I want to hear what the Native people have to say. All of the tribes in Canada, what they think and feel about everything, and how specifically they would like to be supported because it seems that any efforts made (though small) have missed the mark, or misunderstood the needs, lifestyle and value of Native civilizations. \n\nIt is nice to hear Indigenous people named when speaking on these issues, however I very rarely hear from them, and if I do it is one person, or a non-Indigenous person who studies Native reconciliation, and often is not diverse in terms of age and, as I mentioned earlier, individual tribes.

Actually you are really very good at explaining even a small things.My son is pursuing his comp four year course with coop.But now they are saying about no coop.How can he apply for coop procedure.

I live in victoria, bc. Every single topic discussed on this video is not only accurate but they are things i deal with every day.\n\nI work at a hotel downtown and with all the Homelessness and mental illness my job often seems more about keeping people out of the hotel than letting people in.\n\nWe were one of the last hotels to take cash and debit and we found out the hard way it just doesnt work and now we need credit cards like the other hotels which isnt fool proof and is unfair to people who dont use credit cards (like me) but its better than nothing.\n\nA lot of people are free to move around but they do not function in a way that is compatible with modern society for which there is no escape. A lot of homeless people lead miserable lives it seems and sometimes two people having a bad day end up colliding.\n\nI have a nice home with a roomate but our landlady likes us and isnt as concerned about money as having good tenants. She is 80 something and when she is done with having tenants then i will be in a very tough position and will probably...i dont even know.\n\nTook me years to get a doctor but i have one now and getting pushed out asap is a real thing due to time concerns so have lots of solid facts about your problem and avoid poetry or drama.\n\nEverything in this video are things i think about everyday and its even getting a bit scary.\n\nI love my country and its values but we have a lot of hard work to do i think.\n\nPS i had an accident at work where a chair broke and it tipped backwards and the back of my head hit a protrusion resulting in a minor cut but there was lots of blood.\n\nI called the 811 service and they said to have it checked out and i almost didnt gonto the hospital because i wasnt sure if i could stand waiting for 10 hours.\n\nI was lucky because it took only 2 hours with a bonus tetanus shot. They decided the bump was small enough to not worry about bur i really felt like they were giving 100% while running on empty to get the job done.\nHeroes for sticking with us.

i live inj british columbia and although it is beautiful and an outdoor lovers paradise its also run by the NDP who are destroying everything they touch, its outrageously expensive and the wokeness is disgustingly strong here. if i did not love fishing so much i would leave bc to escape the ndp who ruin my beloved province. we are too small to have any meaningful say in Ottawa and trudeau uses us , manipulating our resources at will to benefit ontario and quebec...2 examples... LNG terminals and open water salmon farms

Sample size is very small - try to do the investigation with 3+ people of same racial background and gender and see if you get same result.

Québec would be my number 1 too. In smaller towns and regions you can get very good houses for less than $250k. The old historic cities of montreal and quebec are breath-taking and it just feels really nice and cozy to live basically anywhere in the province. There are tons of jobs too and we have cold winters but also nice warm summers and beautiful autumns. The food is great because we get fresh local/regional products from fertile fields. Eating seasonal is the best. And it’s so goddamn safe. In the small town where I grew up, we never locked our doors. Never been robbed. And we’re party people too! Bars close alot later than in other places like Ontario, and people here really love soirées and microbreweries. I’m grateful everyday that I was born in a place where it feels so good to live.

Most of the land is crown land, ( even land designated for logging ) the government allows you temporary camping privileges of up to 2 weeks on that land (you can not homestead on it) , the rest is reserved for agriculture or for First Nations. Only 5% is available for freehold housing accommodation , which is why Canada is in a housing crunch. The availability of livable land is so scarce because the land that was available when the country was born was given away to homesteaders. That meant that the land was given away in large parcels. Now it’s almost impossible to make those parcels into smaller parcels without doing what is called a “land assembly” . A land assembly means a developer buys a sum of large parcels , then applies for a permit to sub divide into a new subdivision consisting of smaller houses. Even then the smaller houses that are built will still cost a small fortune, because the developer and all the people involved take a sizeable profit from the sale of the homes.

There's a housing crisis Everywhere for renters coming into the market and first time home buyers. They needs to be more co-ops. I know of huge amounts of seniors living alone that have no place to go and choose to stay in their big homes because there's no other option for them, and if there was they'd prob refuse to go anyway. My mother is one she's 88. We've been trying for 2+yrs. Anything that suddenly opens up she refuses. Lives in a small city in southern BC. More Co-op's are needed.

