Hey,\n\nI don’t know how popular you are but I am hoping that you (or someone else reading) can make some short shareable etiquette videos for Indian immigrants. I am constantly annoyed by the following, but because I was born in Canada, I would be cancelled for saying the things you can. I am also Indian. Here’s the list that comes to mind. I might come back and edit this because I am sure there are things I am forgetting: \n\n- coughing into your elbow instead of your hands (literally watched a guy yesterday on the bus cough into his hands then put his hands onto the support bar)\n\n- Standing to the side and letting people off the train so you can get on instead of trying to walk through people who are trying to get off \n\n- Standing up and moving to the side to let somebody off on an inside seat of the bus. I have a butt. I don’t want to be squeezing by you \n\n- Taking off their backpack while standing on the bus and putting it between their legs\n\n- Moving to the back of the bus instead of crowding by the doors\n\n- Standing in lines to get onto the bus instead of crowding\n\n- Not littering. Either put your garbage in the bin or take it with you. Stop leaving it on the beach or on hiking trails.\n\n- Learn about hiking before attempting it. We have people going up in jeans and flip flops in the evening and getting stuck on mountains or injured. Some wear running shoes but they don’t have enough traction for the trail\n\n- Shovel the sidewalk in front of your home when it snows\n\n- Stop dousing yourself with axe body spray. \n\n- Understand that Indian food makes your clothes smell. It gives off oils that get stuck in everything. Open your windows and doors when cooking to minimize this as much as possible. You won’t be able to resolve this entirely but do what you can. The skytrain now smells like Indian food even when empty. \n\n- Stop riding your bikes and scooters on the sidewalk. It’s illegal and you have a responsibility to learn the rules \n\n- Stop hiring everybody that you know. Before nepotism was all about networking, but nowadays, it seems to be about hiring Indian people that you know. I am being discriminated by employers because they think I will do the same once I am in. Diversity in teams matters. Indian immigrants don’t seem to believe in this and think all that matters is the most qualified get the job. This is how you end up building facial recognition models that don’t recognize Black people. \n\n- You work at McDonald’s. Stop blasting Indian music. The McDonald’s by my place is blasting Indian music from the back and it overtakes the restaurant music. \n\n- In a work environment, even if it is all Indians, speak English. You ostracize your fellow colleagues and customers. You are also not improving your English skills by speaking in your primary language.\n\n- Make an effort to make non-Indian friends. It’s really intimidating even as an Indian to see large packs of Indian men\n\n- Learn how to swim. Every year we have multiple drownings at a lake because Indian people are unprepared for the reality of the water. This is a basic safety skill.\n\n- Stop staring at women. Even as an Indian woman I get stared at by these guys. Just stop. \n\n- Get headphones. Playing music or having conversations on speakerphone in public places is rude and very inconsiderate of others \n\n- Stop cheating. Whether that’s cheating the system or during classes. We grow up here and environment that even though we can cheat, the culture makes it completely unethical and you just don’t. The consequences are significant. I get it that you come from a country that doesn’t have enough resources for its population, but you give the entire Indian community a bad name when you cheat, lie, and do other unethical things.\n\n- Learn about Canadian values. The Canadian charter of rights and freedoms exists. Under it cases were won supporting equality for women, LGBTQ rights, etc. this is built into our constitution and it’s so ridiculous to come across people who don’t adopt Canadian values. Why choose Canada if you want a culture of what’s back at home. \n\n- I get it that our healthcare system needs to improve but am disappointing reading advocacy for private healthcare in Indian Facebook groups in Canada. Tommy Douglas was voted as the greatest Canadian. He is the founding father of our nationalized healthcare system. For the most part, Canadian are happy that we don’t have a healthcare system like the United States, where your access is determined by your employer or your income. We don’t go bankrupt when we have a health emergency. Go back to India or go to another place where you can pay for private healthcare, but stop advocating to transition our healthcare system to a private system. While you’re at it go look up who was determined to be some of the greatest Canadians.

It’s a lie here in Australia we are flooded by Indians who are taking over the country.

The indian men walk around in gangs harassing women. They grope women and mak?e vulgar gestures with their mouth, hands, and legs and voice on the street or bus or subway, plus they are dishonest or lie. The indians coming from Europe or the US are completely different. They know women have many rights under the Law.

The main reason in my opinion is the harassment of women, by Indian men coming directly from India or Bangladesh and the Arabian countries. They touch and grope women, make vulgar gestures with their mouth, hands and legs and voice on the street or bus or subway, plus they are dishonest and lie. The Indians coming from Europe or the US are completely different they know America is a matriarchal society and women have many rights here under the Law.

WHO CARES about LEGAL IMMIGRATION when the LIE-berals continue to welcome HORDES OF ILLEGALS????????????????????

