Canada went from one of the best countries to the worst in 8 years

This would only make sense to me if we weren't sitting on stolen land and if the West didn't mess up other parts of the world for our benefit. People are suffering and escaping situations precipitated by our governments, and we don't acknowledge our luck in being born into our circumstances. Canada, Australia, and the US can't whine while sitting on stolen land and an extensive history of colonialism. This intolerance wouldn't be as hypocritical and selfish coming from citizens of most other countries.

LTB is junk .. don’t rent just sale off canada is full of scammers now ..

Thanks Justin Trudeau, the Liberals, Jagmeet Singh and the NDPs, you have officialy decimated Canada.

I guess canada should take immediate actions for rental scam landlords and filthy employers don’t give enough money.

If Canada doesn't welcome you anymore go to South Korea.

It's a Canadian tragedy that immigrants are homeless in Toronto and smaller communities are begging for an influx of people. There should be an incentive for immigrants to choose to bring their talents to rural Canada and form a new community away from their original homeland. This is how it was when my grandparents came to the prairies, a German community flourished.

have u guys seen the line at service Canada? ?

swap canada with literally every country in the world. Desperation

The US is very Canadian friendly, it has more options in terms of location. Canada NEEDS to be better than the us for it's citizens, because if it isn't, they will move south.

Corporations and businesses want an increasing supply of cheap labour. The real estate/development industry wants a growing market. The International School industry lobbies for increased numbers. Canadian governments have failed the citizens of Canada who sacrificed, paid taxes and literally built this country. Replacement Theory is a reality for many Canadians these days.

Where would Canada be without colonial immigration to populate it...???

Bald guy is WRONG. We don’t need immigration to Canada. We need to encourage in situ growth by people who already live in Canada having more kids. Changed in taxation alone could result in this.

Is Canada Queen size beds the same as the UK King? If so, plenty of room

I'm Canadian. Canada isn't the same anymore. Everyone is basically broke right now, no onr can find work, and if you can, you still won't be making enough to keep up with inflation. Mortages and rent have doubled, food prices are robbing us, and we are taxed significantly only for our tax dollars to be wasted. \n\nAnother issue is Crime. \nCrime has gone up, Especially in the past few years. Not only car thefts and scams, but violent crime too. Every week, an international student, or immigrant is charged with the murder of someone in my city. \n\nMy biggest issue is that they can't find drive very well either.\n\nI'm not racist. Its important to have an open mind and be accepting towards other cultures. However, our country has fallen. I mostly blame Trudeau, his government is very incompetent. He has ruined our country

i used to be proud of our diversity. i’m 41. \nbut starting a year ago. no. it’s just too much. where did all these people and specifically from india come to canada? it’s out of control.

Canada mistake. You allowed foreigners to be government officials.

I'm an immigrant in Canada (Since 2003) and I support controlled immigration, last few years have been a disaster. We cant keep bringing in 100s of thousands of people. Stop this insanity.

Wow this seems to be a problem everywhere now, the uk, Canada , the USA

Sadly Canada is on a dead end road to lower living standards greater social conflict and more government authoritarianism. There is no other realistic outcome.

I am an immigrant myself and i am agains immigration. It is obvious that Canada cannot digest so many people.

I don’t even necessarily blame the government. I blame the for profit immigration centers in foreign countries that sell canada as this utopia rich land. We’ve been struggling for years and it’s not fair for those who come here being told it’s paradise and they’ll make all the money they want when it’s not true. It’s fraudulent

Zero mention of the century initiative… zero mention of intentional wage suppression… zero mention of the lack of real competition and disinvestment of real productivity… zero mention of the over reliance of the real estate in our gdp… I can go on.\n\nThis video is so terribly shallow in its analysis and explanation of the situation in Canada, It’s frustrating.

A wite man saying Canada is broken? YES when it was colonized in the first place.

I'm kinda rooting for the guy who played too much truck simulator and just wants to spend his days crossing the countrysides of Canada and the States

Immigrant r standing against Immigrant well canada was bulid by Immigrant..

If you don’t like Indians in canada, you should also go back to Europe and free this land for natives

Liberals have made canada unsafe

I was fortunate to relocate to the Canada a few years ago. Witnessing the social issues exacerbated by ineffective immigration policies, I can understand why Canadians might feel frustrated. I'm always eager to engage with the community, but I found that many Canadians are reluctant to discuss politics or care about what is going on in their neighborhoods, and the voting rate in city elections are very low. A few months ago, I shared a city government survey designed to collect residents' opinions about the next 5-year development plan with some friends, but only one out of five showed interest in participating.\nI hope that more Canadians will take advantage of their democratic system to drive change and shape her into the country they want to live in. Back in my home country, we couldn’t vote for our government, so having democracy is a privilege—please use it wisely while you can!\nNote: I am grateful that the Canadians I’ve met have been very welcoming.

Now you have to check economic data. How Immigration save Canada from rescission.

Canada needs immigration to survive! They need workers and people.

Canada needs to halt immigration immediately!!!

As a son of an immigrant, immigration is not the issue. Quality immigration is. These days all Canada is bringing in are students that make college and university owners rich and keeps businesses like Tim Horton's running with low spending. While the big corporations get rich, every Canadian is being hurt.

No woke's gonna rule's our owns LIFE \n\nWe Really want Pierre Polievre for next PM to restore Canada Like the pre-Trudeau era before 2015

Canada new zealand australia are all immigrant decendent

That is the result from a teenager girl as Canada leader.

As an immigrant myself, I think Canadians want less Indians and Asians, Canada is an immigrant country but to many from India and china is just not fine even for me.

1st thought - *STOP being an IL Literate* and learn the difference between Immigration & seeking asylum/refugee status. Even if Canada stops all immigration tomorrow - it is still obligated to accept asylum status.

Canada's system is at fault too. Too much regulations and taxes to create new residential zones, buildings and houses. You could easily approve pre-manufactured standard houses (3d printed houses, container houses, etc) that could be mounted in a few days and create whole new neighborhoods in a few months. That technology is already here for decades. That would bring the housing prices down. But of course, landlords and realters would hate that.

5:35 Very very true.\nMy two friends struggled a lot in Canada. Somehow they have managed to come back. One completed his MBA & another quit his studies.

immigration is a business in Canada and we take advantage of the immigrants.

Odd that Guardian makes a video on anti-immigration sentiments in Canada, while their own country burns on anti-immigration riots! ?

who exactly is telling people in, say India, they can live a great life in Canada? an unskilled worker will have problems just about anywhere....

Great news. Take Canada back before we turn into Europe

Nonsense, Canada will dissappear if they can't attract immigrants

Canada was not generous in welcoming immigrants. They need immigrants so your economy would move. That’s a fact and an economic fact. All experts will say that. The problem is irresponsible immigration programs.

The government is to blame. And ordinary people always get the brunt of public anger . It's much easier to attack anyone new or vulnerable than to organise in a way that forces government to address the real economic and social structural issues that underpin the growing inequalities in Canada.

Because it's ruined our Canada going on now 30+ years

But Canada is an enemy…as soon as the northwest passage opens up, this fact will be obvious.

Canada is huge, way not build more housing? Canada brings in employees and taxpayers but doesn't provide housing.
