Claiming Canada is a single US State is unjust, as far I'm concerned. All the provinces get recognition, or America can forget the whole idea.

We just had an election in Ontario and basically nothing changed. Ontario has been one of the worst performing provinces in Canada for the majority of Doug Ford's mandate over Ontario but people seemingly don't care enough to want change. One of the major problems with Canada in terms of politics is that the aging population has some of the largest block of voters and can pretty much overrule anything that would benefit the younger generation if it would hurt their investments.

If my country doesn't get housing costs under control they're in serious trouble. The average house in the town I live in is something like 900K and there's basically no local economy. With costs so high I can't afford to start a family. If we keep gaining old folks needing healthcare while keeping housing expenses high and wages low taxes will have to keep going up.\n\nI am not going to continue to pay huge portions of my income for the benefit of the elderly while I can't afford a decent lifestyle. I don't want to but it seems moving to the US or elsewhere is the only option if things continue this way. At list point the local governments are so invested in denying housing permits and abusing zoning laws to prevent housing being built that the only way to fix it would be to strip the provinces and cities of the right to decide their own zoning bylaws. \n\nI want to see a change in the constitution that makes zoning bylaws illegal. There are too many people thinking of their self interest and not of the Nations interest. We deserve to lose the right to decide what can be built in our neighborhoods. We have been abusing this right for too long

As a proud Albertan the only ways Canada can succeed in the future is vast sweeping reforms across the country and government at all levels or joining the USA and getting a fresh start for each province. If non of those things happen we will fall so far and probably end up a failed state by 2040

I grew up on Vancouver Island and the local government didn’t allow for secondary suites. Then with housing crisis continuing the fact that province had to step in with a carrot and stick approach to municipal governments to approve more housing and change regulations stick being if you don’t meet targets you lose power and carrot you hit the targets you get cash this created a direct opportunity cost of nimbyism plus the federal government would top the amounts if a municipal government hit there housing targets. It changed really quickly the municipal government changed the law to allowing secondary suites to be built which the cost per square foot to build is 1/3 compared to new builds. This allows more rental properties and housing options and allows more people to purchase goods and services in the local area and not dramatically increasing the costs of new infrastructure to service them as compared to a new housing development on the outskirts of the city. A home could comfortably double it’s density every effectively, affordably and swiftly.

High real estate prices have fueled hidden corruption by all levels of government. Until you try to build something you just can't imagine the fees and cost of regulation compliance. Since values keep rising there are more hands out demanding more by all levels of government. Another (sort of) related issue that has been ignored until recently has been Trudeau's reparations to First Nations. He has manipulated the courts and civil service to acquiesce to whatever is demanded. The province of BC just ceded sovereignty to an Island chain (Haida Gwaii) to an indigenous group that is against virtually any economic development. Northern Canada, as vast as is, is essentially blocked from new resource development. Every investment, including housing development, needs approval from, usually in the form of a payment to, an Indian Band. The level of corruption here is at South America levels.\n\nI think the unsaid part about excessive immigration levels the last few years was that was used to mask what the government was doing.

Im going to be fully honest. Trump usually ends up saying something completely stupid and absurd at the time, but in the future there ends up being some truth to it. It's like he can see the future or something. So imagine if Canada gets so bad, that some Canadian provinces secede from Canada and join the US. ?

As someone living in Canada... I actually don't feel much of the things mentioned in the video. Sure, wages are not growing as fast as it can, but as someone who managed to purchase a home *before* the bubble started to expand, I'm living steady right now.\n\nWhat is REALLY causing a large part of the social and economic issues is actually the fact that provinces are NOT expanding new towns and cities in the millions of kilometers that needs to grow. Everyone is moving into cities, including refugees and new immigrants, which is driving up local prices and demand for everything. A few years ago, there were literally news of townships outside of the major cities offering houses and land for $50 per acre if people move to those towns and live there. \n\nCanada's biggest (heh) advantage is how much land it has. It's biggest weakness is how little comparative population it has. The worst problem is the concentration of population in like 6 keys cities throughout the entire country. If more people who complain about housing or social issues were willing to move outside of the major cities, they wouldn't have those problems.

biggest difference is cultural, America is a country where people take risks and face hardships due to free will, Canada is a British colony and Canadians are still peasants, society is very complacent and obedient. I moved from USA to Canada, I live in Alberta which is a freedom loving province, but even here they bend over to the idea of monarchy and how important to support family of German pedophiles that lives in Windsor castle thousands of miles away.

