Who is going to pay for welfare and accommodation you mean our hard working tax for Indian mexcian Afrian Filipinos.

A significant driver of Canada’s housing affordability problem is the treatment of housing as an investment rather than a basic human need. Housing has increasingly been treated as an investment rather than just a place for people to live. Homes are seen as vehicles for wealth accumulation rather than places to live. This approach has attracted large institutional investors (multinational corporations) who buy up properties, raising prices and squeezing out potential homeowners, especially first-time buyers. This problem iget worse because of the use of homes as a tax shelter, benefiting those with capital to invest in markets like Vancouver and Toronto. Greed and profit. Failure of our government to ignore this issue and dodge their obligation of providing a country where Canadians can live reasonable and thrive. Unfortunately it's happening around the world. Immigrants are NOT causing the problem. They are the scapegoat.

It’s simple, add an Indian tax for those that bring more than one family member over and tax multi tenant units with more than 5 tenants.

When over 60 cents (and growing) from every tax dollars does not cover the costs of corruption and incentives to produce more superior brained tongue slappers and managerial con men , then we become worth less than next to nothing .

Any one come to Canada must pay taxes for 5 years before they get any govt benefits also health cares.

I agree with the woman talking about adapting to the culture in the country you’re in. ABSOLUTELY CORRECT but do note that these Indians are not coming for free, on average close to 90,000 Indian Students come to Canada to study with an average 2 year program, and each one of them spends at least CAD 40,000 for each year! Now if you do the math they inject about 3.6 Billion dollars every year! Which makes International student one of the top 10 source of revenue for Canada! That is the hard reality check for anyone who thinks these Indians in Canada are all undeserving people.....they just compete better than most white Canadians in their home ground whilst quite literally in every stretch there are more facilities available to Native Canadians then there are for the people of international origin: International students' annual spending directly and indirectly contributed CAN$7.4 billion in tax revenue for the Canadian government. The study is based on study permit data from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) on 2022, as well as data from Languages Canada to capture short-term students.

Marc illegal refugees and immigrants works for cash do not pay taxes get all the benefits from Castro son Justin do you understand Marcy

The liberal host goes straight to immigration as solution to ageing population. Well known fact immigrants don’t age!\n\nIncentivize having children, tax breaks. Imagine a population that likes Canada as opposed to the terrorists walking the streets in Toronto and Vancouver

Aside from the negative impact on our social systems, I.e. education, healthcare, housing, jobs, etc., I worry about future generations who are going to have to contend with our out of control national debt and increased taxes on the middle class to pay for it.

It’s not just the immigrants, it’s the handouts the refugees, especially Ukrainian refugees get. At least immigrants work and pay their taxes. Cut back on immigration for sure, but also stop bringing in refugees and giving them handouts when their own country could do that.

Saudi Arabia. We love it here. You can dive and kitesurf every weekend. Go hiking. Even ski if you want. Salaries are amazing and no tax.

What we need is better paying jobs with benefits. Corporations flow of money must be followed, how much is leaving the country. Stop giving welfare to corporations who are making record profits that leave the country . \nWith new comers coming in with government subsidies to pay for their housing and giving businesses part of the wages payed by our taxes while our people live in tents, results more native Canadians are unable to be employed, get houses etc.

Her cousins probably pay more tax than Trump

It should be zero !!! Not a reduction !!! We’re full and there’s no vacancy !!!! People are struggling and SUFFERING badly and we don’t need to be taxed even more ridiculously by that moron Trudeau than we already are !!!!! Be like Poland. We’re full !!!\nNo more people need to be taken in !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most immigrants who come to Canada work hard every day, contributing to the country's economy by paying taxes, which helps the Canadian government meet its financial obligations. Unlike many of Canada’s millionaires and billionaires, who often make their wealth here in Canada but spend it elsewhere—such as in the USA or the Caribbean—immigrants tend to invest directly into their local communities. They purchase homes, buy cars, shop for groceries, and use public transit—all of which directly support the local economy. Their spending power remains within Canada, helping to create jobs and maintain the vitality of our communities

Along with these measures make sure those who are here (some fraudulently) follow the Canadian rules. Make it official to hire Canadians born & raised. Other countries are doing it. There is a cost for everyone that is here. Are they paying enough taxes? Sweden is paying $45000 to every immigrant to leave. Canada needs to look at the cost-benefit ratio. Immigration is not a right, it is a permission given by host country.

Breaking News: Mass amount of people flee from a shithole country into another shithole country (this time with more tax debt)

My experience has been different. Came at age 48 with family mostly for children future. Initial struggle followed by more than 20 years full time work in a company owned by Canadian but most of us working immigrants from different countries. Had a wonderful experience working as a team. Company grew from 5 including owner to about 30 when I retired. Most of of my contribution was from skills I obtained on the job. The flexibility I got was help to spouse and children. The three of them achieved good outcomes. Taxes are high. I never worried about that as children had professional education with no financial help. Only my steady basic facilities provided as I had steady though lower income than what I had back home in relative terms. What we get back from taxes we pay in health civic facilities education for children is great return of taxes paid. What I got was quality living. No luxuries. My purpose of coming here more than fulfilled. Happy family. Grand children now enjoying higher quality of life than what I had or my own children had. I do notice recent trends of immigrants expectations not very encouraging. I have enjoyed the multicultural atmosphere friendship and regard for each other. My colleagues and I have been of great asset to the company we worked in.

