I would respectfully point out that in my opinion the problem is that too many immigrants from one particular culture (in this case, Indians, but it's also the Chinese,) have been allowed in to settle almost entirely in one particular area of a city. In Ontario it's Brampton. In B.C. (where I live) it's Surrey. This stretches Canada's resources, having classrooms almost full of Indian kids who are learning English as a second language. For years we've had to put up with young Indian males street racing in their expensive cars on our cities late at night... to their mothers they are 'princes,' and they act like it and believe they can do exactly as they like. Then there's the issue of how many of their extended family members are also allowed in - resulting in way too many elderly Indians who don't speak a word of English and probably never will, so we have to provide translation services for them in our hospitals and govt. offices. The other issue I have a problem with is there's a tendency with Indians to 'skirt the rules.' There have been a few significant accidents on our highways caused by young Indian male drivers operating huge rigs which they are ill-equipped to drive, which seems to indicate they got their licences fraudulently. There's also been an increase in so-called 'honour killings' (e.g. MURDER!) as well as young girls being subjected to FGM (Female Genital Mutilation.) As an immigrant myself, born and raised in the UK, I'm used to living among Indians, and in fact have always really liked them (and especially their food, which definitely improved the British restaurant scene!) but it's time to limit the numbers. Thanks for your thoughtful video!

There's enough blame to go around. Mass immigration to countries that simply aren't prepared to take in all of these people is the problem, and the policies of the current Canadian Government, for the record, I'm not Canadian so I'm basically just putting an idea out there, it's seems to be a recurring problem in other countries around the world, so this is going to continue until things change, not just in Canada, but around the world...Good Luck!

The only thing I would say cause you seem to be very young. Is that brampton actually in the 70's and to early 2000's used to be mostly a white and black community and then other cultures. I am born in Toronto I have a cousin born in Toronto who currently lives in brampton she owns a house in brampton for about 25 years. And is going through a lot mentally with the slamming. We got of people from India mostly in the last 2 years, but it's been going on slowly over 10 years and she's not doing well with the overwhelment of Indians and we're of black Jamaican heritage. So just so you know, brampton used to actually be white and then black was actually the second largest population and everybody else was after that. And then in the last 10 years they started coming but it wasn't in hundreds of thousands and then in the last 2 years it blew up insanely. As that man described is like an invasion. I now live on the West Coast of Canada and the same thing has happened here. And it's been a lot for me Canadian born. I've always grew up with every culture. I've lived and worked around the Indians that used to come here were literally not even on the radar. I mean you see them, but you just they just blended in because most of them had assimilated and were doing their lives. The breed that has come over specifically in the last 2 years is what is making it even worse cause if they acted like the ones who came before 10 -20 -30 years ago. They probably wouldn't stand out, but then again when you bring in almost a million, into all of Canada, they would stand out, but maybe people wouldn't be so agitated, if they had tried to assimilate and be respectful to the other cultures here and that is the number one complaint I hear anytime, I see interviews. Is people saying they don't assimilate? They're very rude to anybody who is not them. They are just interacting with the environment. The way they do at home, Canadians are more quiet and try to be respectful of other cultures. We like to just have their own space and our own peace when they're moving throughout this space and a lot of people describe the energy of the Indians coming in almost evasive into your space and then not really carrying anything about invading ur space. They act like, so what's the big deal if I'm in your space and that has been the number one issue is just the rudeness. Not assimilating and imposing their culture, speaking their language, not attempting to integrate with other cultures showing actually a lot of racism to some of the other cultures. And that has been the biggest problem. So just so you know, cause I can tell you're young. I'm North 40 years old and I can tell you. The demographic change has been so intense everywhere in Canada especially in the last 2 years. That I have even seen podcast with Indian people who have been here 10 -20-30 years, saying the government needs to figure out a way and get a good swath of these people gone because they are. Staining them with a negative brush. Cause I can tell you. It's only in the last 5 years. That I notice Indians. I've grown up around every culture. And I just don't notice individual cultures in that way. Until in 2022, Trudeau took the guard railsl off the foreign worker program and the student Visa working program. And just said Hey, anybody want to come bum rush the door now? And India is known for having middlemen in India that work with Fake Diploma Mills scholls with brampton having over 80 of them that the middlemen work scamming Indians by telling them if they pay anywhere from $5000 all the way up to $50,000 even higher to get fake school acceptance letters, so they can come here to get the word permit and work full-time or with companies that provide fake LMIA job offers on the black market, which is illegal under the I.R.C.C, but that is a thing that they had prior to 2022. And when Trudeau took the guards rails off when it comes the requirements and basically. Made it a free-for-all and as India already had the scamming infrastructure in place that kept their population moderate and it just allowed th scammers to go nuts, so that's why we got mostly Indians. Other cultures do it too, but it's so tiny. It's not noticeable. The Indians already had the infrastructure in place that when they took off the guard rails, it was easy for them to switch and start selling these opportunities to go to these fake schools was over 80 of them in brampton t such a lightening speed. Hence why we got slammed so hard-and-fast with that specific community.That just really we're coming here to work and send money home and that is also why a lot of our banks are now struggling with cash reserved because they're sending money home. So just thought I'd give you that angle. I understand you're doing it from your culture's perspective mostly but you're missing a whole bunch of information. So I thought I'd fill you in actually, brampton used to be a white and black city for a long time, and recent flooded in the last 2 and why it happened from that community so quickly in 2022

