As a Canadian PR holder, the immigration system is broken. The fact that people who can't speak English, with criminal backgrounds and unqualified individuals can come in and stay while I had to wait 2 years for background checks and a 8.5 IELTS score, is insane. It shows that qualified workers aren't wanted but rather just get as many people from only one single country in the name of multiculturalism. Another thing which attracted me to Canada was the chance to experience different cultures but all I see are Indians and especially immigrants who don't want to integrate because Trudeau is happy with that and they bring their countries' domestic problems to Canada (read Gaza idiots and Khalistanis)

how sad for canadians. you guys are expressing the same sentiments as californians. many of them have moved here to texas because the California they grew up in was is not the same. safety, homelessness, drugs, insane woke liberal policies, are the same in California.

This is insane !

This is absolutely insane - I had a similar situation in BC

He is becoming insane.

To Canada from Singapore? That's insane! What were you thinking?

Invasion anyone ? This is insane .

Tenant knows exactly what she's doing and playing victim. 4 years of not paying rent is insane. ?

i never thought i’d be a right winger as a gay canadian who is not even 30 but it’s actually insane seeing the sheer number of brown people everywhere. barely working, not speaking english, nothing

Taxes are insane, and it’s cold.

??? at the Mais no , tabernac! ?? and then ur reaction lolol. Alot of Québécois French swear words I think are sort of religion/blashpemy related ?\n\nThat hyper capitalistic like. Everything is a business that has no business being a business Lolol. Like prisions. Healthcare. Frikkin everything over prioritizes capitalistic values. And Americans seems to be happy and supportive of that so idk lol? are you aware that sounds insane from a country that values social programs and what not lol

Even with the guns like. We have guns here. We just don’t think it’s better to have barely any regulation control or laws about attaining them owning them and what is appropriate use of them versus not. To watch Americans defend their right to bear arms as a reason to entirely ignore the amount of gun violence , combined with insane laws that literally enable or encourage said violence , from people who are not in anyway necessarily trained to asses or handle as safely as possible , urgent situations. To have any children or schools shot up not immediately cause a national need to solve the problem but jsut have it ongoing and not much change to address the issues of innexsssary gun violence to not just Canadians but a lot of the world , looks entirely insane and white honestly idiotic lol I’m just being real. \n\nTo spend the amount yall do on military to feel safe , but have such unsafe conditions in the general public is crazy to a lot of us. Outside America. Yall are a danger to yourselves and okay with that? Lol same thing with food and nutirion and fda things that are acceptable and legal but banned everywhere else ?like. You guys do realize ur safety is not only about who owns the most guns you will be less safe if ur health is poor, bec of insane things being legal to be sold and eaten , healthcare is not easily accessible , and the gun violence of ur own is always a possibility like. How does that feel safe ? \n\nI have a friend who went to school on scholarship and now works married and lives there and she hates it and feels terrified all the time. Her own husband is American and owns a gun but she hates it hates guns now. And is exhausted and has anxiety issues as a result of a lot of the culturally and legally normal gun ownership and attitudes there. A lot of Canadians would feel the exact same way. And to WANT your country to be run and managed that way screaming it at the top of ur lungs is. Bonkers bat shit crazy to many of the rest of us. Ur not the only country where it’s legal to own guns and have them, but yet we’re not hearing about school\nShootings as a problem that just never gets solved and everyone who lives there sort of shrugs about ? lol it’s. Odd. To. Us.

Idk i think you need to realize that we also have our bias in addition to you having yours. Meaning, to most of us , excepting the most left leaning socially progressive pockets and contexts , which even then wouldn’t be viewed that way to us just acceptable lol ?\n\nOur baseline/political middle in Canada is A LOT more left leaning than the baseline normal/political middle in the states. So while people tend to equate your democrats to our liberals or our NDP , and equate your republicans to our conservatives. It’s just not accurate. If you throw our span of parties and American span of parties on the SAME spectrum /polarity line. You might be surprised to realize how shifted left our systems range politically is from the American one. \n\nThis hugely impacts the average normal expectation , what we clutch our pearls at hearing coming out of the mouths of the general public , and our range of what we expect to not hear or see ranted about unless they’re to our view , extremely right leaning politically /social values. \n\nFor us this means that actually genuinely , a lot of America does get experiences by us as bat shit crazy racist homophobic immigrant intolerant culturally and religiously ignorant , and somewhat backwards in larger or smaller amounts ? I know that’s not fun to hear but. Being the most diverse country based so much on immigration means. What is normal and known /familiar and normal so we aren’t ignorant to , is completely different. \n\nFor us we have our pockets usually in more rural less populated areas further away from larger cities where there is more diversity but that’s the same often in many countries that you will find some of the louder racist homophobic intolerant voices typically in places that truly are unfamiliar and ignorant to the experience of growing up with and around much of any diversity of varying kinds. So it’s not to say we don’t have racism and intolerance of course like anywhere we do. It’s just contained and the range and frequency and intensity is MUCH different. We distinguish nuances of diff cultures and religions more easily and in larger numbers we’re more familiar with diff ways of life , language , food, dress , holidays , values and used to a much less segregated way of existing even when we are differnt from each other as the NORM. My parents were both born in the states and my older brother was born there but they moved up here when he was a baby. So nearly all my extended family lives down there and I’m a duelly. And my experiences discussing things with my cousins or visiting absolutely could be described as culture shock at times. The insane things that came out of my own cousins mouths when they hear our friends or partners of various cultures , our not understanding how big a deal and incredibly insulting apparently it is to have assumed someone American was lgbt lol the list goes on. Like I don’t think our most intolerant Pockets can hold a flame to even ur closet to middle a bit intolerant places and contexts in America. Quite honestly. \n\nI think the absolute undying favourable passionate upholding and support of nationalistic, capitalist, hyper individualistic mentality about society as a whole (from my Canadian born and bred perspective lol) makes the differences even more glaring blaring and hard to swallow for us lol. I think more Canadians would feel exactly how that comment stated , that you felt was not fair for us to experience America as. I think the truth is a lot of Canadians are being too polite to let you know that’s exactly how a lot of America comes off to a lot of Canada ?

