When is Justice system going to wake up Justin TRUDEAU is a very dangerous man to Canadians and Canada. The justice system let's Justin TRUDEAU Travel all over when the CRS should have put a lean on all Justin TRUDEAU Property Assess same with liberals NDP Jagment Singh and Doug Ford and the mayor of Toronto Ontario she get into office because of Beijing help .

She wont cause the numbers are.highest in toronto and theynvote for hum...thats why he keeps opening the immogration faucet...he is a.sellish devious person.

YouTube allows the CBC to forbid comments on their videos. That is Turdeau control. Thank you Toronto Sun for unbiased reporting.

Brian, Canada is still under British control why do you insult us by pretending otherwise? Do you think Poilievre can change royal immigration policy for Canada when he is anointed the next PM? Geebus Rice even the Toronto Sun is owned by the frigging British.

check out Torontos most wanted list, Trudeau is a screw up in the first degree, should have been gone years ago.

1:53 I think many Canadians would disagree on that. There are enough people around the world who would like to come to Canada that in a relatively short time, native-born Canadians who may have lived in a community their entire life can be quickly overrun when we have numbers like these entering the country. The numbers of people coming from the same country meet up with others from their homeland & find it easier to remain within that clique than to actually shed some of their old lives & Canadianise. Those who do Canadianise are disparaged as selling out by their ethno-cultural community. So we just end up with a multi-tiered society of different people quietly avoiding each other & living in constant distrust. It gets even worse when they bring their Old World prejudices here, as we have seen in places like Toronto & Montreal. It's safe to say that people on both sides of the Israel/Palestine conflict see themselves as Canadians second - at most. They don't look upon people from the other side as fellow Canadians, because they don't see any fellowship in their Canadian citizenship. It's just a stamp on the back of their hand that gets them to this relatively safe country when things get bloody in their homeland.

Few years ago JT said Canada is a basically racist country built by old stock whites and that he was going to change that. Visit to Toronto can easily confirmed he was working hard on this issue.

At lease we have only few cities here in US havung that problem compared to canda toronto,which the main heart of canada. Its the leaders policies like biden here in US destroying this cities and people who voted for those crooks.

Trudeau has destroyed Canada, be it our finances, housing or immigration. Couldn’t have done it without Greater Toronto Area voters. If you’re young in Canada, you’d be better off emigrating to the US. You will be crushed by taxes and housing costs if you stay in Canada.

Toronto looks like India now.

MAn im a young black man from Chicago considering making that move \nI loved my times in Toronto I been there 4 times

People from Vancouver and Toronto… Stop coming to Montreal (Quebec). You are creating a higher demand on real estate and you guys think Quebec is cheap compare to Ontario or BC. Now it becomes like Toronto here, so expensive…

Was in Toronto last year. Not bad as a tourist. Living there? Not for me. To be honest, the world went became more about conflicts and hates since 2016. Don't know could we get our old peaceful Canada again.

1:25 the thing with that is EVERYONE is coming to Toronto because Vancouver's too expensive and Montreal is French which isn't as useful a language as English (unless you speak French then you'll probably go to Montreal)\n\nNormally this wouldn't be an issue but since the housing laws are so bad we cant get as many apartments as we need for these immigrants making housing prices skyrocket

The way Toronto has changed in the past 30 years is madness. I cannot believe what I'm seeing. I moved to get some life experiences 20 years ago and couldn't go back home if I wanted to. The place I grew up in doesn't exist anymore.

Delusions delusions . Toronto looks like garbage.

Canada is as broken as an Ubisoft game and its terrible here. i love living in Toronto as its my home city but the quality of life here decreased. our healthcare is messed up that i had to wait 3 months for a therapist so i can start walking again after i had surgery on my leg. by the time one was assigned to me i was already walking and back to normal and didnt need any assistance anymore. also Toronto rather spend 20 mil on renaming a major street to some African name(that has nothing to do with Toronto) for some dumb reason instead of spending that money elseware to improve our medial/housing/food crisis.

I am Canadian living in Windsor ON and I was homeless bc my salary of a few months was sent to an account that was closed. The City of Windsor acted immediately, approved assistance for the deposits of a rental unit, bus pass and paid lawyers so my sponsor 6 years before was held accountable for me, my job situation improved and the government was compensated back for the trouble. It depends on what city you live in. Torontos city hall owe billions in debt. No money for assistance.

Toronto is great if you want to become homeless or attacked on the streets

If bro had Canadian passport situation would have been different.\n\nRacism cases are increasing in Canada as some Canadians cannot digest brown folks working hard day and night and driving expensive cars!\n\nThese people want to work less and get paid more!\n\nFor those Canadians, stop blaming immigrants for your govt failures. Mississauga and Brampton pay more taxes than Toronto and Montreal! \n\nBrown folks don’t smoke weed or do drugs on weekdays! They work hard to have a better future! Not demand more money for puny work!

