Canadians Quietly Feel This Now…

Hinzugefügt: 2026-05-23

[00:00:00]This is not Canada. You hear me? Not Canada.

[00:00:04]Canada is losing its culture really fast and this is coming from an immigrant.

[00:00:09]So, I fully understand why Canadian politicians are entirely disconnected from the rest of their country.

[00:00:15]This guy believes anyone can be a Canadian.

[00:00:22]Don't go and play around because this is your nation at risk.

[00:00:27]Now, if you check in Canada, every weekend, literally every weekend it seems like there's some crazy riots happening in downtown Toronto.

[00:00:35]One day you woke up and Canada felt different. Flags, slogans, rules you never grew up with are suddenly everywhere.

[00:00:45]Canada changed fast and a lot of people feel like nobody was allowed to question it.

[00:00:50]Just a few years ago, Canada felt different. Different culture, different values, different sense of identity. People used to feel connected to their communities. Schools felt normal. Companies focused on service and merit. Politics stayed mostly in the background of everyday life. But now, everywhere you look, things feel political.

[00:01:10]Corporations push social messaging.

[00:01:12]Schools teach ideas many parents don't even recognize anymore. Hiring policies changed. Public conversations changed.

[00:01:20]Even basic opinions can suddenly get people labeled or attacked online. And for many Canadians, it feels like the country transformed almost overnight.

[00:01:28]But here's the thing.

[00:01:29]This didn't happen randomly. Some people support those changes.

[00:01:33]Others feel like the Canada they grew up in is disappearing in front of them.

[00:01:37]And whether you agree or disagree with everything happening, one thing is undeniable. Canada does not feel the same anymore.

[00:01:46]Canada is losing its culture really fast and this is coming from an immigrant. A lot of people are not going to like what I'm saying, but it's the truth. As an immigrant myself, I I with a lot of respect. Your job is to support the country, not change it. You left your home country for certain reason. Now you're abroad into a different country.

[00:02:03]Your job is to adapt within the system.

[00:02:06]Your job is to speak the language. Your job is to understand the system, not overriding it with your own personal value or your own personal belief. Now the reason I'm saying this is because that there's a video circulating in Quebec regarding international student protesting in universities stating that the French-speaking class must change.

[00:02:26]They must be taught in English.

[00:02:28]Do you understand how stupid that is?

[00:02:31]You chose to go to Quebec. You chose to go to a place where the majority of the people there, they speak French. So why are you there trying to change the rules? And that's just the tip of the iceberg among so many other things that is currently happening in this country.

[00:02:44]Now you have people that are complaining stating that, in order for them to get a job, they must speak Punjabi or Chinese or or Taiwanese or something.

[00:02:51]Where this country national language is French and English.

[00:02:57]This guy believes anyone can be a Canadian.

[00:03:19]It is a wake-up call to hear someone claim a national ethnicity doesn't really exist while standing on the soil that generations of families built and defended. If we tell people here in Canada there's no such thing as Canadian identity, it's just a legal status, we're erasing the values and heritage that made this country a destination in the first place for this guy to come to.

[00:03:40]You cannot expect to maintain a society when you replace the idea of a unified people with a system of convenience that ignores our heritage and historical reality. What makes this guy feel like we can keep our country if we tell the people who built it that their identity doesn't really exist?

[00:03:57]I'm so I'm here right now because basically I've been seeing the erosion of the Canadian culture for the last kind of like decade and two decades, but really within the last 5 years we've seen a huge increase in the amount of immigration. And I went from seeing people who could integrate into Canada and I respected all those immigrants and their hustle and everything that they did to be a common part of this country, but nowadays I see immigrants who don't care about our culture. I'm hearing a lot of foreign languages in every part of the city, not just in certain areas.

