So we need to think about who is a Canadian? Unless you belong to the Indigenous group you are either an immigrant or a descendant of an immigrant. I have lived in Brampton for almost 20 years and have witnessed the change. Yes, people need to adapt and understand the so called Canadian culture. But also think about whether you will have an issue with a white Portuguese or Italian immigrant ,the same way. These Indian students are spending money and driving the economy. They are loosing their precious years doing trivial jobs which the so called white people will not do. Indian students are committing suicides at an alarming rate in canada. Government policies are to blame not these students

Imagine how the Native Americans felt when they were invaded. History tends to repeat itself. I know things are different nowadays and yes they should go about it the legal way but if you think about it, what the Europeans did to the Native Americans is similar to what is happening to us now. Minus the mass genocide and forced culture conversion. We're all descendants of immigrants. This nation was built and formed by immigrants. Back then though there was no legal precedent to worry about. Our ancestors came here and just took over everything. Maybe we're paying for the sins of our ancestors. Karma's a bich. Just so no one thinks otherwise, I firmly support the legal way to become a citizen.

This isn't new. International students pay more to attend our universities, and always have. That's why universities prefer international students over Canadian citizens. As far as claiming asylum...big deal. That's been happening ever since Europeans came here, especially the white waves after WW's 1&2. Now, descendants of those people, are saying 'no more immigration'.

As a Canadian who was born here and the son of immigrants. I can say to you that the problem is with the Canadian government. It has lead to indians being taken advantage of by unsavoury people. And the situation is contributing to the housing crisis here in Canada although it's. not the only cause. The vast majority of Canadians do not blame the people coming here. We would take advantage of the opportunity to come here too if we were in the indian immigrants shoes as well. Keep in mind this is a country of immigrants. The vast majority of people came here or are descendent of people who came from somewhere else.

Being european descended and poor isn't a cause de jour. So it's ignored

Divide and conquer. Friendships are mostly made because of similarities or similar interests. Same goes for small communities, ethnicities cuz of shared cultural values and traditions.\n\nDump a bunch of different people together and make them hate each other because they will fight for the scraps and you will rule them all. \n\nSad to see this happening btw I am also a first gen migrant. My 4 grandparents came to The Netherlands from Suriname. I am an Indian descendant 5th gen. \n\nCanada helped us a lot during WOII see we see you a close ally. Love from The Netherlands and India ❤

Immigrants like the descendants of the foreign Europeans,1492 to now In the Americas. Any questions

How easy it is to forget that the land called the USA was once the country belonging to the native people. They were killed with genocide means , their lands stolen and then settled by european criminals who used the bible as their reason for invading , murdering, stealing, abusing and all worst forms of violence. Do unto others as you would like others to do unto you. Now there is endless complaining about the descendants of the earlier invaders about them being invaded.British and french invaders were shockingly cruel.

I am West Indian, descendent of India indentured workers. I love my country of birth, Canada where I have lived since 3, and I have much love and pride in my Indian roots. That being said, I have come to feel embarrassed of being taken for East Indian by other Canadian people. I moved to small city outside of Toronto in 2004. I loved it here! People were so welcoming, kind, friendly. I felt no prejudicial treatment from any of my neighbours. \nFast forward, my little city is now overrun with new Indian immigrants. I can’t tell if I am in the heart of Toronto or Brampton or my city of Oshawa. \nThe Indian people I encounter in the grocery store are pushy, have no Canadian manners, speak their language loudly, come to the stores with their entire family which fills up the isles and cause long lines. All the sale items are sold out by the time you get there because Indians are filling their cart with as much as they can purchase of any of the on sale merchandise. This never happened before. \nI am also saddened by being assaulted when an Indian person passes by and wave of body order sickens me. I don’t understand what the cause of that is. Not bathing regularly or not using deodorant. But I notice this everywhere I come in contact with Indians, men and women, young and old. \nI feel like I will be mistaken for East Indian myself which I have been when I went to the hospital. I was treated like I couldn’t speak English lol\nThe worst is the Muslims, they are the rudest the way they fill every available free space, make women feel uncomfortable and are just intrusive and unable to incorporate themselves with other Canadians. They also have a superiority attitude. \nThis is a plan honest list of observations. I hope they learn to integrate with Canadian culture, improve their language skills and learn proper hygiene. Thank you

Kamala Harris is an Indian Brahmins descendant? Brahmins are ruthlessly un loyal to the people that provides shelter and security . At least half of America loves her.

