nah these comments r wild. I’m not Sikh but know that’s their “knife” is actually a kirpan. No the cop was not right! I understand if someone was just carrying a knife around, however , this is religious. This is why people need to be educated, but no, no one wants to educate their kids about different cultures now days. The poor kid, the kirpan is used for defence, and only if peaceful options haven’t worked.

I came to Saskatchewan Canada as an international student in fall 2023. I did a care assistant program and was attracted to coming to Canada because I kept hearing that there is a labour shortage in healthcare in Canada. However I feel like everything just started going to sh*t in 2024 when I was finishing up my program ?.\n\n One of the things I'd like to highlight about the small towns is that they can be very biased in their hiring practices. Some of us as (black) students had a hard time getting jobs in healthcare in the town because jobs were given based on family and friend linkages (so mostly white or Filipino people got hired). Also there was a severe housing shortage. So even though locals (from my perception) wanted us to stay and work in healthcare (because they are short staffed), realistically there was no where to stay. Canada can't say it wants people in more rural areas and not improve housing in those areas as well. I have honestly been rather disappointed with Canada because I expected better planning from a developed country.

And this is what we call, a ladder puller. Now that she was able to become a citizen, rather than helping her family members to get their legal status, which can be difficult, tedious and very expensive, she could care less if the lives they have already spent decades on building here are completely destroyed. She seems to be fully aware that it can be a difficult process, and I personally have seen that it’s not exactly a fair one either. I have seen some people spend not only years waiting on a hearing or a determination, but spend thousands they scrape together on lawyers and obtaining records, while others submit minimal evidence and get a determination in weeks. Instead of admitting that there are problems with the system and vote for people who are actually trying to help, she wants the same system that made it a difficult process for her to stay the same for them. In fact she voted for someone who is going to make it harder if not impossible for them to come back the right way in the first place. Is she not thinking? If they get deported, that is going into immigration records and when that gets pulled up when they apply to come back it will likely cause any legally efforts to return to be rejected. And who knows how long that will stay in their system? Could be years, could be permanent. Biden’s idea to help those undocumented who are married to citizens to be able to apply and get a temporary visa to stay here while they wait so that families wouldn’t have to be broken up by having the applicant return to their country of origin. That was not just a great idea from a humanitarian point, but they could apply for a job that wasn’t going to take advantage of them by paying below minimum wage, with no rights if they are injured. That could help bring local wages up. They would start contributing back by paying their fair share of taxes, and do on. Republicans in red states stopped it though and are suing the Biden administration for trying to do what? Help people and fix some of the issues that our broken immigration system has caused? \nSorry lady, but you earned your family’s ire and whatever treatment you get from the administration you voted for.

