also, people are allowed to prefer people of their own culture. stop policing this

I live in Jamaica, this is a black country. I get followed in our supermarkets, for this reason I dont go to supermarkets anymore, I allow my wife to go.\n\n\nI dont go anymore because I get offended. Why? because we have a problem of stealing and following me is accusing me of being a thief.\n\n\nI noticed that if I stop at a supermarket on my way home from work I dont get followed, my suit and tie changes my profile.\n\n\nThe problem is that the high incidence of theft is carried out by men and women who look and dress a certain way. Here's the thing, not only casually dressed or thug-looking people steal, it turns out that thieves come in a wide cross section. One supermarket displays empty Blue Mountain coffee bottles on their shelves because ladies steal them by placing them in their handbags on their way home from work.\n\n\nThe problem is that we need to change our reputation. If any group or caste of people have the highest rates of bad behavior, it will affect everyone fitting such description.

Open borders is the cause of the increase in racism. You allow people in to people's towns unregulated and people will be unwelcomeing. Especially when the government has given us reason to be worried about exactly who is here and that will make people judge based on physical characteristics. It's not right but maybe the government should ask why this is happening I stead of demonizing the citizens. It gives the impression that the government wants the immigrants and not the citizens which causes division.

I am actually shocked by people in the comment here. All talked like you knew a lot of things of immigration and citizenship. Loll but many don’t even know the first thing, the difference between permanent residence and citizenship. Immigration jail is referred to PR required living time in Canada. PR don’t have a Canadian passport and only citizens can have it. Once you are a Canadian citizen, you don’t need to live in Canada for a required time. China does not allow dual citizenship and that is why they try to scam the system to make up the living time in Canada.

I believe everyone should be allowed to come to America as free as they would like to, with the exceptions of European and white people who the same people as the ones who invaded America and stole America from the original owners. That's right , by law they should be banned from entering America again.

$50,000 is almost 3 years of my income for two people. How can people coming from the U.S. be "refugees"? Many so-called "refugees" that are Muslim have absolutely NO intent to integrate because their ideology says they must not, but to supplant the current Canadian system with Islamic Law. They constantly play the victim and lobby for special "rights". This CANNOT BE ALLOWED!

U people wud be surprised wen I tell u this that v in Pakistan’s don’t hav shariah law. These ppl cant impose shariah in their own lands wat makes them think they can do it in somone else’s. First fight for ur own land then think of imposing else where. Islam doesn’t allow us to coerce or impose our will on non muslims. This is one of the reasons our beautiful religion is misinterpreted and termed as a cancer by the west. The reality is completely opposite.

There are 240 million refugees waiting to come here. Canada is a big country. Of course we are not building new towns or cities. But we all believe in economic growth. Therefore we need to flood our cities with people. Diversity brings division. Lack of social cohesion, public trust. We need to ignore these studies and push our agenda forward. Only non-western countries are allowed to have national identities, like Japan.

50000!! a year, people with one child get 1000 a month, and do they get Child tax? I just dont understand how Canada/ America can just keep bringing allowing so many people can keep coming?? Or wont we just be a place just like the places they are trying to leave?? Also a payment to set up your house??? LOL. I knew a single Mom who left an abusive relationship.. ( born in Canada) and you know what the government in BC gave her to help her set up her house?!! A used bed!!!Thats all,, oh and a crisis grant for $40! If she needed more than the 1000$ pre month! This is a complete joke! We need to look after Canadians first, or we wont have healthcare and become a 3rd world country too!!

He obviously has the wrong religious beliefs. Trudeuo stated that jihadists who left Canada to fight for the Islamic state and committed acts of terrorism and barbarity were welcome to return to Canada and be free to live amongst the rest of the population free from scrutiny and surveillance of their actions and activities. Apparently they will be supported by the welfare system and given preferential treatment for social housing. I don't advocate illegal immigration by anyone, but I don't think that those who have been involved in jihad and their involvement in the killing of people in foreign countries should be allowed back in. To deport none combatants in favour of jihadists is insane

Wang would only have serve 4 of 7 years. Most likely low level security like the place in Abbotsford with no fence and golf course. Gets released with $9million waiting for him. No chance of any civil forfeiture. BTW Mr Wang is refusing to pay his $900k fine . \n\nCanada Revenue Agency and Border Services Agency allowed this fraud go on. But not having a system that the people have no confidence in they will greet every immigrant with suspicion. They let in illegal immigrants & make life harder for the legitimate ones.

