Joe biden just let a lot of people in believe me if they don't get what they need here they will go to Canada

Nobody like to live in their country. if you go for vacation after one week you coming back to your country you are going to say no place is better than home . The reason the people are there because they make damage there

Why is everyone moving to Toronto. Canada is not Toronto. There are many places in Canada that needs to be developed. Why not develop other places. Toronto is saturated with people. Our resources are depleted. Rents are very high. New immigrants should go live in other parts of Canada. Start communities and businesses in other areas. All new immigrants cannot settle in Toronto. We need the rest of Canada to be developed.

So many people come and commit crimes, ignore our laws and live off the government. We needed certain skilled people and I could care less what country they come from as that immigration is crucial to our economy and population. Right now there isn't enough housing for our own citizens. It's irresponsible. If families want to sponsor an immigrant family that's awesome. The rest of us want our tax money actually going to our citizens. That's not racist, that's common sense.

Canada needs to STOP handing out PR to everyone especially people over 60 who are not going to contribute to the tax system and burden the healthcare system that is already crashing!!!

Wait what are you talking about right to shelter offering generous housing to anyone who asks?! Because I live in Atlanta and my son is homeless in Charlotte and he was homeless in Atlanta and all I see are homeless people lying all over the streets! I'm sure they've asked for housing but they're not getting any! What the f*** is going on!!!! So if you commit a crime by illegally crossing the border and coming here illegally you get good services and housing but people in this country some people have lost their jobs and become homeless and they cannot get help no seriously people what the f*** is going on!!

i just asked a.i why construction costs are through the roof and one of three reasons is increased fuel costs ... and shortage of construction workers ... the real problem is the supply and demand ... if you don't agree people should think about what happens when not enough people are buying something at the retail stores - the thing will go on sale. Don't forget the WEF is in Switzerland where they have anonymous Swiss bank accounts and ten billionaires for every politician who attends ... no chance for global real estate investment corporations to bribe our politicians to make life almost unbearable for too many Canadians by bringing in too many people so the price of real estate goes unchecked eh ? It's a vicious cycle now ... construction costs are too high now due to too much immigration ... immigration must be slowed down !!!

If Canada fall and people have to go to other country would you like people put you out or talk stuff about you like what y'all talking?

Small landlords get fleeced waiting for the tribunal. \n\nBut if you're a corporate landlord, you get your case heard in a week or two. Why? How? Well, these corporations have lawyers who each book dozens or hundreds of time slots a year IN ADVANCE. They know they will only use a few of them for their needs. The rest go unused. Meanwhile people booking tribunal cases as needed get pushed out a year or more.\n\nThis is a broken system tailored for the rich and connected. The tenants who abuse it are doing so as a loophole strategy.

When the hammer comes down NO ONE IS GOING TO LIKE IT. Tenants will eventually have absolutely no say. And people like this ruined it for all of us.

Because our government cannot take care of its own people, yet we take care of people who are rushing here because they need some place to go. \n\nTo house and provide jobs to non-Canadians first is wrong. \n\nHelp Cnds first. We were here and we will be here.

people are going to start taking things into their own hands

Order says to move out by Aug 18. Not only is she able to appeal, which will be granted for any reason she can invent, but even if this doesn't happen he still has to schedule the sheriff to physically perform the eviction which is minimum 8 to 10 weeks out. This is one of the causes of the housing market in that people with units available to rent won't do so because they are scared of this happening to them. Literally thousands of units across Ontario go vacant due to the broken LTB.

I love how he mentions in the end about the housing crisis but does not address it. Housing has become unaffordable for most new homeowners yet we got all these landlords stocking up on more properties just to make more money for themselves. Yes laws need to be changed so tenants can't abuse it, but laws also needs to be changed so people aren't owning multiple homes while rest can't even afford a primary residence. I don't like going into bidding wars to purchase my first property when the people I am bidding against already own multiple properties.

also if you go to other countries that isn't first world. why do they h8 immigrates? and they don't like other people from third world countries as well. who the bigot one now?\nmy parents are immigrants, so im not really against immigrants. i think it is better if we have enough housing and then open the border more. \npeople joke about why....because trudeau needs to import voters cause this own citizens are trying to vote him out

No wonder people do not want to rent out nowadays with disgusting rogue tenants like these. The system is broken. And the govt does not give a damn to fix it. The govt is equally responsible along with these rogue tenants for this ugly mess, all the govt wants is to tax vacant condo home owners for their own policy blunders and lethargic system. Who in the right mind would want to rent out after seeing this. My sympathies go out to these condo home owners for the plight they are in who are running from pillar to post to get their dues and to get these rogue tenants evicted.

