No mass immigration on crowded provinces. Especially in BC (Vancouver), Ontario or Alberta (Calgary and Edmonton).

They dont come here to work, they live on social services and food banks and anything else free..this needs to stop..over populated countries need to deal with their own issues not send them west..for those who dont believe this, go visit the citys and see all the little baghdad an pakistan parts in the citys..edmonton for example, everyone knows it east indians who live there, only a matter of time till black neighborhoods pop up..

I personally have a high standard of living in Canada. But I live in Edmonton where you can get a very nice home for the average income.

Canada has been the down the road of high immigration in the past, erven in the face of housing shortages. This happened right after World War II. To deal with the shortage of rental housing stock then in the large cities, the government put demands on immigrants and refugees to settle in agricultural areas and small town Canada. But, it seems today that most immigrants just want to go to the already overcrowded cities, especially Vancouver, Edmonton, Toronto and Montreal. Rural Canada is now facing manpower shortages, but has a fair amount of housing, as many small towns have actually shrunk in population over the years. and could use the people. Immigrants assimilate better in small towns.

I lived in Brampton until middle of 2009. There seemed to be a good mix of cultures and lots of diversity then. I'm surprised to see that it changed so much. I'm okay with people from wherever and why not India, but it's disturbing that there are so many drug addicts and homeless people. Is it the immigration or is it because of the kind of people who stayed in Brampton? Did they stay because they had no choice? It makes no sense though that so many people left this city. Well, I left it too. Edmonton is a much nicer place than anywhere in the GTA.

I met nice wife from Edmonton and thankfully was able to rescue her and her daughter to join much better life in Palm Beach FL

I have lived in Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba and now Alberta. Toronto was beautiful in the 60’s and 70’s then it started to change to what is now overcrowded, expensive and crime ridden. I would not choose it anymore. Winnipeg, Manitoba in the mid to late 80’s was lovely. People were polite especially in winter, when driving was challenging, friendly and it is very cultural. People would say it would be the best city in Canada if it was in the mountains. Now I live in Edmonton, Alberta a dirty city with a council that puts high priced, unaffordable recreation centres ahead of services that would benefit everyone. Now they want to increase the population to 2 million when it can’t afford to sustain the existing population of 1,568,000. The taxes this year have risen to 8.9% and house prices are expected to increase 6.5% for an average price of $458,000. I lived in Calgary, in the Fish Creek provincial park area close to the C-train and a good bus service to downtown. 45 minutes from the mountains and Kananaskis, great zoo, vibrant downtown and if it is not much more expensive than Edmonton and is ranked 7th best city to live in worldwide. To compare the 2 cities, Edmonton tries to be world-class but just doesn’t have what it takes. The people seem to have very little pride in their city, the parks are a mess of weeds which also grow wherever there is green space and they very possibly have the worst and rudest drivers in the country. Very sorry if this offends anyone.

lol\n\nIn area, Canada is the second biggest country in the world but unfortunately it is managed as a small country like Monaco, Andorra or the Vatican. \nThe housing issues we see in Vancouver and GTA is caused by the lack of high-speed trains like we see in Tokyo, Seoul and many Chinese or European cities, where lots of people can live 300Km away from their jobs. \nThe government need to build in Canada these urban high-speed train lines: \n- Vancouver island-Kamloops-Calgary-Edmonton \n- Quebec city-Montreal-Ottawa-Toronto-Windsor \n \nThese two high speed train lines will serve more than 70% of population in Canada, allow them to live hundred of kilometers away form their jobs, buying houses where land price are cheaper. \n \nThe second factor that makes Canadians houses not affordable is manpower price, and that can be easily with temporary working visas like we see in the agricultural sector, but this is not easy to do because the unions in Canada are strong, and will force electricians, plumbers, drywallers, etc. of years of training and certifications, when in other developed countries a professional engineer signatures to certify the construction is the only thing that is needed. \nIn lots of Europeans countries, professional engineers train their trades apprentices to build houses, and sign and become responsible for the quality and safety of the construction. \nMunicipalities also employ professional engineers that visit work sites to check if all construction rules are being followed. \n \nCanada cannot implement this plan because that will bring ruin to the Ponzi scheme we see in the housing market, causing million of mortgages payers going under water, and multiple banks to collapse like we saw in USA and Europe during the 2008 Great Recession. \n \nThe only solution for this situation is a communist regime implemented by the NDP, replicating the quiet revolution that started in Quebec last century (1960).

It's not that everyone is leaving. Eastern Europeans are going back. They go where there is no communism, simply. But there are plenty of black people coming, yesterday I was at a Highschool graduation here in Edmonton, and let me tell you, the days of white people in Canada are over. If it's any good, time will tell. I and my wife (also immigrants) will\nLeave eventually to spend our retirement in some warmth.

Watching from Nigeria. This is very helpful. I'm planning to visit my Canadian friend in Edmonton Alberta

All these criminals are in canadia government. Edmonton mayor , the same things.