[00:04:28]And it's like I'm seeing the erosion of hearing English out and about because they don't feel like they have to speak English anymore because there's too many of them. So they're creating their own communities and they're dividing Canadians and I feel like that's what they want the Canadian people to be divided. Whereas like if these people knew they probably have more things in common with us than they actually know, but they would rather stay divided so that they can look at us as the bad guys. When actually we're the people that stand for not only us, the rights of everybody to feel safe in the community and the rights for everybody to come together and be able to have discussions like this cuz we don't always have to agree, but there should be a sense of there should be a sense of unity within Canadian culture and for Canadians to be able to speak to each other and speak amongst each other about hey, what is the issues or what is changing and what do we want to do about our future because our kids are going to want to feel safe and we want our kids to be able to succeed and have a good future inside of Canada because Canada does have a lot of potential to be even better than what it already is. And that's what I truly believe and I believe a lot of the people here, if they could actually hear us and have a discussion, they would realize like there can be a better Canada and we can make a difference today. So I fully understand why Canadian politicians are entirely disconnected from the rest of their country. It's because the city of Ottawa actually feels like what they say Canada is. If you live in British Columbia, if you live in Alberta, if you live on the East Coast, if you live in parts of Ontario or Quebec, and you hear them talk about what Canada is, you're probably confused. Because if you're older, the Canada that you grew up in is gone, and if you're younger, you never lived in that Canada in the first place.

[00:06:06]This place is actually a bilingual city.

[00:06:08]It's relatively clean. It's relatively safe. Everything is beautiful and big and it feels like, you know, Canada. But if you live in Vancouver, you're dodging people who are using drugs. If you live in Calgary or Edmonton, you feel like your job in the resource sector is at under threat. If you live on the East Coast, you watch your cities and your towns shrink and get smaller. All the while, politicians in the government in Ottawa tell you that it's actually not that bad and we all just need to be elbows up. Well, it's easy to be elbows up when you live in a place that actually feels like what Canada is supposed to be.

[00:06:39]Introduce yourself first. Yeah, my name is Steve from Windsor. I just came down here today with to be with everybody.

[00:06:46]And we're just displaying our our dissatisfaction with our politicians and not taking care of our country people. And I always I always think about the soldiers who fought for this country and how they feel sickened by what's going on here. You were telling me how your father feels about this. Your father being a soldier.

[00:07:02]>> father's 86, served five years in his navy and doesn't even recognize this country.

[00:07:07]I I was born in this city. I don't even recognize it.

[00:07:10]I I just don't know what to say anymore, but something needs to change. I think it's terrible that we we we we go out of our way to dishonor our soldiers. Every year I see on you know, Remembrance Day, they go out of their way to not post, to say stupid shit like that. You know, but they'll go out of their way for immigrants and everybody else in this country, but not the people that afforded the freedoms to be the assholes that they are today.

[00:07:29]>> Exactly. And and Remember 10, even five years ago in Canada when basically everybody in media would talk about multiculturalism, diversity is our strength. Don Cherry was even fired for basically saying newcomers to Canada should wear a poppy and then he used the phrase you people instead of maybe all people. Wow, an 80-year-old person is not using the exact phrase that you want. He was fired for that. Now, if you check in Canada, every weekend, literally every weekend it seems like there's some crazy riots happening in downtown Toronto. Some group is fighting with some other group. I mean, it happens all the time. There's wild protests all over the country for things that are happening not even in Canada.

[00:08:10]What are we doing? I do not want to hear any more of this diversity is our strength, multiculturalism seeming to be like the most important thing in Canada.

[00:08:19]Those things are fine, but they should not be the goal. The goal should be economic growth, social cohesion, better health outcomes, things that actually matter more. We chase this ridiculous thing. Now, we have a country that's incredibly divided. It doesn't look like there's much social cohesion. It's It's not just um internet things, too. If you go in public, I don't see a lot of social cohesion lately in Canada. I think things have gotten objectively worse in the last 10 years or so. Since 2020, there has been a threefold increase in the migration of Indians to Canada, and they are now approaching the 4 million mark.

