I am black, african, and immigrant to Europe. The truth is NO COUNTRY CAN TAKE AN INFINITE NUMBER OF IMMIGRANTS FOREVER. It's just not sustainable.

As a Canada who speaks both French and English and who follows politics quite closely, I have to say that the headline and some of the reporting here is quite misleading. A reduction in immigration has broad support across Canada. I wouldn't say that notion is dividing the country in any significant way. You do have certain industry groups that disagree, but among the population these reductions have broad support. This is a historic change in public opinion in Canada, but it has been driven by the unprecedented increase in immigration under the last term of the Trudeau government. To put this in context, non-permanent residents in Canada numbered around 1.5 million on Q3 2023, but by Q3 2025, that number sat a just over 3 million. The previous government increased immigration targets by 3 or 4 times over what they had been for years, which caused a number of economic issues. Essentially, the volume was simply too high for the economy and society to support. This was unfair to both Canadians and new comers, many of which could not find employment or afford a decent place to live. The changes being suggested are largely bringing Canada back to what the targets were for over a decade before, though a bit lower to account for the sudden surge. Canada remains one of the most pro-immigration countries in the world. However, and this is where I think DW's reporting is misleading, there is a distinction to be made between policies at the federal level and policies at the provincial level. Immigration, per our constitution, is a federal matter, however, Quebec in particular is distinct from other provinces. I don't mean only culturally and linguistically, but also in the powers that have been devolved to it by the federal government. On the question of immigration, Quebec has more powers and more ability to set its immigration targets and programs than any of the other 9 provinces. The particular program discussed here, the Quebec Experience Program (PEQ), is a particular immigration stream that only existed in Quebec. So what is happening with that program cannot be labeled as a whole-of-Canada thing. Where the changes to the PEQ are controversial, unlike the general changes at the federal level, is that people who immigrated under that specific program were promised certain things. There was a multi-year time line to Permanent Residency and then Citizenship. Many of those people have been in Quebec for 5-8 years already. However, the changes made to the program were done in such a way where people who many years into the program, had gotten an education, started a career, had children, ect. are now being told they can't continue and must leave Canada. There are even stories of people who married Canadians, now have children, and the one parent who was under this program now faces the possibility of having to leave Canada and be separated from their family. All through no fault of their own. That is what many people see as unfair, and I agree, however limiting future applications under the program, to bring in less people, that is not controversial. Canada has no responsibility to bring in people who are not already in Canada, but Canada does have some responsibility towards people who uprooted their lives to move to Canada and built new lives here based on promises and representations made to them by the Canadian and Quebecois governments. We should no simply kick those people out of the country.

Please don't believe this report. I am from Canada, This issue is not dividing us at all . In fact the overwhelming majority agrees immigration numbers of recent years are unsustainable .These policies to cut immigration are driven by public pressure on the government..Fr24 is cherry picking and make it sound like there is huge backlash to these cuts.

The, 'CULTURAL ARROGANCE', of the, we can do anything we want culture. We can have as many gangs as we want, we can have as many guns as we want, we can do as many shootings as we want, we can drive as dangerously as we want, we can do as many extortion attempt shootings as we want, we can operate our dumptrucks/oversize vehicles as recklessly as want, we can hit as many overpasses as we want, we dont have to have customer service skills, nor be able to communicate so you understand us, and on and on! "Immigration without Assimilation is an Invasion." Indians are the number one threat to our society and our safety! You say, 'Racist', I say, 'Realist.'

im a bengali born in canada, i just wanna say that if the right wing bodies, influencers & socials use indian racism as capital, why cant we use it on YT people? We have the numbers, we can suppress them once again, they've been cruel to canadian borns, it doesn't matter if you're canadian born to be honest since they're only interested in euros

If you aid or abet an illegal alien and they kill a United States citizen, you can be penalized up to and including THE DEATH PENALTY. 4more American citizens were killed in Indiana by an illegal alien driving a tractor trailer. Public records and investigative reports have linked the driver and the truck to the following individuals and entities: Saipidin Tutashov: Listed as the primary officer of Sam Express Inc. (based in Palatine, Illinois). Investigative reports indicate the network is often referred to as the "Tutash" network. Mirlanbek Murzapazylov: Identified as the primary officer of KG Line Group Inc., another carrier in the same network that reportedly shares vehicle identification numbers (VINs) and equipment with Sam Express. Ruslanbek Olzhebaev: Listed as a registered agent for Sam Express Corp in California. Azamat Kenjebaev: Primary officer for Sangam Transport Inc., which is also allegedly part of the same "chameleon carrier" network.

