Its not why we bringing so many immigrants.....Its why did we bring back Trudeau ????\nNo one is to be blamed except ourselves....we gave this blunder invitation and now we all complain.\n\nIt is said that when poverty strikes LOVE flies out of the window, so when hunger strikes loot, robbery, stealing, arson, fights etc happen. Question\nIs .... Where it will stop. Its all just started n will end in streets...things will get worse than this...Canada is a Titanic that has hit the iceberg..its all matter of time now when it will go down. \n\nAnd biggest suffererers wil be the next generation...?????

Bringing in millions of immigrants when the local population already can’t afford rent or to buy a home is the primary reason and no one on the left want to accept that.

Trudeau made it worse by bringing in millions of people to gain political power \nWell,although we’re all immigrants the government should think of the housing crisis before bringing in more immigrants

It is on the rise because current immigration has been weaponized against the local population + NGOs behind the scene are bringing the worst people to our shores, undocumented and with a goal to replace us all.

so, supposedly wealthy immigrants are coming to live in Toronto, so the rent goes on increasing. So, they are bringing money, landowners earning more, yet the anti immigrant spin on this is mindless.

Sadly this will bring rise to racism and affect most of the cultures. We really are heading backwards by failing to replenish a new system collaborating with different cultures to strive for innovation and development. If immigration is streamlined and not tolerated appropriately, this only leads to rejection to culture irrespective of race.

Immigration is always a short cut to avoid tackling the right problem. Canada is a country of many opportunities. My observation is that people are not making effort to work harder, too many regulations also limit companies to make great innovation that brings wealth here. Immigrants who come to Canada have an enormous amount of energy to build the country but the system always puts aside and cannot unlock their full potential. Just my observation only.

I strongly believe a nation should only open their doors to immigration and only to those that bring credentials to the country ! Not freeloaders that absorb our monitory supply why do they leave their own countries because their countries will not accept freeloading !

DON'T BLAME OTHER PEOPLE. CANADIAN POLITICIANS CREATED THIS PROBLEM. THEY DID NOT THINK OF ANY CONSEQUENCES. IMMIGRANTS WORK AND MAINTAIN THEMSELVES. CANADIAN POLITICIANS BROUGHT IN HUGE NOS. OF REFUGEES, WHO HAVE NO EMPLOYABLE SKILLS AND NOR DO THEY WANT TO LEARN. THESE REFUGEES LIVE ON FREE MONEY AND DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. STILL YOU CAN INTRODUCE MANY LAWS. THIS LATEST DENTAL BENEFITS SCHEME IS GOING TO BACKFIRE. YOU UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND YOUR POLITICIANS STARTED ANOTHER ONE WITHOUT FIXING THE FIRST ONE. IF YOU WANT REAL CONTROL OF YOUR COUNTRY, MAKE STRICT LAWS, DO NOT BRING IN PEOPLE OLDER THAN 50 YEARS OF AGE ABOLISHING FAMILY REUNIONS. IF YOU SPONSOR SOMEBODY IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. BUY YOUR HEALTH INSURANCE FOR SPONSORS. THERE ARE MANY HARSH STEPS GOVT. CAN TAKE. SO DO NOT BLAME IMMIGRANTS.

The immigrants that are coming here feel scammed, the older citizens have seen our infrastructure crumble, and our country-born youth are watching their hopes at a decent life fall away. Literally everyone is losing when you bring far more people into a country than its infrastructure can support. There is nothing racist or emotionally charged about that statement.

I’m an immigrant we came in 1982 , but the problem now is a lot of people here don’t want to integrate with Canadian society and want instead bring their own beliefs. Part of being an immigrant is to assimilate into the culture and not be an outsider. To me Canada is home , this is where I met my wife and my children are born. But you have to work for it because nothing is free. The key word is to become one of us , to become Canadian ??

Add AI to this mix\nIf AI displaces 20–80% of jobs over the next 3 - 20 years, and we keep bringing in tens of millions of unskilled immigrants, they are going to be more Fůkt, than if they stayed in their 3rd world country where AI would probably have less impact for longer

The more we bring in, the higher the deficit every year. We’ve brought in millions of immigrants and have the highest spending in Canadian history. Coincidence ? I think not.

We have to acknowledge that not all cultures are equal or should be praised. This forced incompatible integration with the pro-backwards cultures ruins it for everyone, especially legit immigrants who want to integrate and bring positive cultures, skills, and work ethic to Canada.

It's all about supply and demand you keep bring immigrants over and that is exactly why housing is so high

Canada just needs to be more picky on what immigrants we bring in. Can't bring in the ones that will struggle to live here and be more taxing to the system. This is common sense to all countries.

Immigrants living on social welfare, causing a rise in crimes, bringing a culture that hurts the country... why would that cause an anti-immigrantion sentiment?

Immigration is not the culprit. Deep pockets with money is. Stop bringing in foreign wealth. Stop allowing investments in property.

