I find it very funny that people who were immigrants in the past hate the new immigrants.\nThe only true Canadians are the Asian aboriginals who lived on Canadian lands before Canada was founded.\nAnd as a Japanese born in a country with thousands of years of history, I can't see any culture worth preserving in Canada with such a short history other than that of the Asian aboriginal people.\nSo there is nothing wrong with Canada ceasing to be a white country and becoming a country of new ethnic groups from outside Europe.\nCanadians of European origin who complain about immigrants should realize that they are immigrants too.

Letting in too many people from dissimilar cultures has weakened this country and created the low-trust society we live in today.

Tyler, I’m surprised. Canadians are more outraged about gun violence in the U.S., especially against children, than Americans are?! Killing children ANYWHERE in your country should make you crazy angry, and insist on changing the gun culture! Insane!

Why don't the European countries want Jews ? Why can they take them in since they are similar in race and culture- white,

Immigration needs to be extremely limited. Germany should be for Germans, China should be for Chinese people, Kenya should be for Kenyans, etc. People should be able to visit whatever country they want if they follow the law, but we should preserve cultures. Globalism sucks.

Canada is under a vicious systemic attack, especially anything related too family culture. You did the right thing! ..run baby run!. Most Canadians are simply to domesticated to understand the sofistication of whats presently taking place by people and parties within. Canada will likely not survive as a country following these events. Most reading this will also not understand the nature of the present situation for some time.

So being canadian means being white only ? All the Europeans that split tithe USA and some in canada because of their disagreements, that may be the culture of the first settlers yes. Times have changed an racist people better get use to changes. The whole earth does not belong to any one color. The Jesuse whites clin to love and worship is Jewish , yeah remember that. I l8ve mix cultures, my family is very mixed. It is possible to coexist together in love and respect and unity. Respect all faith but also respect the founding rules of the country. I personally do not agree with somethings cultural habits like child marriage etc or Muslim laws for women etc. Thank God for Canadian laws for all people. It's normal for people to bond together in the community and they all seem to feel more comfortable living ner their own ethic people. I love all people and I'm good living amongst a mixed community!

When people asks what it means to be Canadian, I say it means not to come here and impose your religious and cultural traditions on other Canadians who have been here for over 400 years (ya, I know some people will comment on this and say what about what the colonialists did to the indigenous people, and I’ll say ya but we conquered this land - shiity but that’s reality). If you love your culture and religions so much, why didn’t you stay in your native country. Can you imagine going to an eastern country trying to assert your own beliefs and traditions and not not honouring their culture?! Good luck with that. I’m not religious but this country was founded on Christian beliefs. Imagine going to an eastern country and… well you know what I mean.

Honestly, I think Russia is one of the few countries left that really stands up for traditional values. They’re all about family, faith, and keeping their culture strong. It’s refreshing to see a country that doesn’t just go along with whatever the West is pushing these days. I feel like the West is so focused on tearing down traditions, whether it’s about family, religion, or even just respecting history.

Agenda 2030. This is the united nations idea of prosperity. Theyre distrubuting the worlds population. If these grubby little fuckers have overpopulated their own country i couldnt care less but its not my problem and its not my countrys problem to fix it for you. Neanderthol breeding cultures

I am of Indian heritage and from what I am seeing around the world its disgusting how Indians are behaving, its made me ashamed of having that heritage and its not just in Canada, they are destroying the reputation for all Indians, and you can't just say its only a small percentage. I was born and raised in England in the 60's, we respected the culture, and country we were in, and would never see this kind of behavior that we are seeing today. Indians were known for being quiet, and respectful, and especially never loud like the way they are today, this blame I put on India itself for not maintaining its culture and respect around the world, this is shameful to see I don't blame other cultures for this mess, this is why Indians are being rejected around the world, its not a coincident.

As a US citizen, I am sad for both Canada and the US. We were great allies, and now that is gone. I wanted to move to Nova Scotia and start a new life doing my art and be a part of a culture I love. This is why it is so important to participate in the election process! The future is uncertain, but for those who care about our countries, we need to work together to bring back democracy and bring down the cost of living. It is insane what we are experiencing now!

