Probably all of you voted for this mess so deal with this now!.

My friend’s family bought a house with tenant two years ago. Big red flag Ik. For the past two years they didn’t pay a single penny in rent. They’ve been fighting to get them evicted but they give excuses to not show up at court. Even accused the judge of being racist to delay the eviction process. Finally they got evicted by Marshall last week. They owe over $60k in rents. Now they have to sue to recover the rent. After paying lawyers to get them evicted, god knows how they’re gonna recover any money. \n\nThis is in NYC, it’s a messed up system. And it’s not gonna change anytime soon.

As an immigrant myself i complained about this 10 years ago .. this issue had been brewing since many years what we r seeing now Is just the result …govt marketed immigration very well but did nothing to increase the resources to match what was coming …medical school highway etc everywhere and every thing has been mess especially in toronto

It’s the pendus of Punjab who create mess wherever they go to even in India. These people from villages of Punjab are the most uneducated & have no civility. They are destroying the social fabric of Canada by their aggressive behaviour. \n\nWonder how these pendus clear ILETS??

After reading a few of these comments, the main take aways are, there are a lot of immigrants, things cost more, healthcare is a mess and inflation.\nI am sorry that things are hard, the costs of everything are up everywhere in the world so good luck in gentrifying other nations and making your problems their problems.\nIt pains me to no ends that after things get tough in Canada many are ready to jump ship for better softer areas where they will trash the place with their incomes creating inequality there as well and then blaming the mess that they will create on the indigenous people that they will abandon for better pastures.\n\nAs a Canadian of native ancestry I never had it anywhere as good as many of the people here complaining about their middle class woes.\n\nMaybe if you fought for a change, like more housing to bring down the prices and fought corporate greedflation and gouging, realizing that much of this problem, the attack on the healthcare services, much of it being done by the conservative governments, then perhaps you would not be so annoyed with Trudeau.\n\nHe is not helping the housing problem by not building the 2 million new homes that he said he would but NIMBY people are making this difficult. They want the charm of a nice middle class feel to their neighborhoods but when it comes to housing, they don't want to build affordable near them and then they complain with their rents are too expensive or the costs of things too high. \n\nI can't say I feel much pity or empathy with most of the people complaining about their lots in life because as far as I can tell, many natives would love to have your problems but the best that many of them can do is to live in their own lands, homeless, even on their own reserves because there is just not enough housing. Yet when the prices of housing was going up, many homeowners loved it, even though it meant that the poor, the actual poor and not you lot, were stacked like firewood into smaller and smaller rooms with no AC so it was hot in the summer and freezing in the winter and the slum lords are having a hey day. \nThe actual first nations people are homeless and being killed daily and are arrested for being poor daily but you lot think you have it bad. \n\nSorry, when non first nations people say that they will leave Canada because its not how they remember it when they were kids and its worse now so they will jump ship to gentrify other nations, I just shake my head and hold open the door as you leave the nation and wonder at your arrogance and egoism.

Liberals Justin Trudeau ruined and destroyed Canada with the support of NDP Jag meet , Canada is a mess right now. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is the only hope for Canada right now.

Sadly she not telling the truth about how bad Canada has become under radical LEFT control. Canada is a broken mess now as bad as America? Crime drugs homeless run away inflation very anti CHRISTIANS

I know some peeps who moved to Canada got lump sum from gov, didn't pay their rent, collected monthly cheques for the 3 kids and after 10 months left the apartment and put a down payment on a house !!! messed up !!!

The immigration is ruining peaceful country’s with crime ,they are devastating our schools ,hospitals,also devastating country’s finance ,these people expect free housing etc, there are not enough jobs ,uk is full,they are attacking citerzens ,there religion does not mesh with western ways,enough is enough .we worked hard to make our country’s for our own people ,not because of there never ending religious conflicts that date back over a 2000 years,we want no part of their mess

The natives must be chuckling...\nWe know now how it feels???\nUnfortunately , as things worsen, it will be bad for everyone, except for those who made this mess...

in short canada was good but it got bad because its goverment is run by a bunch of selfish criminals,yes you didnt say the last part but i know the last part because i have done my research.\nits people are great its goverment sucks,youre country is not the only one more and more western country's leadership has turned into criminals over the last fuw decades and today its realy showing when they let there own country's get so bad people are leaving.\nofc there are good people in goverment am not saying there not but its clear the people making the dissisions are not good people.\nits the same in my country we have a weird messed up leadership thats increasingly making bad choices that make our country worse,some people migrate away other stay and fight it.

