I don't understand why people do not put the blame where it belongs - on Trudeau. He is the one that has created this entire crisis by purposely continuing to allow huge numbers of immigrants, half a million to million a year!! People do not see that Trudeau is doing this on purpose to undermine our Canadian culture and country. He wants to destabilize the middle class because he knows that's where the power lies in terms of informed voting. He needs to be removed AS.A.P. before Canada is destroyed completely.

They eat your foods,more schooling less rooms for native students,more traffic jams,more pollution more people drive up housing cost,more homeless supply and demand,lower labor cost,bad for middle class,cut more trees to build more houses,bad for climate changes not to mention more crime rate,medical costs.

China know what thier doing they destroyed our middle class by pushing us out of the housing market. If you dont believe me look at stats canada. Houses ranging from 1-5mill they own 60percent, condos & town houses they own 75%

Why can't the Europe, USA, Canada and Australia just accept all of Africa, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Latin America and the Middle East? I mean there is enough space to accommodate if you tried to do so. Even if China wanted to immigrate also to these countries I think there is still a lot of space. So just welcome the opportunity and growth that this huge influx of immigrants will provide.

that wouldn't happen in your life if you care about your country you support it because it's wrong that's how you are you don't know how to think about what's right and wrong you can't do anything because the taliban control is crazy because you people are afghans , libya, syria you people in the middle east are ignorant

It is so sad that middle eastern countries and their people believe in and run their governments by the Koran. If all of these people want it that way then they need to stay where it is the rule. If they don’t, then change it. There are many countries that would help. It couldn’t be any worse than what smugglers do to innocent humans.

Dear Canada, if you stop putting your nose in other country's affairs and stop following your big bully cousin, USA in meddling in evry corner of the world with the not-funny anymore DEMOCRACY, perhaps, people in Africa and middle east would leave their homeland less to move to your country; and, the Canadian people can pay less tax and keep their living standard.

Europe for Europeans! No Africans! No Middle Easterners!

No one wants their poverty, poverty is not a qualification for anything, except abuse and suffering. Around the world, migrants pay to cross borders, illegally; what the migrants don’t understand is that they could be paying for their own murder, get abandoned in the middle of the sea, the deserts, or they get kidnapped for ransom or slavery, their kids taken and sold to sex traffickers. And sometimes, after the migrant client is killed, their families keep on owing their murderer.

No body gonna talk about his English. Knowledge is a normal thing in Middle east. ?☝️

They’re are not the EUs problems. Maybe they should all stay in their country’s and rise up against the governments that are destroying their countries. The Middle East looked a lot better when European countries controlled them. Now look. Just like Africa and Asia. Now these people want to flock to Europe and destroy these European countries as well. Look at what’s happening in the UK right now.

Most people in Canada do like immigrants and try and want to accept newcomers . I am happy to see new faces younger people, people with a different outlook. However this lack of housing is a major problem for poor and lower middle class people - citizens and noncitizens. Unfortunately rents are a racket in most cities, the real estate business is full of unnumbered accounts and money laundering; Canada is full of organized crime from all over the world, we cant control foreign attempts at killing our citizen. So we can tell our government is not efficient and is doing a poor jobHowever I dont think the average immigrant is the problem and I feel they are treated like rubes by our government and taken advantage of and so are Canadians of different ethnic backgrounds who also suffer the same problems of many immigrants. That's the truth. Letting people in with out providing opportunities for jobs, housing, support is foolish and destructive to our country. Our politicians are selling us down the drain-i.e. all those who are not in the upper middle class or the elites. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!! VOTE FOR CHANGE !

We have exactly the same thing happening here in Australia, and the World Bank remittance figures for last financial year have just been released. Net CASH OUT OF AUSTRALIA FROM INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS WAS A RECORD $10.6 BILLION OUT OF THE COUNTRY. From 736,000 international students currently here. They pro ide absolutely no benefit to the country except for the wealthy land owners and politicians working hand in hand with multinationals all to reduce wage growth and remove the middle class.

I have met so many people in Canada especially from Africa , Middle East and Europe who apply to come here as asylum seekers just because they know they will get govt benefits and housing.

Justin Trudeau embraces the absurdities of progressive identity obsession and also kowtows to the cartels and oligarchs that run Canada's economy. The need for cheap labour to run the businesses essential to maintaining the fiction that the middle class is well off led to the foreign worker programs that benefit the corporate bottom line and keep the Laurentian ruling class in power. Record profits in the grocery sector riding on the coattails of price and wage fixing and price increases that have nothing to do with wholesale costs allowed the grocery cartel to more than double their return on food and beverage sales. Protectionist legislation to prevent foreign competition and protect the cartels means there won't be any substantive change under this government. Meanwhile the same government has increased the size of the bureaucracy by over 10,000 people in the last year alone while fewer and fewer actual services are competently delivered because the number of front line workers directly serving Canadians has shrunk. The longer the Junior regime is in power the worse the shock treatment will be.

What makes me laugh when people are talking about diversity is, who built these countries in the first place? I don't think Africa is capable of doing it, nor the middle east or even the Eastern countries. It's Europe who got these places started, it was initated by a white society, you know the guys who made all the inventions and stuff.

And the government will raise taxes on the middle class to pay for the housing problem. Always the same, steal from peter to pay paul. Put the brakes on liberals

Sad that our Gov t lets this happen and doesn t want the middle class to succeed.

To the Europeans complaining about refugees flooding your country, first ask your governments and armed forces: what were they doing in Afghanistan and middle east for the last 20-30 years?\nYour countries bombed their homelands, destroyed their infrastructure, source of income, all kinds of institutions including education. If that wasn't enough you also installed corrupt puppets as head of states who are further destroying those countries

Europeans are well off due to the historical destabilization of the Middle East and other poor countries, yet they complain about immigration. The audacity...

