I’m not surprised by the bad driving. Have you seen drivers in India. They turn two lanes into three. Crossing the street there is risking your life! When I was there, I almost had a heart attack and prayed every time I had to get into a car.

I'm surprised he could find that many white people in Brampton.

It’s not just Brampton, our whole fuckin country is like this now. I used to live in BC for the majority of my life, all over Vancouver to Vancouver island, even the smaller communities are completely being invaded. I just moved to Alberta 4 years ago and holy fuck was I in for a surprise. I’m in the greater Edmonton area in a city in the surrounding area and doesn’t matter where you go, they over populate everyone for miles. The numbers the government tell you is a fuckin lie. Those numbers are grossly under exaggerated, it’s a full on invasion. I’ve never seen anything like this in my whole life. For all you fuckin idiots who voted liberal I don’t wanna hear you bitch cause you fuckin caused this.

I'm glad Tyler is more or less neutral in his findings. It's true, many Indian's have come to Canada and I'm sure many do wish for a better life. Canadians understand this, but the methods the government of Canada is doing to push the numbers too high and too quickly is what's surprising to many. It's the accountability of the government that should be under scrutiny. If immigration was moderate and consistent, the social issues would not be as rampant, but social media loves stir the pot. This is also happening while Canada's housing infrastructure is crumbling, healthcare is deteriorating and general cost of living in Canada has skyrocketed and priced many Canadians out of simple living and enjoyment. Do you think Canadians today are as happy or well off as Canadians even 5 years ago? Do the results reflect that of other countries besides Canada?

Isn’t it ironic that the high-IQ white man, or the “Buddy on the Bike,” who’s supposedly intelligent, is riding a bike in the snow? Also, if he were truly that intelligent, why are the so-called “nasty people,” as he referred to Indians, running his hometown? Though I doubt he’s even from Brampton. He’s likely from St. Marys, Ontario. It is one of the most racist towns in Canada. Many individuals there believe that all non-white people are not Canadians, even if they were born in Canada and have been there over four generations. I’m not surprised by the “white trash” remark, as he calls himself. Nor am I surprised by his Nick Fuentes wannabe behavior. As for the American audience, not everybody thinks in terms of race the way y’all do. I think this exported American ideology is affecting people in Canada and the rest of the world.

One thing that always surprises me is that a lot of immigrants actually don't like mass immigration. I worked with a polish lady who complained more than anyone about the amount of polish people. I've met a lot of Turkish people and a few of them weren't best pleased with the amount of turkish people, and in this video an Indian man says there's too much of it too. Its not an uncommon sentiment among immigrants that they specifically came here for a change in culture, only for it to follow them here. Specifically surrounding politics, a lot of them leave because of the politics where they were, only to find its just as much of a problem here because so many bring those problems over with them rather than leaving them behind. Just to clarify though while I think immigration is obviously a big problem in its current state, I'm not at all against the idea of immigration in general. I care more about where people are going than where they're from. Its just very odd when you hear a strong accented polish lady walk passed complaining and swearing about all the polish people. I guess it does make sense though, if i imagine desperately wanting to leave home for Australia, it would obviously be disappointing to arrive after packing up my life savings to find out all of the people and all of the things were exactly the same as back home. Pretty sad when you think about it.

I'm an Indian not from Punjab, this looks bad. To any Indian and Punjab Gov officials seeing this please take action, these people are ruining India's reputation. And to Canadians, Khalistani's are considered terrorists in my country most of them fled the country and I can see where they are now. Indian Gov officials have warned the Canadian Officials about this, they don't seem to care. I won't be surprised if they want Brampton to be declared a separate Khalistani country in the future.

I'm not surprised about the bad driving. Watch any Indian IRL streamer and all you hear is constant honking. Indians have no patience when driving, they just honk and honk and keep driving by their own rules.

Dude you should blur these peoples faces. I'm Canadian and I wouldn't be surprised if the white people making negative comments got in trouble for this, our government is a sick mix of liberal-fascist-communist. They are correct, though, of course.

I have a sociology background and I'm from the Ottawa area in Canada. I'm legitimately surprised to actually had some people actually speaking so openly against the Indian invasion. Many Canadians could lose their jobs over having an opinion that goes against the current state of immigration. Canadians don't actually have the Freedom of Speech many Americans enjoy.

