Police are not selected for intelligence, they are selected based on their ability to follow orders. In the USA, people who score high on police tests are not picked to move on to the next step in the hiring process. Police agencies in general only want officers who can do what they are told and who do not have any issues bending the law.

They playing the victims, if they want to wear Niqab they can move to Iran or Saudi Arabia.

Hello, I just watched your video. Three years after you made it. I hope you are still with us and a very belated Welcome. Many people throughout the world seem to have so many stereotypes about Americans. Whether it is good or bad there typically is some truth in a stereotype. Overall it seems like you are enjoying yourself and no matter what there is no place like home. I would think no matter what your current situation is you still miss Canada as I would miss the United States if I were to move to Canada. \nA couple things you mentioned in the video were not correct and as with anything there may be a little truth in the matter but yet still incorrect.\nThose who do not have health insurance are not charged or taxed $150 monthly. There is a provision in the affordable care act (ACA) that penalizes certain individuals who make above a certain dollar amount. The amount is either $150 or $300 for the entire year. I concur any monetary penalty against anyone for not having health insurance is outrageous. I could be wrong but I believe this aspect of the ACA was never implemented under President Obama and it was indefinitely suspended or revoked by President Trump. I also feel like I need to address your thoughts about the United States all about war. I believe the American people are like most other people and want peace and civility. The government and major defense contractors have differing opinions at times. Of course there is plenty of people who are war hawks but they are in the minority. Most of us are absolutely sick of war. We currently have been at war for almost 19 years. That's six complete world war 2's in their entirety. \nI think you were being awfully generous when you said obesity is on par with the rest of the world!! Unfortunately there is far to many fat people here and the problem is only getting worse because the media says be happy and proud you are fat. Celebrating obesity is absolutely insane and it sends the wrong message to young people. If a close one is fat of course I love them but I also tell them privately that they are a walking heart attack. It's more than OK to accept someone the way they are but as a friend or family member you doing them a disservice by not mentioning their obesity. \nI'm sorry if you feel I'm being to harsh or critical. I think it is a wonderful thing to share the world's longest border with such a great nation as Canada. I have always thought Canada was like the United States fraternal brother or sister. We are very much alike with a few beautiful differences that distinguishes from one another. It doesn't appear that you upload videos hear anymore but I hope you get the opportunity to read this. Thank you for coming to the United States and I love all my canadian brothers and sisters. Take care.

Why cant i move to canda? I want to assimilate and they can . This world sucks .

After they over populated their country they want to go to another country and do the same. These rich chinese just want to avoid china getting more of their money thats why they want to move out

I am a Chinese, I met this guy in person when they were holding an event in Shanghai, I want to move to Canda so much, but at that time I couldn't reach the level of IELTS English qualification. But after all, I made my decision not to join, I think it is illegal and risky. But finally, after 2 years of continuous studying of English, I could reach the level of 7.5 in IELTS. Now I have submitted all the necessary documents, but my case had been in pending for quite a long time, feeling my application could be quite hopeless.

A lot of them here in Europe are not happy, they want to move to Canada? Why? Welfare is better there?

Why are muslims playing victim all the time ! If the muslims want to be closer to their faith (More of an ideology) then they should move over to their muslim countries. Islam is lying. It is using taqqia to cheat people into believing that islam is another religion. Islam is at war with the human world. It has a stealthy agenda to advance their islamic agenda at any course. Even by making a point to wear niqab to defy the authorities is a great victory for them.

THAT IS THE RESULT OF ADMITTING IMMIGRANTS WHO ARE NOT CHRISTIANS. THEY MOVE IN THEN WANT TO TAKE OVER THE COUNTRY. THEY ARE SO BRAINWASHED, ARROGANT AND PUSHY. \nYOU NEED TO VOTE FOR LEADERS WHO WILL PUT THEIRE PEOPLE AND COUNTRY FIRST. BAN ALL MOSQUES AND SHARIA LAW.

