This could have been avoided.

They prefer avoiding potential issues, as they could have readily accommodated women and children as refugees.

And so do the Jews.\nTo avoid death dont attack the hand that feeds you.

Whenever i am traveling with family and whenever such type hostile situation. I keep max restraint. Otherwise my family will be in panic or avoid it. \nFamily is important. ?

These western journalists mask their agenda with tricky sentencing to avoid ousting their true intentions.\nThis man was very smart with his answer.

Toronto is a no go Shit Hole....Avoid avoid avoid !

What a pro, good work in avoiding the question

Indian students really should avoid Canada. Go to a country with higher thresholds. Or even better to stay in India.\n\nThe obsession of Punjabis to come to Canada is crazy.

International Students? They hardly understand and speak English. What are they studying? I guess these colleges have language interpreters for them in each class. They avoid eye contact and pretend to be mute to avoid any kind of conversation.

Canada has been avoiding the root cause of the fertility rate issue instead of fixing it. Canadians are replaced with immigrants. Immigrants are used as cogs in the system. The government always finds a way to make things worse with its shortsighted policies.

I wish Canadians spoke up 25 years ago like I did maybe this all could have been avoided. Glad to see many waking up finally!!

Everyone in the comments is avoiding the issue at hand: rich Gulf states could be doing more to help the\nPalestinians

You can tell the CBC is shifting tone to avoid defunding. \n\nNope.

I love how everyone call this guy a hero and all the other heartless politician that avoid answering hypocrites.\n\nEgypt will be judged for complicity in this affair. Nobody cares what Israel will do with gaza, there is thousands of people that just want to get out of there and nobody is letting them.\n\nNot even the arab world care about palestinian lives, why should Israel do even ? This is the most heartbreaking case of geopolitical hyprocrisy I have ever witnessed or even heard about since ww2

Toronto is as terrible as Vancouver or Montreal. It is a horrible city that decent people should avoid. And only Torontonians think Toronto is Hollywood North. Everyone else knows it’s Vancouver.\n\nTokyo however is an amazing city. It’s clean, fun, and has amazing people. Something you can’t say about Toronto.

I left Canada but I miss somethings about Canada.\nI miss the parties\nI miss how we use to entertain at home. People fight less, there more friendlier and less angry than Americans and the average person just has more material wise, there's far less homeless people compared to America.\nThe Canadian healthcare system is just basic care, my doctors already retired. \nThe system is overtaxed. The people are overworked..it became abusive.\nI can't go back even though I miss my community in Canada.\nMemories were built there. Children were born there but it's over for me. \nThey expected people to take care of them. The Canadian elderly generation I don't accept how they treated the younger generation.\nThey are abusers.\nIt's best to stick with your own kind to avoid abuse case.

Awesome, please keep spreading your message and completely avoid common wealth, and European countries.

the Tax system in Canada is FAIR:= EVERYONE MUST PAY TAX AT THE TIME OF RECEIVING HIS OR HER WEEKIY OR MONTHLY INCOME== THIS IS FAIR: AND THE MORE YOU HAVE MONEY EARNINGS ; THE MORE YOU MUST PAY TAX in order to lessen the Gab between classes of the community. And why a person must have 2 jobs?? it is just Greed!!! having two jobs means you deprive another person looking for a job!!! TAX SYSTEM IS FAIR: AND CHARGING THE TAX IN ADVANCE PER MOTH OF WEEK IS AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO HELP PUTTING AN END TO: (TAX EVASION AND TAX AVOIDANCE) !! TAX SYSTEM IS:=FAIR, YEAH!

Avoid Europe... please

This is sad but I think this is happening all over the western world I’d say. There’s an explosion in migrant population. In some ways it’s good as it helps fund the economies of the countries as they are typically comprised of aging populations. But on the other hand, a lack of planning and forethought has meant that already faltering housing situations have turned into full blown crises. It’s just such an avoidable tragedy playing out in front of our eyes.

