I can remember when Mississauga was considered country. What has the west come to

By these comments, Canadians hate immigrants even more than American white supremacists. This man is scared for himself and his family. His case is just ignorance. He doesn’t know the proper ways to go about it. Him getting a lawyer and what not has showed he’s a bit smarter than many immigrants seeking asylum but most cases people don’t know the proper way to migrate out of their countries. They just know that there are better and safer opportunities elsewhere. As for everyone whining about why he doesn’t speak English, not EVERYONE CAN LEARN AT THE SAME PACE. There’s people that live in other countries for years and only know enough to get around and then theres people that just pick up on languages In less than a year. The language doesn’t matter. I’m sure he knows enough to communicate with people. I’m more surprised at the amount of people that law this and law that. Yes there are laws that should be followed but do people even consider morality? I hope none of you alls countries go to war or are over taken and you have to try to seek asylum in another country because I highly doubt you all would escape the ‘proper’ way. Most of you in the comments are sick and sad and will never truly understand the despair these people feel until you’re put in their position. Don’t bother replying to this comment because I won’t answer. I said what I said.

Putting differences aside no one chooses as a child where they are born, sometimes were fortunate to be born in a Country that gives us opportunities that other countries can’t so don’t judge just consider yourself fortunate.

so a cult that literally kills you if you leave it, it is considered a religion?

Why doesn't the US do a flyover and drop leaflets to the migrants of how it's going to be at the border?. We all knew this invasion of migrants was a well orchestrated event with planned busing, meals, transportation, media event stops where everybody got off the buses for the media event and then boarded the buses again. Ever notice the babies, consider the 7000 people, a good number of them requiring disposable diapers all along the way. Notice the number of people walking in Flip-Flop shower shoes that are totally impractical for walking any distance. If these people were walking you'd be seeing them sitting when the caravan stopped. Don't feel sorry for these opportunist they're getting PAID because we all know they don't have a hive mind seeking discomfort, exhaustion, starvation, pissing on the roadside, putting their children through a stressful event. Caravan is said to be 14,000 people now. With about 4,000 getting paid. The former ICE director says 18 to 20% of illegals have criminal records. The democrats are trying to conquer by occupation, eventually they will have our nation so broke the system of welfare services will collapse under the weight of sheer numbers of illegals taking a free ride. Then our nation will be socialist like Ecuador.

You guys must read this if you're even considering Canada at the slightest: ttps://immigrationcanadatips.com/2018/10/25/should-you-immigrate-to-canada-or-the-united-states-of-america-pros-and-cons/

Lol maybe it's me, but being shamed for being drunk and wearing short skirts it's not ecxacly what I'd call sharia.\nNot something I would consider a national security issue, people talking about killing all of them is.

Trudeau would be considered a facist by SJWs....because Canada is a country of laws...

We consider Alberta the Texas of Canada.

All of this could have been avoided by coming in the legal route. Send them all home now. Only vetted educated people who speak English should be considered for legal immigration.

Why does he consider himself a refugee ? How is he working if he has no status ?? Can we see his tax return ??? This man is crying but he is working illegally and likely not paying taxes. Most immigrants come here following the right process.

Ice is sending all illegals backs costing citizens to much when they don't work and demand things that really their not even suppose to get . They work the minimum if that and then stay on welfare while everyone else who works taxes go up bunch of free loaders . In fact we are cutting welfare and and benefits because of this we try to be nice but when we are token advantage of . Sorry are states are full of these freeloaders were also cutting letting people in because they don't do anything but demand money when their not even suppose to get in the first place then they hate us anyway and go around flying their damm flag around hollering Mexico . Mexico don't even want them they refuse to take them . They are just using them to get votes . We have enough people Canada can keep them . If he get caught here they will jail him. We are tired of the Victim act many people here have issues here to . United States has taken care of everyone around the whole world when war happens , trading but we get the short stick everytime . Beside when war break out which it will. Do you really think United States is the safest considering we're Babylon. Tell me something why are Hollywood people moving to different places ? It's only a matter of time .

