Imagine if Canadians went to these people's countries en masse, worked all the jobs for cheaper, formed ethnic enclaves with businesses that didn't even include the host country's official language, refused to integrate into the host country's culture, refused to learn the language, refused to hire the host country's people, attempted to bring over their elderly, sick relatives who provide no economic benefit to strain the host country's social services, demand the host country change to suit Canadians whims, and after having ALL of these demands met, and being welcomed in with open arms, STILL played the victim and acted as if they were being oppressed

Too bad they can’t find her a jail cell to live in. It’s basically fraud and theft at that point. The tenant board needs some changes.

Immigrants, like my parents, didn’t come to Canada to change it to what they left. They came to be Canadian. For Canada, but that’s how it was 80 years ago

Can anyone, show me a Canadian company, started by a person like Elon, Zuckerberg, or Gates, that has led to massive income for 10’s of thousands of people and changed the world?

Canada has to start recognising degrees from other countries. Here in B.C. we have emergency rooms closing overnight due to lack of staffing. We need doctors and nurses yet the barriers for those immigrating to get their degrees recognised mean many never qualify.\n\nCanada also needs to look at who we are admitting in and to terminate the family unification policy. When immigration was helping the country grow there was a different demographic coming in. Often it was single men or young married couples. As they came by themselves they assimilated into the mosiac of the country. When you concentrate on immigrants from one country instead of assimilating they setup ethnic communities. \n\nLook into what study groups have said that is contributing to gang violence. It's ethnic groups that have the grandparents, parents and grand kids all living in one home. The grandparents want the grand kids to adhere to their native culture. Unfortunately by time you get to the grand kids they are Canadian. They speak English/French depending where they live with little interest in speaking their ethnic language. There is cultural conflict within the home hence street life is where they find love and caring.\n\nSome cultures are not as community minded. Part of the high cost of renting/housing is based on greed not need. In my own community I know of apartment units now renting at 2,500 - 4,000/month owned by the same people that even five years back you could have rented for 500 - 800. There is no justification for that percentage of increase other than greed.\n\nJob opportunities. Summer employment for school kids is going down yearly. You see local business that use to hire students over the summer month claiming they can't find any workers. They bring in TFW yet Canadian students can't find work. You can tell the owners nationality of a business by the nationality of the workforce. A local store bought by a east Indian two years ago which at the time had a diverse workforce is now entirely staffed by east Indians. Yet who screams racist? \n\nCanada definitely needs to reconsider its immigration policy and bring in major changes.

They spent their life living in poverty and misery and in one day you people can snap your fingers and change everything about their lives who cares if it's an improvement they're still going to hate you most probably for being better then them in the first place

The same is happening here in Europe. All at once. Invasion of the western societies. It will change the wold we know and not for good. It night be the Great Reset thst done people have been mentioning for some time. All those migration floods seem to be organized wnd part of a global scheme. All politicians allow it ir even support it

Erosion of National Identity\nBy 2036, immigrants are projected to make up about\n30% of the Canadian population. By 2050, roughly half\nthe country’s population will be non-white. In some\nareas, these projections have already been reached or\nsurpassed. In Brampton, Ontario, 65% of the population\nis South Asian. Richmond, British Columbia, became\nmajority Chinese in 2016. In Quebec, the French lan-\nguage is in serious decline because of large scale immi-\ngration.\nIf immigration targets remain unchanged, there will\nbe a dramatic change in the country’s ethnic, cultural,\nand linguistic composition. Many citizens, both native-\nborn and immigrants, will be uncomfortable with a\nchange at this rate and scale to the country they know and\nlove. To make matters worse, the successive federal gov-\nernments, which have overseen Canada’s policy of large-\nscale immigration, have never consulted Canadians on\nwhether they actually want this kind of change. -Druthers

I would go in there while they are at work take everything out change the locks. And then go through the legal process with them outside of my property

But wait a minute !!! 1 million immigrants in a country as big as China and you guys are complaining. The whole population of Canada fits in 1 or 2cbig tier 1 cities in China , so their cities hv to deal with 1 million migration on a regular basis and accomodate for those changes. Wht is it do hard for Canada to handle 1 million immigrants ? That should be taken into consideration as a shortage of labor is alwaysban issue facing Canada at some point.

You can't build an economy through population growth when the government decides to bring in 3% of the population per year in low skill, temporary students and workers to help inefficient businesses suppress wages for low skill work.\nYou can't build housing when the fees and taxes on each new build are equivalent to 30 years of property taxes. \nYou can't build housing when zoning only makes highrises with 400-500 sqft units financially viable, which are then bought by wealthy homeowners to rent out for profit. \n\nThese policies are designed to benefit wealthy incumbents (mostly boomers and seniors) and are targeted to transfer labour and income from younger people and new entrants (immigrants) to the wealthiest people at the top. \n\nThe people who benefit represent a large voting bloc and most politicians are from this class of people who are making out like bandits. \n\nThis is why nothing is changing.

