Canada should be part of the United States. Quit the entitlement.

The only problem was, for the past 20 years people of Canada and the leaders have de-activated the mathematics cells in their brains, or there was a localized numbness in the quantitative cells portion of their noodles up there. As a result they didn't understand what 99% Canadians were making per month after taxes (just simple numbers its not their fault), and the real estate mafia and grocery conglomerates started adding drugs in the foods of retail chains deteriorating the math part of the brains of Canadians further, now after 2 decades of such dedicated work by these humble bodies, everybody started waking up and discussing everywhere like these two non-native English speaking reporters ?????? ITS A JOKE NOW

I would be much more likely to move to holland, or New Zealand if I ever moved. Maybe even Germany. Absolutely never the states ? even tho I think OF the places to live in the states, Santa Cruz , Vermont, Seattle , Portland or near by, or maybe even Maine if they weee less expensive and more diverse Lolol might be places I’d be less averse to I guess but unfortunately they’re all still a part of the states as a whole so never and no thanks. ?. \nOh or maybe some of the Canadian border states areas that are very close and have similar beautiful geography with lots of cottage country like environment and run across the border distance to O Canada ??? is that cheating ?

To all the Indian sympathizers , these folks were born in India , so they are asking visa to visit the birth place. Khalistan is being tarnished by foolish Hindus , it’s means pure land , no one is asking separate state , Majority of Sikhs know it and they are not part of the movement. However, This new breed of Hindus led by Modi seems they can tarnish Sikhs and Khalsa. It’s impossible. In next 100 years , Sikhs and Khalsa will flourish

This is a problem with Indian media... Indians blah blah blah... PR is not stopped only modified and the fact that MOST Indians who are new comers are way below average threshold is hurting their chances. I don't see a Masters or PhD holder from a good Canadian university rolling on streets. They are respectfully employed. Yes there is recession and oversupply of immigrants and that's the balance that needs to be corrected. I belong to Indian heritage as well and I openly say WE INDIANS HAVE A BIG PROBLEM. WE ASSUME WE ARE ENTITLED TO EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD whether we deserve it or not.... Someone ask this lady to name a modern day invention that has an Indian name on it... yes Indians are a part of that invention team but not own it. ChatGPT is a recent example.

maybe instead of sending your pay cheques to India you could have planned a little better. Its not up to Canada to feed your birth country family, India is set to be the 5th largest economy on the planet this year, go home and be part of that, be happy,

What part of TEMPORARY and NON-CITIZEN do they not understand? Canada's full. Go home.

Canada remains stable because in large part due to the rule of law. The reason so many wish to come to Canada is largely due to our stability. Trying now to bypass those very same rules is, well, ironic.

We don't want them here unless they're willing to actually be a part of our society and check their hatred at the date.We don't want you

The American Empire will eventually collapse under the weight of illegal immigrants from Asia, India, Central and South America, Africa and parts of Europe will eventually overwhelm America, leaving the spoils of the ciuntry to outsiders.

What part of illegal aliens does this woman not get?

You guys brought good information but shallow interpretation specially on the last personal opinion part - perhaps by the shortage of life experience Well when you guys criticized your college colleagues I thought wht but they are not Canadians... We have always things to do better don't you think?

This is so interesting! Thanks! I was raised in Canada by European parents and sometimes I don’t know what part of me is Canadian and what is my culture!

Entrepreneurs are saying this can prejudice the business but It’s simple; just follow the example of other countries like Australia: give more seasonal visas, allow international students (including those taking English courses) to work part-time outside the school to support businesses, issue more work visas to people with NO police records and visa ID, again PEOPLE WITH IDENTIFICATION. Illegal immigrants are criminals, not immigrants.

Politicians always play safe for their benefits, but any native should never feel a stranger in their own hometown, it's a nightmare, I'm an Indian, from Kerala, I can't think of feeling and outsider in Kerala, so totally understand what people feel in any part of the world. But don't you think, any outsiders coming and occupying the masses seems like a problem with the efficiency of people there, even here in Kerala we used to speak of Tamil population in early 80s and now Bengalis occupying our street, but can we actually blame them? I would say no, we didn't do our job, they came and did the job and now they are in huge numbers. The same happens anywhere in the world. You don't do your job right, someone will come down the job and probably occupy a heart share of the city gradually, for malayalis Kochi esp Aluva is a real time case study for the same.

