I hope he mentions the mass extortion going on in surrey BC, same problems on west side of Canada

I've lived in Surrey BC for most of my life, I'm an avid outdoors enthusiast and like most Canadians respect and admire nature's beauty. Years ago they built a pond on an undeveloped lot next to my neighborhood. It was a beautiful addition to the town as it allowed wildlife a place to find shelter, while giving us a little nature loop within walking distance. On multiple occasions I have caught people dumping literal truckloads of their households' trash into this small forest on a backroad I frequent. When confronted they laugh it off, and generally don't appear to see that what they're doing is wrong. The pond itself is also filled with crap, despite the posted signs informing of the harm this causes the ecosystem. From my (and most people who live here) experience it is overwhelmingly a single demographic that is responsible for the uncleanness in our shared spaces. Any BC resident can tell you about the access to beautiful nature we are privileged to, and I hate more than anything to see it being desecrated in the way I have. Most people will not speak up about this.

About time someone brought this to attention. I live in northern bc and they are still coming. U can tell which ones are fresh. They don't know how to use a crosswalk. So damn tired of it. My kid is having a hard time finding work. They took all our youths jobs.

Tyler needs to cover the Chinese invasion in Richmond, BC next. The driving in Richmond is worse than Brampton.

2:24 As an south Indian these North India people is the reason everyone is hated on india bc of hindu religion bs culture and traffic and unhygienic north India streets and delusional people like him. If I were ever asked I choose Any European countries over India without thinking a second thought

I live in bc surrey. It’s pretty close in terms of being Brampton I hate our government

What you have to understand are that the indians that came here 10+ years ago or the ones born here are completely different than the new ones especially these fake "international students". The ones that moved here before had the social capital, finances and resources to move. The new ones, their family bring them over or they use student visas bc they dont have the wealth. Class is everything when looking at this issue. Even the old demographic of Indians dont like the FOB ones because they cause trouble and dont assimilate or even try

r u going to make a video on billionaires or multi billion dollar companies overworking an underpaying immigrant workers bc they work for less or what

As an American, I am ignorant about Canada and its immigration policy, and so wonder how much stated in this video are lies due to racism, and how much is true? For example, the Indians who come to the US are vetted, are educated, and work hard. Since the 90s, most of the Indians who come to the US are not Punjabi Sikhs, nor are they Muslim. Punjabis came earlier, but since the tech boom, most who come are Hindus usually from Southern India. About 20% are also Christian. These Hindu and Christian Indians from Southern India are model minorities. Think of these kids who do well in the Spelling Bee. No crime, no trash, just educated hard working folks. Especially here where I am in San Jose, CA. So are these Canadians lying, or are the type of Indians who go to Canada worse? Those with fake diploomas or Sikhs claiming refugee status due to their religion and not being safe in Hindu India? Something is amiss bc how can these Indian immigrants be so different? If Canada is not vettung their immigrants why not? I also know that a coworker of mine who is from Southern India, his niece recently secured a visa to Canada and she is a Radiation Oncologist, an occupation Canada is in need of. So assumed lie the US, Canada is letting in needed skilled workers.

57k/year can’t even afford proper rented homes and food let alone being middle class. To be middle class in bc you have to earn at least 110k

Shout out to Invermere BC - lived there for 11 years on an expired visa and deported in 2016… Miss all of you.

It would be really nice to see them round up in Surrey BC and Brampton Ontario these communities that are infested with drug dealing and extortion of their middle class families back home. But really FOR fast track Healthcare professionals/doctors into this country. Canada as a country also has to start having more children I do not know how they solve the problem but our population is aging and if we don't want to end up like Japan we have to do something about it. I see a lot of hate here in the comments (The racist and rednecks have permission to be openly racist)but this is a complex issue and don't forget Albert Einstein and Elon Musk were immigrants there is a lot of very talented people that we have to make sure we keep. How many jobs has Elon Musk created? he is not perfect I'm sure in the millions!!!! How much tax has he generated for the country?

my family came to BC in 1958

Make it again more easy don’t travel in USA bc we are a nasty country like said Trump.

I have no desire to go to the U.S. I feel for the Snowbirds but hey, southern BC has beautiful mild winters, consider keeping your $ in Canada. 😋

Don’t blame USA for the lack of Canadian government responsibilities…last 10 years look at how Canada has had increased crime, drugs, look what’s going on in Surrey BC…..huge drug busts in Okanagan with street guns….so being proactive on safety in the so called “new world” now….is positive…

Should have ended 10+ years ago… Most immigrants came through Quebec (easiest route), then settled in Ontario & BC…

Richmond Hill and Scarborough in Ontario and Richmond in BC are largely Asian Woodstock ON is largely Italian So, when the Canadian government (particularly a drama teacher turned prime minister) allowed and gave LEGAL VISA's to thousands of economic migrants from India with no questions asked, what responsibility and accountability do Canadian voters demand from their own governments - both federal and provincial? While it's easy to videotape borderline racism and bigotry directed at immigrants from any one background or national origin (which is understandable btw), why not go interview videotape Sean Fraser and others like him who allowed (and signed off) this to occur in the first place? See what nuggets of wisdom you get from your own government perhaps.

we should do this in BC

Bc need it too

Canada (Trudeau) Let too many in at the same time... We cant take more for now... we need to prepare schools, more hospitals, ect. Its now time for other provinces to take more .... like quebec, Ontario and BC are overloaded....

Quebec is the leader in this. I wish BC was smart like Quebec...not

I hope they do it in BC and Ontario as well

BC and Ontario Creating mess in Canada with International students then them parents visitor visas Spouse and kids Uncle Aunt Cousin Whole Package for PGWP Students from India and Mass amount of Temp Status Holder. Quebec must Protect them self. From Canadian Crazy Immigration IRCC.

