Native Canadians are Indigenous peoples.?

What did you Europeans call the indigenous people? Red Indians ?

Could this video be more racist, funny whenever it says the word “Native Canadians” it shows white people. Actual Native People’s are the indigenous peoples of this continent, did anybody ask them if they were Ok with all them Europeans coming over.\nThe present issues with immigration and the growing pains we are having is really a good problem, because the alternative would be the baby boomers dying off and just leaving empty houses and ghost towns, and productivity completely disappearing.

Punjabis from India should stop migrating to canada anymore.\n\nWhite Europeans are not indigenous people of Canada

I’m the first one to condemn unbridled immigration or immigration policies. Yes, it’s out of control, way out of control. This is unfortunately a reversal of fortunes. The same people talking here about new immigrants not being Canadian are not Canadian either , and they came in uninvited and illegally. They took over the land, indiscriminately killed the local population to the point of eradication, brought in disease, small pox killed 90% of the indigenous people. Before you go around stirring up a hornets nest and interviewing people selectively, please read up. \n\nhttps://youtu.be/A5P6vJs1jmY?si=Lj3ry4HBmRPiOzCe

I wonder what the indigenous people think as opposed to the whiteys?

I'm sure the indigenous Indians felt the same way when the British invaded. Where do people get the idea that Canada is a white country? It started off as Indian nations.

Does anybody ever consult with the indigenous tribes and whether they want more people infiltrating their land?Just using a little bit of Left Logic...though I think they forgot to consider that part from their own values...

Stop BLAMING Justin Trudeau, It’s not just Justin Trudeau, let’s face the facts, Canadian indigenous people didn’t want their own country and JUST GAVE IT AWAY, Justin just helped speed up the process

I never saw a real natives of this country. All I see is Europeans and Asians. Where is all indigenous peoples? Can you ask them their feelings too? It's sad to live here with Canadian born kids who have no jobs.

All people should RESPECT the HOST NATION that welcomes them and HELP them to SUCCEED. TO SUCCEED NOT TO TAKEOVER AND DESTROY THE INDIGENOUS CULTURE OF THAT TOLERANT HOST COUNTRY. SIMPLE..

And what is ‘Canadian’? It’s a name deprived from an Indigenous description of a house/home, kanatah, now Canada. Why would ‘India’ be any different from the European implosion over already existing Indigenous Lands? I mean if Europeans can disrespect existing Indigenous existence, why can’t India call this India? Or China, or Russia… what makes ‘white people’ special?

I think white people should also assimilate to the culture of the Indigenous people.

Like a Canadian ? \nYou mean lie about almost everything !\nSo friendly but drive past those in need daily\nSo humble but sell arms to and support isreals genocide. \nSo caring but our own live on the frozen streets while ottawa sends tons of cash to support war in Ukraine. \nFire an attorney general so a big company can hide its wrong doings \nTreat indigenous as dirt while preaching to the world how to treat their people. \nWe’re not even people here but \n“ subjects of the crown”\nPeople are used to smiling?\nI e been in an island that frowns on those not greeting others. \nI came back home to Canada and carried on greeting people on the street. Few respond ! Many ignore it and some even look away quickly.

come on Canada your country ? 300 year ago who shot those native red Indians, Indigenous peoples, yes your brit great grandpa's. if not why you say Britain monarchy as daddy/mommy. Now you're yapping when some legal immigrant comes. Maybe ask your govt why they put no bar in immigration. every foking person in canada is raised woke.

Go back 150 years ago the natives felt the same way, their lands were mined, forests plundered rights taken away … the proceeds of the spoils were dived with the “ the brethren “ under the guise of liberty and freedom for all… a new foreign law on the land, was forced upon the original inhabitants thru the barrel of the gun…spare a thought for the indigenous peoples as well …just a thought for the many that suffered and the perils living in their own country ?

But it is not their land. They are Arabs, Arabs are named after where they are from. The originally come from Arabia, now called Saudi Arabia. The Jews are called Jews because they are from Judea, now called the West Bank. The Arabs are the settler's not the Jews. Let just say that those living in Gaza now are the descendents of the Philistines then they should go back to where they came from. The Philistines where a see going people who came from places like what we now call South east Europe, Crete and so on. Now matter what why you look at it, they are not the indigenous people but The Jews are.

Indigenous original canadian people from heaven : Karma is bitch.

This is what the original inhabitants of Canada thought when Europeans landed and adopted their land ! History is repeating itself .... Feel the pain of those who are now in reserves to show their culture ! Why didn't you people adopt the culture of the indigenous Canadians ? Do you live in a typee ? That's funny.

Well probably Indigenous peoples in Canada felt the same 300 years ago ? a bunch of white ppl just landed and invaded their land and killed them lol

400 years ago indigenous people also said the same thing. ?

Hey Haters!! When would you all go back to your own country. This land is of indigenous people. Let them rule here. Being born here doesn’t mean you are entitled to live here forever. Go back to your land.

It's always too many of the other people. It's never too many white people. Are Europeans indigenous to North America? I get so tired of the hypocrisy.

