I agree 100%.

19:00. Thank you sir for becoming a Canadian while still keeping your love of your own culture. You sir are a true Canadian. I agree with what you say and feel the exact same way.

I agree they should check their culture at the door and adapt to our culture and our ways, or go back home.

I'm an immigrant who came here when i was almost 2 yrs old with my single mother who worked 3 jobs to support me.We're here for 45 yrs.I'm a proud Canadian and agree 💯 with Canadians.Why do we have to accept others religions while they dont have to..How is saying Merry Christmas now a bad thing to say or God Bless..They should leave their religion and culture behind their door and be proud and appreciate Canada let them in ..We need them to adapt to our Culture or go back to their country

im sorry but ya i agree we are headed down a very bad road.

Amen Amen I totally agree with you immigrants must adapt to Canadians culture. Most immigrants are honest hard working people. Some people just come and use and abuse the system, and this should be tolerated it must stop now.

I agree something has to be done. No one seems to be less than a and they are dangerous

I am a new permanent resident in Canada. This video is very true regarding our integration. You are absolutely right. Newcomers must integrate, as it is the beginning of a new life in a new environment. What I do not fully agree with is when you complain about the social benefits given by the government to newcomers. It is not free money; we will pay it back later in taxes. We cannot build life projects depending on these benefits. Ask each newcomer if they are satisfied with these benefits rather than a good job. We want to contribute to the economy of this beautiful country. For example, I came to Canada with specific goals, including starting an IT company, which was difficult to achieve at home due to lack of opportunities. So, don't blame immigrants too much; in my opinion, responsibilities should be shared among all of us, including the government.

I totally agree with you. You are an immigrant and now Canadian and you I would not have a problem with staying, but these ones that are trying to change everything to their belief can go back to their country. Couldn’t have said it better than what you’re doing

I agree with the comments of the immigrant contributors. You come here for a better life, that’s why you left your country. Now that you’re here, you refuse to integrate with this country’s rules and way of life. You bring your religion with you and that fine BUT, practice it in your places of worship and not force it down our throats. Further, don’t try to change our culture by crying foul every time you don’t get your way. The politicians have to change their corrupt ways of cater for a vote and uphold the values, rules and laws of this country…..unfortunately it may be too late. The media is fueling the immigrant hate by not addressing some facts. Facts like these jobs that they want now were looked down upon by the residents as being beneath them. The immigrants took those jobs at minimum wage, dirty menial jobs that you did not want. Now that the job market is almost non-existent, you’re complaining about no jobs. The jobs would have been yours if you didn’t think it was beneath you when it was available. The term that fits is “ snooze, you lose “.

I agree 100%..we are ALL brought here in hopes of a better life..which means one must assimulate to the countries belief systems and customes..while maintaning your own at the same time..assimulation is just respecting all people.

They say racism is taught. And within young kids you can see and hear very clearly it totally can be as it’s heavily based on perspective. As someone with autism I genuinely just see people for who they are and what they provide ignoring race or politics and I’ve never been racist. With all of that said I almost feel as a white Canadian now a days what “first generation racism” feels like. But it’s not like traditional “racism” hating for the sake of hating. It’s more so getting mad that they come into our country refusing to adapt and then also take countless amounts of jobs while sky rocketing housing prices. Like damn when I was a kid I felt like I had so many options. But now there’s no seeable future for me it feels like. Immigrants are taking so many jobs and countless people faking disabilities so I cannot have mine taken seriously or properly. Like holy crap man call me “racist” but mass immigration has undeniably changed Canada for the worst and if you don’t agree you’re probably one of the problems that moved here

i agree

I agree with the these people's comments regarding the immigration issues. I've been Canadian for over 50 years and this is the worst I've seen or experienced here in this country. Why are we as major tax payers are forced to finance the lives of these people who are only here to take from us, not give back in any way for us who supported them coming in to feel it's been a good decision made by our government, from our pockets. They do also bring their war, stealing, lying, scamming with them, creating more division with us who were living peacefully before. There's so much more that I see and experience now, that makes me want to leave, and it shouldn't be me who leaves home for others who have no good intentions.

The crime rate even in our city of saskatoon has sky rocketed phenomenally. My grandchildren are not safe anymore. And sex trafficking has also increased phenomenally as well. Just sickens my heart. My daughter in law hasn't been able to get a job for 3 years now and has put out 300 resumes. I had to wait 2 years for an mri and people are dying in the emergency rooms in our hospitals. I agree with everything they are saying in this video . Our government sucks for letting this happen. Trudeau started all this corruption

I’m so sick of the Muslims and their bs being here they get 7 grand a month from our government to live free in Canada it’s disgusting when we have our own people poor hungry . These people are ignorant I agree with the African boy your not here to change or ways but adapt to ours

I don’t agree with giving incentives of money to newcomers like why? and maybe on a very limited time not a longer period of time. And child benefits should not be given until they’re working and contributing. Because I have heard of a story of a woman who had like three or four kids and she said that I don’t need to work. I have child tax benefit coming in and they were refugees.