The land in the region belongs to the Hebrews, that is true, but who are the Hebrews? It was promised by God to the descendants of Abraham and Sarah and philistinism is what we call Iran all the way to Anatolia, in fact it is more similar.\nHowever, just like David's victory over the leader of the Philistines Goliath, philistinism today the Palestinians received a new king and were grouped in the region and remain there to this day.\nA war is a war and can, without a doubt, bring traumatic experiences, especially when civilians feel helpless in the middle of a war...\n\nWe cannot blame the consequences of a war zone when the name itself represents a challenging situation, so the most important thing is to first remove all the civilians left behind so that the fight against terrorism can be completed.\nExtremely irresponsible and the real crime is leaving innocent people in the middle of a war zone to be killed? No, we don't do that and neither does the Arab world, we are all human. If war is necessary, a war to end terror, or surprise attacks on Abraham's descendants, or hatred of members of the Abrahamic family, that is what we will do. We do not want terrorist attacks against Philistinism, Jews, Arabs or Christians either and we do not want to support any affiliation that wants to destroy, harm or denigrate our Abrahamic people on this planet.\n\n\nInstead of trying to bring assistance in the midst of a fight against humanity and the safety of the Abrahamic communities, we should remove them all, the innocent civilians, before we look to the next step or phase of a war, so that the fight cannot harm innocent lives. left behind, so getting people out of a war zone is our duty and responsibility in a war zone and at this time civilians have no choice but to wait for a safe place outside the region of deadly combat so that the Arabs and combing with the Jews can destroy the terror against the Abrahamic people, so if the enemy is still alive, we can only accept mercy. After the elimination of hatred and violence against humanity that was the reason for the start of the war on October 7, 2023 and several calls for the evacuation of civilians before the start of the war, everything that happens or has happened or is happening in Gaza It is justified as being a consequence of a war. A war that didn't start for nothing or out of nowhere or for no reason and the Jews are still waiting to have their families back in October 2023\nmainly that Israel is a region that does not exactly represent what the House of Judah is at the moment, it is not a land for the Jews, but rather a land named after one of the sons of Isaac, but like any other country it is giving rights in the region so that they are children who are born there or immigrate to the region, but it is not necessary for them to be Abrahamic. The State of Israel is just one part of the land promised to the dynasty of Isaac, the creation of a State is a great start to remind us of the importance of remembering that God promised the descendants of Sarah and Abraham a land between two rivers. The boundaries of the Promised Land run from the River of Egypt (Nile) to the Euphrates, so it is more complex than we can understand, especially since the region was also inhabited by pagan nations hundreds of years after Abraham, as well as by Arabs and Jews It can be a complex subject to explain. Those who cannot accept the blessing that God gave to the Hebrews may be serving their faith with a spirituality that is not the faith of the Hebrews or the Abrahamic religion.\n\nThe region has been inhabited for hundreds of years, but\nCanaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites, but they are not the DNA of Abraham's descendants, they are ancient and came from the time of Noah. God promised that the land would be Abraham's land and his descendants would possess it. Knowing that it is complex to determine the timetable for the reestablishment of the real situation, first for what is the kingdom of Judah and we also want to preserve alive the state of Israel as the capital property of the Kingdom of Judah which lies between the Nile and the Euphrates.\n\nTherefore, the preservation of the Jews and the fight against discrimination and terrorism and surprise attacks on civilians are essential, especially since they host Abramham's DNA. The focus at this time is to protect the integrity of all Abrahamic people, which includes Arabs, Jews and Christians, and to not just stop but exterminate hatred against people and learn how to respect each other first.\n\nIt is essential that, after the mission of eliminating any possibility of discrimination or attacks against Arabs, Jews and Christians, we create a state country for the Palestinians who, since the loss of the battle of Goliath, have had to be under the House of David and our duty is to guarantee the integrity of their needs, their future and also the lineage of the barbarian warriors of the region and so all Palestinians across the planet will have to return and must return to the State and not for long will they be able to try a new colony in other regions of the planet, otherwise the punishment will be applied because they will have their own land and if they decide not to return or return they will never be able to return to the new Palestine which will be land donated for the formation of their own country, the individuals who choose to abandon the Palestinian homeland will have to abolish the word itself, they will not be able to be called Palestinians or identify themselves as such in any society other than their own. Otherwise, the new Palestine will have to embrace a new identity, culture and habits of a civilized world that refers to humans as human beings and cannot express hatred against others because of their genetic identity, or just because we have different opinions, That is why they must remain in their own territory, New Palestinian Land and not allow themselves to live in another land only in isolation in New Palestine. \n\n\nThe land of New Palestine will be a one-size-fits-all piece of land, not in multiple locations or in different locations. It will be a region that will have a wall of 4 meters around it. The wall will be built and the border and isolation border for the country and will give them the piece of independence they need and not let others tell them what to do and so they will be isolated from the rest of the planet because they deserve to own their barbarian identity of primitive warriors and protect their warrior genetic dignity and maintain their own values, common in the new Palestine, but they are no longer welcome in civilization outside their region, only if they decide to erase their historical connection with the concept Palestinian or identify as a Palestinian.\n\nI believe that Sir Faisal Bin Farhan Al Saud was sent to look after the needs of the family in Palestine and just fight for their integrity and safety and to preserve them together, safe and united in New Palestine, only thanks to Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah bin Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud and he must be the guardian of the descendants of the Hittites in the region, with the Arab world being the only community to associate and interact with.\n\nNew Palestine must be a land with its own unique sovereignty and whether the region is right, probably the entire West Bank and Gaza will no longer exist as an inhabitant community and will be transformed into a demilitarized zone that will be rebuilt as an industrial complex as an evacuation port for production for import and export of products that use the maritime route as well, however a percentage of all commercial transactions produced will be reallocated to a credit portfolio where all Plaestine will benefit and receive a monthly financial resource for the maritime activities that are taking place in Gaza and in the demilitarized region where there is no same region, you cannot live there, you just work. Until everything is in place, we need to protect the integrity of the human beings who were left behind in Gaza to face a tragic moment in a war against terror and seek to understand how difficult it can be for someone to leave their region and have to leave their homes to keep their lives alive, this also happened to many Jews in Europe during World War II. The most important thing to highlight is the crime of leaving innocent people in the middle of war, that is a war crime, the crime was leaving innocent people in the middle of war and leaving them there to die or to face a war zone, therefore, We must remove all civilians in that region to a safe place in the region, otherwise they will end up being victims of the war itself.\n\nThose who want to continue to face the war in Gaza will be responsible for their own lives and will not have the right to complain if they are willing to die or risk dying in the war in Gaza, the place that has been at war for over a year .\nIf a crime has to be investigated first, it is irresponsible action on the part of the local Palestinian administration to leave people vulnerable in the middle of a war zone and this is the biggest war crime. Therefore, we are looking forward to the returning of the hostages and the stop of chasing the Jews.\n\nThank you \nFaisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah bin Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud

Hold up. No one wants to live in Canada? Yet EVERYONE be moving here.

