well he did not tell really why. Look at what happen in Jordan and Lebanon because of the PLO. Jordans were forced to take military actions against the PLO to force them to leave, and lebanon got into a civil war that marked them until now. The palestinians they took bare arms against them, so some arab nations can be against it but won't really say it is because they don't want to face those circumstances again.\nAnd he is totally right, it their homes so nothing forces them to become refugees anyway. It has its consequences for sure

Of course immigrants cause drug addiction. If we had no immigrants there would be no drugs...and no Hollywood...and no trains....and no food....and less housing.....and lousy food......but thats what canadians want. We have a RV park one block away with only canadians allowed...no Americans...and this is Arizona. They sure are causing a havoc with all the 55+ with all the drugs they are bringing in. You would be surprised how many immigrant Canadians 60 and over make meth in their RVs. Im sure all the drug problems in Phoenix are caused by the mexicans not by people with weak characteristics. I will be an immigrant soon to eastern europe so I have to brush up on my drug making skills asap. I guess I will just find an immigrant to teach me.

Sure go live in a dictatorship where your daughters have no rights.

Funny. 200 to 300 years ago, I am sure Brampton Isn’t all white either…..?

Sorry but we have the same problem (Indian grifters) in the US for sure. Totally sucks. I was told by one of these people that many of the CEOs (even this platform) paid off government officials to let 10x amount from this country to migrate to other countries.

If you're illegal and/or a refugee, you will for sure get better treatment and benefits from the government than actual Canadian taxpayers. Lol

And I’m sure they know all about the extensive history of this town dating all the way back to 1834….\n\nNo connection to the history and culture means no issue with tearing it down for new condos.

Blaming the sharp increase in immigration over the past 2 years as the primary reason for a housing crisis that began 10 years ago is extremely dishonest. Or extremely dumb. Not sure what you are.

*shrugs* Canadian here. No interest in leaving, especially to the US of all places.\n\nI mean think that through. My income tax is around 17% of my income. My capital gains on investments is around 15%. I get free health care (which while obviously not free - is paid out of my taxes, yet isn't rationed or in-network restrictions, doesn't have copays and cover 90% of my medical needs). I have a government that even at its worst, is orders of magnitude more rational and public serving than the US (and god help you if Trump gets back in). Not to mention a country that doesn't literally have a major gun violence/mass shooting even EVERY FRICKING WEEK, unlike the US.\n\nAnd yes, I live in Metro Van and I have an 850 sq ft two bedroom apt I'm renting for $1250/mo - so maybe the problem isn't simply that the housing market is too tight (which it is), but that you've picked a city in high demand that's boxed in on four sides - ocean to the west, mountains to the north, US border to the south and what little farmland the lower mainland can sustain to the east. You could, of course, move elsewhere in Canada like Edmonton or Calgary, but yeah...not whiny enough, I guess.\n\nSorry, you're entitled to you views of course, but I can't help thinking most of your problems are self-inflicted... so yeah, move to the States.\n\nI'm SURE it'll work out better for you....

The majority of these European’s fit into the cultural identity of “Canadian” obviously Canada is a close cousin of the U.K. and I’m sure Indians at first were fine, but in the last 10 years they opened the flood gates to every Indian and their grandma and now every province is becoming Brampton, Ontario but Trudeau doesn’t care he spends most his time in hotels outside of Canada.

Thanks Trudeau ?you sure did a great job completely fucking up the country.

being indian who immigrated to canada seen all kind of immigrants in from philipines,china, greece , sri lanka, hongkong, poland, uk, argentina, colombia , middleeastern and all sorts of, one thing i can confirm indians, pakistani, afganisthan all provide net negative value to canadian society . Surely there are good quality immigrants among them but majority of them are burden, but the chinese, philipino polish south american those provide net positive to society, those guys are hardworking and honest.

There are tens of thousands of Americans moving to Canada every year and most Canadians moving here are not necessarily because they are dissatisfied with Canada. I know lots of Canadians in California who moved here because it's warmer and they tired of the cold. In fact, I have never met a Canadian who said things are worse in Canada than here. All of them think Canada has a better healthcare, education system, nicer people, better government... \nIt's true they have housing problems but it's not like we don't have that here in the US! I'm pretty sure it's worse.

