I'm disabled. I live off of $850 per month. That has to cover food, clothing, bills, household needs, medical, laundry, and transit. Yes, I had a working life before I became disabled so I paid into the system which I now need. I have uncovered medical needs that I can no longer meet. (Very rare solar allergy which also includes reactionsto certain lights on the visible light spectrum such as blue and white light) No vacations, no cable or internet, second hand clothing, no outings, no funds to have food delivered. I have to take the risk and use public transit which comes with medical consequences every time. I've had food poisoning three months in a row. Each month becomes harder. I feel like I'm drowning. My son can't find a job either. Canada is collapsing.

I get what people are saying in regards to the more recent influx BUT for everyone talking about deportation……..you DO REALIZE THAT all of us who aren’t Native ARE immigrants & at some point we or our ancestors did this to the Native people. Just think about it & again I get WHY people feel that way but we ALL essentially took Canada from the Native people so we ALL as a country NEED to do better!!!! 👍🙂

Canada now is defferent, in our place here garbage everywhere, respect is gone, crimes increase.

HEY Hindu, Punjabi and Muslim Immigrants, YOU SHOULD GO BACK TO WHERE YOU COME FROM. YOU DON'T HAVE MANNERS. DON'T MAKE CANADA AS AS ANOTHER COUNTRY. CANADA IS CANADA. I AM VERY SERIOUS

Dont talk if you want canada we should go revolution. Stupid Trudeau

The liberal party of Canada is a cancer

I'm a proud Canadian Immigrant of Indian origin. I came here to do specialized studies in Game Development. I took my time, and studied 6 years as an international student, paying 3x the tuition, sank $200,000 of hard earned money into the Canadian Education system — Not as a fast track gimmick to immigrate, but so I could achieve my dream as a Game Developer. This money was family income, earned on 1/4th the salary, taking 4x longer to save. I was a great privileged to me. Today 15 years later, no one would ever think I'm from India. I sound Canadian, I behave Canadian, I have Canadian values, and I am Canadian. I came here because I loved Canada. I would watch hours upon hours of indigenous history, and on my Citizenship day, I watched Juno Beach to celebrate. However I must say this... I suffered through s*icidal depression here for 8 years, because I had far less leverage here than in a developing country, and it's really telling what sort of situation we're all in... Rent caps in Canada were removed... The housing market was open to foreign investors / and real estate monopolies with a 20% year-on-year rise... Rents went from 1000$ to 2100$ MINIMUM for a 1 bedroom through Trudeau's term and the govt said "It's not a federal responsibility"... Auto insurance is like 2.5-3.5k a year in Ontario and if you get a dent, you pay a deductable... I was quoted 8500$ for two wisdom teeth surgeries while it costed me 260$ abroad... During Covid - property owners, banks, and grocery stores exploited our misery and made record profits!... The govt stopped filtering through it's immigrants with "interviews", and it's operating like a scam — "Bring all your foreign money, convert it to CAD, and keep our GDP stable.. while we neither have the infrastructure, nor the job market to support these numbers". I think some accountability is due... these issues are "symptoms", not the problem — The problem is our Liberal govt / policies, and our wonderful voting body who voted Liberal term after term after term while complaining. Why does this govt safeguard extremism, foreign politics, foreign separatism? Khalistanis are as much of a threat / nuance to India than it is to Canada, but in Canada they actually have a unrestricted platform. Instead of resenting immigrants, we need to start resenting how mismanaged Canada is by our govt, and hold our voting body accountable. We had a chance to vote differently, but once again a repackaged and rebranded Liberal term. Because my ethnicity is Indian, I've become an object of collective resentment / hatred, and I don't think that's fair.. Please direct it at your vote, and govt level policies. Why should I (and other's like me) be crucified with the sins of other immigrants? It's like hating all your neighbors in a burning building, when the management has been lighting the fire.

I love the voices of new immigrants who support Canada but they are not all. Many come just to take advantage. Those are the ones I fear. The ones who plan to take over and spread violence. I find Indian and Chinese are hardworking honest people but there will always be thieves and bad people among every culture. We need to reduce the quanity and increase the quality of the ones we allow here. We need to support our own first.

