It's all over. We're becoming the minority in our own country, and I don't think that the Indian people here are interested in becoming a part of Canadian culture at all. At least not that I've ever seen. They keep to themselves. Nothing against them but that's what I see. It's hard to get to know many of them if they will only ever speak to you or speak English if they absolutely have to.

We have the same problem. I actually like the people, but….somehow, immigrants have managed to have been able to acquire the vast majority of retail jobs in our area. How is that possible? There are businesses and fast food chains with not one white person working as an employee. I spoke to a former worker that was at one of these businesses for years and asker her WTF happened? She told me that the company hired a new manager from India, within 6 months, half the staff were Indian, local students were not being hired for part time jobs, only Indians, by the end of the year, every single employee was Indian. \nShe along with other quit their jobs because….not because they’re racist, but because not only were they being treated differently than the now majority brown workers, but they were being made to feel excluded because…the manager and the new staff all spoke a different language, they would all work together in a group not speaking English at all, saying things and laughing making it pretty obvious that they were making fun of the white employees. The “manager” would ignore the white staff’s complaints and he would then seemingly punish them by giving them less hours, change their duties and give “the good shifts” to the new brown people to the point where the white people were made to feel alienated as well as cutting back their hours leaving them with not enough hours to make a living. “This is Canada Mother Fecker” these people need to speak our language when they’re in public or at the workplace with “Canadians” or…employers should fire them. I will note, that the A&W that this happened at, has changed not only by every single employee being brown, but the service is not near as friendly, they all speak to each other in a different language behind the counter.. the seating area is not even close to being clean, the tables usually are left with trays and garbage that aren’t being cleaned as customer leave. It so bad sometimes that I literally have to pick a dirty table and remove the garbage myself because every available table has not been cleaned….and the bathrooms …. I don’t even want to talk about it they’re so disgusting. And when you complain….they turn to other employees and speak a different language… so we have no idea about WTF they are actually doing or saying about the issue. “ Thank you Sir, we will take care of that.” And the next day…it was the same. I’ve stopped going there along with everyone that I know…our work crew along with our families can no longer support such a dirty, rude and disrespectful business.

This brother is speaking facts❤

Yet we are the racist ones! They come to Canada but only want to live within their own communities. They complain about Canada's traditions yet put up 50' statues of their gods. They bleed our social services while dodging taxes. Flood our schools with non english speaking kids, flood our country with endless children while bleeding our social services and Canadians can't afford their own children.

Walmart and Tim Hortons..who's serving ...can't speak English..you call Bell you get India..

Even tho most Canadians in the earlier years were mostly white, it was multicultural because they all came from many other countries and cultures. They still held on to their traditions but yet also formed a Canadian culture.\nTheir was a huge population of Chinese people too. They stuck together in large areas, many didn't speak english. Similar to Quebec maybe. They mostly spoke french and I remember a time when they didn't really like english speaking whites around. Seems like the premier would like it to stay that way. Protecting the culture. \nIn the 80's on the west coast I watched thousands of Sikh's and Punjabi's and similar move into large areas and take over many jobs in large companies. Lumber mills, rail yards, papermills and so on. I went to one job interview and outside the office window was a whole shift of people wearing turbans. Must have been 50 to a 100 of them. 3 years earlier when I toured that place in grade 12, it was all white people. What happened? That was around the time of the recession and jobs were getting scarce. The only people in line for job interviews were white people and the interviewers would not accept anyone without grade 12 and previous experience. Here is what I overheard as people were getting interviewed, Experience? No. NEXT. Experience? Yes. Graduate? No. NEXT!\nAfter 6 months of this I moved to oil country Alberta and Had 6 job call backs in the first day. At 2 to 3 times the pay I would have had in BC. Never looked back. But now that the industry has been attacked and the immigration has skyrocketed, Alberta is in decline.\nJust my 2 cents worth, and the people I mentioned back then, I have nothing against. I knew many and they were good people. \nBut the immigrants of today I feel to many are of another breed and not the same as before them.

You couldn’t find any white people that weren’t drunk and/or crackheads to speak with? ?

the amount of immigrants that have moved into my Small town Amherst NS has well surpassed us AmherstStonians that have lived here ! im a 37 year old white female born and raised Canadian that speaks English and everywhere i go there is a employee that doesnt understand what im saying, everywhere i look there is a place posted for rent thats overpriced & a business being sold to the wealthy , where the take the small town feel and what do these newcomers bring ?? nothing !!? they take from Canada & i wish they would go back to where they come from ! your not Canadian and u know it \nbut they prob don't understand my english right

I’m done being kind to my Timmy’s cashier, \nI will make her/him repeat what they say, what they ask, I will make them wait for my COMPLETE ORDER!!! \nIf you WONT speak basic English, you don’t belong in a Timmy’s window, \nSo frustrating!!! \nSame with PSW’s… or should I say Wanna-be! \nInternational students/ business owners are taking over in facilities \nLittle respect for our elderly, speaking in their own language in front of clients, phones out talking with family, \nIt’s embarrassing \nLack of basic skills is putting our elderly at risk, \nWhen I have to stop the basics of where to place straps for a sling lift because he/she has them wrong/ twisted, and the response? It’s okay’ \nNo!!! It’s not!!! \nI’m glad I’m at the end of my career, \nI’ll do my own MAID just to ensure I don’t end up in their care ?\nLazy, \nDumb\nDisappearing on shift to avoid work, \nI’m done!!! ?

