First of all why is she asking people this? As a leader she should know the issues, and have the answers. Obviously she does not know, and should not be the leader/Premier. So she wants to wait another year to have a survey, and then start working on things? That sounds insane to me. With $60 oil, Danielle states Alberta's debt will skyrocket. Oil is heading to $40 per barrel. That's $50 billion dollars more debt PER YEAR than in 2024. When you add on the costs to finance that , you are looking at maybe $70 Billion deficit per year very soon. That is unstainable for such a small population. Then the separatists want to ad at least a trillion dollar loan, to leave Canada and service that debt. Where is all this massive wealth the separatist spew? Then she wants to wait another year for the people to tell her what to do about it. She is totally insane. Danielle, the worst Premiere in Alberta's history. Another survey, and another year wasted while nothing get's done? Please stop blaming everyone else for Alberta's problems. It is getting tiring. Danielle never says much that is correct. Like her ridiculous CPP rebate cheque. The way she calculated that was totally insane. Today she stated Ai would save Alberta's economy. She may not know it but Ai makes almost no jobs. It also needs massive energy and a good power grid, and Alberta's is ancient. That's why she is just a small time TV show host. Alberta's problems is as always, due to a bad Premiere, and she is the worst of them all. Dec 2025 Employment Insurance Recipients 67,520 UP 21.9% y/y Q3 2025 Net Migration 5,849 Down -86.2% y/y Dec 2025 International Merchandise Exports $15.6B Down -7.4% y/y Where do you see this massive wealth with $40 oil on it's way? Danielle states every 1 dollar the oil goes down equals a Billon dollar deficit. Rath uses $90 per barrel for his insane figures. 2025 prices averaged in high 60's. In the mid 50's now, and almost every oil agency in the world states it will settle around $40. If you add 20 or $30 billion more debt to Alberta's deficit per year, Alberta will die a very fast death. Add on a one trillion dollar loan, and the other costs to pay out Canada. Then add on all the new federal costs Alberta will have to assume. LNG will be over as BC/Canada will never let Alberta use it's plants, ports, and infrastructure to compete with themselves. If Canada does let a a new Alberta use it's existing pipelines, of course they will not subsidize them any more. They will expect to make a profit from them. So let's say they add on $5.00 more per barrel. Using Danielle's math that would add another $5 Billion annually to Alberta's skyrocketing debt every year. Can you explain to me where all this massive wealth that Rath and Wilson preach? Of course there are many other issues like business/jobs leaving. Equalization payments are not really and issue as oil plummets, especially with no LNG Equalization is based on high earnings, as Albertans make more money than everywhere else. If there are no jobs, Alberta may again start to get payments back even. Trump thinks Alberta oil will be good for USA reserves so he can just shut that down for 100 years, so what will that do to Alberta jobs , and deficit. If you ask people how they feel about Rath and Wilson begging for a trillion dollar loan...secured by Alberta's resources... "just to get started" , I wonder what they will say. She thinks Ai will save Alberta LOL AI needs massive cheap energy, and an up to date power grid.. Not strong points for Alberta with an ancient power grid. Ai also produces no jobs. Given the shape of Alberta, thanks to Danielle, I don't think equalization payments will be an issue, going forward. With $40 oil on it's way, Alberta may start getting payments. LNG will be over as BC/Canada will never let Alberta use it's plants, ports, and infrastructure to compete with themselves. If Canada does let a a new Alberta use it's existing pipelines, of course they will not subsidize them any more. They will expect to make a profit from them. So let's say they add on $5.00 more per barrel. Using Danielle's math that would add another $5 Billion annually to Alberta's skyrocketing debt every year.

The thing that never seems to be brought up is East Indians 80% own houses. They come here and they own houses and have businesses that they ONLY hire East Indians, have East Indian clientele ONLY because they all pay cash so they can circumvent the taxes. They all make babies like mice so give it 40 years and Canada will not be recognizable. And it’s the governments fault because they’re so greedy for tax money that they let the here by the boat load because they don’t wanna wait for the rest of us to make Canada larger population wise because it will take way too long. That and their tuition money for colleges, the list goes on in this non talked about bullshit that the liberals have done. They seriously do all this scheming and raising taxes just to give our tax money away to everyone but the people who pay the taxes. We could have put a huge dent in the national debt by now, but liberals just can’t conserve money hence their name. If it doesn’t stop soon, we are doomed. Surrey BC where I lived for 14 years, is just as bad as Brampton. They all own 1.6-2 million dollar houses in the suburbs of the city, all own businesses and all do the same shit as Brampton, circumvent the taxes. That’s the thanks we get for letting them here is to scam us so they can get rich quick while we all suffer and will never own a house by the looks of it. In Victoria BC where I live now, it’s gotten so bad that I can’t move out of my house I’ve been in for 4 years cuz I can’t find anything cheaper and this place is a 400sq ft 1 bedroom for $1850 a month. Can’t afford to do anything but survive while the immigrants all live like kings. There’s gotta be a line to not cross and that has been the case for too long where it’s been crossed for a long time and no one says or does anything about it out of fear of being called a racist. Call me one. Idgaf anymore. I ain’t racist. I’m just sick of the rules being severely crossed for money. Money makes everyone that has a lot of it GREEDY sons of bitches and it’s gotta stop.

