I’ve been in Canada for over 24 years and I have never seen it like this in my life!\nThe main cause of the majority of issues is the housing crisis.\n\nWhat a lot of you might not be aware of is that we have not been building homes to keep up with the demand for over two decades. That’s why the price for housing has increased astronomically. And then our government decided to basically allow unfettered immigration in order to take advantage of the new immigrants’ money so they can use it to fund the Canadian Pension Plan.\n\nJust an FYI, the way CPP is funded is that the current group of working people are paying for the current group of retired seniors. And due to the lack of childbirths and people living longer, the CPP can no longer afford to take care of all the seniors in its system. Thus, the government devised a plan to have more people coming here so as to milk the money they have. Actually, they’ve even gone to the extent to basically allow seniors to be willingly euthanized… it’s absolutely bonkers.\n\nBut anyway, I digress… so then with housing at astronomical prices, you’re now pushing out the poor people onto the streets, causing homelessness. \n\nAnd when people are homeless, the average person will do drugs to escape reality and commit crimes to survive. Which is why it’s now increasingly dangerous in public spaces. \n\nThen, the transportation also never accounted for such a massive increase in population. At least not in Toronto. Which is also causing major inconvenience to go anywhere. \n\nIt used to be that if you lived in the suburbs, you could drive into Toronto pretty quickly but now, it takes like an hour and a half to two hours, making it extremely difficult to get around. And also, hard to take advantage of the “lower” housing prices in the suburbs.\n\nBut that’s not all. Part of the issue is that the Trudeau government wants to no longer have Canada use our oil and gas overnight, which is causing the increase in gas prices. Many Canadians still rely on gas because electric cars are not efficient in Canadian weather and are simply too expensive for your average person. And yet they cut off our supply of oil and gas which causes the price inflation of transport and anything that requires to be moved such as groceries and supplies.\n\nAnd don’t get me started on how our healthcare system is falling apart… even though we pay some of the highest taxes in the world…

East Indians people should use condoms unless they don't know how to use it?...

It’s because AMERICAN solutions do not work for problems that are, more or less, BRITISH. Canada uses American solutions that will not work

I bet another reason the government would rather have rentals is they usually pay twice the property taxes that homeowners do. That can amount to tens of thousands a year difference in tax revenue for each and every property on a street. Sad but true.....\nStill I have to agree with the high immigration numbers. It seems I've always had a general idea of what a Canadian looks like but the past years I'm regularly seeing people that look Chinese, Indian, African, Arab.... all kinds of ethnic looks calling themselves Canadian. Of course god bless diversity it is the commandment of god herself here in the U.S. but its something to get used to!

I used to work at the Amazon Fulfillment Center in Brampton. 80% of the staff were from India. Just before my departure , they would post memos and messages to our work stations, in Gujirati / Punjabi / Hindi language. We were left wondering if Amazon had turned into an exclusively Indian company.

i am from hamilton and we are still very diverse here. yes brampton is quiet loaded with indians. i think what has failed is the requirements for immigration has dropped. i mean we use to have highly educated people come in but now the standards have dropped. so anyone with low standards can come walk in. pubjabi votes for jagmeet or trudeau and they are the group with highest crimes in india the state of punjab and there is a big drug and drinking culture that comes here. the minute our standards grow up with immigration requirements then we will get more educated bunch coming in. when we have greedy power hungry people run the country this is what happens. now people are fed up. the other day i was at freshco and some white guys started to lecture me and he openly admitted he is a racist. i pulled out my camera and started to record. he backed off but he could have done anything. he rude and stupid. i was also quiet upset. people were not like this and were more accepting. i can understand his frustration but he said openly he was racist and called me Fxxxxxxx indian etc... this is out of line. i also gave him a mouth full. i told him i have been here 35 years and his mood changed but its quiet disappointing how people react. its not safe or respectful. not sure where we are headed in canada.

no knife brother,s ,,,, only guru ji five kakar use Sikh only sikh ❤❤

This use of intellect is a cunning tactic to escape the reality of facts.... In other words a powerful Muslim nation can look on to the deaths of fellow Palestinian Muslims. Pathetic speaker

True, sadly there elected a terror group & all the aid was used for the war.

Yeah, I’ll probably just live out of my car forever. I imagine I could get a pretty good thing going if I used solar panels and satellite internet in the middle of a forest.

Thank you so much my brother for this Chanel, my first time seeing you, may God bless you. Please advise our people to use their money wisely by investing their travels money on business in Nigeria.

