Finally immigrants are coming to their senses calling out the exaggerations/lies

This guy makes no sense canada is great but he is leaving and healthcare is great what is he talking about. Homelessness in Canada is through the roof, the amount of people living in tents and shelters.

The answer is really great!! He used great sense and was very direct in saying what the real situation is. Stop the occupation, stop the killing, stop the block aids.... Everyone needs to stay in their own country.

Damn this english language, that acts as an anger catalyst, that takes sense of intellectually to abject insanity

Why say they will be charger but we let them stay here. Makes no sense.

Canada needs Austrian social housing programs doesn't make sense to kick out educated hardworking people they're exactly the type of immigrants you want

Several names on the bank website list of leaders are actually Jewish. I think it’s somewhat deceptive to call Jewish people white since when most people think “white” they think Scottish or English, which is unfair. I don’t like the term “white people” since it literally has no context. Someone from Poland or Ukraine for instance, or Russia, has literally nothing in common with someone from Ireland or Sweden for instance bc they have completely different histories, cultures, religions, languages, foods, music, etc. etc. etc. I actually consider the term to be insulting. For instance, how would an oriental person feel if people went around calling them yellow folk? I expect they would not like that very much AT ALL!! Rightly so, they would be insulted. I don’t think black people should allow themselves to be called that either since they are actually NOT black. It’s rude. They are African Canadians. I am Irish Canadian. It makes more sense.

Canada is a crock of shit. Even before the Liberals ruined it, and even before they threw Christianity and the Lord out of school here, governments exercised their insatiable greed to spend and hob nob internationally like celebrities, Trudeau being the worst. The education system made no sense and served only to divide the intelligent and the less intelligent, never actually producing intelligent people but simply to go through the rigors of separating them. The Corporate greed in this country is astounding. The rich really get rich off the depravity of the rest of the people. The gap between the rich and poor now is terrifying. We allowed cowards for politicians and the LGBTQ rights lobbyists to separate us from Jesus who is God and then from our prosperity because the Word of God condemns them together. Canada is a veritable hellhole with no future. Do not come here without millions of dollars or be prepared to lose everything you brought with you from your native country.

I recently visited India from abroad and I was astonished to see the progress it has made.. I’m talking about rural Rajasthan, if you’re making 60-70k a year you’re sorted! You’re local, sense of belonging, house ownership etc

5:25 this is absolutely true, and I say this as someone born and raised in Canada. It is even worse than you say, and it affects Canadians too. Many organizations have a culture of meek compliance to rules, which may not make sense. Most Canadians try to avoid standing out, and standing out is likely to be seen by your boss and peers as threatening. No one wants to rock the boat.\n\nThese rules and expectations may differ substantially according to the politics and beliefs of the employer. For instance, overtime may be highly encouraged in one place and discouraged in another. But the veneer of handling things in a highly compliant and pleasant way is always there, with a hidden expectation that you will speak positively about the biases of your boss or owner. In other words, the common factor is that bosses often have fragile egos or are afraid of anything that challenges the status quo. This harms critical thinkers and innovators who often leave to the US or China, but also immigrants who have even larger barriers to working within the status quo. \n\nEven among better bosses I have had, I notice this tendency towards intense discomfort with ideas that come from outside of their direct experience. Though at least with my current boss and one other I had in the past, there is an intellectual curiosity and empathy which helps them gradually open up to unfamiliar things (and they're just awesome people in general). But I still notice this bias sometimes. It's definitely cultural.

The real problem is Canadian and Provincial governments obsession with taxation rather than investment. All governments all have a spending problem too. \n\nTax our income, tax our after tax dollar that we buy stuff with, tax the stuff we transport goods with, tax the land we live on with after tax dollars, oh yea and let’s tax the money the government rebates us cause that makes sense.

