On my opinion, its a balancing act of everything.

I think it depends on what you really want from a country. If you exclude costs of living, Canada today looks like a nice place for retirement where people just want to live life quietly and do simple happy things in life. This makes it not as focus on development in my opinion. The cost of everything is going up because if I was a rich person, I would go to Canada too to live life. Not as stressful and the nature there is just amazing. BC weather is really nice.

I live in Ontario and I used to live in Alberta and Québec and Ontario is way better then Alberta in my opinion but québec and Ontario are tied in my opinion

Just reminder that The Province of Québec was a Theocracy since 1793 to 1959. \n\nQuébécois are hostiles to any type of religions goes above each other. \n\n\nThe law in place include for all those religions:\n\nJudaism \nBuddhism\nHindisum \nJainism \nSikhism \nChristianity \nConfusism \nShintoism \n....\n\n\nNo religious sign in public area.\n\nReligion = private. \n\nExactly like Tunisia, in fact... Well when I was there in 1996 and 1998 (10 years old).\n\n\nSystemic racism is a bullcrap in my opinion since nobody know what really mean, billion of definitions doesn't help for larger public comprehension. \n\nWhy not call it Subconcious Racism or Social Subconcious Racism.

To be fair, everyone has the rights to his or her opinion but when you look at the pros and cons, Canada just edges UK.

All this smoke and mirrors with differing opinions on the situation here in the comments.. But the REALITY is SIMPLE…this is against our laws or really any states law and it is just that!…INVASION-USING HARMFUL FORCE AGAINST AMERICANS!

we can’t even find a home to buy that actually fits our family and our needs for less than 300k right now. and we make damn good money. and it’s still feelin hopeless and impossible. what the fuck. also idk how bad it is where they’re coming from but here is NOT the shining star it once was. this is one of the worst times in my lifetime to want to move to america and live the american dream. in my opinion. it’s aaaallll out of sorts right now. i wouldn’t even know where to start and it would take me days to list off the reasons.

In my OPINION\n\nSadder REALity the US caused the DEstabilization of South America.\nPeople just want to live without the powerful murderous drug cartels trying to kill them if they don't work for them or give them their land\nIt's F'n' BAD in a lot of places over there.\nIf Our own State Department is saying,,\nStay the FUG out of there because they have mosquitoes that buzz by 300 to 400mph and can kill you\nIt's F'n' BAD there\nNO tourist to see here folks

I once had the opinion that every country should mind their own business. But with hordes of refugees wether due to war, dictatorships or poverty it's everyone's business. And humanity demands not being ignorant and let people die. So we have to figure out and fix issues even in foreign countries

Thanks, My son was born in Houston but currently we are living in Canada. Me and my wife are Canadian only. I am wondering if we need to move back to Houston for my son’s university in US in the future. What do you think? Which option is better for my son’s future opportunities by going to Canadian university or American university? Thanks for your opinion.

https://youtu.be/aBUiOFXZuKY?t=2460\n\nWhat’s more sad then these poor people running from the depravation the stagnation and danger of their countries is the innocent children like in the documentary listed above. Born into this world to be sold for spare body parts and used as sex slaves beginning at the age of 3 sometimes raped so brutally and purchased for this intent by a customer with The intention of raping the baby to literal death. I would give my own life to end those babies suffering and so would millions of others. It’s so sad that NOBODY is helping these children. The military is used to carry out crooked agendas for pervs who participate in such depravity. They spell out loud an clear and rummaged up irrefutable proof that Germany an the Netherlands specifically are allowing this volatile shit! Why can’t ppl with platforms put this info out there instead of stupid drama that draws more hate an division further isolating the innocent that are deserving an worthy of sharing our country. These women (most) and their sons & daughters are the victims not us. Everyone is quick to spout off entitled opinions about what we as Americans deserve, but Until everyone stands up to fight an demand a better life an equality for every human being and animal we will continue to see our reality turn into hell on earth.

All of yall saying your american because it took your family years to migrate cmon these people are less fortunate than you they didint choose to be born in poverty ,whats the difference between you and them they deserve the same opportunity you got ,you are no better then them , the us has resources and opportunity to let these people work amd prosper but instead the us spends thousand of dollars to keep prisoners nice and healthy in jails to provide for the scum of the earth , in my opinion we should deport all the american trash we have behind bars and committing crime and give these men and women who come from poverty a chance to make a living and raise their family in this country

My opinion...there running the wrong way this country isn't all it's cracked up to be

It would help if the people in Mexico would stop being such p**sies and would stand up to these a$$ holes in their country like when Americans stood up to the BRITs in my opinion yall enjoy the shit otherwise y’all be living the American dream pick up arms and fight, the cartel fight, your government stop coming into our country and ruining our country by taking home and jobs from people who earned that you didn’t earn shit you steal it

It’s probably because they see and hear about how Biden is giving smart phones hotels cash to the board crossers ALL FROM TAX PAYERS! Money. Also if cops can control Mardi Gras crowds then they can control this crowd. Or they’re just letting this happen. All in my opinion.??

