Vancouver resident here - I live a couple blocks away from a college, and can confirm that the student populace not only exploded but is almost exclusively Indian and it wasn’t gradual. \n\nPersonally, this seems to be the most egregious of it because aside from the sheer numbers, they don’t seem to be making the area any less safe or being a nuisance. And at those numbers, they patronize nearby businesses, helping the local economy. Can’t complain about that.\n\nHome prices have been out of control for decades, and so have hospital wait times - these are Canadian problems for which the Indians are merely a recent contributor (if at all). \n\nThe issues Canadians are facing from the influx of Indian seeking education and/or PR’s are under the jurisdiction of Canada’s Trudeau government - a group that is facing deep criticism amongst Canadians. They are now trying to placate us by walking back over the Indians they welcomed here in the first place. \n\nAnd that action subsequently (though not intentionally) gives justification for Canada’s most deplorable citizens to place blame on said Indians and discriminate freely. \n\nHaving said that, the main issue Vancouver locals have that is that (once again due to the Trudeau government) we seem to have imported a violent form of Indian politics that cause blood to be spilled on our streets - I don’t know the details between the sides, just want that sh!t shut down. I would love to see the Canadian and Indian governments cooperate to remove violent activists from our streets.

See if these people stop thinking they were white in the first place. They could have fought with the African Americans and got their right. S they wouldn't be happening to do this now. But no, they didn't want to do it. They wanted to think they were white better than blacks better than Africans from Africa better than anybody else there they are. This is what happens when you don't stay true to who you are. God made you who you are and when you turn your back on who you are, you're turning it back on God.??❤

Other nations have no place telling Canada or the US to make it easier to immigrate. Its not right to immigrate to Canada or the US or any sovereign nation, its a priviledge at the behest of the host nation. The sheer audacity to think you have the right to make any demands of another nation and their people to host you. So obnoxious and entitled.

Thrump brandishes the threat of force and puffs out his chest\n\nAfter having lunch with Sarah Netanyahu in his private club in Florida yesterday, December 4, 2024, Thrump, the next president of the world's leading power, made a thunderous statement; threatening those who hold Israeli hostages and their sponsors with terrible reprisals. We know him well enough and we predict a chaotic and catastrophic mandate worse than the first. But this overly muscular statement helps us predict what the foreign policy of this contested and protesting president will be. He who - during his election campaign - made it known that he is against the war in Ukraine and against war in general, we do not understand how he is going to free the Jewish hostages held by Hamas without resorting to the exaggerated deployment of force? But the most serious thing is that during his next term, he would very much risk leading humanity adrift. How can he not learn the lesson of the student movement that shook America at the very beginning of 2024? And how will he dare to swim against the current? Knowing that American youth have clearly become aware of the Palestinian tragedy, firmly opposing their country's strange foreign policy and vigorously condemning the Zionist takeover of their state affairs? Thrump would do well to take into account the cardinal changes that have taken place in the unanimous awareness of international public opinion; otherwise he will be grilled alive. It is not a single man - even if it means being the President of the UNITED STATES of America - who will stop the inexorable march of history. The Palestinian cause obeys this logic of evolution and what has been imposed by force of arms for 75 years has reached its fateful deadline. Today's world is no longer the world of yesterday and Thrump has an interest in drawing the necessary conclusions. The war of liberation will continue with or without him. Israel will be forced to fear international law and Netanyahu will have to serve his sentence emanating from the International Court of Justice incessantly. This is the common sense of history and this is what will drastically comfort international public opinion.

most of the record prices is in part due to corporation realestate and chinese oligarchy realestate buying. Corporation based on business methods of profit. Investment properties but no one living in these places.

Illegal should send back to Native Birth Place....

Canada is becoming the place of only the rich can live here and the middle class an poor ar forced out or going to foodbacnks and becoming more an more homeless on the streets.there will be a war here in the future if it keeps going in this manner and rasist that is now will be more for both side but tolate for pure canadins and will need to leave to another country that will take us in.we will be like them an be immediate people hoping to move in.

