Do yourself a favour. Don’t read the comments...a lot of toxicity coming from toxic people...being a Punjabi Indian living in Ottawa, I don’t mind people of any background (white, black, brown, etc.) as long as all respect the bylaws related to driving, house maintenance, garbage...what pisses me off is that people from my community (not all) are actually creating troubles...seen that...seen indians trashing on the streets to talking shit about white and black people in their language be it hindi or punjabi, rash driving, seen some good indians truly respecting the laws...maybe it’s time for the Canadian government to realise that laws should be tightened and people disobeying the laws should face harder penalties...

*THIS IS WHY WE NEED TO ENSURE IMMIGRANTS HERE ARE COMING TO PRACTICE CANADIAN VALUES! YOU SIMPLY CANNOT HAVE A COUNTRY THAT HAS THEM ALL WITHIN POCKETS OF THE COUNTRY, ALL IT DOES IS DIVIDE PEOPLE!! IN CANADA WE PRACTICE CANADIAN CULTURE, HISTORY, THE RELIGION WE WERE FOUNDED ON, MORALS, LAWS... WHEN YOU BRING IN PEOPLE EN-MASS WHO HAVE TOTALLY DIFFERENT VALUES YOU GET POCKETS OF PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY WHO WANT/PRACTICE SOMETHING DIFFERENT. MULTICULTURALISM LIKE THAT CANNOT WORK!! NOW AS THE NUMBERS GROW - AND WE SEE THOSE EUROPEAN COUNTRIES WHO TRIED BEFORE US, LIKE THE UK, WE CAN SEE OUR FUTURE AND ITS NOT GOOD!!*

This is a very low% of westerns and of Canadian people they are good people subhanAllah look at U.S. and than talk wich have more racists and islamophobic people..... Infortunetely racist and brain washed people always exist warever they are western or eastern very sad.... As salamealeykum and one more time all my live and respect to this brave sikh brother

Racism has always been in Canada, dont be fooled. It may not be as prevalent as in other countries but racism is in fact here in Canada, I grew up here, Im a black born Canadian and dealt with it all my life. Mostly just taunting and name calling but one thing is certain, wherever you find white people you will find a lot of ignorance and even the good ones seem to always be a step or 2 away from a racist rant when they agitated. As long as they don't get violent with non whites then I guess we can deal with the slander and name calling. As a person with a darker hue, you will always be looked at like you are an Alien to them.

LOL anti islamic sentiments???? So basically Canada takes in alot of muslims same as Sweden....give them all these good things then islamic people calla canadians same as us swedish people anti islamic once they sees obstacles like they cant live as fundamentalist cavemen....huh intriguing...let me guess you canadians are also tired of living peaceful lives am i right? Lets spice things up with muslim immigration.

Stupid laws help criminals to make lots of money. And, people see no good reason to comply with irrational laws like this, so they find ways around them. \nIf you're granted permanent residency, why do you have to keep proving residency?\nWhat next? Fining citzens for going on holiday for too long and hence not paying enough into the Canadian Economy? If so, the CEO's of many major Canadian businesses will be hung out to dry. So, I suppose that's a stupid law which won't be brought in, as it would hurt the wrong people.

I live in Toronto n I respect Canadian culture as well. One should learn to mix up with other people and get respect in turn. I have problem with those who belittle their own country just to keep up appearances as Canadian. Be good Indian first then you will be good no matter where you live. Our actions here define the image of our country.

I know Canadians that are living in dumps these people are sleeping in good condition why not Canadians what is wrong I have to pay taxes and my daughter who is handy cap gets nothing from the government explain that, The welfare gave her 400. for a month to find a place you come and find a place. Now you have to eat buyfood and female things yes right I can't do it I want the government to put my daughter up in a hotel which is clean and feed her. She is dying so skinny.

after watching the video i felt bad for the canada immigration service as a naturalize Canadian i av to go by the books step by step and i have to wait for the outcome i was thinking of becoming a canada immigration officer just for de fun of it to chase down people who is in canada under falls pretense lol folks do not want to do things de honest way these days every body just want a ready fried donuts playing games so they must be more tight because i went in de right way , any ways they immigration is cool good people one love canada

