I can't recognize my city anymore. Tim Hortons is now owned by East Indians therefore only hires them. All neighborhoods corner stores, restaurants, grocery stores etc. I feel a minority in my city

I live in Kitchener, ON and have noticed quite an influx of East Idioms here as well. I think it is one thing to have open arms to people from other countries BUT we should take care of the born and raised Canadians that now have to compete with these people for housing, not to mention employment to a certain extent.

I'm in Surrey BC and we are about 97% East Indian. Where is the diversity? It is similar in other municipalities in the lower mainland. I am definitely a foreigner in my own country.

That's why East or West, India is the best

Not a new thing. As a north-east Indian my Canadian bro we face racism in our own country so u hv the right to do so .

We in the West don’t want any any immigrants ! You guys keep them in the east ! ( I said Please) !

Check out small towns in SK and AB. \n\nMy old home town in SK went from being owned by locals, to almost exclusively owned by East Indians. \nThey now own all the fast food joints, the convenience stores, little shops, everything. \n\nYou should also educate people on the actual meaning of racism…\nIt’s the belief that your skin colour is superior to another, which doesn’t apply to the belief that immigration is too high. \n\nWe can’t afford our homes. \nOur jobs don’t pay shit. \nWe can’t afford more immigrants. \n\nThe racism card is a joke used by idiots that don’t even know what the word means.

You forgot to mention that a lot from UK are East Indians too.

White Brampton millennial resident who grew up in 99.9% white East Coast here- this video does not provide an accurate representation of the entire city. It shows a tiny sliver. Brampton’s crime levels are lower than most other GTA cities. I feel safer here as a single woman than any other city I’ve lived in. There are Indians calling back home to their families in India in the middle often the night and they often go outside so as to avoid disrupting the sleeping members of their household. This makes me feel very safe bc I know there are normal ppl out late at night and it dissuades criminals. For the population size of Brampton, the homeless population is very low. There are folks who do sit in front of that church - tho it’s not at all dangerous like you said. There is a homeless enclave hidden in the woods behind a shopping plaza too. I see almost no homeless ppl. The biggest problem about Brampton and other suburbs of the GTA is that there are many scammers. They scammed their way into buying homes with fake T4s. They scam the CRA by not claiming their rental income so they tax evade. They use all this extra money to buy more homes which they rent out and fraudulently put them under their family members names to avoid designating them as investment properties meaning they don’t have to pay capital gains tax when they sell. T

The worse part is that east Indian's purchase all the businesses and then fire the white people. My 7-11 was staffed with white and philipino, than a new east indian manager took over, he would write the staff up for every little issue than fire them and now the whole staff is east indian, they never hire any other race i dont know how they get away with it. The only thing i can do is not support there businesses because they dont support the people that were here first

I stay away with places with too many Indians. I just can’t stand the smell. I want to be with East Asian and Southeast Asian folks, they are more integrated, respectful and civilized

I moved from Brampton 10yrs ago to Belleville. My son aged 6 then came home from school and Said dad their no brown people in my class why? That tells you something, BUT now Belleville has become what I call the new bellvadash the last few yrs has tripled to where there is now a East Indian grocery store

Isn't this r*cist rhetoric? Who cares? People from the middle east and India are human too. No doubt there is whte flght.

Seen my share of truck stop washroom horror here in small city Ontario.\nYes it's related to east Asian religious hygiene.\nI'll never grab a washroom door barehanded again. \nGood grief.\nPools are for swimming in.\nNot porcelain thrones.\n\nFact check me....its not racist one bit.

Same with east york and scarborough. Most of the Shops and restaurants are indian Punjab etc. Very few Canadian restaurants and shops. Their language are on all the signs and Canadian is very seldom spoken or understood. Constant issues of politics from their homeland and protests. It's disgusting. There's a ton of illegal immigrants and immigration and rcmp are not arresting them and sending them back

I would like to provide a background to all the native Canadians who are wondering why the East Indian population is growing in Canada they are lot of education consultants back in India who market Canada as a lucrative country to immigrate brownie points for studying to get PR free healthcare free education till grade 12 so everyone is trying their best to come to Canada on a student visa.Once students come on a student visa they need to work 20 hours a week which they are legally allowed to work on international student visa so locals feel they are taking their jobs In US international students are only allowed to work on campus despite so many job opportunities.Colleges in Canada charge 4-5 times tuition which is profitable to the education industry and provincial government.Once these students Graduate they get open work permit where they can gain Canadian work experience and apply for PR and citizenship eventually.All this benefits the government and the educational institutions overall in terms of taxes and revenue..

