It occurs to me that this woman is self-deluded, selfish, afraid and punitive.

For 4 years Senate Dems were so afraid to do away with the filibuster. I'm giving 100 to 1 odds that the GOP will scrap it before the 4th of July, 2025.

CNN why are you saying now they are illegal when during Obama-BidenHarris you are afraid to use the word illegal .

I don’t support criminals, but I DO support immigration. Don’t be afraid ppl. You’re all welcome . It’s the “Land of the Free”. it’s not their land either. lol. it’s all a business for the republicans and for orange little man.. ? I approve this message!! ?

Woke virtue signalling liberals are afraid of an influx of illegal immigrants?!? Oh me oh my…

We should show them every season of Naked and Afraid XL to see what they think. ?

I’m afraid the Canadians might be too pleasant, intelligent and refined for me to deal with . . .

They should be afraid...VERY afraid.

Theyre dishonest.\nAt least my cuban stepfather was able to not hide the FACT he hated fellow immigrants because of politics.\nIts like his type is afraid that too many immigrants could mean less for them.\nImagine being that heartless Latino guy or girl.\nGross stuff.

This is not the Canada I grew up in. I am afraid our country is ruined. Thanks Mr. Castro.

Fascists have universal appeal to certain type of people. Be aware America ??, when the gestapo police with Red hat and may be black shirt from the “national security” investigators Mara Lago branch, they may have accent like those interviewed above. Also, the once guarding the secret jails. Be afraid. Good luck and good night.

ICE is afraid of babies and grandmothers

Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. The pro Trump whites don't discriminate between other races. They consider them all as unwanted immigrants that deserve deportation. Be afraid if you have a Hispanic look or name and roundups start. You might be the random fish caught in the net. Collateral damage so to speak.

Religion aside it's interesting that you say others are free to believe what they want and yet you're afraid of a drag queen who has a different belief system than yourself? Shouldn't we all love and care for one another regardless of differences? I don't know your family but I send my love and good wishes to you even if we have different beliefs.

i thought saudi arabia side is against Palestine somewhat was afraid of his answer but surprisingly he caught on to the zionist agenda to displace all Palestinians to other arabic countries n responded efficiently

If only the Arab world stopped selling oil in the west, the west would stop sending funds and arms to israel. It was like King Faisal did in 1970, before he was assassinated. Today Arab leaders are cowards. They are afraid of death. Remember, Arab leaders are complicit in the killing of Saddam and Qaddafi.

Sigh. So sad. Where did this one man get this power? Maybe selling your soul to the devil is a real thing but I hope when he shows up to collect it doesn't cost her life as well. \n\nI hope she realizes that any one of those Trump supporters would throw her under a truck just because she has a Mexican accent \n\n\n\nHer family members probably Don't speak to her because they're afraid she will turn them in

Hi sir, i have enrolled in an immigration agency, I'm getting afraid while the process going on for PR through them. I want to consult with you whether can we trust them or not. What can we ask them to trust if they don't have ircc license?

Because they're afraid they're going to lose power... there saved you 10 minutes

Why now ? Is the Liberal Government afraid the balance tilt in favour of the opposition party ? \nWhy to ban educated people, who share our culture and values, with good command of one of the official languages, to enter the country ? \n ....after importing by the millions those who are the opposite and are not interested in building Canada, but taking advantage of us and our generous system ?\nToo little too late trudy... even if you get the election by fraud again. You guys have already lost in the hearts and minds of Canadians ... for ever

Paraphrase of Liberals: Now that we destroyed the house & rental market with massive immigration, we are afraid of being thrown out so will pretend to listen for a bit.

She is afraid we will do to her what they did to the natives?

Where are they going to go? The UK? The USA? Australia? Or perhaps France?( if they speak the language) They will find the same problems. The right wing have convinced some that Trudua is to blame. It's capitalism eating itself that's to blame I'm afraid.

Hes too afraid to continue walking alone without protection.

Trudeau had done all this for his political benefits. He want support of terrorists to save his post as a Canadian PM. Five Eye countries are supporting him because BRICS summit is coming and so called superpower is afraid of it.

Trudeau is another woke fool who is too afraid to come out of the closet.....kind of like Starmer. Where are all the real men????? Canada and Britain need to get rid of these woke fools and their government media propaganda arms. Trudeau is doing this to distract from his corruption and criminal activity and his traitorous cabinet ministers working on behalf of CHINA!!!!

