They follow the guy to interview him and when he finally speaks the commenter just talks over him. I wanted to hear what he had to say.

Very nice comment. Thank you? now its the time that something has to change.

The amount of brain dead comments here is astonishing. So when you see what you want to see you call it the ultimate truth but when you’re not so pleased with what you’re seeing you start saying that there is a bias?

800 braindead comments

There is only one way to fix the system that leads to this problem, they are all integrated. We need cooperation and this is only possible with trust, known as faith. Not only do we need faith in each other we have to have faith in God because it is through our shared faith in God that we can extend this faith to his people. Only Christians can accept this and they do not accept it fully, which is why we are in the problems we are. This is a very general comment, the specifics are available. The church is a cooperative. The HS works through cooperation, which means, without a cooperative church the work of the HS is hindered, which is why we are in the mess we are in. Its all solvable, all of it.

Not worth commenting

Anyone who's in Canada, there's going to be mass protests across the country on Canada Day against mass immigration. It's called Take Back Canada and they're happening all over the country so take a look at which ones are happening near you and get out there, let's do more than just comment on Youtube and actually show our governments we won't tolerate this destruction of our country! I know they're happening for sure in Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa, but there should be some in other cities too!

There has definitely been a lot of change in the ethnic makeup of Brampton over the years. I can't say that it bothered me; I lived there for 31 years with no issues. I left in Sept '22, but ethnic makeup had nothing to do with it.\nThis seems aimed at stirring up negative feelings toward immigrants. Carefully couched, but unmistakeable. As the other comments bear out.

The comments on this video reveal the extensive research that went into its production.\n\nPensions, taxes, birth rates, and immigration are key factors that all governments consider before setting quotas. Government policies and decisions are primarily driven by data and statistics, not emotions. Governments must strike a balance between maintaining freedoms, ensuring a functioning civil service, promoting economic growth, managing immigration, and securing long-term survival and relevance.\n\nAs a settler in this Indigenous land, I acknowledge that global politics have contributed to excessive migration, which has strained the system. There are numerous dynamics at play.\n\nHowever, I remain optimistic. With improvements in the global order, we can continue to rise with glowing hearts.

I am not A Canadian I’m an American, but I interact with lots of Canadians as they find themselves coming down here for one reason to the other and I’m not near the border either. I’m quite far into the US in a major US city.\n\nThere are two types of Canadians that distinct themselves. The first group is the ones that are themselves immigrants that are naturalized. I make this distinction because many cases they have not assimilated. They still have their own culture from another country and is pointed out by the narrator people from south Asia and Asia strongly have their culture And language \n\n( Canada is good for allowing people to live in communities to cut themselves off from the main screen. You have people who speak the Ukrainian language Going Back 4 generations)\n\nThen I’m gonna have to use a euphemism that might make peoples hair stand on the back of their neck. I’m gonna call them. The white Canadians has a euphemism. These are people who are going so far back from the British Isles for the most part and the French also speak another language who have no connection to Europe. The English-speaking Canadians who are you from white could walk down or come down to the US and fit right in in a matter of weeks if they’re not already assimilated into the US Culture ( I hope I don’t see any fireworks start coming from this comment) Many of these white Canadians are now more economically disadvantage than the newer Asian and south Asian immigrants and find themselves often times competing for resources with these newer immigrants. Many immigrants more effectively when it comes to investment funds and banking as they formed their own little cocoon communities that don’t interact with the white Canadians.\n\nUnderstandably the white Canadians feel like they’re shut out, unappreciated by the government and now disadvantage and if they raise any protest, they’re called racist and white supremacist. \n\nJust so you know, I am not a white American, but I have an immigrant father from East Asia and I have relatives of my fathers who are also from the same Asian country who immigrated the Canada that I’m in contact with\n\nCulturally when I run into white Canadians, what I noticed is that their diction and speech is so clean clear and polished. It’s almost like they went to a finishing school or a low level class in diplomacy and public speaking many of these people come off like human resource people in the US because their culture is one of accommodation and consideration for other people they know how to be mindful of other people and these are great qualities\n\nYes, the Canadian government is messing up right now and they’re gonna wind up, ruining the social cohesion of their country if they have any and also wasting their human capital

See even the imigrants think respond to these comments are sadly ruining canada its your fault for coming in like a flood and ruining our comunities and our culture

Without telling us your heritage of which country your parents came from, you do not have any right to comment on another country. So F off.

Wow, well my message got deleted. Why my message explaining some history gets deleted and these other blatantly racist comments stay up is beyond me. Not worth supporting a channel that is censoring it's comment section. Bye.

Good video and some very fair comments myself being an immigrant as well. I only got into Canada from being in the trades and it was a trade that Canada wanted and I’ve been here now for 35 years \nWe all know the common sense we all know having immigrants into a country on the whole is a good it’s when the demands from immigrants start affecting her culture Norway of life instead of changing our culture and our way of life. You all have options and choices in life and they can go home , as we all know it, the passport has been given to us is a privilege not an expectation

Going to be hard to have an honest conversation about immigration when the second most popular comment on this video is alt-right clap trap.

