Wait what? I thought it was only white, far right wing extremists who were against mass immigration? \nI guess the media has been lying to me.

I lived under a dictatorship growing up, and you tube censorship brought me back to those days when people were imprisoned for their words and thoughts.\nI would like to express an opinion but they told me to shut up or else.

Gave the Guy the thumbs ? up 4 his Answer.. well Spoken. \n\nHowever the problem he has is this . The Palestinians have Hamas & as long as these Scum Bags exist there will never ever be piece in the Region in Gaza . \n\nCan't have another Disaster like The 7th of October again . \n\nI would like 2 hear this Guys thoughts on Hamas . The Question wasn't asked \nMmmmmmm Why ?

I thought it is too late.

In the past 5 years Canada's standard of living sank so low and is approaching that of India. it has become clear now that Canada\n is not really the cash cow that most immigrants once thought it was !

Please come to Pickering. Would love to give my thoughts

Wait a minute, I thought Torontonians are so friendly, lovely, and wonderfully diverse and multicultural? What's going on here with existing immigrants telling new immigrants to GTFO? Someone explain, please.

Maybe he thought Sh***t it’s a trap, that’s the way they gonna kill me

I thought native Canadians are the native Americans.

Is that JT? I really thought it's a ?

Someone needs to tell these Islamists right to their face. He is right, and this is not a harassment, this is a share of thoughts. Civilized world stands with Israel ??

When I landed at the airport, I thought, the plane got diverted to New Delhi, you goto Walmart, Target, and Staples, and every single employee is Indian, and yeah some Idiots driving across parking lot lanes driving Fancy Luxury cars are Indian

OMG, all the time I thought these are campers. I guess I can't distinguish one from the other since never been a camper

Worst possible timing, too many people coming , where is the housing, no smarts there,?? Billions cast to the questionable programs , while people sleep in vans, cars and the street, Who is the PM, perhaps he thought anniahlating our cultural integrity, too many too fast. Must be over my head !

Never comment on someone's weight. I have had several people from other cultures think that is OK. Also, never ever ask or assume a woman is pregnant. Even if you are helping her deliver the baby never mention it. I was a little bloated once and a new Canadian thought it was sweet to mention that it is exciting to see my little baby bump showing. Huge mistake in Canada, huge. Other cultures think these comments are fine, in Canada it is very rude.

I thought people in Canada were nice?

This international student thing has always been a popular pathway to PR status in Canada .\nThe government actually did promote it thought it a good idea to have young people after finishing their education to stay in Canada .\nIt was not a promise and not all would be excepted though \nObviously the policy was good for the schools but the government never considered the impact on Canadians cause they couldn’t care less .\nThe constant lie has always been Canada has too many jobs and not enough workers.\nThe recent 30 billion hand out to foreign automakers to set up EV factories proved what a lie that was when the government was willing to spend 3 million dollars to create one low skilled factory job obviously hard up for jobs .\nThere are videos on the net showing line ups of hundreds of people to try and get a job in a grocery store stacking shelves.\nTrudeau has destroyed Canada and most likely he will be gone but don’t expect the conservatives to be any different.\nPee Pee has never said he would slam the door shut in fact his only criticism of the Libs immigration policy was that it was taking too long to get people into Canada .\nCanadians are stupid they always vote in governments that screw them over time after time on all levels of government.\nThere is a party that would slam the door shut but they only got 2% of the vote in the last election.\nSo 98% of Canadians are stupid and they really deserve the country they have created for themselves.\nThis just didn’t happen recently it has been going on for years seriously where did Canadians think we were going to put all these people ?

There IS NOT a lack of housing in canada , there IS ONLY an affordability problem along with far too much immigration by volume and time frame . Our services and infrastructure (ie; transit services , health care , employment , realisticly affordable housing , finances , etc .) are no where near adequate to accomodate canadians even before the over populating of foreigners . They have been coming here and buying up all the affordable housing during , and post pandemic , with offers far above listed or fair market values , to push owners to sell without question or thought . Following this they stack multiples into these homes illegally and against code , to be able to take up all employment at wages that canadians can't survive on ,forcing them out of employment , homes or both . Once stable and trained to know that business operation , one of their people buy the business and no longer hire any canadians . YES ! TRUE FACT!! How is this accepted ? This is something we could never get away with anywhere .... Selling your country , one property at a time , is only absolute lunacy . They pay top dollar and care nothing about the money , because being that they own most of the businesses , they will get it all back from you within about a years time by raising prices ultimately to do so . Why we have been so run into a crisis within a silent war , is far of that beyond me as we should b lead by our suposed intelligence . There is only right now to react , and correct on this !! We want our home back as it was !!! Oh , and a leader is defined by one who leads , not one who experiments at the expense of our lives !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is so sad.........ndp/lib gov has been the problem.\nNo thought process......Just greed.

We need to stop being ashamed of NOT wanting a cultural change. I'm not hiding my thoughts any longer, yes they are taking jobs, yes they are lower wages, yes they are creating housing problems but what really concerns me is the cultural change. I'm Canadian, not East Indian or a muslim and I don't want their customs or culture in MY country. PERIOD.

As an Norwegian i hate to se whats happening to Canada. I always thought about you people as beeing like americans, just as free, but polite and peacefull..

If that guy is the future of policing in Canada we are in bigger trouble than we thought????

I thought they lived in a prison? To me that means you are stuck in a place you want to leave but can’t. He sats they don’t want to leave… which is it?

