DOES ANYONE ASK WHY IMMIGRANTS ARE COMING, IF WESTERN GOVERNMENTS CONTINUE TO DESTABLISE AND WEAKEN OTHER COUNTRIES IN AFRICA AND THE MIDDLE EAST WHY BE SURPRISED IF NORMAL PEOPLE IN THOSE WANT TO SEEK A BETTER AND MORE STABLE LIFE IN THE WEST. MORAL OF THIS TALE THE WEST NEEDS TO STOP INVADING OTHER COUNTRIES!

Canada is the next UK. You let all of India and the middle east in, that's the result. It's only a matter of time before half of Canada is Sharia law and the other half Hindu

I consider myself International( 3ed generation Canadian) because I spent half of my life working in many countries. Canada was always my home until about 15 years ago when I started feeling that thigs are changing in the wrong directions not only the immigration influx but total anti-Christian war, morality, family values, sexualization of children etc etc. its all gone to HELL !! This is not only about money and cheap labor, rather the NEW WORLD ORDER that the Western ELITES have implementing for decades. The same thing that's happening to us Canadians, it's happening to Americans, Britian, France, Spain, Italy, Germany and most of our G20 group because they all agreed to this globalization, and neoliberal policies. Now that my children graduated, I have moved them to an east European country where all my values and beliefs are still intact. I will be leaving Canada soon with a very sad heart, in my mind I will keep the Canada that I once loved. THIS IS ALL PLANNED it's not a mistake !! The countries in EU that don't allow for mass immigrants are being targeted, sanctioned, fined in the billions and are forcing to oust the governments ( Hungary, Slovakia, Poland etc )!! Government wants racial hearted and that's why it allows things that aggravates the Canadians...it's all about control and fear, they want us te fear each other !! If Canadian government wanted a high birth rate than it should have given the money that they spend on new immigrants to Canadian mothers in order to stay home and have more kids. Many countries have birth incentives for more than 2 children, countries that are nowhere economically on the Canadian level. Simply as I said, this is about globalization !!!

We have it a shot with East Indians and realized we just didn’t like them. It’s time for them to go home

I am so happy people are starting to speak up. Sadly, I am changing. I am becoming angry. Angry at immigrants and the system. Am I becoming racist? Or just so lost at how things seem so wrong. My main upset is for my teen son. Turned 16 after Christmas. So excited about looking for a part-time job, earning some money, getting experiences and (unbeknownst to him ) expanding his social circle. This excitement came from me. LIke all us Canadians who remember our first part-time jobs (mine was at a McDonalds), I regaled my son in stories of that first part-time job. How much I learned from it, and the so many benefits it would have for me as I got older. He listened, and couldn't wait to turn 16. Also, like most parents, I raised him on the benefits of working hard in school, getting good grades, learning, getting involved, etc. Do these things son, and you will have a good future. He listened. Honours student all his life. Played on school teams. Performed in talent shows, Volunteered his time, etc., etc. Not a bad resume for a first time teen seeking a job. It is now heading into September. He has applied at all the traditional teen job hotspots, (all the fast food joints, grocery stores, drug stores, etc). Dozens of resumes, online and in-person applications. Not a single response. Then I walk into the local Burger King. Not a single Caucasian, Black, Hispanic, Indigenous, or Far Eastern employee. All East Indian (or Pakistani). Suddenly I am really noticing this trend everywhere, especially in the franchise fast food industry; especially upsetting when I even see it in a Harvey's (even more Canadian than Timmies). It's either East Indians or Arabs. I don't know for how long I have been hearing about diversity and fair hiring practices (which I have always supported); but to see this trend makes me furious. Are the owners of these franchise exempt from fair hiring practices? Are they not taught we are a diverse country? This is wrong. I want to finish with two sad situations which we should all be concerned about. When my eldest was looking for part-time work after the pandemic, he walked into a Mr. Submarine. He asked if he could leave his resume or fill out an application. The Arab cashier told him in broken English they were not hiring. As he was walking out, a young Arab man walked in. He approached the same cashier and asked for an application. She gave him one. WTF. My last comment, is the most concerning of all. My 16 year old, who works so hard at school, and at everything he does, recently commented, after yet another non-reply after handing out a slew of resumes, "Dad... what's the use of working so hard if I can't even get a job at McDonalds." I wonder how many other Canadian teens are feeling the same way. Not just white teens. Black, Hispanic, Indigenous and East Asian teens. Seems the broken English East Indian and Arab teens and young adults aren't asking themselves that. How long until my son thinks I am just spewing BS about this hard work thing? This is not about racism. This is about fair hiring practices, especially in more and more franchises; however, I do find myself listening to more and more of these videos, and find myself developing sucb negative feelings towards these two cultures. This is not Canadian. To be thinking this way, especially, is not Canadian. What do we do? Speak up, and we are racist. Stay quiet, and our teen kids move into adulthood without job experience, money put away, or just having a life experience that any of us over 30 (no matter our race) experienced. Something has to change; but I haven't a clue how to do that.