20 years ago when I came to CA. \nCA was paradise if anyone faced problems or emergency there was help \nNow people dying here there is no help at all ?\n\nHousing crisis, everything crisis \nI’m homeless with my two Sons is very disappointing \nI lost my home due to everything is out of control, it seems the country has no leader ?mortgage increased significantly from 2% to 7 % ?I couldn’t afford to pay my mortgage lost my home \nthis put me and my family into too much stress \nwhat the heck is going on

I'm from Russia but live in Australia. We have the same problems but at least it's warm and sunny. There is no way I'd want to ever live in Canada.

Not so acurate information. During the college time students can work only 20h/week. Unless it has changed. \n\nAlso, it’s IMPOSSIBLE to get permanent residency before graduation because you need Canadian experience (full time) for at least 1 year in specialized areas. \n\nOnly if you successfully complete your program you get the full time work visa per 3y. In this time it’s going to be possible TO APPLY for permanent residence. \n\nBut not only that. Canadian experience give you extra points in the immigration program, but also a Bachelor’s degree, or a master degree, work experience in your back country, English level, and age. \n\nI don’t know for certain countries if the rules are different, but as long as I know, it’s the same for everybody. \n\nWhen I came as an international student, I had to prove the college was paid, also show I had enough money to support myself for 1y without work. Also, the program at college that costs $4000/semester for a Canadian student, it costs $8-10.000 for an international student. \n\nMy work visa (during college) allowed me 20h per week working only. \n\nTo get my study visa approved I had to show intermediate English, money, work experience, Bachelor’s degree (I have also a master’s), and explain why I wanted to study in Canada and why that program was related to my current career. \n\nTalking about jobs; I have worked as a housekeeper in a hospital (on weekends). After I graduated I became supervisor. \n\nSome people complain about students and immigrants getting the jobs, but what I’ve seen was a lot of people complaining EVERY DAY about their jobs, about their lives, etc…but doing absolutely nothing to change it.\n\nI got here as a student, I became immigrant, I worked as a cleaner, I graduated at college.after 2y working full time I got the permanent residence, and I was back to school. \nI got a Master’s degree at McMaster University, and now I am a manager in a big hospital. \nImmigrants taking the jobs??? I don’t believe so. I did to deserve it. \n\nSo, don’t put everybody on the same basket. There are bad people I know, but also there are people willing to grow and make the country grow as well. \n\nLast, but not least, I don’t think the COUNTRY has more people that they can handle. I think the big cities have. Government should look into that. Everybody wants to come to Vancouver, Toronto and Calgary. It’s a big problem. \n\nToday I’m a Canadian Citizen, I respect the laws, I respect people, I respect the life in society, and I do not look to impose my culture in here, I’m proud to live here and I want this country to grow even more.

Indians aren’t the only problem. A Ukrainian family of 2 adults 2 children was receiving $9000 from the Canadian government in assistance . Meanwhile, If a Canadian owes $10 in taxes, the government is coming after you and will charge you interest. The entire immigration/ student , work visa , refugee program needs to be reviewed. Changes need to be made with quotas drastically reduced.. Laws need updating. I’m not saying we don’t help people escaping drastic situations, but we can’t be a free for all society. Don’t forget that Canadians don’t want to have children anymore. So without immigration, canadas population will eventually fall to zero. Canada is a relatively empty country. If our governments were smart we could have the largest housing construction and business development program in the history of the world. There is no shortage of land in Canada, but we aren’t building houses because of incompetent politicians . Immigration creates jobs by increasing aggregate demand, but the country cannot absorb this many in such a short time.

