The US has more employment opportunities NOT because of population size. It has more opportunities because of industrial diversification. Canada is very much a natural resource centered economy, rather than being more vertically integrated. Take a look at the 10 richest Canadian families to get an appreciation of that. Couple this natural resource dependence with Trudeau’s attack on the petroleum industry, and you can see why jobs are drying up.

arabs say one thing but doing another thing ie why is saudi, uae & bahrain helping usa & uk on attacking yemen while yemen is trying its best to stop the genocide in palestine by ceasing any ship going to israel with weapon cargos!!!

I have been in Toronto since 1990 - used to love it but now... we're bankrupt as a City due to all the immigrants and homeless migrating here - thanks to our Federal Gov't not doing their jobs. I am disabled and was attacked 4 times on the TTC last year. Really hating what this city has devolved into. But where to live? Moving back to the UK is not an option as it is much the same there. Vancouver again? Not much cheaper but at least there you have more opportunities to get away from people.

Meanwhile hes taking meetings with usa an watching them attack close to his border with yemen. Smaller arab countries are taking a stand while saudi a super power sits an watches

Perhaps the Arab world needs to remove a weight that they apply, and have been applying for decades. The Palestinians had full control of Gaza but Hamas decided to spend foreign aid preparing to attack Israel.

Well maybe Hamas and the Palestinian people should live in peace and stop attacking Israel. And this war is not about the land or colonialism. They have refused every offer sense 1948.

Well the isralies have the same rights and if attacked they have full rights to defend and eliminate the threat . Just as any other countries we all have the same rights .

Do you condemn October 7th terrorists attack?

I grew up in rural Ontario and experienced extreme racial violence since childhood. I moved to Toronto at 19 to attend university and have been here for 15 years. I still enjoy the outdoors, but have continued to experience racial attacks when I visit small towns across Ontario. So while the cost of living here is outrageous, sadly, Toronto is the ONLY place I have not been called an N-WORD!! ?

Let the palestinians live in gaza then and stop attacking innocent civilians in israel. Its that simple

If they want to live in their land \nWhy can’t they want to live without first attacking

Then the Palestinians better stop attacking Israelis....

So no, they dont want any refugees. That is the job of Europe, as always… they dont give af. Palestine was for the second half of the 20 th century just a tool for them to attack Israel.

You do know that the Reported hijab attack on 11-year-old girl hijab cutting 'did not happen, right? \nYou are spot on with the drag time story hour and the drug epidemic.

So sorry to hear that you are being attacked for wearing a hijab. Hijab should be a perfectly acceptable clothing. I admire you for moving to a muslim country to live within your own moral ststem instead of wanting to change the culture of a christian country. Good luck to you guys.

Why should the Arab world encourage the Palestinians to leave their homeland and give in to the demands of the oppressive attacks from Israel? How can you even word it as such and act as if it’s a genuine question of concern?

The only point about its a non muslims country… well duh? You guys should’ve know this before moving in? Are we going to dubai complaining its not a Christian country!? What attack on muslims? I need at least 10 links for a news articles talking about this…. But for the rest NO our gov is not pro genocide anywhere, they just have no weight in the war balance, also a big thing people need to consider before moving here is the fact that we are Usa allies. Its a non written rules to follow what they do since forever. I don’t understand people like you honestly, but hey if you feel like you dont belong it’s probably the case then, we tried to welcome people as much as we can but the opposite integration move has to come from the newcomer too. By all mean i hope a lot of people who dont want to blend in in a welcoming country as we are, are thinking like you. we opened our doors, you hated it here. Then wishing you a muslim life somewhere else.

If someone was attacking your house, you wouldn't opt to move in with a neighbor

I think all muslims should leave to muslim lands. I dont feel like the future for muslims in the west is bright. Also I dont wanna pay taxes to a country that comtinueously attacks my people. And to make it easier to practice Islam amd be on your deem a muslim country has every advantage.

Respecting people's rights to choose what they believe and practice - but saddened that so many people\nfollow religions and do not truly research the symbolism, the history, the connections - no one should \nbe attacked for wearing a head covering etc - at the same time Muslims, like many other religious\ngroups just follow what the leaders say - and - if they truly researched they would find out that \nfollowing men and clerics is not wise and not even what our Creator wants for us.\n\nI was raised in a large world wide accessible religion - then, when I saw and heard things that\ndid not add up - I prayed for truth and then pro-actively researched - I compared the teachings\nof that religion from materials with in and from out with - and drew my conclusions - I also\nbeleive that I was led to find some very useful information not of myself - I learned enough\nto make an informed decision to leave that religion. My journey after that has not been an\neasy one as there is a lot of conflicting information and factions in this world - but over time\nmy original decision has been re-enforced by facts - I also came across the origins of Islam\nand who controls it - and that would be a surprise to many - and likewise would surprise\nother people in other religions ( including the popular New Age / Eastern Mystic religions)\nare all run by the same group world wide - and The New Age / Eastern Mysticism have\nbeen marketed as some kind of non religious freedom - but are, in fact religions with\ndogmas and leaders.\n\nThe Truth has set me free - I continue to study and to have faith alone in our Creator alone\nand I try to continue to learn what I can about the world and about spiritual things - to aid\nmy understanding and discernment. May more people seek truth for themselves, stop\nblindly following men and traditions and actively study and research from a rounded\nperspective. Best Wishes.