You're missing an entire province; one that powers large parts of the eastern coast of Canada and the united states, houses a half a million people and accounts for a large portion of the oil Canada produces.

I’m an international student, from my perspective it seems like the government can’t keep themselves from messing with the economy, basically crippling it by regulations, making the market unable to take advantage of the increased labor supply.\n\nI have spent almost half a million in Canada, which includes tuition, living cost, and starting a business which now employs two Canadians. But because I spent one term as a part time student, I have became ineligible for PGWP, which means I have no way of staying in Canada through my own agencies.\n\nThat is a slap in the face for immigrants whove come here to settle, the fact that I have positively contributed to the Canadian economy than many Canadians ever have, while withdrawing absolutely zero from public benefits, now if I buy a house here yall will drop on me a 50%+ capital gains tax and then kick me out, why would anyone want to invest in Canada? I’m seriously considering just moving to Florida because of all these. \n\nWhat happened to the good old days when you can come here with nothing, integrate into the community, and then become Canadians? Almost none of the forefathers of Canadians had to contribute this much into the society first to become Canadians, they stayed because their peers wanted them to stay, and the market was free to adjust to the labor supply and housing demand without government interference.\n\nWhat I see is not an immigration problem, it’s a big government problem, Canadians have become addicted to the government making decisions for them. The government has its grip on every aspect of Canadian life, it has hindered the responsiveness of the economy so much, that it cant even pivot to take advantage of free capital (int’l students) and third world labor rates (temp foreign workers).

The fun part is they stopped the Mexican route. Because they got kidnapped and had to pay ransom. ???

I am a skilled worker (an engineer), I graduated from a master's in Germany and speak fluent german. Housing is one of the negative points I can mention. Another one is the waiting times for a document work at Ausländerbehörde. Here in Stuttgart it is the worst as far as I see. \nAnother thing I dont like is to pay so much to the health insurance and at the end you even cannot get an appointment when you have a tooth ache for instance. \nAnother rather cultural difficulty is that you cannot find a place in the society, Germans do not make friends and when you only make friends with expats then it does not feel you are a part of the society. At least from my understanding.\n\nPositively enough, I have not yet faced racism in my daily life etc. \n\nI would be thinking to leave Germany one day maybe, but for another german speaking country probably.

Very insightful analysis! So proud of our Sikh brothers who relentlessly fought for freedom of India. Sikhs are integral part of India and every hinud is proud to have brothers like Sikhs!!!

most of the record prices is in part due to corporation realestate and chinese oligarchy realestate buying. Corporation based on business methods of profit. Investment properties but no one living in these places.

Trudeau supporters would have called you a bigot or a Russian asset for posting this video on uncontrolled immigration during a housing, homelessness and healthcare crisis. They started to realize name calling wasn't working anymore since data is much more superior. They blame everyone else now instead of holding accountability. They refuse to believe it was done intentionally by the Liberal government so corporations can keep wages low and landlords can keep rent high. Anyone who thinks brining in a million people during a crisis, needs their head examined. Trudeau posted a pathetic apology video on his horrible decisions. The comments on it are telling and the best part.

I bet there's a part in his mind got triggered by this, like something was off... and got relieved when nothing was off after all.

Best part:\nThe border is closing!?

I do think it's worth pointing out that the cheap labour reduces incentives for companies to invest in increasing productivity. I think the high real estate costs might be a problem too - too much of Canada's available capital is going towards expanding housing supply and not enough on better technology - software, equipment, etc. I think part of the stagnant productivity has been due to lack of investment in technology, rather than laziness of workers. It's also worth pointing out that a lot of the workforce has been in government, which has been spending more and more money while not having much to show for it, so productivity in the government is another issue too. Bureaucracy and red tape can also be detrimental to productivity in both governments and the private sector. Maybe Canada needs more competitiveness (ex with telecommunications). Lack of training could be an other obstacle to productivity, or for example... not speaking English properly. Sometimes when I get customer service with an Indian, I have to make him repeat 5 times because of his extremely thick accent. He might not be lazy and trying his best, but still not very productive. \n\nWith slavery in the US, the South has been rather inefficient with their labour because slaves were relatively cheap (still had to feed and house them). With the end of slavery, came a big increase in worker productivity.\nhttps://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w31758/w31758.pdf