Not sure how accurate this data is, regardless I'd rather live in Canada than the US.

People who are complaining again and again, just get fuck out of Canada and go to live somewhere else, we don’t need people who aren’t proud to be Canadians. Travel a bit, see the world, get a wider vision of the world and then I’m pretty sure you’ll kiss the mountains and drink the lakes of Canada

Yeah too many for sure

This is why Millennials and Gen Z NEED TO VOTE. Make sure to let your representative know what you want and put that pressure on . Show up to vote to back it up.

Im not sure what people thought by electing a failed camp counsellor. semi looney tune, black face numerous times etc. You are getting what you voted for.

Let's make Canada great again. Actually I'm kidding. Let's not go down that road. It's easy to poke holes, and cherry pick problems, much harder to appreciate the good things we have. Canada has problems for sure but every place does and we really don't have it so bad. Unreasonable expectations are just as big of a problem as high prices. If Vancouver is too expensive then go somewhere else. I did. Canada is a big place. Very big. There are loads of opportunities if you get out of the rut you are in and stop thinking that life owes you a certain lifestyle.

When I take the train in Edmonton from school, it’s hundreds of Indians talking full blast, in Indian and standing on the escalator, plugging it up, they never allow any movement like cattle cars. It’s a head fuck for sure.

Not sure choosing different party would yield other results. Here in Poland we got 2 parties changing every 4 or 8 years ... and it's a shithole too ...\n\nCan you give an example when politician took care of the citizens? I cannot.

Right government - Keeps the country running, preserves culture and makes sure the country keeps growing. \nLeft government - makes drastic unnecessary changes, destroys culture, thinks printing money and free subsidies helps the poor. Make a mess which the next government has to clean.

When don't they let indian companies build houses and telecom there? I'm sure they can do this faster and cheaper. Can someone clarify why this isn't an option?

That's looks like an organized scheme, just like in France. Older generations are the voters and main owners of these assets, so elected government needs to make sure the real estate market keeps going up.

28-year-old Female Sydneysider from Australia here. Apologise in advance for the long post and rambling.\n\n\nNot sure if it is just me, so please correct me if I am wrong. Just probably now too overly 'realistically too cynical'. So please take my input with a grain of salt. 

For context’ sake, for most of my adulthood I have always been poor & I am born with special health needs (E.g. disabilities).
\n\n\nSometimes on forums we are often contrasted to Canada, for some reason. Both Canada and Australia have remarkably similar problems with a different coat of paint. Sydney, for instance, has always been high up in the list of the cities with the highest cost of living in the world. Usually within the top 10-20. 

COVID-19 obviously made this issue clearer in some circumstances because we couldn't 'work' at all. Unless you were an essential service worker, to mentally block out personal and local difficulties.\n\n\nWe still have not recovered from that 2–3 years global shutdown. The only reason I was allowed to work for a period was because I work for the animal industry and aid in animal welfare. 

I still lost my job due to COVID-19 regardless and knew I would never get a decent job again. Merely just the last poor sod on the boat to be thrown off. 

Could not become a vet nurse despite working very hard. Just because no one wants to give me '2-years permanent paid experience’ to be taken seriously. 

At the same time, way too many employers will happily take 2+ years of veterinary students volunteering at their vet clinic. With the vague promise of a permanent job.

Which, of course, never happens, then say we are being too demanding or spoilt for politely asking for said job.\n\n\nHow are we supposed to pay off our student debt if any financial service expects us to have a per meant job to pay anything off??

 No, they do not want to train nor help you. They just want free labour, then kick you out once your time is up. All my jobs have been casual, and my animal industry has already become heavily casual based ages ago. Permanent job is like looking for a magical unicorn.\n\n\nSo, even if you and your relatives lived in the way outer suburbs of Sydney for decades, being typically considered roughly lower-middle socio-economic families. 

The younger adults and kids all know and have been aware for years, they have no future at all due to having an inflated cost of living. Sugar-coating it, saying it might go in a positive direction, sounds like a blatant lie. We all know it is a lie.\n\n\nNowadays, in contrast to the late nineties and early 2000s when I was just a tiny naive kid that didn't know any better. There seems to be a more jarring split between the income brackets of what the country assumes who is poor, middle class or rich today. 

