Theres a homeless guy I see whenever he is outside the Shoppers I go to. We'll chat for a bit and I also have at least $5 on me and an extra pack of smokes for him. Not much but Its at least something.

So, what, you think Piere is going to do something about it.

Can’t remember the last time I bought something that said made in Canada

When I migrated to Canada 30 years ago, this was a different country. This country could integrate foreigners without causing problems for the native people here. It was a moderate number of between 200 to 300 thousand for a population of 30 million The problem is that Canada has more people over 65 years old than young people, subtracting the number of born about 320 vs 220 who die every year, there would be no population growth that could pay for the retirements of the retired people and immigration in the correct numbers was something positive for the economy the problem is a broken immigration system too many without infrastructure and let me tell you a lot of them arrive and in less than a year they leave I think that Canada should not receive anyone anymore for the next 20 years until it fixes houses crisis

No it’s not true there are plumbers and electricians to do that only thing you have to pay but as you were tenant so landlord will pay I am living in a rented apartment and everything is covered u don’t pay for anything if something goes wrong.

Canada doesnt bounce back from this Canada is history. The country we live in today is something else entirely.

As someone who's not too far from Toronto, not only am I ashamed, but you're seeing this almost everywhere around here. It's honestly heart breaking. Where I live, you used to never see anyone homeless, now they're at every intersection. Something needs to be done. My heart breaks for these people, regardless of situation.

I’m muslim arab alhamudlilah but this is wrong, my opinion is sharia is the best law to be applied it doesn’t care about your feelings it cares about getting people in line, and one of the rules of sharia is respecting the laws of the people of the land you live in which these guys are apparently not following, yes there’s hypocrisy in London when they give Jews their own police and hospitals and appliance of their Jewish law but the Jews have won by grabbing every powerful persons balls in the west so they can do whatever they want unlike you being who thinks being loud is gonna get you what you want. and for westerners who are angry in the comment section about their laws being changed I say you know what it feels like now for someone else to lecture you about laws and how wrong they are, so now so stop lecturing the Middle East about changing they’re laws to something that suits your western criteria.

As an Arab I would like to say, f* that!!! And help them!! To the Arab leaders of all Arab countries, but I know bc of the media and ignorance around the world, that the second they do something , even if it's just to protect and not to attack, that it's like a threat for war to the world

First of all why are mobile phones even allowed into the embassy? Moreso at the counter..This woman is just being smart, she must have said something that ticked the offical off. I am sure there will be CC cam recording of this episode. She must have said something negative about India while wanting the Visa.

Beauraucrats are selling out the citizens that really need help...diploma mills....it's all about profits...hard working citizens are getting priced out on everything...it's happening in the U.S.A as well..something is going to give eventually!!

Hypocrite are like this only speak something and action something else.

This is the issue, when you make the men and women weak in a country it’s easy to take over, in this case it’s an inside out job,, they come in take jobs houses and eventually the country, and Canadians are displaced.. well Trudeau step up and do something!

Would never move to Florida or anywhere in USA reason 1) health care 2)Freedom I have never had people yell racial slurs at me from down the street and don’t get me started on the guns over there . 3)working rights YOU GET PAID vacations here in Canada YOU get paid maternity leave you get Paid sick days Worker rights gets taken more seriously in Canada Retail workers don’t work in a state holiday you get extra pay. Prejudice there is less of it here sure there are people that are jerks but it’s not full blown. There is a viral story about a grocery store that was left unlocked accidentally on a holiday and nothing was stolen . Politeness this is something I have a feeling that lots of people in Canada like to say thwy are on the service but tenth the service not so much . Look what happens during Covid all the niceness went out the door .

Vancouver is even worse. It's BAD. The government needs to do something.

I thought Calgary was ? Am I missing something ?

I don't understand how the first man who spoke complaining about everything is not able to get a job on his own or do something instead of blaming immigrants, immigrants are the ones who do the dirty jobs that Canadians don't want to do, but still complain...If you are in that situation it is by personal decision, we all go through shitty moments sometimes and that doesn't mean we have to become resentful drug addicts of society, if you want a change it starts with you!

As a muslim I THOUGHT WE ARE UNITED WHEN SOMETHING BAD WILL HAPPEN OUR ARAB KHALIFA WILL GONA SAVE US BUT THEY ARE DOING NOTHING INSTEAD OF WATCHING AND MAKING HAPPY THIER WESTERN PEOPLE THATS WHY IM NOT PRACTISING AS A MUSLIM MY IMAAN IS REALLY FADDING

My man saw one Tyler Oliveira video and decided to do the exact same thing. Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoyed it, especially that it’s in Canada which does something that Tyler does not. It’s just all the same things… Same format, same thumbnail, same demeanour, same expressions, he almost has the same coat…\n\nEdit: I actually found that they both started at around the same time, I don’t know who the OG one is, which makes my comment somewhat wrong.

they should all get togather and march to ottawa and camp their untill they do something abt it

Canada is still the easiest and cheapest to for international students to enter. Most of my friends are indian international students and although its been all over the news over there that canada isnt a good place to live anymore people still go for canada because its easiest. Hopefully something changes because this has been my home most of my life.

i live in toronto real reson is the mayor can do something but she wont there r buildings in my area they wont use for the homeless

His moustache reminds me of something ?