Sky and land difference between Indian Bollywood movie and the ground reality peoples character, mindset it's really very funny to talk about racism by others towards Indian's when Indians are the top of the world number one in the name of racism brutally racist fascist around the world that is why now rest of the entire world hate Indian recently with India not good relationship with others country like Bangladesh Pakistan Myanmar Sri Lanka Nepal Bhutan Maldives Malaysia Singapore Dubai Qatar Saudi Arabia Kuwait Korea south Africa Australia Europe Canada UK USA.India needs to improve its civics sense, cleanliness hygene instead of hypocrisy blaming others very important need to improve self-respect nasty culture bathroom hygiene is prohibited

there killing the british culture and not there country ... . deport them be like poland be like trumo

These students can't complain about the student fee, Housing , food and living cost .\n\nU can blame trudue for lowering the standards for student visa. \n\nTo my knowledge from friends i know as students durring high-school vs students coming to study at college. \n\nPrior to this issue these a few mandatory requirements \n\n- parents most make over 200 k usd , and assets .\n\n- you must have xxx amount in usd dollars equivalent in your bank account and open a HSBC bank account with xxx amount \n\n - u must show you can afford for your child to stay at a mandatory homestay , all the associated cost staying and studying in canada for min 3 years \n\nJust passing the first 3 requirements, most ppl get rejected. \n\n- most leave the home stay due to culture differences and end up renting a 1 bed room condo. \nThat alone back in harper days was 20 k a year.\n\nMind you these students i met are from Vietnam, a 3rd world country where a university graduate with 2 degree will make only $500 usd which is consider a very good job . Its equivalent to5 k / month . \n\nSo thier dollar isn't worth much , for their parents to have that much money to send a 15 year old to study hs in a foreign country is a luxury only a selected few can dream of\n\nAlso none of them worked and work permit wasn't allowed. Even they were allow why would u when ur parents give u their debit card ~ visa card with allowance of 2- 3k to spend .\n\nInwould say 25% of these rich students go home within a year as they get home sick.\n\nToday standards\n\n- not many come as high school students as it's alot harder and still up hold strict standards as their still a minor. \n\n- college is easier route\nOnly have to prove u can afford the 1st. Year of study \n- a place to live\n- your parents can support you while ur here \n\nSo some one in India is faking the documents so they can come over strictly to work and pay for school and living cost. \n\nThis is why we have this problem. Even Vietnamese students doing this but alot work save all their money and go back home after their visa end. \n\nWhat ever they save in 3 years is like 10-20 years plus of saving working in Vietnam as these students are from.poor families barly getting by\n\nWith that being said, studying aboard is a luxury no matter what country ur from.\n\nImaginenthe cost of sending ur kids to the usa for school, most of will have to take.

Noone is to blame but Indian, i mean we need to look at ourselves first before criticizing other countries right to protect their culture, socity and jobs. if we are so great and talented then why we dont use our greatness and talent in our country to make it even greater

Sadly it dont matter where each country seems to hacmve it Im in Canada Im a mix of cultures I get it from both sides they make me feel like I dont belong on earth I dont fit any where it hurts so much more then words could ever say in my heart we are all the same beings here just different cultures to learn from so much to learn im Irish , Scottish, Duch , Mohawk 60 years old still I dont fit anywhere ?

The country's ten largest self-reported specific ethnic or cultural origins in 2021 were Canadian (accounting for 15.6 percent of the population), followed by English (14.7 percent), Irish (12.1 percent), Scottish (12.1 percent), French (11.0 percent), German (8.1 percent), Chinese (4.7 percent), Italian (4.3 percent), ... How are there too many indians? This is just racist question based on skin color isn't it, to ask random white people this i bet you wont.

Despite being the 5th largest economy, India still faces significant challenges in wealth distribution and visa compliance. While economic strength is a factor in visa approvals, it is not the only consideration. One major issue is visa misuse and overstaying. With a population of 1.4 billion, even if 10% were to overstay in foreign countries, that would be 140 million people—almost half the population of the United States. This creates serious concerns for immigration systems worldwide, leading to strict visa vetting processes for Indian applicants.\nFurthermore, while India’s economy is large, the majority of the wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few. A high GDP does not necessarily mean the average citizen enjoys financial security. Many people seek better opportunities abroad, sometimes through illegal means, which further justifies the need for stringent immigration policies.\nAnother issue that affects how Indians are perceived abroad is the behavior of some tourists. While not all are at fault, a growing number of incidents involving disrespectful behavior, disregard for local laws, and unruly conduct have led to Indian tourists gaining a negative reputation in some countries, including Nepal. This has made them among the least desired tourists in certain regions.\nUltimately, visas are not just about how much money a country has. Factors like overstays, illegal migration risks, and tourist behavior all play a role in shaping immigration policies. Respect and reputation are earned, not entitled. If you want to be welcomed and respected abroad, it’s essential to create a positive impression through responsible actions and cultural sensitivity.

