Imagine creating a problem, trying to fix the problem you created and holding a news conference to celebrate your incompetence.

[dylanrocha]

I was born and raised in Canada and it has never been this terrible to live here.

[kennek]

[auroradark]

[DaniB]

Until 2 million are gone it wont make a difference.

Holy h*ll only 4 years to late. Imagine any other job where the employee is allowed to repeatedly f**k up yet never looses thier job. Pathetic!

[VickyRyan]

[SavageKillaBees]

Economy envy of the world?

This guy isn't talking about the same country..

[tylerk]

No, we are not proud of our immigration system.

[balrajdeol]

Canadians are sick of your immigration policy. Mass immigration has destroyed canada. Please tell the truth. Generation of Canadians will for your mistakes.

[Carpenter]

Don't do anything until you are forced to. You have nerve telling Canadians what we expect. CARBON TAX ELECTION ALREADY!!!

[tompond]

How can these MP's stand behind this clown and nod in agreement? If these MP's are in your riding, vote them out. They are clearly a bunch of idiots.

[StevenTourigny-ct]

We need houses, roads, honest politicians too, not immigrants nor corruption nor liberals.

[eelkeplantinga]

Illegals came under name Singh, and the government was warned about by even the Indian government who warned for undocumented Indians.

[Laissez-faire]

"Fixing" the problem they caused. There should be prison time for all of them.

Hey Trudeau, we have thousands of homeless drug addicts camping everywhere. Our children are NOT SAFE !!! Education, food, medication is too expensive even for working poor. None of this is acceptable. We are born Canadians yet our taxes help immigrants and not actual Canadians who have suffered here our whole lives. I'm living in a ghetto while immigrants get NEW homes and FREE money and better jobs than Canadians. We need free education, free medicine, and decent homes to survive in. We need homes jobs education food medicine. Wtf. ???

[dianneamaris]

Tim Hortons used to be a place where high school students work at during the summer now it's all east indian owners employing only east Indians. What is this???

[AngryMeditator]

Immigration keeps our wages down, houses more expensive.


Make life cheaper for Canadians so we can have more kids. More kids = more taxes collected.

[Balorian]

The damage has been done. We need to close the boarders completely, including asylum, for at least 10 years. Nothing less is acceptable.
