This report sounds like only activists were consulted. Not at all the mood in Canada. Mass immigration severely damaged the fabric of the nation.

Please don't believe this report. I am from Canada, This issue is not dividing us at all . In fact the overwhelming majority agrees immigration numbers of recent years are unsustainable .These policies to cut immigration are driven by public pressure on the government..Fr24 is cherry picking and make it sound like there is huge backlash to these cuts.

Canada presents itself as a multicultural society, but the reality for many immigrants—especially South Asians—is different. Brampton and other cities have seen large Indian and Pakistani immigration waves due to Canada’s labor and education opportunities. But despite being invited under official immigration programs, these communities face systemic racism and unequal treatment. 📊 Employment Discrimination: • A 2021 Statistics Canada report found that racialized Canadians earned 20% less on average than their white counterparts, even when education and experience were controlled. • South Asian immigrants specifically face higher rates of credential discounting, where their foreign education and experience are undervalued. 📊 Hiring Bias: • A University of Toronto study revealed that applicants with “ethnic” names were 40% less likely to receive a callback compared to those with Anglo-sounding names, even with identical résumés. • Another survey showed that unemployment rates for racialized Canadians are consistently 1.5–2x higher than for white Canadians. 📊 Perceptions vs. Reality: • While white Europeans continue to integrate without much resistance, South Asians are often stereotyped as “taking over” neighborhoods. • Immigrants from India and Pakistan have one of the highest workforce participation rates in Canada, working in everything from Uber and trucking to tech and medicine—contributing directly to the economy. Meanwhile, many first-generation South Asian immigrants don’t qualify for the refugee-style supports that others receive. Instead, they work long hours, often in precarious jobs, just to cover bills. The frustration often mistaken as an “attitude problem” comes from facing daily systemic barriers—being seen as “less than” despite contributing equally, if not more, to society. The underlying issue is that the old colonial mindset persists: brown immigrants are not granted the same social standing as white Canadians. Equality on paper is not equality in practice.

Reporters are like some NPCs. Palestinian world land is in apocalypse and its obvious to everyone who did it. Yet they ask questions that sound and are as stupid as someone who is programmed in a video game to say something regardless of circumstances.

This report is so typical of American arrogance and probably erroneous. Somehow, it's Canada who's not doing enough , but it should be the US that has increased their border security as well. If you think we condone migrant crossing, you're being ridiculous. Do your share protecting our mutual border, and stop bitching and whining. \nSmugglers from the USA bring drugs and guns into Canada. Do you care about that?? This is such inflammatory and disgraceful reporting. You sound like it's a big joke. Shame on you.

Title of story misleading. Sounds like legal immigrants are being rounded up. Ignoring the crimes they committed. Leaving out the criminal history is poor reporting.

The reporter sounds like he's unable to catch his breath. He's so excited by the news.

“…to get these countries to do the US’s bidding” \n\nOne of the most ignorant comments I have ever heard. Sounds like a CNN reporter tbh.\n\nTaking YOUR citizens that are nothing but criminals back who entered OUR country illegally and are costing OUR taxpayers billions of dollars to cater to them when they contribute nothing to society is hardly “doing Trump’s and the USA’s bidding.”

I agree in that this most likely won't solve the issue put more stress on the population and business enterprise. Climate issues will make these plans even more problematic. We currently have issues with some of the effected industries domestically. We are having to many food recalls to create import price spikes even in building materials. It's already been reported that the drugs are coming into the country in American cars...sounds like a job for man's best friend...drug canine units. Putting more efforts in less drug cou consumption could help because unfortunately druggies will be druggies and find a way to get their supplies. We would be better off in controlling the drugs in this country than leaving it in the hands of criminals!

Dana Bash is the worst so called journalist. Weak and ineffectual. She sounds like a ten year old giving a current events report.

Pretty simple isn't it. You want the Arab nations to undone the catastrophe you America ?? are enabling. Palestinian don't have to look for a new land. It sounds like this is from a Zionist media. To ask for the removal of their land. Your reporter is so biased. Great answer to her question.

