even the older indians who came here 30 plus years ago arent happy about the new generation indians coming here

I used to come to Brampton in 2008 for shopping because they had a lot of outlets then. It was already majorly South Asian/Indian then. It's probably been like this for 30 years. This isn't new. Most of the GTA has been like this for many years. Whites were becoming a minority for the last 20 years country wide due to birth rate even before the cost of living crisis. Foreign people are more family oriented than us. A child free lifestyle is unusual for them.

It's too bad you didn't visit the many farms and gardens that the new Canadians have setup on the outskirts of Brampton. They are inspirational. That temple you showed has been there for at least 30 years - it was built in a field in the middle of nowhere at the time. I do agree that way too many young Indian men think the area is a place to live out the Grand Thief Auto fantasies ;-)

I live in Brampton, i am all for diversity but where is the diversity if everyone is Indian. I am French originally and i am in a minority of one! Let's be clear, the massive Indian increase in the population is due to Trudeau's immigration policy, the indians did not jump over the border as some of the comments suggest, they mostly came here legally, and this was done without broad agreement of the Canadian population as a whole. Canadian population went from being 30 million inhabitants to 40 millions in just over a decade, a massive population increase in a short time due mostly to Indian immigration with huge impact on housing , cost of housing, infrastructure, jobs, taxes, etc... The liberals have a lot to answer for the disaster which Canada has become in the last 10 years and yes they got rid off Trudeau, but they are still in power, stiffling the potential economic growth of Canada which should be a rich country instead of being a country where many people live from pay cheques to pay cheques.

The old Dutch guy in the interview was right. When my father applied to bring us to Canada, we went through many tests and procedures, police checks from back home, and even from the FBI to prove we had never been to North America and the process lasted almost a year and a half. No money was given to our family, my dad was working our step mother was working; but now all these immigrants get in quick and free. I have a friend that works for a bank and he tells me people who can't even speak English or French show up and deposit government cheques for 30 or 40 thousand dollars. What about Canadians born and raised here, some need help, they don't get big cheques. There has to be a stop to all this influx of people coming from other countries who have it really easy once they're here, thanks to the government. I'm not anti-immigration, as I'm an immigrant myself, but this BS has to stop.

I ran a business in Canada for 30+ years before retiring. An East Indian never bounced a cheque on me and they always paid on time. It was white people that bounced cheques and tried not to pay their invoices.

Only in last 30 years, more immigration happened in Canada than in last 200 years.

In India, caste atrocities show that the so-called “Savarna” identity is nothing but Hindu apartheid, as brutal as white supremacy in America. When a Dalit child in Rajasthan is beaten to death for touching a water pot (2023), when a young woman in Hathras is raped and cremated in secrecy (2020), when Dalits in Gujarat are flogged for skinning a dead cow (2016), or when a man in Madhya Pradesh is forced to drink urine (2021), it is the same logic as lynching of Black people in the U.S. during Jim Crow. NCRB records 50,000+ caste crimes every year, with conviction rates under 30%, proving that the system protects the oppressor. Just as white supremacists called themselves “pure whites,” Indian upper castes glorify the label “Savarna,” hiding behind a false purity that is built on humiliation, violence, and exclusion of the majority.

When i immigrated here amost 30 years ago, not a single $ was given to me by the stupid government. I have money to support myself, that's the rule before paid landing fee and must have money of my own to spend for couple of months besides me passing the point system from my home country. Now these people coming is given thousands of dollars😡