Lol Vanouver is the homeless capital of Canada. Have you been to East Hastings? That's more homeless people than all of Toronto

I sold a beautiful property in Canada ten acres of maple bush with a home . Just north of Toronto .it was difficult but l read the tea leaves.....would it be worth much more today... obviously...but l was lucky to build a beautiful home on a whitesand beach in Asia.....taxes are $500.00 a year hydro $200.00....insurance and other costs are insignificant.....the big gain is peace of mind and absolute privacy with only a fraction of the sale of my Canadian home..never going back

Not all of Canada is that bad, Toronto however is starting to go downhill though, too many condos and townhouses and everything's getting really expensive, also the high crime rate too.

I love Toronto but it has declined under the leadership of mayors John Tory and Olivia Chow, Premiers Kathleen Wynne and Doug Ford, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. It is too expensive, traffic is horrible, and crime has risen.

There is MORE THAN ENOUGH LIVING PLACES. condos are all empty and sold everything to foreigners. I'm in Toronto. This is the bs I've ever heard. \n\nGvt has destroyed everything. There are no rules or regulations. Belligerence and chaos. No order. No zoning laws. All the laws were just disregarded. But hey! Keep giving out the parking tickets make bike lanes and speed trap tickets!!!

I’m born and brought up in Canada, from immigrant parents. If I was not married, I would without a doubt LEAVE. This country has been plucked clean. I also actively tell new immigrants that they should consider leaving simply because of how socially and economically unwelcoming the country has become. \n\nYes, it has gotten worse since Trudeau’s Fiberal, err I mean Liberal government took power in 2015, but honestly, it’s Canadian peoples’ fault because they repeatedly voted that virus into power. (Mainly Toronto, Montreal, and Ottawa’s fault!)

Toronto is not a real city.\n\nMore than half of people who live there were not born in Canada.

Toronto seems like a cakewalk compared to NYC

Please do your research before moving to Canada or re-locating to another province. The grass IS NOT always greener on the OTHER SIDE. Toronto is a VERY EXPENSIVE city to live in. Think of paying $2,500.00 per month for a one-bedroom apartment, or 1.5 million dollars to buy a home. Do your research! Windsor, Ontario continually has the highest unemployment rate in the country (Canada). This video is VERY misleading.

toronto really went downhill fast.

I lived on the streets of Toronto for over 3 years between 1997 & 2001. I'd always been a bisexual 'loose, wild and crazy girl' as they say, and for me it was a natural progression. When I was 20 my family immigrated here from South Africa but I was way too immature so Quebec City and I didn't get along. I and a girlfriend hitchhiked out to run wild in Toronto. The fun only lasted the summer and then I spent 3 years living on the streets there. Doing 'the job' just to get by becomes a chore for sure. I spent one winter in a tent city near the lake but too many people made it a violent place. My last winter out there I spent in the Don Valley with a small group, moving our encampment every few days. I would likely have ended up dying out there but a guy I scarcely knew at the time drove all the way to T.O. and spent a week looking for me and just by luck found me when I was at my lowest and willing to go home.

Toronto has changed and not for the better.? Canada has changed and not for the better.

High rent and crime are problems across Canada right now. Larger cities will be more strongly impacted. \nThe root causes are actually quite simple. It's from decades of downloading responsibility for many services until they ended up in the hands of municipalities who had no capacity to fund them, then made 2x worse by the disastrous immigration policy of just the last few years.\nIt explains all three of the problems you identify, unaffordable rent, high crime rate, and underfunded social services.\nSo these are not problems with Toronto, but at the federal and provincial levels. Simply repeating that there are plenty of better options elsewhere doesn't make it true, unless you can give specific examples. Other places likely pay less, require longer commutes, don't offer small size rentals, have even worse social support, similar crime rates, or some combination of all those factors.\nToronto itself isn't as bad as this video makes it out to be. The downtown core skews all the averages, yet all the reporting, b-roll, and examples seen here seem to focus on the core. Of course the reason why it's worse in the core is because so many people want to live there! But I'm not going to concern myself about people who complain that they can't afford to live urban lifestyle, to be a part of 'the scene'. There are plenty of much more affordable options within a 30 minute subway ride of the core. Well inside city limits. But your friends won't think you're cool, so... oh no!\nYes, rents are still too high outside the core, of course. But they aren't as ridiculous as this video suggests. The city is massive. Grow some humility and find a place to that you can afford to live, within Toronto.

I moved here 16 years a go (6 years in Calagary + 10 years in Toronto). I've witnessed the high and low of Canada, about 6 years ago, I already started seeing the dwindling quality of life. Limited job opportunities/security, deteriorating health care and public safety, skyrocketing rent/cost of living, and people are becoming less tolerant/welcoming. Of course the pandemic made it worse, and it exposed the social ills in the country. Still better than a developing country, but definitely not Canada I used to know and experience.

