Who would’ve thought the mass immigration of non skilled workers wouldn’t work out

this is scary. we don’t even know who we’re letting into our own country. and with everything currently going on, who knows how many of them are sleeper agents or terrorists sent to destroy the country from within? especially with a vast majority of them being fighting age men? islamic extremists, terrorists, all people we’re letting cross into our country FREELY, and supporting and encouraging BETTER than our own citizens?!\n\nmany of them hate the very country, people, and values they’re illegally entering and eventually overpopulating and mass influencing. eventually these same people will hold positions of power, and the sheer number of them is absolutely overwhelming and can’t be ignored, with the number increasing each day our borders remain open, and security and stricter laws aren’t enforced. and with the constant display of weakness and incompetence from our “leaders”, they may just be emboldened. i’m afraid that one day, they may just rise up and commit mass terrorism. looting, murder, are all possibilities. and with the sheer number of them, we wouldn’t be able to do anything about it. they would be the ones in power now. thing is, our country supports and helps the illegals who hate them more than their own citizens. it’s absolutely treasonous. the longer our borders remain unprotected and wide open, their numbers will only increase, and so will their terrorism. \n\nnot only that, but the amount of illegals we constantly let in and those who are already in, are absolutely negatively impacting our country’s economy, living conditions, population is increasing, many of which are illegals and are a danger to our society, their numbers increasing by the day and taking over our country from within and them holding positions of power, homelessness and cost of living is rising, debt and inflation also keep rising, etc. it’s all bad. \n\nmass deportations must be enforced, but even then, im afraid that too many of them have already infiltrated the country. and considering how our own government hates us and spends billions on everything else BUT their own citizens. it’s not looking good and has huge potential to explode into something terrifying. \n\nthis is already a massive ongoing threat in america, and the possibility of it happening here in Canada becomes more likely the longer our borders are open, and the longer stricter laws and more protective and security measures aren’t being enforced. canada must be canada FIRST with the safety, security, and well-being of our citizens FIRST. \n\nthough with the constant numbers, and the continued ignorance, evil, and corruption in our government, i’m afraid they’re already here waiting for the right moment to strike us. \n\nthat’s why above all, we can’t rely on our leaders to do anything or bring us peace. the only one who can, is Jesus Christ. the one who gave His life for us and gave us the free gift of salvation. all we must do, is follow him, pick up our crosses, have faith in him, and have a relationship with him. \n\nwe must all repent of our sins and lovingly follow him. that is all that matters. God bless you all.

Filming in Public is a Crime especially when you film the police and show their tyrannical behavior. They will come for you and hunt you down and charge you and make up all kinds of lies try to financially destroy you throw you in jail. The list goes on there’s people that are called Auditors they go out and film these people to show transparency. Every last auditor in Canada has been charged and arrested and lied in financially despaired the list goes on just go ask the rise in the falls. He actually said his channel down because there’s so many snowflake can Canadians that wouldn’t support him so he just said the hell with all of his you’ll get it in time you don’t want to stand up against tyranny one day it’ll be at your doorstep. Have a nice day.

I wouldn't move to the USA because of health care, the teacher's salary, guns, racism etc

Toronto raised me. I wouldn’t change my childhood in Toronto for anything, but as an adult, it’s not for me. It has no identity. I used to stick up for Toronto all the time, even going as far as to say “I wouldn’t want to spend summer anywhere else”. I now look forward to my time away from the city.

I wanted to start with the question of if Africans know that they are increasingly not wanted in Europe? That there is increasing sentiment against immigration and likely no jobs for them? No money for them? Wouldn't it make sense to look within Africa for opportunities?\nBut it seems Africa itself also has no home for these economic migrants, under the economic pressures stated, corruption, mismanagement, etc.

I'm Canadian and live very close to the border. Like, really really close, in the rural area. I cross all the time to grab things I can save money on. But I wouldn't live in the US for all the money in the world. People I talk to down there are all crazy.

at this point, there are many states I wouldn't even visit because of awful politics. but same here in Canada.

I think it's bad here now. People calling lgbt+ people psychopaths. You can see so many homeless now with no choice but to live in tents. Panhandlers on every major intersection. The roads are full of large suped up pick-up trucks and they act like they own the roads. I'm starting to feel unwelcome in my own country. But I do see it as all of this being imported by the US, so I defintely wouldn't move there.

I'm Canadian, besides the health care , you've got to ask yourself what do you get from your government?\nA large army is all I can see, does that mean you expect to fight for your life?\nBasically I wouldn't move to the United States, it's a beautiful country and the people are good, but I would not like to live somewhere where there's no future.\nAnd that is what you can't work on because you don't have the freedom of Our benefits

If it wasn’t for free healthcare I wouldn’t be here right now , I would have died at 25 , 58 now

I’m glad I’m Canadian ??? I enjoy visiting the States but with my health issues!!! I wouldn’t be here to talk about it, some months I see Dr’a more than 6 times/month!!! Not including surgeries, hospital stays and very expensive drugs!! My 1 drug is $20,000 2/year and I’m on over 20 different daily meds, that doesn’t include the special ones I need from time to time!! Thank you Canada ?

