I am not A Canadian I’m an American, but I interact with lots of Canadians as they find themselves coming down here for one reason to the other and I’m not near the border either. I’m quite far into the US in a major US city.\n\nThere are two types of Canadians that distinct themselves. The first group is the ones that are themselves immigrants that are naturalized. I make this distinction because many cases they have not assimilated. They still have their own culture from another country and is pointed out by the narrator people from south Asia and Asia strongly have their culture And language \n\n( Canada is good for allowing people to live in communities to cut themselves off from the main screen. You have people who speak the Ukrainian language Going Back 4 generations)\n\nThen I’m gonna have to use a euphemism that might make peoples hair stand on the back of their neck. I’m gonna call them. The white Canadians has a euphemism. These are people who are going so far back from the British Isles for the most part and the French also speak another language who have no connection to Europe. The English-speaking Canadians who are you from white could walk down or come down to the US and fit right in in a matter of weeks if they’re not already assimilated into the US Culture ( I hope I don’t see any fireworks start coming from this comment) Many of these white Canadians are now more economically disadvantage than the newer Asian and south Asian immigrants and find themselves often times competing for resources with these newer immigrants. Many immigrants more effectively when it comes to investment funds and banking as they formed their own little cocoon communities that don’t interact with the white Canadians.\n\nUnderstandably the white Canadians feel like they’re shut out, unappreciated by the government and now disadvantage and if they raise any protest, they’re called racist and white supremacist. \n\nJust so you know, I am not a white American, but I have an immigrant father from East Asia and I have relatives of my fathers who are also from the same Asian country who immigrated the Canada that I’m in contact with\n\nCulturally when I run into white Canadians, what I noticed is that their diction and speech is so clean clear and polished. It’s almost like they went to a finishing school or a low level class in diplomacy and public speaking many of these people come off like human resource people in the US because their culture is one of accommodation and consideration for other people they know how to be mindful of other people and these are great qualities\n\nYes, the Canadian government is messing up right now and they’re gonna wind up, ruining the social cohesion of their country if they have any and also wasting their human capital

If YouTube had existed 100 years ago we would have heard the same thing from Indigenous people: too many whites! Just the natural result of a country that relies heavily on immigration. The government could change policy anytime to stop it if this is not what they want.

All whites are immigrants too. Do not forget that. Only real Canadians are the aboriginals

Native Canadian have already been outnumbered decades ago. I guess, u meant to say first immigrants and thats Whites..

There may be some valid critiques of Canadas immigration policy and mass immigration in general; However most people aren’t being sold nuanced thoughtful opinions. They’re being sold discriminatory rhetoric based on fear.\n\nThe crime rate in Brampton is down 27% over the last 10 years. People who are saying it’s gotten worse aren’t saying that because there’s more crime.\n\nIf you’re worried about immigration, I gotta ask, how has an immigrant actually directly hurt you? If they have was it because they were an immigrant, or was it because they were just a jerk?\n\nLet’s not spread fear and hatred about people who look different and have a different culture. White people are not being replaced. Canadian culture will change, but it always has been changing. There’s no need to feel fear. Treat everyone kindly! We’re all messy flawed people and things only get better when we accept each other

I honestly think some Canadians people have memory problems. 30 years ago Brampton was known as the town with the most Indians. Nobody complained. The cost of living and housing went up in the last 10 years and now all of a sudden people complain about something that has always been. The only difference is theres more Indian students. Its a student issue, not an Indian issue. Then you got white drugged up people blaming immigrants for their choices. Nobody forced you to do drugs. If you are poor and homeless this does not mean you turn to drugs. The land is vast, there are plenty of chances. Blaming immigrants for your failure is a classic gaslighting tactic that is just pure bs. The reason why crime and drug addiction is up, is because lack of government punishment for open drug use, lack of protecting the mailing system, lack of cracking down and normalization of drug use. You go to Dubai, An Arab city that has majority Desi people. Where is the crime where is the drugs? None. Everyone is happy. This is not an Indian issue this is a Canada issue.

Everyone is saying immigrants don’t want to be Canadian but what is Canadian actually? And also look what white Canadians are doing, sleeping in the streets and drug abuse they aren’t a great example either ??‍♂️

I’ve heard what that guy is saying & I’m noticing that too. In Wpg Canadians are becoming the minority themselves. The white people are literally disappearing & that’s truly frightening! I’m sorry, but really; we need to stop this madness of “over done with immigration!!!” We can’t even care for our own people anymore now asshole Trudeau has triggered this kind of problem! Yup, this is truly out of control alright! Absolutely true!

