So whose fault is it? Shouldnt the Canadian government expel people who cheat their visa? and why being so racist in showing Indians as dirty in the thumbnail. .. i do agree there are people who have zero Civic sense...

I completely agree with the man at 2:06. We are all expected to assimilate with the culture that we are staying with. This is expected throughout the world. It should not be any different in our hemisphere.

As a teen Pakistani Canadian who was born in Canada I totally agree, to move countries is to adapt to new ways of living, new values and respecting lands on which they inhabit. Indians mostly come here and start living the way they used to effectively turning Canada into new India… all I’m saying is I don’t mind respectful people but if you come here acting like it’s your motherland you need to learn to respect the culture and land here.

I don’t understand like you bring it 4 million of them in four years. This is too much you change the whole system in Canada and most of them are getting free healthcare freeform free apartments look the Canadian total debt increased by like $300 billion in a couple years because of those people I’m not against Indian. I have Indian friends but this kind of Indian people like you go there like you’re built like 50 call what the hell is wrong with you like you have to understand that’s a Christian country or they believe in God in one car they don’t believe in paganism and 20k kids. Still 4 million people is not normal to move in 4 years Is not fair Even im albanian u bring 4 million albanian in cannada i dont agree with it Is like increasing popullation 15 percent in 3-5 years Indian people drive bad than the cannadian people pay high insurance rates So you called me in Canada and you use free houses free renting free stuff and taking the other people money it’s not good that’s why you need to make your government India to develop your country better and not to attack the Muslim and be racist against the Muslims and the Indian Muslims Here we go with pagan gods looks ugly statue, bro the God is the creator of everything there’s no human gods stop leaving in fairytale paganism

I have never voted conservative before, and I agree with Michelle. Vassy is embarrassing herself. Bogus asylum claims. The evidence? Ummm, the amount of rejected claims? Indian students claiming asylum after their student visas expire and they can’t get PR any more which their “consultants” promised them.

You might not agree with bike guy, but this is Canada, it's his home too. And he has the right to an opinion, and the right to express it. I appreciate his honesty.

I agree. We are suffering to support fraud.

I agree with Michelle somewhat, but she doesn't need to exaggerate. It will be a lot stronger if she gives just the actual numbers. 80% of claimants are legitimate , it's not 50%. I wish both sides would just stick to facts.

I agree with Michelle, what she's saying is 100% right

I agree with her points but why do most Conservate MP's have such a mouthy way of explaining their views???? A lot of what she is saying is already taking place.

I typically do not agree with a lot of what the conservatives say, and I usually do not like anything that Michelle Rempel Garner says (or the way she says it). However, what she said here, and the way she said it, makes complete sense. I was a bit disappointed that there are no actual numbers as to how much the government would save, but it doesn't seem like a bad idea to put the legislation in place, and whatever they save is a bonus. imho Be the Change You Wish to See in the World 💖

Yes, I agree, that’s my premier 🫡👌👍

I agree that Canada has become a safe haven for criminal behaviour dependent on voluntary compliance. This is a systemic problem that is going to take years to correct. Grateful more is being done and I hope laws continues in that direction.

ngl i agree with bike dude, like I'm not racist but he's somewhat right, he got some good points

I immigrated to Canada when Jason Kenney was the immigration minister, came here as a permanent resident. Having said that, I do agree that our immigration system is out of whack.

Wonderful conversation and I fully agree! Thank you both for your contributions.

1:30 im in the United States and we have recently had a crackdown on non English speaking Indian truck drivers. I totally agree with this woman right down to not wanting to be interviewed!

i liked the white guy on the bicycle. i agree with all of his opinions

Thank God Canada is full of indian people, can you imagine if they all were from any "Peacefull religion" african country. 98% of them are law abiding simple people and same goes for chinese too. BUT I fully agree that Turdeau govt should not have opened the gates for everyone after Covid, Student Visa/legal immigration is a different issue.

2:03 wise man. I agree with him.

The country is not divided liberals and conservatives agree on this issue. We have allowed too Any people in recent years which has outpaced housing and infrastructure. I am an immigrant moved here in 2007 and I think the wave of immigration in the past 10 yrs has been too lenient.

To be honest this is something all political party’s from across the spectrum agree with in Canada at the moment, we literally have no housing . We the Canadian Tax payer have been footing rbe bill to keeo these immigrants/ refugees in rather nice 3/4 Hotles for the last few years . I’m a farmer who lives in the county but the closest city to where I live is Windsor and for the last 4 ish year the Government was hosting them in Five Hotel's across the city . It got to the point where it was cheaper for the government to BUY the hotels then rent all the rooms , so that’s what they did … No I’m all for helping people but that is kinda pushing it don’t you think ? There are no jobs for them , no homes for them , etc . We have been in a trade war for the last 2 years with the two largest economies in the world and we need to focus our economic power on thous conflicts at the moment and if the world like it or not fighting that is out top priority and everything else comes second .Even with out that fact Our former government overloaded what our ability’s where capable of handling . We have a pretty advanced social care network but these new folks who have never payed a dime into it and are living off of it for years with the government having no real plan on how to deal with it is just to much , with our with out the economic conflict we are currently in . The facts are the facts and we live in reality, anyways you guys all have a good one , cheers .

