I went to high school in Brampton in the early 80's and there were no people from India anywhere... it was very much a white anglo town, and then I moved to Montreal for 25 years to work as a fashion designer. (I remember the shock of flying into Toronto on business and walking outside to get a taxi, there was an endless line of Indian guys wearing Turbans, waiting by their taxis...it was a very strange feeling, as I was not sure if I was in Canada or India.) About 10 years ago, I moved back to Ontario to live in Guelph with my sister and had heard the joke about Brampton becoming 'Bramladesh' by people at the dog park, and in the past 5 years, (since they built the massive temple in Guelph) the place has turned into a mini India, as EVERY house put up for sale is bought by a family from India, with 4 or 5 cars in a 2 car driveway, (strangely, as soon as they move into the house, they all rip out the asphalt driveway and replace it with white concrete??) they seem to be a tribal people and every house is filled to capacity, as the husband and wife are with their kids, the brother and his wife and their parents, all living together. (They are friendly people and they don't cause any trouble... my only issue is the intense stench of spices from their house that fill the air 24/7 to the point that you cannot sit in the back yard or open a window, without being punched in the face from the powerful odour of spices!

When ur in other countries as a immigrant or ur basically a guest so follow the country law that ur immigrant in I feel like even tho I am from India live in Canada since 2014 I feel like I have to follow the rule of Canada I mean I am Canadian citizen now but still I can do my culture things too but at same time when other countries says no knifes in any public places or guns without any license even tho it’s part of ur religion it’s the rule u need to follow ur culture doesn’t work in other countries only work if it’s safe otherwise there nothing much u can do. My favourite festival from my country is Diwali and when I am in Canada i don’t use dangerous firework I only use smaller fire worker but I don’t use rockets and etc that can cause fires bec I am in Canada doesn’t mean I have don’t have to follow their laws laws r meant to keep people safe so i feel like the cop is on the right bec he doing his duty and following his own country law

Jagmeet is the traitor causing this!

Our housing crisis is caused by the governments of Canada\n 1st they started obstructing the building of new houses with these massive years long processes to get the permits\n Some cases 5 to7 years\n The development permit to build a development cost more than it does to build the buildings.\n At the same time they have been bringing in a million people a year.\nWhile this government and all of the other governments for the last 40 years have obstructed industry from getting permits to build anything.\n The middle class is all but gone in Canada and no sign of it to return because you can't do anything you're not allowed to do anything.\nCanada historically had no real homeless population and had the strongest middle class today we have near 500,000 homeless.\nOr you could say about 3% of the population.

you know we also sometimes have to see the famous crucified man statue cause of christians

Trudeau causing problems, to put us off with cost of living!

This will cause a lot of problems!!!!! This man is so ignorant!!!!

Trudeau and Singh causing the perfect storm to come.

TRUDEAU GIVES IMMIGRANTS MONEY BUT NO HOMES. IF ANYONE WAS SMART DON'T COME TO CANADA CAUSE YOU HAVE TO SLEEP IN A TENT

I am Indian and the lady who was talking about adapting to the culture in the country you’re in, is absolutely right. \nBut then, Canada also needs immigrants and workers who can take up minimum wage jobs and most of them pay taxes. But yes, there are also antisocial elements that cause problems for everyone. Perhaps, to Canadianize the immigrants, the Govt can have cultural exposure and introduction classes. I wont make a drastic change but would definitely be a start. That being said, I am not sure how Homelessness and Drug Addiction is a related to immigration, I would consider it a mental health problem.

Translation: we know the chaos palestinians will cause in our country or any country they seek refuge in. No thank you ?

So whereas immigration is supposed to regulate migration into the countries, it is immigration that is directly causing the problem. Find out who is in charge of immigration and fire them and change the rules to seveerely restrict the movement

Problem with Canada's immigration system is its point based. And those points are based on quantity over quality. Eg, if person A has a PhD from some crappy university and Person B from Harvard, they are both treated equally. Also if person C is more qualified with years of experience at the top firms of the world but only has a bachelors degree, person A will still be preferred over him cause of the extra PhD regardless of the quality of the PhD or person C's work.\n\nIt was stupid from the beginning and now its clearly resulted in negative effect to the country. If you keep a high bar to entry, only quality people will be able to apply at limited quantity but somehow your leaders thought of doing the opposite.

Then you better step in and help them cause they about to lose it.

Cause they took everything they could n now they are gone on to pillage the next country

I don't mind them being here. The problem is when they refuse to assimilate and start to convert their surrounding to the belief and culture that they left behind. Cause that is not migration, that's colonization. \n\nIt should be a requirement for immigrants to learn how to assimilate and learn the culture, the language, the tradition, and the laws of the country they adopted and not the other way around.

Both should be kicked off. Put them on no- fly radar for a year or so. They're causing a ruckus. They have no consideration for other passengers.

