Sean Fraser said she was the immigration minister for his province!! She is a DEI HIRE!!

I signed the Alberta independence petition, I am sick and tired of my province subsidizing Eastern Canada $25 billion per year through the unfair equalization payments. They keep voting in communist liberals who try to destroy my province's economy! enough is enough

Why isn’t the aiming that message at Doug Ford and Danielle Smith? They control healthcare in their provinces

It's not your province.

Alberta cannot legally or constitutionally separate from Canada without the consent of First Nations, whose treaty rights and land titles predate the province's existence. Indigenous leaders consider unilateral separation unconstitutional and a violation of Treaty 8, with many challenging separation

Too much empty talk, no substance. Majority of Albertans don’t agree with your point of view. Why is she wasting time and money on unnecessary referendum??? Senate is a part and parcel of Parliamentary democracy, madam. You are steering around and avoiding to fix the problems in Education, Healthcare, and green energy infrastructure. You are not sending extra money to Ottawa as you are referring to the transfer payments among provinces. The last formula was signed up by the ex Rt Hon PM Stephen Harper, who won his seat in Calgary AB.

Yet no referendum on cpp or Alberta Canada permanence or how about an actual election as the government has lost the confidence of the entire province.

I'm all for referenda, the trouble is when government picks the issue, they are usually doing so for political reasons, not legislative ones. Harper pulled the same thing when he took a first nations treaty agreement that had been twenty years in the making between THREE levels of government and threw it to a referendum of a population that had NO idea what it was about, so they just reacted along racist lines thinking 'first nations are taking over'. But in any case, a referenda is better than not, sure as hell wish we had Citizens Initiatives in my province to stop some of the horrible public policy decisions.

Immigration policy is a federal responsibility, ensuring fairness. Why is it so confusing to so many to understand that Alberta is a province, not a country? A province that undermines consistent national standards weakens the sense of unity that holds a country together. When one province seeks to separate itself from the shared framework, divisions will arise, and policies will be driven by local political pressures rather than the broader national interest.

So the province is running a deficit. Lolololol. This woman is useless. Her entire platform was divisive, she literally has done nothing for the province other than push forward and add gas to “independence”. She needs to go.

Alberta was calling skilled labour. The Federal Liberals were calling refugees and foreing students- of learning centers. LOL Many of these Federal recuits ended up in Alberta, unfortunatley. Alberta usually has more social benefits than any other province. So these Lliberal imported refugees are more likely to head there.

Basically chickened out on a referendum to separate (avoid egg on the face) and here's some red meat for the wolves to distract themselves. I believe a new republic must stretch from the Great Lakes to the Pacific and have at least 80% support across a broad field including the western provinces, the indigenous treaty holders and the territories, including Ontario west of 88⁰ and so the idea of Alberta going it alone obviously ends up with them becoming a US state at best, a territory like Puerto Rico more likely. More work is needed.

I feel this video does cover what's happening but don't answer the question why its happening. Here's what i think- To start with - A major population of indian immigrants in Canada come from two provinces/states - Punjab and Gujarat. From Punjab - Most of the population who migrates to Canada are villagers. They are notoriously famous in Punjab cities as well for creating trouble. They have no civic sense, always getting involved in illegal stuff, some use drugs, no etiquettes, poor hygiene and very arrogant sometimes. Another thing, Canadian government over the years stopped taking in-person interviews and got lenient with rules for gaining a visa especially for students which doesn't make sense and one should be catious so of what kind of people they are letting in their country. This leads to letting in a bunch of wrong people who are already a troublemaker in Punjab and then represents a bad of side of Indians. A side note - Every Indian province is very very different and not all people are same in India. It's definitely a shit situation which shows Canadian government definitely needed a better way to handle immigration. A lot of international students has been exploited by the system as well if you get to know from there point of view as well. Seeing the thumbnail and title of this video shows what kind of a person Tyler is. Without a proper research and understanding, he just made a video to appease people who hates on Indians. Title says Invasion, is he for real? I see way more Chinese immigrants here in Canada than any other nationality. Punjabi Indians are to be blamed as for creating a bad picture for themselves but hating on whole country without knowing them feels prejudiced. I hope whoever is reading to really open their eyes and understands that this is a government failure for not having strict rules and regulations. Indians have been immigrating to Canada for more than 100 years but you see them as a problem now due to last 8 years of bad decisions. Last thing, you see more Indians in Tim Hortons and mock them, is that a bad thing on loving and supporting a Canadian brand? Definitely poor english speaking employees is a problem, but that is a management issue. You don't like it, have a word with the Manager if they don't act on it, then I guess they don't really care for your opinion. Its on you now whether you want your coffee or better english 😂

Immigration is not a provincial power, it is the sole responsibility of the federal government. Therefore this referendum is an utter waste of time and money. Danielle Smith deal with the problems of your province such as Education and Healthcare! Stop creating problems!