Get rid of the f****** government bringing a government that care about your people and f*** them immigrant especially the East Indians

Stop importing from the middle east .

TWICE i have driven off 7+ young middle eastern men harassing a young lady...I would go to jail, for anyone's daughter!..even if she was from the middle east. CANADA

I agree with over percent with what the white women said at th e beginning.. The part that she actually does have to hear and accept is the truth..Her ancestors were and are colonizers, those are basic truths.. But the Government must turn the taps down on immigration right away, it is totally out of control.. Things are at the point where no one Zero more immigrants from India and Pakistan should be allowed to enter the country, for at least the next few years , until the government can get a true handle on things.. I really don't think the government officials have any idea of the pace at which Canada is rapidly changing.. It is mind boggling the rapid changes and that's from every single nook and cranny of this once beautiful country you will see new immigrants.. There are places i went to as a child with my folks, where you would never have seen nothing but white people, maybe a few native people, a couple of black and oriental folks and that was it.. Now there are car loads of east Indians running around some actually living in those communities.. I am not a racist person, but that's my own observation on the ground.. I think every single Canadian in this country would have the exact reaction..

I’m all for people to have safe and good lives, but it’s aggravating as hell, when East Indians in general here in Canada are 1.) Preying on women and children 2.) trying to shove their beliefs on everyone else and threaten people 3.) get entitled benefits to the moon.

Brother JamCan, this whole thing was predictable decades ago! I got to Canada in 1995 right after hell unfolded in the country of a thousand hills! I saw with my own eyes & felt from personal experience how great my adopted country was! However, not everything was rosy! I saw and experienced the "not-in-your-face" anti-black racism, whether politically, socially, and most def in the employment market! At the same time, the establisment (read white folks) was busy encouraging & promoting east indians to take up leadership roles in all spheres of the society, thus making them the "model minority" in the country! This mess was bound to happen, and in the end, this is what got us here! My feeling is that white canada is totally responsible for this, and they should stop crying on TV, roll up their sleeves, and clean up the mess! Peace Out!

I hope Trump makes it worse for the Canadians. Canada, Europe; they're gone. If Trump saves us in the US; which I don't believe he can because there are too many stupid Americans. If he does; we will need to look toward east Europe and Russia. After I he west collapses itself these nations will rise due to their unity. China will also rise. The West is going down.

Canadian jobs r being then by east Indians that can't even speak the language. Time to go

Northern health in prince rupert has hired at least 18 east Indians. Look at security making $33.00 an hour they sleep all night. Fix it .deport all. So Canadians can work. They wear there turbins, go back. The government, sold Canadians out

Rupert is going downhill fast, rupert will soon be a east Indian community

I don't like sitting in my lounge and hear east Indian language

Canadian Govt. must learn from middle east...Saudies, dubai, baharin. etc...they bring in cheap labour from world over but never give citizanship rights be it a muslim worker...contract over go back to your home countries...

There's nothing we can do now, it's too late, you let them in. Who will pay to kick them out? I'm tired of the garbage they leave behind. East Indian people are not in the good books right now

I work for northern health, they only hire East indians

A reckoning is coming for the people who do not want to assimilate to our customs and norms Canadians tolerate a lot of abuse and just smile and look the other way hoping people will realize how they are acting eventually and change their behavior the people from the middle east your gonna start a civil war. I am Canadian my family been here for many generations don't think for one second this place is gonna turn into the middle east Canada was the first to invade and liberate the Netherlands from the nazis don't for a second think we won't act that way on our own soil to people who disrespect us at home during covid the government got lucky that we were peaceful what happens when you corner a wild animal people are gonna find out

