This isn't going to change anything. They will still come. May as well just hand over your land/house/security to them now. Eventually, they will take anyway. They already are. I use to love being a Canadian when it was just us living here, not he rest of the world. I have been wearing the same shoes with holes all winter and probably next winter to because I can't afford a new pair and yet, them people are waring all new clothes after illegally entering Canada. The government takes better care of them , then their own people.

A problem Trudeau created. And tries to get glory for after the fact. Not going to Niagara anytime soon. Hotels are over run. Sadly. Its a shame not going to a hotel where people are living. Worked on the road in ontario. And know to avoid those places. Yet alone with my children.

Roxham Road is now closed. Anyone who gets to the United States will now have to stay in the United States. These people aren't coming to Canada because they have nowhere else to, they're coming because they prefer to live in Canada over anywhere else. That does not constitute a necessity as their lives are no longer in danger once they leave their homes in South America, Africa, Pakistan, Afghanistan and India.

This is what happens when the administration that we currently have get on TV and say how they want free housing, free food, free healthcare, free education for people who come into America. People actually start to come and show up and the administration ruined their lives. Sad that Biden has been so disappointing.

That's why our rent is so high. These people coming over living off welfare

I respect people opinion about Vancouver, but I love Vancouver l live in this beautiful city for 33 years ,I was lucky to buy 2 property 1 penthouse and one apartment in downtown today value 2million 200.000 no mortgages ,and live a wonderful time ,I won’t moved to any place in the world the people who hate Vancouver is because they felt to make it and they are ungrateful , IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE ON EARTH

WHAT A MESS....I AM PRAYING TO MY HOLY LIVING FATHER GOD TO HELP STOP THIS MESS AND ALL EVIL FROM PEOPLE WHO TELL LIES I PRAY IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST AMEN

WTF IS WRONG WITH THIS CRAP ...ITS GOTTA STOP ...THERE BE NO CANADA left FOR ARE CHILDREN...ITS TURNING INTO A 3RD WORLD COUNTRY & PEOPLE WHO HAVE GAVE THERE LIVES TO THIS COUNTRY ARE PAYING FOR IT FFS ...WAKE UP PEOPLE

Used to live there so sad to c how people have to live under this corruption. Imagine ppl working together what we could accomplish

As someone from Asia who lives with a comfortable life I guess I’m privileged enough than most people who live on the other part of the world. But still, I can never understand why people force themselves illegally. They can just go through legal process, I’m sure there are other ways. This will never happen here in our part of the world. It’s easier to spot who is not one of us. If you want to move to a new country, do it LEGALLY.

Canada's healthcare is not all that. Atleast in Ontario. There is no dental coverage, no eye coverage. But its good for people who old or have critical illnesses since its all covered. \nCanada also has a very weak job market than the U.S. There is almost no opportunity for highly skilled labor. The U.S is a world leader in technology and industry and has more rewarding opportunities for talented people. As a Canadian who has lived in the U.S. I must agree Americans are more willing to be friends with strangers. I also think the U.S is far more culturally diverse but better assimilated. The U.S is a better place if you are talented and hardworking. Canada is a better place if you are a min wager.

Just seeing this is creating an even greater hatred in my heart towards right-wing politicians who don't give a crap about these people and what their reasons are for wanting to come to our countries, even though them being here is not going to cause any harm or misfortune to our citizens, it's just the knowledge that foreigners are coming to our countries illegally, is the only excuse that these bigoted Hippocrates have for not wanting them here. \n\nAren't they so lucky that they were born in a country where they didn't have to worry about any of these problems, but sadly for these people this was not the case for them but they are just as human as any of the rest of us and deserve the same chance to at least not live in fear or in the poverty that they came from. And it is so ironic that these people use their Christian religion as an excuse the pass certain laws or forego certain amendments that gives certain minority groups equal rights or the right to bodily autonomy, yet they ignore all the vast passages in the Holy Bible where Jesus insisted on having compassion for people like this, but in reality these fake-ass Christian right-wing politicians don't care about that. I feel so sick even thinking about this.

Go through the refugge application properly or get sent back. You cannot tell people that they have to go through a rigourous immigration application all for this to be a loophole. \nThe Canadian government has already exploited the real estate market as a comodity to the point that people cannot afford to live where they work.

some people just want to live in 17th century, they can not be helped

I understand these people trying to find a suitable place to live. However, social cohesion is already an issue, amongst other things. We can't just accept anyone in until we fix our issues

Imagine living in a country people are fighting to get out of. With just the clothes on your back and a book bag or suitcase the size of a carry on. Sad

We need a new form of vote. It says something profound when ordinary people are risking everything and leaving their lives behind to move to another country. Border problems are a disgrace to our species.