We can all agree that the lack of new infrastructure going back to the 80s is why we are in this pickle.\nBut just blindly bringing in mass amounts if people just so the federal Liberals can create false GDP while pointing the finger of blame at past governments is not acceptable either.\nStop the inflow, \nbuild the homes\nRestart the inflow at a sustainable level.\nSimple!

Soon noone is going to be able to rent out their properties... wonder where people are going to live??? hmmm

I think I saw that young woman on the news a while ago saying her rent was going up . two sisters anyways . I'm sorry to her about her sister. but you have a rental agreement with Mr Singh and should adhere to it or get out . and the other people should get out of that house also or keep paying your rent till you come to an agreement with the owner of the home in Brampton . the law has to change .

You should get asylum in the nearest country that is safe. It's nonsens that most people want to go to the same place and travel half the globe doing it

Look, the challenging housing market is not this man's problem to fix. He rented his home out, they agreed on terms, she violated them repeatedly. What do you want from him, hes a charity?? He's just a man with a home. He shouldnt be demonized. Anybody can do the same if they want to. This is the simplest concept in society. You dont pay, you leave. I dont know what people are going on about saying he should know the risks, like he's a fool.

How can people afford to pay rent?They end up setting up tents in the streets....they shouldn't have let housing prices go up in BC years ago....

It’s not about skin colour. Never was. That’s misinformation. It’s about resources, too many people regardless of skin colour or gender. Need I go on?

Enough, hardship doesn't qualify as refugee. People need to water their own grass rather than go to someone else's that then becomes ruined with their problems

The strain on the public health care system is outrageous and the tables have turned. Canada is sliding into a third world country. Go to the E R department anywhere in your city and look around and see for yourself. Not many English or French speaking people crowded in the waiting rooms waiting double digit hours to seek medical aid. Very grim situation and that is the reality here folks.

Our nations are our homes. Our borders are the national equivalent of the walls and doors of our houses. We, our parents and grandparents have worked hard to make our nation/homes comfortable for our children and our children's children, who are, oddly enough, of the same race as ourselves. Power stations, water and power distribution networks, sewerage, buildings, mines and farms etc. did not fall from the sky.\n\nBurglars want better lives. That is why they go into other people's homes to get a share of the stuff that the residents have worked had to pay for. Modern migrants are like burglars. Our governments are giving our homes away to burglars.

People from India go to Canada because its too crowded here and not enough opportunities, now there are too many Indian in Canada as well and its the same problem. LOL

Landlords are parasites, they rely on other people to actually go out and stimulate the economy. The whole business model is to target high wage earners who cant afford a mortgage for whatever reason. Career landlords can cry whatever crocodile tears they want. They add no value to society.

I mean, show the numbers and ratio of people we've been letting in in the past few years to anyone and they'd say we're insane. We live in a time where someone saying we need to go back to reasonable numbers is a brave and bold statement when it should be the norm for any country.

Just to think that BEFORE COLONIZATION and bordes ...those people use to come and go freely ????

The people already living in the countries that a Trillion of immigrants want to go to can not afford to pay more tax dollars to support these people. SEND THEM BACK!!! ? we have families to support, no money left to support strangers!!!!

What you mean if you offer people free stuff they are going to show up ?????? Who would have thought

What part of “we would die if we stayed in our home countries” do people not understand. If my life was at risk and/or I couldn’t go from poor to at least middle class in my home country, I would leave too. So many Americans are leaving America, because they can’t get to the middle class or they would financially struggle here. Whats the difference? Oh right, they’re coming and they’re poor. But wait, there’s that other point THEY WOULD DIE if they stayed. If you don’t care about that you’re an inhumane sociopath.

ABYONE TALKING WORSE THAN AN ANIMAL FOR THESE PEOPLE HAVE,NEVER KNOWN WAR,POVERTY,KIDS SUFFERING OR MOTHERS GOING THROUGH HELL.IF YOU CAN'T SAY SOMETHING NICE THEN SHUT UP AND ZIP YOUR LIPS.

This would never happen with Trump in office, better hope none of them are criminals. Oh... that's right.. they're all criminals ?‍? on the bright side it's going to create a lot of jobs next year when all these people need to be found, documented, then deported

sigh.... what do u expect EU to do for you? EU has housing millions of migrants now, they dont want anymore. Most migrants and refugees all wanan go to germany, france, uk... They had enough also. Meanwhile, eastern border countries dont wanna accept these people also, because they know the western european countries wont want them either. Nobody wants to accept these migrants. It's sad, but also understandable. Dont blame the migrants who want to seek better lives for themselves, we all do. Blame the world and their leaders for f**king up these countries and now their people have to leave their home countries..