I'm an immigrant, move here for 25 years and me and my kids adapted to the culture and I agree with all the Canadians.

being an Immigrant, I should agree Canada has lost it's culture.... :( , sad that people are not getting the jobs, local students are suffering

I am a newly arriving immigrant Indian. Been a year now and I have a good job and I am really loving what Canada has to offer. I agree with the frustration - I find myself cringing at the videos of people violating public norms of decency, and the job market is really bad now for services as companies are employing a lot of migrants for a cheaper price. Immigration control, regulation of companies so they cant go below a %age of Canadian citizen/residents along with effective government stimuli to boost the economy by targetting certain industries will tackle a lot of the problems. As for people discarding garbage anywhere and other unwanted behavior - name and shame. These videos are also going public at least in India as a source of great shame and the more eyes on it, the less people will repeat things of this nature.

Isn't that sick 2 people? 7 or 8 years in jail for peaceful protest. I hope so many Canadians come out to defend them. I'll be one of them. Government. Pretty d*** disgusting, Trudeau. Made that happen telling my neighbors when they had an extra person in the house. Go to hell. I can't stand none of you. I totally agree with that woman speaking about this. I refused to totally hate myself for my opinion. I see. What's going on? It's a takeover.

I totally agree with them. Free this free that free everything more struggling. What do you believe? Why wouldn't people reach out about it? It's not right

I agree. Canadians are not getting jobs. All Canadians of every color. The govt is responsible for this epidemic. Cdn born students cannot get a job at any fast food joints. They are occupied by fake students . Chalo, fresco, no frills, real cdn superstore , Costco, Amazon etc are only hiring Sikh punjabis. This is called discrimination against the Cdn citizens of ever colour. Our standard of living is down. Send these so-called student back. Not forgetting the refugees who are collecting free housing, free money for clothing shelter. We did not vote for these million of refugees to come to our country with all their hate for Canadians and our way of life. Close the borders. Especially Roxham in Quebec. Criminals, terrorist are entering Canada without being vetted. Home owners should have the right to defend themselves against home invasion.

I agree

Man I agree with you why they try to change our language. They should go back to their country

I agree with you lady. I am not racist neither but I am fed up that some nation come here and try to make their country, We Canadian born here and our parent grand parents born here and they are the one that built this country and some of these immigrants are trying to destroy US and OUR COUNTRY, If you come here it is fine but leave according our rules and our freedom us Canadian with respect, Let s wake up Born here French Canadian bilingual I have been working for my country 50 years and cannot ge unemployment......the F.......system is fuck up Let s save our Country. God Bless us Canadian and Canada

As an immigrant I highly agree…IF YOU CAME TO ANOTHER COUNTRY FOR A BETTER AND PEACEFUL LIFE YOU SHOULD EMIGRATE, RESPECT AND BECOME PART OF THAT COUNTRYS’ CULTURE AND NOT TRY TO DESTROY IT. Cause I’m sure that tourist who visit certain countries are expected to do the same . For example if I wanted to travel to a Middle Eastern Country I would have to wear a Burka or another form of head covering even though that’s not what I’m use to. So yea…If you can’t respect Canada for its culture STAY IN YOUR COUNTRY OF BIRTH AND STOP TRYING TO CONFORM CANADA INTO SUCH.

I agree JamCan, they left us with no other option than to become the 51st state. We need ICE up here to get rid of the trash 🤮 Our Liberltard gov’t is making it worse every day

I agree with over percent with what the white women said at th e beginning.. The part that she actually does have to hear and accept is the truth..Her ancestors were and are colonizers, those are basic truths.. But the Government must turn the taps down on immigration right away, it is totally out of control.. Things are at the point where no one Zero more immigrants from India and Pakistan should be allowed to enter the country, for at least the next few years , until the government can get a true handle on things.. I really don't think the government officials have any idea of the pace at which Canada is rapidly changing.. It is mind boggling the rapid changes and that's from every single nook and cranny of this once beautiful country you will see new immigrants.. There are places i went to as a child with my folks, where you would never have seen nothing but white people, maybe a few native people, a couple of black and oriental folks and that was it.. Now there are car loads of east Indians running around some actually living in those communities.. I am not a racist person, but that's my own observation on the ground.. I think every single Canadian in this country would have the exact reaction..