Well I can't speak for other provinces \nBut pertaining to Schools particularly Edmonton specific school here are some Issues\n- The parents play can't speak English!!!\n( thought immigrants had to speak some form)\n- What about Indian families registering there kids when they don't live in area of registration\n- Having there kids fr Grade 1 to Grade 6 start school to only Pull them out because there going back to visit there country\n( Un Announced )..\nHow does that kid or kids get Education. \n- Very All over map as patents responsibility, late pick ups, living in crammed houses, from some Indian Slum Lord like what's Happening in Brampton that CBC news don't want yiu to hear !!!.\n- Most parents of Indian are VERY RUDE,\n( Youre in Our Country Not India, old saying is Kids raised as parents are, so right there is no need to have them hear).\n- They can't pay school fee's even though they somehow drive above Average $$ vehicles.\nIn my mind\nShut Down All Immigration, we can't take Anymorevinto Canada we are Overwhelmed!!!.\n- Let's talk about Idia Truckers Lol\nThat's a whole new Topic\nGet Rid Of Them \nShut there Trucking Buisness Down 100%.\nI've personally seen to semi trucks parked inline near 156\nAs I'm driving by the Owner Operators move to side as if talking Only to see # 2 Big Oil Patches under there Engines\nBecause this Dirty People Drop there Engine oil on Pavement!!!!\nSome are probably good\nBut Most should not be here, that goes with Other Ethnics also\nThey All Do Not Respect this Country \nLooks whats happening in UK\nJust Search\nUK immigrant Problems\nEspecially with\nPeople fr Middle East

