Remember friends this doesn’t count all the “students” and “refugees”.

I'm irish-finnish and my ancestors came here from a combination of 1900-1948 and they were very hard-working people and made an effort to put everything into trying to fit into the older canadian society, so I respect them. Sometimes they weren't treated well and were disrespected but they tried so hard to make an impact in our country, even if it might've costed them their lives. I respect anyone who comes to Canada and tries their best to be a hard worker and integrate. However I don't respect anybody who comes here and doesn't try to fit in and leech off being a student. You never enter somebody's home and claim it's your own.

Notice how fast India accelerated after 2015?

If you ask Indian in India what is the capital of Canada, they will say Brampton. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 This is no longer Canada, this is a new state of India.

Canada used to be a place you could be proud of being from. Right now I think I'd rather be, in no particular order, living in USA, England, or Australia. I don't have issues with anyone or any culture in particular, but demographics are something that should change slowly over time, such that you don't really notice, not something that is ramrodded down your throat.

What is the boundary between China and India?
The Fraser River

That was one of the most depressing things I have ever seen.

My buddy went to truck driving school and the class was taught in Punjabi and they needed an English translator just for him. English is no longer the main language here.

Judging from these comments, humans are an extremely tribal species, and people tend to prefer their own tribe and dislike or fear other tribes. No amount of education or hectoring can change that. Diversity is not a strength, it is a big problem.

If anyone is still wondering why QoL has fallen so much in the last 20 years, your answer is right here 🤣

My great great grandfather is in local history books here in alberta. He was a carpenter from Sweden and built the first homes in our town and there is a photo of him when he purchased a ford model T. First guy to buy one in my area

hard to watch. it is how a country is overtaken without a war

This explains a lot about why Canada was such a great country with such a bright future but now has so many problems no one wants to live here, not even people born here.

I had been planning a travel to India. but now I can save big on the money and time by visiting Brampton ON to experience great Indian culture, food, and people.

this is very interesting! I'm a Canadian of full Portuguese ancestry, my grandparents immigrated here in the 50s and 60s. Interesting to see us up on the board for a while! Interesting to see the rapid growth of certain groups.

Could it be said that Usa, Argentina, Brazil, Canada and Australia are the historical "Big 5" of European immigration? 🇪🇺

Canadian Government's discriminatory actions towards the Chinese who were brought over to Canada to build their national railways in 1881-1884 and this graph proves this fact !
1885-1900: 0485-4107 The Chinese Immigration Act invokes a $50 head tax on Chinese immigrants (equivalent to $1, 576 in 2021)
1900-1923 4107-38133 The Head Tax was increased to $500 (equivalent to $16, 200 in 2021) equivalent to a two-year salary of an immigrant worker at that time !
1923-1947 38133-29955 The Chinese Exclusion Act

Punjab + China….the largest reason in a multi faceted issue for exploding real estate prices

[rodweinmeyer]

Cartels from India sponsoring the immigration of cartel members through friendly ( or threatened) immigration workers?