I would blame the Trudeau government,but I also hold those who are bad ambassadors at fault, they get blame on the same level, I cant believe the things im seeing happ My grandfather drove a tank through Italy for this Country and it deeply offends me to see so many immigrants being brought in. I agree with your opinion, and I can sympathize with those who are here for good reasons but Canadians are hurting because of this government, there are no longer jobs , the prices keep increasing while what few places that use to be jobs for Canadians have an indian working and I can't help but become upset when I see so much pain, and have seen so many people take their lives or fall into addiction. \n I've had the pleasure of knowing Indians from the past before immigration became an issue and I would still hold them in high regard , but I care about Canadians, and that might even represent some indian immigrants but not the new wave that have arrived. I would leave if I had somewhere else to go and I think if you are an Indian you should leave for your own safety. This Country is going to descend into some kind of hell soon, especially if war is brought to our soil, anything big right now would kick off alot of hatred, pain, sadness that Canadians coast to coast are dealing with

We need a full moratorium on immigration and mass remigration/deportation, and we need it now. Otherwise, Canada is finished and will quickly descend into chaos (it already is).

I am a Brazilian German descendant, from mother and fathers side, I speak German and have many qualifications in Electrical and Electronics Engineering....but already 3 years since I applied for German citizenship... no answer so far...perhaps if I were an holocaust victim or illegal inmigrant it would be much quickler... no longer wanting to stay in the land of my grandparents, a lot of good things but soooo bureaucratical...not all are perfect in Brazil as well, but at least there is a grass I know how to walk on...

As an African American with Native American heritage. I have never understood why people of color want to move to racist countries of the West. it is a shock to me to see this. but I am also a descendant of a people who were reduced to being live target practice for law enforcement, to be consumers and free entertainment for the world

Quraish and Israel in Israel inside Quran is the same, where as on Israel we already understand about the Quraish they change Muslim World into Dynasty a leader of religion and leader of a nation descendant from grandfather to father son and grandson, you think by your sanity how come a religion leader and nation combined into a family root

Racism is alive and well in Canada. All those who aren't the descendants of immigrants in Canada speak up. The rest should stop the racial attacks and recognize their families were immigrants. Most are fleeing unstable living conditions.

Canada is trying to become pretty much like China! Trudeau is basically Hitler's descendant and probably the no.1 puppet of Klaus Schwab. In fact, Schwab has already expressed his admiration for China's control system. I guess that's how they imagine the world for their New World Order...

For someone who is a descendant of the first French and English settlers with native American roots I don't see running as the answer this is my homeland, Castro and his ilk in all world governments it will be hard to escape they will follow you wherever you go

Canada is descending into the reality of socialism ... sad

I am a racist. I want the fruits of my labour to go to my own descendants and to the descendants of the other people who paid for our infrastructure and public services. Oddly enough, my own descendants are of the same race as myself and their father. I have no interest in being taxed to pay for facilities for foreigners. So I am a racist.

Why treat Palestinians like every other refugee in the world, let them and all their descendents remain refugees for eternity receiving more foreign aid per capital than any other peoples in the world, most of which only goes to the terrorist dictator leadership, and none to the average Palestinian.

These white Canadians complaining. Descendants of colonizers being colonized. Absolutely beautiful.

Descendants of colonizers being colonized by immigrants. Beautiful.

Ironic thing, most of the people in this video are descendents of illegal immigrants from Europe.

This man talking is descended from immigrants. I’m descended from immigrants. My husband is descended from immigrants. Everyone I work with in my professional office is descended from immigrants. They came poor and looking for a better life. They built this country on their backs. I’m sick of hearing that our problems are because of immigration. We have corporations with their hands in our pockets, billionaire grocery moguls raising prices arbitrarily, governments spending carelessly…do not put the use immigration as a scapegoat!!!

Aren’t we all immigrants ? well, except indigenous, some people forget that every single person is an immigrant or descendant of an immigrant…

They don’t want Palestinians because they are Sunni Muslims. Spoils of war and conquer that have become muslim through the many centuries. It’s a threat to Shia muslims who believe they are the direct descendants of Mohammed and look down on sunni muslims.

Karma 101: The European displaced the native Indian, now the indians from india will displace the European descendants.

Are the people complaining about 'immigrants', not the descendants of mainly European 'immigrants', who took over someone else's country/continent? How ironic!

Canada isn't a nation of immigrants at all. Canadians are the descendants of immigrants the same as everyone else on the planet, including the indigenous. That is, unless your family has never left the place where humans first evolved.\n\nUnlike modern immigrants, the first white settlers in north America did not sail into an established society with power stations, health care, water and power distribution networks etc., to get the benefit of other people's hard work and investment. They started from scratch.

Ain't they immigrants from Europe? Or descendants

Descendants of immigrants are the most anti-immigrant??? they want skilled workers but they would prefer Martians ?

Same problem, different country. We have the same problem here in the UK. I hope you don't descend rioting madness to resolve this complex problem.

Descendants of Colonizers and immigrants are complaining about immigrants. What a world we live in.

you talk too much! shut up ! your descendants also came to the US from Europe and had nothing on them!