To support immigrants, particularly those from the Punjab community in Canada who may be considering a return to India, it's essential to address the multifaceted aspects influencing their decisions. Initiatives to enhance integration, create supportive communities, and provide resources can contribute to a positive experience for immigrants. Encouraging cultural exchange programs, offering language assistance, and providing targeted career development opportunities can help ease integration challenges. Additionally, fostering awareness about available support services and facilitating open dialogues on the challenges immigrants face can create a more inclusive environment. Recognizing and valuing the contributions of diverse communities enriches the overall cultural fabric of society, fostering a sense of belonging that can positively impact the decision-making process for immigrants.

Nothing about the country inspires loyalty or confidence. The leadership, federal and provincial, is a joke. The nation is comprised of people who want to turn a quick profit, and make their money buying and selling houses: that accounts for 20 FREAKING PERCENT of their GDP. There is nothing for a new citizen to rally around - no seriousness about themselves, no desire to build something big for the future, no sense of identity that does not exist in contradistinction to the US. The only good that has come of this disastrous experiment with immigration is that hardly anyone with any options will ever make the mistake that so many others have.

I'm a Brit who has lived here 13 years and my advice to any Brit thinking of moving here is not to. If you can live in a nice county and you have a decent job you are better off in the UK. There is a lot of decline in urban areas here, tweaking drug addicts and tent encampments the likes the UK has NEVER seen. It's incredibly expensive to rent if you want to live anywhere remotely interesting. The infrastructure is so bad, unless you have a vehicle or lots of money to keep flying, you will feel incredibly isolated here. Brits are lucky to have such a great network of public transport and close proximity to Europe and all the cheap flights to get you around there. The work life balance is not as good as the UK. Most jobs here will start you on 2 weeks a year and only increase as your service grows. So after 5 years of service you will get 3 weeks and so on. Don't expect 5 weeks vacation until you have put 20 years in with most jobs. Canada is boring, it really is and so are most Canadians who also seem to have no idea what a sense of humour is. I have found new immigrants to be the friendliest, especially those from China, India, Vietnam and the Philippines. Now to the wokeness of the place, oh gosh, it's so bad. The Alberta premier has just announced very sensible and much needed gender reforms which 95% of Canadians agree with. These reforms will protect young gay kids mostly. The left have completely lost their mind over this. Women here are in genuine fear of speaking out regarding their privacy and rights to single sex spaces and sports. In the UK , this is slowly improving I believe. I'm putting things in place so I can leave. I hope things improve once the liberal government are gone but it will take many years to get this country back on track.

I spoke to a nurse here in Ireland and she said that Indian nurses and doctors come to Ireland first and work for the HSE because they will make a more liveable wage in Canada with 2 years experience in an Irish hospital, which doesn’t make very much sense considering their qualifications don’t change and 2 years isn’t all that long in the grand scheme of things

Students aged 40+ ….Makes sense

doesnt make sense to me. All these applies to local citizens too - finding a job, housing, meeting expenses etc. Then why focus on immigrants? Not sure why you attribute these to the 17.5% that exit Canada. I am sure India has more no. of people leaving the country by many folds that number.

Any other country in the world would limit the number of international students coming into their own countries. Why shouldn't Canada limit our own borders and allow Canadians to afford and have housing at home? We are already accepting +1 million immigrants and refugees. We Canadians hope that common sense would prevail.

Why is America allowing these aliens to destroy their country? Doesn’t make sense

It's a great place to live if you are wealthy and own a home in a great neighborhood. \nI enjoy the diversity and the parks and the sense of community where I live.\nI can't imagine trying to make it here on an average wage.

Kuch samjh nahi aa raha. Kya kehna cha rhe ho. Different place and different rules. Ma ka ghar n saas ka ghar different hota h na.. adjust krna padta h! Apne reasons dekho, apni responsibility dekho... Then decide. Bhar bhar k paisa kamana only makes sense when you got no family to take care. You invested in good education and good future. Aapke bache sab sikhte.. jugaad nahi. They would have learnt the humility, discipline and life skills! Har cheez note ko gaddi hoti h.

I don't think multiculturalism is all its cracked up to be. Sound good on paper but usually it equals social tensions and sense of isolation, no sense of community. Plus Justin creeps me out even more than Biden.

