well I have to say that this video is yet another white man complaining how the country is when they sat and watched it happen over the past 20 years. BOO Hoo you're the minority now sucks don't it. Not being able to get hired white people homeless living in the streets and entire areas are being taken over by immigrants. WHAT TO HELL HAVE WHITE PEOPLE BEEN DOING FOR 20 YEARS!! No mass protests, no private members bills, no community organizations to stem the tide of immigration. It seems what you're saying is if it isn't white, it isn't right and now finally enough white people are feeling what it was like for every brown or black person and other non white groups (still shit on) for the past 50 plus years. Remember there isn't an issue until it affects white people is the way it's been in Canada my whole life. I lived and grew up in small town Canada during the 80s and 90s and I can tell you white people weren't very friendly, and they certainly didn't hire people that were nonwhite for any of the good paying jobs, the data exists if you care to look. I think instead of promoting division and board line hate why don't work with these communities and find out why they only hire their own. Maybe pay back for the decades of being shit on by white Canada would probably be a reason you may hear; I know I do and have because I've asked owners of the companies. They are fed up with driving cabs and doing shit work so instead of crying about it they created communities or took over communities and made it so they don't have to reply on or hope that whites will help.... THEY HELPED THEMSELVES. and if you as a white person sat around and watched and let it happen since this didn't happen overnight well you are right where you belong, something to consider. Drop the race baiting and work and open communication with people and work toward a common goal. Maybe had that happened 20 or 30 years ago, Canada may not look like it does today. \nRemember immigration was initially intended to bring in workers for a set amount of time and then they were sent back. Canada wasn't producing enough people to replace or increase the needed work force required for the country's growth. \n\nYoung man if you ever want to talk and help figure out how white and brown people can come together and fix a racist system that goes both ways, I have just a few ideas that might actually make Canada not only how it used to be for whites but a Canada that benefits everyone. So please stop with the race baiting and promote and find ways that everyone can exist....unless you are racist and don't want anything but to have white people be the majority again, and if that is the case then your part of the problem and not the solution. \n\nBTW I am native French and Spanish and English now that is a war going on inside me lmao.

I was born and raised in Canada and in my 60’s now. I can’t afford to live here anymore, healthcare has declined, personal safety, fuel costs, insurance etc. most of all our politics are a mess on all three major parties. The Liberals are a royal mess and inflation went through the roof. They’re just running around like the 3 blind mice making fools of themselves. The Conservatives are involving themselves in a right wing romance with fascist trumpianism and think poutine is an ok guy. The hate speech is unreal. We used to be a real chill country. I have young 20 somethings telling me they think Communism is a great idea and they would rather fight for poutine if a war breaks out. Well it’s their future not mine. The AI, bots and trolls on the internet are telling them what they want to hear in order to stir up hate and entitlement. The NDP (New Democratic Party) is neither here nor there, they’re kind of always the minority and swing both the other two parties to divide the vote and gain some form of temporary power. \nI’d like to see a politician that has the balls to stand up to the dictators of this world that shit disturb in every continent because they are such little insecure bastards that they think they can conquer it. I’ve got news for them. Every single dictator in history has failed… miserably and often brutally. We need the kind of leadership in our Country that can produce good governance. Our GDP is just under $60K. The dictators out there are rubbing their greedy little hands, for if there is ever a 3rd world war, Canada will be the prize. We are loaded with resources. Land mass, water, minerals, oil and gas, technology, geographic strategic stronghold etc. Don’t let it slip into the hands of fascists, communists, dictators or totalitarians they always make it worse so that it takes a lifetime to recover. I’ve spent 40 yrs in the workforce, and listened to countless people from every continent who told me the truth about why they left their homeland. People who survived WW2, the Korean War, Vietnam War, communist China, expansionism of the USSR, the caste system and political persecution in India and Bangladesh. Political unrest in Argentina and Chile. I have personally witnessed systemic racism in the USA and Canada. \nI don’t have anything tying me down to stay here so I will be moving on. I think I’ll just become a nomad tourist for a while.

I really feel sad for the *abuser*,he needs psychiatric consultation plus imprisonment for getting out the racial shits in his mind..