I'M BROWN AND LIVE IN BRAMPTON. I HATE THIS PLACE WITH THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. NO CANADIAN CULTURE. IGNORANCE IN EVERY DIRECTION. THESE PPL DONT WANT TO ADAPT BUT KEEP THE SHITY OLD MENTALITY FROM INDIA. PARK WHEREVER AND DRIVE LIKE THEIR BLIND. THEY ONLY CARE AND WHAT'S CONVENIENT FOR THEM. ANY ONE DEFENDS THESE PEOPLE WITH THEIR COMMENTS BECAUSE THEY CANT TAKE THE TRUTH IS A PEICE OF SHIT. PLEASE BRAMPTON TAKE SHOWER. SMELL GOOD. STOP PLAYING THAT ANOYING MUSIC SO LOUD AND PROUD. REST OF US ARE LAUGHING AT YOU. THESE PPL GAVE BROWN FOLKS SUCH A BAD NAME. NOT ALL OF US ARE LIKE THIS. MAINLY BECAUSE WE ARE NOT FROM INDIA. THAT PLACE IS OUT OF CONTROL AND WHEN THEY COME HERE. THEY DO THE SAME. I WISH CANADIAN GOVERNMENT PUT STRICT RULES ON HOW TO MAINTAIN CANADIAN CULTURE FOR IMMIGRANTS. THINGS WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN THIS FAR. WHAT A DISGRACE!! AGGGHHH!!!

Can ANYONE and I mean ANYONE (preferably muslim) please tell me why ZERO of the rich wealthy countries arouns Syria didn't take any people in at all.The news and media don't even want to talk about it. I think its an honest question to ask and the media doesn't like it at all.It is good to help people and us Canadians love to talk about it but can't or don't want to admit that we can't even take care of our own backyards yet alone other people.

you need a certain amount of money to live on for 2 years plus job prospect plus no criminal record a good edjucation to come here legally so Canadians that pay super high taxes do not need to worry about taking care of people that think they can just come here and exspect its people.to support them and there families .You cant get welfare for 2 years either.We need to keep Canada a.smart and wealthy country .Yes we can help some in very bad situations but we are.only as strong as our weakest people . We need the best to be the best.To many people.think they can just come here because they feel like.it and they think they will have a easy life.\nWe.dont want any blood suckers only.good hard woking people.If that isnt you dont come because you wont be welcomed .If you are a good person then welcome to Canada and help us build this country and leave the bs that you left where you came from becauae we dont want it here..\nthanku

10 years for only 86% of people to start contributing and/or speak the language... That is not a good thing. You had to go back to the 70's to find a success story too? What does that say about the current situation? Asian Canadians tend to assimilate much better than other groups and it took a group of them a long time to do partially do so. How are the tens of thousands of people doing that hate us and our culture?

You're supposed to have an emotional response to this and reflexively demand that these individuals get to stay despite the fact that they broke the law to get in. However it's important to note that every time someone like this man selfishly breaks the law to cross the border another man with a family just like his, that is going through the process legally gets screwed over. This is what happens when people listen to the left's fabricated, emotionally potent, oversimplifications with regards to policy. The people you claim to care about and want to be charitable towards, get hurt. This is one of the fundamental reasons why politicians like Justin Trudeau are such human garbage. Our borders need to be tightened for the good over everyone involved, especially Canadians. To do otherwise will just hurt people in the long run.

Terrorism,protected in Canada,stand up people wake up Trudeau has done this the liberal government should be jailed for their pushing their evil agenda upon the Canadian people,if they are afraid good ,obey the laws of the land,l can't believe this women about being threatened,more like she threatens others ,Cannot see any one looking at her in any way.

worst prime minister in canadian history. in the good ol' days he'd be hanged by the people.

