It's true though. I couldn't get a job for over two years, I applied EVERYWHERE, they would say they're not hiring, then a week later I'll see a new worker or two being trained and guess what? they're indian/punjab (sorry, unsure all the proper terms of people or the differences). Not to mention that they treat indigenous women the way they would back home.... Pretty much every person I know (I'm indigenous and have experienced it myself) has experienced some sort of harassment or assault or whateva with them... And yes, I know it's not all of them, I also know some great people that are indian/punjab but I'm not going to act like there isn't a problem....... Then people think indigenous people get "hand outs"... I was broke for over two years, I tried welfare, it's not as easy as it seems to people lol Also, I'm sure I'm wrong, but I always assumed Immigration was like... reserved for people that need it kind of like refugees.
Combines lived experience of job-seeking difficulties with unsubstantiated claims about harassment patterns and anecdotal observations about immigrant hiring.

Im a Canadian and honestly I've NEVER had a problem finding a job, I don't even have my highschool... I think it has to do with *which* jobs they are applying for. I get that theres an "immigration" problem, the refusal to adapt and assimilate feels like a slap in the face especially when the same few will talk I'll of the same system they benefit from. HOWEVER I don't think it's good to lump all of these problems together and dump collective blame on immigrants. For 1, all this immigration and policies have happened under a liberal government and y'all voted then in, AGAIN. - clearly you're not THAT desperate for change. 2nd. Are the ones saying they can't find work willing to work in trades? General laborers making $25-$30+++ No experience required. Tradespeople are glad to teach people willing to work hard and learn.. What about warehouse work? Apply to your 5 closest warehouses, I guarantee youll get in 1.. ALSO the government IS willing to help Canadians get little certifications like forklift, smartserve, CPR.. Career colleges can help with training (e.g - computer) as well as soft skills. So yeah, I wonder if it's people being just as picky as they were when Canada wasn't in the economical shitter it is in rn? Maybe Im far luckier or fortunate than most? Maybe expectations are too high? Maybe some stubbornly refuse assistance they are entitled to? Im not sure, but I do sympathize/empathize with you guys, I hope you all can "get through". I pray we can find solutions to this insane cost of living / broken housing market / price gouging / tiny group of business owners having a complete market control and a monopoly on everything thing we need to survive - without competition, limitations or government regulation🫩. Stay strong Canada! 💙Don't let the hate consume you!❤️ 🇨🇦We will overcome🇨🇦
Begins with personal experience finding employment, then pivots to nuanced policy critique and moral argument against collective blame of immigrants.

So many cucks bro. Im born here and yeah it sucks so many of my ppl came here but they are getting deprorted and many are going home. It was good for ppl here for a long time until the new ppl started showing up. Aside from that these videos make ppl who lived here for generations also look bad. A sikh solider on 1 stamp and everyone started freaking out without knowing context. Everyday i see ppl blaming the action of 1 person on everyone, culture, and etc. I see ppl actively lying and many ppl actaully believing in jt. These ppl highlight only the bad as the biggest picture leaving out the actual story.
First-person account of being born in Canada, critiquing both immigration policy and media representation while defending against stereotyping.

Dude, 12 years ago, I knew a girl who loved to screw illegal aliens, and one paid me $100 to drive him to 0 Avenue in Surrey, BC. He jumped the fence and was gone in a minute through a farmer's field. That's easy. Why pay 6K when you can do it for free? Thanks for showing the LIBERAL/NDP of Canada's third-world downfall.
Presents a first-person anecdote about illegal border crossing combined with partisan political criticism and unsubstantiated claims about government policy.
