I wanna live here. I just can't afford to. I'm 38 and live with my mum, which is also due to my health but i have lived alone many times. my whole disability cheque would not cover a one bedroom and it's very hard to find a studio, they're all taken. Trudeau isn't the problem. he's a symptom. these problems are happening all over the world. the corporations are grinding people to dust in every country, so that we can log forests and fill landfills, medicate people so they can be Functional enough to create value for a company. any Canada is great, but it, and the world as a whole, at the moment, kid of suck.

No one has a right to land. You are either strong enough to defend it or it’s taken away.

Please protect your country i think within next 60 years all of the british invaded countries will be taken by asians and indians.. then white people becomes a minority... is this karma or stupidity

When was this taken?

humans are in constant role playing only a hand full of white europeans had taken over our country india for almost 250yrs, drained its resources and threw its population in migration tailspin and now they are crying to adaptation

so you mean to say in 1000 words that Sikhs were taken as slaves like a Britisher got people from Africa as slaves in the United States is that what you want to say?

The root cause of many societal issues is often greed. For example, lax immigration laws can lead to increased tax revenue for the government. Landlords exploit the housing market by overcharging tenants, while some homeowners resist new developments in their neighborhoods to maintain the value of their properties. When greed is prioritized, everyone loses. The government should act to support the people and set a positive example.\n\nTo address the cost of living and soaring housing prices, policymakers should consider revising immigration policies, implementing rental rate controls to curb excessive landlord greed, and streamlining processes to build more affordable housing. Additionally, subsidies could be used to encourage new construction.\n\nThere's also concern about money laundering through real estate investments by foreign actors, with little action taken by the government to tackle this issue. The carbon tax, intended to address environmental concerns, is ineffective, unnecessary, and nothing short of a cash grab by the Liberal Govt.\n\nIt's crucial for the government to recognize these problems and take steps to resolve them, but that won't happen with Trudeau in power. By fostering a fairer and more just society, we can work towards a more equitable future for everyone. Until then, welcome to Commusocialtatorship Canada.

The next elections is in 2025, I hope the conservatives win, corruption has taken over my countries government, just writing this might pose me a risk. \nWho truly knows anymore, oh Canada how I hope you’re glorious once more.

Canada is being taken over by rich outsiders. Same as what happened to the UK.

Yes, I agree wholeheartedly with his answer because the Gaza Strip and the West Bank are rightfully the sole property of the Palestinians and no one else, Isreali or other Arabs etc. has no right to determine where Palestinians may live.\n\nHowever, even even if I am in favor of both self-determination and autonomy for Palestinians, it doesn't mean I am a not a supporter of Isreal's right to exist thus, defend itself.\n\nIsreal has every right to both exist and defend itself against Hamas, Hezbolah, Al-Qeda or any other Arab terrorists organization or Arab state as well as especially Iran, that may wish or has declared its intent to wipe Isreal from the face of the world.\n\nAs for Arab states like Saudi Arabia, the Gulf States or any Muslim dominated state in the Mideast or northern Africa taking in refugees is concerned.\n\nThe short answer is that none of these states will take in refugees by the fact that these states failed to take in refugees from recent war zones like Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria or Libya in any great and significant numbers.\n\nRecent conflicts in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan saw the West come to the aid of these refugees before any Muslim led country.\n\nIf a Muslim country like Turkey took in refugees, it had to be paid by the West to take in refugees from Syria, Afghanistanand Iraq...in the past Lebanon and Jordan likewise have only taken in limited amounts of Palestinians and these refugees are still stuck in refugee camps in Lebanon and Jordan eventhough it's been decades that they were forced to settle in these two countries.\n\nSo, don't worry asking if the Arab or Muslim led world takes in refugees because the short answer is they don't in significant numbers and if they do, they begrudgingly do so and in a marginalize fashion.

Have they taken their vaccine ?

Interesting video, lots of Indians or people of Indian orgin are also leaving Brampton. They also state it's too expensive. 30% as per news of late are moving back to country of orgin. On the idea of adopting culture, did eurpeans adopt culture of Natives, where are the Natives, to which land did they go to? The culture of those who created residential schools what culture of values is that culture? Was it not that Natives of this land forced off the land, forced into schools taken away from the parents? What happened to treaty rights? We were welcomed here. We did not invade. We did not force our culture on to others. True many immigrants have come is this the fault of those who choose to have pets and no babies? is it the fault of governments promoting smaller house holds in which no parents live with the childern to help raise grandchildren due to expences. It was the coroporations that made the split of family here. This is also causing Indians of older generations to leave the parents, to live a free lifestyle. who will rasie the children? and who will help the parents when they are too old? 100 years back Christians had the same culture of Indians. Parents, grandparents and babis lived in the same household helping one another. Less cars, less insurance, spliting the costs, no baby sitting fees, no old age homes. Know even in India adopting the west coroporate culture have old folks homes. The media and TV in bed with coroporations have made people selfish that they will not stay together. Indians are in the same postion as whites. The older gen is left to fend for them selves, in the coming gen who will baby sit the kids, they to will get pets, it will be too expensive for them to have kids.

