AS AN INDIAN THANKS FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO . I AS A INDAIN REQUEST you my brother Canadian's to stop the illegal smuggling thing. India is not actually filled with these kind of people. there are poor and rich here both suffer with this country. but the rich understand and are are very well educated to understand the locals and support their country. but idk what's wrong with Canada that they leave the north Indian's ( basically 90% people of this part of region are not very friendly and are very badly educated about things only the top 10% of this region really understand things and even they suffer with this and the allegations some of them for just being the same religion ) and because of them the other people of India who were going to America/Canada for better meant of the country they go to , get with this and get rejected. its just my opinion and the things I have seen going around me.

They legit put up statues of Shiva and shit in Brapton? Looks like natural assimilation into the culture to me, I dunno what you're on about brother. Kumar is as Canadian as the rest of us, eh?

As a non Indian Canadian born and raised I’m disgusted where my country has gone. Our population has doubled since 1980, not by birth rate, but because of the amount of Indians that have immigrated here. Unfortunately, they have no desire to assimilate, they bring their own culture and they stay in their own communities. The government offers tax breaks for businesses, hiring foreign workers over people born in Canada, leaving the youth without any part-time work. On top of that some of my favourite restaurants growing up, I haven’t eaten at in years because it’s been taken over by Indians, the quality of food goes down, you end up getting food poisoning and if you aren’t in their community, you get worse service and get charged more than what an Indian would pay at the same restaurant. They don’t understand cleanliness or sanitation, they leave their garbage and waste on the street and dump it in random locations, and quite frankly have no respect for anyone who lives here or the country that has taken them in. I feel like a minority of my own country and I truly don’t understand what being Canadian means anymore because I’m pretty sure being Canadian is a thing of the past. Most of my friends have moved further north, to Vancouver island or moved out to the prairies to get away from them and higher prices as everything gets more expensive, thanks to our government, caring more about immigrants than citizens. When a family gets accepted to come here they bring their parents their aunts and uncles their brothers and sisters on temporary visas, they also collect social assistance as soon as they arrive and when their visas expire, they have no desire to go back, which has resulted in thousands of illegals remaining here. I mean I get it. Why would you go back when you’re getting treated better here and are given food, housing and an allowance every month but it’s gotten to a point where India outnumbers Canadians. I want them all sent back.

8:25 brother's we have a Canadian brother who knows.

Canadian brothers, hold strong, we’ll have our homes again ✊🏻 Much love from your southern neighbor 🇺🇸

Doing great work for us Canadians brother!!

@1:56 THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING OUT, THIS IS ALL I WANT. I am TIRED of people coming here and not respecting our way of life and pushing their ways onto us. Also the lack of English speakers is fcking annoying as hell, especially when they are in a job that makes them have to serve the public. The amount of times that I have ordered food and that person not understand what I want is abysmal. Also @3:50 that is now reality in my city too. My own born and raised Canadian brother legit can't find a job even in neighboring cities.

My brother works for immigration Canada, he said that although Carney said immigrants are deported, but in reality his government is bringing in more Asylum refugees into Canada, which means Canadians will have to take care of them with their tax dollars. Carney told the immigration workers not to tell anyone about this.

From the UK, learning about the same problems our Canadian brothers face is sad but interesting. Its almost refreshing to see the patterns and that I'm not crazy , but its very sad all the same. Sending many blessings x

Just wanna say, cause I don't think its said enough, I commend the journalistic integrity that you started out with and maintain throughout your work. Thank you for your commitment to hearing many sides of the story. My brother is a journalist in NYC and he also amplifies voices that are so often drowned out by louder, flashier ones. As a Canadian, who was born in South Africa, but have grown up in BC since elementary school, I feel incredibly grateful for the opportunity this country has given my family. We all work hard to build on the values shared in this nation. I love learning about aspects of Canada that I am unfamiliar with, but ultimately help shape its identity. 🙏

I have a sister and brother-in-law (old people) living in Brampton and they and other ‘traditional Canadian’ love their Hindu neighbors.😏

Racist Canadians were too busy being racist against Native americans.lol they forgot about our other brothers. love it.

The immigrant voices (those who were vetted appropriately and who came to become Canadian citizens, with respect for the culture of Canada) are powerful and impactful and bear so much weight. Thank you for speaking out, brothers and sisters. You are correct, I am not upset with immigrants per se, but am frustrated with how leaky and inept the government has been with their slack policies. I have been in public parks and watched as non-English speaking immigrants leave their trash littering a park! Where they do not respect personal space. I want to live with people who are interested in being Canadian and respect the cultural values and norms of Canadian citizens, NOT those who plan to come in and take over. Come on, guy who said Muslims are going to take over Canada. How well received do you thing that will be?! I have Muslim and Indian friends and they are not like this idiot.