How much are you going to and have already spent on studies to Separate our Province, Legal fights to shaft Teachers back to work. You are the problem and anyone who supports you !

every province should be doing this

Excellent work Premier ! About time Albertans got a say in how this province is run ! No doubt it'll be mostly about sending a message but the feds had better start listening. The important referendum depends on Ottawa showing more respect than they have in the past.

Alberta is a province. Immigration to Canada is a federal responsibility. If Alberta wants to compete for those workers, they will need to improve public services, and assure workers are paid enough to afford to live there. Alberta is an expensive place to live. I know that from experience. Alberta also benefits from the education and investments made by Canada. And Alberta benefits from the pipeline that Justin Trudeau forced through. SO STOP WHINING. AND stop sounding so much like trumpler the king of Kraznovia.

I wonder if this activity is to ELEVATE THE POLICE BUDGET TO BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS 💸 💵 IN THEIR FAVOR? A CHIEF MALES 350K A ACCIDENT SCENE CALL ASKS 15K TO 20K A MONTH FOR CALL LIST A PROVINCE HAS AVERAGE 20000 ON FORCE EACH MAKING BETWEEN 70K TO 140K EACK A YEARLY! THIS IS A BUSINESS AND BUSINESS IS GOOD 👍

Would like you to do what Nick Shirley did in Minnesota. There seem to be an abnormal number of Somalian Family Center in Ontario. This province is known to be a sanctuary province for migrants... would a little investigation show fraud there too?!

PEQ is decided by quebec province alone btw. not Ottawa

Why interview only Quebec region? It represents only one province in Canada. Interview other provinces for balance.

Canada not its provinces promised nothing!!

Not true. Majority of canadians dont want migrants. -no well payed jobs - migrants taking minimum wage jobs. Our western provinces cant support migrants on welfare. Our health care is failing due to influx

As a Canada who speaks both French and English and who follows politics quite closely, I have to say that the headline and some of the reporting here is quite misleading. A reduction in immigration has broad support across Canada. I wouldn't say that notion is dividing the country in any significant way. You do have certain industry groups that disagree, but among the population these reductions have broad support. This is a historic change in public opinion in Canada, but it has been driven by the unprecedented increase in immigration under the last term of the Trudeau government. To put this in context, non-permanent residents in Canada numbered around 1.5 million on Q3 2023, but by Q3 2025, that number sat a just over 3 million. The previous government increased immigration targets by 3 or 4 times over what they had been for years, which caused a number of economic issues. Essentially, the volume was simply too high for the economy and society to support. This was unfair to both Canadians and new comers, many of which could not find employment or afford a decent place to live. The changes being suggested are largely bringing Canada back to what the targets were for over a decade before, though a bit lower to account for the sudden surge. Canada remains one of the most pro-immigration countries in the world. However, and this is where I think DW's reporting is misleading, there is a distinction to be made between policies at the federal level and policies at the provincial level. Immigration, per our constitution, is a federal matter, however, Quebec in particular is distinct from other provinces. I don't mean only culturally and linguistically, but also in the powers that have been devolved to it by the federal government. On the question of immigration, Quebec has more powers and more ability to set its immigration targets and programs than any of the other 9 provinces. The particular program discussed here, the Quebec Experience Program (PEQ), is a particular immigration stream that only existed in Quebec. So what is happening with that program cannot be labeled as a whole-of-Canada thing. Where the changes to the PEQ are controversial, unlike the general changes at the federal level, is that people who immigrated under that specific program were promised certain things. There was a multi-year time line to Permanent Residency and then Citizenship. Many of those people have been in Quebec for 5-8 years already. However, the changes made to the program were done in such a way where people who many years into the program, had gotten an education, started a career, had children, ect. are now being told they can't continue and must leave Canada. There are even stories of people who married Canadians, now have children, and the one parent who was under this program now faces the possibility of having to leave Canada and be separated from their family. All through no fault of their own. That is what many people see as unfair, and I agree, however limiting future applications under the program, to bring in less people, that is not controversial. Canada has no responsibility to bring in people who are not already in Canada, but Canada does have some responsibility towards people who uprooted their lives to move to Canada and built new lives here based on promises and representations made to them by the Canadian and Quebecois governments. We should no simply kick those people out of the country.