Before 2015, Canada had virtually zero illegal immigration. Today, by the government’s own data, that number has surged to roughly 500,000. Worse still, official projections show that by the end of 2026, another 2.1 million temporary residents will see their status expire, many at risk of slipping into illegality. This failure of policy has already fueled a growing underground economy across the country. Deporting just 20,000 people a year is a drop in the bucket. *The only credible response* from the Carney government demands decisive action—raising *deportation* numbers to well over 100,000 annually to restore integrity to the system.

Walmart is also becoming Punjabi mart. I don’t know why Canada is bringing this people in huge numbers?? Immigration numbers should be diversified otherwise they will dominate the whole system. Which is not good for future Canada.

Canadian economy is heavily propped up with exploiting people, everyone gets a share of the spoils, colleges, employment, real estate 10s of billions of dollars 2 million people by $500 a month in rent minimum 2 million x 365 days x $10 in food 2 million x $20,000 in tuition per year, and this is all low end numbers I'm using.

8:38 Did they move out from India to Canada because of their demand of Khalistan . Simply answer is —- A big NO . They were taken there by British in world war as a worker and some sort of soldier , but they were not the only indian, but some others not from Punjab also went there . Yeah, punjabi sikh are more in number , they have organised groups and institutions there . Some are anti India and some are not , but normal Indians go there seeking more opportunities and income .

Rule number one: Do not ever let Chineses and Indians into your country

The Indians honestly seem like pleasant people. Yeah, they are huge in number and mass migrate, but seems like the whites are just hating for no reason

How much are we short? That's the number we let in. Out of the million, how has the skills we need?

Still have time to deport them by using their sin numbers. Just like ice did. Just use their activities and use spy cops . I bet most of them will be gone. Also those lawyers, who kept posting in their Instagram 2x work permit etc.

I hope you gave all the phone /whatsapp numbers associated to the traffickers to the police my dude. You have balls of steel doing that my god

I’m grew up in Brampton, born here to immigrant parents who came in the 90s. The new generation of immigrants have really created a bad image for Indians here, I will encounter all kinds of racism online or in real life, and the hatred is real. I wish it wasn’t so, but Brampton and for that matter the GTA is not equipped to handle these many people. Then you get the sheer number of illegal rooming houses, fraud, general disrespect for the norms and traditions of Canada from the newer generations of immigrants it just really paints a bad picture of Indian people. I hope things can change and both Indians and Canadians can live together and foster mutual respect for each other, but we are a long ways away

5:27 he doesn’t realize the numbers are exactly the same in India.. proving his own intelligence level is below 70 lmao

As an indian living in canada im going to say this punjabis are not living in brampton because it feels like home most of them come to canada to flex and probably because the city is swamped with their people so they don’t have to communicate in english, i cant even count the number of times these people have talked to me punjabi while i tell them i don’t speak punjabi and they start getting offended ask me why i dont , like bro I’m from a different part of india , why don’t you speak my mother tongue or english to begin with , also the flexing culture they have is crazy , all i want to say is if you don’t know how to communicate in a language and still move to that country and complain you don’t have enough opportunities in your country you might be at fault not your country nor the new one that you moved into,most of them don’t even have papers , want a separate country for themselves, lack the skills and yet they are living like this, blame the government who let this happen not the rest of us.

We have a ton of drug crime, gangs now all run by Indians. Alot of street shooting and drive by- never had that before the mass migration started...as soon as we say anything we are targeted as racists. I was fired from a government contract for catching corruption. They litter a ton - never had litter across canada so bad. It is destroying our cities they live like it is a slum when the concentrate in specific neighborhoods. Right now we have about 2 million illegal students who came on a student visa - but stayed after the expiry. Many took over the smaller trucking businesses and fast food franchises - those 2 industries became SO CORRUPT! They don't get car insurance - I know several people who got hit in Alberta - NO COVERAGE and no accountability. 75% of Canadians want them gone!...every industry they get involved in in large numbers gets corrupted and becomes problematic, because it is just part of their culture/way of life.

