Trudeau's vote bank politics is causing unemployment, housing crisis etc at the expense of Canadians.

If you are coming to Canada as a student you have to show that you can 100% afford to be self sufficient without requiring a job in Canada, nor rely on our social systems and food banks.\nThose services are for Canadians only.\nInternational students should be forced to house on campus, until our housing crisis is under control. He who profits, is responsible for their “lucrative assets”

This is happening because Trudeau caused a housing crisis with his ridiculous immigration policies and student visas & temporary workers. He knows he's going to lose the next election over this & taxes and now he's desperate to save himself!! It won't work. Canadians are done with him & the Liberals & NDP!!

We don't hate you, we just need to cap immigration because we are in a housing crisis

There are not enough jobs created and there is also a big housing crisis!

Canada is now in very big risk don’t cook stories with half knowledge Canada Healthcare crisis is increasing day by day along with housing crisis and inflation is icing on the cake so please do stories with some true information I am a student in Canada now looking for work permit

I am Canadian. My problem is not with the Indians, it the rate of immigration is far out pacing our infrastructures to support all of them. There's a lot of greed fueling issues. Foreigners are being exploited for cheap labor and wage suppression, indian students are being pumped into colleges at inflated rates. There was a lobby group called the century initiative that really pushed for 100mil Canadians by year 2100 that seems to have been a big part of why there was such an aggressive push. It's members were affiliated with companies that stood to profit greatly from the housing crisis.\n\nIndians are not the problem. It's a fucked up system and a lag in infrastructure. I want all that come here to thrive, and it's possible. We need to come together in order to problem solve this. \nWe can lead with empathy, and revolt with innovation. Look for opportunities to begin positive feedback loops with locals. I've noticed the accent can really make or break an interaction between Indians and locals. Really focus on perfecting the language and the local manners is my first suggestion for newcomers. \nSecondly is just to get involved. When locals see foreigners joining them in efforts to improve the community we warm up to them. When prejudice divides us, we are enabling the exploitation by the ruling classes that are disconnected from our hardship.\n\nGood luck

Bangladeshis come here illegally. Apparently we can accommodate millions of them? Actually we have a housing crisis.

They’re reason for housing crisis \nTrudeau love indian

The situation is more nuanced than just blaming migrants at large. \n\nFirstly, migrants were part of the population that accelerated Canada's economic development. \n\nOne big modern example is the building of the tracks (manual labour) of the Canadian National Railway across the country: much of the physical labour was done by migrants.\n\nAnother example is temporary farm workers that help plant and harvest Canadian crops annually.\n\nIn contrast, there are some migrants that have intentionally taken advantage of opportunities to invest in and monopolize large plots of land development all over Canada in recent decades. Prominently in Vancouver and Toronto.\n\nThis unrestricted monopolization of Canadian land is usually done by the wealthy from other countries. As a result, housing market prices goes up in and around these land development projects that the local population are unable to keep up to afford. And it's the fault of both the federal and provincial governments in just letting these wealthy investors gain a monopoly on Canadian soil and artificially driving up housing market prices.\n\nThe influx of international student visas have only exacerbated this housing crisis because land development investors are now using their new establishments as international student housing for profit while pricing out or simply not catering to the need for housing for the local population.

India is currently exporting far too many people to Canada. The mass immigration into Canada is causing huge problems throughout the country. Canadian people are angry because the mass immigration is destroying wages, causing a massive housing crisis and mass inflation on food and everything.\n\nThis is not purely the fault of the Indian people... It is mostly the fault of politicians, corrupt profiteers from cheap imported labour and immigrants entering Canada through false pretenses and illegal entry. Because India is the largest exporter of immigrants into Canada it makes them the easiest group to target.\n\nWhen you add the attacks on established Canadian culture it really stirs up the worst in people. An example that really angers many Canadians is the turban. This may be a part of Indian culture but when people immigrate to Canada and demand to become police and command Canada to change their police uniform for their incoming culture. Imagine Canadian workers entering India and calling the turban racist and demanding they be banned from public view? Would the Indian people accept Canadians if they demanded India change to make them more comfortable there?

