Doesn't feel Canadian or look Canadian? Really? Weren't the native Americans the first real indigenous people in Canada?

I wish I had not moved to western countries many years ago, worst culture (individualism), worst retirement (live/die alone or in a retirement home), worst family structure (kids move out after 18 yrs).. the only good thing about these countries is the education system.. which they stole from the Islamic World and the land they stole from Native people..

Clearly native Canadians dont want uncontrolled population of indians in Canada, why so many Indians still go there? I mean have some self respect people.

Welcome to civilization! Since the beginning of time from nomads, ancient civilization, tribes, clans this has been the way over every continent newcomers drive others out. Europeans did it to the natives. Take history, sociology or anthropology. Nothing new under the sun. I wonder what native people remember and who interviewed them. On the flip side their have been job shortages in some industries and that’s what caused the immigration push…no one white wants those jobs. Dude do your homework.

Canada doesn't belong to white people, it belonged to the native Americans

White & Native homeless everywhere in Canada

Probably because they have been terrorizing native Brits and Jews for months with their protests.

Just for your information. A simple logical search can give you abundant knowledge and probably enhance everyone's perspectives.\n\nIndia\n2022 Nominal GDP in Current U.S. Dollars: $3.39 trillion\n2022 PPP Adjusted GDP in Current International Dollars: $11.87 trillion\n2022 GDP Growth: 7%\n2022 Nominal GDP Per Capita in Current U.S. Dollars: $2,388\n\nCanada\n2022 Nominal GDP in Current U.S. Dollars: $2.14 trillion\n2022 PPP Adjusted GDP in Current International Dollars: $2.27 trillion\n2022 GDP Growth: 3.4%\n2022 Nominal GDP Per Capita in Current U.S. Dollars: $54,967\n\nIndia is a much richer country than Canada and is much stronger economically as well. Probably since it's far and since education is so scarce in the information age maybe it's difficult for people here to comprehend. The only reason India is lacking behind is because of it's abundant population and it was not blessed with self rule up until 1947 which kind of derailed it's progress by years thanks to European Colonization and discrimination. \nJust as an example for folks who are ignorant to see India as a third world or poor or poorly run country - \n* The way India handled Covid for 1+ billion people is something close to impossible for Canada with a meagre population of around 40 million. \n* You don't have to wait for months or weeks for normal checkups, MRIs, doctors and so on. \n* You don't have to pay $50+ per month for a meagre 10-30gb data instead it's less than $4 per month for 1-2gb/day data (yes per day)\n* The military budget of India is 66 billion dollars while Canada's is a meagre 26 Billion dollars.\n* India is capable of launching advanced missions in Space and has single handedly indigenously created aircrafts to land in moon and space exploration.\n* India has home grown automobile companies like Tata Motors (which owns Jaguar and Land Rover), Mahindra and many more while I don't see any homegrown automobile companies in Canada.\n* India has more than 170 billionaires while Canada has around 70.\n* India's richest people won't even bother to invest in Canada because it's not a viable market, but the economy in India is booming and will continue to do so.\n* Despite the population the country is managing in such a way that Canada can only dream off. Just because you had the privilege and the means to be developed does not give you the right to demean other nations. It's really nothing that you did, it's just pure luck, right place, right time, white superiority, destruction and so on which enables you to live such privileged lives and now you are crying when people are actually working hard to provide some competition.\n\nDon't you think regardless of race or ethnicity, every human being deserves the best life? \n\nBefore you judge a country do some research. \n\nYes, the people in general have a different thought process where in prominence is not given to space, way of living, probably you can put it up as standard of living and the quality of thought process. But that's always the case with generalization. I know it's hard not to when you see it, but being a better human is all about thinking beyond that. Yes people in India are general prone to having a shortcut process, at the same time, highly skilled people are abundantly present. In the information sector and other highly skilled areas, they are present earning loads of money which reverberates to more tax money for the government. \n\nI know that they have major issue with absorbing the host country culture and I believe that can probably or maybe alleviated by having some cultural programs so that they can fit into the society so that the Canadian culture is upheld. It's always difficult to see changes around you and your home being in your words being raided by foreign entities. Guess what? The world is filled with different ethnic groups. Hundreds of years ago all your native homes were part of the indigenous people here and they didn't even have time to complain or lament online when the Europeans butchered them and massacred their homelands, claiming the land and setting up as their own. Now you are in a position to call something your home and we all know what all your ancestors did regardless of how good you are right now. The least you can do is not comment such provocatively online against other ethnicities or is this atrocity still there in your blood. It's very simple. Try to think beyond frustration and be grateful for what you have. \n\nBy the way I can write more but I don' think it's worth my time but maybe positive things can happen if you put your mind into.

