Lol she thinks she’s safe. This level of delusion must feel so blissful

It's Not enough and this was Not Fair! We came here in this country and vetted for 6 years by Immigration and all proper education requirements met. My mom worked so hard to be able to come into this Country when I was 14yrs old, there were Rules and Criteria. Now, it's all a Joke. People can come into Canada without proper oversight and Money works. As long as you have huge sums to pay, they let you in, easily, 3months you get Permanent Resident status, we worked hard for 6 years, even doesn't matter if you're a criminal from back home, they let you in, as long as you have money. No proper Vetting process! What has this Current government done to this once great country? They ruined this whole Canadian immigration dream for everyone. My family feels angry and cheated on! I worked 3 jobs since I came here young upto this day 26 years later, pay my taxes and these 'cheaters' get paid social assistance. Very Shameful Canada!

I support her sentiment. We Indians have created mess in Canada. (Speaking french doesn't make any difference) Indian mentality is the problem, Indians want to bring their way of life in Canada, shouting on the road, doing celebration in the public like they come from mental institutions. She is feeling right ! No Indians Tolerate even few foreigners we have in India. In my town there are only few whites and people tell them 'Go back to America'. Hypocrisy of Indians is highest when it comes to taking away their economy and still speak bad about West.

Feels like an episode of Mr bean?

This is exactly the problem in this country?? lady, trump wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire?. You should feel grateful with the country and its system, but not one individual who doesn’t want you in here to begin with. Let’s see if you still love him after he take your SSI away ?

She should go back to Europe, there’s too many white people in Canada. It can go both ways! She should think of how the Natives of Canada feel about the white man being in Canada who put them on reservations and the children in conversion schools.

I feel bad for that Aid when they get back to China ?? .. probably have to go to jail

This is heartbreaking. My mom is MAGA, she’s a completely different person now. She’s much harsher and says creepy paranoid things? it consumes her whole life, I feel like I’ve lost her?

I heard on my visit to Canada earlier this year for vacation the same thing, BUT you talked to Canadians who were obviously unemployed/with no skills and homeless (at least it seemed like that, my apologies if that was not the case. All immigrants should respect the local law and do not impose their culture in adopted land. I believe that Indians come to Brampton because they find their own kind of people there and feel that they will not feel any racism, mind you it happens everywhere. Racism in parts of Canada is very much there. \nI stayed in Toronto with a friend and noticed almost 99% of tenants there were chinese, and no one was speaking English. Would like you to interview there as well.

Only 3% of the population of Canada is Indian yet Canadians say they feel like they're living in India. So dumb.

It doesn't always snow in Vancouver; some years like the last 2 years we had NO snow at all. But yes, it still gets cold and sometimes icy so make sure you have a winter coat, mittens or gloves and boots. Ear muffs are used by some while others wear a warm hat and sometimes there's a hat attached to your coat so that makes it easier. Stock up on either regular table salt or you can buy a heavier type of salt especially used to sprinkle where you want the ice to melt; like your driveway. Your car will need winter tires too and the guys at any gas station can put them on for you for a reasonable price while you wait. I'd also recommend buying a heating pad for your bed....one that covers the entire bed....it's just oh so nice to turn it on to high a while before climbing in; it feels like heaven and you'll be asleep real fast. When there's 2 people in a bed they can each adjust their side to whatever the degree of heat they want. Good night.......

? lady your on the list also you that F'n blind propaganda is strong well if trump gets elected all I can say is you F'd around now you will find out I won't feel bad for you at all vote ????

She is a venomous hate-filled woman. I feel bad for her when she meets karma.

If thats how she feels she must go back to Europe

Subtle racism can feel pervasive in Germany, even in workplaces that emphasize inclusivity. Despite strong anti-discrimination laws, unspoken biases and microaggressions often impact people from diverse backgrounds, especially those who visibly differ from the majority. This can show up as exclusion from social circles, being overlooked for promotions, or facing subtle stereotypes. Real progress requires a deep commitment to inclusion, open dialogue, and structural change to create truly welcoming environments.

