Canada 🇨🇦 has undergone RADICAL demographic shifts & that reality is wholly diruptive if I’m putting it lightly. The USA 🇺🇸 has seen quite a bit of this as well. Our only hope is to dissolve the H-1B & related programs, then begin mass deporting those on Visas, plus eliminate the birthright citizenship loophole.

lol that guy in the beginning saying they don’t pay taxes, buddy you literally get paid by the govt to do drugs and what taxes a homeless man pays ?

As a Brampton raised kid, I lived there from 97' till about 2023, I'm caribbean and we have a large indian/muslim/hindu population too on our island. (Trinidad) and the issue with Brampton is: Indian people will gladly intergrade, but Canadian borns won't welcome it. Walk with me- I'll use food for an example. Every other grocery store is middle eastern/asian/african in Brampton and its becomes harder finding more western style food. I love international food, I cook it often but if you're used to burgers and pizza and only know how to make spaghetti it feels like a 'take over' These people want what they want and even though all these places are free for you to also enjoy they don't like it cause it's too 'foreign' to them. It doesn't mean there isnt still a No Frills or a Walmart or Metro, but because the african and halal store are closer and more frequent it seems like more of a convenience to others and not to you. When people say we're multi-cultural, they mean 'yeah he's brown or black but he keeps it to himself' They aren't going to go to that Sikh temple giving free food, and only go to the church at the beginning even though they're welcome to both. It's the same for Diwali and other things, white people dont care to be interested in those things, and just wonder why they get to have it at all. I do agree with that indian lady at the beginning though, with lax immigration you come in feeling like you don't need to do anything to assimilate. They're doing themselves a disservice by only helping themselves. I hate stereotypes being perpetuated onto people but like that Pakistani guy said too, you live in a bubble and you don't pay attention to that. You can go days without speaking english to someone. You can't immigrate somewhere and shut out everyone already there. I get you may not feel welcome by the white people like the ones in the beginning and so you dont mess with them, and its easy not to. But there needs to be openness with helping everyone benefit from multi-culturalism and not just some of us. There are issues with immigrants not wanting to go outside their bubble and for canadians not to want to either, It'll be hard to (with the current issues we're facing as a country) to actually blend together more.

It don't matter how you say it... It's plain and simple. Canada let to many criminals and organized crime members into Canada. This is a small part of how they get into countries and take over countries. Wake up and pay attention to the last 10 years history of England, France, Germany etc concerning immigrants coming in and how it changed their Whole Countries.. And NOT FOR THE BETTER!!!Canada will be worse off because no one stands up for Canada's values and history. It's just"sorry, ok you can do that", oh am I infringing on your rights/ beliefs from another country.. Than let me change how everything is done here to accommodate you so you will be happy. Let me take away all the customs Canadians were brought up with because it might offend you. Now, you can take over our country. That's the beginning.

So How is Colonialism working out for you white folks now that you are on the other side of it. I am not Indian. I am NDN. I have suffered White Colonialism all my life. Now you white folks are beginning to suffer Indian Colonialism. I really don't feel sorry for you.

Wow now you are figuring out. We knew it from beginning when govt allowed people in massive flow.no checking properly, bringing people who can give money to come... Now what are you doing about it rather than talking?

Canada has changed significantly in recent years, and I believe our post-COVID immigration policies have played a major role in the challenges we’re facing today. Here’s how things went off track: Many individuals who couldn’t pass the IELTS (English proficiency test) entered the country on visitor visas or through spousal sponsorships—some of which were questionable or fraudulent. During that time, the government was converting visitor visas into work permits with little to no scrutiny. Background checks and rejections were rare. Meanwhile, colleges rapidly expanded their intake capacity—understandably so, since international students pay three to four times more in tuition. At the same time, due to inflationary pressures, the government allowed international students to work 40 hours per week instead of the previous 20-hour limit. This created a new, ready-to-work labor force in just a year or two, heavily impacting the retail sector. As a result, a large portion of retail jobs shifted toward a single ethnic group, while many Canadian citizens found themselves sidelined. One key factor was flexibility. Many immigrant communities—particularly Indian—were more willing to accept irregular hours and last-minute shifts, often adopting a more compliant, “yes sir” attitude that employers found appealing. However, I’m already beginning to notice changes in the retail landscape, likely due to the government finally tightening immigration rules. Going forward, we don’t need to close our doors—but we do need smarter immigration policies, with proper checks and balances, to ensure fairness and sustainability for everyone.

