I’m with my fellow Canadians, I’ll visit the US (although even then, it’s beginning to look less and less ideal) but over my dead body would I live there. \nThe fact you have become desensitized and don’t discuss school shootings is baffling. 4 or 5 years ago, there was a shooting where I live in Canada. The whole city was on lock down. I believe one elderly woman died, and 3 were injured. The person was caught, arrested, and is rotting away in jail. It hasn’t happened since. People still remember it. My little sister and I were scared, so we hid in my bedrooms closet. (It was on the second floor, and there was no way anybody could break in and get up there easily.)\n\nHealthcare is a huge issue. My family has a long line of health issues, and with that in mind, the risk is just to obscene.\n\nI am a woman. The fact that laws are being stripped away from us by old white men who have no idea what it is like to be a woman in the states is horrifying. \n\nGun culture. It’s near-on impossible or at least it’s incredibly difficult to get guns here. Owning guns isn’t respected. When people die from being shot, it’s remembered and spoken about, even years later. At least to me, it seems you care more for your Guns and the rights to own and use them, then Women who want to have bodily autonomy.\n\nYour political issues. I don’t even know what to say at this point beyond. The entire senate is rich old straight white men who like to make laws about groups they aren’t part of, and strip laws away from others. You basically have two polar opposite sides of the political spectrum and that alone, divides people so deep they can’t even be in the same room for more then 10 seconds.\n\n\nI’m Part of the LGBTQIA2S+ community. Enough said. \n\nI’m well aware that not everyone in the US is like this. But in my eyes, that’s more then enough to deter me. I’m glad you decided to take a look at this, and see our reactions to the questions. And I’m glad you didn’t take offence to the harsh or bitter answers. Sure Canada isn’t perfect, but it’s better in enough ways to keep me much preferring staying here.

Ppl saying sh**tings and violence... nah its truly the rainbow agenda for most of us we are disgusted of what yall push onto kids. If it wasnt for the rainbow stuff and men being pregnant we probably would be indifferent toward the usa

These useless egoistic men should be ashamed look at him defending his daughter but look at the impression he has made on his daughter , money doesn’t bring class , men like this should be thrown out of the plane, also the way he is shouting at the air hostesses like bruh you don’t pay them to work their their company does , go show your behaviour to your mom ?

The health insurance you get through your job often won't pay for long term care, often won't pay for long term illnesses. And if you can't work, and need your plan, you're pretty screwed. That's why Saint Jude exists in the U.S., one of the best hospitals and charities in the U.S., that pays for children's uncovered long term cancer care. Brutal you need a charity to pay for dying children with cancer. Should be a right, no? Maybe just me. And yeah, your media makes you fight with each other all the time. Men vs. women, black vs. white, right vs. left, constant fighting so you don't work together and demand better. It's pretty shit.

The white women mixed the nation out and pussified the men and just sit with the borders open and their legs open

When you have a majority of military age men storm your borders they call it a invasion

I do not understand this attitude...they are not shooting near me and I have healthcare from my work? So? Fu-k the rest of the population??? Nobody seems to care as long as it's not there child, getting gunned down??? How do you think we got everything we have here??? We tould the government! And we staid home from work, and we protested in front of the palement and we only woted fore what we wanted!!! Women are respected and we have more women who has a PhD then men! Oh! A Danish old woman who dos not understand how you can care so little about you fellow U.S. citizens??!!

It seems seeing beautiful air hostesses boosting that man's fight power! Men will be men !!????

You are indeed living in your “American” white “bubble”. As a black mother, I would certainly not want to live in the US. Black men and boys are an endangered species sadly to say.

They to put more black men in jail ,

Tyler! I'm sorry, but you're wrong. Guns are now the number one cause of death of American children and absolutely a factor for many Canadians as to why we'd never live there. As a mixed race family, I would fear for my husband's and children's lives on a daily basis. If it isn't in the schools, it's at malls, concerts, shopping centers, Walmart, everywhere!! Not to mention police brutality, specifically toward black men in America. It's a giant nope sandwich for me. Add to that the lack of socialized Healthcare and failing public education system, there's a reason we fly OVER the US and head straight to the southern America's or overseas even for vacations. Nothing about the US seems safe for our family.

I'm a Canadian from Toronto that's been living in Boston for the past 4 years. Love the city - probably the most underrated in North America. The people here are friendly (not polite, but friendly), and I've generally enjoyed living here. Having said all of that, I'm moving back to Canada in a week. There are some major benefits to living in Boston over Toronto - the pay is significantly higher for the same job, the city is beautiful, and the weather is much better. My wife has enjoyed her time here less, as there are some subtle cultural differences here with misogyny (men in professional settings always touching her inappropriately, she's been drugged at bars several times, and she is treated poorly by many men). Things that were unthinkable in Toronto. Add the slow deterioration of women's rights in this country, and the general situation with healthcare, and its become a rather unwelcoming place for someone used to Canadian culture.