I've lived in and around Toronto for a lot of my life and unfortunately I agree with you, but more particularly for the cost of living, which has truly become ridiculous.\n\nToronto has seen an uptick in crime in recent years, but it's still safe even by the standards of other Canadian cities, as Toronto generally has been. The crime is not in itself a reason to avoid Toronto.

Why couldn't he name Israel? He avoided it.

well, keep your heads down and avoid crowds. there are many people that think canada is one of the best countries in the world. if you dont like it feel free to go. you guys seem like nice people. however you will be told what to do in muslim countries as well, more than you will know.

If you’re doing Hijra for the sake of Islam and for your future generations, then you must come to Pakistan. \n\nWorldly life is tough here but Pakistan is the only country where you can live the life as per the principles of Islam, which is ultimately aim of every good Muslim. \n\nSaudi Arabia, UAE, Dubai etc have good worldly life but then you can not avoid Riba, system of interest and Mortgage etc in those countries. \n\nI see many people trying to leave Pakistan for financial strength but they do not consider the opportunities Pakistan provides for Muslim to lead their life as per basic principles of Islam. \n\nAllah knows best.

How can somebody talk for 14 minutes and be so completely, utterly clueless about the subject of her video???\nThe answer to all of her questions is in the subject she is carefully avoiding: politics.\nInsane levels of immigration without the needed level of housing, infrastructure and services.

People have to stop using rental prices in cities like Toronto and Vancouver. That's like Americans using rental costs in Bel-Air California or Manhattan as an example of what rent costs in America. It's not a realistic portrayal of rental costs. \nHere in Quebec the the annual tax rate is between 26.53% and 53.31%, depending on income. Then you have to consider all the socialist programs that you are forced to pay into, which also sucks up a significant amount on your weekly salary. After that, you must consider that you pay 15% sales tax on almost everything. It's safe to say that half of your yearly earnings, give or take, are taken in taxes and socialized programs. As for salaries, less than 20% of the Canadian population make a 6 figure salary. We're not talking about household income. I am talking about individual income. You're not going to become rich here in Canada! The majority of people who do become rich leave Canada to avoid taxation. Canadians live a life of debt. You will live just balancing your debt to make sure it doesn't get out of control Few Canadians have money in savings without debt. The ones who do have money saved, most of them have debts on top of their savings which is counterproductive in my opinion.

As a Canadian, born and raised, I am much more proud to be a Canadian than if I were to be a U.S. or U.K. citizen, given the way they are regarded in most of the word. I have travelled Europe extensively, Central America, as well as parts of SE Asia. \n\nCanada is indeed expensive and has become moreso because we too easily accept the rising prices, just so we can feel good being a Canadian. Tipping culture is ridiculous, even for bad service, many feel the need to tip 15% because of fear of being regarded as a cheapskate or avoiding offending the service provider. Companies should be paying their staff a better wage where 20%+ tips are not expected for every restaurant, cafe or delivery service. We're helping corporations make more profit by subsidizing their staffing expense. This isn't the case in most of the world. \n\nMy eyes were opened when I saw how you can live an equally good life at a third or less of the cost and I have grown open to the idea of living elsewhere once I have enough money to retire early (I'm talking around 55) and enjoy life without feeling cash-strapped. World class private medical care can be found for prices that are unbelievable and without the multiple appointments and wait times.\n\nI will always be a Canadian first, but there is room for a second citizenship or a backup plan should living in Canada become an impossible place to live or retire, unless you begin with a financial advantage. By no means am I poor, either. I got lucky with both real estate and stocks. Yet, I feel like I am working to just get by, while being taxed well beyond what I am getting in return.

So, distancing and desocialicing through spending even more time zombiefying oneself by cellular smart phone apps to avoid actual real human interaction...is good therapy ?

Canada right now is so FAKE, CORRUPT & EVIL! Avoid it at all costs!

