It's all cities now. I feel like I'm the foreigner even though I was born here and never been anywhere else.

There are probably over 100k living in Calgary's NE. It's like a completely different city in a completely different country.

You think Brampton is bad, what about Surrey BC. There are some parts of Surrey you can't tell what country your in, then you got to mention Vancouver where we are quoted as the most Asian city in Canada. All sad but true. What happened to this country is beyond weak. Thanks 1997 UN immigration agreement with Canada!

If we moved to any country you would live by their rules. They move to Canada they do and wear what they want. We have our RCMP that look like India police with turbans. They get to carry their religious knives, they don't have to wear helmets while riding a motorcycle. Then you get women wearing the full garbage bags. The beach is funny to go to and look at their bathing suits. We are a minority in our own Country, just go to any major city in Canada, it's pretty sad to see our Trudeau Canada. Close the border we're full.

Seen my share of truck stop washroom horror here in small city Ontario.\nYes it's related to east Asian religious hygiene.\nI'll never grab a washroom door barehanded again. \nGood grief.\nPools are for swimming in.\nNot porcelain thrones.\n\nFact check me....its not racist one bit.

Welcome to Canada the city that going down the SHITHOLE YES SHITHOLE.

The city belongs to the dead now, the liberals have given it away to foreigners

Where I live every house has been worn down. The lawns unkept, garbage in alleys and BACKYARDS are like dumps now. Tent cities everywhere. I remember when the area was mostly European, the area was maintained.

The 2021 Census of Brampton is intentionally misleading. The total number of ethnic people who are Indian is $308,210. Punjabi is a provincial region in India, and Sikh and Hindu are not separate ethnicities, but faith groups. Adding these additional subcategories are intended to hide the over whelming presence of one ethnicity in the city. What is the result? $308K is almost half the total population of Brampton in 2021. What's the impact? Sikh Khalistani Separatist's hosting a parade in the community in 2022 with one float depicting the 1984 assassination of prime minister Indira Gandhi. This caused a lot a controversy with the Indian government. The construction of a 5 story high statue of the Hindu God Hanuman which is nearing completion this month at a Hindu Temple in Brampton.

@kata5637\n0 seconds ago\nBramgladesh.. shame how that city has evolved but same goes for most GTA cities. White IS the minority in Canada and Canada is no longer the multicultural country it use to be. It’s primarily East Asian and Asian.

It's going on in Peterborough and City of Kawartha Lakes.

For anyone to reply: I’m on the fence here, I grew up in downtown Toronto in a very mixed neighbourhood. I do not like Trudeau liberals and NDP coalition. I disagree with the mass immigration under his reign: Canada’s healthcare system has been on life support for decades… inflation, tent cities and food insecurity. We need to fix our own problems before allowing immigration: “we need to put on our own O2 mask before helping others”. Stating that, since the Indian population has grown in Brampton, what’s the solution? They are already there— i know many ppl who have come to Canada and do not know the language, can only speak Italian, and Chinese… to name a few. Seems like the ppl who are already in Brampton can speak English, and chose to speak their own language amongst themselves. \nIn Toronto we have Greek, China, Corso Italia, little Tokyo, Little Jamaica, little Portugal, little Malta, Roncesvalles (polish), and Ukrainian towns. \nI’m on the fence: since they are already here, when is it considered Racism??? \nHonest question.. looking for insightful answers and or information.

Being from Northern Ontario our city busses have 8/10 east Indians. Being a first nation I felt like a majority. Now I feel like a minority.

Canada looks big on the map, but it's really a small country with just a handful of 'big' cities. Immigration is important and has been good for Canada, but we can easily be swamped by enormous countries like India, China, the Philippines when only a tiny percentage of people from those countries want to come here. The Christian, Britsh/European character is what built this country and it will be diluted and lost.

Markham is pure Chinese and still Chinese police station. \nAnd almost none of them speak English. \nAlso they have changed the driving rules. You can no longer make left hand turns on red light, almost anywhere in the city. Cause to many Chinese people were getting in accidents, cause they could not grasp the concept.

Immigration is obviously too high, but no one should be surprised at the formation of ethnic enclaves. China Town, little Italy, Greek town, which exist in every major city, seem to be accepted and even embraced.

Brampton Ontario Canada use to be a nice clean elegant thriving Canadian city now it's a thrid world dump hole full of crime and the worst drivers in Canada.

Brampton was beautiful, it's gone now. It's been bramledish for at least a decade. Only a matter of time before the fighting starts.\nSame thing happen to Toronto, London, u.k. The white people leave because it's not their city anymore.