If english sucks then how you got study permit at the first place.

I immigrated to Canada in 1981 because I married a Canadian I should say French Canadian girl and it was just a better place for her to continue on with her background. We relocated to Ottawa which is bilingual and made it very easy for both of us to assimilate together. I moved back to the USA in 2006 to help my sick brother and move back again to Canada in 2016. I came back for many reasons. The political Edge in the united states, the guns out of control, the increased crime rate daily, in just too many people everywhere. Now I was living in the Tampa Bay area and a lot of the people come from out of state and out of country especially in the winter to spend their cold months in the sunshine. Some things I miss in the United States comes usually down to the cost of living. Unless you get sick. And I miss living by the Gulf of Mexico. Except during hurricane season. I prefer living in Canada only because it's a slower easier paced social environment. It has nowhere near the political stress that the United States has where it can almost be violent. Actually, where it has been violent. Revisit January 6th. Out of control guns with hot-headed men mostly can force you out as well and back to Canada. Canada's social structure and environment supersedes the United States tenfold. And of course as we get older, Healthcare is a priority. I'm thankful there's a place like Canada close to where I was born or I can spend the rest of my life enjoying it as opposed to looking over my shoulder constantly. I also find that Canadians have a huge appreciation of warm months. So many people are outside even when they are eating at restaurants. Because of the warmer months are so short, Canadians really take advantage of enjoying it and those months are never taken for granted. Winters in Ontario, like here in Ottawa, can be very cold once January and February come around. But once you make it into the middle of march, you can almost smell spring in the air and somewhere on the way. But there are those dreaded 8 weeks of oh my God ?

Finally. Can't wait to see the action put in place.

Who cares what the puppet liberal woman that was placed by the cartels to run Mexico. Like Cumala Harris a puppet leader. Except Mexico voted her in .

Low skill and low wage might have been ok when costs were low - low food prices, low energy prices, low housing and rental costs, etc. Now that everything is incredibly expensive, Canada is stuck between a rock and a hard place. Either wages will go up (which have been fairly stagnant for the last 30-40 years) so that it goes above and beyond inflation, OR you will not be able to bring in low skill, low wage labor. Simply put, when rents are $3000 a month in Toronto, minimum wage of $15/hr is $2500/mth (before taxes). Add another $1000/mth for food, and $500/mth for other expeditures - and you can see that just to survive - a person in Toronto needs a minimum of $4500/mth to not be on the streets. And this is IFF they are not married and have kids which can easily drive expenses to $6000/mth\n\nSo... for someone to just live normally, they need a bare minimum of $30/hr for 2000hr/year - this is a salary of $60K before taxes!\n\nBut the median income in Canada is 35K to 40K (it's on your tax return which determines if you get extra help from the government).\n\nSo... with these prices - you will never get low wage workers here... period. You can't expect immigrants to work as slaves and then pull your country out of the mess you created by spending money on useless programs like a drunken sailor.\n\nCut costs, cut taxes, cut inflation (stop printing money), cut useless programs (ala DOGE in the US), allow housing to crash, diversify your economy, invest in start ups and entrepreneurs, increase salaries, scrap the carbon tax, etc. Notice - none of these have anything to do with immigration.

Well said!!! We need immigrants with the skills that Canada needs and who make a big effort to come!! Not immigrants who only ask things to the country and bring bad habits to this beautiful place

Even with all of the problems, it’s still one of the safest places for LGBT+ folks like me to go to. I hope that I’m able to get in.

I agree with you. I came here as a child in early 90s, Canada was the best place to be.

