The area of land that is within a reasonable commute of a CBD is fixed. So any increase in population makes every square metre of that land more valuable and more expensive. Supply and demand. Any increase in the cost of housing is anti-baby making.. So importing foreigners discourages the local people from having families.

Start using force to defend our boarders .... I'm tired of my taxes and time going to dealing with this rather than shit that actually matters like family and the potholes that are old enough to vote around my town

It crazy to me that they would do anything to come over here but soon as they commit that crime and they scared, they run right back to their country to avoid prosecution. Im not racist and im all for making a better life for my family but go thru proper channels and to be honest we've reach full capacity. ....sorry

People complain about doctors leaving to the States for more money. But reality is, there is no job opening for new specialists finishing up fellowship. So they are pushed around diff hospital as part timer and they end up leaving. Family doctors are also pushed to become a hospitalists or to just become surgery assistant to avoid paperworks and fees that follow being family doctors. Our healthcare is becoming useless because our government is not grasping the reality.\n\nWe need more highways, a real metro system for to support its growing population with integrated infrastructure. If we need to construct more housing, make it possible for architects to build faster and make it easier to become an architect here too. What is wrong with our roads? Gardiner is being fixed and I hope not for 10years. \n\nThis government legalized drugs for taxation, but cannot control harder drugs invading our cities. Our parks are filled with needles...\n\nNow I am in the process of dual citizenship to move out while I retire. Because I dont want to be sick and wait for 10-20hours in the ER.

Rest of muslim world will support Palestine...leave Saudi family in their bubble...

Instead of promoting family values and encouraging young families to bring children, western countries bring in foreigners who often have completely opposite values, world views and lifestyle, refuse to assimilate and simply change the western society and its culture to the point where it cannot be recognised… ((

I live in rural Atlantic Canada. There is lots and lots of land not being used. People driving long distances from their huge single family home to get to town or the city. If no Canadians are moving to the country side to start homesteads, then why not immigrants. I don't see the point of someone moving to a local small town to work in a Tim Hortons or not if there is no job available and buy franken foods from huge corporations. Instead if some immigrants want a homesteading life (some probably would), give people grants to make apartments in their huge single family farmhouses left from the days when people had ten kids, and subdivide their land so the new people can farm it. The local people can get rent money and payment for the subdivision and still have a large plot of land left over). Grow the local farmers markets! Grow the small towns to what they were 100 years ago! Make it so people only had to drive to the city when they wanted to, not for work. There is so so much empty land out here used for massive lawns.

So many people come and commit crimes, ignore our laws and live off the government. We needed certain skilled people and I could care less what country they come from as that immigration is crucial to our economy and population. Right now there isn't enough housing for our own citizens. It's irresponsible. If families want to sponsor an immigrant family that's awesome. The rest of us want our tax money actually going to our citizens. That's not racist, that's common sense.

The Ukrainian men where made to stay and fight and thousands upon thousands died but these cowards flee and leave their families.

??????????? please assist us how to prepare international Cv . God Bless You. \nNeed to join if not coming with my family in Canada

I like multiculturalism and this country is founded on immigration. But we need to put cap on each country when receiving them so to maintain the balance of good mix.\n\nI get bothered why this guy statistically divide white vs others. In the end this land belongs to the indigenous people none of us. \n\nAnyways, most of my friends from Western Europe, Japan, Korea and Singapore - first world nations, have already moved back after couple of years of living here. Aa a dual citizen myself, I plan on retiring in my other country.\n\nThis country has to realize if they receive massive influx of people- they need to invest and build more infrastructure. Look at Gardiner- it's constantly on construction mode. Hire more surgeons and make better family doctor system. This government only legalized marijuana and brought more problems. We used to live near Trinity bellwood and the park is now filled with used needles. \n\nAs for homelessness, it's always been there and it got worse during economic depression (2008 mortgage crisis) and current prime rate/inflation situation. Even if you study stats from government subsidized housing, most immigrants work and get out of help but the old immigrants (whites) usually don't flip out of the situation for generations. So there is no reason to tie and blame the Indians for our old problem of homeless population. Stay on point and stop tying it down with non-related issues.

I'm an indian immigrant to Canada myself, my family moved here in the 00s. We worked hard to integrate and build a new life for ourselves here. The new migrants are a disgrace and an embarrassment. I hope the govt does something to address this soon, they're turning canada into a slum

...so after this aired...her family, friends, acquaintances and employer still see her as a good person?