Why does liberalism today must stand for unshackled pratices that are unraveling before us?? I consider myself a liberal and honestly i think i believe much of their policies are driven by madness, not all of them but many of them. Liberals must be taught a course about rationalism,because many of them are now forcing our civilization to starting at an abyss! Whether it be here in america or Europe,we must all rethink the liberal policies and prevent the genocide of our way of life. The pure suicide of our reason is now being used by conservatists as a tool to taint the liberal creed which is at a turning point. We must overcome by taking demagogues who use inflamatory language towards immigrants accountable and understand the need for a well regulated and welcoming immigration system.

Depend on your education how much you can earn in India....$14 bucks in Canada consider below poverty line because rent is 1300$ what a stupid person...that guy is

Well brother no offence, you will be paid more than 10k even if you work at Mc Donald's in India considering you are looking for that kind of work.

I just can't wait to vote him out in 2019.He is a real pain for us Canadian. Will president Trump consider part time in Ottawa ? We need him most urgently. We do whatever we can even with our already cheap dollars.

Please keep your uninsightful comments to yourselves. For some reason Americans feel it is their right to critique other countries that they are not in agreement with. We hear you but simply don't listen to you. Here's a simple fact you may be able to wrap your minds around. The world has changed. You cannot simply pick a time out of history and say that you want to go back to the way things were some 70 years ago. A despot has decided to ethnically cleanse his country ... for seven years that i, and as such human beings by nature are of the mindset they'd prefer to live and try to seek a better life for themselves and their families. But you don't focus on that fact. You focus on the nickels and dimes being spent on accommodation. We get it, you don't like people putting a burden on your system. The USA... wealthiest nation on the earth would prefer to not allow migrants into their county. You could afford to open up your country but are fearful of the financial burden and I have seen some Americans question why these illegals are getting free food and education on our dime. Consider an investment in your future. In 50 years the amount of money spent on these migrants fleeing from desperate situations is a paltry sum Mr Scrooge. BUT if one of those people makes a dramatic difference to your country then think how far ahead you will be. \nThe alternative is to send back the refugees or illegals and wish them well. That would be a catastrophic waste of potential life. So are you really worried about hotel costs in the grand scheme of things. Are your really? Pitiful.

So this “liberal” Canadian considers wildlife to be at the level of Zero.. “our country is empty”. (If it isn’t overrun with millions of humans). Doesn’t sound like he gives a hoot about the environment. Who’s paying this guy? Big corp?

It's so sad - the damage Prime Minister Trudeau has done by not considering the impact of his words...

50k per year is higher than the average household income for the majority. Shouldnt this be considered a loan rather than a gift

10:53 NOBODY treats everyone the same.... you don't treat strangers and family the same? Then you don't treat everyone the same now do you? Do you judge people on how their first impression be it clothes, posture, attitude and so much more? Then you don't treat everyone the same\n\nPeople judge each other which is why first impressions are considered important (as then is when most judgement are made and then they can be changed after that but that is much slower and more difficult) and that will likely never ever go away

Not saying this to be a leftist or a conservative but just try to imagine your born in a country like Salvador every day seeing gangs killing people kids elderly ... you have a wife kids ... wouldn't you do anything literally anything to do just so your kid can have a better future and yes even considering going to another country where you have no family and know no body not even their language .... please comment I want to see what people would do

It's not enough to live in a shit-hole country with violence. To be considered a refugee, that violence must be targeting YOU and your family SPECIFICALLY. It's not enough to just live among it. If your country sucks, it's your duty as a citizen to fight and work to end that unpleasantness. El Salvador's government does not persecute its people—it's just incompetent.

Clinton started “separating families”, the whole narrative is distorted, the camps the kids stay in has PS4s, great food, school, soccer etc...not a bad deal especially considering the parents knowingly “illegally” try to gain entry to the USA, you know illegal??? Against the law??? Try that crap in Russia or Mexico and see what happens...total left hypocrisy

here's only one thing I see. For here why do you not consider the Native American people in your study if you want to speak of hatred or disrespect and discrimination as a Native American where do we fit in on that we've been discriminated against for over 500 years not only because the color of our skin but because of our beliefs

Canada will capitulate to all the Muslims demands. The Trudeau years will be remembered as the beginning of Canada's downfall. He is so concerned about pushing the diversity is our strength lie, he is blind to reality. All conservative Canadians should consider a plan B. Your future looks quite bleak.