We dont see our temporary agricultural workers that bend over in dirt, working our fields from south, Central america, and mexico complaining.\n They dont bring old world religious squables and land claims. Ak47 on car door, fat guy in bath robe with long sword on other jeep door.\n\n \n\n \n They are recognized in our local store. They are polite, they comand respect. They give respect\n They get respect back\n\n\n\n\n From the locals. They smile and wave goodbye at the end of the season.\n\n They get a warm welcome from the locals on spring return. \n They dont lie , get a sleazy lawyer to line jump for them.\n\n\n Why is that? \nThe ethics , code, and honesty are why\n\n I would take a guy who will dig in the dirt any day over a poor character any day. So would most canadains.

The Trudeau government has been bending the rules concerning immigrants studying in Canada. The loudest of this group are foreign students from India. The conditions of their student visas include that they must have the ability to support themselves while they are studying in Canada. This is common with students from India, they lie about their financial circumstances to get the visa, then they come here and complain they need financial help. Why would Canadian tax payers foot the bill for a bunch of fraudsters. If they are found to be in violation of the conditions that govern their eligibility for their student visa, then the laws should be applied and they should be deported immediately. If they can't obey the laws and obligations necessary to obtain and keep their student visa, then it's a no-brainer. The world is taking advantage of the good will of Canadians, enough already. Send the liars and scammers home.

What a lie ,he did not fall behind Xi. He was stopped by the body guard.

i guess it's the election times..lie to get back in the office

Students saying they have education loan, house as collateral, then why did you lie in you SOP. The reason why they granted you visa is because you mentioned that your parents or sponsor have enough savings or income to support not only your education but also your living expenses.

Clamp down on that; Canada!!! We don't want anything based on a lie!!!!!! John M. Hill

It seems like a time far ago, when Germany raised and created their own young potentials, engineers etc. ... in abundance, even exporting them abroad.\nWhat happend, after decades of mass migration ('skilled' or totally un-monitored), and why is Germany literally crying & begging for qualified professionals nowadays? This is meant all rhetorically...\nAnswer: Might it strangely be, that it destroyed all efforts to invest in your own potential, youth, and people!? That liberal (left) argumentation doesn't work, that we (Germany) adopted a US-like idea, of making it hard for our own people to overcome struggles and succeed - and simultaneously importing cheap foreign workers.\n\nThe 'aging population' is a cheap argument of technocrats, to import cheap workers. When in reality Germany shouldering numerous burden instead should decrease 60m from 80m in respect to its geographical size - so kids might have a chance to see nature again instead of a concrete landscape. We could overcome the bottleneck (of the 'baby boomers') easily back to a stable, prospering country again (can't grow forever). But technocrats, just think of the short term profits & margins at the expense of Germany. 'Aging Problem' is the biggest lie, don't by it from state tv,radio like DW or BBC.

U need to get out if our counrty. All they do is lie and cheat and steal. They throw garbage everywhere take advantage of everything canada offers. Enough is enough. Get out

They were told a big lie from the liberals. Come to ??, you get free of everything, cheap and heathcare system ! I am a born Canadian and i dont get free everything, everything is too dam expensive and i spend at the emergency room for four hours. You think that bad ,my doctor has left ?? ! Never believe what the liberals say !!

Look at the stats. Upwards of a million immigrants a year. This video is false. Housing costs are high because the population has well over taken the amount of places to live ( too many immigrants). Show actual data, this is all a lie. Take the video down.

We have heard this lie from Miller before. He always lies.

I call bull buddy. You lie so much

Another heaping pile of LIE beral crap ! He ALWAYS does the opposite of what he says ,,,NOPE DON'T/ WON'T BELIEVE ANYTHING YOU SAY !

my main issue is with jobs. we barely had enough jobs for all Canadians, now most jobs been taken by indians, whoa re willing to work on low wages, lie on resume with fake experience. i am an IT professional and my field has been flodded by south indians. we need IT jobs for citizens. this indian immgration needs to be stopped immidiately. every other south indian want to work in IT causing wage deggredation. go find jobs in india, stop ruining out Canadian job market. they come with fake resume's. fake certs.

DW keeps on pushing this BS lie. Focus on your own citizens.

Are you sure they dont want to stay in Canada?? Dont lie. They are literally protesting to stay and gain permanent residency.

Birn this fukn batti man no man shal lie with another man

Sounds like a lie just to avoid deportation.

On look he’s going to tell all his friends how to lie in order to stay

I hate all religions. I was raised under the catholic lie.

Lived in the US for 4 years and bought 5 rental properties in my home country. Now I'm retired at the age of 34. It was the best decision I have ever made. I am now building a business and want to expand to Canada for my actual retirement. The US is great to work but when it's time to settle down I'd rather choose a slower country.\n\nBut tbh it can also be achieved in a good republican state in the US but I am assuming there will be a civil war there with all the woke ridiculous stuff happening there. Hopefully Trump gets elected and stop the WW3 Biden is aiming for.\n\nI also heard Canadian health care system is a big fat bubbly lie but at the same this is a field the US can't even win against a fifth world country.\n\nGuns? I love guns and support personal militarization fully. Private property and your personal protection is utmost important.\n\nAs a business owner I would never choose Canada because why would I even pay out of my pocket for a girl I don't even know or benefit from at all to give a birth in the first place? Is their kid going to work for me for a full year for free or what?\n\nSo in my perspective Canada is only good to settle down and if I were to build my life I would go for the US again without hesitation. It clearly wins in every aspect.\n\nActually you know what? F Canada, I'll probably move back to the US. Its my land, my private property and I don't accept no prince charles or trudea declaring random crap on it.\n\nBesides making friends in the US is easy AF. I bet in a lot of other countries it's not.\n\nYeah nah ?? all the way baby.