Punjab (Pakistan): A province in Pakistan with a large Punjabi population. Punjab (India): A state in India, predominantly Sikh, known for its rich culture.

New Brunswick is the only officially bilingual province in Canada.

Thank you so much for this video. I just passed the test with 17/20. Few questions are out of this video. And some are tricky. I did some other mock tests as well like Richmond Library, studied the map and etc. Some I remember are: 1. What is the common term for someone elected in Federal elections? A. Riding Winner B. Member of Parliament C. Senate D. Federal Executive. 2. Which of the following represents being Canadian and expresses national identity? A. Symbols like Maple leaf B. Equality C. Unity D. Human Right Commission 3. Jury duty consists of partial jurors and past jurors (in similar meaning) True or False. 4. French and English are: A. Fighting rebellion in 1800s B. French joined hands with Americans to fight against English C. Lived together for 300 years D. All of the above 5. Got a basic question about suffrage movement 6. What are prairie provinces? Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba (SAM) 7. I got a question about provinces from west to east on Canada map. Please look and memorize the provinces locations. 8. Got a question about Peace Arch in Blaine 9. Question about Peace Tower like what was built after first world War. 10. Question about Aboriginals. Ans: First Nations, Metis and Inuits 11. Branches of Parliament Ans: Sovereign, House of commons and Senate 12. Courts do: Ans: Settle disputes These all what I remember. I am not sure which ones I got wrong. Might be in the first 5 I posted here. Test is not difficult but it is better to go through this video multiple times and do some other mock tests as well, in my opinion. Thank you and All the Best 😊

I was going through college in southern Ontario about half a decade ago. The faculty was alright but the one that always stuck with me was an elderly Indian man who had a PHd (what he was doing teaching at a community college, I'm not sure). He immigrated from India sometime in the 70's, I think, and sometimes told us stories about how he'd never seen electricity until he was well into adulthood. This was at the early stages of Indian mass immigration to the province, but the international students were already becoming a known problem in the school. They never spoke to anyone else, hung out in big groups together on campus, I swear most of them couldn't even speak English. They constantly cheated on everything and shared answers, I heard like 7 of them got failed for submitting identical lab reports one time. Most people knew they were a problem, but no one was comfortable saying anything. Except the Indian professor. He would publicly call them out for shit in class, berate them, shit talk them openly to other students. I've literally never seen anyone more angry about those Indian students than that Indian professor. It's not hard to see why, he busted his ass to immigrate to Canada, get work and get into a good university. He completed a doctorate, for Christ's sake. He didn't see a street light until he was 25, and worked his way to the bleeding edge of digital science. Now there's a bunch of lazy assholes invited in by the government brazenly trying to cheat their way to a degree in his goddamn class. I'd crash out too.

This almost feels like the borat social experiment. So openly racist and not caring , its just downright disgusting , diversity is what makes canada strong and having lived on every province , there is things i would change but im glad people are building new lives here and finding it safe, dont blame all your problems on immigrants and then call it based. Thats just a excuse.

Please. Tell me how the fůck can they afford it. One of the poorest nations affording the most expensive province... hmm.

Punjab is India! Why are the lying. Punjab,for those that don't know is a province in India. By the way Canada is a province of India located in North America. Believe me I live in Vancouver and for the past ten years and I feel like I've been teleported to India or Pakistan. It's scary bc I've never planned to live in India, but here I'm. Durka durka ! 😅

They have spread throughout All the Provinces of Canada!!! I live in N.B and half the businesses here are Indian(India) owned now . Over the past 12-14yrs, the amount of people from Foreign countries around this county and just a cpl more surrounding us has went up 20 fold! ALOT of Indian(Computer Indian, Not the Indians that have Always been here and should rightfully own it) owned companies around here now. No apartments to rent around here anymore, and the ones you find have the rent jacked up to crazy amounts! I get along with all the ones I know. Nice , hard working people. My Dr. Is from India now too!