Remember under Trudeau this is the new normal, bringing in criminals to our country. The only way he was caught is cause he used the same address's which is stupid....if he would of just used different ones he would still be totally fine and allowed to commit fraud against all of us. Trudeau is in bed with these people, i can guarantee Justin himself will make sure nothing happens to this man.

As a second generation son of Asian immigrants (Viet and Chinese parents), my parents had lived here for 7 years before they got citizenship and now these low moral Chinese scammers allow these uneducated people to illegally movebhere . This makes me so mad.

chinese people should only be allowed to make Chinese food when they come here.

So much for allowing people into Canada that don't speak one of the two official languages.

We dont go to Saudi Arabia telling them whats right and whats wrong. England will glady allow people of all types in but please dont change the small island we have. Like bruh imagine I get hired as an actor on a movie about love and turn it into love being horrible df

Canada,with our softness and above reality political correctness is it's own worst enemy.! \nIn China it's a way of life corruptions,,Chinese business men makes every months dinner reunions to discuss and celebrate how they've scammed western countries companies,this is not a joke..\nOur gentleness is not in tune with how the rest of the peoples of this planet are behaving.!\nI aint no racist,but i do have a little critical thinking,lately Canada is not acting in it's best future interest allowing anyone's to cross our border and being welcoming to peoples with invaders mentality and beliefs... \nWe even tolerate the Ontario islamic party that vow the destruction of our culture and our way of life...\nGo read their agenda,,any Canadian in for sharia.???\nIt's time to wake up before it's to late like in Europe.!

When is the fifth estate going to cover the fact that the government allows illegals to cross our border illegally at Roxham Rd Quebec?? Also how the government paid the people who live on that road over $20,000 each.....for what? Their silence or cooperation....or both? It's crazy the mainstream media won't talk about it!!

These people are stuck in 1400 year old mentality. It is sad that this religion allows no progress in its thinking. Your mind is closed inside the book and that’s final.

UK police are a fuckin joke for even allowing these zones to pop up. They're off chasing people for not having a tv license while rape/stabbing/acid attack crimes continue to skyrocket. All the while they turn a blind eye and block anyone on twitter that brings it up with hard data to back it. All in the name of being tolerant to an ideology that wants them fucking dead.

IRRELEVANT. IT IS TIME TO TAKE CARE OF CANADIANS. TRAIN CANADIANS. EDUCATE CANADIANS. ALLOW CANADIANS To BUY HOMES. TIME TO REDUCE IMMIGRATION BY 99% OF ALL COLOURS AND CREEDS UNTIL WE TAKE CARE OF THE PEOPLE HERE AND SOLVE OUR OWN ISSUES. YOU WANT TO HELP THE WORLD? DO LIKE CHINA AND GIVE THEM LOW INTEREST LOANS TO IMPROVE THEIR OWN COUNTRY.

“ Hidden radical sentiments “- the liberal Muslim lady well said .. \nthis sentiments will drive the radicals living in Canada to destroy that country .. Canada take precaution and do a Polygraph test of each people entering to your country and filter out radicals .. if you want, allow peace loving , non radical , good Muslim only ..

the people in the American continent and other western countries in Europe which are predominately Christians and liberals are now faced with a difficult challenge; since the free western world allowed the Muslim immigrants from the Muslims and other Arab countries to take refuge in their own countries, now they are engaged in a constant battle against their respective contrasting values, religious principles, and cultural practices....the big question now is which thoughts and culture will prevail? because, unlike the conflict on slavery centuries hence, the issue and concern then was merely black or white people or racial (about color of the skin).....now it is more relatively sensitive, complex and extremely serious......my issue thus, is how can a liberal, freedom loving and religious tolerant western society deal with an intolerant, discriminating, extremely arrogant and most often violent Muslim believers living in their own communities.......Clearly Europe and America is being Muslimized..my worry is that Europeans do not see the semblance between Muslim with communism...both seek to overthrow the prevailing order to fit theirs.