18:31 I don't think it's so much about being less accepting, it's just that if they live in a small town, there won't be as many fellow immigrants from their ethnic group. Just look at Toronto for example. The Chinese don't move to Brampton, and the Egyptians don't move to Unionville. To a large extent, they move to the parts of the GTA where their own immigrant group lives. Same reason that a Sikh doesn't move to Chinatown is why the Sikh doesn't move to Owen Sound or Kapuskasing - they prefer to be near their own community, especially if they're recent immigrants that haven't integrated that well into the Canadian culture.

The Canadian system took advantage of many young people.Its a Canadian value to be fair but it was bad management on the Liberals part and abuse of temporary forgein workers. The university system in this country is broken and I don't trust the degrees handed out .

The entire Immigration System got screwed up somewhere, due to Government Ministers who had or have NO clue what the job entailed.\nI came to Canada in mid 1970s from ENGLAND. I was not allowed into Canada, unless I could prove that I could READ, WRITE, and \nSPEAK ENGLISH (many will attest to this) I had to prove that I was EDUCATED enough, to be able to be employed. I had to have \nenough money so NOT to have to access government funds. Please think about this! Today, it is much different to get to Canada.\nI guess ILLEGAL immigration is now, part of the Canadian problem.

3:31 BBC hiding the full poster there to seeve its narrative. The left part of the poster has a picture of a AK-47 next to Nijjar. But then it'll be harder to call him a peaceful plumber if you showed that BBC?

The colleges are a major part of the problem. Way too easy to get accepted into a college in Canada. Some of the students dont even know how to use a computer. The colleges only care about collecting those high tuition fees.

Feels like we are overlooking the fact that Russia invaded Ukraine and Canada approved over a million asylum seekers fleeing the war. I am only 7 mins in, but seems like a huge part of the equation especially given the Youtubers sound like they natively came from that region of the world.

These ladies are reporting their feelings and assumptions like they're fact. Please don't believe these ladies. I heard conspiracy theories have gone crazy in Quebec and I bet these two women are part of it. We know they're from Quebec because of the accent

Thanks ladies. I have a person from Serbia who I hired many years ago. He is a professional and one of the best people I have ever employed. He h& his wife understood what it took to come to Canada. There was no easy path for them but they perserveered. They both have succeeded & are a great part of Canada now.

Hmmm why why why the Powerful New India the self prclaimed South Aisan super power (lol), find their citizens can't live in Modiland. \n\nOh yes I forgot because its a shit hole in most parts that only the super rich of Bollywood can afford. ?

It is interesting that news don’t mention the part of the letter that outlines the drug problem in two sections: trafficking and demand. Trafficking is financed and facilitated by the demand and the weapons trafficking… that are a US responsibility. Each country should take care of their end on these problems. Nobody is talking about how drugs make their way to schools, parks, streets, bars and so many other places in the US…

Too many Indians & everyone is getting sick and tired of it. Unlike the immigrants in the US, most having little education or exposure come here and do the same uncivilized shit they're used to doing back home. The sad part is that I'm also brown so everyone stereotypes me as Indian. This place is a joke bro!