Change the langage could solved the problem

Honestly, Canada is not the same as 15 years ago. It has changed drastically a few years before the pandemic. Basically, since Trudeau became the PM.?

My dad would have changed the locks by now. Sometimes you gotta take matters into your own hands. She’s trespassing at this point.

Disgusting behaviour towards the landlord brutal this needs to change

Nobody is anti immigration. Canada was born on immigration and there was always a consensus until Trudeau son came into office. It’s the crazy afflux without proper housing and services that make people change their mind on immigration…

Scapegoating immigrants for the fact that there are not enough homes. Deal with the problem directly! Get politicians to BUILD MORE HOMES AND CHANGE INFRASTRUCTURE. Slow down immigration. But Don’t scapegoat the people that are already here.

Change the government

European here. When I was a kid the american dream - Canada & the U.S - was strong. The same for the U.K. The place to be, the place to go to.\nNowadays it's clearly a place to avoid if you want to have an international experience. It required only 2 decades to change that... Thanks to all the Obamas and Trudeaus.

Because some groups take over entire neighborhoods and buy up all the properties and become slumlords lowering housing quality while increasing housing costs at the same time. \n\nSome immigrants like to take over all the seats in coffee shops without buying anything leaving paying customers with nowhere to sit. \n\nThey have drastically changed the etiquette of this once great country.

Trudeau needs to GO. OUR COUNTRY ISN'T THE SAME. ?. IMMIGRATION LAWYERS ARE TO BLAME. CANADA IS A CRIMINAL COUNTRY, FREE FOR ALL. IT'S NOT WHAT YOU KNOW IT'S WHO YOU KNOW. THINGS WILL CHANGE WHEN TRUDEAU IS KICKED OUT OF OFFICE.

As a 32 year old male born in Kitchener, Ontario. This mass immigration is killing our country. With so many immigrants from India that (as a whole, not every Indian) do NOT assimilate to Canada and our culture has us pretty upset. It’s making our housing crisis worse and killing our economy. Canada is not the same country I grew up in and it’s changing fast before our very eyes. We are losing our image, identity and our culture. For my argument, we get called a racist for pointing this out about the mass Indian immigration. They immediately combat us saying “look what you did to the natives” like come on… The truth is, we’d call out anyone else from any other country.

Why? Because in 3 years the demographics of my city has completely changed. Completely. 100% of the businesses are now Indian owned and run, with all the employess being Indian... and 90% of the people on the streets and living there are now non-european immigrants.

No mention of ideologies and religious beliefs that are contradictory to the Canadian love of freedom, equal rights and accepting your neighbour as they are. It is unfair to ask the established Canadians to mindlessly welcome in some immigrants that will in turn try to change or eradicate these precious beliefs which are already shaky…..then add housing, medical care etc etc and it is a recipe for disaster.

Scapegoating? It's simple supply and demand, and nothing can change it. Socialism won't fix it, importing impoverished people won't fix it, legislation won't fix it. You have to attract people with the proper skillsets to make the country and city better. Having a booming population and no room to grow doesn't do that. The California Bay Area and Los Angeles area has already seen the problems this causes, companies and skilled workers are moving to places that they can afford to live and build companies. With more people comes less opportunities, Canada needs to learn from the mistakes of others. Do not take everyone, take those who want a better life but can also give back to the country.

The countries of European nations are being flooded with foreigners, overrunning these nations. Places like England, Germany, France, Netherlands, etc are ethnic wellsprings. Just like Japan, Korea, Vietnam, India, etc, etc. Flooding these wellsprings with other ethnic groups dissolves the ethnic groups (the nations) of those countries. England should be for the English, Japan for the Japanese, Germany for the Germans, etc. If the ruling regime actually cared about respecting different ethnicities/cultures and their existence, if they cared about actual diversity, they'd be opposed to immigration. But instead they are destroying European nations - and places like Japan and South Korea are also in the early stages of this. It's evil. \nAnd as for why Canadians are getting upset is because the ethnic compositions of Canada are changing so fast. So fast. It is becoming like a different country. Why are they doing this to us? It would feel more comfortable if the homelands of European nations were not under this same existential threat, but they are. It's alarming. This is horrific.

You have to separate the cause from the act. The cause is the government policy. So why is the government promoting this policy? In the Soviet Union Josef Stalin made it his policy to move populations around so that there were no national majorities anywhere. In this way he was able to suppress around 130 million for decades. And when the Soviet Union finally did collapse, it was in the areas with a national majority (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Azerbaidjan, Armenia, Georgia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kirgystan, Turkmenistan. It was no coincidence.\n\nCanada today is a dictatorship. There is no freedom of speech, no freedom of thought. Just look at what happened to the truck drivers during covid-19. Or look what is now happening to Jordan Peterson now. What is going on is unconstitutional, and it is the government who is behind it. The purpose of the migration is to change Canada into a minority state just as it happened in large parts of the Soviet Union. This is the only way that the dictatorship can stay in power - and it knows it.

