As a Canadian I’d like to say that our “Leader” and all his wisdom hasn’t only hurt you guys with this situation but he has been ruining our living conditions for nearly a decade now, we are trying to get rid of him and hopefully the new guy that’s embarrassing him will make things right. I wonder if both countries can make an arrangement after the next elections to create a secure border between Canada and America, I also agree that people coming from hot areas will definitely NOT be prepared for our Winters….I think only Russia and Nordic/Slavic countries can equal our Winters.

Yes I agree with your video, but did you consider that illegals are also crossing from USA to Canada? This information is available online. Canada has very strict gun and weapons laws, and we are flooded with contrabands from USA. Unfortunately 99% of illegal weapons smuggled, come over the green border where the illegals cross from USA to Canada. Please look at the fantynol problem in the US, it doesn't come to you from Canada. Most of the drugs come from China into Mexico and then US into Canada.

Cash jordán why you always blame mexico that cartels this and that ,cartel are all over the globe, people that are coming are from India china and Venezuela opps those they get a free ticket that even your tax dlls goes to them but hey les focos just on mexicans right? Come on just imigane you are from this country were setters just like your ancestors took advantage and since that country didn't want to be racist about it said ok,but now they calling their peoples country alliens,even do they store that country come on dude all this laud use be mexico why down on them and yes I agree about the ones they come over here to f up but most of them come here to work ,and yes I believe in coming here legaly ,.my point is why you guys hate people from mexi ans ,? People that actually built america

Why are they keep going to Canada and not other states. The only thing I agree with Trump on is the border crisis. Because this is getting scary because of some of the immigrants who come to cause trouble.

I agree we need better border protection, but it's foolish to think, like Trump claims, that international terrorists are crossing our southern border when most are coming from countries closer to our northern border. It is less patrolled and easier to cross.

I agree to reduce drastically the number of immigrants until the current ones are dealt with

Markham, vaughan both are totally captured by other asian communities why you don’t go there to see what they do with these cities they just throw tim hortons cups, cold drinks cans near the side walks the sidewalk always feels like trash just go there and record it to the are also in majority in those cities barely see any white people why you don’t speak about them why you only target us and I also agree with you some 4-5 percent people of my community are idiots and do shitty stupid things but aslo made vides on asian to if you say we Punjabis are in majority in the city of Brampton so what we are majority in only one city but other asians are in majority in vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, north york so why you only target us for some stupid people, moreover i saw a white women peeing near a bus stop in Toronto in a broad daylight so this mean all white peoples are those type in downtown Toronto even they stole bikes they are drug addicted and majority of them are white homeles so this does not mean that all white people are if this kind also addiction doesn’t have any link with immigration they are not brown or black people they are white so please stop racism against brown people we are not the only one here .

I agree. One of the biggest reasons why things like flying are to expensive in Canada is because of the lack of competition. To many major companies in Canada have monopolies.

I agree with the man. No surrender ?? Islam is not welcome

Yes. I agree and I’m Canadian. You are living here so, I guess Canada is better. One thing you are really wrong about is the immigrants do not mingle. They make their own ghettos. They do not mix with others. So, you’re wrong.

I agree with her

Just wanna present some of my views on this topic, as a indian living in Canada, a lot of points in this discussion are pretty valid. Although, the hate is also in my opinion a little misdirected.\n\nInternational students pay three, maybe even five times as much as domestic students in terms of tuition fees, and while I 100% agree that not everybody even deserves to stay here, a major portion of fault is on government. If you want to make an argument, that government or the country in general never promise the residency status in Canada, then regulate the tuition fees, make it manageable for everyone.\n\nIf you don't want to do that, fair enough, then provide opportunities, there 100% are bad apples in the population, I will not deny that! But you called them, you took the responsibility, you promised the opportunities and students paid for it. Now you hate us for that, either build the bridge both ways or don't hate.\n\nI am genuinely more frustrated with the system rather than immigrants, it is becoming a widespread trend to hate immigrants but I believe the government is just as much at a fault. If you think I am wrong, I would to hear your views on the topic, it is a pretty complex one, just be respectful.