🐁 ist will 🐁 ist.... I'm not surprised

I'm surprised no liberal voters are calling this dude a "racist" because it involves Indians. He is literally interviewing both sides of this issue. In my opinion, if the liberal government stays in power, and more and more liberal voters use the racism card on people who point out these issues just to make themselves feel like a good person, more and more major cities in Canada will be filled of them who either entered as an international student, or as an asylum seeker. It is not "multiculturalism" or "diversity" if there is only people from one culture coming to Canada? Where are the people from countries like Italy? Germany? Ukraine? Mexico? It is not racist to point out how in very few homes, most notably in Brampton, around 7 or more people live in one house. It is not racist to point out how these Indians need to learn to write and speak proper English. It is not racist to point out how they need to adapt to our civilized way of life here in Canada. It is not racist to point out the rise in crime done by people of Indian descent. It is not racist to point out how, coincidentally, the quality in Tim Hortons has dropped lately, when in a majority of them have workers of Indian descent, which are usually in major cities. How so? The liberal-imposed foreign worker plan, plus a little bit of corporate greed. It is not racist to point out that Indian "international students" are getting their food from food banks, which are supposed to be for the poor, and how some places of work only hire Indians, because they are run by Indians. Why is this discussion even about Indians? Because they make up HUGE majority of people coming to live in Canada. Matter of fact, this does not apply to Indians coming to Canada, but to whoever goes to live in another country. It does not take much out of you to at least adapt to the way of life in which ever country you go to. The conservative party sees this in a way that the liberals do not. Come back to this comment in another 10-20 years when the liberals are still in power. You'll see the difference.

Accountability should fall on the Government of Canada. They stopped screening properly. There used to be a point system that determined who could immigrate, and it actually worked. I’m of Pakistani descent, born and raised here, and when I’m in Brampton and walk into a Circle K, people start speaking to me in Hindi or Punjabi right away — it’s a trip. At the same time, I’m not saying everyone coming is bad. A lot of international students and new immigrants are hardworking people who want to build a better life. But plenty are also gaming the system. The real issue is that Canada messed up by letting in too many at once, with no structure to help them assimilate. When there’s no integration, no surprise people just act like they’re back home.

I'm surprised how nice and clean that city looks. I have been to many Canadian city's that are not this clean.

What I'm surprised by as a Canadian myself, how come nobody did a thing to prepare... this was very obvious during Covid that you needed to get out of the Canadian Dollar and into something less trash.

Donald is a convicted felon so I’m hardly surprised that he’s robbing tax payers blind and leaving the security and economic stability of the US off his priority list. He’s there to sifen as much money as possible until he’s kicked out or until he has enough to buy Gaza, and whatever portion of Ukraine Putin has promised him if he lets Russia win. All this is to in four years use the money he stole to build Trump Resorts ?️ on both plots of land and be hailed as an intelligent businessman by people who refuse to pick up a book ?

Justin speaks good English. I'm surprised

Trudeau in the first 10 seconds already opens with a lie. Trump never said he’s going to “appease” Putin. He is (and I note I don’t see Canada getting involved) negotiating a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia. That means both sides are going to want something out of that deal in order to sign it. But I’m not surprised with Trudeau deliberately spouting disinformation, it’s a national sport for him.

I'm surprised Trudeau didn't squeeze a few tears in his speech lol.

Putin is hoping the US loses all its allies. I’m surprised Trump doesn’t just call it the gulf of Russia.

Very proud of our Prime Minister!!! The Trump administration is currently destroying America. Canadians and Americans have been working hand in hand for more than a century and it's so sad to see that a bunch of billionnaires are using lies and manipulation to get their way. I'm also very surprised to see that the Republican politicians are reacting like puppets. Let's hope that truth and common sense will soon prevail in the United States.

I'm quite surprised that every country thinks America is a friend. My dear folks, AMERICA DOESN'T HAVE FRIENDS, ONLY INTERESTS. And not the American people, but the government itself, since they allow billionaires to do whatever they want and intervening in many things that are not their damn bussiness.

Trump is a closet communist \nI’m surprised no one noticed

I'm an American. Trump and company are Russian Collaborators . They are NOT acting in America's interest. I'm on Canada's side here for sure. Trumps tariffs must be some kind of fishy scam. I bet its some kind of money grab? It would not surprise me.The White house is under Russian Control.

I'm surprised how many Americans are upset with this move against Canada, from the left and right. I'm not letting Donald affect my friendships I have down in the States with friends and family.

I’m surprised that USA isn’t trying to keep a good relationship with its neighbours

I'm really surprised how sharp this speech was, and dense, with no made up alternative facts mumble. I should listen to more Trudeau speeches and less Trump. The rational, fact-based argumentation is like recharging after so much trump nonsense

I'm surprised this guy is still in charge. He has made Canada broke again.