Hello Anna and Anastasia your channel is truly a hidden gem full of useful information and insight. I am an international student myself and I agree with all your points in the video, Canada used immigration to fix a deeper problem and that is its difficulty to incentivize the economy by having a heavily regulated environment, high taxes and low productivity. It will definitely alleviate some of the pressure on the system but, the real cause is still there. The first sector that is going to be affected will be the education as colleges and universities became over reliant with the revenue coming from Int. Students (which is not particularly small) and institution will need to adapt. When I first came here I fell in love with the country and I really feel fortunate to enjoy this beautiful place and doing everything to assimilate and integrate myself into the culture. I think here you can have a sense of hope of things improving in the future (something that is not the case in my home country) but if they do not fix the underlying problem it does not matter how much immigration they reduce, Canadians will not see a significant improvement. Keep the awesome work!!!

Absolute embarrassment that this twit was elected in the first place.. truly he is a village idiot!

Can’t wait to see Trump put ole Jim in his place again

The letter should be read and shared complete not only a portion, It seems like this time the new Mexican president it’s very well prepared, she knows how to lead and answer in a very pacific way, she knows how to put people in their places and this is a very good thing, she is what Mexican people needed long time ago,. Bravo for Mexico.

As an immigrant myself, I think you should adapt to the place you move to. I dont think Canadian born are annoyed by skin tones or even releigion being different, its the resistance to leave their culture and their intention to live like they are back home that is not seen well.

Why should Americans and other countries have to be placed at a disadvantage because some weak saltines can’t control themselves and other saltines are the ones smuggling drugs into America?

CNN once again leaves out the full letter that she wrote. She put trump in his place and called him out on his bs . I think Trump is making imaginary shit up to look “strong”.

Send them home and close the boarders. There's not enough places to live and resources for those already in Canada. One of the reasons most don't have a GP.

Tap water ??? YO as someone who has also lived both places this is TRUEEEE

Mayb the US can't buy their products at all. Would that work? Why would she allow millions of illegal aliens to travel through her country. She had not done anything to stop border crossings. A 2 yr old, 7 and 8 yr Olds crossing alone. Child abuse. Placing children at risk. Terrible terrible to allow children to b abandoned

In the past 12 years. Donald trump by far had the best foreign policy and economy. Trump brought in revenue from places liberals never went to. North korea is getting politically angry again and biden and Kim havent exchanged 1 word.(weak leadership)

George St in the summer is one of the best places you could be as a 19-30 year old. It’s a party all summer long!

Please stop thinking that America is where you come for a dream? this is the place where people live? an invasion because you wanna follow a dream? it’s time to wake up?

Lol shes not a president lol she was placed there by the cartel

I can't take CNN advertisement, I instantly click away, Asi sse it as an insult to my intelligence are you actually trying to make American people dumb, and stupid ?\nAnd you can't live in USA unless your sick and have a condition that require a pill from pill TV ? \nAre people really this dumb that they can't see what takes place. Something are very wrong when American people can't point out USA on a world map ? instead of tarifs maybe you should try education

It seems to me better than punitive percentage tariffs is that each foreign country can buy American products first from tracked like product categories. The United States Counts how many units of that type of United States made product was bought first by a foreign  country. Then United States consumers, or companies are allowed to buy the same matching unit count of foreign products from like categories.  In this way no foreign company selling into the United States can fluid the United States Market with cheap foreign government subsidized goods. In this tracked unit count system of fair trade one American made unit sale for one foreign made like unit sale can take place.

Trump said: “I’m going to make America great again by placing tariff on other countries. To lower the price in America, I’ll raise the price outside of America .”

As a Canadian all I can say is that it is time to find better partners then a quixotic USA. Here is a great option for Canada and Mexico: we have 2 months to negotiate with China and set up back-end rebates to incentivize Canadian companies to export places other than the USA. Now we can have a trade war and starve the USA of necessary products because we found other markets.