Future Faking ?\n\nTrust takes Small Steps

I'm a German who travelled to many European cities and when I arrived in overhyped Vancouver I was surprised what an ugly desert of concrete it mostly was. The skyline contains around 90% same looking glass towers. Yes Gastown is nice, but it's only a small part of it.

I live in a small city in the U.S. and rent and home prices are the same if not more expensive than vancouver from what I've seen. There's hardly any diversity in my city and it's a desert with no bodies of water. The air quality is horrible and no one can afford health-care. My last job covered half of my insurance and it still cost me $600 USD a month which hardly covered anything. Vancouver is my dream.

This is how our Embassy helps us in foreign countries. This was not the only instance. The Indian Embassy always avoids us at first whenever we approach them for any help be it Ukraine or Afghanistan. These piece of sh!ts behave like The US Embassy but don't even know how US Embassy helps Americans in foreign countries. No wonder why nobody gives a sh!t if you get harassed in a foreign country and threaten to call the Indian Embassy. Even people in small African countries know how incompetent Indian Embassy is. It's just a joke!!

I live in a small town in Ontario with not many immigrants. I always hear people in the media or politics talking about minority groups and wonder if people from other places feel set apart. I find it a real challenge mentally to not think about it if I see someone who looks different from me…. Like it weighs on my mind, but meanwhile I just want to treat people the same… I think everyone who comes to Canada legally should feel like a part of the country. I’m tired of identity politics that separates more than brings together. It is nice to know that you feel this pressure too… I wish the media/politics would shut up so we can come together while appreciating our differences…. Instead of making people feel like they’re on the outside looking in. Hope that makes sense… I’m sure I’ll hear about it in the comments if I’m off base! ?\nLindsay in Ontario ??

Thats not fear bro, why all Sikhs have ri8 to keep weapon with them , if that country does not allow you to keep this weapon with you , then dont na , don't play victim card or something else,no one have ri8 to keep weapon, we saw so many incident that ,some Sikhs are use there weapon on people, after having small talk with them.

The great replacement of whites all orchestrated by the small hat tribe.

Canadian government is dishonest to everyone, it doesn't matter you are citizen or not. Canada has its master, don't care about ppl. look at Germany, there is no German blood, its all immigrants and government does whatever. same with canada. small group of ppl get rich and thats it.

You all mother fucker who siad that no kirpan this is in sikh religion this is the sikh who not kirpan this is the small weapon wish to the god he av not gun

high prices small wages almost impossible to live in this country\nmy sister just moved to Europe and then she said that there is everything half or even more cheaper\nfor example for car insurance she paid 240 a month in Europe she is paying 15 dollars Canadian a month

Ya let’s add a large city of population to where ? These ppl won’t be moving up into the northern regions; they will be in all then main cities which already have housing crisis, healthcare log jams, traffic delays, good job availability… we already have enough homelessness n lineups at food banks… n until we have an economy where the 100k i gross working 65hrs a week which turns into 67k can at least qualify me for a mortgage for a small house in any city when u make that kind of money and have 150k down; then I don’t see any good in this for any middle class hard working citizen… just liberal politicians who want votes and to look good virtue signalling.. how many of our tax dollars already go to humanitarian aid, and wars in countries 10s of thousands of miles away nowhere near the americas… we have r own problems here but 500 000? A yr that’s ridiculous not definitely not feasible

So, that's the price Trudeau has to pay to Jagmeet Singh for his support? Small India in Canada because the majority of this new immigration comes from India. And they are of course left leaning liberals in their political views. How great, 500,000 new voters a year to support the red prince. Taking under consideration the growing problem of homelessness and healthcare crisis, it's a great move to even further destroying Canada. Canadians will move to Hastings Street like in Vancouver to give more room to newcomers. It's not a joke. This huge number of immigrants have to live somewhere, while we have difficulties finding an apartment. How much he has to hate his own country and culture. First he destroyed our economy giving away money during pandemic and implementing Draconian measures and now “saving” the country by replacing its population.

Sadly Saskatchewan is also extremely dangerous due to extreme weather (mostly tornadoes) because no one issues warnings for them because of there not being enough people. Had and tornado go right through my small town and it did f5 damage but wasn’t even rated.