@kata5637\n0 seconds ago\nBramgladesh.. shame how that city has evolved but same goes for most GTA cities. White IS the minority in Canada and Canada is no longer the multicultural country it use to be. It’s primarily East Asian and Asian.

The Canadian government has been selling out Canadian jobs and Canadian pride for over twenty years as an enemy against its own people. LETS WAKE UP ! As the immigrant enemy bare arms in our streets. Sickening.. Non Canadians are respected and handed life on a silver platter while TRUE NORTH CANADIANS are raped of their jobs, homes, pride and nationality and the country we have built, just like the government's did before Hitler. Corrupt and disgusting. WW2 Germany all over again. The inevitable tyranny of the corrupt muslin syndicate (IRGC) will force us to revolution and war as they disrespect us as the infidel and our country for the taking by our corrupt government, police bureaucracy and terrorist religion using our fundamentals and Trudeau Constitution (deliberately designed to destroy being CANADIAN and us used as a weapon against our country and its people. Preparation for war against the criminals ( government and it's corrupt East Indian syndicate) against the True Canadian people. My son could get a job if he was a muslin immigrant with financial support from the corrupt muslin community and our government THE TRUE NORTH CANADIANS ENEMIES

I live in a majority Punjab community that also houses a lot of people from Africa and South East Asia. It also contains a lot of drug addicts and homeless people, mostly white. What I see is non-white people who have grown up during a period of time in which a serious effort was made to destroy the family, the church, patriotism etc. Conservative values essentially. On the other side is a group that has largely maintained their religion, social norms, work ethic etc. and is OBVIOUSLY so much better off, so much more productive and happier. There is a real lesson to be learned here if we have the wisdom to see it. Btw, I am white and I really enjoy living here but it is not hard to see that things could become very difficult if there were, for example, a major rise in unemployment.

Caledon is changing fast too . 32000 sqft temple coming to caledon east.

Being from Northern Ontario our city busses have 8/10 east Indians. Being a first nation I felt like a majority. Now I feel like a minority.

It's not just Brampton phone a government agency most people who answer the phone are from India or that area and can't even speak English stop immigration from India and the middle East and start immigrating from Europe only before Canada is no longer at all white or Caucasian Alberta is the same there's Edmonton who is mostly controlled by Pakistani in India British Columbia's being bought by the Chinese it's ridiculous there is no real Canadians left except the people who work everyday just to feed their families in construction farming and the oilfield we need to away the country handles immigrants there's no integration I think it's a shame when you go walking around any city in the country and most of the people are talking some foreign language and not English

The problem is theyve come, settled and not amalgamated. My kids school, its spot the white person. Sure some are nice, but they're shysters. This is not racists, this is me watching the last 20+ years. East Indians really have lowered the standards in Canada. No joke. They abuse the system and its part of why its a mess that it is. Even the Asians dislike them. Plus also they stink.

Brampton in the east, Surrey in the west. Left and right armpits of Canadastan.\nThanks for such dirgrace Justinder TURDolf ?

I live in Nova Scotia, I stopped at a Tim Hortons, on a First Nations reservation, in the middle of nowhere and all East Indian workers. I was like where are you all living? How did you get here ? WTF

Also, there are times when I walk in the mall or if I go to Walmart and I am literally like the only white person in the store. Absolutely crazy. It’s a complete take over and something needs to be done about this art immigration. System is crap and broken. In Surrey BC it is full of east Indians and the gangs are nuts. There’s always shootings in broad daylight. Of course the politicians don’t do anything about that and the police are useless.

I don’t like it. This country isn’t really multicultural. It just consists of mostly rich, wealthy Asians, and a ton of east Indians, who contribute nothing to this country, other than taking up low, paying low skilled jobs. I’ve also worked at jobs were none of them spoke English, so yeah that’s obviously a safety issue. And they also don’t immerse themselves in integrate themselves with Canadians. I can go on and on and on about this, so yes, a conclusion is there is obviously a problem in this country.

Nothing wrong with East Indian but that massive idol has to be torn down, they can have that in the buildings but this is canada. Agenda 2030 you’ll own nothing and be happy

The mainland Indian did the same to North east indian

Too many East Indians

I met my daughter last week for lunch at what was once our favourite Italian restaurant here in Newmarket. The food was not as good as it once was. Then, I noticed the music playing in the background was a little off for an Italian restaurant. Had a chance to see in the kitchen all east-Indians. I asked the young girl serving us about a change in ownership. Sure enough new owners. The loss of a great restaurant has been there for years.