It’s crazy that a country with a population of around 38 million people has taken in 3 million immigrants and continues to take in millions of students and people on work visas.

28-year-old Female Sydneysider from Australia here. Apologise in advance for the long post and rambling.\n\n\nNot sure if it is just me, so please correct me if I am wrong. Just probably now too overly 'realistically too cynical'. So please take my input with a grain of salt. 

For context’ sake, for most of my adulthood I have always been poor & I am born with special health needs (E.g. disabilities).
\n\n\nSometimes on forums we are often contrasted to Canada, for some reason. Both Canada and Australia have remarkably similar problems with a different coat of paint. Sydney, for instance, has always been high up in the list of the cities with the highest cost of living in the world. Usually within the top 10-20. 

COVID-19 obviously made this issue clearer in some circumstances because we couldn't 'work' at all. Unless you were an essential service worker, to mentally block out personal and local difficulties.\n\n\nWe still have not recovered from that 2–3 years global shutdown. The only reason I was allowed to work for a period was because I work for the animal industry and aid in animal welfare. 

I still lost my job due to COVID-19 regardless and knew I would never get a decent job again. Merely just the last poor sod on the boat to be thrown off. 

Could not become a vet nurse despite working very hard. Just because no one wants to give me '2-years permanent paid experience’ to be taken seriously. 

At the same time, way too many employers will happily take 2+ years of veterinary students volunteering at their vet clinic. With the vague promise of a permanent job.

Which, of course, never happens, then say we are being too demanding or spoilt for politely asking for said job.\n\n\nHow are we supposed to pay off our student debt if any financial service expects us to have a per meant job to pay anything off??

 No, they do not want to train nor help you. They just want free labour, then kick you out once your time is up. All my jobs have been casual, and my animal industry has already become heavily casual based ages ago. Permanent job is like looking for a magical unicorn.\n\n\nSo, even if you and your relatives lived in the way outer suburbs of Sydney for decades, being typically considered roughly lower-middle socio-economic families. 

The younger adults and kids all know and have been aware for years, they have no future at all due to having an inflated cost of living. Sugar-coating it, saying it might go in a positive direction, sounds like a blatant lie. We all know it is a lie.\n\n\nNowadays, in contrast to the late nineties and early 2000s when I was just a tiny naive kid that didn't know any better. There seems to be a more jarring split between the income brackets of what the country assumes who is poor, middle class or rich today. 

\n\nBy today's standards, my family is no longer even considered close to the very lower end of the middle class if you were reaching hard. We are considered 'poor' just because my parents do not earn roughly $50,000 — $150,000 AUD a year on their own in 2023. When I worked, I usually earned $30,000-$35,000 AUD or less per year before COVID-19 happened.\n\n\n(Source — https://www.news.com.au/finance/money/wealth/middle-class-aussies-were-living-better-in-the-early-2000s-than-they-are-today/news-story/fe173db5bbe2b705a8d05df8c5cb14ee)\n\n\nLife is only comfortable living there if you're a selfish landlord, a nepo baby, new money or old money.\n\n\nI feel like most governments and other systems are only strictly being run by sociopathic narcissists that only want us to stay poor to remain in poor conditions to benefit off of. Wouldn’t want any kid to be born in a world where there are no safe guarantees for their future if their guardian unexpectedly passes away or can longer care for them. 

When something does not change within roughly 5–10 years, it is more than simply just valid for us to feel like we cannot fix what has been broken.

This guy is committing a hate offence punishable by UK law, he should be taken to jail

And of course you have the same outlook for Israel as well, Right? Humor me and tell me quickly what your response would be if someone started throwing rockets at your homeland? Would you respond with open doors or would you try to serve and protect your people? These narratives of not letting in supplies and help is false narrative and the more caution that's taken to protect people the more they cower behind them! That sounds like a no to me as far as taking in refugees! Correct?

If what he says is true...that the Palestinians want to live in peace and security...why have they taken billions in aide for decades and built a war tunnel system and bought armaments on the Black Market? Why have they refused International STATE status?\nBecause it makes them RESPONSIBLE.\nWhy did they attack Israel and run to hide behind children?\nWhy did they parade a murdered raped young German citizen through their streets?\n........crickets...........

