I'm not even Canadian but it's nice to hear info about Canadian issues - hello from Ireland.
If we wanna keep our sovereignty, VOTE. ANYTHING. BUT. CONSERVATIVE. OR PPC.
Are the PCP still around? I thought they were Poliveire's posse...
@@Nephalem2002 I think we actually need the PPC, to split the vote on the right the same way it's split on the left. The only reason we have a conservative government ever is because the right is united in a single party while the left is split in 4.
@@kmacgregor6361nah. We need em and more parties. The less parties, the closer we get to US.
Best thing that could happen would be niether liberals or cons win this next time..i dont give a fuck who does, so long as they have to form a coalition minority government.
I prefer all governments wearing the choke chain of forced cooperation. So no one 'team' gets to make all the decisions. Because people are dumb and vote team not policy. Until all of us, every canadian treats voting as a responsibility requiring advanced citizenship (an educated and well informed populace)
The comments here are just ridiculous. Somebody please do your homework and read about the history. Now look at what Trudeau's cult is and it is nothing to do with liberals. The best way to keep our sovereignty is not allow Trudeau to hand us over to the WEF. PP wants control over the criminals coming here and wants us to have businesses that are taxed to death. NDP or Liberals dauh!
Conservative getting my vote
When the US sneezes Canada catches a cold.
Yep
Fellow Canadian that just found this channel, I am really glad others are speaking up on the impacts that are affecting the Canadian government. I only just became eligible to vote last election and I know the next one os around the corner, and i want to be informed before things get too crazy, so thank you.
this video is like a breath of fresh air. The rise in bigotry, anti immigrant rhetoric, transphobia etc. is scary as hell in this country.
There used to be unanimous support for our pride parade. The bigots stayed quiet.
A lot of Canadians come from lots of different ethnic backgrounds - wanting less people in the country, when people here are struggling... that's not a race thing, that's a resources thing
@@jocelynsmyth6604 Yes. That doesn't mean it isn't expressed racially (unfortunately). But it stems from everyone essentially playing a game of musical chairs, except the consequence is whether or not you'll have somewhere to sleep at night. That's pretty wild.
@@jocelynsmyth6604 people aren't struggling because of immigration, they're struggling because our government refuses to actually help, they've failed us over and over and they're trying to turn you against immigrants to distract you from it.
PeePee would statistically make things even worse for Canadians, but majority of Canadians value emotions over facts. The Trudeau blame seems more important than reality to many. Alberta has been doing worse with UCP policies than NDP policies did, but majority of Albertans don't notice facts.
As an Alberta resident, this is true. UCP is more concerned about American values then anything else. Fuck Danielle Smith.
Saskatchewan has also been suffering for 18 years under the Saskatchewan Party, the education system is failing, the healthcare system is failing, Scott Moe only has support in the rural areas, the Urban sectors are all NDP
I just shared on Bluesky, this and your other video needs to go viral!!! Thank you for putting this out there.
Conservative propaganda blames Trudeau for the things that conservative billionaires are doing to Canadians (ie grocery prices)
People forget that Loblaws and other big grocery chains were found guilty in June 2023 of price fixing on bread (and fined $500 million). This is a company owned by one of the richest men in Canada. An elite, if you will. But somehow “Trudeau” and the “Liberals,” not these wealthy, elite corporate actors, are why prices are high.
It’s neither Trudeau’s fault nor is it ‘billionaires’. You’re doing the same thing the conservatives do where they look for a simple explanation for complex issues but just directing it towards a different enemy.
If greedy billionaires *cause* inflation to grocery prices just cuz they feel like it, then what are they doing during times of low inflation? Being generous?
Were billionaire owners of corporations not greedy back in 2019 but then started being greedy coincidentally lining up with the pandemic? Of course not.
Market forces (due to Covid lockdowns and manufacturing delays) have driven cost of goods up all over the world in a way that is beyond the control of any group of individuals and tbh even beyond the control of any government leaders
Absolutely. But, just as in the US, MAPLE MAGA has no basic understanding of anything. So they vote AGAINST what they are told to hate, but also against their interests.
the most ironic thing you miss is that justin trudeau is in bed with the weston family. propaganda is only propaganda if the allegations are false. PP says nothing that i have seen that isn't correct. unless you would like to demonstrate any examples of wrong allegations from PP?
