Our once beautiful Canada is sadly disappearing, thank you for this video. Just a small note, Ottawa is the capital of Canada, Toronto is the capital of Ontario.

I work in a shelter in Toronto and all I see is corruption and misuse of donations and money granted. The people that work with the homeless are amazing and want the best for them. Management and high ups only care about money.

Have you been to Vancouver's DTES along Hastings St? I think the number out weighs Toronto's

Honestly I live in Toronto for a few decades and still living,is this really Toronto ? Or other parts of the world . Seriously I never saw any place like that in Toronto!

If we are speaking about Toronto Canada then what about Dubai one of the tourism destinations, they also suffer from these …..

Hamilton is worse than Toronto.

wow so very very sad to see how Toronto crumpled.

I see more immigrants and people who barely speak any English than people who are were actually born here Toronto is getting so bad I’ve been on the ttc sandwiched between two dudes doing crack and they were losing there shit

Canadian immigration is completely out of control. Toronto is just one example, MANY other city's/towns are experiencing a very similar situation to this. Thank you for making this video and showing the world how fucked up it really is.

That’s crazy how bad Toronto is getting.

I been living in Toronto my whole life and in 2024 I have seen more homeless people now than every before. The cost of living is ridiculous.

Toronto is not the capital of Canada.

Toronto is a good city TO BE FROM! NOT LIVE! Even people with good well paying jobs can't afford to live in Toronto! So it's no surprise that Toronto is the homeless capital of Canada! The housing costs in Toronto are absolutely ridiculous!

Toronto and vancouver looks like another Delhi or mumbai

Toronto is such a diverse city that I'm surprised you got only one coloured person to interview in this video, great leading questions too bro, definitely no bias here either.

Living in Toronto, I've seen this city degrade year after year in so many aspects and no-one seems to give a damn to offer anything but platitudes. \n\nIt's sad that the apathy from politicians and people has brought us to this point.

Toronto is NOT Canada ! They are very fine universities in other cities which are more affordable! Universities and university-colleges in the prairie provinces for example.

Just little portion of people returning to India, however more are arriving to Toronto, 800'000 annually, and check out videos proving it!

@GavinBarry here is proof homelessness is an industry. Windsor ontario started the heated bus around the same time as toronto.

I just lived in toronto for 3 months its insane the homelessness

I make 38 dollars an hour just outside of toronto. I cant afford a house. Its getting bad. Im scared for the future for me and my family.

Thanks for making this video and spreading the truth of what's happening in Toronto. As someone born and raised in this city, I would sadly have to say to stay away from here now. In the past I would have said this is one of the best cities to live in. It was a great city and now it's a dead city.

i got attacked by a homeless person last time i was in toronto

Grew up in the 80s in Toronto and it was awesome. This is not awesome.

As someone from Toronto, mostly everything is true. So many homeless and drug addicts downtown. So many immigrants and people from other cultures it’s like they are taking over. Toronto is for sure going though some changes to say the least for sure. That’s before the very high rent that you can barely afford.

I also don’t get the main message of video. Basically you imply that homelessness in toronto is a result of mass immigration and the immigrants taking housing spots. The facts and research show that it’s not the case at all, and is actually a global trend in housing due to interest rates and the economy. This video has a slightly xenophobic tone and should not be taken as realistic in any sense of the word. Do you research, disappointing video

i'm old, born in Toronto and have seen this all before, this too shall pass.

Never seen a Hindi or Iraq living on the streets Toronto. Wonder why

I’ve certainly never heard a debate in Ontario whether Toronto is better than Ottawa—-the whole video is absurd and sophomoric—Canadian universities have many ‘internal’ students? You mean ‘international’? There are positive and negative aspects of living in every province—overall Canada has an exceptional standard of living without the gun violence and religious fanaticism of its neighbour to the south ??

Nah hamilton worse. Toronto use to bus homless to hamilton ?

Im about an hour away from toronto and its just as bad in small towns \nJob shortages\nCrazy home/rent prices \nHomelessness \nFood is gold \n\nIve noticed too that if you divide the money the government says there spending on the homless issue by the amount of homeless in given area said tax money is allocated too you seem to get crazy high numbers so quite clearly they profit off this somehow so why would they ever want the problem to end

I live in Toronto

I came to Toronto in 1986, and there was way more homelessness back then.

It is a damn disgrace that Canadian citizens are back of the line while immigrants get preferential treatment and all sorts of grants and incentives. I think white canadians are going to be the minority very soon.My small town 80 km north of Toronto has gone from 99.5%white to about 15% east Indian in a matter of a year and a half.The pressure on our infrastructure,health care,resources is going to destroy everything. This is all orchestrated to diminish the voice and influence of those who built this country.Trudeau is bringing in votes, same as Biden. They basically have imported life time Liberal voters.I wouldn't doubt they are obligated contractually to vote for Trudumb and his WEF goofs.No help for health care,homeless people but billions for immigrants and war. We are headed for disaster.Since they are renaming streets they might as well rename Toronto to Mumbai>

I wasn't born in Canada, but raised in small city of Fredericton since 10 and moved to Toronto for jobs and school in 2014. I don't even recognize my country anymore, it is such a big shame. At least, I had experienced a simple Canadian dream life back in New Brunswick.

My husband & I used to be one of those homeless people on those Toronto streets. The shelters are a big joke! We were both born & raised here

This is all Trudeaus fault. Toronto used to be the most beautiful, fastest growing, safest cities in North America but after 8 years of Trudeau it’s just any other shit hole city in the US. It’s time to bring it home

I am a canadian living in Toronto, and I am absolutely sickened and disgusted by this place.

As someone who lives just outside of Toronto, the city has devolved in so many ways over the years. This is a huge problem that needs to be addressed ASAP.

It does not help that most choose Toronto instead of many other major cities or smaller towns across the country. Things will only get worse unfortunately

I live in Toronto this is so crazy. Everything is full no where for anyone to go.

Vancouver wayyy worse, Toronto way easier then Vancouver

Great coverage man, fellow Toronto YouTuber here. I think your channel will do well. Thx for shedding light on the situation. Going to look at the rest of your channel- if you haven't already, can you cover the rising rents in newer condos that don't have rent control, pls??

Get these refugees and students out of here. Toronto is a homless city.

i live north of toronto, all the immigrants are literally ruining this country. so sad

It’s sad Toronto was a decent place 20 years ago, the last 10 years has been rough and the last 3 has turned it into a hell hole

TORONTO IS NOT THE Capital

Toronto is an embarrassment to Canada, but Canada is an embarrassment to the free world at this point, there's no hope for Canadians....

Toronto is bad but Vancouver is honestly so much worse. Its sad seeing this country fall so much from grace and seeing so many people struggling. Needless to say, insightful video. Keep it up

More video neede of toronto homles problem now ..pronto.