?Malarkey THANK YOU —for the broadcast. ? How about the fact that Elon Musk came into to the US as an undocumented person (illegal immigrant). No wall will do the trick! Boy Oh boy out of touch. Of course, no one wants criminals. —-how about the Bi-partisan immigration border bill that was stopped in congress due to Trump’s instruction. Over 9 billion dollars are paid into Medicare and social security. Paid by undocumented workers who never collect on it. —let it be clear THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AS IN THE TOTAL ELECTORATE DID NOT VOTE FOR TRUMP, due to the electoral process in the country, the Trump voter was part of a resulting majority in basically what appears to be a 50-50 race —-How about as I understand it 14 million unaccounted for ballots ?. JUST SAY’N ??‍♀️\n\nOne last thought to this newly elected Indiana GOP Senator, actually two thoughts, California’s Tax payers did not stand up and say we do not want our portion of the Federal Tax pool (that which Californians paid) to go to Indiana. Those funds Indiana receives from Federal funds, as well as, what Indiana voters receive in terms of Medicare and Social Security. \n\nThe other thought is, about you Mr GOP man however many generations you may need to go back in your relative line (family) what country did those immigrants come from and how did they get here——then did they work hard as most new immigrants do or were they some unimagined criminals. Incidentally statistically the majority of crime is committed by US citizens, not undocumented works or new immigrants. YEP, FEAR IS DISGUSTING AND DOWN RIGHT PATHETIC. ?

❤?????? And we are behind them. You all brought this on yourselves. Unfortunately, Trump and others have the unenviable task of cleaning up this mess. We didn't bring them here. They weren't slaves on a ship like my descendants. They broke the law, and they have to return home. Period. These are adults who made the decision to break the law, and if they have their children with them, they should take them with them. No one wants you to leave your children; that would be cruel. But take them with you and go home. \n\nDo it the right way!!!

Its going to be funny watching them try to do this lol if by any chance they manage to do it businesses will collapse and the US economy will start to collapse. These are the slave people that do the work no one else wants to do or they wouldnt be here. I got the popcorn ready for this humanitarian crisis

I can tell all the comments on this panel were made by President Trump's haters. Love all God's Creation, but, please, watch out for your neighbor. Help everybody you can, including the animals. All these people don't have to be in this Country. They have their own, why can't they make their country a much better place for them and their families to live. Look at the way they are acting. They came as guest, now they are acting like they are the owners. Are you so blinded by hate for this man who loves his Country so much, that you can't see the danger we are in with this illegals in our Country? What are you going to do when you won't have a place to live with your families or can't pay for your needs, because there are no housing or jobs, because everything that belong to you were given to them? What about the crimes they are doing in our communities. They are not here to HELP US, they are here to take what it's ours and replace us. There's not any worse than a blind, who don't want to see. These people are destroying our Beautiful Country and all we can do is hate this President, who the only thing he wants to do is save it for us. He doesn't need anything, we do need and we have to take care of what we have or we will lose it. Oh, by the way, we can't go to their Countries and live there, because they hate Americans. And we are a bunch of ingrates and don't appreciate the Blessings that God Almighty gifted us and President Trump is one of those Blessings, in Jesus Name, AMEN.

Why no one is mentioning the root cause of all this....the situation has worsened in India since the modi government came to power that only care to spread hate all over the country just to stay in power. They dont care about the real life issues, everyone just wants to leave the country...be it rich or poor

How can gov officials be so retarded?? immigration doesnt affect housing. Government interference affects housing. Removing the LTB and changing tenancy laws to a free marketplace will open the floodgate, and everyone will want to become a landlord. Now, no one wants to, and this is what drives rental prices up. You have reduced supply due to harsh rules. If a tenant does not pay rent, they should be arrested for theft. Now, with the current laws, a 1 year lease means a lifetime lease. Who wants to rent for life? Who the hell is the government determining rental increase rates at 2% when inflation was at 7-10%? \nI can get a 1 year lease, and that agreement should be honored, but after that, it should be a free market. \n\nIf a landlord were to charge double, would anyone live there? It would have to be competitive and more people with homes would want to do it. Now most people dont want to due to the rules and this creates the shortage.

