if a government cannot ensure the basic livelihood of the people and govern its own country well, then it must be corrupt

The only solution to this is government should freeze bringing immigrants and pathway for students to become immigrants for few years until Canada overcomes with it's own poverty. Majority of people do not have a standard life in Canada now. Canadian born children have hard time to find jobs and their future is uncertain now. Government is totally responsible for creating this disaster.

Lets change the europeans for this hard working people

Saying that “to many people are chasing apartments” is not the cause of real estate prices increasing and that the decay of social services and lack of infrastructure is just nonsense Canada has increased the public service sector by 150k job since 2000s it’s the fastest growing sector of job since 2020

I can hear the pain in Landlord's voice. The government should make fair rules for people who have worked hard for decades.

The government says we need immigrants to fill the jobs left by retiring boomers. Millennials, plus GenX ers out number Boomers so there are lots of people out there to fill jobs. Corporations like Mac Donalds, Tim Hortons etc. want immigrants so they can keep their costs low and make even more money.

people are going to start taking things into their own hands

also if you go to other countries that isn't first world. why do they h8 immigrates? and they don't like other people from third world countries as well. who the bigot one now?\nmy parents are immigrants, so im not really against immigrants. i think it is better if we have enough housing and then open the border more. \npeople joke about why....because trudeau needs to import voters cause this own citizens are trying to vote him out

No wonder people do not want to rent out nowadays with disgusting rogue tenants like these. The system is broken. And the govt does not give a damn to fix it. The govt is equally responsible along with these rogue tenants for this ugly mess, all the govt wants is to tax vacant condo home owners for their own policy blunders and lethargic system. Who in the right mind would want to rent out after seeing this. My sympathies go out to these condo home owners for the plight they are in who are running from pillar to post to get their dues and to get these rogue tenants evicted.

I think I saw that young woman on the news a while ago saying her rent was going up . two sisters anyways . I'm sorry to her about her sister. but you have a rental agreement with Mr Singh and should adhere to it or get out . and the other people should get out of that house also or keep paying your rent till you come to an agreement with the owner of the home in Brampton . the law has to change .

Get people to drag her out of the condo and move all her things into storage and give her the storage unit key. Also give her 2 weeks rent in a cheap motel. Then move into the condo and change the locks.

How can people afford to pay rent?They end up setting up tents in the streets....they shouldn't have let housing prices go up in BC years ago....

We vote in politicians to represent our best interests. How is the current rates of immigration benefitting the average person in any way? It doesn't mean we have anything personal against those moving here, but surely you can't expect people to support a policy that lowers their quality of life in every single metric.

Canada government should not bring any people for the next 4 years. And if they bring people they should stay other provinces for atheist 5 years not Ontario province specially TORONTO.

My advise to landlords, do not rent to “such” people. Newcomers on work permits or student visas are a better bet because they will pay out of fear of losing their credit or status in Canada

Canada has become a joke and the entitlement of some people is astounding.

They need to get buses grab these people and take them back across the border

Canada isn't a nation of immigrants at all. Canadians are the descendants of immigrants the same as everyone else on the planet, including the indigenous. That is, unless your family has never left the place where humans first evolved.\n\nUnlike modern immigrants, the first white settlers in north America did not sail into an established society with power stations, health care, water and power distribution networks etc., to get the benefit of other people's hard work and investment. They started from scratch.

Landlords are parasites, they rely on other people to actually go out and stimulate the economy. The whole business model is to target high wage earners who cant afford a mortgage for whatever reason. Career landlords can cry whatever crocodile tears they want. They add no value to society.

Not just indian brahh, canada now is full of asian people especially chinese and korean

Human rights aren't for people of colour in Europe.

Apart from excess immigrants arriving, Canada must not lose its culture and heritage. We MUST NOT give up our traditions just because we have more immigrants. Diversity has become our adversity. People coming to stay here must also be patriotic!!!\nOn the security front, times have changed…. We need to be very careful as to who enters Canada, or even stop it for a few years!!!

Trudeau and the ignorant people who vote for his lies and his NDP coalition have failed Canada. A whole generation of young people will have to give up on the dream to own a home thanks to the choices of voters for the past 9 years. They realize now what they have done to their country and of course think its someone else's problem. Liberal rule under Paul Martin was not like this, neither under Conservative management of Harper who carried us through the 2008 collapse. Trudeau and those sick minded supporters have wrecked all that hard work well into the future.

I don't understand the way theose people are thinking!! Yes, you might get away with a year or 2 of not paying rent, but at some point, you'll get evicted, and your name will be on the Openroom website, how TF then you'll get a landlord to accept your application then ? You might saved 20 or 30K, but you'll spend it in few months living in a hotel hoping for someone to rent you their place

For the people supporting the tenant the landlords should stop long term renting altogether. Either Airbnb or sell. There will be reduced rental supply and you can count on government to solve the housing problem.

Of course the Biden administration won't let Venezuelans.\nThese people will vote for Republicans.

No more. Stay out of Europe. More and more native people are waking up. To say we are angry is an understatement.

