When is Canada going to get the corrupt liberals out of office so we can stop paying for the world's problems? Canada is bleeding yet we are sending billions to fight foreign wars and line foreign billionaires pockets.

In Canada, for the past 10 years, it's more important to have DYI than it is to have qualified people in Canadian government- bottom line !

*This is about our home Canada, not party lines.* If you have a job—feel the tremor beneath it. If you have children—hear the thin crack in tomorrow. If you will age—sense the cold wait in crowded halls. We see it in tents against winter wind, we hear it in ER sirens that never sleep, we feel it in classrooms stretched past breath. This is not red or blue. It is heartbeat and shelter and future. Stand together. Guard the door. Restore the quiet strength of our home—now.

I wrote my citizenship test 20/20 today. While the questions in the actual test were not the same as this video, this video helped me to review and prepare with confidence. I read the discover Canada guide cover to cover thrice and went over this quiz twice. What really helped is that this quiz refers you to the exact line and the page of the handbook which helped a lot in preparation. Good luck everyone!

8:32 polish man, bro you are standing naked, and giving interview and calling other people dirty... bro's claim "they don't work" your uber driver was working lol. and wtf with the line "they all look alike" lol, that's racism you can get sued on this btw.

These immigrants have it too good! Wow, a whole four dolllars per prescription. I’m paying more than that in all my co pay and I live below the poverty line! Hell, I have to pay seventeen dollars in co pay for Spiriva just so I can breath and these damn asylum seekers get it for four bucks?! These freeloaders have got to go! Born and raised in Canada. Paid taxes since I was sixteen and this is my payback! Then they wonder why Canadians are starting to resent and actually hate these immigrants. Sorry but not sorry!!!!

If the liberal government was bringing in engineers and doctors and their families, it'd be one thing.But they're not, they're shipping in criminals from other countries.These other countries are emptying their jails of the criminals.And bringing them the canada and the liberals don't care as long as they vote for them.And cheat in the election, that's the bottom line!

These politicians will do anything for votes they don’t care one bit about the country all they worry about is lining their pockets with tax dollars and power

You're all spot on! How is it even possible coming from US and declaring asylum in Canada? And then we have fake refugees, students overstaying visa and applying for refugee status and playing our system, rejected applicants enjoying our health care system etc. What a mess and insult to genuine applicants who lined up and went legally through the immigration system.