[00:08:59]This is what Toronto looks like now.

[00:09:03]Not a Canadian in sight.

[00:09:13]>> [screaming] >> Since 2020, there has been a threefold increase in the migration of Indians to Canada, and they are now approaching the 4 million mark.

[00:09:32]This is what Toronto looks like now.

[00:09:37]Not a Canadian in sight.

[00:09:47]>> [crying] >> Since 2020, there has been a threefold increase in the migration of Indians to Canada, and they are now approaching the 4 million mark.

[00:10:06]This is what Toronto looks like now.

[00:10:11]Not a Canadian in sight.

[00:10:21]>> [screaming and crying] [screaming] >> Since 2020, there has been a threefold increase in the migration of Indians to Canada, and they are now approaching the 4 million mark.

[00:10:40]This is what Toronto looks like now.

[00:10:44]Not a Canadian in sight.

[00:10:55]>> [crying] >> One day you woke up and Canada felt different. Flags, slogans, rules you never grew up with are suddenly everywhere. Here's how it happened so fast.

[00:11:15]Governments, schools, and corporations all synced up with the same playbook, and this was based on financial incentives to do so. So, now you have land acknowledgements before meetings or announcements, gender identity lessons in classrooms, and quotas to hire minorities. Kids are taught these as core values instead of debates, media, and big brands copy it. So, now every ad and storefront has the same message.

[00:11:43]Now, you have pride flags at city hall, small towns, and even sports teams. The old identity around freedom, resourcefulness, and peacekeeping has been replaced. Now, it's all about identity politics. Now, short-term, this new vision is locked in. It's in policy and it's in funding. Medium-term, it could slow down, but only if there is a scandal or economic collapse. Long-term, it's either going to be permanent, or if there's pushback, it might go to something else, but it'll never go back to the way it was. It's always going to have residue in there. And here's the thing, if this culture feels foreign to you, there's nothing wrong. It's just what that is is it's called cultural dissonance. You no longer align with what the culture has become. And no matter how good the economy gets, it'll never truly feel like home. Tell me about Canada cuz I am freaking out about Can- Canada. Canada is I I mean, I look at it, I'm like, it's lost. I don't know how they recover. Canada went from this kind, polite little to a death cult with their with their medicine and their healthcare.

[00:12:51]Um Carney is I mean, he is Mr. WEF.

[00:12:56]Now, you have uh you know, um you know, you you have uh what is it?

[00:13:01]Alberta that is thinking about, you know, breaking away? That would be I mean, what happens to Canada?

[00:13:08]It is it's a terrible One good thing about Keir Starmer being so unpopular is that the assisted dying bill has been dropped, which it would have would have allowed people to be killed on the state. So, that's been dropped. So, we're not going down the route of the appalling legalized suicide policies that they have they have in Canada. I was in Vancouver last week. Massive problem with homelessness, massive problem with drug addiction. When you see what's going on in the cities, it is atrocious and it's a result of Justin Trudeau's progressive ideology and and Mark Carney has just floated in there after ruining things in Britain. A lot of the problems we have are due to quantitative easing that made it very unaffordable for young people to get on the housing ladder. It was Carney who did all those policies in Britain that we are now suffering from. He then goes over to Canada to ruin ruin their economy and ruin that I mean it's but it's terrible but it is the World Economic Forum ethos that we're seeing near this green ideology, this high-tax ideology, this DEI ideology and they spread it around the world and one of the things I think the right needs to do more is to have that international you know movement that is prepared to take these people on because we're all fighting the same battle. Amen.