If you are having so much trouble with these people, then put them on a plane and send them back to India 🇮🇳. More than half of them are people who fled India after engaging in criminal activities and sought refuge in Canada. No one in India demands Khalistan except for a few terrorist Sikhs living in Canada. In 2024, Indian students spent more than 10 billion Canadian dollars in Canada. In 2025, the number of students going to Canada decreased by 50 percent. So don't worry, Indians won't be going to Canada anymore.

Easy way to do it like poland now days and trump send them back home and cut down the numbers

It’s not just Brampton, our whole fuckin country is like this now. I used to live in BC for the majority of my life, all over Vancouver to Vancouver island, even the smaller communities are completely being invaded. I just moved to Alberta 4 years ago and holy fuck was I in for a surprise. I’m in the greater Edmonton area in a city in the surrounding area and doesn’t matter where you go, they over populate everyone for miles. The numbers the government tell you is a fuckin lie. Those numbers are grossly under exaggerated, it’s a full on invasion. I’ve never seen anything like this in my whole life. For all you fuckin idiots who voted liberal I don’t wanna hear you bitch cause you fuckin caused this.

W bike guy! Everyone should be just like that guy! This plague is being levied against all of us Europeans everywhere we exist in significant numbers by a rootless international clique and their shabbos puppets!

Look at the loser sucking up to a certain demographic again. He knew his Scientology video wasn’t going to do numbers so went straight to harassing immigrants. Spineless bitch

😑Housing crisis - they are a BIG reason for this. >>> Mortgage fraud - Watch the CDC report. They flooded Canada, try to snatch up all the houses through fraud and to rent out as rooming houses. This reduces available properties, and prices skyrocket. When you have tens of THOUSANDS of people in ONE community doing this, why are you scratching your head that there's a housing crisis? Canada flung open the door to people from the scam capital of the world, and now when Canadian kids are polled, they're saying they're giving up on buying a house! Disaster. Now, to fix the problem, you have to reduce their numbers to reduce demand, but reducing demand reduces home prices, so what about all those people who bought at inflated prices? Many homeowners are losing their shirts. So now, to fix the problem, Canadians are enduring GENERATIONAL financial damage, that will take decades to fix, and some people may never recover from it. I'm not against immigrants, but this particular group has devastated Canada with their greed and corruption.

My father immigrated to Canada from India in 1961 to complete his PhD, where he met my mother, a local farm girl. They married, and he soon joined Agriculture Canada as a research scientist at the Regina Research Station in 1963. Over his remarkable 40-year career, he contributed significantly to the evolution of herbicide research during a transformative era for Canadian agriculture. In the 1960s, as herbicide use surged across the prairies—building on early selective compounds like 2,4-D introduced post-World War II—his work focused on environmental residues and applicator safety, helping refine application methods amid a boom that saw the number of available herbicides in Canada and the U.S. rise from about 25 in 1950 to over 100 by the end of the decade. This period marked the widespread adoption of chemicals for weed control, enabling reduced tillage and boosting crop yields in grain production. By the 1970s, Agriculture Canada's efforts intensified with the introduction of groundbreaking non-selective herbicides like glyphosate, which revolutionized prairie farming by facilitating no-till practices and minimizing soil erosion while controlling persistent weeds. My father's studies on herbicide drift, persistence in air and soil, and human exposure played a key role in ensuring safer, more effective use, aligning with broader innovations that transformed western Canada's grain sector into a global powerhouse. Into the 1980s, as resistance issues emerged and manufacturing processes improved to reduce contaminants like dioxins in phenoxy herbicides, his research supported sustainable advancements, including better monitoring and guidelines that influenced international standards. Through these decades, his pioneering contributions helped develop and optimize herbicides now employed worldwide, fundamentally changing farming practices and enhancing productivity across the vast Canadian prairies.

im a canadian born citizen, my ancestors immigrated here from ireland in massive numbers and the locals hated their guts because they took all the low paying jobs. these indians are no different from them. i support anyones choice to make a better life for them and their family its what our country is built on. come pay taxes, accept your new culture and dont break the law and you are welcome.

Yes, the numbers suggest we had a lot of indian students here 2023-2024. Those numbers have declined massively in 2025-26. Things don't change overnight, but things are getting fixed slowly.

