I’m a proud Indian who is now a Canadian citizen, and I’ve made a conscious effort to assimilate into Canadian culture and values. What bothers me is how this conversation has been reduced to blaming one group. The reality is that the Canadian government failed first by not properly managing immigration volumes, not enforcing document verification, and not honestly assessing whether the country could support such rapid population growth. That policy failure created pressure on housing, jobs, and social systems long before resentment followed. We also need honesty within the Indian community. Some Indians struggle to adapt being overly loud, culturally rigid, and sometimes lacking empathy for Canadian norms and shared public spaces. I studied Canadian and Indigenous history in school, and respecting that history matters. Assimilation doesn’t mean abandoning your culture, but it does mean understanding and respecting the society you chose to join. Cultural education should be expected, not optional. That said, one Indian doing something wrong does not make all Indians bad. Most Indian students and workers I know are hardworking, punctual, and serious about contributing. I’ve personally worked minimum-wage jobs for years, and what I noticed was not jobs being “taken,” but fewer Canadian youth willing to stay in or commit to these roles long-term. Indians didn’t replace Canadians, they filled vacancies that already existed. I also briefly volunteered helping the homeless, and what I saw was honestly shocking. It’s not that the government isn’t trying to help there are rehabilitation programs and support systems in place. The difficult truth is that a significant portion of the homeless population struggles with substance abuse and refuses treatment because it requires giving up drugs. Over time, homelessness itself starts to function like a culture, where benefits and assistance unintentionally enable continued substance use rather than recovery. This is an uncomfortable reality people don’t like to talk about. None of this is simple. Immigration didn’t break Canada, and neither did one community. Poor policy, weak enforcement, lack of accountability, and refusal from governments and individuals to adapt responsibly is what brought us here. Blame is easy. Honest solutions are not.

Born just 1 hour away from here, I can tell you it's not just Brampton. Indians have basically taken over all surrounding areas and nobody likes it.

Thanks for Covering the BULLSHIT silent invasion of Canada man. I live in the west BC and its just as bad over here. None of the youth can get their 1st job and start working for thw first time because all new begginer entry lvl jobs are taken by all the east indians and other foriegm worker bs. It needs to change, something needs tohappen before it to late, tbh it already feels to late theyve been slowly but steady moving all of India/chyna over and taken over Canada. It feels very weird being a white person walking around your own country getting weird angry looks when you go to a specific area or neighborhood. Its just Wrong it shouldnt be like that. Dont come into our fucking country and try n turn it into your old shithole one, you Follow OUR COUNTRYs rules and laws. Smh. Canada so cooked. Love your work Tyler keep up to good stuff. Hope you enjoyed the way while you were here.

It’s mad when you country is being taken over and you call it out your branded a racist hahah 100 years ago the country would go to war crazy how soft we got

They are ruining canada, Brampton is already destroyed they have taken over everything and only hire they’re own people they are horrible people who have ruined our country and our town

Born in ontario in 97, a complete disaster has taken place pretty well across canada and it will never get better. Im hoping that you will be able to provide some evidence of this disaster this has impacted the majority of canadiens in a negative regard.

Canadian here, it’s not just Brampton anymore. Most our towns have been over taken.

We need all these illegal foreigners out of our country NOW. If you weren’t born here or had your citizenship for 3+decades GET OUT. Stop allowing this filth to continue and strain our society! This is Canada. All of these huge demonic creatures with multiple hands and feet need to be TAKEN DOWN. The Canadian flag is the only flag that should be flown high. Shame on the liberal government for allowing this to happen.

Trust me, Canadians are getting sick of this shit. I moved over an hour away from Brampton and even rural towns are getting taken over with indians. Something bigger at play causing this.

The real problem with immigration to western countries is the labour force... Tell me honestly can white citizens of us,canada\\europe fill the space taken by, mexicans,muslims\\indians or Asians??? You westerners are too lazy or too little in population to fill the economic needs of Low paying jobs in your countries

Its not just brampton. You can go to but fuck no where is the smallest rural town and they seem to have taken over all hospitality service work

I'm from a small place in eastern canada , Every tim's has been taken over ! My town might have 2500 people and not one white person works in any tim's within 400 km it's kinda crazy ! With hardly any jobs maybe they should employ people that's actually from here first ?

