Yikes, Canada is screwed.??

They come here because it is easier to enter the USA through the Canadian border. I have lived in Canada for 755+ years and think that the average quality of life, in Canada, is pretty darn good. If the young lady is so unhappy here, then she should go somewhere else. Question to the young lady - how many other places have you lived?

Well done Canada now you are pretty fcked up ?

Brampton - the @$$hole of Canada

I beg to differ - yes, you can blame the immigrants, as they're the root of the housing affordability crisis both in Canada and in the United States. We seem to have mass immigration simply for the sake of having it. If we really needed cheap labor, we could have guest worker programs, or allow in only people who intend to do menial labor. Instead, everyone gets in, including a lot of criminals who reduce the quality of life, as well as others who are just taking up space and making life a hell of a lot more expensive for the rest of us.

England like Germany the United States and Canada won't put up with gangs of hudlums and punks who try to enforce sharia law on the citizens of host countries for much longer we know how to deal with this foolishness

Canada should run the same system as the Middle East and Dubai ..you can come there to work ..but never be a citizen of the country or have the same rights as locals and if you commit a crime ..your on the next plane back to your country ??

lol this is false, Canada receives hundreds of thousands of migrants every year

Canada brings in immigrants to poorer non profitable (not paying taxes because not contributing) neighborhoods for clean up! Why because immigrants such as Indians are eagar to work and are entrepreneurs if no work is available providing more work which revives the neighborhood which in turn is profitable to the Canadian government $$. Also Indian immigrants are smart! and educated! \nThe Canadian government isn’t stupid bringing in immigrants it adds to the governments income for the future! It will also probably pay for the homeless and your drug addicts!

I'd be careful about mentioning an increase in immigration as a source of a problem here without providing any evidence of how that's specifically harmful. \n\nYes, we have an influx in international students - often underinformed young people scouted by private companies in places like India who are gravely mislead on what to expect once arriving in Canada. International students specifically are facing tons of injustice and being used as cash cows by companies and our government, since international tuition is much higher than domestic tuition. \n\nBut right now, skilled immigrants are helping build our cities back up. It takes a lot of people to plan, design and build infrastructure, to repopulate failing systems (cough cough, healthcare), etc. We're in a recession and individual industries are struggling a lot right now - but not because of immigrant workers. In fact, they are picking up slack, taking jobs no one else wants to do, and keeping the gears of our society turning.

What canada is a country i thought is a side chick of USA ?

I remember visiting Canada and trying to get a cell phone data plan, it was imposible as a tourist without any Canadian documents. I ended up paying like $70 usd for 4GB of data with Roger which was insane. Now I just cross US/Canada border and bring my Starlink with me. The things I love about Canada is the dog friendly National Parks and the landscapes. Prices have gotten out of hand ?

Canada is not a superb place to live but it's better than malaysia with it's Federal Territories Islamic Religious Department (JAWI) it's a religious police \nSingapore is the place i would go IF I COULD .... i have stayed in both countries

90% of Canada is virtually untouched since the days of Colonialism. The small areas that are developed or connected to developed regions are mimicking the horrors of bad American economic policies which have made life extremely expensive and hostile. To top it all off one of the major economic hubs primary languages is fusion of French and as we all know, no one likes the French. /s

Should’ve stopped immigration from Asian and south Asian countries in the 1990s could’ve saved Canada… I’ma Canadian born indian and saying this.

So i was born and raised in Canada and a visible minority.and have lived in brampton i wont lie brampton/canada is india i lived here for over 30 yrs. And 40yrs in Canada, which dosent except me nor dose my ethnic community. SO WHATS NEW.

Hello, i lived in Brampton for years and grew up mostly there. Mostly white people then, a few Punjabi's but not too many. Do not live in ?? Canada anymore. Glad i dont live there anymore. Never seen homeless rarely 20+ years ago.\nUnited States is probably worse now.

As a indigenous born and raised I'm planning on leaving Canada I feel unwelcome and a stranger here besides I always loved America anyways lol

As a young Canadian, it is beyond frustrating to live in Canada and I have no hope for living here in the future.

Canada? More like New India...

Quality of the Indian crowd has deteriorated since I left Canada in 2017. Educated Indian people are leaving Canada because they are struggling to make ends meet due to lack of opportunity in Tech and many other fields. Do you think that they are going to work in odd jobs? On top of that they get these for free: extremely cold weather, lower wage and crazy inflation. Its good that people are exposing Canada and only crude, uneducated and raw Indian crowd that is coming and settling here. Your politicians and education system deserve to be blamed. Your colleges and universities betrayed International students who wanted to work in their own field of choice by promising them every possible help. Unfortunately most of the students realize this only after living there for a few years. By that time your universities and colleges have already gulped the money paid by the international students. They don't care if you die on streets or remain homeless or go back to your own country. STOP COMPLAINING.