She is insane

I. DON'T. CARE. \nWe imported way too many immigrants, beyond insane unreasonable levels. \nWe're in a housing crisis and Canadians cannot afford to live/rent/buy a home. \nWe have no more room. \nGO HOME. YOU'RE NOT WELCOME HERE.

I am sri lankan dude born and raised in germany. I work in a company where most are german. They are quite respectful , funny and quite sensitive in terms of racism, homophobia etc. I even hang up and party with them in freetime. The work life balance is insane , much better than USA. If u r sick u r sick , no one dares to question u. All that because of Young People they r different than the older ones in public services etc. . So if u get into a good company everything will be fine. I know its hard...but thats they key.

>Do we want to be prosperous or not\n\nCanada accept insane levels of immigration, and not only did they heavily dilute their once socially cohesive culture, they are poorer than ever before. Ofcourse an immigration lawyer supports immigration, he's getting rich off of it.

This cockroach will spend a long time in prison . \n\nthe number of non-permanent residents coming to Quebec — mainly asylum seekers, temporary foreign workers and foreign students — doubled between 2021 and 2024, going from roughly 300,000 to 600,000.\n\nSEND THEM ALL BACK TO THERE COUNTRY OF ORIGINE. \n\nMost Americans & Canadians \nWant the way of the west to continue peacefully. \n\nEnough of this insane multiculturalism non-sense.

“canada’s labour market needs” listing STEM there is just.. wrong. It’s so hard for anyone to get a job in STEM. The competition is so much, even healthcare is having issues too. Nurses are starting to have trouble finding work which is insane.

This is insane there is absolutely no housing. We want them to leave.

That is messed up. To many people voted for this insane. Tarrifs makes you pay more to put more money in politicians richer. More

Left Canada about 10 month ago, raised and born. Never going back, the country is in a complete decline, the climate is horrible, in Quebec the taxes are insane and the service is 0. RIP

The sheer arrogance of you people ina a foreign nation is insane? Do you really think people will tolerate you invading our nation on temporary visas and not leaving? This will inevitably lead to all sorts of violence and y’all don’t have the numbers!

Wait so our greatest allies for decades are going to be getting put on for tarrif increases ? Canada and Mexico? God Putin is so pleased with what he’s done. \n\nIf there’s any other proof that this man is going to single handedly create logistic issues, trade wars,while our allies are going to look elsewhere while we’re figuring our sh*t out.\n\nMexico and Canada will do their stuff. The us will be isolated.\n\n\nThis is…. Insane.

MOSTLY EVERYBODY IN THESE COMMENT ARE NUTS.!!! U care more about the price of avocados and parts for crappy cars than NATIONAL SECURITY, PROTECTING OUR FAMILIES, STOPPING THE CARTELS, PROTECTING THE BORDER, INSANE ALL OF YOU!!!!

It's not your fault. It's Trudeau. I am all for immigration, it is what makes Canada, Canada... but the amount of people Trudeau let in was insane.. We had massive issues prior.

?I thought we where UNDER ATTACK BY BLOOD THIRSTY, INSANE MIGRANTS WHO EAT PETS AND LITTLE AMERICAN CHILDREN!?? trump is the ONLY ONE WHO CAN MAKE ANYTHING HAPPEN ACCORDING TO HIM AND HIS CRAZY MAGA CREW!

Abbott and Trump are insane. If they don’t like what’s happening THEY should LEAVE!

Helped Biden control our border is insane..other words they didn't do crap but she people through their country and into ours

You'r not addressing the principal dilemma, which is that Trump is a sociopath attempting to terrorize people here and in other countries. It disgusts me that you're normalizing his insane behavior.

That's insane she supports a maniac and severe narcissist over love of family. No womder they dont tqlk to her anymore I wouldn't either smdh

????? they can also apply? \nshe is what I call insane.

Put animal protection laws in China country. With such disgusting acts that are happening to animals its insane. As president make yourself useful to all the living.