I get why migrants leave Bulgaria as soon as they enter, but Canada? Really? I was there in January, it was fine. Couldn't have descended into third-worldness _this_ fast, surely?!

New world order being put in place. God help us all.\n\n\n1 Thessalonians 4:16-17\nKing James Version\n16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:\n\n17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

funniest thing is, Descendants of those Britishers who destroyed the Canada's Native culture by committing ethnic cleansing against Native Canadians, all talking about others should adapt Canadian culture. Funniest statements are coming from USA CANADA AUSTRALIA NZ and BRITAIN nowadays. A group of British calling their ownership over native's lands as legal. What a shameless world we live.

Dear Abhi and niyu\n\nI am a citizen of Bangladesh. I see what kind of educational content you create. How to stand up against injustice and teach us to stand up.\nYou are a citizen of India, you must have heard the name of Bangladesh. In our country, in the name of autocracy and anarchy, people are suppressed without giving the opportunity to speak. Today, even after 53 years of independence, students who are descendants of freedom fighters are preferred over talented and educated people. Request you to make a specific and preventive video based on this topic. I do not know if you will see the message? But if you have seen it, I request you to keep my proposal.\nthank you

95% of us are either immigrants or descended from immigrants, aka people who bailed on their situation for greener pastures. Is it any surprise now that times are getting rough most people want to just leave instead of sticking it out and trying to make our country better? We are pathetic, blaming politicians and immigrants for all of our problems instead of trying to do literally anything to improve things ourselves, Im really ashamed of us all

Imagine being the descendant of immigrants and hating immigration.\n\nImagine being jealous of a culture where hard work is present. \n\nImagine repeating the same right-wing rhetoric and still being outworked by an ethnic group that doesn’t seem to care.\n\nYour ancestors are rolling around in their graves.

White people in Canada are also descendant of immigrants. Why not say say Canada is too white. Is Canada, Canada or is this Europe ? ? True Native people stand up. The problem with this video is that you trying to blame Indian people for the drug abuse by White people....seriously? This is stupid. Talk to your Truedeu stop pointing fingers at Indian immigrants cause it's easy and deflecting the blame. Look at yourself...it's your life.. your choice be better rather than blame Indian people who came to Canada just like White people back in the day to work hard for their famalies

Dude looks like ManBoy from Snowfall ?. Just shows you how close Arabic genetics are to the African/Native American descendants here. As a light skin dude with Cherokee and Nigerian in my genetics, the Arabic world are our brothers and sisters.

How ironic that descendants of European settlers who displaced the original inhabitants of Canada, bringing in a new, vastly different culture, should now complain about immigrantion

Hilarious to see Australians and Canadians talk about immigration when they themselves are descendants of invaders. Unless you're First Nation or Aborigine you have no business calling other people undesirable immigrants.

Native Americans Canadians Australians Newzealand, White people is These four countries are the descendants of British people, Today's generations should know their blooded history. They'd never say these words ever again.

But it is not their land. They are Arabs, Arabs are named after where they are from. The originally come from Arabia, now called Saudi Arabia. The Jews are called Jews because they are from Judea, now called the West Bank. The Arabs are the settler's not the Jews. Let just say that those living in Gaza now are the descendents of the Philistines then they should go back to where they came from. The Philistines where a see going people who came from places like what we now call South east Europe, Crete and so on. Now matter what why you look at it, they are not the indigenous people but The Jews are.

Hilarious to see the descendants of people who invaded 5 continents and slaughtered natives everywhere are today whining about people moving legally by studying and finding work while smoking meth and day drinking on the street. If despite being yt, with all the advantages of opportunities for education, community support, you were lazy and ended up homeless and a meth/alcohol addict, it’s your failure

The Palestinians have been a proud people way back since 1966.\n\nBefore that, they were Arabs.\n\nThe definition of a “Palestinian refugee” is ANYONE who lived or worked there there between 1946 and 1948…. And lost those things during the 1948 conflict… and all of their descendants for all of time.

We came to Canada 5 years ago, through Student Visa ( Masters) , wanted my kids to learn english too, the pandemic hit and borders closed. Plan was return. During pandemic we had to change our visa and got the PR and got good jobs,. Met great people and decided to stay because is nice for my children. What I have to say is: there is wayyy too many Indians, we didnt want to do any school work with them, we dont want to work with them, we dont want to live in their neighborhood. ( its weird to admit it), at this point, we dont want to go to Walmart, is just their irresponsible attitude everywhere , also descendents of India (2 and 3 generarion) that I met are shocked and upset with soo many and the elementary schools are packed full portables. There is no balance. Their culture will dominate in 100 years from now. This is how immigration works. The outcomes will be seen later and will change Canadian Culture forever.
