We are in such a dark age that people (who are pretending to be highly educated) need to be taught that a group of people deserve to live in peace in their own land ... \nThis reporter question is extension of the Zionist propaganda that trying to dehumanize our Palestinian brothers... The answer of the minster was clear and direct but I was there I would ashamed her for carrying such Nazi propoganda and exposed her so she won't dare to repeat that stupidity anymore

What an idiotic question, this question is common in the west by the way. The colonisers are trying to guilt trip others into helping them with their ethnic cleansing!\n\nThe Arab world has let the Palestinians down by not standing up for them. At the same time the only one to blame is Israel and the US because if the Arab and Muslim world stood up then we may be in WW3. This is a lesson for humanity, we have come to the brink of a world war just because one country wants to clean people native to the land by killing them and removing them from their land.\n\nLuckily we believe in Allah and we know Allah won't let oppression go on forever and definitely not let oppressors go unpunished.

The reason why we're shaming our muslim countries leaders and asking them to intervene is because western actions tell us that they don't have any morality. But western hypocrites don't have any right to tell that to others. These shameless people just want a W A R so that they can get a reason to call Muslims T-word. And again What's even the use of UN.

So many Americans are one paycheck, from being homeless,and these people want America to house and feed them with welfare ,Medicaid and government homes HELL NO!!!!!!

We often hear that there is a labor shortage in Canada. True, but the available jobs are Mcjobs, which would not enable a single person to rent a one bedroom apartment in my city. Lots of young people depressed...

What has happened in Canada is actually quite simple. Companies sell products and services. Companies require employees in order to sell those products and services. The difference between what the companies can those products and services for and what they pay the employees is profit. The owners of the companies want to maximize this profit, therefore want to pay employees as little as possible. Scarcity is labour is one of the driving factors behind what employees are paid. One way to decrease scarcity of labour is to bring in massive amounts of immigrants. That is exactly what Canada has been doing for decades. The owners of the companies take profits and invest it in real estate. This makes real estate unaffordable for the employees whose wages have been suppressed. Lower wages also means less money from taxes available for services like health care. We allowed our politicians to be bribed into allowing massive levels of immigration. Stagnant wage growth resulted in lowered consumptive capacity in the economy. This lead to stagnant economic activity and lowered investment into things that would make the Canadian economy more productive. What we have now is unaffordable housing. Lack of jobs. A failing health care system. An educational system where the bar was lowered to accommodate the lowest common denominator. Increased crime and substance abuse resulting from the subsequent hopelessness. Several families living in a single house. People working several low paying jobs just to try to get by. People with full-time jobs that are forced to choose between being homeless or starving to death. The immigrants that are still coming here are sleeping on the sidewalk in front of homeless shelters, or maybe scraping by delivering UberEats.

Ok hold on a second. Im an offshore person who wants to immigarte to Canada. Ive spent a huge chunk of money for IELTS and Evaluation of my education solely for thst purpose. How the greedy landlords manipulate the market is not being talked about enough. Your government decides to increase immigration because you guys have been complaining about labor shortage. And when people actuallt went, you started blaming them for driving the housing price? The majority of immigrants are living off basic salasy at an entry level job, are you sure they are the major driver?

Hold on a second you little Asian Doll?I have to take Canadas side and Americas side.You see, all Americans and Canadions are made up of people that were either exiled from Europe and Asia and took vengench on the true native of that land.In the end the invader distroyed the savage indians?At lest i think they think they did???Why i saw one the other day or i think it was one he was collecting tickets maybe you might know him??He had eyes like one of you guys,they say you guys are related by DNA??That one seemed like a nice guy??????????But i aint gonaha turn ma back onum thats what ma paa says??????????

And all of that without mentioning the scariest stuff the ppl on the Top can do to thousands of ordinary people with 1 button press.? That's horrific.

Its interesting that as soon as the US government decided that monopolies where great, things started to fall apart here too. Housing prices are out of control, and homelessness is increasing - along with laws victimizing homeless people. Its like the people who run these companies are mentally ill. They want customers and employees, but they do everything they can to destroy or drive away everyone who could become a customer or employee.\n\nI was lucky to buy something before housing prices went insane. But now there's no way to move anymore because renting is too expensive, and investors just out bid everyone and drive up the prices. I really prefer renting, and I used to always move to be near my current job. But for my next job I would have to waste 15 hours a week to drive to a job I could do just as well at home. If I didn't have family here, I would leave.

What about thousands of family going instinct with no question ask. Nothing. The country is dying under our eyes for decades and it's business as usual for those governement officials. Stay away from Canada people. No country for no men.