As a Canadian screw Trudeau . I'm ashamed to call him my prime minister. At least his dad gave us the bill of rights and freedoms which is a historic document... His son aka Justin is literally ruining Canada .\n\nSo far he's put us in a tonne of debt , has no economic knowledge/political experience, is a hypocrite, went back on his promise for electoral reform (as the old system made him win lol) , is an Islamic extremist apologist , literally gave millions of tax $ to a terrorist because he was detained in Guantanamo aka Omar Khadar -_- etc ... The list goes on.\n\nWasting my tax dollars on people who not only are breaking the law but it's a joke - They just literally walk on over. Many have no skills or anything to actually bring to Canada either. They're not asylum seekers. They're economic migrants who broke the law by coming to the states illiegaly. Now because you actually have a president with balls to kick them out to where they came from they're coming to Canada where they know our PM can't even admit there's such a thing as an extremist Muslim. \nHe keeps using the excuse that Canada was built on immigrants. Yes. True. Legal ones. Or legitimate refugees fleeing war or persecution. Not bloody Donald Trump and a pretty developed / stable country aka the US. Smh. \n\nThe only good thing he's done is legalize weed and even then he's managed to screw it up by making it a government monopoly vs a free market the many US states have where entrepreneurs can thrive.

People who believe his BS should open ur door and invite the refugees to live at ur house and use ur money! \nAll the tax we pay benefits the people who don’t pay themselves. Goes to people do nothing, all they will be doing is sitting their fat ass in hotel paid by us! Room service included! People who support Trudeau will make Canada go broke! Keep it up! Support him! U will start to need pay ur own medical bills and school. Because all the “free” Benefits will go to refugees! Good thing they keep coming to spend our tax dollars or we might actually see something improve for Canadians.

If Trudumb gets re-elected in the coming year, the Canadians deserve what they get. Many Canadian people can't afford good food, clothing and utilities and Trudumb is suggesting laviously treating illegals to free Hotel Rooms, room service, saunas, hot tubs and don't forget the free cell phone! WTH is going on?

Oh my God please bless the good people of Canada... Wake up you tax-paying can make Canadian citizens... Or don't

SEND THEM ON A CARNIVAL CRUISE TOO WHY DON'T YOU. THEN CLUB MED, SANDALS AND BILL THE CANADIAN PEOPLE, GOOD PLAN

Hey handsome Canadian Trudeau he in loves with Muslim and the Canada country wide open door to welcome all China & all Muslim to Canada. You got it Trudeau. Happy for you Muslim Trudeau you must talk to our President & hide his company to build fantastic Hotel for your illegals Immigration! TRUMP FOR 2020 OUR PRESIDENT TAKEN GOOD CARE FOR AMERICAN FOR SO LONG ALL FORMER PRESIDENT FORGOTTEN AMERICAN PEOPLE! IN USA WE ARE SO SICK OF ILLEGALS IMMIGRATION HERE IN USA, LOT OF USELESS PEOPLE LAZY JUST DEPEND ON WELFARE FOREVER!

The woman is not a Canadian citizen the canadians are good and educated people.

I was born in Seattle and left to Canada (married) when I was in early 20's!  This then was a good change for me as Vancouver was a great city compared to Seattle, moved right downtown and had a blast so for a young person (then) was great.  Met some great people from all over the world and had health care, medical/Dental etc.... I worked in the greater Vancouver area for 8 years and it was tough, very strict, and did not help that I was from the states, white bread Canadian seemed a bit jealous that I was there, sometimes not very friendly.  The Europeans I met were actually better to deal with and I got along quite well with them.  The cost of living was about the same as in Seattle.  After about 8 years being in Canada and working hard I saw America booming and the Canadian dollar was as low as $.62 cents (in late 90's) so I took my craft from Vancouver and brought it to the US just across the border, I became much happier working in the States, I took a little bit of bs but not bad from some that I had a Canadian accent (go figure when I moved up there I had a twang) I really never left the united states I will always be American and I have been still working in the US for over 20 years and deal with mainly Americans on a daily basis from all over the State of Washington.  Depending on where you grow up or end up you should never see a border Seattle and Vancouver have more in common than Vancouver / Calgary in fact most Canadians don't care much for the other provinces.  After 30 years of being part of both countries, I can say that people are people both have great offerings and if you took the best of Canada and America to combine then we would all prosper, there is so much both can learn from each other.  Bottom line:I take the best of both worlds and what they have to offer, yes, I have found less expensive goods in Canada than what they cost in the states.  I have seen it from both eyes, and if you cant be open culturally then stay away.