I live in Alberta and Canada has fallen. We are completely taken over at this point and I'm voting to leave Canada while we still can. Canada is complete and utter socialist shit.

These people are so dumb that they need to pay 6,000 to be taken across the largest unmanned border on earth.

as a Canadian living in Ontario, this has been sickening me since it started. Now we're just another country that's been taken over and I guess the true north strong and free have submitted to the jeets. I pray we will take back our country.

I honestly don’t know what the bike guy has against all Africans 😂he left how the Indians have taken over his county and focused on Africans 😂 I respect the hate😂 As a Nigerian African, I also hate when people don’t assimilate into the country they are opportune to be part.

For all international viewers, as a Canadian please do not let this video have you thinking these people have only taken over Brampton. This plague is in EVERY city in Canada. These people are invading and destroying our country.

As a non Indian Canadian born and raised I’m disgusted where my country has gone. Our population has doubled since 1980, not by birth rate, but because of the amount of Indians that have immigrated here. Unfortunately, they have no desire to assimilate, they bring their own culture and they stay in their own communities. The government offers tax breaks for businesses, hiring foreign workers over people born in Canada, leaving the youth without any part-time work. On top of that some of my favourite restaurants growing up, I haven’t eaten at in years because it’s been taken over by Indians, the quality of food goes down, you end up getting food poisoning and if you aren’t in their community, you get worse service and get charged more than what an Indian would pay at the same restaurant. They don’t understand cleanliness or sanitation, they leave their garbage and waste on the street and dump it in random locations, and quite frankly have no respect for anyone who lives here or the country that has taken them in. I feel like a minority of my own country and I truly don’t understand what being Canadian means anymore because I’m pretty sure being Canadian is a thing of the past. Most of my friends have moved further north, to Vancouver island or moved out to the prairies to get away from them and higher prices as everything gets more expensive, thanks to our government, caring more about immigrants than citizens. When a family gets accepted to come here they bring their parents their aunts and uncles their brothers and sisters on temporary visas, they also collect social assistance as soon as they arrive and when their visas expire, they have no desire to go back, which has resulted in thousands of illegals remaining here. I mean I get it. Why would you go back when you’re getting treated better here and are given food, housing and an allowance every month but it’s gotten to a point where India outnumbers Canadians. I want them all sent back.

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS. WE ARE BEING TAKEN OVER AND NO ONE CARES!!!!!

i lived in brampton/bramalea 1971-1997. when i went to school in 70s we already called it "bramladesh" and certain buildings were "curry corners" or "turban towers". also a lot of newfoundlanders went there. even then, it was more or less "normal"...but now its the car accident and domestic violence capital of canada. also, the school my older sister attended in the next town over, malton, was turned into hindu temple in the 80s. malton was formerly an italian stronghold but was also completely taken over by indians in the 80s and 90s.

Indians are not dirty, and we don't eat poop, that guy who said all these horrible, nasty things shoes how much he hates Indians, it's true that this place has a huge indian community, but as long as they're harmless, they don't don't violate laws they must stay, look indian people contribute towards the economic growth of any country they reside in, ofcourse some indians lack civic sense, but that doesn't mean everyone is like that ??!! In America, Drugs has taken over, almost 30% people are homeless, burglary, theft is common, Cops will do nothing, Psychopaths are on the rise, Murder, break ins, killing by guns, accidents, are rising, Trump is weaponising ICE and killing USA citizens, putting kids in jail for no reason, complete chaos, no jobs are there, no buses, trains for easy commute, Relationships are broken, nobody is happy in all the western countries, divorce, cheating, and mind you, most indians are contributing towards the economic growth of USA, all the software engineers from India, now you're Deporting them as if your citizens are all geniuses, Indian community is not at all a problem, your mindset towards us, is the problem, this is racism, this is discrimination, America is supposed to be the origin and flag-bearer Of democracy, do something about that, other than Focusing on people who are residing peacefully with you guys, yes you have the law and order, enforce them on everyone, but don't blame them just because they're different, different in colour, religion, accent etc.

The west is being taken over by Muslims . Wake the fuk up people . Take your country back !!!

