It's not racist when it's all the different Canadians from different cultural backgrounds agreeing on this. We only have a few large cities in our country. There is no infrastructure or housing to support this. Most of the country is very harsh to live in during the winter. It's hard to drive anywhere. Prices are skyrocketing, and criminals are flooding the streets.

Im a natural born canadian. I missed owning a house by only a decade. Im 24 now & make 150k a year & my money goes nowhere. Im legitimately becoming racist because i feel weve lost our identity. Go back home indians, please

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.

ohh that makes me what to post an ad 1 bed room - SINGLE WHITE FEMALE ONLY, MUST DO LAUNDY and be home all nights \n \nbut then im racist right? MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE. thats it! im doing it. and im going and applying for every single apt and when they say no cause im not indian im fuckin throwin the racist card.

Isn't it obvious that xenophobia will grow as leftists continue to insist on open border policies? If leaders really cared about bigotry, they would tighten immigration. But leftists believe they can have it both ways, and will do much work to convince us that we are too racist and ignorant to appreciate their ideology.

This is Trudeau and his voters without them barking like dogs calling everyone else stupid and racists for not agreeing with their ideology it now look where the educated liberals bring us. Like Islam everywhere liberal ideology goes shit ? follows

its interesting, if Europe took that position and basically told any refugee or migrant from the middle east to stay where they are and they will not accept anyone from that region, they would be called racist.

Title should be - How Canada is Racist towards Indian Students who need help in Canada.!!!

Canada let in many immigrants before, I literally grew up with every different type of race basically in elem school, difference is back then seems like they actually had a process and did it properly not to clog up everythig, now Canada makes it worse for EVERYONE, its pathetic, its not rAcIsT ro point out you cant just let a bunch of people in at once, just like when you have a company, you dont just hire 100 new people randomly, uts the same thing

It is not racist to ask for a safe and secure enviornent .

We r going down the same path in Australia. We've had a gut full of making our lives harder while bending over backwards to accommodate different people who then abuse it and run amok in gangs, assaulting and robbing people. All while a majority of the of the population get called racist.

Erm let me guess way too many people from all over the world settling there , same as UK...by the way this makes me right wing and a racist?

In my experience, there has always been a feeling in Canada against immigrants. This is generally among the working class. \n\nIn the early 1990s I was doing a lot of work in Canada for a US tech company. I am an American, by the way. One time I was working with a Chinese Canadian engineer, who worked for the client company. We went to the loading dock to check on the equipment from my company, which had just arrived. The native Canadian loading dock workers were openly making racist slurs about the Chinese engineer, right in front of him. He was very careful not to respond. I asked him about it later, and he just waved it off. This was in the Toronto area. I was also warned about Chinese who were involved in organized crime in the city. Then, a few days later I saw it in downtown Toronto. Two Chinese men in a Mercedes had stopped on the road and pulled a woman out of the car and started threatening her. It was a tense situation. \n\nOften it is the government types that welcome the immigrants, for various reasons. Canada does indeed have a demographic problem. \n\nThis is not the 19th and early 20th century in Canada or the US or Europe. Today we have extensive social safety nets. This means taxpayer dollars. In the earlier times the immigrants had to fend for themselves. Even then, there would be feelings against the immigrants. At least in the US it was a time of rapid economic and geographic expansion. Not so anymore.

if you were to do the same in the US - to pushback against the tide of immigrants, they would brand you as anti-immigrants and a racist.

Canada has to start recognising degrees from other countries. Here in B.C. we have emergency rooms closing overnight due to lack of staffing. We need doctors and nurses yet the barriers for those immigrating to get their degrees recognised mean many never qualify.\n\nCanada also needs to look at who we are admitting in and to terminate the family unification policy. When immigration was helping the country grow there was a different demographic coming in. Often it was single men or young married couples. As they came by themselves they assimilated into the mosiac of the country. When you concentrate on immigrants from one country instead of assimilating they setup ethnic communities. \n\nLook into what study groups have said that is contributing to gang violence. It's ethnic groups that have the grandparents, parents and grand kids all living in one home. The grandparents want the grand kids to adhere to their native culture. Unfortunately by time you get to the grand kids they are Canadian. They speak English/French depending where they live with little interest in speaking their ethnic language. There is cultural conflict within the home hence street life is where they find love and caring.\n\nSome cultures are not as community minded. Part of the high cost of renting/housing is based on greed not need. In my own community I know of apartment units now renting at 2,500 - 4,000/month owned by the same people that even five years back you could have rented for 500 - 800. There is no justification for that percentage of increase other than greed.\n\nJob opportunities. Summer employment for school kids is going down yearly. You see local business that use to hire students over the summer month claiming they can't find any workers. They bring in TFW yet Canadian students can't find work. You can tell the owners nationality of a business by the nationality of the workforce. A local store bought by a east Indian two years ago which at the time had a diverse workforce is now entirely staffed by east Indians. Yet who screams racist? \n\nCanada definitely needs to reconsider its immigration policy and bring in major changes.