Or things that fall under the jurisdiction of the provinces like health care and crime. And most of our provinces have been under conservative leaders for some time now.
Great video! Small note: Canada doesn't have free speech, rather freedom of expression. Basically, we can't just say anything and use that defense as we can be held liable. Just saw a creator talking about it recently and wanted to point it out as I'm hoping you continue with these kinds of videos
Stop Poilievre NOW before it's too late. We don't want a Trump Lite wannabe here.
Justin Trudeau needs to step down for liberals to win. I vote NDP currently though.
PP, also known as Timbit Trump, is going to win unless a miracle happens. Justinder doesn't deserve to win again, and the writing is on the wall. Brownface wearing clown gotta go.
You think Trump was a landslide? Wait and see what is coming for lefties in Canada!
You think Trump was a landslide? Wait and what is going to happen next year in Canada.. Blame lefties for all of this
@@slenderfoxx3797 I think Trudeau should hold off from stepping down and the NDP and Bloc should keep him afloat for the first bit of Trump's adminstration. If there's any chance people will want to keep Trudeau to give Trump the finger I'd want to explore that option. I'm an NDP supporter as well, but we'll have to see what happens in the next six months.

Just found your channel, I do agree that we need to focus more on Canadian politics. Thank you for all the great work!
Thank you so much for this information. I literally rely on birth control to not bleed out because my period doesn't stop unless I'm on birth control. So the fact Pierre was seen supporting the loss of free contraceptives is terrifying. And don't even get me started on the immigration stuff. They help us so much, they don't deserve the ridicule they get. Just, thank you for talking about this. Thank you so much. ❤
Not trying to be rude, just a discussion, because I work in Canadian health care (a system under a lot of strain) - if people are coming here to work and co tribute, that's one thing. Lots of people live here under a weird status for years, don't contribute, and run a lot of nonsense. Canadians don't even know what jobs we need filled, maybe we should focus on getting info out to the people we already have here (also I'm pro birth control amd don't want any nonsense regarding women's health, because we need it, but we have an extreme lack of any education here, it's a problem)
@@jocelynsmyth6604 You're correct that those people exist. You're incorrect, however, that there are many of them. They are, in fact, a tiny proportion of Canadian society, you just happen to be in a position to witness them (or people you suspect might be them). Another issue you need to consider is the price in terms of both actual funds and breaches of everyone's privacy (i.e. CONSTANT tracking, etc.) it would cost to route this out outweighs the benefit of getting rid of what are ultimately negligible levels of abuse/waste or however you'd like to term it.
@cweretelnyk respectfully, something I see and experience is obviously going to affect to my viewpoint, same as yourself. If you want to live in any country, you should contribute to that country. We many people already here, trying to get their families here, being put through a million hoops. If the people in the immigration offices don't have clear, concise plans and requirements, there is a mess. And we have a mess. Look at the food banks, more and more people are using them, and less and less people can contribute to them because of the cost of groceries, etc. I love that Canada is so multicultural, but if we can't take care of the people already here, all the systems need to be re-evaluated.
Edit: also, it's not 'who I think they are', health care procedures like an ultrasound are hundreds of dollars, and I won't get into non-ohip service provider nonsense or stuff I've seen people try to do. I work in healthcare and do believe ohip is a good thing, but if you want to be in Canada, you should work and contribute, or your sponsor should have you covered, in the case of bringing a parent over, in the context that maybe they contribute by watching the children of the sponsor.
@@jocelynsmyth6604 also respectfully, I feel you largely missed my point. Firstly, I genuinely wasn't implying racism here (because I *think* that's how you perceived it), I simply meant that unless you actually hear someone admit that they're doing what you say they are, you can't know. Again, I FULLY ACKNOWLEDGE that these people exist, and this does happen, I am not remotely questioning that. Part of my point was that you SHOULD (we also should) balance our subjective experience with more logical data points. Yes, we have a bit of a mess, but it's not due to the few people who fly in to use our hospitals.
The immigration offices DO have clear plans and requirements. There is extensive legislation they are bound by. Further, without immigrants, Canada will be like Japan, as our birth rate is below the replacement rate.