I’ve said that many times in Ontario , I don’t feel I’m in my own country , when you go in stores many working there aren’t friendly , don’t acknowledge you speak over the PA. You can’t understand them when calling to work on tails are on the floor.. immigrants having taken over our country even on the streets , they don’t adapt to our country laws or way of living , it’s like being in the twilight zone . If we went to any of their countries we would have to go by their rules of law , we need to take our Canada back & keep our freedom . Our country is so broken because of liberal governing . Lost all confidence in their policies

I once applied for a teaching job at BCIT in Vancouver (Burnaby)... during the interview i was told that i needed to speak Punjabi.... im way too old for that i said...and walked out

Got the same going on further north of GTA east Indians starting spread up hear barrie and further. They have the same attitude ? its frustrating they can barely speak English and they have an attitude if we can't understand what there saying..they don't seem to have any interest in fitting into Canadian culture. And want to bring there way of living here .

Immigration is good when done correctly but with the majority of people who come here they do not want to be Canadian. They don't want to live with us. So many never talk English and they want to live with their people, they own way and pretend we don't exist and are living in their country in ours. It sucks working with people who can speak english but 95% of the time they only talk in their language. Then they mention your name as they arent speaking english. It\\'s a shitty feeling and a lot of them don't care.

I also can’t speak to anyone in customer service anymore anywhere and understand a thing they’re saying.\nCan you hire at least some people who speak proper English?

Real truth speaking these guys

Same thing in Hamilton. They are super loud on their phones, speak their language in coffee shops amongst employees, they completely took over the new Amazon plant. (Like 90% Indian or Pakis) I never used to be racist, but now I AM. Its a rape of our culture.

these canadians you speak of turn to drugs instead of God, thats where everything went wrong for them

Sault Ste Marie has had an influx of East Indian students in the last 8 years, and now thx to Trudeau, it looks like a suburb of India. Young Saultites now have to compete for jobs without success. Go to the local KFC where all the employees are East Indian and speaking a foreign language behind the counter. This is not my hometown. I celebrate and welcome diversity but this is overkill!

Also the pandering to the stupid french. Also express talent visa open permit asking Native speakers of English to do English test's is insulting when they are already graduate's. It's like asking Quebec people of they can speak french show me a test.

In my city (Windsor, Ontario) we have a college and university that have literally set up “recruitment” centres IN INDIA. I don’t blame the foreigners for coming here, they do it legally and honestly a bunch that I have talked to are struggling themselves.. I’m talking like, 12 guys to a small shared living space (which also negatively effects rent prices.. especially where I live) They expect to come here for a better life but they’re just thrown in the mix with those of us who are already drowning. \n\nThe government just stopped caring about its citizens and it’s really scary. They take the immigrants money and our taxes and they’re content.\nA friend was asked to leave a job fair because it was over capacity.. getting even a minimum wage job is damn near impossible now. \n\nAlso, question, I heard the reason that all minimum wage jobs (fast food restaurants, Walmart etc.) are only hiring Indians is because the government reimburses the employer half of their wage. I tried to do some research on this but couldn’t find anything.. is this true and being kept hush-hush? If it is, we need more people to speak out on this.

Retired,living in small town southern Ontario,pretty much same here.Banks,restaurants, EVERYWHERE,can hardly understand them,they hardly speak English,and get mad at a Canadian senior citizen when YOU can't understand them.

The guy speaks fine English and seems adequately qualified. He can get a decent job in Bangalore, hydrabad or gurgaon. The salary will be less but the purchasing power will be more. Why do people like migrate to Canada, I never get it.

Why does he speak American like a native American? Like a real real native American as if he is American agent or something

Racism and Western attitude towards people from south asia \nThey grow up listening to stereotypes and make an image of all people from south asia (sometimes it is East Asians, Middle Easterners etc)\nThe typical west mind is like people in these countries are less human beings (sub human to be precise) therefore they can be pushed and treated like shit \nThe way he is speaking to him is very much Treating him like shit and to him his value is SHIT \nWestern Racism

North Indian people look at this, this is called racist action... when you come to non hindi states, we just request you to learn and respect non hindi culture and language.. but you don't want.. you just want to impose your language on us ... that's why hindi speakers being beaten in non hindi states...\nAs a Indian, i also feel bad about this guy ... he can speak their language, he doesn't doing any criminal activity in their country but still he faced this type of situation..