I’m sorry you chose to move to this dump. When Canadians are leaving Canada, you _know_ things are bad and you should avoid coming here. Think about how many people want to leave, but can’t.

He avoided to answer the point of the question. Period. Whether diplomatic or not. \nPalestinians don’t want to leave and shouldn’t, idealistically talking. But the fact is that the same happened for any other group that has been displaced in f____g history from any place they used to live, including jewish people in that piece of land before it was Palestina.\n\nUkrainians, Syria, any of these conflicts in Africa…examples are abundant in the last 30-40 years not to talk about jewish in the 1930-40s. Or do we want to ignore that Arabs made deals with Adolph Hitler to continue exterminating jews???\n\nHe doesn’t want to answer because he is bot interested in receiving any Palestinian in his country, nor any other Arab country. They learned what happened to Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, etc. Even Egypt said they were willing to sacrifice millions to protect the border to avoid having Palestinian refugees…

He avoided the question completely. I guess he is hiding the answer as it will not be a good one. \n\nThere are women and children in the war zone. They should live to not be killed. And he is simply saying some sort of ignorant crap like war zone can disappear, and its their land (so they should just stay and die there). A bit stupid, dont you think?

Cost of living is insane in Europe in uk in Australia too I hate cold weather rains and winter wind , your point is Canada is not a Muslim friendly country, Canada is a democratic and Christian country it’s not a islamic country . It’s good decision for true Muslims to avoid living in a none Muslims country to avoid cultural conflict.

I'm so sorry to hear what you guys went through. I always thought Canada was the best when it came to nice people but I was wrong. \nAs for country options, definitely check out China, it is such a beautiful and peaceful country. You will deal with little to no racism there. \nCountries to avoid: America ?

Idiotic comments from both. If he knew anything of history, the reason the arab world doesn't take in refugees is either because it's political advantageous not to do so (as this Saudi delegate so eloquently displays, deflecting blame back onto Israel by proposing an unrealistic long-term solution and avoiding admitting that his country should help shelter Palestinians even in the short term) and also that in the countries that DID take refugees, the Palestinian government started coups in their countries. Remember Black September.

What if an immigrant avoids expensive areas like downtown toronto or vancouver, is it still worth it in terms of housing?

That's not how Canadian major cities look like. Their are tent camps everywhere, and people asking for money everywhere. Avoiding areas, and people going up to your asking for money while driving in not a quality life.

If only they elected a non-terrorist group that incites violence to run their land and could've avoided the whole thing...

Great decision. I recommend Malaysia then Indonesia then Pakistan - in this order for a more peaceful Islamic life for your family. Avoid the Arabian Gulf States.

Thanks for your video ! \n\nAs a born and raised french canadian, ( bilingual ) I am fortunate to live north... I mean in Canada there is less racism... even if it is not perfect.\n\n People believe that god has nothing to do with politics. The only influence God currently has in Canada is that we are all equal.\n\n The waiting time is longer for health care.... but Caliss is free and what's more, our doctors are part of a professional order. This avoids further drugging people with opioids...\n\nPolitically speaking, I am more left-wing, even if I advocate certain values ​​of the political right.\n\nThe tea party, the NRA and Trump supporters, however, are truly ignorants.

He avoided the question. The fact is, Arab countries condemn Israel but refuse to take any refugees because, A. It's not in their culture to be humanitarian, and B. They don't want radical Islamists in their country. Yet they're happy for Western countries to take them which says it all.

I would personally avoid the USA or most of the Western world ,and choose a Muslim country ,as I feel the West is becoming less tolerant towards Muslims and their way of life.

As a Muslim living in Canada, I am looking forward to leaving for more reasons than one. ?? I try to avoid being too negative about it while I’m still living here but I am tryna save the money to hopefully move to a healthier environment.

I would avoid any western countries (North America, Europe, Australia), they’re all going a similar way and you’d be trading problems for a similar set of problems. You’d need to move to a Muslim country where your values align

I would move just for the mental well-being of my kids and avoid lgbt+ issues.