I'm a Nova Scotian in Toronto that went to High School and College in South Carolina then lived in Chicago.\n\nI agree with a lot of what you say but not on Chick-fila. It is just over priced now. in the 90s in SC it was so GOOD. \n\nMy only hard disagreement is our politics. Our politics are boring I agree but that is because classically in Canada, our politicians stick to the issues. We try not to make our politics a spectical like Pro Wrestling. Frankly, Canada is freer & more democratic. I'm no Trudeau fan but his government got their shit together for Covid and have really done an amazing job on the economic recovery. Where the so calll Conservatives are cozying up to some very extreme groups that talk a lot of herritage shit while crying about immigration. As a white guy, trust me when I say, when we whites start getting worked up about herritage and immigants it is a bad combo.\n\n\nAnyway, sorry to get so intence, I really did like your video and glad you have both made a home here. All the Best to both of you.

I have some comments about some of the things in the video. Including Olivia Chow in the video when talking about housing affordability with local government policies I don't think is right to inlcude her as she only got elected last year and has to deal with all the decisions and issues from the past Toronto mayor. It's similar to blaming Biden for the economic issues of the US when a lot of the reasons for the downturn economy in the US during his first term was the impact of the economic policies that Trump put in place, it takes time. In terms of the carbon tax, I think its a valid criticism with the compounding issues canadians are facing, but also take into consideration that the provincial governments also have some play with this, as they have the ability to go for the standard carbon tax or implement a cap and trade. A lot of conservative governments like to complain about the federal government about this, but they are also to blame for some of the lack of affordability for political points. As well for the banking fees, we do have a smaller selection of banks, but there are some options that Canadians can have that do not include fees (Simplii, Tangerine). Everything else in the video I agree on, I also think personally that all political parties need a shake up in leadership.

I'm a dual citizen of the USA and Canada (born in Dallas Texas, now lived in Canada since age 7). I agree with your point about American's being kind but getting a bad rap. I think a big part of that is due to media because for the most part you hear about the bad news about what Americans have done but you rarely hear about the wonderful sides of American people.

I totally agree they should band together in their own country and straighten out the government over there why are they invading us taxpayers here in America most of us have two or three jobs and can barely afford a rents

While i may not agree eith everything you said, some points you said hit right at home. Good for you and hope everything works out for you and your family. ❤

I agree with you 100%. Excuse, Canadian experience is a farce. IT or Engineering or even Medicine is the same everywhere. Yes, standards may be bit different. What Canada does is trying to maintain its pension system and economy by attracting you and skilled immigrants.

Canada is in crisis due to immigrants so I don’t understand why you keep coming. Of course Canadian people will not welcome you, our kids can’t get jobs because all jobs are filled with Indian students who agree to work for less ruing our work system. We have Indian people crapping on our beaches because they don’t know how to use a bathroom. Complete different mindset and culture. We are a clean country and welcoming but millions of people at once is too much. I’m pretty sure India would feel the same way if Canadians would do that to you. Not sure why everyone in the world is allowed to be proud of their culture and heritage except for EU or western world. Please stay in your country and work hard at making your motherland great instead of Turing your back on it. Now Canada sucks and sad to say we all know what the cause is

Ok. I agree that they want to live their, but why they keep attacking Israel? Can they live.there and the Arabic countries help them, economically, not getting more weapons, but creating jobs or something like that?

from an italian that dream canada i totally agree with yourr conclusion at the end of the video

This video is full of bullshit. Like no human being is perfect, no country either. The actors exaggerated a lot. I agree Canada has problems but if you are counting problems then weigh it properly. Everything depends on person to person. Can’t apply same equation everywhere. If someone is earning good in India then why do you want to try any other country ?. We must accept the fact that our country India has the highest unemployment rate with a huge population. Can’t expect modi or yogi to fix the problems. Or for the matter of fact- any other politician.

I am a Canadian citizen been here for nine years and I have not seen this country this worse . I completely agree with everything you said, and on top of it, I will add being a Canadian citizen does not help the cost of living is so high even a blue collar job will not support the cost of living. My dream job nine years ago, which I currently have is a nightmare in terms of cost of living..

I am an Indian and I agree with True North

I am an Indian immigrant who came here in 2008, and I 100% agree with the message of this video. The immigration crisis is out of hand because corporations exploit students, the students asking for too much, the government not doing anything about it, and not bringing in people to fill needed roles. \n\nThe government must focus on lowering overall immigration targets by being more diverse with their recruitment, along with focusing on improving specific sectors.

He interviewed mostly homeless and addict people . Are indian people responsible for crime ? \n\nI agree with the fact that they should follow rules and care for society. I don't live in brampton, but look at toronto. Who is responsible for no development? \n\nThis video is very racist in my opinion.

