Im currently 15 years old. And i wanted to go to Canada for education. I never wanted to live in America, cause every day i heard about a pretty bad police and Health care and obviously people. \nNiether go to Australia cause there are a lot of dangerous plants and animals (Im not going to lose an eye to a bird, or life to a spider). \nAnd i honestly praying that to the time i get 18-19, Canada became better. Cause i do believe that this insane crisis Canada is right now, isn't permanent. \nAll countries were in a crisis, and most pf them got out of it. Like England, France, America, Belgium and etc.

I was there, vancouver, around 2018 to before covid, I feel they might have gotton the welfare wrong. my salary after tax,heath insurance is 40% left to settle all my living expenses. and who benefits? eg. drug addicts wait for free drugs every morning, a women keep boring kids to get free welfare, this I heard- a refugee with 3 wives and 12 kids got at least a free house and van courtersy of the local govt, a newly minted immigrant citizen also gotten $1200 senior welfare. Just felt that normal working folks are getting a very short stick. Also not sure if the free university education is all that good, it uses a lot of tax money, but higher earnings go to labour jobs like a roofer could earn $150k vs a business admin graduate earing $60k avg .

I escaped Brampton 12 years ago and never looked back. This report confirms I could see what was coming and made a very wise decision. I thank my lucky stars every single day!

Last election is rigged, if you check the map of the last one, in the regions we are still conservators and right. But not in big cities. It,s the same phenomena like in France, Brazil, States. Every regions are blues except big cities. how can you win?

He is right ❤ every single word

It's kind of crazy that you'd have to choose specific states, cities, areas, etc to avoid living among the violence. While not every area in Canada is 100% preferable, I almost wouldn't think of my child's safety as a factor when choosing where to live. Canada, generally, is a pretty safe place.

I want to throw up every time I here someone like this go on about cultural diversity as if it's a good thing.

No. And you can thank Truedeau's policies for the mess. It was fine as long as Harper, the Conservative PM was in charge. \nThen Justinder went full-monty Woke Liberal on every thing left.\nYou got what you voted for. I am not sure that you can oust the Liberal-NDP Government. \nFor that, the Conservatives have to poll 45% in a 3-way race. That's not easy.

British behind every problems in the world now it's time to pay for it. Muslim will run the country with Sharia Law. ?

There are mass shootings almost every day in the United States not only in schools, but in malls grocery stores Walmart. You’re turning into a Third World country nobody wants to go there.

He told the truth which hurt them every time.

Every country is owned by their natives. As an Indian I say, push the Indians if it troubles you...

The other arab countries dont want a bar with the gazan people. Theres a history of farking up every country thats taken them in, thats why. Ask jordan and lebanon. Wonder why egypt closed it borders.

They have a right to stay because this is not about Canadians or Indians. It is about humanity. This world is for every one. Canadians can also move to India and have a peaceful life. Am an African and we have many people from other countries living with us but we don't force them to go because this world is for all of us. Even Canada is not originally for white people. Actually it has to be the Aborigines asking for this but they are quite.

I wonder if anybody noticed that every time you copy America you end up like America.

That’s what we all want to end war ‘ Let the Palestine people stay on there land ‘ Every Country should be able to live in peace Without being threatened by Nuclear power

IM FIRST NATIONS. DEPORT EVERY SINGLE ONE.

I have lived abroad for last 47 years, with god's blessings and grace life has been good, have pension and free medical treatment doctors medicine,i travel to India every year but medical treatment is a scam there and any thing which is simple abroad is complicated in India especially if they know you are living abroad they make it more complicated or scam you especially for medical treatment, traffic in Bombay is terrible, takes hours to move around in cabs , public transport its not possible to travel, so much or garbage around and pollution and the heat and rain its impossible to get out the house starting March until September its terrible luckily September to March can manage in India and its winter time abroad during that time,if it was not for the winter abroad my first choice would be abroad compared to India, people who are used to comfortable life and maids in India can't manage abroad, even I can easily afford a maid when I m in India I do my own house work in India as i do it abroad\nThe millions of Indian who live abroad complain but never coming back for good\nSorry to say indian are the most racist even among themselves caste, religion, State,and 99% of indian are fake and show off much more than their worth

When you understand that the goal of Islam is submission of the entire world to Allah.. in other words, Islam is an ideology bent on global domination. \nWe should rejoice that Canada is not an Islamic country and rejoice further at every effort to prevent it from becoming one.