It's sad that Brampton used to be the number one place to live in Canada and now it's a shit hole. Just like the country these people came from, go back and clean up your own country

It's crazy that that city worker in the beginning was afraid to share literal facts about demographic changes in her city, for fear of, what, being called racist?? It's so insane! Facts, numbers, statistics cannot be racist. Racism comes from opinions. Not facts. When were scared to state indisputable facts, that is a huge problem! 3:39

I am suspicious about this fake restaurant or fast food place near my neighborhood. There is a place near my house that looks like a restaurant. The building is beside a shawarma place and the pictures of food do look good. My aunt called the phone number because she wanted to order food from there, but she heard strange voices in the background and the person on the phone kept saying they are closed. This place even has a drive thru and menu, but is never open. I've seen quite a few cars in the parking lot at night. Idk, but I think something sketchy is going on there because the people there are all indians.

It’s Hindu who eat number 2 they worship the cow that’s why

Please god, Im canadian please go back to the old immigration system where we took in actual doctors and engineers. there's also so many i cant get housing at university's because they are the number 1 priority apparently. Also Canada will pay you if you hire or have a student that is indian.

@5:19 This guy know nothing about india. Rape is totally part of the primitive caste indian culture. In fact rape is a huge in India. In 2022 more than 31k case where record by the National Crime Records Bureau. It 86 rape by day (one every 20 minutes). Theses numbers are only the tip of the iceberg. For the driving watch the New-Dehhi episode of Dont drive here. The get the drive exam is to turn around a ciment slab in a parking lot. Those people are really low IQ.

I'm glad Tyler is more or less neutral in his findings. It's true, many Indian's have come to Canada and I'm sure many do wish for a better life. Canadians understand this, but the methods the government of Canada is doing to push the numbers too high and too quickly is what's surprising to many. It's the accountability of the government that should be under scrutiny. If immigration was moderate and consistent, the social issues would not be as rampant, but social media loves stir the pot. This is also happening while Canada's housing infrastructure is crumbling, healthcare is deteriorating and general cost of living in Canada has skyrocketed and priced many Canadians out of simple living and enjoyment. Do you think Canadians today are as happy or well off as Canadians even 5 years ago? Do the results reflect that of other countries besides Canada?

Well Canada is paying what your government has designed to disturb India... I want to say one thing shortly, if this Sikh people in Canada today calling Punjab instead India as their motherland because they want khalistan. I am sure day will come when this Canadian Sikh will address themselves as Brampton instead of Canadian once they grow in large numbers.

I WISH They would ALL take off to the U.S. Im sick of it. It's NOT RACISM, IT'S NUMBERS! There are FAR TOO MANY. They DON'T RESPECT OUR COUNTRY! THEY TREAT US LIKE SHIT. THEY ONLY HIRE THEIR OWN! THEY DROVE UP THE RENTAL MARKET Cuz we DON'T HAVE THE ROOM For them, & they make it impossible to find a place. They're RUDE, ENTITLED & THE WORST THING THAT'S HAPPENED TO CANADA IN MY ENTIRE 47 YRS! Im TIRED OF BEING NICE & Keeping my mouth shut. We basically let them walk right in & take over. If it ain't them, it's the Africans & Muslims. The guy on the bike being interviewed is 100000% RIGHT! And WHO THE FU*K Gives them DRIVERS LICENCES? They drive like they're still in INDIA! Why TF COME here if they're ONLY GONNA MAKE IT Like INDIA? STAY IN INDIA IF u DON'T ASSIMILATE!

3 million Indians since 2014 - 2021. The figure is likely accurate, if not low, because it focuses on new arrivals (both permanent and temporary) rather than just PRs. The real number is quite literally not able to be found, as the government is very corrupt and hides the data officially. The upcoming census 2026 is going to be DISGUSTING. 2021 and beyond the rate of forced migration was south asians taking up 60 percent of the immigrants, how is that reasonable, nor racist, and how can we even vet these people properly to have quality assimilants?

the guy on the bike is full of shit. you're far more likely to be raped in Canada by a cacausian male than an African. the africans are trying to be on good behaviour so that they can keep their visas. duh. And re: the number of Tims employees who are white: how many white Gen-Z Canadians do you see hoping to get a job at Tims vs. the number you can see who spend their entire day on their phones in their parents' basement?

At least they seem like they can hold jobs and speak the native language so can assimilate(as much as their overwhelming numbers allow) well enough. The poor driving performance is an extreme safety issue that needs addressed ASAP, immediately, yesterday.