The food bank issue seems to have a lot to do with the education sector relying on international students bringing in tuition funds, and then someone turning those students on to our food banks. I'm genuinely happy that that's going to stop as that's been a bit tragic.
Again, my point now, as the first time around, personal experience must be balanced by the bigger picture. There are many things we may or may not like, but upon further examination, they may appear like the lesser of two evils, actually logical, entirely how we perceived them, etc.
@@cweretelnyk no, I got your point, and race has nothing to do with it, so how you got that, I have no idea. I don't think you and I are going to come to an agreement on perception, and that's fine, we don't have to, and we no longer have to engage in discourse about it.
I’ve been loving your videos!! So many people are mislead by misinformation and the consequences of that are really harmful. I’m nervous about the future of our country, especially with the uptick of hate towards minority groups😕
Ive been loving theses videos you've made about Canadian politics. A video suggestion, a breakdown of the current political parties in Canada with a little history about the parties and what the parties plans are going in the federal elections in Oct 2025 ❤
Great idea 💡
Ive always been proud of the fact that Canada is a nation of immigrants. I will always be proud of that, however the government is to blame for not setting up the infrastructure to accomodate everyone. Why are our streets in disrepair, transportation is archaic, education system overwhelmed, health care system stretched to the max, no housing. We have all this land but the planning for a larger population seems to be on the back burner for some reason.
These people in charge are making life so difficult when it doesn't have to be, they are being selfish and self serving and immigrants will get the blame. Canadians are smarter than that and I hope we remember that when things get tougher.
Thanks for this video!
Agreed! Immigrants bring so much to our Country. The problem is that the Government isn't investing in the things you mentioned. They are letting too many people in without addressing the current state. For example, I've been waiting 10 months for a referral to a specialist. They need to work on repairing our healthcare system among many other issues. I would like to hold them accountable for their lack of action (both Provincially and Federally)... I feel like I don't have a voice or say in it.
the issues you brought up are Provincial issues. What province are you in? I'm in Alberta, where we are getting gouged left and right, because our conservative/UCP government has embraced libertarian ideology.
@@JS-hw8ve I'm in Ontario... also Conservative.
@@victoriadev I've only had positive experiences with the health care system but I know I'm not the norm. There is so much room for growth, we have so much space and so much people willing to go into the industry (immigrants included) but where is the money and the incentives.
I feel like Canada is always playing catch up when in fact we should be a leader in medical technology. It just feels like we are still hiding behind the states when in fact we should be cutting out own path as much as we can.
True. But the solution is not electing someone (Poilievre) who will make life more difficult for the working class, while solving NONE of the issues you mentioned.
Found your channel from your previous vid on Canadian politics, keep up the great work! Much love from a fellow Ontarian!
You are a god send for Canadian politics. Thank you so much and I will help to promote your channel in any way I can.
Pollievre has no concept of economics. Educate yourself and take a look at his past voting & political history. Haper and him endorsed Trump.
So trudeau has a good concept of economics?
@@ACURACALABAR11 that's not what was said
Who among Singh, Trudeau or Polievre has the best grasp on economics then? @@gentlefeather
Would never vote conservative
@@YVR_Gooner clearly NOT Poilievre
I'm happy I found this. It's so difficult finding any videos about Canadian issues that aren't kissing Poilivere's ass 😞
We need more voices like yours. Thanks for your your honest information.
I'm glad to have happened upon your channel. Thanks for sharing and explaining.
As a Canadian black woman who's always known, I need to start lockin. I'm on my knees.
Thank you. Im so worried I need to know what's coming
Edit: Do you think you could talk about ways to change things in our own communities. How do we get the most people informed?
bless ur page queen, already sharing it to all my friends. 2025 we will not be passive
being passive allowed justin to remain in ottawa.
@@nickyalousakis3851 hilarious
Thank you for bringing these issues to light! We NEED to be talking about this, or we will be a Canadian version of the USA. I am scared!
Commenting to boost in the algorithm. I’m glad someone is covering this, as a Canadian myself I really don’t understand our politics, I don’t understand any of it tbh so i definitely find myself in the category of ‘why should I vote?’ Thanks for making simple digesting videos of stuff like this and keep going!
