Homeless crime-infested druggie encampments are the biggest issue in Canada. Looks like a third-world country and none of those people are Indian, Pakistani, or Mexican.

Racism towards India is on peak. There are chinese africans and middle eastern immigrants too. Atleast we Indians work hard and don’t rely on refugee. We aren’t like the homeless violent white people too.

Nice try… you ask a leading question to a brown immigrant about too many Indians… who laughs and says yes , without really understanding your angle. Then you speak to a white guy who is talking about homeless crime and you turn it around to City is full of crime….the jealousy is that the Indians are doing better than whites.

It's pretty crazy how you interview 'true' Canadians and they're homeless hicks, presumably with drug and other issues.. But Indian immigrants are the issue - People whom are happy to move half way across the world in hopes of a better life, are thriving and being productive members of society. One demographic is squandering their opportunity and one is not.

The only Canadians that live in Brampton are the homeless ones. the rest of Brampton is full of foreigners. Unbelievable how entitled these people are it's no secret that Canada's job Market is flooded with foreign Indian workers. And to hear that one student say that the government should be listening to them just goes to show how selfish they really are. They don't care about Canada or Canadians they just care about themselves.\nI love this new journalist by the way. Hope to see more of her. :)

So that Indian woman thinks our govt should make jobs for these students? WTH. Canadians are suffering with homelessness, job loss, employment crisis by somehow she thinks these student should be prioritized.

Too many Indian temporary students, the newcomers, are suffering on top of all canadians. If one of the 2nd largest population immigrates to Canada, it affects all of us. It's like pulmonary ventilation. When the volume decreases( job), the pressure increases( job crisis). All the food, Hospitalities, and health sectors are filled with temporary Indian students because of Recruiters in HR are all Indians and their priorities are only Indians as they understand these 70% Indian students have huge loan back home and came with fake financial documents that were presented at the Canadian consulate at India. Need to investigate them. Every day, there are Indian newcomers, and our Canadians homeless and Burglars are on the rise. The Govt has to stop issuing a visa now.

One day Canada will be ruled by Indian Punjabi and real Canadians will be homeless

3 questions: 1. How so many people from India immigrated into Canada? Is it something they forcefully entered. 2. The drug addicts and homeless people who are mostly Europeans , are because of immigrated Indians? 3. How come your government still keeps opening the door and earning money?

?hmmmm, I see potential trades people,doctors, nurses, truck drivers,in our homeless population….if the government worked as a smart mature government,they could have helped solve some of the employment difficulties we r having from within,instead of the immigration problem we have now.\nSome dirty politics happening in the government ,& dirty immigration I believe from within the goverment.\nCanada = little India ??‍♀️\nSomeone in government is pulling the immigration strings in 1direction,I don’t see an overwhelming amount of any other immigration other than East Indian…that’s just my opinion

What Canada NEEDS is AFFORDABLE Housing for the working poor, OW, ODSP and get the homeless who want housing.\n\nAll Pubic Colleges and Universities should be AUTOMATICALLY adding a housing cost for International Students. This way these foreigners aren't creating housing problems for the local community. So Colleges and Universities should be buying property within REASONABLE DISTANCE from their Campuses that are only for CURRENT STUDENTS actually taking classes. \n\nThe Government needs to be RESPONSIBLE for LOW INCOME housing. More people are finding themselves unable to take care of themselves. Which leads to severe drug abuse and homelessness.\n\nNew Development should be required to be the most effective version and sustainable version of Green. 15% of the apartments should be for low income, OW, ODSP and Elderly. This will help the Government properly plan out Public Housing across each Province and Territories.\n\nThe next question is why are all these East Indians who aren't becoming TRUSTWORTHY doctors, nurses, business owners competing to live in Parkdale, Toronto versus the East Indian Hubs in Ontario.

I am Indian and the lady who was talking about adapting to the culture in the country you’re in, is absolutely right. \nBut then, Canada also needs immigrants and workers who can take up minimum wage jobs and most of them pay taxes. But yes, there are also antisocial elements that cause problems for everyone. Perhaps, to Canadianize the immigrants, the Govt can have cultural exposure and introduction classes. I wont make a drastic change but would definitely be a start. That being said, I am not sure how Homelessness and Drug Addiction is a related to immigration, I would consider it a mental health problem.

They all work. I haven’t seen an Indian, Chinese, Arab homeless beggar yet. They want to work for Tim’s, Walmart, etc. Do you?

The main problem is the job market of Canada \nBecause all the homeless or drug addicts are whites who are unable to compete with Indian immigrants.\nYes there are many problems with Indians too \nBut the way these people are victimising the indians is shocking

So the big question is would you rather have the Indians or the homeless? Some illogical people would say the Indians cause the homeless for the Whites, not drugs.