Maybe there are too many Indians everywhere and it's natural that people living there are getting sick of them. Maybe her frustration is justified. It happens everywhere regardless of race. No one wants to see a huge group of people that don't look like them or not from their tribe living on their land. It doesn't matter that she herself does not belong to Canada as a white person nut let's be real. White people have been living on native land for centuries now. The indigenous people are probably tired of everyone and every race who isn't native. Maybe it's time indians stop moving to other countries and start making their own country better. And this is coming from an Indian.

No one wants shariah law here. No one wants Canada to turn into hamas. No one wants to be bombed by the IDF.

the name should be ' why no one wants to live in this society no more' !\n its the same issues everywhere.all countries will ruin themselves because their greed of money and they cant handle immigration issues, lack of education , its all a circle of doom. etc. everyone is blind they dont see that the system has to change for good. people have to act now and not in 10 or 50 years because of bureaucratic formalities and money issues. in third world countries people know how to live. they care more about another and live way more with nature. our ignorance for money greedy society idiocracy destroys ourselves

The landlord board is a failure of the Ford goverment \nVote him out he got rid of most of the adjudication and turned it upside down .the backlog is crazy \nIt's worse for those on welfare because no one wants to take the risk at least with working tenants you can varnish the rent \nTenants not paying the rent is theft \nPolice should be able to charge tenants with fraud

Look at the level of English, they don't even know what the sign means and TRUCK DRIVING is a skill set( I don't know that). Plus why they consider they can stay as long as they want and now when they getting their asses kicked out of Canada they are crying like a baby, Some one do hate the comment but the thing is what the thing is. By The Way I am from Punjab, INDIA.\nand people(basically teenagers) here are just crazy about going to abroad for studies, PR and what not, NO one wants to work here as the pay is less still you can be botted out of any country which's not your motherland as and when you create problems for them as you are guest not the homeowner.

Your heading …”No one wants to live in Canada” would infer that I and my family who live in Canada and have for decades, don’t want to live in Canada which would be wrong, incorrect, etc. We have our problems, but not as many or as severe as many other countries, so cut out the hyperbole and get real!

Not to be reductivist, but if no one wants to live here, explain why our population is higher than ever. Not saying we don't have major problems, just there seems to be a discrepancy between that claim and the actual numbers.

I don't get this narrative of people coming Canada make a better life for themselves. It may be true for couple years back pre-Justin Turd but most Canadians are struggling with high cost of living, not able to have a roof over their head, failed health care, exorbitant tax, zero freedom of speech, terrorist and protestors everywhere. I don't see any sane person willing to come to Canada. The only people who are coming to Canada are to illegally cross in to US. No one wants to live in Justin Turd Canadistan shitland.

Citizenship is a privilege, not a right. No one wants or needs entitled narcissists in their country.\n\nThese people are calling Canadians racist land stealers and then expect them to fight for their non existent right to stay in the country. \n\nBye bye?\nCanada won’t miss you!\n\nMaybe be thankful you were even allowed in the country for your studies. No, they aren’t thankful.

You all smell like shit you’re creepy and literally no one on earth wants to live around you. You have 1.4 billion population and can’t win a gold medal or build a functional society. You will all be going back very soon

It appears that the huge increase of immigrants to Canada came at the expense of poor screening process by Immigration Canada. It is true that you can't demand higher education for people you expect to perform menial jobs, but no one wants these jobs especially in a country with such high living costs, and such poor outlook of social advancement. Every society on earth have a lower social segment of uneducated and poor individuals. Unfortunately a portion of these lower class Indians landed in Canada, and aren't contributing to their new country, or to India itself. As usual, they generally are single young males; a similar situation can be appreciated in Europe with Muslim and African individuals. I can't say how many times I've received calls or e-mails from scammers from India, Pakistan, Russia, Nigeria, and China. We, in the West as common citizens, are the targets of criminals around the world trying to exploit us. If landed immigrants aren't of any positive influence to Canada, they should be denied citizenship and expelled from the country.

There are skilled immigrants here willing and able to work, already! They are the thousands of mothers who have absolutely no support with childcare. I know pharmacists, teachers, business graduates, and other professional women who are stuck at home. Schools have unreliable times, somedays school starts at 8:00 other days at 8:45, the children are let out at even worse times; somedays 11:30, other days 12:30, and sometimes 13:15. The kindergartens will call with every kind of excuse to have your child picked up early, and, of course, shortage of staff. And there is the asnwer to the problem! Educators are not paid enough and no one wants to become one I don't see how this will get any better in the future. It may be a good place if you are skilled and don't have a family, if you do, Germany is not a place for you.

