Canadian here, you mentioned no political leader is trying to bring these numbers down WHILE SHOWING the extremely popular leader whos promising to bring these numbers down

Cnn take a good look. You helped take part in this when you played politics for the left. What is sad is you're too self-righteous to recognize you help cause this.

Hi Alina, well done on your decision. This is not an easy thing to do. As well as Canada, i have lived in the uk and Greece. I don't want to make things harder for you but i want to warn you that the grass is never greener on the other side. I am very disappointed with Canada to be honest. My wife and i are moving from Alberta to New Brunswick next week in search of a quieter, calmer, cheaper life. Let's see what happens. I completely agree with all of your points. I could easily get political but i won't. Suffice to say, keep doing what you love. Screw the system that is forced on us. We work for no return. Work doesn't pay anymore. Focus on what fills you up no matter where!

That's not what asylum is . Asylum is for people escaping political persecution. NONE OF THESE PEOPLE ARE ESCAPING POLITICAL PERSECUTION. THEY JUST WANT TO GET FREE HEALTH CARE AND SOCIAL ASSISTANCE.

Why? Because corporations own politicians. This is just symptoms of inequality expressed in too much money in politics. If you want to address the symptoms, increase in migration to raise rents and lower wages, then go after money in politics, after the 1%.\n\nEdit: just look at how corporations are posting record profits, at how the very few own the majority of the assets. Focusing on the symptoms is distracting from the root causes. The entire system is designed to remove wealth from the bottom and funnel it to the top.

I hold a Masters degree in Computer Science from a prestigious technical university in Europe. I have over 15 years experience with software engineering in different industries, such as finance, science and big pharma. I can live any country I want with my background and experience, easily making over 6 digits paycheck. \n\nHowever, I’d not consider living in Germany because for one simple reason: the political environment. The hardcore right is on full rise. Racists everywhere. The Nordics are much better.

If the new comers can then only work part-time, as most Germans do since services are terrible, then this problem cannot be resolved without a very large number of immigrants per year. This will not be politically viable for several reasons such as housing, school places, among others.

Not enough housing, overcrowded schools, over worked health system, gang warfare who identify from the country they come from, political baggage imported into our communities and government...\n\nAnd being called racist if you question immigration.

Boring politics is a good thing, not a bad thing.

So how are you going to keep those workers with the political situation against immigration being what it and you know, the high cost of everything? Like we all know employers aren't about to pay those immigration workers high wages. Am sure one or two will be dragging large bags but the majority are going to be in the same boat as the people who left found themselves.

- everywhere\n\n- because of the behavior of many many immigrants..\n\n-because of the political correctness forbidding to talk about it.

When I saw that this was posted by the Guardian my first thought was the article would be a narrative slanted heavily to the left. I'm glad to see that there was some accurate reporting, but also not surprised to see the usual left wing disingenuousness. For example it gives the impression that the Take Back Canada Reddit group was taken down because it was somehow racist, violent, etc., rather than the more likely explanation that Reddit, like most other big tech platforms no longer allows discussions that go against the political narrative. \n\nLet's not forget that The Guardian and those of their ilk are largely responsible for the mess Canada is in. They sold the Marxist narrative. They promote wokeism, and the idea that to have a contrary opinion on immigration is racist. Now they're trying to pretend they care. It's all BS.

My fellow non-Germans….Don’t make the mistake of coming to Germany right now. The country will sooner or later have a crisis due to its politics and their companies falling behind in competitiveness due to incompetence and arrogance. Instead of blaming themselves, they will blame immigrants, including you. Also, if you are a qualified foreigner, you will have to come to terms with being a second class resident, watching how natives enjoy their life and expect you to do their work. Only “luxury jobs” with a strong union like IG Metall will ensure you a fair treatment. But most of these jobs are occupied by 55+ yo people that are waiting for retirement without innovating or contributing absolutely nothing to their company. \nThe woman in the video is happy because she married a local (for love of course). With her low salary as a nurse she would be absolutely miserable and lonely. The Indian guy has a family, and well, he comes from India.

another loop hole is just showing up to Canada and asking for political Asylum.