Real Canadians are the natives, and everyone else is an immigrant ;)

Native Indians felt the same! Its karma! live it

All whites in canada are also migrants from europe ' check history of US and canada ' all migrant ' only redindians are native american

Just like when the Native Americans were driven from THEIR LAND...TRUTH ???

Now you know how the native indians felt when whitey took over

I belong to a native tribe and i completely understand how canadians feel about this demographic change. I hope you guys can do smth about it. Don't let the politicians and foreigners ruin your country man.

Has the town got to majority white to be Canadian ? What about the Native American ? How does he feel about the situation ? Just because the white people decimated the Native Americans and colonised their land doesn’t give them the right to decide what Canada should look like, right ?

@Harrison, there a bunch of holes in your story an thus superficial or lacking, yet has potential to be more Canadian in that you need to differentiate a bit more, attention in the details that you may have missed, votebank, Punjab province certain cluster of uncouth or gang type, instead of drawing in all religions and races and the best educated like how the US does with it, instead of a votebank cluster, that make up only 3% of the Indian population, yet 50% of Brampton, yet Canada is slower to do such. As I hope you know that, in that in Canada a city doesn’t usually choose newcomers directly factors of, ethnocentrism, pricing, etc are.  \n\nIt was or used to be that newcomers in many cases had to move to less populated centres i.e. in Saskatchewan/Manitoba etc, to help make the place more profitable and big as born Canadians usually didn’t want to move there. As your worst nightmare, me Canadian born Indian with a more Canadian accent than yours, yet I speak French yet am from the GTA. You should dig deeper instead of the old squeaky rhetoric repeating, you forget to mention Gurudwaras do have langar known as no charge meal, but you have potential to be known and yet ask people if they or why they are or aren’t willing to integrate. Any colour fair game, aside from asking Ukranian displaced on temporary refugee visa, not bc they are lacking melanin protection, but because their country is unsafe from aggression by a crazy. However, social programs are missing or drug users not willing to take up a program for various reasons. Maybe through proper fact checking, explain how India has over 200 ethnic and linguistic communities and why only one group is province, ethnic/attitude is prominent in Canada.  \n\nAlso do explain that there were many that were here in late 1800’s along with Chinese and Irish making railroads dragged over by British, the same British who invaded lands of established native nations people in Canada. Who are suffering from drug and alcohol problems likely tied to psychologic hurt to their fam or poor conditions, not just saying laziness etc.\n\nAlso to the incompetent people who think Indians only eat curry, which curry is largely a British invention, hence the last name in UK of caucasian people (white) of “Curry”, it is fun to laugh at ignorant or stupid people of any ethnic group bc it signals monkey brain intelligence. \n\nAlso, how about report on the alleged Nazi ties of poorly screened or liars who came from Ukraine circa 1940’s, even alleged ties to some poli in Canadia. \n\nGood street level reporting, just focus on facts and non sensationalist approach for a large win and even ethnics who agree with you.

rwsinha, what about the native Canadians? Who killed them off??

rwsinha, Whose country is Canada? When white man invaded Canada, this they ask the natives. So what

Sorry but you're all immigrants, actually the Indians look more like the Canadian natives (first nation people) than the white european immigrants

The Natives are asking why there are so many Europeans in Canada

If Canada continuous at this rate, they're not going to have many native Canadian workers at this point staying in their native country. They would even be embarrassed and refuse to fly the Canadian Flag, if the US flag gives them more opportunities than Canada does. And to be honest, at this point they could end up in a much worse recession than they were in 2008, but that's just me.

My understanding is that the real Canadians are not white but native Indian.Stop shoeing your ignorance of Canada's history and your hateful racism

Here in Australian we have similar problems with migrants ,and they come mostly from Asia the problem is they unfortunately create mono cultures in many city suburbs,where they speak only their languages, and live like they were still in their native countries,and dictate to the rest of us what we can and cannot eat,in the suburb I live we cannot buy pork meat from the butchers. ,because they’re owned by muslims, they make little or no effort to assimilate,I think calling it multicultural is a wrong way to describe it ,A ??more accurate term would be multimonocultures ?

