Foreigner vs. foreigner. Do a Google image search for: Toronto WWII Victory Day. Nobody cared about the founding population. I have no sympathy for people who wish to replace it. Couldn't care less.

I got my PR in Canada in 2022, I went there and lived for 3 months and came back. I was better off in my home country than live in a rat race all my life in Canada freezing. Also I realise I was in Punjab instead of Toronto, wasn't expecting the quality of life which I was getting there.

Lesson learned, NEVER NEVER RENT IN Ontario, and especially Toronto...

Toronto ? 41,000 ? So... she's only a few months late then....

In Mexico even Scotiabank lure you to move. I started to call it “algorithm recruitment”. If you start looking into this ads then next ad is the WEF ranking of the best cities in the world. Calgary, Vancouver and Toronto are in the Top 10.

I think it would be better if someone cannot afford to live in Toronto then to relocate. Living in Ontario is expensive especially in Toronto. I also think that is a lot of money she owes.\n\nRegarding myself I have an idea of how expensive Ontario is, but I have not visited all of the Canadian provinces, so I am wondering what life is like in different parts of Canada.

Perth to anywhere in Canada is a huge mistake. We are thinking of moving to Perth from Toronto and hate what Justin Trudeau did to Canada.

whatever happens to NYC, it happens to Toronto. we are America Jr

I was watching Flight Radar. I clicked on a Random flight coming to Toronto Pearson. It was Air India, It was supposed to land just across the lake in USA. It had been diverted. I wonder if it was diverted intentionally so all of them could stay in Canada? We build 200K homes a year, we bring in more than 500K people/year. U Can't get a job, all places are hiring newcomers cuz the Gov offers them subsidies to help pay their wages. Meanwhile, Canadians end up homeless.

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.

Enough!!!! We are broken after 8 yrs of the fool. Now that being said it’s Toronto voting Trudeau in so now reap the rewards

Im a teenager living in Toronto and its hard seeing rent for my cramped apartment go up when its already hard for family to pay. The only way I think I can be happy is to move away as so many people come in to the country I hold dear.

Rent in Montreal is cheaper than in Toronto or Vancouver. I have a friend there in a two bedroom apartment and her rent is way cheaper than a one bedroom that my niece is renting here in Toronto.

Canada can't even take care of it's own people at all! We lack infrastructure is so many ways! All this immigration is not sustainable for Canada! Is NOT JUST TORONTO!!!

No money for people but 18 new mosques were built around toronto.. welcome to the Trudeau's Canada..

Housing is the bigger problem, not the immigrants. We allowed foreign buyers to mop up all the detached and artificially raise prices. Now homes are 8-10x income when banks will only lend you 4x. How does that math work? Are Canadians supposed to have 600k saved if they want to buy a start 1M detached in Toronto? There are a multitude of issues in Canada right now.

I didn’t realize there was that much poverty in Toronto

Canada has long been oversold. My parents emigrated to Toronto in the mid-50s but returned to the UK in 1970. Back in Britain, they were quickly able to enjoy a much higher standard of living than they could in Canada.

Went to hospital today in Toronto and literally place was filled with i Indians!! They come in swarms

I used to like Toronto! Now it's too crowded and over priced! Probably the worst city in Canada!

The only way from Toronto is Niagara Falls and you have to cross a bridge with lots of border agents. So Toronto isn’t the problem. We have Lake Ontario surrounding our boarder\n\nBtw our planes flew with yours. Not needing you But HELPING YOU when Russia flew close to ASASKA !!! DO BETTER RESEARCH!! \n??propaganda ??‍♀️

Issues of toronto are not new. I was in toronto for few months in 2010 and I felt, it doesn't make sense to be here. This is why people prefer USA.

You could pretty much substitute the words *_Australia_* for *_Canada_* and *_Melbourne and Sydney_* for *_Toronto and Vancouver_* right through this piece and it would be valid.

I go to a big college here in Toronto not naming names but almost all the students are international students and when we have special events at school no food is left for others due to the number of students that their is. I think schools make a big profit of international students along with the government so they live 10 in a house.

I moved here to in Toronto 2021 I went to Toronto Island first time you will see There are still a lot of whites, and other nationalities. Fast forward to 2024 I went back to Toronto Island guess what On the ferry left and right you will see indians no white people

There’s lots of affordable homes in areas like Niagara. \nPeople need to stop trying to find housing in Toronto. It’s just not affordable.

People don’t always need to move to Toronto. It’s a big country- go where the work is and where housing is cheaper- prairies or east coast or Quebec. You don’t need to settle in Toronto.

we have land from windsor to toronto emtpy why??

No family doctors accepting patients, crime on the rise, dirty streets, Toronto is not what it use to be even 10 years ago!

Canada has a serious problem dealing with a large influx of migrants coming from India. I am American who just traveled to Toronto last week and noticed Indians are everywhere, literally everywhere. It makes me wonder why so I looked into some statistics which showed the number of immigrants coming into Canada from India is equivalent to the number of immigrants coming from many other countries combined. Immigration itself is fine but why importing so many people from one particular country India - this is the question Canadian citizens should ask their government

Toronto is not the city I once knew - we are failing to protect and set up new infrastructure and people are suffering

********Important**********************Since I've been living in Canada for more than two years, the immigration protests you mentioned have occurred. To put it briefly, everyone moves to different provinces for PR, just like I did when I studied in Toronto for two years. The CRS score for PR is significantly higher there, and there aren't as many easy possibilities, therefore students there relocate. The protest is taking place in Prince Edward Island, where I moved a few months ago. They are protesting for the extension of their work permit and the opening of those easy PR draws, which are currently paused. I moved here in order to obtain PR, but I worry that this protest is inappropriate. Because everyone must submit a statement of purpose (SOP) when applying for a visa to Canada, and in that statement you clearly indicate that you will return to your home country after completing your studies and working there. However, if this statement is not clear, the visa officer may reject your application, stating that they believe you will not return home after completing your studies and working there. In order to avoid having our visa applications denied, we always attempt to assure the officer that we will return home. You have no right to request a PR, an extension of your work visa, or anything else if you have made this statement of purpose plain on your own. If you're thinking about moving to Canada, always make sure that the government is in charge. When I planned, getting our PR was simple, and now that they've changed the laws and regulations, they have rights as immigrants, so nobody should fight against getting PR and a work visa, etc.