Canada is turning into a Communist Country, hence people are heading towards places where they will have more freedom.

The immigration is so flawed, only skilled immigrants are coming where jobs are so competitive. We need to get more trades people.

Chinese and Hong Kong’s affluent people have been buying up houses in Vancouver and Toronto. Canada has the most timber and plenty of land. Why not build more houses?

Very interesting analysis. As a US investor in Canadian companies from Florida, I like see whats happening up there. \nThe comments seem to reflect my own fb in the US....people complaining about high prices of housing and food. This seems to be an OECD post pandemic phenomenon. \nI will say, if you can invest in your monopolies and oligopolies, you will do well. Canada has some of the best, safest and conservatively run companies and banks. \n....and while you may complain about your health care, here in America, everyone lives in fear of getting sick and then being wiped out financially.

Why these people don't do this in there country fight back against their own government

I feel so bad for these people the dem r exploit these people for political gain and most of them f going back eventually

I think it's great that people who don't love Canada are leaving. We don't need you. I'm working to change things, to improve my life in Canada. One improvement is to reduce the crowding. If you're just here to economically exploit the country, then I'm glad you're leaving.

To people looking for a livable city, try checking BGC in Manila, Philippines. I'd dare say it's the best cosmopolitan place to live in under $1500.

Like the grocery giants, many native Canadian workers are incompetent. But when they face challenges, people start whiny.

I came back after 20 years in the U.S. I don't know which one is the most messed up. Canada is not like it's used to be, and not for the best. This mass immigration, post-national nonsense is destroying the country. People come in just for the benefit without feeling the need to integrate.

I'm an Indigenous Canadian and I don't want to live here. Canada is a good place to live for rich people though. If you come from a poor family it truly sucks. Can't wait to finish university and move out of here. ?

Unbelievable need to stop this mess, quickly, go back to your county, make your government do the right thing for the people

I left years ago. Best move ever! Crazy expensive, WAYYYYY too 'woke' and pretty much a Communist state. What they did to their own people in COVID is criminal.

People who do not have a deep legacy of culture, class and sanskar usually indulge in this behavior, very common thing with neo rich, neo educated indians. Education has brought them money but they couldn't buy class.

This is kinda stupid now.. why wouldn’t they go through the same process like everyone else? This is madness! Those people are so hardworking but why won’t they use the same energy to work on entry the legal way? On a side Note, the Chinese immigrants are probably amongst these chaos and they are still bad mouthing the US.

Great geography, mid-level people, junk government?

Some people are smiling...wtf

I can't stand this place and especially people! It's sooo dreadful, if I spoke truthfully the comment would get auto deleted. So since it turned out to be the polar opposite of the propaganda and how Canadians talk about themselves to the world (and the type of immigrants who fled poverty and had absolutely nothing back home and for whom Canada is actually an upgrade of sorts), I'll just use Canada as a stepping stone to get back to the US where I studied and got all my degrees and the place was infinitely better than Canada in almost every area. And there people are actually normal, like they'll talk to you, invite you to their home or to go out, make sure you aren't alone for Thanksgiving, etc. In Canada there's none of that, you're on your own! To me living in Canada is a nightmare!

How many people were killed in Ireland with the knife

Great job Biden administration keep saying there's no open border or crisis going on. This is what happens when people vote with emotions instead of logic

Immigration is not the problem, foreign intervention is,and we just stood around as our government announced that they are aware of Chinese spies within our government…Canada had a declining birthrate, we can’t keep up with our NATO budget and are about to get kicked out, we have a lack of infrastructure, “let them eat cake” but instead of cake it’s taxes to “save the planet in 100 years” Canadians are gonna save the world okay…. Immigration is not the problem. Our way of governing and our entitled upbringing have resulted in this problem. We just go oh well okay that sucks.\n\nWe have lots of workable land, oil,raw materials and lots of it, in an area that is very livable compared to say the Amazon. Did you really think the world is just gonna let us hide it away to have something pretty to look at while the world starves? Sure we don’t have to care and it’s not our problem to police the world, But eventually they will want what we have. It’s not immigration it’s foreign intervention and “investment” other nations and the UN will cry and say it’s not fair that we keep it all undeveloped. And they are right, it’s not fair… for the people who already live here, not for the ones you want to setup a work Visa for.\n\nWhy do you think the west and russia are fighting for Ukraine, we know it’s not for justice or the children like they say by now. It’s about Ukraine produces most of the world grain.\n\none day it will be us.

Too many coming from India. Need to decrease immigration and take care of the people already here.