As a Hispanic that lives in the mentioned area these damn people need to go and do this kind of bullshit revolutions over in their country, in my opinion that was an invasion and invasions are repelled with force. Mexico is fed up with them as well ask any one in Mexico and they’ll tell you how they tear shit up anywhere they go

Having lived in the US for years before moving to Canada ,I must say that Canada remains & its still better than the US . Of course everyone sure needs peace of mind , adequate security & safety for the whole family . Not guns flying here & there like a movie scene . \nThe only exception I have with living in Canada is the crazy tax rate on goods & services . I think the Canadian govt . should work on this . \nOther than that Canada still remains home & far better than the US .\nMy opinion

i want your opinion again after 1 year. thanks

My work which is at a hotel just got a bunch of Puerto rican immigrants who are working and living at the hotel for free and they get paid and they treat all the other workers with disrespect and leave everything a mess and break rules constantly and can’t even talk to the managers and we’re all trying to be as understanding as we can be because I honestly can’t imagine going through immigration like that but still there’s no rules for them and meanwhile us other workers who are American and don’t get paid as much and don’t have the amenities that they do it’s just kind of a ridiculous situation in my opinion. There’s no structure or organization with it and it doesn’t make sense that we’re illegally transporting immigrants all over the us and giving them the free pass for most all things without even going through the legalization process. Like I can completely understand immigration and see nothing wrong with it when it’s done legally, but I don’t understand why we’re disregarding the people already in the long process of legally immigrating. I might just be very ignorant in the issue but that’s my personal take on the issue. It doesn’t make sense to me. I will say I have absolutely nothing against any person who’s an immigrant but just the rules and regulations surrounding the situation. I don’t mean to step on anyone’s toes or offend anyone.

Theres already way to many gang members in the states to allow more and more to invade and destroy our country's society.......¿ What is it they call themselves ? Chicanos ,, essays,,Vatos ? Keep Them Out.. just my opinion.

I think you are judging Canada using relatively small scope of criteria. Is some of what you say true? Probably. But there is so much more to Canada. Personally, I think there is so much beauty here, but I sure the hell don't expect to find it in Vancouver, or any other major city. It comes down to how you look at something. If you think it's ugly, then you're going to find a lot to support that opinion. The opposite is also true. There are 2 sides to that coin and they can't be wrong, because they are subjective.

But you didn't get their opinion on the concentration camps that aren't really concentration camps but if you leave them without permission they will send men with guns to hunt you down

Good, very good indeed. Years to late in my opinion.

The first ones to protest any control to immigration are Immigration Lawyers. Their opinion is biased and should not be taken seriously

I respect people opinion about Vancouver, but I love Vancouver l live in this beautiful city for 33 years ,I was lucky to buy 2 property 1 penthouse and one apartment in downtown today value 2million 200.000 no mortgages ,and live a wonderful time ,I won’t moved to any place in the world the people who hate Vancouver is because they felt to make it and they are ungrateful , IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE ON EARTH

As a hardworking Canadian, it is very sad and frustrated to see how people just cross the border so easily from the US when my immigrant parents who held bachelors and PHD needed to sacrifice so much to raise me. They had to do labor work in factories. Those people who seek asylum will enjoy so much such as free housing, food and education support. All the services are coming out from the taxpayers like me. I have been taxed so high that I almost cannot afford a place in large cities like Toronto and Vancouver. In my opinion, Canada should restrict the number of people seeking asylum every five years. It should offer less benefits to those people as well.

Rubbish. Based more on opinion and ignorant at that.

Here in Brazil, they stole the election, and the system elected a person convicted of corruption as president, and anyone who questions the elections is arrested, so we have journalists/comedians/politicians arrested. Crime is opinion.

I think you got the last part of your video wrong. Australians gravititate to the coast, however in Canada people gravititate to the US Boarder where 90% of the population live within 240km to the boarder. Most of Canada is uninhabited. The East coast of Aus is where most of Australians live, so you will encounter more cities there. In addition we have greater diversity in our landscape than Canada. We have the tropical north, deserts in the middle, as well as snow peaked mountains in the south. I think your opinion would have been different if you have lived on the East coast (I happily live in Perth).

They should target the problem from the source the us and Canada can’t take in every person from South America. We should intervene there instead of the Middle East . But that’s just an opinion

Immigrated to Canada many years ago as skill worker in the engineering field, and there were no opportunities in that country, Canada just needed laborers to fill out factories and people to do the jobs that the Canadian born did not want to do. I ended up working in my field in the USA, and salaries and opportunities are much better in this country. Americans are very practical, they just want someone with the right knowledge. When applying for jobs in Canada, employers were very obsessed with Canadian education and experience, but in my opinion, that was an intentional way to block immigrants. In the USA I was never asked for American education or experience, the interviews were very straightforward, very technical, they just wanted to verify technical knowledge. In conclusion, if looking for professional opportunities, the USA is much better than Canada, but legal immigration as a professional to the USA is extremely difficult.

In my opinion , this is very unfair for us Filipinos who tried and want to migrate in Canada, wherein we have to apply legally, spend a lot of dollars and gather our documents just to be accepted in the country or a visa, especially for International students.