I live in suburban Toronto right next to Brampton, thanks for bringing attention to this matter. Everything you showed in this video is 100% facts. These guys have turned Toronto into a crime-ridden shithole, tons of home invasions, auto thefts and robberies are through the roof, taking all of the jobs and opportunities away from young Canadians, etc. Youth unemployment in Canada is 25% all because of these guys. These Indians use these shitty no-name "colleges" to sneak their way into Canada and then don't leave when their visas expire and work illegally under table, not paying taxes on their income like the rest of us do. In Brampton, you'll often find 3-4+ families living in the same house. Pretty much any restaurant or establishment you go to, there will be mostly Indians working there, barely any white people. It's a plague.

Wow, this guy is very intelligent, he puts some clips he loaded from news or the Internet and unloaded them here to bait the people. They are coming by the thousands but the video shows only a few people. First thing is, people crossing into the USA, it's not upto canada to stop them. If somone enters canada from the USA then its upto canada to stop them from entering, not the USA. If sombody crosses into USA then it's upto USA to block them..\n\nMost of the content in this video is false. People are always trying to cross into other countries illegally, but it's upto the other countries border security to stop them and send them back..\n\nWhat a lie about the bus waiting for these people at the crossing points. LoL...sure sure..\n\nIce is nothing but a reality show, very little reality but it's entertaining to watch because people think it's real. Lol...\n\nTrump used cheap labor to built his Empire. do you guys think he hired Americans to built his luxury hotels, casinos, towers etc? Heck no, he used these very same migrants he claims to be taking your jobs away from you. Guy soreads lies and speaks from both sides of his mouth. Think about it. If you have a business, are you going to hire expansive labor or cheap labour? If you wanna make BIG profits then you knkw who you'd be hiring. Face it. Migrants will do jobs that no one wants and they'll do it for a lot less. \n\nI got a roof put on my House for less then half of what i was quoted. Thanks to the hard working migrants. Take it to the bank, ICE is not created to deport big numbers of migrants back, its created to make it look that way. How would you know how many people they deported, oh yeah, becasue the orange men is going to brag about it and you'll fall for it. Much like this video.

Imigrate to America and NY ! ? Not on my list of things to do.\nBut for those fools doing it, ilegally or not.\nWell when eventually there one cant live on air. \nEspecually if the imigrant has no ????????????? Left after enter th US.\nCrimes sure to be like.\nAlso crimes be like... Hiding under the radar from those thugs ICE or other authorities.\nI for one can visit US anytime legaly, as a paying tourist but dont even do that.\nMove there... No way. Especially as a retired guy craving sunshine where i travel and good service nice climate 24/7. ????? \nNo thanks ill pass the US, As the world is now.

? first of all get it right mayor Adams is a criminal and he embezzled a lot of money from New York I grew up in the Upper East Side in New York okay and I used to like him until he was caught and and plenty of proof it's not about him doing anything about the migrants it's the fact that he changed his tune all the sudden when he's caught and Trump is willing to drop the cases as long as he goes with the flow and does with Trump says but if he doesn't he's legally allowed to bring the case back up that's why they have the case in court and the Seven judges resign because they refuse to drop a case a new was being dropped for political reasons not because he wasn't guilty and the fact that Trump had in writing that he could bring the charges back up there's only one thing that can mean if he doesn't go with the flow and be a good little soldier and doesn't do exactly what the orange buffoon tells them they can bring the charges back up that's never been done and is highly suspect that's called blackmail!\n\nBy the way a Democrats don't disagree with deportation and not letting illegal violent criminals into the country but we do disagree with separating women children and babies from their mothers and fathers and we do disagree with just deporting people that are brown black and Muslim many of them that aren't even violent now you can't tell me that it's the most racist deportation ever you name any Canadian any Australian or european that's being deported that's here illegally there's plenty of them I have plenty of friends that know people they work with that are Australian and Canadian and European that are illegally you don't see them getting deported I wonder why they're all white that's why!\n\nTrump wants to say he's only deporting violent criminal gang members more than half of the plane that he deported to a couple of different countries had plenty of people that weren't criminals or gang members and he even ended up deporting American soldiers and vets by mistake and they used a military carrying jet that cost $242,000 for every round trip 12 hours as opposed to what every other president uses a regular Boeing style jet that cost $102,000 for that round trip now you tell me that saving money that's called just showing off and guess who pays for that and he wants to do that every day oh that's a great way to save money?\nPlay you got Trump being harsher on Canadian Mexico than our enemies China and Russia oh that's right he's budding up and siding with Russia now over Ukraine telling the world Ukraine started the war? when Putin is obviously the aggressor and the war starter who even said on TV that he would have this war 3 months and no Russians would die! You now have this clown kissing his ass and spreading Russian propaganda that zielinski is a dictator Which is far from true because if it were true Trump would be actually kissing his ass like he does with every other dictator? I'm lying about he has a 4% of ratings Which is far from the truth he's got 54% rating zelensky which are higher than Trump's right now Trump's ratings are below that and they're going down fast!\nHe is crushing in the stock market he's crushing the economy and grocery prices are sky-high thanks to his tariff solution quote that he doesn't have a clue how they work

