Canada is and forever will be fu(ked.

Maybe Canada and the US should be one country?

Ive lived in brampton for 5 years. Yes we do have a good number of our people here. \nTalking about temples, thats what indian people do, we are religous. And i dont see anything wrong with having our temples built the traditional way. The city had no issue with it thats how they got permits to build. \nWhy so many of us live here …. Brampton is located very close to all major cities in gta. It has a good public\nTransport network…. A lot of colleges both convenient for the students. And more over the govt did not specify where new commers should go. \nI thought canada was always a land of immigrants from hundreds of years so dont know when they say too many of us here. We came like others…. Did the paperwork… got approved for visa. Students pay 3x the money for the same course a canadian would pay. Its contributing to the economy.

Good riddance! You come to Canada, try to jam your culture and beliefs down our throats. You refuse to except our ways and you expect us to welcome you with open arms??? Hope more follow you and leave.

So basically Canada brings in Indians to replace the white drug addicts ? There is a cultursl issue here. War on drugs is failing the white canadian born in Brampton and from what I gather canada has never really been keen on immigration but I guess they need more people unfortunately seems like its happening to quickly and not really doinng anything to combat drug addiction.

I lived in Canada for 8 years with my family and really hated it because of all the racism. My kids and wife were often called racist names and I faced so much job discrimination!! After living in 8 countries and 4 continents, I found Canada to be the most racist country of all.

Misinformation. I know half a dozen people personally who have moved to Canada and several more who want to. The fact is it’s performing better in many metrics such as life expectancy, overall health and education than most of the world, including the USA.

I live in Canada and can confirm it’s a dystopian hell hole.

Im moving to canada. Meaning im moving to Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal

This is not really a canada issue. Many of the wealthy developed nations are facing the same problem.

European immigrants learned the customs and language of Canada, the current ones disrespect the country by singing the Canadian anthem in Punjabi. As an Argentinian, I perfectly understand the rejection that some people have towards immigration from countries so foreign to the local culture.

While most of the housing focus was on Vancouver, it's the same story in all of Canada major cities-- Toronto, Montreal, and even Ottawa

If Canada doesn’t look European then it’s not really Canada!\n\nLet that sink in

Why no one want to live in canada? We need to cut on immigration because the demand is too high... !??!

In Ireland just like Canada in the 1970s and 1980s it was no real problem to buy a House, then the game changed, now like Canada......... from four times your yearly Wage to 10 times your yearly wage...........blame the Bank's greed and corruption of Government In our Western World.

Pls any one wt d link to register for Canada Visa

Things are so bad for disabled and poor people like myself here in the UK that I've been thinking about leaving for another country, despite knowing I'd lose what little income I DO have. But after watching this, I know not to go to Canada. Throw in the how the weather affects my health let alone the economic situation and its a big no. I'd probably die within a week.

A lot of gangs and gang activities are of south east asians ( ie India) here in the canada, especially western canada. This has been going in since the mid 1980's and their criminal activities continue. The only silver lining is it is usually gang on gang with a few bystanders get killed.

All by design. One way of getting political control is by stripping the population of their national identity and diluting culture, in this case, Western culture. Canada is becoming a shell of its greater former self and you can clearly feel the difference if you’ve been more than five years in this country.

canada and uk the next india....

An immigration plan from the Canadian authorities needs to be established so that more immigrants can access the job market in Canada.\n\nCanada is one of the countries that receives a lot of immigrants and we hope that this year will open up opportunities in this program.

Canada’s is toast! Especially the major cities,,PM Turd-Bucket has twisted the knife on it

Who is earning $100,000 a year and up in Canada? Everybody has an MA or PhD degree or two?

Foreign born citizens have no loyalty towards our country , but they are loyal to their birth countries. Canada is not safe anymore. But Canadian born citizens need to work on improving our country instead of complaining about Canada. It's not Canada's fault. I still love ?? ❤.

Canada is full fit in or fuck off

Canada is a colonial country…shame on your ancestors. Land thieves. That is why you won’t deserve it….

