Dominion Society of Canada - High-Trust Society vs Low-Trust Society ｜ Immigration in Canada

00:00:00.000 high trust society, low trust society dynamic. And I don't think people understand this very well.

00:00:06.640 I think a lot of people treat high trust society as a bit of a buzzword. But what we're talking

00:00:12.760 about when we bring up high trust societies and low trust societies is a very distinct cultural

00:00:16.980 difference. And people who have lived their whole lives in Western countries might not be familiar

00:00:22.000 with this dynamic. So a high trust society is very simple. We have social programs, charities

00:00:29.880 that are set up that don't have a lot of oversight, that are compliant on a high trust

00:00:36.560 dynamic in society. We give you things. The food bank is a really simple example, right?

00:00:43.060 At a food bank, people donate food. People that have extra food donate to the food bank. So those

00:00:49.680 who are needy can come and get food when they're down on their luck, when they're economically

00:00:54.060 dispossessed and they can't afford food. This is a good program, right? It's a good charitable

00:00:58.680 program. But there's not a big bureaucracy. They're not checking your pay stubs to give you

00:01:03.400 food. If you need food, you can show up at the food bank and take some. That's a high trust

00:01:07.680 society, right? We assume that people respect the common good, that people are, there's an honor

00:01:13.580 code, that you're not going to take advantage of the system, that it's there for those who need it.

00:01:18.200 and that works if you have a cohesive high trust society who all kind of understand how the system

00:01:27.020 works but a lot of third world countries especially india they have low trust society and in low

00:01:34.380 trust society the dynamic is very different the dynamic is more if you're not taking advantage 0.74

00:01:39.380 of other people or if you're not taking advantage of the system then you're the fool there's a 0.98

00:01:45.420 certain logic to that. I understand it. I don't like it, but I can understand where they're coming 0.98

00:01:50.440 from. You're the fool if you're not taking advantage of free stuff that is being offered 0.98

00:01:57.040 by a charity or free money that's being offered by the government. And this is how our food banks 0.99

00:02:02.160 become a free food hack for Indian migrants. They're offering free food. I don't have to pay 1.00

00:02:09.040 for food. Why does anyone pay for food? They can just go to the food bank. That's the low trust

00:02:14.380 attitude. You and me as Canadian citizens, no, we can afford food. We're not going to take

00:02:19.740 advantage of the food bank. That's for people who need it. That's a high trust attitude. The low

00:02:24.720 trust attitude is there's free food. Why would I buy food? I can just go take the food. And you

00:02:29.040 can see this at scale in the OSAP scandal. Gurinder Singh Bhatti, resident of India, sees

00:02:35.480 the government of Canada will give free money to students. Well, we just need to find people to 0.98

00:02:40.760 pretend to be students and we can just take free money for the government. This is the low trust

00:02:45.360 attitude that Indian migrants are bringing to Canada. I like our high trust society. I think 1.00

00:02:50.900 it's a good way of organizing things. But it doesn't work if we import millions of people 1.00

00:02:55.940 with these third world low trust attitudes who are just going to come here and they're not going 1.00

00:03:01.080 to adapt and transform and adopt this high trust attitude. Sure, some of them will. But lots of

00:03:07.180 them will be like these stupid Canadians. They're just giving out food. Why isn't everyone taking 1.00

00:03:11.940 the free money? You're the idiot if you're not defrauding the government. The government's 1.00

00:03:16.200 giving out free money. Why aren't you trying to take advantage of it? This is the dynamic of a

00:03:21.080 low trust versus a high trust society and why we have to take immigration policy very seriously. 0.97

00:03:25.880 We can't be importing millions of people every year from low trust cultures and expect our high

00:03:32.120 trust structures to sustain themselves they're going to fall apart and some libertarian types

00:03:37.900 will be like well this is just the result of the welfare state it should be abolished

00:03:40.980 i don't agree with that i do think we should have social supports for the needy but we can't have 0.99

00:03:47.160 that and have infinity immigration at the same time especially from the third world it's not 0.98

00:03:52.460 going to work you're just going to see more and more scandals like this i'm sure there's way more

00:03:57.580 fraud that's going on that we have hardly chipped the surface on. We've seen a lot of sketchy

00:04:03.360 behavior happening in Canada's trucking industry, again, around Indian migrants. We're seeing this 1.00

00:04:08.900 now. I'm sure there's lots of other schemes and scams that are being run by migrants from the 1.00

00:04:16.060 third world to take advantage of our high trust social support systems that are going around. 1.00

00:04:21.020 So that's what we have to learn from this OSAP crisis. 1.00

00:04:29.000 It's unacceptable, but this is the obvious result

00:04:33.340 of having a generous welfare state 1.00

00:04:35.760 and infinity immigration from the third world. 1.00

00:04:38.380 It's only gonna get worse 1.00

00:04:39.520 unless we start sending these people back.