The whole idea of a food desert is so alien to me. I have never been in a town where you could not buy actual groceries. And it is not just that fast food is everywhere, but the servings are just stupid! \nI agree with the flight costs, but it makes sense when you have only 40 million people in the second biggest country on earth, 90% of which is wilderness. There are not enough people to share the cost. \nI love that our politics is boring. The result is that government can actually govern.

How arrogant and disgusting are the people saying to leave them alone and protect them. Yes i agree they should be wary of interaction with diseases they may have no immunity against. But who are we to say these people don’t deserve to become literate, to be creative with modern materials, to have easier ways of making fire, of staying dry, treatment for injuries, dentistry… the modern world fetishizes them and treats them like zoo creatures. Except trapped in a human body that we vicariously live our Luddite fantasy through in glimpses. What if this culture is one generation away from producing a mind like Albert Einstein’s, or skill like Leonardo Da Vinci? Or what if they simply want to have a simple life without high childbirth mortality, and starvation.

I do agree with one of interviewee who said that if you come in to country that speak English you MUST speak English and learn the culture. We Canadian need to vote this governor out!

The biased is insane ? y’all are completely disregarding the situation. The man is supposed to carry change and he messed up by neglecting to do so . The mocking was uncalled for, I agree. That aside, any normal person would be irritated not being able to get their change.

I can agree canada is relatively safe or at least it used to be. In high school back in 2011 I forgot my wallet at a cineplex movie theatre cashier areas with $600 dollars my mom had given me I went back and my money was still there. Few years later, maybe 2013 accidentally left my wallet at a gas station after paying for gas, came back 5 minutes later and an Indian cashier stole $20 out of my wallet lol so could just depend

To all the people saying leave them alone. \nJust stop for a moment and think about how you sound ?? \nIf i talk about stopping people coming to the uk and simply changing our cultural values im labelled racist. \nPS, i do agree that they should be allowed to live how they wish and would go further and say Britain should send troops to defend them if necessary.

I agree is there any jobs like a doctors secretaries a local supermarket

I really appreciate your in-depth analysis of how unwelcome those countries can be, particularly, for sub-saharan African immigrants.\nLife for Africans in most of Asian and Gulf countries can be highly challenging.\nI do agree with you.

Since you both decided to make a video with half truths, let me educate you- \n1. A student visa is a temporary visa and literally no country promises permanent residence on a student visa. Scam consultants in India, shady colleges in Canada and spurious potential students line up to abuse the system. Good that Canada is pushing back \n2. Amazon wale bhaiya doesn’t exist in most developed nations with high cost of labour. Would you rather take your Amazon return package to a mail centre or get paid less at your job\n3. Average home price is $300k in 2024\n4. Around 43% can afford a primary residence in Canada which is bad but not as bad as 10%\n5. lol I agree that safe supply was a stupid decision but Canada is not ridden with homelessness and drug use. Far from it actually\n6. Dental, vision and prescription meds are typically covered by employer insurance. There are govt policies in most provinces to cover these for low income families and seniors in most provinces. lol there’s no way it’s cheaper to go to a dentist in India \n7. Wait times for specialists are bad but if it’s urgent, one may access a specialist as soon less than a week. And no, babus don’t define it its an emergency, doctors do \n\nWho’s the hypocrite now? Canada, with all its recent problems is still miles better than India

I agree with most of the information in this video. I lived in Canada from 2015-2021. When i used to attend college, parking lot always smelled like weed. People were always lined up at the “recreation drugstore” even in excruciating cold. Also, the job market is bad, most of the employers are racist. Permanent residency is very hard to get. Free health care is actually not free. It is deducted from your every single pay checks. If you had any emergencies, be ready to wait for more than 10+ hours; sometimes more than that. I remember when back in 2015, prime minister justin, got more than 5 thousand Syrian refugees, and people were complaining that they are currently facing job shortages, housing issues and many other things but their needs were completely ignored. I recently visited Canada, and it’s getting worse now, lots of traffic, crime and homeless people. I would still recommend if you want to go and get educated because the education system is good. But if your goal is only for settlement then i would suggest to apply for permanent residence first.

I agree and every Counrty has there own issues. I am living here from 5 years, I do my dentist, physio and other things in Canada. It's depend how much you earing and saving and have a professional job and medical insurance. But on the other hand, yes health care system have problems bcoz lack of Dr and Nurse and I also think politics also play a huge role in it. Bcoz Canadian complain about sending money to other countries and not focusing Canada. There is number of things change in five years and everything is so expensive now. Every country has their advantages and distadvantage. I like Canada but also love India too, I just don't like people who just sees bad in their own country and good in western countries.