Serious question. Are white people jealous of immigrant Indians and Chinese? Most white people are poor and uneducated. 3rd world immigrant Indians and Chinese are able to buy homes here in under 5 years of moving here while white people born here can't afford homes. Is it just jealousy? Let me know.

i’m watching this from eastern canada, and i’m living on the street starting in a week. being too disabled to work while in university, i’ve been trying to live off of student loans— i’ve lost 25% of my total body weight in 6 months, from starvation due to food prices. \ncanada may not be proudly and openly committing genοcide to indigenous populations anymore, but… we’re still being killed by the state, or trafficked and killed by the settlers.\n\nto any prospective immigrant who isn’t white: canada is a place where dogs are treated much better than brown-skinned people, who are treated equal to or better than the indigenous people of this land that canada loves to say it cares so much about. \n\nreconciliation is dead as long as the colonial government is alive, killing us.

Why did all these white people end up homeless, after living in Canada for all these years. Before the immigration spike happened???I agree too many immigrants. White folk can learn a lesson in work ethic.

All white people are immigrants also

That land is a immigrant build place..\nJust keep that in mind. Don't belong to white people....\nLand belongs to native indians any how.\nJust suck it up.

Canada is taking in to many immigrants from (India,China,Philippines,Africa and other nation) which will force Canadians out of a job and created cheaper labour that under estimated the standard of living. Many of these people are none Christian nation and will be a threat to Canada and other part of the west. Canada should stop take in None- Christian nation of people and focus on more to build up the white Canadian people. Canada is allowing to many immigrants in the country per year and where are the real Canadian going to live in years from now to come? The cost of living will rise very high and the government need to stop this and reduce it intake of immigrants. Is Canada a Indian, Chinese or Philippines country? I heard Indians said that Canada is not a white country, and they came to take over when I was there.

so much racism, so many tropes, so many un Canadian white people. \n\nAs for the white Canadians, they are not displaced by newcomers, kindly keep that in mind.\n\nAlso Harrison, you picked out a comment that was skewed and you repeated it. \n\nIndia has been high on the on the list of migrants for many years and this not mixing trope applies to immigrants from across the World.

White americans and canadians forget they're also immigrants

Hey White Canada, think how our First Nations people felt when Whites mass immigrated to Canada.

I am by heritage a white, Irish/English person. When my forefathers came here in the 16th and 17th centuries they were primarily monogamous and competed with those of French heritage to run this fledgling country. Now the immigration is coming from Asian and Middle Eastern countries. Why do Canadians of European backgrounds feel they have exclusivity of this country ?

These comment section filled with Anti-Indian Hate. \nCanadian Immigration system is a Point Based System which means who ever have higher points will be awarded the Green Card or Work Permit. \nIndians are super competitive when it comes to immigration ? with their Levels of English, Education, Social support from society, French skills and Employment in High skills and young pool of people. Indians beat everyone. Meanwhile, Chinese ?? Language is WRITTEN all over on Vancouver Airport with Canadian ?? Tax money ? and Vancouver being Chinese island now. No one talks about. Indians assimilate in western society, without forcing their religion on to others, like many fake refugees from Muslim world.\nIndians commit most least crimes unlike many Blavk people.\nIndians don’t need government assistance like Natives and Indians pay taxes in highest numbers.\nIndians directly compete with White Canadians and that is the reason there is so much hate for them as others feel inferior and dominate power feel their dominance is in question. ?

I've never been to Brampton, but is this video insinuating that Indian immigrants = white people L's? That is kind of the vibe I was getting... these first world countries need immigrants too as the birth rate drops below replacement level. Usually there are lots of reasons why a city deteriorated. I guess an equivalence might be Mexicans immigrating into the U.S. Yeah, there are some rough Mexican neighborhoods but not all of them.

I say this with a great deal of cynicism but I don’t think we will be able to halt mass immigration, and the reason is old people. Old people vote, and they have money. Politicians respond to the people with money. My parents are in their 80’s and they spend $7000 per month on their retirement home. I’m renting an apartment because I can’t afford a home in Victoria. The cheapest house here sells for $700,000. And so I’ve no intention of getting married or having kids. It’s clear to me that this is happening all over Canada. The death rate exceeds the birth rate. There is something odd about this state of affairs. Immigrants are pouring into the country and moving into multigenerational houses. They’re getting married and raising kids. Two or three generations live together under one roof. Meanwhile, the picture is different with white Canadians who have been here over a hundred years. Older, white Canadians are spending $7000 per month on assisted living retirement homes. Their children are single and renting apartments. We are living in clown world.