OBVIOUSLY the new immigrants don't like being in Canada - after all, the country is overrun by immigration. Makes more sense to just go home.

STOP MAKING SENSE AND TELLING THE WESTERN WORLD THAT THIS TERRIBLE WAR IS 100% THE FAULT OF THE WESTERN WORLD AND, THEY ARE THE ONES WHO MUST SOLVE THIS PROBLEM - OTHERWISE THEY WILL DEMONISE YOU AS AN 'ANTI SEMITE'!!.

let's be honest as an international student I am in awe of how some internationals can study in Canada when they can't even speak English properly .. when I came here I needed to pass IELTS and get a band 7 for everything all my documents and transcripts were directly sent from the official email of my institution. I need to pass an exam before enrolling for my course, I have criminal, abuse registry, and child registry checks in my country and even when I am in Canada. Did all the immunizations needed and abide by their law i need to submit all these documents every 6 months access. to the policy of the program I am doing. And as an international remember you are coming to Canada they have their own culture so you need to respect and adjust to it, not Canada adjusting to you... even though Canada is diverse they have its own rules so yes adapt to the place where you are. And to them blaming the agency you the people who are using them knew exactly what they were getting into now you are complaining I did all my applications through DIY as IRCC is a direct applicant why need agents for application. Ircc should also question why a person needs an agent to process their applications. If they can't understand basic instruction and basic legal matters would you think those students will be able to survive the education system here in Canada? let's be real a lot of students are taking short-term courses, short like 8 months, and yes to get PR (I wouldn't lie cause that would be hypocrisy all international students have that aim, and if you say no just stay in your country). Now this a lesson to IRCC that they really need to make a thorough background before offering a PR permit ..and please when you are in public speak English respect the people around you... and don't speak too loud in your language when you are in working places.. uphold professionalism again remember you are in Canada a french English speaking country. And don't start with me about being racist.... cause it is plainly common sense.

Well even if India's per capita reaches 20000 dollars (assumed) people will not have civil sense it lack in indian society they should remain gulam

It's simple common sense dictate if you can't survive than you have to change that ?

Sensing a pattern:\n\nProvincial responsibility handled incompetently by conservative premier. Crisis ensues. Conservatives blame Trudeau. So fun.

Makes sense, I'm certain new immigrants have a pile of cash to shell out for the exhorbitent rents and grocery prices.

there are enough construction workers for canadas needs ... its just that bringing in one construction worker PLUS his wife and 8 kids PLUS his old grandparents PLUS elderly aunties and uncles PLUS 22 cousins that need hospitals or nursing homes..... you see how then that one construction worker is not enough? doesnt make any sense.

One has to assume that we have smart people behind the scenes that have been looking at this issues at length. They have either warned the government, and they ignored it, or there is something else at work. Perhaps the government KNOWS they will cause a housing crisis, and it's BY DESIGN!!! How many politicians out there own, or rent out their properties to gain income. This inflation will REALLY help their portfolio $$$. They are taking advantage of the crisis! If you spin it that way, their decisions all make sense. They do not care about Canadians at all, they only care about the already wealthy, protecting, or even gaining from the high inflation the KNEW WAS COMING. You have all been duped, and all politicians are in on it (red, blue, yellow and green!)

GOOF. NEEDS TO GO.MAKE CANADA GREAT AGAIN WITH A NEW PARTY .COMMON SENSE.

Our government is so incompetent and only reactive. Never proactive and no insight. International students may impact housing shortage but not the other infrastructures (or at a minimal level) like Healthcare, roads/traffic, violent crimes, community services (homeless, drugs,etc), etc. They do not create slums and ghettos. They probably have the lowest rate of criminal records as well. You don't even need exhaustive data analysis for this, just freaking common sense.