with respect to the job situation I am not really surprised at all. The higher up you go in terms of qualifications requirements is the less likely you are to find discrimination based on names in Toronto. \n\nThe real discrimination is at the bottom of the pay scale where the people making the decisions are less likely to be university educated and more likely to be say a white forklift driver who came up through the ranks and has been promoted through length of service rather than and specific qualification. He is likely tp still hold on to that Èthey are taking our jobs È mentality.\n\nAnother thing to consider in this Ontario/Toronto employment thing too is this. Ethnic employers tend to discriminated HEAVILY against anyone who is not of their ethnicity. The Chinese hire almost exclusively Chinese, partly because they can pay them less than minimum wage and get away with it. Indian employers hire almost exclusively Indians for the same reasons but additionally because they can get away with any number of safety violations because Indian workers tolerate and in fact tend to violate those safety codes in a normal situation anyway.\n\nThe same with Portuguese construction workers, they can pay them way less, get them to violate construction codes and cut corner on safety without being reported by or having workers complain. Polish and Romanian construction workers the same thing.

Wtf. You don’t look like a god damn asylum seeker to me. What are you running from? How in the world would you & your family be considered ‘refugees’?! gtfo & abide by the rules the same way the rest of us do

Considering this is a CBC video that is funded by the government I would call this propaganda...

For the first group of 25000 Syrian refugees, many had very large families. As mentioned in the video, $50,000 depending on the number in the family, probably 8 or more, mostly children under the age of 17? Now add on the child care benefit. For each child under the age of 6 the family gets $6400 & those over the age of 6 to 17 they get $5400. So if you had 8 kids, 4 under the age of 6 equal to $25,600 & 4 over equal $21,600 & it's all tax free. Now add on subsidized housing, free health care, the one time setup housing money & the Government covered their transportation cost to Canada. Total $97,200, most of it tax free. Canadian Immigration Consultant considers this kind of family just above the poverty line. Remember this is just a scenario, but it does show the added benefit of our wonderful child care benefit for families.

Liberals are very easy to be manipulated because their politicians create policy based on emotions. However, when conservatives try and have debate the unintended consequences they are considered racists, homophobic, xenophobic and blah blah blah. The bottom line is, if you want to leave your country to come to any other country, DO IT LEGALLY!

If they've got nothing were does the money cum from to pay traffickers and were do they think they're all going to go Europe cannot take in every single one of these people and shudnt have or be expected too it just can't be done no room for them not enough money to support them which is wot most of them want we have our own problems to sort and our own people in need of help before we even consider helping others and besides we give enough in foreign aid every year were does that go if it was going to help these places they wudnt cum here why are we going without to pay billions to help other people in other countries it shud be coming here cos it's not helping them as far as I can see

Considering our biggest taxpayer funded TV station did a special episode on it, I think we could do a lot worse as a whole when it comes to racism.

on the same basis, you consider wearing g-strings and getting naked on the beach and jumping from one bed to another without preservation is freedom and good

Muslim refugees should go to Saudi Arabia or Iran “Where their radical beliefs are considered the norm”\nas Muslim immigrants “You can not impose your own rules (Sharia laws) in a culture that is not your own” this is what Canadians are worried about not immigrants

How are growing anti-islamic sentiments a concern? I think it's desirable for western societies to consider islam for what it is. A cancerous death cult with no place in a free society. It's the only way we will eventually be able to get rid of this filth.

To the hateful ignorant comments stating that isis is killing christians, yes it's true they have. However, they have killed far more muslims than the media publishes (go search about the Jordanian man who was burned alive) \nAlso, Mohammed might have married what is now considered to be underage, but let me remind you that it was over a thousand years ago. It was culturally acceptable even in the western world and Europe for girls to be married at a young age and to men significantly older. Argument invalid. Hate won't help anyone

im surprised this piece is pretty neutral and non biased considering its biased left wing media

Handling food with no gloves on.. in the US you would be closed down because that is considered a health violation.

At 5:29 the lady is asked why Muslim men don't have to cover up, and the Muslim lady replies that Muslim women are obliged to cover as a sign of high honor and respect for women. Pure BS! Muslim women are considered second class in Islam and as such are objects to be used by men in any manner they desire.

Consider that there are a rediculous amount of buildings in the GTA that wont allow anyone who is not Muslim to live there..

what an idiot. that woman has no idea about Islam aye? 'jihad is considered the 6th pillar of islam'?...is she even muslim?