Canada practises a dubious standard when hiring.new applicants to various professions, highly qualified and with the necessary requirements stipulated by the Federal Government of CANADA to the skilled labour migration category, such individuals land in Canada with their own reserves. Keeps seeking for employment depleting their own funds and are unable to find employment for months , and then not even. called for interviews at all , are totally ignored despite forwarding more than 100 resumes gazing at the computer screen for more than eigj6 hours. Browsing through the net for job opportunities, confined to a small room at high costs, finally if and when they are been called for one or two interviews at most despite forwarding more than 100 resumes, at the interviews they will be offered lower than the minimum wage for parttime workers. What a crime\n Here I am talking about fully qualified and experienced, as well as fluent English Speakers, actually better English skills than both of you here presenting this program. What a scam, first they say that English fluency is essential has introduced different Examination to assess the English fluency standard.. it is a big scam...while Canada has favoured immigrants from certain parts of the globe. As you say here. It is height of cheek of Canadian Authorities to offer lower wages , lower than the minimum wage stipulated by the labour laws, also as you emphasise here, high living standard's, High paying jobs, high Health standards. What nonsense.\nEven the PR Holders are not provided with the Dental and Eye care Insurance, they are provided with only the basic general health care benefits, furthermore after depleting their finds to gain qualifications to be eligible for the federal Government skilled labour program. they are unable to find employment after complying with all the requirements and regulations stipulated by the Government, they arw highly qualified. Highly experienced and highly fluent in English, the Government has not initiated a mechanism to absrb all such migrants.. and has the nerve to expect all such migrants to be hired\nUnder very low wage schemes. Whereas their job designations are entitled to a high wage category stipulated by the labour rules.\nAs you both emphasise here all from poorer nations or Asian or South East Asia are.not paupers nor uneducated, unskilled individuals who migrate to Canada in different fraudulent and corrupted ways while some of you learn and improve your communication skills after landing in Canafa and then learn English and then preach on UTube about the high living standards and quality of life in Canada unlike some of you who tries to emphasise here on UTube that migrants are trying to seek employment without having the basic qualifications nor the basic fluency in English. And you have the nerve to say, you don't belong here.\nMind you, they are there , through legitimate Government programmes which has subjected them into high assessment of their credentials as well as assessment of fluency in English. After complying with all the stipulated Government regulations, still such individuals are not been called for interviews, finally after wasting months and.months depleting their own funds, they are offered salaries way below the standard wage scales stipulated by labour rules for certain job categories. Some still accept such offers as they need to get Canadian job experience in order to be even eligible to apply for certain job categories, all though they have enough and more experience in their home countries to prove their capability \nAlso, the Job interviewers pose very advanced technical questions which they themselves do not understand or have no clue about what they are asking, or they do not use such high technical advanced methods in their specifics job caregories available. All these gimmicks are being utilised to discourage the applicants and to force the genuine Credential Holders who could definitely contribute to boost the Economy in a fruitful manner to leave the country and to force them to get back into their home countrues. In that case why did the Federal Governments of Canada created a delusion to migrants from around the globe stating that there is an acute labour shortage in certain high demanding job categories, encouraging all such applicants to apply through the Skilled labour Program introduced by the Federal Government of Canada,. as if there are shiploads of opportunities available just for geabs.\nSuch individuals are driven to state of utter despair or forced to get back to their home countries whereas here the federal Government of Canada is granting Asylum to all sorts of unskilled , uneducated and sometimes no literacy nor basic communication skills in English at all at the expense of the taxes and high tuition fees acquired from the student population as well as PR Holders who has incurred massive expenditure through the federal Government's detailed and tough assessment procedures just to gain entry under the stipulated visa categories. Whilst all such individuals who has made a genuine effort by using their own reserves and during their stay pay high consumer taxes and high rent are being denied to gain employment but certain uneducated hooligans and certain communities are allowed to enter Canada Scot free as Asylum Seekers through the IRCC refugee and immigration act and Asylum Seeker Act.\nHow unfair and unrealistic...\nWhen you present such videos be aware of your content as not only the Canadians are contributing to the Federal Governments tax schemes. It is virtually every individual who come over to Canada seeking Greener Pastures, be it Temporary Visitors, Tourists, student population from around the globe,.Migrants under different visa caregories introduced by the federal Government of Canada itself , all such people contribute to the federal governments reserves in direct and indirect ways. So, it is very unfair to say that individuals who are from poorer nations are willing to undergo harsh living conditions in basements within Canada. And they grab the job opportunities of the Canadians. Wrong again. , as the Canadians do not accept job offers which does not include the specifics wage packages stipulated by labour laws to their designated job categories ,, the federal Government has found a crude way to fulfil their labour market through these new migrants for lower salary scales as well as utilising the student population to fill the shortages for parttime and temporary job categories where the employer can get away by paying minimum wage and hire and fire as they wish.\nWhat a cruel system...Get the facts straight before you present such videos.....