Im sorry for all flight attendants who have to dral with such rude and inappropriate people.... Reminds me of a flight from europe to Delhi once where i had to witness some middle aged men getting drunk and screaming on stewardess to get more alscohol. ?‍♀️

I was with you until 10:45. Very disappointed you didn't talk about this; it is an extremely valid reason to not move to the states. People of all kids - men, women, and in between - should be talking about this. Women are dying because of inhumane and sexist laws in the United States. Speak up.

Hey Tyler...ask the question in reverse...see how many Americans would move to Canada....and I have a question for you, Why should I have to make a choice where I live, directly in response to gun violence and mass shootings, lousy uber expensive health care , discrimination, racism, bigotry, and hatred?...like I said in my 1st post, I lived in Cali. and Arkansas in the mid 80's, as different as environments can be...yet all of the same issues, just some more pronounced than others ( surprisingly, I saw and HEARD a lot more racism in Southern California than I did in Arkansas)....but now, in the 21st Century, the fact that politicians are actively trying (and in a lot of cases succeeding) to return the U.S. to the 1900 ( taking the vote away from minorities, especially blacks and native Americans), making women bend the knee to what men say and want them to do ( the reversal of Roe v Wade, 100% total bans on reproductive rights, and the restrictive, totalitarian, Nazi/fascist bans on the rights to choose who you want to be, how you want to be addressed, LGBTQ people and lifestyles) when I see this, hear the right-wing racist, elitist,MAGA, B.S., I wonder how ANY people in their right minds could want to live in 2023 America, the Land of the Lost !

Women tend to attract sympathy by screaming. They can't keep getting under the skin of Men. Enough is enough ! So much for women's rights and Laws that embolden them to brow beat Men. If somebody is not able to adjust in her middle seat they should get her seat changed if she is such a touch me not !! ????Adaat ho gayi hai admiyon ko daraane ki ! Yahan pe bhi aadmi ko doshi mana gaya hoga ?! Seriously !!

Why when men want to duke it out is there always a screaming woman in the background ?

As far as I’m aware Venezuela can be really dangerous to live in. I might do the same thing if I was born there especially as a woman or someone with children. But even men want to live. Easy to say that you should band together to overtake corruption but harder to do it when your life is directly on the line. I wouldn’t want to lose a father grandfather brother or son even for the sake of my country. This is coming from a Texan. I’ve had illegals do my lawn care and construction. Many are just trying to make a living. They sit outside all day long in the summers by my local post office waiting for people to come by and ask them to work. Cheap prices, too.

Jesus it’s just like “children of men”!!!

Let the women and kids in, send the men back to fight their tyrannical government

I love you men

Angrejon ke aulaad rah gaye desh men ?

Canada is good for lazy clever people that benefit from social programs . The worse is for white man . Privileges are for hay lesbians , and especially for women . Men if You get to family court for some reason You are finish.

feminism and weak men, most immigrants are cowards because they cant complain. every of these is recipe to fail.

Like something from Children Of Men.

It's all men.

Sad thing is none of them are from Mexico. Mostly are all men from Africa.

Military age men…..

I wonder what the% is of men/ women taking advantage of this foolish agenda. My bet is men far out weigh women coming here. Someone prove me wrong.

it's single men will enjoy our both sexes bathrooms, age of consent is not a thing in some of their countries.

Canadian men have no testosterone.

Young men trying to invade a sovereign nation. The “most powerful” nation in the known universe. They need to stand and fight for their own countries like our grandparents did. I feel for the young kids on shoulders. I have less issue with women and children but the overwhelming amount of young men without women or children is just too much. It’s like in the Titanic when everyone over crowds the life boat. We will all sink, just a matter of how long .

This is propaganda video for the Liberal party even tho it is delivered by a extreme leftist woman from the CBC. The amount refugees get upto $50,000 is a lot more than many Canadian families make. Most Canadians are not elegible for legal aid or dental care. Who bears the cost of medicare, education, housing, policing, crime.....you guessed it, the Canadian Taxpayer. You know it is a propaganda video when she said the refugees give back more than they take. Do you see woman in a hijab or nicab working ?? She is not allowed by her religion to mix where there are men around. So most of them are pregnant, with 3 or 4 other toddlers around and you see them in malls at all hours of the day. That's how you tell the govt that you have not settled well yet and get more aid. The boat people of Vietnam came from a culture that honored hard work, education, discipline, creating wealth and the women had no restriction from religion in working with men (a lot of them were Catholic or Buddhist). The middle east people are a whole different kettle of fish. It's men who work, if at all, and women are primarily for breeding.They are not allowed to socialise with men outside the family and have to be accompanied by a male relative while outside the home. It's been five years since they landed and there have been many acts of terrorism Canadians have been faced with. However, they have become citizens and who are they voting for ??? It's not the PC. That leaves NDP and Liberals. 99% Liberals.

