An Indian who speaks English and has 3 family members, believe me, they didnt escape extreme poverty, also they paid a lot as well. I am an Indian so I know how things work. A lot of them just have a false view about the western countries, that these countries are oh so great and they will live better there. But every place is only better for the ppl who deserve to be there.

Govt should built atleast one bedroom bathroom apartments for homeless ppl and abolish your stupid monarchy the amount y pay to governor general can be saved that way

It’s crazy. I know so many ppl who have moved to Canada from abroad and left because they realize they’ve been lied to about the opportunities here. Yet, people still spill into Canada maybe they see a mark country?

I don’t disagree with any of this. But have we forgotten whatever happens to our neighbours down south ultimately ends up affecting Canada. America isn’t any better. We complain yet it doesn’t stop ppl from moving to Vancouver, Toronto, NYC, LA etc..

I'll never rent to those kinds to ppl. Discrimination, racism.. whatever you canadians call it.... it's a cultural thing.

Don't rent to those ppl..... ppl who rent are poor.

Read the document from the UN. The Great Replacement. Yes it's real. And driving good ppl it is the whole point. The way to fight back is to stay and vote for a conservative party.

02:30 showing this footage from Poland is not right for this context. 11th of November is Independence Day and it's absolutely normal to go with flags and singing anthems, and that's what those ppl are doing in the video. Just explaining, not defending or trying to hide anything.

Real question here is: why there are so many ppl traveling + posting on YT, and thinking it's a real job ?\nThey don't offer any meaningful product to society, why do they expect to make a living this way ?

It is very hard to point out all the negatives about Canada (at this time) without getting into politics, but I am looking forward to your video.\n\nCanada has changed over the last 10 years that it is unrecognizable. While many countries have changed due to global factors, many changes in Canada can be traced back to the policy issues and politics (all levels of gov but especially federal gov). That includes: 1) mass immigration (at a time when we have a housing crisis and most of ppl living here cannot afford a place (to buy or rent)), 2) crime - this is directly related to changes introduced by the federal liberals, 3) drugs - federal liberals again, 4) housing crisis - all levels of gov - most of people in Canada cannot afford a place to buy or rent - what kind of country are we???, 5) economy (GDP/capita has been decreasing for 2 yrs now, investment per worker has been stagnant or decreasing, productivity) - our economy is real estate, education and public sector, 6) deficit/fiscal irresponsibility - all levels of gov but federal liberals are exceptionally good at this. We are a mess.

is the federal government's fault. uncontrolled immigration. Letting ppl in that will not adapt to the way of life in Canada. Letting ppl in that will not adapt nor embrace Canada's values, then they try to impose their beliefs on Canadians.

Hates creates hate and he is no better although regardless of where ppl come from if you live in a country that does not align with your beliefs then best to leave However,rascism and hatred only creates issues

We live in a 20,000 sq ft mansion with only three bedrooms and one bath. You're only allowed to sleep in the bedrooms. There are now 20 ppl living in that house. Next year, 21 ppl...

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…

Ppl have to realize that things are getting worse not only in Canada but also in pretty much everywhere .. it's a worldwide tendency.

So a few things about this issue (in my opinion) \n\nMost of the nuisance you see ppl doing - we collectively dislike it (we being Canadians who have roots in India) \n\nSkin colour brown white or anything doesn’t matter to most. I think ppl who talk skin colour needs wisdom /education and it’s laughable who keep bringing words like brown black white for ppl.\n\n\nSecond students are majority of the demographics who create the non sensical acts \nMajority of them are teens or early 20’s \n\nNot the PR / citizens / ppl with work permits as we all r busy working and making this country better collectively \n\n\nBeing from India - we feel the world (not just canada India but the planet is like 1 big family and we all got to care for it while perusing individual dreams as well)

Smart ppl don’t want a hopeless and boring life.

Classic. Just as I expected: not a SINGLE word about the fact that Germans themselves are leaving the country in droves. Why? Precisely because of the reasons mentioned at the end of the report, plus the number of people leaving for greener pastures more than doubled after 2015. Look up the BKA statistics if it hasn't dawned on you yet. Poland and Czechia are MUCH safer now than Germany. \n\nThe other thing that should have been mentioned are those tens of thousands of young Germans who don't aspire to learn a trade or get higher education. They aspire to nothing. I believe it's some 60K people yearly. That's a lot.\n\nAnd finally, despite all that massive influx of people since 2015, how come there is still a lack of workers? I'm genuinely interested in the employment rate among ppl who arrived in the 2015 wave and onwards. Even though German politicians of the currently ruling parties would never admit that the generous social benefits are a great pull factor for immigration, it's not hard to conceive, this is everday reality. \n\nIn conclusion, one could say that Germany is deterring the capable and attracting the incapable. Isn't this a sign of self-loathing and suicidal society?

can white immigrant who came to native ppl land without visa go back to britain

and in china, there are more houses than ppl, hows capitalism working out so far

I moved to Canada 10 years ago and honestly, I was wondering a few days ago why Canada keeps letting new immigrants in when ppl can’t afford housing, they can’t find a job and it’s even getting worse.