There are WAY too many Indians in Canada, and now they want to come to the USA. There are TOO many trying to come to the USA. TOO many. They never just come they swarm! Plus, they do not integrate they ONLY come to create little India?? No thanks. Look at brampton, Canada or Alperton, London. They are just racist,

The land in the region belongs to the Hebrews, that is true, but who are the Hebrews? It was promised by God to the descendants of Abraham and Sarah and philistinism is what we call Iran all the way to Anatolia, in fact it is more similar.\nHowever, just like David's victory over the leader of the Philistines Goliath, philistinism today the Palestinians received a new king and were grouped in the region and remain there to this day.\nA war is a war and can, without a doubt, bring traumatic experiences, especially when civilians feel helpless in the middle of a war...\n\nWe cannot blame the consequences of a war zone when the name itself represents a challenging situation, so the most important thing is to first remove all the civilians left behind so that the fight against terrorism can be completed.\nExtremely irresponsible and the real crime is leaving innocent people in the middle of a war zone to be killed? No, we don't do that and neither does the Arab world, we are all human. If war is necessary, a war to end terror, or surprise attacks on Abraham's descendants, or hatred of members of the Abrahamic family, that is what we will do. We do not want terrorist attacks against Philistinism, Jews, Arabs or Christians either and we do not want to support any affiliation that wants to destroy, harm or denigrate our Abrahamic people on this planet.\n\n\nInstead of trying to bring assistance in the midst of a fight against humanity and the safety of the Abrahamic communities, we should remove them all, the innocent civilians, before we look to the next step or phase of a war, so that the fight cannot harm innocent lives. left behind, so getting people out of a war zone is our duty and responsibility in a war zone and at this time civilians have no choice but to wait for a safe place outside the region of deadly combat so that the Arabs and combing with the Jews can destroy the terror against the Abrahamic people, so if the enemy is still alive, we can only accept mercy. After the elimination of hatred and violence against humanity that was the reason for the start of the war on October 7, 2023 and several calls for the evacuation of civilians before the start of the war, everything that happens or has happened or is happening in Gaza It is justified as being a consequence of a war. A war that didn't start for nothing or out of nowhere or for no reason and the Jews are still waiting to have their families back in October 2023\nmainly that Israel is a region that does not exactly represent what the House of Judah is at the moment, it is not a land for the Jews, but rather a land named after one of the sons of Isaac, but like any other country it is giving rights in the region so that they are children who are born there or immigrate to the region, but it is not necessary for them to be Abrahamic. The State of Israel is just one part of the land promised to the dynasty of Isaac, the creation of a State is a great start to remind us of the importance of remembering that God promised the descendants of Sarah and Abraham a land between two rivers. The boundaries of the Promised Land run from the River of Egypt (Nile) to the Euphrates, so it is more complex than we can understand, especially since the region was also inhabited by pagan nations hundreds of years after Abraham, as well as by Arabs and Jews It can be a complex subject to explain. Those who cannot accept the blessing that God gave to the Hebrews may be serving their faith with a spirituality that is not the faith of the Hebrews or the Abrahamic religion.\n\nThe region has been inhabited for hundreds of years, but\nCanaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites, but they are not the DNA of Abraham's descendants, they are ancient and came from the time of Noah. God promised that the land would be Abraham's land and his descendants would possess it. Knowing that it is complex to determine the timetable for the reestablishment of the real situation, first for what is the kingdom of Judah and we also want to preserve alive the state of Israel as the capital property of the Kingdom of Judah which lies between the Nile and the Euphrates.\n\nTherefore, the preservation of the Jews and the fight against discrimination and terrorism and surprise attacks on civilians are essential, especially since they host Abramham's DNA. The focus at this time is to protect the integrity of all Abrahamic people, which includes Arabs, Jews and Christians, and to not just stop but exterminate hatred against people and learn how to respect each other first.