I feel sorry for the struggles they face in their home countries…but no. We need to get ourselves together first. They know damn well they shouldn’t be doing that.

We have the same problem not with mexicans, but we have so many people that live on the streets any are English, I wish the Government would get their shit together, there are so many large homes that are empty and shops, I'm sure if they gave homeless paint and materials to fix the properties that they would be happy to make properties liveable, it's not just 10 or 20 i have seen 48 in the past month and must be in every area, I feel so sorry for these people they just want a better life, there's 10000s that come into our country illegally, probably because they tried many times to come here but refused,I wish I had the answer, I also wish I could post what I know to be true, but I can't,?

I dont feel sorry for these of people....i have friends who did it the right way, poor and without much means they still did the paper work, interviews, paid their fees, and waited years.....and yeah they made into the US - while others think they can bypass the whole system of law or order and our democracy just bc they are poor. Poverty does not give you the entitled if not demand rights to be in the US or Canada. Not to mention lie about their persecution when others have true tragic horrific stories, and valid reasons to be in the US and Canada. I m not falling for these illegals....do it right. And stop the pity parades and making a mockery of our laws.

holy crap we can't even support our own population let alone a potential 400m+ population. i feel sorry for these poor people but we can't let anyone in, legally or illegally for the foreseeable future.

I feel sorry for these people but at the same time they’re country’s need to get there fucking act together. This war torn 3rd world crap can go on no longer. People call the u.s the u.k etc war mongers? Well take a look at this right now. We have tried over the years to put your country’s straight but you didn’t want that help. Same here in the uk we get flooded with Africans and Middle Easterns. Change your country’s and turn them into democracy’s ! Get rid of your backwards medieval ways and maybe your country’s might be atleast better and safe places to live.

Man I feel sorry for the officers as well as the desperate folks. This is really a sad state of affairs

I'm not even American or Mexican but god dam I feel sorry for America its like the beaken for everyone that's alot of pressure

I feel sorry for those people who have to leave home for better future and lost loved ones on the way to Canada and USA. Kudos to policia, they are so polite. ?

Oh man I am Venezuelan but doesn't I mean i think or feel sorry for this pp, unfortunately and probably most of them vote for the current goverment trying to get benefits and now think US needs to take the burden?? THIS IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM!! Or any country whatsoever, you are not gonna let in random pp on ur house before ur own family

This is directly result of having Vice President in charge of the border and A President that's doesn't even remembering his own name half of the time, yes come on in and come to my house i have a lots of chocolate.... This country has become a lawless, public education system are dumber, moral values are gone, taxes are to the roof, and can't even helping our own vet and homeless , but yet we trying to help other. PETHATIC !....\nthey are sucking the blood of the small business and middle class like us.... And yet there are American people still supporting them, i dont care what side you're on, no one give rat a$$..... but if you dumb enough to not see it, i feel sorry for y'all and your kids ...WAKE UP!!!! Do What Is Right...

Middle east is so big, and less populated and they need lot of workers, venezuelans are hard workers venezuelan government and middle east can solve this, I feel sorry for the venezuelan people.

I feel so sorry for these people but when Biden opened the borders what did we expect. This is democratic voting at its finest.

I feel sorry for them I really do but you got to come in this country the right way.

I feel sorry for those little kids to be turned away. Parents should go the legal way, through immigration.

I feel sorry for a lot of these people. This is going to keep happening, especially with climate change and unstable nations. Canada do treat these migrants slightly better than the United States but this is a hard thing to fix right now, with all of the things going on in the world. I am a hard-core a Democrat and I don’t have any solution to this issue, but there needs to be one.

I feel sorry for you guys in the comments

Tell me why majority of the'se people are using asylum card? All countries have problems!I'm quiet sure every one has a story to lie.Why not get on the line like everybody else? Instead of using the system why not wait? they want you to feel sorry for them. I

I don’t feel sorry for these people they should do things legally it’s not stay in the country you came from why should you come and take our resources taxpayer money that’s not right and we shouldn’t stand for not here in America not in Canada ship them all back where they came from

are we supposed to feel sorry for economic migrants gaming the system, looking-for the best deal”I think I will have a better quality if life in Canada”; TRUE REFUGEES FROM WAR, PERSECUTION:yes, every person who wants a better deal—sorry get in line and apply for visas. STOP THE INSANITY AT BOTH-BORDERS . I am a life long dem and sick of this BS.

