There’s a reason why every country in the EU is called a state. Germany is a state. France is a state. You don’t need your passports to travel between these states. Just like the US, you don’t need a passport to travel between states. Only difference is in the EU, states have different languages. Some have different currencies. But the majority use euros.

I am a Canadian and I have seen the sharp decline of Canada over the past decade which makes me very sad. According to many 'experts' they paint a dire picture of the nations future as the rate of inflation spirals out of control and we are buried beneath a mountain of debt. On the ground level, homelessness is an epidemic that the powers that should not be seem to want to sweep under the rug, while they race bait and spout off about woke ideology. They are more worried about transgender rights and castrating children while with anyone with eyes to see are witnessing the very breakdown of their society around them, people are dying in the streets from fentanyl overdose. My wife volunteered at our old church which catored to the homeless and I have known many that are no longer with us, nobody wants to acknowledge it because they do not want to face the fact that they are fellow human beings. In the end no one is better than any one else, it is all vanity.?\nIt would seem like we are run by lunatics with severe cognitive dissonance by the fact that we have mass immigration while are own \npopulation is suffering, I admit that mental health and addictions are potent variables that constitute the crisis, I am not niave to those facts. I myself have had long term Sobriety. But it is odd that only a decade ago, homelessness /addiction were problems confined to major cities like Vancouver and Toronto, and now we have tent cities in almost every town with a population of more than 20 thousand people. It would seem like utter stupidity to keep pouring water into a bucket that is overflowing. I suspect that their is an agenda and the destruction of our nation is a part of it, it is a well known fact that the Trudeau government is in bed with Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum. I don't care if you call me a racist, that is a luxury for those who live in gated communities, who create the problem and want to muddy the waters. These elites like to accuse others of what they are guilty of, they are anti human bigots, eugenicists who are ideologically captured, any one who bandies the around words like racist and homophobia, Islamophobia etc. are either those operating with an agenda or a useful idiot.

I'm a born and raised Canadian, and jobs that I was previously able to live off of 2 years ago I am now on the brink of homelessness every single month of rent. Working those same jobs everyday in the lowest rent apartment I can find. I do 10 hour shifts most days retail and spending more than 50 dollars a month on food bounces my rent and negatives my account which makes me pay more fees on top of it. I cant afford a car, or anything for transportation. The wage I'm making now was the perfect amount for me 2 years ago to live comfortably by my standards. Now I'm going to be a homeless 24 year old Canadian that works their ass off every day and can't seem to find a better paying job regardless of how much I put myself out there... In the last 2 months I have lost a total of 16lbs because I can only eat so much on my budget. I am a hard working Canadian that just wants the luxury of being able to not stress about these things because I work so hard. But that seems to not matter.

I’m from Manitoba Canada and all I see are East Indians and Pakistanis it’s Fucken annoying because they are doing every job here and they only hire other East Indians and Pakistanis

There are billion of them you will find them in every corner of the world, I hope eastern Europe don't let these people live there.

As a fairly liberal Canadian, immigration is the only subject that makes me move to the center-right politically. We don't have the ressources to feed, house and care for 1.5 million new people every year, much less the Canadians already here. Justin Trudeau has been hurting the country with his open door migration policy because he's too scared to lose his brownie points from the far left. Any other politician is too scared to say anything negative and concrete on immigration because it's considered political suicide, but the tide is changing with Canadians. We don't want anymore would be asylum seekers or foreign students working and overstaying their visas because WE CAN'T EVEN TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES ANYMORE. Yes, our birth rates are too low and we need some immigration to help close the population decline gap that will eventually come, but it can't be a free for all. We can barely afford rent, groceries, healthcare, etc. now and I fear it will only get worse in the coming years. At this point, as an early 30 something year old, I will never own a home or even be able to move without dishing out 60-80% of my income for rent. None of this is viable long term, we're reaching the point of criticality

Nigeria is not the most corrupt country in the world. Na decorum we lack! Plus context creation. Not every thing you come to the internet to say.. you see Indians speak English for things like this ? Abi you think na only there dialects them understand Abi..

As a Native in a big city stuff is bad, they are not assimilating, actually they are forcing US TO ASSIMILATE TO THEM. They are flexing just how much power they have by discriminating and only hiring or renting their own race, they have inflitrated every level of government and have absoloutely 0 loyalty to our country. As a Native I have never been racist toward before UNTIL these people started showing up, they don’t say thank you, they don’t hold the door open, they just don’t like or respect us.