Why can't BC do the same.

Great decision and i hope BC does same.

Canadians im coming there too, i am a British Sikh man. But i have no intentions on living in Brampton or any other densely populated city with Indians and Muslims. Canada is going to soon get a large influx of British Indian's, because the Muslim's are taking over the government. I plan to get out before we are prevented from leaving. BC, middle of knowhere 😍

Funny bc the colonizer's are crying about been replaced when they did they same thing and claim the country as theirs, white pple are funny they think it's their God given rights to enter another country and colonize it but others can't, same with the ones in Australia crying 😂😂😂

I actually met someone who fits the description, came here through a international student program, he left that program from BC then came to Alberta and started work in forestry. He ended up getting fired due to him lying about his experience with computers and no back ground in forestry.

NO NO NO I REJECT TO THIS REALITY INDIAN HAVE ABUSED THE CANADIAN LAWS NOW ALL OVER CANADA LIKE SURREY BC DEPORT THEM

East Indians are famous for their honesty. They should be allowed to come to Canada in an unlimited number. Invite more Punjabis to Surrey BC, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWvuNnRwDZ0

The same thing in BC, in cities like Kelowna, Surrey....Canada belongs to India!!

Go to Vancouver BC all these temples

Just wanna say, cause I don't think its said enough, I commend the journalistic integrity that you started out with and maintain throughout your work. Thank you for your commitment to hearing many sides of the story. My brother is a journalist in NYC and he also amplifies voices that are so often drowned out by louder, flashier ones. As a Canadian, who was born in South Africa, but have grown up in BC since elementary school, I feel incredibly grateful for the opportunity this country has given my family. We all work hard to build on the values shared in this nation. I love learning about aspects of Canada that I am unfamiliar with, but ultimately help shape its identity. 🙏

Surrey, BC, has the biggest indian population outside of India in the entire world. 4 million Indian people, fuckin gross.

Indians aren't homeless or hungry BC they help each other,

If they work, file their taxes, don't siphon the system and talk to me in English then I do not care what they do in their own time. On the contrary, I wish them the best. Those who do not contribute to society and merely leech off of it are the true dregs. That applies the same to a white man with needles harassing people under a bridge and a black man in a hoodie and mask robbing a convenience store (non-Indian stereotypes) as it does to any immigrant who hops the border and expects this country to fund their way. That said, there have been far too many immigrants in the last decade, regardless of origin. I've lived in my small town in BC for 37 years and somehow I cannot get a family doctor (I visit all of the local clinics annually and am on the provincial waiting list) while a lot of newer residents seem to have a doctor within months of moving here. I am glad I bought my house when I did, I would not be able to afford one today. I am not against legal immigration, just slow it down so the infrastructure can support it and properly vet those who apply. The system for deportment currently employed in the US is far too hastened and imperfect for my liking but the lack-of-a-system (or heck, acknowledgement) that this is even an issue by the current and previous Canadian governments is equally as concerning (arguably more, other folks can debate the politics of it).

I knew an indian guy from work who was convinced he was subject to racism bc he and 4 OTHER men from india went to a park at around 9pm and a lady yelled at them to shut up. ME: She prob just wanted silence my gawd. Loud speaker phones, no sense of respect for the park....like come on. Give the lady some peace. its so disrespectful... I dont recall growing up being so annoyed with noise pollution. Even speaker phones on trains WTH

I know of several that are in my city (in Alberta) that are here on BC study visas, trying to get Alberta drivers licenses. Ummm why would they be you think? Seems a long drive to Vancouver from a small city in Alberta

10 years ago, I had an job interview with rcmp at surrey bc detachment. 3 panels interviewers, 2 of them are indian male, and one white female. One indian male interviewer asked me if I could speak punjab.

I thought this was going to be about sunny Surrey BC.

Enough with the Indian bashing!!! Now talk about the Chinese in Vancouver, BC and Markham, Richmond Hill.

There are A LOT of Indian nationals here working jobs they have no business working. Why?…bc they’ve made fraudulent claims of education. Often paying for fake certifications from India. This isn’t a rumour.

Employers choose Indian students over local Canadian students bc they only have to pay them half as much. The other half of their wages are paid by us tax payers through a subsidy program. There's nothing wrong with good honest working people moving to a new country and living and working like the locals. But when you live OFF of the locals tax dollars or cheat the system, it is not going to be healthy for immigrants, Canadians or the economy.

CRIMINALS FROM INDIA ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE AND THESE PEOPLE WILL STOP AT NOTHING WHEN IT COMES TO CRIME . THEY TRIVE ON CRIMINAL ACTIVITY CAUSE THE LAWS PROTECT THEM MORE THAN TRUE CANADIANS . CANADA HAS BECOME A HAVE FOR CRIMINALS AS TRUMP POINTED OUT ' PROTECT OUR BORDERS AND KEEP THESE DRUG LORDS OUT . TRUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT THE DRUGS PRODUCED IN CANADA WITH THE PRE CURSERS COMING FROM CHINA . BC IS HOME .

Listen.. Surrey in BC is even worse. 95% of them are Indian... And they don't speak English 🙃

I grew up with sikhs in Abbotsford bc, great people

How is this new news, East Indians and the Chinese in BC have been doing this for years.

Now do Surrey, BC

i’m a farm worker in rural bc who works with indian ladies, i ❤️ them so much. just lovely. my mechanic is a sihk, one of my favorite people ever. indian people helped build bc in the last century and continue to do so, their culture is equal to western culture, i don’t worry that they are here one bit, but immigration from anywhere has to be balanced and fair.
