Discourse Analysis

I'm a retired Canadian Military veteran and I don't live in Canada because the Canada I served is not the Canada that exists today.

My multi-great grandfather was the first Mayor of Brampton (1874-1876). A number of his descendants are buried in Brampton.

Dam i live next to Brampton

I am moving to Canada!!!

It was so bad for me in Brampton. I thought I died and went to heaven when I moved down to st clare in Toronto.

Tardy 27-may 11am it’s finished the test 16/20 passed🎉

I'm a Brampton resident. My family immigrated in the late 90s. I grew up on YTV, TVO kids, Fox Kids, Treehouse TV. I also still grew up knowing my own native culture and religion. I attend one of these temples of worship. Despite this, I still made friends with different races of people. I think my community needs to branch out a little more and learn about other cultures that live amongst us. Maybe we need to have a little less pride on where we come from? I don't know what the exact answer is. One thing I know is we can definitely get along. Just need the community to adapt more and actually learn Canadian culture. Maybe go see a Blue Jays game at the Skydom? Maybe know who Wayne Gretzky is?? LOL.

11:56 as a punjabi the cultural shock was insane the people were asking to put the cloth on that guys head but if it were in my city they would have resorted to violance or wouldnt have let me in gurduwara in the first place unless i had pag on

I knew that "safe house" looked familiar. I used to live down the street. That's 230 15th avenue Lachine Quebec.

Not all immigrants. I an immigrant.I work my ass off from the day i came to this country. 🇨🇦🇯🇲🇨🇦🇯🇲. I work over 50 fifty thousand hrs in my 25 hrs here.no hand outs. And so i thank God for health and strength that he has given me.I am tierd of these people begging me money onthe street .when the government gave them my taxes to live free.

I was born and raised in Brampton (but of South Asian descent via the Caribbean) and it pains me to see how the city has changed over the past 20 years. I was raised to be a proud Canadian and to be grateful for the opportunities that this country has afforded my family and I. I am a Canadian first, and Guyanese/Indian second. The issue I have with the city is that you have enclaves of ethnically homogenous people who refuse to assimilate - I once went into a Tim Hortons at Peter Robertson and Dixie, and was laughed at by the cashiers because I could not speak Hindi/Punjabi (despite being brown). There is nothing wrong with immigration - it makes the country stronger. HOWEVER, that only happens if the immigrants work to collectively advance the interests of the country and accept the rules/societal norms of the country they now call home. Instead, they find ways to circumvent/exploit the system - they are less interested on making society better, and more interested in individual advancement. I live in Professors Lake, which historically was one of the more affluent areas of the city. Now, there are several houses on my street that have essentially become boarding houses, divided into units of four with 10+ people living inside. I fully understand why white Canadians are feeling displaced, and it pains me that anti-immigrant sentiment has soured the way people look at me (despite being born in Canada).

There are some cultural differnces that can be difficult to adjust to. I used to pick up delivery orders from a sikh Indian restaurant, and I would always say "thank you" when they hand me the order, and they started making fun of me amongst themslves and laughing at me for saying "thank you" to them lol. 😂

I'm from Texas. I hate the cold but I'm warming up to the idea of moving to Canada.

even in the little town where i live in western canada there is a community collage and a lot of punjabi's that have straight up told me that they are here for school but only go to 1 class once maybe 2 times a week for just over an hour and the rest of the time they are here working on student visa's where the government is paying half the wage prompting bigger business to highering these exchange student instead of local people

“As an Indian, I feel embarrassed by what some people are doing in the UK, Canada, the US, Australia, and New Zealand. It is not fair. I believe that if a country gives you a chance to build a better life, then it is your responsibility to contribute positively to that country. Instead, some people are involved in illegal activities, and because of this, many truly talented Indian students are suffering.”

I'm a truck driver in the USA and our Chinese client canceled our contract because of the tariffs. It's been a month now of joblessness, and I can't even get other contracts or secure a reasonably paying trucking job. This administration is so cruel and careless

My parents paid into the tax system for 80 years. Ask me how they are treated? It's beyond gross. They gave everything for this country. And what they got in return? Medically? Financially? You have no idea. And im stuck dealing with it. When I should be doing things to help our country. My education and skills are going to waste.

I don't know anyone who is "divided" on this issue. Many of my friends are 1st gen immigrants, a couple of them had to go back to their home country after their visa expired, they were bummed that they personally couldn't stay, but they also openly complained that the levels of immigration was unsustainable, competition for rent/jobs/healthcare too high and felt that some people would have to go back home and it happened to be them.