The Canadian border police have to say that but they will let them in and care for them. I am a Canadian and I’ve had mixed feelings about it way back before I grew up. I’m 52 years old. These people are looking for better lives and there’s no reason that countries that have the resources can’t help them. I’m sorry I just feel like it’s our duty to take care of them. My family came from Europe in the war. If I was not let in here I mean my family I wouldn’t have this great life in Canada hope y’all can have compassion and we can all help each other.

Not gonna lie... seeing that baby's face at :12 really just kills me on the inside. I can't help but feel so sorry and sad for them.

Sorry but no. I don’t feel bad for them. They’re trying to force their way in by breaking the rules. They have already shown they would not be good citizens & promote lawlessness! That isn’t what we need. \nWhy don’t they go to Mexico City or some other South American country to wait? Those are good countries & there are jobs there.\nAlso I read a lot of times they’ll bring a kid along, that they aren’t related to, just so they have a shot of getting in. That’s a bit sick

You are both 100% right. Canada rips off their citizens. I honestly feel sorry for the people that move here full of hope of a better life ( and for many it is) but they have no idea the wolf at the door of Canada ( our government) that is forever getting worse by the day stealing and cheating their citizens out of everything. Poverty is rising by the day here in 2023.

LA is a terrible example of living experience in the US, if you are a foreigner and LA is the first place you lived, I feel sorry for you. I've been to 48 states and lived in 7 states, so I've got some experience.

If you are earning over 220k of salary, you are in the top 1,5% of earners, in one of the richest country in the world. Sure, you can complain about taxes, but if you move to the US for more money I certainly won't feel sorry.

After watching murders by nisang sikhs i dont feel sorry for this guy as i could read his smile and attitude he has the blood of nisang sikhs he could have been humble and corporate with the officer why do u need knife now its been century everybody needs to accept changes

Welcome to the new Punjab. You can already see them doing brawls, driving cars dangerously speeds, catcalling women, harass those who don't speak Punjabi, keep the house as messy as they could and never rent to those who don't speak Punjabi. I'm myself an immigrant and i can see how some retards misusing the system like crazy. This govt is aware of everything and not why this govt is often turning a blind eye to all those misusing this immigration system. This govt is in a row to turn this country into mini Panjab. So many jobless ppl around and not sure where these 1.2 million will live. I'm sure alk of them will hop on to Toronto and make this city New Delhi or Panjab. I feel really really sorry for all the hard working ppl who built this nation just to be ruined by dudes from India or Panjab. Vote wisely next time please

This is truly heartbreaking, I feel so sorry for International Students who came here with dreams but were given something far below that. I am a Canadian born student, brought up and raised in Brampton but I made friends with many international students. I don't understand how International students have to pay 3-4x our tuition, cover their living expenses, and have work restrictions on their study permit. The truth is competion is everywhere and companies are competing for top students who go to credible universites. I don't see how international students are suppose to compete with these students when there is a shortage of high-paying jobs. I truly feel bad. I advise students to tell their stories to their younger siblings and cousins back home and prevent them from living a hard-working life with little reward. Advise them to complete their studies back home and find a job in big cities back home. As a domestic student I struggle to pay for my own expenses and I could not imagine if I did not have my parents support. This is fraud on another level!!!

I feel sorry for these students. Not only international students, Canadian citizens even could not distinguish the colleges just being there which sold a lie.

CBC actions too late as this is going on 15 years ago if you are analysis numbers report you will see bug GAP - Cashed In Big Dirty Money. I feel sorry for the young students. Keep Speak Up - Your Voice to wake up all levels of the Governments.