and after some time that they are welcomed, THEY PAY THE COUNTRY THAT SHELTERED THEM BY TERRORIST ACTIVITIES AND OR UNREST HURTING BUSINESSES AND SAFETY OF THE HOST COUNTRY.\n\nTHEY DETEST THE COUNTRY' S LAW AND CULTURE AND REFUSE TO ASSIMILATE. they complain a lot and demand a lot too.THATS WHY MUSLIM COUNTRIES REFUSE THEM BEC THEY ARE FAMILIAR WITH THEIR KIND

I am Québécois, and things here are quite different from the rest of Canada. For example, we have a law here that clearly forbids wearing religious signs when in a position of authority. Even a teacher, because they are a figure of authority for their students, could not wear the Roman collar, a cassock, a hijab, a niqab or anything else of the sort while in school. In the streets or any other public place, there is no problem at all. Everyone is welcomed to express their difference of culture or religion in the way they dress or in whatever other way. They are treated with the same respect and kindness as anywhere else in Canada. It is only that the separation of religion and state, and religion and authority is paramount here. Everybody is free and can express themsleves freely. But don't use that freedom to impose your views onto others. \nSo, when American judges are chosen for the federal court specifically because of their christian fundamentalist biases, it doesn't resonate well at all for me or the majority of Québécois. When the rights of the LGBTQ+ community are being questioned or jeopardised. Or a previous federal judgement like Roe v Wade is being overturned for religious reasons... it is a definite turn off for all of the Québec people to even remotely consider the United States as a destination to emigrate to (supposing that one would want to leave our beautiful country).\nMore and more, America, that used to be recognized as the land of the free, appears to be retrograde and restrictive and definitely not so free.

As an Indian, I’m embarrassed too with their stubborn behaviour + bad English. Most of them were just to get PR, I myself worked my ass off for more than 3years to get PR. But I wanna love here with Canadian values and diversely not with same old ppl and rules. That’s why we move to different country so plz only allow the one respect Canada and it’s culture ??

I've always been saying. The so called migration crisis has damaged countries more than wars. Cost of living has skyrocketed. Rents and demand are high (triggers inflation), salaries are low (cheap labor), cultural shocks.. The obsession in economic growth damaged nations irreversibly. My family was a middle-class Turkish, they bought a house, a nice car and i cant even afford to live in Istanbul. Average rent is 2/3 of my salary.. All because of migration. It turned into a hell culturally too. Everywhere is just the same. I dont even wanna imagine Europe in 15 years.. Our generation has no future. It hurts less when you accept the truth..

White (Christian) countires DO NOT want curry lifestyle, bagwan and inferior lineage in their country. i live in the west and trust me, white people see indians as aliens. They simply just CANNOT accept the race or culture, especially if you are a dark skinned indian.

Most Indians since of late are hooligans. What atrocities do Indians have to come to a foreign Country & try to take over. Indians may he smart but are not wanted anywhere. Alot of Indians are staying illegally in Canada. They have taken undue advantage of the Canadians & the Americans. Will India or any other Country for that matter allow such things? So Indians go back. Don't bring your culture here. Try to embrace & adapt to their culture because you have come to their land. Go back Indians.

This is what happens when our country for two hundred years was based our culture on immigration...Scumster the treasonous redcoat coward and traitor should of been deported...He is causing chaos with the airlines ..trying to take over our government and all the services...He did this shit in 2018 and 2019...When he destroyed our early disease detection and killed 1 million Americans denial of covid...He is a 75 IQ and will destroy everything

India has become notorious for the world's worst rates of visa fraud, immigration fraud, illegal migration, financial fraud. Even their marriage fraud rates now rank among the highest in the world. Until Indians can demonstrate a culture based on honesty, reliability, trustworthiness, all of them should be BANNED from any other country. No more tolerance for deception, fraud, crime.