\n\nIt is essential that, after the mission of eliminating any possibility of discrimination or attacks against Arabs, Jews and Christians, we create a state country for the Palestinians who, since the loss of the battle of Goliath, have had to be under the House of David and our duty is to guarantee the integrity of their needs, their future and also the lineage of the barbarian warriors of the region and so all Palestinians across the planet will have to return and must return to the State and not for long will they be able to try a new colony in other regions of the planet, otherwise the punishment will be applied because they will have their own land and if they decide not to return or return they will never be able to return to the new Palestine which will be land donated for the formation of their own country, the individuals who choose to abandon the Palestinian homeland will have to abolish the word itself, they will not be able to be called Palestinians or identify themselves as such in any society other than their own. Otherwise, the new Palestine will have to embrace a new identity, culture and habits of a civilized world that refers to humans as human beings and cannot express hatred against others because of their genetic identity, or just because we have different opinions, That is why they must remain in their own territory, New Palestinian Land and not allow themselves to live in another land only in isolation in New Palestine. \n\n\nThe land of New Palestine will be a one-size-fits-all piece of land, not in multiple locations or in different locations. It will be a region that will have a wall of 4 meters around it. The wall will be built and the border and isolation border for the country and will give them the piece of independence they need and not let others tell them what to do and so they will be isolated from the rest of the planet because they deserve to own their barbarian identity of primitive warriors and protect their warrior genetic dignity and maintain their own values, common in the new Palestine, but they are no longer welcome in civilization outside their region, only if they decide to erase their historical connection with the concept Palestinian or identify as a Palestinian.\n\nI believe that Sir Faisal Bin Farhan Al Saud was sent to look after the needs of the family in Palestine and just fight for their integrity and safety and to preserve them together, safe and united in New Palestine, only thanks to Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah bin Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud and he must be the guardian of the descendants of the Hittites in the region, with the Arab world being the only community to associate and interact with.\n\nNew Palestine must be a land with its own unique sovereignty and whether the region is right, probably the entire West Bank and Gaza will no longer exist as an inhabitant community and will be transformed into a demilitarized zone that will be rebuilt as an industrial complex as an evacuation port for production for import and export of products that use the maritime route as well, however a percentage of all commercial transactions produced will be reallocated to a credit portfolio where all Plaestine will benefit and receive a monthly financial resource for the maritime activities that are taking place in Gaza and in the demilitarized region where there is no same region, you cannot live there, you just work. Until everything is in place, we need to protect the integrity of the human beings who were left behind in Gaza to face a tragic moment in a war against terror and seek to understand how difficult it can be for someone to leave their region and have to leave their homes to keep their lives alive, this also happened to many Jews in Europe during World War II. The most important thing to highlight is the crime of leaving innocent people in the middle of war, that is a war crime, the crime was leaving innocent people in the middle of war and leaving them there to die or to face a war zone, therefore, We must remove all civilians in that region to a safe place in the region, otherwise they will end up being victims of the war itself.\n\nThose who want to continue to face the war in Gaza will be responsible for their own lives and will not have the right to complain if they are willing to die or risk dying in the war in Gaza, the place that has been at war for over a year .\nIf a crime has to be investigated first, it is irresponsible action on the part of the local Palestinian administration to leave people vulnerable in the middle of a war zone and this is the biggest war crime. Therefore, we are looking forward to the returning of the hostages and the stop of chasing the Jews.\n\nThank you \nFaisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah bin Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud

Once again the media is shelling out the blame onto Canadians. The race card is coming out. \n I'm never against traditions. People being who they are. But when those 'traditions' involve or invoke a religious theme, no thanks. Not into that crap at all. I dont need it shoved in my face and waved in my streets either. \n If that is your need or way to live, go do it in your own country.

No more. Thanks to JT we have way too many TFW and immigrants. If anything we should follow suit and export our TFW! Like McDonalds and rich companies need them. What a joke.