Omg, they need to use deodorant and learn to take a proper shower. I lived in Mississauga and I went to the movies and omg did it ever stink like B.O all the ppl from India.

peoples republic of china flag is used for republic of china and qing dynasty and scandinavia was never a country, it was called sweden-norway and only included sweden and norway. It did not use that flag. Ireland was part of UK until 1922. The Russian Empire fell in 1917. Province of Newfoundland and Labrador flag is used for British Newfoundland. British commonwealth is an organization of countries. German Reich flag is wrong from 1933-1945. Kingdom of italy flag is wrong.

The housing crisis is unbelievable. Last 5 years house prices went up dramatically. Cost of living; our grocery bills doubled in the last year! Health care system is crippled. We moved to another city and still waiting for 2/3 years to be assigned a family doctor! Safety is becoming more and more issue. People used to keep their doors unlocked. Now? No way josey. It is sad. I m looking for a change. Next election, definitely will vote for the opposition party.

Thanks for this video, very useful

The crazy thing is that some Canadians still have faith in Trudeau's party or just have too much trust in the government that they can turn this around. I want to see this country prosper but every few months I just keep on seeing new policies that the current government makes that just doesn't make sense.\n\nFew things to mention\n- No more investment in more roads by the federal government (I understand they want essentially to have citizens use cars less but they haven't provided a plan on how that money would be invested? I have yet to see trains being invested to connect cities such as High speed rail?)\n- Increased carbon taxes (most premiers were against this but they negged it on)\n- proposal and voting for Increasing taxes on capital gains (impact business that invest in Canada)\n- This is a positive thing but also happened because they polls went to the dump (increased investment in housing) and then decrease foreign student admission for future years ( I think this is where liberals say they have hope, but it's at a point where they messed it up and now are trying to fix it to make it look like they are fixing someone else's mess\n- The government is also just adding more policies we can't afford such as Dental plans for certain incomes, food in schools while the free health care doesn't really feel worth the taxes when the quality is not there. ( This is how they want to be the good guys when the conservatives need to cut costs to help resolve this mess)\n\nThe liberals are kind of like that guy in the family that takes a loan, pockets some money for corruption, then gives money away to charities saying I'm the good guy, and then doesn't know how to pay the loan back so asks for their family to help fund the debt.

Trudeau has nuked the way of life that Canadians used to enjoy. The problem with the election system is that you could get elected prime minister even with about only 30% of the popular vote. Not saying that a popular vote is the right way to go, but we have a population of around 38 million, and only about 30% actually voted for Trudeau. Canada is a sinking ship.

Classic case of 1% of Khalistanis are damaging 99%. \n\nI'd say, to all my Sikh brothers, to oppose the Khalistanis, else their crimes will be washed on you, and the 1% also want that, so that they can increase the differences, and more divide means more easy vote for them in Canada. \n\nWhenever there is a Khalistani protest, Organise a Pro-Sikh/India protest, This is the only way to deal with it, Khalistanis use our sikh brothers shoulders to fire their weapon. \n\nAlso, Today I came to know that in 1984 riot no one was punished..\nBut what can we do? Congress has painted themselves as the SAINT of Democracy, when their hands are blood soaked.\n Nellie massacre was also one case where No one was punished. \n\nWhat a tragedy in our independent history just for political mileage.

Palestinians never use bombs to begin with

I used to dream of moving to Canada from another country, but seeing what is happening there now I was well disappointed... And this is unfortunate, friends, the country itself is magnificent

Tum log Sikh katleaam ko Sikh Dange badhakar sikhon ke Mano ko thes per jaate Ho apni karte nahin batate general subah Singh jinhone Bangladesh banaya tha jinhone 90000 pakistaniyon ke hathiyar satva ke Bangladesh banvaya tha use generals bag Ko Tum logon ne Jalil karke military se nikala tha vah karte nahin bataaoge tum log sikhon ko ki tum log Sikh general ko kaise Jalil karke bahar nikaalte rahe ho

If a pro Palestinian protester had spoken to a jew using those exact words, the gov would not only be condeming the comments but they would be looking to arrest them....straight hypocrisy

I grew up in Toronto during the 2000s - it used to feel like living in the Shire. These days it’s closer to the Purge.

They don't seem bothered as they're used to it basically the same when they get home.

Very well done, and I think it's a very fair assessment of where we Canadians find ourselves in these troubled times. But Canada is not alone the entire western world is at some kind of crossroad. The USA used to be the glue holding it all together but now they are 34 trillion dollars in debt and involved in proxy wars. It's a quagmire and we are all sinking in slow motion.

I used to think the South Asians are nice peace-loving people but fast forward to 2024, I think they are one the most racist group of people. Coming from the world's biggest democratic country, literally nothing they do is democratic. We've all been scammed.

Canada interest rate used to be 16 percent.

Yah they do you don’t want them to leave because you would not have any martyrs to use on the international stage.

