Republicans have been saying this for hundreds of years and what do they get called, racist and xenophobic! Everything they’ve been warning us about is coming through under Biden. Look at the middle East again. It’s just sad that the one who speaks the truth these days is labelled as evil.

Why do you say empty apartments are owned by Landlords living in Chin? This is a very racist assumption. Why didn't you say they could be living in the Middle East or in India or just say they arel iving outsideCanada?

Building back better!!!!! hahahahahahahaahahah!!! Keep shipping them up to these sanctuary democrat cities! LMFAO! Elections has consequences. Open up your homes democrats or else you're a racist. Trump was right!

Racist question.

let's be honest as an international student I am in awe of how some internationals can study in Canada when they can't even speak English properly .. when I came here I needed to pass IELTS and get a band 7 for everything all my documents and transcripts were directly sent from the official email of my institution. I need to pass an exam before enrolling for my course, I have criminal, abuse registry, and child registry checks in my country and even when I am in Canada. Did all the immunizations needed and abide by their law i need to submit all these documents every 6 months access. to the policy of the program I am doing. And as an international remember you are coming to Canada they have their own culture so you need to respect and adjust to it, not Canada adjusting to you... even though Canada is diverse they have its own rules so yes adapt to the place where you are. And to them blaming the agency you the people who are using them knew exactly what they were getting into now you are complaining I did all my applications through DIY as IRCC is a direct applicant why need agents for application. Ircc should also question why a person needs an agent to process their applications. If they can't understand basic instruction and basic legal matters would you think those students will be able to survive the education system here in Canada? let's be real a lot of students are taking short-term courses, short like 8 months, and yes to get PR (I wouldn't lie cause that would be hypocrisy all international students have that aim, and if you say no just stay in your country). Now this a lesson to IRCC that they really need to make a thorough background before offering a PR permit ..and please when you are in public speak English respect the people around you... and don't speak too loud in your language when you are in working places.. uphold professionalism again remember you are in Canada a french English speaking country. And don't start with me about being racist.... cause it is plainly common sense.

anybody who voted for justin and regreted choosing the racist leader ? put the vote gere

Liberals love blackface prime ministers yet still point fingers and call others racist

Of course immigration is great for Canada. Only the racist freedumbers think otherwise.

Trudeau doesn't like immigrants. He's racist.

Why arent his clown supporters calling him a racist now?

It's not working when they all move to the same cities. South Ontario is so over populated. Especially Toronto. Where I live we are starting to get outnumbered. I know that may sound racist but if we can't even do things bc of international students that is a problem.

Lool when it comes to exploiting international students for labour and tuition fees, there is never a problem but when they stay and try to gain from the education they invested in, xenophobes and racists mask in their ‘ worry ‘ for Canada and target international students not their dysfunctional government…

Too much here, no housing, most of cities become housing student, noisy etc... the worst some cities most thing they are in their own country add listing for rent with a lot discrimination , bablah they want student came from India, it worse because we don t have that kind of discrimination in Canada when you go to Market place or KIJIJ lot of racists about student housing. Anyways its like the end of the world . I m tired to see these people bring that mentality in Canada. Too much here .

Yes, it is true ! An idealized view of Canada as a one of the best countries in the world is complete bull shit! It always was.\nI left Canada 30 year ago and never looked back. A cultural desert. No spirit, no soul except Quebec. But they are racists!

When war starts we strongly believes that mighty china will target usa mighty china no.1 enemy?. And then Canada also??...\nI notice people there is racist???...\nFor me I would wait till mightychina

instead of more homes we can finally say less people without being called racists? thank you cbc

To all the racists and islamophobes celebrating muslims leaving Canada, Islam is here to stay, western and native Canadians are embracing it.

Open the borders , open your homes, empty your wallets. Don’t be a racist. These well rounded critical thinkers are here to help us !

Only thing your accomplishing from leaving is making conservatives and racist happy

It happens depending on your area but the extent ya'll here in the comments think the profiling is racial, borders on fantasy. Awfully convenient when influencers or social experiments set out to record being racially profiled and the footage never fails to show that even once.\n\nI got homies like this who get tracked in stores an swear it's cuz their skin color. Yet I'm darker than them and when I goto the same places nobody cares. Either we have extremely specific racists here or the problem is them. That's pretty common too.\n\nI hate specials like this cuz they remove nuance and white people eat it up it while fear mongering our kids. These fools experiences in the video do not represent the majority of us.

Quebec want to be independent , racist little losers hahah

I’m surprised people wanna come here since America is so racist and oppressing.

Canada is expensive because of the high levels of corruption everywhere: Government and Public Works are a joke. For instance, to change a street light post they use two trucks with telescopic baskets; almost in all public works, there is a huge number of heavy equipment most of the time unused, or just mimicking work, and add to that that institutions don't work as you would expect (Health, Police, Media)... For those who came from developing countries, most likely there is more efficiency and modernity in those countries. The other big negatives are the lack of a national culture, inexisting trasport from big cities to small ones, and also too little social life in big urban places. Normal people would survive all of that and stay, but the wokeism, push of the transgender agenda, cancel culture and the stupid racist anti-racism inclusive trends, are unbearable for the average, normal person witch children. But not all is bad, Canadian landscape is beautiful...

I am a Canadian but I understand there is no such a thing as a perfect country . Having said that Canada is still one of the best places in the world to live. I see some Canadians saying they are happy you are leaving. These Canadians do not represent their majority of people in Canada. There are racists everywhere in the world including Canada. Have a good journey and find peace regardless of the country you choose to live.