The final scene at the new Canadians rally is nice to see. But what you’re not seeing are the THOUSANDS of people who aren’t success stories. People who bring nothing to the party but still need a place to live. I’m fine with immigration, I think Canada is a better place for being diverse. But you can’t just keep the tap on when the glass is already full. We need to turn off the immigration spigot for a while, catch up to get our services and housing to a level that is workable, then look at turning it back on with a smarter outlook on the numbers to bring in.

I came as an engineering student in 1999. Visa students were not allowed to work outside the university. I knew i had to focus on grades and find whatever work on campus. At the time I envyied Canadian friends working during summer but i focused on school and campus work. Problem now is students are coming to work and studying part time. My aim was education not immigration. I met my wife and stayed. Sad to see the Canadian state now..immigration when controlled brings in cream of the crop....now we get anyone and everyone ?

When you don't have enough housing and bringing more immigrants per capita than any other country.. dugh...

I mean, yea. Our government doesn’t have enough housing for us. Yet, they’re bringing more immigrants in. Take care of us first before outsiders.

i just asked a.i why construction costs are through the roof and one of three reasons is increased fuel costs ... and shortage of construction workers ... the real problem is the supply and demand ... if you don't agree people should think about what happens when not enough people are buying something at the retail stores - the thing will go on sale. Don't forget the WEF is in Switzerland where they have anonymous Swiss bank accounts and ten billionaires for every politician who attends ... no chance for global real estate investment corporations to bribe our politicians to make life almost unbearable for too many Canadians by bringing in too many people so the price of real estate goes unchecked eh ? It's a vicious cycle now ... construction costs are too high now due to too much immigration ... immigration must be slowed down !!!

As an immigrant, I believe that the current racial structure of immigrants has destroyed the original structure of Canadian society. In addition, I support economic immigrants who can create and bring consumption and wealth to Canada, and the number of refugees needs to be controlled based on the capacity of Canada’s welfare institutions， shouldnt be unlimited，is crazy.

As an immigrant, I feel the problem is bringing more people than Canada can handle.\nAnd more means way more.

The only solution to this is government should freeze bringing immigrants and pathway for students to become immigrants for few years until Canada overcomes with it's own poverty. Majority of people do not have a standard life in Canada now. Canadian born children have hard time to find jobs and their future is uncertain now. Government is totally responsible for creating this disaster.

Sorry--I feel the need to correct one key aspect of this story. What is happening in Poland, Baltics, and Finland (with regard to migrants) is wholly different than what is happening in Greece. Comparing the two is comparing apples and oranges. \n\nIn Poland, it is Belarus who is weaponizing irregular migration patterns to specifically challenge the EU laws and disrupt society. While that may not bring any clarity to the legal situation regarding what the European Union should do, the *reason* for migration is fundamentally important. On the other hand, migrants coming through the Mediterranean Sea are coming of their own volition. The European Union *should* find ways to be more lenient when it comes to accepting refugees who are expressing genuine need and come organically. But aggressor countries like Belarus and Russia (who are specifically seeking to destabilize the EU) should be strongly disinsentivized from using human beings as pawns. Sure, Poles have shown anti-immigrant sentiment, but Belarussian troops have literally pushed migrants to the borders. They are causing the humanitarian situation, not the EU. \n\nTLDR: what's happening in Poland is totally different than what is happening in Greece. To equate the two is wrong.

These days, every country blames their pre-existing problems on immigrants (easy to do). The realtor girl in the video clearly explained why housing is expensive, because it's expensive to build. Is that the fault of immigrants? No! In fact Immigrants should technically bring the cost 'DOWN' due to 'cheap labour'. Poor infrastructure, govt corruption and corporate greed are not problems created by immigrants.

Man I love reading the comments in this video! We also face a similar challenge in other countries that housing is a crisis and governments keep bringing in all sorts of immigrants, from refugees to highly skilled people (like myself). I have switched 5 cities and the story either gets more worse or less worse. Half a year searching for a decent apartment? Some search for years! It's a full time job. The government gets back to my request after many months! Foreigners offices are packed with applications and citizenship is taking years long now. Getting a doctor appointment (psychological issues) within a year is hard, unless you pay from pocket or are in grave danger. We are being squeezed in here and they started new loose immigration policies to be more attractive to foreigners. Address the quality of life at the same time!

“That will bring in, what he calls ‘peaceful immigrants who accept Canadian values.’”\n\nThe Guardian: and we took that personally

I got my first job at 14. Thats probably impossible today for teens now competing with others arriving from abroad. We created a problem we didn’t need. I don’t think “it’s who we are.” Canada and every other country historically bring in immigrants in so far as how they fill a need for a certain skill. Today it’s just a matter of poor management.

Great assessment. My wife left Vancouver 22yrs ago. It was bad then and has only gotten worse. Sadly the residents would rather smoke a joint than vote for a conservative govt and attend a church. Forget about GOD can't be surprised when he forgets about you. That said Australia is not much better and getting worse by the day. The reason govts love immigrants is because they bring money in and are obivious to the local politics so the govts simply continue to introduce more and more corrupt policies every year. Even after they become citizens they remained divided on political thought because they tend to have a duality of mindset which says, if it all goes bad I will go back to where I came from. Meanwhile the local population is so busy applauding a PM like Trudeau who leagalises pot so they can be so stoned while there country is stolen right out from under them. The country always gets the govt the country deserves. Place your faithin JESUS CHRIST for he is the only one who can save you, not a corrupt govt. REPENT and come to CHRIST! \nAs I said earlier, not trying to pick on Canadians as Australians are no better. Canada like Australia was once a country with a CHRISTIAN WORLD VIEW, sadly no longer and hence the decay. GOD BLESS YOU...great chanel with a very honest assessment. ??