This mess could have been avoided, or a least minimized with proper leadership. Saying it's everywhere and blaming covid are sad excuses. It didn't have to be this bad.

no country is obligated to fix another's country's mess. It is grace that is extended and should not be an expectation. \n\nWhen resources are thin, when many people immigrating are not respecting their culture and causes chaos, they have every right to pull back and set healthy boundaries.\n\nThose who disagree can sell all of their belongings and become homeless so they can buy an island to house these people. I dont see them doing that. I wonder why.\n\nI guess VICE is still living in 2015.

The problem is: “The government you elect is the government you deserve.” - Thomas Jefferson\n\nI'm saying that Canadians chose the mess this country is now in. The government is awful, yes, but it's not like that is the only reason Canada is in decline. Canadians have to look in the mirror to see the problem. You can't have everything for free or expect someone else to make sacrifices.

Prices never go down to any meaningful amount. Canadians are stuck with high prices, high taxation and inflation. It’s going to take decades if the mess can be fixed ?

I'm a Canadian and I moved to Asia 20 years ago. My motivations for leaving were the endless winters, the absolute necessity of having a car and two sets of tires, crazy insurance prices, and getting taxed on everything without seeing benefits. Now when I visit I am shocked at the price of everything from food to gas to hotels. In addition, I hear that housing has gone through the roof. Many can't afford to buy and face bidding wars to rent a place. With oil, timber, minerals and more, Canada should not be in this position. The government(s) have really messed things up and need to start reversing these trends now.

Canada is a totaled vehicle. Courtesy of Justin & Friends.\n\nWe need to Defederate this mess.

Canadians don't seem to like the current state of events yet keep on voting for the very same people who make this mess.

The fact that anybody can claim asylum is messed up. Only skilled workers that can contribute to the economy should be allowed to stay

X\nMy zoom ?️ is is a mess we ou If luiiluiluiuui

Anti immigration or anti Indians working at Dim Hordons and mess up orders? The guardian has no credibility, throw bunch sentiment with mix of intentional data, then you get lots misled viewers. And Toronto condo market has collapsed atm. \nImmigration and affordability are two separate issues. Affordability and housing crisis are also two separate issues. \nThere is a rental housing shortage because of immigration. Affordability is caused by policies, tax systems, leveraged out investors(rich immigrants with foreign cash). \nYes blame immigrants for housing shortage, but no , don't blame immigrants for affordability.

Progressive liberalism destroys every city and nation. There is only one way out of this mess, but Canada will not succeed because too many people still believe what they see on television instead of what is actually happening.

Seems like most places have changed and changed for the Worst! High Costs, Crime, Invasions, Idiotic Politicians, Homelessness, it's a mess everywhere to say the least

It is very hard to point out all the negatives about Canada (at this time) without getting into politics, but I am looking forward to your video.\n\nCanada has changed over the last 10 years that it is unrecognizable. While many countries have changed due to global factors, many changes in Canada can be traced back to the policy issues and politics (all levels of gov but especially federal gov). That includes: 1) mass immigration (at a time when we have a housing crisis and most of ppl living here cannot afford a place (to buy or rent)), 2) crime - this is directly related to changes introduced by the federal liberals, 3) drugs - federal liberals again, 4) housing crisis - all levels of gov - most of people in Canada cannot afford a place to buy or rent - what kind of country are we???, 5) economy (GDP/capita has been decreasing for 2 yrs now, investment per worker has been stagnant or decreasing, productivity) - our economy is real estate, education and public sector, 6) deficit/fiscal irresponsibility - all levels of gov but federal liberals are exceptionally good at this. We are a mess.

Indo Canadian here. Anti Immigration <> Racism. It is about selecting need based immigrants and not project Management diplomas. We need nursing, Doctors etc and not Uber drivers. For those who are in healthcare qualified and driving ubers need a path to certification. The Other aspect is scapegoating as immigrants are the easy targets. While real issue is the policymakers who enabled this mess. Essentially promoting falsehood, setting false expectations and getting wrong allocation of immigrants. This is also fueling fodder to far right which are using this for scapegoating the victims over policy makers.

When Europeans were busy with wars, creation of fuss & mess in muslim countries these immigrants had no option other than migration but now Britishers & Americans are confident that they hv enough occupied territories in arab & asia , therefore they are trying to send bak refugees to make them the fuel to the firs of terrisom. Where will muslims go, neither you allow them to live in their own countries peacefully nor do you give them space in Europe & America.

Sad to see you leave. Not everyone has the fighting spirit. Welcome back when we get this mess sorted out.

Thank anyone who voted Liberal for this horrific mess. Progressive governments are a cancer in the western world, and they have destroyed Canada. Shame on the Liberals, and shame on Liberal voters.

I grew up in Canada..Calgary to be more specific. I have now been away for 10 years, living in Chile. I go visit every couple of years and I understand completely, id have a hard time moving back. Maybe for people who have arrived in the last few years it seems fine, but for the rest of us that remeber how it was 15, 20 or 30 years ago..its a shocking change. The big cities are full of drugs and homeless, which increases crime. Its expensive and good jobs are hard to come by. It seems to me 2015 was the turning point and only these last 2 or 3 years are Canadians realizing the mess that has been created.