Bro before you speak shit , think of his bicep size , with just a single slap your soul will leave your body in few seconds .

I CAN'T IMAGINE SOMEONE SPEAKING LIKE THIS.

1 day before i have also facing this in Pune, because not speaking of Marathi. Pune bus conductor not accepting my 20 money note and even not taking online payment and drop me out of bus. And I know because he knows i am not speaking Marathi that's why he is behaving with me like that...\nMuje shariff bankar rhana ab shi nhi lagta he or nahi mera ghussa shant hora he tabse

Remember the last elections he allowed non-Canadians to vote as long as they were for Liberals. Those were all Chinese temporary workers and students. Imagine that he leaves that for all the immigrant status people as well. The ones not speaking any english but being told who to vote for.

He knows if he speak anything jail awaits for him.

Damn I can tell you from his eyes he was mad like bull seeing red mad. Customer guy was lucky, he was where there is people or he is recording if not i am sure he would be lying in hospital. When he calmly held up his finger to stop him speaking. It meant he was holding in barely.

Funny how all the immigrants don't want other immigrants in Canada the only ones that need to speak are the Native Americans. your opinion doesn't count

Trudeau speaks out of both ends

All the illegals from the usa are flooding in ....right across the country all the shelters are over capacity, with undocumented people , and our locals cant get the help they need cause the government rather waste our money on immigrants who have no skill or speak English ...

These immigrants who move here , end up taking up all the jobs and only hiring their own kind ....if you speak perfect english and a born Canadian , you will not get hired ...

Majority of people who own property in Canada can barely speak english...its really insane.

Trudeau takes ownership of NOTHING. He always speaks of every scandal as if he had NOTHING to do with it. He looks around the room to find someone or something to throw under the bus. It is disgusting and infuriating.

People speak your TRUTH!

Um.....remember that the People's Party is the only [brave] party speaking about immigration?\nRemember....started by Maxime Bernier, the guy you and Warren Kinsella love?\n\nUnfortunate that no other parties are talking about immigration, while the PPC has been steady and bold to talk about this since 2018.\nJust sayin'

Thankyou beautiful aboriginals ?? for your great support n drumming in the background !!! This helps in giving trudeau the traitor a valued message to all trudeau speaks with a big forked tongue and needs to step down now!!!!! N as for the idiot that suffers of hate to the color white needs serios therapy asap!!!!! To bad what he doesnt like he is obviously a serios racist against white people !!!!

Some people think they are superior because they can speak English. LANGUAGE does not show your smartness .These people damage others for life and nothing gets done.

That fact that he was calm and acted professionally in this situation though the customer was continuously abusing him speaks volumes. I hope he got justice and the customer faced the consequences.

Dumb customer thought to release this video. He doesn't know how to speak to other human beings. ?

Great morning to you\n What is the first step towards moving to Canada from the US. Also which state is best for aspiring chefs who don't speak English

Speak english all the peoples are grear clean and funny.

TLDR; I am an person from a wartorn, oppressive country, and I unfortunately do not have many options to choose from other than Canada to have a chance for a better life.\n\nLet me tell you from the perspective of a person whose dream is to come to Canada: I know all this already, I know things are going terribly and the cost of living has gone up significantly. But the unfortunate thing is, the country I am from, is currently in turmoil. I do not fit in there as a person and hate the culture. Its incredibly corrupt with no growth. I am more western, and open minded, and my original country is a strict Islamic country. I do not fit there at all.\n\nI know Canada has all these problems, but its my only choice for a better future, I dont want to go to US because I dont wanna die, also, EU wont accept me unless I am from EU myself or speak their language which is a catch 22. Australia is also becoming a shithole. That leaves Canada and NZ. NZ doesnt have that good of job prospects and limited scope and I love Canada, always have. The weather and everything that comes with it.\n\nYes its not perfect, but I think its more about knowing that I can go back to a place, that is not dangerous for me and my future family, where I will get good care if I am stable job wise. Once I am in Canada, I will probably buy my own land and use that to have a trailer home there since they are still cheap, save my money, and probably retire in Philippines. \n\nI dont believe everyone else should do that and yes I know trailer's costs depreciates with time, unlike a house, but I dont care about that. I dont think of houses as investment and I never will nor I will participate in that practice. Everyone has a right for home.

English version will help non hindi speaking people

Speaking of winter, don`t buy land or property in the winter. First, you can`t tell what the ground looks like if it`s covered in snow. Even more important, you should see what happens when the snow melts. Is the drainage good? does the basement flood? If the property is next to a river, is the land flooded in the spring? Wait for the spring to commit.

You live in mini punjabi in Canada but you don't speak in punjabi why you don't lose the personality please speak in punjabi??

Why does she do so long dramatic pauses while she speaks? ?