Why did all the europeans colonized ,gave the language,enslaved them for over 1000 of years and took all the resources and still trying to enslave them by corrporations for their hegemony,I ask the same christian indian who is preaching here ,and why did british,french,italian,roman loot everything from asia and africa,central asia , middleast and invdade them and stolen everything put their country as junk yard and now all the west is entirely debt ridden,Why cry now,Stop bombing them and should not have done all this in first place since 100 of years ago,Migration is human thing ,no one can stop,its god instilled in human and this is how civilization expanded around the world..I understand ,i get the disgustian behaviour pattern of indians in the west especially the sanghis hindu extremist who were being exposed right ,left and center all over the world in social media..Like Faith says people migrate for economic reason,even that is not working any more,Leave the east and africa at peace ,lot of people will remigrate back home,..I say this for a fact.Stop bombimg them working with zionist jews pedophiles isralies who are root of all the problem that exist on face of the earth.,the banks they own,corporations they own,healthcare industry they own,diamond mines they own,weapons industry they own,drug and porn industry jews own..

Our kids can’t get summer jobs unless your East Indian. Way tooooo man

Every country has visa's for students-workers-tourists...CGTN The Point-Hub-Heat, Shanghai Eye, RT International, Aljazeera, TRT World, Middle East Eye..Alex Reporterfy Media

Immigration fails when we bring in too many people from cultures that don't share our values. Return them to the Middle East, return them to communist China. We also fail when we give them voting rights and all they do is vote for their home country's interests.

Get rid of those crooks East Indians GET OUT EAST INDIANS

I agree get.Get them out of here.Especially East Indians,many who r terriosts or close enough to it,Creating rasism .They have no Canadian interest other than taking over everything.We need to wake up.The free rides r over..Get out of here.

How many imingerent Live on road? Lot of people from Syria and East Europe created problem not students and others.

The fentanol shit is an alibi. He wants Canada. Why buy oil and other ressources from you if he can get it for free.\nI support Trump plan to get Canada and Greenland and disengage from the middle east. Enough suffering there, time for Canada and western Europe to be the prey.

To Americans ... please come spends your $$$ in Canada. Great places to visit from our west coast to the east coast. Feel free to ask for suggestions. ??

I'm in the middle east. My mom was Canadian born and my dad American. I support Canada. Trump is mad cuz he can't take over Canada as the 51st state. Canada has a secure border. The border crisis is BS.\n\nThe things that you import from the US, import from UK, Australia, France etc.\n\nThis is what the country I live has done. You find very few US products now. Most imports are coming in from the UK, Australia, France, Greece etc.

I have a question Canada has got the increase, Europe is next probably excluding Russia, but all these tariffs increase, is the rest of the world next, by rest of the world excluding, China which we know what the US response is. I'm talking about Australia, Japan, The Middle East , UAE, Qatar Saudi Arabia etc etc. Are we next?

Trump is a business man, not a politician, those two factors needs to align together otherwise you wouldn't make it, to be safe as a nation first you have to ensure that your neighbours hold no hate for you, trump decision effects the quality of life here in middle east, god bless those who persevere through challenges with kindness.

whats the big deal,us is known to ditch allies,they did it in middle east ,now it's to Europe and canada.....maybe its horrible now because white people are involved this time

We europeans are threatened in the east by Russia and in the west, incredibly, by the USA (in addition to the trade war with the EU, Trump just a short while ago said he will take Greenland one way or another). And we are threatened commercially by China, which is expanding dangerously in Africa.\nNow, in the face of all this, either we admit our mistakes and look forward, all together we Europeans UNITED (politically, economically and also militarily), otherwise we will be just a side dish to world history for centuries to come.\nI would add, LET US SUPPORT THE ECONOMY AND EUROPEAN COMPANIES. LET'S BUY MADE IN EUROPE, INCLUDING DIGITAL SERVICES!

Meanwhile East Indians are taking over Canada and the inflation and taxation has gone up and public healthcare is so bad people had to wait a year to see a specialist ! Wtf is this man talkin ! Canada money is down

Nice Trudeau spent billions on tightening the border for drugs and illegals. They cant even do anything with rash of car thieves going on in Toronto. Cars get stolen goes to the shipyard to be put in cargos to be sent to Middle East or Africa. They reduse to do search warrant or halt those shipments. Waste of billion of dollars on borders.