We need to take care of our own first. I am tempted by the threat of sharia law to be against Muslim people, although I realize that most are not bad but the radicals and their rate of reproducing scares me. We are losing Canada not just to trump but to the new immigrants. What should we do?

We are all immigrants other than the indigenous and Inuit. My father’s family can be traced back to 1538. He is French Canadian and native. My mom was an Irish American from Cleveland Ohio. This country has changed so much. I am at a loss. We need to speak out our opinions. I have lived here all over Canada, all my life. Why can we open up the the immigration doors when we did not have the infrastructure. It was insane. It hurt the original Canadians. The migrants are treated special. There should not be kickbacks. The govt has created this racism by giving immigrants priviliges

Why were immigrants brought in? Answer that first! Who allowed it?? People go through a legal process, pay legal dues, wait with pride their turn to get entry to Canada to see themselves grouped with those who were allowed in free and demanding their cultural needs be met! And guess who bent over backwards!! It's painful people looking down upon you as hateful aliens! Stand up to policy makers and ask why that policy! They are busy with their shananigans adding votes to stay at helm while we spit venom!

I'm from India. I'm happy that I don't live in CANADA!

"Immigrants are complaining about immigrants" that hit hard. What the heck is going on in Canada? I want my country back

Canada is doing one experiment

Canada is a joke now. Why would you want Muslim in your country cause theirs is so great. I can’t wait till it collapses left 4 years ago and I’ll never be back

Liberal voters continuing to destroy Canada even after a 10 year track record of failure.

Um so tired of going to a store all immigrants working. Make a phone call it's answered by an immigrant. You can't understand them . I love on ccpd I don't get old age pension yet. I'm too old to get the child tax credit and I'm on a Canada pension disability. I get 713.00 a min to live on. Period. That's it. 😢😢😢 I struggle every day. I live in a seniors housing complex..so my rent is adjusted to fit my income. Thank God for housing I'd be homeless if it wasn't for them. 😢😢 But the immigrants have money. Have jobs. Drive new cars. Get free rent for a year. I waited 9.5 hours at the emergency😢😢 not the Indians they have Indian drs that work there for them. How in the hell is this ok. I ended up leaving the emergency I couldn't wait any longer. I sat there in pain all that time and two Indian families came in during that time and within 20 min at the most they were in and out. They even have an advertisement in the emergency room in their language with all the Indian drs working there. Wtf is going on. I'm tired of seeing these people. They are opening businesses here. Everything you see now is written in English, French and Indian. They call it our third language now. There are building going up that have only immigrants in them. A d I live in a small town but the city. Come on. They stopped saying the Lord's prayer in schools. They can't say Merry Christmas. Christmas concerts are called Holliday concerts now. Our kids don't know the national a them they stopped that. They don't know the Lord's prayer they stopped that. The schools are changed to not make other nationalities feel bad. They get their Holliday's off and our Holliday's off..why? We don't get their off. Yeah I'm just a plain white person who lived in Canada all my life. 64 years. I've never seen this in my days. Never. Everything is destroyed. This feels like India 😢😢😢. We have to stop this. They need to leave. They are not here because of war or danger for their lives. They are here to take the jobs, take over our culture and country. Now we have to be careful what we say or were called racist. I'm white I lived in the hood all my life. With black people. I have alot of black friends even family but this is so damn reducilous. Who are they a d why are they here. Canada doesn't take care of us any more. Or help us people who need it. We are homeless in the streets you don't see Indians homeless, hell no. So Carney step up a x fix what Trudeau ruined. Please. This is not the country I'm used to it's India. Not Canada. I have friends from Ukraine. Now they are brought here because of the war. I get it. But they have their own immigration dr. And they've been here 2.5 years if that and bought their own home a year ago. How is this possible? The first year Canada paid their rent for a year. I live on 713.00 a month. He's a month. I live in seniors housing. I can't get enough to live on. I struggle every day😢😢😢 no one will help me. I'm alone and have nothing while Canada is supporting these immigrants and saying to hell with you if your Canadian . Yes I said it. How can someone live in what I get a month. I don't get anything else and like I said if it wasn't for housing I'd be in the street while Canada brings over immigrants from India that are not here because of war. Just to make more money to send home and take everything from us. They are laughing at us everyone is. Wake up people. We are the minority in our own country😢😢😢😢😢 I'm so done