It’s politics, business and money corruption

Liz seems to exemplify the following, which I learned in a first year macroeconomics course… The first rule of economics is understanding limited resources (supply and demand curves along with production advantages); wether you are a private entity, a non-governmental organization, or a formal government, this rule is unquestionable… Moving on… The first rule of politics, particularly with the progressive left (and I say this as a classical liberal) is to ignore the first rule of economics… No matter how sophisticated technology becomes, a centralized government will never be as efficient as the invisible hand.. Likewise, progressives these days (which apparently includes most liberals from what I see), never think about how open borders impacts housing demand, which impacts the market price for housing.. Yet, they somehow think the government can fix all of this (simultaneously ignoring that the government must become authoritarian to actually do so; all while demanding democracy - reminding me that democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding on what is for dinner)… Anyways, maybe my initial conclusion is premature, just sharing my thoughts!

Essentially, because the neoliberalism favoured by the Guardian has driven people to despair, as well as undermining political representation that expresses that.

As a UK broadcasting channel where is the news of UK riots , dont you report on your own country or are you more interested in poking politics of another country

As someone who was born and raised in the Middle East and identifies as an atheist, I have a deep understanding of the motivations and mindsets of people from the region who choose to migrate to Europe. In the 1970s and 1980s, many who fled to Europe were doing so for genuine political reasons. They were escaping oppressive regimes, whether Islamic or dictatorial, often because their beliefs as non-Muslims, socialists, or leftists put them in danger.\n\nHowever, since the 2000s, the motivations for migration have shifted. Today, many people from the region come to Europe not primarily in search of safety or to embrace a European way of life, but rather to take advantage of the social benefits that European countries offer. Unfortunately, many of these individuals support the same Islamic regimes or ideologies that people fled from in the past.\n\nIntegration into European society is often challenging, particularly when there is little incentive to learn the local language or culture. For some, the focus is on increasing family size to maximize the financial benefits provided by the state. This explains why it's common to see families with six to nine children in these communities. The goal for many is not to seek safety or assimilate into European society, but to live comfortably on the benefits available in countries like Germany and Sweden.\n\nTo address this issue, I believe Europe needs to reconsider its approach to handling migration. One potential solution could be to build safe cities in North Africa, where people can find refuge and work without necessarily relocating to Europe. This would provide a secure environment and opportunities for those in need, without overburdening European countries. The focus should be on creating conditions where people migrate for genuine safety and the chance to contribute to society, rather than primarily for the financial benefits.\n\nIf people are allowed to choose where they want to live, they will naturally demand the best possible conditions and benefits. However, if authorities take the lead in deciding where migrants should be relocated, it would likely reduce the risks associated with illegal immigration. By guiding people to safe and sustainable locations rather than letting them dictate their destination, we could decrease the incentives for dangerous and unauthorized migration routes. This approach would help manage resources more effectively and ensure that migration serves both the needs of those seeking refuge and the capacity of host countries.

There needs to be a political focus toward each countries STRENGTHS.\n\nCanada from what I am seeing is ignoring its strengths and it is affecting the World by adding g to its STRESSORS.

What a polite way to say “hell no, we wouldn’t take them if they begged us!”

This is clearly a unplanned process that comes in the favore of foreign politics not Canada nationsl interest , immigrants arrived to Canada deceived by the fact it is land of opportunities without providing long term infrastructure plan\n many of those immigrants bring all their savings and nourishing the economy.

The question about taxes is shades of welfare queen trope in American politics for so many years

One in four Canadians, and growing are living below the poverty line or homeless in such a traditionally stable and wealthy country, which indicates one thing, the country is broken and has been mismanaged or deliberately ruined by corrupt politicians and political parties. Bringing in migrants with little capital or skills just exasperated the problems and needs to be stopped before Canada becomes another Western failed state.

the political elite and business interests contradict with the interests of the ordinary.

You forgot to add that LEGAL immigrants are upset at this blatant disregard for their own interests as new citizens to this country. We expect the immigrants to be vetted like we were. We also desire a safe proporous country and not have it degraded by political games being played.

Ok, Canada should study Sweden, especially post-2015 to see what happens when a toxic mixture of naivety and political cowardice takes over. All the problems have been visible for decades but we chose to kick the can down the road hoping it would become someone else's problem.\n\nThe latest move is that Denmark now wants to impose border checks with Sweden.

You guys are hilarious. Bet you’re happy to have almost free medical coverage. Your rite about the water it is good. As far as politics go Trudeau is boring, his father was not. He never got bullied by other world leaders he to them to get stuffed if he didn’t like they’re polices.

