I’m native Canadian, I grew up in a neighborhood full of Indians and it was rare to be in the same class with another native in a class full of foreigners, I felt like a stranger in my own country

this is so stupid. did the british assimilate to native or french canadian culture when they came to Canada?

Ask actual natives, not just white people "native canadians". This makes me actually sick. Not the Indians, the racism. Canada is built on Immigrants. The comments are just as bad, educate yourselves.

What a hypocrite these white candian are😂😂😂 even those white Canadians are not native they migrated from europe and now they have problem with other non white people coming to canada😂 at-least these non white Canadian didn’t massacred the natives and converted forcefully to christianity ✝️ 😂😂 By the way i am not Indian 🙃

"What do the native Canadians think" then he goes and talks to white ppl like bro they immigrants to this land 😂😂

A lot of this is racist. There's also a lot of hypocrisy. You white people invade the United States of America and Canada coming in by the thousands and completely took over both countries, and then you sit here and complain that you're being invaded. Are you guys for real. You invaded first, so you don't have a right to complain. You know who else felt like strangers in their own country? The native Canadians and the Native Americans.

Native canadian not white lol

Firstly 😂 there’re no such thing as white European native Canadians 🤷‍♂️ yall are descendants of illegal aliens who’ve destroyed and killed the way of the native people’s.

I love how racist canadians here are talking about canadian culture, like they are first peoples of Canada who speak Siouan or inuit. Most of your ancestors slaughtered natives or carried out forced assimilation. Indians who immigrated there aren't gonna take your Tim Hortons or gonna make you chant "Hare Krishna". Bunch of racist edgelords.

Native canadian? U mean white people?

Who are actually native Canadian?

Those white 👤 aren't actually native Canadian 😂😂😂

Native Canadian ???

Well well well if you watch this video i think you don't know you tube ceo is indian. All white canadian is European and canada is the land of native Americans. Why all European and Indian not back their country!

Nope theyre just living there and building the canadian economy. To all those far righters saying ohh we built canada from nothing . They forget the massacre of the Native American. The white invade. Purer racism

English and French colonization had a devastating and intentional impact on the Indigenous languages of Canada, leading to the severe endangerment and, in some cases, extinction of many languages. This was achieved through explicit colonial policies aimed at cultural assimilation and the suppression of Indigenous identities.  Key Impacts of Colonization Forced Assimilation via Residential Schools: The most significant factor in language loss was the government-funded, church-run residential school system, which operated from the 19th century to the late 20th century. Indigenous children were forcibly removed from their families and communities and sent to these schools. Punishment for Speaking Native Tongues: In the schools, children were forbidden to speak their Indigenous languages and were often subjected to severe physical, emotional, and sexual abuse if they did. Intergenerational Trauma and Knowledge Loss: The experience in residential schools caused profound trauma. Survivors often did not teach their children their traditional languages, partly out of fear of punishment and partly because their own fluency had been impacted, which inhibited the languages from being passed to the next generation. Discriminatory Legislation: The Indian Act: This legislation, along with other colonial policies, was used to suppress Indigenous cultural expression, including language. Official Languages Act: Canada's official language policies recognize only English and French as dominant languages, effectively marginalizing the over 60 distinct Indigenous languages that existed on the land long before European settlement. Dispossession of Land: Forcible removal of Indigenous communities from their traditional lands and onto reserves disrupted the deep connection between language, culture, and the natural environment. Indigenous languages often encode unique knowledge about local ecosystems, which was lost when communities were displaced. Social Stigmatization: Colonial ideologies viewed Indigenous cultures and languages as "inferior" or "savage," promoting English and French as the languages of "modernity" and "progress". This created a social hierarchy where speaking an Indigenous language could be a barrier to education and employment opportunities in the dominant society.  Current Situation and Revitalization Efforts The legacy of these policies has resulted in low numbers of fluent Indigenous language speakers today, with many languages considered endangered or critically endangered. However, there are significant ongoing efforts toward language revitalization.  The Canadian federal government passed the Indigenous Languages Act in 2019, which aims to support the efforts of Indigenous peoples to reclaim, revitalize, maintain, and strengthen their languages. Indigenous communities, educational institutions, and organizations are actively working to preserve languages through immersion programs, community initiatives, and documentation. UNESCO has declared 2022 to 2032 the International Decade of Indigenous Languages to draw global attention to the urgent need for preservation and promotion.

Native Canadian 😅😅😅

Saying "Native Canadians" and referring to White people is wild

He called white (pink) Canadians, native . Have some shame 😭😭😭.

The white Canadians ain’t native! 😂

Native Canadians 😂

The indian is paying more taxes than the native Canadians😂 the indians are more successful than the native canadians ao technically canada usa run by indians brains... So yeah all unemployed canadians hate Indians and racist just bcz indians are more rich then native canadians 😂😂😂...

1. People who said they feel now a minority. How do such people feel about invading India and killing the Native Canadians!? Did they assimilate with local natives or simply wiped them out? Looting India and many more places. 2. Blaming the politicians for inviting immigrants, well if death to birth ratio is unfavorable then solution is immigration to provide social welfare for a growing senior population.