This government’s answer for dealing with the mess their ineptitude and corruption has created is to tax Canadians MORE! To squeeze more taxes out of us and send them overseas versus spending our money in our country on the comforts of living we had been told they’re for!

we have wat to many taken in now because of an idiot leader. no homes can't afford rents because some idiot can't stop spending billions of dollars on noughthing can't afford to heat your home drive your car from these crap carbon taxes. millions living on the streets and all because of 2 idiots that run this country.

why is the taxpayers paying for these so called imigrants these imigrants should be paying canadians to imigrate here the taxpayers are burdoned enough with the grouse amount of taxes we pay if these outsiders had to pay we would be paying alot less taxes only let in the ones that pay not take ive voted liberal all my life but never again the party of liars

Because we don't produce enough babies organically, we have to bring in more younger tax paying workers.\nA decade ago, 8 workers supported 1 retiree, and because we live longer, now the number is 9, and the trend started already.\n\nPlus, we cant grow with the same number of people.... It's not the best solution, but having a sector like housing or traffic suffer, is better than having the whole economy suffer.

Illegal refugees family of 8 receive $8990 from Trudeau every month plus free accommodation in 5 star hotel across the country, free legal aid, free medicine, free bus pass, free grocery, carbon tax rebate, HST rebate, they also work under the table makes $4380 cash every month while Trudeau told Canadians veterans they are asking too much in 2016. Please note they illegal refugees also produce brand new baby every year.

? Won’t put a dent. Ppl are here illegally and under false pretenses. Canadian seniors who have paid taxes their entire lives living in poverty or in tents! So disgraceful! Stop the immigration ffs! #massinvasion #helpcanadiansfirst

Ask your self why you destroyed small business to begin with while allowing large retail and often tightly confined liquor stores open ! These politicians are compete and utter liars and they have no right to make decisions for the tax payers without the tax payers input and yet it happens every day ! Anti democratic dictatorship

What I would like to know is, how can the immigrants afford to buy up 3 local businesses in the small town that I live in and still receive government handouts and tax breaks..?

Mass deportion of lazy people that come here and milk us for welfare and everything free...never worked.....o wait the hard Working Canadians are paying for it.....not the Goverments money.. tax payers money.i want any free money going to seniors veterans people with disabilities and Canadians that are homeless...and no tax on seniors pensions .....Liberals and ndps destroyed Canada

Massive cuts my Ass, still over 300K a year. It should be a 95% cut. We’re over saturated now for the next 5 years, all you have to do is go to a Ton Hortons, their all in there drinking coffee with there buddies,collecting tax payers money.???

Seniors are forced to work long past 65 because we can't afford to stay in our apartments or our homes because of this true liberal communist government is more event on stealing taxpayers dollars to give themselves than to help the people of this great country I'm 68 years old I can't quit I owe the government money every year cuz they say I make too much so if 38,000 is too much that I don't know what is seniors should not be taxed at all. On our payroll checks they're already screwing us every time we go to the pumps every time we go to the store we still get screwed on taxes that we pay more than any other country in the world pays

Without new comers, we wont be able to sustain our services. So:\nEither bring in more tax payers, or raise taxes for the existing ones.

Listen to the news !!! Really everyone have to watch over our back with kids? Where's safe Canadians our government!!! For me mentioned I might be on news for my death. Speaking out with my opinions I'll be ready for native rights n our Canadians struggling family's for a roof n food!!! Where is all of our taxes going to? The matrix system? Hard working Canadians n citizen ship for 40yrs high interest? Answer us on from every city; township, rual areas why our people's Canadians and hard working Canadians citizens pay more for new immigrants? I highly respected the immigrants from 50's-2000's things got out of hand fix it? More homeless, theft, assault s, dangerous crimes!!!!!

Trudeau increased immigration from 1x to 4x in a very short span and the country has never been worse...he needs to visit Toronto and get out of his bubble. The church over at King and Church st.... The garden of edan they call it is filled with tents for the first time this summer. Never happened before. The quality of life for too many people is extremely difficult. The government programs within service ontario are also discriminating against Canadians. There for new comers for the most part despite our tax dollars paying for it and we cant get help. Need to pause immigration in its entirity intill a plan is in place that makes sense .

Next, he's going to cut the carbon tax and call himself a hero...

He has to go. Inflation, housing, carbon tax, canceling working in the energy sector. This liberal ndp government is an absolute nightmare.

