YEP QUEER STARMER WILL LOVE THIS . NO POLICE TO BUSY READING TWEETS THAN WALKING THE STREETS. I DONT SEE ANTIFA PROTECTION FREEDOM OF SPEECH, FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION AND FREEDOM OF LIFE IN THESE AREAS.....I WONDER WHY

Once you get into Canada, free Welfare for life. Even if you get a job you still get access to all the services provided within for subsidization, etc. Government transit passes, subsidized housing, carbon tax funding, food bank access where if you have a family you get way better food than single folks (cakes etc.), lots of child support, credit to attend community centers (swimming pool, etc.), paid tuition and the list goes on.

Better life ? idiot welcome to taxes and work like machine life. Stay where you are trust me

Of course not, why you don't talk about shitty weather, job market, salaries, annual GDP and companies that are in those countries. And about health care system, do you know how long should you wait for an appointment? And the US is a capitalist country, which is a big advantage for people who want to bring home the bacon. After pandemic specially I don't see Canada even comparable to the US. Anyway, for people who don't want to risk for a better life, Canada is a better country!

How sad! They've walked thousands of miles with the hope for a new life! \n I have no answer buy o do not blame those people nor hate hate them.\n This is heart breaking

?worked in CDN 47 years. Retired now no family Dr. Gov't here sucks up to all groups but me. Taxed high all my life, except in military(very low pay). 400,000 foreigners per year into country. Why??? To keep working peoples wages low. So called professional groups keep outsiders out. So they have to compete with people like me to keep wages low again. Trudeau wants our living standard on par with Africa. I'd leave if possible.?

It’s pure racism, big ass country & they know they need the workers. It’s really sad most of these people are looking for a better life.

This whole situation is untenable. It is devastating to the migrants that have to leave their homes and try to enter either the United States or Canada to apply for asylum. No amount of border protections or treaties or walls will solve the problem. And that problem is the political, economic, and social conditions in their countries of origin. In my opinion, Canada and the United States (more so the United States) need to step up to see if there’s any way to help politically and economically stabilize those so people would not need to leave their homes in search of a better life. Yes, it would cost money… But there would be definite dividends in the future as we would no longer have to invest as much money on our borders. I very much realize not only the complexity of the problems in Latin American countries, but also the complexity of what I am suggesting. But everything we have done so far has been useless, so we need to change our thinking.

I'm glad people are finally realizing that not all immigrants from the south are Mexican lol. People from all over the world come in through the south border, chinese, Haitians central americans, south americans, europeans etc. Why they're letting so many Venezuelans and caravans into Mexico and the US so easily? who knows..\nI'm all for people seeking a better quality of life but theirs got to be a better way to go about this.

Maybe we should have a drive thru tim Hortons.\nOur prime Minister won't do nothing because that's where he gets alot of votes from .. as these people appreciate coming into Canada and will vote for life for the party that gives them a chance for a better life.\nLiberal red.. Justin T

Canada is just like every other woke country. People have it good for the most part so most of the problems are caused because life is easy and they need to birch about something. \n\nShe says Canada is raciest. If something doesnt quite workout and they are a minority then they play the race card. Then if they discriminate against a white person then they justify it as they are just looking out for their own. Racist. Everyone is a victim in todays societies. It just depends on the point of view of interpretation.

Canada is too soft on illegal migrants. Thanks to PM Trudeau. Once they cross border, they applly and claim for asylum. After allowing them to enter, they start lving a good life while the asylum app is in process. They get free health care; free housing, free foods, free education all at the expense of Canadian tax payers. They receive better compensation that poor Canadian seniors. When thei asylum is denied, the stay and hide..

Canada is Paradise. If you've come from far away and need a life that you will truly love , apply here. America has better advertising I suppose, but Canada will embrace you . ♥️??

And what you don't think they want to get rid of the cartel in their life they help them get across the border for a better life in Canada. Like what does it take to give you? People a dose of reality. These people cross the American border with the cartel's help and now the cartel wants more out of them than they're willing to give so they're. Going to canevada god save their souls and every american unless this happened every day

Sweet. I was hoping for more unemployed to carry through life.

