I bet you that a lot of the homeless immigrants weren’t homeless in their own country. They keep hearing that the grass is greener here but it’s not necessarily the case for everyone.

Justin Trudeau’s popularity index has dropped for immigration and various other policies, but he is still a safer bet for Canada and for the world than right wing conservatives. If you get it, you get it ?

We need to name and shame him for harassing these women. I bet he wouldn't harass men the same way. Weak!

Limit set to 360k of students per year? EXCUSE ME? This is still a city almost the size of Halifax ... I bet these greasy university CEOs are screaming(cause they charge international students an arm and a leg). But that's not our problem. Just like we don't need to keep every Tim Hortons open ...

I bet over 90% of the immigrants will not make it here if they arrived in the past 5 years. Canada was great for immigrants 30 years ago.. shit even 10 years ago it was 10x better than now.

??? That’s rich, I bet the native First Nations and Inuit peoples thought the same!

I bet the people who are exploiting them are indians like themselves.

You guyz ruined this country. Not voting for liberals. I bet you guyz wont even win one seat in the next elections.

canada still has much going for her and i wouldn't bet against her.\n\ntoo often times, i find those talking trash about canada, are in truth also those who still have a backdoor exit plan for themselves to return to canada in case things go side ways for them abroad. it's actually both sad and pathetic in reality - someone who always thinks the pasture is greener on the other side but still does their best to keep a backdoor open just in case and return to something they've 'forsaken'. \n\nentitlement plus pure selfishness mentality in my opinion. fence sitters.\n\nalso many times, those who talk poorly about canada and leave her still return to her every year for a couple months - especially the ones with pr and or citizenship. can't give up those sweet sweet senior oas or gic later on in life or to escape to canada in case some geopolitical storm erupts in or nearby their 'homeland'.\n\nso for those who think poorly of the nation of which one grew up in, please don't talk trash about canada. she isn't perfect but she definitely doesn't deserve to be treated so poorly by ungratefulness.\n\ni think the only ones who are truly 'entitled' to talk trash about canada are the ones who either haven't stayed here long enough, are not citizens or pr holders and or those who literally no longer have any fall back plans to return to canada (ie: family, assets, housing etc) if things don't work out abroad and one is able to cry back home to mommy (canada). also those who don't make canadian wages but spend it remotely abroad are entitled to talk poorly of canada. don't take canadian money and than turn around and talk badly about the hand who is feeding you.\n\nwhat canada is facing today is also pretty much what most countries are facing all over the world (minus the drug epidemic). canada is doing better than most nations on this planet - pound for pound.\n\nthe drug epidemic is truly an uniquely north american tragedy in modern times.

Will they ever do strike or protest in india for not having almost any job or dor paying labour wages to engineers?\nI bet no. This shows canada is far better in democracy and human rights.

First of all, I wouldn't believe a thing this pathological liar says. Second, Trudeau and the WEF have intentionally caused this problem with out of control immigration. Thirdly, I'll bet that end the end of this year Canada will again see record immigration!

I agree with you. Canada is not like the place I used to know. Went to Edmonton recently....it was homeless people everywhere in downtown and Chinatown. My bet you are moving to Portugal.

I bet those kids in Kenya have different mothers

i bet they won't host white UK asylum seekers

Youre going to bet it all on YOU TUBE ?? - yep , youre Canadian - see ya after the COLLAPSE - maybe

Shiiiiiiid. I’m moving in with the tenant. Bet they move out then.

This guy is making too much money from us watching his videos to tell us crap we already know. If it weren’t for the migrant crisis he’d have nothing else to gripe about. Meanwhile, everyone watching his videos are contributing to his illegal Asian wife’s expenditures and so forth. This cash dude is a fear monger and getting rich off these dumb videos he pumps out every single day. I bet he laughs himself to the bank daily racking up YouTube checks on the account of feeding his viewers the same crap over and over.

Typical. I bet it was because of Covid and the laziest of our society took advantage. The ones who do this in my country today look exactly the same. Funny that.

Lived in the US for 4 years and bought 5 rental properties in my home country. Now I'm retired at the age of 34. It was the best decision I have ever made. I am now building a business and want to expand to Canada for my actual retirement. The US is great to work but when it's time to settle down I'd rather choose a slower country.\n\nBut tbh it can also be achieved in a good republican state in the US but I am assuming there will be a civil war there with all the woke ridiculous stuff happening there. Hopefully Trump gets elected and stop the WW3 Biden is aiming for.\n\nI also heard Canadian health care system is a big fat bubbly lie but at the same this is a field the US can't even win against a fifth world country.\n\nGuns? I love guns and support personal militarization fully. Private property and your personal protection is utmost important.\n\nAs a business owner I would never choose Canada because why would I even pay out of my pocket for a girl I don't even know or benefit from at all to give a birth in the first place? Is their kid going to work for me for a full year for free or what?\n\nSo in my perspective Canada is only good to settle down and if I were to build my life I would go for the US again without hesitation. It clearly wins in every aspect.\n\nActually you know what? F Canada, I'll probably move back to the US. Its my land, my private property and I don't accept no prince charles or trudea declaring random crap on it.\n\nBesides making friends in the US is easy AF. I bet in a lot of other countries it's not.\n\nYeah nah ?? all the way baby.