According to him accept Palestinian every other muslim want to leave and want to go Christian country????

Sometimes we meet Christians in Arab countries, but we don't insult them or persecute them. Every human being is free in his religion . This man represents racism itself . Does Islam worry you to this degree?

Every man should stand for his country like this man. \nSalute to him❤

Trying to tell us what we can do and not do. Maybe if you go to Bahrain that has over 1 million Muslim Arabs every month go there to drink and sleep with prostitutes when that is clearly against Islamic laws. HYPORITS THAT SAY ONE THING AND DO ANOTHER.\nYou do not own the streets and you do not own the people.

This shit is ridiculous, I’ve seen it in real time 90 min outside of Toronto, living in a quiet city as 5 years ago. Now there are traffic jams from 2 pm until 7 pm in the city, and endless traffic when driving 30 km in any direction on the highways. A few weeks ago it took me 5 hours to drive 75 miles. Every single gig economy job is bursting at the seems with people who are useless for any other kinds of work. The scariest thing is no one is going to have the balls to send people back to where they came from. Especially the conservative party. They will bend over faster than a one legged whore when it comes time to do their overlords biddings.

What about generational canadians whove been cheated out of every opportunity???

I'm a citizen since I was 9. It has changed since the 90s for sure growing up. I pass through Barrie every now and then and see tons of Indian kids lol.

I live in Calgary with a spouse and two kids and what most people would consider successful and it is nothing what I would have expected. We are mid 30s with a high household income and still struggle. We are self made (no family help) and between the house, kids, and insanely high living costs (think food, taxes, insurance, transportation...ect) we just get by. We struggle and then I think of the families making the average income and it blows my mind. I don't know how all the parents out there do it. This country is broken. Housing is insane, every industry is dominated by one or two corporations putting the screws to everyone making the cost of living unsustainable, and the government taxes you into the ground...how long can it really last

This man has every right to react and express his view to save their country from illegal migrants.

We're not dealing with a surge in balanced immigration drawing from a balanced global demographic. That's nearly universally agreeable amongst Canadians and it likely will never change because Canadian itself is not an ethnic identity but an identity built around shared values. We are, in real time and in nearly every city across the country, experiencing solely a surge in Punjabi immigration. They tend to congregate into tight communities, stack houses with up to 10-15 people in hardly adequate living conditions, and then disproportionately and even sometimes exclusively hire or provide tenantship to people based on ethnicity. Not admitting that would be wilfully ignoring the obvious. Canada is exceptionally inviting of immigrants, especially when they try to integrate and join the broader Canadian society. This recent surge of immigration has been different. Everyone can feel it. It doesn't feel like people are coming here anymore, as much, to join and enrich the country but instead just to enrich themselves and create completely separate, ethnically segregated groups. I prefer when the boundaries between groups to associate and co-operate are as open and mutually beneficial as possible. My family came here and now we are entirely embedded into Canadian culture and fully identify with the Canadian values.

Trudeau the incompetent narcissistic dictator is to blame. Only building 200,000 houses max, but allowing 1.2 million immigrants in every year under Trudeau. No homes, no jobs and totally destroying health care by allowing seniors in with multiple health issues, too old to work, etc.

??????In Surrey and Delta BC every month one or more Caucasian Canadian families are moving out of this area Churches are empty with few attendance.And bought and replaced by Gurudwara,Temple and Mosque.Canadian becoming minority in their own country.Why??? liberals government open arms immigration policy allowing families with children to come with five and ten years visitors visa in Canada from India I was shocked when I heard that ???Oh Canada ??

Canada is not like 20 years ago. Drugs everywhere, every day people die from Drugs. You should move to my country Singapore. Multi culture multi-racial.

Palestine is not the land of Palestinians only but it is the land of all the muslims of the world. To protect the Palestinian land it is not the duty of Palestinians only but it is the duty of every muslim to take part in its protection by any means he/she is capable off by giving medical assistance, by providing shelters, food, security and so on.

the leader of the opposition that if he gets elected in 2025 and becomes our Prime Minister, then he should keep his promise and clean up this country. I hope that he will keep his promises because every Prime Minister in this country promised everything when they were in the opposition, but once they are elected and they forget every promise and make all kinds of excuses. Let’s hope there is going to be the case in 2025. Let’s hope.