As FRENCH, I think it is more an issue with policies set by both governments!!! You know you bring students IN and why don’t you build houses and encourage construction???? In France, many students (mainly Africa, and French departments like Guadeloupe, Tahiti or Martinique) come to study there (for free and we are proud of it!!!) BUT - unlike Canada - we do NOT have the same issues as Canada (our healthcare is NOT under pressure and our housing prices haven’t really increased that much as compared to Canada for example!!!) to me, the students are NOT to blame!!! It is the fault of the deciders (at different level) who have FAILED to set the right policies!!!! The schools are also to blame as some (not all) are so obsessed with making profits out of the higher international fees, which by way, subsidize Canadian students!!! So in Canada (not in France or Germany), the money that allows schools to function come from international students who BRING LOTS OF MONEY for the Canadian economy!!!! in France, it is different as the universities are FREE and are fully subsidized by the French government… but yes;) you have to speak French fluently to attend them!!! \nSo dear Canadians, do not blame foreign students thanks to whom your universities thrive and remain existant!!! Without them (namely the Indians too), the Canadian universities will struggle to find money and funding! Remember, the system in France is TOTALLY different!!!!\nAlso, reading from comments, I notice that many here have NEVER alert their own country!!! Stop blaming foreigners if YOU, YOURSELF DID NOT even get the BALLS to dare studying in places different than yours (like Germany, France, Sweden, Japan…)!!!! Blame and NO BALLS!!! “Grosse gueule mais Pas de couilles” as we say in France!!! Go to Europe if you dare, deal with another language, other cultural codes (we French are big complainers and are very very rude when behind wheels!!!! And we hate people who cannot speak French properly … like North Americans) and We will see how good some of you will do!!!

No one will ever rent to her again thanks to OpenRoom. She better hope they don’t make homelessness illegal and better hope CoreCivic doesn’t have their way with using homeless as free labour in their prison camps.

Thanks Alina for that fine video .Canada will always be home to you since your mom and dad are here and have friends here no matter where you live and i understand .I think the same way to .

No thanks to carpala aka Kamala I hope one of these illegals who she let in and basically bailed out of jail or already have a bad record find there way into her home when no ones there see how she feels then no harm to her innocent family intended so that’s why I said when no one’s there Kamala would probably invite them in for dinner and talk it over that’s how much of a loose cannon she is

Cherry on top are the income taxes. Cost of living is ridiculous expensive because not much is left in the bank after the government takes their part. I was able to build some wealth in Canada and left as soon I could. Being taxed 53% to live next to an injection site? Waiting MONTHS for healthcare? Not able to afford the expensive condos because the government took me half of my money? No thanks. \nLook at the US. Cost of living is still high these days but way more is left in your wallet. Canada doesn’t want anyone to build wealth. The system is really messed up. They want poor immigrants earning minimum wage in bad conditions.

Hopefully Pierre Poilievre will be the next prime minister, he's not too keen on this stuff. The time has come for the world to have tough, no-nonsense leaders. Things have gotten way out of hand everywhere. It's terrible that there are oppressed peoples, but sometimes people (thousands of miles away) have to try and take matters into their own hands in their homelands, or head somewhere closer to their borders. Not to mention that so many desperate young men coming here turn to crime immediately, join or form gangs, etc., thanks to our stupid leaders opening up the floodgates.

Thanks Trudeau, soon enough we will be able to walk across lake Ontario, just like the Ganges. First hand knowledge here, while enjoying a day at a park, a Hindu/Paki or whatever they were numbering about 50 having a picnic/family get together, age ranging from 1-80 with 20 or so full grown men. Despite their being a trash can every 20 metres, and numbering 47 total in the park, the family left the garbage all over the ground and tables and left. The mess, considering 50 ppl you can judge for yourself. Now in our world if I call the law on them I am a racist. The Canadian way is gone, new arrivals think that we should adapt to their ways, not the new arrivals adapting to ours. Canada was once a great nation, no more it costs your whole cheque just for rent, then you need to work another job if you want to eat.

Meat a ton of great americans, but the way to proud racists crapy ones make me sick and being the US have way more people means way more of them horrific types i just couldn't tolerate. Sorry to the majority that are descent people. But those horrific ones i speak of also cary guns so no thanks.

what a polite way of saying. umm no thanks

Toronto is doomed thanks to the woke Libtards and the NDP! Mind you the Conservatives did not helped the city either! When I moved to Toronto in 1966, there was no crime to speak of! You could leave your bike outside in front of any store nobody would steal it. Apartments were affordable, and even working on a min. wage job you could survive. After P.E. Trudeau was voted into the national government , everything started to go down in general, and this reflected in the city of Toronto too. In the past 20-25 years it is in a total downward spiral. TTC is now dangerous to use. The city government is anti-car, putting in stupid bike lanes everywhere, chocking traffic, cutting off parking, a four way stop signs on every corner of the streets, and the worst the Police do not enforce traffic violations. If I could afford it I would move from Toronto, but truly to where? Hamilton, Guelph, Kitchener, London, Windsor? Nah, not much cheaper... Perhaps another country? Sure Dubai, Switzerland sounds good if I would be a millionaire!