If you Canadians do nothing for that I’m telling you from experience you done the next years. I’m from Greece I move to Canada 2012 I didn’t speak English I go to college to learn English I follow the rules pay tax respect. in greece same thing happened, and rest of ther Europe (do something or you done)

1:55 I have no words except to say this… Push to far and see what happens! Canadians are going to rise up and destroy these foul beasts Y’all are going to regret whats coming I promise LONG LIVE THE REAL CANADA 🇨🇦 THE TRUE NORTH STRONG AND FREE!!! 💪🏼

Ice on the way to save Canada ice for Muslims

Canada "Doom" 😮😮

Yet you vote liberal four times in a row because they turned the election into a Canada vs US hockey match and you all fell for it. Now you’re doomed. Don’t come here. You can’t be trusted.

PETITION TO DEPORT IMMIGRANTE FROM CANADA & VOTE FOR CONSERVATIVE⬇️

Saying that Canada needs Indians is disgusting. We don't need them Wingate immigrants from other countries it's racist to say that we need you. Imagine me going to China and saying you need a bunch of white people in your country cuz you ship stuff to the United States does that sound pretty racist to you

I wanted to visit Canada 🇨🇦 last month but as soon I know the situation of Indian immigrants I was like ewwwwwww

Immigration in Canada is a huge problem and I find a problem with Muslims and Indians is they don't amalgamate into society and expect everything to be given to them.

Sending all Indian who came in Canada in the last two three years they will ruin our country, you and I have to pay for Thier social assistance and health care,all scammer a Came Canada

I’m so sick of the Muslims and their bs being here they get 7 grand a month from our government to live free in Canada it’s disgusting when we have our own people poor hungry . These people are ignorant I agree with the African boy your not here to change or ways but adapt to ours

Leave your language, bad manners, foreign regilion and all other things you do in your country and adapt if you are here in Canada.

You are right! Most immigrants who comes to Canada with the intension of changing the culture, religion, and tradition are the one causing all this problems. They monopolize the job market because they create network between their own community. Because of this, the job opportunities are limited for this communities. As for the religious immigrants, they have to stay in their country if they need a muslim nation, because nobody wants it here. This is the weakness of the Government of Canda. The Government must do something to solve this problem and deport this kind of immigrants.

It's a human trafficking scam... and politicians are probably getting "contributions"... the migrants have to pay both in Canada and at home to these fake colleges that exist only on paper. I wonder how much an international student ends up paying just to come here... India has what? like a hundrem million dollar millionaires? How many live as basically what might as well be called slavery? Consider that some of these slave owners prefer living in Canada...

Sick of all this. My Canada is gone.

i hope that the people who voted for Carney and the libtards are happy ! thanks a lot for turning Canada into a shithole

Canada is losing its culture really fast ? 🤣 canada lost its culture when the European infested it.

Liberal elbows up did all this sh!t to Canada there crazy immigration laws and to all the boomers you wanted this government

Deport them now bring back Canada 🇨🇦

This is a direct result of the worst Prime Minister Canada has ever seen: Justin Trudeau.

Omg Bravo to that first woman!! We have to do something Canada!! The young lady that spoke brought me tears. How can the young people have families??? They can't afford to look after themselves let alone a family. So so sad and scary. Omg, so many good points!! Canadians we have to stand up and say something!!! Trudeau ruined this country and now Carney is going to make it much worse!!!

It’s sad to see how much Canada has changed over the years. For health care ,one woman died after giving birth by normal delivery in credit valley hospital, this how bad the health care system is right now 😢

Came to Canada from Barbados 11 years ago and worked for everything I have. Never got help from the government.