They didn’t bring them in for the aging population this is a depopulation plan. Georgia Guidestones. The elites look at humanity as animals to be culled. We are parasites to them. It is in our movies, award shows, Olympic shows, they se xualize children and trans is another way to castrate to end goal of legalizing pe do phelia. Demonize Christianity as our God is the only one they fear. Take total control of everything in our lives until we give up. The government gave us maid, the bioweapon needle of which Trudeau owns a patent. The immigrants don’t care as government funds them with tax payer dollars yearly (from an immigrant $82 000. Per yr) I worked for 30 yrs and never made that amount. So bankrupting our pension funds because pretty sure that was done decades ago purposefully. Immigrants get way more than a persons pension which is no longer enough to live on and if you get sick you can opt out of life. Globalists are a death cult. You can see it in the decline destruction of so many countries, how they go after children, the men and women born to their countries, how they cause division, how they laugh in our faces. So immigrants if you think that you have it made don’t be surprised when they come for you. Trump is the only leader who is taking these people out. He has people behind him protecting him. He has been in a war with the globalists since he was first elected president. Before Trump there were people fighting against the plans of these elites. They feed on fear, hopelessness, anger, despair, so do not let them put you in that low vibration. Be hopeful, loving, joyful, peaceful, show strength protest the government, the judiciary look into common law as opposed to maritime law. We have been lied to about history, medicine, natural medicine they demonized, religion, education, etc Think critically, and pray get close to God.

As a multi-generational, born-and-raised Canadian citizen. Recently, I have been unemployed for 1 year and 2 months, which is the longest I have ever gone without a job in my entire life. My EI has run out, and during this stressful time, I have only had 4 actual interviews with real human beings. I am also a caregiver for both of my parents, and working remotely has been my profession for the last 7 years. Remote work allows me to both care for them and bring in a full-time income. Despite having 30 years of customer service experience, I find myself being overlooked. Many companies now use AI to prescreen resumes, so if your resume isn’t ATS-friendly, it often never gets seen by a human. Even if you make it past that stage, there are endless AI-driven assessments before you even have a chance to speak with someone. And when you finally do, it’s often yet another layer of screening rather than a real interview. I know I bring value — I consistently receive compliments from customers across cultures for speaking clearly, precisely, and making their experience enjoyable. Yet I find myself competing with younger candidates who can work longer hours, or new immigrants that companies often prioritize, sometimes with government incentives. At 55, I feel like I’m being overlooked despite my proven skills and professionalism. Right now, I live with my retired parents and should be caring for them. Instead, my father is helping me pay my bills so I don’t ruin the credit I worked so hard to build. If I don’t secure a job soon, I fear I’ll lose everything else I’ve managed to hold onto. The stress is overwhelming — I cry daily, and on top of everything, I also face health issues of my own, but I have no space to focus on them because survival takes priority. Canada today feels very different from the country I grew up in. Since the pandemic, things have become harder in every way — jobs, housing, and simply living. Even if I manage to secure work, rent alone now takes up nearly 75% of what I’d earn, not even including other basic bills. It’s disheartening to feel like no matter how hard I push, I can’t get ahead.

The only reason you can use the term Immigrant is because the govt issued visas. But that being said the govt fast tracked the usual immigrant process which takes months to years. So in actuality this is not legitimate immigrants. It's unlawful what the govt has done and therefore these people are immigrants under cover of law. Or color of law. It's defacto. I call them illegal migrants. Most are not doctors or engineers or trades people even. Most are young men from 19 to their 30's. According to Investigative Journalist Joshua Philipp of the Epoch Times, Through visiting Darian gap, he found UN tents helping illegal migrants to get to the US. But they had to pass through cartel territory. They had to pay the cartels a fee or die or be raped or both. Yes it's brutal some things but apparently before Obama left office he signed an international agreement to import people globally from mostly Islamic countries and create open borders. We see Chinese, and many people from different parts of South America and even Africa crossing to the US. A lot of whom end up in Canada. So before they cross into the US they toss their IDs Especially if they are from countries that are flagged by the US as questionable or terrorist possibilities. So this leads to a lot coming to Canada. I'm sure you heard of Roxham Rd crossing? It's officially closed but people still cross into Canada from the US going through there. There's also piles of IDs at that border crossing also. Anyways these open border policies has cut out in depth screening so we really don't know who is in Canada as true asylum seekers or immigrants. To add to this complexity, over 300,000 Canadian travel documents have been stolen from CBSA Canadian Border Services Agency. 280,000 of those were blank Canadian passports. SO we really don't know who's walking on Canadian soil. This was confirmed by Luc Sabourin a former CBSA agent. He got forced out because he was asking the right questions and giving the right evidence. Here's the interview with Joshua and the interview with Luc. Have a watch n listen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obgZ-Oh6Es0&t=4s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdIjTSAzUXE&t=91s JamCan I'm with you 100% you are right on the money ! Great work.

