Every refugee doesn't want to leave their land and deserve everything he said. So he basically said nothing. If the west said the same about Syria or Syrians it would be seen as imperialist...

Fantastic answer but it's only half true... they don't want to take refugees because you can't take in Palestinians without taking in hamas and Hamas has destabilized every Muslim country that housed them just look at lebenon or Jordan... Israel treats them like crap and hamas sacrifices them for political capital. Literally between A rock and hard place

Nobody wants to take palistini refugees ?

Oh that’s not true at all, they do want to leave the land as refugees, many of them have tried. The rest of the Arab world just doesn’t want them. They turn them away. I don’t know why the west doesn’t have the ability to do the same to anyone who tries to come here. I do wish he was more truthful in how he framed this though, he deflected from himself. It’s his country that won’t take them in, not that they don’t want refuge.

they don't want to take the refugees. its simple as that.

Lift the weight but wont take refugees. We won't help is what he's really saying here. The weight was lifted Oslo Accords both sides agreed both had a place the could call home. Palestine decided they really wanted more and attacked Israel again in hopes to push them out of what is rightfully Israel's land . But in doing so lost even more. When a child throw's a fit you don't give them what they want you spank them and teach them to act appropriately. Simple It's not your land stealing is wrong and the land you lost after the accord's is the price you pay for treachery. Lift the weight give me a break.

Take refugees. They want to leave. Stop lying.

Its funny how no arab countries want to take Palestinian refugees. He basically said its not our problem.

So Stand your ground! Interesting; should not then all young men claiming refugee not stay in their own lands and fight for what they want?

Just look how this reporter asked the question why doesn't Saudi Arabia take in refugees. If you didn't know it already every single media organisation of the west is a government spokesman. Why do they want it Arab countries to take in refugees because they can say the Arabs left the land making it easy pickings for Israel and making it into a greater Israel. They want the Arabs to say that come to us and we will protect you

The Palestinians do want to leave there land. They care more about their life than some land. He talks about removing the weight yet he’s doing nothing to stop Israel. He refuses to take Palestine refugees because every time in history that happened it led to mass Terri!st attacks and mass uproar agains the government. Look at history! In his position he cannot remove any weight and cannot accept refugees, he cares but can do NOTHING. ??

Enough is enough, shut the doors.\nThese students seeking asylum us a scam. Screening is nonexistent at the moment. We're overwhelmed with refugees, asylum seekers and the that want in. In the meantime canadians have been ignored and problems we currently face with only grow exponentially. Time is now to take action if we're going to able to salvage what's left of our country. Realistically we can't take in everyone so let's make the ones we do allow in bring skills that will help us.

Immigration minister just shows concern but won’t do anything to prevent this. And this clown PM he wants to bring more refugees to help them. How about you help your own citizens who are struggling. Taking high taxes from hard working canadians and giving them to refugees who have contributed nothing to this economy.

Disgusting…. They are scamming the system. Asylum get 6000$ a month from our taxes. Take care of Canadians. International students just want a back door into Canada, they can’t even afford school or housing when they come and just claim refugee once they realize that. The government has allowed this to happen- taxing our incomes to the extreme when we work hard and can barely make rent to give it to random scam artists

1:13 Canada must stop taking refugees!! Unless you want RIOTS that happened in the UK and EU

I completely agree with the answer That Foreign Minister has given. Why would our Palestinian Brother and Sister Should leave their motherland, It is their right to fight for their land. Every Muslim country knows if they starts taking Palestinian refugee then israel will take over the whole country. Thats what they want. Its what they want. So they should definitely stay at their own country....

He's all talk. Just keep talking about how you want the West to stop bombing while not saving any Palestinian lives by accepting refugees!

Liberal government needs to fix the problem it created with immigration. Canadians do not want their taxes going to support unlegitimate refugees or students who feel that they should automatically become Canadian citizens after finishing their Mickey Mouse courses. There are enough Canadian citizens qualified and well-educated to fill in Canadian jobs. Canadian citizens have been negatively impacted by the Liberals decisions on immigration.

