Canada is not the greatest country on earth. All of these people will leave once they realize it's not worth freezing you ass off to not be able to afford anything.

How much Canadian tax payer money goes to them ??? Probably as bad as the somalis in the usa. All the ones around me own everything, McDs, Timmies,Subways,Burgerking,popeyes,kfc,corners stores and I know Im missing some. …
How much Canadian tax payer money goes to them ??? Probably as bad as the somalis in the usa. All the ones around me own everything, McDs, Timmies,Subways,Burgerking,popeyes,kfc,corners stores and I know Im missing some. They wont hire people that arent family They all drive BMWs and Mercedes. Outside of work they are rude AF.
Focuses on economic concerns (tax money, business ownership, hiring practices) while making stereotypical claims about immigrant communities.

lol no fatso these are not the upper class Indians. These are farmers and other lower-class people that escape India and go to Canada. The upper-class Indians are either in India or in the US because that's where they go with their college degrees to make money. But Canada is very lucky to even have these people. What most people around the world do not understand is that without immigration, countries like Canada have negative population growth, and their economies would collapse. There would not be anybody to work in Tim Hortons or any service positions at anywhere near reasonable prices. Indians do not try to actively change the local culture like Muslims do which our fatso also noted and they do not go on welfare. All of them add to the economy. Which Fatso I'm sure is also doing just like them as he delivers Uber Eats or whatever it is to them as they do the more complicated work. Let's just hope the bike doesn't give in before the next delivery. The Indians need their curry delivered.
Defends Indian immigrants by emphasizing their economic contributions and necessity for Canada's labor market, while using sarcastic humor to critique the video creator.

the Indians i know in canada have been very hard working and honest people. there was one who had to go back home though they wouldn’t renew his worker permit. I know plenty more on these permits. It’s not just indians though there’s also Brazilians, Chileans, and Venezuelans. One thing I hate is my job prioritizing their work hours over mine because they “need the hours” to stay in this country. where as this is my own country and I’m getting cut hours during slow season. smh
Combines lived experience with workers on permits with economic grievance about job hour prioritization and workplace competition.

Immigration is only good if it benifits canada. Immigrate business families, doctors, professional engineers, etc who actually contribute to our economy rather than depending on free benifits. Benifits are onky for canadians who actually need it and not for temporary foreigners.
Argues immigration should be selective based on economic contribution, opposing welfare access for temporary foreigners while supporting skilled worker immigration.

I think these words mean nothing, one shoudl look at actual data. There have been a tremendous imbalance between the US and most of the world. US produces so much, have so many resourcers but could not compete. Instead, they were forced to open operations in foreign countries, which does not benefit US taxpayers. You like it or not, US was on a downhill if other countries would not agree to make American products competitive.
Analysis of US economic imbalance, trade competitiveness, and manufacturing relocation as justification for trade policy adjustments.

Demographics change all the time and culture is fluid. Being pissed about it just means YOU need to have more kids. Without YOU having more children or immigration, towns die and economies shrink. It’s a simple numbers game.
Frames immigration as economic necessity using demographic and labor market logic to counter cultural anxiety.

The east Indian problem has gotten extremely bad where I am in Canada they keep buying businesses and then firing all the white people but if you call it out, you're racist like, I'm getting turned down when I hand out resumes, because I'm white and I was born in Canada its bad they're taking all the student jobs and then buying the businesses where students are working and then firing the students i'm no longer in school, so it's even harder to find a job. It's gotten to the point where if you want a job you need to work for yourself. They're even taking jobs in the trades so now people are having to work for themselves under-the-table and launder their money the average median income in Canada is anywhere from $45000 to $50000 a year the average house costs $673,335 the average household only makes $80000 a year i used to dream about having my own home and starting a family now I just hope I can find an apartment for less than $2000 a month that isn't owned by a slum Lord living in Toronto that's bought the property without ever even being to Smiths Falls a day in their life.
Combines personal economic hardship narrative with claims of ethnic discrimination in hiring and business ownership, framing immigration as economic threat.

Deportation numbers are sad and should be much higher this is costing tax payers and citizens way too much money at least 100,000 per month deported like America.