I remember when we had a president that could speak in complete sentences without any name calling and pointing fingers at everyone else. Canada, you are doing exactly what you do when you see a bully, you stand up and fight back. As an American, I’m so embarrassed by trump’s behavior but sadly I am not surprised.

Like I've said before or two other blogs, this man should not be up there addressing CNN or any other network or any population. Whether it be Canadian or American. He has no right to be there. He is not the prime minister of this country anymore. He has no right to be making policies or to be imposing tariffs or doing anything else of the sort. Furthermore, he is also politically, unsavvy and ignorant. He in his running the mouth speech this afternoon. Insulted Donald Trump again by calling him dumb. I'm telling you that will not go very well with Mr. Trump and I wouldn't be surprised to see additional tariff percentage increased on the 25% already in place. Justin Trudeau is not a prime minister. He is a thug, an absolute idiot, a moron and any other adjective that you can find to describe someone who is totally and completely incompetent and incapable of implementing policy or running a country.

As an American and human being, I’m beyond embarrassed and disappointed, but not surprised. I apologize for our buffoon “president”. \n❤️ I stand with Canada ?? and Ukraine ??❤

Lots of wind, he will be bending over real quick. The guys been ousted by his people and our dummy dimocrats side with him . I’m so surprised. Lol

This is all just part of Trump's plan for dictatorship. It has nothing to do with fentanyl or trade imbalances. I'm surprised none of these CNN hosts and guests can't see through this. It's obvious where this is heading.

This must be Trump's brilliant plan to get everyone to self-deport to a country that has political leaders that actually care about their citizens... Trump will later want credit for bankrupting America.. the biggest bankruptcy in history...never one bigger... And for all this Trump will want to have his profile added to Mt Rushmore... and no doubt hand himself a Medal of Honor... I'm surprised he hasn't given himself a Purple Heart, for taking a shot to an ear. Who voted for this demented man anyway?

Trump and Putin both want and need Canada for the simple reason of the Arctic melts. Ships can now travel that pass. Trump is known, and I'm surprised the media doesn't bring it up, to have financial ties to Russia as an American citizen even well before 2016. What kind of blackmail from Russia would make Trump totally sell out his country.

What Trump lying? No say it ain’t so I’m surprised. ?????

Wow I really didn't think he had it in him, I'm surprised and slightly impressed. I am a PROUD Canadian and I will fight for my country any way I have to

I'm surprised that so many people havent yet seem to have figured out that T-bag is in the kremlin's pocket.

I'm surprised that Musk hasn't gotten any Fentanyl❓?

Tyler, I’m surprised. Canadians are more outraged about gun violence in the U.S., especially against children, than Americans are?! Killing children ANYWHERE in your country should make you crazy angry, and insist on changing the gun culture! Insane!

I'm surprised that your eyes aren't brown because you are totally full of shit.

Why aren’t NewYorkers fighting back like Chicago residents? I’m surprised they put up with this.

I'm surprised Palki didn't mention USA specially with Trump in the White House. Firstpost is the indian version of Fox news \n???

I never thought Indians can protest in America and complain about anything I never thought they even cared about the issues in America I’m really surprised they are even deporting them never knew Indias are even illegal immigrated ?? ???

You didn't address the elephant in the room. When we go abroad we follow the same rules as we have in India. We start working which violates the regulations of tourist visas. I'm not surprised we have a high rejections rate, we are a nuisance everywhere we go.

I'm a little surprised that these Abrahamic believers did not authorize their leaders to send these human beings across the seas shackled in the hulls of one of the shipping containers. Especially the ships that already travel between India and the U.S.. Did anyone check with Musk before this happened, it does not seem like they are watching their costs as opposed to what human beings needs? Did they check to see if they were the correct type of Abrahamic believers firstly? To me it just seems like something they would be okay with ...

This isn't a surprise to the 70+ million people who voted for Trump. It's exactly what they voted for, so what's the story here again, feelings? Geez. They'll be fine. They're not being injured, and no one cares what India thinks of the US. India has preferred Russia to the US for a while now anyways. They've hated America for years. Borders will be wide open again like CNN prefers soon enough. I'm hoping they pick up the pace. There's only 4 years to file out as many people as possible who have broken US immigration laws. Chop chop

I’m Indian. Let me tell you all these Indians voted for Trump and now they’re surprised about the outcome. Are they living in a dreamworld??

I'm not surprised he's getting rid of them either.He said(( ALL )) the illegal immigrants.What part of ((ALL)) don't you understand.

I'm surprised it's actually CNN showing this. I'm just here for the comments.