I accept your message as a positive effort, but take exception that you are ambassadors for India. That is my main concern: many immigrants are not just keeping their old culture but forcing it on native Canadians of all descent. \nFor refugees, it absolutely boggles my mind why you might want to recreate the very situations that you are fleeing from. \nFor Indians specifically, I’ve noticed a tendency to hire only other Indians, excluding Canada from Canadians and I don’t appreciate it. After all, Canada welcomed you. \n\nI think many Canadians had no issue with any culture of nationality. Growing up here, I never saw any hatred or racism, despite what that idiot Trudeau says. In the last 10+ years that’s changed, and the resentment is growing exponentially now. We have been accepting of all other cultures, even when they directly conflict with our own and that tolerance and respect has not been reciprocated and many cases. This leads to resentment. \n\nIt’s not whites resenting Indians or muslims or whatever, it’s Canadians resenting those who disrespect Canada and Canadians! Canadians of Indian descent resent this. Naturalized citizens that truly identify as Canadian resent this. My father and my wife were both born elsewhere and feel this way.\n\nDespite growing up in Canada, I do not speak French. When I go to Quebec, try to speak the language, but I’m pretty bad at it. French-Canadians appreciate the effort even though I’m butchering their language. it’s a show of respect.

Why are you so focused on international students and temporary workers? If people from Mexico stop coming to work for Canadian farmers during harvest time, no one will want to work for such low wages as they do. This means farmers would have to pay more to local workers, which raises two questions: Can farmers afford to pay more to local workers, and are you prepared for food prices to rise even higher?\nSo why doesn't Rebel News focus on all the 'refugees' who enter Canada, don't work, and receive various types of financial support? Many of them don't start working, and the same goes for their children and grandchildren.\nAlso, this narrative about 'pooping on Wasaga Beach' is part of shaping public opinion. I honestly didn’t expect that from Rebel News. I’m not a big fan of what’s happening in Canada, but it’s not the fault of Indian people. (Just to clarify, I’m not from India.)

So in other words, you don't want to take in Palestinian refugees! That speaks volumes

Everyone , and I mean EVERYONE that is a NON-CITIZEN that was brought in since 2024 should be sent home. No excuses. Foreign exchange students , LIMA , Illegals , refugees , EVERYONE.\nUntil we send about 1-3million people packing, we will continue our downward spiral .\n\nPlease also discuss the fact Trudeau wants to make it possible for immigrants to become residents if they have a close family member that is a citizen in Canada.\n\nThis is ALL a ruse . Its a lie . They are pulling the whool over our eyes.\n\nThey tell us there will be deportations OR that we will not be taking any lima/foreign student applications and then they make another loophole that allows EVEN MORE PEOPLE IN!!!

Why are you blaming indians , if you want to find content pick something else, who is too blame Indian pple or your government, bcos it knows that Indians are no danger to your country and hard working , worry about yhe refugees that your govt brings from islamic countries, the keep reproduce like psg, blame ur govt for funding billions of tax payers money to ukraine , there are no jobs here, there are lots of things going wrong , and your just back of only one topic, too many Indians,

For the people decrying immigration, tell your masters to get over their colonial hangover and stop imperialistic policies. You enter country, destroy the lives and livelihood of people, control all of the resources , control the markets..install puppet governments and do not allow domestic industries to grow.. to feed your bellies. Because that is what Europe was before Colonialism- a land full of peasant farmers, having nothing. IF YOU DONT WANT REFUGEES, STOP CREATING THEM!!

