Exactly how they want to keep you even!

It’s all fine and well but immigration must keep up with infrastructure and integration to remain sustainable.

It’s not racism or anti immigration it’s anti current policy Trudeau is allowing millions from one region and there’s no HOMES. No apts. no rooms for rent enough for Canadians. They all come to the GTA. I worry my kiddo won’t have housing for uni when of age and won’t even experience a summer job or as a teen as all retail and all jobs previously for youth to gain first employment and experience are now taken by newly arrived immigrants and they keep the positions as they don’t actually come for degrees and schooling for needed areas of employment in the country

Thank populist poilievre & his ranting about the evils of immigration tainting peoples impressions. That opening line is STRAIGHT out of his playbook. Add in greed driven inflation by the oil & grocery giants and there is no extra money for rent. Now poilievre wants back in power, when he’s had 20 years and done nothing to increase housing, and pander to those exact same conglomerates. Meanwhile, our interest rates keep going down according to plan, the housing bubble has leveled, & progress is being made. Canada isn’t broken, we just have to keep working on it.

Just trying to keep New York a blue state

People like that realtor chick is the problem, they'll keep voting in liberals over and over

They have to immigrate people in order to keep the housing ponzi from collapsing and fix the aging working class.

Do people not understand we want where we live to be the same place it was when we grew up. Keep these people where they were born.

Let me get this straight.... I am an Indian, and we are simply sick of Canada immigration policy !! It's so dumb !! Seriously, make it harder ... Like extremely hard like any other first world country ... I feel bad for Canada!! You can't blame anyone but you're own government because there are a billion indians, who you gonna stop ?... Instead focus on quality immigration just like US or other first world countries. And i am really very very sorry ❤ SORRY !!\n\nEdit:\n\nAlso ... Also !! The immigrants you're allowing are pretty much extremists, like wth .... It's a huge headache for Indians and the Indian government, remember the huge fuss over the death of Hardeep nijjar ?? Why ?? Why let extremists even come .... As an Indian I feel disgusted even calling them Indians cuz they keep talking about breaking apart india itself ( especially Punjab ) .... But why ... They should help the economy grow and flourish but instead they indulge in such things and the government supports it !!!?? Uk the best thing you could do as a country is stop immigration ( at least from Punjab ) and 90% of your problems will be over !! See dumb people are all over the world but your immigration cell for some reason selects the dumb ones from India ... Just do what us is doing, ask them or something !!

Keep em all out, and send the others packing too.

I keep trying to watch his stuff and he keeps creeping into the fking camera. I can't put up with that level of narcissism.

Keep this trend going we don’t want immigrants

ENTITLEMENT BECAUSE EVERYONE FALSELY BELIEVES PREVIOUS generations help the future propel and they are owed something and they don't need to fight to keep it. ?

Keep voting for the same party!!! Make a change by voting out the people in office!

Honestly this country has become an idiocracy joke. My plan is to keep working for myself, create a passive income and live somewhere else. We lost this country. Prove me wrong.

Let’s just ask Canadians if we want to keep our border open for a free for all of migrants..THE ANSWER IS NO !!

Democrats getting what they voted for. Keep it up, but don't complain.

Close the borders now. Put up that wall. Keep America safe again

I don’t understand this “reporting”. If I go to Chinatown and become enraged after seeing majority Chinese population I’d say something is wrong with me. Go to a small town in Alberta, Manitoba etc you’ll see majority white people. People in the comments keep saying “Canadian” what is a Canadian. What values do born Canadians (such as myself with Pakistani parents) that other ethnicities don’t have which makes them unCanadian? Are we supposed to dress or behave in a certain way to earn the Canadian label?

??? vote blue! Keep voting blue! ???\n\nNYC is FUCKED! T-minus 16 months and I’m out of this shithole

Why didn’t the delivery guy have change available?\n\nCustomer has a right to be annoyed if the driver is just trying to keep his change k owing that ismt is a cash order.

Also remember that many illegal immigrants, asylum seekers and refugees simply walked from the northern states of the USA across Canada's border into Canada and Canada got stuck with them too. Having to house them and feed them etc because Canada couldn't sent them back because of some international law. These laws allowing anyone to enter someone else's country without being invited or without asking for and receiving the respective countries permission is not right. We all have borders for a reason. Too keep people and things out that we do not want and to keep things inside that we need and treasure. That's the whole point of a country having borders.