All these comments are correct. We are all sick and bloody tired of what is going on in once a beautiful country here in cal Gary Alberta Canada, especially the Northeast quadrant of the city. It is nothing but people from India. They're Punjab, people from Nigeria, Africa, and the Philippines, and in my experience. I am a blind, white single woman who owns my condo and a perfect parking spot for 8 years. I have bean horrifically harassed, buy these people. Because I would not bow down to their demands to give them my parking stall. They used the Calgary city police as weapons against me. Calling them and telling them I am a child molester, because I was Videoing in public videoing, taking evidence Of what is going on around here? Witches, my constitutional right? They called the cops telling them, I am a racist, a drug dealer, and a killer. They almost we're successful in having my nephew arrested telling the police that he hit their little cockroaches. With his car, the black cop that I invited into my home stupidly. Was Very hot and waning arrest both of us, but there was no damage on the car. No damage on their little cockroaches, no charges, but the black cop 2 hours later cold because he wanted my nephew's license plate number. He was probably trying to catch him driving dirty, but never called back. So he didn't find anything. These people have threatened to shoot me. They have threatened big consequences. They have threatened to slap the f out of me. They have threatened to pop the pimples out of my eyes. And when they found out that I was blind, that's when they ramped up the harassment, the cops did nothing about the threats towards me when they told the cops that we I threatened to kill them. They are the ones that threaten to chop my nephew and his dog up. The cops never did anything about their threats. They told me to stay in my unit for safety or move for my safety. The condo corporation refuses to do anything as well. So if anyone nose a good civil rights lawyer, please reply to me. Because I fear for my life, this is no joke and because I have to move. I will have a good case to sue the condo corporation as I feel unsafe. These people from these countries do not like people. With disabilities, they believe that we are a curse and that we are a waste of society.

We have the power in numbers and have taken Canada

you have to understand one thing, the Sikhs are a minority in there own country...India. we are being killed in mass numbers by our own "people", having genocides committed against us. there is alot of politics involved between the Sikhs and India, we want our own country and they want to keep us oppressed.

Are they better than the black migrants? Yes. Are they still unwanted? Yes. Y'ALL BROWN PEOPLE GO BACK TO YOUR FUKN HOMELANDS. US WHITIES DON'T WANT YOU HERE ANYMORE (in large numbers). Oh and the HOT FEMALES UNDER 30 can stay. That is all.

Within the last century these people destroyed their own country & now they all run to white countries. Finally, Governor Carney has restricted the number of students from India 🇮🇳 plus cut back on immigration.

What do we think about it? I've heard words that are not in any dictionary. Yet, they are understood in their intent. There are too many that are far too ignorant. Those, give them all a bad rep. I don't blame them for being here, except those that don't leave when required. However, the government knew it would be a problem with the numbers allowed; lack of resources to ensure they were sent packing when their time expired. It should be codified in law that if you do nkmot leave, your entire family, including extended family gets the boot.

Because Canadian politicians are, like in essentially every country, in bed with the wealth class so they green lit a wildly retarded immigration policy to flood Canada with cheap labour and suppress wages. There was never a real labour shortage in all but and extremely limited number of industries in Canada. Indians and Pakistani's make zero effort to integrate even learn basic English. They aren't stupid. They want to overpopulate areas so that they don't even have to bother integrate. Make no mistake, this isn't a Liberal or Conservative issue. Canada's reckless immigration policy is a war being waged by the wealthy on the rest of us.

At least they, if they get more in number, won't ask for Sharia.

Here on the west coast its the same shit. These Indian guys in construction piss in water bottles and leave it in units, shit in bathtubs and none of them wear deodorant. Its fckin FOUL. We also have serious crime here because of them. Extortion cases, gang shootings, polluting the community with drugs. Dumptruck drivers who operate trucks with serious mechanical problems risking ppl's lives. My friend works for Commercial Vehicle Safety Enforcement and says they are the biggest offenders on the road by far!! Majority of them are really nice people but when the government allows tens of thousands to flood the place the numbers of scumbags go up.

I'm an Indian, and give these white people there beloved" tim hortons" back you guys! Damn. the racial profiling in this video is crazy "good white", "generally a dirty race". I'm currently in edmonton and the number of "white" people with piss in their pants i've seen is crazy . Stop racially profiling people it's never fun when it's done pointing at you, just so you know.