Use this as a learning opportunity> For improving safety and training. Designing intersection better. we learn in Airline incidents it is NEVEr the one cause, liek a fatigued pilot thaty causes crash it is a chain of causes, cascading. Combination of human factors interacting with design etf.

Hypocrites, they left the weight on the zionists caused by the blockade imposed by the Yemenits. The Saudi regime with Emirate and Jordanian ones created the humanitarian route to help zionists continue their work.

Come to europe, there are Indians everywhere. The population of India itself is over 1 billion and then you have another billion indians living all over the world (caribbean Islands is full of indians, African countries, europe, Fiji, middle east, USA, Canada) I mean they are the cause of over population on earth.

I have an idea. Why cant Indians fix their own country and then they wouldnt have to leave? They clearly leave because of quality of life and job opportunity. Why arent there good quality of life in India? What is the reason for it? Is it a religious cause? Is it the government? I dont understand.

Both federal and provincial governments are complicit regarding the housing shortage. They knew WELL in advance that accepting too many immigrants, and not building a matching number of dwellings for them would cause housing shortages and push up prices greatly. They also knew WELL in advance that higher housing costs would destroy discretionary income and push living standards down for the working class. There's no surprises here. If they say otherwise, know for certain they're lying.\n\nCanada's economy is suffering because too much income must be allocated for housing, leaving far less for everything else. The result is increased unemployment, which will only get worse as more and more mortgages are renewed at high interest rates.\n\nBottom line: Canada is being converted into a two tier society. Those few that have abundance, and the many who have little.

As somebody who has been hit before, I have zero empathy for the one who caused the crash. In my case it was luckily just injuries to myself requiring physio and some rehab but others aren't as lucky. People need to be held accountable for mistakes they make. None of this slap on the wrist crap, if you're going to drive you need to understand what the machine you're piloting can do to both you and other people if you're being careless. The person who hit me has a higher insurance bill now, so I'm sure she'll never hit anybody again and the problem is 100% solved.

Global News is trying very hard to turn this deportation into re-casting a convicted criminal as an oppressed victim. Why? \nSidhu was not and is not a Canadian citizen. Conviction = deportation. But put that question aside for a moment. Was Sidhu trained, licensed, experienced and knowledgeable about driving a heavy vehicle on a highway across the Prairies in winter conditions? If so, where did he get that training and experience? Did he have the qualifications for a Class 1 Operator's License? Did he have prior experience? If so, where, when, and how much? \nGlobal News doesn't focus on what caused the deaths of the Humboldt Broncos - why? Accounts at the time suggested that Sidhu was not qualified, but that by some process he got the job anyway. Will Global be following up on that? Up to now, Global has not asked those questions. Sidhu was convicted for actions resulting in the Humboldt Broncos tragedy. He is not a Canadian citizen and the rules are clear: his criminal conviction means he's being deported. Unlike Global News, the victims I see in this story are the families of the Humboldt Broncos team, and the team members themselves. Global News want to change criminal to innocent victim. Nothing could be further from the truth. He was given a fair trial, convicted and sentenced. Now he is being deported. If Global wish to play the 'reverse the story' game, perhaps they should refuse Canadian citizens' tax dollars as 'revenue'.

I don't get it. It was a unfortunate and tragic accident. He didn't cause the accident on purpose. He owned up to it. Pleaded guilty. I get a mistake was made. But i don't get is how him being deported prevents anything, and or remedies anything. The terrorst, omar khadar, who killed allied soldiers lives in Canada with a $10 million payout. Illegal aliens with no documentation? Thats fine too. The man suffered enough and will live with his mistake for the rest of his life. I just don't understand it. It feels like punitive punishment for unintended and accidental consequences.

This man had caused a tremendous pain to many families. I don’t see any chance even remotely that he should stay in Canada

Can't believe this is still being discussed, get him out! Sure accidents happen, but as i see on the major highways here in Ontario, these immigrants driving transports are road safety hazards! Too many times have I seen close calls. When something happens as this guy caused, you're out!\n\nSad part is, he'll be back in a few years anyways by either marriage or student visa.

[He] has rights and the driver who caused this accident is 'brown'. [He] has the full right to not only stay in Canada but also the right to sue the victims' families for the pain and suffering [he] has undergone. Shame on you Canadians for further traumatizing this poor individual. This is not what Canada is about. It is about acceptance, compassion and understanding of all the beauty that cultural diversification has to offer. God bless the Trudeau/Freeland administration for [their] contribution to Canada.