Not just Brampton, but Scarborough, On as well. Grew up in North East Scarborough, I've watched it fall into descent. I feel like a foreigner as an Indian Canadian, imagine the irony of that statement. Most of these south asians that come here are pompous, cocky and act like they own the place. They look down on the locals and treat this country like their personal clubhouse.

Pick anywhere in Canada, the company I work for has about 200 employees, 150 are East Indian.

Brampton is done, white people cannot get jobs in there, so they had no other choice but to leave!!!!!!!Those East Indians are there to stay, and white people are discriminated!!!!!!!!!

Go to Richmond bc , Chinese. Surrey east india.

I agree about integration. And it’s not just about Indians. For example, here in Calgary almost all barbershops are run by East Africans. Whenever I try to explain something in plain English, they have a hard time understanding me. Or when they try to start a small talk but when I answer their question, they have no idea what I said. It gets super frustrating when people just can’t understand you due to their poor language skills. Am I the only immigrant who learned the language at a high enough level to function in the society BEFORE I came to the country? It’s not like there’s a war in India so they have no time to learn English before coming here.

For me personally, it's not the people themselves (one on one), I've met very nice/respectful East Indians. That being said, I learned at as very young age, I'm talking 80's, is that when they buy a business, you're as good as gone. Despite what the gov't says, ahhhh, they'll assimilate, they'll contribute to Canadian society. It's bullsh*t, they buy a business, a manufacturing facility and they replace not only white's, but also Asians and so-on with there own. I've watched what I'd refer to multi-cultural establishments get sold and only a month later be completely employed by only East Indians, it's completely racially motivated. I mean, when I was young, one of the go-to jobs for young people was at a gas station...go to any Indian owned gas station now, it's them, that's it.

Toronto looks like China and middle east. But people from India are pretty nice people

Ohhhhh Canada...our home and East Indian land.. true sabotage, by our own gov'ts hand....etc

New Brunswick, PEI, NWT, Yukon, and Nunavut combined has 17 Members of Parliament in Ottawa. India has 17 Members of Parliament in Ottawa. 100000 Germans occupied France and it was a big deal. 1.7 million East Indians currently occupying Canadian homes. Something smells funny here

Harrison .. next stop should be Surrey B.C. where I grew up over 60 years ago. The demographic has largely shifted completely from Anglo Saxon to Indian, Sikh and Muslim almost overnight. Canadian Governments have been more concerned with making Money than supporting a well established Homeland, that they've not only lost the plot, they have prostituted our Heritage as Canadians !!! Raping us of our culture and well being. I've lived in the Middle East, there is no way you would get away with going against the grain of their LAWS. They are unrelentingly and unapologetically against anything or anyone who defies their Culture. FULL STOP ! \n\n\nTrudeau is a traitor to Canada. God bless our land. ???

what a Racist Program, the people that cry about Canada, Sole it from the Native Indians,\nSo Allah replaced them with EAST INDIANS ... SEE THE IRONY???

stay in the east, you voted for the criminal, stay close to the criminal Trudeau

Drives me crazy everyday...its becoming like Bangladesh...i went to Timmins Ontario, a great northern Canadian town literally takin over by East Indians. And nobody ever talks about it....unbelievable

I would not go into the north east Calgary India Enclave for any reason -- it is a foreign country now. Chinatown (can I even call it that) is lovely, great food, nice people. I love the Italian, German, African sections and cultures in the town. But India simply takes over.

Got the same going on further north of GTA east Indians starting spread up hear barrie and further. They have the same attitude ? its frustrating they can barely speak English and they have an attitude if we can't understand what there saying..they don't seem to have any interest in fitting into Canadian culture. And want to bring there way of living here .

Sault Ste Marie has had an influx of East Indian students in the last 8 years, and now thx to Trudeau, it looks like a suburb of India. Young Saultites now have to compete for jobs without success. Go to the local KFC where all the employees are East Indian and speaking a foreign language behind the counter. This is not my hometown. I celebrate and welcome diversity but this is overkill!

Sounds like North East Calgary.

East Indians are good citizens. \nThey abide by the law, friendly, approachable\n\nIslamic Arabs however...that's a different story.

Every nationality that came too Canada became Canadian's but the east Indians think Canadian's should bow too their ways the ways they came here too escape from
