im lucky even tho im broke, im doing okay compared to most Canadians... I ive in Burnaby a city next to Vancouver. I pay 2050 for a 2 bedroom & 2 bathroom condo, I split the cost with a longtime friend I only make 19hr but I can afford the $1050 rent and my car insurance is only $95. If I were to look for a rental today I probably wouldnt be able to... have to maybe live in my car or move out of this city. All I know is Vancouver so that would be really tough for me.... it sucks what Canada is like in the 2020s..... too much bs

I love this video, very honest and accurate. We all LOVE Canada. My wife and I live in Penticton, we are going to sell our home and move to Thailand,, I feel the same as you do, love Canada, but not what has happened to Canada

I lived for 8 years in Canada and then moved to Singapore three years ago. That was the best decision I ever made. I came back to Toronto this year, and was completely shocked by the cost of living, the drug problem on the street, and the huge amount of immigrants from one single country taking over the whole Canada.

I think it's good that we run this kind of story. Most landlords especially for condos like this one in Toronto, are owned by regular folks who still work a job and have budgets and families. They aren't greedy, they aren't big corporations; they're just people who bought investment properties and want to rent them out for a price. Canada needs landlords because not every can or even wants to buy real estate.\n\nWhen you see stories like this, which I think are outliers, they're good reminders that being a landlord is risky and income properties don't print money. It's also a reminder to good tenants (which are most tenants) that your landlord isn't being paranoid when they ask for references, proof of income, etc. They would rather scare you off then be saddled with a non-paying, non-leaving tenant (rare as they may be) and they don't know you (and you don't know them).

If Trudeau would leave to join officially the WEF with Freeland after the election of Pierre Poilievre as our new Prime Minister of Canada , would you consider staying here in Canada?

Nobody speaks up, but it's the truth. Canada use to be a squeaky clean country and well-respected around the world. Use to be in the top 5 of best places to live. Now it's not even in the top ten. Toronto as large as it is, use to be a very clean city compared to other cities in the States during Mayor Art Eggleton's day. Now it's fallen by the wayside. There are more homeless than homes. Less jobs than before and at the same time prices for everyday items have risen. Absolutely ridiculous. Somebody up there is not doing their job. We gave the Liberals too much power and they have become complacent. Time for new leadership.

Trudeau explaining this idiot. From a fired snowboard instructor, drama teacher to somehow a communist leader of a canada who is running the country into the ground \ni'm Canadian and canada is a awful place to live high tax crime is up. refugees all over the place you need a gun now in Toronto or Vancouver

Wherever you go, I hope you can find the home you crave. I cannot believe the state that Canada is in, I always enjoyed the closest city to me (Lethbridge) and now it's starting to feel incredibly unsafe to even walk around in Downtown.

Canada has always had great potential, BUT that is and has been under attack and is eroding quickly. No country can do what we are doing and remain organized and plentiful like it used to be. Sorry to say woke and cultural hijacking will be the demise of this country. Lately we do not expect people to be Canadian when they come here and they bring their garbage with them and turn it into what they left and I say to anyone, prove me wrong.

Still plenty of opportunities in Canada? I watched and saw more than a few vloggers like yourself wanting to leave Canada. A few stated costs of living and shrinking opportunities. If you are a person with a good job where you are living, I would not encourage him/her to migrate to Canada. It used to be a great country, but not so much now, with slowly in decline; Neoliberalism and Trudeau and gov. has ruined it.

The Canada the kids of today will know is nothing like the Canada I grew up in. Not in a good way.

Canada has become a broken democratic version of Russian Federation, sad but true

Nice video! I totally understand your feelings, I’m an immigrant in Canada and have been living here for almost a decade but unfortunately my wife and I are planning to go back to our country. We think Canada is going to the wrong direction and is no longer a nice and safe place to raise our kid.?

Meanwhile...the ads that promote canada inviting immigrants to move n live there still pop up on yt...???

Building public housing is a must.\nA temporary stop to immigration is also a must.\nStop blaming each other.\nThe blame is in the numbers.\nNumber of square feet of roof over head per person.\nIt is Canada. It is cold. We must have roofs over heads.\nWe must have more public housing.\nWe must pause immigration.\nPierre Polievre's Government must do both.

Who cut Canada's public housing?\n\nThe Conservatives. \n\nPollievre is literally responsible.

Disgusting ? CNN probably showed them all the way into Canada, and set this up for views. \n\nThis organization is Totally dishonest

Because Canadians are seeing their country disappear in front of their eyes. For a country with such a massive landmass, Canada's population is microscopic. If mass migration goes unchecked for just a few generations, Canada won't be Canada any more. The maple leaf will be replaced by a crescent moon... The same thing is happening all over western countries, and it is being done on purpose against the wishes of the majority. Mass migration from African and Middle Eastern countries is changing demographics at a frightening pace, and people are rightly concerned by that. It's completely reasonable and sensible for one to want to preserve one's culture and national identity. People have fought and died for thousands of years for such things. \n \nThe fact that so many cultures and nations exist around the world is one of the things that makes our planet interesting. It's why people travel. If I go to Japan, for instance, I want to feel the difference in the way of life, but if Japan suddenly opened its door to mass migration, I wouldn't any more. So Japan doesn't open its door to mass migration, and what would you know? Japan still resembles Japan.

The specific cases mentionned have absolutely nothing to do with immigration laws. You clearly have an agenda and poor argumentation. Anybody can enter Canada with a valid passport and clean background. What happens next is definitely not related to the immigration process.