Pick a lane, folks. Either Canada's population is increasing faster than infrastructure can keep up, with the result that the cost of housing is excessively inflated, or no one wants to live in Canada. Both can't be true at the same time.

Because no one in the West wants to be invaded and colonised. Name me one white European Christian in political office in the middle east.

I was going to say the immigrant only thing is one thing on TOP of the INSANE pricing... you gotta be a girl working and can't have ANY vice or plan on having ANY kind of life or freedom even though you pay to live there, even working a full time job you will be struggling and majority of these lower rent places were great and usually always been for students no matter what your sex or where you are from to which if you are getting government money to attend school you can only work a certain amount of hours with that funding for school being BARELY enough to get by and forget about it if you have disability you get slightly more but NO landlord wants you if you have disability.... Landlords need to be stopped and controlled.

This is why no one wants to be a landlord.

No one wants their poverty, poverty is not a qualification for anything, except abuse and suffering. Around the world, migrants pay to cross borders, illegally; what the migrants don’t understand is that they could be paying for their own murder, get abandoned in the middle of the sea, the deserts, or they get kidnapped for ransom or slavery, their kids taken and sold to sex traffickers. And sometimes, after the migrant client is killed, their families keep on owing their murderer.

First of all these are not refugees as most of their countries are considered safe and they have also crossed many safe countries on their way to Europe. The only true refugees to Europe were the Ukrainians as European countries were the first safe countries they could reach. These are economic migrants who chose their destination by the benefits they will be given. These are also people no one in the world wants. Just because you want a better life doesn’t mean anyone has to help you get it.

stop buying property just to rent it out maybe get a real job instead of taking over properties that you dont intend to live in making the housing crisis even worse. same goes for the people who loaned out to make a bunch of apartments airbnb. you aren't providing anything, your taking something thats available off the market and then repackaging it like its helpful. its really a big part of why housing is so expensive no one wants to work they just want to be landlords.

This is criminal...two sides of the story here i can assume...but both sides are at fault...the tenant is a criminal and the landlord should have done more...put pressure on the landlord and tenants court...the landlord and tenants organization is a joke...no one takes them serious because they have a huge back load of court cases is not an excuse...the government wants more housing with out properly funding the courts and they are costing owners money 3 fold. It's a systematic virus...these figures these landlords quoted do not even include the damage the location has after the entitled criminal tenant leaves behind. Also this is not a mental heath issue, its just a plain purposely planned out criminal act. If they are criminally charged and convicted i am sure they will be comfortable in a 10 X 8 cell for 2 years with free rent, utilities and 3 square meals a day. Ford never takes in account possible issues that can arise he jumps into a project and never considers the side effects...maybe in heart he is a PC but he acts like a Liberal. They need the back log dealt with and a special team to police this industry.

This is disgusting to listen to. No country on Earth wants millions of immigrants flooding in getting welfare to the moon and being a statistic of crime cause by these immigrants. No one wants that. What makes anyone think they do? They are all going to get to vote. Just watch. They just crossed our border, got welfare better than citizens, and will get to vote. Whoever is doing this to Europe and the USA should be in jail or dealt with per the constitution for treason. Unfortunately the swamp is too much. We have too much corruption in our governments. Time to start realizing this and we are going to have to make a change because protesting and trying to vote isn't cutting it when they rigg things against you and demonize you for not being okay with this garbage they are shoving down your throat.\nAt no point has anyone in my family filled out a green card or visa. I have no idea what it is like to be an immigrant. I can't get that perspective because I have never been one and neither has anyone in my family. But coming from my perspective this is some BS. Coming from someone who didn't have to get a work visa or apply for citizenship ever, this all seems like some BS. There wasn't this kind of migration going on when I was growing up. Where did it come from? Why is it happening now of all times? What are these people being told? Wtf is going on because a born, bred, and raised citizen is highly confused, offended, angry, and fed up.

Thank God I left New York in 2003 21 years ago. And I’m blessed to live in Florida with one of the best governors who wants to keep our boys boys and our beautiful girls women. No LGBTQ crap down here. My points this is all done by the democratic s . Do not be brainwashed. Don’t be fooled anymore. Straighten your spine and choose to see the Republicans take care of the country and have the light of God behind them. It’s obvious God bless New York wake up vote trump 2024.

Enough is enough, something must be done! What is Kamala Harris going to do if she becomes President? Why isn’t N.Y. Governor Hochul trying to solve this problem before New York State has no money left! NYC is on its way to loosing its economy and becoming a city no one wants to visit.