So we have a house crisis despite having vast amount of habitable land? There's no shortage of land in Canada. You see how corrupt and rigged the market is?

These students have no right to protest. First thing they are not citizens of this country. So take a hike. The other issue which is the main issue is that we have a huge housing crisis in Canada. Where Canadians who were born here cannot buy a house because there's nothing really to buy and adding foreign students in the mix is just creating more problems. Protesters are being selfish and the way I see it you're being selfish. Then you need to be deported leave now. Canada welcomed you under false pretenses with a government that had no plan for housing. You, it's unfortunate you've been all taken advantage of by a government that has no direction

Not sure why you're protesting Canada's a sovereign country and we can have to take care of our own people. Canada is in the middle of a housing crisis bringing foreign students. Where are you going to house them? What does this mean? Does this mean evict Canadian citizens for foreign students? I don't think so. Foreign students better think again about these protests because right now many Canadians don't want them here and that's not being mean. It's just that we don't have the means to take care of our own, let alone other people coming here and drowning on our resources

Yall cant blame Canadians for hatin' Indians. Indians flooded Canada in miĺlions & kept comin'. 70% to 80% of temporary immigrants & international students here in Canada are all indians. They are freakin' everywhere. They disrespect the people and the culture, lies and cheat, exploited our resources & took our jobs, caused a housing crisis, started gangs that commit scams & crimes and they even poop on the streets and the beach! Just totally disgusting and appaling. Yall should leave Canada & go back to India!

The housing crisis is such a huge problem with so many root causes. Immigration is hyper focused on but its effect on the housing crisis is a symptom of larger issues not the sole cause of it.

Everyone is confusing the increase rate of housing aka the housing crisis to the influx immigrants. The reality is most of the homeless people are on the street because Canada has not been able to create employment, stop the drug problem, and provide the people who already having citizenship with proper social scheme benefits. People never ask the quition who is benefiting from the increase in housing prices or what will Canada do if they get the international students who are pouring money into Canada's GDP. It's a fact that Canada is not strong when it comes to manufacturing, growth and other aspects which make a country strong economically. Pushing out immigrants will only hurt the growth of Canada and nothing else.

Tell Olivia Chow about the housing crisis. Maybe she should open up her house to immigrants.\nAlso too many people are renting homes then refuse to pay so homeowners are left with the mortgage.

Good! Liberals have allowed way too many people come in the last few years! No wonder we have a housing crisis!

Oh now being the eminent election coming, he finally thinks he needs to limit immigration now that we are already screwed. Too late Trudeau. He needs to stop immigration until we catch up after letting so many of them in our Country, including terrorists, car thieves, and those who think they can do what they did in their Countries. Trudeau, you have ruined our Country, especially for the 20 and 30 some year old Canadians. They have no hope. No wonder mental health is on the rise. There should also be rules of how many foreign students should be allowed. Many Universities have more foreign students that domestic ones because Universities are a business and foreign student are big business. Also caused a housing crisis. Nothing good came from Trudeau.

JUSTIN TRUDAEU IS GREAT HE IS DOING GREAT JOB \nI SUPPORT HIM FOR WHAT HE IS DOING TO PREVENT HOUSING CRISIS AND UNEMPLOYMENT RATE TO CONTROL\nTHESE INTERNATIONAL STEDENTS SPECIALLY INDIAN STUDENTS AFTER THEY DONE THEIR STUDY THEY HAVE NO INTENTION TO GO BACK INDIA\nITS MEAN THEY MORE INTERESTED IN PR AND APPLYING FOR IMMIGRATION THAN THEIR SO CALL STUDY WHICH IS THEY COME IN CANADA FOR ITS MEAN THEY USE STUDY AS EXCUSE TO GET PR AND CANADIAN IMMIGRATION\nFINNALY CANADIAN GOVERMENT WOKE UP AND FINNALLY THEY FIGURE OUT AND START TO TAKE STEP. \nJUSTIN TRUDAUE IS GREAT

