“It’s simple economics”, coming from an amateur economics is hilarious. \n\nYou point out rent hiking, but instead of blaming over-concentration in the housing market, you pull a total 180 and blame immigrants?\n\nMake a video of all the empty houses in America. Look up the change in the proportion of national income going to landowners. look up the change in demographics of landowners since Oil Crisis of 70s/Reagan.

i dont blame the people who immigrated i blame my own government ;(

U r admitting and showing d drug addicts. What else can destroy them.dont blame immigrants if they wouldn't have been there... Brampton would have been a drug den.

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.

Love how yall blame immigrants or liberals but in reality its big realty companies who are backed by usually right wing lobbyists. Soooo maybe yall should start with rent control where landlords are legally required to be reasonable with rent. And to have these realty companies stop playing a game of monopoly with other human lives

Blame it on Trudy all you want, I've been feeling the crunch since 2008...

If the Arab world is to take ALL INNOCENTS PALESTINIANS , then Egypt gate will be PERMANENTLY SHUT and GAZA will be PERMANENTLY ILEGALLY ARPHETEID OCCUPIED by natanyahu.this is the trick by israel and west to pressure and blame arabs to allow israel to displace palestinian.

I love the right wing boomer nutcases who keep crying about affordability all while owning 2 homes and 3 rental properties....news flash, the govt doesnt decide how overinflated housing costs get, you asshole landlords who dont give two shits about folks having affordable housing are the ones to blame.

turns pretty xenophobic around 4minutes in. When in fail, blame the immigrants huh?

Lmao. NOT EVEN OTHER ARABS WANT PALESTINIANS. I dont blame them, look at their history.

Don't forget to blame the Jews

..yeah blame it on the immigrants, that's a BS excuse, that's not the immigrants' fault, almost all of them are migrated legally and accepted by the government and most of them work there so they earn their keep and benefit society same as Canadians citizens, so blaming the immigrants for taking up all the housing is wrong.

let's blame immigrants, but not real estate speculation, and few companies owning almost all the properties

Lmfao yes blaming immigrants for white people being drug addicts and homeless ????

Muslims are not happy in the Gaza or Iran. They're not happy in Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria, Pakistan, Lebanon and Bahrain.\nWhere they feel happy?\nMuslims are happy in Australia. They're feeling happy in the UK, France, Italy and Germany. They are happy in Sweden, United-States, Norway and all other non-Muslim countries.\nWho they blame their sadness on?\nThey blame it neither on Islam nor their Muslim leaders and not themselves.\nThey blame it on the countries in which they feel happy, and they want to change those countries to be more like their own countries where they were not happy at the first place

Yes true. Being immigrants i didnt see the equal ratio rather its just Indian. But they brag that they are brain..i dont find that. But it's also to blame white cultures who live alone, and not living together in family bond progressing.

So first I am not Indian but if the natives can’t get off their arses to get a job or develop their own businesses then they can’t blame the immigrants to leap frog them into a better lives so moaning about this self inflicted misery and the Canadian ?? government should make local a priority to develop rather than importing immigrants into the country if they can’t develop their own native population..

Don't blame indian blame canadian who not doing 8,9 hour jobs

Blame Indians for moving to Canada like Canada hands out million dollars. Indians flooded Canada and messed up everything.

ah yes let's blame Trudeau for COVID inflation and landlords inflating rental prices ~ great take /s

We are so fked up. Blame the politicians....bring in more Europeans before it's too late

You cant blame the cop. He was doing his job... Plus sikhs do use these swords to fight in Temple elections

I was thinking of doing my Masters in Computer Science in Canada but thankfully I didn't. Just after my decision Covid started. Thank god I chose to stay in India and got a job. Also not to mention the killing of so many Indians in Canada. It is not even safe for us to go there considering the terrorism.\n\nEdit - I also never saw Canadians complaining about Trudeau. The people support him! You can't blame Trudeau after electing him so many times. The fault is in the people and Trudeau's policy to support khalistani terrorists for Vote banking.

lol, blame the immigrants… very “American” of you

Blame Trudeau, he’s the reason why there are so many here. Trudeau just lets anyone into the country these days and look at Canada now, it’s like mini India.

