When I get on the city bus in the morning it’s on the by the college. I swear I am am the lone single born Canadian on the bus of 50 plus. Most everyone single one being Indian descent.

A few years ago at work. 1 philipino suggested I call the other philipino master. The other guy told me to go to Europe. Me my family were born. They were fresh in Canada to do retail work.

I have been in Canada for 28 years, as an Immigrant myself, i can tell you, you don't need to be a born canadian to see the spike of immigration and changes that happened to this country as a result from that. i went to Niagara Falls last year, i couldn't move around due to the flood of sooooo many people. i understand that it is a touristic place, but the only tourists i saw are coming from India or pakistan. and i doubt that they flew from there. and before calling racist or anything, i am brown too... the latest idea in my head, is to go back home. if i went across an ocean to find the same people that i left, what is the point ?!, i just go back and have them as neighbors....

I was born and raised in India and settled in USA California Los Angeles..from the day one I started working in a very prestigious company because I had a college degree in India master degree in sociology and psychology…but I never had experience RACISM NEITHER MY HUSBAND AND MY CHILDREN…. WE WERE WELCOME IN THE CHURCH VERY NICELY AND AT WORK TO TREATED EQUALLY, IN SIX MONTH I GOT PROMOTED..LIVING HAPPILY EVER AFTER, BOUGHT A BIG HOUSE AND BOTH BOYS GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE WITH A GRADE NOW WORKING IN A VERY PRESTIGIOUS JOB IN STATE….SO BOTTOM LINE I NEVER FELT RACISM IN AMERICA…..GOD BLESS AMERICA….

Cannot get hired because all the jobs are taken by foreigners. Even at WALMART. They have conspired with the Trudeau govt to get grants to hire Indians over native Canadian people, born here. So we are on welfare and living in our parent's house for this BS. I have a Master's!!!!

It’s partly because of these pepole Canada is in ruins. They don’t follow rules and expect Canada to follow theirs. They are corrupt. My Canada is not the same Canada. I was born here and have less rights than those that are not . They play the racial card all the time.

Im a canadian student, born here been here all my life. Well show my shock as I cant even get a low level entry level job because my city is 50 percent indian, and the indians took all the jobs. Im struggling now because of these thieves, a job is not a job and low level unskilled jobs will always be filled rather easily by Canadian hs students.

⁠\nPretty obvious that some Canadians here while claiming to support legal immigration don’t want the immigrants to live like as they were born and raised. \n​​⁠\nSo how does someone eating what they want and dressing how they want hurt the Canadians? As long as they are not covering their faces (for instance), obeying all the laws, paying taxes, being good humans, and not causing safety issues. Seems Canadians are not that keen on diversity, after all, which is ok. But then don’t advertise a diverse multi culture narrative to attract immigrants and then bash them once in. Sounds pretty prejudiced to me.

I'm just frustrated that despite being born in Canada, I feel over the years (2020-) it feels like I'm in another Country.

The government needs to find ways to make raising a family AFFORDABLE for CANADIAN CITIZENS. Our BIRTHRATE is not high enough and we need to return to FAMILY VALUES and have more Canadian born children, regardless of race. The less babies we have, the more immigrants we need from other countries.

Some of the places for rent you showed in this video are in my neighbourhood. My neighbourhood has been predominantly Indian since I first moved here 20 years ago, the the demographic shift isn't as noticeable other than the fact that its gone from mostly Indian Canadian families who are mostly Canadian citizens to now a lot of young Indian students who just arrived in the past few years. But I can imagine how rapid the demographic transformation might seem to someone who lived in a predominantly non-Indian neighbourhood that's now being flooded with Indians. The thing that confuses me is why India specifically has such a huge increase in immigrants since 2020 while before China and the Philippines had just as many if not more immigrants, but China and the Philippines stagnated while India just continues to skyrocket. Funny enough the people I hear who are most against this mass migration are Indians themselves who were either born here or have been living here a lot longer.

Canada needs a quota system immediately. No Canadian wants to be inundated by one ethnic group, i.e. Indians.\nWhere ever you go in downtown Toronto, the majority of folks who serve you are Indians. No relief. Where are the young native born Canadians and the elderly who used to serve us before?

So many people I know who were born here are leaving the country now. There’s going to be a brain drain from Canada because the smartest people with great paying jobs don’t even have a chance at owning a home.

Listen students born in Canada already have a hard enough time getting ahead. Stop with this mass migration it’s hurting more people then you think

No More Immigrants in Canada. Not until we see assimilation. I enjoy the Canadian Culture so much that I continue to embrace it. I was born here so I am a bit weary of the soft approach on immigration.