So if you wanted immegrants to build houses and work in your broken health care system why canadian government issued visas to international students in other categories? Reality is international students are cash cows and canada generates 22.3$ billion dollars every year

Canada does not have the money to save every refugees !

Someone above asked why so much Indians. you see indian student's out there - yes they had to pay 20K-40000CAD FEES to colleges + now a days 20,600 CAD GIC to Banks in Canada. \nEach in total spends 40-80k cad. \n\nAnd every day from the tim cup , pizza/ burger to food delivery you see indian. Student/ work permit holders/ pr they work up to built our canada. \nTalk about health care ( Doctors,nurses,psw,dentist) Transportation, \nhard- cheap labour,\n IT projects, Constructions, mechanics....name it you have INDIAN playing a major role. \n\nHow did canada expanded and devolped so well ? Even after such harsh climate conditions. \n\nNo immigration = No development of country.\n\nThink a bit towards a positive end as well. \n\nNo one had spend a single dollar from his/her pockets to get a single Indian here into canada. \n\nIndian immigrants pay themself to come to canada \n \nNot to forget the immigration visa fees, right to PR fee many more from all this indian people you see around paid to come to canada.\n\nThanks.

Thanks Trudeau, soon enough we will be able to walk across lake Ontario, just like the Ganges. First hand knowledge here, while enjoying a day at a park, a Hindu/Paki or whatever they were numbering about 50 having a picnic/family get together, age ranging from 1-80 with 20 or so full grown men. Despite their being a trash can every 20 metres, and numbering 47 total in the park, the family left the garbage all over the ground and tables and left. The mess, considering 50 ppl you can judge for yourself. Now in our world if I call the law on them I am a racist. The Canadian way is gone, new arrivals think that we should adapt to their ways, not the new arrivals adapting to ours. Canada was once a great nation, no more it costs your whole cheque just for rent, then you need to work another job if you want to eat.

I agree with every word you said. It's so hard to find jobs nowadays.. it's just getting worse and worse! They think they can just take over everything! Not gonna happen. Justin Trudeau needs to STEP DOWN.

It makes me crazy to hear Justin repeating everything Pierre has been saying for months. Immigration is causing issues with so many International students coming to Canada which is more than Canada can absorb. Justin hasn't thought of any ideas and uses what Pierre has been saying for months now. If you can work out the immigration numbers coming into Canada and the possibility of building homes and how fast. They said Canada would have to build a home every minute to build homes to fix the number of people in Canada now through immigration.

Every international students MUST go home after they graduate!! They CANNOT use their student status to stay in Canada & take jobs AWAY from Canadians!!! No more international students!!!

I was an international Student....15 years ago. I paid about 30k in tuition A YEAR.. I was NOT allowed to work off campus, i was allowed to work ON campus for a maximum of 10 hours A WEEK...in order for me to maintain my Visa status i had to maintain a GPA over 3.5 AND i had to be enrolled in an accredited institution. Our international student department had a quota of how many students they could recruit from every country... Rent was affordable, jobs were aplenty and when it came time for an Internship companies would come do hiring fairs and fight to get students to want to work for them. Now they get about 60k applicants a year that are willing to work for free and taking away from actual citizens.\nAfter 8 years of working and grinding and stressing i earned the right to get a Permanent residence...i had to commit 3 years out of 5 to stay here and work here and pay taxes for me to become a Canadian ...it was the proudest day of my life. I was filled with a sense of achievement that has been shat on by these students. \nIf you or anyone would actually like to talk about how it should be feel free to reach out.\nI will tell you this for free...if a Canadian Citizen did this in my country .. they'd be on the first flight home.

Very sad. I feel for the students but my family comes first. Shit is hard right now and everyone is feeling the pinch in every turn. We need change. I don't know who to vote but def not the liberal party.

Every Muslim look Saudi as their leaders but now we know they are not, they never be and they will never be. Not this family, not this Kingdom. By now we should know we have nobody but ourselves.

