More people need to speak up and share these videos! Sign petitions etc! This has to stop, you know how frustrating it is when people cant read or speak or understand english! Rent is more than half of your pay. Of course everyone is in debt. We need to eat and feed our kids and pets etc it’s disgusting! I am in alberta we use to be one of the more affordable cities.

STOP LETTING PEOPLE IN FOR 1 YEAR! See what happens! #fixcanada #rentcaps #lowercosts

I work with someone Sikh. He happens to live in Brampton. So what? He's a great guy and he works hard. He's probably first generation, and he's as Canadian as anyone else I know. Everything I'm reading here is exactly what people once said about Irish and Italians. Give everyone some time to learn what being Canadian is all about. For the record I'm white and I've lived all my life, but I don't live in Barampton. I'm also first generation in this country, but I get a pass because my parents came here from Scotland, not India. That's not fair.
