I was really lucky to visit Toronto in 2000-2002 and practice some Portuguese and Italian. The first time, I came by train from Chicago and arrived at 1 AM. I was scared as I waited for the trolley on Dundas St. But to my surprise there was a young lady enjoying the late night and she even talked to me (something that wouldn't happen in Southern CA). I discovered that if was safe to walk until 2 AM in Toronto. It was really pleasant to explore Little Portugal, Chinatown and other neighborhoods. I remember that it hit the 30s with some humidity, but the reward was taking a bus to Niagara Falls at 50% off for being a student. However, I was sad to discover that the old transportation is gone, and prices have skyrocketed (food and hotels). It's not just Covid-19, but the corruption of thousands of politicians in NorthAmerica that have started wars and the flow of drugs and people. I would never think that Canada could change so drastically. But I still think that Toronto could be enjoyable ( what I really didn't like was the subway, since the stations are far away from important sites as opposed to Montréal that is so convenient). I still remember how Pearson airport was enjoyable to walk. But to see encampments like LA, SD or SF in Toronto is really sad. Hopefully, in the near future it gets cleaned up. You can't destroy what took decades to build and admire in a few years. Safety is always a concern in 2024, but Toronto is much better than CA.

How about when your forefathers who came to Canada , killed the Natives , the ones that survived , they put them on reservations, take over their lands forcefully. Now you are complaining when visible minorities come peacefully , work in low paying jobs, ha ha so ironic.

Is India taking over? Lol

Indians are taking over Canada. It’s insane I am in Nova Scotia and wall mart is 90% Indian. Tim Hortons is also 90% Indian. We did not need this much Indians in this country. The same apartment i used to pay for 1300 about 4 years ago is 2500 today. THE SAME EXACT UNIT!!

Muslims need to respect Britain,who do they think they are,none of u Muslims will take over Britain.???

thank you for shedding light on this. its a very real problem here especially the greater toronto area i'm 21 years old and i work full time yet can't afford rent because everywhere affordable only takes indians and crams everyone in like sardines.

Hi, Nosa how are you doing, pls,, since the world cup will take place in US, Canada and Mexico, now I want 2 ask why are hammering only on this two countries, US & Canada, why are people not interested in Mexico? Is Mexico a bad country?

Were leaving because of mass Immigration.. There's no where for REAL canadians to live anymore all you immigrants take take take. Canadians are getting fed up.

Concern ?!! That reporter is hypocrate i hate that term normaly used by us goverment by taking action of Israel as small thing

But why do they allow so many people of one nationality to enter into the country?? Apparently, it couldn't be because they help to build up the country, because many natives are complaining.. And based on one of the complaints is that they are not interested in conforming to the Canadian culture.. Doesn't the government know that allowing a mass population of people of the same nationality into their country is how colonization begins?? Where, instead of the foreigners adapting to the nation's culture, it's the natives adapting to theirs?? In everything there has to be a balance, else, there won't be any stability.. My conclusion is, a lot of these foreigners only want to take advantage of the opportunities the country has to offer, but they don't have any respect or affection for it.. What's the Canadian culture like, though?? I'm always interested as a Jamaican..

They won’t take the Palestinians because what happened the last time they did? Thats right, the Palestinians tried to overthrow the Saudi crown. What happened in Iran? Ohhhhhh stop, that’s right, the Palestinians tried a revolution Iranian government. Guess what, same thing happened in Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait & Egypt. Send them to somilia, they’ll get along great there.

Canada is a sinking ship, it took a decade to decimate this country, it will take another decade to fix it.. if that.

Lets the Germans Poland and other Europeans take the Zionist back... as they came and occupy the land of Palestine

Well we pay 45% tax give or take to get mediocre services and over paid public servants who achieve nothing.

The worst part is that the healthcare has really gone down. Paramedics can take an hour to come. Wait in hospital 24 hours. Robot care. MRI you have to have a lethal disease to get a fast appointment. Most of the time you are just dead by the time your turn comes. Sad to see what this country has come to. It is garbage and comparing it to war torn countries still doesnt make it seem like a paradise.

My biggest regret is taking Canadian citizenship \nSo unfair to survive as legal immigrants \nCanada only helps illegals

I agree with the person who commenced at the 8-minute and 20th-second. Some Indians are in Canada, not to study, but to gain permanent residency. Indians look at the dollar, which is superior to the Indian rupee. The dollar attracts Indians to work and live in Canada so they can live a better life than in India. However, some Indians should acknowledge and respect that they are in Canada for a particular time and must leave once that time is over. Another thing is that some of these Indians do not adapt to the Canadian culture; instead, some disrespect it and take advantage of the loopholes in the Canadian system.