Excellent reporting, sir. I, too, am an immigrant over 30 years. My family and I immigrated here from Ireland 🇮🇪 to become Canadians 🇨🇦 And all did just that. 🙏💜🇨🇦✝️

I am so happy people are starting to speak up. Sadly, I am changing. I am becoming angry. Angry at immigrants and the system. Am I becoming racist? Or just so lost at how things seem so wrong. My main upset is for my teen son. Turned 16 after Christmas. So excited about looking for a part-time job, earning some money, getting experiences and (unbeknownst to him ) expanding his social circle. This excitement came from me. LIke all us Canadians who remember our first part-time jobs (mine was at a McDonalds), I regaled my son in stories of that first part-time job. How much I learned from it, and the so many benefits it would have for me as I got older. He listened, and couldn't wait to turn 16. Also, like most parents, I raised him on the benefits of working hard in school, getting good grades, learning, getting involved, etc. Do these things son, and you will have a good future. He listened. Honours student all his life. Played on school teams. Performed in talent shows, Volunteered his time, etc., etc. Not a bad resume for a first time teen seeking a job. It is now heading into September. He has applied at all the traditional teen job hotspots, (all the fast food joints, grocery stores, drug stores, etc). Dozens of resumes, online and in-person applications. Not a single response. Then I walk into the local Burger King. Not a single Caucasian, Black, Hispanic, Indigenous, or Far Eastern employee. All East Indian (or Pakistani). Suddenly I am really noticing this trend everywhere, especially in the franchise fast food industry; especially upsetting when I even see it in a Harvey's (even more Canadian than Timmies). It's either East Indians or Arabs. I don't know for how long I have been hearing about diversity and fair hiring practices (which I have always supported); but to see this trend makes me furious. Are the owners of these franchise exempt from fair hiring practices? Are they not taught we are a diverse country? This is wrong. I want to finish with two sad situations which we should all be concerned about. When my eldest was looking for part-time work after the pandemic, he walked into a Mr. Submarine. He asked if he could leave his resume or fill out an application. The Arab cashier told him in broken English they were not hiring. As he was walking out, a young Arab man walked in. He approached the same cashier and asked for an application. She gave him one. WTF. My last comment, is the most concerning of all. My 16 year old, who works so hard at school, and at everything he does, recently commented, after yet another non-reply after handing out a slew of resumes, "Dad... what's the use of working so hard if I can't even get a job at McDonalds." I wonder how many other Canadian teens are feeling the same way. Not just white teens. Black, Hispanic, Indigenous and East Asian teens. Seems the broken English East Indian and Arab teens and young adults aren't asking themselves that. How long until my son thinks I am just spewing BS about this hard work thing? This is not about racism. This is about fair hiring practices, especially in more and more franchises; however, I do find myself listening to more and more of these videos, and find myself developing sucb negative feelings towards these two cultures. This is not Canadian. To be thinking this way, especially, is not Canadian. What do we do? Speak up, and we are racist. Stay quiet, and our teen kids move into adulthood without job experience, money put away, or just having a life experience that any of us over 30 (no matter our race) experienced. Something has to change; but I haven't a clue how to do that.

