A man of Portugese origin (who were not even considered as White as the WASPS and Northern-Central Europeans till 9.11) is calling white Canadians "native". He should ask his ancestors and the ancestors of his fellow Southern European friends the kind of problems they felt and how difficult it was for them to assimilate in the society. Discrimination against Italians and the internal migration from NY to NJ is known to most people. Spanish were not even granted citizenship for the most part. I agree that immigrants should assimilate, not create a dirty atmosphere and be respectful but the xenophobia in this video is insane and so ironic, coming from a Portugese man.

How ironic the European immigrants crying over Indian immigrants. Your people snatched the land for our Native community. Our resources, our culture, our language got wiped out because of you people. It's strange being in majority and yet ranting over immigrants. Karma follows everywhere 😄😄

The scene reminds me how natives felt when European settlers come and grab their lands and their resources. Now same immegrants doesn't want to take any more immegrants. That's quite ironic. Apart from anti - immigrants Canadians should also focuse on who already immegrated and involved in crimes. Then only you and your children could live peaceful life.

Are the people complaining about 'immigrants', not the descendants of mainly European 'immigrants', who took over someone else's country/continent? How ironic!