The fucking govt thinks there is a tech shortage and they keep on bringing fucking tech people when there are no tech jobs even for the people currently living in Canada

I thought Canada had been the best for technicians and business so i saw no tge same vision as tgis presentation suggesred

Canada is a disaster now. It’s called Canindia now

Ive seen a lot of ppl migrate to Canada and be very unhappy either because of housing situation ( sorry Canada doesn’t have more homes) or because of the weather. I think its important between new combers to communicate the life style in Canada this way ppl don’t feel some way coming here. I do feel Canada offers alot of help to newcomers. Not saying new comers don’t deserve it specially after paying so much but you are paying for they safe life style the study opportunities the environment and fast way to get pr.

JEAZUS BRIAN ..IMMIGRANTS ALMOST ALLWAYS END UP IN CITIES , AS DO MOST CIVIL SERVANTS ...AND EVERY CITY IN CANADA ( RIDING RICH ) ARE RUN BY LETIES ...GO FIGURE

Just to remind you that from Covid and the war in Ukraine, almost every country in the world is economically struggling. And for the conservatives, let me remind you that Canada is made and composed of immigrants, just to remember that Canada is not only for white people, in case you’d like to appropriate it like you have done almost everywhere in the world.

Canada has become a socialist dump. Thank you Justin Castreau.

Isnt Canada an Immigration country?\nCanada isnt UK that you cud say it belongs to one original race.\nNobody said that Canada needed to be white. Racist documentary.\nIts okay if Canada becomes Indian. Indians always contribute positively to economy.

Yup. As a Canadian citizen with Chinese background who is now moving permanently to the US, I testify. I’m not settling for the cold characterless mediocrity that is Canada. It just doesn’t sit well with me. The US has its problems but I’d rather deal with a nation with problems than a nation with no spirit or character. \n\nBest example is racism. The Canadians aren’t any less racist but they’ll stay quiet. I’d rather deal with the Americans who straight up call me chink and hate crime me, because it’s impossible to make change happen when there’s no spark, no action, no acknowledgement or honesty.

Too many Punjabi Sikh Khalistani radicals ??‍♂️??‍♂️??‍♂️ in Canada ??

? who don't want to live in Canada? Give me a visa today i can come. ??

Wow we know now so many chinese food in canada. Food???

Habibis come to India .. in two days you will fly back and start kissing the streets and trees of Canada. ??\n\nLiving in a paradise has made local lazy.. who asked u all to not create the next google or tesla or alibabas .. it’s a vibrant country with a lot of free capital\n\n Make Canada rich .. start hustling.

Trudeau and Jagmeet hv destroyed once great Canada??

Talk about some bullshit MAGA CLOROX koolaid hoax !! I live in Canada and I enjoy it since 1965 and I don't intend to leave anytime soon ???

Canada should have learned this the first one .

28-year-old Female Sydneysider from Australia here. Apologise in advance for the long post and rambling.\n\n\nNot sure if it is just me, so please correct me if I am wrong. Just probably now too overly 'realistically too cynical'. So please take my input with a grain of salt. 

For context’ sake, for most of my adulthood I have always been poor & I am born with special health needs (E.g. disabilities).
\n\n\nSometimes on forums we are often contrasted to Canada, for some reason. Both Canada and Australia have remarkably similar problems with a different coat of paint. Sydney, for instance, has always been high up in the list of the cities with the highest cost of living in the world. Usually within the top 10-20. 

COVID-19 obviously made this issue clearer in some circumstances because we couldn't 'work' at all. Unless you were an essential service worker, to mentally block out personal and local difficulties.\n\n\nWe still have not recovered from that 2–3 years global shutdown. The only reason I was allowed to work for a period was because I work for the animal industry and aid in animal welfare. 

I still lost my job due to COVID-19 regardless and knew I would never get a decent job again. Merely just the last poor sod on the boat to be thrown off. 

Could not become a vet nurse despite working very hard. Just because no one wants to give me '2-years permanent paid experience’ to be taken seriously. 