I thought Canadians were good people ?

there is racism and prejudice everywhere. on every level no matter gender, race, religion, culture. etc. no matter where you go. but if these guys take a trip to any of those corrupted third world backwards countries they would see how good they really have it. us foolish americans canadians dont know how good we have it. we are living in the freest country nation and society ever seen in the history of the world. at least our country creates new laws every year to make our people feel safe. but other islamic countries continue following laws made in the 15th century. do you see and appreciate the difference.\n\nsure people will label you based off your skin tone and your demeanor. BUT WHY? because they have had bad history with those that look just like you. i have had REALLY REALLY bad experiences with asians in everything. so i naturally stay away from all asians and i do not trust them. HOWEVER, i feel when foreigners come to this country they ruin it for the rest of the citizens that are of similar foriegn race eventhough they were born there. WE NEED TO PUT OUR NATIONS CULTURES first. and thats what we have to teach everyone. we put our canada america pride priority and whatever culture we came from LAST. THATS WHY its best we learn to fix our people in a whole in our country before bringing in anymore foreigners who do not respect our nation. lets stop third world immigration and work on making our country great again. so we can stop all this crime in our neighborhoods. because it hinders our progress. once every race color ethnicity of people are acting right then we will have no prejudice based off color or even gender because everyone is giving everyone respect. but because CRIME IS HIGH in all foreign races, and we continue to disrespect eachother. nobody feels safe anymore. whether your light skinned white or black.

Good for Trudeau. No troublemakers. Why should he shit on Canadians for some ineffective outsiders. Good for Canadians. In less than a decade all Canadians will be gentrified and homeless fooling around with these rude no class assholes. They will refuse to even learn Canadian customs or respect Intersex people and create a total imbalance in the universe that will result in all types of natural disasters. Get a fucking Robot to pick produce! Hire kids to work in fast food! Robots are cleaner anyway.

The only Blacks allowed to live in Canada are those that are from the Caribbean Islands as part of North America and the Royals as Knights of Canada who are Black Indians as Métis and they are the famous Singers in Toronto and also famous Hollywood Actors. Nobody else is allowed to be here except Black Americans but they never are here in Canada. The only time we ever had African Americans in Canada were the ones using the Underground Railroad to escape Slavery in southern USA from English Slave traders in the South. They were here in Toronto in 1814 and stayed for 13 months and then left again as it is too cold here for Africans and they got help to avoid Andrew Jackson and his slave traders to escape back to Africa to the Ivory Coast. That is the only real Black African History of Canada. There is no other. The people in this video are all Arab Fakers shaped to look African Canadian. We had ?? Jamaicans living here in Toronto as temporary refugees because of mob takeover in Kingston Jamaica. That was done on Judgement Day as they all as he'd. The mob there were Nigerian Scammers who were part of the script to take over the King's Town against the Royals. On occasion there were Lawyers studying here in Toronto from Trinidadand Tobago who are very nice and I met a couple one at the Crown Attorneys Office where I worked and I befriended her and she is Court Justice in Trinidad when needed. And the other is from Tobago and she worked as the lawyer at the law firm where Gabriel Macht and Patrick J. Adams worked as the real lawyer in the TV series Suits filmed in Toronto. It was too dangerous though for her to work with the walking bomb clones of Megan Markle and Sarah Rafferty coming in to the office so she left and I had to take over her role as the Black Lawyer in Suits so by Season 3 I had to take over almost completely but she did a lot of the lawyering scenes and really deserves the credit as a really good lawyer who us real. She won the Emmy and deserved it as the only Female Black Actress to win any Award ever. So congratulations to her as a great Actress. We tried to keep t manipulation of Megan Markle to a minimum but dud include what she was attempting to do off camera to get into Harvard Law to one up Patrick J Adams who she discredited as a Harvard Law Graduate. She was always a problem for the Crown Attorneys in particular him as her target. I was targeted by her as well when studying at UofT and so I know from her behaviour off camera the real nastiness she has as Arab of Dubai toward us as Royals as Canadians. It really is a hatred and jealousy. Unfortunately the Arabs are War Criminals of being unknown largely as part of WWII so their animosity seems to be modern but it really is a very long standing Jealousy of Jesus. Anyway all of the real Caribbean Islanders all passed Judgement on Judgement Day and God brought them home to the Islands. Queen of Canada ? Royal Chieftain of Indians of America ?? who is Métis