Sadly, this shows racism and Islamophobia! Most people are affected by the media which relates terrorism to Islam.. \nIslam is a peaceful religion with those who are peaceful because Allah SWT has called Himself as-Salaam (the One Free from all defects; this word also means ‘peace’), \n2- It forbids mischief on earth. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): “and do good as Allah has been good to you, and seek not mischief in the land. Verily, Allah likes not the Mufsidoon (those who commit great crimes and sins, oppressors, tyrants, mischief-makers, corrupt)”\n3- It allows followers of other religions to live in the Islamic state and practice their religion without putting any pressure on them. The Prophet (bpbh) ruled Madinah when there were many Jewish tribes living there, and he established a constitution between him and them which required all citizens to defend the state and strive together for its wellbeing, and granted security to them, their property and their children, with freedom of worship, trade and travel. They mixed with the Muslims to such an extent that they used to invite the Prophet(bpbh) to meals in their homes, and he would accept their invitations. He (bpbh) also gave them the right to judge matters amongst themselves according to their own laws. \nThe Prophet(bpbh) said: “If anyone wrongs a mu‘aahid [non-Muslim living under Muslim rule], detracts from his rights, burdens him with more work than he is able to do or takes something from him without his consent, I will plead for him (the mu‘aahid) on the Day of Resurrection.” and also said : “Whoever kills a mu‘aahid will not smell the fragrance of Paradise, although its fragrance may be detected from a distance of forty years.”

Why are we trying to integrate people with values that are so different from our own and give them special privileges? This is a burden on Canadian culture and the Canadian taxpayer . 50 million of mine and other Canadians hard work . To put illegals in hotels? Wtf All crime is covered up if it’s a refugee and now they are trying to pass bill c75 to allow crimes committed by these people to be less harsh .. some including crime against children? Wtf wake up in 2019 CANADA vote !!!

It angers me what this man has done to his family. How do you claim asylum in a country when fleeing from a country you came to illegally? Immigration laws are very important and protect citizens of a country in many ways. The US welcomes immigrants with open arms when they come here legally. These individuals want to challenge our rights to protect our people, our country. This family may be no threat to our country but if laws are not followed it opens the way for the wrong people to enter. I’m so tired of this manipulation. This man is responsible for the pain his children are going through.. not the countries standing by their laws to protect citizens and legal immigrants. If you know something is wrong and you do it anyway how do you then blame someone else for the consequence? Aside from this.. when do people start taking a stand and making positive change in their own Home Countries? So many of these people support corrupt leaders that promise to give them all their desires and then when things fall apart they want to flee. The problem in this world is people refuse to take responsibility. It’s always someone else’s fault. If we allow people from other countries to neglect our laws our country will fall as well. Wake up.

These are peaceful people and they have a hard time....Canada lets muslims and afghanis and syrians, who have nothing to contribute soooo easy...why? just noticed that most cultures that Canada allows are of musllim backround...i was born in canada and disgusted with this shithole..

Islam It is Not!! a Religion in Canada WE People in Canada Should Not Allowed this to Happen to Canada!! We Are Not Muslims!! Don't Practice Nothing about that, For Those who wanted to live under that Religion!! Go back to the middle East where They Practice and live with the Islam .. I love Canada

Islam is not a race of people, it is a religion and an ideology. In Western culture you are allowed to question ALL ideas.

Why can't world just shut the doors for not to allow any Muslim in their territory for their own safety? Otherwise, 3rd world war is so soon against Islamic vs Non Islamic people.

Like khalistan of india.canada is safe home for every heinous criminals otherwise this so called civilized countries don't allow any working and peace loving people there.

One question\n muslims demand for their religion to thrive in secular and democratic countries. But they don't allow othet religions to thrive in muslim majority countries. In middle east, they don't allow other religion people to do their religious practices.\n\nIn iran, one of the Indian Chess player (she is a hindu) was forced to cover her head and face to play championship to which that player denied completely and she withdrew her name from the championship. \nThe question is when other religion people goes to some muslim majority countries,they force them to follow their religious practices and when muslims goes to some democratic countries, they bay for their own religious practices and want to flourish islam in that country. \nI really get scared of muslims.

As a Canadian i do hope the best for everyone but the fact that our government is just allowing anyone who dam well feels like it to cross into our country is just sick and most of the people are destroying motels racking up bills and its Canadian tax payers that must flip the bill none of us should be happy about that i so hate Justin Trudeau for turning Canada into a joke he should be fixing this country and stop helping the rest of the world he has no god dam right doing all that he did.

Stop allowing these people in any country. They cant keep their own countiri\nes prosperous. They will ruin all of ours.

I wounder why soudi Arabia refuse to allow there own Islamic peoples

what should be growing concern is allowing these people to spread in your country and start enforcing their culture and laws on others because mark my words THEY WILL! As soon as you give hem little power and space.. it's what they do!!!!! soon they will try to enforce sharia law on the streets and abuse locals and you will lose all control!! THAT is the a very real concern!

