American here. I can't tell you how much I miss having a president that speaks like Trudeau. Instead we have a bunch of 4 year tantrum throwing toddlers.

American compares Canadian and U.S. leadership favorably, praising Trudeau's communication style relative to Trump's.

I believed the incompetent leader we have in the UK was the worst, but it appears that Trump and Vance make Starmer and Rayner seem appealing—and believe me, they certainly are not

As an Indian living in India, I’d say it was your country’s government’s problem and mistake, similar to what the UK is doing now. Aside from government or policies, Indians immigrating to Canada is something that dates back to the British era, when Britain sent a group of Indians, specifically Sikhs, for security or labor work in Canada. This started the trend of Sikhs (turban-wearing ones) moving there.
In modern times, the West was richer in terms of education and infra compared to Asia, which attracted many normal students and families immigrants also.
Canada and America were built by immigrants, but now things are saturated, which I understand, and that’s where the resentment comes from. The majority Sikh state ( punjab) in India is still behind in development and job wise cooperation, and the historical pattern from the British era of moving to Canada for a better life has become a norm for many young people there. The close, collaborative nature of Sikhs—like a cousin in Canada inviting another cousin from India to come over, open a shop, work together, or share housing—is another reason many don’t hesitate to immigrate. These are some of the reasons behind mass immigration from India.
Now, with saturation, the resentment toward immigration has grown. India itself faces issues with immigrants who live off our taxes, take rights meant for native children, and abuse policies, laws, or the environment. At least Canada has better-off immigrants—educated and contributing to the economy. While some may depend on taxes, most are hardworking and self-sufficient; otherwise, Canada’s economy would have collapsed by now.
In end i can understand the hatred but you guys should stop this yourselves - not hunting them but prevent more.
Provides historical context comparing Canada/UK immigration patterns, analyzes structural reasons for Indian immigration (development gaps, family networks), and acknowledges saturation concerns.