TOO MANY INDIANS, IS IT A BAD THING?\nWHY NO IMMIGRANTS ARE HOMELESS EVEN THO THEY COME WITH NO MONEY BECAUSE THEY WORK HARD, THEY DON'T SPEND MONEY ON DRUGS. \n\nWHY EMPLOYERS HIRES IMMIGRANTS, THEY WORK HARD , AND NO MONDAY MORNING SICK CALLS EVERY WEEK.\n\nABOUT ADAPTING CALTURE, \nINDIAN BELIEVE IN STICK WITH THERE ROOTS NO MATER WHERE THEY GO.\n(DOES BRITISH ADAPT INDIAN CULTURE WHEN THEY WERE IN INDIA FOR 200 YEARS??)\n\nALSO NEXT TIME TALK TO SOME EDUCATED PEOPLES WITH JOBS IS WELL.\nHOMELESS ARE ALWAYS PISSED OF ON SOMETHING, PEOPLE LIKE TO BLAME OTHERS FOR THEIR PROBLEMS.

TRUDEAU IS TO BLAME...HIM AND ONLY!\nSHOP AT NATIONS OR OCEANS Asian grocers. best prices and value.. Put the Westons out of business

Just lol at those immigrant girls blaming landlords for the rent price when they are a large part of the problem.\nJust funny how they come here just to hate on it. Still better than where they came from ffs (not for long I suppose).

Dot blame the Indians… Blame your politicians!

Hated every time Canada voted in Trudeau and his Liberal govt. He's flipped this country in so many ways in the last 10 years. All changes made the country worse. Actually, blame Toronto voters for voting him in again and again. Western Canada has always voted against him.

Yeah, i blame devisive politics that spill over from the US, as well as foreign interference. It's pretty clear that people are pushing divides. Blaming JT for inflation caused by global markets and exacerbated by Trump and covid is just silly.

2 things: (1)How are Indians to be blamed for the white people homelessness and alcohol/drug use. (2) Since when did Canada belong to the white man? Never was , never is! This land belongs to the Indigenous people, and immigrants build Canada. Everyone is immigrants here, all white skin , French , Indian etc (excepy the Indigenous people). So spred love and unity in this Diversity known as Canada. There are always a majority of races in every city, and that should not raise any questions of racism and judgemental remarks. Instead, focus on drug use , homelessness, and crimes.\n\nAlso, I notice mention of so many Hindu phobia remarks and racism comments in this video as if Hindus are attacking and causing harm on the country or world by extension. Indians come to Canada and bring with them knowledge, culture, values, ethics, money and things that uplift and adds value to Canada, they dont come free and ask for any handout and live on taxpayers money! FACTS IS FACTS , do the research.

Jeep Wranglers, Dodge Challengers, and car thefts, that’s what comes to my mind when I think about Brampton. Canada is dead, blame Trudeau and Steven Harper.

The liberals are to blame

There are some valid points in the video. However, I didn't get it when you said there are people here who don't look Canadian and don't feel Canadian. Punjabi Sikhs from India have been part of Canada since the early 1900s, and alot more came in the 1970s.... So the sikhs have been part of Canada for a long time... Now, coming back to immigration point, blame the federal govt. and not the people.... I have alot points on why Indian people live in Brampton but..... I feel like it would easy to explain in a face to face conversation.

Video titles like this are so stupid. Especially when in the video itself it speaks to the vacancy rate. Why is rent so high? Because the vacancy rate is so low which proves that A LOT of people want to live in Canada. The video itself speaks to NIMBYism and municipal government’s slow reaction to accommodate construction. The only thing the Feds did is to allow more people that want to be Canadians to have a chance. Low wages and the high cost of products are the fault of greedy corporations. Those people leaving and can no longer stay in Canada is the result of natural selection. I get that everyone is struggling, and feel that we need someone to blame. Since we can’t control our neighbours that stop progress and the corporations that gouge us, as a democracy, we go after what we do control- our government- even if the problem isn’t really of their creation. This issue of affordability is happening all over the world. Corporations and those who run them disproportionately keep all the money. But that doesn’t mean that Canada isn’t a great place to live and raise a family. It’s a huge country. The only thing the Feds can do is incentivize companies to set up shop in less desirable places and eleviate demand off of Vancouver and Toronto (the usual suspects and source for all those rental shortage b-rolls). Then, the neighbours in Moose Jaw will start complaining that their town is changing too fast.

Are you blaming indians for white canadians addiction issues? Hmmm

Wow. Racist propaganda. Let's all blame the brown people, shall we?

white people: I don't want to be racist and blame t-\n\nindian people: yeah theres too many indians here\n\nLOL!