He is delivery guy not a shopkeeper. He don't keep change.

Is no one even questioning the fact the delivery driver showed up with no change amd still too all his money.

Immigration from countries ravaged by climate change was predicted 20 years ago. It was known that this would happen. It is happening to all countries in the northern hemisphere. Its reality. Humans will just have to adjust and not resort to cruelty.

We called this out years ago for you Canadians. Warned if you didn't change your immigration policies, you would be in the same boat that we Americns are in. No country in the history of the world survived open borders. Not one. America and Canada are making the same mistake. And if history is any lesson, both our countries will see epic civil unrest in the future. Guaranteeed.\n\nThe Canadian dream has become just like the American dream, you have to be asleep, to believe it.

If you want immigration to be slowed and controlled to a reasonable number then stop voting for tye Liberals, NDP and yes, the UCP. Vote for the People Party of Canada! The top three parties dont want change.

You do not let your country be invaded. Specially by people that change the way your country looks and demands you abide by their religion.

It is so sad that middle eastern countries and their people believe in and run their governments by the Koran. If all of these people want it that way then they need to stay where it is the rule. If they don’t, then change it. There are many countries that would help. It couldn’t be any worse than what smugglers do to innocent humans.

this is disgraceful change the laws now

unfortunately conservatives afraid to make changes to the board, Ford, wake up

The princess is angry that he did not give her a 1 dollar change ?

Your government will NEVER listen to you. You are the great experiment. Just like the UK. NOTHING will change with the change in leadership. Because votes don't empower government. Treasury bonds do. Your vote is an illusion to keep you compliant. Just vote, if enough people want change, change will happen. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. The UK government only had 20% of the votes and now they are in power and there are riots all over the UK because Two teir keir siad he would rather be in DAVOS than WESTMINSTER.... Sorry my Candian friends but it is only going to get worse.. Much worse.

It doesn't matter how many of them are doing it, that any of them think they have the right is appalling and a warning. No one saw Hitler's early changes as a threat either

This is done by design. Soros once said he doesn't believe in sovereign states and borders. They want to create a global identity. That is why they destabilize countries and create mass migration. This is an invasion and they are changing the fabric of our society. This crisis is going to bankrupt our cities and country! ?

Good for her. Made my day seeing this because you’re renting a place that’s no more than 12 hundred a month and changing ppl a ridiculous amount for a shoebox. ????? keep up the great work girl,you got them right where you need them. Love it

Instead of promoting family values and encouraging young families to bring children, western countries bring in foreigners who often have completely opposite values, world views and lifestyle, refuse to assimilate and simply change the western society and its culture to the point where it cannot be recognised… ((

Western governments bomb or coup these countries then force their population to absorb the consequences. Then they are shocked when the people get upset that their country is changing overnight. Throw in that the citizens of western nations standard of living is declining and you have something very explosive. I feel bad for the refugees thinking they are going somewhere better when that's not reality.

Thank God Canada is not an islamic country. Same if a Canadian moved to Islam, they would NOT welcome our culture and freedoms. Multiculturalism creates a space for economic failure, loss of identity, and an overall unsafe place to live. Canadians don't want to change our culture to suit yours. This is a country founded on Christian values.

Go change the locks, take her out and lock the door.

This legislation needs to be changed to support the landlords and if the the federal , provincial and municipal levels provides incentives to landlords maybe people wouldn’t withhold rent. Olivia Chow invited people to Toronto and the NDp will support you.

Serious question. What stops them changing locks when the goes out, and owner's move back in. Then when Police are called, say you don't know whi she is and have owner documents ready. Just deny she lives there.

Balanced immigrants based on merits are good for Canada. It's overwhelming influx of Indians changing dynamics of demographics.

Justin Trudeau embraces the absurdities of progressive identity obsession and also kowtows to the cartels and oligarchs that run Canada's economy. The need for cheap labour to run the businesses essential to maintaining the fiction that the middle class is well off led to the foreign worker programs that benefit the corporate bottom line and keep the Laurentian ruling class in power. Record profits in the grocery sector riding on the coattails of price and wage fixing and price increases that have nothing to do with wholesale costs allowed the grocery cartel to more than double their return on food and beverage sales. Protectionist legislation to prevent foreign competition and protect the cartels means there won't be any substantive change under this government. Meanwhile the same government has increased the size of the bureaucracy by over 10,000 people in the last year alone while fewer and fewer actual services are competently delivered because the number of front line workers directly serving Canadians has shrunk. The longer the Junior regime is in power the worse the shock treatment will be.

This happens when leadership do things without thinking...changing anything..drastically will result in this....
