I can't help but think that the phrase 'a country of immigrants' is just a sneaky way of saying 'a country of colonialism'. I dont know that much accountability or reconciliation has happened in Canada over the last 300 years. It began with governments and corporations doing whatever they wanted and could do to make money and extract resources off of this land (regardless of whom it affected), and continues to be just that. The increase of immigrants is largely, as far as I know, being used to a) bring in more revenue and economic stimulus (which is more and more ending up in the hands of a few very wealthy families) and b) fuel the labour force of large corporations that would rather soak the profits up themselves, hire low-wage PR or temporary foreign worker labour, than pay Canadian residents properly to work those jobs. I love immigrants, have many 1st gen immigrants friends, and think they do bring a lot to Canada. We all do, as we were all immigrants at some point. At the same time, the immigration system is very complicit in looking at immigration as a resource in aiding those rich families/ corporations in colonialism, and you could argue that this overreliance is abuse of the immigration system. Certainly, we have seen this with colleges. This feels especially true over the last several years with huge jumps in immigration numbers with growing inequality for long term residents. So the result is a very quickly changing world that is not helping many Canadians feel more secure about their future, which is a recipe for unrest. Am I wrong? Genuinely I am looking to have an open discussion here!

Why? Because immigration is unchecked and unbalanced. If you want a prosperous multicultural society everyone has to be on board with that and it has to be fair for everyone. In the West that balance is not there. If you think for one moment you could go to an Asian or Arabic country and have a 'Canada Town' or a 'Little Britain' you are delusional.\n\nYears ago, my father who was an army officer went to Oman to help train their soldiers. On arrival he was given a list 5 A4 pages long of things he COULD NOT DO in that country. He didn't complain and abided by that. One Westerner broke one of the rules accidentally and literally had to leave the country taking nothing with him. Why is ok to enforce culture one way, but not the other? That's your problem. There's an agenda here.

The issue in Canada is not about a well-planned and diverse immigration policy, but rather a significant influx of people from just a few countries, which some perceive as a cultural shift. The long-term impact of this trend on society remains to be seen.

Canada for Canadians!??????

Rectification: Mexicans need a visa to enter Canada! Unfortunately, not the Africans and other latinos!

It is so ridiculous that they say on the video that Mexican citizens have a better chance to get across the border from Canada when the US pushed Canada to ask Mexican citizens for a Visa and Canada obeyed right immediately. All those peopele are coming from other countries.

Trudeau's main goal is with the Century Initiative Organization to increase Canada's population to 100 million by 2100. This is totally insane. Trudeau should be forced out now with his entire Liberal party. Jagmeet Singh is a traitor for propping up this corrupt Government. Pierre must place a moratorium on immigration and close the flood gates when he becomes PM.

Hundreds of musslims float over across Detroit River from Canada every day and disappear into the United States. Nice 15 minute boat ride from Canada to US into Detroit Michigan. No one gives a damn. Customs agents say they can leave but they can NOT return to Canada.

Quickest solution: annex canada.

Illegals can fly into Canada, but as a US citizen I can't go to Canada without papers?

This courtesy of Prime Minister Trudeau’s failed open boarder mass immigration policy in Canada.

Hey are you sure Lithuanian guy ( EU citizen with no Visa requirement) travel in woods from Canada to USA? You check your facts please!

All of this should be blamed on Joe Biden‘s fault for years ago and not to mention, I don’t know why these people wonderful Kamala Harris as well do she is following the same path as Biden is doing to remember what Trump said that he’s going to control all of this and flip the owner of a verse card to go back to normal but these people are literally a Simp for asking for destruction and the fact that New York City is close to Canada than where had been the border even been doing the border is like wide-open dude close it up but nope lazy Joe Biden and now soon about to be Kamala Harris they just gonna keep it open dude this country needs to be clean up June 2020 messed up the whole shit sorry for my language but it’s true I know there are a few mispronounce words, but I am going crazy with this news right now

Cash, don't go there!! Our Canada/U.S. border is highlighted as the longest, undefended,(but just test that, I dare ya), border in the world. It is something to be proud of!! People living across the border from family during COVID could sit in parks along the border and visit!! Again about 40,000 people crossed from the U.S. side into Canada on foot, illegally during 2022. We don't want to mess with our relationship, man, don't go there!!

Justin Trudeau is a communist. The cartels are paying him off to let people come into the country so they can get across the border. Canada is not gonna help secure our border. It’s a double edge sword we can’t stop protecting their airspace because in the same time protects our airspace, we’re not gonna let Russia invade because that would put Russia on our doorstep at any other country in the world invade us and not even help there communist

Good.\nThey can all leave Canada.\nWhy would they want to be here?

I've lived in Canada for around 8 yrs, still don't get it, how come a country with 2nd largest land in the world has a housing crisis?? When I just arrived in the country, the cost to own a house was around $400k, now it is about $750k to maybe $900k. I am soooooo regret I didn't get one when it's relatively affordable.

They cross to Canada as well from NY state, they try either country and stay in the one that will give them more benefits. Also, the MX needs a visa again, the govt realize we can't keep having more coming in at this point we are full! The housing is push to the limits at this point.

In Canada we're told all our migrants are coming across the US boarder....

I know all about the immigration crisis at the US/Mexico border but I had no idea they were coming in through Canada. What the hell is going on !? Now Canada has an immigration crisis !? I think I want to move to a different planet? this is getting out of hand. What the hell is wrong with our leaders. It’s like they want an invasion or something?