Harrison, you stand head and shoulders above any of the other True North reporters. If the rest of the TNM staff showed the guts and energy you show, they would be a real media presence. Sadly, they have lost their real conservative edge and sound a lot like our pathetic MSM.

Very Very well spoken Sir but get this that reporter that asked that question sounds western so western countries would spend let's say $30,000 on her to go fly to the Arab country and hotel for one person just to ask that stupid question like I don't get it???

1 Homelessness: There is a significant homeless population in Canada, and the government spends billions on social services to address this issue, including providing support for drug addicts.\n\n2 Silent Racism: Despite Canada's multicultural image, there are reports of silent and systemic racism, with statistics indicating disparities in income and higher hate crime rates against certain ethnic groups.\n\n3 Healthcare Challenges: Access to healthcare can be challenging due to a shortage of doctors, long waiting times, and limited resources. Medical professionals may be overworked, and there are difficulties in finding experienced family doctors.\n\n4 Technology Gap: Canada's slow adoption of technology, especially in critical sectors like healthcare, finance, and telecom, contributes to a technology gap compared to other developed countries.\n\n5 High Taxes: The tax system in Canada is complex, with prices listed before tax, leading to potential surprises for newcomers. High-income earners may face significant taxation, and individuals are responsible for filing their tax reports annually.\n\n6 Job Market Challenges: Canadian employers often prefer candidates with Canadian work experience, and some professions require licensing. The hiring process can be risk-averse and lengthy.\n\n7 Housing Crisis: Canada faces a housing crisis with a shortage of homes, leading to high prices. The quality of housing may not meet expectations, and foreign ownership, particularly by immigrants, plays a role in the market.\n\n8 Quality of Life: Some aspects of daily life in Canada, such as thin apartment walls, poor sound isolation, and high living costs, may differ from expectations.

I have recently come across the case of a young Irish woman with a brain tumour currently living in Canada and whose treatment by the Canadian public health system has been frankly shocking. I live in Britain and over the last few years, there have been increasingly negative reports coming out of Canada, in particular regarding its lax immigration system; its encouragement of Third World migrants; adoption of multiculturalism and an illiberal liberalism which has seen conservative figures like Dr Jordan Peterson bullied and professionally sidelined. It sounds like a lot pf the blame can be laid at the door of its virtue-signalling, narcissistic prime minister, Justin Trudeau. Tragic that yet another great society built by Europeans is now in the process of being dismantled.

Great documentary, but in my opinion, it's terribly one-sided, portraying these colleges as villains and the students as poor, innocent victims. As a former international student from India myself, who had the privilege of attending a prestigious university in the UK, working there, and moving on, the workings of this situation are as clear as daylight and as old as the hills. \nIt wasn't any different back then in the UK 20 years ago, during the heady Blair days, when UK colleges significantly increased their intake of international students, aided by a lax visa regime. This was also in response to tighter visa restrictions in the US following 9/11. Students enrolling in such colleges, as well as the parents funding them, are well aware that these are degree mills. The sole aim here is to somehow navigate through college and stay long enough until permanent residency comes through. \nTears flow and protests erupt only when this unspoken but clearly understood agreement is broken, often with the media conveniently at hand. The reasons driving this insatiable urge are multifarious, but poverty and lack of opportunities in the country (in this case, India) do not really rank high on the list. Social prestige and an imagined better life in the 'West' certainly do, particularly among young people from states like Punjab, Haryana, and parts of Gujarat. \nNothing about this is illegal, and not to sound cynical, these are market forces at work. However, in my view, this represents a more accurate truth. It would be great to see Fifth Estate also report from this side

Problem is liberal ndp being members of WEF and Chinese party funding to advance their agenda that is completely opposite of our nation's benefit..example of our liberal tax funded anti capitalism anti business , stand new Health Canada report suggests public health officials should be openly advocating for the toppling of capitalism, Western society and even the very concept of “liberty and individualism.”\n“Fundamental changes in our socioeconomic structures are needed to rebuild our relationships with each other and with our planet,” reads the conclusion of the April 17 report prepared for chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam.\nThe paper — written by three authors who “identify as white settlers” — also recommended that Canadian public health actions should focus on “decolonization, justice and equity” above all. Sounds like right out of the 1950s communist propaganda