This is Canada fault for allowing these people to take over there culture

Please keep your uninsightful comments to yourselves. For some reason Americans feel it is their right to critique other countries that they are not in agreement with. We hear you but simply don't listen to you. Here's a simple fact you may be able to wrap your minds around. The world has changed. You cannot simply pick a time out of history and say that you want to go back to the way things were some 70 years ago. A despot has decided to ethnically cleanse his country ... for seven years that i, and as such human beings by nature are of the mindset they'd prefer to live and try to seek a better life for themselves and their families. But you don't focus on that fact. You focus on the nickels and dimes being spent on accommodation. We get it, you don't like people putting a burden on your system. The USA... wealthiest nation on the earth would prefer to not allow migrants into their county. You could afford to open up your country but are fearful of the financial burden and I have seen some Americans question why these illegals are getting free food and education on our dime. Consider an investment in your future. In 50 years the amount of money spent on these migrants fleeing from desperate situations is a paltry sum Mr Scrooge. BUT if one of those people makes a dramatic difference to your country then think how far ahead you will be. \nThe alternative is to send back the refugees or illegals and wish them well. That would be a catastrophic waste of potential life. So are you really worried about hotel costs in the grand scheme of things. Are your really? Pitiful.

What kind of a Prime Minister uses the people's money to board people in hotels that aren't even legal citizens, while allowing tens of thousands of his own countrymen to live in the street and believes it to be morally correct to coerce hotel owners into housing people they would likely not rent to in any other circumstance?

Not only does this man break American law by coming here illegally,he does the very same thing by entering Canada illegally,in all the time he was in America he did not learn English,this man and his family must be deported \nImmediately, he and his family have been bilking the U.S.A.by using programs that they have no business aplying\nto.Now I can say for certain that he has tried to get freebies from Canada too!.\nWhen are our governments going to learn not to be pushed around,by people who are nothing but takers,takers ,takers with no appreciation for the country who is keeping them alive,if you want to speak\nyour foreign language,full time,while living in America full time,do it somewhere in private,I am tired of having people here that could be talking about me,or worse yet my country and our politics,while standing right next to me!.\nI am so glad that he wasted that money,earned in the U.S.A.and while milking our entitlement programs dry,\npayback is a bi_ch, now he knows how I feel about non-citizens getting away with cheating our government,\nThis man was brazen enough to go on camera and complain about living in the U.S.A.and feeling unwelcome,\nwell now I wonder why that is?he speaks on Spanish,in a English speaking nation,he's hiding from authorities \nhoping not to draw attention to himself,who might want to check his legality of being in this country.\nI'm sick of the internal takeover of this country,without any shots being fired like those of a real invading foreign \narmy, instead, over the past 50 or 60 years, a never,never,never ending,stream of people breaking into our country\nuninvited,undocumented,and very,very UNAMERICAN and UNCANADIAN.\nPUSH BACK AMERICANS,PUSH BACK CANADIANS,do not let our governments allow our countries to be turned into the shitholes from which the invaders are coming from.\nVote yes vote at your election times,and remove the people who are not stopping the illegal invaders,vote them\nout of their political positions,in favor of people who will stand for our countries founding identities,if not\nwe can kiss our histories goodbye FOREVER!.

People need to learn you can’t just hop the border and hope that you’re automatically going to become a citizen. \nThat’s what happened under obama. Rumors got out if they came to the US they would be granted amnesty. That’s when we saw a huge influx of illegals riding on trains and large numbers crossing the border etc. BO never corrected that rumor and allowed folks in then created DACA. \nWe have laws!\nAnd to top it off he’s cheating the system by moving to a different part of Canada to be put at the bottom of the list and buying time.

Why are you Europeans allowing this to happen to your own countries? I'm American and even this saddens me\n\n\n\nNote: I do not hate Muslims or Islam. I have Muslims friends, but I think this Sharia Law in non-Islamic countries is retarded. People should live however they want and follow whatever religion they want, not forced to.