Edmonton people are horrible people

I love Cape Breton. Canada is a big country. Our family immigrated to Halifax and then lived in Lake Simcoe area, then Kirkland Lake, Ontario, then lived in three or four homes in Edmonton. But the population of Alberta has tripled since I lived there and the population of Canada has doubled. Cities are mostly the same in the U.S. or Canada. I've lived in Philadelphia and Boston and on the coast of Maine. Maine and Nova Scotia share much in common. Cities are the problem: over-crowded, expensive, lacking decent employment, crime infested, etc but this is true in most of the cities of the world, whether in India or U.S. or Canada. Don't blame the country for city problems;.

hi come to SW Edmonton if you are not from India you will not find a job \nin order to work in SW Edmonton you must be from India if you are a different demographic you will not find a job

*shrugs* Canadian here. No interest in leaving, especially to the US of all places.\n\nI mean think that through. My income tax is around 17% of my income. My capital gains on investments is around 15%. I get free health care (which while obviously not free - is paid out of my taxes, yet isn't rationed or in-network restrictions, doesn't have copays and cover 90% of my medical needs). I have a government that even at its worst, is orders of magnitude more rational and public serving than the US (and god help you if Trump gets back in). Not to mention a country that doesn't literally have a major gun violence/mass shooting even EVERY FRICKING WEEK, unlike the US.\n\nAnd yes, I live in Metro Van and I have an 850 sq ft two bedroom apt I'm renting for $1250/mo - so maybe the problem isn't simply that the housing market is too tight (which it is), but that you've picked a city in high demand that's boxed in on four sides - ocean to the west, mountains to the north, US border to the south and what little farmland the lower mainland can sustain to the east. You could, of course, move elsewhere in Canada like Edmonton or Calgary, but yeah...not whiny enough, I guess.\n\nSorry, you're entitled to you views of course, but I can't help thinking most of your problems are self-inflicted... so yeah, move to the States.\n\nI'm SURE it'll work out better for you....

Edmonton

11% white in Brampton holy frig I thought Edmonton was bad.

When I take the train in Edmonton from school, it’s hundreds of Indians talking full blast, in Indian and standing on the escalator, plugging it up, they never allow any movement like cattle cars. It’s a head fuck for sure.

Welcome to the Communist country of Canada. We have a mentally deranged dictator called Trudeau. Our Prime Minister is a laughing joke among the world leaders. The government of Canada is a joke. The unbelievable lack of any common sense is non-existent. I live in rural Alberta. The hatred for Trudeau is very evident. I was once a proud Canadian. I am now ashamed of what Trudeau has done to this country. He has bankrupted the country which is close to collapsing. He has opened the floodgates to all immigrants mostly Eastern Asians from India and elsewhere. They have brought with them in fighting from their country. There's not enough infrastructure to house or feed these people. The prices of groceries are out of this world. We often see a lack of grocery items in the stores. I have to purchase products online like Amazon. In the province of Alberta, there are no family Drs. to be had. The city of Edmonton has about 6 or 7 Drs. taking new patients. I would not recommend anyone to move to Canada. I would wait until the PC government gets into power and starts to rebuild this country. We need a government that has their feet firmly on the ground.

Edmonton is just as bad

Look she is liberal/NDP representative in Edmonton

This was funny 5 years ago. Today, 4 million Indians in Canada later, is not. I live in Edmonton and recently everywhere I go I am the only white guy. It is very lonely.

They are not stopping Oyinbo to ask questions. I said it already, they have been monitoring some YOUTUBERS videos re travel, japa etc. etc. It is not only at TORONTO, EDMONTON International too they have days for particular selections! THEY HAVE BEEN WATCHING NIGERIA closely oooo. Be warned.

Delete every incrementing documents on ur phones !! Avoid Toronto Airport !!! Get adequate info from ur agent before flying !!!! Never consent to dia Asylum request if asked !!!!! Above, pray for God's divine intervention!!!!! Remember, dez Officers dont ask or interrogate everyone on the queue but picks at random !!!!!!!

A shitbox in Vancouver vs a mansion in Austin. I chose a palatial residence in Brisbane vs the dump that is Edmonton. It was the legal costs that really forced me to leave Canada.

I have been in canada edmonton for 3months now \nIf you can connect me to any of the three you have mentioned

Alberta presently is THE best Province 2024 Who did this assessment ? Seasonal work? We are a major oil producer in the world, have awesome Federal and Provincial Parks - Tourist destination Farming is very productive In this vid, Edmonton is under rated and Toronto is over rated IMO \nBC has the best climate and life style

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!

It's really not as bad as Edmonton. I've lived in both cities during the pandemic.

Im live in edmonton and its getting bad here too ???

Edmonton ***

The mayor of Edmonton is Indian and now the roads dont get clean up in winter ( Only the heavy traffic ones ) ... Summer comes and the grass is full of weed around the city .. What are they doing with tax payers money .. I was not born in Canada but i have seen exactly what is happening in this city

Edmonton neighborhoods look like Mogadishu

Brampton is what the entire country will look like in a few decades. I live in Edmonton, which is becoming more and more similar to Brampton by the day.

Brampton, Edmonton, Moncton, Somewhereton are all shit holes now. Good job Canada!

Come to Alberta. Edmonton Calgary for example . Mirror image of Brampton.

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

It is pretty darn bad in Edmonton Alberta too. Everywhere you look or walk is non white

Millwoods Edmonton

Were transitioning from OH CANADA to NO CANADA. We know how its happening. How can we stop it. Is it to late? Not just Brampton. Calgary, Edmonton and other cities with Indian mayors. This great country going down the toilet right before our eyes. I'm 7th generation CANADIAN. I have lost all hope for this country and want to leave. What the ____ happened. We need to take lesson from Denmark. Can't even watch the vid.

Edmonton same thing I was born raised her almost 60 it's not the same and lots and lots of Indians now whites are minority

Edmonton isn't very Canadian anymore

Bang on,..I moved to Edmonton.....This video was an honest,open minded and fair assessment,..appreciate it.

That is why I move to Edmonton Alberta from Burnaby BC, since 2013. Because I am a welder. Pay and job market in Alberta better than BC. Also housing rent is much more reasonable although still growing.