All these problems caused by fraud, begin with a Canadian taking bribes to look the other way and RCMP&BorderPatrol found ish. The politicians are now seeking mileage as if they just found out about non compliance today. Nothing will change I am sorry.. but pockets will be lined.

Canada needs this shit business to run its paralel economy. The govt knew from the begining itself that all their documents are fraud. if they had the money to study in canada., they would have gone to USA. not come to canada.

Why blame India for this issue? An entire ecosystem lures students with false promises of a better life in Canada, charging them exorbitant fees, often around $60,000. Upon arrival, these students find themselves stranded, unable to afford returning home, and forced into low-wage labor. This system begins with the overstaffed Canadian embassy in India, which issues visas, enabling those who profit from this cheap labor in canada. India itself is not responsible. In fact, when Indian authorities raised concerns about criminals exploiting this system to flee to Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau deflected by accusing India in the Nijjar case. White Canadians also share responsibility, as they have not taken the time to understand this issue. Indians who migrated to Canada before 2021 are likely to suffer due to this situation.

I am tired of people coming to Canada and not understanding why most Canadians celebrate Halloween And when we ask a Person that comes here if they take their children out for Halloween they say i Quote: We dont believe in the Devil only in jesus christ...This is a miss understanding and frankly an insult. So here you go.....Info for you! ...............Canadians celebrate Halloween due to its roots in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, which was brought to Canada by Irish and Scottish immigrants in the 19th century. While the original celebrations focused on appeasing spirits and marking the end of the harvest, modern Canadians celebrate for fun and community, participating in activities like trick-or-treating, costume parties, and decorating homes with jack-o'-lanterns. Historical Origins Celtic Festival: Halloween's origins lie in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced "sah-win"), which marked the end of summer and the harvest season and the beginning of the dark, cold winter months. Blurred Boundaries: Celts believed that on the night of October 31st, the boundary between the world of the living and the world of the dead blurred, allowing spirits to roam the earth. Pagan Practices: To ward off evil spirits and to celebrate the harvest, people would dress in costumes, light bonfires, and prepare food offerings. All Hallows' Eve: Over time, the tradition merged with Christianity. All Saints' Day was established on November 1st, and the night before became known as All Hallows' Eve, a contraction of which led to the word "Halloween". Arrival in Canada Immigrant Traditions: The customs of Halloween were brought to North America, including Canada, by large numbers of Irish and Scottish immigrants in the mid-1800s. Cultural Adaptation: Over generations, these traditions evolved into the modern holiday we see today, incorporating new elements and becoming a popular cultural event. Modern Celebrations Fun and Community: Today, Canadians celebrate Halloween for the fun and mystery it offers, fostering a sense of community and togetherness. Popular Activities: Common activities include dressing in costumes, carving pumpkins to create jack-o'-lanterns, decorating homes, attending parties, and the popular tradition of trick-or-treating. Cultural Experience: For newcomers, Halloween in Canada is an exciting opportunity to experience Canadian culture and connect with neighbors. This helps out Canadian businesses as well. So next time someone asks you at least you will know to not use the Devil reason! We are not Mexico! Go look up their calibrations! Quite insulting Canada and learn our Celebrations if you chose to come here! Than You for your time!

These so-called international students from India are all part of the scam they know what they're getting themselves into!!! they are all part of it. they never planned on studying to begin with. their scam is to enter Canada on fraudulent student visas just to shamelessly claim asylum. So disgusting!!! these people all need to be deported back where they came from and where they belong!

oh man....what to say... Canadians, this is only the beginning. You'll be SHOCKED when SCALE really kicks in.

Coming to Canada soon "A Muslim migrant enters a restaurant in Monaco and begins to pray. The manager politely asks him to leave, but he refuses and says that Muslims have the right to pray wherever they want… The Europe we once knew is sinking; there is a new landlord… (Mabaterror)"

The thing that concerns me about Westerners is their lack of global awareness. You let people in with vines-like culture and when the vines choke the indigenous plants, you begin to complain.