This is little to do with ( Indians) , as an ozzy, we have had 3 consecutive years with the Einsteins in office letting 3 times as many immigrants into the country, Whilst we have a housing crisis. It is a fact that Australia has become a rich man's playground with most housing in the vicinity of 500 K to 1 million AUD and over in most parts of the country. Paris is now cheaper than Parramatta.\nThis coupled with the high interest rates and cost of living have crippled many of the middle class, with many cities fighting over a flat for rent; at times over 100 people fight over 1 property. We have working families some with children living in tents or cars, all the while multiple large construction companies which build the houses are collapsing like flies.\nWe have taken an influx of (refugees) who have taken it upon themselves to have disruptive protests in the streets to show their unwavering gratefulness to our patronage. They expect by protesting and disrupting our business that they will somehow get our leaders to stop the war in Israel. \nBenny Netanyahu has made up his mind that killing his people was a really bad idea, and he is going to get every last bad tooth out ! Despite what our despots say.\nThis has pissed the normal swagman in the streets off no end ! Little do they realise, that even if we the Serfs had a week long protest to stop the government making stupid decisions, it would not deter them for a minute !

It is critical to point out that the immigration, job and housing crisis was caused by the Trudeau led government. There are also 500,000 illegal and undocumented immigrants. The keyword here is Illegal. Deport them all and stop the tsunami

It is noteworthy that the immigration, job and housing crisis was caused by the Trudeau led government. There are 500,000 illegal and undocumented immigrants in Canada also. The keyword here is Illegal. Deport them all and stop the tsunami

Justin Trudeau did great job,\nFinnally Canadian Goverment woke up\nIts getting worst since they allowed too many immigrants which is creating so many problems specially HOUSING CRISIS\nI support Canadian Goverment and Prime minister Justin for this announcment\n?????

*Reasons why we don’t want more Indians:*\n\n- Lack of assimilation, refusal to learn even basic English\n- Housing crisis, not enough housing for 1+ million migrants arriving since 2023\n- Horrible business practices, migrant slave labor, they get paid $5/hr, some not even paid\n- Radical Indian opposition groups such as Khalistan movement

This reminds me of a feeble attempt to fix the housing crisis after letting far too many people into the country. This guy is about as useful as last weeks weather report.

You and all the other ministers are just useless. Cant wait for you be fired by Canadians. No more immigration until the housing crisis is solved. Same with the foreign students, they can all stay in their countries till all our own issues are solved.

They were warned about the housing crisis years ago but ignored it.

Do not renew temporary foreign worker visas. Do not renew student visas. Start deporting. Housing crisis solved.

Immigration should be limited to the number of houses built the previous year... less 20% till the housing crisis has been fixed

Should have been stopped years ago. So much damage has been done to Canadians with these low wage temporary foreign workers. STOP ALL immigration right NOW, until Canada has resolved the affordable housing crisis, and access to health care crisis. Then resume immigration within sensible parameters, i.e. skilled workers, in small numbers.

Same thing is happening in Australia, people are blaming higher cost of living and the housing shortage crisis on the influx of migrants. The government is restricting their visa acceptance by half.

44 deportations a day? Even the government acknowledges that there are over 1 million people who have overextended their visa's/permits and have been ordered to be deported by judges but have not been (that does not include people currently being processes). So, 44 a day is a ridiculously low number. Imagine if the government did its job, that would be around 1 million places to live that could be freed up during this housing crisis.

Well, housing and mortgage crisis seem to be expanding across the world now. In Ireland, everything is similarly expensive. The same in Britain, France, Spain, NZ and Australia. China is no different though it is done more on the basis of developer crashing out. South Korea and Japan are being plagued.\n\nHousing crisis seems to be turning worse.

