Pretty much any human with common sense can understand why

Sorry, what kind of a joke law is this? I don’t understand

Just so people understand, the Landlord and Tenant Board is PROVINCIAL. If you claim to want a better Canada, start with learning about the country that we’re in. Also, hold your provincial premiers accountable.

bro thought being a landlord is a money farm. the girl is in the wrong for sure but we need her side of the story to fully understand the situation. perhaps she's doing what my friend had to just to finally get the attention from the landlord to solve issues in the building. my friend had to go 8 months not paying his rent (keeping that money separately to please lawyers) just so a landlord would get in contact with him about his apartment ceiling caving in forcing the dudes family to live out of their living room. this landlord just wants to retire, i bet the building has major issues thats being ignored.

Because for better or worse western generosity is becoming a victim of its own success. There are problems with unchecked immigration. I don’t agree with anti immigrant sentiment but I understand .

Banning hijab = racism? WTF. You can't be serious right? Sad, sad world we live in. No need to say more or continue the video, that's enough to understand that you are just one of these mega woke.

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.

I will never understand why Canada still has birthright citizenship and dual citizenship.

Its easy to understand\nCanada needs Selected immigrants \nand not welfare seekers\nThis is what we are getting Welfare lovers

Last time I checked Mexicans can’t enter without a visa Canada your material is very wrong on that. I’m not understanding your statement that people are coming by bus from Canada to the US. They will get stopped at the border and be asked for documents to enter- I’m not understanding the bus schemes you are talking about! Can you explain to us how are they crossing the border with the bus? Generally if you cross the territory of another country none can stop you from using the transportation available in that country the drivers are not in the wrong here and are not obligated to check the passengers for a visa. It’s not like they are crossing the border with their vehicles. Your material is a bit BS.

I don't understand the way theose people are thinking!! Yes, you might get away with a year or 2 of not paying rent, but at some point, you'll get evicted, and your name will be on the Openroom website, how TF then you'll get a landlord to accept your application then ? You might saved 20 or 30K, but you'll spend it in few months living in a hotel hoping for someone to rent you their place

And you gotta ask yourself why the Arabs aren’t letting them in…once you solve that mystery then you understand why Israel can’t live with them either

It's not that hard to understand.

What part of “we would die if we stayed in our home countries” do people not understand. If my life was at risk and/or I couldn’t go from poor to at least middle class in my home country, I would leave too. So many Americans are leaving America, because they can’t get to the middle class or they would financially struggle here. Whats the difference? Oh right, they’re coming and they’re poor. But wait, there’s that other point THEY WOULD DIE if they stayed. If you don’t care about that you’re an inhumane sociopath.

The problem is that people don’t understand that Canada is a federation. There needs to be coordination between the federal government and the provinces. Canada lets people in, provinces provide the services. Canada doesn’t build housing, provinces and municipalities do. Canada doesn’t build schools. Canada doesn’t build hospitals. This is a federation and until people understand the country they live in, they will never solve all the challenges ahead. Just like Quebec, all provinces should negotiate with the federal government to provide immigration permits according to their needs. The more Ottawa centralises everything, the bigger the problem will become.

So I dont understand why they dont just sayb?whoever has it now is it. No more housing for illegal immigrants who are not already housed. Free ride is over. They should put that into law if they will. No one in their right mind would want to come. Leave them to have nothing else from us. They would beg to go back to their own country.?

Reading the comments, I realize how awful a human being can be, they doesn’t understand the suffering of refugees and yet they say awful things about them\nput yourself in their shoes before judging someone

sigh.... what do u expect EU to do for you? EU has housing millions of migrants now, they dont want anymore. Most migrants and refugees all wanan go to germany, france, uk... They had enough also. Meanwhile, eastern border countries dont wanna accept these people also, because they know the western european countries wont want them either. Nobody wants to accept these migrants. It's sad, but also understandable. Dont blame the migrants who want to seek better lives for themselves, we all do. Blame the world and their leaders for f**king up these countries and now their people have to leave their home countries..

You're the kindest person i have seen on the internet lately, you answered all the questions, some people don't even read what others asked before them & understand, they ask again and You're not tired. ❤❤❤❤ please be good all the time, i am hungry of kind people around me

I don’t understand what’s the problem if you let everyone migrate to where they want too. It’s just lines on a map that separate us, think back a couple 100 years people could go basically anywhere they wanted.

I don’t understand why you would leave a communist country to rush to America and vote democrat and turn it into same country you just left

It is not the immigrate the problem, it is a political problem trying to do too much too fast. The Federal government needs to understand the capacity of their own country and how to build more infrastructure and do we have the money to do it.

Really, one only has to look at the pro hamas demonstrations that have been going on for almost a year now to get an understanding as to one reason why Canadians are starting to tire of immigration.

I can't believe how people don't understand this. You remove the Palestinians from Palestine the Israelis have won. The Arab world shouldn't take 1 refugee

Arab countries don't give them n other arab people asylum, i don't understand why Europeans are so hellbent on giving them.. ?..

