Trudeau's diversity it's insanity we are becoming a third world country its not only ontario you can notice the change everywhere in Canada.

Where is the diversity?

No diversity. Its all Indians.

The government should ban Indians from coming to Canada for a decade at least, give priority to eastern europeans for example if they truly care about diversity, otherwise, this diversity claim is a lie if u bring 70 % Indians while others contribute only 30%

What is 'Canadian heritage?' What is a Canadian? I am not a liberal or even in favor of diversity but this video is downright racist. If people are not breaking the law and Canada's immigration system lets them in, leave them alone. Everyone wants a better life if they can get one. Whether Canada actually offers a better life to immigrants is a much more pertinent question.

I'm in Surrey BC and we are about 97% East Indian. Where is the diversity? It is similar in other municipalities in the lower mainland. I am definitely a foreigner in my own country.

Downtown old Brampton is actually diverse. There are pockets that are 99% South Asian

Brampton was nice place to live back in the day. Now it is a shithole, infested with crime, violence and everything else. Toronto has been well upon its way there for more than a decade . I guess cultural enrichment and diversity struck again. \n\nThis what happens when a country no longer controls its borders and has no say as to who comes in and how many. Canadians are living those end results and consequences in real time. The thing is that too many of them voted for this and are too passive, apathetic or spineless to say or do anything. Which isn’t necessarily all that different from the rest of Western countries.\n\nPeople who don’t care about Canada, Canadian culture, values etc. Canada has just become a port of convenience, where people, like in this case from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka etc., land, and are more interested in “what can you give me”, “ what can you do for me”, no forethought of hey, maybe this is a two-way street where something is also expected from me to give back to the country and society that gave me an opportunity. If this is allowed to continue it will only get worse.

Diversity is our weakness

It's important to recognize that unless you're indigenous, your family also immigrated to this land at some point. They too might have faced the feeling of being a minority in a place that was once their own. So, let's be mindful of history and embrace diversity rather than perpetuate division.

I'm not against immigration, but in moderation. My best friend in grade 6 was and Indian girl, that was a long time ago. I have friends of all backgrounds, but we need equality and diversity spread out! We can't have immigrants piled into one area taking it over and having all the other cultures leave. That's not proper immigration or diversity. When my child's school has to recognize Ramadan and other ethnic holidays, it's not right. WE didn't move to India, they came here. THEY must adopt our cultural ways in public. Wear what you want, but don't force my city, my children to adopt your ways.

I never understood people who think diversity is good thing. Why would you think 100 people with 100 different opinions be a good thing?

2017: “To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength.” - Justin Trudeau\n2024:

It's India plus inclusivity and diversity. If you happen to be a white in the job market and share familiar credentials, guess what the deal breaker is going to be

This is Canadian Little India, embrace and respect the diversity, Namaste ?

Unity NOT diversity!!!

Muh diversity

Diversity is our strength...Thats why this country is going down hill.. #f#ck Trudeau.

i work in small town in bc...we have lots of transitional contractors and work force members, lots of diversity. i have met people from all over the world and they all claim the nationality of being canadian or a new canadian from whatever country.\ni have also met several people who claim their non canadian nationality while some make quips about how canadian women are supposed to be docile. one guy actually said to me that he doesn't like how i am too strong willed, unlike the girls in the gta who don't do direct eye contact. i deadpanned him and informed him that western girls are different, our western men are good enough to stand beside us when dealing with mental midgets!

Diversity has never been a strength

Diversity is our strength. What a load of ?

My Indian friends complain about Brampton being too Indian. Yet the Markham folks want more Chinese and wish their lack of diversity for the whole country. India is our friend, China is our enemy

Diversity is our strength! Diversity is our strength!\n\nBaloney!

Diversity is our strength! Canada is being chopped up into sects, they will all have their own countries within a country, just like Quebec, soon will have their own language rights, and their own laws supporting their religions, electing their own to change Canada into the shit holes they came from

Diversity. It's our strength.

Listen as a minority person who is proud of my heritage but grew up here with immigrant parents who were given refuge in Canada, I can understand immigration. But...its getting out of hand, most of them are from India, most of them have homes in India and often return there for long vacations, These are not refugees or a diverse spread of peoples coming here. I am not hateful in any way but sometimes you have to tell it like it is, A lot of these people are not adapting to the culture here, why? Because most of them are grown already and are used to their own customs, with an ever increasing population now living here they don't really feel the need to learn or adapt because there are less regular Canadians. When I was in school it was already pretty multi-cultural and diverse although yes in my area there are less asians and black people, we had a lot of European(Serbian/Romanian) in particular. Now I go to the store and it's like 80% brown/Indian people lol, even my neighbors, most have moved out and more indian families are moving in. My city is expanding into like a mini Toronto when we can't even handle it, people cant even find jobs, people need all this other stuff, Its just too many all at once, crime rates have gone up over the last few years, this doesn't help anyone, immigrants either.

You are doing a difficult topic. Everybody has their own individual experience in this large diverse country. Hope you manage to get well established here and can succeed. It's easy to get swayed by a lot negative narratives out there; but Canada has great potential if more intelligent, young, and energetic immigrants like you, work to improve their lives here! Thanks for your balanced views that hopefully inspire immigrants to persevere and make Canada better and reach It's potential in this crazy world!