Nu am fost la Rusia, să fac Studii, sau să muncesc. Am fost în ospeție, la sora mamei mele, la Rostov-pe-Don. Pe vremea aceea, trăiau foarte greu. Lucrau, unde găseau de lucru. Erau atât de săraci, încât le venea mai ușor să deie mânile în jos, decât să mai facă ceva în viața lor. Nu mi-a fost milă de ei niciodată, deoarece, aceasta este o familie cu 4 copii, trei băieți, o fată, mama lor Lucia și tatăl lor Stepan Zaharia. Toți au mâni, picioare, cap și trebuiau să muncească foarte mult, dacă își doreau să trăiască bine, să aibă toate cele necesare pentru viață. Lucia Zaharia este o vită grasă, proastă, descreierată, destrabalată, care nu a iubit să muncească și eu dau departe de mine, așa fel de oameni nesimțiți. Feciorul cel mai mic, al lor, Ștefan Zaharia, a fost mereu mai aproape de sufletul meu, deoarece are capacități bogate și este foarte descurcăreț, dar deoarece frații mamei mele erau mereu contra mea, este clar că copiii lor, la fel, erau mereu contra mea. Am știut asta întotdeauna.\nÎntr-o zi, am luat decizia, să merg la ei în ospeție, să văd cum trăiesc, unde muncesc, cum s-au aranjat cu traiul la Rostov-pe-Don, Rusia, departe de casa pe care o aveau la Rîşcani, Republica Moldova, în care astăzi trăiește fratele ei, Nicolae Rotaru și soția acestuia.\nAm mers împreună cu Ștefan, am fost acasă la ei, am fost peste tot, pe unde erau urmele lor. Am discutat cu oamenii și am înțeles, că ei sunt săraci, pentru că nu vor să muncească. \nȘtefan, își găsea de lucru mai ușor decât toți, dar foarte mult rău i-au făcut în viață frații mamei mele Victor Rotari și Nicolae Rotaru. Acești doi draci, au făcut fapte rele, contra la toate rudele, întotdeauna, fără încetare. \nDe când eram în clasa întâi, am urmărit mereu, cum acești doi draci, făceau fapte rele, contra tuturor rudelor. Când Ștefan învăța la Școală, în orașul Rîşcani, Republica Moldova, acești doi draci, îl băteau destul de des, pentru că el fugea de acasă și pleca la fotbal. Îi plăcea să joace fotbal, dar nu îi dădeau voie să meargă la fotbal. Îi spuneau să steie acasă. Dacă fugea la fotbal, primea bătaie de la mama lui, de la tatăl lui și de la frații mamei lui, Victor Rotari și Nicolae Rotaru. Lucia, le permitea să-l bată pe Ștefan. Îi loveau și pe ceilalți doi băieți, dar pe Ștefan chiar îl băteau cu curmeiul, cu hlanțugul, cu bețe groase, de nu se putea ridica de la pământ. \nȘtefan Zaharia, este mai mic decât mine. Eu, îl ajutam la lecții, pentru că el era capabil, dar asta îi scotea din minți pe Victor și pe Nicolae. Ei, făceau tot posibilul, ca copiii Luciei, să nu învețe bine la Școală, dar și mie îmi puneau bețe în roate la Școală, cu ajutorul unor învățători, cu care se știau ei. \nUra dintre Lucia, Victor, Nicolae și Alexandra (mama mea), se trăgea încă din copilăria lor. Când s-au căsătorit toți, își făceau rău unii la alții. Au făcut fapte rele unii contra la alții toată viața lor. Au făcut ură mare între noi, copiii, cât au putut ei de mult. Noi, copiii, nu ne sfădeam unii cu alții, dar ura între noi, era foarte mare, chiar și așa, eram prietenoși.\nFamilia Zaharia, s-au mutat cu traiul la Rostov-pe-Don, Rusia, când băieții erau mari, în puteri să muncească singuri. Fata era mică, dar băieții erau mari.\nExcursia mea, la Rostov-pe-Don, mi-a deschis ochii foarte mult. Am înțeles, cum sunt ei, unde lucrează, cu ce se ocupă, de ce mă urăsc, de ce fac fapte rele contra mea, dacă eu, aproape că nu aveam nici o legătură cu ei. Aveau ură pe mine, pentru că eram capabilă, norocoasă, optimistă, curajoasă, descurcăreață și încă aveau ură pe mine, pentru că aveau ură pe mama mea. Își împrumutau bani unii la alții, printre care era și mama mea, și nu își dădeau datoriile înapoi. Când m-am căsătorit, cereau bani de la mine, dar eu nu i-am primit în viața mea, nici într-un fel și nu le-am dat nici un ban. Când soțul meu, Oleg Carazan, a lucrat la Rusia, mergea la ei în ospeție și le dădea ceva bani de cheltuială, din dorința lui.\nȘtefan, era mai aproape de sufletul meu. El, este unicul verișor, de pe linia mamei mele, pe care l-am ajutat cu bani, cu sfaturi, cu primirea călduroasă în casa mea, dar oricum, era contra mea, în rând cu toți frații mamei mele, în rând cu toți copiii lor. Eu, înțelegeam, dar niciodată nu l-am dat la o parte. A venit cu totul în Republica Moldova și s-a căsătorit. Ne-a rugat să fim Nanașii lor și i-am cununat. Au făcut o Nuntă mică, dar frumoasă. Victor Rotari și Nicolae Rotaru, nu au fost la Nuntă, dar au încercat să-i facă neplăceri la Nuntă, cu ajutorul copiilor lor, care erau la Nuntă, dar nu au reușit. Au avut o Nuntă veselă. Peste câțiva ani, s-au despărțit. Mai mult ca precis, că tot Victor Rotari și Nicolae Rotaru, i-au despărțit, cu minciuni, istorii urâte, fapte rele, mizerii mari, de care numai ei știu să facă. Acești doi draci, au fost draci toată viața lor și toată viața lor, au făcut fapte rele, contra tuturor rudelor.\nCând am fost la Rostov-pe-Don, am fost cu Ștefan la câteva Companii, unde se aduna fierul (металлолом). Ștefan, se ocupa uneori cu fierul, aduna, ducea, primea banii. Am văzut cum se face aceasta și îmi era de ajuns, ceea ce am văzut. Am mers cu Ștefan și cu sora lui, în oraș. Am văzut cum se adună oamenii la distracții, la plimbare, la discuții. Am văzut rușii de la Rostov-pe-Don și îmi era clar că au libertate, vorbesc unii cu alții, cum vorbesc oamenii în Republica Moldova, erau liniștiți, veseli, așa cum trebuie să fie între oameni. Erau îmbrăcați ca oamenii, cam tot așa, cum se îmbrăcau oamenii în Republica Moldova. \nAm fost într-o zonă, unde totul era ținut sub controlul răchetului, bandiților, criminalilor. Era vorba, că acolo lucrau moldoveni și nu li se dădeau banii și era vorba că tot acolo era fratele mai mare a lui Ștefan. Se auzea, că munceau, le dădeau bani de drum și îi alungau. Nu se achitau cu ei, pentru lucrul pe care l-au făcut. Am vrut să văd așa fel de moldoveni, dar nu am văzut. \nÎn zona aceea, era un grup de bandiți. Nu le-a plăcut, că noi doi, mergeam pe acolo și au căutat explicații. Ștefan, mai nu s-a bătut cu ei. Cumva, cu vorbe normale, ne-am înțeles în vorbă cu bandiții aceia. Ne-am despărțit fără bătăi, fără conflicte. Pe unde am mai mers, nu am avut probleme. Am văzut oameni diferiți și îmi făcusem impresia, că am văzut jumătate de Rusia. Mă interesa cel mai mult familia lui Ștefan, adică familia lor, cu mama, tata și cu frații lui. Am aflat tot ce mi-a trebuit să știu. Nici astăzi, nu țin legătura cu acești oameni. Din familia lor, Ștefan Zaharia este unicul, cu care am ținut legătura mereu, dar nu avem obiceiul să ne sunăm des, sau să ne scriem mesaje. Când avem ceva de rezolvat împreună, atunci ne scriem mesaje. Îmi pare normal, cu atât mai mult, că eu, nu sun rudele la telefon și nu prea le scriu mesaje. Rar de tot, foarte rar.\nExcursia mea la Rostov-pe-Don, a fost una reușită. Știu ce știu și îmi pare bine, că știu totul.\nSă fie sănătoși toți, dar să trăim departe unii de alții, pentru că așa este corect și adevărat, pentru toate rudele, de pe linia mamei mele.\n(04 septembrie 2024)\nSilvia Carazan (Deleu)