Some of the stats cited here are straight up wrong or... creatively employed, and there's a lot of contradictory information and the typical conservative 'the sky is falling' sensationalism and misattribution. That said, the bas supposition isn't wrong. The bubble we've been sitting on for 20 or so years has completely burst. As someone born and raised in the Toronto area, it's impossible for me to afford to own a house or apartment here on a teacher's salary. Even rent pushes me to the limit unless I want to live in a... less than nice area. I'm living hand to mouth and enjoying the benefits of living in a 'developed' country less. Here's why:\n\n1. Wages aren't really even close to keeping up with the cost of living. The first tick upwards a bit. The second just keeps rising on the back of housing, food, amenities, and inflation: the four horsemen.\n\n2. Our grocery cabal ruthlessly raise prices whenever we look away, and their lobbyists are all ensconced within the leadership of our three major parties, particularly the Conservatives (so if anyone thinks that electing them will help, they're in for a nasty surprise).\n\n3. We're experiencing 'labour shrinkflation': increasing duties are downloaded onto workers and more is expected: more productivity, more availability (almost 24/7 in some jobs), and higher qualifications. Meanwhile, real wages are decreasing relative to living cost, more positions are 'contract', which is basically a way for employers to not have to give you benefits, and job security is tenuous for a lot of people.\n\n4. Houses are being bought by investors and not owners. Foreign entities are money laundering. The wealthy upper crust of high population countries are moving here and buying property because Canada is (still) more safe and stable and less repressive than their home countries in most cases. \n\n5. There's a cycle beginning: as people are squeezed and forced to spend more on 'needs', they spend less on eating out, entertainment, and other 'wants'. These are significant drivers of the service economy and they're being hit hard. So, what can they do? They can let go of workers or lower product costs to remain profitable, but they their quality declines and, in a market where people are pinching every penny and looking for quality for their dollar, they're less likely to go back. They can raise their prices, of course, but then they price people out completely and their profits still tank. I went to a decent steakhouse for my dad's 60th last week. I can't remember the last time that I went to one before that. \n\n6. Our politicians and news cycles focus on the most niche and irrelevant stuff because it'll stoke anger and get tongues wagging. This carbon thing is almost a non-issue, but our conservative leader is harping on about it like it's singlehandedly the death of the Canadian economy when it's a drop in the bucket. Trudeau focuses on 'equity' measures, hoping for a bit of cheap good press, while his efforts are, for the most part, just window dressing and the issues, while meaningful, are often not of paramount importance or even applicable to the vast majority of the people who elected him. Meanwhile, the middle class is pretty much evaporating as he speaks. The NDP keep talking about this in a pretty real way, for what it's worth, but Jagmeet Singh is giving off an increasing vibe of just being another fat cat politician beneath his rhetoric these days. Also, third-party trolls and screeching conservatives try to bury him on social media whenever he speaks... a lot more than other leaders as well, oddly. I wonder why? Oh yeah, the Greens exist and there's Quebec and the conspiracy theory party.\n\n\nUltimately, what we're experiencing is the revenge of the feudal system. Instead of paying rents to your lord and doing labour on the land for him whenever commanded to, you pay rent to your landlord now and go to work even when you're sick or when work hours are over because you have no union protection or are working 'on contract'. Unless we want to live in the armpit of nowhere, 95% of us are going to be wage slaves living hand-to-mouth, not owning our own property, and working to please our corporate overlords if current trends continue unchecked. While some of Canada's problems are unique, I fear that most aren't. As for me, I'm headed to the 'armpit of nowhere' where I can at least have a ghost of a chance of affording life.

I cant have a knife why u can huh\n\n1 law different for every one F.you

You should never allow more than 5% of diversity in equal men/women proportion and that too from every country with the exception of India. India gets a bit more share because India a collection of countries but not a country in reality. India is just a concept created based on religion when partion occured to separate and form Hindu and Muslim states.

Like every administration in the US, people who've overstayed their permits or came in illegally, they grant them amnesty every time, without fail. Feckless and useless politicians.

