I am a born and raised Canadian and have seen my country go downhill for at least the last couple of decades.\nHealth Care: doctors and nurses are moving Stateside in droves. No, the US doesn’t have universal health care but there are insurance plans and the care is enormously better. My girlfriend had 4th stage throat cancer. In Calgary the doctors at some point told her there was nothing more they could do for her and to get her affairs in order. Her father sent her to the Anderson Clinic in Houston - yes it was expensive but they treated her, saved her life and that was 24 years ago. \nIt’s common in our emergency rooms to wait up to 12 hours to be seen. \nOur system isn’t progressive and doctors and nurses don’t get paid near as well as in the States. That being said, I am happy that I don’t have to pay to see the doctor or have a stay in the hospital. \nCost of Living: Once upon a time it was good - housing was cheap and many companies had the full range of benefits and salaries were equal to the cost of living. Now these same companies have stripped the benefits by hiring people under contract so they don’t have to give them benefits. \nRents are through the roof and in Calgary there are no rent caps. Buying a decent house in a decent neighbourhood is impossible unless you inherit or make a six figure income. This, in no small part, has created a homelessness crisis that never had been seen in such numbers before. Crime also is getting worse by the day. Canada was once known as a safe country. This is no longer the case.\nEverything is very expensive and the tax very high. Plus, we have to suffer winter! Where I live, the joke is that we have two seasons - July and winter!\nI still like my city (not love) but I am retired and own two houses - one inherited and the other bought when it was affordable (32 years ago). Calgary would not be a place I would live if I was a newcomer. Vancouver is beautiful but you really pay for it. \nTrudeau has helped make a big mess of things with immigration and lax criminal laws. My beef is not with immigrants I must state - it is with the lack of jobs for them when they come, thereby forcing bad living conditions and an over reliance on the social systems. I add that the immigration population is much more willing to work in jobs they have to take (despite a high education) than our natural and bloated citizens.\nSo yes, Canada has increasingly gone downhill. On a positive note, hand guns at least are not legal and our country has beautiful natural land.

Brampton is lost and so is the rest of Canada

why move to canada if you wanna be indian ? become canadian or else get out

interesting I live in the US, and we have the same problems here homelessness, drug overdoses, and high taxes, some states have higher taxes than others, home prices are skyrocketing, and no new homes are being built. no new low-income housing. Just a real shortage in housing period.. Yet, we have gotten so many immigrants from all over the world flooding here. I can't understand why they come. We have terrible medical care. Public schools are awful so glad I do not have children. I ask myself has the whole world gone crazy? COVID closings& forced vaccines, insane people out there driving like well like they are insane. I find myself staying home safe in my yard. Wondering why you moved to Canada? What made you think it would be happier than your home in Singapore. Which I know nothing about btw.

The amount of hate against Indians in Canada is just unfathomable. I understand these students want a better life but they should seriously consider leaving Canada as soon as their finances are sorted. It’s a dangerous world, and it wouldn’t take much for this hate to turn into physical violence.

Do you know of a website where remote jobs in canada are listed ? I mean remote jobs that allow a canadian company employ a person located outside of canada. Thanks in advance

Watching from Toronto canada

Khalistan sa panga leya hain canada ek sath hain sikh log abt sikhaya ga hindu ko maja indians ko aunki dukat dhikhana ka leya

Have you ever try to adopt the life of the first Nation? Canada is multi-cultural, and it is nice to see how towns and cities are different from each others.

I know that Canada is a very cold country

All my hard work and tax money is going to these people. I want my Canada back the way it was. This is not the “polite Canada” anymore ? Thanks to pretty boy Trudick.

NY needs to stop accepting them. Canada needs to stop letting them in too. Sickening. Vote politicians supporting this invasion of the US out of office.

I hope no one is dumb enough to think this is simply Liberal or Conservative or even NDP issue...they've all failed Canada, and all have been doing nothing but helping those who utilize housing as pure investment and nothing more. Apply this to any of the sectors discussed in the video; banking, telecom, housing, etc.\n\nEVERY, and I mean EVERY government over the last 30+ years has been looking out for those with capital at the expense of everyone else. Every government has had an opportunity to completely change any number of sectors that are entirely not in the average citizen's favour, and they've gone the opposite route and helped their buddies with deep pockets instead.\n\nDon't get me started on the fact that the common citizen is far too stupid and hung up supporting a colour/team to really demand more from their government. Or they're too busy thinking about $1 beers at the expense of the firesale happening under their feet.

11:02 India is not a democracy at all, it speaks of ignorance when you make claims like that. And yes it's a dangerous country for a lot of people. That doesn't mean Canada should open its doors to them but facts matter.

Well in Canada ...at least if you get sick you won't be financially wiped out by hospital bills ...also in the eighties long distance charges were crazy I remember back in the day my girlfriend used to pay about 200 bucks to talk to her mom in northern Ontario calling from Toronto on the weekend then in the 90s Sprint came in and there was 10 cents a minute so there

I am also An Indian but trust me i respect everything abt Canada, I am well educated person who always follow all the rules and regulation , Dont Smoke , Dont Drink , respect every person around. Dont Litter , Keep City and surrounding neat and clean. I request you all to please dont judge ppl over their nationality , colour , language they speak.