Ever thought of telling your fellow mkuslim brothers to not to do terrorist attacks?

The reporter thought she was smart and that she could demolish the Saudi minister by asking that what she would dream to a tricky question

Disgusting...a muslin area???!!!!! I thought it was Birmingham....who do they think they are???? Deport...!!!!!!! Islam should be banned!!!

And it's also causing people that don't need to seek asylum to come here and still seek it because they know they get a free pass.\n I've literally met a guy. His name is da woud He's from Lebanon, he's not an asylum seeker.He is extremely wealthy And he was before he came here.He thought because we are both immigrants Me being Second generation him.Being first that I would just be okay with him.Doing what he did?He's worth millions of dollars in his home country and came here and is collecting money from the government under the guise of him.Being an asylum seeker and sends a lot of that money back to his home country , which has allowed his family to move to other countries where he then invests in more businesses Using his family as proxies. Like this isn't a guy that was struggling Or in any immediate danger This is a guy who is worth millions of dollars who can't hear under the guise of being in danger And now owns multiple properties in canada which he overcharges for

Instead of blaming the Indian immigrants there... complain to your own president, he knows the majority of vote comes from Indians... and hence the current condition of your country... your president itself is corrupt...\n\nNow you may think, that we Indians should be thoughtful and responsible enough to do the right thing.. but then again... they are Indians... a majority of them are there just for living the American dream, although its Canada... but that works too for them... and obviously the white girls.... Indians still have petty mentality... it's like expecting beggars to work... as long the beggar gets what he needs without moving an ounce of lassi ( in his/her stomach ) , that beggar will choose to be a beggar.... ( unless he/she is exceptionally talented or educated in that case he won't be a beggar in the first place , and will definitely respect the culture and people wherever he happens to be.... )

I thought it was gonna be like the joe pesi in Goodfellas with the rank promotion to a made man in the mafia

Ive thought of leaving here too after 37 yrs! Sad i know

no forward thoughts to where to place immigrants. very poor planning

Going from LA to Canada is foolish when FL is an option. LA is a warzone and CA is a failed state. Pick your mini country in the states thoughtfully and you’ll get the most out of the states.

It’s so interesting that Americans and Europeans hate immigrants and refugees with all of their might, but when they see Palestinians trying so hard to stay in their own land, their first thought is, “Well, why don’t they just go somewhere else? Duh?”

I drove by today out of curiosity. About 12 people sitting under a tarp huddled to keep warm. One was eating something and another had a what looked like a box of opened crackers beside him. I thought this was a hunger strike?. Not another person around except me. \nAnd protesting for something that they have no rights for.

I thought I clicked on an Aussie article for a second

My man pulled an uno reverse card\n\nBro thought he was slick

he was lucky i was not there , he is thought against a women , he would not talk to me like that i promise , he would learn the respect the hard way

This is so interesting. I'm lucky enough to be a Singaporean and just a slightly above-average professional, I contemplated applying for Canadian PR as PR seemed achievable and I wanted a change of environment. But in 2018, I did a research trip to Vancouver and Toronto to scout out the place and talk to friends living there, and realised just from a few anecdotes that with the comparatively higher income taxes, lower salaries and higher housing prices (compared to subsidised public housing in SG, private housing in SG is still out of my reach) that I really was better off where I am. Not to mention the stagnating and less diverse economy, un-progressive tax system would penalise a single working female like me. I thought it would afford a better quality of life for young families due to the maternity leave policy - not sure if I was on the mark for that

I thought the man in the middle , couldn’t walk\nUnaided

The majority of Canadian youth is absolutely brainwashed into this left leaning super progressive train of thought ... The future is scary

I thought there is more Koreans in Canada

Problem with Canada's immigration system is its point based. And those points are based on quantity over quality. Eg, if person A has a PhD from some crappy university and Person B from Harvard, they are both treated equally. Also if person C is more qualified with years of experience at the top firms of the world but only has a bachelors degree, person A will still be preferred over him cause of the extra PhD regardless of the quality of the PhD or person C's work.\n\nIt was stupid from the beginning and now its clearly resulted in negative effect to the country. If you keep a high bar to entry, only quality people will be able to apply at limited quantity but somehow your leaders thought of doing the opposite.

Very thoughtful video and reminders why I’m not going back.

You are doing a great job , to bring this issue in the forefront , keep at it , because the are coming , the are not going to stop , it is for u to control the numbers and how on earth people migrate to a English speaking country , without speaking English , the immigration systems needs a relook , my thoughts

Canada has heen cheating the ecinomy with housing, immigration... Selling houses for immigrants investment into canada... This is a poor strategy. That is short term. 10 years ago this country was better. 20 years ago it was even better. Its goung diwn hill faster than I thought

Yeah, thought so…can’t blaim him really.

Go back 150 years ago the natives felt the same way, their lands were mined, forests plundered rights taken away … the proceeds of the spoils were dived with the “ the brethren “ under the guise of liberty and freedom for all… a new foreign law on the land, was forced upon the original inhabitants thru the barrel of the gun…spare a thought for the indigenous peoples as well …just a thought for the many that suffered and the perils living in their own country ?

More tabloid drama based on flexible facts that are suspect at best. I thought CNN put fictional drama out there until I came upon Wion

I thought of becoming a rasta and smoking a lot of zaza but religious freedom doesn't work like that

Oh , I thought migrating to Canada was like entering heaven or something.