We have been living in the suburb of Toronto for over 40 years, and this was the best city to live in , but Trudeau has made a mess of this country . Cost of living is very high. Traffic is bad. Crime rate is high. Trudeau needs to go.

Canadian gov't needs to spread its population out of big cities, e.g., Toronto, Vancouver, to suburbs and invest more into infrastructure. I live in the US but have relatives in Toronto and I went to Toronto, Canada, back in the 90s. And I went to Toronto about two years ago, traffic congestion on 401, 404, and QEW highways were nightmare, no new highways built.

This is not a Toronto problem, an Ontario problem or a Canadian problem, it's the entire western world and it comes down to one simple reality: the concentration of immense wealth in the hands of but a very few. Until wealth is distributed fairly and that normal working people can afford to house themselves, buy groceries and still have some disposable income, the problems portrayed here will only intensify.

toronto is such a shit hole

Toronto and Vancouver do not define the identity of Canada but Asia ... India , China and has been this way for the past 30 years ... expensive , nothing Canadian , homeless , crimes , drugs ... Blame Provincial governments of Ontario and BC for having no interference and does not care .... Mayors of Toronto have been scandalous stories time after time

Live in multiple provinces, quebec is definitely the worst for healthcare out of them all. I hear people in Toronto complain but it was really nothing compared to here.

No we cannot afford the rate of immigration that we have had recently. We don’t have the infrastructure in all our institutions. If you can’t provide quality healthcare to the citizens then clearly you can’t be accepting hundreds of thousands new immigrants per year. No citizen should have to wait fir over a year for any surgery. Also, our healthcare system fails to cover therapies to address chronic pain which has significant impact on overall health and even mobility. Also I’m so sick of hearing about Toronto and Vancouver. The cost of housing is a huge problem in all cities. There are no job opportunities for most students not just international.

Here in Toronto you hardly see any white people anymore (exaggerating a bit), yet you complain about racism and also criticize Canada in other areas. How is it even your business? I don't remember ever seeing Canadian TV programs criticizing India. And I have nothing against India and Indians, in fact, they're mostly quite pleasant. But you're taking it a bit far here.

As a Canadian this video is only touching the tip of the iceberg. #1 Canada was built by immigrants (like my late grandparents) for immigrants, Immigrants regardless if they are here on a work or study permit are not the problem but the solution, always have been and always will be. Yes the part of the problem can be attributed to an inadequate affordable housing and yes the federal government does deserve blame for that. However as the 2nd largest nation in the world by land mass yet with a population less than California, we have a lot of underdeveloped areas from the Pacific to the Atlantic, and that is also the fault of the federal government regardless of political stripe. Regardless if people come to Canada to work or study, the federal government needs to make it more attractive to them to reside outside the BIG 3 cities of Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver which have become overwhelmed with immigrants hence the strain on housing and healthcare

Why is there a Cuban flag in the middle of the homeless camp in Toronto? Are there homeless Cubans living there?

I used to study in one of Canadian colleges back in 2018 and lately graduated in 2021s. My parents paid the college instead of me , fortunately around 300K CAD for a college tuition fee to grocery fees to monthly room rentals in Toronto. \n\n I am a Korean national and i see there is no benefit for me to move in to Canada as Canadian cities have extremely high housing rentals compared to major cities in the US. I do hope US govt bridges and gets the internatinoal student in Canada approval for a work visa and possibly let them move in to small cities in the US.

Always showing Toronto when talking about Canada...There are plenty of other cities where life is so much better!!! Toronto is a cesspool

At the start of the video there were statements made that the immigration: foreign workers and international students - is putting a strain on the Canadian safety net. When the narrator was talking about homeless population there was a video piece showing opinions of some of the homeless people. Are those homeless people immigrants? If not how can you use that video piece to support your point?\n\nThere was also a chart showing how shelter occupancy grew in Toronto and how expensive it is to buy a house in Toronto. Toronto is not the whole country, you can’t make it seem like the whole country can’t “afford immigrants” because housing in Toronto is expensive.\n\nI view this report as an opinion piece: there were some statements made at the beginning but as the video progressed no evidence was provided to support those statements.\n\nI agree that there are problems that are tied to immigration in Canada but you can’t just state something without providing a factual evidence showing how immigration is linked to the problems covered in the video. This looks like cherry picking, not journalism.

Vancouver, at least on a per capita basis, and view on the streets is even worse.. sad to see its getting real bad in Toronto too. What's happening to Canada man..

I built Toronto; to be forgotten about and neglected and for what? immigration. We have no home anymore.

I m an immigrant who came here over 30 years ago. And I say stop immigration. We have been waiting for family doctor for 9 years now. When we came in we did not get any free housing or government money. We worked 2 jobs now we have to work 2 jobs to pay taxes and support new immigrants who can free housing. Come on now. My kids could not got to Toronto university because they could not pay for the housing there but yet you give money to immigrants to live in Toronto.