I have little sympathy for people from a religious background that is fundamentally patriarchal, sexist and fascist who then demand asylum but refuse to assimilate and value local laws and traditions. Countries in Europe don't owe these people anything. Go to Iran or UAE or stay in Turkey. You will be happier in Muslim majority countries.

Im a teenager living in Toronto and its hard seeing rent for my cramped apartment go up when its already hard for family to pay. The only way I think I can be happy is to move away as so many people come in to the country I hold dear.

I keep thinking that people will smarten up but in fact it continues to get worst. People continue to vote for the very political party that made this all possible. \nWe cannot sustain all these people. We need to fix the issues going on in our country with our own people first before we can even think about helping anybody else. And plus with all the determination that these fighting age men that are crossing. Why can’t they use this strength like the size groups of illegals and simply fight for their own country to make things better there?\nThe cone to our county and literally spit on our rules , and want to try and change things to the way there country is and what they are fleeing from.

I don’t understand what’s the problem if you let everyone migrate to where they want too. It’s just lines on a map that separate us, think back a couple 100 years people could go basically anywhere they wanted.

Bringing in people with completely different customs, cultures, languages and experiences who have no intention of assimilating into a new country, but create mini enclaves of the failed societies they left behind. What could go wrong? It's madness.

Why do you want to impose your call to prayer on the rest of us? Literally in NYC 2001 Having been through 9/11 that music is a reminder the hate and division created by your people. Why would you go to Canada in the first place? A better life? what does that say about Islamic countries? Your complaints ae shallow. BTW I hate both sides of your 1000 year war.

England is gone to the Dogs ?, To much PC, o don't offend them, but if you go in their country and do the same, you are stoned, or decapitated on AL Jazeera live. \nYou see Britain, they come to your country with lots of baggage, they will NEVER, NEVER, NEVER INTEGRATE WITH YOU, IT'S AGAINST THEIR RELIGION. \nMARK MY WORDS, IN 2050, ENGLAND IS GONE COMPLETELY, IT'S GONE BE 70 PERCENT MUSLIM PEOPLE IN ENGLAND

It's very unlikely that Canadian news/mainstream media is going to report on the issue of people entering the USA from the Canadian side of the fence illegally. Our government also censors the hell out of our social media platforms and news can't be viewed on several of them. They won't want us to know. Take a few minutes to look into the number of censorship bills that got passed in recent years.

Because people across the West are starting to notice that we're all being flooded with thrid welrd immigrants against our will, to the point where our native/host populations will become minorities in our own countries. \nNot that hard to figure out. \n15 or so years ago, most of us thought the future was going to be amazing. Now we're realizing that our entire civilization is slowly being taken over by a bunch of violent 4 inners. \nFrom 1981 to 2021, in just 40 years, Canada's W population went from 93.3% to 69.8%. As I already said, this is happening across the West. All the while, we're told it's just a crazy theory. We've had enough.

Why dont they go to a muslim country if they want sharia law, there are plenty of muslim countries that they could go to, but of course they do not have a decent benefit system. If Islam is such a great idea, which I have no argument with in principle, surely these people would be more comfortable on one of those countries rather than being in this country which they seem not to like ??

@4:36 So, let me get this straight. They built condominiums, where people are going into bidding wars, resulting in extremely high prices; and you still find a way to blame immigrants, because they are - what, gonna be able to afford this?\n\nThe nonsense coming out of her mouth.

I agree as a canadian canada is becoming too expensive to live in, a lot of people are choosing to leave. The gouv should make sure the immigrants who came do not go back as their countries are now better than canada

This is SUCH a puff piece completely one sided that dismisses legitimate concerns as the only reason being xenophobic......Canada has always welcomed people but it was done at a lot slower pace where people had a chance to assimilate and build a life. You can't add over a million people a year with different cultures and pretend it's going to be ok. Ignoring the massive housing crisis, it's a culture crisis. A lot of the people coming do not share Canadian values, period. Canadians are noticing a massive change in the country they love seemingly overnight. You go out in any city and you barely see white people anymore. It's jarring. It was made into an amazing country by certain people and now it seems new immigrants are treated better than citizens. Everyone is in favor of immigration done the right way, but that isn't what's happening and natural born Canadians have every right to be upset that the country is being ruined in a way they don't want.

Similar things happening in parts of Australia, high rents people being pushed out of suburbs where they use to live, Immigrants, uni students doing Uber or Doordash just to get by and finding careers they study for won’t exist or over saturated. Families living in tents as houses they go for have multitude of applications not enough affordable infrastructure,\nWe also need smart migration