Honestly as an Immigrant I was definitely lied to by the country of Canada, and tbh this concern is lined with racism to an extent, but there are some valid concern for the most part. \n\nCanadian universities came to me high school, one of the academically successful high schools on my island and tried to take every single high performing student. Honestly immigrantion is an issue for everyone, but it won’t stop until the bigger western countries stop making oppressive laws forcing people out of their country. \n\nThis is not the immigrants problem, Canada is the problem. Also I lived in Toronto, the biggest issue is NOT immigration, the issue is the fact that they are tearing down cultural institutions to build condos. condos are a bigger problem than immigrants. Canada is pricing Canadians out of housing, then blaming immigrants. You guys need to see that for what it is, because a lot of us were lied to, Canada is lying to all of us, its citizens and its immigrants.

I'm an immigrant to Canada. I've been here for 35 years (came here when I was 6). The current immigration/migration/ayslum seeker rates have gone completely insane. It isn't racist to think it's gone overboard. I went to very very multicultural schools. I grew up in Toronto and have lived downtown for 20 years now. I love our multiculturalism but there are limits to immigration if there simply isn't an infrastructure to support countless hundreds of thousands of people trying to move into the city each year. It's not sustainable at all. The roads aren't getting bigger, the housing zoning isn't getting easier, new hospitals aren't being built. You cannot try and cram 4 million people in a city built for like 2 million people. People moving to Canada simply do not realize just how absurdly expensive this place has become. What's the better alternative being poor in India or being poor in Canada? Because unless you are making 100k a year you are going to basically be poor in Toronto.\n\nThe big big difference as someone who has lived downtown Toronto for 20 years is now the homeless are very multicultural. 10 years ago it wasn't like that as much. Now people from every race and every background are at risk of homelessness. It's a rate race, it's a very competitive city for housing and jobs and as soon as you aren't in making $$$$$ you will fall behind.

doomsday video from Toronto or Ottawa as usual, the rest of Canada is fine and is happy lol

There is plenty of vacant or underused housing in Toronto. The problem is that rich people ain't sharing.

Time to start exploring beyond Toronto and our big cities. Too many Canadians and new Canadians can't seem to look past Toronto. Those that can't pay the price, others make the big moves. I'd say quit complaining.

Lawyer with Rolex watch living in a storage shed for a decade is by choice. This is not to dispute the argument that Toronto or Canada in general has migrant/immigrant problems.

I live in Rochester, NY and travel to Toronto frequently. The traffic on the QEW is starting to become an issue. There's always a backup leading into the Gardiner Expressway. They were too many condos that were built and downtown and which is super unaffordable.

The problem is that everyone wants to come to the big cities, especially Toronto.

Blame the Trudeau Liberal Canadian Government. I'm Canadian and living in Toronto, it's a shi* show here too.

Toronto rents @ $2500. Try living in a small non-tourist town 250km from TO & paying $2500 -$3500 for a 2 Br basement apt. Where bidding wars have raised rents to $4000+ for a 2 br single family home. \n\nThen try doing that as a single mom with 3 kids, earning $20/hr in a local managerial position.

Toronto - Keep voting liberal. And continue the downward spiral. \nOr - get a brain - and don't vote liberal.

I escaped Commie-da 17 years ago and moved to Asia. I saw this coming a MILE AWAY.... now is just a joke. If you're wife isn't getting groped on the bus by ...then ur avoiding shit on the streets. I stay in the house when I go an visit. Have no urge to even go to downtown Toronto or anywhere else. Also, $25 for a CHICKEN.. a bloody CHICKEN.. I pay $3 in Indonesia, and you can buy a beautiful new house here in a guarded private estate for $200k and live like a KING on 40k a year. You can rent a house with a pool here for $6k a YEAR in same private estate.. I dont even lock my door or close my garage when I leave., like it USED T OBE in Canada 25 years ago..... Get out before they close the borders again for the next psyop.

I have been (mostly) a life long Liberal living in Toronto. I can honestly say, the Trudeau Liberal government has been the worst government at any level I have lived under - including Mike Harris and Bob Rae. Justin Trudeau likes to cut ribbons and make big announcements and spend time on the completely wrong priorities for Canadians. We need a government focused on the economy and the things it takes to build a thriving 21st century economy. Yes, it takes immigrants and those people will need the basics: a job, food, shelter and services. Instead we get dental care, pharm care, daycare - all these things we can't afford and that do very little to build out a thriving economy we need. We have lost decades due to poor planning of our governments and now we all must suffer. It will take generation to fix this, meanwhile our competing countries will all pass us. I will rue Justin Trudeau and his incompetent Ministers and enablers for the rest of my life.

I just came back from Toronto at least 65% of the people I saw was Indian

They keep talking about Toronto and Vancouver area, but what about Alberta region or Saskatchewan?

Please ban newcomers from living in Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver for the first five years or until they gain their citizenship. Populate other cities and provinces.

Rents in Toronto have been going up since gentrification. This has been a 20 year process. What the lady said around the 7:50 mark.

I guess this is supposed to apply to all of Canada but really this video should say ”Toronto” instead of “Canada”