For years, I've been drawing comparisons between my life in Canada and that of my American friends. Having lived across three provinces—20 years in Ontario, another decade in Quebec (learning French along the way), and a decade in Vancouver—I adopted a modest lifestyle that saw my savings grow to £40k. However, unforeseen circumstances, like my father's passing, led to financial strain. Despite a good job with travel perks, I found myself yearning for a change. Learning about an Ancestry visa, thanks to a colleague, revealed my eligibility due to my grandparents' immigration from the UK to Canada post-war.\n\nAfter gathering paperwork, I took a leap: severance from my job, selling my condo, and relocating to London, England. Initially hesitant due to the GBP exchange rate, I was pleasantly surprised—my savings lasted three years in England. While my childhood dream was the USA, I found London surprisingly affordable. Though my income was a third of what I earned in Canada, in three years, I found a partner, bought a home within five years, and established a savings account for the first time.\n\nLife in London meant exploring the world, negligible worries about expenses, affordable living costs (from phone bills to dentistry), and accessible public transport. The quality of life, housing affordability, and healthcare in the UK surpassed my Canadian experiences. The lifestyle contrasts were stark—five weeks of paid leave versus minimal vacation time in Canada, affordable education, and fewer societal issues like homelessness or drug abuse.\n\nMy advice? Explore the Ancestry visa for a life-altering opportunity; it’s tied to grandparents' lineage and offers a path to citizenship. The UK's supply and demand dynamics, along with its lower taxes, provide a different economic landscape compared to Canada. And here, what you see on price tags is what you pay—no hidden fees. This shift has transformed my life, and the possibilities seem endless. Check out [the Ancestry visa](https://www.gov.uk/ancestry-visa) for more information!

Thanks Tyler, interesting topic & not surprised by the the responses. I’ve travelled to the states many times, vacation/work training/day trips & also my son lived in NC on a golf scholarship & you’re correct that it does depend on the area/place within the US but in the end I’m always relieved when I arrive back to Canada. I feel safe here! Our last trip was to California visiting San Francisco, Monterey & the coast, so beautiful & it was a great vacation. Just to mention the only way that we felt safer going there is because it’s a majority Democratic state. US can be nice to visit but there’s no place like home & Canada is the best for many reasons.

Been in Canada for approximately 25 years. I can say that the effect that Canada has on a legal immigrant is neither here nor there. If you can make lemonade out of any lemon you’re dealt, you will thrive in Canada (and anywhere else where your efforts are not overwhelmingly quashed by corruption, blatant racism or other forms of segregation). \n \nLynn, I was a lecturer in Kenya, went back to school here in Canada after wallowing in culture shock the first year, then circled back to teaching in college again after an arduous journey in school, but this time in a different field. \n \nAfter becoming a single mother of four kids, I had to also hustle on the side to build a small business empire along my life’s ladder. Partnership with God, goal clarity, the get-up-and-go, and relentlessness truly work. It isn’t the size of the dog but the fight in the dog that does it, regardless of where you live. \n \nThe starting point for a new immigrant can be very low due to the weather, unpreparedness and culture shock, but if you know that the only way is up, and are self-motivated, those challenges are soon behind you as the tests become testimonies. \n \nBy comparison people have more human rights here regardless of their status. The wheels of justice grind slow but they do grind fine. Women and children have equal rights with men. Politicians are mostly there to serve not necessarily to exploit. \n \nOpportunities for self-development galore - including being trained to become employable and going to school at any age (sometimes for free while you are still at the bottom of the ladder). There are food banks so you never go hungry if it came to that. The disabled are better treated with dignity. \n \nThere are prolonged parental leaves for both moms and dads for up to 18 months. Commensurate with earnings, parents under certain thresholds are given Canada child tax benefits and other supplements for each child under 18 years of age. \n \nDepending on the number of kids and their ages, the money can add up handsomely. Not to mention that there’s no tuition to pay for primary and high school students. Tuition fees start at post-secondary level. \n \nTo see a doctor is free as it is paid for by taxes. It the meds that you and/or your insurance pays for. Some medical equipments may be paid for by either or both the individual/insurance and the government depending on eligibility. \n \nBy and large, there’s cleanliness of common spaces. There’s also safety and relative peace. At least wherever I have lived, I can’t tell you how many times I forgot to lock my door with impunity. \n \nThere’s a lot more stressful work here in my opinion, but like you said Lynn, systems work a lot more efficiently and effectively. \n \nThe elephant in the room is the extra hard work that those living abroad must put in to fulfil expectations back home. Also known as black tax, the overwhelming financial dependency of relatives on their diasporan loved ones places undue stress on many here, especially because there are no short cuts to getting money here. \n \nAnyway, Lynn, thanks for such a great topical issue you’ve shared. I have to stop here as I have written a lot. Hope this helps someone on this forum. \n \nAnd last but not least, you’ll be proud to hear that even though Canada has been good to me, my face may now be turning towards home to see how I can be of use to mama Africa. Super excited!

