In the 1970s I worked for CP Air in Sydney - I found the Canadian management to be THE ABSOLUTE most racist people I have ever met!!! And the worst part was that they were so much less qualified that the Australian workers.

Wanting legal immigration is not racist

Super disrespectful...but how is it racist? All I hear is cussing.

Apko aur jada time yhn ruk kar dekhna chahiye tha fir apna experienceshare karna chahiye tha. You dont know the real struggles of Canada. Apki bate sunke lag raha h log canda ana chahege. Apka experience bht kam hai bht jada. Canada ake sabki apni apni kismat hoti h, kisi ko phle din kam mil jata hai kisi ko saal lag jata hai... Struggle is real here... MAT AAO CANADA jo b soch raha hai... Not at all a better country than India... The only thing that Canada has is its Purchasing power parity. You can get a nice car and phone here on $0 just pay the monthly installments and you are good. I don’t want to talk about drugs here. Every major hard drug, a small dosage of which can be lethal to us is legal in Canada. If you don’t believe you can research on your own. Canada is like 3 times bigger than India area wise and population of Canada is almost equivalent to any big Metropolitan city of India like Delhi. Log kam hai, space bht hai, sarkar k pas paisa bohot hai, that’s why people have little better life here. Bss yahi reason h Canada me achi life ka... India me log ye sab hi dekhte hai flane k lodke ne bdia muscle car leli latest phone le liya but uski installment deni b padti h... Vo kaise doge jab ap minimum wage par kam krte ho... Isliye Piche mat lago bhai. Dur k dhol suhavne hote hai... CANADA is the biggest scam that is sold to immigrants.... If someone has a backup in India then they can think about coming here spend some years of their precious life here otherwise plz don't even think about coming here.... Say if you buy a bicycle for your commute which is a good convenient and healthy option but still it is of no use of it. Reason is bikes get stolen here very easily. I am saying this coz I have seen this with my own eyes. Police is incompetent here. They will arrest you but will leave you after 15 minutes after making you sit in your car. I know people who have 5 6 DUI’s and they still drive drunk. They do it coz they know the shortcomings of police. They know jails are full here. Checkout what a high ranked police official said about cars being stollen in big cities of Ontario (its on youtube) for which he was trolled badly. Dur se dekhne par lagta hoga ya suna b hoga hmare logo ne k Canadians bohot welcoming h but ab vo bat nahi rahi.. Ye chij hmare parents ki generation me thi. Log welcoming the phle par vo ab budhe ho chuke hai.. Todays generation is racist (not everybody though). Just coz these countries are developed doesn't mean people here are developed too... India se jada greeb hai yhn k log... An average Canadian make $2200 to $2500 per month if they work @minimum wage, which is below the poverty line in canada again you can research about it if don't believe me. Teenagers ko paise ni count karna ata agar kisi ko paise dene b pad jaye... 15 16 year old kids ask their parents how to pay and how much cash they need to pay, Canada is Not at all good education wise. I dont even want to talk about the health care system of Canada it literally sucks. I got my family doctor after 6 years. India me raho Canada ghumne aoo vapis chle jao.. Eve hi faltu me kisi ke piche lag kar ya kisi ke influence me akar idhar na ao.... jitni mehnat sbko yhn karni padti hai utni india me karlo aram se haste haste life spend kroge... I realy hope jo log ye comment padhe aur agar koi yh ane ki soch raha hai vo na ae.... Namaskar

FYI THERE ARE 1.4 BILLION INDIANS IN India. India has a land size of 1/3 the size of Canada. However Canada still can't handle 40 million people compared to 1.4 billion Indians. So this world is making people suffer just because India always had more number of people. India & Africa is one of the oldest countries in this world. Moreover there are a lot of Africans in Canada. Why don't we see news of many africans are in Canada. Or there are many asians in Canada who are not from India. Cause this is just racism towards India. First they take our money through their racist immigration programs. Indians work harder than any of the races in Canada. Then your butchering our people because it's to easy to get away by being racist to a brown just because we are so many.

I am not Indian. But imagine if Natives tell non natives to go back to Europe.\nThis channel is purely racist.

You know why it's not racist? Because I don't care what country you come from. Slow immigration now.

I am elibible to move there but I won't move to a country as racist as Germany, simple as that.

Canada gest respect for this kind of topic... Europe get treated as racists for such concern... time to let people decide of the future of their countries.

i knew a romanian doctor who decided to leave germany after numerous racist incidents with the native germans. it got so bad that he almost refused to treat other ethnic germans....they never learn do they

The racists are out in force on this one. \n\nClassy as ever Canada.

they only come to white western countries while calling us colonizers and racists... go home and fix your own country

And the Canadians call Americans racist for not wanting 20M illegals coming across the southern border….

Sadly, several reasons impact the perception that new comers have on Canadian citizens. The government cannot assume that more is the better. Also there is not a balance on the cultural and races backgrounds from the new comers creating a political polarized system beneficial for ones and damaging for others. There is no effort for maintaining Canadian values but instead an uncontrolled pluralistic system which in reality is completely forsaken by government advocacies and members of the parliament. There are currently several issues that must be addressed such as the cost of living and housing. All of this is obvious, may sound racist but is the truth. Until there is not control over such matters, the country’s situation won’t improve.

This is all a set up. The government wants more lower paid worker's so big corporations can make money. Then certain parties propogate their racist its the immigrants who are the problem. Riot against the govt not the immigrants. The govt should spend money to update infrastructure and housing. But that costs money and that money goes to big corp.

Speaking up \nBeing proud of your country \nBeing big proud of your flag \nBeing patriotic \nIs branded racist every where now

Right. Because it's the flood of flight attendants into the country that's driving up the housing prices. holy shit. Do you hear yourself? You want so hard to be racist that you'll latch on to anything. It's not immigrants that are making your lives harder, it's you're own damn fault. stop blaming other people.