Awful loser ! Whats there to pride in being a Canadian ? Lol ?- Country with hopeless populace that lives off of welfare, looted and stolen wealth from Natives and a wrecked british legacy named “Canadian”. Canada is a great country but unfortunately taken over by the wrong kind, i feel sorry for the millions of Natives that were slayed.

She thinks she’s better than other people. Trump makes people like her feel better than others in a similar situation. She still still fled here and she’s angry others did it “easier”

I feel bad for canada?\nI am from India \nOur people are mess everywhere\nSorry canadian people??

F*ck me and this lady is heartless! This is a true cult at this point! My grandma came to a country legally but always taught us to have empathy…. Makes me literally feel sick!\n\nPlease people vote Harris who will support all sides rather than Trump who will only support people that give him something in return. \nIm shocked and disappointed at this point.

Wild. The last time I was in Toronto was late 2019. I've been going there since I was a toddler. People have b*tched about the cost of living for a long time, but I actually don't remember ever seeing a homeless person there or feeling unsafe walking anywhere in the city, at any time of the day or night. Perhaps my skin is thick coming from the metro US experience, or perhaps the city has, indeed, changed rapidly..... Fun fact: I remember people talking about moving from NYC to Toronto because Toronto was dirt cheap in the mid 90s...............

It is sooo pathetic that this woman would be GONE under trump, and she loves him. One word outta her mouth and she's on the Vermin Extraction Bus... or the Gene Pool Cleansing Wagon. I feel bad that she's so stooopid.

I feel people r crazy, not understanding who created this problem, Actually it's all due to wrong govt. Policies under the pressure from few corporate houses , who want cheap labour for next 10/15 years for their survival.Actually we all are immigrant at some point, our parents or grand parents moved to Canada.

Judgment will come on this planet for all you racist people for what y'all did the black people the indigenous you will pay it's going to get worse corruption is on its way and the apocalypse if you don't plan and prepare you all will suffer the world knows who the black man is but if you don't study your history you won't know the truth you will die not knowing the truth are your ancestors been lying to y'all feel sorry for a lot of people they are not ready for the big change that's going to happen in this world

Wow I can feel the love lumming for her family!! Bet she's uppity and her Mexican American sh** don't stink. No heart just as the idiot she follows.

The damage is already done, and if you live in Vancouver you know what I mean. Before it was just restricted to neighborhoods. Now entire cities/municipalities are overrrun with ethnic minorities becoming enclaves, where you don't even feel like you're in Canada anymore. In particular, the amount of Chinese and Punjabi's the Trudeau government has let in is astounding. Nobody speaks English anymore. Its insane! They've completely taken over. This has effected housing costs and availability. There is now a job shortage, a health care crisis and vehicle traffic that doesn't let up until after 8pm. Only thing left to do at this point is cancel all study and work permits and if you don't have your PR card, then you leave!

Canada immigration is a big scam. There are no decent jobs for the immigrant professionals. Feel trapped after moving to canada. You cant get jobs in the govt or semi govt companies. Only those who have connections. Private companies have no obligation of hiring immigrants. They hire or outsource as they like. They need cheap labor. This immigration is a total failure.

i feel so bad

What seems to dominate our Prime Minister’s priorities are issues like LGBTQ+ rights and sanctioning Russia—a focus that began a decade ago—while the pressing challenges facing Canadians today have taken a backseat. This failure to address the immediate concerns of Canadians has left many feeling frustrated and neglected. Rather than tackling domestic issues head-on, there’s been a greater emphasis on maintaining a positive image on the global stage. However, these cosmetic gestures do little for Canadians struggling with real problems at home.\n\nIf the Canadian economy were thriving, like those of Singapore, China, or the UAE, there would be a natural push to attract more international talent and investment. But instead, our economy is faltering, and many businesses are on the brink of collapse. This raises an important question: why do large Canadian businesses prioritize trade with China instead of focusing on strengthening the local market? It’s time to hold these businesses accountable for their choices, as well as the government, for failing to create a conducive environment for domestic growth. Addressing these structural issues and focusing on the needs of Canadians should be the priority—not seeking validation abroad.