I am so thankful I have Greek and Macedonian citizenship. As soon as I'm done with my education, I'm moving back to Greece or Macedonia, somewhere there are hardly any Indians. I literally get lucky to see 4-5 white, black, or latinos a day in my city, the rest are all Indian, Pakistani, and Arabs. I don't feel like I'm living in Canada anymore, I feel like I'm living in the Middle-East. I only have 2 more years of university and then if I don't go to Greece or Macedonia, it'll be because there's too many Middle-Easterners there too, and I will go someplace like Korea or Vietnam, where there are practically no Middle-Eastern people. Sorry, but you're right about them being rude, and they act like they're entitled to everything. It's disgusting and I've had enough. The problem will only get worse even if we shutdown immigration, because there are so many here already, and they don't have kids, they have litters of 5-10 children per family. Soon the whole country will just be Middle-Eastern, just give it a few decades. If you can get out of Canada and go someplace else, I suggest you do now, before it's too late.

You know I'm not far right or left, but I think if people would stop,presenting the agrument around economic and just explain and be honest that the problem is about shared cultural values. You don't need immigrants to make your country stronger; you need people who share your values and cultural outlooks for that.

I’m an Indian and not a major fan of Trudeau however, I like this move. This will let the Govt of India know OPEN their Eyes ? and know that DRASTIC changes and policies needs to be implemented in their own country to crack down on the ongoing unemployment problems and the shortfalls of its own administration. \nSo for that, kudos to Trudeau ????

I worked in a retail store with where Indians shopped regularly. They were the very rude to the sales helps. They talked down to us and they were the worst thieves the store has ever seen. Our regular customers started going else ware because of this problem. I'm afraid Canada is no longer a great, desirable country because we have aloud it to be taken over by the east indians. It is the governments fault but is is also the fault of the indians because they have not adapted to the Canadian way of life. They want us to adapt to their way of life. Please close the doors to any further indian immigrants or students . Go back to India if you don't like what Canada wont do for you.. I am a senior citizen and it makes me sick to see what you people have done to my country.

I’m praying for the aliens to arrive so we can all bond over a common nemesis, where our differences are irrelevant to the problem at hand.

I'm 52 years old and a Canadian citizen my whole life. Canada has always been a welcoming country. I have friends from every part of the world here in Canada. But in the couple years there has been a brutal influx of Indians in Canada. My build alone had maybe 3 Indian households. Now more than 60% of the building is indians. And the problem is 6 to 8 people living in a 2 bedroom apartment. We use to have 1 garbage bin in the basement. Now we have 3 and they are over flowing and they leave garbage everywhere( I've watched them do it). Not everyone has house keys so they leave the security door open all hours of the day allowing criminals to get into the building. They have shit in the laundry room and the garage(I have seen this happen). They smoke in the building halls and lobby. They Dont use laundry detergent when washing their clothes so the laundry machines stink really bad. I have to was the laundry machine before even putting my clothes in.Also they have taken every job in the business in my neighborhood. They aren't very friendly. They come into my restaurant and act like entitled brats and hang out for 6 to 7 hours in groups of 20 and don't tip. They're loud and demanding. Now our regular client's have stopped coming. Since these new Indians have come here they have tainted everything. I have never been a racist individual in my whole life. My family is very diverse. We are white, black, packistan, and Asian. In the last 3 years I am so disgusted in the quality of people that have been coming to this country. The biggest group is Indians. I'm sorry but be don't need any more of these assholes. We have enough of our own assholes

i feel like i’m living in India. Why one ethnicity should dominate the whole country!? i’m glad with this decision. I’m not against Indians but this is just creating whole lot of problems.

The only reason for me to choose Germany is ability to get residence permission in 3 or 5 years and keep original citizenship (I need 5 because I'm pretty sure I will not get C1 for 3 years). In terms of salary (I'm working in IT and have a 18+ years experience) I'd loose about 20% comparing to my original country, but living cost here +100% ))\nSo, we spent with my wife about 18k euros of our savings per year and started everything from scratch - it is hard but possible.\nHope I'll increase my salary later and we will not spend a lot on furnitures, appliences etc.\n+1 benefit: cycling all year round - almost no snow - Perfect!\nI didn't have problems with language in Dusseldorf - 90% speaks english, 10% or even more - russian (shops, banks, tax centers, burgerburo - no problems)

I came to Canada 18 years ago from South Asia and work really hard to be in a position where I’m now. I’m not opposed to the immigrant anyway but why almost all the immigrants will come from a particular region? I don’t even recognize this country anymore. Canadian morales are down. So many people came so fast instead of learning Canadian value they are imposing south asian problem in Canadian society. People in South Asia laugh at Canada, and called Canadian govt cute and innocent cause they believe what every temp/student put their application and blindly bring them in Canada. I know thousands of ppl came to Canada by tourist visa and then stay in Canada. Govt even giving them monthly allowance. And I’m paying thousands of dollars in tax. Basically I’m in the same level of a person who do not pay tax but enjoy all the luxury in Canada. It’s a fault of This govt.