Where were you so called Canadians when covid 19 hit. Oh! I remember you guys were chilling out on government benefits. \n\nInternational students and workers were the ones who kicked the ass off at sales and service sectors. Without worrying about covid they worked at every job. The jobs where Canadian resigned. I think you do remember. \n\nInternational workers are not demanding PR they are protesting because government forgets all the sacrifices that they have done. That is the reason we are protesting. If Temporary workers have planned a future in Canada is that a Crime?. \n\nAt least we are not racist. \nYou guys will not find the hearts that they have. And myself got my PR but i rejected it and came back to my own country. And you know what i am happy. \n\nInternational students do the jobs that Canadians reject without any family support. \n\nAnd when you guys say these words. We do miss our back home.

What they do in their country they take those bullsshit to every country they go

It feels like rush hour every hour now.

Our government is made up of backstabbing snakes. They all deceive us every time they open their mouths. Pollievr will be the same.\nOnly Max Bernier has said to close the boarder completely and sort out who we have here first then assess who we need before reopening the boarder. I’m an immigrant and I’m sick of what has been allowed to happen to the Canada I love and respect. It has been made a laughing stock and a welfare dispensary to all comers at taxpayers expense. It’s heartbreaking really.

Canadian university taking official bribe from India or Pakistani or Bangladeshi students instead of checking their qualifications is the main problem to begin with. You can deport students. You have right to do so. But put the universities and your government behind bars for the con business you guys have done with everyone. If you dont have guts, you are no more than barking dog just like your prime minister increasing trouble of Canada every day

I think its also YOUR job to stand up to them.report them every single time you see them wrongdoing,protect vulnerable people yourself,help each other economicaly in markets,restaurants etc.There are soluțions If You try

Yes they will be because our polititians have no b****s. They should be deported, every G.D. one of them. Can you imagine going to india and demanding stuff. I worked in the oil patch in India for a year, you wouldn,t believe the grief tryin to get a visa

We can’t even find a job. They are taking our jobs. They don’t even qualify for some high paying jobs and no idea how they got those jobs. When I went to a job interview and the funny thing was I saw bunch of international students were going to every company and knocking the doors and asking jobs. This is ridiculous!

please ask to wacko every day to resign. this man is destroying canada!

We have???? running Canada and flip flop every time the wind changes, It is time we get rid of these???? and get competent people with common sense to run the nation if not Canada will cease to exist and the USA will be pleased to take the land and our resources.....or Russia only to cross the Bering Sea

Every single one of them is named Singh, but none of them apply for jobs that require singing!

The solution is simple...Stop Electing Spineless Politicians!\nUntil every Canadian gets involved and starts electing their own riding grassroots candidate, this will never change and we will have lost our country.\nIt is almost gone now!\nIs it too late?