Criminals have taken over the EU countries and turned into a third world countries They came on fake student visa and abuse the visa system They bring their wife husband mother in law family members relative's and not returning home Deport immediately

I know a guy who owns a veterinary practice in Brampton. He says their sign near the road gets taken out by a car almost monthly

Taken over without a single shot fired

As a Indian Sikh that was BORN in Australia with parents that have been in Australia for over 17 years, these new Indians coming here are the problem I’m not trying to be rude or racist but I’ve gone to India many times and there everyone is in Canada or something but when they get there they treat it like India, like if ur gonna go to a different country at least respect them . India is a beautiful country with good food it’s just that some (keyword some) people are disrespectful most Indians are like this because of stereotypes so they sometimes feel angry so then they try to get revenge. I’m not saying everyone is like this but I had to get it out because I’m starting to feel annoyed with Indians and other people, Indians also say that the uk stole from them so they are stealing back but that was only uk and only the government not the people. What u see on screens is not actually what India looks like on behalf of the Indian community I would like to say I’m sorry to everyone and every country we have taken over just know not everyone is like this only the Indians who have a ego and think they are better , sorry Canada, America, Australia and any other country

Congratulations youre so dumb yo think Islam is taking over britian and Canada is being taken over by india. Grow up you islamaphobic racist

America was colonized by whhhites so always remember USA is built off of immigrant labor and taken by the colonizers so I love these people that say these bad things. Im American and I was raised around all different types of ethnicities

Man just posted an actual human trafficker on YouTube but not a damn action will be taken on them.

Please cover Surrey BC next, it’s so bad here my 16 year old brother can’t find an entry level job because there all taken by Indians

Grew up in Brampton, horrible what has happened to this country. Canada is over the third world has taken over. Grandparents came here worked hard the Canadian way, if they saw what happened to this country it would be a disgrace. Canadians are tired and are feeling the impact on mass immigration. Government has failed us miserably.

I'm extremely liberal However I do understand how seeing your customs and ways of life being taken over can be frustrating. It's ok to be liberal and still call for immigration control. And its ok to be conservative and have the empathy to understand that most people that are already established here are just seeking a peaceful life. I just wish more people can see both sides instead of taking the extreme inhumane side of " deport them all!! ".

Im not sorry but theve taken our jobs homes food low income services i want canada to become the 51st state and then ice will take them out

Let me tell you this as a legal Indian immigrant that came here 13 years ago with my whole family. There was a balance of immigration coming in from every country which was amazing until they opened the gates to India like it’s another bus stop away from India. Since then there have been so many illiterate people that fraudulently came here and keep trying to make Canada like back home which needs to stop. The reputation of Indian people which used to be hard working and family people is getting ruined by people that come here to give back nothing to Canadian economy. People that used to come into Canada came in with a dream but now it feels like just visiting another Indian state especially Brampton……… hopefully this stops but with the monkeys that have currently taken over Canadian parliament i hardly see an end to this.

Yeah as a Canadian who lives in the Greater Toronto Area, I can appreciate how immigration as a concept is good. But Canada is at a point now where a large influx of immigrants are shocking our economy and dropping our quality of life. And the majority of these immigrants come from one country. No hate to India, as a half Indian myself, but when you bring these people over in droves, they feel it unnecessary to assimilate as they all coalesce with each other - where they feel comfortable. So you have the majority of them who don't speak our language, who don't carry our values, and don't feel that any of it is required. And it makes you feel, as a Canadian like you're being taken over. We want a lower immigration rate, and we want a greater spread of people from across the world. I don't want Canada to become India.

Just a technical term but that guy is a human smuggler not a trafficker. trafficking is when you are taken somewhere against your will. smuggling is when you are willfully being moved into the other area.

East Indian people paint their houses with cow dung. They believe that because “Krishna” was the highest manifestation of God who was a “cow herd” loved cows. That’s where the term “sacred cow” comes from. Krishna is the Indian God of love. Hindus have taken this belief to the extreme by consuming cow dung,…

I’m Punjabi, Indian and my parents came in the 1970s assimilated, and became hard working people and earned a name and reputation! The Indians coming in now are degenerates, entitied to PR and the they don’t act like students they want to drive around in jeep wranglers and chargers in plazas and fight with one another like morons! They have brought the Sikh people name down. Sadly there’s two parts, the good Indians are taken advantage of and their employers take advantage and they have to live in rental properties with tons of people living at once but in the end there’s a lot to uncover!