I completely agree with the black fella in the beginning. I am from Guyana and sadden to see the direction this country is heading. Specifically Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs. It is a mistake letting these people in, they bring no value to this country.

Look at what is happening. Europe is welcoming Canada into their trading block with open arms. Where is the US turning to? Russia. The irony is that Putin hates the West, always has , and he hates the US in particular. I agree with Clark. Trump’s getting played and he doesn’t even know it. He’s got a lot of $$ in Russian banks and is in Putin’s pocket. When are the Dems going to get loud and get rid of this guy? He is definitely compromised.

I’m American I AGREE WITH THE CANADIAN PRESIDENT!!!! We know what he is doing and not EVERYONE voted for HIM! The American ppl are aware that we will suffer, we’ve been suffering! Many of us are casualties of an unnecessary war!

I’m embarrassed living in the country. Still proud to be in America, it’s just disgusting to see what is going on. All of us do not agree with this and many other terrible things that are going on. I stand with Canada. This current US administration is a disgrace.

My dream is that Canada would join the United States to create a super power like no other. But I don’t agree with how Trump is trying to force their hand. God bless EVERYONE.

Although I agree with the Canadian government they must be careful.The United States is a very strong country that is self reliant. But good wishes

I agree with some things Trump is doing. But fighting with foreign nations is not one of them. Canada even agreed to invest a billion dollars to fixing the border drug issues. But that doesn’t seem enough for Trump still.

I do not agree with the idea that there will be no winners in this war. The side with a trade surplus between the two countries and the countries that are somehow outside of these trade wars will emerge victorious from this war.

There is a problem with the Canadian banking system, where its culture of risk, avoidance, hobbles, development, and growth. I think you were trying to make this point and I would agree. We could do better.

As an American ??. I agree. Canada, your prime minister is one a hell leader. I can appreciate this message

I agree with every word! \nMy respect for the ones that has the guts to say it like it is!! \nThinking a bit further: I hope this has no consequences.\n\nAn unpredictable narcististic fool that call the shots makes no better choices for anyone but himself (so he thinks)\nIf the best way to silence a bully is too ignore him, he'll never shut up, 'cause it's not possible.\nMy God, does he ever just shut the f*ck up...\nHe doesn't deserve any attention, negatif nor positive \nUnfortunatly that's not an option. \nWhen we can't ignore him, is it wise to react by telling him that he's stupid? He likes being called out. Give him something to react so he has an excuse to do more stupid things. As narcististic as he is, he will (logicaly/probably/likely) react as a stupid bully....so we're feeding him. Any attention feeds the bully. \nHe seemes to love the negatif, but there's nothing positive to say.\nShould we than speak anything at all?\nNow is the time for the smartest diplomats to come together \nGood Luck everybody ?

I agree but we don't have a lot of leverage

Improving economy is crucial but that doesn't mean we should throw away our morals.... I agree with canada

Calm down Canada. Trump ain't playing and I for one agree that y'all have literally skated through life. Skate away big boys. Uuuuuuu! Who are you threatening? FFS!\n\nAnyway, I'm in Kenya worried about police killings and such...?

I'm an American and I agree with you Mr Trudeau.

As a Republican... I agree with many things our country needs, like tougher border security and a crackdown on the government. I do not agree with tariffs to Canada, especially them. They have always stood side by side with us. The American taxpayers will pay the tariffs. Globalization is to limit our opportunities. Trump needs to think it through.

I agree with Trudeau on this one, even though he is a clown on other things.

I don’t agree with Trump but I’m trying to understand this….So he (Trudeau) punishes his own nation with carbon tariffs then tells his nation how tough it’s gonna be now that a foreign president applies tariffs…I’m sorry I just don’t get it…instead of starting a fight that will hurt us even more, why don’t he just let go of the carbon tax to help the suffering…\nIs he actually care or is it just politics ?

Thank you for separating the american people from the very small percentage of those in the White House administration behind these actions. Most americans are not in agreement with any of what's coming out of the president's office. He's lost sight of what American really stands for - and that his role, along, with those of his administration, are paid servants. Obligated to SERVE every citizen of their country - including representing and fulfilling the wishes of the people they serve. Whether they like all the people or agree with the needs of all the people. The people of our country don't want what's happening with Canada, Mexico or Ukraine. Or Russia for that matter. As an American i apologize. God bless us all!

From Bangladesh, I acknowledge Prime Minister Trudeau; he gave a very beautiful speech, and I agree 100% for a smart guy that it was a very dumb thing to start a war with allies.

As a citizen of the United States, I stand with Canada. I am from Michigan and don’t want my home gas going through the roof. I didn’t vote for the damn racist dictator. I am for human rights. I don’t agree with Trump!!!!!!!! Good speech Trudeau. Keep standing up to the bully.