I'm Indian, been in Canada for over 40 yrs and I think they let in too many immigrants which caused problems with housing/rents and the job market...it was a terrible and nearly irreversible mistake. It's ruined Canada...fortunately most Indians are ok, but still too many newcomers here.

I grew up in Canada and I'm white. When I went to high school everyone who I met grew up in the country so it was very easy to socialize and make friends. When I went to college it was a very big culture shock because everyone traveled to Canada from another country mostly India, Korea, China and the Philippines. Most indians/immigrants ive interacted with are insanely smart people. In high school all the native Canadians were a lot less intelligent vaping is a huge issue but everyone was highly social so I was able to fit in easily even though im a pretty unlikeable person. The problem is that in college I couldn't really make any friends because of the cultural differences and since native Canadians are very rare where I was studying the culture was also kinda different. So it kinda makes me feel like im an alien in my own country. But honestly everyone kept to them selves a lot more. There are a bunch of other factors like people hyper focusing on studying but I wish people would just socialize more instead of just doing their own thing.\n\nI still remember back in high school when people used to know about everything that happened if there was something that happened everyone would know about it because everyone would talk about it there were group chats with tons of people in it where people would organize things or share memes. I think people should take inspiration from this and probobly do this more often but now its honestly just very lonely.

So I understand why Canadians feel they way they do. Especially the ones born and raised here. I'm 31, was born here, and I often feel the same way everyone else does. The only problem that I see is that the issues that are in Canada are also in every other Western country. I'm concerned with the future, but I also know that throughout every generation, there are ups and downs. I'm willing to stick it out. I live outside of Toronto,I love the lack of natural disasters and access to water, and I still feel very safe. Although crime is up, it is nothing compared to the U.S. \n\nI'm actually living quite comfortably. Although my costs have gone up, I have made smart decisions in my life that allow me to live well. I own my own house, don't have car or credit card debt, and I only need to earn 40k a year to cover all of my bills. Every cent extra I earn goes to paying down my mortgage, gym, and golf once a week. \n\nThe question is, is it better l elsewhere? I don't know, but I am trying to be happy with what I have instead of what I could have had by being born 30 years too late. Ultimately, I would rather stay here work within the system to change it and continue to make smart decisions that put me ahead. Starting out all over again makes my stomach sick, and I love this country, despite it's flaws and its government, it has great people and beautiful nature. \n\nBest wishes to all of you other Canadians, and let's make it the Canada we want and deserve again.

I m EU resident.. went couple of time Germany.. ( once got fine because didn’t carry passport/ residency card didn’t expect!)totally disappointed of everything except food quality…they need workers but under their skin they actually quite dislike foreign workers… bureaucracy.. not easy to get any housing.. not only Germany almost every European country wants u to speak their or prefer their language..( and those languages are best known hardest language of the world).. the main problem is government decisions and local need most of the time not fit together..

If you think you have it bad in Canada. Here in the US is much worse. No future, extremely expensive anywhere you live, no quality of life, hospitals that can bankrupt you even if you have insurance and REAL crime. I’m sorry, I get that Canada has its problems but nothing compared to its southern neighbors.

I was born in Canada but my parents came here a while back for a better life almost 25 yrs ago. They immigrated legally, my father was very educated in his field of engineering but redid his education here. Am I apart of this problem? I feel as Canada is my home and I have adopted a lot of the customs, but if I’m disrupting the flow of how the medical system works because of my foreign blood then I might consider finding another country that is already preset for someone like me.

Employers are misrepresenting wages on documents for LMIA-based jobs, showing higher wages but paying lower amounts in reality. How can the government address this issue? Visitors are working for cash, further disrupting the system. I’m concerned whether the government has the resources to fix these problems.

How about zero? Like what is he thinking ? Calgary has around 10% unemployment , they say it’s lower like 6 or 8% . When it’s that high then it should be zero. Also why not just shut the border down for 5 years ? I’m not against imagination but too much too fast for too long is causing big problems. Plus stop wasting tax payer dollars and giving it away.. It’s time to get the budget in line before we do anything else. That should be Canadas priority. Not just taxing more and more and more.

Problems in Canada: too much immigration & not enough cheap housing. Cause: bankers & lawyers/liars - almost all politicians are greedy lawyers. And their house owning friends. I'm not just saying that because I live in my car in effing Toronto.