Pierre Poilievre’s Immigration Hypocrisy: A Study in Convenient Principles Disguised as Conviction Pierre Poilievre has never met a border he did not want to fortify, a refugee claim he did not want to scrutinize, or an irregular crossing he did not want to turn into a national morality play. For years, he has warned Canadians that the country is being overrun by “illegal border crossers,” “queue jumping asylum seekers,” and “abusers of the system.” He delivers these warnings with the solemnity of a man announcing a biblical plague, not a handful of exhausted families walking across a ditch in Quebec. In Poilievre’s political universe, Roxham Road is not a rural footpath. It is a symbol of national decline. It is chaos incarnate. It is the place where the rule of law goes to die. It is, in short, the perfect stage upon which he can perform his favorite role: the lone defender of order in a world gone soft. At least, that is the story he tells the public. The private story, as publicly reported, is considerably less heroic. The Public Record That Refuses to Behave: According to reporting from The Breach and the National Observer, someone described as the uncle of Poilievre’s spouse has an immigration history that reads like a greatest hits compilation of everything Poilievre claims to oppose. The reporting outlines that he entered Canada and made a refugee claim. That claim was refused. A deportation order was issued. He later re-entered Canada through Roxham Road. He then filed a humanitarian and compassionate application. Poilievre’s spouse reportedly helped prepare that application. This is not fringe gossip. This is what journalists documented through correspondence, interviews, and immigration records. In other words, the exact pathway Poilievre condemns as “abuse of the system” is the same pathway publicly reported to have been used by someone connected to him. And suddenly, the man who treats Roxham Road like a national security breach becomes quieter than a library at midnight. The slogans stop. The outrage evaporates. The border, once a sacred line, becomes a flexible suggestion. The Rhetoric: A Symphony of Outrage: Poilievre’s immigration rhetoric is a carefully orchestrated performance. He warns that irregular border crossings undermine the rule of law. He insists humanitarian and compassionate applications are loopholes. He claims the system is being gamed. He declares that Canada must “take back control.” He delivers these lines with the moral certainty of a man who believes compassion is a gateway drug. In his speeches, asylum seekers are not people. They are symbols. They are props. They are the raw material from which he fashions his political identity. He is the sheriff. They are the threat. The border is the battleground. And Canada is the damsel in distress. It is a compelling narrative. It is also a narrative that collapses the moment it becomes personally inconvenient. The Reality: A Study in Elastic Principles: When someone connected to Poilievre uses the very same system he condemns, the rules change with breathtaking speed. Irregular border crossings are no longer a crisis. They are a misunderstanding. A technicality. A regrettable but understandable choice. Humanitarian and compassionate applications are no longer loopholes. They are legitimate pathways. Necessary tools. Evidence of a compassionate system. The border is no longer a sacred line. It is a suggestion. A guideline. A flexible concept open to interpretation. It is a remarkable transformation, like watching a man insist that jaywalking is a crime against humanity until his friend does it, at which point it becomes a misunderstood act of civic expression. The Political Convenience of Shifting Standards: Poilievre’s political identity is built on the idea that he alone will restore order. He alone will enforce the rules. He alone will protect Canada from the chaos of irregular migration. But the moment the rules become inconvenient, they are no longer rules. They are preferences. They are vibes. They are whatever he needs them to be in the moment. This is not a minor contradiction. It is a fundamental collapse of the moral architecture he has built his political brand upon. If irregular crossings are a crisis, then they are a crisis for everyone. If humanitarian applications are loopholes, then they are loopholes for everyone. If the system is broken, then it is broken for everyone. But Poilievre’s version of justice is not universal. It is conditional. It is situational. It is deeply, profoundly personal. The Broader Pattern: Institutions Are Sacred Until They Are Not: This is not the first time Poilievre’s principles have proven to be more flexible than advertised. He has attacked the Supreme Court of Canada when its rulings do not align with his political needs. He has accused the justice system of being too lenient when it suits him and too harsh when it does not. He has framed himself as the defender of institutions while undermining them whenever they become inconvenient. It is a pattern. It is a habit. It is a worldview. And it reveals something essential about his politics. For Poilievre, institutions are not pillars of democracy. They are tools. They are props. They are instruments to be used when helpful and discarded when not. The Satirical Truth: A Philosophy in One Sentence: Pierre Poilievre’s immigration philosophy can now be summarized with clinical precision: Canada must crack down on irregular border crossings, except for the ones that are fine. And he will decide which ones are fine. It is a stance that bends so far backward it could qualify for a gymnastics medal. It is a stance that reveals more about political convenience than national security. It is a stance that exposes the gap between what Poilievre says and what Poilievre does. And it is a stance that makes one thing abundantly clear. Polievre's Hypocrisy

Liberal Bots hitting this thread hard. Bottom line: Canada uses mass immigration to fuel Canada's largest combined sector of the economy - namely real estate and construction. Liberals have destroyed Canada. If you're a Liberal supporter/voter - shame on you.

In one question Daniel Smith wants foreign workers who are the poorest payed people, where the conservatives are in great demand for foreign workers, to pay for their own health care. It is a pettiness too petty, that disqualifies Ms. Smith from dealing with the public. Definitely remove that question from your to-kill list, babe. It will get you in trouble, babe. You have to pay me to leave you, babe. Apparently Conservatives wish to create a caste where it's the poorest who pay and are despised. Don't be hypocrites. Don't become a danger or cause danger through your words and actions. You have crossed that line, Daniel Smith -- You put a spotlight on minorities and they get attacked more often by emboldened bigots. Resign. You are a danger to your target and anybody else around them. Do not go after the poor my dear Hubris for Nemesis will invite herself to come dine with you if you do.

