BC affordable housing used to be a wait of a few months at most, now it takes years, and yes they take people who just walked in to the country. Older Canadians and vulnerable people are not a priority. For that there are shelters, which are not homes, at all.
Criticizes immigration policy for prioritizing newcomers over vulnerable Canadians in housing allocation.

I was born in brampton, lived in cbridge then to b.c.! I will never go back!
Heres a fun fact tho, the government opened the flood gate to immigration, red taped housing, started a catch and release program for repeat offenders, even violent ones! And made drugs decriminalised!
From what I heard, there was commercials and panphlets all over differnt countries saying come to canada for a better life, its great here! Many came and because of the housing shortage due to the red tape, people were sleeping on the street in front of the government offices! Its also colder then many people that have never experienced could even imagine! Then there starting from the bottom! A chip on there shoulder thinking the gov owes them and do whatever you can to get payed! Hence why there were so many car, jewlery store, liqure store thiefts and break & enters! The cops were literally telling people to keep there car keys near the door so the thiefs can take them with no altercation!
I blame turdo and sean fraser! Fun fact, sean fraser was the immagration minister then got cabnet shuffled to housing minister during turdos terms, idk what he is now but i think hes still in cabnet.
I try not to be racist but this failed experiment and just plain bad math/out of touch with reality cabinet ministers are litterally making people racist! Its too many, too fast, when there manipulating the housing market by red taping it so much nobody can get a shovel in the ground! The stupidity of the gov is insane! I dont like the convervatives either as they will just swing the pendulem so far the other way too fast, i.e. cut everything! Including when they were hurting single mothers on welfare and persons with disibilities, we need somthing new, maybe a.i. or the upcomming future party, idk but this crap is wak!
Combines personal experience with extensive criticism of government immigration, housing, and criminal justice policies, blaming specific ministers for societal problems.

What about Canadian home builders who never built homes for customers who signed contracts that have been renting for years only to have the home builder request more money from them. Tell me how that makes sense? What about consumer protection agencies? Are home builders immune from the economy? How is the government allowing this because he had a hospital built putting his name on it that it is sustained by property taxes. Who the hell wants this? Who is going to fix the families ruined by this garbage home builder?
Criticizes government regulation and consumer protection failures regarding home builders, framed as questions about accountability and fairness.

Yet another video meant to create hate and division. Why would you let someone claim indians pay no taxes without following up? How can indians pay no taxes when they pay tens of thousands dollars in tuition, buy real estate, and are not eligible for any social assistance? Why not look into who makes up the bulk of offenders in Canada, who's on welfare/disability, who's unemployed? Of course this wouldn't fit your narrative.
Criticizes the video's framing and editorial choices while challenging an unverified claim about Indian tax payment, arguing the narrative is selective.

Canada has lost the plot. Recruiting foreigners for our military should be illegal. There is no doubt Carney is destroying Canada. Canada and Canadians don’t make these decisions. Carney makes them in the backrooms without consultation with anyone. The Liberals take no ideas or instruction from the people who are paying and employing them. They did not elect a Dictator which we have.
Criticizes government policies on military recruitment and accuses leadership of authoritarian governance without democratic consultation.

The real problem is not just people, it’s the Canadian immigration system and the loopholes IRCC has left wide open. In Punjab and other parts of India, wealthy families are arranging marriages where a girl with IELTS comes to Canada, then calls her husband here. Many of these are nothing more than contract marriages, where once the boy arrives, they go their separate ways. This is blatant abuse of the system and has created a wave of people entering Canada without even basic English skills.
IRCC needs to wake up and fix this. Students on study or work visas must not be allowed to bring their spouses. If someone wants to come, let them take an English test themselves and prove they’re qualified. Study permits should only be issued for genuine university students, not random private colleges being used as back doors into the country.
On top of that, no work permits should be given while on a study visa. Employers who hire students illegally on cash as cheap labour should face strict penalties, heavy fines, and blacklisting. Until these loopholes are closed, Canada’s immigration system will continue to be exploited and lose credibility.
IRCC, this is not immigration — this is fraud facilitated by weak laws.
Primarily critiques IRCC loopholes and proposes policy reforms, with embedded unverified claims about contract marriages and fake colleges lacking evidence.