Immigration of anti-Canadian cultures and people with zero trade / craft is detrimental. We love our foreign doctors, nurses, and talented future Canadians. Immigration lottery does nothing to match people with needed industry sectors. The goal now is to import uteruses for the pyramid scheme economy, which isn't working.

If u don't have enough housing for people already hear then common sense is not enough for more

There are essentially two major problems when discussing this issue. First and foremost, it is VERY difficult for anyone to even attempt to bring up an intelligent argument because they are instantly branded a racist, so many people just keep quiet, which is not healthy in a democracy. Secondly, when examining the world as it is today, the inescapable fact is that the nations with a high standard of living and a truly democratic system simply cannot sustain the rest of the globe!! It's simply a numbers game, if we gradually permit the rest of the world to bring it's problems here, the outcome is predictable. I'm sorry but I feel that it's a terrible thing when I go out and almost ALWAYS notice that I am a minority. I don't care what your politics are, that is just wrong. And the aspect of that is most unfair? The countries where these people came from would NEVER allow that to happen. In fact, most often we are not welcome in those countries at all!

What frustrates me is that people who have been sounding the alarm about this for years have been written off as racist. I love our cultural diversity but its not a hill that we should die on for moral righteousness while the people who are already here suffer.

People who buy multiple properties and charge insane rental fees are a problem.

You don't need polls for this.... how about people adopt our culture when they immigrate instead of destroying it as well?

People who don't want to assimilate to Canada's Judeo Christian values have no place in Canada.

The Canada I knew is long gone , we have an out of control government that is not working for the people and how to get out of this mess , we have to wait 2 more years this gives pretty socks time to really hurt the country

Immigration is great. Legal immigration. But even then you have to have the resources and if you don’t you will cause undo stress on all of society. Keep voting for Trudeau and Sing. They will for sure keep immigration up high. Those tent cities should all be moved to liberal and NDP properties. Their personal property so they can take care of the people this winter. They should be forced to take in immigrants at the homes to give them shelter food and conveniences at their expense instead of ours.

after the plandemic it all went crazy because the governments printed money and paid people to sit at home!... now think about it, no production but plenty of consumption.. ergo ....Inflationary\nbottom line is if you took the money, stayed at home /took the jab/wore a mask ... then YOU are to blame for the current situation

You forgot to mention the extremely toxic work environment at least in healthcare where I was employed although I did work in retail for awhile which was just as bad. The backstabbing is unbelievable especially if you're new to the area. Smaller towns are not friendly and even if you're only from the next town over, you are looked as an intruder. I'm happily retired now and avoid people as much as possible, this from a person who was born right here in Ontario. But you are spot on, Canada is not a place I would choose to live and my parents regretted ever coming here from Europe sucked in by the preception that Canada was the Land of Milk and Honey.

Corruption and Population Pressure ,,,,,,,,,,??‼️ 145 crore Population ➗ by the Natural Resources.........!!? HONEST Leadership .....!!? Secondly Why a Rush for BACK To Those People ......!!? To whom,,, once We Said , Simon commission Go Back ??????

These videos are SO funny. All those youtubers who whine like children about living in Canada are still there. Baby cryers. Canada is NOT a prison. It is not like the former Soviet Union that people were not allowed to leave or North Korea now. If you don't like what you have , then move to another country. Plain and simple and stop whining.

From asia, My sister have a PHD credential, even i used to encourage her to seek for a better quality of life in this country, bcoz the good opportunity in Singapore is packed, no more good job left, so i always encourage her to go canada, except for canada, I can't think of a good place for her to go... United States is too dangerous for the people like my tiny sister, many Australians are racist to Asian, so my final result will always been canada, there's no more option for Asian...i speaking the truth.

Don't leave. Situation is worse outside. People don't understand what they have and jump into a worse place.

People from Middle Eastern countries can come to Western democratic nations in large numbers and vote fair and peaceful minded politicians out of office. Can members of Western societies go to the Middle East in large numbers and vote dictators and tyrants out of office? No, we cannot. That is the West's weakness that Middle Eastern countries are trying to exploit and how they are eventually going to conquer Western nations. The West is going to have to wise up or Western nations will be conquered by their own legal immigration laws.

Actually, the fact that there are so many agencies that supposedly help homeless people doesn't mean that help can be accessed so easily. In fact, there is an extreme shortage of housing in Canada and all shelters are full, mentally ill and homeless folks can not be placed in regular shelters, the right approach would be rehabilitation centers. Unfortunately, rehabilitation centers are for profit. \nSo it's hard to say what exactly they are spending those billions on.