Thanks Lynn. This is timely. The reality that is tangible is realized from the invisible. At any given time we should think critically and creatively inorder to choose to walk in the way, the truth and have the life. Anything else has no foundation and is the route to destruction. Has not this been the reality since the world was created?..However there is hope. How so? The creater lives and if we make right choices we will certainly survive. Is there anything new that hasn't happened ? .

Sadly everything you shared is pretty accurate. I got got followed to my work place by a stranger I met in the TTC streetcar. He proceeded with attempted to assault me in the building of my workplace. This left me traumatized for months, thank goodness I overcame my fear of riding the TTC. On the question of rent, it’s insane it actually may force some people to stay in bad situations just so they can maintain the living conditions they are accustomed to like staying in toxic relationships or terrible roommate situations…etc. I did get very lucky, moving in 2022 from living with a roommate to living on my own in a bachelor same area and really nice area in Mimico by the Lake for a rent of only $1400. Simply because my landlords are an old couple not greedy at all who prioritize having a good tenant over making extra cash but having to deal with different tenants every few months just because people cannot sustain the increase of living in Toronto plus paying their bills and rent. So there is hope, if you can find a landlord that has these values you won the lottery. I’m hoping things change for the better in Toronto, there’s no reason why the city cannot tackle all these issues in a more efficient way. But like sometimes I think of moving to a smaller city and if it weren’t for my current rent which is very low for the time we’re in, I would have moved to a cheaper province a long time ago. Thanks for posting your experience, wishing you all the best with where you decide to move to!

I was born in Toronto and have only lived here my entire life (Im in my mid 40s). The disaster here in Toronto over the past 8 years is thanks to Trudeau. Theres no way anyone can argue that.

Thanks for the very informative video. I just got back from a week in Vancouver and saw so many drug addicts and homeless people when I drove through East Vancouver on my way to Gastown. Years ago when I drove this same area, I didnt see this problem. What the heck happened? Is the U.S. rubbing off in Canada. Crime, drugs, homeless people, and criminals seem to have migrated from the U.S. to Canada. Anyway, I was contemplating buying a house in Coaquitlam and retiring there for 6 months out if every year. Now, my eyes are open to what it would really be like. Still better than the U.S., crime wise, but the prices are high. Gas equivalent was $7.50 PER gallon. Food was more. Walmart was more. Starting January 1, 2023 no foreigner can buy property in Canada for 2 years.

Health insurance in the states… declined because pre-existing condition. \n\nI’d move so many other places. Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Scotland, Britain, I’d even consider, Chile, Brazil and Mexico way before the USA. No thanks.

Over the years I've been to the US many times, most recently in 2014. I can tell you with 100% certainty that with the way things are now, I have no plans whatsoever to return. There are so many systemic issues, including gun ownership/violence being a self-fulfilling prophecy (everyone has guns, so I need a gun to protect myself, which means more guns in society, which means more people thinking they need guns to protect themselves, which means more guns), and that they've somehow allowed half the population's human rights to be violated (and fail to see that it's just the beginning of a slide down a very slippery slope). They tout that they have so much freedom, claim they have more freedom than anyone else in the world, but their freedoms are being taken away left and right from their federal government, all the way down to individuals who think that their personal rights and freedoms are paramount, even to the point of impinging on others' personal rights and freedoms. Add to that the obvious health care issues, the food quality, the environmental issues etc... No thanks.

No way...no thanks. Happy to be Canadian through and through.\nThe way thungs are going down there. We obviously have more freedom. ??

Not Canadian but... back in the 80s and 90s America seemed like the coolest place ever, cosmopolitan and progressive in a way the UK wasn't. Then I grew up. The Internet got invented. I got to talk to Americans, hear US news and politics that never made it to the UK. Then Trump and Qanon happened. Now there is no way in hell I'd want to live there. Bankruptcy inducing healthcare, religious fanatics everywhere and the risk of getting shot on the daily? No thanks.

ive Thanks, for Your Name is Near\n1For the choirmaster: To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Psalm of Asaph. A song. We give thanks to You, O God; we give thanks, for Your Name is near. The people declare Your wondrous works. 2“When I choose a time, I will judge fairly.…\n\nGod's Mercy\n…18“Do not call to mind the former things; pay no attention to the things of old. 19Behold, I am about to do something new; even now it is coming. Do you not see it? Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness and streams in the desert. 20The beasts of the field will honor Me, the jackals and the ostriches, because I provide water in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to My chosen people.…

Thanks The Fifth Estate! We need you guys here in the US! lol Anyway, it seems you Canadians follow the same bad patterns as the US, including doing this. This is not good. Not only that, in the end, there are no real winners. Only losers. Greed is never satisfied and is in constant need of feeding, needing of new victims. This applies to greedy schools in need of new bodies, to homeowners over charging for houses. Canada will end up with newly homeless that needs housing, to unpaid debt that is saddled upon taxpayers. And worse of all, the victims..who traveled all this way, only to end up with debt, and an unfortunate life lesson.