So what your point ? Its just another immigration wave . you not a native and can’t complain about it, your grand grandparents was same “indians” speaking own language lol

Well Canada couldn't live by itself. They need people ..manpower...they are incapable. Look at the people getting interviewed...drug addiction and homeless...no one else. \nWhere did Canadians come from BTW? Europe...are Canadians native to Canada? No.

You stole the land from native Indians , Now someother race is taking over at least they are doing it legally be happy about that

Natives said this when European came to Canada. Now European say this.

White people know they are not Canadians right! They are immigrants too...Natives are Canadians...they bring people here who are going to work and alot of white people dont want to work as the lady said they are on drugs...its funny how there are people who think they are better than others and dont look at their flaws just pointing fingers!

When Europe came through destroying the Native American culture, did you feel sympathy towards the natives? Nope. Indians need to triple their arrivals to Canada.

Too bad. The white people invading Canada and wiping out native Canadians did not bother to integrate into their culture, often did the reverse by force. Now it is happening to them and cannot stomach it.

hold on were'nt the native indians kicked out by the english and the french? karma is indeed a bitch perhaps?

I left Canada in 1985. My grandparents were Canadian born, but I could see the trend in the 80’s when the first waves of Chinese were welcome to move to Canada with money, buy real estate, business interests, and provide tax dollars for a Government that was addicted to spending and would never satisfy their Liberal agenda, with the tax revenue alone from hard working, productive Canadians. I have never regretted my move, and have watched Canada sell citizenship and resident status to anyone with the cash. You reap what you sow. Canada has become a country of mutts, while a relatively small and declining population of native born Canadians pay high taxes, deal with crime and the raging drug crisis, fuelled by foreign immigrants who will never really put Canada first. Why should they? The Government has set an example of National prostitution, that begins with open borders and ends in despair.

NOW YOU KNOW HOW THE NATIVE AMERICANS FELT. Except without the murder, rape, and kidnapping.

How did white people end up in Canada? They emigrated there and then mass murdered the natives.

Canadians tend to forget that they are foreigners in somebody else’s land. White Europeans stole the land from native Canadians. Canada belongs to the natives not to white European immigrants. If they don’t like it, they can head back to Europe

The white people replaced Native Indians and now the Indians are replacing them what a Irony

Natives are the real Canadians though

So you know how Native Americans felt when Europeans invaded the continent.

They should breed with the red indians (natives) and produce a race of superindians that excel at both art and science

The native people wonder why there are so many white people..

You do realise Europeans did the same thing to Canada.. right? But they actually killed most of the natives.

They dont complain when they killed native americans to build their new colonies where only they are multiplying .

Why don't you ask the natives how they view the demographic changes? Why do you feel, as a white man, that you are entitled to live in this land and they are not? This land is for those who come legally, contribute to the economy, and pay their taxes. If you think that being white makes you more entitled, then that is supremacism and racism. In that case, you're in for a long life, my friend. You will live a life filled with hate because these people are going nowhere unless you are planning a mass deportation behind the scenes that we don’t know about.

To all the jokers crying about loss of culture and adapting, do you think your white ancestors across the pond learnt the native language and adapted to their culture?

the elephant in the room is the fact that the real motive behind anti catholic trudeaus immigrant push, is to overwhelm and subdue the judeo christian populace, and replace it basically, with pagans...ironically, this is being done intentionally through hatred...just look at all the native 'graves' that were presumed to be filled with the victims of the catholic churchs native abuse victims, but which in fact WERE EMPTY!!!

Palestinian are not refugees in their own homes. Who is this journalist asking this question?? It's like saying remove the native Americans from America when they are the natives.?. Disgusting question.

The UK government are planning to replace certain natives like this horrid man with respectful law abiding citizens.

if you see at 4.12 he is either brown or black most likely. he doesn't sound native as well.

This woman is so stupid with her racist accusations. No wonder most Canadians don't want foreigners coming over, all they do is accuse the native canadian populations of racism and discrimination and want to coast on that shame/guilt

Finally people in UK are pushing back. It might already be too late though. Given the population increase of islamists in UK and the decline in native population, another decade or two and sharia law will be law of the land in most places in UK