The west will never treat u as humans.get ur shit together and get united help each other out asians african arabs u all have a rich culture u r respectful people trust me the west is lead by a bunch of religious fanatics that are pretending to be secular just so to keep u away from ur own religion ur own culture and when the time is right for them to steike they will not waste a time to attack u.just build weapon industries,u will need em to defend urselves.the west is not all too powerful but their bluff game is top notch trust mw they arw afraid of u guys that one day u guys will realize that u can fight against these western powers n defeat them aswell thats what they r afraid of n all u have t do is dont give in to fear of the west n thats it.they have nukes so do u they can build war machines so can u.u r 2/3rd of the world total population.

If someone throughs shit at you , give it back to them. No need to stay calm.

This issue needs to be escalated. Why should a customer always have the right to abuse the employees for whatever reason and treat them like a bloody pet?? What's the contribution of the company for their employees in this case?? Why should anyone be mistreated with pure racist remarks and business remains silent for whitewashing all the shit for the sake of building a humble image of the company?? That definitely is the revision of the pre 1865 era yet again with a new face. ??

Unbelievable UK needs to weak the fk up before London Bridge falls. Send these assholes back to Afghanistan let them impose their shit there

It would be interesting to see what would of happened during the war if nazi's had been marching up and down our streets, dictating there nazi shit, this ? needs to stop ✋, but I'm starting to understand what is going on here

GOOD!!! Indians need to stop their applications as they will face more hostility and hatred!! They have never liked white people so why the fck are they going to Canada!!??? Noone gives a fuvck if they are punjabs, they still smell like shit! They dont have a place here.

I hope this shit ends soon. If they wanna do this, they need to go back to their own country

This seriously needs to stop I live here and I saw all these selfish pieces of shits downtown fuck people nowadays and everyone is like “ They are tired of not being able to fend for themselves??” shut the fuck up it’s not like us US citizens fend for ourselves and not live in 1000 dollars a month houses. And they give all these lazy pieces of shit phones credit cards, free apartments and all this shit while our US citizens, veterans sit there and left to starve. Fuck this world

Good. We don’t need more immigrants sitting on welfare and taking up affordable housing. We really should deporting these people back to their bombed out hell holes or shit hole scamming countries like India.

im 20 years old and I can see how toronto and Canada as a whole has changed. id say from 2020 on Canada went to shit. It's gotten to a point where I have completely removed the idea of owning my own home here. EVERYONE needs to leave asap.

Getting ill causing a month long stay in the ICU left me homeless as living paycheck to paycheck causes once the cheques stop , I was placed in a Toronto homeless shelter 3 years ago and I can tell you that African refugees enter a shelter and no more than 3 weeks later are housed usually 5 at a time all Getting a fully paid market value 1 bedroom apartment average price $2,600 monthly that with a monthly welfare cheque and free food dental medical prescriptions clothing WIN WIN WIN the Canadian born homeless shelter residents get put on a 38,000 name waiting list for Ontario's drug infested housing ghettos the Africans are being housed under a kept secret program called COHB secret from us Canadian homeless that is and I've witnessed this now at 5 different shelters I've been in, having befriended one of the African migrants who is a little unstable drinking alcohol and smoking pot so he hasn't been housed but he has shown me the paper work that has been housing his fellow illegal immigrants and I say illegal because they all came as visitors only to claim asylum as soon as they land he also told me they all borrow the money for their plane tickets from a gang who once they land and start instantly getting welfare have to send half the proceeds back to this gang in Africa for the next two years , in this shelter donated clothing comes in everyday and two African shelter residents fold and sort the clothing taking all the name brand clothes what they didn't hand out to the other Africans they walk to the post office and ship it back to Africa I'm not making this shit up after we complained to staff which also happen to be made up from the Africans themselves yes they've hired wolves to watch over the other wolves so they now aren't walking out the front door everyday with garbage bags full of clothes at least not in front of our eyes DON'T CALL ME RACIST I know that's the go to word when this insanity is made public , what do you think is the first thing these Africans do when they walk into their free apartment? Make phone calls back to the friends they left in Africa saying Get on the next plane to Canada free apartment free food free clothing free medication free dental and free money every month Canadians need not apply

No labor shortage and no need for immigration..it suits politicians to.do so.\n..more diversity isnt.needed needed\n\n\nLook at the shit show of the uk... same mess\n\n.goodbye Canada!

Take it easy kid. It is not end of the world. See how many lazy people staying in poor homes and relying on giv benefits to live. We do need fresh new immigrants to work to pay tax to feed those lazy shit.