Is this new to the Guardian ? If it is this is how the uk has been since 2004! Yet you call people racist or just gaslight the populace

Canada is no longer dominated by racist europids. \nThat must be very painful to you that you have to run away. So long, we won't miss you

Wow! That was wildly racist?

Now why is it when nasser kicked the British out of Egypt he wasn't racist. When the Saudis kicked out the ottomans. When Mao kicked out the British. When the zulu fought against the British. When the Bosnians fought against croats and serbs. No one ever used the term racist. They fought for their land, they fought to protect their way of life. But when we fly our flag, try to preserve our way of life... We're racist.

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.

First They all ask for skilled workers and then racist locals will start blaming them for taking their jobs :/ ??

Importing anyone from Pakistan is loaded with risk. It's not racist, it's rational.

Ya the time has come across the developed world with the aged population where you can’t continue being racist and developed at the same time … before I guess, you could … most, but not all developed countries were developed while they colonized large swathes of Asia, Africa and South America … so they never developed the appetite, desires or muscles to mingle with their inferiors let alone allow them to take jobs in the countries where they hailed from … but now one can’t do or live that way

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.

It’s not. Immigration with the intention of destroying the middle class is not popular. Trudeau called us a post national nation. We support immigration that benefits the existing citizen. Labelling reasonable people as racists is sickening.

It would be stupid for someone to call you racist. As someone who has lived in Brampton my whole life it feels weird to say that its actually very uncommon to see someone who is NOT Indian compared the 2010's.

Tired of it like the UK and the rest of the western world that is why be careful they will call you far right or Racist

I am from Canada and this behaviour is not acceptable; it's disgusting! I hope they find this racist Canadian clown and punish him. The delivery driver is classy and kept his emotions under control - he deserves a huge tip. I hope he never deals with this again in his life.

Did she go to jail for her racism she racist

White racist people complaining ???

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.

Racism is a big part of the problem. A lot of Germans are racist but they are oblivious to the fact.

Canada is racist this entire time of course

Germany has to compite white Canada Australia and New zealand , who is his righ mind would go to a racist country full of of taxes and bureaucracy

Racisms is a big issue, apart from wages , language, & loss of direction; companies need workers, politicians say otherwise, immigrant wait till government takes a stand, but any way I am skilled worker, I don't want to get abused by right wings and racists. So good luck.

The government playing racist games with low income people enraging citizens by not taking care of immigrants.\nI see it as a test for the strong west for its right to stay strong or even exist in the future

In Europe, there's a growing sense of neglect towards the younger generation. They face lower salaries, longer work hours, and increased responsibilities while witnessing a surge in billionaires, particularly in countries like Germany. \nThe housing market adds to their woes, as property prices soar, making it difficult to afford homes, let alone start families. To compensate, cheap labor from abroad is often favored, leading to frustration among the youth, who feel betrayed. \nPeople aren't inherently racist, but this frustration arises when governments prioritize external labor over addressing domestic issues. It's high time politicians acknowledge and tackle these pressing concerns rather than resorting to distractions. The younger generation deserves meaningful change. That's why you need skill workers because you were exploiting your young generation.

Wages are trash, good entry level jobs are impossible to find after completing a Bachelor/Master, police and old people are racist. I am already on my way out after 15 years in Germany. I wish I could just forget this language.

Allow the government to jerry-rig the economy by bringing in 100,000,000,000 foreigners or you are racist.

I am a racist. I want the fruits of my labour to go to my own descendants and to the descendants of the other people who paid for our infrastructure and public services. Oddly enough, my own descendants are of the same race as myself and their father. I have no interest in being taxed to pay for facilities for foreigners. So I am a racist.

Yes, Pakistan ??is very racist to people of African descent and to African .You see when when someone of Africa decent goes to Pakistan ,they never offer to pay for their food or tea like a Pakistani person do for with people..The Pakistani always say to white people hat they are their gust ,but they don't say to African people or people of African decent. That 8s sad to me ?????

Its a hate crime. Why wasn’t the guy arrested for being so racist to a person just doing his job?

I think it's ok to be anti-immigration as a phenomenon. As long as people aren't not anti-immigrant (aimed at people instead of the concept) they are obviously not racist. We can always criticize ideas.

Canadian journalists pretending to be baffled by this. Canadians are tired of being called racists by the people we send our tax money to.

5:22 Indian universities are full, that’s why they come to the West. It deprives nationals from university place,emits. 1:43 The demographic problem is not in the West, it’s in the rest of the World. It’s creating inflation and in turn creating poverty 4:00 This is the results of excessive demand from the influx if immigrants in every western country. 2:56 How do they get a visa if they have no skills? 7:25 This is deliberate by the WEF and Klaus Schwab. 8:27 The Left try to say this is Far Right and racist but it’s absolutely not. It’s clear that the West has helped enough, they need to fix the immigrant countries. 8:33 It’s nit Far Right or racist to be worried about the current immigration trajectory 10:36 The benefits of immigration only work with common sense levels of immigration because when there is too many they don’t integrate as well. 12:19 As an immigrant myself to London, I think there are too many immigrants now, it’s almost as if it’s being done for human trafficking money.

If being racist means asking for affordable housing, competitive wages, and safe neighborhoods, then by all means call me racist. This is affecting the entire Western Society.

Same problems everywhere. Its not racist or far right to demand a limitation of immigration. In Germany its very difficult to find room to live. Often the state pays for the rent of immigrants which makes it way more difficult for German inhabitants to get room to rent.

Cannot wait for the left to call anyone that thinks taking in millions of people while no one can get a house is 'racist'.
