I'm a proud Canadian Immigrant of Indian origin. I came here to do specialized studies in Game Development. I took my time, and studied 6 years as an international student, paying 3x the tuition, sank $200,000 of hard earned money into the Canadian Education system — Not as a fast track gimmick to immigrate, but so I could achieve my dream as a Game Developer. This money was family income, earned on 1/4th the salary, taking 4x longer to save. I was a great privileged to me. Today 15 years later, no one would ever think I'm from India. I sound Canadian, I behave Canadian, I have Canadian values, and I am Canadian. I came here because I loved Canada. I would watch hours upon hours of indigenous history, and on my Citizenship day, I watched Juno Beach to celebrate. However I must say this... I suffered through s*icidal depression here for 8 years, because I had far less leverage here than in a developing country, and it's really telling what sort of situation we're all in... Rent caps in Canada were removed... The housing market was open to foreign investors / and real estate monopolies with a 20% year-on-year rise... Rents went from 1000$ to 2100$ MINIMUM for a 1 bedroom through Trudeau's term and the govt said "It's not a federal responsibility"... Auto insurance is like 2.5-3.5k a year in Ontario and if you get a dent, you pay a deductable... I was quoted 8500$ for two wisdom teeth surgeries while it costed me 260$ abroad... During Covid - property owners, banks, and grocery stores exploited our misery and made record profits!... The govt stopped filtering through it's immigrants with "interviews", and it's operating like a scam — "Bring all your foreign money, convert it to CAD, and keep our GDP stable.. while we neither have the infrastructure, nor the job market to support these numbers". I think some accountability is due... these issues are "symptoms", not the problem — The problem is our Liberal govt / policies, and our wonderful voting body who voted Liberal term after term after term while complaining. Why does this govt safeguard extremism, foreign politics, foreign separatism? Khalistanis are as much of a threat / nuance to India than it is to Canada, but in Canada they actually have a unrestricted platform. Instead of resenting immigrants, we need to start resenting how mismanaged Canada is by our govt, and hold our voting body accountable. We had a chance to vote differently, but once again a repackaged and rebranded Liberal term. Because my ethnicity is Indian, I've become an object of collective resentment / hatred, and I don't think that's fair.. Please direct it at your vote, and govt level policies. Why should I (and other's like me) be crucified with the sins of other immigrants? It's like hating all your neighbors in a burning building, when the management has been lighting the fire.

"Immigrants are complaining about immigrants" that hit hard. What the heck is going on in Canada? I want my country back

We are being culturally destabilized on purpose. It’s an actual plan, look it up, it’s all part of the globalization agenda and the liberal government is directly responsible. When immigrants are complaining about immigration and new immigrants then obviously there is a huge problem.

It don't matter what anyone says cause Canadians are not going to listen, they whine and complain but they don't get off their butts and do something about it.

Ooh! Ooh ,HohOo!, Complaining in Quebec bout the language is not a good move! That’s gonna cause civil war you stupid immigrants! Learn the history of the country that welcomed you in.

They cry ,complain and vote Liberal every time!

$21/hour x 40 hours/week is a lot of money, and she is complaining. As a visible minority, who is probably 10 times more intelligent than this complainer,I wish I made that much.

White folks act like the world was made for them and for them only. White people are not indigenous to to Canada. Did white Canadians learn any indigenous languages? So why do they complain about assimilation? The world is changing.

The original immigrants complaining 🙄

We as Canadians allowed this to happen we didn't fight back for what was our right and now this has happened and ppl are complaining about it. if you want to fix the problem we need to band together and force the government to change.

If you voted Liberal in the last election, congratulations. I hope you are enjoying the suffering that you have prolonged on the rest of us. Don't bloody complain.

No doubt about it, Canada is for Canadians. If you wanted to, you could deport millions of immigrants, but let's be real about the cost. The Canadian economy, its pensions, its farms, and its health sector all rely on immigrants to pay taxes and fill jobs. It's not some big conspiracy about population replacement; it's just about the economy. You can't have one without the other. Canadians aren't the only ones dealing with this. In Asia and Africa, it's a different kind of immigrant, the ones with money who buy up land and property, driving locals out of the market. They're not given an ear either, because money talks. It’s always been about the money and the power, and Canadians should understand that perspective too. The culture or religion of a few bad apples shouldn’t be used to tarnish every immigrant. We do need to do a better job screening people, but it’s not fair to paint everyone with the same brush. In the U.S., Indian immigrants are top earners and incredibly successful, but people still complain that they’re "taking their jobs." So, if an Indian person is a failure, they're a problem. If they're a success, they're still a problem. They can't win. This old colonial mindset is alive and well. It's tough for some people to process that a person of color can outsmart them and rise up by their own bootstrap. But when those same folks go to Asia or Africa, suddenly they feel that old nostalgia and are much more comfortable with the social hierarchy there. It would be ideal if no one had to leave their home country for a better life. When we have more justice in the world for everyone, maybe we won't have to keep having these conversations.

