Dont pay utilities. They will turn of electricity, shut water and bla bla

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.

Former luxury hotels now turned into dumps. Nice. \n\nImagine a massive city where 50% are paid by the government to live there. Doesn’t sound sustainable to me.

Turn Pit-Bu-Dogs - lose-on-Then.

A lot of applicants are tricked into getting student visas by recruiters into going to Canada for the promises which turned out to be just promised when they get there. Canada has to be stringent on its immigration laws to prevent scumbags from getting rich out of people's despirate hopes and dreams.

when will people realize that the housing crisis and affordability crisis is the fault of wealthy canadian landowners/landlords, corporations, and policymakers. immigrants to canada suffer the cost of living just as you do. they are your allies in the fight to a more affordable and safe society. immigrants are not the ones who caused a shortage in housing, they are not the ones who caused inflation. turn your attention to the real gatekeepers of a better life instead of punching down on people who are just as hurt as you. if you truly cared about solving the affordability crisis, you should turn your attention to the canadian hoarders of wealth. all this complaint of people who “do not belong here” and yet your family probably came here as immigrants just a few generations ago. have some empathy.

Well kamala harris at her best being a border zar . Let's let him all in and turn this place into a bigger crap hole than it's getting to be.dems destroy us

The Canadian government subsidizes the wages of workers from India through a work-study arrangement. Most of the unskilled work in my small town (fast food and restaurants in particular) is taken by these students from India, while the teens and adults who have lived in the town their entire lives cannot get jobs because of it. My tax dollars are helping huge corporations pay wages of foreign workers, and my own child and MANY others were turned down for employment by these same companies. Not sure where these workers are living, because there is also a housing crisis in our area. Our immigration system is failing immigrants and Canadians alike.

White Canadians forget they immigrated here too. We are all colonisers turned “immigrants”.

Close it down close it down close it down!! End this Insanity now!! Turn them back and tell them to tell everybody the border is closed!!

Canada is turning into New India ? This country is ruined by Liberals.

It's not racism! It's regular people who want to protect their way of life. A way of life that made their country great. If the roles were somehow reversed and Brits went to middle-eastern countries, didn't conform to the culture and lifestyle, and then started turning their host countries into something that resembled Western countries, these middle-easterners would have rioted decades ago!

canada is turning into little india!! if i wanted to live in India... i would move there. Let's help our own first! we can't house or feed our own!! yet the immigrants and students get all the benefits!!

I don’t understand why you would leave a communist country to rush to America and vote democrat and turn it into same country you just left

Four years tRUMP had to close border. He had the house and the senate majorities to pass any law he proposed. He did nothing but turn this into a political ploy. maga people not too bright

7:58 This lady is not correct. \n\nIt's fairly obvious that immigration causes demand for housing, which in turn raises prices.

Without a LOT of immigration the truth is that western countries like Canada and most European countries would simply collapse in a few decades for the problem of demographic decrease... My european country of 10 million habitants is being literally 'invaded' by a huge influx of immigrants as we speak and to be honest there is no other way to make the country viable in the long term. We the western people stopped having kids decades ago and now there's no turning back...

Balance the races coming in. Can’t turn Canada to Canindia.

@3:13 You see that the actual problem is not immigration, but corporate greed, imposed on all of us, by evil corporations, which in turn, profit even more by redirecting everyone's attention towards people in the same or lower social class, like immigrants. It is clearly so clever, that the people/corporations with power run away with everything, while you and I argue about immigration.

Well..we have been taking illegal immigrants from the US at rainbow road for yeara so I guess it is the US's turn now.

We don't want Canada to turn into a third world country. It isn't rocket science.