The gov. Is full of shit corporations want more people to sell more products make more money they don’t care about your safety they care about profits ,they live in safe communities need I say more

It's all Truduau.. he is destroying Canada. Canada need immigrants becase they brings in Money, contribute to GDP and also pays tax to the government. It is the immigrant that keeps Canada going. However, the immigration is shit.. they should stop bringing refugees in.

We need to start deporting PR. We need drs and businessmen. Not a shit ton of till workers.

SIR MAAM PLEASE SIR HELLO SIR I NEED JOB SIR I HAVE TO LIE ABOUT MY MONEY SO I CAN SHIT ON THE STREET SIR I AM STUDENT I RIDE BIKE SIR

Who on Earth would want to live here? We are such a depressing and failing culture and society. We have placed ourselves in a situation where nothing properly can grow here. Canada will get far more depressing over the next decades. I tell people all the time don't come here, you'll pay more than money for coming here. And I tell people, who are able, to leave. Find a better place to call home. Canada can't be home to people. Not with how we are easily dislodged, displaced and how everything around us is on fire and burning down. \n\nDon't come to Canada unless you're suicidal and want to die, or you happen to be super rich and you can make it. \n\nCanada will be losing many many Canadians in the future. Whether it's people leaving the country, whether it's people returning to their old countries, or whether it's people killing themselves off desperately trying to find solutions to problems. \n\nPlease don't come here people. \n\nCanada is a horrible place to live. And if I could leave here, I would. But alas I'm a very poor Canadian. So that leaves me with options of suicide later in life, at least Canada is getting programs together for that and the options become more accessible every passing year. If we are going to make a country filled with shit, we at least need to give options to people to leave instead of holding them to a slave system that goes nowhere.

I'm only halfway through but feel I need to comment and well I'm not exactly a new Canadian. But I was born the but grew up in New Zealand. And well why not . I moved over there in 2014 with full rights as a citizen. My trade wasn't recognised. Canada has its own rules about everything. You need to have training to pour drinks in a bar wtf.! But yea I came wanting a better life and well thankfully I wound up in Calgary so eventually I had the money to leave. And come home where know having seen the Canadian shit show I'm killing it here. It saddens me and yes I was that asshole that got trudeau on there cos I seen one rousing speech where he invoked his dad Pierre. And I fell for it. And not to lie I look old Canadian so I fit right in English is my first language and all that. And funnily enough it was the first time in my life where I could say fucking immigrants. It's a brutal place a brutal work climate and well there's a lot that's nice but when it's bad it's dog ear dog. I feel really sad about what's happening, all the mass illegal immigration and yet your a criminal for noticing it. A lot is very wrong, don't get me wrong nz is doing all the same shit too. I went to Canada for prosperity and to change my life lesson I learnt was go home ans do better and that's fucked.

Venezuelans are running from a economic problem, not war!!! They voted that shit in so there for they need to suffer the consequences they have chosen. America should not have to pay for another country’s poor decision making.

Let’s not circle the obvious here. These are the major problems in Canada that are greatly amplified and visible in the bigger metro areas:\n\n- Loss of economic opportunity due to the disastrous Liberal government policies of Justin Trudeau, with all the known bad social consequences.\n\n- Out of control immigration. Impossible for a country to absorb that many immigrants in a short period of time to make them productive and pay into the system.\n\n-Rampant and oppressive woke culture. If you disagree with it, you’re labeled anything from racist to transphobic. \n\n-Permissive liberal policies with drug abuse and mental illnesses.\n\n-Spineless Conservative politicians. This is changing, but boy is it taking long.\n\n-Canadian complacency and self-imposed politeness. The worst traits we have as a country. We basically don’t react to bad situations until the shit hits the fan.\n\nI’m hopeful for this country, but we still need to fall further down to do the changes we need to do.

Im not against it. We may need the numbers soon. They come here for more than just the narrative. Its alot for the states to take on currently cant say it isnt. Things become more hyped in everyway..it almost seems like were bound for another war close to home if not just home.. Theyre leavibg for a reason. I ca only guess that they dnt want t be there. We have a good portion of state side troops home and ready. But if mexico cant protect whats theirs, i dont think they should have it. My arguement being..we the mf people will need the land. Hater gunna hate, u ca suck it up when this gets pushed in to fluition. I didnt want it. I just saw this shit coming.