This peter guy is truly something else.just listen to him. He's ungrateful, LAZY and feels he's entitled. talking about the system that he paid for, like other people who dont look like him haven't and dont contributed to it. every working immigrant to ?? have to pay the same taxes as every born canadian. most of us have to work 2,3 jobs, work that you would never be caught dead doing. while we are working on our day offs in our spare time ur on your vacation, at ur cottage drinking, fishing, hunting, golfing & so on. its not enough that the system is in every way to & for ur benefit, you now want to be housed and fed

I was moving back to Edmonton in October 2023 and the vacancy rate was 0.0001% the apartment I got, if i did not take it (the area is so rough) I would have had to stay with a friend and hoped and prayed that in November more people were moving so something else could/would become available. \n\nThen I talked to everyone in this building. Once the 1 year lease is up they months rent 250$ so they suck you into a an apartment where homeless are sleeping in the laundry room smoking meth for $1000 and then up the rent to 1250$ and the area is like the ones you were exploring. If anyone knows Edmonton it’s a block off 118 ave or Alberta Avenue. And I work at the Royal Alexandra Hospital (inner city) it’s heart breaking ?. It was always bad but since moving to the country in 2020 and coming back late 2023 the decline is devastating. Even a very close friend of mine went from packing her kids lunches, working casually (when they needed) as a janitor at Edmonton public school board to staying at salvation Army and it getting full to living in Tent City. She had to make her way to Calgary for shelter. ?

This gentleman is presenting real media at its best. Something sorely lacking in Canada now.

If you want that weight to be lifted then do something to lift that weight instead of opening Saudi to Luxury boxing matches and prostitution. The 2 holy places of our religion is turning either to a graveyard or a capital of entertainment. Instead of hosting these fights and setting up entertainment events focus on helping Palestinians and show Israel who the messed with!

Keep your religious weapons at home. It’s not for display in public like you’re something special. Learn to cooperate and live with civility in a society

Don't cover stuff you know nothing about. That stuff under the bridge is something to someone. Be a little more humble when doing coverage over stuff like this. Think twice when you speak and have a little more kindness for the homeless.

even canadian medical system is getting worse and worse. \nwalk in clinic doctors dont wanna see patients \nI visited 3 different walk in clinics and they all said no\nWhen i visited Toronto one homeless guy tried to hit me, boyfriend and our friend. \nthe homelss guy told us to leave his park so we did and 5 mins later the same homeless guy was hitting one of the bikers in the driving lane. All the other bikers started to punching the homeless guy and started kicking him brought him to the opposite side walk and kept hitting him. seriously, canada's becoming very dangerous even in Vancouver being very much ghetto place.\n\nI think the PM should be focusing fixing Canada instead of getting more people in. When most of the middle class citizens are becoming more of a poor class. There's no balance in the country. Middle class is now poor class and I dont know what poor class is anymore. The rent is fucking crazy cant buy anything seriously organic lemon is over 5 dollars i mean i dont eat anything organic but this is crazy. especially when you try to buy something like a coffee the workers want you to pay at least 20% tip and if you dont they fucking glare at you. I really wanna leave Canada i dont wanna live here anymore. Its getting dangerous every day. More killing, theft, scams its so disgusting. 20 years ago was so nice. even though it was still expensive at least everyone wasnt mad at each other.\n\nYou should do Vancouver theres so much tents in the parks police officers dont do anything. Those people who needs to stay in the mental hospital doesnt get those help they're out in the streets.

There are no jobs, people are freaking out, we are living in a third world economy in Canada.\n\nHouse price is absurd, and this all happened so fast that it scares me, we are only 38m ppl, less than cali, and we managed to screw that bad already?\n\nIf something is not done soon Canada will be a third world country in less than 2 decades, don’t take that lightly I am not exagerating

Many ways we could go about fixing this crisis. Obviously heavily limiting immigration would help, banning all diploma mills that are just student visa scams. Forcing municipalities to get rid of their awful zoning and restrictive rules, could be streamlined by running a nationwide referendum to make zoning a federal jurisdiction and not provincial/municipal and then just adopt something similar to japanese zoning nationwide. Banning or heavily restricting Airbnbs is an other thing that would help. A lot of what the BC NDP with Eby is doing should be done nationwide for sure. Regarding all the homeless people, we could offer them a job to build infrastructure, houses in exchange for a bed and food, something akin to what was done in the New Deal. Could be a super efficient way to get something like high speed rail built quickly. It'd be a contract they'd sign for 5-10 years and at the end of the deal they get compensation for the work they did. Also not every homeless can live in society. When conservatives got rid of institutions like mental asylums, all the people with non fixable conditions got thrown in the streets. Those are people who just can't, regardless of how much we do to help them, live in society, but their people like us so a modernized, humane version of the mental asylums would help a ton not just for these people, but also their family members who'd know that their kid or sibling is somewhere safe.