\n\nBy today's standards, my family is no longer even considered close to the very lower end of the middle class if you were reaching hard. We are considered 'poor' just because my parents do not earn roughly $50,000 — $150,000 AUD a year on their own in 2023. When I worked, I usually earned $30,000-$35,000 AUD or less per year before COVID-19 happened.\n\n\n(Source — https://www.news.com.au/finance/money/wealth/middle-class-aussies-were-living-better-in-the-early-2000s-than-they-are-today/news-story/fe173db5bbe2b705a8d05df8c5cb14ee)\n\n\nLife is only comfortable living there if you're a selfish landlord, a nepo baby, new money or old money.\n\n\nI feel like most governments and other systems are only strictly being run by sociopathic narcissists that only want us to stay poor to remain in poor conditions to benefit off of. Wouldn’t want any kid to be born in a world where there are no safe guarantees for their future if their guardian unexpectedly passes away or can longer care for them. 

When something does not change within roughly 5–10 years, it is more than simply just valid for us to feel like we cannot fix what has been broken.

Bureaucracy is the one for sure. City staffs should be gone!

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.

As a Canadian I'm pretty sure this is inaccurate. We had a huge Scottish population. Are you hiding them under 'UK or America'?\nWe also definitely had more Irish then Russians. Nice try. And you didn't mention any 'Canadian' born.\n\nThe Indians and the Guyana's started coming to Canada enmass after being kicked out of Ghana and Guyana for financial and business crimes. Shame we got stuck with the corruption.\n\nIndia and China have most of the worlds jobs back home in their countries. Their economies are also bigger then Canada. Why on earth are they coming here. They're not going to find work when 1 in 3 of us have no jobs. If they can't find work in the country with all the work they must be worthless.\n\nWhat good is a country of just wealthy people when none of them create businesses to pay to keep the population alive? You folks are useless to us.

Well how funny is this... Their economy depends on mieby coming from Indian students. They want money paid twice as it is for locals still they will feed and suffer from those who are unrest creators and converters of their girls women's to Muslims but abuse Indians ha ha ha... Pls. Tell this to your goverment to pass a bill remove Indians from there you will only be left with dependents in your country and sure not only thousands homeless but clothe less as well on streets... Yeh am missing those orphans too who would be commuting crimes who are left by those whose religions allow 4 marriages have once wide stand in there enjoy their lust and may be a few years from now soon it will be said there was a rich country which was located near the united states named Canada

When a country, region or city gets a significant population that has no sense of belonging to that place and take no effort to integrate with the local culture and uphold the way of living, you know the place is going to go for a toss. Immigration needs to be a well planned strategy. It needs to ve gradual and needs to make sure locals don't a secondary status.

Hello, im sure ronny and reggie would have nipped it in the bud.

I live here but i sure as hell don't invest here. US is the only place worth putting money to work

If he was the indian police officer than surely he will get to know the consequences of touching gatra

the trouble with immigration policy in canada is that it is no longer tied with the economic need but has become rooted in an idea that immigration is something that is always progressive and desirable. Hence, the more the better, has been the guiding principle for years. any discussion of the merits of liberal immigration policy was discouraged and any questioning of an ever growing number of newcomers was portrayed as racist. bad actors in the form of unscrupulous businesses capitalized on this attitude and started importing ever larger number of temporary foreign workers which depressed wages and incomes. To the mix were added international students who came into the country in their hundreds of thousands in search of work and eventual permanent residence rather than education. critical mass was reached in 2022 and was further exacerbated in 2023. things got so completely out of control that even LPC - the champions of large scale immigration, had to implement some half-baked and half-hearted measures to stem the flow. where this will end up is anybody's guess but once the floodgates are open, they are virtually impossible to close. i am sure we will be dealing with the consequences of imprudent immigration policies for years if not decades to come.