How about you lower taxes, axe the tax and hand out more esentives and allow canadians time to have more children there wouldn't be a problem , deport all these imagrints now and allow canada to become better through its own people,they say we have a housing crisis and want to bring in 500000 imagrints?, and they get put into hotels and get a Government check every month, thanks to us tax payers, but our veterans are living on the streets, disgraceful, help our own before others, shame on you liberals are veterans didn't fight and die in the great wars for this. Shame

The sad part is immigrants came 40to 50 years ago.worked hard.and built this country.these days seniors ate treated badly.Refugees.non immigrats.enjoy our desrved benifits.nothing is free now fir seniors but immigrants newly come enjoy every benifits.rules made by politicians\n.they get everything free.don.t know the pain of older immigrats.the systems should be changed soon.otherwise such a nice and peacefull Canada will go into A Cavos and loose all values soon.Sad.?

All you people complaining....you want to leave Canada....leave....btw...the high cost of housing, gas, food etc is everywhere, in every country.....inflation is a worldwide problem....but do what you gotta do...buh-bye now....

But yet, there are thousands of immigrants moving to Canada so it is just a vicious cycle. Look at Toronto or Vancouver, more immigrants move there every day.

TRUDEAU AND HIS CRIMINAL GOVERNMENT \nBROKE THIS COUNTRY FROM EVERY ANGLE

what is the point of letting in over a million people into canada every year when the people already living here are struggling for even the most basic necessities?

the Canada they dreamed about 20 years ago is not the Canada today. Bad policies, tax hungry government trying to suck every penny they can anyway possible. angry Canadians blame the migrants when the problem actually points towards the system. This never would have happened if our system wasn't broken.

When you're only capable of checking a box every few years, you end up with quitters.

Islam needed this Straight forward Serios Talk..Non Muslims Ex Muslims World Over r Fed up of there Crying Victim N Minority Card All over With Every other Religions where they r lesser in nos initially n then outgrow the majority creating nuisance trouble..Took over Lebanon Persia n so many other nations this same way..Trying To take over India n other nations if we allow n dnt understand there Ghazwa E Hind agenda..Living fr Ummah..Threatening Intimidating Other Religions..issuing/misusing Fatwas Blasphemy laws n even killing Shias Ismaliyas Ahmediyas using the same way..

Problem in every western nation is excessive illegal migrants - but the left is still refusing to see the obvious and losing votes over it.

Every country that pushes growth with mass immigration is doomed to fail. Ai will kill 1.6 billion jobs in the next 3 years its already hitting Banking Warehousing Administration and Retail Shopping. Mass immigration also lowers wages for the majority and raises rents and property prices killing peoples ambition and desire to work hard. Sweden is now a death zone France is on the verge of revolution and the UK is now an utter basket case. The wealthy are getting out of all the wests countries as mass immigration is a net loss with high crime rates and declining services. The countries that will be successful in this age of Ai will be those with small highly educated populations and none of those are in the west.

Every time this guy says “native Canadians” I want to interrupt him and remind him of a few things.

if everyone said this statement about civilians welcoming, every country would refuse immigration.