It is WIIILLLLDDD how accurate this is.. it’s sad. Every province is like this. I’m from Saskatchewan 🇨🇦 every Tim Hortons is like that, and sadly a lot of people have boycotted there now.

To be fair Ontario is a MAJOR liberal province. They did all this immigration bullshit to themselves! Don’t get me wrong it’s bad in Alberta but not that bad! Makes me happy to see that the blue plates are reaping what they sow. Ps come to Alberta @tyler give ya some more perspective and see why Alberta is separating. This is a huge part of it

Thanks for coming to Canada, the china's new province full of indians.

Fucking Punjabi invaded BC and most provinces in Canada STOP BRINGING THEM HERE STOP IT ! Go back to your cows

I've seen many videos like this on Youtube . After Indian Canadian , The most common ethnic groups I saw in Canada were Arabs and Africans . There are especially many Arabs in the French-speaking provinces of Canada , such as Montreal , Quebec , Ontario and New Brunswick. And some of the Arabs there even speak Amazigh , a North African language , among themselves.

It's worse than this video shows. I don't live in Brampton and my town is entirely * after 10 years. Everywhere I go is * people. It doesn't matter what store or business or service I contact it's just * people now. When I went to college everyone was from there. This was a regular local college that Canadian kids aspire to go to. They made up 90% of the classmates, they never showed up to class, they refused to participate in team projects, nobody failed. They did so poorly but the school charges 3x. My final year they cancelled final exams because they decided too many international students would fail. They are from the same country but they have different religions and from different cities that hate each other so they would refuse to communicate with each other. Imagine you meet someone from another province and you hate them and aren't afraid to crashout in public over it. My next door neighbors there is so many people living in the house that they live there on a schedule one group in and one group out. You would think they would be going to work NO they literally hang out all day long like a bad 90s comedy movie. In the last 10 years all of the house in my town skyrocketed in price. The people around me all bought around 2010 - 2015 for $150k - $260k and sold for around $1m 2023 - 2026. Average house price in my town has stayed at 3x what it was 10 - 15 years ago. They don't rake their leaves, they don't clean up their trash, they don't clear their snow from their driveways. Both my parents are immigrants, they came here poor had to work, had to respect the country and its laws and culture because that's what allowed Canada to be successful so they could come here. All I hear about or see now is immigrants from the one country? When I was a kid I grew up with every nationality where did everybody go?

nova scotia has also turned into a little india. I swear I see more indians than any other race in this damned province

I'm in Halifax, NS. They are here in full force . All over the province really , every small town. 10 deep in a one bedroom apartment. You can get an Uber in 30 seconds tho

Why do they keep saying Punjab that territory and province is in India.

Canada wanting to become the 51st state: ❌❌❌ Canada wanting to become Indian province: ✅✅✅

I've been to several different Tim Hortons in my province and multiple times I've received eggs with mold I no longer go there the falloff is crazy

Took a road trip out west this summer. Every province, in every city or small town with a population of 700 people. All Indians working at fast food places. The country is no longer great.

What they don't want to tell, is that Ontario is the easiest province to earn permanent residency (PR) in Canada.

As much as I hate seeing how bad it’s become, I also love the fact you’re shedding light on it. As a Canadian myself it’s pretty weird that almost anywhere I go in my province, (Man) it’s like predominantly east Indian other than like reserves which is a rough subject in itself some/most cases.

Its cuz Canada is a joke and Quebec is even worse, begging money from other provinces even tho they could make their own money.

Québec is the only province that still feels like its former self since Indians don’t speak French, unlike other provinces, which lack a backbone and only care about money

East Coast Canadian here. Thankfully the non existent provinces beyond eastern Quebec are thankful it's not as bad here. The majority of TimHorton's & Wendy's employees are flown into the Charlottetown airport, housed & trained on site & then spreadout across the country from there. The Government is paying the majority of their minimum wage and business owners pay pennies for them! They will also work more hours than others. Our own people are being ignored when they apply for jobs so that its not considered discrimination. They can easily claim the immigrants applied first.