1.6 billion idiots follow the teaching\nof a so called profit muhamed misspelled out of disrespect who had sex with a 9 year old child.who does that but a freak.shit-lam is a violent backward illiterate abnormal sex and death cult\nleave shit-lam in the middle east and africa where the 7th.century behavior is considered normal

Let us do some simple mathematics...\n\nThere are 1.6 billion muslims (supposedly) \nIt is pretty much common fact that 1% of the islamic population is considered a potential radical (that is just me being generous mind you...) Political correctness gets turned on its head and dropped here.\n\n1% of 1 600 000 000 is 16 000 000 \n\n.1% of 1 600 000 000 is 1 600 000\n\nThis is still enough man power to take over a good sized country or several at once. Consider how many men took part in operation Barbarossa and even operation Overlord during ww2. Or just look at the Battle of the Somme and Verdun. \n1 000 000 angry men vs 1 000 000 angry fanatics with little regard for their own lives can destroy an entire country or multiple countries within a period of a few months. Truely it would take a few weeks. \n\n(not the best analogy I know ... its all I've got at the moment...)\n\nHowever it is only when they are organized, armed and given some form of military training where those radicals become a serious threat.\nOr the men just have to be in decent physical condition and be capable of firing a gun whilst aiming at a target.\n\nEven 160 000 is enough to level or de-civilize a small country like Lebanon or Syria or Somalia.\n\nISIS is a mere example and yet, they have many supporters all over the planet including funding, weapons, training and other resources from the developed nations. They and other groups also have funding from the developed Arab nations and abandoned arms depots from the Soviet era. \nLets not forget how the United States didnt get rid of all of their weapons before pulling out...\n\nThey should have aborted this shit like a fat slut at the abortion clinic.

the reason why i hate islam is , they dont have universal acceptence , they consider there religion to be the only true religion and all others to be foolish

This points out to the ignorance and lack of any logical reasoning. These two (dubious) university graduates claim that 'hijab/niqab helps us come close to our religion', ridiculous . Also, they ostensibly beleive that their so called 'modern' religion of peace regards 'women'one notch above men....This cannot be equality. Also, it is the same religion which does not permit women to vote, does not treat women as 'full witnessess'...It means that a testimony of two women is considered equivalent to that of one man.... is this equality and fair treatment of women? Rubbish. \n\nMany religions have lot of such stupid stuff and all have changed with modern times and these guys are clutching hard to 1400 year old illogical traditions. For example, Indians condemned and discontinued widow burning long back, the western world predominantly Christian, has long back take a humane view of homosexuality ( no homosexuals are punished as per the Old Testament any more) and these guys are busy justifying outdated practices. \n\nBetter change with times or else face the brunt of being ostracized to reason you create yourselves. Nobody can help.

Love the video! It's interesting to hear your perspective now that you've been in the U.S. awhile. \n\nI would consider getting signed up for obamacare as soon as possible. It's not too expensive and even though you can be really careful it's definitely possible to get hit by a car biking or walking. The fees add up insanely quickly and you could owe a hospital tens of thousands of dollars from one emergency visit. http://obamacarefacts.com/obamacare-sign-up/

Let us look to reality of the total number of Muslims and how it is divided:\nthey said it is fastest growing religion in the World (they assumed is about 1.5 billion Muslims.\n\n1. 1/3 of that may be women which subdude by men & has 1/4 right if compared to man's right.\n\n2. 1/3 are kids just considered to be Muslims by birth\n\n3. 25 % of the Muslims are Shiah which the Suni considered the shiah are not true Muslim & vise verse.\n\n4. there are 10 % Ahamadia which the Suni & Shia considered the Ahmadia are not Muslim.\n\nSo, tell me how the Islam is the fastest religion growing in the face of earth.\n\nDo you know that in Egypt and Saudi Arabia the number of Atheists are growing from Islamic back ground.

WHY do none of our so called reporters never question these ppl on what is important to us, such us their feeling towards other religions, why we keep hearing their demands and rights as Canadians, yet constantly ignore, deny or even consider we might have the same rights. Compain of us showing any articles of religion, when those hajabs, burka's, etc. when those articles of clothing have no other purpose but religious beliefs.

We all know that Muslims consider the Quran to be true an they try their best to follow it so I ask did anyone read Dre Quran an all the peace loving things is tells Muslims to do or is everyone somehow missing that part ?