As an Indian immigrant myself, I have tremendous sympathy for Canadians. \n\nThe so called diploma mills were always a danger but online classes during covid meant they could quadruple their attendance (and thus, their bottom line). The degrees offered by these colleges are worthless and that's why anyone who's moved to Canada in the last 4-5 years is finding it difficult to get meaningful employment.\n\nOn the other side, the Canadian dream really is sold as a cheaper and safer alternative to the American Dream. This is especially rampant in the state of Punjab where people from villages sell their ancestral property to move to Canada as students only to find the stalemate that is the job sector.\n\nThis in turn puts pressure on the economy, the housing market, and the welfare programmes. I think the immigration needs to halt for a while. A LOT of students are lacking in technical and linguistic skills to propel the Canadian economy and society forward and they'll need to not be given Permanent Residencies. PR should go to highly skilled immigrants who are integrating into the Canadian society instead of turning Brampton into mini India.

Too many? Canada is turning into India 2.0!

Immigration is great when it's a steady flow of people of all incomes and backgrounds with background checks, with the opportunity to integrate. Not millions of people all at once turning Canada into the country they're from, creating ghettos, and straining and destroying Canada's social care system.

Maybe because people are sh*tting on beaches, walking across subway tracks, disobeying traffic laws, loitering, littering and disturbing the peace. Basically turning Canada into the countries they came from ?‍♀️

me after losing my only friend in my life .{its true i dont have any friends,life is so sad and some time so enjoyfull but the outcome always turn negative,the all so called my friends were backstabbers,my only and best friend got seprated away because he went to his homeland.now i have be in b/w those fake and so called friends

In order for there to be an honest and effective conversation about potential solutions, people and the media MUST stop equating anti-immigration with racism or xenophobia. Otherwise it just shuts down conversations. Immigration is an economic lever like any other, and there are moments to turn it on and off.

What a disgusting state of affairs for Canada. It has become an East Indian and Muslim shit hole. And I am not just referring to Wasaga Beach. The criminals in power who have allowed, or facilitated this transition, should be removed from office by any means possible.\nOther than the fact that most Canadians are weak and unprepared for civil unrest, Canada will soon erupt into chaos like the UK, when Muslims begin to exert their majority status, and their own version of law and disorder. Unfortunately, many previously able bodied Canadians are being turned into zombies, by the Mexican Cartels and their Chinese partners in Canada, thereby reducing the threats to \nIslam at street level.

Also i just hope Ethan's advocacy doesn't turn against immigrants themselves.

Canada is way overrated. I've spent so many years living there and now I am back in my country of birth. I regret immigrating to Canada 20 years ago. All those years that I've spent living in Canada I consider as waste of time. It turns out that I can make more money in my country of birth than in Canada. And it's safer than Canada. Western countries like Canada or US are just overhyped.

I'll be honest, 10-15 years ago, Canadians/Europeans lampooned U.S for their strict Immigration laws, hated the U.S for not welcoming others... I find it interesting how the tides have turned over the years.

I wish we all could rise up and over turn this government and send them all home! ??

They want to get in our country and turn our country into that s*** hole country that they're from?

cause I don't want canada to turn into india. have you been to india. sadly our elite has already destroyed our country

When your bathtub is full, you turn off the tap so it doesn't overflow.

No Indian comes into Canada without a visa from Canadian givernment. Canadian universities and students benefit massively from increased revenue and lower fees thanks to Indians. The sad part is they turn around and be racist and learn to be more racist from an Australian.

Great news. Take Canada back before we turn into Europe

Give Trudeau another term & he'll turn Canada into khalistan

We brought in immigrants because we needed skilled labour. The immigrants came and worked at Fast Food establishments instead. Canada didn't address the skilled labour shortage how they should have, INVEST IN CANADIANS. Education is far too expensive for the essential trades and sectors and health care especially is no longer desirable because they're treated poorly and overworked. They should have fixed the issue at its core. Instead they brought in people they didn't properly vet. We also didn't have the resources to bring in so many people (housing, jobs, healthcare, education) so some (especially in BC/ ON) have turned to crime and gangs.