KARMA BITES BACK \n\nYou had the “Indian Problem” now the “new Indians” are the “karma payback” for all that you did to the original inhabitants of Canada. \n\nHistorically, the racial segregation of Indigenous peoples in Canada has been enforced by the Indian Act, reserve system, residential schools, and Indian hospitals, among other programs. These policies interfered with the social, economic, cultural and political systems of Indigenous peoples, while also paving the way for European settlement across the country. The segregation of Indigenous peoples in Canada must be understood within the history of contact, doctrines of discovery and conquest, and ongoing settler colonization.\nEuropean Settlement and the “Indian Problem”\n\nHistorically, Indigenous peoples were considered a threat to European settlement and expansion. During the creation of the Numbered Treaties (1871–1921), for example, the federal government made agreements with various First Nations as a means of developing their territories for industrial development and White settlement. While many Indigenous signatories were reluctant to sign the treaties, they eventually did so because of a lack of food (due to the declining bison on the plains) and the vast spread of infectious diseases, among other reasons.\n\nWith settler colonization came the framing of the “Indian Problem” — the prevailing belief that Indigenous peoples needed to be assimilated into Euro-Canadian culture because their traditional ways were considered “uncivilized” and “immoral.” The term “Indian Problem” is attributed to Duncan Campbell Scott of Indian Affairs. In 1918 he said,\n\n“I want to get rid of the Indian problem. I do not think as a matter of fact, that the country ought to continuously protect a class of people who are able to stand alone… Our objective is to continue until there is not a single Indian in Canada that has not been absorbed into the body politic and there is no Indian question, and no Indian Department...”\n\nWhere are the “original Indians of Canada”? \n\nThey were killed and decimated by the Euro-Canadian colonisers. \n\nThese immigrants are your karma. For what you did to “original Indians”. They are now reborn. This is karma. \n\nThey will not treat you as your ancestors treated the indigenous people of this vast land. These Indians are kind. They are also culturally endowed. They are resolute, dynamic , hardworking and fair. \n\nThe Indians may not be “fair” in complexion but would be “fair” to the poor of their adopted country. \n\nCanada ❤ Indians. \n\nKarma always bites back.

work in the secondary sector when it comes to exams I made a head count all Indian students not one true Canadian there is a problem we have problems with poverty it's time we concentrate on are own jobs are Sponge up have you seen how they look for work it's in groups an every time I get a resume it's east Indian not indigenous not white not black not any other cultures see the issue it's one culture not even native to are land they failed to realize they are guests not Canadians time to stop the handouts to people who abuse are systems

She should go back to her country since Canada is stolen from native indigenous people!

indigenous english people have had enough ??

Hey WHITE PEOPLE THIS ISNT ANY ONE COUNTRY BUT THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE…..yall don’t even realize your culture history ?????

Coming from the UK, it's laughable seeing white people of European ancestry claiming Canada is 'their country'. Tell that to the indigenous peoples that were displaced as a result of colonisation. They've got the real right to say they feel like strangers in their own land.

I’d like to see the Indigenous people reaction to this video

Canada is Indigenous people L A N D first and foremost

It’s Canada, but the people are becoming Indian. It’s like before when they were all Indians (indigenous) then they all became Europeans. Remember that? Well it’s happening again.

What are these white Canadians talking about this isn’t your actual country your ancestry goes back to Scotland, United Kingdom, France or Germany. Canada belongs to indigenous people

Doesn't feel Canadian or look Canadian? Really? Weren't the native Americans the first real indigenous people in Canada?

2 things: (1)How are Indians to be blamed for the white people homelessness and alcohol/drug use. (2) Since when did Canada belong to the white man? Never was , never is! This land belongs to the Indigenous people, and immigrants build Canada. Everyone is immigrants here, all white skin , French , Indian etc (excepy the Indigenous people). So spred love and unity in this Diversity known as Canada. There are always a majority of races in every city, and that should not raise any questions of racism and judgemental remarks. Instead, focus on drug use , homelessness, and crimes.\n\nAlso, I notice mention of so many Hindu phobia remarks and racism comments in this video as if Hindus are attacking and causing harm on the country or world by extension. Indians come to Canada and bring with them knowledge, culture, values, ethics, money and things that uplift and adds value to Canada, they dont come free and ask for any handout and live on taxpayers money! FACTS IS FACTS , do the research.