Get out of canada

YES, YES, YES.... We do want them all out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's an INVASION and it needs to stop. We MUST deport a couple million to try and get the country back to peace and order. \nOne Tim Horton's worker becomes the anchor to bring in parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, the kid down the street, ALL OF THEM invade Canada and contribute nothing. They ruin housing, clog up public services, poop on our beaches, and never even try to fit into Canadian traditions.

They want to make Canada another India. They are not educated , keep on social assistance and do not speak the language

situation is bad to worse in Justin T Canada look below news : \nCouncillor says Young girls being prostituted for rent in Brampton, Ontario,Canada

Student don't have visa printing press you voted the government who advertised canada is a welcoming country you are welcome ,shut up that government before slamming students.

Support Canada from Indonesia ❤?

Canada protects and breeds assholes starting from their Prime Minister.

Even today if canada offer you PR you will come I bet you.\nDespite you have been rejected befor?

No Indias or Pakistanis end up homeless. But for sure 20 years from now, the president and prime minister of Canada and USA will be an indian. Their is already an indian contender for the USA presidency.

We're happy at least no more competitor in job markets and stop from making Canada a breeding ground for this indns thats the real situation today.?

I wonder if a international students get a women from Canada pregnant and they are about to have a child or have a child..\nDo they get to stay in the country too?

India s are definitely using this student visas as a backdoor entry to Canada. Other students from other foreign countries are not pressuring the Canadian government to secure permanent residency it's mostly Indians who are taking advantage of the sytstem?

Canada sucks

Permanent residency should be abolished other wise Canada will become third world country like India, Bangladesh. Backhome in india, bangladesh there is unemployment, poverty, severe competition and chaotic and find foreign country as heaven.

Asylum? is their home country an active war zone? And is the war cause by Canada? If Canadians are struggling to make a living and to afford an apartment, let alone a house, then what do they think it would be better for them? And why does the government not take care of their own citizens first?

These are some Robotic Answers to get instant Refugee status in Canada:\n\n1) I'm Falun Gong\n2) I'm from HK and I love Colonialism and Democracy \n3) I'm Ukrainian\n4) I'm Iranian but my mother is part Ukrainian\n\nAnd the best one..... \n\n5) I'll vote for JT

TRUDEAU and his liberal party has done more damage to Canada than anyone else , a cancer destroying Canada

But abi Canada or USA ne bola vo ✈️ blast indian agency ne kiya hai

If you came to Canada to change your life, then do not revive your wife as a terrorist!

Canada is losing its diversity

My life is good enough but I'm older than you and was able to buy a house, etc... My kids on the other hand.... I worry for them. Both of them just got their EU citizenship, but I'm not sure if Europe is any better (I don't know yet). I'm anxious to see where you end up. \n\nSidenote, my mother's side is Ukrainian and settled in east rural Saskatchewan in the early 1900s. Ukrainians are the most hospitable and wonderful people, and growing up, when I would go visit them, it was almost as if I was in Ukraine, not Canada. The language, the food, etc... it was wild and I never appreciated it for what it was until I was much older.

Immigrants are leaving Canada? Well done Trudeau

If you can't afford it don't send them. The stress is not worth it. I thought you had to show the Canadian government that you have the money to go to college in Canada. WOW. This is sad

I’ve been working state side for over twenty years and in my opinion Canada has been going down hill since the the tail end of the 70s I’ll never return

Please Sheetangshu be positive and help Bengali hindus from Kolkata to migrate to Canada in huge numbers............................huge unemployment and poverty throughout India is forcing youths to migrate to Canada...

Middle class guy from India here :\nWtf is the Canadian government doing? Wtf are the Canadians doing who are voting for these kinds of policies and leaders?\nI sympathize with Old Canadians because the truth is that, the majority of immigrants to Canada are only the trash from Punjabi villages! Good riddance for us, but I wonder why are they being legally admitted to Canada and also now USA? Do you really need so many blue collar workers (because that is the reason given)??? Also, please make yourself aware of the money rackets by Canadian government and private entities around fake colleges/degrees and fake asylum seekers!

I dispise east indians and muslims they need to be deported all they do is Ruin Canada

About time need to get Canada back on track. They taking up housing jobs. There not here for school go elsewhere were full

What a dump Canada is crossed off my list

Too many India person in Canada now. Why collapse multiculture.

Unfortunately I believe more and more Canadians are thinking the same thing. I have lived in Canada all my life and am really looking at leaving the country. If I am thinking this then there are a lot of others thinking the same thing. In the last 10 years of the Liberal leadership has brought a lot of people to the same realization, sad state of affairs where the country is no one would have seen this 10 years ago.

Does this make Canada racist now?

Canada wakes up...

So there is no immigration problem in Canada if immigrants are leaving Canada….finally Canada has exceeded his expectations in Canada and easy to make Canada home except not being able to find a home….same global problem.