I'm Canadian and lived in New York City for 5 years. I was offered a job and thought, why not? After 6 months, my excitement wore off. Of course, there's healthcare, but everything is about politics, and I mean everything. Such a focus on it. I know I'm talking about NYC here, but the people were not nice at all. Nobody cares about anyone as a human being. People are just plain argumentative and want to get into a scuffle. Let's just say I was very aware I was Canadian. I was baffled at the lack of humanity. In the beginning, I was holding doors open for people, etc, and people wouldn't even say Thank You. I naively expected people to do the same and guess what? It didn't happen. My work visa was for 3 years, so I was ready to move, and then, of course, COVID hit. I was stuck for another two years, then my passport expired so I had to wait to get that. After 5 years I was ready to head back to Canada. I moved back on Sept 2, 2022 and couldn't be happier. I could not live in the United States again.

Life expectancy in Canada is 82, in the USA it is 76. That's proof how inferior the American health care system is. It's an amazing place to travel. I wouldn't trade what we have in Canada to live there.

You should also check reactions from USers who moved in Canada. Having lived first in the US they should have a different pov. I have a friend who came from Michigan in the early 90's and stayed here, I know she wouldn't go back. She even learned french and she's good.

I'm a person with a disability getting murdered by our Canadian Governments here, I would never survive the US, I wouldn't have the money for my medication

Paying for a health care visit in Ontario wouldn’t surprise me as the Conservative Government has gutted the public health care system to allow more for profit care givers to come in. ?

The USA is a blight upon the earth I wouldn’t be caught dead going there no offence

I was born and raised in Toronto but left in the early 2000s because I saw the writing in the wall back then. Every time I go back to visit I find it more crowded, more dirtier, more dangerous and just generally unpleasant. It used to be a nice city but no longer. I wouldn’t go back to live there.

I wouldn't mind the struggle it's all worth it

Australian intelligence agencies also recently announced that Indian officials targeted their own Hindu temples in Australia with graffiti just to tarnish Sikhs image when the Australian pm was visiting India so Australia authorities would share their intelligence information on Sikhs living in Australia. India is just making fools out of western leaders because they’re too gullible.\n\nJust thinking if Hindus can do that to their own places of worship what they wouldn’t do? Like maybe even blowing up their own Indian airline in 1985 killing all passengers and then blaming it on Sikhs so they wouldn’t get any sympathy from the world when Indian government attacked the Golden Temple of the Sikhs in 1984 killing thousands of Sikh men women and children just to teach them lesson also so nobody would then support their cause for a homeland (Khalistan)?

It would have been better if Canada would have only allowed 'legal' immigrants, we wouldn't have had these terrorist issues..

Put a worker policy then you wouldn’t have them all come here

Hello Joyce, \nI’m just getting aware of this and wouldn’t be able to meet up with the General IELTS though I have The Academic IELTS with a band 6.5.\nWhat’s do you advice? \n\nI have all the needed documents except the general IELTS.

May God bless you. But I wouldn't make this choice for me ooopo. I no Strong at all ❤

Why was Olivia Chow elected if the city has sooo many social issues? What was the voter turnout? Wouldn't the citizens want a tougher and stronger mayor?

Attention: Your government doesn’t care about you whether you’re liberal or conservative. If they did, jobs would never be shipped overseas, veterans would be treated like royalty, and Ukrainians wouldn’t be prioritized before Americans.

Born and mostly raised in Toronto. Left in 2012 and will never go back. Never thought id end up despising my hometown but the Toronto im from doesn't exist anymore. At this point, i wouldn't piss on the city if it were on fire

Lost respect for Pierre on this one. I wouldn’t want to be within 100 feet of Trudeau let alone be smiling and laughing with him.

This is so very sad...while i dont believe in illegal immigration for the most part..I do believe WE ALL want bettwr for ourselves and our kids.. These people want the same.. It's not their fault they were born in another place.. The system is broken by greedy men.. There has to be a better way.. But we shouldn't have such hard hearts.. Not to want to help these poor families and children..\nLeaders should come together collectively that fixed their countries as best as they could.. And they wouldn't be fleeing... But so much corruption in leadership doesn't allow it. But we have to remember these people on our enemies.. We would do the same if we were in their shoes...

Thank you that served our country. Men and women fought for our country and this is a slap in the face. Washington did this and they won't shut it down. I wouldn't be shocked if we found they got money just coming over here..

If the US had left those people countries along in peace, we wouldn't be seeing these. America brought chaos in these people countries now look what is happening ?

Wellll letting tooo many immigrants arrive here when there are no places for them is insanity!!! It affects our health care and education facilities!!! Very sad we have so much land here and resources and we don't use it?? Why do we all have to crowd in one place--Southern Ontario??? Why not build up in Northern Ontario??? Our politicians are lazy and they reallyyy don't care about their citizens---if they did their wouldn't be any homeless!!! Again more population does not make for a better country!!!