I'm all for referenda, the trouble is when government picks the issue, they are usually doing so for political reasons, not legislative ones. Harper pulled the same thing when he took a first nations treaty agreement that had been twenty years in the making between THREE levels of government and threw it to a referendum of a population that had NO idea what it was about, so they just reacted along racist lines thinking 'first nations are taking over'. But in any case, a referenda is better than not, sure as hell wish we had Citizens Initiatives in my province to stop some of the horrible public policy decisions.

Except the Liberals don't care, they are busy lining their own pockets. An Election ASAP so the citizens can choose. And Albertans can see just how Courpt the rest of this country is.

Largely unnoticed!! The corrupt politicians are the 1st line of involvement.

You know where the abusers are coming from and you know they monopolize the government offices jobs and they rule the country and they make the racism decisions into others I hate those because they complain the most about discrimination and they are the first racist in the line and I hate them because they made my life impossible and for them I am homeless

Roxham Rd. was a human trafficking open door with RCMP baggage handlers for years,,,, then hell broke loose and we've lost the country now. It was deliberately planned decades ago, slow opening by the Conservatives then flood gates by the Liberals. Canada is Captured and destoyed and Canadian TAXPAYERS are paying these people 81,000 per year WTF? 1st in line for healthcare, free extended healthcare, furniture, HOUSING, taxi money and free banking for CRIMINALS THESE PEOPLE DON'T PAY TAXES THEY TAKE FROM OUR TAX BASE - ITS TREASON ! WHERE'S THE LAWS IN CANADA THAT LEGISLATED THIS CRIME.

u import india u become india. a country is still struggling on poverty line after 79 years independence. by the way the replacement is not only happening in Brampton but the whole Canada, like surrey abbortsford, nanaimo....

Charging the federal govt of Canada for "moral damages"? LMAO. Where do I line up?

Canadians want less Indian immigrants bottom line 🇨🇦

As a Canada who speaks both French and English and who follows politics quite closely, I have to say that the headline and some of the reporting here is quite misleading. A reduction in immigration has broad support across Canada. I wouldn't say that notion is dividing the country in any significant way. You do have certain industry groups that disagree, but among the population these reductions have broad support. This is a historic change in public opinion in Canada, but it has been driven by the unprecedented increase in immigration under the last term of the Trudeau government. To put this in context, non-permanent residents in Canada numbered around 1.5 million on Q3 2023, but by Q3 2025, that number sat a just over 3 million. The previous government increased immigration targets by 3 or 4 times over what they had been for years, which caused a number of economic issues. Essentially, the volume was simply too high for the economy and society to support. This was unfair to both Canadians and new comers, many of which could not find employment or afford a decent place to live. The changes being suggested are largely bringing Canada back to what the targets were for over a decade before, though a bit lower to account for the sudden surge. Canada remains one of the most pro-immigration countries in the world. However, and this is where I think DW's reporting is misleading, there is a distinction to be made between policies at the federal level and policies at the provincial level. Immigration, per our constitution, is a federal matter, however, Quebec in particular is distinct from other provinces. I don't mean only culturally and linguistically, but also in the powers that have been devolved to it by the federal government. On the question of immigration, Quebec has more powers and more ability to set its immigration targets and programs than any of the other 9 provinces. The particular program discussed here, the Quebec Experience Program (PEQ), is a particular immigration stream that only existed in Quebec. So what is happening with that program cannot be labeled as a whole-of-Canada thing. Where the changes to the PEQ are controversial, unlike the general changes at the federal level, is that people who immigrated under that specific program were promised certain things. There was a multi-year time line to Permanent Residency and then Citizenship. Many of those people have been in Quebec for 5-8 years already. However, the changes made to the program were done in such a way where people who many years into the program, had gotten an education, started a career, had children, ect. are now being told they can't continue and must leave Canada. There are even stories of people who married Canadians, now have children, and the one parent who was under this program now faces the possibility of having to leave Canada and be separated from their family. All through no fault of their own. That is what many people see as unfair, and I agree, however limiting future applications under the program, to bring in less people, that is not controversial. Canada has no responsibility to bring in people who are not already in Canada, but Canada does have some responsibility towards people who uprooted their lives to move to Canada and built new lives here based on promises and representations made to them by the Canadian and Quebecois governments. We should no simply kick those people out of the country.