Anywhere in the modern world. Immigration brings problem to its citizen.

We used to have a common sense approach by bringing in immigrants based on how many we could handle bringing into the housing market and healthcare, as well as getting high skilled workers. That approach is now gone because we are bringing in over a million immigrants under marc miller.

Please learn the difference between refugees and immigrants. Canada needs immigrants to fuel its economy. Profofessionals come here in Canada ready to work and pay taxes while Canadians were educated for free (k to 12) and even availed student loans before even contributing to Canada's economy. Be specific with what immigration programs you are referring to. Some immigrants do not owe you anything for being immigrants in Canada. We came here fully equipped with education and skills, bringing our savings and ready to work and pay taxes.

Can they only bring in immigrants who know how to build homes.

When I came to Canada as student 10 years ago I \n- never planned to work part time when I was in school. I only made the move when I had enough money to live and thrive without off campus jump\n- I am SHOCKED when people say they aren’t prepared. Where is google buddy. \n- I was planned enough to not take up any low skilled jobs. Today I earn in 6 digits. \n- As immigrants we need to also accept Canadian values and not bring our crazy practices from back home. Grow up buddies.

Illegal immigrants seek to thieve public services wherever they go while they bring crime, poverty, homelessness and violence with them. In total, illegal immigrants cost the local, state and federal taxpayer over $100,000.00 annually per illegal immigrant. This, while a full time minimum wage worker that pays these taxes cannot afford a single room basement apartment in a bad neighborhood.

Canada has a massive immigration problem right now. There is a student visa loop hole thats just been fixed where people would get a student visa at some 3rd party “institution” then bring their entire family along with them on open work permits.

It's a Canadian tragedy that immigrants are homeless in Toronto and smaller communities are begging for an influx of people. There should be an incentive for immigrants to choose to bring their talents to rural Canada and form a new community away from their original homeland. This is how it was when my grandparents came to the prairies, a German community flourished.

Everyone os blaming immigration but nobody is talking about building more business, employment and bringing competition in Market.

I heard most of families in Canada only have one or two children. They need immigrants to keep their way of living and us immigrants bring family members, friends, family. decisions are made to stay and this is a problem we have

This government is completely disconnected with reality. They are causing the problems we have right now. The petty crime rate is growing like crazy where I live. I am an immigrant from Brazil. I am having to deal with issues that I had back there which was unthinkable before this crazy immigration rate. Also the majority of immigration is from one or two countries. How does that improve diversity? We are creating ghettos and all the problems associated to it. We bring so many people from the same culture that it is becoming our culture. Very soon, we will have to adapt. This is crazy and irresponsible. The problem is not immigration, is the way we are doing immigration under JT.

Terrible take. Shame on you. Why don’t you do research before you frame that the main issue is immigrants. You make zero mention about how developers and investment owners are given useless perimeters about what to build (they’re mostly all building unaffordable luxury condos, even before materials and labour were so high) and zero restrictions on shockingly greedy rental pricing. Airbnbs are also still a problem even with revised rules. The issue is with our City Halls and their ineptitude. Stoking a fire about this BS is only going to bring more violence on immigrants so I hope you’re willing to be accountable for that.

I'm an immigrant to Canada I've been here for almost 2 decades and I agree the leves of immigration is getting out off hand, you cannot bring half a million of new people into a new country and not expect a housing and health care crisis.

As an immigrant, I would say bring down the numbers substantially, bring only the creamy layer that can benefit this country, stop illegal migrants and refugees for political appeasement and vote bank, strenghten law enforcement and punish the offenders severly to set an example

Of course immigration rates are way too high. The people arguing that this is framed wrong are wrong. We need a complete moratorium on on immigration and to look at what works and what doesn’t. Also some groups are incompatible with the West and put our society at risk. They bring nothing of value

Being an indian myself, i feel there should be strict rules on immigration and bring only those who can really contribute to this country

11:24. That fool, Daniel Bernhard, should recognize that Canada should first fix its infrastructure to bring it up to beyond the current population requirements and THEN allow immigrants in. It doesn't seem to work as well when it's done in reverse.

What I find very strange is that immigration is an issue ONLY in the western world . In other countries it is not and mainly because if you are a foreigner you will always be a foreigner so things are clear from the start . \nSo as a foreigner you will have to put your kids in private schools , get a private health insurance etc …basically you will have to do what the wealthy locals are doing , difference is that they could use the public services but they don’t . \nAnd so for if you cannot afford to bring your family (also the type of visa you get will tell you if you can ) then you come by yourself , make your money and go back home . So the system automatically regulates itself . Simple .