Ain’t nothing a AR can’t take care of ? soon as they cross over they automatically get more government aid then I do . They need to stop breeding so dam much in Mexico if they know they can’t support them . They want to come here And breed like crazy so all the children become citizens. I’m half Hispanic and I’m tired of that shit . I work just as f# hard as any of them 38yo still can’t afford my own home making decent money . I won’t have a child if I know it’s going to be a struggle. But after 5 years they have 6 kids government aid section 8 condo with a brand new Silverado

If u can’t become one of the ppl of the country ur in them u should be banished forever to where they ever originated from if u can’t become English or British u need to get out including religion u keep that in the church an not in street Britain isn’t a Islamic country or area is better than that so I don’t blame them if they treat Muslims bad they need to become part of the communities not Harrass or try an make it like where they came from\nIf that’s the case don’t leave in the first place not other countries problem if u live in shit hole places or even if they are dangerous fox the problems there

'oh I need to flee my land' then the idiots bring their shit with them. They should think why living a shit life in the first place which is apparently making need to flee. If theyre not happy with the laws with the laws here the p*ss off back!

All of those issues are the same in any OCDE country. \n\nHousing market is shit in Europe too, even worse I would say, but at least they have decent public transports, so you can live outside a city and still go to your work fast. That’s the only real advantage. (Okay maybe construction quality and norms also)\n\nFrom experience, aka a French software engineer now living in Quebec, cost of life is waaaaaaay cheaper here than in Europe. I just don’t buy shitty stuff I don’t need, and eat responsibly. \n\nSure Canada have a lot of issue. Probably due to the current liberal government and the usamerican capitalism, healthcare is in shambles (as any other healthcare system in OCDE), public transport is non existant, etc. \nWherever you go, at some different levels, theses are issues you find in any developed countries because this is just how we made our society and how it’s deteriorating because our model is just bad overall. \n\nI do have gripes with Quebec stuff, which I think it’s one of the worst province in the country, but as far as I’m concerned, as well as most of my immigrant friends, this is still a prime country to immigrate to. \n\nAlso, the Canadians are really welcoming, progressive, kind. (In general, not all of them, don’t get me wrong)\nOne of the best people I’ve encountered and this is very important when you immigrate somewhere.

Canada is one of the best countrys in the world... how dare you talk shit about my country. if you left then canada doesnt need you

Shit, this needs to stop, to many immigrants as it is, America can't take care of the world, much less its own

Canada is love.. it might be going through a tough time but hey, if you love Canada, you would not start shitting on it the moment there is a difficulty. Lets not diss the beautiful Canada which accepted us with open arms when we needed it and remain faithful and loyal and contribute in nation building of this majestic land. Peace

No shit, having more people lessens housing availability. BUT, it's not the fault of immigration that housing availability is so low, anyone thinking that needs a reality check

No shit....if canadians can't rent or buy, let's add in a couple hundred thousand immigrants to the mix so nobody can afford anything...absolute lunacy. Turdeau needs to go now!

Keep them out. It's not our problem. So sick of this shit. We need to help our own first

Goofy ass indians need to stop using canada to jumpstart their shit channels

I was really offended by this video! I am Canadian, live in Canada and absolutely HATE CANADA!! \nEverything said about USA and how bad certain things are, it’s the exact same here in Canada! Canadians can’t have a normal conversation about politics or religion! Look at what’s happening here? Locking up pastors or anyone preaching the bible! And don’t get me started about politics here! Absolute disgusting politics here and the insane amount of bat shit crazy left wing people that believe everything on msm as if it’s golden. Liberal government here has got to be the worst government in the entire world! Once upon a time they were normal and like all other political parties but now since the plandemic they are all insane! These left wingers think that the vax was a good thing and line up to get pics done with our top criminal Justin Trudeau! It’s sickening! \nSo there is absolutely no difference between Canada and USA! We have horrible cities that are dangerous just like USA. We have horrible pathetic cops that are power hungry and out to destroy lives. I know cops in Canada who were put through hell because they stood up for doing the right thing against other corrupt dangerous cops! They are a gang that wear uniforms and have the rights to abuse their powers. \nThis bothered me so much as it’s certainly calling the kettle black! People thinking they are better than others! \nIt would do the entire world some good to pick up the bible, read it and repent! Every single person on this earth needs to!