Indians aren’t the only problem. A Ukrainian family of 2 adults 2 children was receiving $9000 from the Canadian government in assistance . Meanwhile, If a Canadian owes $10 in taxes, the government is coming after you and will charge you interest. The entire immigration/ student , work visa , refugee program needs to be reviewed. Changes need to be made with quotas drastically reduced.. Laws need updating. I’m not saying we don’t help people escaping drastic situations, but we can’t be a free for all society. Don’t forget that Canadians don’t want to have children anymore. So without immigration, canadas population will eventually fall to zero. Canada is a relatively empty country. If our governments were smart we could have the largest housing construction and business development program in the history of the world. There is no shortage of land in Canada, but we aren’t building houses because of incompetent politicians . Immigration creates jobs by increasing aggregate demand, but the country cannot absorb this many in such a short time.

I recently worked in a fast food restaurant owned by a foreign national, to begin with there was about a half and half mix between the foreign students and Canadians, it was well run, nice place to work and we pretty much got along, suddenly the owner started advertising for help only in his own language newspaper, as the usual turnover took place all the new hires were of his nationality, students who were limited to 20 hours per week wound up working more hours than the full time workers which in my books left me wondering how much studying they were getting in, Covid hit, I asked the boss if he was going to sign up for getting us paid instead of laying us off, he said he wasn't eligible for that program and laid us off, after he laid us off he applied for and got on the program, suddenly names the Canadian supervisor had never seen working for us appeared on the payroll and mysteriously when we got back to normal and got called back they never did appear in our restaurant. I'm not a racist, have always loved working with other nationalities, but rules are there for a reason and need to be enforced, a lot of folks are taking advantage of our lax enforcement. If you want to work in Canada you should apply for the permit before you come, if you come as a student you need to be a student, if you come as a refugee you should declare that status before you get on a plane. When we have people living on the streets and in cars because housing is not affordable we need to question how many folks we are bringing in.

I think in the last 10 years Europe and North America has made a special effort to import dregs of society from every country on the pretext that they are 'refugees', 'students' and that West needs to shore up it's falling birth rate. I think the real reason is certain political parties in the West want to subdue it's own population with the help of these violent and/or unsavory elements.

These are mostly Punjabis. I don't consider them as Indians. They will destroy your country. Canada has a failed student visa program. 90% students coming here consider student visa as a way to claim refugee status or to get PR using fake documents. Stop Canada if you don't want to become a shit hole

Canadians WANT EVERYBODY out! Temporary foreign workers, international students, working visitors, refugees, immigrants that REFUSE to integrate & ALL ILLEGALS!!\n\nCanadians & Canada FIRST! They no longer want to be the world’s doormat!!!

She want to tell him why you Don t them as refugees clever question but better answer ??? she want to clear Palestinian from them land good try

These Western countries including USA and Canada are more kind to illegal immigrants who cross their borders illegally from Mexico, central and South America but very harsh on Indian Students. Similar situation happened years ago in Europe and UK. Later these countries had a surge of Middle East refugees as a result of war. Now Europe in its entirety looks almost like another Middle East country with loss of its own identity and culture. My question to Canadian government is why do you want to treat Indian students who invested in your country’s economy as colonists ? Why do you treat Indian students who helped your economy with their money worse than illegal immigrants who cross your borders bringing nothing but their families ? Canadian citizens remember when these Indian students leave out of self-respect… it’s your own loss !!! I would say you will most likely be stuck with uneducated illegal immigrants in your country. This is humbly my own opinion and assessment of the situation and feel free to comment on your views. Tell me what you think ?

even the refugees don't want to stay in Canada

l can’t pay my bills but india students can get jobs in canada the living the life the want yet l am struggling to live plus refugee living free what a great country canada ?

The Permanent Residence Visa for skilled immigrants began as a paid residence to help Canada clear its huge debt burden at the time. It was an idea and some politicians said it worked. But taking in the refugees from failed States is another category altogether. Refugees from South American countries, Somalia, Congo, Rwanda, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and recently Ukraine have put another class of social welfare recipients without adequate skills. Then the monthly child benefit encouraged some of these unskilled Immigrants to get more babies. BTW....I lived in Canada for 13 years but returned to Kenya 7 years ago. Also, as you rave and rant against immigrants, remember there are real White Canadians living everywhere in the world some entrepreneurs and some working for NGOs. Canada failed by not making economic decisions about taking in refugees.....it wanted to appear charitable without learning from the past.