Dont attack Israel

Well attack against Christians,Jews,and Catholics are also under attack,mostly by Muslims starting the attacks,after the Muslims start the hate crimes,the hate is aimed back at them.

Tell Israel that the Palestinians' want their stolen land by an agreement to give half of Israel back to them. Then agree to live as neighbors 'Ceasefire' daily to arrange by '25. Stop attacking my Middle Eastern Muslims, Christians & Jews that have converted to be our Muslims.

excuses is all that was lol... Palestines could of had their land if they didnt encourage hamas to do terriost attacks and provide funs and weapons to them, and people :o

Palestinian has right,so are the Jew. When Hamas attacked Israel, not even one soldier was in Gaza. So what freedom are they talking about? He also forget to mention that Palestinian has obligation to keep peace and not keep attacking the Jew. After attacking and taking hostages what do you expect the Israelis will do?

The real answer is that Palestinians cause trouble wherever they go. Just ask Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait and Lebanon. 1.5 billion Muslims in 40 countries. Let Israel have its small portion of land. Stop supporting Hamas attacks.

Did people like him forget who attacked whom? Nobody went into Gaza and attacked them, they went out of their way to attack their neighbours.\n\nAnd yes, Arab countries don't take Muslim refugees. Some of the richest countries in the world don't care about their own.

What is occurring in gaza was a highly predictable response to being attacked, yet the palestinians CHOSE to do it anyway knowing the consequences. Rather disingenuous to start a war, then demand its conclusion after your attack, wouldn't you agree? We all feel sorry for the children who mistakenly placed their trust in their parents to keep them safe.

I had 2 men on go to Toronto try and steal my bag ,off duty officer from uk said he saw it I moved so fast he didn’t get my bag and police officer tried to grab him white guy and black guy 29’s working together ,sit in handicap section safer ,I’m born in Toronto ,it’s the worst mess ever ,nothing like home ,Canadians born in Canada are just staying home ,look at union station dec 31 ,we were all scared \nWho are all these. Men ?\nWhat have we done crime is high I’m 70 getting picked in on a transit train at 2 om ,well I carry tasers now ,crime is out of control ,I know ,no where have I been more attacked since 10 yrs old ,all by immigrants strangely enough but union shows how many. Non men we had there mean men crowding and fighting ,well enough is enough ,we can’t even afford a place to live now. Because 65 per cent investors own all our housing ,you can have it ,I’m leaving

No, 'The Palestinians' were promised land along with the rest of the Arabs of the area and that is what the Saud family and other Arab cartels have stolen. Faisal was promised Transjordan and that is the home of these people. Faisal agreed that Jews could live in Palestine and it wasn't until they were attacked by Islamic militants that there was any problem. Now the other Arab nations have a responsibility to give a home to those Arabs who are in trouble in Palestine. Also, most Palestinians are descended from Arab colonists who arrived after the fall of the Ottoman Empire so they are doubly entitled to reside in those other Arab nations.

They don’t have the right to safety on their land if they can’t keep peace. You can’t keep attacking over and over and then cry uncle when you’re hit back.

Last year Putin attacked Ukraine. We - Ukrainian neighbors - did not say, it should not happen, there should not be any refugees.\nWe welcomed them on the borders with hot food and a nonstop private transport.\n27 millions of Ukrainians had to leave their homes !!!!

60% of the Palestinians voted to allow Hamas to manage their area. The Palestinians don't have the right to approve the attacks on Israel. Really stupid!

You are doing what you think best for your family. May your endeavors be blessed.\n\nWe are also disgusted with how our government in the USA has treated the continued attacks on Gaza. It's one of many reasons we are slowly preparing to possibly leave. While I would like to stay and fight for the soul of my country it is becoming too dangerous for part of my family. Since we are not part of the faithful my husband currently favors the idea of Ireland.

Why should other countries be responsible for citizens who voted for Hamas. There was celebrations around the world by Palestinians, for the disgraceful attacks on the Jewish population in Israel. They want sympathy and understanding from the world, but I shall never forget their chants and behaviours, even before Israel retaliated. Countries who have taken these people in, have altered the fabric of their societies. You can try all you want in the UK, but our citizens will vote out Sunak the spineless fingers crossed they get rid of Sadiq Khan who is the racist major of London. It’s called a democracy. We may have to wait for Labour to run its election course, but Reform UK is the party who puts its citizens before those who abuse the migration process and those who chant against countries that have been good enough and have taken them in. There will be a time, in the future when racism gets called out, tougher legislation comes into effect. You have no value, then you will have to leave, by law of the land, not the law of your religion.