As a Canada who speaks both French and English and who follows politics quite closely, I have to say that the headline and some of the reporting here is quite misleading. A reduction in immigration has broad support across Canada. I wouldn't say that notion is dividing the country in any significant way. You do have certain industry groups that disagree, but among the population these reductions have broad support. This is a historic change in public opinion in Canada, but it has been driven by the unprecedented increase in immigration under the last term of the Trudeau government. To put this in context, non-permanent residents in Canada numbered around 1.5 million on Q3 2023, but by Q3 2025, that number sat a just over 3 million. The previous government increased immigration targets by 3 or 4 times over what they had been for years, which caused a number of economic issues. Essentially, the volume was simply too high for the economy and society to support. This was unfair to both Canadians and new comers, many of which could not find employment or afford a decent place to live. The changes being suggested are largely bringing Canada back to what the targets were for over a decade before, though a bit lower to account for the sudden surge. Canada remains one of the most pro-immigration countries in the world. However, and this is where I think DW's reporting is misleading, there is a distinction to be made between policies at the federal level and policies at the provincial level. Immigration, per our constitution, is a federal matter, however, Quebec in particular is distinct from other provinces. I don't mean only culturally and linguistically, but also in the powers that have been devolved to it by the federal government. On the question of immigration, Quebec has more powers and more ability to set its immigration targets and programs than any of the other 9 provinces. The particular program discussed here, the Quebec Experience Program (PEQ), is a particular immigration stream that only existed in Quebec. So what is happening with that program cannot be labeled as a whole-of-Canada thing. Where the changes to the PEQ are controversial, unlike the general changes at the federal level, is that people who immigrated under that specific program were promised certain things. There was a multi-year time line to Permanent Residency and then Citizenship. Many of those people have been in Quebec for 5-8 years already. However, the changes made to the program were done in such a way where people who many years into the program, had gotten an education, started a career, had children, ect. are now being told they can't continue and must leave Canada. There are even stories of people who married Canadians, now have children, and the one parent who was under this program now faces the possibility of having to leave Canada and be separated from their family. All through no fault of their own. That is what many people see as unfair, and I agree, however limiting future applications under the program, to bring in less people, that is not controversial. Canada has no responsibility to bring in people who are not already in Canada, but Canada does have some responsibility towards people who uprooted their lives to move to Canada and built new lives here based on promises and representations made to them by the Canadian and Quebecois governments. We should no simply kick those people out of the country.

2:00 wait... But he's not completely anti-immigration like I've heard during elections... It's an unfortunate situation but I do agree with him. Immigration is good but you have to keep in mind how many immigrants you can wellcome as a country. p.s: I'm Romanian

As an indian I can agree but india can't even give good jobs to its own citizens how do yo expect us to sit here die . Our government does nothing for LGBT rights because of which many people migrate to live a better life

As an Indian. I agree our govt shud focus on teaching mannerism , civic sense and discipline

I agree with you 100 percent.

You are a pretty good influencer you know how to get engagement but the thing that you might miss is that you also plant seeds of racism in people's brain, I get your idea about the illigal immigrants and I totally agree that all the illigal immigrants should not only be deported but should also be punished strictly and I get it that it's frustrating that people are not following the rules or people are doing bad stuff there but the thing is not only the content but also the intent behind the making and releasing this video, you could have mentioned illigal immigration but you choose to use words like Indian invasion and giving a name to a specific event would cause racism and hate towards the community as well as for the country, The way you showed the clips of specific people showing middle finger in cars I can show a tons of videos of native candains doing the same thing but then it's morally wrong because everyone's not same, same way just check out there's a lot of people who does bad things in public who are the citizens of Canada and who are doing bad stuff, imagine I make a video saying that "The stupid canadians who doesn't follow rules" that video will also show partial truth of some Canadians doing stupid things but associating Canada's name would spread racism against them which is wrong, same way you could've made a video on illigal immigrants who came from india but you choose to get more engagement by using racist terms and things which will make people think that all indians are same, in conclusion I just want to say that in america the highest earners are American-indians and I really thank us government for giving opportunities to them but they not only worked hard for those opportunities but they also worked more then the Americans to get to the top, if the America would have a better person to be the ceo of Google then sundar pichai must have been in india but since he's the best he's at the top same way every american-indian or legal immigrants not only worked hard to get there but also worked more to reach where they are, YOU HATE US, CAUSE YOU AIN'T US. (If you have talent skills and passion come to India and try to become ceo of Reliance industries or TATA group and if you really manage to do it I will not only say sorry but I will myself get all the Indians out of Canada) ✌️♌

