In my corner of my million+ city, I’m SHOCKED 😮 when I see a white person, or “normal, legal, safe” driving knowledge and abilities

The minister was probably chosen specifically because she was inept and wouldn't know what was going on in her department; that reduces the likelihood that anyone would be turned away a while longer. As Lorrie said - just like my Political Science professor pointed out almost 50 years ago - immigrants largely vote for whoever was in power when they arrived in the country. A very large percentage of the people that they bring into the country under a Liberal government are likely to vote Liberal. That's a (practically) guaranteed stream of new Liberal voters to replace the old Liberal voters who have become disillusioned by the Liberal Party's actions. It has to stop. We need to vet EVERYONE who comes in and we shouldn't be giving them gold-plated health care until we've granted them refugee status or permanent residency and they should be told that up front so no one is shocked or feels cheated. If they know that and still come, they'll know what they're facing. If they choose not to come, they've made an informed decision.

A Liberal unable to answer a question??? I'm shocked!!!

Temporary residents are allowed to get a PAL or gun license, this just shocks me .

I just saw that Tyler has 8.8 million subs...I subbed a long time ago, but was shocked to see how many he has now, so I looked it up -- as of Feb 15th, the total was 3.7 million. You mean to tell me that 5.1 MILLION people subbed in the last 6 days?!

I am in the immigration business, the Indian applicants shock me to my core. They will forge anything, bank documents, education documents, police clearance certificates... You name it.

What? When did they figure this out? I'm shocked what?. Lol

Im shocked at those videos being in Canada !!

Once again I’m shocked… NOT!

Thank you for this. As a single mom of 3 kids in their 20’s I am shocked with the seeming hypocrisy in our country right now. Those who have deflect and blame trump for all our problems. We need to stop blaming and start paying attention to what really matters - our own citizens who are suffering.

When visiting PEI, I was shocked to see that most shops, restaurants was full of Indian people.

I did a road trip from my home in Las Vegas to Calgary. I was shocked at the vast racial demographics in that area vs Montana.

India will invade the entire usa as well as canada. They are grabbing our job as well as opportunity. But the most shocking thing is they all are scammer. They don’t know english 😢😢 they are collaborating with our govt Through illegal way. It’s time to deport them. They will turn Canada into India 😢😢. Don’t Trust any Indian. They are so tricky and cheap 😢😢😢

I’m from Barbados. I went to Canada for the first time last year and was shocked to see so many Indians. I thought I was in India.

Im an immigrant from Colombia living in Canada. I moved here because I legit wanted to study this program I was interested in and improve my English. After finishing my studies a tech company hired me and I've been working here for over 4 years. I am shocked at some of the things I've seen, the corruption, the lack of law enforcement, the scams, all the sketchy things that happen within certain immigrant demographics. No one's looking into it, journalists, the government, no one does anything about it. I'm not anti immigration because im one myself but I do think there needs to be more strict regulation and the government needs to look into the scams that are going on in this country.

Please come to Winnipeg next. You'll be in for a shock.

I met an Arab man who was saying, “Why are Indians so dirty?” I told him, “I don’t know.” He said, “I went to Thailand for sightseeing, and there were Indians everywhere. They smelled so bad. I even saw five men with one woman and was shocked. I will never go back there again.”

bro goes to China town and wonders why there's Chinese, that's the equivalate of going to Brampton and being shock to see Indians.

Auckland, New Zealand. My home town. Totally attacked by the Indians. Some of the previously precious suburbans of Auckland are now called Little India. Rubbish everywhere, beyond reality. Aucklanders are moving away, losing money on their mortgages. It's shocking! Stop immigration !!!!

The first time I arrived at Toronto Pearson airport, I was shocked . it literally looks like Delhi

I wonder why they would like to live in the US so much? I've been there and I've met a lot of people from there, I am a tour guide from spain. I would say the US its an ok country, with good job opportunities, nice infraestructure but with a lot of problems of drug abuse, homelessness and crime Specially for a so called "developed nation". I was shocked when I heard that there are what you call school shootings there! Why don't you tackle that problem and alow it to happen? I have never seen that, in such a scale in more developed countries like switzerland, japan or south korea.

Yes, My Husband and I are shocked. We noticed that there are so many Indian Nationals when we visited Vancouver BC (2023) and Toronto (2024). There everywhere, even at the airport. Most of the TSAs are Indian nationals too.