As a Canadian - the immigration tom-foolery that is happening is just as bad up here. Our Prime Minister is a handsome idiot, he was a drama teacher before he became Prime Minister (I know, make that one make sense). He has no idea what he's doing, he's being used as a puppet for more experienced extortionists-erm-politicians. With the help of his party members and a coalition with another party, in less than ten years he has taken Canada from a great place to visit and live to basically what's happening in NY. Crime in our cities has gone up dramatically. Theft is on the rise. Homelessness and drug use is through the roof. Immigration is out of control. And our government also prioritizes immigrants and asylum seekers before born and raised Canadian citizens. As a Canadian who is tired of the nonsense that's been happening in the world this past decade, I wish our government would put on their big boy pants and do something about this uncontrolled immigration. Things are bad here too. Our government seems to keep changing policies and laws to further accomodate the insanity that is happening, I promise, not every Canadian wants these changes to happen. We are just as sick and tired of all this nonsense as our American cousins. I wouldn't be surprised if both countries at some point united in objective and worked together to fix this problem - but that's not gonna happen anytime soon as long as these dummies are in power. But believe me, the regular people of Canada see what you're going through because it's also happening in our own back yard. From this Canadian, I wish you all strength and courage in the coming days, we're all going to need it. God bless, and stay safe everyone <3

No one really wants them it seem strange why not Iran they seem to be feeding the war

PEOPLE THINK IT'S EASY IN AMERICA IT USED TO BE. NOT ANYMORE!! I'M DISABLED ON SSI, MY CHECK IS ON $941, AND CALIFORNIA WANTS $2895 FOR A ONE BEDROOM SO, WTF MAKE Y'ALL THINK IT'S OKAY TO BE HERE. WE ARE BARELY MAKING OURSELVES WITH NO HELP. I SLEEP IN MY DAUGHTER'S LIVING ROOM. I CAN'T WAIT ??? MOVE. FAMILY AND FRIENDS DON'T WANT TO HELP AND OUR CHILDREN DON'T GIVE A DIYAMN ABOUT THEIR ELDER PARENTS. PEOPLE ALWAYS TELLING BLACK PEOPLE TO GO BACK THEIR COUNTRY, BUT AMERICA IS LETTING THESE RAMDON AZZ PEOPLE UP IN HERE. STAY YALLS AZZES IN YOU COUNTRY

Ironically due to the economic conditions and mass immigration, younger Canadians aren’t having children anymore due to it being hard enough to get by without any dependents. I’m in my mid 20s, lots of married friends, none will entertain the idea of kids.\n\nWhat I would prioritize changing:\nA more thorough immigration process that does not favour any country over another. And spread the people out to the smaller communities that need workers instead of turning Toronto into whatever it is. An end to the corporate alliance price fixing on things like insurance, cell phones, and air travel. Reduced taxes for your first property, but additional if you own several (a system similar to what Norway does). Reduced foreign ownership in our home real estate market (home should be for families, and not financial assets for international businesses).\n\nAnd like the video said some more darn infrastructure. In my childhood, I saw entire neighbourhoods being built in - timely fashions. Now it’s rare to see a single home under construction in my home city. Some smaller Canadian towns I know even lack potable water.\n\nWith the market so bad no one wants to build or buy which is just amplifying the issue.\n\nAnd no carbon tax. I apologize for getting political, but the last 10 years the federal government seems to be more concerned with values and foreign intervention than fiscally responsible decisions. The culture can dictate the values, I just want the government to make the trains run on time.\n\nI hope it gets better soon but I think we are cooked. Least for the foreseeable future.\n\nIt’s ludicrous to be taxed as much as we are here as well. If ur gonna take 40% of my paycheck least make sure its being put to good use. Had to do a double take last time I was in BC and the bill included a “carbonated beverage tax”

I am a Canadian and I have seen the sharp decline of Canada over the past decade which makes me very sad. According to many 'experts' they paint a dire picture of the nations future as the rate of inflation spirals out of control and we are buried beneath a mountain of debt. On the ground level, homelessness is an epidemic that the powers that should not be seem to want to sweep under the rug, while they race bait and spout off about woke ideology. They are more worried about transgender rights and castrating children while with anyone with eyes to see are witnessing the very breakdown of their society around them, people are dying in the streets from fentanyl overdose. My wife volunteered at our old church which catored to the homeless and I have known many that are no longer with us, nobody wants to acknowledge it because they do not want to face the fact that they are fellow human beings. In the end no one is better than any one else, it is all vanity.?\nIt would seem like we are run by lunatics with severe cognitive dissonance by the fact that we have mass immigration while are own \npopulation is suffering, I admit that mental health and addictions are potent variables that constitute the crisis, I am not niave to those facts. I myself have had long term Sobriety. But it is odd that only a decade ago, homelessness /addiction were problems confined to major cities like Vancouver and Toronto, and now we have tent cities in almost every town with a population of more than 20 thousand people. It would seem like utter stupidity to keep pouring water into a bucket that is overflowing. I suspect that their is an agenda and the destruction of our nation is a part of it, it is a well known fact that the Trudeau government is in bed with Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum. I don't care if you call me a racist, that is a luxury for those who live in gated communities, who create the problem and want to muddy the waters. These elites like to accuse others of what they are guilty of, they are anti human bigots, eugenicists who are ideologically captured, any one who bandies the around words like racist and homophobia, Islamophobia etc. are either those operating with an agenda or a useful idiot.