This was an extremely horrible accident, in terms of this ruling key word accident, caused partly by a system that does not accredit new truck drivers properly, or maintain safe roads properly. I support those parents of the victims that support Mr Sidhu. Accidents will happen, yes Mr Sidhu must be accountable but tragedies will continue to happen if agencies meant to keep the public safe are negligent, they must construct proper intersections and monitor and enforce proper training and licensing for professional drivers. This ruling only adds to the tragedy, and lets the government agencies off the hook. Anyone at the motor vehicle department being labelled a criminal and sent packing to another country, or would that be too far, or is this ruling against Singh perhaps just easier as he isn’t a faceless agency? My condolences and sympathies to all affected; by the accident and this subsequent Vengeance, for an extremely unlucky however avoidable- accident.

Yesterday i arrived in the container Today i deliver the container...FFS.. TRUDEAU & SHING ARE THE CAUSE OF THIS BULLCHITT..

He has to go. Non Canadians can't cause this amount of trauma and stay.

U r also a migrant from imperialist causes ?\nWhere are the native american today ? \nThey are not illegal?\nU people keep those for ur own business.

Too lazy to stop and caused so much pain and suffering for so many. That intersection was clearly marked with a flashing red light on it! I’ve been there.

It's not this man's fault our justice system is broken. He's just a symptom. Broken down regulations and laissez-faire job qualifications and monitoring caused this accident, not malevolent actions by the driver. He served his time and has shown remorse for the accident. He has a right to appeal this judgement as does any permanent resident who faces deportation.

Shocking how many deaths you need to cause in Canada to be deported..... shocking

People rip on Oriental asians for being bad drivers when Indian drivers cause more fatal accidents and property damage (look up the overpass collisions in BC and Ontario)

Good finally these effers are facing exactly what they should and there are thousands of them out there that are as bad or worse drivers ....and typically the fn people talked to here are all whinning about the guy that caused these deaths !!!!!

We Canadian stand for peace \nHe suffers alot ever since he did not cause this willfully \nhe expresses his sorrow empathy an emotions for his mistake and the hurt it causes to the innocent lives that's we lost??\nHope his Layers can help to avoid his deportation ?????

people forgetting use of marijuana anytime and everywhere its one of cause of it, should be limited to medical mariquana only

Goddam! It took long enough to deport him! The damage this caused is irreparable and inconceivable.

The cause of the housing Crisis and and Soaring Cost of Living. Trudeau and his Incompetent Liberals need to Go.

How about Saudi and all the other Arab nations unite in their support of the Palestinian cause for self determination by cutting off all diplomatic and economic ties with Israel. Put your money and your morals where your mouth is.

I found people who blame immigration for this , ridiculous at best ! What caused this , has been decades in the making well before Trudeau and it’s government. \nBoth parties are responsible for this . \n\nThe wages have stalled for decades while everything else has gone up . Look at the minimum wedges in Australia and NZ comparing to their cost of life ? You have the same rental and real estate prices for double the salaries . \n\nLetting foreign interest buy out land and properties trough bidding wars to the point of kicking out Canadians of the market caused this . Prioritising the construction of luxury condos instead of building more affordable houses caused this . \n\nBut please keep blaming immigrants who work their ass off in jobs that most of you refuse to do , instead of blaming the lack of all of the successive governments to address an issue they knew was going to hit us in the face one day .

Canadian students pay less cause we actually contribute to the country all our life with our taxes.. can't come here and get every benefits real Canadians have. Study and leave. This isnt a free citizenship program, you study and go back to punjab

International socialism causes problems? Really?

Who made them judge and jury? What kind of atrocities does your religion cause, sir? \nThis holier than thou attitude and the rules for me But not for thee attitude, that aint gonna stick. No one's going to like that.

It's easy to point the hate at the international students, but this situation didn't arise all of a sudden and was definitely not caused only by these students.\n\nProvincial govt policies made and allowed the diploma mills to recruit these students en masse at 4-5 times the fee.\nFederal govt departments issued their visas allowing them to fly here.\nWe promised these students a path to PR/Citizenship, our colleges took their money, and our businesses used their labour.\n\nThe situation is dire indeed, but it's a failure of policymakers, not these students.\n\nIt's unfair to first let people in with promises, then break those promises, and then hate the people when they're protesting.

So the big question is would you rather have the Indians or the homeless? Some illogical people would say the Indians cause the homeless for the Whites, not drugs.

People from India have a long, strong history in Canada due to their strong allegiance to the Queen and monarchy. They have never caused problems. If their churches thrive it's because they actually go to church whilst Canadians let theirs go to to waste. The violence we see is not random East Indians popping off on the go train, let's be honest. Their mafia is no different from the ones we have had in each culture. They are welcome imho plus they make great food.

Canada Immigration used to be so competitive 16 years ago. The cause of this mass immigration is the current government who granted visa to developing countries knowingly the fees are not affordable still visa was granted for a cheap labor.People move around seeking better quality of life. The charm of Canada was Health Care, Education. sixteen years ago I had seen my immigrants, and student who came to Canada for grad studies. Canada had a strict immigration rules and having permanenet resident was an achievement, dream felt so privilege.