No but the innocent woman and children were running to borders to flee the war, can't they help temporarily? Many countries around the world has taken in refugees when in dire situation. Are you saying that these countries should not have taken any refugees? \nCome on, Saudis are scared of them because:\nThey were accepted by Jordan, where they tried to assassinate the King and take over the country, teamed up with Syria and triggered a full-scale war.\n\nIn Egypt, they fomented terror attacks. Egypt classifies Hamas as a terror group and closed the border long ago. Their defences against Gazan incursion look like the Berlin wall.\nWhat the Arab world should do is work with the Palestinian people and not Hamas.

Who was stopping them LIVING on their land? The issue arose when they left their land and attacked, murdered and kidnapped neighbouring communities. Why are the 'Palestinians' who created the state of Jordan not behaving like Hamas? Why are the 'Palestinians', almost 2 million of them, who are citizens of Israel, not behaving like Hamas? If all these ' Palestinians ' can coexist with and within Israel, why can't the 'Palestinians' of Gaza?

Don't start none won't be none! Palestinians were handed Paradise and they destroyed it now they're going after Israel just like they've done for thousands of years! It really is simple stop attacking Israel then Israel won't feel the need to protect themselves!

Egypt should remove its blockade. Gaza should be annexed and ruled as part of Egypt. The Arab nations just want to put all the weight on Israel with the hope that one day it eventually crumbles under pressure, so an Arab ruled Palestine could reemerge. Who attacked first in 1948? Why should Israel remove its blockade on Gaza if Egypt is not willing to do the same? Furthermore, Egypt ruled over Gaza before. Take responsibility. Palestine was the name given by the Roman occupiers to delegitimize Israel; it is derived from the word Philistine. You’re not fooling anyone. Help your fellow Arab Muslims if you really care. Your subterfuge and excuses are obvious evasions of moral responsibility.

He is a snitch -- pushing aside the responsibility the Arabs shd shoulder.\n\nThey were the reason for the weight.\nRefused to accept the 2 state solution 5 times without consulting the Palestinian Arabs even when Isreal accepted them since 1949 (if not wrong where Isreal only agreed to possess 20% land then) which was refuted by the Arab league and chose to hv the UNRWA instead and left Palestine stateless. Go check it out.\n\nEach time the Arab league states decided for the Palestine people (Arabs, Jews, Christian and orthodox Christian) and not the Palestine people themselves.\n\nWhy not lift the weight by demanding Hamas and the other terror outfits to quit terrorising the Palestinian and Isreal, stop attacking, release the hostages and refrain from forcefully using the people as human shield. \n\nHamas and some Arab states are responsible for these conflict and how cunning of him to turn the tables on others. \n\nHe hd a smirk on his face suggesting he pussyfooted to prevaricate the question to his surprise.\n\nCheers ?

Are we talking about the same Palestinians whose stated goal is the genocide of the Jewish people? I wonder what the Saudi response would be if the Hamas started a campaign of terrorist attacks on the Saudi people for not helping them to kill all the Jews.

They lost that right when their elected organisation started waging terror attacks.

Palestinians who don't want to leave their land should not allow Hamas to control their land either then. If their land is so sacred, why does Hamas get to launch terror attacks from their land?

Keep them coming. Eventually Americans will fully understand that the current American government doesn’t care about its own citizens more then it cares for migrants, Israel, Ukraine, Asia. And the one presidential candidate who promises to help stop the corruption in government is being constantly attacked by judicial and systematic forces who believe that Satan is their God.

Exactly they have the right to their land. How do you attack the hands that fed you huh Jews come on shame.

Are we all forgetting who attacked who? These folks let hamas take over their country! They are sad victims because they failed to keep hamas out! Stop pretending they have no fault in all this destruction!

U should learn abt bhindrawale Sade temple te attack hoyea saada youth genocide hoyea \nIndia di freedom ch 90 percent punjabi c ki milea sanu punjab was a huge state they divided it \nEvery state do trade for money \nHumara paani free kyu aur kis state ko dete hai\nLook at farmers protest \nThey started calling us khalistani\nNow we will make khalistan \nIf u want to know how will it work \nLook up maharaja Ranjit singh \nWhere there will be no discrimination

The problem in Canada it's not only about the job the most problem is dealing with a human looking dangers animals like the police and RCMP this type of a shit head am talking about wS and puppets for W S this type of Jezebel they are every were harassing and attacking to people and the question is how do you deal with this kind of low value a WS Jezebel type of animals?

70 years old of failed diplomacy by Palestinian. The refusal of accepting a Jewish state and electing a terrorist organization with a charter that declares they will eradicate the Jews and its up to the Jews to lift the weight which is the result of them protecting themselves and their people? Deflecting blame on the people who were attacked because they’re Jewish, thats all it is.

Isreal has a right to not be attacked on their land, hamas attacked Isreal, therefore Isreal has the right to destroy hamas, If the Palestinians had not elected a hamas government non of this would be happening, Palestinians are their own worst enemy in this situation!