Every one of them should be lined up and given the choice - step on the plane to go home or get a bullet in the back of the head.

The main reason for bad behaviour in Brampton is the kind of uneducated people from Punjab getting in there using illegal means. I know many people from Punjab who've honge into Canada who cannot speak 3 lines in English properly.

If you aid or abet an illegal alien and they kill a United States citizen, you can be penalized up to and including THE DEATH PENALTY. 4more American citizens were killed in Indiana by an illegal alien driving a tractor trailer. Public records and investigative reports have linked the driver and the truck to the following individuals and entities: Saipidin Tutashov: Listed as the primary officer of Sam Express Inc. (based in Palatine, Illinois). Investigative reports indicate the network is often referred to as the "Tutash" network. Mirlanbek Murzapazylov: Identified as the primary officer of KG Line Group Inc., another carrier in the same network that reportedly shares vehicle identification numbers (VINs) and equipment with Sam Express. Ruslanbek Olzhebaev: Listed as a registered agent for Sam Express Corp in California. Azamat Kenjebaev: Primary officer for Sangam Transport Inc., which is also allegedly part of the same "chameleon carrier" network.

hey racist. go back across your side of the line and stay there. Fuck you. Fuck ICE. Fuck trump. Fuck racism.

The silver lining is that one day the libtards will be the minority in their own countries and treated as third-class citizens, and they won't run shit and be looked down on as trash. At least there's some comfort in knowing that the end for left-wingers and their children will be pure misery.

4:50 that guy on the bike totally described my doctor appointment but he was standing in the deli line

Thank you for putting your life on the line for this level of exceptional journalism.

For the Indians living there they can't be driving in Canada like they in India. If they continue, their license needs to be revoked. They also can't be taking over a Goddamn city like why isn't the government doing anything? I support embracing diversity however, there's a fine line with respect.

Lined up in Indian supermarket my turn come up was completely ignored they served an Indian guy behind me 😂

Wow people are about 2 or 3 decades late on this. Born and raised in Toronto 4 decades. I am more of an alien when visiting USA then people that skip the line and walk across. West is cooked

The thing that never seems to be brought up is East Indians 80% own houses. They come here and they own houses and have businesses that they ONLY hire East Indians, have East Indian clientele ONLY because they all pay cash so they can circumvent the taxes. They all make babies like mice so give it 40 years and Canada will not be recognizable. And it’s the governments fault because they’re so greedy for tax money that they let the here by the boat load because they don’t wanna wait for the rest of us to make Canada larger population wise because it will take way too long. That and their tuition money for colleges, the list goes on in this non talked about bullshit that the liberals have done. They seriously do all this scheming and raising taxes just to give our tax money away to everyone but the people who pay the taxes. We could have put a huge dent in the national debt by now, but liberals just can’t conserve money hence their name. If it doesn’t stop soon, we are doomed. Surrey BC where I lived for 14 years, is just as bad as Brampton. They all own 1.6-2 million dollar houses in the suburbs of the city, all own businesses and all do the same shit as Brampton, circumvent the taxes. That’s the thanks we get for letting them here is to scam us so they can get rich quick while we all suffer and will never own a house by the looks of it. In Victoria BC where I live now, it’s gotten so bad that I can’t move out of my house I’ve been in for 4 years cuz I can’t find anything cheaper and this place is a 400sq ft 1 bedroom for $1850 a month. Can’t afford to do anything but survive while the immigrants all live like kings. There’s gotta be a line to not cross and that has been the case for too long where it’s been crossed for a long time and no one says or does anything about it out of fear of being called a racist. Call me one. Idgaf anymore. I ain’t racist. I’m just sick of the rules being severely crossed for money. Money makes everyone that has a lot of it GREEDY sons of bitches and it’s gotta stop.