❤Thanks for great work you do and I hope the government will do something about this issue and other issues you report to us.\n❤Charging 5X to foreign students are not fair and unjust and i feel sorry for international students and their families \n❤Many thugs of Sikh community in Canada are doing scams, frauds and corruptions in our innocent and unguarded systems and our government should stop them.\n❤

So I think Canada is ranked 3rd best in the world to live in (I might be wrong but it's top 5 for sure). Your speaking about nothing to do in Canada, Health care concerns, high taxes or cost of living and other things (honestly your video was just hurting my head listing to). While Canada does have issues (like any other country in the world) What you outline highlights the privileged life you are living. You are correct in pointing out that the health care system is flawed, it is not perfect by all means but AT LEAST YOU ARE GETTING HEALTH CARE. Take the stats for example (I had the privilege of going to the hospital in Texas) My bill came to 3000 for a twisted ankle. They charged me over 500 dollars just for walking into the hospital. I'm not knocking that stats, but if you do not have money, you're fucked for health care. Instead of waiting 8 hours to see a doctor, you're now on Web MD trying to diagnose yourself. You are bitching about high taxes, how do you think Schools, Police and fire services, Emergency service hospitals etc etc etc get paid? through wishes and hope? You are again welcome to go anywhere else and enjoy whatever bs they have going they might have low taxes in other parts of the world but your going to have to pay for certain services you are taking for granted here. As Cost of living, if you live in Toronto or BC yes the cost of living is high, but at the same time, the average household income is high as well. I'm sorry minimum wage in most of Canada is roughly 15 dollars an hour, and the average incoming for most provinces is over 100k. I'm not sure what else to say on that subject :D As for things to do, seriously, stop living under a rock. Please go and travel Canada, to name a few things you can travel to Niagara, Go to Banff, Visit hot springs or enjoy any of our national parks. Not to mention all the multicultural festivals that take place. I guess what I'm trying to say here is, Canada is flawed and has its issues. However, It's a beautiful country and is a gem of a place to put roots down. I'm sorry you guys didn't feel that way.

If yu are planning to migrate to canada, be ready to go back to school..bcoz your degrees are NOT recognize here!!..forget abt getting hired! .so this video is wrong..nice try to sell yourselves, and I feel sorry for the people to buy this BS!..Dont listen to anything whatever is shared, it is not easy otherwise everybody wud hv been in US n Canada.

This is the reason why most Asian that come from the upper middle income and high-income countries only came to Canada for citizenship. After that, they go back to their countries to work and live. Especially those that retired. My parent and their friends already bought the property back home, and with the retirement fun they receive here, they have a really good life back home. They are even able to afford their maids. I just feel sorry for the senior that retired here in Canada.

As a Naija, the truth be told. It is all about the individual... Do you know what you want? How much do you know? Developed countries are organized, things are working according to plan. I give it to them. I feel sorry for Africa, we don't even know how to solve our problems. We just can't stop chasing ourselves. When will we get it n get it right? Complaint everywhere.

Im sorry,I dont feel anything for these illegals!! my family came from Russia during war and walked most the way and my fathers side were from Ireland and were the lowest of the low and NEVER GOT ONE PENNY!!!! these illegals get everything and more !!!! There is NO comparison !!!!!!

3:14 \nIslam and communism is a dangerous ideology.\nWatch YouTube channel named 'Apostate Profet' for knowing the truth. \n\nNote: \nI am not anti-Muslim. I am just anti-Islam.\nThere is a difference between Islam (Ideology) and it's follower (Muslim). \n\nMost muslims are just normal people because they don't know the ideology in detail. They are just Muslim because they were born in Muslim family, they just recite Quran (which they don't understand, do prayers etc) just like a ritual without having the in depth knowledge of the Islam. They just feel that their identity is attached to Islam, so whenever someone attacks Islam they feel the urge to defend it.\n\nBut few Muslim who do in dept reading and follows actual Islam are radical like ISIS.\nWhich is very dangerous for liberal society.\n\nThe common perception which forms in the mind of westerners is that, 'Islam is good but some people interpret it in little strict way and get radicalised. Those few people are the problem and not Islam'.\n\nI am very sorry, but this perception is very wrong. The truth is Islam is dangerous, and few people who are joining ISIS and other groups are just following their relegion.\n\nWe need to counter this ideology.\nAnd now people will accuse me Islamophobia. \nYes I am Islamaphobe, because I know about this ideology.\nYou never sought Comunist phobia, then why this.