So true, Canada is not that different to the us especially when it comes to making rich people richer at the expense of others. And to think the PC party and liberal politicians claim to be against that is hypocrisy!
Keep up the good work. Your analysis is really thoughtful and needed especially with respect to Canadian politics.
Love your channel. Canadians need channels like yours to keep us informed about our own politics.
Unfortunately like the US these sources are drowned by people wanting revenge on those who have their sh*# together,,, they are on the ball 24/7 and never let up. They feel that it’s their time to shine.
Thank you for Canadian politics content ❤ much needed.
I am a Black American that’s in the process of moving to Montreal. Trust me, Canada, you do not want to go down the road that us Americans have.
Prepare yourself seeing bike lanes everywhere and Orange traffic cones as part of the city's decorations, but welcome here
@ Thank you. Im looking forward to living in your beautiful city.
I moved up here to BC from the States in 2014. I have already completed my permanent residency and citizenship processes. I have so much to share about my perspective, and realize maybe it’s time for me to hop back onto UA-cam and speak/share.
Until then, this is my second video of yours I’ve watched and I appreciate your level headed critical thinking. I will subscribe.
just discovered your page, and already a big fan! I live in Ontario and was really rooting for Kamala to win - so depressed and anxious now about the state of the world - it will be good to keep following you in the next year :)
This lady is really good!
UA-cam fed me conservative contents on Canadian politics all the time and finally!!! I found you❤
New sub! I'm just West of the GTA. Great to find you. I'm always looking to diversify my feed, and support intelligent and thoughtful creators.
Thank goodness I found you. I've shared you with friends and family already. Awareness is so important. I sure hope we gain more and more channels like yours for Canadians.
Thank you Queen! Great job yet again
Thank you for the information! We definitely need more political awareness in Canada. Do you have any good news sources I can look into?
I commented this above, and may at least partially answer your question: if you are curious about other folks on here and other platforms, here are some other suggestions: Boots on the Ground/Steve Boots, Sandy & Nora Talk Politics plus their spin off Daily News, Rachel Gilmore, Pam Palmater, and Mexie when she feels like it (which is less these days). I hope other folks see this comment and suggest more. I am always looking for canadian political content. Sometime We're in Hell does some Canadian commentary, same with Thought Slime. JJ McCullough does a lot but... he's a questionable source 6/10 times.
@@V1sual3y3z Thank you! I'll check them out!
Press Progress and Cult Mtl are good news sources
The Rover Media sometimes cover politics.
Cbc.
Your videos are such a breath of fresh air. Thank you so so much, we definitely need to keep a better eye and have a better understanding of our own politics before things get out of hand.
I just wanted to say this is now the second time I have seen one of your videos, and I think that you are a wonderful young lady!
Hey!! Please keep up the Canadian political coverage. Now that the American election is over- I've realized I've heen sleeping on our own politics. I want to educate myself and channels like yours will be part of that 💕
Thank you for your content
Keep speaking Canadian politics and it would help to break down what each party has done for our up coming election.
Canadian in Montreal right here! Thanks for the breakdown! Respect
Thank you for educating us.
Thank you for speaking out about this.
I'm happy I found your channel, more people need to hear this
Great content queen! With the upcoming canadian election we're gonna have to work twice as hard to ensure we don't walk the same path as america
Thank you for speaking on our politics! I hope you continue and others as well. We need more of this.
i can’t even begin to describe how IMPORTANT your videos are!!! pls keep the conversation going 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Depressing but refreshing! Thanks for speaking up! I hope you get lots of views!
This was really informative. I also realized I’m looking too much at USA and not enough at my own country’s politics. Would love more videos like this, and your other one about Canadians locking in and understanding their government(s).
Thanks so much for educating Canadians! Your channel needs to blow up!
I just found your page and am impressed with your political knowledge. Thank you for explaining what millions of people have no idea how the branches of government work.🙂👍
I'm literally so scared for my future. Thank you so much for your videos, as literacy rates drop and misinformation spreads, people unfortunately tend to turn to conservatism. We need a lot more leftist voices in mainstream media!
Thanks so much for this video you nailed it !! I hope Canadians are paying attention to this and whats happening in the states!!