Well said Ma'am. I am also looking to leave what this country has turned into. Homelessness, rampant inflation and taxes, unaffordability of food and basic necessities, it's horrible what is happening in this country. I can't afford to retire here as housing costs are insane. Health care and welfare are overtaxed to the point of being useless. And it will take decades for this country to recover....immigrants who have come here are now leaving after not being able to survive here anymore. I can't trust the Canadian people to vote to get us out of this mess...

It's not that I like Poilievre, but Trudeau and its team have really messed the country.

It's disgusting the Country is a mess all because of Trudeau mismanamgeny\nWhat a mess.\nThe people coming here are not given the true information ,we have both been con by our top people

I don't see none of the reporters interview the MPs ( there are 5 of them in this region) or Ministers responsible for this. What is the point of asking opinion from the victims? why don't you ask these questions those who caused this mess ?

When I saw that this was posted by the Guardian my first thought was the article would be a narrative slanted heavily to the left. I'm glad to see that there was some accurate reporting, but also not surprised to see the usual left wing disingenuousness. For example it gives the impression that the Take Back Canada Reddit group was taken down because it was somehow racist, violent, etc., rather than the more likely explanation that Reddit, like most other big tech platforms no longer allows discussions that go against the political narrative. \n\nLet's not forget that The Guardian and those of their ilk are largely responsible for the mess Canada is in. They sold the Marxist narrative. They promote wokeism, and the idea that to have a contrary opinion on immigration is racist. Now they're trying to pretend they care. It's all BS.

What's interesting: I am a German thinking about moving to Canada, because I believe Germany is a mess. We gave home to more than 1,000,000 refugees since 2015 and still more to come. I am kind of distracted of this video and all the comments. Where would a Canadian go, if he or she wants to leave? Switzerland? Australia? NZ?

It's the Gov't, the weak, non-enforcing Gov't of Canada. I reflect back to highschool, we had teachers we knew we could push..... goof off and talk back to and then there were teachers, everyone knew, don't mess with, that had a zero tolerance policy. Our country is obviously the 1st example, you'll never see this happen in China, anyone/everyone that goes there knows, don't try and play the system, don't push or they will push back....AS IT SHOULD BE.

Audio normalization of this particular video is a mess. To the audio post production engineer, you can do much better than this.

it is the british mess in the commonwealth

This should not be legal. That's messed up. They're taking those jobs from people that actually need those jobs. It's not easy for people in South Asian middle class families to get these jobs as their English is not fluent so these jobs go to privileged and educated families. They're getting the airline blacklisted by doing this, reducing jobs for the poor in their home country. This is selfish. As someone from a 3rd world country, this is dangerous. I've heard so many cases of people ending up as slaves because some idiot conned them into doing this. Canada also needs to look into corrupted politicians getting PR cause they bought land there through money laundering schemes in the home country. And these issues have existed even before Trudeau came into power. Stop blaming just 1 person, blame the entire system.

Its not really an immigration problem its the Gov that messed up.

Trudeau needs to go. We need to stop these students from coming who are looking to work instead of studying and going back. Trudeau created this mess. Look at all the crime in our nation. Shop lifting , gun violence etc etc.

Remember, the people in charge of fixing this mess, are the same people that will benefit the most from doing nothing.

Lock the doors until we clean up the mess here first

Treadue has created this mess. He has invoted the immigrants all over the world.

It's funny when the US itself is responsible for ruining the lives of people in the Middle East with its war policy to benefit the weapon manufacturers in the US, and yet they come and blame other for the mess they created.

Its all about watering down the cordial. So big gov can take control. Remember the movie WALL -E. It has nothing to do with political failure. Its all a stage to set up 100% political control. Mess things up so bad. That the masses beg for help from the gov under full control

Classic lying politician trudeau got Canada into a big mess. Never believe do gooder left/liberals they always wreck everything.

It makes me so mad seeing her sitting there talking mess about how no family should go through that. This makes people hurt people. This disgusting that this isn't a crime.

These people choose Islam and sharia law and everything that comes with it.thats exactly why their countrys are the way they are, exactly why they're in the position they're in and despite the consequences of their choices,they keep choosing Islam and even demanding sharia law within the new nations that take them in, just turning the new countrys that take them in into the same mess that they're running from.so the ultimate problem is they're not learning the lesson because 1 they're not ready to learn it yet and 2 western nations keep saving them from it.the lesson is if thay feel that sharia law is so great compared to democracy then they should be forced to stay right there in it.they made they're sharia law bed now they should lay in it
