U.S. President Donald Trump claims Canada is “destroying itself” by allowing millions of people into the country “essentially unchecked and unvetted.”
In a social media post Wednesday, Trump said this is causing unspecified problems that “will soon be too big to handle” and described it as a “Liberal takeover that will end very badly.”
He said the immigration policy is already resulting in high unemployment numbers.
Trump provided no evidence for these claims.
Canada’s unemployment rate in August was 6.4 per cent. The U.S. unemployment rate was 4.1 per cent last month.
Ottawa has reduced its immigration intake over the last two years after abandoning plans to work toward admitting 500,000 permanent residents annually. It also introduced targets for admissions of international students and temporary workers following sharp increases in both those populations.
Immigration Department data shows the number of temporary residents coming to Canada between January and July this year is 66 per cent lower than the number of arrivals over the same period in 2024, when reduction measures began.
Get breaking National news
Statistics Canada population estimates show Canada’s population growth has been flat recently due to reduced immigration, and the parliamentary budget officer expects zero population growth this year.
The Immigration Department’s website says all visitors, temporary foreign workers, students, immigrants and refugees undergo comprehensive security screening protocols and can be deemed inadmissible on grounds of security, human or international rights violations, or organized criminality.
Like him or not, but he is right !
Please takeover Canada!
Has Trump ever been right about anything?
Trump is correct! 11 years of Liberal destruction, a lot of which caused by their open-doors immigration policies.
Liberals bragging about not destroying the country today as fast as they were destroying the country for the past 10 years is so cringe.
The only idiots buying are brain washed cultish liberal voters
It is. It is destroying itself.
Say it:: Thank you Justin
Those “millions” are the ones working hard and supporting the benefits for idiots who are complaining
People just want to believe whatever confirms their bias and the orange idiot is a known liar. The favourite falsehood of most racists is “immigrants get money from the government “. Which government office ?
The only class that gets support is refugees which is like 1% of immigrants. All others either bring in tons of capital or work hard and earn it. But a racist would not accept it even knowing it is the truth. As for refugees, well you decided to do that in obligation to the UN charter. If you don’t want to follow it, don’t. But don’t spend false information about all immigrants just because you hate people of different race or colour etc.
100% true. The irresponsible Liberal government, the policymakers, ministers, politicians, and authorities
have destroyed Canada and ruined the lives of its citizens by allowing millions of unchecked and unvetted migrants from a corrupt country…

The only people left supporting Trump are the ones that hate the people he hates.
Liberals – Mark Carney – try to act like they care about citizens.
Send back home all immigrants who are in Canada illegally.
Stop financially supporting immigrants and refugees.
Start telling more of the truth in the media, not just happy news and accidents.
Reduce taxes.
Support CPP. Why, after working for 30 years, am I getting only $800 from CPP? Compare that with the financial support given to refugees.
Trump is absolutely fight , but I guess to many Canadians the truth hurts.
Are you sure he is not right , there seems to be more and more of India in this country. They own everything , like Russel Peters said , We are ALL going to be Beige
This is the first thing I have heard Trump say that is absolutely true. The Liberals have been trying to make Canada into a 3rd world country by flooding the country with people who refuse to assimilate and bring their crime and filth with them.
Good job Donald striat to the point !!!
DJT is right 100% !!!
Why is the Liberal government not taking care of its own citizens? Instead, they seem to prefer letting millions of people come to Canada. We Canadians have to work and pay high taxes, while refugees and 50-year-old international students are receiving hotel accommodations and food allowances.
Let’s call it an achievement of Mark Carney.
Did he reduce taxes? No.
Did he reduce immigration? Yes, by about 20,000 per year—but it should be reduced to zero.
Trump owns Canadians, and lives rent-free in their maple-syrup flooded craniums. Governer Carney is so weak. hahahahah
DJT is absolutely right about what is happening in Canada for the last 10 years. This country is going down and soon will become 3rd world country. I hope conservative will change the leader, win election and start looking after citizens instead of fake refugees, and millions of new commerce as a 45 years old international students.
Moron with a megaphone feeding his poop flinging monkeys.
India has the most criminals in Canada
Of course, I say no one cares, yet here I am, losing my sh *t and replying back. It’s so ironic, I sayto stop whining yet i’m the one whining. I guess I should lay off the scotch. lol
He’s not my favourite person ever but Well said trump that’s all I can say
To the Russian and American trolls: No one cares what you people have to say. You are a bunch of fringe weirdos whose inane blatherings are as meaningless and empty as your pathetic impotent lives. Stop whining and leave if you don’t like it here. No one will care and no one will miss you.
