Multi-culturism it seems has failed. They keep pushing it because it makes people a lot of money. Corporations benefit as it provides cheap labour, and government get new tax payers. \nThey will keep doing it even if it harms the country because it's ultimately a money racket wrapped up as social engineering. ?

A black tenant that does not pay her rent, maybe she was expecting social housing.

Never voted right but there's a kind of immigration that is happening now in the West that is simply tearing at the stability of things. Even here in Portugal, it's getting out of hand. If you flood countries with people from radically different cultures, with radically different habits.......eventually you are going to destroy what that country had going for it.\n\nWe gotta stop this. I wish I didn't believe this migration wasn't planned by powerful entities to do exactly what is doing - disrupting the social fabric...........but, unfortunately all these big movements (wokeism etc) are designed precisely to have us at each other's throats.

Horrible title this is social conditions has nothing to do with race \n\nVanity news report

1) New build houses with lower quality\n2) Higher construction prices for those low quality new builds due to lingering effects of COVID lock-downs\n3) Current housing inventory also increasing dramatically in cost due to high demand/low supply \n4) Wages not increasing to match the increased costs of living on all fronts\n5) People living longer and taking more from social services than ever\n6) Governments importing massive amounts of legal/illegal immigrants which adds further strain on social services\n\nAnyone else want to add anything?

If Canada is heading towards poverty , is it due to hard working immigrants ? What a Silly argument . Poverty is , if you do not work , live on social money . The Lazy obess are looking for a scapegoat . if 2nd Largest Country can't support 47 million people , the fault is not with any type of work doing immigrants , it's somewhere else .

Multiculturalism doesn't work and never has , it's proven on a daily basis for many years now.. It's been a government tool used to get votes and also an excuse to create social programs and other excuses to waste taxpayers' money.. Which, in return, makes people angry, and the divide continues..

Because they don't want Canada to become like the U.S. and Great Britain. Multiculturalism breeds social problems.

because people is braiwashed by media, why spending billions to support wars, banning.....instead using this money for infras..,housing .social.....

Why do so many in the west feel like we need more diversity? \n\nSOME diversity is great.\n\nTOO MUCH diversity leads to disunity, a breakdown of social cohesion and a loss of cultural and national identity.

Well atleast they’re doing something about it, rather than complaining pointlessly on social media blaming a country of 1.4 billion people who for the most part don’t have any blame in this problem.

In my experience, there has always been a feeling in Canada against immigrants. This is generally among the working class. \n\nIn the early 1990s I was doing a lot of work in Canada for a US tech company. I am an American, by the way. One time I was working with a Chinese Canadian engineer, who worked for the client company. We went to the loading dock to check on the equipment from my company, which had just arrived. The native Canadian loading dock workers were openly making racist slurs about the Chinese engineer, right in front of him. He was very careful not to respond. I asked him about it later, and he just waved it off. This was in the Toronto area. I was also warned about Chinese who were involved in organized crime in the city. Then, a few days later I saw it in downtown Toronto. Two Chinese men in a Mercedes had stopped on the road and pulled a woman out of the car and started threatening her. It was a tense situation. \n\nOften it is the government types that welcome the immigrants, for various reasons. Canada does indeed have a demographic problem. \n\nThis is not the 19th and early 20th century in Canada or the US or Europe. Today we have extensive social safety nets. This means taxpayer dollars. In the earlier times the immigrants had to fend for themselves. Even then, there would be feelings against the immigrants. At least in the US it was a time of rapid economic and geographic expansion. Not so anymore.

Imagine if Canadians went to these people's countries en masse, worked all the jobs for cheaper, formed ethnic enclaves with businesses that didn't even include the host country's official language, refused to integrate into the host country's culture, refused to learn the language, refused to hire the host country's people, attempted to bring over their elderly, sick relatives who provide no economic benefit to strain the host country's social services, demand the host country change to suit Canadians whims, and after having ALL of these demands met, and being welcomed in with open arms, STILL played the victim and acted as if they were being oppressed

Social engineering doesn't work. Multiculturalism is a failure. Not all cultures are equal. Assimilation is the key, and hasn't been pursued.

The aging population theory requires immigrants to maintain gdp. The problem is a huge lack of government assistance with housing, healthcare, social services, ect. This seems to be increasing homelessness globally to the point laws are being passed to combat homelessness now. Crazy times when the solution of increasing government aid and assistance is rejected year after year

Immigrants from Philippines are acting and pretending to be well off in social media.

GEE I WONDER, why dont people like being replaced and losing their democratic political voice, culture, and social cohesion in their own country? truly a mystery.

it is not only housing - schools, hospitals basically any social services where under strain even prio 1mln intake

This is ridiculous, after the raise to capitol gains tax & primary residents, plus 600,000 undocumented migrants/160,000 illegal migrants, & more coming. \n\nThis is unsustainable & should not be foeced onto Canadians who have done their part to meet the social contract.\n\nTrudeau & Jagmeet need to go.

This came up in my feed, I'm in England ??????? and I've always rented as finances have never really been enough to get on the property ladder. I started off in a Private rental and thankfully I'm now in Social housing with an Assured Tenancy so it would be extremely difficult for the housing association to evict me and they have to prove to fault in court and they can't serve me a no fault notice. However rent has always been my number 1 priority bill, when I rented privately I had a Standing order set up with the bank and they drew the money out every month to pay the landlord. I set it so they drew it 3 days before the rent payment date and to account for weekends as banks don't pay out on weekends. In England ??????? rent is classed as paid when it leaves the tenants account not when a landlord receives it, so that's why I set up to leave 3 days early so it never debited late. Now I live in Social housing and it's been fantastic for me and my needs and I'm super lucky as there isn't much social housing about here anymore. I now pay rent by the method requested by the housing association which is direct debit and I pay it on the due date now as direct debits are credited to your rent account on the actual due date even if it's a weekend and then bank draws it out on the Monday. Rent is so important, I can call the housing association if anything is broken or not working and they send someone to fix it without any extra charge to me as it's all in with the rent. You have to pay your rent and if you can't afford it then look for something cheaper and give notice to your landlord.