Immigration not problem , i am immigrant and now Canadian citizen i used to save money, now i have no money whatever i earn go into bills. Soo much of tax. I can’t even rent a basement maybe just a room. I told everyone not to come to canada. My brother payed 40,000$ in education with single day job. So he thinking going back nothing here. And its everywhere not just in canada

You are right brother! Me too , it makes me feel sad when I see the speed with witch this country's shining color is fading away in this 10 years I have been in it! I love Canada more than any other place since l was accepted here being stateless , My little family has no other culture , we embraced a canadian one and we are confident to have well chosen!

If elections were honest if they were we canadians rooted ones at that queen put my family here in canada after the wars grandfather fought and won both wars to give me what I had and now immigrants have taken that over government and people today wouldn't exist with out my grandfather . Politions dont know what war is... or how it reflects all candians still today . A lession to all politions get back to work . And have some respect . For people who got uou to where you are today . Far to much time off running with a counrty and a hammer as yhe leader makes me puke every day . Say thank you carney for life u have be ayse of my grandfather. Thanks for staying and being humble and rooted . Your not . Stop giving Canadian money away this is the out come carney and trudeau twisted brothers. made this mess .

We hate this! We definitely don't want it either!\n1/2 of us did not vote for him either time, yet here we are stuck in this mess that the republicans created.\nIts shameful and sickening!\nThank you PM Trudeau for trying to do the right thing.\nWe love our Canadian brothers and sisters.\n????????

Did you Yanks all forget that Canadians have 2 settings: Sorry and You'll be sorry! Have at 'em my Canadian brothers and sisters.

Lots of emotional response here. I also feel that Canadians are our brothers and sisters of the USA. But removing the emotion, Canada isn't holding the cards. This nonsense will hurt Canada far more than the US.

Australian here. Trudeau gave a very strong speech, this is how a real leader responds. Much love to our Canadian brothers and sisters in this trying time.

I am embarrassed to be Canadian. Trump is doing everything and anything to make America and the American people better. He is not responsible for canada. All we do here is whine and get into a well if you do this we're gonna do that pissing contest. Instead of us here in Canada doing anything to make Canada stronger and us not reliant on handouts. We got that little brother syndrome where we wanna be like big brother but don't have any power

I'm Mexican. Canadian brothers and sisters, we must stand together and fight! Don't underestimate us Mexicans as allies. ?????

Just so our Canadian brother and sisters know 231 million American people DID NOT WANT THIS! those 77 million Maga maggots and Donald Trump DO NOT represent us, AT ALL!! he and his goons will single-handedly destroy this Country. I'm so incredibly sorry this is happening!

Speaking on behalf of my fellow Americans, we love Canadians! You are our brothers and sisters! We will always support you!

To my Canadian brothers all I can do is apologize for the stupidity of our government I didn't vote for this stooge so I stand with you my friends

Hey listen , its the voice of reason, please listen. I consider Canadians my brothers. This is such a dark time. My elected officials are supposed to represent the people, please do Roger

I have lived in Canada for almost 50 years.. The United States of America has been our closest neighbour and friend ever since I came here.. \nLong before I came here Canada and the US were partners… \nWe relied on each other, we supported each other and we profited from each other..\nLet me make it perfectly clear I consider myself Canadian and I love the Americans like they were my own brothers and sisters.. \nAlso let it be known that our government does not speak for the citizens of this country… \nWe are being forced by the government to follow the rules. And now our government wants the American people to believe that all Canadians are against them. \nThat couldn’t be any further from the truth. \nI can’t say every single Canadian has respect for the Americans, but I myself respect America and honour Canada.. \nAs a true Canadian, we stand on guard for both countries.. God bless America…

Our left and right leaning politicians in both sides of parliament in Australia are currently trying to stay out of this situation thinking that the mango Mussolini will respect us. But our population knows Donald is a putin arse licker and as soon as he turns his attention to Australia and treats us like Canadian brothers you'll find the USA lose allies tenfold.....as even countries like us trying to find middle ground will finally realise that therr is no middle ground... you're an enemy period ....go Canada ????