Thank god canada allows them.. Who could possibly understand the terrible life they left behind and the struggle they had in order to reach the canadian border.. I am a canadian with no immigration issues..

I pray for the migrants that are desperate for a better life and are willing to work hard. At one time all of our ancestors were migrants.

Life is so expensive here, why?

I've got nothing against legal migration and people wanting a better life. But this just set things back decades and will be a huge dog-whistle for all MAGA republicans for years to come. Geez people, what the hell?

People think USA is much better life but they'd know its just full of struggles they were escaping from

The U.S. can't afford this many people. I do feel for those who only want a better life, but the U.S. can't be the U.S. if we just let everyone in. Do it right! Please...

I'm all for helping people when they are in fear for their life. But a lot of these people are traveling through like 4 perfectly good countries to get to the U.S because that's their choice but When you are seeking asylum you should have to pick the 1st country that you get to that is safe and they didn't do that they came to the states because that's where they wanted to go. And that's just not right. They are taking away tax payer funds that were set aside to help other people in need that now has to be diverted to help them.

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.

Iphone 14 isnt a need or mandatory in life. Please dont mislead. Iphones are anyhow a shit for the price. Its a trap

You young lady are ill-informed.Telecom in Canada is expensive due to extent of territory and the low population.(as the population expands,prices go down) 2 major banks just went bankrupt in the USA and people lost their life savings,you will not see this in Canada as the government not only garantees a part of your savings,but closely monitors the banks.As for homelessness it is not a Canadian thing as you say, it is worldwide.(There is not ONE SINGLE COUNTRY in the WORLD that has not that problem to a certain extent.)As for doctors while it is true that there is a shortage,any true emergency or serious illness wil be treated swiftly and you will not go into debt for it.Maybe people should learn to not bother doctors for their hangovers and little stomach aches and thus liberate the space for real illness

These people are dangerous and need to be deported England is Christian not Muslim please stop this nonsense why the government not protecting the English way of life but enock and I and many others said don't let them in but you did now were finding out the home is just interested in foreign people sack them all have real English Anglo Saxon people witch are the real English

I am one of the persons who worked in Canada for 8 yrs and voluntarily took transfer with the same company back to India. My savings and quality of life is much better in India.

So why are these students spending so much money on an education which guarantees no future, I accept India is lacking in job creation but I can guarantee the amount of money you are paying just to complete your college years is more than what you could invest on private colleges in India and create your small scale buisness, like it's bullshit to live a miserable life in Canada, away from your family and not trying to put efforts in your own nation... I agree India is not Canada but it's way better if you are Indian

F CANADA, im in BC canada on disability for life due to immune system problems. past 10 years ive tride getting healthy and started feeling good, i found a good job last summer, making 29$ hr full time! i was very excited and ready to move on in life from the system, 3 months into it, i start doing the math... im losing 22% off each check for taxes twice per month + union dues, + they charging me for cleaning service for my uniform 5$ per check THEN i pay 12% tax on all good i buy.. SO im losing almost 40% of my monthly income after fees and taxes... NOW im working so i need a car to be at work on taime daily.... this is another 15-20% monthly expense.. YEAHHH RIGHT i am not working myself to the bone to work just to be as POOR as i was on Disability. i quit the job as soon as i paid off the car, sold the car now im my own boss again , i have no need for a clock, i sleep until i want, eat when i want, and go where i want 7 days a week. You have to be a total FOOL to work in this country with these amount of fees and taxes, and please dont say taxes are high becuase of the 2% on welfare, take a look at the BILLIONS of dollars your foolish leader Trudeau is giving to Ukriane.

I do like Canada ?? and USA ?? \nUSA is great for business \nCanada is great for life\nIt is probably better to start in Canada because immigrants are really welcome here but personally I am very tired of high taxes and very expensive homes \nI wish I could generate profit in US and live in Canada during summer months ONLY:)

I am from Southeast Asia. Australia is closer to me than North America or Europe. I love Australia because it has the best quality of life. I have lived in US and UK before.