This is World wide not just in Canada or America ! Look out side and you will find this is in Every 1st world Country . Because of the monopolizing of everything . We the Consumers pay the price !! and think one Person is the Blame this is foolish Look at your self and ask am I taking the path of least resistance ? Electing the Liars because they say nice thing get you in bed and in the morning now your money is gone and you are left with the bill !! We are being manipulated by our own biases based on our political systems ( Nothing is Free ) !! The Tax payer has toy pay the bill one-way or the other But not the Monopoly's ? . We all have the power to take back the system . we just have to Elect the people that will fight for you and not the Corporations .

I'm a truck driver, my old workplace was about 80% Indian. The break room smelled like fish everyday it was horrible!!! Jokes aside there's a lot of Chad Indians, they come here to work and that's ALL they do. Literally nothing else, just work, pray and sleep. Nothing wrong with that but companies have started to expect you to work for nothing and work like 65 hour weeks because they have an endless stream low-income workers from India to do it. I don't blame them for the lack of good gigs but I do blame companies for exploiting newcomers to Canada and modelling their business on the fact they can hire temporary workers

It's pretty stupid, silly to blame any government , this is a world wide problem, it's big corporations and hedge funds and municipalities creating the housing shortage and affordability. Manr provinces allow buildings turn into condos thus creating shortages and price inreases

I'm a Canadian citizen with permanent residence in the states. You're delusional of you think it's any better here. I'd rather be in Canada where I don't go into debt for breaking my leg, because the housing and other things the video is saying is just as bad here.\n\nAlso think it's weird that the video starts with immigrants are leaving Canada but then immediately blames them for the rising housing market? Which is it? Are they leaving or are they staying buying homes? It can't be both.

I agree that Canada is doing mindless immigration....but its not just Indians...you are only referring to one city...there are some parts of Canada dominated by chinese...some parts dominated by other asian countries..some parts dominated by arabs/islamic countries.. ....so don't try to create harted against one race...even Indians who are immigrating now are surprised after landing in Canada....many are going back..Canada has detoriated in last 10 years...blame the Trudeau government for their shitty policies....and NDP leaders and other politicians are bringing the so called third world problems into Canada and working with an agenda instead of working for Canadians....blame those....welcoming international students is scam by Canada...many are falling prey to this scam and spoiling their life

We all like to blame liberals for this, and rightly so. However, most of the issues described in this video didnt start with liberals and will not end with the conservatives. Both parties have been robbing canada. Mr. PeePee isnt any better than Mr.Turd

So when a burglar invade your home you will blame the burglar or your neighbour. \nAnd what will police has to do, get rid of the burglar or convince the neighbour to give a room for the victims.

Stop bringing in immigrants then and then watch your economy crumble. Canada has no problem bringing in immigrants who work hard, do all the long haul trucking and work all the jobs etc people born in Canada don’t want to do. Blaming immigrants for problems is as old white supremacy and racism in this country. The story of Building this country off of the back of new immigrants is as old as the railroad that built this country all done by Asian labour.\n\nPeople born in Canada also don’t want to have kids. Our birth rate is much lower than the US and other western countries. A high birth is the lifeblood of an economy and the future of a country. \n\nWhite people who are homeless and drug addicted is somehow the fault of immigrants? What a stretch. Brampton always has had white trash going back to the 1980s. I find it funny when the trashiest white people interviewed are calling immigrants a problem LOL. As if they were adding anything to the country other than drinking molson Canadians and smoking cigarettes all day in their garage like King of the Hill and spending their welfare check on drugs and beer.\n\nThe real problem with immigration is that the housing targets haven’t kept up. I feel bad for people who are living on the street and hopeless. This isn’t only a Brampton problem this is a problem across the country. If there’s anything this video highlights it’s the low housing issue and the targets set by the government. \n\nThis country will always need immigrants to support it. The key is to make sure we have the infrastructure in place to support everyone and that’s not the fault of people aka immigrants who come to this country and are told life is good here. It’s a problem of city planners and politicians who aren’t doing their job properly.

well, there was the wave of immigrants that came to Canada from Europe, and pushed out the indigenous, and established the christian way of living, including christian churches all over the country. So, we are now seeing another wave of immigration. I think we need to put this in context of history. This is simply natural evolution and time to figure out a way to work together, get along etc.... Don't blame all issues on immigration, this is a narrow myopic view.

sad af....our politicians are to blame

Canada is very beautiful country honestly they tried! However I feel the pain of African travelers truly It's sad. All the blame must go to for sooo called African politicians/leaders. They're the problem! GOD blessed the continent but there is no caring leaders their greed is leading Africans to live their country. Canada is trying to protect their citizens also who are already in the country claimed refuge. As you know there's shortage of shelters and house rent is expensive. GOD help everyone Amen!