Spending so much money to come illegally what’s wrong to Indian people mind set . You have lots of opportunities in India itself that kind of money spent to come USA you could have used that money to start a business in India . Mindset of Indian should be change make in India make your own country great. Any other countries come to India no they don’t . If you see at the airport only Indian crowd . They go anywhere. Leaving their family their culture there food . What craziness ???

Indian people brag about indian superpower but begging for Western countries' entry. After becoming a citizen, they brag india, and the superpower go back to india, your superpower. Their culture is best they are best. Their everything is best. Take your best and go back.

Deport all - Indians are sheepish people who stand for nothing, hate everyone and a bribe generating country who cant build anything and the biggest losers in history. Low value people who dont stand up for anything but only minority division. At lest the Paks and bangldeshis who are copies of Indian corrupt culture occasionally fight back. Indians are in the other hand grovelling and sheepish.

All your reasonings for Indian not getting visas are invalid or self serving for your Indian middle class Angrezi viewers. \n\nIndia, as U say, in the aggregate is indeed rising. But Indians — both padh and unpadh — have NOT risen and are NOR rising in tandem with India’s rise. \n\nWe see it all the time in places where Indians live in large numbers as in New Jersey, Atlanta, Chicago, the Bay Area… …\n\nMany Indians, even techies with all kinds of information on their finger tips when they sit in front of their computer screens, are unprepared on the local culture, ethos and traditions and history, just because thay have a loooong list buddies and relatives in their e-Rolodex on the day they land here. Their lack of curiosity in the local land is astounding. \n\nSecondly, getting rejected for visa is routine in many countries. They don’t haveto give you ANY reason why they reject your visa, no matter how well placed or well connected you are in India. \n\nIn my own case, I graduated from UC Berkeley, a premier internationally known school with in engineering with a PhD in 1984. Decades ago. \n\nMy education at Berkeley was ENTIRELY on scholarships and fellowships and fee waivers. \n\nMy family was not the so-called urban middle class living in 1, 2, and 3 BHK flats in urban India., or of land lords or of mid level bureaucrats, or judges or in the Indian corporate babudom . \n\nWe were from what is called in the US as working class. In India the terminology would be more offensive, “lower class.” \n\nFor my graduation, I applied for my mother’s visa (my mother, who became a widow at 39, raised us under great difficulties with a meager pension of INR 350. She had not gone to school beyond 5th grade and she had no ancestral property, not even a red brick in her ancestral home. \n\nMy mother’s visitor visa was rejected and to this day — I am in my 70s now — it hurts me that she was not present when I received my PhD at Berkeley, one of the top-rated int’l universities. They rejected her visitor visa probably because she had nothing to show as her assets in her application. \n\nBut later. with me getting a job here as a research engineer in a large corporation, my mother visited the US five times. \n\nNot only that, even my older brother and sister in law got a ten-year multiple entry visitor visa when the came for my daughters wedding. \n\nThe point I am trying to make to your mostly upper middle class internationally well connected viewers is that visas are ALWAYS a privilege, never a right, no matter how well placed and well connected in your home country. And how well versed you are in Angrezi and how good you are in your Angrezi accent, partly British and partly Amreeki. \n\nKollengode S Venkataraman.

No one wants Indians. They don’t assimilate to the culture. They only help Indians to get jobs. They want everyone to adapt to their culture. They are loud, noisy, disrespectful, and arrogant. Now please stop invading other countries and go back to India.

The real reasons for not giving visas to Indians is the dirty street culture that you have spread in Canada and they do not want their streets to be dirty. Preserve the streets of your country, India.

Reject Sharia law in the UK now. Those Muslim MPs and Mayors should be dropped. They should go back to Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria, Iran to practice their stone age culture. United Kingdom and Western countries must wake up now.

Sorry Africans and all other illegals,but this is NOT your country or your culture. The US has a process for accepting LEGAL migration to our nation. But you've chosen to bypass that, and jumped the line ahead of people doing it the right way. This isn't your country if you disregard our laws.