O…M…G…! I did not realize, until I read these comments, how many nincompoops we also have in Canada! 1) we are ALL IMMIGRANTS with the First Nations being here first.* * since "time immemorial," a concept referring to First Nations presence on the land long before recorded history. Archeological and genetic evidence suggests migration from northeastern Asia, likely via the Bering Strait, with research pointing to human arrival 30,000 years ago or even earlier. 2) we have welcomed immigrants to settle our lands since more inhabitants equals more revenues for infrastructure. Yes, restructuring of the process is a good idea. 3) Poilievre is a thin skinned man of the pointy finger and blame game with little to offer in actual plans or programs. He plays to people’s gripes, whining, and general b*tch*ness. He IS very similar to the blow-hart down south although more literate. 4) There is no possible way he, especially being of like behaviour, could deal with The Felon. He is NOT a negotiator. He is not calm; he’s bombastic. He’s waaaaaaaay to the right, and will trample equal rights for women, and other valued communities. He has no interest in listening to other positions, views, or suggestions. His way or the highway. Again like the Fascist down south. 4) Our provincial leaders (except a few traitors to Canada’s sovereignty) are behind the extremely difficult work Carney is doing for our country. 67% of Canadians are cheering him on, including the Conservative playground scrapper, Doug Ford, plus Stephen Harper. So, put your bile on hold and support the positive. We’re in a really difficult, daily changing, coming at us from all sides, battle with the POS south of us. Carney is giving it his all. Can’t imagine he gets much sleep. How ‘bout break with the party-love, and have some respect for someone working so hard. Fighting for YOU! ❤️🇨🇦❤️

I've been against Muslim immigrants for 30 years. I read the sick Quron early.

I’ve lived in Canada for 30 years, but I became unemployed in 2021. This is the first time I’ve been out of work for more than a year and a half. I’ve applied online for over 20 jobs, but unfortunately I haven’t received any responses. This has never happened to me before. When I first came to Canada, it felt very safe—you could even leave your door unlocked at night. Things have changed a lot since then. Nowadays, there are many new immigrants and refugees, which has also changed the job market. I’ve noticed that many companies prefer hiring workers with student visas, because the government subsidizes part of their wages. That makes it more cost-effective for companies compared to hiring Canadian workers. I heard this directly from my former manager. As a result, some of my old colleagues now only get one or two days of work per week, while companies continue bringing in new employees.

Ten million new poverty refugees in the last ten years a 30% increase in the country’s population When is this crap going to END!

Canada is tore up because of the Indians not necessarily the immigrants there's too many immigrants but way too many Indians in 1990 I was 20 years old in Toronto everything was fine I was not too much of anything nobody special I bought a home bought a new car and then I got the region later in life right now that type of thing is impossible very impossible for the next 20 or 30 years unless there's a war or epidemic or something crazy?

Just want to highlight something critically important : Canada had in their past gone through a 10 million increase from 20 to 30 million ppl in 30 years from 1970 to 2000. then in the next 25 years, going from 30 to 40 million ppl. so essentially it's not just population increase which only accelerated a bit, but it's the fact they didn't expand their economic market size to accomodate and reflect the needs that come with this increase.

Canada is done , they r no longer sovereign they change laws to suit certain groups and the system is rigged to be taxed to death dang you can die is an emergency room of a hospital. Imagine paying into the system for 30 plus years and you can’t get an mir or a cat scan for months and when u do it’s too late

Canada's electric rates to the US were and are ridiculously high. The us cities have been telling the Canadians that for 30 years. The US has and will make up the short falls in energy for sure.

All you idiots that praise Justin Trudeau are not Canadians. This POS is the reason that Canada's middle class is now poor and suffering. There's no worse person than a liberal who talks nice but makes empty promises. Our cost of living is through the roof, our economy is tanked, our infrastructure is 30 years behind. We have now become a third world country thanks to clowns like this.