Makes no sense....why dont they just stay in Canada? ?‍♂️?‍♂️

So what I need to do is identify as an ILLEGAL, go to Canada easily cross the border into New York and get a free vacation. Never mind I look completely European, as long as I say I'm Mexican that's ok, right?

Canada accepting many bogus international students who come to Canada to get the residency card. if that's possible, they claimed refugee status. This is thanks to our genious PM, Justin Trudeau!

Damn I was in Canada years ago. It was nice and hot. Literally the freezing cold came out of nowhere and got me by surprise. That cold weather isn't something to play with. Especially when you're wearing a jean jacket.?

When is this going to stop? You vote for Kamala, maybe next month another 25,000 can cross from Canada. Got a DUI you can't get in to the country how all these illegals doing it?

Canada is one of the most corrupt countries now beware. First they drain corrupt Canada then they drain US, smart. We call them government immi dumps, all the cities in Canada are now immi dumps on never enough doctors healthcare is overloaded normalized. RIP Canada.

calling it now, canada wont care until they get overflowed after people realize how terrible NY is and itll be too late lmao

So Canada’s border is just as bad a Mexico’s. What a surprise

Wow now there being sent down from Canada wth!

my indian landlord in canadq said he hates his fellow indians because their too much already in canada and is now ruining the country

We get 2,300 migrants everyday in Canada. Life is too expensive in Canada. Mostly from India. They poop in our beaches beware. Hopefully Trump will deport them.

100% of them are from America to Canada, and then don't like it here and then they run back to the US ?????? \nCanada is a snow desert.... no people, no culture, no love, nothing here other than just bear and moose\nAlso the Canadian law will let you homeless or freeze todeath before they give you any kind of paper...

And everyone’s saying Canada is better than America …

??they all realize that Canada is crappy and no money to be made here...so they go to America!!!!we are already over populated in canada.really a shit hole now.Never had a great abundance of cities and opportunities but now it's completely oversaturated with only fast food jobs remain.

Time to sue Canada

in canada were over run dont blame the avrage canadian but the liberals also known as the far far left

most mexicans need visa to enter Canada.

Why is Canada… what is Canada… Because Canada is corrupt as fuck dude! Same globalists in Canada as is the US so stop voting liberal. Holy fuck! How are so late to the party.

It's not even just in Brampton even 1 to 2 hours away immigrant and international students take all customer service jobs to the point that Canadians can barely get hired into these roles because we have expectations and rights that we worked for and I've seen these immigrants willing to work for less than legal minimum wage and they do not stand up for themselves or work towards having any shared rights. In addition many politicians on both sides of the aisle are rental landlords so only stand to profit from low rental vacancies and cramming as many people into a small space as possible. They've also cut funding to a lot of post-secondary institutions who rely on inflating tuition cost for international students. At my current role on a team of 15 people plus one manager there are only three white people, born and raised Canadians. The rest are all Indians including the manager and will frequently talk amongst themselves loudly in Punjabi while we're trying to serve customers in the English language. That's actually against policy but Canadians are so outnumbered by immigrants and specifically Indians in this place that it never gets enforced properly. I've never been anti-immigration but it's gotten so bad in Canada especially in places like Ontario that I'm now against it and will tell anyone regardless of their skin color to avoid immigrating here. I've been on a wait list for a doctor for over 11 years, I know people who have died from cancer due to delayed referrals due to long wait list for additional screening, it's insane and absolutely ridiculous especially considering the amount of taxes I currently pay and have paid my entire life as a born and raised Canadian.\n\nAlso it's absolutely true every single one is either taking or has taken post-secondary studies in business admin or management. We don't need more people in these fields we need Healthcare sector workers and not a single one that I've spoken with which again is quite a few studied anything related to medicine Healthcare nursing... not one.

Canada is supposed to be an ally. This is how your enemies treat you , not your allies .

As of June 19th 2024 the law in Canada has changed, now Mexicans and other nationals need Visa to enter Canada.

immigrants came to Canada and ruined our economy, now its incredibly expensive to live here, therefore they have to move because they cant afford it anymore. Good luck to you americans

We need to put them back on a bus and send them to canada!! And the government needs to Canada if they let them cross without us id we will hold them responsible and accountable for those people!!! Because this is what they are doing to help the democrat/liberal party that Canada government supports get the votes to keep a liberal in office so they can keep getting support for the crazy bs thats going on in Canada over the last 4 years....

USA needs to Twist Canada’s arms - just threaten it - \n\nCanadians are also SICK & TIRED of the masses flowing into Canada on feeble claims.\n\nHard headed thinking needed\n\nMake Canada think Fortress North America \n\nIf it impinges on its sovereignty- so be it - it is not a viable economically sovereign country - really \n\n- it is just politically sovereign and it does not use it to good purpose for its citizens

They need to stay in CANADA, something wrong with CANADA? they don’t like & support CRIMINALS?

Canada's border with the United States -after all - is the world's longest international border, at 8,890 km.

Canada is the preferred method of illegal entry for East Asians and Caribbeans.

you guys can take em, Canada is full, and we're having a lot of issues with them too, thank Trudeau for dividing Canada and telling people to come here, he is a joke, Vancouver is larger than Ottawa btw

Is is the Canada fires or is it the universal healthcare?

I wonder what countries are running price & flight specials to Canada with a Bus ticket included for the rest of the trip maybe Cash needs to check into a few NGOs running from extreme poverty with a business class ticket or first class??