They are Maduro's people. They all are looking for free sh*t. You will see, they are not willing to work, but to rob and live off the country they go to.

The lengths people will go to not get a job and live on the tax dollars of others!

Where i live in canada , i have a lot of these people in my neighborhood , they are a disgrace to canada , they are nothing but a problem for people in my neighborhood . They are partying all hours of the night , stealing things from peoples property , fighting and drunk in the streets late at night , they should be all deported like the animals they are !!!!!

Ask Canadian people who live in the cities near this road what it is like in their cities\n\nAsk them about the crime and attacks

I DONT KNOW,\nIT'S LIKE 90 PERCENT OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME \nBS STORY, TIME TO TELL THE TRUTH YOU LIVE BETTER ON WELFARE IN ANOTHER COUNTRY RATHER THAN WORKING IN YOURS.

I think you got the last part of your video wrong. Australians gravititate to the coast, however in Canada people gravititate to the US Boarder where 90% of the population live within 240km to the boarder. Most of Canada is uninhabited. The East coast of Aus is where most of Australians live, so you will encounter more cities there. In addition we have greater diversity in our landscape than Canada. We have the tropical north, deserts in the middle, as well as snow peaked mountains in the south. I think your opinion would have been different if you have lived on the East coast (I happily live in Perth).

This is happening bad people they just don't have no life in the u.s.a. because the problem is that has so many of Americans like white people on Nancy like a United that a very different American different people different voltage different language getting clean to American citizen this is why the people are living in the US because I have no future if there's no future there's no hope exists no hope there's nothing. Well to America anyway because everything that it is control in for white Americans like they're his car they know how to do it but they don't have no respect for the different lives matter for further people that are are not displaying they are for the speaking of a different language or even translation or even that bringing somebody that it on their own work and it translated is how your cold expect but they don't have like that no of respect especially if they don't have no responsibilities are speaking that a what meant to say did different skin color different language different voices including life matters

Why do people want to migrate so badly? Why not just visit the other country for a while and go home? Embrace your culture. It's better to live in your own land surrounded by your family and friends then to be a stranger in a foreign land.

Pretty wild how much resources are Givin out to these people who skirt the law of the land they wish to live on. Canada doesn't even take care of its own military veterans that well. And the media wants us to believe everything is peachy

THE BLACK PEOPLE ARE NOT ACCEPTED TO LIVE IN WHITE LAND AND THAT IS THE TRUTH MENTIONING ABOUT THE DNA ARE BLACK ARE NOT COMPATIBLE TO WHITE AND ALSO THE REASON WHY ALL LAND OF WHITE ARE SUFFRED OF MANY DISASTER BECAUSE THE PURPOSE ARE TO REMOVE ALL BLACK PEOPLE,, BLACK PEOPLE HAVE OWN LAND, IN AFRICA

I wish we could help all these people ??? the province i live in is so racist and biased against refugees. I can see the upset as it feels our government sometimes chooses to give them more support then their own people but imagine you wanting to get away from your country and everyone turning you around. ❤

We people who lives in el paso we gotta do something about that we need to fight to keep them away and help the cops from el paso .

No one wants to call out illegal immigration for what it is another countries corruption and failures of its own population so desperately poor they want to move to other countries whose population live a better standard of living but suffering themselves. Why is this fair for legal born residents to put up with illegal poor people

They simply have to close that border crossing there. We cannot accept anymore people here. We maybe a big country but we have our own issues here like dealing with our homeless population. I live in a small community east of Toronto and Doug Ford is dumping the homeless from Toronto to here by the bus load.

Yeah they get to come in and do what they want to enter and my grandma grandpa had American children ,and they came to America for better life but they deported my grandparents back and my uncle aunts had to be taken from from their own parents the United States of America took my aunt's and uncles away from their parents and stuck them ine Forster care took their brothers and sisters away from each other these people come to America for their life and get to stay and my mom parents gotten deported and I never learned who my grandparents were not even my older siblings so how do they get to come live a good life ???? and my mom uncle and aunt couldn't have a life like theses people have today tomorrow and always

People chose between death or peaceful life ,and here some people still saying they should be turned around.Canada have a lot of land let people live .People who think they are real Canadians;your ancestors came here killing local people ,so be compassionate everyone has right to live peacefully.\nThey (refugees) might live poor here but will be safe .