European Union now must protect itself from the invasion. It became less safe and less stable partly because of the immigrants that claim that they can do whatever they want.\n\nThe family from this video that tried to reach EU wasn't safe in Turkey? They just wanted to go to a wealthier country and impose their desire over the law of that country. That is not acceptable. As not acceptable is the lack of protection of european culture and values, of the european citizens from the illegal immigrant invasion

Renting is the worst business in Canada. And the Toronto, Ontario and Canada Governements wonder why there is shortage of rental accommodations. I can easily accommodate one family in my home. But I know if there is an epidemic like Covid and the tenant does not pay the rent, I will be screwed. And rather than have a plan that can enable a tenant own a home, the Governments mentioned have plans that will make the landlord bankrupt and become a tenant! The tenancy laws are bad, bad, bad!

In terms of civil rights in identity obsessed Canada, where equal rights no longer exist, the Singh family aren't at the top of the ladder. You poor folks lost out. You'll get nothing and the judges will laugh at you. Trudeau might spare you his middle finger.

Stop renting then. 1 property, 1 family home. No rentals.

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.

Those royal families rely on Western protection from isreal so they donr care

The EU considers Turkey a safe 3rd country, so why does this family feel they have a right to travel to the EU?

Some people like to dunk on landlords but they forget that landlords do this as a means to make money just like any other job. As someone who also owns land, I know the frustrations of when a tenant doesn't adhere to the rules and uses the law to their advantage. It's gross. There are other people and even families who would want to have a roof over their heads yet selfish exploiters prevent such people from having a place to call home.

THIS IS DISGUSTING WHAT THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS INSTIGATED BY PROMISING SO MANY BENEFITS IF YOU INVADE OUR AMERICAN BORDERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD. WHEN OUR OWN VETERANS ARE LIVING IN THE STREETS HOMELESS AND WITH P.T.S.D.!-- ENTIRE FAMILIES ARE HOMELESS FROM SKY HIGH RENTALS THEY CAN NOT AFFORD A ROOF OVER THERE FAMILIES HEAD DO OVERPRICED FOR PROFIT. THESE NORMAL FAMILIES HAVE TOLERATE LIVING IN THE STREETS WITH PEOPLE WITH DRUG AND CRIME ADDICTION DO TO MENTAL ILLNESS FROM OVER PRESCRIBING OPIATE PAINKILLERS FROM THE PHARMACIST AND MEDICAL BOARD FOR PROFIT. THIS ADMINISTRATION REGULATES THE POLICE DEPARTMENTS, BORDER PATROL TO ENFORCE AMERICAN WRITTEN JUDICIAL LAWS. WHAT A CIRCUS AND WORLD WIDE EMBARRASSMENT TO OUR ANCESTORS BOTH NATIVE AND SETTLERS WHO SUFFERED AND ALL HAD LOSSES ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. BUT AMERICA WAS BUILT ON THOSE HISTORICAL EVENTS. WHAT AN INSULT TO ALL OUR ANCESTORS WHO SUFFERED TO BUILD A COUNTRY AND A BETTER FUTURE FOR IT'S LAW ABIDING CITIZENS.?

The people already living in the countries that a Trillion of immigrants want to go to can not afford to pay more tax dollars to support these people. SEND THEM BACK!!! ? we have families to support, no money left to support strangers!!!!

No thanks to carpala aka Kamala I hope one of these illegals who she let in and basically bailed out of jail or already have a bad record find there way into her home when no ones there see how she feels then no harm to her innocent family intended so that’s why I said when no one’s there Kamala would probably invite them in for dinner and talk it over that’s how much of a loose cannon she is

if you claim Asylum then you get 80k tax free through out the year. every indian family does it and it’s 80k per person

I have only been in Canada for seven months now, but I noticed a few things about its economy that led to this mess. I noticed that Canada has no globalized companies, meaning the government only makes a little money from doing business with other nations. Businesses here are lazier than their neighbor, the USA, or even in my country, Vietnam, which could be due to a lack of competitors. Cad also has the biggest forest reserve and largest oil deposit but is the lowest exporter. So I wonder how on Earth it stays in the top 10 wealthiest countries with such lazy activities. Up to this point, foreigners are the biggest income of Canada; this country is truly built on immigrants. To keep the country running, it must attract more foreigners. Without int' students, how much do citizens have to pay to keep schools running? If you view it differently, the government also sells the PR through SV Visa because, let's be honest, if millions of investors have invested, there should be something or at least one globalized company, but there are none. From $75k to $200k, foreigners can buy PR for every family member. It is considered affordable for Asian families compared to the USA or Australia. On top of that, another scam is a carbon tax, which means the government needs to learn how to make money rather than invent taxes and sell dreams to foreigners.