Modern world people are slow I've seen this seen a research whats been happening as n immigrant in USA myself . People were rock to sleep by democrats n stayed silent for 5 years now complaining smh

There's many Canadians who are born and raised here and are thoroughly Canadian who aren't white, so I don't know why people think Canadians are just White and that just white people are complaining. Canadians are complaining that our culture is disappearing

Wow! Everything that the Canadiens are complaining about is the same complaints we in America 🇺🇸 have been complaining about for Years 😮

No body stop you to make babies.because you guys go against nature now complain from A-z ,seriously.

The actions of few spoiled Indians affect the entire Decent Indian community and India. Canada is in need of labour force due to less population and India has more population but insuffient jobs to engage people. If this scenario is reversed Indians would be complaining like canadians do. So the problem is not one way, just becos reducing immigrants does not solve the issue. people have to see things past nationality or physical identity into the statistics. even though canada has professionals of their own there are people who work with dedication and who work without interest, or recent generation being attracted to digital life instead of understanding that college degrees in mainstream subjects are what earns them job and also they have to show dedication and hardwork along with smart work, comply by the work place rules and so on... this goes to all invariable of who they are. all these started changing and now people instead of trying to correct these small changes that lead to these large issues of cost of living and low wages, have now started to pit against live people and their race, nationality or culture. There are good and bad people eveyrwhere, people cant justify the actions of drug addicts roaming the streets and that has increased a lot now, people acting violently against others just becos they dont have what the other has, and so on. but instead of addressing the high amount of actions that are happening around our own country, it has become easy to put blame on each other. I am not justfying the actions of these bad indians who has done these stuff. but we have to see the other side of it before making this a International Issue. Yes, few Indians are bad but not the entire community. Canada has its own needs that needs a lot of hands and support. So, only if we change our perspective beyond the emotional BS we exhibit, we can address the real issue with real solutions. BTW becoz of these things private companies are the one profitting not the Govt.

People looking at me like I’m a migrant and I’m First Nations frigging euro migrants complaining about migrants lol

Every one complains but does nothing gets done same shit last 10 years and counting

If only the indigenous/native populations were allowed to complain when those Europeans moved in…

I complain about getting waiting on CT scans and MRI scans appointments 4-5 weeks outs here in the USA. But 13 months for an appointment! That just makes no sense to live like that.

Its not just the new immigrants that makes issues. Early immigrants are the ones running all the frauds and businesses and mostly new comers are victims. They are the ones working in the government as well. Most people i work with me are early immigrants or second generation. They dont vote and shows no interest. All they do is complain. Even after 15 20 years they are not integrated in to canadian society.

Did anyone reach out to their MP? Please ask ChatGPT how to do that and just tell it your points, it will arrange the text. Yes your voice will be dismissed, it's not about you, it's about how many people will speakout instead of just complaining on youtube and tiktok and etc.

These Liberal nuts who complain will still vote Liberals

Why you let them in if that’s against your liking fools always complain after

Don’t vote for the people who are bringing them in why complain after

Complain when you start the problem not after when you can’t control it fools

But the immigrants don't assimilate with values culture religion and respect but what are they doing feeling entitled first than our local Canadian. Honestly most of them don't speak Canadian english don't know the jobs complaining more without common sense.

You guys just complain too much about everything yall live in Canada everything is available around you but yet can't get it, what about the people in Gaza that is starving to death and Yemen and Sudan what they can say about it

Those voted for Liberals again, dont complain, you did to yourself again. Nothing will change.

The same whyte Canadians who are complaining about indians are the same ones who hiring them.

I see whyte Canadians yes the same ones who complaining treat these indians with more respect than they do black Canadians, they would rather employ a indian than a black Canadian.

The guy who is saying he is a muslim and will take over this country he is not muslim he is hindu and Muslims will never ever say that. Muslims were in this country for 100years but never ever did anyone complain about them

writhe people want 35 dollars by h jobs, government want taxes to pay old populations on retirement, abusive landlords want 2600$ dollars monthly rent. i never hear an immigrant complaining. they all succeeded. Is very rare to se immigrants become drug addicts and homeless. That's reserved for the native and the white people. But they complain every day without looking to the mirrors 🪞. Immigrants keep Canada running. More you spend time complaining, more time you will be poor. immigrant succeed even with a 17 $ by h living in a 500$ room after 3 or 5 years they all have houses, nice cars, business and investment i the country. why local can not do it even whit a university degree? Because they are not strong to go work double shifts if need it. Why to buy a 1 million dollars house if you can not even eat correctly every day. The problem is that people live like king and they blame others like the new Inmigrants for their own choices. Have a humble life, respect everyone. And I promise you will succeed.