DIVERSITY IS…NOT….OUR STRENGTH.

I'm all for ethnically diverse neighborhoods but there is a point where they become big enough, made up entirely of one ethnicity, no incentive to integrate or adopt the customs or even laws of the host country that it eventually becomes a foreign nation state occupying a part of Canada. Even more troublesome when the narrative is that Canada is a postnational state and that everything that came before is all bad and needs to be torn down and/or forgotten. What has attracted immigrants to Canada over time is Canadian values, all that has been built and defended in Canada. Now older generations of immigrants are complaining that Canada is turning into an oppressive, crime ridden state like the countries they fled from. That the Canadian values they cherish are being subverted.

Diversity is trash. Multicultural is suicide

I don't know why we keep using this term visible minority. 80% is not a minority. 80% is a majority. Anything over 50% is a majority. Anything less than 50% is a minority. Even Toronto as a whole is less than 50% Canadian. Canadians are now visible minorities in Canada. Canada is probably the only country in the entire that was stupid enough to allow this to happen. Even the immigrants are starting to have an issue with immigration because Canada is not starting to resemble the places that they were so desperate to immigrate away from.\n\nCompanies have put programs in place to promote diversity and inclusivity. The vast majority of recruiters and hiring managers in Canada are now Asian. Asians only hire other Asians. I am now being discriminated against in Canada for being Canadian. If Canadians are a visible minority in Canada then it is no longer Canada.

This is not diversity. Diversity means ppl from all over the world not 1 country. This is sad.

Auto theft ring headquarters....Brampton. Diversity is NOT a strength....it's a severe disadvantage and needs to stop immediately.

Diversity was supposed to be our strength. Not much diversity in Brampton.

This is why mass immigration is foolish. People will always have to choice to leave. So more foriegn move in, more canadians move out, essentially just replacement. No diversity utopia as promised lol. Great journalism again.

Benefiting from the kind hearted nature of Canadians who open their arms expecting their gesture of being diverse would be reciprocated only to be spit in the face . \n\nDoes India encourage diversity ? Nope . They want the benefits of diversity but don’t want to assimilate and integrate . \n\nCaste system , corruption , racism , zero desire to integrate , littering . \n\nSelf centred narcissistic and evil . Only out for them selves and no respect to the nation that blessed them with opprotunity . \n\nCanada will fall as less and less are serving Jesus ; Jesus was the center price of Europe , America and Canada . \n\nWithout Jesus nations become like the same Islamic/Hindu counties these immigrants escape . \n\nIf you want to truly fight the culture war put Jesus as number one in your life . All Western countries are built on Jesus . Kick Jesus out and what makes these countries great from a cultural perspective leaves quickly.

And in the west, we have Richmond the capital of Hongcouver. ? Diversity is our strength eh?

Amazing how Trudope pushes diversity, yet Brampton is anything but diverse. That place has become a mono cultural cesspool. Terrible.\nI do have great respect for the Indian culture, its history and great people, but I personally would never choose to live in a town or city that is inundated with one specific culture, no matter the culture or ethnicity.

One word I have learned to despise ... diversity. Not really over used or highlighted in other countries. Here it is like a mission statement and over used, abused and bolstered to be an excuse for giving way to mass immigration. I will never go to Bramledesh or Scarborough. Just childhood memories when it used to be decent Canadian cities. Now, just crime ridden anti white slumvilles. Maybe I am way off, however it has been my observation for the last 20 years and I have every reason to avoid ever going there.

Sault Ste Marie has had an influx of East Indian students in the last 8 years, and now thx to Trudeau, it looks like a suburb of India. Young Saultites now have to compete for jobs without success. Go to the local KFC where all the employees are East Indian and speaking a foreign language behind the counter. This is not my hometown. I celebrate and welcome diversity but this is overkill!

This isn't something exclusive to Brampton anymore. Here in Niagara Region, and from comments I have been reading below it is happening all over Southern Ontario and across major cities across our great nation. So before some lib-tard starts at me.... Canada was built on immigration as a mosaic, not a melting pot; however if that mosaic isn't woven with diverse threads then..... the idealistic principle of that mosaic goes out the window, and we are left with Canadians being left behind. This is Trudeau's fault along with the housing minister, the deputy PM and the entire Liberal/NDP coalition. What is the fix? SEND ALL LIBERALS PACKING NEXT ELECTION.

Markham, ON and Richmond Hill, ON have been high 80% Mandarin Chinese since the 1990's. Why? Diversity is our strength?

Diversity is out strength. Vafanculu

Too many embedded ethnic enclaves is not diversity, it's gonna descend into tribalism and religious/political turf wars like the Eritreans ...

DIVERSITY IS OUR STRENGTH?

India is a lovely country unity in diversity best to be in motherland ?

Customer was right that diversity guys should carry change, don't know own why media is trying to give it a racial color.

We are being displaced deliberately in this country and have been for a number of years. Multiculturalism and Ethnic diversity does not work. Look at the mess we are in now. We are losing our Canadian culture. We are being pushed aside. Thanks Pierre and Justin Trudeau for destroying Canada.

Diversity is our strength, as in different shawarma choices.

He clearly invited the problem, remember when he said diversity is our strength ? Come on in, the back door is wide open.....