So much ignorance in the comments. A lot of people say the man was right and that this is not harassment. Well this is what muslim women have to deal with basically on a daily basis. Having men/people shout at you to die, curse at you and just simply be rude. If you support that it just says a lot about your character. It is really sad that so many people lack decency. I too don‘t like every person I see on the streets but that doesn‘t mean I go after them and curse them. That seems like a mentally unstable thing to do… so yeah your support of that man just underlines the overwhelming islamophobia which also stems from ignorance. Maybe try to better yourselves peeps and learn things from the right sources. If you try to learn history you don‘t go to your math teacher for that so learn about Islam from reliable islamic sources and while researching about this war look at both sides please. That‘s the least we can do. Also I always thought that‘s common sense but seems like not a lot of people have that anymore…?

Never ever disrespectful towards a Religion Islam I dare you all I bet you all to do then you will say what happens next to all of you! So delete all comments why lead towards disrespect! Or the conscious won't be good!.

Also, don’t forget, our government funded news organization (CBC) does not allow comments on YouTube.

Sun mera ek comment aayega is baat pr uske baad sabke hosh udd jayenge

I am from India, specifically from Punjab. I fully support your cause to stand up for your country and speak up to bring about positive change in the long term. However, I would like to emphasize the importance of being open-minded and recognizing faults on both sides. \n\nSome of the comments made about Khalistani issues seem underresearched. It is crucial to thoroughly assess the situation to avoid potential long-term damage to Canada's reputation. It's essential to present well-researched facts from both perspectives and encourage improvement on both sides.

lol 90% of your comments are flaming you ??

It’s good to see such beautiful comments targeting just Indians.? well your insecurities are justified with over talented Indians but if u really care about your people and country then focus on the problem. Not all immigrants are same. \n1. Who pays fees study work and pay taxes and contribute to the economy \n2. Whom your government choose to bring for free give benefits to them who are thrown out of their own country and they exploityour system and increase crimes. But you guys keep all immigrants on same page..\nI am not going down to the colonial loot or else most of you will start crying ?

The only privilege that international students should receive is the opportunity to study here. \n\nOnly one of the students made a sensible comment.\n\n“If the country needs you, they will take you in. Not the other way around “

Jays comments are absolutely right. 90% of Indians are on fraudulent paper's they leave there country on visitors permit and the moment they get here they apply for refugees. Students just want to come to Canada, once they are here who cares about college or university. They just want to make money so they can send it back to India. This is how our government operates.

From Reddit: “ I’m in Ontario and it’s all been largely people from India. They just broke up a human trafficking ring that was comprised of 6 people, all with the last name Singh.\n\nThere have been 1 or 2 honor killings in the last 2 years as well.\n\nAnd everytime someone posts about the outrageous lines of people applying for jobs- those lines are almost completely the same colour. There might be 1 or 2 non-Indians in a line of 200+ people applying for a job.\n\nTo the point that even my Indian coworkers have commented about how the worst of India is making its way here.“

The comments have sooooo not passed the vibe check mashAllah this is exactly the point why you guys are going i wish you soooo much prosperity and health and happiness ♥️??? mashAllah you are really following Allahs path i hope i will find the same strength. \n\nOne last thing: when the settlers do it its okay .. but soon you guys dont have to see this hate anymore im so happy for you ♥️

If it was some gulf country then the comment section would be different. Western country treat indians like alien

I feel lot of this started as a solution to solve the population crisis, and now immigration has ended up as Canada's addiction. People who run out of visa should leave, sure, but it's basic human instinct to try and stick to the better place. Also, if you don't bring value to the country, you will be the first victim of deportation. If you had a valuable skill or strong academic accolades you would not be kicked out, but because you don't, you are getting kicked out, which is more than fair when a country cannot house you without hurting its own population. Two sides to all coins. \nThat said, I see that while the anonymous hate towards immigrants was always there, this atmosphere has changed the humble and polite Canadians into angry ones in open. I think it is government's fault for bringing people here, so we should point our anger correctly. They could ve stopped it at any point in time, but they didn't, and now people who came here like this good life, and yes it is coming at the expense of Canadians. I agree to that, but again, it's the government who bought them here, and filled their pockets, now as humans, immigrants want to stay at a better place. \nIf your read the whole comment. Hopefully, you will be calmer than before on immigrants, show the famous Canadian honour and politeness and point your anger at the right place because I fear this unsettling atmosphere will be good for no one. Thanks.

so much racism, so many tropes, so many un Canadian white people. \n\nAs for the white Canadians, they are not displaced by newcomers, kindly keep that in mind.\n\nAlso Harrison, you picked out a comment that was skewed and you repeated it. \n\nIndia has been high on the on the list of migrants for many years and this not mixing trope applies to immigrants from across the World.

