As an Australian watching this putting the cause of housing affordability and homelessness on immigration is BS. Our country has a major housing crisis and homelessness situation and lack in housing and governments not investing in development is key. If there is further truth to Diana McNally saying the housing development sector in Canada is privatised, that's where one of your issues lies.\n\nMy bottom line: if you think immigration is the cause of lack in housing affordability, go try living in the country those immigrants came from. They have reason to move.

Keep deluding yourself that multiculturalism works Canada

The US should just add Canada and Mexico to its states. It will make border control easier in the future...

I suggest one option of household of three options in Canada, 1- Paying Guest System of building in just like Bangalore to built and give students including Food and Accommodation, 2 - Expand the Canada infrastructure into village in parts of canada and give more people of staying and safely, 3- Expand the all retails and whole distribution of goods and services in online way just like Amazon to expand in Villages of canada.

The Liberals haven’t worked hard enough to solve the problem and Trudeau himself said housing isn’t the Federal Government’s responsibility when it is, not only is it a Federal issue but it’s an issue at all levels of government. Liberals are more interested in the economy, rather than the quality of life for its citizens. Canada is no longer a dream country where immigrants will thrive. It’s only the generational wealthy, real estate developers and foreign investors who thrive.

Good. I am glad they are staying in New York. Texas should drop the migrants off at the Canada border and let them walk in.

The liberal rant Canada needs more people.

Canada is a corporation not a country \nWorkers now are in difficult times , that's all

If these people coming are so poor. How can they afford to make the trips to Canada an the northern border. It's can't be cheap.

Obviously new citizens have hope for Canada. But how about talking to the people that have lived here all their lives and have not fulfilled their own hopes and dreams? See how they feel about everything that's happened in the last ten years.

Enough is enough, let's take care of our own people now and by that I mean the people that actually give AF about Canada

The liberals did this on purpose to gain new tax revenues! For corporations to get cheap labor. For Canadians to leave so canada can be a cheap labor country while making more money for the rich and politicians.

The ruling class is using immigrants as cheap labor. They don't care about their well being nor do they care about that of Canadian citizens. They want to bring in about 550K each year going forward when people are suffering. They don't build nearly enough homes or rental units. We don't have enough doctors and nurses. We get paid West Virginia wages but must pay California level housing costs. Diploma mills have sprung up like crazy charging $40,000 for worthless degrees. There are not enough jobs that pay even minimum wage. As a consequence many who immigrate to Canada leave after a year or two. Those smiling faces you see in this video are of those who are don't yet know the truth!

We are currently in the midst of a housing crisis in Canada, which is being exacerbated by an immigration policy where the border is wide open without any consideration for the lack of housing, hospital beds, schools, etc. The politicians here had better start paying attention, because what is currently happening in the UK is going to start happening everywhere.

I am an immigrant and we came here to live a life that was better than the previously disastrous country we came from, and now these new immigrants are trying to impose the way of life that made their countries disastrous in the first place. If you come to Canada, you live as Canadians do. We are the kindest people on earth so let’s keep it that way!

Well, Canada has a wonderfully diverse culture of people from all around the world. Canada is a desirable place to live. Immigration targets = housing targets for government.

Why can’t there country help them ? Why is Canada and the US always expected to be every other countries saviour ?

Reality is USA don’t care much of the time about Canada it’s kind of hypocritical to ask more just with hydro Quebec that is our natural resources for electricity we send it to the states for way cheaper then we pay it here

Many go to Canada from the USA.

Stop emigration make canada ?? grate again

Generosity? Ask any economic immigrant (being the majority of immigrants in Canada) what they receive free from government during any part of the process. Immigration is very expensive and we pay for everything from begining to end. Don't let anyone fool you, immigrate is a very expensive process that brings a lot of money to Canada.

Because the current government seems to have forgotten about the concept of supply and demand when it comes to existing infrastructure in Canada!!

War with Canada as predicted by South Park.

Won't be \nLong before they are taking a dump on the beach canada tolerant

Canada is selling a dream & he is absolutely right about that

We can't blame immigrants. We have to blame the government who issues Visas. Without Visas they cant entire Canada. Its the incompetent government starting from Sean Fraser, Marc Miller and of course the wrecker in chief who opened the flood gates. Diversity is when you have a mix bag of people, not 8 out of 10 people from just one country.