Unfortunately, the best is yet to come. It will get much worse. But I'm just asking out of curiosity, who will vote for the obviously idiotic, completely incompetent leaders there. I think it's the UFOs. You can only thank yourself for what awaits you. There are already quite a few (REFUGEE) families from Canada living here in Hungary.They say that here they understood what it means to live freely. Of course, the media will make you believe what they want. Come to Hungary and experience freedom. Just stay far away from the liberals.

Well they advertised in india to come to canada cra took their share - college took their share took the money from indian students- now indians are the problem - if canada does not want students from india don't advertise and do not lower ielts score and bring unassuming indian students here and disrespect them - none of the indians are refugees

Only Western countries want Palestinian refugees...

We need a 30 year ban not a limit, on all immigration, asylum seekers, refugees, student/ worker permits. Invest in Canadians, we want livable hours and wages with benefits!

Then get rid of Hamas. These countries don't want Palestinian refugees because they are disruptive and pro communist.

NATO makes refugees around the world. No one wants to leave their homes. NATO and their formula of overthrowing governments have created chaos in Asia, Middle East and Europe. Stop funding wars. Period. America, Canada and Europe are not as appealing to raise a family.

Please Don’t blame Indian people, blame Canada’s government. Indian people come with Education and money. Yes we have our own culture and own language but we also like Canadian people and their culture. Canadian government wants more money and that’s why they are inviting more n more students from world and mostly come from India and there is nothing wrong with that. All Indians come here in Canada as a true immigrant. Why you are not talking about so many refugees, who come to Canada with no education no money and they are burden on government. Compare to refugees, Indians work hard, get education here, pay fees in colleges, earn work permit and then pass English exam and then get PR and then citizenship. Indians work hard and earn PR and citizenship here in Canada but what about refugees and asylum seekers. They fucking don’t do anything and they fucking easily get PR citizenship. Why you’re not talking about this ???? Immigrants come to Canada from all over world not just India. Lots immigrants from African countries,Bangladesh, Pakistan, Philippines and so on. So don’t talk about only Indians. In last 5 years, Canada invited so many refugees from all over world. So talk about this also.

The Palestinian people in the majority do not want to become refugees, they want to remain on their land.

In Canada, there used to be a difference between ‘immigrant’ & ‘refugee’. Trudeau and his government have made these two groups into one. My family immigrated from England in the 1950s. My father had to have a job waiting for him when we arrived. We had to go through health checks. My parents had to prove that we had a specific amount of money so that we would not be a drain on Canada. Trudeau has opened the border to anyone wanting to come no matter if they have anything to offer Canada.

Haha you can use this answer in any other conflict if you don't want to take in refugees.

Neither the Germans nor the Swedes want to feed all economic refugees. We no longer have any space and there is much more crime in the country due to the high number of refugees. It's just enough.

This is all her mother's fault. You can blame the lawyer all you want, but we have brains for a reason. When they followed the bad advice to apply as refugees and were DENIED, the mother should have used the other option and got citizenship through the grandmother. Instead she did nothing and left her daughter with no official status. You cannot go to another country and just live there with no official status, she didn't even get residency for her child. Shame on her for being negligent, well now the girl has to return to France.

Too many immigrants and refugees, too fast. Housing shortage, horrible traffic in Toronto where about 1/3 of the new immigrants/refugees want to stay.

Blame muslims all u want, but we dont get refugees from Qatar or Dubai or Indonesia

So no they don’t want to take any refugees

Greece and the EU aren't the bad guys here, the refugees are. These people are breaking the law and should be deported. Most are economic refugees and you shouldnt be accepted into another country just because you want more money.
