i hate anti immigration sentiments of all kinds, i think the issue doesnt lie with immigration it lies in the already problematic housing crisis we have. the housign crisis was already a amjor issue, immigration only made it worse

Surely by now, EVERYONE understands that this is all by design. This is part of the WEF plan to own nothing and be happy. So stop voting for the same parties that caused this problem. It's time to vote for other parties with policies that will actually solve these issues.

I'm half Morrocan and half Palestinian, born and bred in Germany.\nIllegal immigration is a wide world issue now like Morroco for example is being overflooded with Negrian and Senegal Senegalese Illegal immigrants who set up camps in the middle of the roads, refuse to obey the local law, and almost form a No go zone, it's getting tragic in some parts in Morroco and the king of Morroco is allowing it to happen under the guise of tolerance and acceptance.\nSigh.

I believe the government should take a more proactive approach to managing the number of people admitted into Canada, ensuring a balanced and equitable distribution. It's important to avoid scenarios where larger groups overshadow smaller ones, which could lead to future challenges. Additionally, we should aim to prevent issues similar to the riots currently happening in the UK.

This is happening throughout the developed world: US, UK, Canada, Australia. Even Norway, one of the most open bordered countries is saying no more. When are people going to accept this is not a race issue?

The issues raised in this story are occurring in all western countries with uncontrolled immigration.\nGovernments bring in migrants to give their overall GDP a quick sugar hit but the GDP per capita tanks and quality of life dives for everyone.

Canada is set to take 1 million immigrants per year and has only a total of 40 million citizens with a housing crisis. Canada’s population surpassed 41 million in April, just 10 months after it hit 40 million in June 2023. Nothing of it is due to birthrates, it's only immigration that makes the country grow. There's real issues coming with this much immigration ( housing market, stagnant wages, assimiliation of newcomers).

Canada has so much space to house even 20 million more people. I mean per square inch Ontario is well bigger than the entire country of Nigeria, which boasts 300 million people...without an accommodation issue. What's wrong isn't an immigration issue because Canada advertised itself as appealing and immigration friendly, what's wrong is a housing and infrastructure issue. Canada quite simply needs to get to building

I’m pretty sure the issue is letting the immigrants rules too loose. Immigration can boost the economy but letting a lot of immigrants at once would sabotage natives own survival.

I’m a new US citzen from Canada. America is having similar problems due to the Biden-Harris open border policies where millions of unvetted immigrants are creating issues with crime, homelessness and high housing costs. I’m voting TRUMP.❤ When he was President. things were better.

The issue is mostly with all the students coming in and dreaming of settling in Canada and not having enough money to even study.

Australia too.. its a western issue. Its about balance and you NEED the infrastructure to support the population regardless. If you cant support the existing population, its insane and cruel to those going to a country under false advertising & false pretense of a western government

Failure to provide access housing necessary for dignity and security is a human right violation under the National Housing Act. Instead of addressing its own problem, Trudeau is on his high house criticizing countries such as China for its human rights issues.

Ok yea NGL this kinda true. At first I was under the impression this was the exact same thing as the England bs protests. But the Canada issue makes a lot of sense. Like bro I work in downtown and literally as soon as night fall comes u see dozens and dozens of homeless ppl. Then ppl like us live in a 3 bedroom apartment out of downtown and it's like nearly 2k rent a month. That's brutal

If Canadians are unhappy about immigration, that literally means it’s an indisputable scientific fact that there are immense issues with our system. The dark and disgusting side of this that doesn’t get talked about is how many newcomers leave shortly after spending everything they have to boost our GDP before they realize they’ll never get the opportunity or life they were promised here. I don’t think it’s just Canadians that see immense issues with our immigration system.\n\nImmigration also implies diversity. Not just flooding the country with millions of people from one section of the world.\n\nWe are indeed in a catch 22 though, because with the lack of replacement birth rate we’ve had, we can’t simply haunt immigration. But the asinine quota needs to go down. This all boils down to basic math and basic economics. There are no excuses for how badly this has been botched.

Thank you for providing a balanced view of this issue. I think that once the housing shortage eases the anti-immigrant sentiment will also subside.

It is a global issue. I’m for legal immigration of all levels but the US cannot manage these astronomical numbers. It’s a huge unbalanced burden in inner cities where locals need help but don’t get what just illegally crossing gets you and your kids. It’s taking from the already have nots. It’s easy for elites to theorize but tone deaf to those dealing with it. It’s all about balance so everyone benefits. Currently the Mexican cartels are the only winners.

Asylum from Pakistan? So when was that country having issues?

Canada doesn't need anymore people from india or alike. If Canada was allowing people in from countries with similar values and beliefs then it wouldn't be an issue. It's going to take a violent revolution to solve this problem. All the established political parties here are all the same and are controlled by billionaires with a twisted vision of what they want the world to look like.

But wait a minute !!! 1 million immigrants in a country as big as China and you guys are complaining. The whole population of Canada fits in 1 or 2cbig tier 1 cities in China , so their cities hv to deal with 1 million migration on a regular basis and accomodate for those changes. Wht is it do hard for Canada to handle 1 million immigrants ? That should be taken into consideration as a shortage of labor is alwaysban issue facing Canada at some point.

As a Canadian i believe we need to stop this. This is not good for the country as its not good for our taxes. Talking about taxes a lot of people also work under the table (cash only jobs). This wasy they avoid taxes as well. Canada needs to hire undercover agents and make the fines to business owners so high that they would go bankrupt if they employ such people. There are also communities that hire only their people. I do not consider this as intergration to a host nation. A lot of issues that need to be addressed. Thats why i believe we need a strong leader to make Canada good for its law abiding citizens.