I could give 2 fucks about their situation & trauma's. Guess what the world is brutal, ruthless, unforgiving, & dangerous. USA is no better. We have our problems as well & it's not easy. If their so proud of their heritage, nationality, culture, & ethnicity. They should go & stay in their own country & fight for the rights. Don't flee as soon as something gets hard & difficult. Blaming others for their problems. Instead of trying to impede & illegally force your way into another country as if your entitled to it or as if the world owes you something. Nobody owes or has to give you shit. \nThis is unfair to the many legal immigrants & US citizens. Who had to wait years & decades just to get approved with sponsorships. Having to fight their way to get accepted. An these illegals come in like it's fun & games. Pulling the waterworks as if we have to succumb to their will. Were struggling to help ourselves & they want us to help them. This is utterly ridiculous.

I’m Persian and there’s no Zoroastrian culture left in my country anymore. Indeed there’s no country left anymore it’s just history. Look at my country and learn the lesson. Save your countries before it’s too late.

I’m an Indian and I can say it without any hesitation that Indians shitty and you guys are absolutely right that Indians should be adapting your culture instead they are bringing our culture there and making a shittiest place to live. My dream was to live in US and Canada or UK so I don’t have to face Indians and I’m so late for that this idiots have made this countries worst for not only locals but also people who really deserve to be there.

Lets keep i real. The desire that most immigrants have is homeostasis which is the familiar. All humans do this. Individually indians are usually smart and decent people. But in groups ( and this doesnt just include indians) you get this group thinking that is prejudice against anyone who isnt one of their own. Im fairly certain its a good demonstration of what a different culture would experience in their own country. This is especially noticeable in markem with the Chinese population. \n\nLet me say this loud and clear. We didnt let you come here so you could start your own countries inside of our country. And beleive me, your gunna get rocked and put in your place if you guys keep coming here and being disrespectful. That goes for the any culture who is putting themselves first at the expense of other Canadians, and im not talking about white canadians im talking about all Canadians from anywhere. We re all equal and you will not be allowed to position your selves in a way that gives you immunity to these values. \n\nIm getting really tired of going into business like tim hortons and knowing what the nationality of the owner is by just looking around at the staff who work in fhe business. We let you have a seat at our table to break bread with us in a mutually benifital relationship. But what is pretty evident is that a lot of these people dont like us and if it was up to them we wouldnt exist. They fail to behave in a way that acknowledges the truth. That the family whos heritage is of this land, built this house that your living in. With our low corruption goverments , our clean drinking water, our free health care and education system, with our opportunities that make it possible through merit and hard work that it doesnt matter what family or where you were born. These are attractive features of canada that play a role in why people want to come here. And leave where they were. Its it logical to think that you have more to learn about us then we do of you? Not being on some selfish punk shit is canadas greatest strength. Its that same inclusives mentality that keep the government corruption very small which empowers the citizens to make them successful and able to contribute more back into this system. The very nature of hoarding resources for ones family, same culture, etc are the same oppressive situations many of these people left their countries to seek better opportunities. But once given those opportunities and a chance to decide for themselves, a lot of these people use their liberties to create exclusion and hostility toward out groups. The indians do this in a very overt in your face way, the chinese are more polite about it but both have this way of looking out for their own and not being concerned with anyone else. As far as im conerned you should all be split up and dispersered to live in different provinces and cites. I know this isnt realitic but it would save them from what a lot of them are gunna end up be exposed to which is experiences with native born Canadians who are going to very rudly show you what happens when you disrespectf someone in their own home. \n\nThe party is over. You people need to start being Canadian and care about Canadians like you care about your own culture or get the fuck out!

Order Out Of Chaos. \nThe world looks on, criticising Trump, throwing around silly slurs such as far right, accusations of racism.\nDeep down they know this is needed, deep down even the haters know that this is to protect our women, our culture and our homes.\nDon’t ever make the mistake of making this about race, it’s about common sense and the insanity of allowing millions of poor people to simply walk in to affluent countries because they feel like it.\nI hope this is the beginning of the end of this utter madness.

