Thank you for this report on Brampton. For context, I am a 4th generation Canadian, my ancestors immigrated here a few years prior to confederation in 1867. I have worked in the tool and die industry for decades and many of my associates work for or manage tool and die businesses in Brampton. Everyone in Brampton knows what is changing there. When I try to explain to my friends that what is happening in Brampton is not balanced, they do not understand, they think I am a racist. I told them that my Indian friends in Brampton feel the same way I do. They look at me like a deer in the headlights. Nothing has turned me against a politician so vehemently as Justin Trudeau's management of immigration. The man had no idea how to effectively manage immigration in a way which would integrate people into a culture and society such as Canada. That certainly is not creating a microcosm of one nation in a city.

This stuff is so overblown. Indian people are cool, they'll become fuuly assimilated Canadians in a few generations. "White" Canadians today count as people from all over Europe, when in the past they were all different and all fear mongered about each other

I visited Brampton over New Year's 2018. I couldn't believe how huge the Indian community was at the time. The weather was extremely brutal, so we didn't go out much. Everywhere we did go was ALL Indian! I was visiting a friend's family. I remember asking him if there were any cultural conflicts between the immigrants and the Canadians. At the time, it didn't seem to be a problem. Evidently, a lot has changed since then!

The Canadian White Man will never accept that they themselves are immigrants and have destroyed the livelihood of the original inhabitants, the First Nation People and the Inuit, Metis, etc. What these White Skins say about Indians today is what the First nation people say about the white skins. The First Nation people cultivated the land, lived in harmony and took care of their society. The Indians do the same. The only odd man out here is the White Skins. The White Skins colonized the Canadian land. The White Skins also colonized the Indian subcontinent for nearly 200 years. But where the First Nations people lost the wars and were packed into Reservations, Indians fought, won and expelled the White Skins. Then the Indians went where ever the White Skins went. But the difference is that Indians never colonized the land. They always adapted to the native land, culture, language, customs and resources while also maintaining the connect to their land of origin. While White Skins converted the natives, the Indians adapted to the natives and also shared the cultural values. While the White Skins arrogantly executed the natives and exploited their resources, Indians learned to co-exist by adapting and learning. While the White Skins were busy profiteering from the misery of the natives, Indians shared knowledge, power, wealth, education and lived by ancient cultural values passed on from generations that have survived disasters, wars, misery and greed.

Funny how everyone screams about immigrants and Indians ‘ruining Brampton,’ but no one bats an eye when billions of OUR tax dollars are shipped to Ukraine. The real issue isn’t people trying to make a living — it’s governments that failed to plan for housing, infrastructure, and affordability. Stop blaming immigrants for problems created by bad leadership. we get all the hate while working the jobs many young Canadians don’t even want to show up for. Not all immigrants work on cash and not all of us are the same — we’re out here paying taxes, grinding hard

Canada has a long history of ignoring India’s warnings about Khalistan. They give asylum to extremists just to shame India, but in the end Canada itself suffers. Many Indians think moving abroad changes everything but my own friend, an engineering graduate, is working as a cashier in Canada while he had a good job offer in India. Indians, have some dignity. Don’t blindly chase the Canadian dream.

My only problem with immigrants is that when you are in another country, you should conform to that country not try to make it a replica of your former country. Many don't even want to learn the language. Anyway from the video, the number of unemployed Canadians are not because of the Indians, they just don't want to work hard to earn a living, they want handouts. Most look like homeless druggies, don't blame others for what you did to yourself. If you are unhappy where you are, Canada is a big place go somewhere else and start over.

i often hear Canadian natives and Indians in the same sentence.

I love india and I love Indians. I spent a lot of time in India. They are amazing. But this is wrong and it is the fault of the canadians.

Indians leaving their shithole, to make Canada a shithole. Of course they are happy, and the rest of Canadians are not

The government really messed up. Before Canadians were so accepting of others. Now the majority of people I know hate Indians now. Just had an Indian driver run a red this morning and almost hit a mother and child... how do you not get mad and fed up with that?!