Rampant fraud and crime that goes on unabated because the cops turn a blind eye. Cops are part of the problem up there. Avoid it.

An American politician would have tried to avoid the question.

My family moved 22 years ago from Mumbai to Toronto…while the struggles said on your channel are real, there are also perks which I feel like you didn’t get to experience. If people have good jobs, stable family life then DON’T move…culture shock is huge that people moving from India don’t consider, just by wearing and eating western food doesn’t make you western! \nThere are sacrifices to be expected which you don’t realized as your great grandparents or grandparents might have made when they started out! \nMoving to another country is never easy, unless you’re loaded with $$$. People in India are lazy as they have people working for them and don’t realize how difficult it is living outside of that lifestyle (not everyone in India can afford housekeepers, cleaners). Being independent and doing things on your own has its own positive (just need to figure it out). \n\nI have worked in healthcare for 16 years and let me tell you…social system works better as everyone gets the health service without being judged about $$. Healthcare is based on priority around the world but people don’t understand this as they feel like their problem should be attended first no matter what! \nNot all drugs are legal in Canada, marijuana is legal though with acceptable limits…you probably were misinformed about drugs! Teach your kids about right /wrong when it comes to drugs, smoking, alcohol and that’s the best you can do! I know people who live in India and do all that which you mentioned you were worried about for your kids. \n\nWhat you experienced was a classic case of culture shock and your expectations didn’t match the reality! Moving away from family, changing lifestyle and being responsible adult (doing things on your own rather than relying on workers) is difficult but doesn’t make the country bad that have you an opportunity to settle! Don’t take things for granted even while you live in India…appreciate the effort that goes into everything- keeping roads clean, people working hard, etc. \n\nBest advice I can give to those considering moving to any foreign country is: Keep an open mind, be ready to work hard and visit the country you want to move to before you make the grave decision of uprooting everything! Things usually turn around and get better after 5 years mark- focus on upgrading your education if you have a basic degree from India (even you know how competitive things are in India, so how can western world not be!)\n\nBeing vegetarian- things are tough when it comes to food but living in Toronto has never been an issue. Even people living in India avoid outside food due to hygiene reason which is not a problem in Canada as food inspection is pretty strict (having worked with ministry of health). \nCities like Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, etc has variety of food options (including veg)…just have to be really open to trying other cultural food (Asian, Mediterranean, Italian,Mexican, etc). My parents are strict vegetarians and have never truly struggled when they are out. \n\nCost of living is definitely higher as the standard living is higher compared to India. Education (until grade 12) and healthcare are free (in reality, you pay tax for it), you get pension when you retire (based on your contributions and type of jobs you had)…you failed to navigate the system and I will say having family around is why you didn’t take opportunity to explore and learn on your own. \n\nPlease don’t come to Canada and make life difficult for other Indians who choose to willingly accept the culture and lifestyle here after going through this hardship- cost of living and housing has gone up dramatically in major cities because of immigration influx! If you’re serious about moving and putting up, only then move! Otherwise all the best for your future endeavours!

Indians like myself have opted out of working at Canada because \n1) It is costly to live here\n2) Canada harbours and provides safe haven to Pakistani and Khalistani terrorists that are a threat to Indians, specially Hindus living there. Their presence is a net negative for any society that wants to live peacefully (Not just for Indians/Hindus). \n3) Healthcare, house help services,real estate are really easy to avail in India. So you're at peace even with lesser pay and can focus your time on doing other things or simply relax.\n\nOne of the kids from our family this year avoided going to Canada for his masters only due to these reasons. Especially the second reason.

Saudis are spending hundreds of billions to build futuristic cities. They could easily agree to relocate Palestinians who are facing Genocide, let alone accept SOME refugees. I guess they are content with potential genocide ... history is FULL of peoples who relocated to avoid their demise. He's no student of history