[00:14:32]>> So, I've got a Canadian question. Why is there such a lack of outrage after finding hundreds of dead indigenous bodies? Like, we know why but think about this. Remember the Humboldt Broncos? If you don't know what that is, Google it. Remember the all of a sudden mobilization of everybody in the freaking country? Remember all the vigils? Remember all of the money pouring into God knows where cuz we don't actually know what the money was for or what happened to it. Where's your energy now? And before you be like, "Oh, I just found out. I didn't know." You didn't know about the bus crash either until it happened and all of a sudden you all mobilized in two seconds. But bring up residential schools and the literal genocide of an entire people and all of a sudden it's just a dark chapter in Canadian history and we don't really know that much about it. If your energy is not the same if not more for what's happening right now and has been happening for years. You're part of the freaking problem and you need to re-address your life. Canada is just as racist. Don't let anybody lie to you.

[00:15:30]Mark ain't playing around because this is your nation at risk. Canada is on the verge of losing its identity, losing its nation.

[00:15:39]So, really this Prime Minister is just doing whatever he wants, whatever he wants.

[00:15:46]And I believe for the banner for the benefit of the entire nation. I I really believe that these are the moves that need to be done.

[00:15:54]So, what he's doing with China, what he's doing with Qatar, what he's showing to the European nations that they can stand up for themselves and be strong and be confident.

[00:16:02]And all very quietly.

[00:16:04]Right? You You don't see him going on Twitter and this and that and making all these announcements. No, he's just making deals, signing papers, pushing it forward. And every single day something new and good is happening for Canada by Canadians for Canadians.

[00:16:22]And for the first time in a long time Canada is starting to act like a real country. And you know what? I don't think there's anything wrong with having a little of that. Canada is changing. And as someone who nearly spent 17 years here as a kid and someone who comes back to visit every so often I want to talk about some of the things I see because I moved back to the UK mid-2016 and my family emigrated here in the late 90s and things are very different now compared to how they used to be. And if you're living here these changes might seem incremental, but for me as someone who comes back maybe once a year, every 2 years you notice it more and more and you see the changes happening in the community.

[00:17:08]I used to live just outside Vancouver and in South Surrey. So, I'm going to speak in specifically this area. I I know how it is on the East Coast. But the first thing is just cost of living is is exploded and I don't know how people get on uh just because of how expensive things are and I know, you know, that the wages are better in Canada. There's There's good good wages, but when you factor in what the taxes are, you factor in the cost of petrol or gas here, the the cost of housing, cost of food, it it's very surprising that anyone has anything left at the end of the month, especially as a young person. I I don't know how it is for older people and people in their 40s and 50s. They've probably got some house equity, but in terms of people in their 20s just starting out, it doesn't seem like the best place to be starting your life, really, unless you've got some sort of a way to get that housing deposit and get started.

[00:18:07]So, that's the biggest thing.

[00:18:10]Uh the wind's a bit in my uh headphones here, but um yeah, in terms of terms of the cost of living, it's just everything that I see in the shop is extortionate and these are things in the UK you could get for significantly cheaper, same in El Salvador where I currently live. It's just It's madness and I don't I don't understand why Canadians put up with it.

[00:18:33]Second is in terms of the weather, right?

[00:18:37]You don't notice it when you live here.

[00:18:38]You just get on with it. You You bottle along.

[00:18:42]You go to work. You come home. You have your dinner. You go to bed. Repeat. You go to school.

[00:18:47]But you come back to this and you can see what this is like.

[00:18:52]It's pretty much like living under a continuous cloud in Vancouver, right?

[00:18:56]And there's a lot of good things about the country. I'm I'm not dissing the country, but in terms of the weather and how it makes you feel, how it makes you sleep, how it affects your body, it's it's crazy, right? And, you know, if you're living in this and this is what you're used to, you don't know how good you could have it in other countries.

[00:19:16]And I'm not just saying the grass is greener elsewhere, it's really is in that case.

[00:19:22]When I lived in the UK, I had the same problem. And I went to El Salvador in March, and it was the best decision.

[00:19:28]Now, I'm in the warm all year round, and it the vitamin D it makes a big difference. So, that's the big thing.