Those that think and keep saying that Toronto is a 'World Class city' need to give their head a shake...it's a shit hole. Crime is through the roof and pushing outwards towards other areas of the GTA; the defacing of buildings and other structures is saddening, just can't wait for the Docklands project to turn into just another shit hole .The police don't care, cyclists and drivers have turned this place into a hell hole to get around, traffic is at a standstill. I came here in 88, I moved to the outer GTA and even that is experiencing guns and gangs and increasing crime. Canada is so expensive, even travelling across country is more expensive than travelling out of the country. As much as I am grateful to this country it is no better now than a 3rd world country, in fact some 3rd world countries have better standards....I'm outta here.

nothing but criminal's crooks came over to this country now taxpayers got to pay for this shit no way stop paying tax they can not put everybody ? in jail..sick justice system and government need to go....sick bigotry bigot criminal's in this justice system

Whaat is this ??? Why is this happening!!... We dont have enough border patrol officers there!!... Trump put a stop to this real quick!!... This is horrific!!... Wake up !!!.. Where are the National Guard at?? Hello Mr. President!!!!..... We need to help OUR Veterans, OUR Military, OUR People FIRST.....AMERICAN CITIZENS BORN HERE !!!..\n Where is the help for Border Patrol at? ..\n Any official government seeing this?? Where is the help at!!!!...????? Look at how titled they feel to come over here!!!... I'm sorry I'm MEXICAN AMERICAN, I don't like this at all.... ?‍?️???...\n Come legally like other nationalities.. Your not entitled to shit here!!...

They're breaking the law coming in our country the wrong way u.s. citizen needs help you're using up all our resources Annie broke the law to get here this world is so crazy I give up on United snakes of America I can't wait till China Russia North Korea give us a wake-up call we need it I don't need no replies look at our politicians all they do is talk about each other I don't get s*** done I can't wait till Trump stop all this border shit where to buy American and the people who came here the Rite-Way

Well, where to begin Ms McLeod. \nFirstly I couldn't agree more, Toronto is now a mere shadow of its former self. It's a shit-hole actually, unless you have the significant wealth to live behind the iron gates of the Bridle Path, Forest Hill or Rosedale. \nSecondly, the increase in crime is a direct correlation to unfettered and unchecked immigration policies of Liberal socialist governments who continually keep the flood gates open for the undesirable and criminal elements who bring their mentality from off-shore. \nThirdly, the lack of public resources for those suffering from mental health issues is a direct correlation to the disastrous policies in the 1970's of closing of virtually every institution in Canada who dealt with those who needed help. We were told the institutions were trampling on the rights and freedoms these Canadians. Today, there is simply no where for those to turn for help. And politicians of every stripe don't want to touch the issue with a 10-foot pole. Have a look at Vancouver's Downtown East Side - it is an apocalypse of a horrible social experiment gone wrong. The same is happening in Toronto, and even my hometown not far down the 401. \nFourthly, inflation and excessive income tax is a silent killer of hopes, dreams, aspirations and communities. \nI applaud your decision to look elsewhere for your new home base!

May be his translator, now he understands shit Nd no one understands wt shit he is talking ? similar to d manual we get when we buy Chinese gadjets, we understand shit, now he will know the pain and he would understand that he needs to learn English,

All they are is the Democrats new voter base. Democrats don’t give a damn about the American people not at all, And if you think they do you need to go get your brain examined this shit needs to stop and stop today????

Dude, America need to just, claim all of Mexico as its own. Add it to our land borders, and go and fix all the insanity going on down there so that these people aren’t gathering in droves and marching on the border… \n\nAlso, we could then tax the hell outta they asses too ??? Increase our GDP or some shit

Yo we need Trump back in I mean like ASAP cause this shit has to stop fr

I feel sorry for them however, you need to go back home. The United States is struggling our self. We take it home before we take anyone else turn around and go back home. I wish Trump was in office. Oh boy, this shit would not be going down.

We have plenty of housing. Just need federal laws setting pricing caps. I'm a US citizen, with a full time job. And I can't find shit for housing. The US sucks, because of our leniency towards capitalism

We need a massive jail for them all to sit in for illegal entry . Shit is ridiculous

all these mutherfuckers need to pull this shit with their own government .... Not ours !!!
