As usual the Saudis refuse to take any refugees into their vast land so the Palestinians will continue to suffer. Ridiculous!

Oh ok, so the Arab countries are worried that Hamas will infest their lands…..got it

Migration is not the problem. The problem is those military age men with those fancy degrees who are cowards and run away instead of building their country and make it strong, they rather get everything for free from Europe who also refuse to adapt to new culture and follow the law of the land and want Europeans to submit to them. Europe needs to send them to prison. Rather take good people who will benefit Europe with culture and knowledge.

They want their land back who took it?

I was watching Flight Radar. I clicked on a Random flight coming to Toronto Pearson. It was Air India, It was supposed to land just across the lake in USA. It had been diverted. I wonder if it was diverted intentionally so all of them could stay in Canada? We build 200K homes a year, we bring in more than 500K people/year. U Can't get a job, all places are hiring newcomers cuz the Gov offers them subsidies to help pay their wages. Meanwhile, Canadians end up homeless.

No one is illegal on stolen land.

The First Americans were pushed off lands and given Casinos Europeans were the first illegals acting like they didn't cross a whole ocean to get here and if they do build a wall its not to keep people out but to keep you in but nobody's worried about a National debt that no one will be around to see get paid off America it's always someone else to blame one side to every story regardless if it's the truth or not

As soon as they land, they act entitled and want to change the culture of their host country. They don't owe you anything.

I wonder how Native Indians felt/feel...???\nGuess we'll never know being that the majority of them were killed off when you European settlers came... changed the language to english/French, made them minorities in their own country, and ruled over them by force after invading and stealing their land

Why she asked that sort of question?? Phalsthenians has the right to live on their land

Good answer. Not one has to accept the Palestinian refugees. Because the Israel intention is still the palistinian lands.

It's not the Palestinian Arabs land though

Lets brought again our Christianity faith, dont let their change our supremation as Christianity Land.\nBy Indonesian Christian people

Every land you live in this world belongs to the almighty Allah. If you are good English then it is better be a good human. UK A. NATION KNOWN WORLD WIDE. SHAME TO THIS HORRIBLE ATTITUDE!

The problem is immigration system is not managed . People should be moved to SK/MB /Pei but here we are every immigrant lands in GTA /BC

white people cant stand someone else invading their land but white people especially america love to invade other countries.

Ever since Trudeau opened up the borders making it very laxed for these 3rd world countries to enter Canada has become a dark hole.. 70s,80s,90s when it was difficult to enter the country strick border protection to protect us has gone down the drain. I wish it went back to the Era where CBSA use to enter factories or any work place and asked for citizenship if they deported. I’m a man of colour young and I notice the change in my native land.. it needs to go back to the way it once was… Make Canada Great Again

The land belongs to Israel

I got laid off 5 weeks ago ( no renewal of contract).. after 7 years working for that NFP.. I applied for snap and unemployment… while applying for jobs( social worker field)… first, they ask for so many documents… including my bank account….( again I was laid off .. not fired nor left my job, nor finding reasons not to work all those years ), department of labor had a mandated zoom meeting to discuss what I needed to do 4 weeks after I was laid off( like i don’t know)… I ve been working for years and paying taxes… a lot of them in NYC, I was also told that I have to show what I am doing to search for work and eventually should take a job( even if the salary is low..ridiculous)… I was also informed that I may get a call from investigator from DOL..they may call individuals receiving unemployment benefits($441 a week after taxes?)… to verified that I was searching and applying for jobs( even though I enter my activities related to work weekly on their website…..)….. meanwhile… people with 0 legal documentation are entering the US and living here, free snap, free housing, free health insurance!!!! Lala land!!!! Can’t wait for this non sense to stop!!! Every corner of NY , you see families begging for money. Food…I feel bad as a human being, but refuse to help or I ll be joining them too… welfare system needs to change too! The politics NEED to change!!!All the best !

we have land from windsor to toronto emtpy why??

The land of Justin Bieber and Drake! I am heading to Canada ...wait what

your gov should be building more hosuing. HK and Singapore dont have problems with housing. you got big land mass

I don’t even necessarily blame the government. I blame the for profit immigration centers in foreign countries that sell canada as this utopia rich land. We’ve been struggling for years and it’s not fair for those who come here being told it’s paradise and they’ll make all the money they want when it’s not true. It’s fraudulent

The Ukrainians also don't want to leave their land! We still take them in and feed them!

???? WHY SO MUCH LAND CANADA PROPERTIES CAN MAKE SO MUCH LAND ?????? WHAT A JOKE,U NEED PROTECT CITIZENS, NATURAL OR BORN, why don't forginers go to other Provinces

The funny thing is once they land on USA soil. Then they tell everyone one how much they love there home, country. So go back home and fight for your freedom and stop been a burden on other people

If Canadians think new govt will solve the problem. They are dead wrong. This is the vicious cycle they can not get out. Their own structure can not support pensions and salaries. They need to bring in new immigrants otherwise the system cycle will collapse. As far as housing is concern. Does Canada have shortage of land ? Its due to policies that new housing is not coming up thus driving prices through the roof. No govt will gonna change that because corporate interests are involved and not house owners wanted their prices to go down. Which happened to be biggest voting block. Thus ordinary young Canadians are feeling the music and they see new students as the enemy. In fact it is the students who go through horrible exploitation ordinary Canadians cannot imagine. Canadians economy is an artificial economy based AND ITS BUBBLE WILL GO POP IF IT STOPS IMMIGRATION. Harsh reality and see if Mr Poilievre gonna change that ??. They are all the same bunch of liars like Trudeau. Don't forget Trudeau was charming prince ones. They all change with Realities.