what ever happened to the good ole Christians like come on people are we really that dam stupid these days moder canadians dont know anything

Canada sounds identical to Australia except the weather is warm here not cold I think I'd say Canadian people I prefer but than America has everything available which can be a good thing or a bad thing thoughts from melbourne

Always. The blame pointed at us TRUE Canadians. The fear comes from not knowing which of you are good or bad. Don't blame Harper. I watched a group of you downtown demanding blasphemy against Mohammad be made illegal. HERE, in Canada. You people are sick. Go home

I would very much like the muslims to tell us real Canadians what contributions that they are making to our country as a whole. How are they making life in Canada better? How are they bringing stability and growth to our country? They spend time teaching their silly little book to the people in their flock but nothing about Canada, our values, our hopes and aspirations for the country. The silly little book does nothing to further the common good of Canada. It only forwards the wants of the muslim community.\nAnd finally, religion is the bane of intellectual thought. No one and I mean no one, can know about the mind of a god that does not exist.

many old stock Canadians do not want this in Canada...more foreigners...more people from another planet to get used to....more multi culturism being shoved down our throats...old Canada is slipping away fast...thanx to Justin and others like him who came before. I ask the white liberals ...how much multi culturism is to much?  ive been noticing that wherever I go in Vancouver, to a mall, coffee shop, walking down a busy street iam a mirority. is this good? I give it another 50yrs u will not recognize this country

As a multi generational Canadian, I don't really care whether they cover their face or not. That's their choice. During my life I've seen all these different forms of conservative dress from catholic nuns, to Hutterites to Mennonites and these people are just part of the mix. What this is designed to do is to create a barrier between themselves and the larger society which is fine. I would never interact with one of these woman ever because the thin flimsy barrier makes it clear that she is not interested in talking to anyone for any reason and again this is fine. If she was with a man I would talk only with the man and completely ignore her and if she was with a male child I would talk to the male child, not to her. I don't normally chat with women who are strangers other than now and then in a supermarket line or whatever. This face thingy frees me from the need of chitchat small talk and I'm good with that. In any case we would have absolutely nothing in common.

this 'muslim women' not wearing nikab is so full of shit its not even funny. why is indonesia and malyasia islamic countries. did muslims go there and start wars, NO. these asians accepted the religion because of their research and analysis of authentic textual evidence. spain was a muslim country for years and those years in history contained some of the best times for civil justice in that region. the reason she's not covering her hair probably has to do with the fact that arabic is not even her first language and if you put a gun to this chicks head and told her to recite surat al faitha (something muslims suppose to say 17 times per day) she couldnt do it in a million years. this same woman also said in the interview that the sixth pillar of islam is jihad\nin fundementalism and thats a lie. the sixth pillar of islam is considered to be al kadr (believe in predistination) and the fact that this ignorant woman had the call to go on national televison and speak about islam like she actually knew or understood anything is dispicable because non of the shit that this stupid bitch said in the interview was factually correct about the religion , so why don't you get the actual facts citynews you bunch of dusters and stop airing fear mongering macivalian style tatics to slowly rip away human rights to freedom of self expression to prodominately new immigrant canadians. these fresh immigrants have been through enough with out you rich good looking assholes shitting all over them. you anti-islam people are dicks