The Canadians have no idea about over crowding of immigrants. Come to Europe and open your eyes to the problems here. The EU which is only slightly larger than Canada (9.9m sq km vs 10.1m sq km) but has had over 30 million immigrants since the 1980s. Canada is a vast empty country compared to any EU Country, there is loads of land there to build new homes, but they don't for some unknown reason.

I'm not hearing any of the pro-immigration people talk about the housing problem the current population faces.

I feel seen and heard after watching this video. Honestly, now I just want to move to the Netherlands ?\n What bothers me the most the lack of incentive to learn the language and the simultaneous judgement from people when you don't know the language. I'm disappointed by all those other problems that were pointed out but the language barrier is the biggest hurdle for me. I work for a multinational company, which means English is the language of choice there, and learning German means dedicating a lot of extra time to it, which I don't always have. \n\nExpats are expected to insert themselves in the culture, not be welcomed into it. And it's not just learning German, it's also not forgetting what you learned. You need to make extra effort to keep yourself in contact with the language and that is a bit tough as well. Do I watch Stromberg or The Office?

Our politics suck. That means both Trudeau *and* mini-Trump Poilievre. The housing issue and overburdening of housing/healthcare/etc. by too many immigrants in such as short period of time is something I'm not hearing being seriously addressed by both Libs and Cons. Politicians can talk about programs to build more homes (too little, too late) and such but they aren't addressing some key sources of the problems. One could have a decent life in Canada in upper-lower class to lower-middle class but now the starting point is upper-middle class. Quite sad.

Homelessness is mostly a drug problem, not immigration problem, I work with people trying to stop substance abuse, and I know whaI'm saying

They are creating problems by themselves, I’m a German left country because low wages. Why they don’t build their own people. Sad to say very soon Germany loosing their own citizens ❤?

The problem is m*slims believe they are entitled to control the planet. The problem is Isl*m. Meanwhile m*slim countries reject m*slim migrants. \nI can't believe Isl*m is a religion.

Don't listen. I'm from Poland, in Germany only Brandenburg accept our university degree. We are in same European union. As a result I'm working for Dutch company, they don't have problems. Germany wants from me to do under skill job for 9 euros.

Wow Alina, so many complaints about Canada that I don't know where to begin. Let me just say this. The grass is not always greener on the other lawn as it appears to be from afar. I do hope you can find your paradise but the wisdom of life (I'm 67) tells me that you'll likely be trading one set of problems of another equally annoying set. Good luck!

I'm certain nobody will agree with me - but why is part of the problem in the west; people get their reality from the MSM - but if I were you I would go back to Russia. The East is the future; the west is heading straight off a cliff. The only way IMO that you can be reasonably safe from that anywhere in the west is if you are completely self sufficient - and debt free - living MILES from other people - or in a likeminded community - where you are prepared to defend yourself from whats coming. I am in such a situation in NZ and even I am ready to bolt; in my case either to a small south pacific island or maybe Thailand - who are joining BRICS and therefore completely isolated from the impending western economic/social disaster. Being in Russia of course means the whole of Asia is easily open to you as well - but makes sense also because you have a history there. I would love to live in Russia - it is now normal - the people HAVE A SAY in everything - compared to the abnormal west which is now the new Soviet Union. Sad but undenyable - if you face facts.

Can't speak to the situation regarding immigrants. However, NO Canadian that I know wants to emigrate.\n\nHigh taxes.....all relative. Social programs are a safety net and save from having to pay out of pocket (security and peace of mind are worth their weight in gold).\n\nThe problem with your FB posts was caused by FB itself. It is so greedy that it doesn't want to share any of the revenue it generates by siphoning news from other sources. It is simply a leach, a parasite.\n\nDrugs and homelessness.......true. Since COVID-19 there has has been an epidemic. However, it is not limited to Canads; other countries are experiencing the same phenomena.\n\nCost of housing.......also not limited to Canada.\n\nImmigrants.....it is extremely difficult to uproot from one's native country and quickly integrate into another, no matter the country. It generally takes years to acclimatize. And often, you've left your heart behind.\n\nSalaries....been to Singapore. Salaries may be higher but the cost of everything is also much, much higher.\n\nAnd moving to the USA......guns, health care, social safety nets, politics?\n\nNo matter where you live, it has its challenges. So I'm pretty content.living in Canada. Of couse we need to continually focus on the.lot of ALL Canadians.

Yeah, I'm gonna party every night, sit at home whole day drinking beer and blame hardworking immigrants for my problems ?