Housing shortage in a country with so much land, space and so few people? Baffling. Think HK, Tokyo, Singapore

That land loves Palestinian blood

Meanwhile they are on indigenous land

If you don’t like Indians in canada, you should also go back to Europe and free this land for natives

As long as that land does NOT include land that has historically, abd currently belongs to Israel.

First of all you wiped out indigenous people of Canada and living in their land. So you should also ready to pack your bags

They are not gonna leave there land it's u who are the wrong size of the coin Mr fm

Well Canada is obviously different from England I think. The land you currently call Canada was originally owned by the native people. If you are not happy with it, why don't you move forward or out, to somewhere better ? ???

I agree, and therefore the Palestinian land that Jordan received from Israel should be immediately and unequivocally returned to the Palesrinians.

Everyone's hyperfocused on the migrants and not the rent-seeking, unproductive landlords making BANK off the status quo. \n\nWhen ur gpd is tied to rent and house prices going up this is the result... When simply owning a piece of land makes you more money than working, this is the result. \n\nMigrants don't run your government, immigration isn't charity, it's a gift to the elites, just more meat for the grinder. Nothing will change until the incentive structure is changed and you realise who's really stealing your country.

David, are you seriously thinking that you can save enough for trucking school in Toronto by working as an Uber driver? Are you serious?\n\nWhen I see people like him, I think they are crazy, for real.\n\nYou need to focus on getting your PR status and talk with an immigration lawyer or do your own research. Move to a different province if necessary.\n\nI am Ukrainian myself. I landed in Canada in 2021 and worked on a farm for almost minimum wage for two years. However, I got almost free housing and obtained my PR. \n\nThen I got a better job. There are plenty of jobs in Alberta where employers provide accommodation almost for free or completely free. The job may not be the best, but you can save money quickly. That's what I did. I worked another year for a sewer company, completed my trucking school, and now I have my Class 1. \n\nSome companies even pay for your trucking school, but you have to sign a contract for 1 or 2 years. They might not pay much, but hey, you'll get your Class 1. \n\nYou need to read more forums and talk with more people. Don’t just sit and wait for a miracle.

Finally a report that calls it the way it is. Canada is broken, all the services our tax dollars support are redirected to the new Canadians. There are no services available to me, after paying taxes for more then 40 years. Housing, rentals are outrageously priced, what once cost $800 a month a few years ago, is now $1,500 for the exact same unit. \n\nThe Canadians that built this country with their tax contributions are being shut out of all the services and we can't afford to live in our own country. Even immigrants don't want to live here anymore. Canada is broken!\n\nthere are a lot of reports that show immigrants using foodbanks like a grocery store. Food banks are not grocery stores, they are there to help people who are not able to buy food. Foreign students are expected to be able to support themselves while in Canada as foreign students. They lie about having the money to get in, then when they get here they complain, take our housing, our jobs (Ukrainians can work in Canada as soon as their plane lands, after receiving $3,000 in cash from the government of Canada).\n\nCanadians are treated as second class citizens, priority is given to new Canadians. There are absolutely no services available to me, no doctor, no affordable housing, double the price for food, no medical, nothing....

Palestinians are in their land.

Urban sprawl hurts the climate through land development. \nOur current level of destroying wetlands and grasslands for housing has way more long term impact on nature than if we had 10x the amount of tarsands oil production.

KKKanada - a land stolen from indigenous nations!

I can't help but think that the phrase 'a country of immigrants' is just a sneaky way of saying 'a country of colonialism'. I dont know that much accountability or reconciliation has happened in Canada over the last 300 years. It began with governments and corporations doing whatever they wanted and could do to make money and extract resources off of this land (regardless of whom it affected), and continues to be just that. The increase of immigrants is largely, as far as I know, being used to a) bring in more revenue and economic stimulus (which is more and more ending up in the hands of a few very wealthy families) and b) fuel the labour force of large corporations that would rather soak the profits up themselves, hire low-wage PR or temporary foreign worker labour, than pay Canadian residents properly to work those jobs. I love immigrants, have many 1st gen immigrants friends, and think they do bring a lot to Canada. We all do, as we were all immigrants at some point. At the same time, the immigration system is very complicit in looking at immigration as a resource in aiding those rich families/ corporations in colonialism, and you could argue that this overreliance is abuse of the immigration system. Certainly, we have seen this with colleges. This feels especially true over the last several years with huge jumps in immigration numbers with growing inequality for long term residents. So the result is a very quickly changing world that is not helping many Canadians feel more secure about their future, which is a recipe for unrest. Am I wrong? Genuinely I am looking to have an open discussion here!

It would have been interesting to get the take of the First Peoples of Canada on how immigration affected their forefathers, their culture, their land and their lives.

I wonder what the Native Americans felt like when white people settled and took their lands.

Because thier land....about egyp why block the boarder

Maybe we should not have taken their land. They are not invading the United States. They are hyst moving further north on their land....fuck what you think!

Canada, Australia, New Zealand, US, Israel and pretty much every American country were built on genocide and land grabs. \nSteeling at gun point indigenous land and then claiming it as one’s own Is completely outrageous and has no sustainable logic. I mean what’s the future of that? What’s the legacy of that?

Absolutely it's their land and in sha Allah it will be their land always..Ameen Suma Ameen

This is actually native American land sooooooo.