I subscribed because this is the second canadian political content vid I've seen from you now. I will be glad to stay if you keep that up. Thank you for this.
you hit the nail right on the head with this one. as it stands right now, PP does not answer any questions regarding his policies. if he were to get in, his true agenda with come out full force, ie Project 2025b. Canadians owe it to themselves to get educated on topics, policies and make independent choices... not just listening to what some guy on the internet has to say.
Found out about your channel the other day and im so happy. I really wanna be more educated in canadas politics especially because I’m going to be voting for the first time next year and I want to be well educated about who and why I vote for
Love that you came up in my suggestions. Thank you.
Thank you , I agree with your thoughts.
i really appreciate the straight forward and digestible info on our Canadian Politics, i tend to get overwhelmed with the filler words and Political Jagran so thank you!
I really appreciate the work you put into this. Great video. Subscribed!
We are so connected to the U.S. economy that we are going to have a very rough ride. We don’t want the cultural poison spilling over to our country. I will fight it with every fibre of my being.
Let's form a focus group, strategize, and start redirecting this misinformation before it's too late. If you're in, I'm ready to go.
How do we organize?
I would be interested in seeing more videos on Canadian politics from you, especially in this style.
Subscribed right away. There's not enough Canadian political content! Good work!
Thank you😌😌😌
The absolute hypocrisy of people saying that Canada and the US have too many immigrants when both countries were 'built' on 'immigration'. I use the term immigration loosely because Indigenous people in Canada did not cede their land, their land is unceded. Homeland security since 1497 in Canada and 1492 in the US, folks. If you are not Indigenous in Canada and the US, then you are an immigrant, or your parents were, or your ancestors were immigrants. By plane, or by boat, simple as that.
100%
i think most conservatives like myself arent against immigration, they're against bringing immigrants when there's not enough housing. we have a homelessness and housing crisis, its not really a good time to keep bringing in millions of immigrants when many canadians cant afford to eat and pay rent
Thank you for this.
Another great video, love this!
I'm glad I found your channel.
Thank you thank you thank you. To many people in my circle want to bury their heads and say it’s not happening here. Your video was a great analysis against that!
I appreciate the video, thanks for your effort 😊
Your recent posts on Canadian politics are exactly what I’ve been looking for. Thank you.
Thank you for doing Canadian politics!!
And for also discussing the USA's influence on us. So crazy these days.
Excellent vid! You explained things perfectly.
Thank you!!❤❤❤
Spot on analysis here. So glad I found this channel.
Glad I found you. Comments on Canadian media clips on YT are vile.
Thank you for these videos! I’m glad to hear more about Canadian politics
All really great points! Thanks for this video!
Thank you for this video!! Keep doing what you're doing.
Very well said😊
👏👏👏 Thank you ! This is very informative and clear explanation of what's happening in the US can affect Canada !
Great content! Canadians need to focus on our own politics.
Thank you!!! As a fellow Canadian, I see this weird American-ification of our political and social thoughts here. I don't want what is happening in the states to trickle over to here, I don't want the idea of taking away my very rights as a human being to be casual conversation as it has started to be in some places. People need to look at the history of our politics and educate themselves so as not to keep ruining ourselves.
Thank you for this intel.
Thanks sis. Coming from B.C. where more than one in three people are Indigenous or of colour, it's shocking what I hear some people believe and it's all demonstrably wrong and from American social media. We DO have a separate culture from those guys. It's like having to resist colonization through social media. For all our racism and faults as a nation, we do not have the exact same types of default racial divides as the U.S. I pray we'll keep it that way.
Thank you for this informative knowledge. 😊
Wow! To see the positive responses! ❤ regardless the people’s reaction keep doing you on your channel!!! ❤❤
Good job.
the point about social media blocking our news media is so valid, i never thought about how it's contributing to spreading misinformation as well. thanks for the video!
I'm so glad I found your channel. With the federal elections next year, I need help informing my friends and family about how Poilièvre is not the solution. I found a couple of other channels that give some info on canadian politics but the majority of their videos are still about american politics.
I'd like to be as prepared for our elections as I was for the one in the US... although nothing could have prepared me for the results😉
THANKS for this. What a great video I’ll go ahead and send this to ALL my friends lol