Bang on it! This is a sovereignty and common sense answer. He's saying that it's for Palestine to manage this also by their own resources. Clearly the Saudis are unhappy with Hamas' actions and the fact that Palestinians voted for them. Also they are intelligent enough without pointing fingers at Israel to tell them to stop their apartheid and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians

Masha Allah believe me we are thinking the same thing and we are leaving in USA ?? but like you said you believe it you believe I believe is my believe and I believe you we have the same believe good idea make that move makes sense

Canada is attracting the worst kind of international students, poorly educated, poor civic sense, rural men from Northern India esp Punjab. I said this many years ago, to my parents, you're going to see a collapse in social cohesion and we are seeing it in real time. This is having a disastrous effect on health care too, my father waited for 9 hours to get a scan, he lives with me now in the US and it took him 45 minutes to get a scan!!!

And Trudeau had no idea the problems this would create when he increased immigration to huge numbers, right? He knew this would put many Canadians in a precarious position, he just doesn't care. Our immigration should be tied to available infrastructure, police, medical, cultural similarity and gainful employment, but apparently that's too much common sense.

Common sense isn't Common. This guy thought wearing a knife and head dress was a good idea. This is America and we have been attacked by people looking like this.

I moved to Mexico & everything about my life is better not to mention the weather and the people here are friendlier & generous, the sense of history, culture & architecture is incredible so many different climates to explore. Healthcare can be free or there is different levels of private care & they currently have a government that is truly democratic & investing in the country & its people. I haven’t been affected by the violence English media loves to focus on & suspect a lot of the problems stem from USA meddling

But it make sense though. when moving in a country that has different culture/and religion than yours you can't expect them to chance their why of life for you. Just like you cannot make Canada or any other none muslim country muslim it also applies to some muslim countries as well. you can't just move into a muslim country and expect them to change their culture so it matches yours(To Christianity) for example. You either get assimilate or you struggle unless you succeed. Of course you should have freedom to practice your religion and beliefs.

im not even allowed to rent so called student rentals if im not a student. Even though its an apartment... so special privilege for outside students over Canadian citizens, okay... make it make sense?

Let the colleges be responsible for housing of students. In common sense, one dormitory with 10,000 students are not responsible action. Education is not a business, but a responsibility.

His comment doesn't make any sense because the Isreali Government has no intention of taking any land, there are concrete wall borders and they will remain so. The mass casualties seem to be to their advantage.

The solution is simple arithmetic and some common sense.

Yes. I have nothing against them, they're good kids, but Jesus, all I see nowadays are students, and most of them are here to get PR. It's bad for us, and even worse for them. And now that they can work unlimited hours, they're driving down wages across the board. Nothing against immigrants, I came here 30 years ago myself, but you can't just bring in a million people a year and drive up housing costs while driving down wages. It's common sense

We all know what the problem is. Nobody will say it though. Dirty, disgusting people make the city dirty and disgusting. Learn how to take care of yourselves, your hygiene, property, manners. It's just common sense, and yet nobody seems to have that anymore.

The notion that it’s their land is a myth and its inhabitants are used by all surrounding Arab nations as pawns for the constant disruption to Israel. FACT. And now you want Israel to leave the land in its entirety to them once again? And now as a consequence of barbaric terrorism? Does that make sense??

Palestinians should not leave their land, but they should also actively seek some steps towards peace. You can't demand end of fighting and peace when you actually started the fight with unimaginable violence.... That is not how common sense works....

Converting to Islam, I would suggest a critical to looking up the history of the belief, the book and finding a good historical teacher of Christianity. One bias of mine looking into the belief is the editing the Hebrew and Christian books 600 years after the fact by a man who could not read or write and his angelic messenger telling him to do so grabbed him and threatened him. NEVER read of an angel of God doing that before. And editing the Hebrew, Christian's books 600 years after they were written, is like saying a man editing the writings of 1776 in 2376, by a man who could not read or write, is better than the original writings? Can't sell that, makes no sense.

I hope people realize that these issues are not coming from the average person or the homeless themselves. The rich and your lazy politicians are helping to create these conditions. No one with a steady job should be homeless in any city. That makes no sense. Why is housing becoming so expensive in every major city in the western world? Sounds like a plan to me