Main Insights and Conclusions from the Video\n\nEconomic Challenges and Public Sentiment:\n\nInflation and housing costs have risen sharply, impacting Canadians' quality of life.\nFood bank usage has doubled, and homeownership rates have declined significantly.\nYounger Canadians find homeownership increasingly unattainable, fueling frustration.\nPublic sentiment has turned against immigration for the first time in decades, with over 60% of Canadians believing the country is taking in too many immigrants.\n\nImmigration Policies and Impacts:\n\nCanada experienced record immigration levels in recent years, with 471,000 permanent residents admitted in 2023 and a population growth of 1 million annually due to other immigration streams (e.g., international students and temporary workers).\nImmigration was used as a tool to address labor shortages and generate economic stimulus post-pandemic, but it led to unforeseen consequences like overburdened infrastructure, rising housing costs, and strain on public services.\nConcerns about integration and cultural tensions arose due to the rapid pace and scale of immigration.\n\nEconomic Consequences:\n\nDespite immigration filling labor gaps, Canada’s productivity declined for the third consecutive year, revealing deeper systemic issues like underinvestment in technology, outdated infrastructure, and stagnant wages.\nPublic services, such as healthcare, struggled to meet the increased demand, leading to longer wait times and staff burnout.\n\nImmigration Reforms in 2024\n\nThe federal government introduced significant reforms:\n\nA 20% reduction in permanent resident admissions over three years.\nCaps on temporary foreign workers and international student permits.\nPost-graduate work permit (PGWP) eligibility tied to labor market needs and stricter language requirements.\nWage caps for low-wage temporary foreign workers and adjustments to immigration programs at the provincial level.\nThese measures aim to manage population growth, alleviate pressure on housing and public services, and improve the quality of immigrants to align with labor market needs.\n\nCritiques and Trade-offs:\n\nWhile the reforms may ease strain on infrastructure and align with public sentiment, critics argue they could exacerbate labor shortages in critical sectors like healthcare, construction, and agriculture.\nThe underlying economic issues, such as low productivity, outdated zoning laws, and inadequate infrastructure, remain unaddressed.\nReducing immigration without broader systemic reforms may hinder economic growth in the long term.\n\nSocial Dynamics and Public Trust:\n\nThe reforms are seen as an attempt to rebuild public trust in the government amid declining approval ratings.\nCritics worry these policies are politically motivated rather than aimed at long-term solutions.\nRising public dissatisfaction stems from perceptions of unequal treatment between immigrants and native Canadians, along with growing social tensions.\n\nRecommendations for Future Actions:\n\nExperts suggest combining immigration reforms with investments in infrastructure, technology, and workforce training to tackle deeper systemic challenges.\nEncouraging regional immigration could alleviate urban overcrowding but requires sufficient infrastructure and resources to support newcomers in less-populated areas.\nEnhancing the quality of immigrants through stricter selection criteria and promoting cultural integration can address public concerns while maintaining economic benefits.\n\nFinal Reflections:\n\nOver-reliance on immigration as an economic solution has led to complacency and structural weaknesses.\nWhile immigration is vital for growth, it should be part of a balanced approach that includes investments in innovation and productivity improvements.\nCanada needs to rethink its strategies to remain competitive and sustainable in the long term while addressing public concerns and fostering integration.\nThe video's overarching message highlights the complexities of immigration and economic policy, emphasizing that piecemeal solutions, like reducing immigration, are insufficient without addressing broader systemic issues.

To put it simply, Canadians have swung too far to the left and have become naive and brainwashed to think that a part-time ski instructor and high school drama teacher with the last name Trudeau could make good decisions for Canada’s future. \nThat worked out as U.S. conservative pragmatists have predicted it would.

Its mostly Indians because they see the potential in our country. We have to own our shit and not blame them because we are on the streets. Immigration rate is skyrocketing. Agreed. But where are Canadians? Our populations are dwelling around different parts of the world right. So no reason to blame Indians.