Frankly, two things can be true, and they are. The Palestinians, however you want to define them can be a problem, they are majority fundamentalists, and at the same time, they can deserve to not be massacred. How you deal with them as a problem is another story, one nobody wants to address. Can there be a treaty, wherein, Palestinians agree to permanent peace, and Israel can have some portion of the land, independly to themselves (where they do indeed continue to accept Palestinian immigrants). What portion and how to about this will take real geopolitical maneuvering, but no one will tackle the real issue.

Canada needs a quota system immediately. No Canadian wants to be inundated by one ethnic group, i.e. Indians.\nWhere ever you go in downtown Toronto, the majority of folks who serve you are Indians. No relief. Where are the young native born Canadians and the elderly who used to serve us before?

4:54 That's just it. Canada allows a lot of immigration, because there are a lot of entry-level and service jobs that Canadians don't want, or are in a position that they don't have to take them. As I understand it, it all goes back to the province of Quebec. to get Quebec to join Canada, education was made a provincial thing, not a national thing. This means that there is no national education policy in Canada, unlike a lot of comparable nations. This means it is very difficult to plan, and educate the work force to fulfill anticipated needs. The solution? Put it on the list! Immigration Canada has a list of jobs that Canada needs to fill. If you would like to immigrate to Canada, and you have work history or education for something on the list, you're in! This is much easier that investing in Canadians and planning 5-10 years ahead. If we need more nurses...put it on the list! If we need more engineers...put it on the list! If we have too many already...take it off the list. A lot of immigrants are disappointed when they get here, because from the outside, Canada seems great. Yes, it is a very safe country, and has a lot going for it. But people may be surprised to find that they have been allowed into the country, to fill jobs no one else wants. And it's a lot of work to move here from another country, so immigrants tend to get stuck in a bad situation.

We came to Canada 17 years ago, with nothing, we were lucky, a few years later the kids were moving out, we both are self employed (skilled people from Germany) we worked like oxen, still do, we paid off our own house and soon 2 more rentals, we are close to retirement. Canada was extremely difficult at the beginning, they don't accept knowledge from other places, even if it comes from places like Germany. You got to do it the retarded Canadian way, If you're just some poor lad who works in a Hamburger factory you will stay poor for sure. There is no affordable housing, a blue collar job will keep you poor. You gotta be self employed, THATs the only way here. Winter sucks, we will soon spend our winters abroad. Canadian government is run by communist criminals, there are skilled people moving out of here, lots of them. There are druggies roaming the streets where we live, (and everywhere else) if one ever wants to break into my house I am legally not allowed to protect my family, it's a joke. A bitter one.

Well duh. Is this even a question? My kid is still in school but knows he has no future in Canada anymore. I know I can't stay once I retire either. My other kid just hates it here and wants to leave. That's 3/4 of just one family who won't be staying. We didn't feel like this 10 years ago. Trudeau has destroyed the futures of most Canadians.

Many of these students were sold a bill of goods by various people who promised more than they should have. As our PM has stated students coming over has not been the issue, but having temporary workers come over has been. What had been traditionally 2% has been 7% plus. This is what needs to be reduced, but in most of these cases no one wants to do the jobs they have, such as fruit picking. I find some of the comments here as being offensive, don't need more Tim Horton workers. A number of these individuals are here for PR first and schooling second, this needs to tighten up. Your rant is counterproductive, and just puts out more hate, when we need to stop the hate.

Wonderful response! What is it that people do not understand? No one wants to be forced from their homes and land. Colonialism, money, and power dominates our world.