We can thank the Liberal party and J.T for letting in way too many immigrants since 2017. He solidified many votes for te liberals by doing so. It wasnt to help Canada grow. It was to help the Liberal Party grow.

Black guy dumb canada doesnt hve culture ppl fir themselves

Canada needs ICE

My mother came to Canada in 1965 with her family. She learned how to speak english by watching kids shows on TV. She had 4 girls by 1979. She could speak fluent English by that time. We lived in low rentals with other immigrants. It was all about one another. The many different cultures came together and shared. We were all dirt poor, but we all accepted one another for who we are. No one was better than another. Every kid I grew up with was a tried and true Canadian. Every single one became a citizen if they weren't born here. We all learned from one another. This Canada? It's not the Canada I know. I was born in Ontario. Many of my family members are still there. They're looked down upon. What? They're Canadians but they're looked down upon for being in that same small town. It's Sad. We need another peaceful protest in Ottawa. Save our Canada.

Canada has fallen. Unfortunately, Alberta separation is the only solution moving forward.

The Canadian Government and its entire system..Canada is on life support soon to die..or given over to India/Muslim..it new owners bought and paid for..

I have only one question.. why is the government allowing them into the country ? What is the reason and who is it benefiting??? As I commented before , my parents came to Canada in 1966 I was just a baby , Canada had endless jobs in manufacturing, and especially in the construction sector , I will say that immigrants back then , Italians , and Portuguese really built this country , the men and women worked sometimes two jobs , no hand out from the government , no sick days , Canada was beautiful growing up , .. that’s how I remember it , other immigrants followed , from Poland , and then the Indians started to come in by the 80”s .. fast forward to now , I’m embarrassed of our country , it’s disgraceful and disgusting, the transition from back then to now , I feel like I’m living in India , dirty , scammers , gangs , thief’s , murders , ignorant , entitlement; disrespectful etc .. facts , one thing that I can’t wrap my head around is the language barrier , why are these people working in customer service ? Why are they dealing with the public ??? Why are they in the health care industry, nurses , doctors etc , when they can’t speak the language???? Why are they accepted in these highly skilled positions? Just because you have the skill ? Isn’t knowing the language and being able to communicate a requirement regardless what job you have ? Why is the government allowing them in this country and then paying for them to have all these resources available to them ? Why ?? We need to start helping the people that have contributed to this country , that paid taxes and their dues FIRST … we do not have enough affordable housing , jobs , hospitals ,etc .Canada has falling , they are a financial strain on this country , it needs to STOP.. this isn’t the 60”s anymore Canada is to the max , no opportunity here anymore , send them back !

I moved from Canada almost two years ago, my parents came to Canada when I was a baby and I grew up in usa and Canada all my life, but a few years back I saw a trend. And I had to move. Sorry Canada, you're literally India now Plus. F. Winter b

As an immigrant... Canada/Canadian are very polite and respectful people... Its way different back home ... but what this people did to this place is disgusting... changing the norms, forcing your cutlure... Us immigrants are toxic... and I do believe its our fault why they are mad about this... people crapping all over the place... fishing without license, srinky rented houses aometimes getting destroyed, crime rate have gone high, over crowded city because immigrants grying to get as much family members as they can... WE FORGOT TO RESPECT THIS PLACE... no matter what... this is their place respect it... if you cant dont come here go home... back there you can do whatever you want... and please migrants youre not entitled here... Canada just gave you a chance its not a privilege its not rights... respect respect respect... you adapt not them

THANK ALL OF THE TRUDEAU AND CARNEY VOTERS. YOU CAUSED THIS AND THINGS WILL GET WORSE. OUR HIGH TAXES GO TO THESE ASYLUM SEEKERS AND NEW COMERS THAT ARE RECEIVING ALL THE GOVERNMENT FUNDING. WE ARE GETTING MORE AND MORE BU THE DAY AND OUR TAXES WILL CONTINUE TO GO UP. WHAT DO WE DO? LEAVE CANADA AND STOP PAYING THESE TAXES TO SUPPORT THIS?????