So white people in Canada are getting poor, drug addicted and homeless and it's the Indian's fault why you can't earn money and keep using drugs? Pathetic. Certainly, a skill issue

Tue there are many Indians. Many do really really well but what do Indian have to do with whites dying of addiction! Majority of the homeless in Canada are whites. Indians on other hand band together and survive. Thats why live appaling living conditions like 16 people living in same house. Since they are willing to do that some land do exploit them. Most of these landlords are Indian in Brampton and Chinese. However most dont complain because they are willing take pain save some money. Rather than complaining white learn that there better ways to survive rather than getting sucked in to drugs.

Im Bangladeshi-American, born in America. My parents were immigrants. I dont understand how its anyone's concern what language people speak with family and friends or if someone does not know English. In a free country, you can speak whatever language you want, wear your cultural clothing, and eat your culture's food. why does one need to adapt to the local area? The law doesnt oblige them... Also, these indians came legally no? In a democratic Canada that let them in... people voted for this directly or indirectly. Also, to your point, its the whites that are homeless and on drugs, how are indians to blame for white failure in Brampton? Indians have strong work and study ethic, so you should welcome that. Itll help your nation progress. These people are just racist. They dont want non-whites to become a majority. Thats all it comes down to.

I respect people who comes from other countries and working their ass off. Maybe too many around but at least they are hard workers .. I have never seen homeless,drug addict indian person to be honest.What I witness is, some people don't appreciate that they are priviliged to born in such a good country like Canada ,but people who is coming from poor and corrupted countries absolutely knows what is to be priviliged and they appreciate it.Also, you cannot deny a visa because they are coming from India. BC is ,highly populated with Asians as well.Again,you cannot deny a visa because they are coming from Asia.

I am an Indian ..hoping to get to Canada..I WILL make a political party to FAVOUR POOR homeless Canadians(good ones that doesn't use drugs)...Canadians should be housed then immigrants...and The housing rate should be low

Canada brings in immigrants to poorer non profitable (not paying taxes because not contributing) neighborhoods for clean up! Why because immigrants such as Indians are eagar to work and are entrepreneurs if no work is available providing more work which revives the neighborhood which in turn is profitable to the Canadian government $$. Also Indian immigrants are smart! and educated! \nThe Canadian government isn’t stupid bringing in immigrants it adds to the governments income for the future! It will also probably pay for the homeless and your drug addicts!

Quality of the Indian crowd has deteriorated since I left Canada in 2017. Educated Indian people are leaving Canada because they are struggling to make ends meet due to lack of opportunity in Tech and many other fields. Do you think that they are going to work in odd jobs? On top of that they get these for free: extremely cold weather, lower wage and crazy inflation. Its good that people are exposing Canada and only crude, uneducated and raw Indian crowd that is coming and settling here. Your politicians and education system deserve to be blamed. Your colleges and universities betrayed International students who wanted to work in their own field of choice by promising them every possible help. Unfortunately most of the students realize this only after living there for a few years. By that time your universities and colleges have already gulped the money paid by the international students. They don't care if you die on streets or remain homeless or go back to your own country. STOP COMPLAINING.

What is the connection between poor white homeless canadians with the indian migrants? Its seem that the canadians is trying to find a boogeyman

So if those Indians start taking drugs and go homeless like those Canadian-born junkies you talked to, that would mean integration and adapting to the new home's culture?! I'm neither Indian nor Canadian-born but c'mon! What's wrong if those Indians listen to their parents who advised them to go to college, get a degree and and then get good job while those Canadian-born white parents told their kids do whatever that pleases you and become what makes you happy? And here they are: adicted and homeless living on taxes paid by hard working people like Indians. I'm Iranian-born but I saw a lot of hard working Indians and who cares if they want to live the way they want? And honestly it's none of anyone's business. It's a free country and you can't ask a Sikh to remove his turban or a hindu to stop going to his temple. Instead why not white people try to teach their kids the value of education and learning new skills so that they won't turn to junkies and homeless in their 60s relying on churches to feed them?!

?? this is the most biased thing i've ever seen lol bro's talking to the local crackheads, the guy at 6:00 is literally talking about the white homeless people who fight and live near the church/7-11 and this True North guy is trying to somewhere relate that to Indian people? Brother don't come to my city talking down on it.

Too many Indians your whole episodes is hate mongering against Indians. Indians did not kick the Canadians out of Brampton. All the Canadians you have interviewed are homeless drug addicts or living on welfare. The Indians who come to Canada are educated hardworking and not a burden on the government. They contribute to the society with their hard earned money to support the people so called white canadians you have interviewed. Stop your hate speeding massages. You are a shame in the name of journalism.