Is a SHAME that is allowed, they want to pushed their believes & laws any where they go, not in my town, (usa) KEEP YOUR LAWS or MOVE BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM OBEY OUR LAWS YOU CAN STAY

Isn't it funny how no matter where these lunatics move they wreak havoc and then cry about being mistreated and shunned? When are you people going to wake up? The threat is real, they don't want to live in peace alongside you, they want world domination run by Muslim extremists, there is no middle ground to them. Ask yourself, why did they leave their homelands? Is it only to carry out their plan? They are run by Muslims yet they are fleeing them, so where will they run when they control the world?

Wow. Well I want to cry to because almost half my pay check every week is lost or stolen from me and given to people who just want to live for free on there ass's. Fix your own country and stop trashing everywhere else. I feel sorry for the children. No fucks given for the adults because they have the choice to work move and make a better life and not depend on others to fix there lives for them.

Why do Muslims leave there own country, to move to a free country when want the new country to become same shithole they left from?

Shukar hai kisi ne sch to bola .Nhi to yha NRI's aese ho k aate hai jaise canada pe victory e krli ho.See now people realise what's the pain of doing labour.Here our constitution gives full right of freedom to move anywhere ,right to speech still people here like treat other state people like they are strangers came from some other country.North south walo ko north east walo ko ,eastern part states ko aur aap canada ja k meager jobs krte hai and showed like they are super duper cool.Hmare log to apne e brother sisters ka kam krte hai unke kheto me kaam krte hai aur jo yha se jaate hai wo geroin ka kaam krte hai .I know remittance play very important role in our economy as I am a economics student.But I just want to say give respect to everyone in this world to every people.Our indians are there just modern labourers and our brothers here traditional just simple as that .And after if somebody got degree there ,no matters how good you are at academics first they will prefer their own white race then our people which is totally fine because they are their own people they need their security first and I understand that.I have a friend there .He told me indian students also do illegal work like working on cash or more hours than permitted.Sometimes more of different type which I can't say .but you can't judge whole race ,caste ,religion on the basis of this.Same principle apply everywhere.But I love to see my people are exploring more and learning new things there .My intension is just respect everyone with love and dignity.

Why do people apply for a citizenship while not wanting to live there? I really doubt that these Chinese people want to move to Canada ever. They don't even speak English. Is Canadian cititzenship a status symbol now in China? Like iphones or teslas?

Want To see what they really are go see what they did in lebanon or egypt there is a lot of exemple but the best one i think its lebanon ... when muslim have reach the majority in lebanon they start right away to slaughter all people who are not muslim and not a single one of them stand up To help them and save them from this so little minority of radical islamist ... who came To save those people ?\nIts ISRAËL they came with food water, blanket and military support ... And now they do it in all the country and wont stop till the entire world is muslim ... when you move in a new country you are supose To adapt yourself to the country ... we have To wake asap ???

Asylum is the new word for maybe they will buy it.\nAm i missing something?\nAre there humans being sacrificed by the Mayans again or something?\nI don't think people can seek Asylum if there government dosn't give a shit about them, or i would seek Asylum in Paraguay.\nSo why Asylum?\nIt's simply i wont bother doing it the right way and just try to do my business illegally in the United States!!\nOOPS!! Maybe i need to move now?\nYou are always going to fly under the radar when you are here illegally, your pay will always be at rock bottom shit.\nDo you want your children to deal with that when they find out?\nOr are you just using them for your own subconscious gain?

Come to La La land ... we have a fairy Prime Minister ... he/it/she will wave his/its/her magic wand and you can have whatever you want ... when the hotels are full the generous Canadians will put you up in their homes and feed you for as long as you want.\n\nWhat happened to the Hollywood 'stars' that promised to move to Canada ... have they arrived yet? They will be good to take in some illegals I'm sure.

Punjabis are like , okay we miss Punjab - fuck it we’ll make Canada Punjab .\nDude it’s Canada not Punjab. It’s funny people move from Punjab so they can make someone’s else country Punjab.\nThey don’t even want to learn English and trying to make punjabi official one . \nGod bless Canada

Isn’t it interesting how Muslims seem to always want to move to Christian countries? The question is - why don’t they move to Islamic countries? I will tell you - it is because the west is open and free. They come to these countries and take over. They have no intention of assimilation! Islamic beliefs are NOT compatible with western values. This is an invasion!