They are coming to visit visa then they cross Canada border to us border but immigration officer don't see them how come and everyone applying fake documents with fake asylum sad

How best can you advise someone right now who is in the process of wanting to come to Canada

If it continues, there won't be any country for white people in 10 years. Already today you couldn't say that France, England or Canada is a white country without being called out.

I guess its going to be the future tech hub of Canada.

They separate Indian and Punjabi because Sikhs want to establish a separate country named Khalistan in Canada

I just met a couple from Canada. They see the flaws but won't move to the US. It's also expensive to live here but you have to pay for other expenses like health care out of pocket. They don't want to live somewhere that every nut job can have guns, where schools are failing to teach basics and are not safe places for kids. I feel like many Americans will point out the splinter in the eye of other countries, and yet ignore the rafter in America's eye. People from other countries don't fear America because it has the most powerful military, they fear it because insanity continues to grow and common sense continues to die.

Why Toronto is ruined today and Brampton is hole-and why 70 years ago Toronto was the polite goldmine of Canada. Its only going to go downhill from here. Now we have massive debt, super high tax city

Oh come on! There are still many Asians immigrating to Canada.

Canada is a bit better but going downhill -- I'm a Brit and lived in both and wouldn't go back to either of them .. \nYou personally will HATE the depressing overcast weather ten months of the year

nah wanted terrorist and criminal in India are getting easy Canadian visa are happy to live in Canada .its only common hard working citizens who are facing problems

Problems with a multicultural morass that the Liberals created......Trudeau wants canada to become a Post-Nation.....no identity, this is just the beginning, keep voting Liberal you Canadian traitors!

i remember when Canada used to be the most respected place in north America

VANCOUVER BC CANADA - my home since 1972 , I used to work up North underground mining - drilling / blasting for 8+ months and then take the summer off \nand play golf and have fun - you can go to the beach and skiing on the mountains all on the same day - 1st came the Mass Immigration from Asia where Real Estate \nPrices 2 X and 3 X - Now ever thing here only the rich can afford - We have close to 5000 people homeless as 1 bedroom starts at $2000 a month if you can \nfind one - most people have to share . MEANWHILE 1+ Million new comers - New Voters are given food , shelter , spending money and some will be on Welfare \nfor life as many lack language skills and have little education = $$$ BILLIONS $$$ TAX PAYERS MONEY DISAPPEARS - TIME TO BRING IN THE MILITARY !

Its not only canada. All around the world people are struggling with that shiting life we're living. We are stucked. No money to buy a house, or anything. No pespective to get more money. Even with a good degree and speaking 3 languages.

The next elections is in 2025, I hope the conservatives win, corruption has taken over my countries government, just writing this might pose me a risk. \nWho truly knows anymore, oh Canada how I hope you’re glorious once more.

pierre get in there and make canada liveable again

Sorry Canada. This sucks

There are tens of thousands of Americans moving to Canada every year and most Canadians moving here are not necessarily because they are dissatisfied with Canada. I know lots of Canadians in California who moved here because it's warmer and they tired of the cold. In fact, I have never met a Canadian who said things are worse in Canada than here. All of them think Canada has a better healthcare, education system, nicer people, better government... \nIt's true they have housing problems but it's not like we don't have that here in the US! I'm pretty sure it's worse.

Why have you come to Canada?

Canada is going down the tubes. Time to vacate this shithole.

Vancouver and Toronto are not even remotely representative of all of Canada. That’s like claiming New York housing represents all of America. Whole world economy is struggling, just be patient.

Make Canada Canadian again

Even in the 90s I remember you could say that Canada was a white Christian country and everyone would agree.

Me:*lives in canada*

The description of Canada, high cost of living, monopolies, high cost of housing, declining health care...is exactly the same as Australia...as all those things are also happening in Australia...

You are wrong about the U.S, Canada is a reflection of the U.S. hypercapitakism and liberal policies. The U.S market are ruled by oliglarchy and monopolies who buy off politicians to pass policies to further enrich them. Market share is owned by just a handful of corporations.

I lived in canada for past 35 years. I am married with 3 kids. I work like a dog 60 hrs a week , i pay heavy taxes on my salary soo the government can give away hard tax payers money to people who scam the system. Examples are walfare and ontario works. I know people that get $1350 minimum on odsp and they are more than capable of working but choose to scam the sysytem collect free money and work cash jobs for less money and take away jobs from others. Hate this country now and cant wait to leave and shift else where were i can happily retire and watch my kids grow up and spend time with my family since everything in canada is soo expensive i have to work overtime and my wife also started working part time?

Bullshit. Canada needs more imigrants and more free capitalism.

Just look at exchange rates between Australia, New Zealand and Canada. Aussie is soring against the latter two which have been destroyed under successive socialist governments resulting in net emigration away from them. Australia, with its centre left, is doing slightly better, at least people are still coming here, but the telltale signs are there as people are fleeing overpriced Sydney which is the immigration hotspot here.