Hello\n \nCan you help to publicise and aid families trapped in bonded labour in Pakistan’s brick kilns?\nI came back from India last year moved by the migrant families caught in a vicious circle of poverty and debt. Driven by extreme poverty, seasonal employment and pressing needs, men take out loans for critical expenses or daily living. But these loans come with an unimaginable price – they are bound to work at the kilns until they can repay their ever increasing debts. Generations of oppressed people live and work in Asian brick kilns, robbed of their freedom and human rights. These families are often the poorest of the poor.\nYour sponsorship or donation, however small, would help fund a video exposing this modern slavery. I would in turn use my documentary to raise funds for a variety of charities and faith groups helping Pakistani brick slaves.\nSuch absolute poverty and degradation is hard to imagine. That’s why I’m asking you to donate generously to my campaign here: https://www.launchgood.com/campaign/bricked_in_by_slavery#!/. Please click on the link for further information and Q and As.\nBest regards\nStephen Wolstenholme

But this use sold fellow arabs to Israel and US. He must be ashamed of himself

The british used to colonized my country, that's the reason why i'm speaking english rn. Learn your history.

I think Faisal right ..... Netanyahu ko Gaza se abhi dur ho jana chahiye...... Israel administration ka treatment thik nahi ...... Saudi Arabia Iran ki tarah step nahi le shakta ........ Civilians ko target kiya gya he ..... Clear he war ke koi bhi rule follow nahi kiye gye he. Pentagon ko forcefully piche hatne ke liye bolna chahiye IDF ko. Two states formula apply Karo current condition yahi bani he. Rules ka miss use thik nahi. Al aksha apne right time par khud down ho jayegi. Ek rocket thi gumbad ko Target karega. Uske bad sab kuch apne aap thik ho jayega.

1469 sri guru nanak dev ji take birth nd started sikh religion and after 9 gurus our 10th sikh guru sri guru Gobind singh ji started khalsa nd on 30 th march 1699 guru ji flashed his naked sword ?️ in air and asked for 5 heads and thousands of people present in congregation were speechless but few minutes later daya ram ji from lahore stood up nd offered his head to guru ji and guru ji asked him to follow him in a tent ,after a short while guru ji came out with blood dripping sword nd everyone thought daya ram was sacrificed and everyone outside the tent could hear the sound of 'thud' from inside the tent as if their heads had fallen on the ground and this was repeated 5 times and but few moments later guru ji came out with no sword but 5 sikhs who were believed to be sacrificed came out wearing decoratied robes and guru ji announced that they were 5 pyaras paanjh pyaras who were daya singh ,dharm singh ,mokham singh ,himmat singh ,sahib singh ji and they were baptised by guru ji like that and on that day guru ji said -from.now on the khalsa shall be baptised with 'Amrit'.created with water stirred with a double edged sword while the words of gurubani are uttered..and today if anyone wants to get baptised in sikhism they hv to follow the process nd rules made under sikhism ,the aim was to establish equality between the gurus nd his followers .nd equality between all baptised nd their will be no difference of caste ,money ,fame between those baptised all r khalsa meaning pure .and main principles of khalsa r deg ,tegh ,fateh charity nd sword .guru ji inculcated 5 virtues in every sikh that r sacrifice ,cleanliness,honesty, charity and courage .every khalsa has to follow 5 kakkar,s rules given by sri guru Gobind singh ji .which r kesh- khalsa is not allowed to cut their hair as it represents the natural appearance of sainthood ,kanga,,kachaa,,kara ,,kirpan --the sword FOR protection of others ONLY, THE WORD COMES FROM SANSKRIT .. KIRPA +AAN means to do a sacrifice while protecting someone else , when they r in danger to protect their aan(respect) u have to do kirpa (service) ..so to protect someone else respect nd life u have to do a service nd have to sacrifice urself for their protection bcz that is the duty of a baptised sikh to use that kirpan while saving their dignity nd respect nd life nd if any sikh die whilst doinf that then he/she should die but save the people in danger , ..so ,,,guru ji gave this kirpan not to use it for ur own protection but for protection of others by sikhs and kirpan meaning depicts that also that is why kirpan was given not any sword like talvar bcz talvar tal +var tal means to protect ur own lifeline or dignity nd empire etc, var means to attack so talvar is to protect urself ..talvar means -to attack to save urself ..so,guru ji gave khalsa a kirpan for a reason not talvar ..to save people in danger ..and hindus know everything about sikhism nd even than many of them r commenting against this but some foreigners from usa ,uk r commenting in favour of sikhs that shows their respect nd level of understanding ..nd when \n ur own people r not supporting you but people of other religions nd nations r supporting you ....and in 1699 khalsa was made nd frm then to till now baptised sikhs r wearing kirpan ,but not even a single incident of missusing kirpan is their ..not even a single incident of sikh using kirpan for attacking others has been recorded ...bcz sikhs use kirpan only to protect the lives of others ..and for those who r saying that we will also carry guns nd north korea bombs if sikhs can carry kirpan ..their is a difference between 3 inch small blade and a gun nd a bomb ...and if ur elders have given martyrdom like sri guru Teg bahadar ji and bhai mani singh ji and have given you the right to keep the guns and bombs ,then you keep the guns nd bombs ..sri guru teg bahadar ji ne shahedi di for hindua but aaj k hindua comment kr rha h against sikh gurus bcz commenting kirpan is same as commenting against gurus bcz una ne he aa rules bnaye h ..but thanks to those foreigners who r trusting us sikhs thanks for understanding ..hindua were supposed to help nd support sikhs as they promised in 1947 but .