I'm so glad they are too dumb to wait until they are the majority before showing their hand.\nPlus these are the cowards that are too frightened to stay in the middle east.\nHundreds of millions of them can't even cope with 2 million Jews that they have surrounded ?\nWhat do you expect from a community where grown men marry their 12 year old cousins.

In terms of civil rights in identity obsessed Canada, where equal rights no longer exist, the Singh family aren't at the top of the ladder. You poor folks lost out. You'll get nothing and the judges will laugh at you. Trudeau might spare you his middle finger.

Make no mistake, the elite are allowing this, to squeeze landlords and the remaining middle class, so that corporate entities, like BlackRock, buy up these units en masse…

Here is a tip for the west. Stop going along with a certain country (sorry Youtube will sensor me if I name it. But it's currently in the middle of a genocide) and stop bombing and sanctioning (economic violence) other countries and you wouldn't have this problem! Have you noticed that country never takes in the refugees it's actions creates?

It is a lame excuse. All of the Middle Eastern countries does not allow evil minded people in their countries, that includes Palestinians, Rohingya’s, Uyghurs, Afghans, African Muslims etc. Be brave enough to say, we do not want terrorism in our countries.

Immigration has always benefited the wealthy oligarchs and does nothing for the poor and middle classes. It actually hurts people on the lower rungs of society because they are competing for jobs and affordable housing. Liberals don’t care

1.1 million from Middle East extremist country

They will be the new middle class

This is occurring on purpose. New World Order is all about dissolving nation states. The UN is shipping hundreds of thousands of African and Middle Easterners to small US towns. Who provides for their living costs??? The Southern border is only the obvious part of the problem.

What part of “we would die if we stayed in our home countries” do people not understand. If my life was at risk and/or I couldn’t go from poor to at least middle class in my home country, I would leave too. So many Americans are leaving America, because they can’t get to the middle class or they would financially struggle here. Whats the difference? Oh right, they’re coming and they’re poor. But wait, there’s that other point THEY WOULD DIE if they stayed. If you don’t care about that you’re an inhumane sociopath.

You cant import the 3rd world into your country in large numbers to save the world. It is a luxury belief held by the wealthy liberal elites that is inflicted upon the middle class and blue collar workers of that nation. It is suicidal for your culture.

As a person that grew up around Muslims and have Muslims in my family, the Middle East has never gotten along with each other way before the west came to that region. It’s always been the Sunnis vs. the Shiites. The countries that you named are Sunni Muslims who are anti terror and are tired of instability coming from Islamic jihadists regimes who are the Shiites. Also, the west have become corrupt cowards who have been brainwashed by leftists ideology that thinks by not accepting illegal migration, that you are a xenophobe. Now look at France, Canada, Germany, the uk, Sweden, Finland, Norway, and even America and how liberals have destroyed these once great and proud nations. Our grandchildren are going to hate us.

The Middle East problems aren't Europe's problem. It isn't Europe's Fault that people are homeless in war-torn countries. I wish all countries had the same immigration policy as Poland.

It's not racism! It's regular people who want to protect their way of life. A way of life that made their country great. If the roles were somehow reversed and Brits went to middle-eastern countries, didn't conform to the culture and lifestyle, and then started turning their host countries into something that resembled Western countries, these middle-easterners would have rioted decades ago!

Western tax payers when their money gets wasted for destruction in middle east: ? vs. When the people from the destruction strike them: ?

Used to love watch the Middle East, Taliban content from Vice…….Sad how things are going for them currently.

In the first place the wealth produced in your country (same for us in Europe) now is massively drained upward to the top of the pyramid (a pyramid with no medium part now since the middle class fell a few notches). Otherwise, yes there would be enough for everyone to live a comfortable life, free from concern; and we wouldn't be so scared of those poorer than us, we'd help them.

Have Canadians ever considered that building more middle density housing and not caring about property values would fix most of this?

canada needs more immigrants, but they need to be more diverse. african continent is underrepresented, india and europe are overrepresented. bring in more africans and latinos and middle easterners.

This is happening around the world. There must be a common theme, no? The war waged in the Middle East by the US military agenda started this. The madness they unleashed there removing leaders which created a terror vacuum that installed fanatical groups in leadership positions. Then, pressure was placed on Europe to receive these immigrants who were displaced by US terrorism. The ‘leader of the free world’ is responsible for the current climate!

One word: collapse of the middle class. Inflation without wage raise, housing is not affordable anymore, and on top of that, you need to go to college to be poor.\nWell done.\nAnti immigration sentiment is a symptom (scapegoat), not the reason.

If you travel through Indian villages mainly in Punjab, Mumbai, Delhi and Southern states every KM you will see study/immigrate to Canada. They will tell you it is very easy as you need to spend only INR2.0Million( CAD 35K) to get there and balance you can work there as part time. Majority of Indians coming to Canada is from low income families who want to become middle class in India . High time Canada regulate its student intake and restrict only to selected universities and courses and stop allowing part time work. High skill immigration is still ok as they are coming based on their merit and point threshold and definitely contributing for Canadas economic growth. Student intake must be controlled .

There are very few normal people except the dredges of society who migrate to western countries and maybe a few super super rich. The west made it so hard to jump through all the hoops that normal middle class would not want to put in the effort to degrade themselves and go west. The result is Canada and most of the west get the worst type of migrants and yet the west makes it even harder paradoxically and ends up with even more boat people!

Western countries have been destroying the middle east for decades and are now mad at the consequences of making millions of peoples homes uninhabitable