That's the only truth and the question is simply not and never necessary at all... don't twist and turned the truth... period

America is turning black....

This isn’t totally accurate, and comparing Canada to the US is like comparing apples to oranges, a more apt comparison would be Canada and Australia (similar government structure, similar population, similar economy) unlike the us that has 8x our population and is the richest country in the world lol. \n\nThat being said the problems with the Canadian economy are pretty straightforward imo, for housing it’s simple, the Canadian government has invested heavily into the real estate market with things like the Canada pension plan being largely invested into the CPP. There is also a huge amount of people who have banked their retirement on the value of their home, for the most part these are blue collar workers. These two things combined have created a huge problem for the government, it basically has to choose between fixing the worsening housing crisis and in the process wipe out the savings and retirement accounts of millions of Canadians or let the problem get worse and worse until something boils over. This problem is also being compounded by the increasing number of international students being misled into coming here, they are being promised world class education but are receiving bogus diplomas from what are essentially sham colleges (thanks Ford). \n\nWhen looking at the competition in the country it’s a more complicated problem than people like to admit, in order to not become a client state of the US we have to place stronger protections on our industries and media, this insures that Canadian money stays within the Canadian market but has the drawback of discouraging competition. Now if you ask me the solution to this is to nationalize large industries that are being controlled by large oligopolies who unnecessarily manipulate the price of goods like Bell, Rogers, Loblaws, air Canada, petrol Canada, etc. By taking control of these industries the government could have better control of the price of goods and should result in better prices for consumers in turn we’re leaving some of the pressure placed on us by the cost of living crisis. This worked wonders for alcohol which in Ontario brings in 1.5 billion in revenue for the government each year, imagine how much internet, electricity, phone service and produce could bring in.

Trudeau has turn Canada into a garbage can , inmigrantes with no connection to Canada values , why Trudeau brought in 1 million of Indian into Canada , when Canadian have no job , no housing, corporation preferred cheap labour \nWe need to get rid off Trudeau as sooner is possible before this incompetent bozo ruins the country with more unregulated immigration and stop student from India , or make sure they go home after they finished they studied and can’t apply for residence \nI am sick and tired to see Indian everywhere working while Canadian can’t get a job because corporation ask for foreign workers for cheap working conditions,

Blackface Trudeau has turned Canada into a third world shit hole. Since 2010 Canada productivity was about 5% , Australia had 19%.\nThe reason: Australia lead to its strength, resources. Trudeau and his ilk deliberately tried to destroy Alberta’s and Saskatchewan’s economy.

Did a little bit of research on this just last week. \nThe mayor, needs to step up, something fierce. \nThis is nonsense. It cannot be sustained. Our citizens will leave, and the new people coming, will turn America. \nWhere is his head at? \nSpeaking for me, they already destroyed the dryers where I do my clothes. I cannot afford people living here who choose to be ignorant. \nThey have no concept of community and don't wish to apparently. I could go further, I am choosing to keep my mouth shut. \n\nWhatever religion they have, I'd like to file a complaint with their god.

I was doing some comparative research on violent crime statistics because my home town of Winnipeg gets such a bad rap in Canada as the nation's most crime-ridden major city. So I did some looking into US cities of roughly the same size and crime stats. As it turns out, Winnipeg is the same as Seattle. Ever hear an American bitch about the crime in Seattle?

You know i really wanted to visit East Coast for my honeymoon, spend my sweet cash in your country and enjoy it, unfortunately it has turned into a shit hole so i am forced to change my plans and go to Japan. At least me and my wife will be safe.

NYC is turning into it's own 3rd world liberal country. They get what they voted for.

Democrats are turning the western world into the 3rd world at a rapid pace! It’s incredibly depressing ?

UK has just exploded. Government is not listening. They are going full communist by calling everyone far right, banning free speech, and arbitrary arrests. I wouldn’t be surprised if Wagner group turn up to support the Government. ?