My parents immigrated in the early 90s and I was born in Canada. It’s very hard to relate to the new immigrants in the last 10 years because we’re so different. The families that immigrated in the 80s and 90s had to assimilate and become “Canadian” which in hindsight was for the best. I learned about my culture and language at home, but my parents, emphasized the importance of being “Canadian first” and being a part of society and “fitting in.” This wasn’t at all a bad thing. I learned to ski, skate, make ice lollies with snow and syrup, went camping, played sports… I feel embarrassed when Indians are looked at in this light, but its true. 90% of this new wave of immigrants on “student visas,” dont intend to actually obtain any sort of an education, instead they use it as a pathway for permanent residency. I know this because I have relatives who say this out loud behind closed doors. I don’t agree with any of it, and quite frankly it’s very embarrassing, but most of us first generation Indian Canadians feel very upset about how its all played out and the negative light in which our people are now viewed under. Personally, I agree they arent interested in becoming culturally Canadian, they just want to be in Canada for financial reasons. They stay in their groups, dont integrate and think somehow this will play out well. It isnt discrimination when your own people also feel this way. I have yet to meet a first gen Canadian who disagrees

5:50 I agree, I'm thankful the government is starting to revoke / cancel visas to try to get a handle on things. This goes beyond just Indian people. It's for all people that immigrate to our country. I agree, I think if people come to my country, they need to assimilate. Learn our languages, understand our culture and integrate. I feel that they need to create another sector to follow up on visas, check in on people, monitor. I also feel the banks need to monitor the amount of money people are sending back home, I understand some money. But not everything.

Shoot all illegals! No matter what! If you cross a border illegally to come to North America you are fair game. I agree with the lady that said the influx of illegal foreigners is RETARDED! Stop coming here! You are NOT WELCOME HERE!!!!!!!! Go back to where you came from.

Hi so I totally agree with not wanting your country change BC on immigrations and stuff and that this is like wrong but the things some ppl were saying is ACTUALLY really racist especially the guy on the cycle like hello are we not gonna acknowledge that??

I agree with most of what he said except native Canadians are not white. Let’s remember that they were the first to invade. Native Canadians were almost murdered to extinction 😢

We cannot say "I don't agree with this" without losing our jobs which a lot of our taxes goes to foreign wages and Canada keeps printing money.

I agree indian should return to India and white people should return back to Europe and leave the land back to native

As a ‘Indian’ born in Canada I agree something needs to be done. The government is to be blamed for giving them false hope and not enforcing visa rules.. The guy on the bike however is insanely racist can we stop hyping up? He literally said we’re ‘lucky’ it’s Indians and not Africans or Muslims. Be so deadass what the fuck?

I am Indian American and totally agree with bike guy. Saying truth is not rasicim. That's so sad to see

The guy in the bike should get his facts straight about Africa. Certain countries, yes I agree but he clearly knows Nothing about South Africa.

The guy on the bike should run for office. I agree most black people are dumb as fuck and violent

As an Indian I agree with the stance Tyler has made, but I also saw a comment saying "Wanting your country to not turn into India is not racist." definitely it isn't but do you know what is suggestively r@c!st? When the bloke mentioned 'Motherland Punjab' the editor snapped to a cliche dirty road that seems to be Indian.

Inspite of all these Indians are just 7% of Canadian population and being Indian, even I don't agree with most of the things, like erecting a big idol or trying to Indianise Canada. When you go to that country learn to respect their culture , inspite of being less than 10% of the population you stand out because of these behaviors

I agree with the bike guy better indians then africans.

im in the UK and agree with you guys - Canada is unrecognizable within the last 5 years; mass immigration of low class immigrants, selfish and greedy people - they could live in their own country - if not then integrate into Canada properly like with the UK and New Zealand and Australia and others and contribute better - Am I asking for too much??

I'm a black American and I agree with everything the bike guy said lmao

I agree with the racist guy. Indians aren't perfect but be grateful they aren't Africans 8:21

I'm also Indian and I also live in Brampton, Ontario, CA and I can agree that the Canada's Indian Invasion is WILD. Also, a location you visited is called Trinity Common Mall and I visit there almost every week, it's right next to my house haha. I have also visited some of the locations you have visited in this video. Aside from that, this video was great in explaining the invasion and I'm glad you stepped up to inform the situation. Also, that's my brother sitting on the left by himself at 9:26

Will state that I agree with the mature man in the blue coat. Once you decide to reside and become a citizen of any country it's imperative that you assimilate into that's country's culture. And to the gentleman who had the helmet on... I agree with you 💯💯💯

I agree that indians have no civic sense,but not all are same...stop putting finger on all indians

Thank God , there is no Brown Sepoy in comments barking"As an InDiAn I aGrEe WiTh yOu SaAr".

I’m Muslim Indian African, but I agree with the bike guy