I understand the concern, but asking for asylum does not guarantee you to stay in Canada. Now, in marine transportation, if stoaways/crew members fleet or ask for asylum the marine transportation has to pay fees and is considered responsible for them ... its up to the company to make sure this does not happen... regardless of laws people will do this

I really can’t understand why the government pushes the idea that Canada’s identity is mainly from immigrants. It’s true to a degree but that causes identity issues for not only Canadians whose families have been there for generations, but also 2nd and 3rd generations that come from immigrants. At some point you have to slow down and let culture and integration happen naturally

This guy went to all homeless ppl and asking them , any way Indians don’t do drugs mostly , if this is the case every where I understand this is problem but one of the city so why so big fuss

My understanding is that people are being played upon again, in-fact the real threat is de-dollorization, about which nobody talks much. As noticed recently through the news, manufacturing is returning back to West from China which obviously will demand skilled labour. Dollar loosing it's value (due to de-dollarization) and once immigrants starts leaving Canada, this will add on to the trouble exponentially, leaving Canada unattractive....When I say, skilled labour, then I mean the real working guys, not the cozy European immigrants. These are my understandings...Lets see how it goes, I am eager to see.

It’s sad that these people want to come to a place that hates them so much. It must be really really bad where they are coming from. USA people will never understand that type of struggle.

And no one is in prison for treason. Joe Biden will drift on in luxury and delirium. Is he even capable of understanding what he has done? Does he even care?

The only sane voice comes Up at 11 minutes later. Who understands both economics and political compulsions. Rest are sheep.

We need more of this in order to understand how to resolve this issue. It's alarming and very concerning.

i hope you American people understand the same happens the same ways, everywhere.

A Sri Lankan who always gets misidentified as Indian reading the comments here. ? I moved here with the genuine purpose of studying for my LLM, after considering several countries. I was offered a scholarship from my university (a top ranking public university) I know several of my Indian colleagues who came to study & now work in universities & firms. I know educated people who came here from SL, India & other South Asian countries who came to study with the genuine purpose of studying & now pursuing PhDs here & elsewhere. I understand how concerned the whole immigration issue is for Canadians & new commers like us. I’ve always loved to study in Canada & now that I’m here just to see all these negative sides is truly heartbreaking. I was able to secure a decent apartment & decent job (both me & my husband)& so are my friends & colleagues. I love Canada & means no harm. I’d love to use my knowledge & serve developing countries like mine one day. I kindly request anyone reading my comment, please don’t judge. There’re people who came here to study & love to contribute their knowledge & skills to the world. Thank you.

Immigration ruined the economy its not hard to understand

There isn’t much to understand. It’s not a rocket science. Immigration used to be a driver of the work force. Notes it’s a burden on shelters, and budgets. \nThe entitlement is a curse. \nIf you bring a million people into the country who demand housing, food, money, schooling and aren’t willing to work and pay for anything, it’s a path to nowhere. \nAny more questions?

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.

Gee, could it be because Canadians have been exposed to unrestrained immigration too quickly for the immigrants to assimilate? Because of the pressure on public services? Because a lot of the immigrants don't share the same cultural values? When you live and work in a little cultural bubble you won't understand any of this.

It’s time that people understand the difference between refugees and immigrants ?

It’s easy to understand. !??? Western countries going to another country’s to take their natural resources. In exchange for their some population to arrive like refugees. We need blam on government individuals not on purely people who left everything and come to start new Beginning

immigration is understandable, but please keep public safety for local people ??

Public opinion has never shifted. You just now understanding it is all

I think Trudeau & his cabinet meant well with their immigration policies. However, they lacked the competence to understand the impact of same policies.\n\nThey are ‘learning on the fly’

I don't really understand why it's alright for Japan and Korea to take a stand against immigrants that aren't culturally similar, but it isn't for Western nations like Canada.

Imagine if we as Americans let everyone through the border and into Canada, Canadians would start to understand our struggle with immigration much more

I am centre-left and I am up to here with immigrants. But the government is just NOT hearing what the country is screaming. Immigrants only ‘have a lot to contribute’ if we stop accepting unskilled workers. I am so tired of having service workers who don’t understand English, and immigrants buying up every fast-food franchise and small business. It is profoundly de-stabilizing for our culture. But The Guardian and the Trudeau Liberals (I am centre-left, remember) are utterly deaf to the deep sentiments in this country.

mass migration. \nso easy to understand\nso so easy to understand

Do people not understand we want where we live to be the same place it was when we grew up. Keep these people where they were born.

With the people do still not understand why the governor a state, the chief of police of cities, the DAs and judges of cities, Congress, and that Mr. sitting in the White House that people of the United States of America, do not give you permission to bring these people in to our country!!!!! How do you individuals have your job position with the stupidity that you show America every day?