I'm a Canadian & this is crazy, I pay 859$ month plus hydro and internet it runs me 1000-1075 max\nI have million dollar view looking at Canadian Rockie mountains and Purcell mountain ranges, \nThere. Is 60000 ppl iny city & greater area around it so how am I paying lower for better views & better place?!?\nGuess BC ain't bring cash anymore \nAlso you don't pay first and last anywhere but Ontario

ppl had enough

The process is flawed. Tenants who can’t pay should be evicted immediately and taken to court for arrears. There is no shortage of rental accommodation, affordability is the issue. These ppl are hijacking the owners. And the system supports it. Free for all. Renting your place is a dangerous game if you can only tolerate the risks. Sorry for the owners or should I say losers.

Canada belongs to First Nations ppl

Most ppl in the comments section were complaining about immigration. What they don't know is that there's a weak demand for investment in a country where companies expect a falling population of customers. If birth rates continue to fall down then the government will have no choice but to lure immigrants to boost population. It would be worse without immigrants as living standards would stagnate as the population gradually vanishes.

These politicians go on n on about democracy this,democracy that. Who in the west voted for this ? It’s about time ppl start talking about this. This conversation should of happened many years ago !

Always the same ppl

Ok yea NGL this kinda true. At first I was under the impression this was the exact same thing as the England bs protests. But the Canada issue makes a lot of sense. Like bro I work in downtown and literally as soon as night fall comes u see dozens and dozens of homeless ppl. Then ppl like us live in a 3 bedroom apartment out of downtown and it's like nearly 2k rent a month. That's brutal

This gotta be a joke. Not one statistic to base anything said in this video. A quick google search reveals the housing crisis is made by canadians themselves bc of laws allowing ppl to own many properties to flip. I wonder what else guardian is reporting as facts

It’s almost like our government has flooded our country with too many ppl from one specific country………….

The government needs to tax the rich so money can be given back to the people. This is what ppl should be fighting for - economic equality. Instead ppl are too scared and instead punch down ? how pathetic

Increased rents are mostly due to high interest rates, not $6/hr Uber drivers. They cant even afford to stay at $3000/mo apartment. High interest rates = less property sales = higher demand for rentals = increase cost of goods to make up higher rentals. They should thank the homeless ppl to drive down the property values near encampments

Let all these ppl in...they deserve to get welfare, food stamps, free medical care, housing, social security, etc!!!!.....if you disagree then you're a racist!!!!?????

You consider everything except one thing: not all immigrants are soft kind oppressed ppl who are a delight to live next to. Why not?

When u reg everything every company to go green n cut off ur own natural resources on top of bringing millions of ppl in prices rice wages drop its the first thing u learn on day one of economics

Cost of living as soared all over the world not only Canada.get off your butts and stop being lazy instead of blaming immigrants and immigration.i see all these so called first world nations pushing this narrative when the ppl are just lazy.immigrants do all the hard work the so called citizens don't.

In india nepalese bangladeshi and ppl from many other nations are entering

Good for her. Made my day seeing this because you’re renting a place that’s no more than 12 hundred a month and changing ppl a ridiculous amount for a shoebox. ????? keep up the great work girl,you got them right where you need them. Love it

Gotta take accountability, if this is a possibility that you can’t afford this ain’t a lane to be in to begin with. Ain’t no one care that was your pension and that’s what a lot of ppl don’t realize everyone’s is out here trying to get over on the next one

The 2nd biggest country in world with 40 million people complaining they are getting too many ppl??? \n\nNo! You guys are being eaten by the rich and they use immigrants as human shields and as an excuse to keep exploiting everyone while their property value keeps growing every year and they pay less in wages.\n\nYou can blame immigrants all you want but the problem won’t be solved until you guys stop corporations from governing and stop trickle down economic policies that only benefit the top 1%

THIS IS SOOO REAL AND CRAZY AT THE SAME TIME! N THEY HAVE NO SHAME TO PUT THEIR FACE ON CAMERA LIKE ITS THEIR RIGHT TO SQUAT AT PPL'S HOUSES.

Easy answer: we have housing- we dont have AFFORDABLE housing... blaming the housing crisis on migrants instead of taking responsibility for their failures as politicians who have not kept up on infrastructure and then baiting us against each other so we dont blame the actual problem. Banks raise the cost of mortgages, which in turn raises rentals. This is not the fault of ppl who have had no say in our systems as they just got here, they didnt choose when they're approved to come n work n live in Canada.

And yet you tube shows ppl wanting this by voting for harris

Its because this administration has given away to much of our money to ppl who have broken the law and illegally entered. This has to stop. We can barely take care of our own let alone 10s of millions of illegal immigrants who aren't comint here to work or pay taxes

They passed through a country that by that countrys own accounts have a great booming economy and is a great to place to live(according to mexican government). No im jot so sure they are actually Venezuelans im sure they are mexican using the sob story of venezuela to gain free entry. They also go through puerto rico and by papers from PR and come here under false citizenship status (purchased from ppl in PR) and speak a different spanish all together from us but claim to be puerto rican and displaying mexican traditions at the same time

Rise up Canadian take back ur nation &culture ✊??? ur politicians has failed u n sacrifice ur own ppl?

You mean there is no parks there where kids go to play and ppl to walk in the evening

I've been trying to get gov assistance for months... the exact walmart order I used to get for the week now cost 300 more and they will not give me any assistance... while these ppl get the assistance housing without doing a damn thing

Dont know if ppl are seeing this but when the democrats in America open the borders thats when immigration started to explode in Canada and Europe the ppl are fed up with it