Isn't that the reporter that asked the jihadists if they would allow women to run in politics in Afghanistan or smth =)))))))))

Interesting to hear a Canadian perspective. Taking the politics out of it, what is ultimately impacting where I live in the UK is overpopulation and a simple case of supply vs demand. Views are so polarised it’s crazy. We need the voice of reason, but it’s nowhere to be seen.

All of the leftist political parties in all Western democracies have increased massive immigration exclusively, from 3rd World pagan cultures, such as China, India, Africa, the Middle East and Haiti, in order to soften the influence of Western culture and try to lock in the left-wing vote. They think that this will ensure that the left will always be able to stay in power. I have witnessed this in Austria, Germany, England, the United States and of course Canada. If anyone has a problem with this invasion, they will be labelled racist. Pierre Trudeau said that we must protect our French culture and so he rammed the bilingual policies down our throats, way back in 1970 or so. Today when you drive along Steeles Ave, along the southern edge of Markham, you will see only Chinese light boxes and 3d signage adorning all of the super malls there. No English and no French. The real goal of diversity is to erase Western culture which, was one of Karl Marx's wishes.

Vote bank politics ?

The simple answer is that when immigrants don't assimilate it poses a direct threat to that country. Everyone understands this from every nation in every culture and every time frame in history. It has nothing to do with the politics of today.

Comes.around go a round...the west spent centuries colonizing other taking ressources and building theirs beautiful nations then like it was not enougg they establish sistema war sistema political sistema to make the third courntries lides very bad now they need more ressources só they Open border as partnership but their tour chilrldren dont understand the deal behind now the karma is happening

Again another political regime telling the people what they need is not what the people want. If they are saying it’s down to not having houses, build the houses first.

Its all about watering down the cordial. So big gov can take control. Remember the movie WALL -E. It has nothing to do with political failure. Its all a stage to set up 100% political control. Mess things up so bad. That the masses beg for help from the gov under full control

i think claiming asylum is very different than getting asylum, so they can claim but they still go through the process and if they are found not be eligible they are politely escorted home

Because no one in the West wants to be invaded and colonised. Name me one white European Christian in political office in the middle east.

As a 905 Canadian (Toronto suburb), I want to move to the USA just for the climate difference... Politically, people are regional. I loved visiting Florida just for the difference. Buffalo wasn't enough.

GEE I WONDER, why dont people like being replaced and losing their democratic political voice, culture, and social cohesion in their own country? truly a mystery.

Canada doesn't need anymore people from india or alike. If Canada was allowing people in from countries with similar values and beliefs then it wouldn't be an issue. It's going to take a violent revolution to solve this problem. All the established political parties here are all the same and are controlled by billionaires with a twisted vision of what they want the world to look like.

You have to use black people to get political points across if don't you will have different opinions and views if they are white or any other race.

Trudeau made it worse by bringing in millions of people to gain political power \nWell,although we’re all immigrants the government should think of the housing crisis before bringing in more immigrants

Oh gee, let’s blame these easily identifiable groups while we take all the money.\n\nLook at banks, financial groups, and companies with obscene profits that mine the middle and lower income earners for everything they can.\n\nThey are the folks that require an ever increasing population, both for cheaper labour and a source of value to mine.\n\nThey are also what drives political policy. Follow the money.

This POLITIC CHEAP REPRESENTATIVE. AND JUOSTIN CHEAP POLITIC GET OFF FROM CANADA. ...CANADA RESIBE REFUGGEE. .....ESTUDIENS IS ESTUDIEN T ESTUDIEN COMEBACK. REFUGGE STAY EN CANADA . ....THE WESTERN LOSE ..THE CANADIENS PEOPLES ..LOSES HIGHT VALUES MORAL'S. THE CROWNIS THE PROBLEM. ???????????????????

Canindia . It's Canindia .\nCanada is Dead . We now live in the : Politically Correct People's Democratic Republic of Canindia .

West people just don't seem to understand global politics lol. The government isn't stupid.

UAE minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al-Nahyan said “The voices we hear calling for murder and shedding blood and stealing the wealth of people are in London, Germany, Spain and Italy.\n“There will come a day when we see far more radicals, extremists and terrorists coming from Europe because of (a) lack of decision-making, and trying to be politically correct”.

What happens to the terrorists who mixed with the refugees and applies for a political asylum? There are sleepers everywhere it seems. \nIt is always great to be kind and compassionate, but there are grave risks, and aren't we suppose to protect our own citizens?

Meanwhile we’ve had an actual immigration problem that’s a political football for decades, people are just now starting to experience what the border states have