Bottom line is Liberal government has allowed these mess of people in Country of Canada. Why does it keep happening?. We need immigration when its needed. The laws need to be enforced for everyone.

Bottom line, if you come to visit Canada, just avoid Brampton and Toronto and you are good. But they are at all the Timmys, wherever the city/province, they have prirority over Timmys employement and no i do not want to work there😂. Not a chance.

Punch line was ' Indian eat poo😂'x

Ah, see, that happened to me 3 times. A black person got served before me. Two jumped ahead in line on their own. I stood up to each of them, but the white libertards complained. The third was a black couple who were called ahead of all the whites by the black cashier. I want these people out of my country! They don't respect the status quo, which means what we've done to earn our place is meaningless to them. If they have their way, we'll be second class citizens. And don't forget... multiculturalism means nothing is sacred.

Its like if some Indian, Somalian etc came into your house started redecorating it in line with their culture and tried to tell you how you need to manage your own house. And if you try to kick them out they call you racist. Why is it okay for any other country to want to preserve their culture. But if its any first world country then they act like you need to accommodate them.

These racists cowards would rather stay silent and let their communities be overrun by muslim immigrants who forms gangs, deal drugs and groom poor young women, than live around and look at brown people. The guy who said he faced discrimination standing in a line while a lady was served first (lol) should know mostly Indians dont run butcher shops, those must be Pakistani or smth

thats racist, when you are first in line, and the last get served first because he/she is indian... wtf

You spent a lot of time with that racist dude mr Oliveira lol. Those stats about Africans having low iqs, how do you think that data is collected? Just think for a second, what about an American education system would compare to say the local village school in rural Kenya? Do you think something like that would play a part in iq level? Some of you need to get your own checked I swear. 35% of Kenyans live under the FOOD poverty standard. 18.3 million people live under the food poverty line in the United States (13%> of US population) 18.5 million live under the food poverty line in Kenya. The population of Kenya is around 53 million. That’s just over 1/7 of the US population. Do you think that maybe plays a part? That’s only one country, we can keep going, if you crunch the numbers on the whole continent it’s so obvious that you’d have to be .. low iq not to see it lol.

Whenever I go to the bank I get stuck waiting in line. It’s always packed with Indians taking forever. I’m not sure what they are doing. It’s probably something to do with free government money though.

Trudeau doesn't give a fig about Canada 🇨🇦. Only lining his pockets and sleeping with MEN. 🙄

I went to Niagara Falls with my family in 2020 and because of Covid not a lot of people where there... It was the *reopening* of Clifton Hill and the Hornblower attraction... As we where going to board the Sky Wheel there was a huge stench of weed in the air.... I have been around weed a lot but nothing compared to this... A big group of Indians where sitting in a circle and passing blunts to each other. It felt like a free for all do what the F*** you like. It sucked and they where super rude and cutting in the lines... I love Indians but come on man, have some manners.

I remember going to Disneyland as a kid, in the 90s many times, and seeing like 3/4 Asian people. Now it's not like that anymore. I used to laugh when i would hear them speak in the lines lol

You infiltrate a Country at that Back log. Full Stop. End of Line

Any government official who allows this to happen in any region is getting their pockets lined with heavy cash by the offenders. That’s politics

This lawyer only cares aout lining his pockets

Rent prices in my area is finally going down. Lined up directly with the post secondary school year, wonder why.

Why are international students being told they might be able to stay?!?????!? You're a scumbag Mr. Immigration lawyer! After they graduate and leave, they can apply like everyone else and get in line. Their time as a student should not count for anything. Why are we fasttracking bringing grandparents of new Canadians or PR's? They don't pay taxes and put extra burden on healthcare and CPP. PR's should not be able to bring other extended family members at all. Canada's immigration system hit the breaking point 10 years ago when that failed part-time high school drama teacher took the wrecking ball to it.

Remigration! Require people with expired visas to return to the country of origin,.go to the back of the line, and apply again.