Immigrant here, brown as well, and a worker in the international educational industry. Pin points why Canada and even immigrants, including international students and temporary works dislike immigrants from Punjab:\n\n- They are rude. They have little to none concept of living in society. They are selfish, they are arrogant, and anyone who works in the serving/retail industry will they are the worst customers ever. \n\n- The level of entitlement is beyond absurd. When the leader of this protests in PEI was told “Canada needs doctors and nurses, not you (the guy graduated from a business program, and works at Tim Hortons still), he responded: “I don’t care what Canada needs, is what I need, for myself”, displaying what a great citizen he’d be.\n\n- They refuse to integrate. They left Punjab to pursue a better life, but they want to live like are still in Punjab. \n\n- They scam their way in. Banks in India will lend them money to come to Canada, they buy their IELTS results. 99.9% of all the students I dealt with who got caught cheating on their exams were from India.\n\n- The people we are receiving in Canada are members of a separatist movement. They have often blocked roads to protest against India, because they want Punjab to be separated from India, and turned into a new country called Khalistan. I highly doubt they would all move there if that actually happened.\n\n- Going back to the entitlement: They often abuse the human rights nature of Canada. They sued the government for the right to ride bikes without helmets, or to not be forced to used safety equipment in construction sites, and for the right to walk around carrying a dagger, because it’s a “religious item”. Canada also for some dumb reason accepts their arranged marriages as a real one. Any person from anywhere in the world has to undergo an invasive scrutiny of their relationship, being forced to provide private conversations, and witness. Punjab people need none of it, and Punjab fathers are selling their daughters to strange men, so the family can move to Canada together.\n\n- Statistics Canada often talk about how our population is aging: However, they do not disclose how many of these aging population is due to Indian nationals bringing their parents and grandparents with them. If we got a million Indian people in the past years, that would mean around extra 4 million people over 50 years old. That’s 10% of the entire population. \n\n- They are scammers. You said yourself: To be eligible for a mortgage , you need to make at least $250k per year. They are landing in Canada with no money, and buying houses right away, because they have a network of people forging financial documents, and the also have people infiltrated in banks to approve these processes. Not me saying, that was national news. \n\n- They are extremely racist. They will openly tell you they only rent/hire/do business with Punjab people. Now, even the buses are driven by Punjab people, is insane. And you can tell they are new comers, because some of them can barely speak English. But is a well-known fact: Once one of them is in, they will make sure to bring in as many of their countrymen as possible, and only them. The DEI department of my company approved a Punjab manager, and now more than half of the staff is Punjab. English is no longer spoken in the hallways. \n\nSo these are just few of the complaints I have about them. I moved to Canada for a better life, and I have fully adapted to this country, and I’m resentful that this government allowed these people to slowly turn Canada into India. I was sold the idea of diversity, and I fell for it. I’m the minority of the minorities. Despite being a full Canadian now, every single day I think more and more of just going home. I’m tired of Canada.

He is spewing lies directly opposite of truth. That is Israel's way. Every accusation is a confession.

In 2030 canada will become next india and you can’t do nothing about it conditions are becoming worse there is no job here and government is planning to invite 500 k more students so you can cry about that maybe just giving your opinion on internet that international students should go you can come to streets and protest about it that we want no more immigration because in the end international students will come every year like only there is only government eho can stop it

? Yeah, the chinese security be suspect for every other security! ?

We’re not building a new Calgary every year but importing more people than the states. Yet they scream that immigration has nothing to do with housing prices and you’re racist if you point out supply and demand.

It's not only Indians with turbans, and every time I see a woman covers in black from the head to toes except the eyes area just disturbing...and sad for these women in a free country but prisoned themselves.\n.

Every country no matter how rich or poor has their undesirables. This Indian student is far above that class!

All people\nAre racist I was pepper sprayed by East Indians and was called a dirty Indian.\nAboriginal and East Indians hate each other here. Vise versa people should get along. Maybe some cultures should put Canadian stickers on their vehicles instead of stickers of a man holding a ak 47. This is all Justin Trudeau problem not fixing countries problems first before inviting new problems. People will feel invaded and this is why every is getting angry no one is use to other cultures as that guy is a nice person others from both cultures can be just as mean and racist. Why film this garbage just to cause more problems. I think social media is a weapon

It's the same everywhere in every Western country. The US is almost as bad. Under Biden, the US national industrial policy is inflation and mass migration, so we get squeezed even harder.

Canada is a multi-cultured nation. Everyone has equal rights. The people you are talking to are all addicts, and they are themselves responsible for their situation. Indians are peace loving people and they welcome every individual no matter which race he belongs. Spread love and live together

WE DON'T NEED a Tim Horton's franchise at every corner. Not only we don't need it, we don't want it. BOYCOTT Tim Hortons everywhere!

It is better to cancel PR and citizenship of everyone who arrived after Justin became PM. Send each and every one of them back.

The government of Canada should develop the suburbs to solve to population which is focused on the capital city of every state and let the suburbs be full of people(immigrants) to keep the balance.

When did the world decide every country should be multi culture ? It hasn`t been encouraged before so why now? And how is it possible to turn up in a country in numbers that defeat any realistic checks being made on arrival or later? When every country, it’s religious beliefs and laws and customs are equally or god forbid entirely over turned by mixed races, faiths and culture. What then? A total shambles. Will it be long before the children from the country’s generations old existence be out begging on the streets. It’s hardly a step forward for a country and it’s people that had to fight wars to protect it`s very existence to ever allow itself to be over run and outnumbered by human maelstrom.