We can't make it reasonable? Im disabled nurse on Medicare and I e already lost Medicaid and a lot of snap and have to pay more for meds... After 30 years as a nurse, I'd rather be dead than live here under this evil devil... I wish I could move to Canada or the UK where there is sanity

Prophecy fulfilled Leviathan 666 called this over 30 years ago , Wakeup people go read ,USSR UNITED STATES SOVIET RUSSIA ,THE EAGLE & THE BEAR .

Trudeau, my brother, My words cannot begin to express to you or your people just how genuinely sorry I am for my country's utterly repulsive and inexcusable behavior throughout the last month and a half and for the downright cruel, hostile treatment you've suffered at the hands of the most incompetent, greedy, poorly educated, narcissistic, racist, sexist, xenophobic buffoon to ever preside over the United States. Not only is Donald Trump an overly privileged, pathetic, whiney crybaby who literally folds his arms, stomps his feet, and launches an all out temper tantrum whenever he doesn't get his way or when someone else has the TV remote, he is a dangerously delusional, high stakes risk taker who wouldn't think twice about using his own mother or child as a human body shield if he thought his life were in danger. There is absolutely no value, principle, moral or ethic he wouldn't betray without hesitation if he suspects there is anything at all to be gained - you know, the type of guy who would poison the entire neighborhood in order to hoard all the complimentary tampons and lip gloss samples from his neighbors' mail boxes just to ensure that he got first dibs on everything before anyone else. Incidentally, he is also the same type of guy who pockets all the flavored mini coffee creamers from the gas station and all the paper bed sheets and Qtips from the doctor's office. I wouldn't put it past him to steal the waitresses' tips off tabletops on his way out the door upon leaving McDonald's. In fact, I would bet everything that he steals the donation jars for Jerry's Kids at the local supermarket. I mean, its already a given that he is likely the guy who filed a lawsuit a few summers back against a sweet, innocent littls FOUR year old boy for having a lemonade stand on property not zoned for commercial use. If it wasn't Trump then I'm sure it's only because he was too busy ordering the National Guard to power hose and pepper spray the 30 or so elderly nuns who had been distributing bottled water to folks demonstrating in support of Black Lives Matter on the hottest day of the year. Satisfied in his victorious battle against the nuns - 9 of whom had been hospitalized for critical injuries including the 92 year old Mother Superior who suffered massive brain bleed, swelling and concussion due to the excessive force of the power hose and an 87 year old nun who lost permanent sight in one eye due to the pepper spray - Trump had the nerve to pose for a publicity shot in front of the church while holding a Bible - UPSIDE DOWN - and scrunching and contorting his face into that hideous trademark scowl he does ever so naturally. Yep. This is the man my fellow Americans chose to represent our nation as President - a man who beats up 90 year old nuns and imposes 25% tax hikes to our ONLY FRIEND in the entire world simply for refusing to accept his invitation for statehood. I mean, come on, Trudeau, is that really asking too much of you? Was it really worth bruising Donny's fragile little ego and sending him into a fit of rage? (Seriously, though, I suspect he really does feel as though you are in the wrong for refusing to humor his delusions and thus embarrassing him in front of all his Russian dictator and Ku Klux Klan buddies.)\nOnce again, I do humbly apologize and I promise I will support whatever actions you choose to take and I will help you in any way you deem is best. \nMuch love and peace always, \nMs. S. Delois Jackson

I lost my job as engineer in USA last 30 years

He is right Canada ? at is trump doing at all same reason he is selling American government houses we the seniors can't afford higher food is ridiculous. We don't count any way we only worked 30 years to be poore is not worth it to work with illness like I did heart patient and sle lupus and many more and that never stopt me from working only to find out I be poor when I have to retire why why are seniors so poore. We worked for our money know we go with out meds just to make sure we have a little food ? sorry about the spelling I am going blind and I wars going blind from lupus why I wars still working

Our truck was made in Canada, one of the best vehicles we have every had. It's almost 30 years old and still runs great with very few problems. We trust products from Canada. Stupid is as stupid does!