My family immigrated here in the 1950s out of war torn Europe for a better life. Things have changed so much since I was a kid in the 80s and 90s. Toronto was a safe city with a good vibe. Things were reasonably affordable. Trudeau didn't start a lot of the problems, but he massively accelerated them. Government is openly hostile to basically anyone who was born here. They sold out the country to wealthy foreigners. I make a decent income but I still can't afford a house. Taxes are killing me. My doctor is horrible, but I can't find a new one. Civil liberties went right out the window. The people are cold and sullen. Crime is getting bad. Life just feels like it gets a little worse every year. I've been mulling it over for a long time, but might finally be time to head south. There's got to be something better than this, because I'm getting older and life now just feels like going through the motions.

All I can say is don't let the door hit you on the way out. All I hear is people like yourself who are VERY privileged complain about first world problems. And yes I'm a blue collar worker with a regular job and live in the most expensive city being Vancouver. You're not going to find a better place to live.

The problem is: “The government you elect is the government you deserve.” - Thomas Jefferson\n\nI'm saying that Canadians chose the mess this country is now in. The government is awful, yes, but it's not like that is the only reason Canada is in decline. Canadians have to look in the mirror to see the problem. You can't have everything for free or expect someone else to make sacrifices.

I applaud what you are doing. At 80 years old I recently drove 2100 miles to get a better rent price. It was a weeklong trip. I hope I can still to this in the future. Because my soul is still hungry and my wallet is still empty most of the time because of the same problem in the USA as you have experienced in Canada. I don't follow everything you post, but I'm still a loyal fan. Wax on, мій друг.

Australia, it has to be Australia, great weather at least, and I'm single if you have any visa or citizenship problems.

I'm betting that it's an Asian country .\n\nWhoever cracks the nut on hardcore drug and alcohol abuse and addiction will be able to write their own ticket .. Just low cost affordable housing won't cut it .\nYou can give a house to a junkie and that's not going fix their problems or their families .

I know Canada has lots of problems I’m a third generation Ukrainian Canadian and I have travelled to many countries around the world and this country will always be home. I also am proud to have a Canadian passport lets me travel the world and how so many people all over the world love Canadians. We are well respected all over the world ??

Hi Alina, I'm a student who moved here for higher education in Canada from Srilanka.I'm a fan who watch your videos intrestly.I agree, what you are saying. So far as an international student i have observed many things in Canada. There are pros and cons in my experience. However, Canada is a great place to live and I hope all the negativity happens in Canada right now will solve very soon and hope most of these problems will solve very soon.

For me i don't think Canada is really bad at all i know everything is becoming expensive but not everything yes the house is expensive but for me right now i am already retired I'm 66 years old my house i already paid off i live in milton just outside of Toronto the only problem is my two sons but both of my son have a good job my oldest son he worked as computer software developer and my youngest son he worked as computer data in downtown Toronto now my plan i want to go back to my birth country Cambodia for my retirement from November to March April I come back to Canada to see my childrens and grandchildrens this is just plan but remember Canada still the best country to live compare to some other countries good luck to you Alina . Take care bye from milton Ontario Canada ??

It's all fine and well that you want to leave Canada but where will you go that's any better? After all it is your choice. The problems we see happening around the world are a global problem. There are at least 2 major wars going on. Inflation is rampant in most countries in the world and we ARE heading for a global economic depression that will dwarf anything that we've seen in the 1930's. Speaking for myself my roots are here in Canada which is not the Canada I grew up in anymore. Sadly. Used to be a really great place to live until Trudeau and his band of thieves ruined it. I may as well make my last stand here. If I was going to move where would I go. The EU? Absolutely not! They're tanking. America? No effing way! The American empire is collapsing. Along with the FED note. South America? Don't think so. Most S. American countries are iffy at best. Australia? No. They're nuts. New Zealand? No. They're struggling badly and people are leaving there in droves. Africa? No way in hell. So that doesn't leave very much. Antarctica? Little on the cold side. Few amenities. ;) May as well stay where I am and take my chances. Better the devil I know than the one I don't. If you're serious about moving out of Canada be sure to do your due diligence and research about your target country. Grass always looks greener on the other side but many times isn't once you get there. One place that I AM attracted to is the Azores. Beautiful place. Friendly people. Good climate. One drawback is that I don't speak Portuguese. And I would have to be independently wealthy. After a certain amount of time out of the country I would lose my Canadian pension. It's said that where we are is where we're supposed to be. I may as well take my chances, make the best of a crappy situation and stay here. There really is no better or worse place than Canada. The majority of the countries in the world are struggling with their own problems. I'm not willing to jump from the frying pan into the fire. One of the biggest reasons I want to stay in Canada is that if it does come to a nuclear shooting war it would be very unlikely that Canada would be attacked. So here I'll stay. For better or worse. The LIberals won't be in power forever and if people have the smallest amount of sense, so few will vote for them in the next election that the Liberals will lose party status. I fervently hope that happens. ;)

I’m Canadian, I’ve considered leaving, but I think no matter where I move, these problems we’re having will eventually end up at whichever country I choose to live.
