That’s why we should have spread them out. If you give them an enclave they’re not gonna assimilate. God I fucking hate trudeau.

north Indians from Punjab and Delhi assimilate a lot. They are known in India to be very aggresive and unkind types

They are so fake, they get subsidized to go school. They are such liars. They don't give a shit about Canadians. They're all about taking over Canada. They don't need to go to war to take over our country they just assimilate and take it over. Why don't you go look at the Companies they work at and see if they have any Canadian working there.

So I reside in Ontario, I live in a city they call the armpit of Ontario. And everytime I come to this restaurant (I dont want to say what restaurant but if u ask id tell you) - I would see a lot of them coming in by groups and they wear clothes like they still live back to whatever country they are from and would sit on their chairs cross legged as other people eat their food. Every hour theres dozens of them coming and I came to think are these people even legally here. It is just crazy to me as a legal immigrant where me and my family waited for 8 years for the application process, spent hundreds of thousands of money meanwhile I see people that arent from here and not even try to assimilate to Canadian culture. It is just infuriating.

Immigrants who refuse to assimilate shouldn't be there.

When came as a 5 year old 50+ yars ago my family and I were accused of not assimilating so not much has changed. I've got kids half my age telling me to assimilate

It saddens me for what this country has become. When I first came here, I saw the potential of what I could do in this country but that is not the case anymore. I, amongst many immigrants from India, try every bit possible to assimilate in the society and believe me we have, almost at par with Canadian values. However, post-covid, everyone seems to judge every east Indian on the same grounds as outlined by the speakers in this video. My opinion is, people who do not respect the laws and traditions of this country should go back to their countries (regardless of who they are) and do all your propaganda there especially all the international ones. Like I came here for a better future and I feel I am getting a worsened experience due to all this toxicity for colored people and their behaviour of course.

The problem is they refuse to assimilate and embrace western culture or the culture of the country they immigrated too. This is what infuriates the citizens of the host country. We do not care if they have their traditions, we care that they try to make our country just like the one they left.

1 in 4 Canadians is an immigrant. Good. There is nothing wrong with that. The problem is the crux of this video: The Lack of Assimilation.

Our so called leaders have criminally let down Canadians! A complete giveaway without Assimilation requirements? How does this benefit Canada or our social system. They’ve contributed nothing all on assistance from funds and programs designed to support us Canadian citizens. 🤬…

13:44 - “it is great. It’s like you’re sitting here in your own home town”. That’s exactly the problem. It’s not your dump hole home town. They don’t even care to assimilate. They only serve themselves and help themselves.

I was born and raised in Brampton (but of South Asian descent via the Caribbean) and it pains me to see how the city has changed over the past 20 years. I was raised to be a proud Canadian and to be grateful for the opportunities that this country has afforded my family and I. I am a Canadian first, and Guyanese/Indian second. The issue I have with the city is that you have enclaves of ethnically homogenous people who refuse to assimilate - I once went into a Tim Hortons at Peter Robertson and Dixie, and was laughed at by the cashiers because I could not speak Hindi/Punjabi (despite being brown). There is nothing wrong with immigration - it makes the country stronger. HOWEVER, that only happens if the immigrants work to collectively advance the interests of the country and accept the rules/societal norms of the country they now call home. Instead, they find ways to circumvent/exploit the system - they are less interested on making society better, and more interested in individual advancement. I live in Professors Lake, which historically was one of the more affluent areas of the city. Now, there are several houses on my street that have essentially become boarding houses, divided into units of four with 10+ people living inside. I fully understand why white Canadians are feeling displaced, and it pains me that anti-immigrant sentiment has soured the way people look at me (despite being born in Canada).

Nah, man send them back.  If you don't assimilate, you don't belong there.  Simple. Applies to anyone moving anywhere.

This stuff is so overblown. Indian people are cool, they'll become fuuly assimilated Canadians in a few generations. "White" Canadians today count as people from all over Europe, when in the past they were all different and all fear mongered about each other

Im sorry for the earlier Indian immigrants who did assimilate and now India has found them to swamp them yet again

One thing that disturbing people all over the world is how Indians don't want to assimilate but keep on living in isolation and stop integrating with the local population.

This video sounds very racist, I grew up here since 1989. The video is a bit extreme, but there is definitely a lack of assimilation. But the same goes for the native communities, we just put them in the middle of nowhere and killed their kids in schools centuries ago. Canadians let them get addicted to drugs and let their communities crumble. Now when a community shows up with a harder WORK ETHIC than the locals, THERE IS A PROBLEM???? Its called Getting on the GRIND. But @6:40 Not all the Kids... but a good portion are TAKING AWAY OUR IDENTITY. I work with some amazing humble guys from India... but the same does not go for the rest.