THERE ARE 1.3 MILLION PAKI’S IN BRAMPTON AND MISSISSAUGA ITS A DISGRACE . CANADA IS NOW A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY. TORONTO USED TO BE THE BEST CITY TO LIVE IN ALL OF NORTH AMERICA BACK IN 1980 . NOW ITS DROPED TO #48 THANK YOU TO BOTH TRUDEAU’S ??????

They also live in filth with bedbugs and roaches the buses can't be used in Brampton unless you want to smell like a curry armpit.. it's sad the amount of corruption to sell off Canadian to third world.

Even Canadian born Indians are annoyed theres too many Indian immigrants entering Canada. Most are useless students who apply to B-rated colleges like Algoma or Conestoga (who makes millions off of them), and then dont get good paying jobs afterwards. Because they studied useless programs. These Indian students use college as a loophole to gain fast PR in Canada. Majority of them are scammers. Some become nurses and truckers because thats where the demand is. Then they sponser their entire families from India. This contibutes to over population growth, where the demand is high, and housing supply is low. Families will also pool their money together to buy houses. Problem: The Government Allows it.

Israel/Occupied Territories: Children must not be used by armed groups\nLast week, Israeli soldiers discovered a bag of explosives in the possession of an 11-year old. Palestinian child at the same checkpoint.

Western politicians always finds it convenient to use immigration to score easy points.

It’s not their land, if you were defending your land I’m sure you would use the same approach

??????? good luck to all Canadians ?? getting a good job those Indians take over Canada ?? everywhere you go they're there many Canadians are living in the streets ???????with nooooooo place to called their home ??????it's hurts knowing the way I used to saw Canadian people living before ????? I do my best for a few of them them sometimes ????????

Those Palestinians were co-operated with Hamas in Gaza (some by force)\n\nIf they will go back there, Hamas will continue their evil activities and use them to protect themselves as they did before (hiding in kindergartens, schools, hospitals…)\n\nI’m wondering why their brothers in other Arab countries aren’t accepting them. ?‍♀️

The Arab world is using Palestinie particularly gaza to attack Israel if they wanted to change the conditions in Gaza any Sunni government like the Saudis could do it in an instant. But they like Palestinians where they are to be able to attack Israel

Canadian real estate is a safer investment than US.. Landlords are incentivised to flip Canadian homes and use the profit to convert American homes into rentals.. Canadian Real estate is built on American debt.

Main and Queen used to be all Canadians 10 years ago, not anymore.\n\nThe only Canadian part in Brampton is the industrial area.

Sometimes… it is better to LEAVE Canada once one gets the passport to avoid high living costs and crappy services (healthcare among others) and high taxes. It is sometimes a good idea to use the passport and experiences (make sure it is not from those survival jobs they lure to many immigrants) and use that elsewhere… to me, 3 years after uniting here, I knew I wouldn’t retire here nor buy a house here (not worth it)!!!

Saudi Arabia and Iran are wealthy Arab countries, they fund and use small poor countries like palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan and so on As terrorist pawns to push their radical Islamic views on the rest of the world

Using Immigrants to fuel economy is a disaster...

Politicians have got us in a deep hole where no return. I used to rent a 1bdrm for $500, now it's at 1800$ in shitty neighbourhood, had to wait over 20y to get a family doctor, problems keep rising without solution. All they care about is paying our taxes. It's a joke, honestly I won't encourage anyone to come here. Last couple years they brought millions of students who are now in sleeping on streets.

First time I voted him, and then I noticed something really off after he won. At the time Toronto became a city with lots of ignorance, brain-washing people who believed he did great. When I tried to express my concern, I got blackmailed and warned and even attracted by certain group of people on the street. Nobody came to help. I was so depressed and left. \n\nI didn't even vote second and third time because I don't see any common sense from all candidates. They all brand themselves great and have been using the same way. \n\nKarma is getting to these ignorance and brain-washed people with higher prices of everything and poorer living condition. They need to stop blaming the outcome.