What the fuck is original immigrants and new immigrants. Immigrants are immigrants. He's just trying to make the claim that white people are the "original" immigrants and brown people are some how inferior to them. Let's be honest, white people stole the land from the natives and they talk like it was theirs from the beginning of time. The interviewer is an asshole.

anyone of any race, sexuality, gender-identity, etc. can go to a gurdwara for langar (volunteer-prepared free fresh meals 24/7). hopefully the people at the beginning of the video realize that

I think the Pakistani Guy nailed it! When the economy cannot siphon people into the workforce you form a nexus to survive. It eventually evolves into a closed group that is then seen as a non-integrated community. This is not unique to Canada. Usually first generation immigrants who came in the 70s, 80s and 90s (and 2000s in case of mainland Europe) were treated quite poorly, not given enough opportunities and looked down upon. But they kept their heads down and worked hard with a resolve that their children would be of equal stature. While doing so they created networks and support systems that will help them survive and eventually thrive. This network worked very well for a while untill new generation immigrants came in and became a part of the network but had no idea what went in creating that safe space to begin with. Thus the clashes!

Homeless guy at the beginning saying they do not pay taxes is peak Trailer Park Boys. He knows how to spell ODSP for sure. Not saying mass immigration is a good thing but being lectured from white 4th generation welfare recipients is probably not where the message should come from.

Happiness and joy are largely natural e. first time you hold your baby child/grandchild/niece/nephew etc. No one ever taught you to feel what you did in that moment. Hate and bigotry are learned. From family, school, friends, TV (hello Fox News), internet (influencers, comments made by others). Hatred and bigotry also require work and effort. To maintain your hatred, you need to apply an effort. Like building a fire. Once it begins to start, need to add sticks, wood etc. Not the case with happiness and joy

I don't see this as a social problem, Canadians are from everywhere, we are not inherently racist because we are voicing the mess Canada is turning into. It's a Political problem. The last governments have quietly opened up immigration without providing infrastructure to support them. Taxpayers dollars have been dolled out for new immigrant's housing and living. This is akin to welfare in that there is no incentive to begin to work and make your own life when the federal government is supporting them with our tax dollars...and first generation Canadians are afraid to speak up for fear of sounding racist. Ridiculous. This has to stop and change. I'm planning on leaving. It's headed for disaster. I see the light.

Well...we all see it, we all live it, we all know what the problem is, we all know how it came about, and we all know what has to happen...An example, can be seen, by looking to the South.. We know it takes us goin out to the poles by the millions, to vote, in order to elect, who we think is best for the country,..but then we expect small groups, of only a few100, to be capable of affecting change, with such major, post electoral issues, as this. Make no mistake, this, Canada, has already become a completely different place,..it's no longer the home we knew and loved, as it was. All those aspects are gone. And this is just the beginning. Wars Will Happen, in our cities.. Yes I'm just some guy that was born here in Canada, 61yrs ago. What I'm saying, is what I've been seeing, for decades. Rules and guidelines, and laws, need to passed. If you come to a foreign country, to live,..you practice, and learn their ways, and become one with them. None of this Social Separation B.S...If you want to live as you did in the country you left, find a secluded island, or go back to where you came from. It,s not just illegals that are being a problem.

We the Canadian were known to be polite and and helped each other begins an immigrant myself i feel stuck in the middle of this because we were respected in the 70's 80's 90' 20s even 2010 every thing was great but the last 10_ 15 years things have gone down the drain.

There are a lot of issues around immigration. Firstly, the IRCC filters receiving low skilled people, second most of them are located on main cities and provinces, most of the country is empty and finally if you are gonna keep your traditions here, do it inside your four walls. I begin to understand why Québec is willing to be independent.

I am a new permanent resident in Canada. This video is very true regarding our integration. You are absolutely right. Newcomers must integrate, as it is the beginning of a new life in a new environment. What I do not fully agree with is when you complain about the social benefits given by the government to newcomers. It is not free money; we will pay it back later in taxes. We cannot build life projects depending on these benefits. Ask each newcomer if they are satisfied with these benefits rather than a good job. We want to contribute to the economy of this beautiful country. For example, I came to Canada with specific goals, including starting an IT company, which was difficult to achieve at home due to lack of opportunities. So, don't blame immigrants too much; in my opinion, responsibilities should be shared among all of us, including the government.

Between immigrants and other countries that take tax money from the system is the reason why we are in the situation we are in. You may say why is that. I say the billions of dollars spent elsewhere could be spent on the people where it was taken from in the beginning. Canadians could be not living under the poverty rate or homeless or this opioid addiction do you know how much the medication cost for suboxone or methadone 375 a month. Meanwhile the cost for a prescription of hydromorphone cast 130 to 150 a month. So sick of how much money goes on this big opioid crisis and how much it could be helped. Housing homelessness could be solved. The list goes on the billions of dollars could help the Canadian people's. Mental health is at an all-time high what do you think people are going to do soon mabe look at the fires that happened purposely. Or soon to be homegrown terrorists. All because of spending tax money carelessly add not giving the citizens what they deserve. Sad butt it's inedible.