This is what the same people complaining but voted the liberal party back in power.

The only people who have a right to complain about immigration are the First Nations

Whyte Canadians created this mess, they thought could replace black Canadians in workplace with punjabi and it backfired now whyte Canadians are ones complaining about can't finding a job.

They shouldn't have come in the first place now Canadians have to waste hundreds of millions deporting them.If I was going to move to a foreign country I'd do research on jobs,housing,cost of living etc they obviously didn't then complain they can't make it.Go home.

Donald does not, nor has ever, understood politics or geo-politics. He approaches things as 'business deals' amongst businesses but Countries are not businesses. I have no doubt he is surrounded by people that have known these tariffs are a bad idea but are more interested in keeping their jobs than speaking up with knowledge and experience. Donald is a bully and you have 2 choices. Accept or take the gloves off. Donald is a twice impeached, convicted criminal. I hope the 150+ million that voted for him never complain about the hardships that are on the way. Donald has been authentic from day 1 of his first campaign. He's egotistic, narcissistic, arrogant, insecure, ignorant. I no longer buy American products nor will I set foot in country where half the population has no problem with his lack of empathy, lack of ethics, lack of morality. He isn't the problem so much as he has REVEALED a problem in American society.

Trudeau you're a PM and when you disrespect the president publically you disrespect America, so you have no right to address the American people. You don't know how to handle politics and thats why your own people have verbalized that they want you gone! Your lack of respect for the President and the United States is what put you and your country in this situation in the first place. Tou're leaving out on a low. Humble yourself and sit down and talk to the President, and address him as such, and he'll cut you a deal, and you can gain back some dignity. Otherwise, stop complaining to the world community. You look weak!

Next time a Canadian complains about their leader, let’s trade, we will even throw in Florida as a bonus.

Why is nobody talking about the insane tariffs that Canada has had on the USA? Almost 300% on dairy products and we're complaining about 25%? What am I missing?

Why you support US trade war with China previously, you are part of it, why complain now !!? You even detain Chinese telco CFO in high profile for US without hesitation, now you are enemy of 2 most powerful countries on earth. ???

What BS ! Are you familiar with a TV show, The Nanny?\nThis scenario is just like it.\nStop your complaining , and measure up for the good of all.

Stop complaining USA.

18:03 \nTarget: We’re paying tariffs due to purchasing from these foreign suppliers. We have a choice: Find a domestic supplier with comparable prices or pay the increase to tariffs or the smaller increase from switching to domestic. As such, there’s only one thing to do to maintain the profit margin. That thing is raise prices in our domestic locations.\n\nAlso Target: We could also make public statements about the products we sell and what it’s like trying to find an adequate domestic buyer — but if we say something that makes the President’s decision look bad, dear leader might do something even worse for our company and actually cause problems for the CEOs.\n\nStill Target: In the mean time, we’ll wait and see how loudly people complain about prices and wages before we do anything drastic (I.e., anything at all).

I've had a boss like Trump and a boss like Trudeau. The first like Trump yelled, complained, and whined over the smallest problems. The team, including himself, were miserable all the time. The second like Trudeau made the hardest problems easy to manage. He led, was transparent, and prioritized solutions over blame. I'm currently working for the latter and it's been multiple years of success. No one from the first team stuck around to sink with the ship.

We need to bring back jobs to America. Trump has clearly stated that those who come to America and make their products here will NOT face tarriffs. Toyota, Porsche, and Audi are doing it. \nAlso, it brings jobs to America. Why are Americans complaining about more jobs for their peers? Its crazy

Governor Trudeau, you have no right to complain. You have imposed illegal economic sanctions on other countries to please your bosses and the globalist elite knowing that what you were doing was illegal and unconstitutional just justified by economical and military power. Now suck it up and fight back if your bosses let you. Kissinger said loud and clear. Being usa friend is dangerous, being their boot licker is fatal.

aren't there ANY possible legal ways at all to stop them in their tracks?, english is not my first language and i learnt it late in life, but words like impeachment come to mind, along with criminal offences, felony charges for corruption, espionage and so on. Street protests?, mass complainings to your representatives?... i do not really know what you can do in your country (i'm in europe), but please do something, get your country back!... thanks for reading