..IT IS NOT 'IMMIGRATION' BUT ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION THAT IS OVERWHELMING US & CANADA!!

I am immigrant Canadian and so thankful for having this opportunity,BUT this does not look like Canada anymore,there are PLACES they look like third world. Diversity and all that nonsense does not serve Canada \nWe should NOT establish each our own country within Canada

canada is a garbage country.

So Canada's economy is a future preview of where America's economy is currently heading

Canada is really going done. We need Pierre and we need him now…

Thank you Canada for your hard earned tax money :P

The Century Initiative demands that Canada reach a population of 100 million by 2100. That’s roughly a new Winnipeg every year for eighty years just to reach a completely arbitrary number with no infrastructure in place to do so. It is possibly the most reckless, irresponsible set of policies ever embraced by a western government.

What they fail to say is that they do not have enough points to gain PR. Literally hundreds of thousands of people immigrate to Canada yearly (as per the program requirements) and that’s because they have enough points to get invited for PR. \n\nGet your points up, be competitive like everybody else.

Because life is hard in Canada...poor pay, no jobs, having 3-4 jobs but still cant meet one's basic needs, can't afford housing/can't pay rent, living at food banks in order to get basic food to eat, too many coming to live on welfare.... All of this is cause major mental health issues.

Build affordable housing and it won’t be an issue. It is NOT affordable to live in Canada without a minimum income of $100,000.00 per year, per earning person in the home.

Canada will never recover from Fidel Turdeau's globalist agenda. Done!

Canada's leadership is lazy mentally , too conservative and close minded. What is the big deal about building more houses and creating more jobs.? If the USA can do it their narrow-minded leadership can do it too.

What about the third safe country agreement? From what I know, asylum seekers will be sent back to Canada to apply for protection if they sneak over the border from Canada into the US and vice versa.

Canada has the highest taxes in the world. People who arrives here say they were lied to by the Canada Gov't. Its Trudeau Jr. fault and needs prison time. Why are you speaking to a NGO??? NGOs are a parasitical grifters.

ITS ABOUT TIME.RISE UP CANADA

Entire canada was immigrant once ....they destroyed indegenious tribe now they building ethical moral

Ended our culture killed our housing availability increased homelessness overwhelmed our medical and welfare systems increased crime increased resentment and divisions killed job availability invaded our government policing schools on and on and on you name it its being destroyed Canada is gone and we never voted for this.

I came to Canada in 2019 now naturalized citizen by grace of Almighty, all those who want to come here should try coming tomorrow bcoz there are way more opportunities, peace and justice in Canada than what Gul tells in her vlogs..

In my experience, there has always been a feeling in Canada against immigrants. This is generally among the working class. \n\nIn the early 1990s I was doing a lot of work in Canada for a US tech company. I am an American, by the way. One time I was working with a Chinese Canadian engineer, who worked for the client company. We went to the loading dock to check on the equipment from my company, which had just arrived. The native Canadian loading dock workers were openly making racist slurs about the Chinese engineer, right in front of him. He was very careful not to respond. I asked him about it later, and he just waved it off. This was in the Toronto area. I was also warned about Chinese who were involved in organized crime in the city. Then, a few days later I saw it in downtown Toronto. Two Chinese men in a Mercedes had stopped on the road and pulled a woman out of the car and started threatening her. It was a tense situation. \n\nOften it is the government types that welcome the immigrants, for various reasons. Canada does indeed have a demographic problem. \n\nThis is not the 19th and early 20th century in Canada or the US or Europe. Today we have extensive social safety nets. This means taxpayer dollars. In the earlier times the immigrants had to fend for themselves. Even then, there would be feelings against the immigrants. At least in the US it was a time of rapid economic and geographic expansion. Not so anymore.

Canada of early 2000 was a wonderful country. Affordable housing, cost of living was excellent, jobs were available but now this is a crisis. Too much immigration, not enough housing, high interest rates and inflation. Canada is not like USA it cannot withstand such crisis. The politicians have failed the people pandering to their vote banks for votes. Especially Liberals.

The citizens of Canada are right. Canada belongs to the citizens of Canada ??

As a Canadian citizen, I’m interrogated trying to re enter Canada if I travel, told to pay duty, taxes on any purchases.\nThese illegal immigrants walk right on in, get put up in a hotel, given room service meals and a govt cheque in the works.\nWe are punished just for being Canadian citizens

Canada is the New India.

But wait a minute !!! 1 million immigrants in a country as big as China and you guys are complaining. The whole population of Canada fits in 1 or 2cbig tier 1 cities in China , so their cities hv to deal with 1 million migration on a regular basis and accomodate for those changes. Wht is it do hard for Canada to handle 1 million immigrants ? That should be taken into consideration as a shortage of labor is alwaysban issue facing Canada at some point.

Its not why we bringing so many immigrants.....Its why did we bring back Trudeau ????\nNo one is to be blamed except ourselves....we gave this blunder invitation and now we all complain.\n\nIt is said that when poverty strikes LOVE flies out of the window, so when hunger strikes loot, robbery, stealing, arson, fights etc happen. Question\nIs .... Where it will stop. Its all just started n will end in streets...things will get worse than this...Canada is a Titanic that has hit the iceberg..its all matter of time now when it will go down. \n\nAnd biggest suffererers wil be the next generation...?????

Poor Canadians, Canada is lost