Canadian here, I just feel really bad for the normal Americans who didn't vote for this orange clown who seems hellbent on making their lives miserable. We don't hold it against you, and this is a war with your government, not the people. Americans will always be our brothers and sisters, we just gotta get through this extremely weird and disturbing chapter in history. My grandpa fought side by side with Americans in WW2, and gave his life to stop fascist idiots like Trump. History can't, and won't repeat itself. Unfortunately, this all needs to happen for pro-trump Americans to feel the pain and realize what he is.

Canadian brothers and sisters - I apologize for that lunatic we have currently occupying the WH. I never voted for that crazy man-child with a bad temper and a very ugly disposition. I hope it will be less than 4 years….

Zero issues with border? Brother it’s us beneath you. You got the Mexican cartels directly beneath you creating tunnels and hopping the river? Nah nah first of you can’t even live in 80% of your country so idk where this big guy talk be coming from. When the pst four years all I’ve heard FROM Canadians is how AWFUL this guy is yet noted you love him cause he doesn’t like Trump lmao pathetic country and pathetic attitude

I am a born and raised Wisconsinite. I just hope that our Canadian brothers will forgive us someday.

From France, hard to understand how these two countries are going into such a fight. It’s like a family fight between brothers. American friends, it’s Time to realise you elected a dangerous guy who obviously has too much confidence on doing dumb thîngs, and clearly is not qualified to act as a gentleman or just being a reasonable president. Canadian cousins, France will always stand behind you..

As an american, I stand with my Canadian brothers. \n\nYou don't do this to allies.

It's unbelievable, but.. not really coming from the Orange guy, We love our Canadian brothers and sisters, im a disabled Vet, i stand with Canada and Ukraine, most the people of the USA do not stand with Trump, or his cabinet, in his delusional thinking about fentanyl it's a made-up lie it's propaganda seriously from the northern border and not the southern border there's no drugs coming through our Northern friends he's nitpicking at anything to start this trade war

AUSSIE here and we stand with our Canadian brothers!

We in the uk will stand with our Canadian brothers but we wish our American friends would stop this nonsense we all all supposed to be allies did America forget already who stood firm with them after 9 11 yes the uk and Canada our troops died alongside Americans and we didn’t want anything in return, come on America this is not you

Canadian brothers and sisters, please know this isn't what many of us Americans want. We have elections every 4 years. Please do your best not to hate us forever because of this. Please don't lose sight that this Trump era will pass.

This is what a real leader looks like. From and American who is sad our elected (and not elected...) officials slip further into fascism. Love my Canadian brothers and sisters.

American here. I stand with our Canadians brothers and sisters. I’m so embarrassed we have President Turd in the office. That orange clown needs to go! ?❌

We are brothers American and Canadians are on the same land same boat one side goes we both sink im Canadian and I stand with American much love let’s stay family and be peaceful and end this madness

Both my sons were born in Canada! I lived in Windsor and Tecumseh, Ontario for 6 years. I love the Canadian people and my in laws even though divorced from their brother (who is deceased now). I wish I could move back! I am ashamed to live here right now!

That’s what a leader looks and sounds like boys. I’ve never been more envious of our Canadian brothers. ????????

Hey kimlit thank the Conservative for GST and HST. GST introduced by Mulroney in 1991. Free trade caused our manufacturing collapse. Harper, Conservative raised the retirement age to 67 and he changed the law to allow foreign govts to own more than 50% of Canadian companies. These young CanMagas don’t know about our history. The Conservative Party started and continues to be the party of the rich and big business. Look who is backing IDU organization…Koch Brothers, Mike Roman and other oligarchs. Trudeau raised CPP and OAS payments, lowered retirement age back to 65, dental plans for Seniors, cheap daycare….all of which PP said he will remove because we can’t afford it according to his handlers. He will privatize healthcare and raise retirement age again to appease his rich handlers.\n.

British here - we will stand with our Canadian brothers and sisters.

Hey Canadian brothers, I'm sorry my fellow Americans elected this nut case as president.

He is completely correct. I stand with Canada. \n I never thought I would ever see the day that our Canadian brothers would suffer from us like this. I want to cry !! ???????????

Proud Of Canadian & Our Friends South Were Brothers In Arms

It is so dumb to put a tariff on Canada..we're just brother and sister..Canadians bring a lot of business to our town and we speak the same language aka English..Why? We have to do this ?

From France ?? we side with the righteous and our Canadian brothers, but also with our American friends victim of the madman! \nWell said, and well done Canada! Enough with the orange tyrant! ✌?