I agree with drugs part but drugs to India mein bhi hai.\nBut the reality is Canada is a great place to live and work.\nThe more challenging part is weather.\nThere are bigger challenges in India like corruption, electricity, pollution, food adulteration, human trafficking, disparity on the basis of wealth.\n\nAur Bhai students ki life yaha film stars se better hoti hai. They own mustangs and Ferraris ?\n\n\nCanada mein sab log ek Jaise hain, koi bada chhota nahi.

At 3:50 right now, respectfully disagree to one thing - it’s not “hypocrisy” for them to control their immigration policy which is in their best interest. A nation’s policy is and should be intended to serve its citizen’s best interest only. \nBut i get the general msg about Canada that you’re putting in this video and i 100% agree to that :)

Watching this from New Zealand and I absolutely agree India has best healthcare in the world. Here you have to wait atleast 3 hours to be seen by a doctot in EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT ?. In India we call that general department because emergency means straight up not waiting 3 hours. \nPlus my wisdom tooth removal for 2 tooth $2000 ? while return ticket to India is $1500 and my dad is a doctor so free treatment. Once again from my experience India has best healthcare.

All things mentioned in video is true. I have been living in Canada from past 4 years and I do agree with all points. Houses are unaffordable and rents have gone too high. There are NO JOBS as well. I cannot even recover my student loan, instead I've to ask for more money. I cannot even afford a car as well here. Things are worst here. I'll repeat DON'T COME TO CANADA.

I live In Toronto from last 5 years earning good with 2 jobs but i can Agree to all athe points infact can Add 10 more disadvantages.. Never Come To CANADA ??

I have always enjoyed ur videos..\nI think u should start some video's titled dark secrets of UK, dark secrets of europe, dark secrets of netherlands, dark secrets of india.\n\nNo country is perfect like how no one life is perfect.\n\nI am a citizen of canada..and i have gr8 respect for india my home country and canada..\n\nSome issues that i think\n\n- canada has many province's other then BC, ontario..and u will be suprised be the quality of life we live in small provinces of canada.\n\n- I work in the healthcare sector and its gr8 here for patients and workers...my experience has been the opposite.\n\n- i feel raising a family here is way easier for us...everyones story is diff..\n\n- people r very polite\n\ninflation is everywhere..it is getting hard for everyone..i agree with ur points but i think it is for the super populated places and honestly i would never move to those areas too as it would compromise my quality of life.\n\nSimilar issues tht i faced in india and hence moved..

i am big fan of your videos but as off i live in Canada since 2022, I am partially agree with you about drug, house rent and medical. \n\nOther than that I’m not agree with your views on loan you can get loan easily in canada.\n\nCanadian government is deporting that students or people who has misconduct the documents or have done some minor crimes or some other issues. \n\nYes there are lots of homeless people in canada but they are homeless because of their own mistakes like drugs and etc not because of the high rent i was a international student and i was paying for my rent. \n\nYes there are so many negative views about canada but most importantly you can earn by your self which is not possible in india. You can start from small jobs in canada which will pay you a decent amount on the other hand no one can earn that much in india while doing simple job. \n\nHere I’m not saying that India is not India is the best and i love india but as you say that grass is greener on the other side. But you also show the good points about canada. And it’s not gamble i have seen thousands of Indian students who is helping their family and making their own career in canada. \n \nOne suggestion for the next time you should have conversations with international students who is living here.

im indian and i completely agree with u, there are way TOO many of us here, Canada is a joke i js wanna move to the states

I completely agree with most of the points mentioned . Especially high housing prices and taxes

I am currently in vancouver as a student and i 100% agree with all this

Agree ? , but no one believe till they face reality, even I am in Canada and now regretting every Day on my decision ?? really depressed no work hard to manage everything but already I have been a burden for my family never succeeded in anything that's why I think to leave INDIA for changes but here I am stuck again Bro naa ghar kaa naa ghat kaa seems perfect for me:( but what I can do fact is now nothing going to change for my sake .

i m in canada before covid hit and lot had changed since then i agree with what these two said about dark side of canada and to be honest every country has dark side you are responsible for ur own life wherever u live do nit be oine sided i like india. and canada both