Some basement apartments in Brampton have 5 to 8 single people, individuals, not necessarily family members, living together to share the rent

Im a teenager living in Toronto and its hard seeing rent for my cramped apartment go up when its already hard for family to pay. The only way I think I can be happy is to move away as so many people come in to the country I hold dear.

I heard most of families in Canada only have one or two children. They need immigrants to keep their way of living and us immigrants bring family members, friends, family. decisions are made to stay and this is a problem we have

Everywhere else in the world this is called invasion and they would shoot you at the border Democrats have caused war everywhere invasion of US soil and btw im a immigrant I came over here in a plane which btw we saved up for a year and a half to get tickets for and luckily we won the lottery fir a ten year work visa the fact that it was a miracle for my family to get here work hard and become citizens legally and these people can just rush in, democrats are the biggest threat to democracy

All thus spoken by a Saudi Prince, leading member of a family that drove out the Hashemites from their ancient role in Mecca and Medina. They had yo leave their hand because the Saudis wanted it.

Similar things happening in parts of Australia, high rents people being pushed out of suburbs where they use to live, Immigrants, uni students doing Uber or Doordash just to get by and finding careers they study for won’t exist or over saturated. Families living in tents as houses they go for have multitude of applications not enough affordable infrastructure,\nWe also need smart migration

Never met an immigrant who didn’t want to bring the rest of his/her family out to Canada… how else do you think they just multiply ?

I arrived in 2012 originally from Australia. I’m now a citizen and I learned a trade here too. I’m on a decent wage and I can’t keep up and can’t imagine I’ll ever own my own home here. We’re not against immigration but it needs to be slowed dramatically by about 90% for a few years. I’m being forced back to Australia to seek financial help from my family to hopefully purchase a property back there. The Canadian dream is dead and there’s also to many Indians here.

35 years ago, newcomers had to assimilate. Now, they show up and refuse to integrate. They just continue engaging in their own ethnic fiefdoms. This is offensive to Canadians. Also, young Canadian people cannot afford to start families. So, our communities are being destroyed in favour of newcomers.

I got laid off 5 weeks ago ( no renewal of contract).. after 7 years working for that NFP.. I applied for snap and unemployment… while applying for jobs( social worker field)… first, they ask for so many documents… including my bank account….( again I was laid off .. not fired nor left my job, nor finding reasons not to work all those years ), department of labor had a mandated zoom meeting to discuss what I needed to do 4 weeks after I was laid off( like i don’t know)… I ve been working for years and paying taxes… a lot of them in NYC, I was also told that I have to show what I am doing to search for work and eventually should take a job( even if the salary is low..ridiculous)… I was also informed that I may get a call from investigator from DOL..they may call individuals receiving unemployment benefits($441 a week after taxes?)… to verified that I was searching and applying for jobs( even though I enter my activities related to work weekly on their website…..)….. meanwhile… people with 0 legal documentation are entering the US and living here, free snap, free housing, free health insurance!!!! Lala land!!!! Can’t wait for this non sense to stop!!! Every corner of NY , you see families begging for money. Food…I feel bad as a human being, but refuse to help or I ll be joining them too… welfare system needs to change too! The politics NEED to change!!!All the best !

No family doctors accepting patients, crime on the rise, dirty streets, Toronto is not what it use to be even 10 years ago!

Hi I'm looking for employer to move in Canada. I would love to work and live there with my family one day.

My heart goes out to my fellow Canadians, it also feels so heavy watching this because we see it on a daily basis & it eats you up so deeply. I honestly couldn’t watch this fully without constant tears flowing. I was born and raised here, my grandfather fought for this country & I have First Nation family members. Canada is not what it used to be, it’s beauty deserves respect.