Good job men, if you need any back up, call on American veterans.

Not forced to leave they just don't and won't build their own countries. Want to live on the blood , sweat , hard work of others. The world is tired of them flooding their countries with poverty and crime. And why it's always the men no women and children fleeing, shouldnt the men be there to provide instead of fleeing and starting new families elsewhere. People remember Ukraine as soon as SHTF the fan Africans hit the road. I don't know why some people thought they should help fight they wouldn't fight in their own countries.

Sad thing is Venezuelans and Hondurans have very good reasons for wanting to flee here but we’re so full up with all the useless life barnacles that came here illegally that we are forced to stop people who are left with no choice but to try something like this. That is the cost of dem policy - good men having to do a thing that is right but will still be haunted in their dreams.

Don't worry about sister, pretty soon all this racism will be over and done with, because God the creator will judge all men according to their deeds.

Go home you cowards! All fighting age men and women and they choose to run.

Wait a minute CNN you are complicit in this. And you show one women crying. You look at the masses it is 100,000’s of men. And few women and children. And a couple months months ago you said this wasn’t a problem? But hey with how the geo politics are shifting and you can’t control it any more because you’re fake bias so called “news” is propaganda and everyone see right through it that’s why you can barely muster a few likes from old boomers who are going to die in a couple years and you need new cattle for left wing and democrats to ploy as you see fit. Your days are over good riddiance!

Is like that in Florida. In Florida there’s many good paying jobs there all hiring, as a Puerto Rican men with the qualifications No one is calling .

I feel so bad for the men working there, doing their best and under such stress with little support. ?

I tell people this all the time keep thinking you are welcome in Paris Tuscany Italy and Spain don't think China or Japan going roll out red carpet for your black skin either. You need a white guide everywhere today it's like VIP pass to restaurants clubs even some department stores. Till black people build it's own business , banks and black women no there places in a relationship nothing will never change. Only black men can raise their own sons not mothers. ?

But these short brown men not only follow me but they sit at the shopping centers and watch young girls tell me what that's about

Well I'm not pointing at 1 country but they're short brown men that speak Spanish that always follow me around they tried to kidnap me but I'm too smart for them I'm a creature Hunter so I already know tricks okay I have weapons I'm not afraid to use them I'm sorry if I'm not afraid fraid of Bigfoot the werewolf or any skinwalkers I'm certainly not afraid of any little brown short men

You know people when you go shopping you're in danger because I'm not going to name one culture cuz they're always short brown people men or women and they'll sit in their cars out in the parking lots at Ross Walmart targets Fish Daddy's Beyond The Border or Road whatever they sit everywhere and they spy on people they just sit there and watch people now we hear that they have these gangs that go around and you know follow people eventually they're going to get you and they're going to rob you they're going to whatever yeah yeah well I got surprises okay yeah but I'm telling you guys watch your back when you go to the stores they don't feel like if they think you're good catcher vulnerable to follow you home they're going to watch your routine get-to-know-you daily schedules when you go to the bank when you go to the ATM they'll follow you everywhere they follow me everywhere there you know they follow me to the store I'll be in there a few minutes and I'll sit there and watch them they all come in one-by-one yeah they've even tried to block the streets on me and a black SUV try to couldn't pass but I got out of there there they've been several attempts to kidnap me but you know what you can't kidnap a creature Hunter

Just imagine when the invaders came to these lands from Europe long ago, I’m happy for this because it’s going to fix a lot of those families who’ve been living on stolen land for generations. Eventually someone has to pay for the crimes against these lands the millions of men women and children who were slaughter for land rights…sorry if that means you and your security.

Sounds like miami beach the hispanics are the new ws here..... And VERY SNEAKY about their racism but they got that from the white ppl who taught them how to hate us using every stereotype possible..... But love fuckin these black men???? strange fruits indeed

Looks like a Homosexual parade! 95% men, boys. Thus is rediculous DEMOCRATS are inviting you Mexican men, not 200 million other Americans. Sickening to see American population get gayed out by pedophile President Biden.
