I've noticed all these indians are starting to own all the business here in kelowna. And this has happened in the last 4 years.

I think it’s just the normal thing, questions are asked in every port of entry, I came into Canada about a week ago and was asked exactly same questions in Toronto airport all you need is have all your documents handy and be bold in answering all the questions you are asked and be genuine. There is no need being afraid once you are sure of the purpose of your trip then you are good. I’ve been to several countries and it’s almost same questions at every port of entry. God help us.

if I’m a canadian i would’ve just revolt

This guy should ask his gov to make mends with the Palestinians for what they've done to them since the turn of the 20th century

Why not ask the people of Gaza if they would like the Saudi arabians to invite them in and assist them? Most Gazans were born in Gaza and do not have a warm feeling about the place. Why not get a new start. Under Hamas, Gaza has been a hell hole of their own making. They've eceived billions of dollars and spent them on rockets, guns, and tunnels. The minister was just dodging the question.

okay. you've got a white guy doing a bit on demographics in brampton. separates 'indian' from 'punjabi' and sikh' and then throws in 'hindu' and 'pakistani. maybe go look those terms up before you put them on the same histogram (ONE person can actually identify as a few of those things simultaneously - and one of those terms is a RELIGION whereas some of them are GEOGRAPHIC and others are CULTURES. \n\nfor your next clip are you going to talk about markham having ASIAN, CHINESE, KOREAN, PACIFIC ISLANDER, PINAY, CHristian, Catholic and Japenese etc and not being able to figure out the differences lol.

I’ve lived in Brampton 30 years I’m moving out !

The dilemma: how do you take the village out of the people after you've taken the people out of the village ?

I've just stumbled across this post. The points of view on both sides are fascinating. May I remind you all that population flow across continents has been taking place worldwide for a thousand years and will continue for another thousand. May I also remind you that our ancestors were all from somewhere else, Both you & Me.

I feel like a slave in a country I’ve lived in for 44 years. So disappointed. 2025 can’t come soon enough.

I used to think the South Asians are nice peace-loving people but fast forward to 2024, I think they are one the most racist group of people. Coming from the world's biggest democratic country, literally nothing they do is democratic. We've all been scammed.

The Canadian government and its policies are one of the mose laziest I've ever seen. Canada has lost its shine.

Since 2016, many International Students started coming to Canada and they moved to Brampton in particular so they wouldn't have to assimilate into Canadian way of life. I'm a Punjabi kid born and raised in Canada, who grew up in Brampton. Brampton has gone to the shits post 2017/2018 when all these International Students invaded Brampton. The older Punjabi families are moving out of Brampton and are moving to other towns, while some of them rent out their old homes in Brampton to International Students. Old Punjabis are suffering from this the most, maybe you should've interviewed Canadian born Punjabis or Punjabis who have been in Canada for dozens of years instead of interviewing some new comers and a couple crackheads. Not only are these new International Students fucking up the neighbourhoods we've been living in, they've ruined our reputation that our parent's/grandparent's generation worked their ass off to establish in Canada. Maybe Trudeau or whoever the fuck is in charge, should raise their standards of what kind of International Students can enter Canada and have a more difficult English proficiency test. Canada wants Internation Student money, but at what cost? They let in a bunch of buffoons who have no respect to the Canadian way of life.\n\nThat being said, you kind of showed a biased perspective, you interviewed a bunch of crackheads in downtown Brampton. The Sikh Gurdwara you showed actually feeds 100s of homeless people everyday. Gurdwaras all over Canada are contributing more to society than any other religious establishment including Churches. Sikh Gurdwaras give free food to anyone who visits the temple, even during corona virus they would give out packages of free food. I've seen many homeless people getting their food packed from Gurdwaras.

Argh, I've thinking for years to move from Morocco to Canada... I guess I am better being poor here than poor there.

lol 3 million people don't skyrocket an entire country's real estate market, what are you even on about. You've got international corporations buying up your real estate and you're worried about some broke Indian kid renting a studio.

International students are allowed to work part time for 20 hours/week. If we are allowed to work legally what’s the purpose of stating that the jobs should be reserved for ‘Canadians’ only. Education is a big market in Canada and Canadian government is making good amount of money from International students. International students pay 2-3 times more for education than Canadian students. You don’t mention this in your videos. If you’re not bias talk on both sides of the picture. The problem lies with the Government that they allowed so many immigrants to enter this country and thus this became a problem. You’ve not done any in depth research about International students and how much fees they pay. We also have to pay GIC in the bank work $10000 to sustain if we don’t get a job here. We are prepared if we don’t have a job but if we are legally allowed to work part time 20 hours/week, why shall we not do that?? Please reply to this question logically

Dont like our laws then f@ck off back home and live by your laws we gave you an inch and you've taken a mile.

To be fair, in the first few seconds...I've seen communities in various countries that look Canadian/American or European, and that's not where the country was.\n\nYou can find pockets of people gathering together, hear a lot of English, find a lot of restaurants and products in stores that those people know and are comfortable with.\n\nIt's not just pockets in Canada or Britain...it goes both ways. Historically and now.