Get Chinese companies to build more houses. how hard is that?\nThe Western world should learn from China. The CCP literally housed 1 billion people in 10 years with low income economy. Why can't the west do that? oh wait because they are corrupt. If they build more houses the corporates can't make money out of family housing

Family immigrated there in 85. Back then my parents needed to prove and bring certain assets as part of the requirements. \n\nNow it seems they don’t really care, just come in with nothing, and the first thing to figure out is how to get the gov to pay out to sustain.\n\nHow this change came about… got no idea. \n\nAnd when looking at it culturally, that has changed as well. Being Chinese, we brought along our traditions. Those were celebrated and introduced to other Canadians, and it was a joyous thing. That being said, Canadian culture should come first and foremost. That should be understood. You are living underneath someone else’s roof, you should learn their culture and accept it. If not, why are you there.\n\nNowadays, it feels like it is a right to alter, and place your original culture above that of Canada’s. That’s just weird. Why did you move there in the first place if you can’t accept and get along with everyone else there.\n\nI decided to move back to Hong Kong because I didn’t like it, and for people that feel the same, get out of there. People that want to stay in Canada should be contributing, and live like a Canadian.\n\nProud to be Canadian, but it feels different now. Only hear crimes and homelessness, drugs… gun violence. How things have changed in these past 25 years or so.\n\nI do hope the gov wakes up. But yeah, not betting on it. Wish my fellow Canadians the best of luck. It’s a pity that groups fighting for this issue is being called racist. Utterly ridiculous… the power of the western media. ?

Oh ya, and i have PRIVATE health insurance that covers a PRIVATE VIP room, and sleeping area for family if something happens.. for wait for it...$50 a month.. FIFTY CDN DOLLARS AS MONTH PEOPLE!!!!!. you are all insane with STOKHOLM SYNDROME if you stay in this communist country. Also you are capped here to 10% income tax as a foreigner.. thats if you even PAY the tax.

The rise of of these problems across western nations and the anger and frustration is because of failed economic policies that has left a vast majority of the population struggling to cope with high costs of living and lack of stability in their ability to provide for their families!! Immigration unfortunately is the catalyst that lights the inferno and is also the most visible scapegoat to some very deep underlying issues in society and the economy! Do you think these events will still occur if people not struggling economically/financially???

For people who complain about Canada and wanna move back think twice, thrice and n more number of times.\nLife is expensive here and it's cheap nowhere. Taxes are high but the benefits are worth it. In my country, I gave up 30% of my salary purely for my children's school and bus fare, which is torally free of cost here.\n\nI was well versed with my local language and had a specialist dentist degree but still no job, whereas here even a mere DDS (undergraduate dentist) with poor English mints money.\n\nWhen i was jobless this country bore with me 70% of my family's total expenditure thru benefits and schooled plus comfortably yet freely transported my child which none of our home countries ever did (even Govt schools in my country charge a minimal fee and pupils' standard is deplorable).\nSo, yes, Canada is not a bed of roses to start with, but we never came from a bed of roses ?\n\nAnd one final note to people praising the US - ATLEAST I CAN VISIT A SHOPPING MALL IN CANADA AT PEACE THAT I WONT BE SHOT AT ?

As a Canadian, immigration is a net positive. Immigration primarily based on international students at bogus community colleges and family reunification visas for people who have no chance to get a high paying job and contribute to our public services is not.

My family has been in Canada since before Canada was Canada and I don't care what others say about me because no matter what we say, we are called racists and that's why so many of us have been afraid to say anything for years and yet look what our silence has gotten us - a country where people can't afford to live and where teens can't get jobs because East Indians have taken all of the jobs. We can't afford to buy a house and for that matter we can't afford to buy food. \n \nThis is not the Canada that I grew up in !!!!!!!!!! It's a Disgrace !!!!!!!!!!!!

These immigrants are driving our streets without a driver's license or insurance and are being let go by law enforcement. I wonder how many would be let go to drive on the streets if an officer let's one go just to find out his family has been killed 10 minutes after letting the driver back on the roads.\nThere is no law people

Me and my family moved to Canada ?? 8 years ago. Today we have our own house, brand new car and some commodities. It has been tough to say the least. Competition with other immigrants on school spots, jobs, promotions, etc. All of us want to succeed, to live the Canadian dream. And to move up is possible but takes time, effort, and a lot of work.