This whole situation is untenable. It is devastating to the migrants that have to leave their homes and try to enter either the United States or Canada to apply for asylum. No amount of border protections or treaties or walls will solve the problem. And that problem is the political, economic, and social conditions in their countries of origin. In my opinion, Canada and the United States (more so the United States) need to step up to see if there’s any way to help politically and economically stabilize those so people would not need to leave their homes in search of a better life. Yes, it would cost money… But there would be definite dividends in the future as we would no longer have to invest as much money on our borders. I very much realize not only the complexity of the problems in Latin American countries, but also the complexity of what I am suggesting. But everything we have done so far has been useless, so we need to change our thinking.

There are no Muslim areas. This is our country not yours. Concentrate on your own people’s acts. Keep your opinions to yourself. You are not British. If you don’t like it here then go back home.

How dare they. This is our country. They are invaders. I agree to some extent, too many drunks, but this is our problem, none of their business. Actually they need to address the atrocities within their own so called culture . You all know what I mean. We, in the West have always welcomed people from other countries, so long as they respect Britain and its people. Refrain from trying to change our way of life.\nYou are guests, if you don’t approve or like anything we do then you are politely free to return to your own countries. We are British, you are in Britain. Your opinion is not needed. Don’t like ????? Then just go.

Hello Aashir.\nI live in Durham region, Canada and recently came to know you after I watch your movie Maalik and instantly became your biggest fan. I have also watch some of your other videos on YouTube and they are all full of wisdom and prudent advice. You are true gentleman and it’s very unfortunate for Pakistan to loose a gem like you. I think this statement itself tells us a lot about why Pakistan is at its state where it is right now.\nYou have wisely pointed out the devastating affects of debt in this post. My opinion about debt is that we get into debt when we cannot differentiate between our Wants and Needs. We need to be content with what you have. As you have said, best solution to avoid debt is to live our lives as simple as possible.\nI am proud of you as Pakistani Canadian and It’s a pleasure to have you in Canada.

As a white Canadian I have been endlessly descriminated against by coloured races for my colour and for my age and because of my culture.the new hobbyin Canada is to put the blame on whites ! Am I supposed to die just to make room for you and your opinion ! ! It is us aged who worked hard to built this country and paid for the medical system you want access to !

True. Medicare is free but the system sucks. And yes, you have to convince the family doctor that you need a referral to a specialist. And, forget about getting second opinions.....

I am a dual citizen. I was born and raised in Canada but eventually moved to the US. I am glad because my pension is now in US Dollars. Both countries have their pluses and minuses. Unfortunately, both countries have horrible leaders. Wokeism and Progressivism are destroying our nations. The rest of the world is laughing at us. Our own worst enemy is our own ways. We are violating people's freedom of speech because we can't handle hearing a differant opinion. Both countries have so much potential. Our governments are wasting huge amounts of tax money, causing unessessary inflation. They are getting us further in debt, which will affect future generations.

PEI is vastly over rated in my opinion. Born in On-Scaryo but now in NoFunswick and there are way more things to do and see here.

I just moved to Tomar, Portugal in December and I don't regret it. I worked out of Ottawa before, and it was starting to get really depressing. After COVID hit and I stayed working out of my basement, the isolation got to be a bit too much. It was getting to the point you couldn't even share an opinion with someone for fear of ostracizing yourself. I've already made new friends from a bunch of different countries, and the locals have been warm and welcoming. Very happy to start a new life here.

As a Canadian who has lived in 5 different provinces , I would rank British Columbia, Nova Scotia and Quebec as the 3 best . All provinces have their \npros and cons , but your opinions are very slanted. You are very negative on some provinces and not positive enough to show the very good aspects of others. You can find good and parts of all provinces . You mention the snow and cold of some places , all the Prarie provinces are very cold in winter especially Alberta and Ontario has a very heavy snowfall. Also Ontario has a high crime rate now and a huge population. Driving through Winnipeg in summer, I thought was a very pretty city. You also skipped over the beauty of our west coast. I find your list of provinces is very much lacking and cou\nld be done much better.

It is all a matter of opinion and I certainly don't agree with your rankings.

I am also of da strong opinion that you are expressing even tjough I hvnt seen ir lived in australia but I do hv a person whos a BE hons from NUS singapore gone to sydney as a school teacher living in a single bedroom hse. I understood da suffering in Australia. I dont like to go there

very informative video. Wonderful. I have a few questions. How to get the J form? Can you show me a copy of that? Also, when applying for parents visitor visa do i need to book actual tickets or show dummy tickets or just show the itinerary? People have different opinion on that.

I’ve lived in Korea, Germany, and the Middle East. I love the USA, Ive been to and lived in all parts of the US and I love the states don’t care bout no one else’s opinion ??

Yes we always diagnose ourselves in Canada drs here even thought Covid made sense so not ever trusting their opinion

Quit complaining and just leave for where the grass is greener in your opinion

I am SUPER INTERESTED in hearing your opinions on what is going on with Jordan Peterson and the College of Pshycologists in Canada as Canadiens. Hope to see a vid on it. Love your content guys. Peace & Love.

Does every flat in Canada have such opinionated floors?\nJust kidding.
