Lol ? government is to blame

Weak minded people blame the less fortunate for their own problems

And blame Former President Ttump. Alert New Yorkers before you vote in November. If you want more migrants vote Kamala.

Problem named: Justin Trudeau. And people blame immigration ?

1st off some folks need to calm down & step back. Some y'all are out here blaming random BIPOC & str8 up being racist AF. Don't turn this into the US and UK with the race riots.

The Establishment are lying to both sides. The Canadians AND the immigrants. It is criminal and needs to stop. It is happening everywhere in the West. Blame the Govts for their policies.

Everbody want to blame someone or something instead of taking accountability.

Immigration? VP Harris needs to remind the American people about the sequence of events that lead to a twelve your old girl from Houston, TX losing her life at the hands of two undocumented migrants and he's toast:\n\nFACTS:\n\n1) Former President Trump told his supporters during a rally in Nevada that he is fine with being blamed for tanking the bipartisan border bill currently negotiated in the Senate. (Jan. 29, 2024)\n\n2) Senate Republicans blocked a bipartisan border package Wednesday, scuttling months of negotiations with Democrats on legislation intended to cut back record numbers of illegal border crossings. (Feb 7, 2024)\n\nThe republicans want chaos, not solutions!!

Mexico is to blame for this as well. They let all them into their country as well

We're an IMMIGRANT COUNTRY! These are purposefully racist and divisive talking points amongst politicians and rich people which are meant to divide working-class people with genuine and rightful grievances. Instead of focusing that rightful anger on who is really responsible for inflation, the housing crisis, and all the issues listed in this very-well made video, which are corrupt politicians, bankers, CEO's of major corporations and BILLIONAIRES AND MILLONAIRES! Rich people and politicians try to divide and confuse the public by playing into people's worst impulses such as being racist. I don't blame the protestors or people in this video who habour all this anger, I really don't. Their grievances are genuine and their anger is completely justified. However, it is misguided. When you think about it, WE ARE AN IMMIGRANT settler-colonial country. Unless you are an Indigenous person, YOU AND YOUR FAMILY COME FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE! So it is not logical for us to be anti-immigrant, when, again unless you are Indigenous, WE'RE ALL IMMIGRANTS! The public and working-class should focus their anger on who is really causing all these issues. Rich people and corrupt politicians.

You blaming Democrats ..get the hell out of here ...thank Trump for stopping it

Blame Islam on this.

Everyone os blaming immigration but nobody is talking about building more business, employment and bringing competition in Market.

Blame ur government, not innocent people looking for a better life.

Now kamalas campaign ad blames trump for this boarder disaster

Properties owners stop working and start relying on the rental incomes and as we know the post covid19 economic situations of the whole world is so bad so with those rental incomes Canadians properties owners couldn't make their living anymore the way they where living comfortably before covid19 so they start blackmailing their government and blaming new immigrants. sometimes people rent out their properties and living in the shelters near to their properties. Only solution of their problems is either sale their expensive properties or start working hard not only rely on the rental incomes no matter what you are engineers lawyers doctors realtors etc. .....work work and work hard friends.

The First Americans were pushed off lands and given Casinos Europeans were the first illegals acting like they didn't cross a whole ocean to get here and if they do build a wall its not to keep people out but to keep you in but nobody's worried about a National debt that no one will be around to see get paid off America it's always someone else to blame one side to every story regardless if it's the truth or not

sigh.... what do u expect EU to do for you? EU has housing millions of migrants now, they dont want anymore. Most migrants and refugees all wanan go to germany, france, uk... They had enough also. Meanwhile, eastern border countries dont wanna accept these people also, because they know the western european countries wont want them either. Nobody wants to accept these migrants. It's sad, but also understandable. Dont blame the migrants who want to seek better lives for themselves, we all do. Blame the world and their leaders for f**king up these countries and now their people have to leave their home countries..

Liberals need the votes.,thats all it is. Then blame conservatives, and the liberals win,and we go in circles ,and canada crumbles. This is happening everywhere

Don't blame the immigrants, blame the Government.

Canada is flooded by Indians. I blame Liberal and the corrupt immigration system.

stupid woke leaders that citizens voted for!!! blame whom??

Cnn is to blame for this. You are part of the swamp!

Blame your government not the immigrants.

Bernhard needs to perform an in depth examination into the push/pull factors associated with migration. He needs to be more objective in his analysis of the impact of immigration and its relationship to public and private services. Even though his organization does a decent job of integrating immigrants, their limited focus on the principles that attract people and understand that the services available are limited instead of blaming policies that are decades old.

This makes Zero sense. How are immigrants to blame ?. White nationalism masked as Xenophobia

i dont blame locals in any country for wanting to protect their identity and culture.