Thank you for summarizing these key changes! Many problems are actually the Canadian immigration system not learning from the mistakes of the US system and now it’s suffering the same consequences. If Canada cuts down on those selected immigrations but still takes in refugees, it’s only going to make anti-immigrant sentiment worse. Selected immigrants are allowed into Canada to help alleviate Canadian issues…or at least people who come through Express Entry are less likely to become a burden. On the other hand, refugees, given their unfortunate circumstances, really need to rely on a lot of social services and resources to help them resettle. The US has eliminated pretty much all non-humanitarian immigration that’s why immigrants are so demonized there. Americans only feel the drags of refugees and asylum seekers (even though ethically we need to protect them) and there is no selected immigration to balance that out. Yet this round of Canadian policy change is heading exactly that direction.\n\nIt used to be international students in Canada are not paying a lot more tuition than Canadian students. But Canadian universities saw how much money universities in the US are making so they asked the federal government to change the policy to enable them to charge international students several times the regular tuition (whereas in countries like France, international students actually pay less than citizens). So now Canadian universities rely too much on international students to operate and it becomes an exploitative relationship even before students step foot on the campus. The new PGWP eligibility is awful because students can make contributions in every field. It might (and that's a big if) address the pressing problems, but it won't help Canada grow.\n\nI thought the new language requirement was interesting. Some Canadians who immigrated decades ago when the bar was really low still speak English poorly and now they are saying people can’t come to Canada because their language skills are not sufficient. Another point about language is if you apply through Express Entry now, even if you scored the highest language score, given how competitive the pool is, you still won’t get selected. So it’s a given that you need to be fluent in one of the languages at least to get an invitation. Express Entry also selects only the top people, I saw the head of The Institute for Canadian Citizenship in interviews talking about those top-tier people only expect the best treatment/lifestyle when they come to Canada. That's why many of them leave after seeing these Canadian problems play out. But I believe a good Canadian life is not about living in a high rise in Vancouver and Toronto, driving an expensive car, or buying luxury items...it's about the communities, nature and middle-class comfort. So the system is giving PRs to the wrong kind of people (just like mismatched people when hiring that don't align with company values).\n\nThis brings me to the last frustrating issue. There were so many people who attended “fake” universities and bought “fake” jobs to earn points to get an Express Entry invitation. And it's clear that the government wasn't proactively catching these abuses. They are taking up spots from those who try to earn the points fair and square. If I understand correctly, Canada doesn’t send these people away if they are found out (since some of them were scammed). So they still take up immigration quotas.\n\nI have wanted to move to Canada for a long time. I have visited Canada many times, hiking trails through the coastline and fjords, climbing mountains and glaciers. I lived in Montreal for two months to improve my French and I was told by my homestay family that I was the first student they had who didn’t complain about the cold (I wish the winter never ends so I can skate or xc ski in the parks year-round). I have probably seen more Canada than many Canadians and I love every bit of it. But the opportunity for me to even get a shot to move there is pretty much nonexistent now. If only there was a way for the system to allow people who really care about Canada to get a shot at being part of this beautiful country.\n\nThank you for making these videos.

I am an Indian, came here for ML research. Was unpleasantly surprised to witness so many unskilled Indians ruining the country. Uneducated, can't speak English, rude, unkempt. Like I love my country but I also love the country I immigrated to. I know tons of Indian friends like me who feel the same way. We all feel like we scammed ourselves into coming here. Every doordash and uber guy in Toronto is an Indian guy, who probably came here through a diploma mill. Why did Canada let this happen? Weirdly enough, even now, it's easier to get into Canada as a Khalistani terrorist or an LMIA abuser with a fake IELTS score and fake college admission letter than honest Indians who come here for higher education at good schools. Anyone reading this and from India, just go to the US man. At least despite the H1B lottery they respect your time more than Canada and you earn way more in 2-3 years than you would here in 6 years.\n\nPs : I singled out Indians since I am one but Palestinian refugees with their never ending incessant virtue signalling marches, Ukrainians with their virtue signalling marches and destruction of property, middle eastern refugees etc are all part of the problem. It's like they came here to bring their problems with them.

Other problem is that a lot of people try to get a work in the service area, instead of help the growth of the primary and secondary sector, things that truly produce growth of a country. \n \nOther thing, the frame of the debate most not to be only in order of unskilled and skilled workers. ''Must to be in order of people who need for specific occupations in order of the demand work-force', EEUU have a lot of skilled workers and they don’t have a job. Sell a fake promise to the skilled workers of other part of the world is not correct.\n\nA lot of skilled worked come to Canada each year, and everybody can see them working in a McDonald or washing dishes in restaurants.