To all those people saying the Indians took your jobs. You’re full of crap. Tons of work in this country to do. You are just too lazy to look for the right one. As much as I dislike seeing some of them making a bad name for the rest of Indians. The ones I know are very well educated people who come here to work. I’ve never seen a homeless Indian or one walking downtown drugged out of their faces. Every crack head and homeless person I see in any city in this country is straight up white, including the ones in your video. Go figure. Also, what you feel now is what the natives felt when you white folks came over, only difference is that nobody is rapping or killing your kids and separating families. God bless you all.

I think brampton transit is making the most revenue from the new indians. I am a guyanse canadian who live in Brampton since 1986. I think indians from india are very quiet people.The homeless white are drug addicts and panhandling in the city that are complaining.

same here in Australia the very sad thing you notice is there are no indian people that are homeless the same here what is going on

TOO MANY INDIANS, IS IT A BAD THING?\nWHY NO IMMIGRANTS ARE HOMELESS EVEN THO THEY COME WITH NO MONEY BECAUSE THEY WORK HARD, THEY DON'T SPEND MONEY ON DRUGS. \n\nWHY EMPLOYERS HIRES IMMIGRANTS, THEY WORK HARD , AND NO MONDAY MORNING SICK CALLS EVERY WEEK.\n\nABOUT ADAPTING CALTURE, \nINDIAN BELIEVE IN STICK WITH THERE ROOTS NO MATER WHERE THEY GO.\n(DOES BRITISH ADAPT INDIAN CULTURE WHEN THEY WERE IN INDIA FOR 200 YEARS??)\n\nALSO NEXT TIME TALK TO SOME EDUCATED PEOPLES WITH JOBS IS WELL.\nHOMELESS ARE ALWAYS PISSED OF ON SOMETHING, PEOPLE LIKE TO BLAME OTHERS FOR THEIR PROBLEMS.

Well how funny is this... Their economy depends on mieby coming from Indian students. They want money paid twice as it is for locals still they will feed and suffer from those who are unrest creators and converters of their girls women's to Muslims but abuse Indians ha ha ha... Pls. Tell this to your goverment to pass a bill remove Indians from there you will only be left with dependents in your country and sure not only thousands homeless but clothe less as well on streets... Yeh am missing those orphans too who would be commuting crimes who are left by those whose religions allow 4 marriages have once wide stand in there enjoy their lust and may be a few years from now soon it will be said there was a rich country which was located near the united states named Canada

2 things: (1)How are Indians to be blamed for the white people homelessness and alcohol/drug use. (2) Since when did Canada belong to the white man? Never was , never is! This land belongs to the Indigenous people, and immigrants build Canada. Everyone is immigrants here, all white skin , French , Indian etc (excepy the Indigenous people). So spred love and unity in this Diversity known as Canada. There are always a majority of races in every city, and that should not raise any questions of racism and judgemental remarks. Instead, focus on drug use , homelessness, and crimes.\n\nAlso, I notice mention of so many Hindu phobia remarks and racism comments in this video as if Hindus are attacking and causing harm on the country or world by extension. Indians come to Canada and bring with them knowledge, culture, values, ethics, money and things that uplift and adds value to Canada, they dont come free and ask for any handout and live on taxpayers money! FACTS IS FACTS , do the research.

So many sly comments against Indians but when you went to the most dangerous part of Brampton, it was all ethnic white Canadians, who are drug addicts and homeless. So Indians aren't the problem here. Canada brought in too many immigrants and the local ethnic population could not compete with newcomer Indians who can often endure a lot of hardships and find innovative ways to earn money and live decently. Yes there may be 15 in a house in some places but at least they're not doing drugs or roaming homeless. Not immigrants' fault that the govt miscalculated and locals couldn't compete with the newcomers.

Almost feels like reverse colonialization from all the British territories. First, they converted the UK and then to the other commonwealth nations. With China making up 18% of the world's population, India at 18% and Africa at 18% expect to see more from these 3 countries (the last is a continent). Although once they have citizenship they are all Canadians. Shame the interviewer only talked to almost homeless non-Indian Canadians! They will all have to learn English or French eventually, and drink Tim Hortons. Need for better integration and municipal planning. Let's see what the next election brings for the Prime Minister.

Too many white families don’t take care of each other hence the homeless population. The family support system isn’t there for them to keep them on track. This is something whites can learn from Indians. Hope nobody is offended, but I wanted point this out.

?????????\nOoooooooh we only want to hire smart people…. Oh wait! Why is it all Indian… ???\nOh wait homeless white people…?\nThey shouldn’t be so lazy and living off the government.

I, for one, welcome our new Indian overlords. I'd like to remind them as a trusted YouTube personality, I can be helpful in rounding up homeless white people to toil in their samosa factories.

I agree with the woman they ain't Canadians at all they are just Indian immigrants that are just impacting the economy and just causing the crime rate and homeless\nRate to go up high.

Lol hardly seen indian people homeless in brampton and in terms of crime, i believe it’s much safer than rexdale and other areas.