[00:19:37]You don't notice it when you're living in it, and you maybe sometimes think, "Oh, well, weather's a bit rough today, isn't it?" Well, you really notice when you come back, and as you can see now I'm laid up. It's 5° out here, and it's freezing cold. So, yeah, big difference.

[00:19:55]The third thing is I'm going to turn around. Bit gusty, so you can imagine how cold it is. But, uh you really notice now that people are not as happy anymore. And it's it's quite sad, cuz that's been one of the good things about Canada. People are very polite, people are quite friendly, and in general people have been a lot happier here. Used to see a lot people that had their cabin that they used to go to on the weekends, they'd have a camper van, they'd have a boat. You know, they'd go off and do things at the weekends. People had good lives here, right? Way back when. And there are some people that still do, don't get me wrong. But, that that vision of what you can have, that you used to be able to have, is a lot more attainable for everybody back in the day, is now very difficult to obtain, because getting a deposit for a mortgage, you're talking hundreds of thousands if you want to get a house. So, the the standard of living our parents had in this country is significantly less, uh significantly better than what people in their 20s today are going to have. And that's a sad thing, really, because there are a lot of good things about this country, and there's a lot of good ways you you can build businesses here.

[00:21:09]You can do a lot, but why would you do it here when it costs so much when you can go to other countries and do the same thing and you can have a better quality of life. You can have better weather, lower taxes because the taxes same as the UK don't really provide much of return. I mean, yeah, you you've got services, right? You got a health service and they tell you at the government that, you know, you got to have your free health care and all of that and it's great, but try going to A&E. Try go to emergency. How long you going to wait?

[00:21:41]It's not like that in every country and they tell you that it's the best thing to have, but reality, just like the UK, it's not and you pay a lot of taxes for it and when you need it, it's not there for you. So, you don't notice these things until you go abroad and you know, when I come back and I I hear about what people are talking about and I see how things are in the supermarkets, that's when you notice.

[00:22:05]But if you're living in it, you don't notice these things.

[00:22:09]Follow for more content and check out El Salvador. You'll see how nice it is these days.

[00:22:14]Maybe the hardest part about all of this is that people don't even recognize how much Canada changed until they stop and really think about it.

[00:22:22]It's not just one policy.

[00:22:24]It's not just inflation. It's not just politics. It's the feeling the feeling that something familiar slowly disappeared.

[00:22:34]The Canada that many people remember felt simpler, more united, more relaxed.

[00:22:40]People felt like they had a future here.

[00:22:42]Homes felt attainable. Communities felt connected. People trusted each other more and being Canadian actually felt like a shared identity instead of a political argument.

[00:22:54]Now, a lot of Canadians feel exhausted, divided, disconnected from the country they grew up loving.

[00:23:00]And maybe what frustrates people the most is feeling like they're not even allowed to talk about it honestly anymore.

[00:23:07]Because the moment someone says, "Canada doesn't feel the same."

[00:23:12]people instantly assume anger or hate.

[00:23:16]But for many Canadians, it's not hate.

[00:23:18]It's sadness.

[00:23:20]It's grief for the version of Canada they grew up with.

[00:23:23]A country that felt safer, more affordable, more stable, more connected.

[00:23:29]And maybe some people watching this disagree completely. That's okay, too.

[00:23:34]But clearly something changed because millions of Canadians across every age group are feeling the same frustration at the exact same time.

[00:23:43]The real question now is, can Canada rebuild a stronger shared identity again? Can people trust each other again? Can young Canadians still build a future here?

[00:23:52]Can this country feel united again?

[00:23:55]Or has Canada changed permanently?

[00:23:57]That's the conversation people are finally starting to have openly. And honestly, it's probably one of the most important conversations Canada will have over the next decade. So, now I want to hear from you. What's one thing you miss most about old Canada? Let me know in the comments, and if this video connected with you, subscribe.

[00:24:15]Because we're going to keep talking about the issues a lot of Canadians feel every single day.

[00:24:20]But feel afraid to say out loud.