The government of Canada allowed these Indians to come to Canada in excessive large numbers. They abuse every system of Canada, change the culture of Canada, buy out all businesses in Canada, and employ only their own Indians. They don't drive for licenses, they own the depot, and they don't need credits for loans at the banks because they own the banks. They fight out and make it difficult for all other ethnic groups in Canada. Justin Trudeau seems to have allowed 90% of Indians to immigrate to Canada and 10% of other ethnic backgrounds combined. Trudeau has caused the Canadian culture to be transformed into Indian culture. Canada is no longer Canada. it's become India, and it's extremely unfair to all other ethnic groups. Their agenda is for Canada to be 100% Indians. Canada is in BIG TROUBLE. The Indians are in every organizations and industries, including Immigration, buying out all the franchises, businesses and are the ones fighting against all other ethnic cultured groups, making the system more difficult for other nations to migrate to Canada. Even crime has increased. Canadians need to wake up before Canada totally disappears. The Indians are messing up the Canadian economy. The majority of Indians are here through false documents and don't even speak proper English or even understand the language. Canada is in TROUBLE. They are highly Discriminative. Only making sure Canada only employs Indians in all sectors, not Blacks, not Whites, not Chinese or other Ethnic groups, but only Indians themselves. It seems the Indians are seeking to totally take over Canada and become a world power. This is my view and that of many true concerned Canadian citizens and professionals who care about this country, Canada. The culture has changed and become DISCRIMINATIVE. These Indians are Extremely Extremely RACIST

I saw it first hand in my workplace. A major delivery company (not Amazon). Used to be mostly Canadians, until about 2 years ago. The majority are now young Indian guys who speak their own language amongst themselves. Even the new manager speaks Hindi. Work conditions have worsened because these people are willing to do much more for low wages. They drive erratically and treat the country like their playground to make money. This is the future of Canada.

I live in Brampton, i am all for diversity but where is the diversity if everyone is Indian. I am French originally and i am in a minority of one! Let's be clear, the massive Indian increase in the population is due to Trudeau's immigration policy, the indians did not jump over the border as some of the comments suggest, they mostly came here legally, and this was done without broad agreement of the Canadian population as a whole. Canadian population went from being 30 million inhabitants to 40 millions in just over a decade, a massive population increase in a short time due mostly to Indian immigration with huge impact on housing , cost of housing, infrastructure, jobs, taxes, etc... The liberals have a lot to answer for the disaster which Canada has become in the last 10 years and yes they got rid off Trudeau, but they are still in power, stiffling the potential economic growth of Canada which should be a rich country instead of being a country where many people live from pay cheques to pay cheques.

man these videos are irritating. GUYS the government doesnt give a damn if the new immigrants assimilate.... THEY ARE AFTER THE immigrants CHILDREN! the ones that will be born here and go through the Canadian brainwash system. The birth rate is at 1.4 it needs to be at 2.1 thats why they NEED indians, INDIANS have MASSIVE FAMILIES thats exactly what the government is after., AND whites saying they are a minority? THEY make up 70% of canada Indians make up 7% THE hell you imbeciles talking about minority LMAO.

As a Indian I feel it's not good thing Canada belongs to local canadians not immigrants who migrated years ago this is how invasion looks like if not stopped this people will keep increasing some of this people even take double status from India and Canada giving them political rights is most dangerous hope your Canadian government wakes up from deep sleep

I live in Brampton. One small thing that bugs me is every year at Christmas time the grocery chain Sobey's does not respect this holiday. This woke crap company says "Holiday" and yet all year long put up signs in their stores about "Ed" and "Ramadan". They can't say the word "Christmas" !! Us white Canadians make this company what it is today, NOT these people from India. It's wrong. I really hate these woke companies. And thanks to these ignorant Indian people we are not allowed to do fire works on Canada Day because they had to ruin that for us as well by setting off fire works all the time at all hours of the night during their holidays. Fire works of any kind are now banned.

Americans are facing issues with Indian origin border inspectors. if you don't stop this non sense. America will target Indian Canadians. Respect the American Passport Holders.

The Canadian government just import millions of Indians into Canada to take away all the jobs from native Canadians.