Still a living standard far better than any of the 50 (sort of) united states.\nIt would be a lot better for everybody to have US as 50 additional Canadian provinces.

I am a caregiver ,I would like to work in manitoba province but still struggling to get job offer

India has most imagrants settling in Canada, Africans settled in Jamaica soon Canada will look more like India mutch like Jamaica looks like Africa. As long as imagrants are law biding that's growth. Shouldn't be bias and welcome imagrants. USA has Soo mutch land to offer only kamala Harris plan to open boarders more to India Pakistan failed. Trump like controlled boarders were Canada Trudeau welcomes imagrants from Pakistan, India. Trudeau's lust and lack of brains towards sinful same sex. God says in holly Bible in Leviticus same sex is sinful. Foreign countries imagrants flee to Canada and USA to practice sinful same sex. With crime increasing with imagrants stolen cars as shipped over seas, Canada has to deport all criminals and there whole family only then would imagrants be mindful knowing they'll get there whole family deported at this point its a joke biggest gold hesist at Toronto airport prime example besides imagrants on news always for crimes like crime theft, sexual crimes, fraud. Welcome to Canada were leaders are too bussy making corrupt deals for new highways, (Ford) Trudeau's biggest latest scam high speed rail from Toronto just to Quebec. Forcing every province pay for French scam of year stealing tax payers dollars from all province. Trudeau saying using Canadain steel only was to blindly fool Ontario to think Trudeau's saving jobs when fact is hese stealing tax payers money all across Canada for a French project that only Quebec wants so French can see CN TOWER,NIAGRA FALLS.

You can thank your wonderful Justin for this. Ontario keeps voting Liberal, and the immigrants vote Liberal. But it’s also happening in the major cities in Conservative provinces like Alberta. Lots of immigrants been landing on the cities and they’re voting in liberal city councils - who love spending money and increasing property taxes to pay for ridiculous initiatives “to attract more immigrants” !!!!!!

Just because wr have the longest border between ?? &?? does NOT mean it's impossible to secure! A LOT of the land is NON ACCESSIBLE between us for 1. Secondly, if EVERY province took responsibility for the length of the border they share with the ??, (JUST like we in Alberta have done), it's a VERY doable situation!

Just for the looks of the video, I can't think of any Northern states or any Canadian province that borders with the desert in between?. That's all clips that the southern border the illegals coming across are the ones coming from the states into Canada. They're trying to make it seem like it's the other way around cuz they want us to secure their Northern borders. If they want it secure they can pay for it

One of our most embarrassing provinces is south of 49th parallel the premier there has issues. Please forgive him LOL\nSee we can joke around too

They came from the States by bus . You cannot fly in Canada and not pass by a Detention center. Plus you cannot just walk out as the borders is far from a big city in Quebec. So they had to go from one province to another and by car

I hate to break this to you, but when Trump was elected, almost a million crossed into our Country, Canada, many are in hotels in my City of London, Ontario, and I'm quite sure all Provinces and cities. One of my cities is now 70% people from India,

The 11th province. You wish we would save your ass. Hope your happy with the orange men

Palestinians are Lebanese, Syrians, Iraqis and Egyptians. Give them Jordan or a province of Saudi Arabia. Perfect two-state solution with Israel. If nothing else works, give them Ireland or Norway.

It’s worse than America….I’ve been to several provinces in Canada, and it’s all the same! The racism/discrimination is bad! I was shocked!!

Yeah, Canada is not a real country. By the way. It happened during 1931. When Canada got the chance to become a country, Quebec didn't want to be a part of it so therefore it was not an official country. That means the people's right Constitution didn't go through. Each province can easily leave and join America or become its own country. That's why you see province to province have tariff on each other. Then people complain when US puts 25% when Canada is ripping themselves off.\n\nAll Canadians tax money is bribing Quebec to stay attached, or else Canada will easily fall apart from any direction. Facts!

As a black man living in Alberta you can stop with the ignorance right there. When it comes to racism I would much rather live in Edmonton or Calgary than literally anywhere in Ontario or Quebec. If this was in either of those provinces there would be way more than three people on site.

Tenant law sucks in Canada mostly in Ontario province ?

Many students leaving Canada came without proper research, seeking only white-collar jobs but ending up at Tim Hortons. Nursing, constrution jobs, rulal jobs, has no issues here, and there’s no need to go back. Still, many Indian parents only want to say their child is an engineer or doctor, not a nurse or construction worker—despite these jobs being well-paid and in demand. Canada is more than just Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary—there are entire provinces most international students don’t even know exist. Move there early, not at the last minute! Change your mindset, be flexible, and you will succeed!