This is the Liberal government and Marc Miller (the immigration minister that doesn’t feel police checks on immigrants from their homeland is needed) they will not do anything noticeable if anything at all. Just an election ploy

I'm esst indian born in a small northern BC town and these indian students have literally ruined places.....its a plight. None should have been let in esp that many. A lot of these people are poor backwards villagers...rapists and just lowly people who shouldn't be here. They should put a freeze on it all. Its a literal burden...disgusting. it's feeling less like canada every day.

Everyone that was struggling before, is struggling even harder Now, everyone is feeling this burn in any way, shape or form, and the cost of living in Canada is insanity. Services that were helping people, survive, are being cut and money being removed for other things. This doesn’t make sense. The basic necessities are becoming more of a problem to get and or too expensive to buy like for instance, toothpaste, deodorant…You cannot find it for under $10 for one stick of deodorant.

I guess we need an immediate pause for some years for everyone to catch up on the resources part. All the resources are over strength and mostly people feel overwhelmed.

A true Sociopath.\n“Can’t not distinguish between his lie\nAnd the truth” His lie is the truth !!!     \nIt is written: \nSociopaths are incapable of guilt or shame for their actions; they don’t feel remorse as they are only concerned with their own interests.’

One major issue which gets ignored is that the money these immigrants (specially Indian)make gets recycle back to their own home country instead of getting recycle here to improve the economy here in Canada. \nThey are sending Canadian made money back home to get invested and spent. They rather live cheaply here and scam the system to save pennies here than spend money here to help the economy. This is pure Indian mentality about feeling so happy and proud when you cheap out of stuff for example not giving tips in a restaurant even though when service charge is not added.

I came here from Africa more than 11 years ago. This is not the country i fell in love with. We have literally only brought in Indians and Chinese. Some places feel more like mumbai or shanghai than Toronto. Suddenly everyone around me is Indian. What adds insult to injury the only racism i ever experienced in Canada was from Indians. Im disgusted.

What a two faced witch, even against her own family. I wonder how that wretch would feel if she was in their shoes!

Show this to kannadigas. Show them how a non native feels when they treat us exactly the same way as this lady.

I know I shouldn't say this but every time I go to Calgary NE Costco, I feel like I was in another country. Many of them would randomly stop in a middle of moving traffic or cut into my path regardless of my existence... I feel I need to constantly dodge in order to avoid collisions. I am an immigrant too but I always observe my surroundings and try not to cause others to slow down because of me. If I need to take a break or stop, I park my cart in a non-busy spot... these should be common sense which is what the people are severely lacking in my opinion.

Now that Canadians can hardly find a cashier job thanks to Indians. Indians have not left any job or housing for anyone else. They have turned Canada into another province of India. I feel like a stranger walking the streets of my own hometown. Shame.?????

I was shocked when this lady said some of her family have been here for years yet instead of her wanting them to have the chance to become citizens she'd rather they get deported! Has she listened to Trump say round them up by any means necessary even if you have to shoot them? Does she dislike her family this much that she don't care about their lives because she feel they are illegal? I believe in following the law but some laws are wrong and need to be changed! She shows no love or empathy for her family!

Her family members should disown her. Idk how she can win them back. She is literally feeling empowered to risk their lives.

I feel bad for this woman. She’s selling her sole to a devil instead of choosing her own family. I hope none of them show up to her funeral!

He will deport her also, she is guilty from having contact with criminal, sheltering them, thats illegal with that breaking a law, means she will be deported also, if deported they will not be elligable to apply aga8n, so she stands to just go ahead and move back to mexico without the husband probably who paid her way? Yes i am bias, on a immagrant not watching how Trump works, and feel she is deserving yet others not so much, goodbye you arevnot American madem or qualified, sell out

I agree with the language issues. I've been living in Germany for 20 years and I speak German but the better you get, it's never good enough. I feel they expect me to speak it like a native speaker it accent free with no grammar mistakes. Plus, most are speaking to me in their dialect and expect me to understand everything to perfection.