Even a doctor's visit WITH insurance you guys pay a deductible? What? Lol. That's insane. We go to the doctor? Free. Go to the ER? Free. Break your arm , or have a heart attack? Free. It's so odd to me for healthcare to be big business. Its a right here. Not a privilege

So.. lets be clear.\n\nThe amount of administration that would be needed is insane. Trump suggested he wanted to remove legal migrants as well as people who were in the US when born but their parents arent mirgants. \n\nIt would be unprecedented level of moving people and would likely result in huge amounts of death and rape. \n\nThen while I find a worse argument the economy would collapse. A lot of illegal immigrants do work under horrific conditions, still pay tax, and get paid less than minium wage. \n\nWe saw this in florida.\n\nIf this goes ahead which I think it is reasonable to suggest it will not. A lot of people will die and literally no one stands to benefit

If you have a problem living in the USA, then Canada is not the place for you. We don't want terror supporters or criminals or insane leftists.

We spend billions of dollars on them that's insane we have veterans in our own American people over here living in the streets and we're not helping them so no time to sweep off the front porch go Trump go

Canada was taken hostage in 2015 when this evil and corrupt regime was voted in by the potheads. China ensured that they stayed in power ever since. Their insane taxes and woke agenda have destroyed the economy and the country. In under 10 years they destroyed a beautiful vibrant country and made it unaffordable to live in, destroyed health care, destroyed housing and flooded the country with too many criminals and leeches. They destroyed Alberta's oil and drove investment to other countries including China and Russia.

Insane to call the Obama administration, pretty liberal on immigration when he was known as the deporter in Chief...

Insane ?!

That old woman is truly insane. What a freaking attitude!

This is insane, how come the system allows them to do that. Students are to study, so they are not persecuted because they applied with freedom.

Dang the amount of hate in these comments is insane, i thought you people were supposed to be loving and tolerant ? I've never seen such toxic behaviour and language before. Shes spot on , there's procedures to this stuff, do the process legally! If you don't do it, its illegal, if its illegal then you shouldnt be rewarded for it.

I've been replaced 4 times by foreigners. I worked at Amazon and the entire huge warehouse of hundreds of people was only East Indians with only me and 3 other white people. I worked at Ballard and the entire production floor could not speak English at a elementary school level and was replaced by a guy from Iran who had never been to Canada and was in the country for 1 month. All the shift mangers were from Iran and my section was only Iranians, East Indians and Chinese. I was the top production worker by far doing the work of 4 other workers proven by the actual numbers in an attempt to keep my job but still got removed of course to make way for more Iranians because it was obviously a way to bring their people here. Zero locals were in the entire production floor. I can not have the dignity to own my own home and never will be able to even though I grew up here went to collage and university and worked hard. Rent is beyond insane and they raise it the maximum legal amount every year which is huge. All my life I had to bow down to foreigners. The locals have lost their homes and can not buy another house or could never buy one and never will be able to. All are slaves to foreigners who think they are superior and treat them like garbage. The foreigners get help from the government somehow and get loans they never should be able to get because they have crooked contacts in the Chinese owned financial institutions. They then build 5 to 10 unbelievably horrible illegal suites and that is where most of the locals now have to live in. The neighbourhoods went from a very low population of Chinese and East Indians to insanely high levels such as 98 percent. There is no sense in complaining to any government body because the Chinese and East Indians have infiltrated those key positions and always side with their own kind. The legacy news/media is fully aware but are owned by foreigners and never will talk about these issues. Canada has for sure been invaded and taken over and is lost. No one is bringing it to light and worst is no one is trying to fight it. Any attempts you are labeled as a horrible racist.

To be over here 20-30 years illegally is insane. Who is taking care of them ? How are they getting by ?

Wowwww!! Clearly she has no idea about the laws and what happens after you’ve been deported. YOU CANT “COME BACK THE RIGHT WAY” for years… sometimes 15-20 years. And because of “quotas” and limits on population from countries, chances are they will never come back. This last sounds a lot like the wyt folx who say they did it “the right way” at Ellis Island etc. back when you just stood in line for a doctor to make sure you didn’t have cholera and other diseases or weren’t insane. I’d be v curious to know when this trader stood in line, and where she lives now.

Totally unfair to those who come to canada by legal means. Canada would have to house these illegal migrants and feed thrm for free while we have millions of canadian citizens living on the streets homeless! This is effing insane!

It’s not that her family doesn’t talk to her because she supports trump, it’s because she wants to deport them. The victim complex is insane

Seriously ? the USA ?? is no longer safe for natural citizens.\nImagine 4 years of it’s mouth?!\nI had a hateful, racist, disgustingly insane, narcissistic owner of a shop.\nI rented off of and he was psychotically, mentally depraved with these Jim Jones like rants.\n? ALL day long.\nCouldn’t wait for him to leave for the day, just to turn the television OFF!\nJust because you are mentally obtunded do NOT assume everyone else is as psychotically depraved as you are.

I hate the way that the right has treated our immigrants, these hard working people bring their culture, ideas, value and especially their food over here, so that we can benefit from it and they obviously benefit from being here too, and they just treat them like trash its insane these people are insane