Immigration? VP Harris needs to remind the American people about the sequence of events that lead to a twelve your old girl from Houston, TX losing her life at the hands of two undocumented migrants and he's toast:\n\nFACTS:\n\n1) Former President Trump told his supporters during a rally in Nevada that he is fine with being blamed for tanking the bipartisan border bill currently negotiated in the Senate. (Jan. 29, 2024)\n\n2) Senate Republicans blocked a bipartisan border package Wednesday, scuttling months of negotiations with Democrats on legislation intended to cut back record numbers of illegal border crossings. (Feb 7, 2024)\n\nThe republicans want chaos, not solutions!!

Start having children again Canadians! Unfortunately, your government has been running a ponzi-like administration for decades. They need a continuous influx of people to maintain the tax base. Without births, we require immigration!

The First Americans were pushed off lands and given Casinos Europeans were the first illegals acting like they didn't cross a whole ocean to get here and if they do build a wall its not to keep people out but to keep you in but nobody's worried about a National debt that no one will be around to see get paid off America it's always someone else to blame one side to every story regardless if it's the truth or not

The Saudi foreign minister just told the whole world that his country is willing to help commit genocide against Israel for the Israelis defending their people and their country. Unbelievable.

You're the kindest person i have seen on the internet lately, you answered all the questions, some people don't even read what others asked before them & understand, they ask again and You're not tired. ❤❤❤❤ please be good all the time, i am hungry of kind people around me

As an immigrant in Canada, I don’t think those interviewed are anti-immigration; they’re just pointing out a true fact: there’s no structure to welcome more people. It’s that simple. Why invite more people if they can’t support the ones already here?

It’s amazing people against immigration when their ancestors were immigrants to North America

It’s not safer. lol. There’s still murders happening here. My ex was rapped and murdered last year. I live in Woodstock Ontario more serial killers here than the rest of the country. lol and it is compact. Most of Canadas population is in sourthen Ontario. Not many people live more then 2 hours away from border.

This is just as harmful for new immigrants coming in, as it is for existing Canadians who already live here. This is a country of immigrants, so when the people who push back on this flooding of the country are called racists for it, it's a bold-faced lie. No decent Canadian is anti-immigrant, but they are against a planned demolition of the nation.

Without a LOT of immigration the truth is that western countries like Canada and most European countries would simply collapse in a few decades for the problem of demographic decrease... My european country of 10 million habitants is being literally 'invaded' by a huge influx of immigrants as we speak and to be honest there is no other way to make the country viable in the long term. We the western people stopped having kids decades ago and now there's no turning back...

white people cant stand someone else invading their land but white people especially america love to invade other countries.

I agree as a canadian canada is becoming too expensive to live in, a lot of people are choosing to leave. The gouv should make sure the immigrants who came do not go back as their countries are now better than canada

It's bizzare how people think of housing as a right like water. Have they ever done the work of building a house? Could they? It's quite the ask of other people to call it your right.

I'm an immigrant for 25 years and I have to agree, Canada is overtaking immigrants. The infrastructure is not enough to accept those numbers. People are having trouble finding e rent, forget about the housess

Because you let over 1 million Indian people in last year alone.

We live in a post immigration society. There's numerous people here now. Jobs are becoming automated and AI will change the job market in the years to come.

Most people realize this has nothing to do with a persons race. Its population size. When you increase population size drastically it effects infrasture when government dont invest x amount of dollars into system. You have to plan. Look at our housing market. SUPPLY AND DEMAND ISSUES. When you increase population size and there's not enough homes to house people that only increases the costs. Whats going on is suicide to alot of people. Also media does not want to report why Liberal government has 4x increased immigration in a yr span compared to 1x. Also why is there racial preference for India? The amount of immigration coming in from India is much higher then other races. I'm curious about that.

BECAUSE WE HAVE NOWHERE TO LIVE, CANT AFFORD FOOD OR GAS YET WE LET IN A MILLION PEOPLE.

We are bringing people in that do not want to assimilate to canada . You come here eat rice and beans do not buy furniture dont go to the returants and hold the money uuntill they go back home ..I Work in construction and here it everyday

Maybe because people are sh*tting on beaches, walking across subway tracks, disobeying traffic laws, loitering, littering and disturbing the peace. Basically turning Canada into the countries they came from ?‍♀️

TOO MANY PEOPLE TOO FAST, AND NOW ALL SOCIETY IS CRUMBLING! EDUCATION CRISIS, HEALTHCARE CRISIS, JUSTICE CRISIS, AND HOUSING CRISIS! THE JAILS ARE FULL, THE PARKS ARE FULL OF HOMELESS!

I think the real reason are:\n\n1. Refugees from Ukraine, Afghanistan, Syria and Asylum seekers from Africa.\n2. Foreign investment in housing was allowed until 2022 which played a major part in prices going up.\n3. 1+ Million International students allowed in 3 years.\n4. Average Canadian doesn't want to work a minimum wage job, especially now working with foreign people.\n\nBlaming one government, country or race wont help. That is just jealousy towards most common looking immigrant, which are South Asians.

The West generally should have prioritized low-income housing in the cities. Housing and food are basic needs for all humans. In Asia, there was the priority of all governments. The second is education for young people.