So the Indians want to work but the homeless poor whites want to blame the immigrants for all their problems ?. Maybe if these white folks actually worked there wouldn't be a demand for immigrant workers. Same with the US. People want to blame immigrants or basically anything besides themselves for their situation.

What is the host trying to say that coz of immigrants influx white peoples are becoming homeless or are becoming druggy no every adult is owner of his or her life.Trudeau is doing appeasement politics time will come when you will see khalistani taking over the country and then no Canadians will have any rights left

Were there no White, Canadian-born people to interview?? All of these people are immigrants or the children of immigrants.

How about the fact that Canada DOES have a culture and it’s killing our culture, they don’t know our manners or respect them, don’t respect our values or religion, have increased our crime rate like crazy and multi culturalism is a lie and doesn’t work, and immigrants don’t get to tell Canadians about there culture, white people are afraid to say we have a blend of English and French culture, and up until a decade ago things here were great

Canada is a huge country, but only a small portion is suitable for long term residency. I'm guessing thats where most immigrants gravitate to. \nIt doesn't matter what these people can offer, the locals don't want to be replaced. \nWe've all met lovely non white individuals. But as a collective, do we really want them as 55% of the demographics? \nWhen you switch the majority, then you switch the culture.

Wait what? I thought it was only white, far right wing extremists who were against mass immigration? \nI guess the media has been lying to me.

Canada has never had a open immigration policy; i tried twice to emigrate to Canada post University (BA, BSc and PhD) and my application rejected twice ; not enough points. How do these immmigrants get in i ask? (White UK born and aged under 30 years) Canada has and cotinues to vavour immigration from the 'right' parts of the world!

Personally think they are letting in WAY more immigrants than they tell us!! Just look around, last five years and whites are now minority. That doesnt happen from 1mil a yr.

By the way, multiculturalism doesn't mean multiple laws. In Afghanistan, it's culture for 9 year old girls to be sold to 55 year old men but in Canada that's illegal. In the Middle East, men can have 4 wives but that's not normal in Canadian culture. Qatar still has slaves but in Canada, that's illegal. So who is racist, if Canadians want a stop to massive easy immigration? And who murdered Hardeep Singh Nijjar? Please stop assuming it's okay to have 20 people living in 3 bedroom house! Stop assuming the caste system isn't in Canada. South East Asians are hurting Canada and their own families!\nThe federal government needs to start focusing on investing on Canadians couples who want to start having families. Let's be clear, the famous boxer Muhammed Ali stated he wanted his children to look like him and he is entitled to that. Stop discriminating against white people by not allowing white people from Germany, Ireland etc to immigrant to Canada. It's corporations who don't want to hire white people because desperate brown people are cheaper to hire and abuse. \n It was first indigenous who settled in this country. Then it was the British and French, who were Christians. Canadians laws, traditions culture & values are based on Christianity. Canada is not founded on Islamic laws, Hinduism caste system, or any other foreign religion that goes against tradition Christianity or progressive values such as having basic human rights. Of course non whites can be Christians or at least respect traditional Canada values but the federal government is making no effort to assimilate the new economic migrants recently coming to Canada. Denmark is enforcing immigrants to learn Danish to help stop the ghettos of mirgants who don't respect Danish culture. The federal government has no standards for who immigrates to Canada and they should be voted out!

We native-born Canadians are becoming uneasy and restive with this immigration situation, but if we voice concerns we're labelled as racist, bigoted or intolerant. In Canada it seems that everyone else's culture is more important than our own, to the point we feel uncomfortable in our home and native land, in which many places are unrecognizable from what they were only a decade ago. Imagine what reception several hundred thousand white Canadians would encounter if suddenly planted in Mumbai! When you next vote, please eliminate this ridiculous Liberal government.

Racism towards India is on peak. There are chinese africans and middle eastern immigrants too. Atleast we Indians work hard and don’t rely on refugee. We aren’t like the homeless violent white people too.

Canadians are homeless and desperate. Meanwhile the traitors in the government betray the Canadians in favor of our enemies. Immigration is an invasion. The Great Replacement is meant to destroy White people

Trust is you may need immigration, but that is white European immigration, as it used to be back in the days. Give it two generations of mixing and the third generation will look exactly like you. Not to mention we share pretty much most of our cultures and will embrace each other.