All people living in countries with nationalized health want to continue the lie that it actually offers quality service. There is so much proof everywhere that this is not true. Canada is a perfect example.\n\nAs someone who worked for the largest hospital chain I can tell you that 30% of our revenue at hospitals we owned along the US northern border came from Canadian citizens. It kind of makes you wonder, if Canadians get amazing high quality free healthcare, why would they drive to another country to pay for it? \n\nThe truth is anybody in the countries that have socialized medicine that can afford to, ops for private care. That is a fact worldwide that nobody likes to admit. Long waits to get treatment. Long lines once you get to the facility. Piss poor quality care by people who hate your guts because every one of you has entitled lightest coming out of your ears. But why shouldn't you… you've over paid for the shit your entire life and now it's time to use it so you think you should be treated like royalty.

I am born Canadadian and left Canada with my parents as a small child. My whole life I dreamed about returning to Canada. In 2014 I finally did it and returned to Vancouver, BC, After 8 years and spending $200,000+ on rent I decided to leave. Now I live and vlog from Mexico. Always warm, cheap rent, life is great.

Think this video is grossly exaggerating the negatives of Canada. Have lived here most of my life and although Trudeau has been a disaster for the economy, Canada is still a great choice compared to so many shitty countries around the world.

Very well spoken. I do not plan on staying here, I would rather opt for a lower salary and balanced life in a warm county. Where cost of living Is less and people value you unconditionally ??

It is true about all the laws and rules in Canada that interfere in your life. We lived in the Middle East for 5 years and could not believe the difference. Less laws, less rules, less annoyance. It was great. We lived in Oman, Bahrain, and Kuwait (though Kuwait had a bit more rules that made life hard mostly when it came to owning a car if you were a foreigner). Also, the weather. Yes, it is very hot in the Middle East but we loved that. I hate the cold here in Canada and there is no guarantee that summer is going to be warm and sunny, so it is hit or miss. Most people who say Canada is the greatest country in the world, have never lived in any other part of the world and therefore, really cannot be sure of their statement.

THE conclusion is obvious. If you are rich, young and healthy with no pre-existing conditions .... then the U.S. If you are average and need some social support in order to get well into the job market and pay taxes for the benefit of the next generation ... then Canada. .... and please ... do remember .... one car accident in the US and all the success may be over even with the best insurance. Lastly, if you look for a more work-to-home balanced life ... then definitely NOT the U.S.

Your survival on minimum wage depends on your life style. Most Punjabis in Canada work as Taxi Drivers or Petrol Pumps. They are so shameless that they sell their ancestral land to go to Canada to work at minimal wage. If they have utilized their sills in their land, they could have a better life style.

Canada is very cold 7 Months Too much tax Property tax school tax insurance Stay india best country Plus bank mortgage Rent is very high He is living in small city single Family rent $2500 plus grocery Do not come canada Keep my comments Thanks me later I am well educated from india plus Queens university Economics Master I lived 44 years Speak french too But I raised my children in india too with. Cricket It is hard to work hard to save Since I am US stock investor Which I can di from india Tax 10 percent long run but Canada tax 25 percent So I decided to denounce canada passport Please again now dollar will go down best india enjoy life Look at his background now on street

Many of the people here in the comment box trying to explain how cringy Canada is even who born and raised in Canada! I am pretty sure those people never have been to a country like Bangladesh, average part of India. Otherwise, they wouldn’t even imagine to write down such a bad words about their country. Here in south Asia, average people literally beg to their boses for their sallery unless its a high-end job. Its weird to hear I know but the reason behind is the combination of inflation and instability of work-life balance. As being raised in Bangladesh though an American I can tight the difference. You wont never feel it sitting there, atleast have a summer break to south asia. Good day

I love you sir you r very truthful and very loyal of Pakistan God mey bless you long life

gotta agree with the assessment. Due to the cost of living I been scoping out either alberta (calgary) or quebec (Quebec city), and even with quebec's outrageous tax rate, it's just better than calgary in quality of life.