I grew up in Malton (borders Brampton) in the 1980's and it was all Western European and Canadian folks and it was great. Such a sense of community and everyone knew everyone. Us kids would stay out until the street lights came on and played in Parks. It was really safe. We moved away in 2006 because the area had gone such down hill by 1999 and the crime was horrible. Stolen cars, alcohol and drug abusing Punjabi folks and the domestic partner violence of the Indian men beating the crap out of their wives was insane. (I had a friend that was a Peel Region Police officer who ended up leaving because she couldn't take seeing it any longer). I have nothing against Immigration, because my dad was an immigrant, but I do have a problem with the amount of any one country we let in, and the types of people that we let in that contribute to crime and area degradation. It's so sad the slums that have become in Brampton and Malton since we left. I'm glad we got the heck out of there when we did. I feel sorry for all those that are stuck there still. Furthermore with such an influx of immigrants into one area it has driven the house prices and rent through the roof because the pace of immigration was nowhere near the housing starts, and cities think that everyone needs to be packed in like sardines and when you have that many people living in close proximity and you have such expensive living costs it's a disaster waiting to happen and it brings along with it tons of crime and drugs. The Trudeau government really messed up this country and the GTA Cities like Brampton are a shining example of that. It's sick that we pay as much as we do for government at all levels that are this idiotic. It's time we protested in the street and made the government at all levels fear the public again or it's never going to change.

Listen as a minority person who is proud of my heritage but grew up here with immigrant parents who were given refuge in Canada, I can understand immigration. But...its getting out of hand, most of them are from India, most of them have homes in India and often return there for long vacations, These are not refugees or a diverse spread of peoples coming here. I am not hateful in any way but sometimes you have to tell it like it is, A lot of these people are not adapting to the culture here, why? Because most of them are grown already and are used to their own customs, with an ever increasing population now living here they don't really feel the need to learn or adapt because there are less regular Canadians. When I was in school it was already pretty multi-cultural and diverse although yes in my area there are less asians and black people, we had a lot of European(Serbian/Romanian) in particular. Now I go to the store and it's like 80% brown/Indian people lol, even my neighbors, most have moved out and more indian families are moving in. My city is expanding into like a mini Toronto when we can't even handle it, people cant even find jobs, people need all this other stuff, Its just too many all at once, crime rates have gone up over the last few years, this doesn't help anyone, immigrants either.

I'm an immigrant (came to Canada 40 yrs ago) but I also feel there's far too many immigrants here...this has caused rents/house prices to needlessly skyrocket and now we're unable to buy our own house or condo though we could've afforded it if not for opening the immigration floodgates. \n\nSince we missed the boat on buying our own property, we're now stuck renting from rotten landlords who make too much noise at night and have no respect for tenants and keep demanding higher rents...I'm hoping to rent a house in the future...or maybe have to move to another city or province that's more affordable...GTA has gone down the hole. Funny thing is that the new immigrants are suffering a lot too for the same reasons...some are leaving.

Obviously peoples feel like minority in 1975 it was more fun people's watching because the city has multi cultural and there was more white now there so many Asian & Indian people's no white Vanilla it get really boring and white people's are more friendlier and not cheap you always invite out for a beers LOL ??????!!

This is every city in Canada now. The only difference in BC is that the homeless on the street are white and native Canadians. So progressive.

I'm Australian and a few months back had a debate with a Canadian on reddit who visited Australia and remarked how shocked he was at how ethnically segregated Australia is and was preaching about how in Canada everyone mixes and that Australia should learn from Canada how to integrate immigrants. Well as someone who did a working holiday in Canada he was spouting bs, you have cities like Surrey, Richmond, Burnaby, Brampton and Markham that have become mini India and Chinas in Canada. Australia might have neighbourhoods that are segregated but we sure as hell don't have cities with 300k+ people that cater to one ethnicity. I love Canadians don't get me wrong but a lot of you really need to stop with this holier than thou attitude thinking your poo don't stink.

We are talking about only about one city in the bigger picture. Of course, we all adapting canadian culture , but I would blame politicians. They should have some benefit from that otherwise why would they bring so many immigrants ?

Worst city in Canada by a long shot. You couldn't pay my mortgage to move there.

$5.18 for 2L of milk, and it's $2.79/gallon across the border in Michigan, for your choice of skim, 1%, 2%, or whole milk. That's under 74 cents per liter, instead $2.59/liter. That Canadian milk better be free-range organic wagyu milk to justify it costing over 3.5 times as much as Canadian milk. When I visited relatives in Michigan's upper peninsula, there were days you just didn't want to go into town to buy gas. Canadian cars were lined up at every gas station in the city on payday to but cheap American gas. And that's with Americans complaining about how high gas was. Premium Gasoline is $6.19/gallon for regular and $7.27/gallon in Ontario, and $3.62/gallon average in Michigan, 8 cents less than the national average. That's $7.24 for 2 gallons of gas. No wonder so many Canadians were crossing the border to fill their tanks. If you're buying 20 gallons at a time, that's $123.80 - $145.40 in Canada vs. $72.40 here. And a lot of them were buying 25 gallons of gas, sometimes more when they filled up their gas cans.