Nice try… you ask a leading question to a brown immigrant about too many Indians… who laughs and says yes , without really understanding your angle. Then you speak to a white guy who is talking about homeless crime and you turn it around to City is full of crime….the jealousy is that the Indians are doing better than whites.

Canada is really a colony of India. Open immigration will cause the white Europeans to be the minority soon.

I agree Canada is totally indian, you, dont see any white Canadian abd yet immigrants adopt an accent, where do they acquire it, beats me. Indian have screwed up Canada. God help Canada

The reason is the Liberals are PLANTING FUTURE VOTE for their party.Thats what Mr. Piere trudeau the father of justin had proposed during their 1950s strategic conferencebattended by different liberals and democrats all over europe and the americas.Mr.Pierre s proposals in order to gain more victory for their party is to break the solid white conservative voter,this means opening wide the door to immigration if they want to gain more seat in the government.Thats why no matter how bad the situation in the immigration system notably in europe,usa canada the democrats and liberals dont want to solve it,because it was proven immigrant are so thankful especially to the liberal here in canada.Newcomer in canada have always the impression that the liberal especially the trudeau family let them in because of kindness,which is not true the liberal just use them to stay in power!

Could this video be more racist, funny whenever it says the word “Native Canadians” it shows white people. Actual Native People’s are the indigenous peoples of this continent, did anybody ask them if they were Ok with all them Europeans coming over.\nThe present issues with immigration and the growing pains we are having is really a good problem, because the alternative would be the baby boomers dying off and just leaving empty houses and ghost towns, and productivity completely disappearing.

Where are the white immigrants?

Let’s just be frank for what this video is. As long as whites continue to be the majority in a Canadian city then it’s fine. When whites become the minority then it’s too much immigration. If the influx of immigrants were from a more respected country like a Scandinavian country I doubt this journalist would have a problem.

TOO MANY IMMIGRANTS ARE TURNING WHITE CANADIANS INTO DRUG ADDICTS AND HOMELESS? WHAT A REPORT

A white person on native american land calling others immigrant????

Its Funny how MOSTLY WHITE PEOPLE are commenting how immigrants who came there lawfully want to practice their religion. Same white people that colonized the country and ethnic cleansed the natives and their culture and imposed their European ways . Genociding and destroying the owners of the cohmuntry while pretending to be civilised. The utter hypoCRISSY.

Imagine how Native American felt when they became minority on their land, compare to whites who are still majority. We had many immigrants from Ukraine, Bra Paton is just a city compare to the rest communities in Canada. I don’t t mind Indian people\n, love their food.

Not that independent your journalism since you seemed being happy when a student said “if the government don’t need you, it’s time you went home”.\nAnother thing i will add, just to remind that Canada doesn’t belong to white people. White people are also immigrants, whether you like it or not.

The only way to make them adapt is slow and small immigration. But that will keep Canada too White and they can't have that. Yuck!!

Indians have a very groupism mentality even within themselves although they are very friendly but for example, a group of Indians who are hindu and vegetarian will not welcome even other non-hindu Indians who may be non-vegetarian to live with them. Sometimes students from same study program also stick together and will not include someone from different program even though they go to the same school. But as a community they look out for each other in that way so chances of seeing immigrant Indians dealing with drugs and other crap that the white people do will be almost non existent. \n\nThe other ethnicities might feel threatened due to over whelming majority of Indians and they group together to voice their concern but those ethnicities are individualistic and don't care about the country or each other. They just get heated up in the moment as they don't see people who look like them. If Brampton was all rich white folks but still with a majority on the streets like San Francisco or NYC doing all sorts of crap , nobody will be complaining or make a big deal out of it. Apparently, that's acceptable.

Stupid white people feeling guilty= record immigration

Instead of blaming the Indian immigrants there... complain to your own president, he knows the majority of vote comes from Indians... and hence the current condition of your country... your president itself is corrupt...\n\nNow you may think, that we Indians should be thoughtful and responsible enough to do the right thing.. but then again... they are Indians... a majority of them are there just for living the American dream, although its Canada... but that works too for them... and obviously the white girls.... Indians still have petty mentality... it's like expecting beggars to work... as long the beggar gets what he needs without moving an ounce of lassi ( in his/her stomach ) , that beggar will choose to be a beggar.... ( unless he/she is exceptionally talented or educated in that case he won't be a beggar in the first place , and will definitely respect the culture and people wherever he happens to be.... )