What the heck is he talking about??? His kids will never have that problem. What does he knows about paying hydro, rent, 1bed room basement apartment $1.800.00 a month, mortgage now goes around $5.000.00/month, price of groceries and gas...he doesn't know his pants from his ass. I get in a terrible mood listening to him, I don't have kids but I feel so sorry for this young couples trying to start a family. \nYou know how sometimes we wish to be young again? Honestly not on this times...

Shoppers Drug Mart is the worst offender and they are the most likely to be own by a minority. I feel uncomfortable every winter when I get a cold and have to grab a cough syrup. They train their employees to act like loss prevention. I feel sorry for the minimum wage earner who is taught to moonlight as loss prevention rather than a customer service employee. Btw I'm black.

I know in the medical profession standards are much higher in Canada than in a lot of places where people immigrate from. I know of two doctors who came here from Ukraine and they didn’t have the qualifications yet they were doctors in their homeland. They now are both nurses. I feel sorry for people who come here and can’t make it but on the other hand it’s good to have high standards in medicine in particular.

Asher sahab, I know you from you TV film background and story about your life. app sey guzarish hai key you should avoid talk too long and speak quick and fast and better to make a scripts before and be limited according to the scripts then go for general talk and talk just should not be a talk it should be more visible and active. I am sorry if you feel bad, but this is a practice of most of Pakistani peoples which you should avoid on international viewers. Pl you can response me if you have a question shukeria bhai.

I feel bad for laughing about the seal clubbing joke, so I'd like to apologise and say sorry to all clubbed and unclubbed seals. \nBut lads, you're hilarious!

What I came to realize in life is that people don’t really like you, they like your talent/skills. take your time to be skilled in something and people will hunt down your skills. this applies mostly to all people based on statistics. if you are white and you ain’t skilled, you will be fired. as simple as that. businesses want to make money. so if you are black and you have what it takes, businesses will hunt you down since they will realize that they need your skills. I have learned that from Thomas Sowell and it has freed my mind as a young black man. I am a scientist ( I aspire to be the best one ) and I have started to reap what I sow. stop trying to make people feel sorry for you. work hard, get skills that are needed in the society and the rest will take care of itself. Also, you gotta hold yourself on high standards as a human being and you will be a blessing to the community. have a wonderful day y’all. love one another. we are the same race ( human race ) with simply different skin colors. just like FLOWERS of different colors. we need to change our mindset and things will be better for sure.

Aslaamo alaikum\nDear Ashir i have listened you carefully but the thing i think is, how can a man like me get migrate from Pakistan to Canada?\nI am a driver now, before this i had spent 50 years of my life in jobs since i was 19. I got my education upto F.Sc., due to separation in parents i had started to do jobs and still in struggle to make my kids educated. When you disclose the reality about difference between two countries please think 1% or may be sum bit, people like me feel that they are failed by the word KISMAT and you understand who make Kismat. I feel heavy heart while i had struggled for better but never got success just because i am from those who are really poor and more over belongs to a community which never been stoped to be discriminated. I am very much upset in trying to be truthful just to see most of whom had a corrupt money or ethic they get success and rate it by adding that Pakistan left no values nor else what. I know Allah is every where and sees every moment for his creature spent in living a life without any luxury or normal and always put in struggle with an end of this life. I request you to tell the truth that don't make decisions as one wants but remain calm that Allah will give you better in after life. If you feel that you didn't understand what i want to say you can mail me, my id is mfarooqaslam1@gmail.\nPlease don't feel bad i am v much sorry if so. I have pain and waiting for end of this as per Gods will.\nRegards and gratitude\nFarooq.

i feel sorry to my fellow countrymen. Forgive and Pray for him. Let Jesus do the right thing for you.

I feel sorry for these women! They don't know their religion and what the Quran and Muslim sources say about women. Why would they choose to follow such faith?

Just keep going north next stop Russia, I,m sure they would give your family asylum, stay in your own country and try to change that one however with the corruption and crime of the socialist type government change would be slow coming feel sorry for them but illegally crossing one border after another is not the answer, countries have immigration laws to keep them safe as well.....

I dont feel sorry for him. Why leave the US?

I feel sorry for that guy who fell for all the racist propaganda that turned him into a raging Islamophobe, hook, line and sinker .

Dear any and all Racists people: please note that there is nothing special about you that makes you feel important than others. We all entered this world the same way and we will All leave the same way. I feel sad and sorry for you