as an american taxpayer i worked 30 years in the private sector i want my future socail security to go to everybody else ? democrats are Insane

Trump is a russian asset , he was recruited by the KGB in 1987. Trump has been working to destroy the United States for over 30 years. Damage the economy and the country will fall from within. Trump is a traitor.

well that dude wont let me in his country to just visit because of a dwi 30 years ago so he can kiss my arse

Y'all really hate when America has a president who is more than an empty suit. I love watching you all whinge endlessly. Europe has thumbed their nose at us for the last 30 years. I am fed up. Poloce your own damn oceans! America is sick of being your beast of burden.

Doesn't matter to anyone under 30. I've been pulling pizzas out of dumpsters for 4 years.

Making a deal and giving everything to Putin is easy, anyone can do it. Seriously ? JD Vance forgot (30 or 40 years ago many countries fought to help America).

Lol USA protects all of you, and funds all of you. Russia was a big joke. We started that war 30 years ago. USA!

If only JT had cared about his people for the last several years you may not have ended up in this situation. He screwed up Canada and now everyone is applauding him? Canadians are not polite, they only pretend to be, and then viciously turn and attack. You're all acting like the 30 year old still living in his parents basement that has been asked to pay rent or move out.

Japan has shown that stagnation is fine they have had 30 year of it and they are still living one of the highest qualities of life. Canada and Australia have gone done the mass immigration route and now the young are screwed and our cultures have changed for the worst forever.

I'm glad you mentioned the emigration and brain drain part. I'm a 30 year old engineer and I'm tired of living in Canada, I don't even identify myself as culturally or politically canadian anymore. Here's to me hoping I move to the USA with my useless degree and start over my life.

Canadians did this to themselves. You keep electing crooks and marxsists who want to take you back to feudal servitude. I'm glad I left 30 years ago thanks to NAFTA work visa. I would not come back even for a funeral.\n\nYou made your bed, now sleep in it.

*NOTHING is permanent ....... except CHANGES !!!!* \nCANADA has been changed lately for ...... BAAAAD ....... in the last 30 years !!!! \nI speak English, Italian, Polish & Russian, as well ....\nGood luck to you dear Alina.

I love how she says they can come back legally. But in reality if you’re deported you likely will never be allowed back. If you’ve been here for 10, let alone 30 years, you should be given citizenship.

India is overcrowded broke , unemployment is way up ,doctors get paid 30,000 a year there ,they come to stay and claim Canada is thier country now ,its allover India they think Canada as another state of thier s

Nobody says anything about the 30,000 weapons entering Canada from the States every year...clean up YOUR act USA ... you are not holy

The USA brings in one MILLION LEGAL immigrants a year for the past 30 years!!! We have far too many immigrants here to begin with. We absolutely can not take in anymore or we will risk losing our entire culture. There wont be a USA if 20 million migrants aren’t deported and we need to stop ALL immigration for at least 10 years.

The radical leftists, who have spent the last 30 years dividing Americans, are now claiming it is Trump dividing Americans. ??? \nGreat episode, Cash!

This is all bullshit last four years Biden Harris administration bring 25 to 30,000,000 illegal aliens into United States and those people have economic opportunity in this country and nobody take them out this bullshit to start from 35 years now every four years illegal aliens increase in United States. The graph is go up up and up and United States have no solution to how deal with this problem with illegal migrants problem.

One race in NYC is the reason they coming for Construction work. Men women. Sanctuary city's bad for Americans work for 30 years and have to pay for everything while invaders get everything free.

Penalty for illegal entry must be: 1st time, deportation; 2nd time, 30 days in jail then deportation; 3rd time, a year in prison then deportation. Thereafter, life in Guantanamo.

??? Chinese and human traffickers use the northern border to enter the USA all the time and have been for the past 30 plus years…. This is happening to all the states that touch Canada…