The problem is the don’t assimilate. They stick to their own and only speak their language! They should have all just stayed in Indian! 🤮

I can understand the immigration problem in your country. The problem I have is where people would use immigration as a cover for being racist. If you want to assimilate immigrants in your country, it would take a while. They will need time and patience. Likely their children will be more assimilated if they were young or born there. A lot of immigrants who are white in your country and your history likely took time for them to assimilate. But their children were likely already assimilated. Also, don’t blame the immigrants for the actions of your government. And yes, your country is changing and it happens all the time when you are nation founded by immigrants. For some of you who think the system isn’t working I get that. But for those who find it a problem when they are not white, just say it.

Yup, no assimilation whatsoever.

Old man, it isn't about color of your skin. It is about your culture that's not compatible with ours. You didn't come here to assimilate and to be Canadian. You came here to build India, to take over Canada. There is almost 1,5 billion of you in India. Even if 100 milion of you come to Canada it won't make a dent in India's population, but Canada will perish. You don't want to assimilate because you cherish your culture. We also cherish our culture. Why do we have to accommodate to yours? You don't respect us, you want to marginalize us in our own country.

we need to assimilate them and if they refuse we deport.

man these videos are irritating. GUYS the government doesnt give a damn if the new immigrants assimilate.... THEY ARE AFTER THE immigrants CHILDREN! the ones that will be born here and go through the Canadian brainwash system. The birth rate is at 1.4 it needs to be at 2.1 thats why they NEED indians, INDIANS have MASSIVE FAMILIES thats exactly what the government is after., AND whites saying they are a minority? THEY make up 70% of canada Indians make up 7% THE hell you imbeciles talking about minority LMAO.

That polish guy saying Indians walk naked inside their houses, while walking naked on the streets. And people saying Indians don’t assimilate, when do white people assimilate with others. And if people don’t keep their neighborhood clean and work only on clash, then it’s the system’s fault and pole hole that is letting them exploit it, fix the system. And why the heck the Gov letting immigrants in if it’s doing no good to the country. Simply because left a gov that will put a stop to immigration.

At least we dont force you to convert. And we assimilate wherever we go, its just canadians who dont want them to assimilate in your country.

The first thing that needs to happen is to take the multiculturalism rule out of the charter of rights. Go ahead, be multi cultural but within the 4 walls of your house. If you are unable to assimilate and learn the language and adopt the culture of the place you'd like to potentially call home then perhaps it isn't quite home then is it?

Accountability should fall on the Government of Canada. They stopped screening properly. There used to be a point system that determined who could immigrate, and it actually worked. I’m of Pakistani descent, born and raised here, and when I’m in Brampton and walk into a Circle K, people start speaking to me in Hindi or Punjabi right away — it’s a trip. At the same time, I’m not saying everyone coming is bad. A lot of international students and new immigrants are hardworking people who want to build a better life. But plenty are also gaming the system. The real issue is that Canada messed up by letting in too many at once, with no structure to help them assimilate. When there’s no integration, no surprise people just act like they’re back home.

So they literally developed the city, from a small town to a big city. What yall are complaining about? It’s not like European did better when they came in. Did European assimilate to indigenous culture? At least indians didn’t force their culture like Europeans did

Yes in the 80’s as a new emigrants we had to work for our living. We never ever thought to get help from the government we are all integrated in to a Canadian society. We paid taxes from the day one that made us true Canadian citizens. Which I’m a very proud of. In my street two houses own by East Indians They don’t take care of their properties like us taking care of our property. Should I assimilate in to there’s way of life ? Or they should assimilate into our society? The answer to this question is very simple . Assimilate to our way of life or move back to India.

This isn't immigration and assimilation. This is invasion. I think if you come to Canada, you are no longer a Sikh, Muslim, Indian etc. You're Canadian. There shouldn't be sub-cultures inside Canada. We shouldn't see people's skin color. If anything, we are MORE obsessed with skin color than we were in the 90s.

Its very telling that all these people from a Commonwealth country with English comprehension to different levels feel safer and less discrimated against in Brampton than in the Anglo Utopias of Toronto, Vancouver or Edmonton. Also look at the ecnomics - they all work, they all take care of each other, and they all have strong communities who back them in times of need! The Anglos call this "lack of assimilation" but to them it is about surviving and then thriving.

Indians live peacefully, Hard working people , Talented peoples, Try to assimilate as much as they can. if u have any problem then just get pakistanis , syrians, iraqi and afghani then you will understand what actual immigration is .