I can say this ! WE CANADIANS ARE NOT , NOT , NOT, RACISTS? OR PREDJUDICE? \nON ANY TRADITIONAL BASIS! BUT MYSELF, AND OTHERS, AND BELIEVE ME? I STRIKE UP CONVERSATIONS WITH PERFECT CANADIAN STRANGERS? AND I VOICE MY VIEW? AND I ASK FOR THEIRS?.............NOW LISTEN, AND LISTEN CLOSELY!!! EVERYBODY??\nYES! I HAVE NOTICED , SEVERAL YEARS AGO? THE PAKISTANI/ INDIAN / INVASION !!!\nYES WHAT APPEARS TO ME ? AS AN INVASION! OF CANADA !!!! I MEAN THESE PEOPLE ?\nARE EVERY WHERE!!! AND I HAVE BEEN ASKING FOLKS I MEET ON THE STREET? \nTO COMPARE VIEWS? AND WHAT I NOTICE! ALSO? TRYING MY BEST TO NOT SOUND LIKE A RACIST? AND YES! THESE FOLKS READILY UNDERSTAND??? MEANING CANADIANS! AND MANY , YES MANY HAVE SAID FAMILY MEMBERS ARE CONCERNED TOO! AND HERE I JUMP IN ? AND SAY TO THEM!! IT IS THE LIBERALS WHO HAVE DONE THIS!!! THEY ALL LOOK AT ME? AND NOD? OR SAY OUT RIGHT YES! BUT THEY ARE \nDEFINATELY RETICENT TO SAY SO!!!! I BELIEVE THE LIBERALS HAVE TAKEN THIS MULTICULTURAL STUFF ??? WAY TOO FAR!!! IMMIGRATION IS OK? IF IT IS SLOW? \nA LITTLE AT A TIME? AND THESE FOLKS DO NOT BECOME DEMANDING! I PAID HUGE \nTAXES !! ALL MY LIFE! I HAVE HAD A HARD TIME! also, these immigrants need a lot of time to assimilate as Canadians! Also, I do not support , immigrants becoming members of Parliament in Ottawa? unless they are the third generation canadian born! BUT OTTAWA? IN MY VIEW ? HAS LOST ITS LEGITIMACY AND COMMON SENSE! WE NEED THE CONSERVATIVES IN POWER FOR A GOOD LONG TIME! THE LIBERALS ARE OUT OF CONTROL ? IN MY VIEW! \nAND MANY OF THESE PAKISTANIS/ AND INDIANS? MUST BE DEPORTED BACK TO THEIR COUNTRIES! FOR ME ? IT IS ALL TOO MUCH! kennethzakaib607@gmail.com\nMontreal 2024. AND I AM A GOD FEARING MAN TOO! I SAY THIS WITH A CLEAR CONSCIENCE ! I AM OK! WITH IMMIGRATION? AS LONG AS IT IS GRADUAL AND BASED ON THE NEEDS OF THE ECONOMY! NOT SOMETHING THE LIBERALS USE TO REPLACE CANADIANS! IN THE NEXT ELECTION!! SERIOUSLY!

The original plan was to scam our liberal softie system and never leave . They rob our food banks and apply for every social service they can get . Abuse the health system and the list goes on and on . STOP this program and boot every one of them out . DONT allow any more in until every last one of these free loading scammers are deported . THIS IS AN OUTRAGE !

Every week in India a Christian pastor is killed. Plus, it common for family members kill anyone who converts to Christianity. They don't mix with our peaceful country in these kinds of numbers. They don't embrace what it means to be Canadian (peaceful) they colonize every city they go to in Canada. It's not like the old days when Indian's would come and start business and transition into a real Canadian. This is now just transportation of little India to Canada.

Why no one wants to live in Canada..... except every third worlder on planet Earth.

In the shadowed recesses of our world, there thrives the Eternal Pajeet, a vile harbinger of desolation, etched from the very essence of repugnance. This abominable entity, a grotesque mirage of life, roams the realms of creativity and beauty with malice in its heart, a relentless storm of destruction. Born from the ashes of desecration, it is the antithesis of grace, an embodiment of corruption, seeking only to degrade the splendors it can never possess.\n\nThe Eternal Pajeet is the whispered nightmare of society, the chilling draught in the hallways of innovation. It is the malignant growth on the tree of civilization, sucking the marrow of culture, leaving behind the skeletal remains of what once was. Its presence is a stain upon the canvas of existence, a deliberate insult to the notion of beauty itself.\n\nWith every step, it defiles purity, its touch a corrosive, unholy blight. Museums, galleries, and theaters, once bastions of human expression, become its hunting grounds, where it mocks the sublime and revels in the decay of aesthetics. Its laughter, a cacophony of disdain, echoes through the corridors of creation, a sinister reminder of its mission to unmake.\n\nIn its eyes, a reflection of the void, beauty finds no sanctuary, for this creature is the living embodiment of the subhuman, a perverse mirror held up to the face of society, revealing the ugliness within. It is not simply a destroyer; it is a malignant force, a parasite, feeding on the vibrancy of the world, leaving behind a desolate landscape devoid of color, life, and hope.\n\nThe Eternal Pajeet, a ceaseless vermin of malevolence, represents that eternal void, the unyielding night seeking to extinguish the light of humanity. It is the epitome of untermensch, the antithesis of all that mankind represent, chaos unbound, a tide of teeth and claw, venom and virulence, anathema to the structured beauty of civilization. Where humanity plants the seeds of tomorrow, this subhuman seeks to salt the earth, to tear down the edifice of progress, to drag the aspiring souls back into the primordial soup from whence they dared to emerge.