Guys talking about getting the boots in the head he must’ve did something but again in life, or go back to where it came from.

It’s too late ? we’re here now and will vote liberal till the day we die lul we make up 30 percent of the population and hold close ties with the feminists either do something for us or enjoy watching another 1.5 million immigrants come in peace out losers….

It is like this every where,Romania,Germany,France,u.s.a.Canada.you better do something about uncontrolled immigrants and refugees

don't make just dialogues, do something for Palestinian brothers and sisters

Watch Trudeau win next election because of mass immigration. Watch what happens. Will be something cool I bet.

We don't need more Uber, Skip or cab drivers or pretengineers with Master's degrees from U of Deli or some other unknown school who don't know s**t. Presently we have an unending supply of cheap labor entering the country under the falsehood of 'student' meanwhile wages remain stagnant and the lifestyle quality has dropped. Pay workers higher wages and you will get them. McD's is a sh*t job so it's for school kids to get a taste of where you don't want to be in 10 years. Stop your BS that the cost of McF-u meals will go up. Corporations have no interest other than to shareholders because they are legally obligated to have their interests in mind and will just pass the costs on. Rents increased for a number of reasons (idiots willing to overpay for something and then pass that on) and one being the market will bear it especially when you have an audience willing to split rent 25 ways. Most real Canadians cannot fathom the idea of 24 roommates...in other parts of the world, this is luxury living, running hot water, foodbanks...you can still afford the tweaked Honda ala stovepipe muffler, tinted windows that make it harder to see people on the inside...yeah safe idea fellas. Then there are the sword fights in Brampton? What f*** ing country is this??

Do they not have any kind of education system in India that teaches something other than polluting the Ganges and how to get to Canada?

Next big youtuber right here;) In all seriousness, this is such a big problem. Something needs to be done.

I can't help thinking that it is part of a bigger plan since the Liberals are part of the WEF and they are totally not even caring about something that is so blatant. Maybe with the assisted death agenda and Canadians not able to have children it is a way of bringing in immigrants from third world and war refugee countries.

My personnel experience is a lot of people who are citizens and are Lazy. Wine and moan like children for money and hours. They go to college or university and need money for tuition and books. Don't care about job because they will take of and do something better. Or go home to where they grew up. Jobs are being sold out to machines and robots and computers. Go to a store and there is a machine to check out you're purchase because it is cheaper to run than a person. No vacations no time and a half and no Holidays. No Union.

I am 59, white Canadian born, self employed, no employees, and in the Toronto area. I can't hire an employee, the skills are just not there. What I do requires a high level of technical skill across a wide range of technologies. Also good verbal and interpersonal skills. I also feel like I can't trust most of who might apply, based on previous experiences. Morals and ethics are simply not visible. And now I can't retire and move back to my hicksville hometown as house prices have gotten to the point where it would be stupid to buy something, it's not possible to make those kinds of mortgage payments. Fun times.

The rot has set in...something has to give!!!!

Palestinian leadership has been given opportunities to allow their people to live on their land and they always say no or blow something up. If you care about Palestinian freedom, then advocate for better leadership.

And why dont u do something about it ?

Those Venezuelans expect too much!!! They come here acting like we owe them something especially if they have kids. Whose kids are they???

I have seen many indian officials in india and almost all of them are not quick to anger. Even if they are bad mouthed or accosted . That is level of their training. \n\n Even if they are corrupt, they will not loose cool. They will smile all along. Which is more unnerving. \n\nThis embassy officials would have best training as part of IFS so that's why it is shocking to see lose him his patience.\n\nYes PPL in comments are right. There is no proper context in video that's why we should not jump conclusion.\n\nBut that is also true, if he is stressed and about to lose his composure. He should have taken leave and returned home. NOW THIS incident is part of his CR.\n\n If i speculate from my experiences in govt offices. This lady must be US citizen. She went for emergency visa and there might be some minor issues with documentation. \nAs the officer , donot have authority to ignore such issues. He would have asked for correction and lady who is already in distress due to fathers passing, must have said something wrong which might be reflective of her experiences when she was indian citizen. She donot know drastic changes happened in past 10-15 years.\n\n.This would have triggered this official. \nFor video, this lady became calm. Collected when official flew in rage.

Our hospitals and airports are loaded with immigrant workers and I find that distressing, is that d, e, i or bipoc or the other acronym I can’t quite remember s, g, i or something.

Mass immigration has something to do with Wef