I almost moved to the US with my parents when I was a kid but was crying because I didn’t want to go. I am so glad that we didn’t move there. We don’t want to go there for many reasons, free healthcare, a good education system because we pay our teachers well and have good quality teachers, we don’t carry guns and don’t want them, thereby our streets are safer. We don’t have mass murders, school killings and all that fear. We don’t have the racial and ethnic prejudice that there is in the US. I have travelled a lot for my company and personal to the US. I was scared and didn’t feel comfortable at all. We know so much more about US geography and history and the US knows nothing about us. Complete ignorance. Well I have no plans to ever visit again. I love our people, our freedom and our culture. We are nothing like the Americans (sorry). I am staying in my beautiful country! I feel safe and happy here! We don’t want the American dream, we are living the Canadian dream!

Follow the Law and enter with legal Dokumentations to countries that are open for immigration. If you are seeking to enter as a refugee, use those correct documents. \nAlso best if Muslims go to other Muslim nations, and Christians to Christian Nations, as it is hard enough to relocate into foreign nations and their cultures! God bless you!

No education, no healthcare, low wages, no culture, shyet food... USA becoming the third world country literary without the help of immigrants. How much is the minimum wage in USA? 7.25? LOL

Guess what! they fear because they know their actions were illegal. I get some citizens who have certain backgrounds being nervous but fear? No as they are already in the system and safe. But the criminals who took advantage of the US deserve to be deported. But, from my understanding ICE is so far only going after serious crime offenders such as drug, human trafficking, murder etc illegal aliens. It is culture shift but it is not only in the US. Europe, UK, Australia etc these all countries pulling back on illegals and mass migration.

Racism has been caused due to Muslims, pushing more and more on the communities in which they are living. Wanting Sharia law. Trying to change the society and culture of the country they live in. \n\nIf it we people from a white Christian country tring to change the society, people would not like it. It has happened after thousands of ASIANS came to USA. Does that mean that USA was Asiaphobic? What happened? Asians didn’t try and change every aspect of western culture and civilization. They contributed to society and bwgan to assimilate, while maintaining their own culture. This has been like that for hundreds of yeara excwpt for the past 20 yeara or so when muslims began coming more, and bringing, pushing their religion and culture. Crime, of all elements become part and parcel with the muslims in the west. Maybe a small minority, but, enough to disrupt and put fear in people.

Since I was a kid and i saw people moving abroad and starting the new life, I only saw them going there in a better country to learn, adapt , and respect the laws and locals. We still do things or festival with our community or shared our cultures to create a multi-cultural events. We don’t lose who we are and our ethnic but we don’t bring them and force into new country. We can do our thing with families, in the house, or our embassy. We are welcoming people who wants to know our cultures but not like Indians. Indians are force and likes hey looks at me. This is how we are Indians. I found it’s so disgusting and disrespectful. When you go to live in another country because there are opportunities, you have to give back to them too. Entering with your willing, respect, and learn their cultures and then blend in. Because if your country is so great, then don’t leave. Stay in your country and do your thing there. 15:20

It dehumanizes them. I am a conservative and I can tell you now. TRUMP is not a conservative. He is a populist nationalist who uses the imagery of the Reagans, almost like dress up. He makes people hyper focus on cultural issues such a transgenders and immigrants, so that you do not focus on him building a freaking oligarchy authoritarian regime that is breaking down the democracy of your country. He only rewards the elite loyal friends. He is building a protective wall of billionaires who are leading AI technology. He only awards the wealthy. Instead of the Jews he is focusing on Transgender people. He's not infaltrating education. He divides Americans. John McCain warned about his plans for years, the last years o his life he was warning people what Trump was up to, he saw right through Trump and that is why trump would say offensive things about McCain.

GOOD , as a black American with roots run back to the killing fields of southern states during slavery, these South American countries and African countries come here and look down on black Americans and bring down the pay rate because of your illegal status which taken advantage of by companies and our communities are culturally destroyed. GO TRUMP

But when the come here all they do is talk about Mexico and wave their damn Mexican flags and tell us how this is their land. Look at them crying now!! Your free ride is over!! If you love your country that much why are you fleeing it to come here?I have yet to see a Mexican wave the American flag and learn to speak English and assimilate to AMERICAN culture! Time to go back home now!

I am coming closer to the conclusion that feminism and wokeism have been implanted into the US culture via Tick Tock by China in order to weaken the country from within. I cannot understand why a civilization would become so self-hating and self-destructive.