This is one of the most delusional news channels I have ever seen, but the worst part is the facts that viewers believe what they say. Inflation occurs when the federal government places to much money in circulation. The Biden administration cut the key stone pipeline, subsequently increasing the cost of oil and gas, while negating the billions being brought in via oil exports. Gave a sizable portion of the stretegic oil reserve to non stretegic countries, increased Government spending on bad programs, sent several hundred billion to fund non stretegic foreign wars and hundreds of billions on housing, medical care and debit cards for illegal immigrants, while doing nothing for Maui, North Carolina and Florida or the millions of homeless and diplaced Americans and American veteran.\nAs for this Mexico issue. The people have spoken. Border counties filled with legal immigrants but flooded with violent illegals voted for Donald Trump because they are living the nightmare created by Mexico and the Biden administration, that these media and political hacks theorize about. The Mexican government has failed its people by allowing the Cartels to fill their pockets with billions every year. \nMexico is also working with China to funnel Chinese goods through Mexico in an attempt to bypass tariffs and flood the American economy with cheap Chinese goods. Don't let this Mexican president fool you, they are afraid of Trump holding them accountable for facilitating this mass invasion on the border. She made this statement publicly as a shakedown tactic instead of talking directly to President Trump. Her actions should tell you all that you need to know about these political puppets. In conclusion, Tariffs are affective because these greedy American and Foreign corporations use cheap labor to make cheap goods that they then sell for major profit. Tariffs tend to make these companies movie to America create American Jobs and pay higher American salaries which are a significant savings over tariffs. The companies lose considerable profits but they gain market share because they understand that when you raise the price of goods you only make the American alternative more appealing.

Zionist placed Mexican President=We DO Not care about importing your chiklets.

We are already paying tariffs that Mexico has in place for our goods . We've been lazy and just tolerating it.

No market is bigger than capitalist America. They can do what they want but socialism does'nt run without handouts. In Canada's case its the immigrant $$$ from saver, bigger, better economies and capitalist Greatness of America. Even with all that help Canada's GDP per capita is going down for 10 yrs. Without that help, worthless Canada would be below Thailand today which is also the rightful place for an unproductive country with extortionist socialists running the country

If they want to keep their custom and culture festival, back to their country.\n\nThe world is a multiple-cultures place, each country is for the only typical culture \n\nAny multiple-cultures propaganda is all lies & dangerous.

Here’s an idea USA returns to a prime industrial nation that’s what made it the best country in the world in the first place. Trump has many flaws when it comes to tariffs but maybe the balance is that return to producing in the country.

I got a box of something that a factor ??a fact a serious box is a fact ????yes sir CNN ?I got this 20sq.feet to sure tell you right now man what's up now Department of Defense. A fact ???yes sir right now man a fact because who over us and who under us a factor ?yes sir man is there a bunker for United States of America right now we can get in to save our lives from the treason he doing right now because we sure looking for several ?yes hurry up and get us a place to get in right now ?hell yes facts because what he done did is straight up treason.

The Mexican President will learn her place very soon. Dear Madame President it is your abandoned two years being dump in the USA like a piece of garbage and not the other way around. Time the rest of the world learns to stand on their own two feet.

This is a woman putting a B I T C H in his place. He's full of hot air. He just talks tough to keep his lemmings believing he's macho and is in control.

Biden literally kept all Trump's previous tarrifs in place. You can't make this clown world woke reality up.?‍♂️

She needs to learn her place!

....or is it they wear sar...and it's for their safety concern as the Great White North is a very, very cold place, EH!!!?

Maybe it will cost money. But just don't forget who caused this problem in the first place.

Good for you for following your heart. Canada will always be my home and Native land, no place like home. Wish you the best.

Federal government has their priorities in the wrong place.

Honestly noone in their right mind would wanna stay in Canada...I use to think of Canada as a great beautiful country but then after visiting and seeing its a little India and that too very messy and unaffordable I realized mistake and came back..India is far more better than Canada cause whatver you make you can afrord a house or land and vacations too and all of that while living close to family \n\nOh also the healthcare is great in India cause in Canada you do pay high taxes for the so called FREE and still have no appointments for months so Canada is a bad place to live.

Only one billion of vasectomies could have been save the humanity and all these problems should not exist. \nThey are just looking to place to invaded to keep on to reproduce themselves and receiving money for doing it .