I live in Houston Texas. People often say that Mexicans take jobs that no one else will do. That may have been true at some point but now that we are overwhelmed by the illegal immigrants every business only hires Mexicans that speak perfect Spanish and not so perfect English. So blacks, whites and other cultures are stuck! If I wanted to live in Mexico I would move there and learn their language why do they refuse to learn ours? I love every Mexican that I have met. I also love water but I do not want to be dropped into the middle of the ocean. There are at least 350 languages spoken in America why are we bending over backwards 2 make our country bilingual to Spanish and not all the other languages?

A lot of people comment about how illegal immigration is ok, and blah blah blah. It's simple to say that when you don't feel the direct impact. Change the US as a country to your house. Now let's say the neighbors land Lord is beating the shit outta everyone in that household (play on the violence that's happening in country of orgin). One of then move into your house without letting you know beforehand (illegals). Let's say you don't mind and understand why they did so. Now they work hard around the house and get a job to spend for themselves and send money next door to the family still left behind. . But they don't have to pay for electricity, gas (aka taxes). And since you own a 3 bed room house, things don't change that much. Now 2 more of the neighbors flee because of the asshole land Lord. Now you have to start working slightly harder to pay for your utilities aka taxes. Now you start seeing how more people affect your household. Now even more people flee the next door neighbors and you work even harder for utilities plus your trash is overflowing, have to invest in larger trash cans, fix the doors or ascetic's(pipes, faucets, tubs etc) in your house from over use or mismanagement. Plus you have to start driving their kids to school, you have to get a bigger vehicle (that's a play on the education systems bloating classroom problems)spend more on gas and car maintenance, and since they all don't speak English, to have to spend money on making signs to inform them of the house rules and dangers. You have to invest time out of your schedule to inform them how things work in your house hold because at their house they walked around naked or shit with the door open (play on different societal norms or religions) and may even have to alter your rules as not to impose and anger them. Know the house is over filled and they expect you to buy a bigger house (play on the welfare state)I mean I can go on... But people reading this can get the drift. Point is, yes i understand that people want a better life and all immgration in not necessarily evil, but you can't just let anyone come in because you feel bad. Making change based off emotions of a few is detrimental to the whole.

Native Americans have trouble with drinking I have rented to native Americans several times and it has never worked out once the money from their grants run out or once they fall off the wagon and start drinking again they end up getting evicted I have tried several times it has always been a disaster many of them have come to me saying they have a drinking problem they've stopped drinking they want to move to get away from their friends that they drink with and if I would give them an opportunity they would be very appreciative a month or two later they are beating up each other it's not my fault that Native Americans have a drinking problem it's also not my fault that need of Americans get a lot of government money and do not hold jobs in a disproportionate percentage of their population

He's illegally in the US and never learns to speak English then goes to Canada and doesn't speak English or French? He hasn't put forth much effort to assimilate. Try coming through Ellis Island in the late 1800s and early 1900s and not knowing English. You're an evil racist if you say these things but it's the truth. If you want to move out of your country you learn the Language and assimilate. The problem with the immigrants from Central America is they want to live in our country but continue to live life as they did there. Assimilate or leave.

He illegally enters the U.S., doesn't seem to understand why ICE wants to deport him.  So he illegally enters Canada and doesn't seem to understand why they want to deport him.  So instead he plays the system by moving about to get his case 'put to the bottom of the pile' to cheat yet MORE time to stay in Canada illegally.  Then when he gets told 'NO', he changes up and says he no longer in any danger of returning but now it's humanitarian.  Time to pack up and move back to El Salvador and turn your home country into what you want it to be.

This is ridiculous, these people can’t follow the laws of any of the countries they willingly move themselves into and yet want everyone around them to welcome them and bend to their illegal actions.....the audacity is psychotic.

Now I get it...When I am looking around at things to shop, one of the store staff is constantly with me, whichever way I move. I always thought they just want to be there to help. I can't shop longer with someone constantly watching me browsing through. After 5 min, it builds up pressure and I quit.

Why not move to Saudi Arabia if you want sharia law? I mean... they're everything y'all want, aren't they?