So, what you're saying is BC might not agree with the western provinces joining the USA.

Lets keep i real. The desire that most immigrants have is homeostasis which is the familiar. All humans do this. Individually indians are usually smart and decent people. But in groups ( and this doesnt just include indians) you get this group thinking that is prejudice against anyone who isnt one of their own. Im fairly certain its a good demonstration of what a different culture would experience in their own country. This is especially noticeable in markem with the Chinese population. \n\nLet me say this loud and clear. We didnt let you come here so you could start your own countries inside of our country. And beleive me, your gunna get rocked and put in your place if you guys keep coming here and being disrespectful. That goes for the any culture who is putting themselves first at the expense of other Canadians, and im not talking about white canadians im talking about all Canadians from anywhere. We re all equal and you will not be allowed to position your selves in a way that gives you immunity to these values. \n\nIm getting really tired of going into business like tim hortons and knowing what the nationality of the owner is by just looking around at the staff who work in fhe business. We let you have a seat at our table to break bread with us in a mutually benifital relationship. But what is pretty evident is that a lot of these people dont like us and if it was up to them we wouldnt exist. They fail to behave in a way that acknowledges the truth. That the family whos heritage is of this land, built this house that your living in. With our low corruption goverments , our clean drinking water, our free health care and education system, with our opportunities that make it possible through merit and hard work that it doesnt matter what family or where you were born. These are attractive features of canada that play a role in why people want to come here. And leave where they were. Its it logical to think that you have more to learn about us then we do of you? Not being on some selfish punk shit is canadas greatest strength. Its that same inclusives mentality that keep the government corruption very small which empowers the citizens to make them successful and able to contribute more back into this system. The very nature of hoarding resources for ones family, same culture, etc are the same oppressive situations many of these people left their countries to seek better opportunities. But once given those opportunities and a chance to decide for themselves, a lot of these people use their liberties to create exclusion and hostility toward out groups. The indians do this in a very overt in your face way, the chinese are more polite about it but both have this way of looking out for their own and not being concerned with anyone else. As far as im conerned you should all be split up and dispersered to live in different provinces and cites. I know this isnt realitic but it would save them from what a lot of them are gunna end up be exposed to which is experiences with native born Canadians who are going to very rudly show you what happens when you disrespectf someone in their own home. \n\nThe party is over. You people need to start being Canadian and care about Canadians like you care about your own culture or get the fuck out!

Very conservative video, coming right in time for the election. Immigrants are always an easy target, as this video shows well. At this point - Feb 2025- a lot of condos have been built in Toronto and guess what, nobody is buying!! The economy dipped with the pandemic as it happened in many other countries! When I immigrated to Canada - and I had nothing then, it was impossible to even think of buying a house, under a Conservative government. About 10 years later I was able to purchase my first home and am doing well, thank you. So are the builders in this beautiful province, close friends with the premier. I wonder if this video is independently produced - I doubt it! There are plenty of people happily living in Canada!

CANADA JUST TAKE CARE OF YOUR BORDER… IMPORT MORE HUMANS FROM INDIA AND CANADA WILL BE PROVINCE OF INDIA

The Emergency Measures Act should be proclaimed -- The preamble to the Act -- 1) Sets out the general obligations of the government with respect to the safety of individuals, the protection of the values ​​of the body politic and the preservation of the sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of the country; 2) Points out that the fulfilment of these obligations may be seriously compromised when a national emergency temporarily jeopardizes the prosperity of the country as a whole or exceeds the capacity or powers of the provinces to intervene;

Trump did a favor to Canada if these dumb liberals can understand! Stop being dependent on Americans by lifting taxes tariffs between provinces, lift the dumb carbon tax and build pipelines!

There's going to be pain on both sides, caused by one man. Canadians will have more resolve in this trade war than will the US counterparts. The whole of Canada is behind the leadership of the provinces Premier's and the Federal Government - regardless of party. Resolve isn't an issue.

This is just an another tactic to draw world into recession!! Due to such Geopolitics common man is only one ends up suffering!! ?\n\nProduce canadian, buy canadian. Diversify trading partners from Eu to Asia. ??????.\nInstead of competing with each other, provinces should work hand in hand.