These are the lies people are telling all of South America. The South American politicians are guilty of this also, because they want that money pouring in from the U.S and Canada. It sustains their regimes.\nI will keep stating this on every site I go to.\nFor years the U.S allowed this to happen and they fueled it. They turned a blind eye to it (Both parties) and then the Democrats (during Obama's admin) saw their way to flood the U.S with more of these card carrying socialists.\nThey started to disperse these families to states that nobody really cares about. Idaho, North Dakota to name a couple. They can turn these purple districts into Blue districts. They can start affecting the outcomes of local elections which funnel up to State Governorship and eventually Senators and Congressmen. It's the long play to turn America Socialist and it's been 20+ years and we are starting to see it in local elections.\nWhen they were trying to get the numbers of how many illegal Immigrants are in the U.S. the Democrats keep spewing numbers like less than 1 million. Well the numbers are in it's over 10 MILLION!\nWhen cases started popping up a couple of years ago about children being struck by strange diseases the news kept a very low profile. But in actuality it's happening more and more.\nHere is what you need to do. Go to your local schools to see what the makeup of the classes are if you see a cluster of South Americans there is your vector.\nhttps://www.cnn.com/2014/09/07/health/respiratory-virus-midwest/index.html\nhttps://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/mysterious-polio-illness-paralyzing-u-s-children-n658766\nIt's not a racist to point this out, these Countries have little to no healthcare for their children. The same situation happened to Soldiers who served in Iraq. They would get what they called the Iraqi funk.\nhttps://www.nap.edu/read/11765/chapter/6\nJust as Christopher Columbus brought over diseases from Europe and killed of the native Indians of the Caribbean Islands and latter to the Americas the South Americans are doing the same but it's not at Alarming levels, well at least the numbers are not high enough to warrant a spot on the evening news. By the time they report on it, it's too late.\nSocialists are rising up in the U.S. By the time the next US Presidential election comes up you will see more of these vermin infect the narrative in the U.S

It’s bad enough these people so casually break laws and become criminals..... but to involve your children and actually teach them that, if you want something, you should ignore laws and break laws to get it and even steal it from others!! Sickening!! They shouldn’t be allowed to even have kids!!

These people are all ungrateful and never should be allowed here

You must come to Canada with your pockets full of money and you better have a means of Making a living,or you will not be allowed to enter into Canada or Live. Trudeau was grandstanding he was just trying to show up Trump, And now everyone knows he's nothing more than a blowhard....I guess that little stunt cost the Canadian People a small fortune and will continue to cost Canada. Maybe you Canadians should start building a wall. Your gonna need it.

How did you allow these people in.

I'll lay it out for you: Me: typical middle of the road liberal oriented Canadian. Non white, immigrant (I wasnt born here) I worked in a Refugee housing for over 4 years in Ontario. Most were not war areas refugees (Yes I know there are other types of refugees). I only encountered few refugees from war areas. ONLY 1 person from Iraq, about 2 families were from Afghanistan, 1 couple from Pakistan(I doubt they were real refugees they spoke fluent English, maybe political refugee), and a most from African countries. Its too far for real refugees to get here. Its Easier for them to go to other countries nearby or Europe. MOST SEEM TO BE ECONOMIC REFUGEES. Most were coming from Africa. Some are coming from Latin America, which shouldn't be happening. Once they showed up at our doorstep and we processed them into the system, they were immediately in the same class as a Canadian resident homeless person if they were making a refugee claim. We get money to house and feed them (from the government), and they are given a stipend for basics from the government processed through the Social Assistance/ Welfare system (they get less than a resident/citizen I think.). They then have to get their case processed by the refugee board, and most seem to get in. I've only heard of few getting sent back. One person I know at our facility, was given a subsided social housing apartment after a year in our facility. So they went straight from a shelter to a government/city owned subsidized apartment. (Didn't seem like it was a issue for the housing worker...they didn't report it (if they were not the ones that helped the person to get it), they were white, the housed person was Latin. This refugee claimant, and then month or two new Canadian resident person was given an apartment in a prime area of the city, instead of the 1000's of Canadians, those who came before them, and born Canadian citizens on an extremely long waiting list. How this was allowed to happen I don't know. The person was probably sucking on someone's straw. I'm just trying to think the barriers these people have to go through to get a job here. We are far removed from the time of the 80's and 90's., and housing and jobs are so hard to get. Lol the "Canadian government asks them to repay the traveling cost to Canada if they are sent back"....I wonder how much the government recoups?.....more like 0 probably. What a bunch of crap. How do you demand someone to repay their flight cost when they get back to their country?

Now I want to see both of them go to a majority black neighborhood and see if there isn't any racial profiling.\n\nWhite people aren't allowed to go to some black neighborhoods unless they are there to buy drugs, and that is the truth.

SETUP. Duh, she invites him to move in, in March. You came in before and was offered February. She is allowing room for you to decide so she can handle the other guy regardless of what you decide on. Sick of people playing the victim. You are not a victim of anything but what you create for yourself.PERIOD.