There is a reason the other Arab countries have taken in no Palestinians.

Smh… Some peeps gotta talk apples when I’m talking oranges…as their rebuttal doesn’t quite respond in proper context to my statement. So let me be clear: the Aboriginal People have absolutely every single right to be disgruntled and complain if any nation is to do so especially after having been swindled and bamboozled out of their land and space and way of life. This is why if any nation/ group is expected to raise up and fuss and complain it’s the Natives/Indigenous People. The circumstances are not even remotely near the same here with Canadians today versus what the Aboriginals went through pre-European Canada. We don’t even need to go there. Naturally, any one particular group that occupies a certain space and then has said space slowly taken over by another group/nation will be displeased to say the least and it is their right to complain. Truly no one nation or group can occupy any land or space forever as no one truly owns the land to begin with. Who’s disputing that?? So why even complain at all over something we don’t even truly own, even though we have somewhat of a right to do so?? The world is gradually becoming more of a melting pot of different races of people. And needless to state, Canada is a country of many nations and it would be very unbecoming of any minority immigrant to be here and be racist towards and complain about the other ethnicities/minorities here. Hence what triggered my comment in the first place. Immigrants wanna boldly come here and change things to suit them. This is Canada! And that’s not how things work here. Why come to my home and then complain about the occupants? Just go back where you came from. Period!

Trash thrown everywhere. Driving laws completely broken. Fireworks going off till 4am and the trash left in the parks and fields all over from their celebrations. Million dollar homes going up but only for renting out every room in the house with people that don't care of the landscape and keeping the area clean. Crime is up multiple times over than it's ever been. Jobs are being taken over with poor service being paid cheaper wages or under the table avoiding the taxes. Driving without a license or paying insurance. Fake licenses, fake IDs. Oh yes it's all happening and happening so fast. This is being spread even towards the north now hitting all the small towns with their real estate signs being planted in just about every corner you can drive to.

The dilemma: how do you take the village out of the people after you've taken the people out of the village ?

Canada has become a system of taxes upon taxes. They continuously extract maximum 'value' out of every middle class citizen, hand our money out to the people they are making poor and sick. Canada is truely sick right now, taken over by the elite class. We will slowly devolve into a modern age wage slave nation

Yes, London had fallen! The Islamists had been emboldened - by none other than the BBC and other British media who had taken leave of their common sense and right and wrong. Let those dump UK people who support Muslim behaviors, Muslim immigration - suffer from their own inflicted wounds. Checked.

I notice she never asks,What can I do for this country that has taken me in and given me everything for free.

Dont like our laws then f@ck off back home and live by your laws we gave you an inch and you've taken a mile.

NAME ON COUNTRY WHERE MUSLIMS ARE HAPPY \nWho ever want to come reside to other country which they dont origin from must not be allow any public disply of their culture, tradition or prayers, it must be done indoors in thier homes, no religious school other than the country must be allowed, outsiders must completly live with the culture and tradition of the country they are living in what ever else must be performd inside their own homes, they can teach their kids their religion indoors no school or any other temples, masjids or church allows other then the country's orignal beliefs if they love thier culture religion they have their choices of lands where they can migrate to, bbut they like our lands, women, weather, money, they come to our lands and impose their things must not be allowed, this must the the visa policy, who they are must remain indoor where they live, the condition to enter must be clear that you wear how we wear, you live how we live, you can not have any public disply of your culture and tradional activities, protest, if you want to do what you can do in your country please stay where you are, First all the countries in the world come to one conclusion that outsiders residing in their land and country must adopt their culture and lifestyle, than they have no right to do any protest create unrest to the country they are residing and put the lives of those real people who the country belongs to, all those who want to support their home land must leave the country go back to their land and do it, those taken citizenship has to give up their rights citizenship if they want to be part of such protest that has nothing to do with the country they are living in, only protest allow must be for the country vs the people living in it and that also by orignal citiznes. All help support in name of human grounds must be done by appointed goverment so they are hold acocuntabble instead of finding 1000's of NGO around world, only goverment to goverment funds support must be allowed.

Not enough housing has been a problem for years and has not been taken seriously, while the feds just allowing too many immigrants into Canada; which leads to more homelessness.

None of these guys would fight for Canada if we were in a war. They all would be on the first flight out. That’s why our military has taken a step back and Canada doesn’t take a bigger role in the UN peacekeeping around the world.

Frankly speaking, am surprised this guy is sharing information which will be helpful to others and people are here asking for chats while others are saying he copied? What is wrong with Africans? Hes taken time out of his schedule to inform people on what would help them and look at ur thoughts hmmmm his info might be old to u but it will be new to somebody else. If u cnt appreciate him enough then why follow him. Aaaaaaba

I agree …. Why should the Palestinians leave their home? For it then to be taken over by Israel, which is their aim after all!