I disagree with one thing you said at the beginning of this well done video. You said have we become too passive or too conservative? No, Conservatives haven't had a voice in the past 10 years. We've become too Liberal. It was JT with his government and advisors like MC, who did this.

why are they coming here to begin with India is a democracy ,

I stand with this woman. I stand with all the people in the beginning of this video as a white man. I see other people, and they see me. You will not judge me for my skin. Cause I do not judge you for yours. I acknowledge that we are different races, but we are still humans, I was raised Canadian through-and-through. To be kind of people is so deeply and rooted in my blood but then it hurts that I let people do the things they have.This woman is right We need to hold people accountable.Canada is not the country it used to be

Immigrants are necessary, BUT ONLY TO POINT. We need to shut our borders to new immigrants and begin working around what we have. As a man who has grown up in Canada, I have seen us morph from an economic powerhouse to wasted potential. Add in strict criteria for being able to come to Canada, incentivize construction of new infrastructure, and add in new laws for all these immigrants that dictate what they can and cannot do in Canada. This ain't no free ride, people! Get off the government gravy train and start working in places OTHER than entry-level work! Leave that for teens and twentiers!

Coming back to basics, how can any human being call another human being a "racist" when we are all of the same humanity. All of the same body of the HUMAN RACE which bleeds the same color of blood, cry the same salty tasting tears, sweat the same as others etc This when the only apparent true difference is that we all have a slightly to stronger <<nuance/shade/skin tone>> of brown. Why brown? Well, in the beginning, God took some earth from the ground and formed HUMAN KIND. Oh! Isn't Earth kind of having various teints of brown? YEAH! same weat different shades/skin tone.

SADLY CANADA IS GETTTING EXACTLY WHAT THEY DESERVE THIS IS JUST THE BEGINING RIGHT NOW IF WE WAKE UP WE COULD CHANGE IT ALL TAKE A DAM PEN PICK UP YOUR DAM PHONE WALK TO YOUR MP AND MLA GET OUT OF YOUR SYNICAL PESSIMISTIC SELFISH MODE AND WORK TO CHANGE THINGS PRICE OF FREEDOM IS ETERNAL VIGILANCE JUST FANCY WORDS ? CALL YOUR APATHY WHAT IT IS SIN. LAZINESS SHUT DOWN WOKE PATHETIC LEFT WING SOCIALIST/COMMUNIST MEDIA LIKE CBC ETC. OR SUFFER AND SHUT UP

I agree with over percent with what the white women said at th e beginning.. The part that she actually does have to hear and accept is the truth..Her ancestors were and are colonizers, those are basic truths.. But the Government must turn the taps down on immigration right away, it is totally out of control.. Things are at the point where no one Zero more immigrants from India and Pakistan should be allowed to enter the country, for at least the next few years , until the government can get a true handle on things.. I really don't think the government officials have any idea of the pace at which Canada is rapidly changing.. It is mind boggling the rapid changes and that's from every single nook and cranny of this once beautiful country you will see new immigrants.. There are places i went to as a child with my folks, where you would never have seen nothing but white people, maybe a few native people, a couple of black and oriental folks and that was it.. Now there are car loads of east Indians running around some actually living in those communities.. I am not a racist person, but that's my own observation on the ground.. I think every single Canadian in this country would have the exact reaction..

Exactly you can't take care of the ones that were here from the beginning yet the immigrants get way better treatment. Canada rise up! Start making things difficult for them. They will backstab you in 2 seconds especially the ones that are clearly absurdly abusing the system.

Canada and Europe need to vote the leftist out of power!!!! Then the mass expulsions can begin to rescue western civilization

I completely agree with the black fella in the beginning. I am from Guyana and sadden to see the direction this country is heading. Specifically Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs. It is a mistake letting these people in, they bring no value to this country.

The 'well-managed' immigration system didn't start to be poorly managed during the pandemic, but before that: roughly coinciding with the beginning of the Trudeau government. It's there on the graph.

There’s nothing like that ever it’s all alive. What you saying? This is just the wish of some bigots. You’re feeling all your doctors and other professional gaps and you’re given all the lower jobs from restaurants to any other lower jobs that Canadians don’t wanna do. Yes you’re right. An immigrant family can come here and six years later have a house because they share all the family by a house because they have a family value. The earlier arrivals here to buy house is a big dream they won’t make it except the privileged the work by family members and oil rigs are the professionals. This country use built by immigrants all it is the early arrivals and the late arrivals. To begin with this is a stolen country. At least the immigrants are coming by legal method, but the early arrivals they just stole it by killing the natives.