The same is happening in Germany. The worst is, that there is no one to talk about it. We had an amazing social system, which wasn't perfect, but surely working. Due to overregulation things are getting worse & worse. But instead of rational discussion, people are afraid & cling to more and more left uneconomic ideas, which leads to high votes in the left wing & the labour paries. Even ppl, who were former conservatives are now afraid & voting left or have leftist opinions.

So who are hiring them! Too afraid to go after the big companies

I am so sorry, as a native Canadian, that Indians are feeling attacked. It is difficult, no matter your ethnic background, if you are not Indian to even acknowledge these issues because people are afraid of being labelled as racist so I thank you for bringing this topic up. Please understand this is the result of runaway immigrations with no real screening. The government quadrupled immigration, hundreds of percents increase in students, asylum seekers, and illegal entries, even though there was already a housing crisis, and a completely predictable doctor shortage due to aging out. Covid was just starting to get under control but many still needed treatment and BOOM, the population went from 30 million in 2014 to over 40 million in a decade, most of it in the last 3 years. We native Canadians are scratching our heads, we don't understand what the Liberals are trying to accomplish but to create suspicion and racism between groups of people -- divide and conquer? Maybe...but ultimately it is a complete lack of planning! Still 99 percent of Canadian born do not blame Iindividual ndians for this. I've lived and worked with Indians my entire life of over 60 years. There are now Indian gangs, particularly Punjabi gangs because of lack of oversight, and while they are small they are constantly committing crimes, selling drugs, shooting people all in the last few years. I hear gun shots nightly in my ethnically mixed neighbourhood, and we are all afraid to walk at night. Unfortunately the people arrested are mostly from continental India. Some have a political agenda that has to do more with India than Canada, so they recruit young Indo-Canadian children from good families and tell them they are being oppressed, and next thing these kids are acting as drug mules and enforcers, being told that they are fighting systemic racism. As for dancing and music, I love the cultural events, we are happy to see and even take part in Indian cultural events. IWhen I do hear people blaming India and Indians it breaks my heart too! Hopefully together we can fix this. Our governments are at odds, and I hate this -- they need to respectfully talk and work this out. You are good neighbours, good people, you are welcome here and have helped build Canada in so many positive ways. ?

I am sorry to say. This is not India problem. This is a Punjab problem. I have a few rentals and these peoples from Punjab and North India ( delhi, haryana, UP) especially young ones don't follow any rules, they think they can do whatever they want and aren't afraid of laws.

We need a PM with a set of balls that's not afraid to say what's on his mind and not just read off the cue cards, don't be fooled by Poilievre he's just going to flop like the rest of them

What kind of Palestine Arab? Why the Arab countries were so afraid of the Palestinians to settle in their country?

Are you kidding? The Saudis taking in Palestinian refugees? They are so afraid of their idle lazy oil-dependant dictature being overthrown by radicals they are afraid of their own shadow. \nRemember Jordan and Black September. King Hussein almost overthrown by the Palestinians (they remain 80% of the Jordanian population, a time bomb...).

Looks like china is afraid of brain drain. They created this video to tarnish Canada reputation to discourage us from moving to Canada. My Hong Kong friends migrated to Canada all said living in Canada is so much better as long as you don’t live in the ethnic slums. They could easily got a job and enjoy the public health care system. And we can rely on the government for our retirement.

He has a point.They can pressure Hezbollah and Iran to back off. I believe Palestine was offered their own state 5 times and they refused. Seems Palestinians need to compromise. They were offered their own land, place but too afraid to do it on their own. Look, all countries will support and help them establish but they refuse so conflict will continue

I don't understand..\nThey came here to study, but now they are afraid to go back to their country for whatever reason conjured up (most likely closer to graduation time)?

Every democrat should house one of these illegals. Fund them fully. You want them here... support them financially on your own. None of them look afraid or like they are fleeing danger. They are all willing to fight to get into the USA but not willing to fight against their alleged oppressors in their home of origin.