I’ve given up on Canada, but I’ve also taken my life into my own hands by leaving Canada. Canada is a place that stifles innovation and punishes those that want to have a lucrative career. \n\nI no longer proud to be Canadian, nor do I wish to associate myself with that despair-ridden place.

money laundering has improved significantly in BC, the province has implemented many changes to prevent it. also the public service vs private sector growth is taken out of context. noticed a number of other things that are wrong too. sorry

Has this been reported to the police and has any action been taken by them for his hate crime ?

Imagine if education was taken seriously.

The Liberal party has turned Canada into sh*thole. Canada was built on immigrants but the system has been completely overloaded and taken advantage of. Refugees are being housed in hotels wracking up hundreds of millions in costs. And the international student loophole has been completely abused. Before Canada would allow highly skilled / educated immigrants to esteemed universities. Now we let in double the students and most of them are in diploma mills which they get out of and end up taking up every unskilled labour position, pushing thousands of Canadians to the street and making it to where kids can’t even get summer jobs. And letting in this massive increase of immigrants has only made our housing situation even worse. We’re building half the homes than people we’re allowing in. The whole thing is a sh*t show

He has been taken into custody

This guy is obviously wasted and drunk af. Doesnt make it OK but he shouldnt be taken too serious. Just call police.

Heyyy...men...do you think this place is yours. All land is belong to Allah..anytime its will taken back by allah...this men has mentally illnesses

'This evening, we arrested a 55-year-old man on suspicion of racially aggravated public order offences.\nThis follows distressing footage shared earlier of a group of women being racially abused..\nThe man has been taken into custody.' Havering Police 21st April

Guess what they all vote liberal because they are given favor by the government.My city is not in Ontario but it has been overrun with immigrants,rents have gone way up and every where you go jobs are taken by immigrants.

It’s not just housing and health care. Every aspect of life is in crisis. It is okay if one has a government job else it’s challenging to survive in job market and we are competing with so many students. Most managers like to have these students as they have very limited knowledge about rules and regulations and can easily be taken advantage off. \n\nPeople are leaving North America due to woke culture and both Canada and USA are turning into third world countries. People are ashamed to tell that they live in North America due to lower standard of living. Time to pack up

You were stupid for trusting Muslims. They will be peaceful until their numbers increase and then use the moral code to get accepted and then eventually your country is gone to the Muslims. Remember Turkey??? 7 Christian churches gone...every Christian country has been taken over and they're coming for you too. Watch the progression

Is racism a criminal offense? The guy who is recording should be taken to the court on immediate basis and tried on criminal grounds. This is as obnoxious a human behaviour as it gets. DOWN WITH THE RECORDING GUY

Newsflash… even Edmonton Alberta has been taken over by Indians. And they have brought their gangs and organized crime here too. F Trudeau! F Freeland!

take legel action against customer.\nwhat a unsafe or poor police department of which country is not taken action against customer .\nif this type of incident happened in india then customer was in police custody.....

Diversity does not mean bringing a million people from one nation. Canadian born teens couldn't get simple jobs because all work places are completely taken over and they wont hire others anymore. This country is turning for the worst

They've also taken over the nice part of Buffalo, NY. The beautiful playing field behind my old school is now a cricket ground for the rich Indians. I guess the kids have to find somewhere else to play.

The common reasons why Brampton has so many Indians.\n1) Even in India there are 22 official languages, but unofficial 121 languages with over 700 different dialects. In Brampton, the majority are Punjabi and Gujarati. These names first come from the language they speak, later to the Indian State. Each language represents a culture. In India also everyone feels safe within their community because it is human nature to bully someone who doesn't look the same as them. So, they feel safe within the community. This new Woke culture calls it racism and hate, but I think it is a common human nature.\n2) Helping each other to settle in the same community. So, they prefer to land here first and somehow settle in. The government programs for newcomers are just a waste of taxpayers' money.\n3) Closer to the Airport and Public Transportation is not too bad.\n4) A lot of part-time work opportunities for the students and newcomers. (Not the same under Trudeau anymore)\n5) A lot of activities for parents of the immigrants because they can't learn English or Culture at this age.\n6) Indian Food and Grocery are easily available.\n\nIt was not that bad before, but the latest influx of unskilled immigrants and students with the absence of manners has taken it to an unrecoverable level.

A disgraceful human being. I hope action was taken against him.

Next question : What are the steps that Arabs have taken so far to stop the killing and blockade?