The lady is right, 15-20 students move in, then they don’t keep the place clean it gets disgusting and they litter everywhere too.

Awesome\nMay GOD keep blessing you

Well, the new immigrants are partly to blame for the housing crisis. If they leave maybe it will stabilize. But then again, trudeau will keep shoving well over a million year in so nothing will change.

Every video you keep pushing FEAR!

We are watching America's greatest city fall in real time. Keep in mind they tried to do this to Texas but we saw this coming and deflected to NYC

You keep mispronouncing illegal as immigrant. Please stop that.

Did a little bit of research on this just last week. \nThe mayor, needs to step up, something fierce. \nThis is nonsense. It cannot be sustained. Our citizens will leave, and the new people coming, will turn America. \nWhere is his head at? \nSpeaking for me, they already destroyed the dryers where I do my clothes. I cannot afford people living here who choose to be ignorant. \nThey have no concept of community and don't wish to apparently. I could go further, I am choosing to keep my mouth shut. \n\nWhatever religion they have, I'd like to file a complaint with their god.

All of this should be blamed on Joe Biden‘s fault for years ago and not to mention, I don’t know why these people wonderful Kamala Harris as well do she is following the same path as Biden is doing to remember what Trump said that he’s going to control all of this and flip the owner of a verse card to go back to normal but these people are literally a Simp for asking for destruction and the fact that New York City is close to Canada than where had been the border even been doing the border is like wide-open dude close it up but nope lazy Joe Biden and now soon about to be Kamala Harris they just gonna keep it open dude this country needs to be clean up June 2020 messed up the whole shit sorry for my language but it’s true I know there are a few mispronounce words, but I am going crazy with this news right now

Keep voting democrats and we will lose our country

Fyck you keep them out

Thank God I left New York in 2003 21 years ago. And I’m blessed to live in Florida with one of the best governors who wants to keep our boys boys and our beautiful girls women. No LGBTQ crap down here. My points this is all done by the democratic s . Do not be brainwashed. Don’t be fooled anymore. Straighten your spine and choose to see the Republicans take care of the country and have the light of God behind them. It’s obvious God bless New York wake up vote trump 2024.

Illegal, free stuff seekers will keep coming,so prepare to keep giving.

Keep voting dem if you want more of this.

So if they WALK across the border thru the North Woods they get arrested, but if they come in a vehicle straight down the Interstate it's okay somehow? On the plus side at least taxpayers don't have to pay to fly or bus immigrants to NYC from Texas, LOL - that'll keep that pesky deficit down, eh?!

Nothing new they’ve been doing this it cost more but is more low key. The more we give with out any regulation the more ppl will over whelm the system and create more resentment with taxpayers that keep receiving tax hikes.

Keep them coming. Vote democRat and this is what you get. I figure NYC should be able to handle anothrer 7 million.

The cartel guys are resourceful, they probably charge the same but less hassle to use the northern border. If I would be the cartel I would send endless amount of people and charge them when they have arrived at the destination. As NY give them money I would take 10% for the first year for example. Easy money and not illegal. As long as the money keep coming the people will turn up.

And Kamala Harris put a commercial out that our border is secure???????\nWe pay taxes to keep our borders safe! \nWhat is really going on?????

And Kamala Harris put a commercial out that our border is secure???????\nWe pay taxes to keep our borders safe! \nWhat is really going on?????

Hay Make sure you keep voting for either wing of the bird. Blue or Red. ITs working. LOL

Did you know that your Social Security number is more than just a bunch of digits? It's actually your golden ticket to the NYSE! That's right, you’re an asset being traded among Wall Street wizards. It’s like being a celebrity, but without the fame, fortune, or fun.\n\nNow, let’s talk U.S. debt. Spoiler alert: it’s as repayable as your New Year’s resolutions. Thanks to our buddies at the IMF, America’s got a plan: increase the population. Big time. It's like playing SimCity, but instead of skyscrapers, we’re building up people.\n\nDon’t be fooled by politicians pretending to dislike immigrants. Both parties are secretly on the same team, and they’re playing the long game. One group stirs the pot, making immigrants the bad guys so they can be ostracized and exploited for cheaper labor. Plus, they provide free real estate to GEO Inc., the world’s largest prison industrial complex. Win-win, right?\n\nHere’s the kicker: immigrants are actually more valuable than your average citizen when you consider household debt versus production value. Corporations and government bigwigs are practically salivating over this. \n\nSo, what’s the endgame? Either we make a massive resource grab (cue dramatic war drums), or we pray for a miracle to pay back the debt. Until then, keep your Social Security number close—it’s your stock market claim to fame!

