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?

Hello from Canada.
There is no labour shortage that is entirely a lie. A vicious evil lie when so many people are unemployed.
There is no divide at all. Canadians overwhelming support much tighter immigration and for people overstaying visa holders to leave when they expire. Getting a student visa obviously doed not mean you get to stay. The previous immjgration system was a disaster and we are suffering for the damage done and will be for a long time.
Critiques immigration policy as a 'vicious evil lie' and claims widespread Canadian opposition to immigration, mixing policy analysis with unsubstantiated claims about public consensus.

What about entirely stopping the temporary foreign workers program, for every industry, other than agricultural. Canadians need jobs, too. It can't ALL benefit big business at the expense of unemployed Canadian citizens.

Is zero way is it a tragedy that Canada cant take every citizen in the world who wants to move here. Honestly the opinions of the main stream media are ridiculous, why dont we just pave a golden road for them all and make sure they all have 5 bedroom, 6 washroom houses with 4 car garages and Olympic size swimming pools, now that fact we dont have 7 billion houses like that in Canada with the same amount of farm land and natural land is the real tragedy, wake up and get your head out of your ass

Let’s take it one lie at a time. First the video opens saying over 850k inhabitants, within a minute or two all of a sudden the population is now 750k. Meanwhile the actual population is 650k.
Brampton has not been a city of 18k or 28 k as many for at least 60 years. In 1980 the population of Brampton was over 200k, so very far above the supposed 28k.
Slightly over 150k are from India or of Indian ancestry, so not a majority. A little under a third of Brampton inhabitants are immigrants. Again not a majority.
Homeless shelters are usually found in churches, especially ones with homeless centers in them like the one visited by the video crew.
4 bigots in the streets is what was interviewed to present a bigoted view of a city. Everyone of then deserve a serious beating.
Asshole content creators. Reported.
Systematically critiques the video's factual accuracy regarding population statistics and editorial choices, calling out misleading presentation.

Charge the colleges and universities that allow them to take courses and pass them like Conestoga College . They turned a blind eye ask students who were there. It's all about the money.

I found it telling that Michelle confidently quoted the wrong number (79,000) and, when Aiesha corrected her with the accurate figure (47,000), she immediately switched gears to “Where are they?” rather than owning the mistake. …
I found it telling that Michelle confidently quoted the wrong number (79,000) and, when Aiesha corrected her with the accurate figure (47,000), she immediately switched gears to “Where are they?” rather than owning the mistake. That dodge makes me question her judgment. It feels like she’s leaning into fear‑mongering language that easily panics people who aren’t paying attention to nuance — which, sadly, describes most of this comment section.
Also, did you see the reply to the Filipino student who voiced frustration? “You guys make up some of the most cleanest restaurants I’ve ever been to.” That kind of response speaks to a lack of respect for international students. To many in the Canadian workforce, international students and migrants are treated as disposable labor — steered toward low‑ and middle‑income jobs. Yes, fraud should be dealt with, but it’s lazy and unfair to claim that all Indians or international students come here through fraud. If that logic ruled, we’d have to start deporting every non‑Indigenous person — which ignores the whole reality of colonization.
The commenter critiques both specific government communication failures and broader systemic issues around how migrants/international students are treated, with moral concerns about fairness and respect.
