Google, YouTube, Microsoft, Adobe, and IBM are all led by Indian-born CEOs. If white North Americans have such a problem with Indian immigrants, why are they still using Google and YouTube every single day?

That’s the harsh reality. During Trudeau’s time, Canada saw a significant influx of newcomers, which put pressure on housing, the labour market, and healthcare. It’s normal for a country to tighten immigration for a few years; lower quotas naturally mean higher requirements. Coming on a study permit or a work permit doesn’t guarantee permanent residency. Once a temporary status expires, and if there’s no other legal pathway to stay, the person must leave Canada.
Discusses immigration's impact on housing, labour market, and healthcare; frames policy tightening as rational response to resource pressure.

These companies just want cheap azz labor. I'm a Canadian citizen and went to school here for a trade and trust me it tough finding a job. In my opinion we don't need anymore immigrants for the next 4 years.
Personal experience combined with economic argument that companies exploit cheap labor and that job scarcity justifies reduced immigration.

The only people that do not want to tighten immigration are the big corporations that want more labourers to further drive down wages.

Canada is still taking in 400k immigrants this year, that is no small number. Just building homes for 400k people in the major cities is a challenge.

Why is immigration Canada discriminating against white immigrants? Why is immigration Canada importing 500,000 new immigrants a year when our unemployment rate is 6.5% and food banks can't keep up with soaring demand? Why are Canadian universities denying acceptance to Canada's business and engineering programs when these graduates are the ones who could invest in Canada and create enough jobs for Canadians? Why hasn't the Canadian government lowered Canada's age of consent so young women can get married again and have children instead of relying so heavily on immigrants for our population growth? Why is divorce law so punitive in Canada (a lifetime of alimony payments for marriages ending after ten years) discouraging people from getting married? Why does the Canadian government hate Canadians so much and is not reversing the destructive laws of Steven Harper and the conservatives? Is it the goal of the Canadian government to kill us Canadians and replace us all with immigrants who look like Canada's Aboriginal people? If so then why doesn't Canada protect white people from Aboriginal people so that white people can succeed in Canada?
Raises multiple economic concerns (unemployment, housing, jobs) alongside demographic replacement anxiety and discriminatory framing.

I have seen all across southern Ontario that when Indians set up businesses here, they only hire their own, why doesn't the government make sure jobs are equally distributed? It's not fair to the natives. Facts not racism.

As a Canadian, what do we do? Every entry to mid level job has been taken by the fine folks in the video, never mind what has happened to the housing market.