I’m a proud Indian who is now a Canadian citizen, and I’ve made a conscious effort to assimilate into Canadian culture and values. What bothers me is how this conversation has been reduced to blaming one group. The reality is that the Canadian government failed first by not properly managing immigration volumes, not enforcing document verification, and not honestly assessing whether the country could support such rapid population growth. That policy failure created pressure on housing, jobs, and social systems long before resentment followed. We also need honesty within the Indian community. Some Indians struggle to adapt being overly loud, culturally rigid, and sometimes lacking empathy for Canadian norms and shared public spaces. I studied Canadian and Indigenous history in school, and respecting that history matters. Assimilation doesn’t mean abandoning your culture, but it does mean understanding and respecting the society you chose to join. Cultural education should be expected, not optional. That said, one Indian doing something wrong does not make all Indians bad. Most Indian students and workers I know are hardworking, punctual, and serious about contributing. I’ve personally worked minimum-wage jobs for years, and what I noticed was not jobs being “taken,” but fewer Canadian youth willing to stay in or commit to these roles long-term. Indians didn’t replace Canadians, they filled vacancies that already existed. I also briefly volunteered helping the homeless, and what I saw was honestly shocking. It’s not that the government isn’t trying to help there are rehabilitation programs and support systems in place. The difficult truth is that a significant portion of the homeless population struggles with substance abuse and refuses treatment because it requires giving up drugs. Over time, homelessness itself starts to function like a culture, where benefits and assistance unintentionally enable continued substance use rather than recovery. This is an uncomfortable reality people don’t like to talk about. None of this is simple. Immigration didn’t break Canada, and neither did one community. Poor policy, weak enforcement, lack of accountability, and refusal from governments and individuals to adapt responsibly is what brought us here. Blame is easy. Honest solutions are not.

I went to Toronto and I was in SHOCK......... Everywhere, every buisness.. literaly everywhere

Americans have been in shock over the last few weeks after all the Somalian corruption that has been exposed in Minnesota, Brampton is Canada's version of the Minnesota case except it's so much worse, the corruption in Brandon is in its own league and i highly suggest anyone who's interested to do some of your own research, most of this stuff is hidden in plain sight yet the government doesn't react or do a single thing about it, and in some cases they are literally part of the corruption. The downfall of canada enabled by its greedy corrupted politicians will be studied by future generations and i'm glad that history will not be kind to them.

Shock shock shock.............................................

I was so shocked when I saw that statue in person 😭

I was shocked how many Indians were in Brampton it’s basically India pt2. It smells like curry soon as you walk outside.

The ignorance of that racist man against Africans is beyond shocking. How can a person be that ignorant and spew so much hate in the name of expression. Just sad.

Yeah as a Canadian who lives in the Greater Toronto Area, I can appreciate how immigration as a concept is good. But Canada is at a point now where a large influx of immigrants are shocking our economy and dropping our quality of life. And the majority of these immigrants come from one country. No hate to India, as a half Indian myself, but when you bring these people over in droves, they feel it unnecessary to assimilate as they all coalesce with each other - where they feel comfortable. So you have the majority of them who don't speak our language, who don't carry our values, and don't feel that any of it is required. And it makes you feel, as a Canadian like you're being taken over. We want a lower immigration rate, and we want a greater spread of people from across the world. I don't want Canada to become India.

Im shocked . I dont know why but i thought it was going to be about a differnt kind of indian

This is so incredibly racist. Wow. I’m shocked by this comment section and video. This is not ok.

I’m Australia on a work visa in Canada and I’m shocked by how many Indians are here. I’m assimilating to the Canada culture and ways but a lot of them here I’ve noticed don’t and won’t.

I'm more shocked that the driver who is smuggling peeps, said that he is a permanent residence, meanwhile he doesn't even speak an English on normal level to get it

Torontonian here, Im shocked and not shocked. You do some brave work!