I grew up in New York. Multiculturalism will never work. The people who promote and praise diversity are selling koolaide and propaganda. Remember the unspoken truth people, people of color are predjudiced too. And today they are more so, even claiming to fix racism you have to be racist?‍♂️

Yes depression very high and physical health problems due to the stress of life. Highly corrupt and selfish govt..i dont agree canadians are racists..i think they are highly taxed, struggling and feel that the govt is using immigrantion to support their own agenda and get support for socialism..

Its going to end one of two ways, civil war or the abolishment of the country. Being a white male in Canada is comparable to being Jewish in Germany in the 1930s. We have the most corrupt, racist, incompetent government the world has ever seen.

Let’s not circle the obvious here. These are the major problems in Canada that are greatly amplified and visible in the bigger metro areas:\n\n- Loss of economic opportunity due to the disastrous Liberal government policies of Justin Trudeau, with all the known bad social consequences.\n\n- Out of control immigration. Impossible for a country to absorb that many immigrants in a short period of time to make them productive and pay into the system.\n\n-Rampant and oppressive woke culture. If you disagree with it, you’re labeled anything from racist to transphobic. \n\n-Permissive liberal policies with drug abuse and mental illnesses.\n\n-Spineless Conservative politicians. This is changing, but boy is it taking long.\n\n-Canadian complacency and self-imposed politeness. The worst traits we have as a country. We basically don’t react to bad situations until the shit hits the fan.\n\nI’m hopeful for this country, but we still need to fall further down to do the changes we need to do.

What a stupid question. It's unbelievable that some western journalists actually believe that is a legitimate question. It's quite actually baffling that you begin to wonder whether it's a lack of understanding of the situation or simply a racist mindset that engenders all this

Saleh Family,\n\nSo many posts wishing you 'well' on your planned move but not one speaking out about your reasons or the discrimination you faced for wearing a Hijab or that Canada is supporting a Genocide.\n\nIt is almost like they are happy to see you leave because you are Muslim. Sorry to say that many of these 'wishing you well' posts are in fact clear proof of racist mindsets.\n\nIf they cared, they would have been sad that someone is leaving because they faced inhumanity.

toronto is racist, the people pretend to be nice, but they are all secretly racists and talk behind peoples backs

Get real, lady. Homelessness is a common unfortunate situation across the world. If you don't like my Country, just leave I won't cry. People like you like to criticize and criticize. So leave already and we won't have to listen to you. So now we are racist? anything else? The hijab is banished because the State wants to be separate from the church, any church. get away already.

Our people...sounds very racists.

AS a Native person I'm glad to see you leave, this is not the country for you , its cold wet, expensive and very racist. Try Australia, People love the tropics

New York is so racist for not letting these illegal migrants to stay and to not provide shelters for them. They go on about other countries being racist and how the border walls are racist but when they allow illegal migrants to come through they out right refuse to take them in. This is so evil.

Stupid, somewhat racist question. For someone not to realize that such a question is offensive, is mind blowing.

It’s so racist to say that it is the people who speak Arabic to take refugees.

Racist

So... Now that it's diverse, you don't want to be there. Racist.

Low job opportunities, expensive, and racist.

I hope it worked out for you man… as a Canadian, I can say that as much as Canadians love to pretend like we’re super open and welcoming, that’s largely not the case. I’ve witnessed some really disgusting treatment of immigrants first hand, and I have a lot of friends/ coworkers who are immigrants from Latin America and the Middle East, and I’ve heard a lot from them about the micro aggressions that they get from Canadians everyday, the dirty looks they get when speaking their native languages in public, and the immense pressure to assimilate. What you were saying about feeling like you’re always reminded that you’re an outsider in Australia, I also hear that a lot from immigrants here in Canada… I hope that Canada can be a better place for you, and you can feel more at home here, but the u fortunate truth is that the idea that Canadians just welcome immigrants with open arms and that everyone is welcome here is largely a myth… a lot of Canadians unfortunately are just xenophobic, racist, nationalistic dickheads and they’re not shy about it

These are the same media outlets that labeled you a “racist” for opposing open boarders. They changed their tune real quick as soon as it started affecting their inner circle. This is straight lunacy!!!!!

I see comments about the u.s. ... oh', so much better, lower taxes etc. Fact: in 2024, a nuclear family (2 parents, 2 kids) in the u.s. often pays over $2,000/mo, every month, just for medical insurance premiums. That is just another form of tax ... the cost of living.Tuition, far higher in the u.s. Property taxes, far higher. I lived in the u.s. for 20 yrs, and returned to Canada. And, Canadian society is less violent, less racist, more polite, more civilized, there is less social anxiety. If you don't like it here, go try America. Canada is among the best of countries with a higher standard of living for average working families, than in the u.s.

Amerikkka has a racist, feral pig problem. ?

What's wrong, Joe? Why does the policy change for Venezuelans? It's obvious that our president, Joe Biden, is racist. He holds something against Venezuelans. Why have the policies changed for Venezuelans? President Biden is racist

People are leaving Canada because of taxes and very rude and racist society. Also opportunities such as higher pay jobs are only given to family and close friends. Hard working and smarter individuals don't get nothing in return for their efforts and contributions

Glad to see you racists gone. Move to gaza

Imagine EU leaders saying we are sending back refugee back to their homeland and we will have racially motivated people saying EU is racists.

Racist

Why they coming to a racist oppressive country like America tho? Say the subsahran americcans losers