R u gonna blame drugs and homelessness of canadians on indians? Seriously!! I bet these druggies work very hard to get their stash

Why are all the homeless and drug addicted people white and not Indian? That should tell you why the Indians took over. What you put in is what you get out and that is the outcome you see now.

number 1 immigrants in Canada and Australia are Indians. top 2 immigrants in the US in UK are Indians. next immigrants after hindus with huge population are muslims. each family have lots of children. while the caucasians, japanese and south koreans keep on decreasing their population. i hope mennonites increase their population. whether you agree or not theyre the only race that have no crimes. theyre not homeless. theyre honest people. they work hard specially in the farms.

In all fairness India is #1 the most racist country in the world, the least trusted country in the world and the only race that will use white names culturally appropriate and hold businesses that hire only Indians, and scam English countries. See the Uber driver that was murdered by an old man being scam. That was Indian scammers. They never face consequences for their behaviour. They bring down the quality of life whereever they live, watch a Ted Talk with evidence, they dont follow rules and regulations and abuse loopholes more than any culture. \nAs a white person, ive never experienced racism except by Indians.\nRefused work for not speaking Punjabi in Canada and refused housing for not being Indian, refused servicer for not being Indian.\nNo Korean, chinese, arab of any kind has treated me with aloof and diamissive behaviour the way an Indian has, as though I'm beneath them.\nEvery burger fast food restaurant that serves beef is now extra sketchy to me now while people that have never eaten beef and frown on me for doing so speaking to other staff members in Hindi maybe saying, these burgers fell on the floor, aah who cares its just a white person.\nWhy is the staff all Indians now.\nBecause of preferential hiring by Indian management. Youll see homeless white and black people outside though who's country failed them and handed off power to outsiders while framing white people as racist and Indians as victims.\nTurns out Hassan Minhaj lied about his victimhood, and I bet this Indian caused the anger this woman caused and although the man never uttered racist words, I bet his actions to bait her anger were motivated by racism. Afterall Indians are clever and are masters of social engineering.

you see drug addicts roaming the streets in brampton? homeless camps? Nope....go down the road to caucasion hamilton or abandoned niagra falls / st cathrines or what about overdose central oshawa or kingston and ask yourself which is worse. Rather have the Indians. They have great food, they run their own buisnesses , they are well educated , they create business and oportunities. No one feels they have to cross the street because they see an indian walking towards them ? Go worry about jane and finch

Well, at least we now know what the homeless people in Brampton think! I don’t think this was your greatest bit of journalism. As a resident of Brampton I don’t mind our Indian diaspora, but we are really concerned that scum landlords are renting floor space in houses to young people just arriving from India, ruining nice neighborhoods and taking advantage of naive newcomers!

Being an Indian in Halifax, I try to speak, behave and live like a Canadian does. I assimilate. That said, this video is a racist dog whistle. Pitting homeless Canadians with immigrants living in absolute apathy is a classic case of capitalists who pit people against each other to distract us while they rob us in broad daylight.

More then 250 thousand Sikh soldiers Gave their life in world war 2 . Fighting along side of Canadian . American. British and French . India is a commonwealth Country. That meant Indian had every right to travel to any commonwealth country up to 1949. When British still ruled India.The way host of this show only see Immigrant that are colorful.. But others that look like him can be from South Africa who came to Canada this morning is Canadian . Look around how many homeless people you see are Asian. Find out why and help them. Our Temples serve free food 24 hour to anyone that visit. Check out the amount donation Hospitals Homeless and food bank receives from Canadian from Asian ancestry . The lady who said immigrant should fellow culture of Canada, She herself is Immigrant. Her lack knowledge . Asian are not just Sikhs Hindu, Buddhist Jains and so on, Asian also are Christian Catholics etc. Canada is country of Immigrants Other Then Natives.

There are no Indian homeless, Majority of homeless are White. What does it say. Why don't homeless people work. You guys want to earn from immigrants, but have problem when they prosper. What a hipocrisy

So a true Canadian is white ? An Indian or Arab or African with Canadian citizenship, paying taxes and investing money in Canada is a Foreigner ? Another thing homeless or drug addicted white people are because of immigration ?????

Immigrants will automatically gather at a city where their community thrives. It happens to be Brampton, with Indians immigrating here from 3 generations ago, and contributing massively to its growth. The Indians you interviewed here , were taken out of context . They were joking about how many Indians are there. Yes , the homeless majority would be white, try also running some stats around folks on social assistance, folks who are choosing not to work and folks who are actually willing to work and contribute to the country economy. \nThere is a reason government keeps promoting immigration , think about that. Wait till the inflation keeps thriving , job cuts continue and Canada no longer seems interesting (it's already happening ) . When the assistance cheques get cut , let's see who you blame then.