I'm amazed by the check list that goes on in people's minds. You can't predict the future and even your Soviet union stopped at 5 year plans. I left Canada on a whim in 1994. I never thought I couldn't come back if I wanted or needed to. My bet is you met a guy in Serbia (let's say) and want to be in a reasonable place where it's financially possible to build a home and start a family. Canada has seriously failed the 33 year old demographic, that's the truth, and doesn't deserve your gratitude. Any civilized country gives its young people opportunities, Canada was not unique in educating you and letting you believe that the future was promising

The future is uncertain, no matter where you live. People often expect their country to provide stability and resist change, but these are difficult promises to keep. Just look at Ukraine.\n\nCanada, too, may be failing its citizens in some ways. It doesn't seem to inspire a deep sense of patriotism or love for the country. Many are distracted by the allure of greener pastures, lured by promises and travel ads. There's little gratitude for those who sacrificed their lives a century ago or those who built the safe, secure nation we have today. Instead, they are often labeled as colonizers, with their statues torn down.\n\nPerhaps the concept of a nation is fading. But if you drift away, you may find yourself replaced, and no one’s going to say, “How dare you!”\n\nPopulations are becoming fluid, and countries are no longer rigid containers. Moving to a new place might not be as meaningful if the concept of nations dissolves.\n\nA nation is more than just borders; it’s an accounting system. Consider this: How long do you need to work in a country to earn a pension? In the USA, it’s 40 years. If you haven’t put in the time, you might be leaving money on the table. As a retiree, I say thanks!\n\nBut will you ever collect that pension? I am. I spent two years in the USA and returned. My parents had health problems—remember them? They didn’t work 40 years in the USA either. And those Canadian dollars don’t stretch far in the States. Tricky, eh!\n\nSometimes, countries struggle to manage pensions. The country might be too big, its borders too porous, its economy too fragile, and its people too ready to abandon it. Yet, Canada’s natural resources, like Ontario’s 20% of the world’s fresh water, guarantee its revenue. That will be gold soon enough, and you can bet the USA, the global superpower, will want a piece of it.\n\nThe immigrants coming to Canada are smart.

I bet she is moving to Australia.

*I bet you are moving to China.* \nps. To find your Canada, you can still find it in certain parts of Saskatchewan.

Ill bet your not happy about immigrants getting your tax money. They love it though.

Waaa waaa , waaa. I bet you voted for the Canada you have. FEEL NO SYMPATHY FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU

I'm betting that it's an Asian country .\n\nWhoever cracks the nut on hardcore drug and alcohol abuse and addiction will be able to write their own ticket .. Just low cost affordable housing won't cut it .\nYou can give a house to a junkie and that's not going fix their problems or their families .

Who's going to run a book here? My bet is that it's either going to be SEA - Malaysia - or SA - Brazil. I'm betting on Malaysia. Perhaps we will see you in SW WA? - summer's only a few months away.

I bet she is planning to move to China, or at least East Asia.

If you can move to the US, do so. While there is tension down here, it is by far the freest nation. Look at Europe, they're going down the fascist route, same with Australia, NZ. And Canada unfortunately is entering that realm whereby your rights are going to be extinguished. Even with a change of government, when you are beholden to an inbred, foreign crown, it gets harder and harder. South America is no different. Don't kid yourselves, places like Costa Rica sound like an idyllic place but there is crime, poverty, nasty insects. Moscow on the other hand is not bad, it's like the 1980s in the US there, sure the infrastructure is sub par and they do have crime but aside from the proxy war going on, it's an option if you are of Russian decent. Your best bet is still the US, if you can wait the years, pay all the fees, jump through all the hoops, unless of course you are an illegal, non-white and a potential Democrat voter.