Yeah - cancel them all, 2022 onwards!!! Charity begins at home. Let's fix our problems here first, they can come another day.

The world has a problem that begins with T. It's not an unsolvable problem, though. Plenty of remedies are available.

Just remember that is Canada was giving a shelter for a Ukrainian nazi collaborators after 1945 and begins all this horrible war from the beginning.

You know the US has lost the plot when Trudeau begins to sound sane.

Seeing people actually fall for this guy’s B.S. you can begin to comprehend how the Egyptians worshiped an insect. In light of rabid anti Americanism in Canada, President Trump would be wise to fortify and close the border as a defensive measure against invasion, infiltration, and sabotage. Canada has made it clear they’d rather spend a lot more to ship oil to China’s Communist Dictator Xi Jin Ping in Asia and back than pay a modest 10% tariff and send oil down an already working pipeline to next door America. Contrary to some mega ignorant comments, The U.S.A. is rich in natural resources and can be self sufficient. We just have to resume use of resources that were shut down by the appropriately initialed Barak Obama, Biden-Harris, and deep state bureaucrats in Washington. President Trump can accomplish this with our support. Shop carefully and please do not buy anything from Canada. Leave all Canadian goods to rot on the shelf. You won’t regret not making it to the Miss Hockey Puck festival in balmy Churchill Manitoba either. Other protective measures should be immediate cancellation of all visas and green cards held by Canadians and their deportation from U.S. territory.

I am so sorry for what my government is doing. ashamed and frightened because at least half of us do not know what to do to stop this insanity. We all are hurting and will be hurting more and this is just the beginning> of four years. omg

??? it’s so interesting being able to see things in a different perspective. I’m so glad Trump became the president again. My family’s wealth has tripled in just 24 hours. It’s beautiful. This is only the beginning ???

Trump also caused China to cut the flow of Rare Earth Minerals to the US which lead to the attempt to extort Ukraine of its natural resources. Similar situation , failure to recognize that China is supplying the raw materials driving the surge in technical advancement. To then try to deny the product of that raw material supply, aka cutting edge Chips.. back to China, is moronic. In Trumps world a Win/Win is a sign of weakness...except now China cut off the US from supply and there is no replacement.... Annnnnnnnd so the logical move is to pick other things being supplied and do the same to Canada..... when Canada pulls the plug on supply, the result will be the same. EVERYONE worldwide should take note and begin cutting supplies to the US and ceasing dependance on US manufacturers in favor of those with governments who will accept Mutually beneficial relationships as what they are...a Win/Win. China and Canada should deepen ties. Ukraine is better off working with Russia than allowing itself to be extorted. Everyone else should distance themselves from the US and honestly this damage Trump is doing will take decades to undo. The US is not reliable so long as they fail recognize international law and fair trade when it doesnt suit them... this is good for noone, but it will be worst on the US. Thats how WW2 started... Tariffs collapsed the German economy. Caused the Great depression. Germany and its people were forced into a corner. This is what Trump and his masters are trying to do. Starting WW3 is on someones agenda and whomever that is is also pulling Trumps strings. Bad times ahead

When you allies begin to fear you they start plotting your downfall, and there is no greater enemy to have than a former friend accross the broder...my 2 cents

The reopening of coal mines, oil rigs, wells, refineries, and power plants, along with the return of several companies to the United States similar to the trends observed during Trump's first term, indicates a positive outlook for job creation. For the first time in many years, we have reopened America to mineral mining opportunities, Zelensky's supporters are beginning to turn against him regarding negotiations for assistance in the Ukraine conflict. Engaging in discussions with Putin to reach an agreement aimed at halting the war should not be misconstrued as forming an alliance with him; rather, it is a pragmatic approach. In diplomacy, it is common to negotiate with individuals one may not personally favor, this will lead to a Huge Mineral rights deal

the beginning of the great decline

Looking from Estonia: At the beginning of the war in Ukraine, many people could read the opinion that the Russians would probably understand and oppose their country's leader and his stupid decisions. This has not happened in Russia for three years, and if you look and listen to the attitude of American leaders and their voters, then such stupid, silent approval is prevailing there too. True, they are attacking their neighbor only with tariffs.. for now.