Everyone: Winnipeg is the coldest city in North America\nMe in my small town in Saskatchewan: it’s -40 RIGHT NOW

Where they gonna live or we just gonna make more Canadian homeless?\n\nThis an aid to small business owners at the cost of everyone else.

immigration drives the economy. $1000 or more is the application fee mom refundable. White people are racist blaming immigrants on economic and housing problems. That's why there is a 25 per cent tax on non landed immigrants buying houses. Each dollar a person spends created $7 in the Canadian economy. You do the math. 500,000 times $1000 times $7. That is $35,000,000,000. billion. Just the application fee generates how much money in Canada. This does not include the people who applied and not allowed in. It is non refunable. This does include how much money generated by New immigrants spending money. New immigrants are what drives the economy with whatever money they bring here and spend buying cars, furniture, basic necessities and if possible houses or condos. Canada has a declining birth rate. What jobs is this guy talking about? Do a job search. There is no manufacturing in Canada. If any are kept in North America will go to Mexico. White people blame China where people are willing to work hard for less and no union formation or complaints. He does not mention the fees visa students pay which is 5 times Canadian Students pay at university or college is used to offset Canadian students so they pay low tuition fees. Knowing the real reason Canada needs visa and immigrants and how much money it generates just by the application fee, immigrants and visa students don't owe Canada nothing and other countries should adopt the same strategy to attract immigrants. Unfortunately the majority of Canadians are English, Scottish, and Irish which are racist blaming Canada's economic and job problems on immigrants. The majority think they are entitled and ignorant and arrogant. That's why they are called mange cake and Malakas and other names by immigrant groups. That is why you have China towns, Greek towns, Italian, Portuguese, INDIA , Jewish and other ethnic towns and ethnic communities don't visit small white towns or move to other provinces. Canada clean up your problem.

I imagine you are checking their vaccine passports on the way in.\n\nThis plus Ontario deciding to trash zoning regulations about for how many people can live in how large or small an area equals third world conditions.

Whatever baits eh. More people in Canada, more money over all. Migrants run small businesses in towns or work job people do not want, buy goods and raise their kids as Canadians.\n\nSome are useless, others will be a burden, a few will be vile. This whole thread is packed with useless comments from burdensome people, anyone can say if any of these prejudiced trope is done by vile people?

Or kuch gadaron ko azadi india se chahiye . Our respected Guru Sahib who fought for Us martyrs their small kids to save others . Yahan sabse jada agar kisi ko izat se dekha jata hai to woh sikh hai or kuch galat logon ki wajah se khamiyaza sab ko bhugatna pad raha hai . But this should not be tolerated Indian embassy ko kada kadam uthana chahiye so that Americans should learn how treat Indian

Sad story really, but there are many other international students who get it even worse. At least Indian students speak English, have a very large support community in Canada (where pretty much every other person is from India). I only speak because I know. Try coming to this land with no English and no connections at all ...and from a small country in South America, then you really are in trouble.

how long a small continent of europe can handle huge continents of africa and asia, i am sure we dont want europe to be like africa and middle east...

For me if you come to a small community college is not easy. Like this people who come straight with no background sometimes even small family own store may not even hire you. Nowsaday jobs in canada is need at least 6 month experience or a certification that you actually did some hands on activity completed in the course. I also agree with some comments research before you come here. Many Indian student are so eager to get a job but without at least a 6 months experience need not easy. That is why sometimes I see many student suffer but in my opinion you have to know why you come here in the first place.

It is important to know the history before commenting anything else\n\nHistory:\nIn 1699, Guru Gobind Singh commanded all Khalsa sikhs to wear five Ks at all times: Kirpan (a small curved sword of any size, shape or metal), Kesh (uncut long hair), Kangha (small comb), Kara (a metal bracelet), and Kachera (a white undergarment).\n\nThe five articles of faith collectively project the Khalsa devotee’s commitment to the Sikh way of life.\n\nAny slight against any of the five articles is considered offensive in Sikhism as these are not considered as mere objects but part of a Sikh’s religious identity.\n\n\n\nSikhs who are amartaari or baptised Sikhs only wear it and it is used only for others safety and cannot be misused for anything else...\n\nIt is allowed in countries like UK, new zealand and Canada.\n\nIt is not his mistake because that policeman didn't know about Sikhism....

Former international student in Canada, I just want to say one word, I will never return ever again. I started my own small business with friends in my own country now and living a peaceful and prosperous life. Will never ever return again. Word of advice to those wishing to go to Canada, you are doomed.

Same as New York city. Apartments way too expensive and way too small to host. Healthcare outrageously expensive as well. And yes, American politics and bias has totally brainwashed Canada.

Why do we want to bring a quarter of the Indian population to our small-towns and cities? I don't understand I'm not trying to be rude I just feel that it will forever change our country.

It's is too small to read

If you keep a gun it's okay but if you carry a small knife which is religious practice you will get arrested nothing just Western logic.