I can't understand. Why does Canada have the most vast land on earth, but instead of building new cities on new ground, rather trying to squeeze more immigrants into built communities and causing a housing crisis? There must be some systematic problem.

There is a housing crisis that's true but this $190k min income and then only you can afford a mortgage is complete bullshit..even if you have basic like $50k or $60k salary still you can afford townhomes and apartments in the $300-350k range and with an income of $70k you can sfford $400k homes..also not every home is $700k average priced as this is only in ontario and B.C....other cities you can still afford homes

If you know what’s good for you, avoid Germany by all means. It isn’t what the media makes it seem. Major housing crisis, micro/subtle racism, dealing with the bureaucracy and worst of all “Steuer, teuer… Germany isn’t for the weak!

What this video doesnt address is why arn't german young people getting skilled for these in demand jobs? Aging population cannot be the only factor. I have my own personal experience with living in germany, and feel the video tries to diminish the severity of the issues. I can relate to all the comments: xenophobia, neighbors literally spying on you and complaining to the authorities, unnecessarily complicated paperwork, the great free medical care? waiting times for care are months and months long! You will never be integrated even if you speak the language, you will always be a foreigner and not accepted. Similarly, i left for the netherlands - it was like night and day and have been here for the past 10 years. There are challenges here as well - eg. housing crisis, but the people and environment is a lot more positive.

Not just housing crisis.. but Islamist thinking people will ruin this beautiful country.. god bless Canada.. why this Trudeau taking more immigrants.. specially from Syria Iran Iraq m all.. bad

It is always easier to blame others for our problems and some groups or politicians will use that to their advantages. There are however multiples causes for the housing crisis. About Here covers the subject more in-depth.

Housing Crisis?????.Truedeau is that crisis???.leftist agenda.This is when you support socialism and communism.More of is coming and WORST.

It's true that the housing crisis is caused by multiple factors, as is the crisis in healthcare. However that doesn't mean there is no basis to recognising that adding more population faster than we increase affordable housing and the number of doctors is a bad idea for society. It's not xenophobia to want immigration to be at a sustainable pace.

Yo, I gotta come clean, I'm from India, but hear me out, I'm not being racist. It wasn't Indians who legalized drugs in your country or messed up the housing crisis. Blame the people you voted for, man.\n\nIn my opinion, it's all the government's fault.\n\nEven though I'm Indian, I gotta say, I can't stand Brampton. It's not even Canadian, man. I'm all for multiculturalism, but some newcomers don't even try to interact with other cultures or learn about them. It's like they come to an English-speaking country and don't even bother to learn the language. I wish they could learn about Canadian customs and manners before they get here.

No country is immune to inflation and housing costs because the world has been printing money since the 2008 crisis and 2020 pandemic.\nThere’s nowhere to run from this

This is CRAZY you not allowed to miss you mortgage payments or property tax but you somebody can miss rent for years and the system would protect them. Thats why I don't even rent my basement I bought my house for me and my family yes the extra income is good but not worth the headache and when they talk about hosing crisis too bad i don't even listen to that you can sleep outside for all i care

Anti immigration or anti Indians working at Dim Hordons and mess up orders? The guardian has no credibility, throw bunch sentiment with mix of intentional data, then you get lots misled viewers. And Toronto condo market has collapsed atm. \nImmigration and affordability are two separate issues. Affordability and housing crisis are also two separate issues. \nThere is a rental housing shortage because of immigration. Affordability is caused by policies, tax systems, leveraged out investors(rich immigrants with foreign cash). \nYes blame immigrants for housing shortage, but no , don't blame immigrants for affordability.

I was in Canada in 2022 for some while because of the country's positive reputation but left again quickly because I didn't want to be part of that housing crisis and infrastructure problems.