During the 1930's media in various countries made immigrants and asylum seekers out to be this horrible thing and demonised them. This came after a huge recession in 1923, the Wall Street crash, and the subsequent dramatic rise of far right parties in various countries, specifically Italy, then Germany and Spain. \nFast-forward to modern times. 2008 saw another global recession. Once again politics swung massively to the right with countries like Italy (once again), Hungary, Austria, Poland and Sweden, voting in right wing governments, France ending in a run off that narrowly defeated the far right, Belgium and Spain looking likely to be heading into heavily right wing governments at the next elections, whilst the US and UK governments both saw their politics swinging far further in that direction, especially the UK right now whilst led by an unelected leader who is demonising people in ways that would make Trump look soft. One of themajor rallying calls: immigration. The way media report on this becomes increasingly demeaning and hateful. During the 1930's much of the European media and even as far as the UK was ramping up the scorn against the ever increasing influx of Jewish immigrants coming from Germany. Even into 1944 there was a vast amount of demonisation of them seeking asylum, despite the knowledge by this point that there were horrific conditions in camps where extermination was becoming ever more apparent. The Nazi German government in 1936 passed laws that enabled them to revoke citizenship and stripped away laws on human rights. It would be great to say that these poor souls who were being demonised in their own country were accepted into nations who could see what was going on and who wanted to help, but that just wasn't the way it went. Media played out as it is now, leading to rejection and a greater number of deaths as a result of this. The way the UK government is currently working, it actually sounds like the maxi government of the mid 30's during the time of the Nürnberg laws. \n \nThe world feels far smaller now with double the amount of people and with things like social media playing a huge role in the lives of many. The ease of access to people around the world has made issues seem to stretch to far more countries now, whereas back then it was a time of empires. I get that there will be many here who support Trump, many who support Biden, there will be Brit's who support Sunak and the rather vicious words of Suella Braverman, whilst others will be more on the side of Starmer (I'm well aware of all the other parties but they don't stand to gain as much). There will be French people backing Macron, whilst others back Le Pen. We could go through each country all the way to the battle between Fujimori and Castillo in Perú, and the stories are much the same, but how will history judge us when people look back to this time? Will it be another occasion where we demonised those trying to escape the horror of the place they had the bad luck to be born in whilst we were luckier? \n\nI know there is hardship everywhere. I'm struggling more than most and I know I can't keep living this way. However, I don't want to be a part of history people look back at and say ‘if only they did something to help prevent this.’. I would rather be a part of history people look back upon and say; ‘that was a boring time period where nothing important happened’. It's already too late for that. Instead I try to remember that, though I was born into a family who never really wanted me, I was lucky enough to be born into a country that could support me during the hardest times. When you look at immigrants, remember that every one of us has immigrants in our family tree somewhere.

This sounds pretty much what Sweden is like except for the online and internet services. Have you tried finding a place to live in Stockholm? Systematic racism exists here as well. Right-wing government taking away permanent residence permits from those who have for years lived and worked in Sweden. There's a huge bedbug infestation in many apartment buildings all over the city, 11 500 Swedish Kr for 18 square meters, and private landlords taking advantage of tenants both in prices and conditions. When a dark-haired tenant moves in, some one will eventually report that there are strange people walking in and out of a certain apartment, a blunt prejudice towards Arabic and African-looking individuals regardless of their nationality, meaning Swedes with different heritage. \nIt sounds like the whole world is on the same beat. \nSorry, but as a Canadian in Stockholm, I would rather suffer back home than in a swedish system where neighbours avoid meeting other neighbours and indifference is everywhere.

This entire report is anti-islam.. she's making it sound like she's listening to them but all she really did is place all the labels everyone else has placed and then again questioned these women's decisions. y'all are so paradoxical

Sounds like some folk have an inferiority complex . \n\nThis is sensationalist reporting . Retailers , home owners etc have every right to check . \n\nIt all stems from a culture of dishonesty arising out of 3rd worlders , trying to assimilate with first worlders combined with undeniable prison demographics .