Student Visa for Indians is kind of PR.... Canadian government should revamp immigration policy and visa guidelines

I truly hope people will take the time to see the Canadian Indian content on YouTube, there is a culture of bragging about taking over, they celebrate the outrage. These are not people who were raised to share the values of Canadians, and they can't ever be taught, certainly not if they're allowed to take over entire cities.

this is what happens when u allow a million indians into canada, they wont learn the canadian culture or faith or laws and they will make their own country inside canada. canada is fucked

This is not just some natural form of osmosis where Indian people randomly end up in Canada. This was an intentional policy of the Canadian government to change the demographics of the country. The Canadian people have been PLAYED FOR FOOLS.

Canada wanted foreigners to do the dirty work - menial work Millions of educated indians got green card - without having a job They came to canada - they found out 30% found jobs - 70% did low pay work And Brampton - brown town - erupted - symbol of Canadian Greed

After the Amin saga in Uganda, Canada and Uk invited the Indians to their countries, because they were interested in what they could do to boost their economy, why are they complaining now? Those are now Canadians

My guess is most Indians want to come to Canada. Most Canadians would never want to go to India. That should tell you something. have Trudeau and Carney go live in Brampton..

The problem is canadian government specifically chose radical seperatist, instead of genuine indians.

Interesting I have Canadian friends who have mentioned the Indian people here. I wonder how the Natives feel about all of this the Cree & Anishinaabe folk

Yes in the 80’s as a new emigrants we had to work for our living. We never ever thought to get help from the government we are all integrated in to a Canadian society. We paid taxes from the day one that made us true Canadian citizens. Which I’m a very proud of. In my street two houses own by East Indians They don’t take care of their properties like us taking care of our property. Should I assimilate in to there’s way of life ? Or they should assimilate into our society? The answer to this question is very simple . Assimilate to our way of life or move back to India.

Just drive out the English Canadians as they've brought the Indians to there. Canada is a French-Speaking Red country. How are overall treated refugees from Ukraine, Palestine, Syria and Sudan in this City?

Immigration has increased because the government needs more people for the economy. The population 25+ years ago was enough to keep with the costs and demand. Now, Canada probably has a lot of demand and needs an influx of people both for education and jobs. Indians are enticed to come because they hear about towns that cater towards Indians like Brampton. Chinese people used to be the majority of immigrants and that was because Chinatowns would cater to them. Not to mention, these immigrants likely have temporary worker or student visas. These an whole thing with the student visas but I don't want to get into it. So Amazon and other large companies need a lot of workers for their demand and look outside of Canada to fill the job numbers. Meanwhile, Canadians that have been here for awhile are on the streets and jobless. So basically, Canada needs immigration for its demand but I think when too many people come all at once and from usually one country, Canadians will notice the change and feel the tensions that come with it.

This isn't immigration and assimilation. This is invasion. I think if you come to Canada, you are no longer a Sikh, Muslim, Indian etc. You're Canadian. There shouldn't be sub-cultures inside Canada. We shouldn't see people's skin color. If anything, we are MORE obsessed with skin color than we were in the 90s.

I have watched this video and i just want to say that indian people from Hindu and sikh or any other community except muslims will respect canadian culture and rules of Canadian govt. They are hardworking. I also request people from the community as mentioned above, please respect the nation and their culture and don't try to make Canada to India.

Indian people taking over and building up and bringing up the economy! Okay! It is making us Canadians say, “too much!” At least you heard the last 4 minutes! But, Whites, Blacc’s and whoever else still left behind competing in an old world and fighting and being indifferent about race still! Yeah Fucc y’all! The Indian people see Brown and sticc to a motive while everyone else fighting! Canadian’s and American’s will doom themselves!

They're not Canadian, bud! That would be like if I move to India that would make me an East Indian.

Canadian people should force the indians to learn their culture the way canadians live if i ever live in in canada i will myself learn canadian way of living because i too don't like my indian culture

8:37 Complete bullshit!!! You can't drive an uber without a Canadian license. Dude is just pissed to see Indians. They all look similar? Yeah yeah we do. 😂

I am First Nations and I have been concerned about how the face and language of Canada has changed. The first thing we noticed in our small town was that the taxi companies were taken over by East Indians. Now days you are hard pressed to get a taxi anywhere in Canada and get a driver who hails from India. I used to like Tim Horton's until I needed an interpreter to make my order, one doesn't speak English so, she had to get another worker to take my order. You go into any 7/11 or any gas station, or convenience store. All are staffed by people from India. But, it isn't just Indians. There are many other immigrants coming to Canada from China, Japan etc. None of these immigrants do not speak very good English. I have faced prejudice from these people who do not recognize my rights as an indigenous person. Going for an xray, blood test the field is mostly Asian. I have to get cataract surgery and I couldn't understand the Chinese receptionist and had to spell most of what I said to her. That means their business is mostly with Chinese-speaking people. As a First Nations person my status will always be a minority. With every immigrant that comes to Canada my status as an indigenous person diminishes. Taking transit shows me that english or french are ever spoken. Canadians are the new minority.