Those people helping can go to prison for that . I lived in Arizona for 5 years and if you help them . Giving one a glass of water is a federal crime well maybe not with Biden the people are breaking stop rewarding criminals

Dude imagine being an infant in the crowd and witnessing all this and all these people running for their lives. I’d be so terrified and traumatized

Someone should be explaining the cost of living in Canada to these people.

In Quebec we already have over 40000 of these illegals living on government checks, taking space during a housing crisis, taking healthcare when the system is overloaded, sending their children to overloaded schools (Relative to the numbers of teachers) with them not contributing at all... they are making it harder for people to have families during a period of low birthrates. Even legal migrants aren't contributing to key jobs, they come here, try to get elite positions and cry about racism when they don't get them, go to university with the help of the government while most natives cannot even dream of higher education.\n\nMass migration in Canada is an epic failure in a time when we aren't supposed to mess up.

Stop thinking that they can go to another country and think they deserve for free what a lot of citizens have paíd and worked for ! They just think they Can arrive and break another country law just because ! Instead of complaining about their countries, they should fight for better opportunities! Many of them have not had any issues or traumas , it’s just because they were told they will have everything for free without doing anything! And yes, I am latina and I live in central america and I do not think any country has to support and deal with foreigners before taking care of Its own people !

It's about time human beings realise we all need a better life, we need each other, I may be living my best life today, but tomorrow, I may be fleeing for a better life, safety for my life and my family. Its sad to watch some people, telling others to go back where they come from, forgetting that tomorrow it might be them, looking for help desperately. If the world were to be kind and loving, it would be a peaceful world to live in....Love your neighbour just as you would love yourself ??, Hope all those people find Canada as a home to live and make it into prosperous Country ??

What a joke this Country has become. Trudeau will let anyone in as long as they vote Liberal. \nWhy do we let this happen?\nWe should be looking after the people who come to Canada the right way.\nNow we pay immigrants to sit around and get houses while hard working migrants live sub standard.

Excessive population growth and density is always the cause of poverty. Justin has skyrocketed immigration. Productive immigrants canadians move on to the US leaving Canada with chronic doctor and housing shortages. The remaining immigrants like the rest of the unproductive majority reduce productivity and standard of living. English was founded by people who thought the American Revolution was too risky. Hence the lack of telecom competition and restrictive loan practices of the big 5. As individualists we are almost as judgemental as Americans towards undisciplined clans- Russians, blacks, amer-indians,... Quebec is as different as two European peoples can be.

We should fight against evil and autocratic governments, eliminate terrorism and autocratic governments, and protect the interests and welfare of the people. This is the common effort of the whole world. Why are there so many refugees? The world is not beautiful. They can't overthrow their own bad government. They can only gamble to risk their lives to live in other countries. It is sad and pathetic!

?worked in CDN 47 years. Retired now no family Dr. Gov't here sucks up to all groups but me. Taxed high all my life, except in military(very low pay). 400,000 foreigners per year into country. Why??? To keep working peoples wages low. So called professional groups keep outsiders out. So they have to compete with people like me to keep wages low again. Trudeau wants our living standard on par with Africa. I'd leave if possible.?

I have mixed feelings about this. I feel like a total first letter of the alphabet-hole for not thinking of helping right away. When I lived in San Diego, it was a palpable daily reminder. Lots of people have cross-border lives. Family, work, home is on either side of the border. Now living up in Washington State, it's different. Here the border with Canada is all about preventing Canadians from stealing technology from us while allowing them to work for us. Some partners who come visit us often times get searched for technology. Like pen drives, samples, etc. It's a totally different story. Canada probably has less homeless than all of south America. It's an easy claim because literally, if you can't insulate your self in winter you go visit the great gardener Jesus and his weirdo multipersonality disorder. In south America, you just need to eat and not get eaten by things. So the result is that people survive way below the poverty line. Then, the big lie tells them that the US is better so they come over to eventually learn how the others found the three headed gardener the hard way. I feel like maybe if they got a tour of the country and learned how shitty it is to live here too, they might think twice about coming over. There are periods and ways when the US opens it's borders but it's looking like a real shit show right now. We don't have enough jobs and not enough houses to house everyone. At least in south America you can live in the family house and no one bats an eye. People help each other in poverty.