Omg, did you actually go to journalism school? You talk to 3 people and then make a sweeping generalization--ouch! I had to stop at 3 minutes as it was clear you had an agenda. Btw, I live in Richmond BC where we have experienced a similar spike of folks from China and Hong Kong. It's a challenge for sure but the answers lie in open, respectful communication, not overt racism. Btw, where did your grandparents come from? We are almost all immigrants, except for our First Nations.

Not too hard to convince a bunch of crybabies that they're being hard done by in Canada, THE COUNTRY THAT RANKS #2 worldwide as best country and #3 for high quality of life. The country that ranks #1 in Religious Freedom and Racial Equity. Also in the top 10 for Human Rights, Entrepreneurship and Animal Rights. Much more too! But sure, crybabies gonna cry.

Liberals sure failed at some stuff. But its us Canadians that kept on flipping homes, pushing higher resale, pushing rental fees. Its the People doing it choosing that path. taking ownership of that is also important

Australia has boosted immigration from India. I think our national anthem will be changed to Hindi so not sure I would be able to recite our anthem anymore………

Just bought a home today in one of the fastest growing cities in Canada… takes a well earning couple and of course can’t buy a starter home as they only make those for retired people, so had to go a lot in debt and have to do all this renovation work to rent out the basement legally or can’t afford the mortgage.. but I believe that things will change but will take time to fix it that’s for sure

Living in a tent on the street in Canada is still a step up from where most of these people are coming, I'm sure.

Yea I sure can't stand the way things are here...jobs are few, housing costs a fortune,, food is also prohibitively expensive....life used to be good here....now it's a constant struggle for survival ?

You should have done your research girl, that is a downgrade for sure.

I think it’s just the normal thing, questions are asked in every port of entry, I came into Canada about a week ago and was asked exactly same questions in Toronto airport all you need is have all your documents handy and be bold in answering all the questions you are asked and be genuine. There is no need being afraid once you are sure of the purpose of your trip then you are good. I’ve been to several countries and it’s almost same questions at every port of entry. God help us.

Stop bringing in immigrants then and then watch your economy crumble. Canada has no problem bringing in immigrants who work hard, do all the long haul trucking and work all the jobs etc people born in Canada don’t want to do. Blaming immigrants for problems is as old white supremacy and racism in this country. The story of Building this country off of the back of new immigrants is as old as the railroad that built this country all done by Asian labour.\n\nPeople born in Canada also don’t want to have kids. Our birth rate is much lower than the US and other western countries. A high birth is the lifeblood of an economy and the future of a country. \n\nWhite people who are homeless and drug addicted is somehow the fault of immigrants? What a stretch. Brampton always has had white trash going back to the 1980s. I find it funny when the trashiest white people interviewed are calling immigrants a problem LOL. As if they were adding anything to the country other than drinking molson Canadians and smoking cigarettes all day in their garage like King of the Hill and spending their welfare check on drugs and beer.\n\nThe real problem with immigration is that the housing targets haven’t kept up. I feel bad for people who are living on the street and hopeless. This isn’t only a Brampton problem this is a problem across the country. If there’s anything this video highlights it’s the low housing issue and the targets set by the government. \n\nThis country will always need immigrants to support it. The key is to make sure we have the infrastructure in place to support everyone and that’s not the fault of people aka immigrants who come to this country and are told life is good here. It’s a problem of city planners and politicians who aren’t doing their job properly.

Not sure if rape and molest cases would increase.

This video has racial discrimination intonation. Aren't these Indians Canadian citizens? So they are Canadian. Why the video segregate white Canadian from indian Canadian? I am not sure why people especially professional or highly skilled people would subject themselves to being treated as second class citizen and targeted racially. Why immigrate?

Unbelievable!!! I visited Canada 3 times. I think it's hard to see the Forrest from the trees. I am sure even in heaven I suppose Canadians will complain that someone else is better than them.

One of similar incidence railway employees was angry at ticket counter some guy started recording her for anger behaviour but m pretty sure someone made her angry by saying something and they started recording after that believe same thing happened here.

So does Israel right. They have a right to live in their land with dignity and security. \nI am sure they don’t want another Oct 7th.

The only #solution is IF the #unitedstates could provide #canada the subsidies of $425 Billion per year from 2025 to 2030…But NO…America is wasting over $500 Billion per year to #ukraine where the war will surely result to a tie.