As a Canadian I am the first to say Canada is gone from what it used to be ....It was a beautiful country and way of life until *diversity is our strength* BS took over from the woke lefties....if you are a NORMAL person I would suggest you never try Canada to be your new country,,,,,,

Not gonna lie - all these things are true. However, you would be hard put to find a better place to live in today's world. America is not better (in fact, it can be way worse). Many European cities/countries are not better. Life in certain other continents is extremely difficult and dangerous. And, you are always free to leave. We won't stop you.

The biggest problem Canada has, is the people have intentionally been dumbed down to the point they are easily convinced to vote for a politically correct moron like Justin Trudeau who has never had a single full-time job in his life and who thought it would be great for his first full-time job to be the leader of a G7 country. People voted for him because he was cute, had nice hair and everybody had been sold a bill of goods that his father who was a long-time Prime Minister was wonderful but who actually was a dictator-loving Marxist who started the destruction of Canada. The Trudeaus and Liberal Party were/are supported by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation which is the tax payer funded propaganda arm of the Liberal Party and no one knew it. Canadians are so stupid they'll probably re-elect Justin. Canada's immigration policy thanks to the Trudeaus, is making sure that Canadians founding peoples and cultures will rapidly become a slim minority and be taken over by third-world toilet cultures. Canada deserves to self-destruct.

No country is perfect! Some see Canada as the best and their dream come through( because of PR I guess), while considering other countries bad. I’m in the Uk and very thankful I am. All I will say is this: Build the life you want wherever country you are in…

I moved to Canada in 2012. I used to love Canada as even with $11 per hour job was more than enough to survive (during studies, part time job). I used to live happy life. But, since Liberal government was elected in 2015, things are going crap. Just between 2016 when I signed lease of 1+1 apartment for 1140$, in 2019 it was getting rented for $2400. Prices went up for house and lots of things. Liberals had messed up affordability that most people in Toronto region are living paycheque to paycheque. On top of it Carbon tax in hide of saving environment which literally not working out, is killing Canadians. \n\nAfter living in Canada for 11 years, I don’t see this country has any good future overall. Our banking to technology sector everything is outdated. World is moving so fast, Canada is not able to catch up. I am looking for easy was to get green card of USA, the country which I hated, it seems USA is far better. I have many relatives in USA, I asked around and it broke lots of my stereotypes about USA which I had developed living in Canada and from Canadians. Even met few people who lived in Canada for 10-15 years and moved to USA and living there for last 5-10 years. Worst decision of my life was choosing Canada in 2012 for easy immigration. My classmates who chose USA and moved there in 2012 are in much better position career wise as well salary wise and they files are also in progress. Living lavish life with great weather, while Canada is depressive as hell.

I think every single thing you two had told us is 100% true. Because I am one of them living in the crisis condition. Have you guys heard about the Prime Minister Justine Trudeau promise he will help every single Canadian for Financial? But He actually did not do it for every Canadian at all. My name is Kevin Tran. I had received Covid-19 CERB, CRB Benefit when My EI was ran out in 2019. during the Pandemic. Guess what??? Now I have received a Letter from CRA? I am now owing the CRA OVER $25000. Dollars!!!\nDoes any body in this World knows? With the low income person like me,(less than $20000./Annually). How many YEARS, Will I work to save the $25000., and “PAY BACK” to the CRA in Canada???!!! Could any one in this Country tell me, when the Government promising to help their Citizens then ask them to pay back after the Pandemic is Over??? Is this the Type of situations that ever happening to Other G7 countries in the world??? I have not seen yet, but in Canada now I am seeing it happen to my life and Over 400000 files from other People in this Country had been called to pay back the money when they received in the Crisis situation.!!!\nThank You Very Very Much for the True information that you had share with every one in this country. Freedom Of Speech rights???!!! One more important thing, I personally want to share with all Canadians? Most of the Companies in Canada. No matter how good you can be, how hard you works for the Employers? Most of them, They will never consider to give Employees a raise on Salary for YEARS, I Meant for YEARS….Ok??? Wake Up every One!!!! They Don’t Care for Hard Working People. Never and Ever.!! Maybe There is some Exception For Certain People!! I hope you know What I meant.???!!!