East Indians is the proper term.Not to be mixed up with Canadian Indians.

It's so tragic to see this video. It's a loss of Canadian culture. This happened in my hometown of London, England. I moved to Sydney, Australia, and since the start of the pandemic, the country has been flooded with Indians. I no longer want to live in what feels like Mumbai and am considering moving to Portugal.

It's called brown town for a reason. LIsten to the racism. It used to be a no color town she says. A Canadian Karen. They are people from India. How dare you address people BY THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN? Sorry, you weren't economically successful or supportive as the Sikhs and other Indians are. That's how it is demographic change. At least they aren't stealing and murdering others like the other humans

Canadians should not worry about Indian immigrants because because most of those are Punjabis (Sikhs) they are harmless people.

i m feeeling so Proud as n indian immigrant that these so called canadians(white immigrants) they cant see us growing , it indicates we're going goood..... fuvk u fake canadian , every single individual on this stolen land is canadian as long he's contributing social and economilcally ,,,,, to country

I see a lot of complete bullshit in the comments and in the comments from Canadians in the video. In what world do Indian immigrants not pay taxes? That's not a Canadian policy

The government needs to investigate why most fastfood restaurants only hires Indian?, why security companies only hire Indians? Why most call centers only hire indians? Mcdonald's and Tim hortons owe canadian an explanation. The minster of labor must be held accountable.

Good luck but you are bit late…..There is a big difference between Sikh and Khalistani ….Khalistanis are extrimist groups they live along with good Sikhs…. They both wear Turban…this khalistanis thwy Come to canada they fake asylum seekers…recently khalistanis in Canada has attacked Hindu communities in canada and police has done nothing to stop protect them ….they have attacked Hindu Temples and police were just watching them…they also burned down Indian consulate in San Francisco two years back they constantly threatened Indian embassy Indian consulate ambassador….if you think they have just attacked Indian or Hindus they don’t attacked Canadian…but you might be living in delusion they can turn around on actual Canadian also if you think you are red neck they are 10 time more red neck than you …so you are late they are all over places in your Government , they have formed political parties too they are in yoyr country airport security,Government offices,Border security all over so Good luck…There are millions and millions good Sikhs In India who Loves India and serve India too with pride,…just search for Gurupatwant singh pannun he runs khalistanis extrimist movement from your country Canada and also from America

I’m a white American recently retired at 63. There are millions here and in Canada that are / will be collecting Social Security or the Canadian Equivalent. If we want those funds to be there in the future we absolutely MUST have immigration. In my family we had 11 girls born 1994-2006. Exactly 2 of these women are moms and they have 1 kid. That’s called population collapse. Any economy to continue prospering needs a continual supply of new workers paying taxes. White people ain’t doing it. Whether it’s Indians in Canada or Hispanics in the US, we need these people. These immigrant communities also practice the principles that made America/ Canada great. Faith family and community. Anyone heard of the recent trend in America of kids in their 20s-40s want to divorce their PARENTS??? Yeah it’s a thing. I bet there’s not a whisper of that garbage in immigrant communities. I’m all for it. We need these people. And that’s the plain truth.

Indians are destroying canada. They have bought almost all our franchises and housing companies, and are only employing their own. 25% of canadian young adults are unemployed because of them. They do not have a right to be here. They cry racists if we criticises anythibg. I don't care anymore. It's in every city

Most of them are South Asians but they are Canadians, not indians. Just like you are caucassian and Canadian, white people also originally didnt exist in this land. This video screams racism. Almost all of the people you see are legal immigrants , the government gives half a million PRs every year.

As First Nations is Indian they are claiming Canada 🇨🇦 is belong to them and they will take it back The terrible part is any business they run except their own kind they never hire other Canadians