As a Canadian we should take our goods elsewhere where, build pipeline to the east and keep our oil and tell the states to pound sand

From the middle east : the US launched a war against Iraq for absolutely no reason at all (except to steal its oil) and it proceeded to lie and conjure up fantasy after fantasy of wmds. Now, the US has turned on its allies, since it sucked the literal life out of us. Good. Let's see how the US is going to start calling Canadians terrorists in a few years. I'll get my popcorn.

Your no friend the Canadian people are did they already told you they want you gone so but you have to say don't matter You don't even make vehicles and you tariff our vehicles do you need us a lot more than we need you And as far as pooling goes yes he's a dictator and not a good person but he also did want he had to do for his country since NATO kept moving east after promising not to and yet we still try to help you trade and they want to try to be tough guys like you how's that working for both of you

Mr. Tiptoe can shove it. Trump didn't start this trade war, Canada has been tariffing USA for decades. The whole world does... Starving out the one country that actually has freedom. Freedom to kick out government when it becomes corrupt and against the people. The western side of Canada is more than welcome to stop subsidizing the east, and pay like half the taxes. Instead of stars we will throw a couple maple leafs on it and call it a day.... In the interest of international security.

Dear Canada. We the people the good citizens of these divided states do not condone what trump is putting your country and the rest of the world through! More than 80% of us hate trump and his evil lawless deeds! We are no longer free here! We are under the thumbs of an evil dictator and his panzy the riches man in the world! They are destroying this country bit by bit and quickly! They and the republicans in congress have sided with them! I’m am saddened that you great friends and all citizens are no facing his dictatorship follies! trump is not American! He never has been! Musk worked his magic with skylink and stole the votes from the democrats! Erased millions of our votes east as pie! I respect mr trudou and we hear his plea! His sorrow and I hope he and all who read this in Canada realize that the hood American here never wanted this but we can’t stop him with the way he and our judicial system is erasing our constitution! It’s eroding daily as if it never existed!! We are truly sorry for the pain he’s putting you through! Know that the 80 percent of Americans still stand with Canada Mexico Ukraine the EU and the rest of the world he’s punishing ?

Sounds like a little boy crying for his mother.., seriously. Strategist and see how you can get your nation out from this. See how China did it. They have long diversified since Trump 1.0 into ASEAN countries, and ASIA, especially the mid east and Africa.

I pray Canada, Mexico, Europe, South America, Africa, the Middle East and Asia can find ways to work together and strengthen each others economies and other developments.

When i was younger i traveled the USA from the middle to east coast at least 20 states and had some great times. I could never live in the USA do to difference way of life. I have seen homes in Southern states that still have outhouses. My 1st time witnessing racism was in the Southern states and was shocked. Have not been back to the USA since Trump became President 1st time and now probably never will because of the politics. Glad I did then many good memories

Unfortunately he is lying as per usual. The fent is coming from china into Canada though our east coast and then down across the boarder. The fact is it’s twice as expense right over the border from Canada. Wonder why that is? Maybe it’s because it’s another border that had to be crossed.

You’re making a big mistake. Let is unite in brotherhood! EAST Alaska #51???MAGA!!

Looks like America will have more Anti American sentiments not just from the Middle East. watch out America, Trump is working for Putin and he will tear your country apart. MAGA supporters don’t have that level of intelligence to comprehend what’s about to happen.

So it's ok that white European Immigrants from Ireland, France, Italy, UK and East Europeans want to close the door behind them. Cheeky isn't it?

I agreed with everything Trudeau said, except when he said Trump is a very smart person. Stupid is what stupid does. Trump does stupid like no other. This is Canada's time to shine. We need our pipelines flowing to both the East and West coasts. It is time for Canadians to invest in Canada and cut our dependence on U.S. trade.\nAmericans need to start understanding, it is Americans who pay the tariffs. They are just a tax. It has nothing to do with the border, or drugs, or migration. This is a tax on the working class and the poor so the rich can continue to get 5 TRILLION dollars in tax cuts.

Born in Europe, brought up and trained into my profession as a researcher, in France, in the UK, in the Middle East, in Africa, and having been a permanent resident of the USA for almost 25 years, I can state that I agree 100 with what Trudeau stated, with the exception of one little detail If Donald Trump is as Mr. Trudeau suggests, an intelligent man, than he is simply detesting all Americans... and if is able to prove me wrong than one has to accept that Mr. Trudeau is wrong in believing Mr Trump to be an intelligent man, because even a ten-year-old is understanding that this tariff war is truly stupid and will not only damage the economy but will further deplete the coffers of businesses that are essential to world growth.