Go to the mall and you think you were teleported to India. Nothing like being stared at like you are an oddity in the country you were born in.

The percentage that left are all Canadians who were probably born or raised in Brampton and didnt like the feeling of becoming like a foreigner in your own country. It's understandable.

Born and raised here planning my exit.

Imagrents in ontario are taking jobs from born in canada Canadians. \nAnd increasing the homeless rate .\nWe never see homless immigrants in ontario where I live . They own every Timmy's. Subway . Gas staition. Everything really

Born and raised in Brampton from Portuguese immigrants. The demographic in the 70s and 80s had Italians and Portuguese who then moved away. I also moved away.

I was born and raised in Canada and I cannot wait to leave!

Was born here and it's mind boggling how this country economy is in shambles. This government doesn't care about the people they want to take taxes they don't care about anyone.

Serious question. Are white people jealous of immigrant Indians and Chinese? Most white people are poor and uneducated. 3rd world immigrant Indians and Chinese are able to buy homes here in under 5 years of moving here while white people born here can't afford homes. Is it just jealousy? Let me know.

51 % of the Canadian population isn't born in Canada

Canadian, born and raised in Alberta. There is not a single thing about Canada I can say I am proud of. Our healthcare ISN’T universal. The major stuff is, but prescriptions, dental, podiatry, ophthalmology are not. It’s ridiculous that feet aren’t covered, but hands are.\nThis is because of the influence of our southern “neighbour”. America is starting to subsume our culture and our politics. Everything is is expensive, people are less valued than corporations, it’s getting rude, crime’s rising, the conservative’s utopia of hell is becoming more realized each day. I’d leave if I could.

It's not a better life anymore. Sad to say. Ive lived in ontario since i was born and its not great since trudesu got in. Going down hill.

Yeah so what if they've been here for five years, it doesn't matter, they said they were here to study, not for immigration status, so they should go back home, and that's what's fair. Canadian's born here in Canada are stuggling to find fulltime work, without work we can't afford housing, shelter, food, or be able to save for our retirement...we were born in this country, its ours, and we can't go anywhere else without applying to other countries, and frankly, our country can not abbandon true Canadians, that's just not possible...abd its not our government's job to provide shelter, work, or free food to these international or visitors, its their country's responsibility...go back home and demand your country's government for jobs. Leave my country Canada alone now- period.

Notice hiw short the Humerous bones, and the total length of the arms are, on this Illuminati Character. She was definitely born the opposite. And has inverted herself.

Painful part? was the black Canadian born kid who said his having hard time finding a job cause the indian are hiring their own?

NO INDIANS. Please for god sake. I am indian by born never knew this place will be another corrupted india

Enough is enough. Too much money spent on immigrants and illegal immigrants instead of Canadians born. I am not against immigration but the numbers have increased toooooo much. Anyone who breaks the law should be sent back. Immigrants should not be allowed to come to Canada without being properly vetted. Many European countries are changing their turn as crime, homelessness, etc has increased. They should consider using Russians immigration system. Skilled ????

As a born canadian, with all the stuff going on. im tempted more and more to move to Alaska. Our country used to be beautiful, it still is but i'm so ashamed of what it's become

Mass immigration is crucial for Canada because the country is facing low fertility rates, meaning not enough babies are born to maintain or grow the population naturally. Compared to the United States, which has a population of 334 million, Canada, despite being the second-largest country by combined land and water areas, has only 40 million people. This small population limits economic growth and the ability to sustain essential services. By welcoming more immigrants, Canada can boost its population, fill job vacancies, and support economic development. Without immigration, Canada risks falling behind in global competitiveness and maintaining a robust economy.

Also - you went downtown to where all of the drug addicts and homeless in Brampton congregate. To say that the white or canadian born population is struggling is absolutely ridiculous based on who youre speaking to infront of a homeless shelter lol.

Born and raised in Brampton. In the last 10 years, the entire cultural identity has been lost in Brampton, and there's no way back. Immigration is great, but what it's done to Brampton is nothing but sad. No sense of community. No Canadian identity. Time to move!

Anyone who isn't born here should be forced out, The biggest slap in the face was done to me recently and made me completely xenophobic was never racist till i learned this and i'm shocked nobody else is talking about it.\n\nImmigrants get 70% of their wage paid, My ex employer told me that's why he was letting me go, He only has to pay 30% of the wage so by letting half the staff go and only hiring these fks my ex employer can just hire twice or even 3x the workforce.