In the more than 80 applications and several interviews I underwent to land my 1st job in Canada, I started to notice something: I was primarily being contacted by people who had migrated to Canada at some point in their lives. Although I saw this as an act of solidarity, it also made me question why I hadn’t been contacted by more Canadian-raised hiring managers and recruiters. Today, I think I may have at least a part of the answer.\nAfter a few months surrounded by co-workers who recently migrated to Canada, and interacting mainly with Canadian customers, the colliding of cultures has become evident to me. Letting a person finish their sentence before jumping to give a solution, asking “may I?” before taking an article off someone’s hands, and true active listening, all these things go a long a way in building relationships. Doing the opposite causes friction and even arguments where customers explicitly say: “Please don’t talk over me, listen to me first.”\nPutting myself in the shoes of a hiring manager who is culturally Canadian, knowing that Canadians are very risk averse and kept to themselves: Why would I stir the pot in the workplace by bringing in a foreign worker who may have internalized habits that are seen as rude and abrupt?\nIt’s not only about English skills, degrees, who does things faster, etc., but cultural awareness. If you don’t take the time to learn about the culture of the place you are migrating to and/or expect that locals welcome habits that could be perceived as rude and shocking to most Canadians, you are going to limit your network to only people in your cultural group - which will definitely hinder opportunities for growth. Don’t make the mistake of assuming that everybody thinks and acts the same as you do.

yes homelessness and \\all the handouts are bad at least where i live and work as a security Guard in the lowermnainland of British columbia I barely make it and the homeless people seem to have more rights and in some cases have moer money then I do working as security . as for the racism I cant speak of that living on the west coast I have had the rascist card thrown at me many times for just eplaing to a person tha tthey are on prvate property and need to leave or the biggest time was I was working at a UBC football game and a black peron was on a part of the football feild where knowone should be with out p[roper ID so I walked over and this person started to freak out calling me a racist becsaue I asked for his ID he then shows me his superbowl ring telling me that gives him pecial priliedges whiuc hit doesnt I was alway calm speaking with him and plite as he was spitting at me trying to cause more attetnion then needed . at the end of the game his friend who also had a ring and him were together as he was pointing at me calling me a racist but his friend said the only racist thign he seen was him calling me a racist . I could have had him cuffed and removed put in jail for manyu thigns but I didnt . many people screeam racism and like I said it isnt that common accept people calling me a rqcist for just doing my job and they dont like it when told they need to leave or cannot do something on prvate property ith out permission. \n that hiring part think is totally wrong all my life I have had issues being hired as a Canadian born here but other people from other countries are brought in trained and schooled her and are hired before I am .\nalso yes housing is crazy xpensive this falls on the goevernment letting people from other countrys buy up all the lands then build a few homes then hold on to them makign the market prices climb and now with all the crazy imagration and many of those imagreants pretty much going to colledge and university for dirt cheap or free and also given home also droive up the prices.\nour healt hsystem is probably one of the best in the world the reason why our txes are so high is becasue of the health system and the reason why we seem to be short on doctors is becasue imagrants and other people running to the emergency for runny noses and also bring in there whole famil;y of brothers sisters cousins doesnt help backing up the system but als othe ageing poulations that needs to be in hospitals.

Your guest, as are most republicans is so uneducated as to the irreplaceable part migrants play in America’s agricultural industry it’s disgusting. Read a report you nut job.

You know what to say part American citelevision with all of this laugh wing? Democrat mainstream knew now they wantna talk about the problem. But it couple of years you're talking about all the people who walk over the border and took advantage of a 4 hour American cat money. So see it in and MSNBC. What took so damn long?To have this conversation

Someone should let them know that so called better life is not waiting for them in Canada at least. We have plenty of our own political tensions, we're taxed to death, probably have the worst health care system in the world, extremely high cost of living, everything is expensive, the only jobs available are part time, crappy overpriced food, a housing crisis and brutal winters every single year.. Nothing but pissed off, miserable people here. Many Canadians I know have moved to India and love it. Come if you like but I bet you'll wish you hadn't, especially when Trudeau won't let you go back, not with your money anyway.

USA GO BACK TO PRIMARY SCHOOL AND LEARN PROPER GEOGRAPHY PROPERLY MEXICO IS PART OF NORTH AMERICA, NOT CENTRAL AMERICA HEEEEEELLO!!!?‍♀️?‍♀️?‍♀️?️‍?????

Please stay out of the United States. We are not able to care for more people. Your culture does not assimilate well. Your people are for the most part rude and disrespectful. We want our culture to remain.