Canada is nice, until you speak out against the alphabet mafia. Vancouver was beautiful when I visited a couple years ago and now it's ruined thanks to fentanyl and thanks to useless politicians that refuse to clean the streets. Learn the hard way then. I live in the Bay in California and it's a mess thanks to libs dem policies where criminals have no real consequences for their actions. Water here is perfectly fine imo and I don't need a car to get good food

Canada is still the best country to lived and raised a family regardless of high taxes one can still put a way something for rainy day is one of those things and Canada help other country refuge's so maybe the taxes is part of the package I would never give away Canada for no where in this world you had to just make the best of life because we won't be around for ever give god thanks for that country

Question: Can I apply for a Truck Driver position with no prior expirience at all??? By the way Great Job!!!! Thanks for the content of the video. ???

if people were as calm and understanding as her on both sides, we prolly wudnt be waging wars and people could still visit Lahore frm Delhi and the other way around and speak all day about how similar they are\nhere's to a peaceful future, thanks brut for finding this clip out<3\n\nedit(tw: cursing): i'm getting hate for the comment saying that i am a ch***ya amongst other things about my lack of knowledge for saying 'we' wage wars when i clearly meant to direct that comment on humans collectively, for propagating war. \ni sincerely wish fr you to interpret things the right way and not piss off without not completely understanding what i meant. y'all can ask for what i meant before 'educating' me on my country's history. there are better ways to do these things\nand by the way, dont assume everyone commenting on an indian channel is indian. i might as well be an american taking a neutral stand here, tho i am not. i hope u get it.\n\nthanks to the 115 folx who support the comment tho:)\n\nedit 2:well if those who disagree read all my comments on the thread, u will understand what i truly meant. if there is no hatred between people on both sides, there wouldn't be war. be it hatred amongst normal citizens, be it hatred between govts. i am not pointing fingers here at all and i was being scrutinized for exactly that? idk folx but again i hope you all get me.

Thanks for making this video. After nearly 13 years as of Jan 1st 2022, I'll be leaving Canada on a one-way ticket; not to my country of origin, but further into new ventures.\n\nIt's been a slog to become a citizen and try and make life work here. It's a good place to be successful financially if you make sound choices, and then to live a fairly quiet, isolated life. If all you want is to live within your own ethnic community and have a better quality of life, it's a good place.\n\nUnfortunately, it's never had enough culture or meaning for me. Life feels pretty empty no matter how much money you make. The national identity being based around home-ownership feels extremely depressing to me.\n\nAnd you're both on point about the reserved, passive-aggressive nature of Canadians. I've become like that too now. It's pretty obvious that it costs us dearly; people are unable to be genuinely warm, to take risks and form real friendships. Everything feels surface-level because no one risks taking the steps that might even be a bit of intrusion into each other's lives that is the signal of the start of a close friendship. I'm sick of the surface relationships I've had here.\n\nAnd the wholesale import of U.S. narratives with complete ignorance of our own realities. Most Canadians think they live in the U.S. and seem unable to name a single important issue in their own province or country. I truly came to see the Canadians as a colonized people who refuse to truly admit that they are colonized behind a thin veneer of insecurity posing as a virtue-superiority complex.\n\nI sound harsh but it's the outpouring of someone who's fallen in and out of love with his country.\n\nI don't know what I will find on the other side, but it's going to be different and I honestly can't wait.

Just wondering if this is average/real Canadian or say way below average, rarely happens Canadian? Was planning to tour the maple country but if this happens then no thanks

Years of political correctness where faceless bastards with no purpose in life have empowered this radical shite... And now because they're in such high numbers the political ponces will prostitute the British way of life & values for their vote... The sharia shite has NO place on this island and those who are in support if it's values etc have NO place in a British society... There are clear examples elsewhere in the world against this ideology.. A lesson to be learnt.. I'd waste NO time in shipping their radicalized arse off this rock... NO human rights... a clear message.. either fit in or Fuck off.. The hatred within this group is evident.. A hypocrisy without parallel.. \nAnd thanks too all those bleeding hearts we now have a fucked up nation where rights are abused and the rightful are marginalised...