I saw some oath keepers .and alot of prowd boys.maga is so dum.did they think we wouldn't notice.

If wasn’t for Toronto we wouldn’t have Trudeau and the dumb NDP, who have propped him and liberals up for the last three years. \nThis is what you get, they ramped up immigration. It’s tripled since 2015 annually. Last year we had record number population growth, over 1 million and 90% of it was immigration. Flooding Toronto and major cities in Canada with immigration, no simulation. Just imagine we have a recessional, how bad it will get. Pushing all this liberal nonsense like legal marijuana, how is a more drugged out society help anything, euthanasia it’s become the fourth cause of death in Canada. No value for actual life but all woke nonsense, flood more and more people into country, cities become crowded and expensive. Quality of life goes down . There’s no social cohesion, there’s nothing that holds a society together when you just like a hotel.\nWhat will happen in a decade when 70% of jobs are gonna be going to AI and automation. What are we gonna do with all these people?.

This has been going on since this administration took office. Every politician and the governors of the border state's should be impeached for not doing their job's. If you don't or can't do your job in the real world, you get fired. Why wouldn't it be even a higher standard for our so-called representatives? How great would America and citizens of be if they actually represented those they were voted to represent and held accountable. Imagine that ?

Born and raised in Toronto… My dad used to live on Toronto Islands..I lived St Clair & Mt Pleasant, St Joseph’s High School, Ryerson… used to be “Toronto the Good” I’m 71.. left in 2006… went back in 2018 and was HORRIFIED . Street fights on Yonge St… FILTH… I realized that things were going south.. when Ryerson wouldn’t allow it’s workers to say “ Merry Christmas’ SO HEARTBREAKING. Now in Ottawa… what can I say ??????

I’ve lived here for 11 years now and over the past 3 years, my perspective has changed. I am REALLLLLY looking at how I can leave, what other cities are out there for my industry/ if there are career opportunities else where. It’s sad because I love this city. I wouldn’t be who I am, if I never moved here. But things change and maybe it’s time to move forward

To every Democrat that voted for Joe Biden .\nYour inpart responsible for our country being invaded by those people .\nIf Joe Biden was never elected president, our country wouldn't have been invaded by these people .

It time to bring out the weapons and get these people to their home they wouldn't fight at there home why come here to starve we own them nothing no job no food no medical help just a ride back to there home how come Mexico doesn't stop them to

If I were rich I STILL wouldn't want to live in Toronto/GTA. I'd move immediately to Tokyo or some other part of Japan. Even if you could afford to live in the GTA why would you when there's so many nicer and more safe and peaceful places to live in? \n\nI've seen enough of Japan to know that that would be the place I'd love to live in. Somewhere where you don't have to worry about crime and violence happening in your city everyday. No shootings or stabbings or robberies or carjackings or scams etc. and where the vast majority of people are nice, kind and friendly and non-violent and non-criminal.\n\nThere's a Twitch livestreamer that I watch regularly that lives in Tokyo and he regularly leaves his $3000+ bike all over the city almost without a care in the world. All he has to do to secure his bike is to lock his bike wheel to the frame without even having to attach it to a pole or bike stand etc. so that no one steals it. That is when I knew that Japan is the place for me. When you can leave your expensive stuff alone and come back and its still there. That is the kind of society I wish to live in and be apart of.

lol if it was worth it they wouldn't be importing your black a33 in tons!

BIDEN AND KAMALA HAVE TO GO \nThese people should have never been in office. \nTheir actions before proved they wouldn’t be fit to govern. People hated Trump so much they sold there country for filth. \nTrue Americans have to rise up and take a stand on this governing body. \nWe can no longer tolerate this nonsense. \nThese people are receiving better aid than actual tax payers; and then throw in the Billions to Ukraine for measure.

Disclosing i only watched 3 mins of this. The issue is if international students will competly flood the schools and domestic students wouldn't get the chance for the education. It's why you pay more. Canada is one of the most desired places to live. I suggest looking internally and trying to fix your own goverments and communities if you have such an issue with it.

Indian pm is known terrorist to cia and had orchestrated genocide against Muslims in 2002. What wouldn't he do to silence a seperatist sikh which is legal even as per indian law.

I wouldn't like to live in any big city right now.

I wouldn’t put Quebec first. I was born in Quebec and we are one of the most taxed province. It takes 24h to wait at the emergency before seing a doctor (well usually at least 12hours of waiting). Some of my friends don’t have a family doctor since the past 8 years. And I would had this subject which is dark : suicide. I have some friends who work for the Montreal police and at least 1 per day throws himself in front of the metro ?.

His wouldn't be happening with trump in office. Democratic voters are responsible for all this crap happening in America....FJB....

If we had the president we had 4 years ago, you wouldn't see this type of lawlessness. Crossing the border illegally is against the law. Period.

If Canada didn't take in these refugees from halfway across the world, it wouldn't have such a large homeless problem.