You asked for it, voted for it, New York, you got it. Now keep it.

They know NY is turning red and this is the only way to keep it blue. Fake votes

New Yorkers keep voting for Democrats. No Republican can win any office because those darn Republicans are meanies. I'M NO RACIST=I'll keep voting Democrat! (And just complain that NY is ruined until I'm forced to move out. But at least I'm no racist who never voted Republican. ?)

Keep all of them away from Long Island!

Wrong! Keep pushing this fake outrage narrative people are still coming in Canada and very few people can leave or even wanna leave if they could.

They cross to Canada as well from NY state, they try either country and stay in the one that will give them more benefits. Also, the MX needs a visa again, the govt realize we can't keep having more coming in at this point we are full! The housing is push to the limits at this point.

There are now quite a few news stories in Canada of immigrants leaving the country - some back home and others to the USA and other places. Many just get a Canadian passport and then leave. There are public health care and pensions, so it can be an asset and also a convenient travel document to have. A lot of Canadian university graduates have a very hard time finding work in their fields and a lot of them look to the US for a better future. Both immigration and unemployment in Canada are much higher that in the US - so more people are chasing fewer jobs that often pay less and are taxed more than in the USA. Opportunities are generally a lot fewer in Canada than the US, and the business environment is not as favourable, and taxes significantly higher. You would be getting some of the entrepreneurs from Canada moving to the US for more favourable conditions as well to launch a business and also now a lot more rich investor types, so-called high net worth individuals wanting to relocate, because they just raised the capital gains tax in Canada. Capital gains is also triggered on inheritance in Canada with a deemed sale of property and assets, so rich people would prefer the American system and want to be residents there for tax purposes and have their assets grow in value in the US compared to Canada. There are very large numbers of foreign students and other categories of immigrants which may have as their goal going to the US after getting a temporary visa to Canada which is easy to get - maybe something like half a million to a million people in those categories depending on the year, plus around another half million regular immigrants and refugees now. The Trudeau administration has increased immigration to record numbers. It has been steadily going up over the years for several decades since 1990. Because of family re-unification it can have a snowball effect and could significantly exceed 1 million per year. A lot of the sending countries have much larger populations than Canada, so there are a lot more that can be potentially sent to Canada in the future. About 1/4 of the population of Canada has been added in the past few decades. Add to that visitors and temporary visas - that is a lot of people potentially moving to the US. Before the 1990s Canadians visiting the US were not required to have a passport and a drivers' license or birth certificate was adequate. Now a passport is required. It is impossible to effectively control the long Canada-US border, so there could be some unified policies in that area agreed on between Canada and the USA on immigration and refugees. Canada currently has a very open immigration policy with the government actively seeking out more immigration beyond its current processing capacity and trying to take rejected immigrants from other countries. The Canadian government, especially in recent years under Trudeau is immigration hungry. It might be the only country in the world doing that. What some news reports are now saying is that some immigrants are actually leaving, since they find it so difficult in Canada and some are worse off than they were in the countries they came from, which were considered to be less developed than Canada. \nWashington currently has more immigration controls and administrative competencies than Ottawa, so US pressure and influence is a faster way to get reforms into the system than waiting for local politicians to do anything, which is unlikely. Canada is seen by some as a backdoor into the US. Biden's immigration policies could be seen as very conservative in Canada compared to Trudeau's. It used to be in the news about how refugees were trying to get to Canada and walking across the border in Quebec and out west from the US earlier, but now there are more news stories of immigrants leaving Canada trying to go the other way, probably due to high costs and unemployment because the government took in more people than it could absorb into the economy. They have the idea that immigration drives GDP growth so that they can borrow and spend more, expand the civil service, etc. without making any cutbacks or efficiencies, supposedly without the Debt to GDP ratio getting worse, just by bringing in more people as if that would drive the economy. A lot depends on who you bring in as well. Are they going to go on welfare, are they going to increase crime, will they somehow contribute to society, are they a net tax benefit or cost in terms of government services, will they