Shame on you for spreading hate and racism. You are targeting the Indian community in particular. The entire Vancouver looks like China or Korea but that is not an issue. They even have a Chinatown. I thought the whole idea of Canada was that its built by immigrants. The original people are the First Nations people. You are a sick person.

Your channel is very racist. Vancouver looks like China or Korea but no one is making an issue out of that. Shame

The path to citizenship is not the problem. Its do obvious, but thhis report puts an unrealistic epin on the issue

This is happening almost everywhere in the West. I don't have as much of an issue with immigrants as I do with consistently bad leaders who will not deal with the issues.

One of the problems is if you say something against the issue of unfettered immigration, you're accused of being xenophobic, racist, and whatever the latest buzz phrase liberals come up with.......

Unfortunately the claim of racism is what immediately shuts down any real discussion of this issue.\n\nThe fact of the matter is housing prices are FAR too high. And while there are certainly main contributors, one cannot simply ignore the area of supply and demand. Too many people looking for too few locations to live. It doesn't get more basic than that.\n\nThe PROBLEM is our economic growth numbers are DEPENDANT on immigration, and if we just cut immigration the numbers will plummet and foreign investment will tank. We'd dug this hole for ourselves by voting in leaders that rely on immigration to prop up what is fundamentally a very weak economy.

We have the same issues in Australia. Maybe not as severe as Canada though.

Canada is caught in a trap. We need new immigrants because our demographic is shrinking, Canada's birth rate is only 1.33. But we haven't kept up with public services and housing to meet the demands of the new people. This causes unsustainable house price, healthcare and infrastructure issues.

In Europe the same issues. Do the math people, you cant just keep the borders open when you know there isnt enough housing options. Its simple !

The issue is not with immigrants or immigration, rather a lack of social structures. Canada has one of the highest taxation, with the lowest return spending on social structures, as compared to their high ranking counter parts.

Canadian government is unfairly shifting the burden onto landlords and the middle class, rather than effectively managing and intervening in the issue

the exact same BS is happening in Australia right now, we accepted OVER 1 million foreigners, way more than Canada and we have all those issues plus more....

Did immigrant government already solved the issue of mass murduring the native kids at schools?

It's not anti-immigration: its serious concern that its on a trajectory and in numbers that the country may not be able to absorb economically and demographically. That's the issue, nothing more. These are legitimate concerns. Its the same in every other Western country.

This needs to be an election issue. Same thing here the small guy gets screwed by those who game the system.

Rental? That the least of the deadly issues, we have urgent care and ERs shutting down daily because no staff, 50% have no G.P., wait times for essential surgeries 5+ years, this is a nightmare hellscape.

Capitalism wants that, you all know that, but for you the issue are the immigrants, while it is actually a symptom. Immigration or not, the housing market inflation would still be there.

Students sign papers before visa is issued when there student permit or visa expire they will go back their home country. There is no promise done by government to give them PR.

Not just Canadaz but a lot of not all Western countries. We have well documented infrastructure issues, housing shortages, an overwhelmed medical service... yet we keep bringing in more and more people from the Third world.\n\nSomething is eventually going to give.

I see both sides. The issue is the government, because they fail to take care of their citizens. However, I also understand the other side of the coin, you need to look out for your OWN PEOPLE as well and provide for them. And so it’s coming to a point where….we can’t take care of everyone……? it’s a sad situation

As a child of immigrants, I have to say I’m pleasantly surprised at how sane and policy-based this comments section is when the issue is so aggravating to the public. It goes to show how badly the government at all levels has fumbled, and I can speak from my own experience that most immigrants and children of immigrants agree that we cannot let this many immigrants into the country without better integration and housing availability. It does not benefit ANYONE.

It's a complicated situation, sad and painful but we can expext the EU to solve and take on all the issues of the arab world when arab countires are not making an effort to help there people.\n\nChange need to happen in order to help those who wants better life but it can not fall on a few countries.

this is not a US or Mexican issue. this is a UN issue.

Because there are WAY TOO MANY IMMIGRANTS?\nOverwhelming every capacity Canada has and destroying the standard of living for the vast majority of people? You think that MIGHT be the issue?

Brampton crime rates are 30% lower than the national average Violent crimes in Brampton are 27% lower than the national average - Just saying. As one who live next to Brampton, I don't see any issues there. Walking around Brampton is fine.. it was WAY worse in the 80s. The crime rate has been dropping each year over the last 20 years. I don't know why people love to fear monger. Enjoy the country... it's a great and safe country! Have fun, get out... see the world and compare.

Canada, like Australia and etc., faces a fundamental issue that makes it reliant on—or even more severely, dependent on—immigration. Of course discussing this fundamental issue is inappropriate for Canadians. The housing crisis is not caused by immigrants. While you can criticize immigration policies, they are merely the straw that broke the camel's back. It's similar to inflation; like, even if it remains at 2% per year, we will still experience the peaks and troughs of business cycles, just less intensely. Sure you can have a public housing program, where does that money come from? More and more tax money. Having to work harder to only end up with paying more taxes for those who either did not have the opporunities or didn't work as hard (who cares what the actual reasons are), just feels like a ripoff.

So Canada is ok with Chinese talking in their language, Africans talking in their language but have an issue with Indians talking in their language? That’s extremely hypocritical. Calling yourself a diverse country means you're accepting all cultures, not just what you like. Extremely hypocritical video in my opinion.

Racism isn't an issue. Governmental ineptitude is, at all levels. And I came to the conclusion some time ago, that people living on the streets and in abject poverty is what the governments want. This isn't just an issue in Canada. It's happening all over, and it is fully deliberate.

12:42 as a 25 year old born and raised Canadian, what about the hopes of dreams of Canadians? This literally goes back to the issue all of us Canadians keep saying.. we need to start prioritizing our people first especially when it’s our tax dollars..