Tyler please check all immigration ethnicity, we are being taken over and not a sole in the media or government says a single thing. The next UK

I have a sister that lives in Vancouver and she says the Indians have taken over like a cancer and they do not care about assimilating either. At least they're not Muslims, amirite?

Tim Hortons is completely taken over even the ones out in the middle of nowhere are the same as you see in this video, same with any entry level job that has gone corporate in Canada

come to australia and do something abt our priminester who doesn’t listen to Australians and are having a mass immigration problem and they won’t do anything abt it they take our jobs houses to our tax payer money and everything australia is being taken over by immigrants

Immigration isnt bad...its good. But open borders and a very flast influx of foreigners isnt. It doesn't make them assimilate nor does it help canadians assimilate to them. They just avoid eachother until they can't. Immigration is supposed to be a process/privilege, not to be taken for granted. Do it slow and nobody will even notice.

Oh man, why wasn't I in that video? The thing is, when you bring up people who faced discrimination and serious problems in their home countries—like not having access to a decent standard of living, proper culture, or good education—it makes everything so much harder for them when they arrive in a new country too.I also want to talk about jobs in Canada, bruh. All the industries seem dominated by specific ethnic groups that have basically taken them over. For example, in construction, you mostly see Spanish or Portuguese crews who only speak their own language on the job. And Indians—they've pretty much taken over all the Walmarts and fast-food chains in Canada.They should've kept Canada truly multicultural instead of letting it turn into this. And don't even get me started on the nepotism in the job market lol. You cant even make a gues how hard was for me to find a roofing company that speaks english in their crews lol.

This is perfect. Right before I move out, all the houses are going to be taken by people who don't have my country's best interests in mind. 😔 Hopefully young people can encourage some change to the country. I want Canada to be a good place to live.

As a native Canadian, I feel like we have been taken over by the Indians.

Yep, my workplace was taken over by Indians.

I'm so glad you did this video. Racist will be the first response. Yet, as Canadians we know that our Race is the minority and young white people refuse to work. It is also very hard when every single store; walmart; Fast food is all India. Other races will not be hired, so all we see are India taking over every taxi and every single job. They can tolerate having all their family live in one house, as they buy multiple homes. These homes are left empty, until enough house are bought to take over a lane or an entire neighbourhood. They are not hostile; extremely friendly, yet not as concerned about wearing hair net or beard net or gloves when preparing food. (We are told most are friendly but to be mindful of those that wear their head wrap. (Timmins Ontario has been taken over) ... According to 2021 Census data from Statistics Canada, there were approximately 765 people of South Asian descent living in the Timmins census agglomeration. Recent estimates and community reports suggest this number has continued to grow through 2026, primarily driven by international students and economic immigration. Population Estimates and Demographics Indian Immigrants: As of the 2021 Census, 115 residents in Timmins were specifically listed as having India as their place of birth, a significant increase from 55 in 2016. South Asian Population: The broader "South Asian" visible minority group—which predominantly includes people of Indian heritage—numbered 765 in 2021, representing 1.9% of the total population. This was a sharp rise from only 165 people in 2016. International Students: A significant portion of the Indian community consists of students at Northern College. Reports indicate that since 2017, the college has enrolled nearly 2,000 international students, with approximately 96% originating from India. Recent Growth Trends (2022–2026) While the official 2026 Census data is not yet available, current local indicators point to a sustained increase in the Indian community: Rebounding Population: Mayor Michelle Boileau noted in 2024 that Timmins' population has reached its highest levels in over a decade due to immigration and industry opportunities. Newcomers: Since 2021, over 700 newcomers have arrived in Timmins through programs like the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot (RNIP). Cultural Infrastructure: The growth of the community led to the establishment of the city's first Sikh temple to serve the expanding Sikh and Indian resident base. Note that "North American Indian" refers specifically to Indigenous First Nations people, of which there were approximately 2,640 in Timmins as of 2021. This is distinct from the population of people with origins in the country of India.

The white guy with the helmet is pretty based but even he is afraid to say that his city has been invaded and taken over...

Brampton aka Bramladesh is the worst, but all cities, even small ones have been taken over right now in Canada. It's terrible, and if Trump doesn't absorb us into the USA and put ICE to work, god might as well send meteors. Thank you Tyler for showing this and braving the cold.