The cities in MB are looking the same, with every business owned, operated and staffed by Indians. I don't understand how many Indians can afford to buy franchises, yet old-stock Canadians can't. Why is that? ??

They are flooding other smaller cities in Ontario such as Cambridge. In my subdivision the new homes are occupied by Indians from India yet our kids can not afford a tent! Insane!

I left Surrey (BC) after 35 years and it’s just as bad, not the same city I grew up in.

I can go all day and not hear English spoken/ or go to the store and I am the only white Canadian in the place.\nNot many of 'us' left.\n Diversification?\n No. And cities like Kitchener had better wake up. Cambridge is going fast. Housing folks. Anywhere/ Everywhere. Not racist, just a fact.\nThanks, Justin.

Were transitioning from OH CANADA to NO CANADA. We know how its happening. How can we stop it. Is it to late? Not just Brampton. Calgary, Edmonton and other cities with Indian mayors. This great country going down the toilet right before our eyes. I'm 7th generation CANADIAN. I have lost all hope for this country and want to leave. What the ____ happened. We need to take lesson from Denmark. Can't even watch the vid.

Way to go TRUDEAU...its not just Brampton...\nIts every CITY in CANADA being taken over by these people...crazy\nLook at the gangs,,, Taxi's , Corner store , Tims, McDonalds its all little INDIA now...\nTHANKS TRUDEAU FOR DESTROYING WHAT CANADA WAS....now its every city taken over!!!!

This is not just Brampton, it’s spreading from city to city throughout Canada. White flight is in full effect and every single time 1 person moves, like 5 foreigners take their spot.

Would not go within a 100 miles of Toronto area. Would not go to any Canada city or even Canada. Dildeau has destroyed it

Brampton is like all Canadian cities!!!

im conservative and i like the system to run on Canadian family traditions, i also feel like a stranger in my own city

Coming soon to all Canadian city that are close to you!!!!

In st.john's Newfoundland it is getting bad too. This is a problem happening in every canadian city it seems wtf...

I grew up in Brampton, a city that was once beautiful is now unrecognizable. Immigration has definitely played a role in this.

Not only Brampton, all the big city in Canada is over run by Indian and Punjabi … Canada is new India far from real India . Thanks to turdo

Growing up in Brampton most of my life and now being able to travel for work I say let them have it. Brampton is over priced and over crowded. High crime rate. No night life. Only a handful of choices for cuisine. Canada is an enormous country and the real shame is not being able to move to another city as easy as it should be when a good for nothing one gets invaded the way Brampton has. I’m currently out in Woodstock and all the new houses in the north of the city is ALL Indians. On any nice day you’d think the neighborhood park is little India with all the aunties and uncles at the benches. The damage is done, this country’s immigration system needs a complete overhaul.

The whole country is turning into a Brampton. You hardly saw these people in my city in the past, but now you see them everywhere. It's just sad what's happening to this country. Thank you so much Harrison for making this video. You are doing a great job.

Canadiens need to wake up,this is how enclaves start, this city will never feel Canadian again it's done... coming from an immigrant who learned french and english and adapted.

A country larger than the us with a population a little larger than the city of Mexico you got room but i would be selective of who i let in, i would rather have Indian then african/middle eastern any day.

Im from Portugal ?? which is a much smaller and poorer country than Canada obviously, but even here we also have the same problem. Our capital city basically looks like a south asian colony nowadays, you have higher chances of hearing languages from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh or Nepal in the streets than portuguese

Another 10-20 yrs every city in Canada will look like this.

I’m from Calgary and back in the 90’s when I was growing up in NE Calgary I first heard this term. There’s 3 parts to this city, urban, suburban and turbin. It’s only gone down hill from then brand new houses and the neighbourhood looks third world. I refuse to do work in that area. I grew up with them and learned a lot about them.

Amazing how Trudope pushes diversity, yet Brampton is anything but diverse. That place has become a mono cultural cesspool. Terrible.\nI do have great respect for the Indian culture, its history and great people, but I personally would never choose to live in a town or city that is inundated with one specific culture, no matter the culture or ethnicity.

After successfully destroying shoppers world and bramalea city centre, now they are pouring in with thier smelly B/O into square one...please leave at least one of the malls clean...they are so loud...