Yea right, cutting legal immigrants while keep bringing in so called Refugees to burn our tax payers money.

It’s agreed. We are bringing in citizens from Mexico, Venezuela, El Salvador, from the border who have no right to be in this country in our tax dollars pay for their hotels, shelter and food, and to be legally required to live here

I am in Canada, born in India. I agree there are many Indian brown people here. It’s the govt that invited people, accepted them for the jobs they were unable to fulfill . These are highly educated, skilled and hardworking people. 25% all income from education comes from Indian people. Not to mention the high wages and high taxes they pay, inturn making Canada great. \nI also agree, there are some nasty people out there like any other race be it white, black, brown or purple. The bad guys need to be stopped. As for the rest of the people who don’t bother you, just live in harmony, work for prosperity and make Canada great for the future generations. \nWho you really gotta fight is the LQYZGBAlphabet cabal for humanity to thrive. \nLast but not the least, I sure as hell know the beautiful native Indian people of Canada and America, would have felt the same way seeing your ancestors! “You don’t belong here, there are too many of you, go back” \nBut here you are. \nAnyway, please live happily and let people live.

This lady brings embarrassment to us Mexican Americans! Which world is she living in? To be against her own people is shameful??Your family should be mad at you! To wish them to be deported of which some family members have been here in America for years, paying taxes by the way, is a person without a ❤️?

Indians contribute to labour, economy, taxes, giving employment for that no body thnks them

She’s bullshit\nNo one stands in line for hours and days for green card.’\nThat’s false \nThat’s a lie\nThere’s a process and it takes years and years\nAnd even those who pay taxes still can’t get it \nThat’s not how it works \n\nIf she out Trump over her family, I’d be scared of her.\nGlad we aren’t related

Ya cheaper healthcare and rammed up the ass with taxes (here in Ontario- 13%)\nHard to know where that 13% is going when we have terrible health care.

Skilled labours paying 46% tax so that they can be called as threat to the german culture ?, you pay 46% so that govt gives free money to lazy people who just want to be home and do nothing.

Grandma doesn't have a clue that her old age social security benefits & 'free' medical aids are sponsored by tax from these hardworking immigrants & the exorbitant fees extracted from international students. Grandma has two kids. Both of them stayed away & both decided to raise dogs instead of kids. As long as dogs don't bring Canada money in future, the country dearly depends on immigrants to create a healthy working class. And, as long as people from the so-called 'first world' countries wouldn't care to migrate to this winterland, they only have two choices. Either convince the current generation of white Canadians to procreate a future working class, or to see the country slowly becoming brown !\nContext : Last month, Canada reported an all time low fertility rate ever ?

Same Here 25% of taxes every week from my pay check, one day the company gave me $500 bonus for my performance, ? but ended up with $309 because of the taxes. It funny how you work hard receive a compensation for that and the gov take his taxes from your sacrifices. Wich makes you think stop working hard the more you work the more taxes you pay for nothing, while there are other people abusing of the system, receiving money from the gov for doing nothing.

How is it migrants get paid to move here? They also get healthcare,ebt and housing. All be while citizens pay taxes, slave to even in food on the table and go in debt. We also have a homeless crisis. Millions of American citizens have been waiting years for housing. Seniors Ave disabled are dying on the streets right now while migrants get the very help that is should have gone to the Americans. This is a shameful country and this government is doing nothing!!!!

People born in Canada are just leaving and I don’t blame them. I have 3 neighbours in my neighbourhood that I was close to them but they left 1 put their house on rent and the other 2 sold there house just left the country. They all said the same thing Canada is to expensive and going down hill . High crime , high taxes you. You name it . The more you make the more you are taxed. I have a friend that left Canada for Ireland 3 years ago for a job in his field and was able to buy a beautiful house .

At least that guy came to ?? with some dignity by obeying rules & laws given by Canada, and even giving back some tax to that country. But the ancestors of these kinds with white skined racism came into that country by MASSACRE of many innocent locals at that time. \n\nNow they are bragging about its my country & leave the country.

I could honestly write an entire book about this—I’ve been living in Costa Rica for the past three years, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. My personal experience has been okay, because I was lucky enough to be contracted directly by the company, so I didn’t have to deal with any agencies (best-case scenario). BUT wow, the struggles are so real. Life abroad is insanely expensive! Sure, you might earn more, but all that money? It goes straight to bills, and don’t even get me started on the “black tax”—if you know, you know?. Plus Everyone back home just assumes you’re living the dream, lounging on the beach like a millionaire, when in reality, you’re just trying to stay afloat! NOT TO MENTION THE MENATL HEALTH, Premium tears!

We cant wait to see brics taxes be indepandent from our money???????

We don’t tax food. We don’t tax roast of beef. We don’t tax broccoli be careful about wide sweeping statements. There are taxes on many things that’s how we pay for our healthcare and other benefits we enjoy. 53%? Nonsense, unless you’re ridiculously rich.