Very surprised at the comments… shes leaving bc her buisness isnt successful online in a country that taxes them. Many countries dont tax businesses income in this way?? . Ppl here keep trying to call non jobs jobs. A fulltime or pt, all supporting financially, get to make my own hours and only work more when they decide. Etc. Its not actual reasons a professional business moves. They want an untraditional workspace AND they just put the canada social/culture changes in there to mention its what she appreciated about canada and now were just likeany other country except high taxes. Especially in the middle, 40,000- what? 100,000? I cant remember the top cut off. Where they stop taxing you so much. Its literally done to ALL CANADAIANS. Not youtube specific income and shed not qualify for cerb with it. She lied to the gov to live on welfare and not claim her ALL income from youtube. She didnt lose her job… bc of covid. Anyhoo, welfare is the same. Shes not going to get all her taxes back under 40,000/year. That means she isnt a successful job on youtube. Shes moving before she gains. She hit over 41,000 and got taxed. Shes complaining about THE SAME TAXES WE ALL PAY. That dont increase. Its the property taxes from owners that pay for public spaces etc. and social services. Youre cheering her on… for a low income buinsess that shouldnt be the reason to move. Its naive. Sorry commentors! I hope you change your minds… ppl also leave bc collections and credit checks dont follow you around the world. Its impossible. I bet for her taxes too…

I think she is gonna move to Mexico. Anyone wanna side bet?

A$5 bet that you’re moving to Singapore ?

Ok lets take bets. SE Asia? Thats where I would go or Uruguay. I would also love Greece but its getting expensive there too.

Anxious to hear what place you chose. I'll bet on Thailand or Indonesia (Bali) or Vietnam. Those are my choices anyway.

most place in the European part of Southern Europe is a fairly safe bet for you to live in. some areas of Italy such as Naples have a high crime wave but there are also a lot of safer areas in Europe such as parts of Portugal, a lot of the Greek Islands and some quieter parts of Italy. parts of the South of France are also nice but perhaps expensive.

governments are defined by the ultimate Authority in that government! America's government is controlled by law(the definition of a Republic) that applies equally to all citizens, in particular to the elected representatives, the US Constitution, Bill of Rights, and Declaration of Independence is the Supreme law in America that controls the government to protect the citizens! hence America is a Constitutional Republic! only lieing ass communist democrat and the dolts they fool conflate elections as a democracy? in a true democracy you have elections to pick your leaders, and your leaders have complete control of government! with no restraints! like Ping in the Socialist Consultive Democracy of China, and Putin in the Democratic Federation of Russia, ((they have elections and vote, bet you didn't know?), your inability to reason, and lack of curiosity to find out makes you half right at best, like your comment, and stupid when it's put in front of your face, but you refuse to check

The outlook is not bad. The problem is that the solution will NOT come from the hands of politicians, not even those who today use discontent to win votes. I bet ten years' salary that people like Poilievre will only do, as conservative governments do, cutting budgets immigrants´ aids , BUT HE WILL NOT GIVE UP CONTINUING TO ALLOW AND PROMOTE the indiscriminate arrival of these immigrants. Immigration is the big business that Canadian politicians and big businessmen have learned to exploit for their own benefit.

You guys are hilarious. Bet you’re happy to have almost free medical coverage. Your rite about the water it is good. As far as politics go Trudeau is boring, his father was not. He never got bullied by other world leaders he to them to get stuffed if he didn’t like they’re polices.

Im intrigued whats the difference between invasion and migration and i wonder if our Prime Minister Albanese knows \nThe British came here and i bet the aboriginal wished they'd committed genocide on the passengers of the Endeavour I imagine\nWhat do I know \nI know nothing ?

They became strict with the legal applicants with qualification. They prioritize those with no proper betting, that's why it destroyed the process. Atleast woth the legal, they can control the skilled applicants, and can see who and what skill Canada needed (no surplus).

I bet that reporter was from CNN. It still beats me how such a biased network is still in existence. The fact that it is speaks volumes about the shot callers of this world.

Wow, look at all the new voters. I bet they will be living better than most of us to with all the money our government is handing out. We can't even help our veterans. This a fucking disgrace.

I bet he’s got some great conversations

You bet if this were BlackRock as the landlord they'd be dragging them out

bro thought being a landlord is a money farm. the girl is in the wrong for sure but we need her side of the story to fully understand the situation. perhaps she's doing what my friend had to just to finally get the attention from the landlord to solve issues in the building. my friend had to go 8 months not paying his rent (keeping that money separately to please lawyers) just so a landlord would get in contact with him about his apartment ceiling caving in forcing the dudes family to live out of their living room. this landlord just wants to retire, i bet the building has major issues thats being ignored.

I hope this isn't one of the migrants let in , how disappointing . If the bank took the building back for lack of payment I bet they could get this person out right away . No wonder our system is failing !

My advise to landlords, do not rent to “such” people. Newcomers on work permits or student visas are a better bet because they will pay out of fear of losing their credit or status in Canada

This guy isn’t Canadian and we need to stop selling them for profit housing, we have no fair priced housing for Canadians but immigrants get mortgages funded by our crooked government so they can send the money out of the country. Stop this and watch rent rates fall u bet.

Honestly when i come across The Guardians headlines and stiries makes me wonder how theyre still in business, i bet even a 12 year old would write better articles that whatever whanabe journalists are working for the Guardians newspaper