This video is an example of a Canadian government focused on taking better care of immigrants than it's own citizens. But it's true.. i can't go to a park or have picnic in a park in my neighborhood nor any park in 50km radius from where i live that not filled with Indians occupying practically all the tables, and i don't even live in Brampton. I'm not racist or prejudiced being a Canadian born of immigrant descent, but when i see this i cannot help but feel resentful. I'm tryng hard not to be.

How naive of me, I see this is a global phenomenon. How do we fix this without sounding or becoming hateful and racist?

Why are all the top comments so vile and racist?

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.

Because of journalistic outfits such as your own failing to hold racists and liars in positions of power to account for years and years, allowing the creation of a scapegoat in a religious minority.

Your channel is very racist. Vancouver looks like China or Korea but no one is making an issue out of that. Shame

One of the problems is if you say something against the issue of unfettered immigration, you're accused of being xenophobic, racist, and whatever the latest buzz phrase liberals come up with.......

What a racist man, he lucky he got away with this

As a 32 year old male born in Kitchener, Ontario. This mass immigration is killing our country. With so many immigrants from India that (as a whole, not every Indian) do NOT assimilate to Canada and our culture has us pretty upset. It’s making our housing crisis worse and killing our economy. Canada is not the same country I grew up in and it’s changing fast before our very eyes. We are losing our image, identity and our culture. For my argument, we get called a racist for pointing this out about the mass Indian immigration. They immediately combat us saying “look what you did to the natives” like come on… The truth is, we’d call out anyone else from any other country.

Canadian logic: If you don't want a billion immigrants here you're racist

IT IS NOT RACIST TO KICK OUT THOSE FROM MIDDLE EAST INDIA…

Western economies need to get their own houses in order before accepting immigrants. This is not racist, this is logical and is a simple exercise in allocating resources based on priorities.

IT AINT RACIST TO WANT CANADIANS TO SUCCEED BEFORE OUR GUESTS.

I thought it was some racist thing, but all I hear is to Eat the Rich and distribute the wealth. Based AF.

The immigrants that are coming here feel scammed, the older citizens have seen our infrastructure crumble, and our country-born youth are watching their hopes at a decent life fall away. Literally everyone is losing when you bring far more people into a country than its infrastructure can support. There is nothing racist or emotionally charged about that statement.

Racist? Does the country of India take in refugees?

Wow I wonder why……… ?\nThe answer is clear but 50% of the country keeps shoving it to the side and call everyone else racists lol.

Call me a racist, I do not care anymore.

Governments in Canada tax housing construction to the point that 50% of the cost is tax. That's a major reason for the lack of supply. Governments are destroying Canada and calling anyone\nwho complains racists\n Apparently, the same problem exists in the UK. Must be that WEF CoolAid.

Let all these ppl in...they deserve to get welfare, food stamps, free medical care, housing, social security, etc!!!!.....if you disagree then you're a racist!!!!?????

He becomes racist for his country

Some countries you mentioned are not racist.

Refreshing to hear that the data is available to back up the problem. In UK if you have these conversations your are classed a right wing racist.

Simple answer, racists.

This happens I'm england and we get called racists for not wanting more people in

I had these same observations and opinions seven and eight years ago. But most people who heard me talk thought I was a racist bigot.

It crazy to me that they would do anything to come over here but soon as they commit that crime and they scared, they run right back to their country to avoid prosecution. Im not racist and im all for making a better life for my family but go thru proper channels and to be honest we've reach full capacity. ....sorry

Being a patriot and taking your country back is not racist at all.. The liberal govt and mainly Justin Trudeau is to be blamed.. period

I'm a racist Canadian that believes some cultures are better than others. NO MORE SOUTH ASIANS.

So many people come and commit crimes, ignore our laws and live off the government. We needed certain skilled people and I could care less what country they come from as that immigration is crucial to our economy and population. Right now there isn't enough housing for our own citizens. It's irresponsible. If families want to sponsor an immigrant family that's awesome. The rest of us want our tax money actually going to our citizens. That's not racist, that's common sense.

Well, according to our governments, we are all racists apparently.

I’d like to think Canadians are smart enough to know this isn’t a racist issue but a political one. Liberals don’t know what they are doing.

Racist immigrants are talking about other immigrants ??

You left out Mexico. They are very racist there and h*te blacks. They will set you up and make false accusations against you in their language that you don't understand. Don't go there. They h*te us.

All thanks to biden and kamala. CNN is just as guilty. CNN said the last 4 years that the border is secure. CNN labled everyone racist for speaking out. CNN continues to lie every day. This is a flat out invasion amd CNN supports every politician that refuses to take action