Canada's cold, expensive & boring. The people here spend 1/3 of their time talking about America and the other 2/3 about hockey and how accepting and 'nice' they are. Our country hates Americans yet they rely on American brands, tv etc. For their livelihood and know more about their political situation than their own. I want to move sooo badly

It's always a one sided point of view.They can say anything they want and we're supposed to believe them.They're so afraid to say anything good about Canada because they'll  get their heads chopped off.It amazes me how the media is so quick to jump at the opportunity of a minor complaint about one jerk.Mind your own business and we'll mind ours.If you want to live in a country of Us and Them,then move to Saudi Arabia where you're complaints will land you in the stoning pit.

Stupid women covering their faces. They do not seem to realise it degrades women. O.K. if they want the Niqab they should move to a Muslim country. Your religion is a private affair. Most religions are anti women and as women we must fight this.

Enjoyed the video. I sent a message to Hannah but she has not returned a message. I was wondering if you or anyone who is reading this would give me some answers. I live in Canada, retired and am thinking of moving down to the US to live with my husband's sister and husband. They are going to buy a house in Sun City, Hilton Head. I was wondering Derek if you had to get someone to sponsor you or did you just move there? Have you since gotten health care, I was wondering how much you are paying. I read somewhere also that you have to take your drivers test, written and driving test since most states do not acknowledge Canadian license. Any other suggestions would be much appreciated. If you or any of your readers want to email me, my address is copp12@hotmail.com. Thanks.

whats wrong with leaders of the western world can't they put their foot down and let newcomers that they must become a nationalist, specially muslims, they are not Canadians, they are muslims, they become Canadians when they need medical care, welfare, social housing, When they travel do they have Muslim passport of Canadian passport, are they idiots or what? if muslims want to travel and live as muslims why not move to muslim countries FIRST AND FOREMOST WE ARE ALL HUMANS

What about the terrorism that Christians are involved in?  The sexual abuse of children that still goes on today.  People have to remember not only were Pope John Paul and Pope Benedict were aware of the sexual abuse the perverted priests and bishops engage in,  but Pope Benedict went out of his way to move and protect the pedophile priests.  The Catholic church has spent millions on lawyers to prevent having to pay out the victims of sexual abuse.  The catholic church also has in its possessions stolen art works and valuables stolen by the Nazis during the war.  They have not handed them back to their rightful owners.  And to add insult to injury the Catholic church enjoys tax exemption status and protection in Canada while the victims of the church do not have access to services to help them rebuild their lives due to the effects they still suffer as a result of this abuse.  \n\nAn example of the further victimization sexual abuse victims of the Catholic cult have been exposed to is the practice of Crimen sollicitationis  Crimen sollicitationis states that if a person speaks out about their sexual abuse experiences within this cult they can be ex-communicated from the church.  \n\nAs a white man who is an ex catholic and who also had sexual abuse from this church it is my belief that many young children who were sexually and spiritually abused by the Catholic cult did not come forward because of shame and did not want to have to be exposed to this kind of re victimization by the Catholic cult again. \n\nI believe it is because a lot of Muslim people are people of colour that they are persecuted in Canada.  The real terrorist in Canada is not only the Catholic church but a spokesman for them the Crime Minister of Canada Stephen Harper and the Conservative Party of Canada.  The are terrorists who rig elections, and their party is rife with criminal and illegal activity and are a threat to democracy.  That is why everyone should be protesting their anti terrorist bill they are ramming down the throats of Canadians Bill C-51  \n\nIf you have nothing intelligent to say and believe being a conservative makes you exempt from the laws of Canada, and you are set in dismantling democracy, the Conservative Party of Canada wants you.

Thats shocking.. if they want sharia so bad then just move to a country where it applies! But they wouodnt would they as they yave it so cushy over here... feck7n get rid of em, they just fuckin problem after problem

Thats shocking.. if they want sharia so bad then just move to a country where it applies! But they wouodnt would they as they yave it so cushy over here... feck7n get rid of em, they just fuckin problem after problem

If they want sharia law, why not move back to their own countries where it's already imposed? This is disgusting, they want to change every place they go to and adapt it by their own beliefs, but if you go to a muslim country you have to cover up and live by their own rules of course. I have to say, i was in East Ham the other day with my bf, kissing on the street and this muslim guy giving us ugly stares. I just looked straight in his face and smiled. -----