Just for your information. A simple logical search can give you abundant knowledge and probably enhance everyone's perspectives.\n\nIndia\n2022 Nominal GDP in Current U.S. Dollars: $3.39 trillion\n2022 PPP Adjusted GDP in Current International Dollars: $11.87 trillion\n2022 GDP Growth: 7%\n2022 Nominal GDP Per Capita in Current U.S. Dollars: $2,388\n\nCanada\n2022 Nominal GDP in Current U.S. Dollars: $2.14 trillion\n2022 PPP Adjusted GDP in Current International Dollars: $2.27 trillion\n2022 GDP Growth: 3.4%\n2022 Nominal GDP Per Capita in Current U.S. Dollars: $54,967\n\nIndia is a much richer country than Canada and is much stronger economically as well. Probably since it's far and since education is so scarce in the information age maybe it's difficult for people here to comprehend. The only reason India is lacking behind is because of it's abundant population and it was not blessed with self rule up until 1947 which kind of derailed it's progress by years thanks to European Colonization and discrimination. \nJust as an example for folks who are ignorant to see India as a third world or poor or poorly run country - \n* The way India handled Covid for 1+ billion people is something close to impossible for Canada with a meagre population of around 40 million. \n* You don't have to wait for months or weeks for normal checkups, MRIs, doctors and so on. \n* You don't have to pay $50+ per month for a meagre 10-30gb data instead it's less than $4 per month for 1-2gb/day data (yes per day)\n* The military budget of India is 66 billion dollars while Canada's is a meagre 26 Billion dollars.\n* India is capable of launching advanced missions in Space and has single handedly indigenously created aircrafts to land in moon and space exploration.\n* India has home grown automobile companies like Tata Motors (which owns Jaguar and Land Rover), Mahindra and many more while I don't see any homegrown automobile companies in Canada.\n* India has more than 170 billionaires while Canada has around 70.\n* India's richest people won't even bother to invest in Canada because it's not a viable market, but the economy in India is booming and will continue to do so.\n* Despite the population the country is managing in such a way that Canada can only dream off. Just because you had the privilege and the means to be developed does not give you the right to demean other nations. It's really nothing that you did, it's just pure luck, right place, right time, white superiority, destruction and so on which enables you to live such privileged lives and now you are crying when people are actually working hard to provide some competition.\n\nDon't you think regardless of race or ethnicity, every human being deserves the best life? \n\nBefore you judge a country do some research. \n\nYes, the people in general have a different thought process where in prominence is not given to space, way of living, probably you can put it up as standard of living and the quality of thought process. But that's always the case with generalization. I know it's hard not to when you see it, but being a better human is all about thinking beyond that. Yes people in India are general prone to having a shortcut process, at the same time, highly skilled people are abundantly present. In the information sector and other highly skilled areas, they are present earning loads of money which reverberates to more tax money for the government. \n\nI know that they have major issue with absorbing the host country culture and I believe that can probably or maybe alleviated by having some cultural programs so that they can fit into the society so that the Canadian culture is upheld. It's always difficult to see changes around you and your home being in your words being raided by foreign entities. Guess what? The world is filled with different ethnic groups. Hundreds of years ago all your native homes were part of the indigenous people here and they didn't even have time to complain or lament online when the Europeans butchered them and massacred their homelands, claiming the land and setting up as their own. Now you are in a position to call something your home and we all know what all your ancestors did regardless of how good you are right now. The least you can do is not comment such provocatively online against other ethnicities or is this atrocity still there in your blood. It's very simple. Try to think beyond frustration and be grateful for what you have. \n\nBy the way I can write more but I don' think it's worth my time but maybe positive things can happen if you put your mind into.

India and Canada are not the same kind of countries.. Do white people in Canada know that they are not indigenous people ?

You white people think about, what it felt like when the indigenous got invaded by white people… you deserve it if you feel misplaced

i remember when around here it was all like indigenous people and like no white guys. i don't wanna be racist but it was better before the white folk arrived. so these actual indians still have to be better than more harrison faulkners!

They now feel how the indigenous people have felt since Europeans came

white people have zero right to complain. They are not indigenous to Canada. People throughout history have emigrated to other lands, get over it

I guess you never found any indigenous people, drug and other problems not caused by South Asian people Brampton people abandoned by successive governments on the alter of free enterprise.\n But let’s revert to overt racism and blame all the Indians for the problems of Brampton that appeals to our \nBaser instincts that’s easier than looking at the exploitation and oppression inherent here

0:13, There was a time the Indigenous people felt a stranger in their own country when the ancestors of this woman came in.

Indigenous people probably sick of us all being here. This isn’t Turtle Island anymore. It became England and France and now every other country’s people live here.

You’re such an ignorant. Canada was giving Polish people land in the 1800’s to move up north and farm. This place stopped looking less Indigenous since the first Europeans started coming here. This country isn’t a white place and it never was.

Indigenous people probably sick of us all. It’s not turtle Island anymore. It’s England & France and every other country’s people here.

There are thousands of Jesus Christ statues across India, but God forbid they build one Hanuman statue in Canada (which wasn't even Christian until a few centuries ago and has a track record of imposing their religion/culture on Indigenous People).

Canadian-born people who are drug addicts in Brampton are not because of the Indians living in Brampton, but rather because of their own choices. Indians didn't force them to get addicted to drugs and it seems that you are implying that.\n\nYou can also make a similar video about Markham which is the 1st place on your list. \n\nI also oppose immigration at these levels and wish that people would assimilate into the Canadian culture like in the US. \n\nWhite Canadians are also immigrants from Europe just 3-4 generations ago. Indigenous Canadians are mostly living in reservations in the north where there are no jobs and their economic situation is not great either.

I meeeaaan imagine how the indigenous people have been feeling, like strangers in their own land

The natives or indigenous people felt the same 100 or so years ago. With the influx of Caucasians taking over their land. They were not invited they invaded.