Parents come to Canada to provide free babysitting and cooking services to grandchildren . If they feel lonely it’s because they are not here to make friends but to stay at home . I one case , a grandparent fell ill in Canada and was sent back to India because of inadequate health insurance to take care of himself there on his own while the grandmother was not allowed to go and continued to babysit . These grandparents often are subjected to huge indignities. Lot of comments on how India is so good and Canada so bad . That is so ridiculous. I do not see people immigrating from Canada to India . I do not understand the tale about not getting fresh vegetables . Just step into Loblaws , Zehr , Metro and see what a lie it is . I agree many ethnic stores stock stale vegetables kept in unhealthy conditions . If food doesn’t taste good it’s became no one in the household , neither the grandparents nor the parents , can cook. That is because in India much of cooking is done by servants .

TBH she looked sad and lonely, this was cute ( i felt) , could have easily won by being sweet to her and giving her a big hug. Invite her for walks and talks and dinners and she would change her perspective . Old people are really helpless and docile . I feel sympathy for them. All they just need is a good company.

Trump plans to deport those that have a green card like her. It wouldn't make a difference. I can't believe she feels safe.

I've lived here 6 years and can't wait to leave. Salaries are just enough to get by. I work full-time as an analyst and am looking for a minijob just to save money, which I already live quite modestly. It's easy to come across nasty unfriendly people, neighbors, service people, people in government agencies. I hate people staring in the most unfriendly manner or givng attitude for no reason other than they are nasty people. Don't get me wrong, there are nice people as well, but the bad experiences outweigh the good. Beauracracy is overbearing, personalities are underwhelming, the food scene is underwhelming, learning German is a big burden when you work a full-time job (and now I need a minijob too??). The country seems like it wants to diminish the human spirit and ambition. I definitely regret moving here. Many housing companies are over charging rent. I found out the company, Deutschewohnen, who owns my apartment was overcharging me by nearly double!! I had to go through a year long court procession to get them to lower it to the legal price which I won. And now they sent me a letter last month saying they are raising my rent, which is illegal and I have to go through ANOTHER court battle with them. Of course it is exhausting to try and find another apartment. Some people search up to a year. What a joke. And not to mention the dating scene. I've been single the entire 6 years and I'm quite an outgoing, friendly, loveable person. Dating Germans comes with own weird experiences and I refuse to give them a chance anymore, for my own mental health. If you're POC, it's not uncommon to come across strange sexualizations and general lack of understanding other's cultures. A couple years ago I was attacked by 8 men while walking home at night. I ended up in the hosopital and there was an investigation opened. The police asked me why they attacted me, which I didn't know since it was unprovoked. They just followed me for awhile, surrounded me and started beating me. The police said it was probably because I'm Asian. Meanwhile, I'm not even Asian!!! I'm Latino. ??‍♂This is the type of ignorance POC have to deal with in Germany. Also, I only have 1 German friend and all my other friends are immigrants (which I love) but this poses it's own frustrations because many people move here, then move away after a few years when they learn they can have a more fulfilling life elsewhere. So keeping long term day-to-day friends can be a challenge. The entire system is exhausting and there's not enough balance to bring joy to my life to want to stay. When I lived in NYC, an African American aquaintance had just moved there after living in Berlin for 8 years. She warned me not to move here because I will never feel I belong. I didn't listen. That was a big mistake. Germans can have Germany. I'll find my joy elsewhere. End of rant. haha

Old lady is right it's her country by birth and it's her choice also who can live near her or in her country. \nIndians need to imagine that if Bangladeshi take your jobs then how you will feel..you will surely protest

If she was an immigrant.. she wouldn't be voting for Trumpy but now she feels secure and selfish that she doesn't want others to have the same opportunity. What a hypocrite