Trudeau must go and the barking of provincial ministers like Legault in Quebec is pathetic!!! I was hoping that Legault would look for a partner in Trump, not an opponent! Legault forgot that the most important problem for Quebec is maintaining its national identity! Quebec's lack of cooperation with Trump's US is idiocy. The western provinces of Canada will take advantage of Legault's confrontational idiocy!

And if you want to know more about Canada, just let me know. I was born and raised in Alberta province. I have fell out of friends and the US

I want your province to nominations me under Visa sponsorship program so that I can stay in your province

Could Donald Trump be following in the failed foot steps of Bibi Nutanyahoo of Israel or Adolf Hitler wirh his immigration/ war policy ? \nNo body is sure but do not self-deport from the United States because of fear.\nNevertheless, it appears that President Donald Trump has to start a war to protect himself from serving jail time or paying a multi-million dollar fine for his crimes. Therefore, upon taking charge of the United States government, on January 20, 2025,, he will try to:\n1.Replace United States generals in the military that he can not totally trust due to their allegiance to the Constitution or other laws.\n2, Remove a significant number of undocumented migrants and try to secure the Mexican border against threats to his Administration.\n3. Order the United States military, in the Summer of 2025, to take control of four Mexican provinces next to the state of Texas: Nuevo Leon,Tamaulipas , Coahuila and Sonora.\n\n4. Order the United States military to attack Iran and China

My dude you just said that health care is never discussed in american politics. \n\nAlso, all these people saying that health care in Canada takes years and years for things that take weeks in the US are typically full of it. Yeah. Some provinces that shall remain nameless like to break contracts with health care professionals, resulting in shortages of certain types of workers. \n\nI live in remote northish parts of my province (not NWT, Yukon, or Nunavut), and 6 years ago I was diagnosed w/ lymphoma. They had me set up to do chemotherapy treatment within 2 weeks. They wanted me to start that weekend, but I needed the time to put my work in order for me to be gone for an extended period, get applications set up for EI/Healthcare claims, and figure out who in my family I wanted to share the information with. \n\nIn Canada you end up waiting for elective surgeries and treatments, because they aren't critical by virtue of being elective. That's about it. If you need an elective and have 10K in your pocket not doing anything, go ahead and go to the states.

Alberta contributes 26% of ?? GDP with only 14% of ?? Population. No support from the other 9 Provinces & NW Territories!! \n\nAlberta is ?? Diamond ???!!!\n\nTrump likes Diamonds ???!!!\n\nAlberta soon to be the 51st. State of America ??!!!!!

Free advice to Colombians: Take back Panama, an artificial nation created by the US, formerly Colombian province and join BRICS.

We Asians, if their is no livelihood in the city, all we do is go back home to the province and do gardening and survive.

Canada has become a province of India

bro absolutley ROASTED my province \ni love MB ?

Immigration need to remove 10 Millions INDIAN otherwise Canada will become to an INDIAN PROVINCE

Put rcmp on the border with cbsa and give every province a provincial or territorial police agency problem solved

Please do not be too discouraged with the world, a lot of changes were caused by election of leaders disconnected with needs of its citizens. You have the personality to be capable of living anywhere, and seeing other cultures-it seems your business skills and determination will lead you to success wherever you choose to live. I am a citizen of the USA and there are many things of my Country that upset me and make for at times disgust and a sense of unhappiness! However, your home (Canada) may with changes in your Parliment and Prime Minister, and /or Province leaders be the home that warms your heart and soul. Have you considered being a political leader in your home (Canada) as you seem to possess a sense of wisdom and how to implement positive change(s). I wish you much continued success in your business endeavors and a sense of belonging and happiness wherever you go….!

Piss poor journalism at best….typical.\n\nShowing kids in line and woman crying. \n\nI feel for the people of Mexico who want to start life a new. However the open border policy has created a criminal nightmare for many people, counties, states and provinces. \nThe executive order that is now in place and the executive order that calls cartels terrorists will be critical in getting this mess cleaned up. It’ll be a miracle that it’s resolved in 4 yrs, not only that but gets what little justice that can be brought for the families that have lost loved ones due to murder.

Quebec is the most parasitic province taking most transfer payments at 13.6 billion dollars annually.

As an Indian I even want to put restriction on travel and work on people of Gujarat, Haryana Punjaab UP Bihar Jharkhand, Andhra, Keralians to other provinces in India. They are extremely harmful to the local people and culture and social fabric of other provinces in India.

I always joke about Alberta. Most of the province is flat and boring. It's like BC felt sorry for them and let the province have a small slice of what most of BC is like, in Banff and Jasper. ?