Born in Toronto in the 60's, I have lived here all my life. Cities change over the decades - esp after a pandemic. I still love it here though...

The most concerning thing to me is that they're taking jobs away from local Canadians who were born and raised here and thus worsening the lives of other Canadians as well, it's a domino effect that'll change what Canada looks like 20-50 years from now.

Interesting. Most of those people weren’t born here and even they don’t want more of their own kind in Canada.

Harrison, try to get PP to talk to you about this, I'm tired of him avoiding this NUMBER 1 issue on the minds of most Canadian Born citizens that want to know what he plans to do. Is he going to finish the job and turn this into Little India? He is sinking in the polls, he better wake up and start putting long-time taxpaying Canadians first, not last. \n\nYou had a tough time even finding some white Canadians to interview, that says it all. Then factor in all the kids these newcomers will have and we are doomed.

It is not racist to say there is too much Indians and some should get deported back. I know a lot of Indian friends from Brampton, Toronto, Mississauga who were born in Canada and also have the same views as me. It is not sustainable and there is no multiculturalism. Indians who were born here and their parents had to adapt, work hard to get to where they are and helped Canada. Most Indians today get benefits, commit crimes, do not adapt to the culture, and ultimately ruin the economy with mass immigration.

think about it, when they make babies, there will be larger population of Canadian born residents. Dont worry too much about it.

Were there no White, Canadian-born people to interview?? All of these people are immigrants or the children of immigrants.

Yes the guy in the black jacket is correct! my friends’ teenage son, Canadian born, could not get a job at the local McDonald’s, because he was not and did not speak Punjabi. Complete discrimination.\nHe could do the job, basic qualifications and speaks one of the native languages of Canada. He should have got in in on that premise.

I'm a afraid on who is allowed to vote for the next priminister. I believe if your not born here. Then they should not be able to vote..and when people go to vote they should be scand properly to see if there born here. School record that they addtend here..

They love america.. they get good jobs easy over here.. most of them get better paying jobs than us citizens and they have no social security number.. They stick together over here, their people get them brand new cars, jobs and apartments.. When i lived in Charlotte many of the women from central america had an apartment, car and job within a week of being here.. Many of the women come here pregnant or immediately get pregnant. They can get free medical and food cards for their children when their born on us soil.. Construction companies, cleaning services, restaurants, salons and hotels will hire them before they hire people who already live here because of their good work ethic reputation.. High rent doesnt bother them because alot of migrant live in groups of 5 to 10 people.. That usually means at least 2 to 3 men working in the same home.. Thats 2 to 3 incomes so 1600 to 2500 rent is nothin to them..Not to mention their wives work half the time so thats another income..

Canada has never had a open immigration policy; i tried twice to emigrate to Canada post University (BA, BSc and PhD) and my application rejected twice ; not enough points. How do these immmigrants get in i ask? (White UK born and aged under 30 years) Canada has and cotinues to vavour immigration from the 'right' parts of the world!

As a Canadian born here, I think the foreign students are the tip of the iceberg. We also have to consider people that came in, and still do illegally including a criminal element. We also have a weak government that brings in folks from war torn countries, and they are not always that countries best people. Look at the Palestinian situation right now, where Most other Arab countries do not want these people entering their countries. We have to ask ourselves why that is, and is it good for Canada to bring in people where the entire Arab world says Nope! I think the entire situation in Israel and Gaza is terrible, and at the same time with some groups even the Children are raised to Hate and or be Violent. So if we are bringing in people who Hate and Support a terrorist organization, we can pretty much guess what’s going to happen inside Canada. In fact we are already seeing the hate and division. They can’t figure out this is NOT Israel, and there are no wars in Canada currently. However if they continue down this path of Hate and violence, Canada could become another battle ground. Including some of these groups who have beef’s back in their own countries! If your hell bent on war, go back and defend your own country, and don’t try that crap in Canada.

No more immigration.! I was born n bred in this country generationally and until every person here has a home we don't need any more immigration!!

Okay so here's what you didn't talk about, what nobody ever talks about. \n\nYou only spoke about the capitals in each province which are the smallest fraction what what Canadian culture and economy are truly like. \n\nBurley Canadian culture, affordable homes, crazy landscapes, island paradises, the artic all hold a rarely told tale. \n\nEveryone complains about affordable housing where virtually everywhere in Canada is affordable. Excluding Vancouver and Toronto metropolitans. \n\nCulture is back and white from these 49th paralleled cities to anyplace else in Canada. \n\n- born, raised and traveled Canada.
