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.

I'm from Montréal, Québec and I don’t even have the benefits listed for migrants to NYC as a Canadian citizen resident of Québec.\n\nThank you New York for relieving us and taking them in charge!

Racist? Does the country of India take in refugees?

Because leftists, as always, take things too far and ruin everything they touch.

Because they allowing job seekers instead of business creators. I tried to apply and got rejected twice. I wanted to settle in Canada and set up my own business. Sorry but Job seekers take away the jobs of citizens. IF YOU WANT business creators/entrepreneurs then yea, but job seekers take away the jobs. Its not rocket science.

Send Ukranian to USA, then you'll see whether they will abandon their own land. So you want Arab countries to take Palestinian into their country so Israel could take the whole Palestine freely.

The government should pay her rent since she can't pay her rent. If she was the owner, she would not like someone to do this to her. I would like to know if she is employed? They are taking advantage of Canada rules of owners and tenant. I hope they will have a resolution of this matter very soon.

I see both sides. The issue is the government, because they fail to take care of their citizens. However, I also understand the other side of the coin, you need to look out for your OWN PEOPLE as well and provide for them. And so it’s coming to a point where….we can’t take care of everyone……? it’s a sad situation

All because of this stupid government they will take over our country we have 2 dummies in our government

Well at least they take security serious and when the mistake was cleared up I’m sure he was let in.

Too many people to fast . It’s cost a lot and takes time . Trudeau and is government are playing politics with people’s lives.

It's a complicated situation, sad and painful but we can expext the EU to solve and take on all the issues of the arab world when arab countires are not making an effort to help there people.\n\nChange need to happen in order to help those who wants better life but it can not fall on a few countries.

Listen I feel for migrants and refugees, but it’s also not the job of other countries to take them on. Most countries are already struggling to provide for their own people. This is why I understand why leaders like Trump say he wants to send back illegal immigrants. So much resources have to provided to refugees and migrants. It’s important for people to also push back and reform their own countries. If they are seeking refuge due to circumstances beyond any control, then it’s somewhat understandable…however, many factors need to be considered before taking them on. All country’s citizens deserve the priority first. So many countries are struggling and then are expected to provide for illegal immigrants/migrants :( it’s not fair to these countries.

The ukrainian guy said $10,000 canadian for truck driver school? Uh? In the US you can get hired with a company and they will take your driving school fees out of your check.

How about Germany takes all of jews. All the jews around the world are German descent.

Why do you let people IN and then blame them \nWe Indians take a pride leaving in the west , here back in India as well

People could hire certain individuals to “ take care” of the tenant.

Canadian law favours our criminals & law abiding citizens are the ones who get shafted smh. It’s one thing for an honest person to go broke for one reason or another & I can have empathy for them & even wanna help in the short term . However , what she is doing is clearly just taking advantage of the situation & more than likely has the funds to pay she just won’t do it.

Sorry if you rent someone’s place and take advantage of the situation we’ll try to make other arrangements sorry . She wants to live in condo and you choose not to pay the rent . renters are taking advantage hope this is a learning lessons to owners .

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

Just don't take it out on random foreigners on the street. No matter the situation, we should all uphold basic human decency.

Laws in Canada benefit the Criminals. You can commit fraud and stuff like this shown in the Video and get away with it. You can also commit more serious crimes like removing someone from this earth and the laws here will benefit these people as well. Take Nova Scotia for example, A person in my area took a life over 50 dollars, this person was than released 2 years later and was then involved in another crime which was taking a life. \n\nThis is the System in Canada.

What could her excuse be? She is taking advantage of the system it’s pathetic.

Good take the indians lol

What happens if the owner defaults on their mortgaage - does bank takes over the property and evict the tenant?

People need to take the LTB to court.

people are going to start taking things into their own hands

Dug ford needs to fix the tenant board... Everyone is taking advantage!

The tenants have all the leverage. It takes 6 to 8 months just to get a hearing. They jump from one unit to another without paying much rent.

I'm Italian and seeing this title I can't help but laugh. First of all, Canada belongs to the natives of the country, that doesn't include us, Europeans or anyone else. Native Canadians have a reason to be against us taking their land.

immigration is the sold out left wings peoples way to please there corporate overlords. i am a hardcore union and labour guy flooding the work market with immigration workers limits our ability to negotiate for better pay meaning companies can take more.\n\ni am not against immigration in total to have growth in the west and fill in the birth shortfalls we need immigrants. but the amount the west has taken in is much greater than we can expect grow and only causes us to get homelessness and gettos while the haves struggles to raise wages. what the common man wants is reasonable figures of immigrations and due to the flood might mean the coming years 0 immigrants is on the table.