Went to Canada this summer and that was my first time and i was shock how many indians its crazy

It’s so funny this government is blindly allowing false refugee claims Even in countries where there are no violence whatsoever many have claimed refugee status . And this liberal government even without proper encouery let them get that status are now enjoying our hard earned tax money free housing cash dental schooling college furniture even laptops??? accepted them as real refugees leaving real genuine refugees and law abiding educated hard working emigrants in the fray . Shocking Canada 🇨🇦 The emigration minister should resign cause some of them may have police records gangsters rapists we do not know Time Canada imported good decent hard working emigrants without police record

The problem is not the immigrants. The problem is with Canadian leaders, and the Canadians who elected and reelected them to office. I lived in Nova Scotia for just over 2 decades. I attempted to have many discussions about these issues and was shocked by the generally vapid responses I'd get. Much more to say, but the main point is that Canadians have destroyed their own country's quality of life and from what I can see, Canada is not worthy of respect as a nation. I take ZERO pleasure in saying this. However, the country should have provided the United States with a up close example of what a well run social democratic nation looks like. Instead, Canada is a joke to the far right and in fact fuels the far right in the US. Now with the global south amassing on the US's northern border (visit Halifax, NS if you have any questions about this), I view Canada as a threat to the USA - which is a nation with more than enough problems. A note to immigrants reading this: I respect many of you individually, and I do not in the least mind having you in my community. You as an individual are not the problem per se. The problem is that policy makers are simply using migrants to increase Canada's population to 100M by end of century. Google "Canadian House of Commons Century Initiative" to see how Canadian lawmakers voted in support of this policy. Best, Patrick Moan goodhumanhabitat.org

Shock me

I'm not shocked, the government allowed that to create chaos in immigration to convince Canadians that the only solution is to accept Digital ID. I don't believe Liberal or Conservatives, they are against each other but working for one master which is the New World Order.

See the thing is cultural shock... First of all the sikhs come from a very conservatives cultural and so in cannada the britishers and french settler earlier so their will be a cultural shock... And , The main point is the Sikh genocide , so particuarally in 1980's their was a fight between Indian government and radical sikh group to make another own country. So in the civil war our government launched Operation Blue Star in this the holyiest place the Golden temple for sikhs was attacked by Indian army and killed the main terrosist and somehow the main part of Golden Templen was burn.. So then the Sikhs were very government. Then, our prime minister Indhira Ghandhi was assisinate by their sikh body guard and then bcz she was very influencial person, people started riots and revoluting again the Sikhs , like in the main cities like the capital New Delhi people throw stones and boycott the Sikhs and the goverment stop funding their state PUNJAB so their was low job oppurnities and they economically.. So a mass migeration movement happen that every sikh families were moving in Cannada for good quality of Life....

One thing to highlight with not seeing any homeless Indians in that first seen is not that Indians are causing others to be homeless - rather, they are willing to help family out to prevent homelessness! When we first came here (20+ years ago from Ethiopia), we couldn’t find work and faced homelessness. Our extended family came thru and let the 4 of us stay in a small 1 bedroom in the basement until we could get on our feet. By having a room to be safe in, we avoided a lot of the consequences of homelessness that would have made getting back on our feet exponentially difficult. What I have found shocking now to see as a Canadian of 20+ years is my non-immigrant Canadian friends who will watch quietly as their family members fall under the poverty line and towards homelessness, avoiding inviting them in to not “disrupt their peace” at home. I’ve had random family of friends stay with me in hard times to avoid them being on the street while my generally kind friends (at least to others!) did not take them in. This individualistic mindset of the West really means if you have a low point in life, you will plummet to rock bottom…. Ofc homelessness and poverty is multifaceted but a more collective approach to community would also reduce the burden!

The shocking thing is, the white immigrants from Europe are the ones complaining about immigrants. Double standards

As an Indian I am shocked too! Unchecked immigration? How is the mass immigration helping Canada? These illegal colleges created just for immigration, these are open secrets, why these are not tackled? Being in the tech industry I thought I could get PR relatively easily. But everyday I am seeing stories about people moving to western countries, beating the system, not paying taxes - how does that even work?

It's shocking how Canada has changed in the last 10 years. While some Canadians still fret about a US takeover, Canada has already become a de facto part of India.

11:56 as a punjabi the cultural shock was insane the people were asking to put the cloth on that guys head but if it were in my city they would have resorted to violance or wouldnt have let me in gurduwara in the first place unless i had pag on

Truly shocking.

I moved here from South America almost 30 years ago and worked to learn the culture and values. When in arrived in Vancouver I was shocked to see so many Chinese people.. it was not my idea of Canada. Then I moved to Toronto and was shocked to see so many Indians. As an immigrant myself I'm against these immigrants that come here and don't learn the culture and have no appreciation for the Canadian way of life. This is 100% a failure of government policy . Trudeau made the situation so much worse.

Pretty shocking that in the comments people think our healthcare is free. No,.it's paid for by taxpayers.