Consider whether this is a Canada problem or a big city problem, federal or municipal, including all downstream issues. Also consider who uses this issue to drive a populist wedge to win elections.

Canada, the next Syria, or Kabul

The one’s that are crossing are not Mexicans but INDIANS. They’re “international “ student that infiltrated Canada and since they have not to pathway to PR, they’re sneaking into the US.

As the woman foreigner, going to Muslim environment seems like sourced! discrimination is every where And also dangerous. Canada is the most advanced country when it comes to discrimination.

so basically 9/11 could happen in canada…… and nothing would stop them from doing so?!?

This isn’t totally accurate, and comparing Canada to the US is like comparing apples to oranges, a more apt comparison would be Canada and Australia (similar government structure, similar population, similar economy) unlike the us that has 8x our population and is the richest country in the world lol. \n\nThat being said the problems with the Canadian economy are pretty straightforward imo, for housing it’s simple, the Canadian government has invested heavily into the real estate market with things like the Canada pension plan being largely invested into the CPP. There is also a huge amount of people who have banked their retirement on the value of their home, for the most part these are blue collar workers. These two things combined have created a huge problem for the government, it basically has to choose between fixing the worsening housing crisis and in the process wipe out the savings and retirement accounts of millions of Canadians or let the problem get worse and worse until something boils over. This problem is also being compounded by the increasing number of international students being misled into coming here, they are being promised world class education but are receiving bogus diplomas from what are essentially sham colleges (thanks Ford). \n\nWhen looking at the competition in the country it’s a more complicated problem than people like to admit, in order to not become a client state of the US we have to place stronger protections on our industries and media, this insures that Canadian money stays within the Canadian market but has the drawback of discouraging competition. Now if you ask me the solution to this is to nationalize large industries that are being controlled by large oligopolies who unnecessarily manipulate the price of goods like Bell, Rogers, Loblaws, air Canada, petrol Canada, etc. By taking control of these industries the government could have better control of the price of goods and should result in better prices for consumers in turn we’re leaving some of the pressure placed on us by the cost of living crisis. This worked wonders for alcohol which in Ontario brings in 1.5 billion in revenue for the government each year, imagine how much internet, electricity, phone service and produce could bring in.

This is crazy we had a member of the cartel Mexican seeking refugee/asylum in canada ! Let in no problem no vetting!

You can thank the dictator of Canada for this. Trudeau even lets terrorists in and has even said everyone is welcome to come to Canada. He's as bad as your so-called leader letting illegas in. We need them both out of office ASAP, they're ruining our countries.

Jo canada gaya vo vapis nhi jayega. Yeh ek mithi jail h.

Yup ..this all Justin Trudeau fault..he is hands down the biggest problem ..he doesn’t care .. but yet as a Canadian..this is troubling because..it’s effectively causing tension between Canada and the US ..as a born and bred Canadian..the last thing we want is our neighbours to the south..to hate us..this man needs to go..and as Canadians we are fukin fed up..!

Trudeau is shafting the USA. How can they be asylum seekers if they are arriving from Canada a safe western country. All part of “Great Replacement” supported by socialist Canada, UK, EU etc.

Don’t worry New York. When Trump wins they will just walk back across to Canada.

So they slowed the southern boarder just to make it easier in the north..... thank Canada

Under Trump Canada had a huge problem with illegals coming from the US.

What about someone already in canada, can they also apply

I thought all migrants were going to Canada from the US!!???

immigrants abusing immigrants.. this is canada

I came to Canada in 1989, today not even close what use to be, I live in Brampton and some time I am not sure where I live. Sad ?

I think if you can be based in Canada but have access to the USA, maybe business & Travel is the key.

Fuck Canada

Yet an American can go on vacation in Canada without a vaccine card

I'm in favour of them going south but not just dropping into Canada

Wait what?? Russia's invading Canada? ? I guess I've missed the news...

Why leave Canada when they have free health care, no need to work free money from social assistance and even more money if you have kids Canada is welcoming to all foreign prisoners no matter what your crime and the more dishonest you are or smart you can even get even more money from their system. We call that money for nothing. Only reason you would leave Canada is to go to somewhere warm and NY city is not warmer now head on down to Florida, Texas or across to California, especially California where everyone here is just waiting for you to take their jobs can i hear a Amen for that. The Government has us all fooled making us believe there is a shortage in all jobs just so they can keep on bring in more immigrants which makes the wages lower and raise the cost of living especially housing.