You are a pretty good influencer you know how to get engagement but the thing that you might miss is that you also plant seeds of racism in people's brain, I get your idea about the illigal immigrants and I totally agree that all the illigal immigrants should not only be deported but should also be punished strictly and I get it that it's frustrating that people are not following the rules or people are doing bad stuff there but the thing is not only the content but also the intent behind the making and releasing this video, you could have mentioned illigal immigration but you choose to use words like Indian invasion and giving a name to a specific event would cause racism and hate towards the community as well as for the country, The way you showed the clips of specific people showing middle finger in cars I can show a tons of videos of native candains doing the same thing but then it's morally wrong because everyone's not same, same way just check out there's a lot of people who does bad things in public who are the citizens of Canada and who are doing bad stuff, imagine I make a video saying that "The stupid canadians who doesn't follow rules" that video will also show partial truth of some Canadians doing stupid things but associating Canada's name would spread racism against them which is wrong, same way you could've made a video on illigal immigrants who came from india but you choose to get more engagement by using racist terms and things which will make people think that all indians are same, in conclusion I just want to say that in america the highest earners are American-indians and I really thank us government for giving opportunities to them but they not only worked hard for those opportunities but they also worked more then the Americans to get to the top, if the America would have a better person to be the ceo of Google then sundar pichai must have been in india but since he's the best he's at the top same way every american-indian or legal immigrants not only worked hard to get there but also worked more to reach where they are, YOU HATE US, CAUSE YOU AIN'T US. (If you have talent skills and passion come to India and try to become ceo of Reliance industries or TATA group and if you really manage to do it I will not only say sorry but I will myself get all the Indians out of Canada) ✌️♌

My man here says lets ask some native Canadians then goes to ask some white people... 👍🏾

Imagine if this same interview happened back 500 years ago, when people actually asked native Canadians about white man's immigration! On thier land, humans do migration for a better living, it called globalization, those who don't understand this are not just uneducated, but also have a disgusting mindset, who only judge people based on their skin color!

These ‘native canadians’ originated from Europe btw.

When did whites become native Canadians 😂

2:33 the assimilation question...what would be different if they assimilate? everything will still be Indian...the difference is not just the fact that they are not working...they have totally different values and culture and mentality...so the question is why they come from their countries and turn the other countries into their country again? maybe one of the reasons native Canadians are homeless and poor is because they feel that they do not have their culture anymore...they literally had the rug pulled from under them...it is depressing and distressful...they have been discarded and left totally unprotected

just one point i’d like to make is the comment you made asking “native canadians” but you spoke to just non-immigrants. there are indigenous people in canada that are actually native to the land. those are the native americans.

clicked on this video hoping for an even sided take instead it seems like this guy has already made up his mind and is actively showing and promoting racist views, i remember growing up in Burnaby BC and Vancouver bc when the chinese/japanese and just asia in general started immigrating to canada. The racists back then whined and cried about a ton of asian shops opening and bad drivers etc. Hell they didn't even like asian only churches they would cry "why do they need their own churches?" while saying their cooking stinks, their shops stink to their face and bitching about just about anything. Now its happening again in Toronto and the racists have moved on from asians and now focus their hate towards the indian community. as a native American all i can say is if you're actively going to bitch about immigrants. Maybe everyone that isn't native american or culture didnt originate from the north Americas should head back home? otherwise quit bitching and learn to love one another. At the end of the day Canadians and Americans are imigrants from Europe.

I agree with most of what he said except native Canadians are not white. Let’s remember that they were the first to invade. Native Canadians were almost murdered to extinction 😢

White scammers not native Canadians 😂

White Canadians aren’t ‘native’—they’re settlers. Canada was built on colonization. India had civilization when Europe was knee-deep in filth. Racism doesn’t make you superior, it just makes you loud and ignorant.

“Native Canadians” and “Whites”?😂!

Native Canadian here; Canada is ruined and unrecognizable from my childhood its awful.

Does are not native Canadian there white peoples 😅

Indian households in Canada make more on average than native Canadians. To be absolutely clear.. this is not an Indian problem its a government problem. They let in anyone who could spell their name. But before that they let in extremely intelligent and hard working folks from India who are currently upholding this country's tech industry. I know this for a fact as I am in tech and have eyes.

I ❤️Hindu. I ❤️ Bharat Christian Chirches did bad to Native Canadians. They killed Native Children and converted their children. 😡

So many racist comments from non native white Canadian 🐖 who are acting like they are inuits the original natives of the land!! Furthermore being British born and watching from England I can tell you one Damm thing, not one of these Indians are on governments benefits, they are working their socks off unlike others from a certain religion such as the recent Minnesota problem. Furthermore how many own a house there as compared to what you people call a Canadian white person, it will be interesting to know the facts. And no the heavens didn’t open up on them with gold coins raining on their heads 😂. Here in London you get the same occasional problem where non educated white people start to moan and can’t tell the difference between an Indian person or Pakistani, by the way Indians own the most homes in London have a think why!! They actually go out and work and want to achieve something In life!!

Native canadian????

“Native” Canadians

1:15 “NATIVE Canadians????” Fucking hell bro 😂

Canadians just need to work with the indigenous to force mass deportation because it’s causing the indigenous to go culturally extinct within just two generations. Mass immigration is not part of the treaties and if we just worked together we could send them all home. But kkkanadians hate natives more than punjabs.

he said native canadians. but showing yt people?

Native Canadians 😂🤣😂🤣 Only a British immigrant would say that 💯

As a real Canadian Native American I welcome Indian people

All people except the Native people are immigrants or offspring of immigrants. Absolutely, embracing diversity and promoting equality are essential steps toward creating a more inclusive and harmonious society. Recognizing that everyone has unique backgrounds and perspectives can enrich our communities and foster understanding. Working together to build a better future for ourselves and generations to come is a shared responsibility that benefits us all. We cannot label people based on our perception. Everyone should earn an honest living and be kind to people around them. That is what makes us Canadian - the kind and polite.