Easy answer: we have housing- we dont have AFFORDABLE housing... blaming the housing crisis on migrants instead of taking responsibility for their failures as politicians who have not kept up on infrastructure and then baiting us against each other so we dont blame the actual problem. Banks raise the cost of mortgages, which in turn raises rentals. This is not the fault of ppl who have had no say in our systems as they just got here, they didnt choose when they're approved to come n work n live in Canada.

They need to get buses grab these people and take them back across the border

This is criminal...two sides of the story here i can assume...but both sides are at fault...the tenant is a criminal and the landlord should have done more...put pressure on the landlord and tenants court...the landlord and tenants organization is a joke...no one takes them serious because they have a huge back load of court cases is not an excuse...the government wants more housing with out properly funding the courts and they are costing owners money 3 fold. It's a systematic virus...these figures these landlords quoted do not even include the damage the location has after the entitled criminal tenant leaves behind. Also this is not a mental heath issue, its just a plain purposely planned out criminal act. If they are criminally charged and convicted i am sure they will be comfortable in a 10 X 8 cell for 2 years with free rent, utilities and 3 square meals a day. Ford never takes in account possible issues that can arise he jumps into a project and never considers the side effects...maybe in heart he is a PC but he acts like a Liberal. They need the back log dealt with and a special team to police this industry.

Landlord Tenant board is a joke and should be called Tenant Board. Since PC govt came in power two housing minister have made situation worse for small landlords. There are less adjudicators than 6 years ago and applications take upto a year before learning takes place. Even then, any excuse by tenants is tolerated but landlord suffer. I will not invest any more in Ontario. It is a very very bad place and PC govt does not care. I do not know what housing minister does all day. Sad.

I am 45 I lost my job! Now I can't find any work 1 year been looking. Never had this issue before. Too many international students taking over the jobs most not even going to school working full time jobs

Take them into your home the government says...

Dude ease off the meth and that high Kermit voice will drop with your huevos.. and take down the annoying af factor.. frantic angst is out...

When you own a home and are renting it out. You are fully responsible for the housing of the tenant. This is the rule in Canada. You want to take on the task of being a landlord then this is what you got to deal with. The rent amount must be so ridiculous that this poor girl can't afford it. ?

Now in manipur (India) immigrants from Myanmar demanding their separate state by starting violence against indigenous people( meitei) by the immigrants(kukis). Thousands of meitei are being displaced, hundreds of lives has been lost. Our generosity has put ourselves in danger now and government is not taking any action. Im urging you all take actions before its to late!

As usual the Saudis refuse to take any refugees into their vast land so the Palestinians will continue to suffer. Ridiculous!

Migration is not the problem. The problem is those military age men with those fancy degrees who are cowards and run away instead of building their country and make it strong, they rather get everything for free from Europe who also refuse to adapt to new culture and follow the law of the land and want Europeans to submit to them. Europe needs to send them to prison. Rather take good people who will benefit Europe with culture and knowledge.

???? Let NYC have them they are Democrats and they set Trump up so let the immigrants take over nyc to late ?

Take it up with the politicians you elected, don’t target the powerless immigrants

because why do only the white countries need to take in immigrants with no limits. why? it just doesnt make sense like idc you are fleeing some prosecution in your country

You can take the man out of the gutter but you can't take the gutter out of the man

Stop them no matter what it takes.

North Korea seems to have a handle on illegal immigration. Maybe we should take a lesson.

WOW IMAGINE THAT: Canada deports illegal immigrants and does not offer them FREE HOUSING and food, money etc...MAYBE THEY ARE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SHOULD THE U.S. TAKE EXAMPLE????????????????????????

Similar issues here in the US, only ours are pouring in over the southern border with Mexico. Hardly any speak English nor have any real interest to, as well as no interest in assimilation. They live in their own little communities surround by their own kind, 90% being illegal as hell. We have immigrant problems of the less legal type here. They just come on over. Parasites upon our welfare system, the left takes advantage of them as future D voters & to bulk up their delegates which are based on population. Look at the sanctuary cities. Overrun with crime. But when we ship them to marthas vineyard or nyc or dc, where these wealthy leftists reaide, then oh no suddenly theres a problem ? they dont want them in their own cities their own back yards. F'ing hypocrites. It really does give evidence to the great replacement theory. Look it up if you don't already know. Theres a very real reason for all this happening the way it is.