You don't need that knife these days .... also even if you wear one on religious grounds you can try to keep it discreet or concealed ....he's brandishing it like it's a sarkari school in a small Punjab pind ... also let me add.... he's politely complying because he knows it's an American police officer arresting him and those guys shoot first ask questions later....had it been India he and his other whackjob buddies would have attacked the police with edged weapons .... one officer had his hand decapitated by one of the nihangs in India thankfully doctors of PGIMER Chandigarh were able to attach it succesfully through surgery .

Usa be like hypocrisy everyday we saw in America gun violence and mass shootings then a Sikh holding a small knife it's become crime

If it's necessary (which i guess it is) he should wear a small one without an edge and get it inspected every morning, just like they inspect bags for guns, a blunt one would be as effective as a steel ruler, i think we should solve this open mindedly while respecting each other's culture

Sir \nPlz tell me about small family visa only 2 persons and your consultancy fee \nAnd Bank statement

I am an Indian ,Just a doubt , we have gone so far from the nomadic invasion .? At that time the sword was a requirement, in the modern days why can’t it become symbolic ..do they really need to wear big daggers publicly ..? just wear a small golden or silver one instead

United States, a country where a lunatic can carry AR 15, Granade Launcher to school by stating it is his/her Bullshit 2nd Amendment right but when he/she sees a religious man with a symbol of his religion which is knife that too a small one pisses of in his/her pants is beyond ridiculous. \nUnited States of America should fall and be disintegrated forever

I just hope that USA police saves lives of small children from small children who carry guns. But there they fails!! And here, to a peaceful person, they're showing there power!! \n\nHypocrisy ki bhi seema hoti h bhai!!

I think he should have bought a gun for university ... Guns are less dangerous than a small knife.. even kids bring gun in school..

In a country of mass shootings on from kindergarten children to cinema theatres , they are worried and afraid of one man keeping a small religious knife (Kirpan) with him. Kudos

It's laughable. They allow their people to carry rifles without licences. And a small decorative knife is SCARY. Racist AF!

Wow people are literally allowed to carry guns in that country but they feel threatened by a small knife!

Alberta shouldn’t be ranked that high, other than a small sliver near the British Columbian border, Alberta is just as ugly as Saskatchewan.

I was born and raised in Canada. My family immigrated in the 70s. Growing up I was proud to be Canadian but after living in other parts of the world I can tell you, Canada isn't it! \n\nFirstly our Prime Minister is a puppet he works for the Commonwealth and whatever they say goes, they profit off all of your hard work. \nThey keep you sick so you rely on the health care system. Medicate you instead of solving the problem. Doctors are exhausted, rude and over worked, emergency rooms are a disaster and if you book an appointment to see your doctor...be sure you're waiting at least a week. If you go to a walk in clinic you risk getting a doctor that seems like they paid for a fake degree.\n\nYou know when you go to a mall in one town and then hear about a mall in another town that has really cool different things??? Ya, not here! Everything is monopolized! Same stores everywhere you go. there's a mall in Toronto called Vaughn Mills mall, when I was in Calgary they have an exact replica just a different name. Small businesses are hard to keep because everything is so expensive. There needs to be more indoor things for people to do in the winter. \n\nWhoever said Canadians are polite, has never been to Alberta!!!! I've never experienced racism in my life like I did out west, not just Alberta but also Northwest Territories and Manitoba. \n\nOn top of that they want everyone to be gay and not believe in God, they push the agenda so hard in the schools, they institutionalize and confuse your kids. If you believe anything different they literally hate you. The children are hypersexualized...teenage girls looking like they're 30 year old drag queens. They bully kids so badly in school, especially boys. Parents have no time to get involved because they're busying working multiple jobs to pay for their 4000 dollar mortgage, husband and wife barely see each other. And because they're not involved the children have no respect for their elders or teachers. the teachers don't care to get involved like they used to because everything's a liability...a problem. We had a 13 year old girl call a male teacher a pedophile for pushing a little girl on the swing. He quit on the spot, because now he's worried for his career. Kids have no shame anymore. \n\nIF YOU WANT QUALITY OVER QUANTITY (WHICH YOU MIGHT NEVER GET), DON'T COME HERE! or, Come here and send all your money home but don't educate your kids here unless you have enough money to put them in private schools and there are good private schools. If the only thing you want out of your life is freedom, freedom to just be left alone and no one hounding you...you like being alone. Then, that you can have here. \n\nIf you are from a colonized country we are all slaves to the system!

The fact that it’s a small number of people doesn’t mean Islam is any less to blame. Do you see Christians, Hindus, Sikhs doing this anywhere in any number? There are obviously many in the Islamic community that tacitly support this.