I can tell you one of the major reasons. It is the fact that these immigrants from India do not want to assimilate into Canada. Instead they bring their ways with them into Canada and some of those “ways”, are not acceptable in Canada. One example of that is the whole using the bathroom on the beach. But one that hits hard for me is the insane amount of immigrants that are harvesting spawning salmon with nets, without any of the properly paperwork that is needed to fish salmon with a rod. Using a net is illegal, I know they know it because when I catch them doing this. They become quiet and all of a sudden, after hearing them just speaking English, they pretend they do not know English… I can tell you this is all true. The other thing I have seen with my eyes is shop lifting from the local grocery store. I have never seen that before, not ever in all my years living here. It would be somewhat different if they were stealing essential items and essential foods. But they are not doing that, they are stealing all the luxury items. I am a white Canadian and I am proud of it, but guess what. I am also proud of the fact that I have a doctor that came from India and his family is thriving here. It makes me proud that he chose our country try to come to, with his educational background, it also makes me proud that he and his family have taken the time to try and assimilate into our culture. When I say assimilate by the way, I do not want them or and immigrant to completely abandon their cultures, I just would prefer it if they assimilate to the point where we can have a healthy community instead of all these separate cultural areas in our towns and cities. I love the fact that you spoke some harsh truths here sir, much respect to you and your family sir. I hope you can continue making such informative videos for people to learn from. The other thing I have to add is that the word racism is thrown around too much and too easily in our current woke cultural climate here in Canada and this is just making the immigration issues worse because it produces a culture of fear for those Canadians that would like to help educate those immigrants that need help. But they do not do so because they are afraid of being labeled a racist or some other word and having their livelihoods and overall lives ruined. I am in a position in life where I do not care if people want to say such things about me. I am also well educated and in the position to come up with well articulated arguments in my defence. My main issue with immigration that bothers me more than the rest not only affects us Canadians but also affects the immigrants as well. Ok so before mass immigration was a thing here in Canada our healthcare system that we all used to be extremely proud of the as showing too many cracks and we knew it was falling apart. You think the government would place more funding into the healthcare system. Well that has not happened and if anything they have taken more funds away from our healthcare system than any other time in our country’s history. So before the mass immigration begun we had a major issue with having way too many patients and not enough medical staff to adequately treat everyone in a timely and healthy manner. So now think about that, the healthcare system was already stressed with the current population before mass immigration. How do you think adding waves and waves of more people every year via mass immigration is affecting that system? The answer is this… if the system was stressed beforehand, it is collapsing now. I am one of the lucky few that has a family doctor right now. It takes three months the just for me to see her… If I have an emergency and have to call 911, the ambulance will take me up to the local ER and then I will be wheeled out to the waiting room, which defeats the purpose of me calling 911 for a ambulance. I have waited two days at the local ER just to see a doctor. So here is where it affects the immigrants coming in. If a Canadian that was here before you is already having major issues with the healthcare, then I can only imagine how hard it will be for a new citizen to our country, nuff said really… the local er near me had a person die in the waiting room this past January. Add to this fact that I am actually pretty sick at the moment and so are my parents and you can understand why I am upset about our failing healthcare system. The politicians do not have to worry about our such issues though because they can afford to pay to go outside of Canada and pay cold hard cash for medical treatment. That is why they do not mind removing funds from our healthcare system, it will not affect them and they get to line their pockets with more of our tax money… I honestly place most of the blame for what is going on right now on Trudeau’s government and not the immigrants. The immigrants could help make this crappy situation a lot better for both of our parties though if they tried a little harder to adapt to our ways of life here. When in Canada try to live like a Canadian, I do not think that is asking much. Again, as for racism, I believe in judging a person by their actions and not by the colour of their skin. Racism is such an antiquated way of thinking… Our skin colours maybe different, just like our cultural backgrounds, but after all is said and done we are all members of the human race. Cheers all!!!?\n\nP.S. There is one other reason that hatred towards member of your country is going up and it is simply because our hatred for our own government is so high right now and we are all only human. Some of us lash out at people that do not deserve it when we are really upset. That doesn’t make it ok. But I know that the fact that we Canadians hate our government more than ever right now, is due to the simple fact that our own government is not listening to our issues and what we want done with our country. Then that same government will labels us as right wing extremists simply for the fact that we no longer support our current government for example. Canadians are more angry now than they have ever been. The RCMP have been advised about this across the whole of Canada, so you know it is a real issue. I can control myself and will never snap at others due to how frustrated I am, so I would like to apologize to those of you that may have a bad experience with another frustrated Canadian. This is really not our normal behaviour. We’re are all stressed out and being called the bad guys by our own government just exacerbates the whole issue. Again, cheers to you all!!!

Seems like CSIS is a part time job n even they r afraid of going after muslims?