"You can take a man out of the village, but you cannot get the village out of a man". Immigration, in particular of India, as alluded in this video, is not a/the problem per se. After all, more than 50% of Canada is immigrants, if you don't want to consider French and English colonizers immigrants, too. The real problem is when Indian immigrants, and truly any immigrants, DO NOT WANT TO ASSIMILATE and/or do not any effort in doing it.

Look how peaceful they are. They are model citizens. Your issue with them stems from their skin color and different culture which is just racism. The real problem is the government allowing too many people in. It’s not an Indian issue. Racists want you to think that way but Indians are not a problem. There is a entire ecosystem benefits from illegal immigration: 1) Fake schools and colleges who promise fake degrees 2) Vote-bank politicians on both sides 3) Companies that steal their identities, cram them into small apartments, and use these undocumented immigrants as modern slaves 4) Agencies that forge fake documents for illegals in exchange of money 5) Even legal colleges benefits, because legal immigrants pay a premium on top of college fees, and students also pay rent. 6) There is whole lobby who is funded by all of these Here’s a simple solution: Why not vote for someone who will reduce immigration, rather than being a racist? The whole world is watching. Pakistani saying Indian don't assimilate is f&^king funny. This is prime example how white people are just clueless. Pakistan and India are enemies. we had a 3 day war 4 months ago. Why are you asking pakistani anything about Indians ?

Canada needs to revamp immigration. Assimilation should be required. If I went to another country, I’d be required to do so. Canada doesn’t have its own culture anymore. Multiculturalism isn’t a culture.

It's not really a racial thing, but assimilation. The same complaint goes towards Ukrainians and Russians who refuse to learn to communicate in English or French.

We don’t have enough planes to send them away. The only right thing to do now is close the immigration from India. The more they grow, the harder for them to assimilate to the rest of Canada.

I have learned something from watching this video. They seem like like really kind people. Though they are new, they are still learning how to assimilate to our culture, and there's no reason to be predujice against them. It’s the government that’s exploiting them.

My family moved there in 1977 and moved out in 1984. I stay far away from Brampton with the non assimilated Indians on the roads and London with the crazy drug addicts all over the sidewalks .

Sad but true. i am an immigrant myself but I am sad to say these people who manipulate the system to be here and abuse every law are a disgrace to the immigrants who came the right way, follow the law, and assimilate and live Canadian values.

Hindu sabha is radical Brahmin organization unlike other they are casteist and don't want to assimilate at all they hate white people

It's so paradoxical that the indians back in India and abroad are projecting different outlooks about immigration and assimilation. I think it's absurd. In recent India, they look down upon immigration in India and complain about the lack of assimilation of immigrants to the diverse Indian culture. But abroad in another country as immigrants they want to protect their culture and do not want to assimilate to that country's culture or way of life. 😅 The comments about equality of humans, non discrimination etc made me laugh so much.. Ask them about the caste discrimination in their society, anti-conversion laws, attacks on sikhs, muslims, christians institutions/places of worship, and how they treat african students & other non-white races in India to have a better understanding on their views. 😂😅

Those are the consequences for opening the gates for immigration too wide for far too long. It's high time they start being more selective on who gets to immigrate and lower the number for at least a few years to get things back under control as this is Canada, either you assimilate or go back from where you come from.

They don't like to assimilate everywhere they go.

Greetings from Mumbai -India I completely agree that with the resurge of the Indian Right Wing -our RECENT Indian immigrants are making a HUGE MISTAKE by building only a *Indian Society* inside Brampton,Canada & refusing to assimilate which is *really really stupid* Truth is that Indians family system *over time* will /has OVERWHELMED the white skinned systems in economics,savings,wealth accumulation etc and naturally OVER TIME the white settlers will get replaced by fitter, better equipped races & maybe *co-habitation,acceptance* will only delay the ending ?

So to talk about people in-fluxing in, taking over cities, causing a boom in the population of their diaspora, not assimilating into the culture....isn't it what "White colonialism ' did? Canada was not white country a couple of Hundred years ago, it was stolen, invaded and completely white washed. Unfortunately no immigrant see Canada for what it should have been under the native people of Canada...so why are you scapegoating it when you're getting a taste of your own medicine. Claiming victimhood doesn't solve anything I guess...

They never assimilate. It's horrible.

white immigrants are fine, and it has been proven they assimilate and work hard

You see this anywhere in the western world where unskilled Indians are brought en masse without proper or poorly functioning controls. As a cultural group, the intake needs to be linked to professional skill’s migration and a rate the enables assimilation. This scenario isn’t good for the country - and the group as a whole.

When my parents immigrated to Canada from the Caribbean in the mid-70's they held onto certain cultural customs, while assimilating to Canada. My father was very thankful to be here and was proud to be Canadian. Immigration today is not the same.