Why did Trudeau want so many Indians? Indians can be very racist. Often when Indians take over a business, they discriminate against other ethnicities: Chinese, Filipinos, and Whites. They often work in customer service, but are not as personable and helpful as other ethnicities, such as Chinese, Persians, Blacks, and Filipinos.

Why didn't you take the Jewish refugies?

Please take your own back. They don’t use deodorant, don’t wash their BO clothes and don’t believe in caring for their property

the real reason behind immigration is to hide the housing market crash behind a veil so that people don’t see what’s comming . all these new immigrants come to canada and the first thing they do is get into debt for school , for a house , and for a car . it’s a business and the government and banks need them coming to hide the real state of the canadian economy . sadly most of these immigrants are taking the bait and going to find out canada is not all sunshine and rainbows .

Take friends and family with you!

It’s illegal to take the law into your own hands .

They are using mass immigration to increase their voter base, take jobs from young Canadians, and destabilize the unity of the country.

Canada good days are over and will take 30 or 40 years to recover, if can recover.

Canada is going ahead with more MRNA Vaccines ?. Canada will be purchasing these Vaccines and forcing Canadians to take them. ☠️

leave and take the asylum seekers ,tfws and students too. too many people not enough resources

Y don't united States of isreal take them isreal is in the Muslim land

Imagine if someone comes into your house, eats all your food, leaves trash everywhere, takes your bed and then throws a tantrum if you try to get them to leave

Since these jmmigrants are taking over low skilled jobs, virtually nothing is left over for high school and college kids. I personally took 2 years to find even a minimum wage job, and that was only due to a connection.

He loathes the so called palestinians. he wont take a single 'refugee'. he also knows that the Quoran in 5:20-21 says the land belongs to the Jews. Saudi actually sides with Israel in the need to destroy hamas and the plo. This FM is just appeasing his muslims.

We need to take care of our veterans, Indigenous peoples, and Canadian citizens. As an immigrant we should stop immigration. It’s not fair to our people.

This is not 1948 again. Arabs felt for it once allowing Israel to take over peoples land.they are smart now and cleverly not letting Palestinians leave their land. Lift the real weight and that is Israel occupation of Palestinian lands.

lol so why had germany to take all these syrians then?

The fact that the only international students involved in this are from the Middle East says it all. They’re here to take over..

These people are taking over Canada. Too many Indians

In Surrey,BC..international students linevup at Food Banks. They take illegal Security Guarding jobs for $10 per hour.

Part of what's really making Canadians dislike immigration is the total disconnect between what they see, (low wage workers, protesting, cheating the system, large numbers of newcomers getting disability & using food banks) and what the government keeps telling us-- which is that they add to Canada because there's doctors and they'll be building houses.\n\nAll of our systems are going to collapse, because we keep bringing in people who take from them but never add.

It is not Canada any more . With mass immigration and government erasing our history like taking down our statues changing street names etc. Our government wants Canada to be a new country.

They come here as student permit they should go back to there country if they need only a good education then come here for study ONLY . DONT give them any work or work permit so that they don’t take advantage Canada. They are abusive not being racist but it seems that it’s only one race came here. No more Canadian they invade Canada

Canada has stricter immigration laws than America. The USA tends to take in poor migrants compared to Canada, which tends to take in rich immigrants. All those poor migrants that come to America need government assistance to live and America can't afford it!

In the USA you get there and become an American. In Canada you become a hyphenated Canadian. No cohesive identity. I agree that we need immigration but taking the concept and stretching it beyond what we can house etc is not a sound policy. Libs knew the potential housing risk yet they forged ahead and created all the good press about it. We are by far the largest immigration point in the world and proving that we can’t manage it.

Anyone who's in Canada, there's going to be mass protests across the country on Canada Day against mass immigration. It's called Take Back Canada and they're happening all over the country so take a look at which ones are happening near you and get out there, let's do more than just comment on Youtube and actually show our governments we won't tolerate this destruction of our country! I know they're happening for sure in Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa, but there should be some in other cities too!

Brantford is just as bad for immigrants taking over. Most with faith and ideologies not Canadian.

Take them in. They came from Arabia.

US should take Israelis from Palestinian land and share their lands with them

Canadian here, I dont think immigration is bad during times of calm and prosperity. As long as we have the ressources to integrate immigrants into society, there's no problem with it.\nBut let's say that these days, the world as a whole isn't in a very good state. We alrealy struggle to house and feed our canadians, we can't afford to take more people that will clog the crappy health system and the rare housing left. It's completely stupid. All those immigrants cant get a roof and a stable job and this creates violence and shit like that. It's weird cuz im normally on the center-left but im getting more and more on the right

another treason is act by trudeau india and asians taking all our jobs

❤ keep reporting!! Immigrants taking over everywhete in N. America! Di in Cali.

They must go back...and take our politicians with them!