Wow, did you just graduate from Conservative Capitalism Apologist School? Very prestigious! I'm impressed. Clearly, you've impressed at least 4.2 k and intrigued 191 k to watch. \n\nToo bad you are missing the root problem: Capitalism is unsustainable. Private control over the means of production for endless profit growth is not sustainable and does not lead to justice and well-being for all. Canada is suffering late stage capitalism just like USA, but if USA has more 'productivity' that doesn't equate to health and well-being. US produces a lot of weapons to sell to genocidal states like Israel, so that doesn't really count as 'good productivity', now does it? \n\nMaybe you could do a little more research, maybe learn from academics like Jason Hickel (Less is More), Richard Wolff (The Sickness is the System and Economic Update) and Kate Raworth (Doughnut Economics).

Having traveled a fair bit; I've found Canadians to be some of the most simplistic, narrow minded people I have ever met. Many of them seem to lack basic critical thinking skills and have a lot of trouble forming their own opinions.

It’s crazy the way people forget that Canada doesn’t end at the end of Quebec. I hate to break it to you, but there are still affordable places to live in this country, They’re just mostly not in the urban centres of Ontario, Quebec, BC or Alberta. If you actually choose to acknowledge the existence of the other six provinces, you can have a pretty good life in this country! with that being said, I also have a good friend who’s making $100k a year fresh out of university in downtown Calgary. Everyone saying salaries are too low, there are no opportunities in this country, I’m curious to know what opportunities we’ve actually lost? Just because they aren’t being afforded to you doesn’t mean they don’t exist, maybe this should spur some self-reflection. You do have to work hard to succeed after all! \n\nLife is hard, always has been. If you actually talk to your parents instead of trusting what others on the internet say, who also weren’t alive during that time, you might realize that things really aren’t that different now. Despite what the internet will tell you, a minimum wage job was not enough to afford a house and a car 40 years ago. Shockingly, a minimum wage job doesn’t pay enough to get you a house and a car now either! Crazy how that works

I've wanted to move to Canada since my childhood. The first time I tried was when I was 22 years old; I received a scholarship for Humber College. Unfortunately, my dream was postponed because I broke my leg. I attempted again at 25 years old, but I didn't have enough money for a comfortable immigration process. So, I decided to accumulate more funds and try again.\n\nNow, at 30 years old, I find myself in a different situation. I've just bought a big house, and I'm living a simple, calm life in Eastern Europe. Here, I have everything I need: a safe environment, the freedom to travel wherever I want, and minimal taxes in my industry. Healthcare is excellent, with no waiting times, and the food is amazing.\n\nDespite these comforts, I still have the opportunity to move to Canada. But I find myself questioning why I was so obsessed with it since childhood. I realize that I earn more in my home country than the average Canadian, even after taxes and rent. Perhaps Canada nowadays is more appealing to individuals from India, the Middle East, and Africa. If I were from these regions, I might still consider moving there. However, moving from Europe to Canada seems like the biggest mistake I could make right now. \n\nCons of Canada: 1) Misconception about communism. 2) High taxes, up to 50% in some cases. 3) Expensive rents(we all know u won't be able to buy anything decent there. 4) Perception of social conformity among Canadians, where sensitive topics may not be openly discussed for fear of judgment. 5) Disparity between the country's overall wealth and the financial struggles faced by some citizens.\n\nPros of Canada: well, I didn't find anything I could not find in other countries developed countries.

Came to Canada as an international student during covid. Coming from a 3rd world country, I've been sold the Canadian dream and it turned out tio be a nightmare. The worst college experience ever.

Haha ... yep we've had enough.

From a FRENCHMAN\nWe all complain about immigrants coming but there are 2 things we forget: 1. As long as we Europeans keep putting people that we’ve our interests down there, those countries will be deteriorating and people will keep coming up here in Europe or even in the US for Central Americans! 2. Let’s say we kick the butt of our migrants back to where they are from… well… we can do that for sure… but who cleans our office, who does the tough jobs for us while not complaining about lower pays and tougher conditions? Who build our stupid buildings here in Europe or even in America?? Who???? And who clean our toilets? If you guys want to kick immigrants, feel free to do so, but beforehand, tell your sons and your daughters to take onto those immigrant jobs! Tell our European and American or even Canadian kids to do those lousy jobs! With the spoiled way we raised them, how many would be candidate??? All of our kids all want to be “big boss” and earn 80k or 130k per year!!! Let those 49k jobs be for legal brown, black and yellow immigrants and let those fruit picking and construction work be for barely legal immigrants… \nThis is why I am leaving Canada soon as I am fed up with this hypocrit and superficial culture that is obsessed with money and where u gotta work work work and get everything you saved to ou taxes!! Fed up with the lousy and inefficient Canadian healthcare and transportation system (Europe has a much better one for sure). Plus who wants to end up lonely smoking weed in this lonely and depressed country anyway???