We already can't rent.. We need a looooot of free rental units to create a good offer & demand balance not xtra people.. Everything is in demand .Make them serve Canada ? with obligatory military service . They can be deserving, Build their entry housing & whatever we may need . I think you need to be a gift ? to get everything we have to offer. A lot of people live in worst conditions or in poorer countries worldwide. Lets be real ! We can't catter to the whole world. Refugees or future applicants could work in building housing / complexes or whatever our society needs. ?One day they actually will need thigs we don't have for them or us anymore yup ( HOUSING , HOSPITALS, SCHOOLS, INFRASTRUCTURES, JOBS) ?KEEP THEM AWAY SO WE DONT SUFFER UNTIL WE ARE *READY TO WELCOME ANYONE*

Quebec (montreal): Medical care, any public services rude, irresponsive and bureaucracy sucks n complicated (example: people wait for uncertainty just to renew their driving license), THE CRUELEST THING IN QUEBEC INCLUDING MONTREAL IS MEDICAL SERVICES (my god reminds me of third world countries i have ever been in), they will just ignore you heartlessly even if you have RAMQ (quebec heath care coverage), u have to have family doctor n u have to sign up to get one IN UNCERTAIN TIME, some they get family doctor within 3 years, others 5,7 years so on so forth so uncertain, so if u dont have family doctor u wont get treated, and if u have family doctor u will hve to stick to where your family doctor works at only, and to get appointment at some clinic they will put you on wait for some days or even weeks if u get the availability slots for u, if u got emergency u will wait 8,10,12 or 14 hours in pain. I feel bad for montreal citizen i swear, they r so patient with all of this while the tax is one of highest in canada. \n\nNow for rental (apartment in general), the check is crazy long it takes around 2 weeks just to rent, if u r lucky u will get taken if u r not then the landlord will take others, the 1 year lease means 1 year, so far to my experience in alberta like for example, 1 year lease but minimum period u have to stay usually around 3-6 months n after that u can leave with notice to the landlord to vacate the unit. \n\nBut in montreal, u have to find other person to transfer the lease, n if u found the person like i told u earlier, the landlord will check the person n the approval/ disapproval is by the landlord. I had to stay for one year living like hell cause the neighbors freaking so loud n partying every week end night till dawn. Couldn’t even have good sleep for work, so I called 911 two times, the police couldn’t do anything, yet the landlord n the building management kept on saying that they gave warning etc to that tenant, but they didn’t take any further action toward that, n i know they dont care, they care only for money. When i started to file complaint to the TAL(quebec rental board, they r irresponsive, complicated procedures, n in the end they dont solve any problem, on their site said that renter or landlord has to retain lawyer, the hell they r there for then? \n\nThe apartment building is tiny, tight old, the wall is thin, u can hear everything from your neighbour upstair, downstair n on your side too.. \n\nMONTREAL IS ALSO SO DENSED AND TIGHT, the main road so tight with cars parked on both sides of the road to ways only one lane on each way, cos mostly apartment building they dont provide parking spot, so they have to park on the road side, i feel bad for the bus driver i swear, with snow mounting on both side of the road makes driving bus is just so stressful, almost every neighbourhood looks dirty, trashes, people littering every where. Im Not complaining but that’s what it is, im living in montreal currently for more than one year but im just gonna move out of here lol

Ya Ya we're sweet. Why don't you Yanks stop the immigration flow like you want Mexico and the South to do! It must be real bad in the US to have so many people with nothing, to fear to live in the US.

I don’t get why there is so many “refugees” now. More countries in the world are democracies. There are a lot fewer people living in poverty. The UN has greatly reduced poverty. A lot less people living on a dollar a day. Not like the 80’s with wars going on everywhere. Do these people really have any reason for flooding the borders.

Take a good hard look at what drug users are doing to these people. Cartels have taken over Mexico and many south of the border countries. Look into the avocado market as one example. If they don't pay the cartels they and their families are m****d. In many cases farms are stolen right from under their feet along with everything else they own. They live in constant fear of brutal violence, many are forced into being drug mules. The police and their governments are in on the take so there is nothing they can do. Illegal drug use keeps this industry going. Start taking responsibility. It's not just about you.

Yeah but now every Canadian city ,small town and village is over run and housing is absolutely full to the tits. Where are we putting these people? No housing eh.. it'll take five of em families to afford a house to live in. Its costing us Canadians that much money