I love how Trump can just explode the tiny heads of progressive morons here in Canada with just a simple statement. The media know they’re helping him too. Canadian Press didn’t even attribute this story to any author’s – just “By Staff”. hahahahaha TDS morons!!!! Too funny!!
Sounds like civility has left New Canada. Pass out the knives, lets start offing each other.
Hasn’t he got it through his thick orange skull we dont care what he thinks yet? Jeez!
I love that global just published a bunch of false statements made by a geriatric crazy person as absolute fact. And all of the boomers and racists just eat it up.
He vocally supported Carney during our last election, that’s on him.
It is so very sad to see how Canada has deteriorated. I have been visiting Canada for over 50 years. For many of those years the currency was close to equal. For years gas was cheaper in Canada. In the 1990s, our Rotary Club worked closely on international projects. I don’t know what happened to Canada but since the early 2000s everything changed. Never before did Canadians use such awful profanity, show such anger, and then the cities started looking like the slums of Calcutta. My last visit will be my last.
queue the TDS, Caleb
DAVID BEST, POST YOUR ADDRESS.
He’s not wrong. And now that its being curtailed Canada’s are being assaulted with a real estate bubble being burst. Just to add to the overall economic malaise caused by a decade of terrible Liberal policy. Elbows up though! Please sir, can I have another.
@ben at 131pm. Once a libby communist, always a libbie communist TDS!!!
The TDS is strong in konradtomston, Glen, Gord L, and TRUMP SUCKS F*RTS OUT OF DEAD COMMIE P*GS!, etc…
Very bigly strong.
Canada isn’t destroying itself because of unchecked immigration.
The LPC/NDP/BQ and their clueless taxpayer funded “free” stuff voters destroyed Canada with unchecked immigration, unbridled corruption and all the toxic derivatives of klepto-socialism.
But let’s Elbows Up and blame Trump anyway.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
He’s not wrong
@Qbit. Took it personally when I mentioned low IQ white trash? At least you homeless junkies have enough brain cells to recognize yourself. Inbred sh*tstain
Trump is so correct!!
And the US is destroying itself by electing corrupt, incompetent blowhards like Trump. Our gov’t has worked hard to REDUCE immigration as the article explains, so maybe Trump should figure out what he’s talking about before making spurious comments. But unlike the US, Canada doesn’t curb immigration by sending masked, jack-booted goons into the streets.
Especially from India
Anonymous the village idiot…how many person(s) are there using the “anonymous” …callsign…. are there? One person is intelligent and well versed. Sadly, the other “You” is a moron and out to lunch.
Trump is hateful and mentally incapacitated. He really nees to crawl into a hole because he is making enemies of Canada plus!!
@eurotrash, go dig your great grandpa up from imaginary unmarked toilet and give him blowjob
Oh F*ck you Trump. Just because he got called out, Canada is the enemy. Eat a Canadian d*ck you f*t bastard.
Trump’s a moron. Who cares what he says about anything, particularly after his dismal policies have undermined the US
He’s definately not wrong here! We need to stop immigration, as well as put all the remaining chugs in their place and save the country billions of $$ per year.
He’s not wrong.
Yeah George. Displaying your low IQ.
Cue the racists.
I am so tired of listening to this buffoon. The arrogance and audacity. Eat another cheeseburger – PLEASE
No kidding. All we do is pay taxes so they dont have to work
Trump,Bla Bla Bla. How’s that war going for ya. Might want to concentrate on that
Every Canadian with a brain in their head knows this is a fact
I don’t agree with Trump on most things but our immigration policies and illegal immigration are damaging Canada. As for the EU they have just told the UK that if they rejoin the EU they will have to accept migrants from all EU countries. If Canada joins the EU they will tell Canada the same thing.
Have been pro immigration especially open to those fleeing conflicts. Lately am concerned with so many people from India. From one man met and talked to many times as we both took exercise at same time grabbing my breast. To another getting naked at favorite swim spot. To neighbors having huge gatherings and waving rifles.
Global news hiding comments now… wow
Since we have lower infant mortality, higher life expectancy, a better democracy and more freedom than the US, Trump is looking at us enviously. World freedom and democracy indices don’t lie.
Absolutely. Canada has been a mess for the natives since the low IQ white trash inbreds came from Europe
While I can’t stand the orange man he’s absolutely spot on with this one
Finally some cold hard truth from Trump !!!!