invest money, will they start a business and create jobs for others ? Those issues do not factor into government decision making in Canada for the most part. Ontario Premier Doug Ford did say there were too many foreign students. It is bad planning not to consider those factors since there are other costs that grow with those policies as well, and infrastructure has to be expanded. I think that the real immigration numbers to Canada are not transparent or made public, nor are the costs involved, if anyone even knows what they are. Nor is the impact on crime. You can guess from what the reports are in other countries. The Fraser Institute has made some estimates on the net costs of immigration to the government budget a few years ago, which were very high and which by now have increased - the cost equivalent of several new aircraft carriers each year. They are big numbers which are not publicized, but it amounts to the fact that immigration is subsidized by the taxpayers in Canada and it is not paying for our pensions as an ageing society as has been claimed. There is less money for education, health care and pensions per person, and those social benefits will probably have to be reduced over time. Social programs can only be delivered to the extent that the government has money. The bigger social system a county has, the more such immigration policies are going to cost. Trudeau has been expanding various social programs as well, so higher taxes and debt are likely with that approach. Then more productive people and companies will want to leave Canada and go to the US. Probably the government does not know what the actual numbers and costs are and doesn't actively keep track of that information beyond what is required. Probably nobody knows what the true immigration figures and their associated costs are in Canada, and hardly anyone has even studied those issues. If they can just walk across the US border and get papers so easily making an asylum claim, it is not surprising, since it would take them longer to get a regular visa and work permit if they did it legally. You could call that a loophole in the US immigration system which is being exploited. The US is better governed in general and has a better system in many ways, but I am not sure if it is the same on that. People have arrived on boats and have not been sent back. At least in the US you have more open information about those issues. In Canada it is hard to find out anything about it. Deportations from Canada are very few. \nOn other issues in Canada when voting in federal elections you have to show a government issued photo ID like a drivers' license or passport to vote and bring a card that was mailed out to eligible voters that gets updated addresses when a person files their taxes. I have never heard of mail-in ballots in Canada, but there are remote areas of the country in the far north who may have special system for voting. It is easier to get a Canadian citizenship than US and many more citizenships are handed out in Canada each year in proportion to the population than in the US. Canadian might be one of the easiest citizenships to get in the world. The official line now is that it is a country of immigrants. Based on current trends, will very little opposition to it in the parliament and most MPs supporting it, future immigration to Canada could increase to several million per year because of the rapid growth of population in the world, and the momentum already growing of immigration to Canada, so it may change significantly in the future. Historically around the world you can see many examples that country names, borders, flags and languages change over time with population changes, so it might not be called Canada anymore in 50-100 years. For example, Bulgaria used to be called Thrace which had been a powerful kingdom in antiquity and had a different language which is barely known about anymore. Over the past 2,000 years it has gone through a number of changes and had various regimes governing it, has been independent and also part of several different empires. Canada has only been a country for a short time in comparison and has been been going through significant changes. Trudeau has said that Canada is a post-national country. Canada is also going through a period of critical self-examination and deconstruction-revisionism. A lot of what had been viewed as positive from its history now is seen more critically, with re-naming and removing historical figures now seen as negative.\nDiscussing immigration policy critically is considered by many to be taboo in Canada, unless a person is saying good things about it in general. You can hear people say that the government isn't processing enough people, for example, but not often that there are too many or that it costs a lot of money. The trend of migration from Canada to the US would only increase much more in the future as it is going currently, and its role as a stepping stone to migration to the US could increase. The way this would be seen by many in Canada is that they are losing valuable people to the USA whom they consider assets, since a lot of officials have been trying to bring in more people into the country, but not everyone wants to stay in Canada nowadays because of a lack of jobs and opportunities. Canada is quite laissez-faire about migration, with Toronto being a sanctuary city as well.