Waiting for any Zionist to comment on this????

These comment section filled with Anti-Indian Hate. \nCanadian Immigration system is a Point Based System which means who ever have higher points will be awarded the Green Card or Work Permit. \nIndians are super competitive when it comes to immigration ? with their Levels of English, Education, Social support from society, French skills and Employment in High skills and young pool of people. Indians beat everyone. Meanwhile, Chinese ?? Language is WRITTEN all over on Vancouver Airport with Canadian ?? Tax money ? and Vancouver being Chinese island now. No one talks about. Indians assimilate in western society, without forcing their religion on to others, like many fake refugees from Muslim world.\nIndians commit most least crimes unlike many Blavk people.\nIndians don’t need government assistance like Natives and Indians pay taxes in highest numbers.\nIndians directly compete with White Canadians and that is the reason there is so much hate for them as others feel inferior and dominate power feel their dominance is in question. ?

More ironic comments from NON indigenous people of Canada - based from colonial narratives

This comment section makes me physically gag. Do me a favor and just search up the word Palestine on youtube. Come back and tell me what you saw. Maybe seeing the plain and suffering they're going through, and Israel mocking them will let you see both sides of the suffering.

lol as usual the brown racist channel with racist commentators in the comment section. I wanna catch this guy and have an interview with him myself.

TRUDOPE has completely destroyed the CANADIAN way of AFFORDABLE LIVING!!!!!\nCBC HAS TURNED OFF COMMENTS SECTION because everyone does not like WACKO BOY!\nSTART SHIPPING GIMMEGRATS BACK TO THEIR OWN COUNTRY....PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!\nTRUDOPE IS A CHICKEN SMITTT TO CALL AN ELECTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, talk, commenting, but who is going to stop globalist government and politicians? Funny, on 3:05 guy is from Pakistani and he thinks that there are too many hindus coming, whole world knows that they do not get along with hindus but Hindu woman on 13:50 works in immigration and her talking is not clear, can not hear english words and to put her in immigration is to open all borders for the whole india.

excellent interviews it's great the way you drew out comments from them - I do agree the old way of vetting immigrants compared to now just let anyone in is running rampant not just here but all western countries at the same time with the same result, underlying question is why all of a sudden ?

I like the comments!! I want to thank this person!!!

Our feds are actively promoting with advertising to come to Canada in India. I don't know this for sure but a few Indians have posted comments to this effect to me...So, I don't so much as blame the Indians for wanting to come when our government is actively promoting such things. It seems to fly in the face of what a lot of Canadians want these days and they haven't gone out of their way to inform the Canadian public that they are doing such things, but the mood in this country has really gone sour in the last few years and the feds either don't care or are too incompetent to know that...

The version I'm seeing here doesn't contain the racist comments; can someone link to the full video?

Can't read your comments on the screen bc they're behind the subscribe button. A lot of channels have this problem. Maybe put the comments at the top of the screen. I wonder if any of these creators even look at their final product.

I hate that all indians get a bad image because of this. Most come just for opportunity, gujarati, people from Mumbai, and some honest punjabi's. But all comments I ever see about are related to uneducated punjabi immigrants that are causing the problems. People back in the day used to have to show competence before coming here, these days almost anybody can come. My parents came here in 2005 and we always matched the canadian values, while holding on to our routes. Its a disgrace what trudeau has done

Gosh the hate and xenophobia against Indians in the comments is appalling. I agree the level of immigration is bad and government is letting it run out of hand. I also agree that many of these Indian students aren’t fit for a Canadian life and integration and a lot many folks from India are gaming the system but the Canadian government is not doing anything and it’s a big problem. But it’s sad that Canadians are hating on all Indians.

Wishing you guys all the best! I'm not Muslim, but I can relate very much to trying to raise a family in a place and environment that is conducive to the values my husband and I hold dear. It's great you're both on the same page as you lead your family to a place where you all have peace. I've read through some of the comments. Idk, I get where you guys are coming from as parents and for that, much respect! ❤

Its Funny how MOSTLY WHITE PEOPLE are commenting how immigrants who came there lawfully want to practice their religion. Same white people that colonized the country and ethnic cleansed the natives and their culture and imposed their European ways . Genociding and destroying the owners of the cohmuntry while pretending to be civilised. The utter hypoCRISSY.

Never comment on someone's weight. I have had several people from other cultures think that is OK. Also, never ever ask or assume a woman is pregnant. Even if you are helping her deliver the baby never mention it. I was a little bloated once and a new Canadian thought it was sweet to mention that it is exciting to see my little baby bump showing. Huge mistake in Canada, huge. Other cultures think these comments are fine, in Canada it is very rude.

this video is a joke. ive seen so many stats in the comments get corrected. life is hard in Canada but lets not make shit up.

Red dots ,men in dresses,these comments r obvious plebian and puerile, u r dragging yourself down to racist levels ,if you have to comment a sensible response might be constructive. Still waiting .