Some of the stats cited here are straight up wrong or... creatively employed, and there's a lot of contradictory information and the typical conservative 'the sky is falling' sensationalism and misattribution. That said, the bas supposition isn't wrong. The bubble we've been sitting on for 20 or so years has completely burst. As someone born and raised in the Toronto area, it's impossible for me to afford to own a house or apartment here on a teacher's salary. Even rent pushes me to the limit unless I want to live in a... less than nice area. I'm living hand to mouth and enjoying the benefits of living in a 'developed' country less. Here's why:\n\n1. Wages aren't really even close to keeping up with the cost of living. The first tick upwards a bit. The second just keeps rising on the back of housing, food, amenities, and inflation: the four horsemen.\n\n2. Our grocery cabal ruthlessly raise prices whenever we look away, and their lobbyists are all ensconced within the leadership of our three major parties, particularly the Conservatives (so if anyone thinks that electing them will help, they're in for a nasty surprise).\n\n3. We're experiencing 'labour shrinkflation': increasing duties are downloaded onto workers and more is expected: more productivity, more availability (almost 24/7 in some jobs), and higher qualifications. Meanwhile, real wages are decreasing relative to living cost, more positions are 'contract', which is basically a way for employers to not have to give you benefits, and job security is tenuous for a lot of people.\n\n4. Houses are being bought by investors and not owners. Foreign entities are money laundering. The wealthy upper crust of high population countries are moving here and buying property because Canada is (still) more safe and stable and less repressive than their home countries in most cases. \n\n5. There's a cycle beginning: as people are squeezed and forced to spend more on 'needs', they spend less on eating out, entertainment, and other 'wants'. These are significant drivers of the service economy and they're being hit hard. So, what can they do? They can let go of workers or lower product costs to remain profitable, but they their quality declines and, in a market where people are pinching every penny and looking for quality for their dollar, they're less likely to go back. They can raise their prices, of course, but then they price people out completely and their profits still tank. I went to a decent steakhouse for my dad's 60th last week. I can't remember the last time that I went to one before that. \n\n6. Our politicians and news cycles focus on the most niche and irrelevant stuff because it'll stoke anger and get tongues wagging. This carbon thing is almost a non-issue, but our conservative leader is harping on about it like it's singlehandedly the death of the Canadian economy when it's a drop in the bucket. Trudeau focuses on 'equity' measures, hoping for a bit of cheap good press, while his efforts are, for the most part, just window dressing and the issues, while meaningful, are often not of paramount importance or even applicable to the vast majority of the people who elected him. Meanwhile, the middle class is pretty much evaporating as he speaks. The NDP keep talking about this in a pretty real way, for what it's worth, but Jagmeet Singh is giving off an increasing vibe of just being another fat cat politician beneath his rhetoric these days. Also, third-party trolls and screeching conservatives try to bury him on social media whenever he speaks... a lot more than other leaders as well, oddly. I wonder why? Oh yeah, the Greens exist and there's Quebec and the conspiracy theory party.\n\n\nUltimately, what we're experiencing is the revenge of the feudal system. Instead of paying rents to your lord and doing labour on the land for him whenever commanded to, you pay rent to your landlord now and go to work even when you're sick or when work hours are over because you have no union protection or are working 'on contract'. Unless we want to live in the armpit of nowhere, 95% of us are going to be wage slaves living hand-to-mouth, not owning our own property, and working to please our corporate overlords if current trends continue unchecked. While some of Canada's problems are unique, I fear that most aren't. As for me, I'm headed to the 'armpit of nowhere' where I can at least have a ghost of a chance of affording life.

I'd be careful about mentioning an increase in immigration as a source of a problem here without providing any evidence of how that's specifically harmful. \n\nYes, we have an influx in international students - often underinformed young people scouted by private companies in places like India who are gravely mislead on what to expect once arriving in Canada. International students specifically are facing tons of injustice and being used as cash cows by companies and our government, since international tuition is much higher than domestic tuition. \n\nBut right now, skilled immigrants are helping build our cities back up. It takes a lot of people to plan, design and build infrastructure, to repopulate failing systems (cough cough, healthcare), etc. We're in a recession and individual industries are struggling a lot right now - but not because of immigrant workers. In fact, they are picking up slack, taking jobs no one else wants to do, and keeping the gears of our society turning.

No one wants to live in Canada? ?? here I am wishing to live there if someone wants to trade his life with mine in Latin America I’ll be happy ??

I understand this is an economics channel, but saying that NO ONE wants to live in Canada because of 3 issues with the economy that most developed countries in the world are dealing w/ is kinda stupid (It's almost like most of the world is in a recession.?) A lot of this data is straight-up wrong or twisted in a way as to be really misleading. The whole video is just full of inconsistencies and is overall extremely critical of Canada to the point of making it sound like a terrible place to live. You could probably find 3 random issues with every single country in the world to make a video about, there's nothing about Canada that makes it as bad as he seems to be trying to make it out to be.