YGood day. For from context I'll reveal a little about me. I am around 27% Indian, 34% northern African people which is around 61% combined. My other ancestry includes Wales, Sweden, Norway Scottish and Irish, Hebrew/ jew as in from 12 tribes of Israel, However, the world calls me black Jamaican born. I live in small town with population under 41,000 people in northern Ontario Canada for past 21 years. I remember when I came here with company contracted to build and say very few black people mostly French African and some mixed black with some Chinese probably total under 20 people other than white or indigenous peoples. Over the years was steady increase of black, Chinese, Philippino, and my Indian doctor and his family to maybe total around 50 none white none indigenous peoples. Just before pandemic we had a large number of Indian students which was awesome to see considering my heritage as my grandmother on dad side was Indian. But a year before pandemic we noticed many started working in convenient stores and fast food places like most high school students do to save for college/university which was becoming a problem for Canadian students as some employers got incentives or cheaper labour to maximize profits. As pandemic rolled in so it seems more Indian students from other regions in Canada. So, Canada, Ontario, and small town I reside already had huge housing problems as some homes we even to be condemned and indigenous homeless from north increased crime rates and now we had students living beyond building code occupancy with shared living causing rentals to shoot up in prices as landlords became greedy and selfish. This small town of under 41,000 is by some estimates over 55,000 by increasing Indian students who for past 5 years fighting to get permanent residents even though they came as students which proves the goal was always invasion and coming as students was the ticket. If you and rest of new immigrants don't see the problem yet, I'll continue. 95% of taxis have Indian drivers, 98% food and other delivery Indian, 90%+ convenience and groceries, clothing and all stores 90%+ , vehicles on roads 70% Indian, my son barely got into college with 90%+ Indian population in college and his class is 2 white students, himself only mixed , and 2 Africans and 22 Indian students who cheats on a regular basis but professor afraid to confront as they are quick to call racism. But even bigger for me is these Indian students/new immigrants have no respect for the history of Canada and USA not knowing how indigenous peoples were raped tortured and murdered to take over this country and then enslaved African people to build this country while they raped tortured treat less than animals and still suffering with fighting for equal rights for over 400yrs while still being racially profiled and beaten and murdered by police officers because of this colonizers system. Now you come here and benefits from black and indigenous peoples struggles and claiming rights when you have not been fighting the battles with us or for us. Also, the criminal aspects of your community is not being taked about as well which includes extortion to businesses owned by Indians, car thefts, drug trafficking, human trafficking and other criminal activities. There's so much more than just saying you feel unloved by the people you're taking things from for their children and grandchildren and generations without showing any respect as that is defined as selfish. You and many new immigrants forget this is not India and expect everyone to bow to you and that is what we are against. i Have some awesome friends that are new immigrants and are respectful and want to learn about history and current events and impacts they have and how to reprove Canada not destroy Canada

The rich are afraid in their own communities of their fellow countrymen that they are being exposed for hoarding their wealth.They allow masses of immigrant families to invade who will work for less and it undercuts the working class any power to leverage higher wages.

I AM NOT INDIAN AND I AM AFRAID TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL!

Islamaphobia would be a thing... If a) there wasn't legitimate reason to be concerned and b) if I was actually afraid of Which I'm not

Ha! Is anyone surprised?! \nFor the last 2-3 decades Canada transformed from a great widely recognizable country of prosperity and freedom into almost its opposite. And I'm afraid that in a few more decades it will become a sort of trash state, so that the Canadian border will draw more USA security attention than its south neighbour.

Frankly why has Canada allowed in SO MANY people from a few specific countries under the pretense of studying if the gvt knows so well that is not what many if not most intend to do in the first place? It is like the government is afraid of a massive demographic bomb down the line and won't shut the faucets....most who stay will not leave major metro areas or move to underpopulated regions adding to unsormountable housing, health services and cost of living woes for the foreseable future if not forever, it is not the 60s or 70s anymore but gvt pretends it is...the tragedy of a 1st world leader devolving into a 3rd world haggard.

I migrated to Canada when I was 9 (I’m not Indian). I feel Canadian and I am now grown and have my own children. I am afraid the Canada I know is gone and my children will feel like outsiders growing up and in the future. This will create a huge demographic change in one direction and I’m afraid of what the consequences will be.

They gonna lie there in that lot through out winter?\nIf you are not articulating anything, may be you know you are ILLEGAL and afraid to give it away on camera and just standing there to protest thinking contributing to the number game as just another protestor would make the wrong, right.\nAnd if we assume its so racist, why are they still willing to be here ?

Because of how Indian drive in this country my wife is afraid to drive

As a Chinese immigrant, I have to say that Canada needs to evaluate the quality of new immigrants. For the past 20years, large amount of Chinese immigrated to Canada, 50% of them are wealthy, and brought millions billions of dollars to Canada, especially a lot of rich students who are willing to consume and pay taxes. The other 50% are not that wealthy, but they are working hard while not breaking the rules. Most importantly, they don’t take shit on the beach, and they are afraid to break laws!