It's poor planning. You can never allow population growth to outpace social services, housing, and public infrastructure. It's a recipe for disaster. The government just needs to take a practical look at what the country can and can't support.

USA invasions and crimes made this immigration.\nCanada is part of this social problem.

Replacement is the strategy of Capitalism in crisis without a solution to lower wages and break the social struggle.

If one compares the illegal immigration numbers to UK and Canadian numbers with respect to land geography mass, we are lucky that there have been no riots. But it cannot be ruled out as the trend is not sustainable socially and culturally.

Scapegoating? It's simple supply and demand, and nothing can change it. Socialism won't fix it, importing impoverished people won't fix it, legislation won't fix it. You have to attract people with the proper skillsets to make the country and city better. Having a booming population and no room to grow doesn't do that. The California Bay Area and Los Angeles area has already seen the problems this causes, companies and skilled workers are moving to places that they can afford to live and build companies. With more people comes less opportunities, Canada needs to learn from the mistakes of others. Do not take everyone, take those who want a better life but can also give back to the country.

The issue is not with immigrants or immigration, rather a lack of social structures. Canada has one of the highest taxation, with the lowest return spending on social structures, as compared to their high ranking counter parts.

because its stretching our social programs to the limit we can't have mass of people coming to our countries to benefit from the hard working people who needs the program more than the people coming in.

why are they not going to africa or asia. only going to Europe because its rich and full of resources and have very good social programs. that why many of them coming to western nation to benefit from our system we put to help out the needy. Our people are suffering from high inflation and high cost of living and our government its not helping our citizen first, only the people coming in mass.

Canada has no high end jobs... but you have forgotten your social spending comes from immigrants.... why immigrants are better off in US is because US does not need uber/taxi drivers...

Socialism shares the poverty equally.

Expose her name on all of social media so no one rents to her again. How do you spell this criminals name? Deeqa Rafle ?

Let all these ppl in...they deserve to get welfare, food stamps, free medical care, housing, social security, etc!!!!.....if you disagree then you're a racist!!!!?????

Anyone that has been online for the last 15 years or on social media in general can see how far right interests have been astro turfing every corner of it to push their awful ideology.

It has to stop or there will be civil war and chaos. Yeah it´s nice to be compassionate\nbut you have to be able to afford it. And when you can´t find affordable housing, the\ngroceries get more expensive every week and your society is overburdened with the\nfinancial and societal costs of immigration (welfare, social housing, overtaxed schools\nand hospitals not to mention crime) it will break the system.

If the govt dont have adequate social services then it is totally counter productive to inflate the population size bc that only worses the problem!!

Welcome to SOCIALIST thinking. Historically, most immigrants have had a hard time when experiencing a new culture. It seems worse now because socialism distorts the market.

Immigrants living on social welfare, causing a rise in crimes, bringing a culture that hurts the country... why would that cause an anti-immigrantion sentiment?

A tenant of mine - a social worker - shifted a homeless man into an empty apartment in my house without asking for a permit. I offered him to shelter the homeless man as a guest within his rented apartment, yet this he did not want. Typical socialist: placing the rotten egg in the nest of others to deal with. I told him, if he does this again, then eviction time comes.\n\nThere is a way to get the above lady out. No, I am not talking about hitmen from the dark web. What I mean is, get the government agencies involved by claiming she endangers hygienic conditions within the building. There is always some evidence for that, if not then be creative and shift the blame.

A term you will never hear from any politician about immigration: Social dumping

Socialism society at its best.

It's not really the fault of immigrants or foreigners that you feel insecure both socially and economically. It's the fault of the system that allowed them to enter the country in the first place. They're just trying to survive like the rest of us in Canada.\n\nBut we cannot deny the fact that more immigrants or foreigners means more demand for housing, rent, food, and other necessities, leading to higher prices. The only people who benefit from this system are the rich, not the working class.\n\nIf you're not rich, can you live with ever-increasing inflation caused by demand pressures and supply interruptions due to population increase and unexpected natural and man-made disasters? Your answer to this question will determine your real position on whether or not immigration is perfect for Canada.

Hey, this video was straight to the point and informative! Thank you for this.. I’m a UK citizen planning on moving to Canada and I’m in the Marketing, Social Media and Creative field. Do you know any good recruitment agencies for this? ?

No Venezuelan go home and make socialism work

Why Germany, it is an attack on Germany. Global social service, eventually the money tins out.

Saying that “to many people are chasing apartments” is not the cause of real estate prices increasing and that the decay of social services and lack of infrastructure is just nonsense Canada has increased the public service sector by 150k job since 2000s it’s the fastest growing sector of job since 2020

A toxic concoction of socialism (high taxes and welfare) and capitalism (landlordism).

Go to America, Joe and Kamala will give you free healthcare, and social security, housing, and food in exchange on the taxpayers dime in exchange for votes

Maybe the rapid increase in crime and a rapid decrease in living standards as social systems can't handle so many people?

Scapegoating is the right word. The same people complaining about a lack of infrastructure for everyone are the same people who voted for politicians who cut social services and removed rent control. Blame yourselves.

Meanwhile I get evicted for asking for a rent receipt. Bank records aren't evidence anymore I guess. Likely it's because I'm the wrong colour. It is called Social Justice Tribunal