I'm Canadian. Canada isn't the same anymore. Everyone is basically broke right now, no onr can find work, and if you can, you still won't be making enough to keep up with inflation. Mortages and rent have doubled, food prices are robbing us, and we are taxed significantly only for our tax dollars to be wasted. \n\nAnother issue is Crime. \nCrime has gone up, Especially in the past few years. Not only car thefts and scams, but violent crime too. Every week, an international student, or immigrant is charged with the murder of someone in my city. \n\nMy biggest issue is that they can't find drive very well either.\n\nI'm not racist. Its important to have an open mind and be accepting towards other cultures. However, our country has fallen. I mostly blame Trudeau, his government is very incompetent. He has ruined our country

The refugees need to be blamed too, why focus only on students?

So who profit of the rent increase? Why are they not blamed? Do you really need to increase the rent because the demand is high?

Ahhh yes, the liberal playbook, blame the conservatives in the early 90s for their complete failure of the last NINE effing years.

It's funny you all blaming immigrants but not the greedy landlord

Has anyone pointed a finger at the landlords? Just because you can charge a fortune for your s#*t apartment doesn’t mean you should. How about the real estate agents getting rich off this madness.\nI blame Greed, Not immigrants.

It's genuinely exhausting to watch even so-called progressive outlets like the guardian foment fear and anger against migrants and refugees rather than someone, anyone, possibly questioning whether the incentives for property developers and landlords might, in-fact, be a potential factor in the ongoing housing crisis. But sure, it must be immigration to blame for the exact same housing crisis happening across Canada, Australia, the US, the UK and half of Europe, must be just that one simple factor and definitely not any other systemic or economic factors which might underlie how housing, governance, and migration are linked. \n\nBecause all of those countries certainly have one thing in common, and you're all correct, they all have identical immigration policies, right? Right? Couldn't be the hyper-commodification of housing and development rights stoked under the neo-liberal systems of governance which ACTUALLY forms a shared commonality between these countries. But that would be hard to think about, best just to blame the immigrants, makes life easy breezy. Can't see any problems down the line with that line of thought, right Britain? We'll just keep doing race riots every decade then, instead of actually trying to agitate against any of the problems at the heart of this issue. Solved. Too easy.

The lady at 7:55 hit the nail on head. People blame immigrants for $3K rents. If anything, immigrants are driving down rents because they can't pay nowhere near that kind of money. The fact is that capitalism is kicking into high gear, there are Canadians who make enormous amount of money in the new digital economy, and they are paying 2 million dollars for a house or 5K rents, and that tide of affluance is lifting all the boats across. Its the very successful Canadians who are outpricing the average Canadians from living in Canada.

The corrupt governments of these immigrants are to blame. How much money has the corrupt government of India stolen?

@4:36 So, let me get this straight. They built condominiums, where people are going into bidding wars, resulting in extremely high prices; and you still find a way to blame immigrants, because they are - what, gonna be able to afford this?\n\nThe nonsense coming out of her mouth.

Typical of a country in crisis and the populist on the right blaming refugees and immigrants.

???... just ask the Canadian governments. Don't blame on the immigrants.

And....blame Trudeau.

I blame that to our stong bovine worship and body odor

i think it's the economy. the whole thing is growing 2 slow meanwhile the population grew 2 fast. per capital is diluted or decreased to a point average folks felt it pretty hard. im not up against, blame or suggest anything just my thoughts opinion as to why.

Immigration is essential. Blame the leaders for failing to provide infrastructure. This is also true outside of the immigration issue. We have not addressed or overcome the slashing and burning of the 90's. Don't blame the need for immigration. Blame politicians for ignoring the elephant in the room. They have to spend money to properly integrate folks. It's not fair to anyone.

Putin is to blame, also George Bush destabilized the Mideast\n Pushing these poor immigrants out of their country and then put in strain on every free country

They always gotta blame some one but themselves!

Because of the immigration policies, certain races are being villainized. I’m an Indian born and raised here and have never felt more insecure. Blame the policies, not the people!

I don’t even necessarily blame the government. I blame the for profit immigration centers in foreign countries that sell canada as this utopia rich land. We’ve been struggling for years and it’s not fair for those who come here being told it’s paradise and they’ll make all the money they want when it’s not true. It’s fraudulent

Blame landlords, edge funds or investors not the immigrants, who rises prices: greedy people.

Lol yeah lets blame government lack of capability to balance the budget and allow enough housing to be built on the weakest sectors of society, immigrants.\nLower beaurocratic barriers created by governments and we will have more than enough housing!

I blame Justin.