Let’s add a crazy liberal woman Which liberal should mean Freedom But she just wants to lie about the problem. She’s like/is the people that made the problem is the people that made a problem in Britain, Canada, and every other western country 7.18 in the video

nothing could be further from good healthcare lie???

We would like to have you as a neighbor here in Mexico Alina, I'm not going to lie to you, we have some states in which, like even in Canada, insecurity is present, but considering how professional and analytical you are, I think you could choose some strategic place here in Mexico so you can continue with your profession. No matter where you choose, I wish you the best for your plans.

Some reasons for coming to Germany are dumb:\n\nYou mentioned:\n\nfree health care system\ndemocracy\n\nHealth care is partially free and you receive the badest treatment you can get in Germany. Most physicians are low qualified because the good ones move abroud e.g. to Switzerland.\n\nDemocracy is a lie. In Germany you have a Party dictatorship controlled by the USA. So many people recognize after a few years living here.

I told you this a long time ago. The next 3 months will get crazier. The system must and will fail. Do not fear, it must fall. You are not awake yet but over the next 3 months you will see the truth. The media and government lie. You are on a prison slave planet. God is real. Pray.

All VICE does is LIE.. they've been doing it for years now.. its common sense to why this happened.. they were and are being invaded. Literelly flipping their lives upside down and the left dont care one bit.. blows my mind. It needs to happen to people all on the left. they need to have someone taken from them by all these illegal people around up to no good. Its almost like the left has had their bodies taken over all around the world in the western countries at least.. thats how much it makes no sense to me at all.

This is what happens when you lie about an election. Maduro did not win. He wanted to hold onto power. Sound familiar. These people are running from an authoritarian! If Trump wins, we may all be fleeing too.

We are gonna Leave Canada too it’s a lie the country I was better in Mexico ??

Get them out of here, they totally disrespect our rules and we don't have the infrastructure for this.... Multiculturalism does t work if one culture takes over remember Canada only had a population of 40million.. India has like 1.5 billion people who want out... This needs to make sense instead they lie,cheat and steal in Canada and we pay the price for higher rent..

It’s the rich investors buying apartments and land which lie empty most do the year that are creating problems, not the immigrants coming to work and live.

it's a lie, Germany doesn't need any workers because there are no jobs to begin with. yes there are few jobs but they expect you to speak fluent German even if it's an IT job, and the salaries are miserable too, on top of that you will be taxed at 40% or even 45%

I FaceTimed my friend who was at Sheridan college and no lie he was 1 of 2 non Indian people I saw in his classroom.

If you are a Mexican you do need a visa to go to Canada.This is such a lie,you should get your facts right .

This is a lie. Many skill workers are seriously searching and not employed because of low pay, bureaucracy, etc. Stop companies from hiring abroad and take care of their people. It will prevent non cohesiveness in communities in Germany and Europe. Did you not see that people of Germany want less and less immigration?

Free visas from Mexico to Canada were cancelled 6 months ago so don’t lie , old news

As usual the Guardian is spinning a lie. People are not anti-immigration. They are anti-Trudeau and his insane his policy of flooding the country with poorly vetted people in such huge numbers that he has created a catastrophic housing shortage, overwhelmed an already broken medicare system, overloaded our schools and at a cost of countless billions of borrowed dollars. Europe is now deporting migrants in order to save their countries.

i hate anti immigration sentiments of all kinds, i think the issue doesnt lie with immigration it lies in the already problematic housing crisis we have. the housign crisis was already a amjor issue, immigration only made it worse

Canada sucks so bad. A depressing iceland. The quality of life is actually horrible. a big lie.

The government letting them in on purpose Do not let them lie to you THEY CAN STOP IT IF THEY WANTED 2

Mass uncontrolled migration is a deliberate attack on our way of life and news outlets like the guardian are paid to lie to us all about it's intended purpose and consequences. Never forget that.

Its the same law in usa. Asylum can be granted to anyone that enters the country, legally or illegally. Not saying this system isnt abused. There are obviously people who lie and get asylum based on fraud. But to those people who legitimately came to Canada, usa or other western countries based on actual risk to their life from the govt i think its not really a bad thing to welcome them. People who commit fraud should obviously be deported tho.

But the liberal legacy media and their overlords the Democratic Party will look you in the eyes and blatantly lie to your face telling “the border is under control, we have made more strides than ANY OTHER ADMINISTRATION on border security…

But Kamala says the border is secure ! Everything Trump says is false but they never call out democrats who lie constantly!!!!! So done with this ?

As a Spaniard the EU is a lie! It's time for Spain Italy France and Germany to rethink the EU!