At the same time, way too many employers will happily take 2+ years of veterinary students volunteering at their vet clinic. With the vague promise of a permanent job.

Which, of course, never happens, then say we are being too demanding or spoilt for politely asking for said job.\n\n\nHow are we supposed to pay off our student debt if any financial service expects us to have a per meant job to pay anything off??

 No, they do not want to train nor help you. They just want free labour, then kick you out once your time is up. All my jobs have been casual, and my animal industry has already become heavily casual based ages ago. Permanent job is like looking for a magical unicorn.\n\n\nSo, even if you and your relatives lived in the way outer suburbs of Sydney for decades, being typically considered roughly lower-middle socio-economic families. 

The younger adults and kids all know and have been aware for years, they have no future at all due to having an inflated cost of living. Sugar-coating it, saying it might go in a positive direction, sounds like a blatant lie. We all know it is a lie.\n\n\nNowadays, in contrast to the late nineties and early 2000s when I was just a tiny naive kid that didn't know any better. There seems to be a more jarring split between the income brackets of what the country assumes who is poor, middle class or rich today. 

\n\nBy today's standards, my family is no longer even considered close to the very lower end of the middle class if you were reaching hard. We are considered 'poor' just because my parents do not earn roughly $50,000 — $150,000 AUD a year on their own in 2023. When I worked, I usually earned $30,000-$35,000 AUD or less per year before COVID-19 happened.\n\n\n(Source — https://www.news.com.au/finance/money/wealth/middle-class-aussies-were-living-better-in-the-early-2000s-than-they-are-today/news-story/fe173db5bbe2b705a8d05df8c5cb14ee)\n\n\nLife is only comfortable living there if you're a selfish landlord, a nepo baby, new money or old money.\n\n\nI feel like most governments and other systems are only strictly being run by sociopathic narcissists that only want us to stay poor to remain in poor conditions to benefit off of. Wouldn’t want any kid to be born in a world where there are no safe guarantees for their future if their guardian unexpectedly passes away or can longer care for them. 

When something does not change within roughly 5–10 years, it is more than simply just valid for us to feel like we cannot fix what has been broken.

Nobody wants to live in Canada? What about illegal US-Canada border crossing? Why not stay in US?

Lots of place to live in Canada that aren't Toronto/ Vancouver prices. Take a walk on the wild side and go to where your needed instead of where culture and family are. My famliy did it in 1953 and never have never looked back. Had a little bit of pain getting started but ended up in a much better place. Can't imagine living in Vancouver or GTA. Horrible

Canada changed. It is modern day slavery country.

The smell in Canada must be horrible?

I can survive in rising cost of living no problem, biggest problem of Canada is how disjointed it is and how each person is out for themselves to the point of backstabbing and noone shows the real face and that I am not willing to tolerate so I left, after the 20 yr sentence my parents decided to subject me to as a Ukrainian immigrant pre war. I gtfo and no amount of money will bring me back there even in third world countries people are kinder to each other than in Canada

Then watch an episode of marketplace and see what effect that is having how business is starting to be Conducted here in Canada. On a sidenote, interesting, how CBC picks and chooses the ones you can comment on.

It's cold, dark, boring, and everyone must learn to field dress a moose! Your wealth is measured by how many beaver balls you have in your freezer! The best sport in Canada is hockey, and the 2nd is the Iditarod (don't ask) yet these fools call thier national sport lacrosse, LACROSSE, has anyone ever amitted to watching a game of lacrosse? It's a beautiful country, but you'll need big cahone's to see it because there's all kinds of bear, huge packs of hungry wolves, a thing called a wolverine , which is a cross between a wolf and a porcipine???, and moose infected by mad cow disease, so F--k that! The beer is undrinkable, they eat curds, whatever that is, and every fall everyone eats fat and maple syrup to bulk up for winter! Sex isn'i for pleasure, it's to stay warm,............... Oh ya, their national anthem is beautiful and I like them, well most of them!