I can tell you why I'm leaving...mainly for a far better life. This country ain't worth the effort. Housing and taxes are ridiculous and the economy is failing, besides our dollar having no buying power. I reject enslavement because I've worked hard enough to live in a country where housing is 1/3 the cost, food is affordable and high quality, great weather, great social life, and much more fulfilling overall. I don't know why anyone would buy into the lie of a Canadian dream...that ship sailed way back! ?

I won't complain about the status quo because I've seen it happening all along. If you think you're vote counts I feel for you. One life to live and I wont wait in a shithole just to see what happens over the next 10 years...all hopes are gone here. The beauty of this life is you aren't tied down especially with so many great countries to live in..why settle for garbage.

I've lived in Canada my whole life and I've never been hurting so bad. Example... I got my auto renewal and it more than doubled! $300/month for a Honda CRV!! I've got air tags on it, a club on the steering wheel and it's parked in my garage as I work from home. Unbelievable!!

Most of these problems started within the last 20 years. Healthcare used to be good. Now you have to seriously advocate for your elderly relatives for them to get even basic care in a hospital. I’ve been waiting to see neurologist for over a year. No big deal, it’s only my brain. ?

The French Canadian in Quebec is declining big time in population.. I assume he's frustrated with the illegal immigration. And they don't speak a word of French either. And they won't try to speak any French. The English in Quebec are snobs. And they think they're better. They can always move to Ontario or the other english speaking provinces. Quebec is a french-speaking province and it should stay that way.. I've been there and I love the place...

You facts are way off to the point of being misleading. Then average cost of a home in the GTA is $1.2 million and by law you need a 20-25% down payment. Even if you're lucky to get that $800k home you need a 15% down payment of 15% so that's $120k! Incomes here suck you need over $250k to qualify for a mortgage...who earns that? My circle is lawyers, entrepreneurs, engineers and only 2 income professionals can get that. Over the last 10 years Canada has become very anti families and anti heterosexual so most people are single. It's also become super anti social. I've lived and traveled all over and everyone I know is making plans to go back to their home countries, countries of parentage or the US or Mexico. This place is a money sucking trap filled with identity politics, High crime, bad attitudes,bad weather and no social life

Yes very real, I've watched documentary on that before

In my experience, the only ppl I’ve ever known to say they would to move to America are far-right Canadians and/or the intense conspiracy theorists

He's a Sikh in USA..if he was so proud of his Punjabi culture, he should've stayed in India (like the rest of us)..if youre going to lick white boots for money, the least you can do is be a happy slave ??

I’ve given up on Canada, but I’ve also taken my life into my own hands by leaving Canada. Canada is a place that stifles innovation and punishes those that want to have a lucrative career. \n\nI no longer proud to be Canadian, nor do I wish to associate myself with that despair-ridden place.

Pobre hombre, tenemos que perdonarlo porque se ve que no está bien de la cabeza. No sabe de lo que habla.

Bruh why blame Muslims we've done nothing wrong were only a religion plz don't say we are terrorists for wearing a scarf don't say that plz

If they've got nothing to reply with they use the racism word

I’ll tell you,if there was a real man in the crowd, there is no way that man would’ve got away speaking to those women like that.

This guy is typical of a proportion of British society who’ve spent their lives being misinformed by Zionist controlled media companies.

There's too many conflicting narratives. One says we're 40m people. Another says we've had net loss of 40k-70k people ever since the 1980s. StatCan might've been tracking the inflow of immigrants but not the outflow. Mexicans have been found frozen to death in the southern woods of Ontario. They number in the hundreds of not thousands. Why isn't CBC covering this stuff?

I’m jobless now because I can’t work night shifts I’ve tried day time job ,but I can’t find any because there are not more

We've seen this in Montréal, Parc-Extension was like a small Greece but then, the next generation move out to Laval and elsewhere. In 20 years, it might not even be Indian anymore...

I’ve lived in my home for 41 years \nI have been trying to move for 2 years because of these disgusting unwashed animals\nI’m going to end up in jail for life if I don’t leave here.\nI’m at the very end of my rope.\nI can’t even say what I really feel cause they are a protected class. \nHilarious how they refer to themselves as a minority.

Also Palestinians have a history of destabilizing countries a significant number of them go to. I've seen little evidence in my lifetime the Palestinians want peace.

“Muslim traitors” history shows who the actual backstabbing traitors were. Muslims throughout history have always fought for the oppressed including J€$ but then get backstabbed by the very people we’ve helped.

This is Post Brexit Britain in a nutshell, salty hatful xenophobe giving it the large one still clinging onto the delusional notion that it’s still a colonial empirical superpower instead of flaccid and clinging onto what it perceives as former glory days….ignoring the fact said glory days were dark days of tyranny inflicted on nations globally …but they’ve selective historical amnesia for that too

Travels all the way to canada just to deliver food and get berated by foreigners. Could’ve used all that money to start a business here instead.

I've been homeless before in Canada. It is tough. Hide yourself and all your belongings because next moment they will be gone. Thankfully, they have good welfare here.

When the immigrants are complaining about to many new immigrants, you know you’ve got a serious fucking problem!
