Politics is Canadas biggest problem. The idiots in ontario keep electing incompetent people to run the country. If the western provinces (Saskatchewan, Alberta, BC) seperated from Canada and became our own country we would be one of the best and wealthiest countries. And what would be left of Canada would collapse in a matter of months. There would be a civil war but western Canada would easily win.

Canada used to be a great country. I have a very hard time saying that it is today. The government focuses on the wrong issues and taxes it's people to death. There was a time when $100k used to get you somewhere. Nowadays, it gets you a modest house mortgage, and one vehicle with just enough left over to put some food on the table.

In these kind of comparaisons, it's always important to keep in mind that Canada has 10 provinces and 3 territories. Each province and territory have their own way of doing things. So it's pretty much like 13 countries into 1. One thing in Ontario is not gonna be the same as in BC for example. So, whatever someone experiences in Ontario will not be the same elsewhere. Like taxes for example, it's different from 1 province to another. So, it's best for someone who wants to move to Canada to do their research on each province because they do things differently from one another. \n\nAlso in terms of traveling to countries that are closer, yes the UK gets a point because all the other European countries are closer. But in Canada, when you leave a province for another one it sometimes feels like you left for another country ? . Besides the US and Mexico, Canadian also go to Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Brasil, Argentina, Turks and Caicos(lots of Canadian go there that at one point the island was even considering becoming the 11th province of Canada ?) .\n\nIn terms of diversity, it's not that much different from the UK. All the big cities are very diverse, just like the UK. Also, Toronto is the most diverse city in the world.

I get where you're coming from, no one is more patriotic than myself but bro this is the land of hope. My grandfather who raised me is an immigrant who left a life of no hope and growth to come here. He was deported 12 times but each time fought to come back. Now he is a father of 4 grandfather of 7 American citizens. He is the pride of our family for how much of an outstanding person he is. But all this would not have come to fruition if it wasn't for the opportunities that this country provided. I understand our country is struggling but it's not struggling to a point where we have to turn our backs on these people and pretend like we can't help them when help isn't even what they want. They just want somewhere safe to raise their children.

agreed bruh, gov overtaxing and overpolicing with low salaries. Vancouver was the most broke I've ever been in my entire life. Thank god I left the country.

They come to America for a better life. And when they made it in and they raise up their native country flag that they left.

Meanwhile my neighbors of Spanish origin were raised and taught in the local schools here and act like they can’t speak English\nI love how they have so\nMuch pride in being Mexican yet they left their country to come here and act like they do\nThe woman are apparently forced to stay inside except when putting their kids on the bus and always someone watching her, and the house next door every few months a crowd of pregnant ladies stay awhile and then leave to repeat the cycle every so often, and nobody in that house works yet they always have different vehicles and money for the lottery\nAnd both houses are always “remodeling” to the point I e called the houses Narnia because apparently you enter the door and it’s a whole universe in there to be remodeled from time to time

100% with you. It’s the liberal government and especially CBC and other media that are pushing a far left ideology. It’s destroying everything that make the country work.\nThe taxing rate is destroying the economy. You are left with half your income, out of that you get taxed 15% on expense and if you buy expert (plumber, carpenter) they too loose half of it. This is destroying the productive free economy. It’s at a point it might collapse.\n\nIf we want to save Canada we have to vote conservative and return to the value that work, freedom, low taxes, small government.

America should've left those countries alone. Instead, they brought chaotic to every country in the world. Now, they are facing the consequences

Okay let me get to the point I understand immigrants that migrate from other places that are suffering and so on the only thing I am against once we have immigrants in this country like us and even Canada we as US citizens and in some cases the Canadian citizens we be left in the back burner while the people that are not from here they tend to get first priority which is not they get more of the services then us citizens especially when it comes to food stamps health insurance housing jobs and so on. I understand they're human like everybody else but don't cast us to the side just to cater to them.

U can take ur fucking country back just like this!. I sympathize..I lean left...but all u ppl do is bring ur scared as fuck bullshit to the US and let the same thing happening to ur country to happen in our American neighborhoods. Nope!

They left their mother country and now trying to sneak in another country. Unfortunately the illegal immigrants will not be able to settle down anywhere and the countries that help them without any condition will broke I believe. The countries must prioritize their citizen and the people who immigrate abiding by law and paying all process fee appropriately. All lives matters but nothing is free.

Sad the amount of effort they put in to escaping instead of fighting to improve their own country. Reminds me of what happen to Afghan as soon as we left….

You can thank the people who voted for the left , the democrats and Biden for this. For the all time high drugs flowing into the country , crime at a staggering all time high , wasting billions of hard earned tax dollars and leaving it to our enemy’s in the form of military equipment , stopping us from being self sufficient in oil production which everyone needs to live for heat, food, transportation, and economic gain and so much more. trying to take away the rights of its citizens and turn what was once a great country into a horrible place to live-they can’t win the next election constitutionally so they do it illegally. Everything is being taken away and so much damage has been done because of it.

Every single reason you mentioned about why you left Vancouver (Canada) is valid. My husband and I left Vancouver a couple of years ago and have been living in Spain since then. It's been an eye opener. The Covid situation was especially bad and I hate to see how politicians have divided Canada. Under Trudeau, Canada has become a tyrannical state. I am not sure if there will be any hope for change since most Canadians watch CBC and have been brainwashed to believe he has done great for the country.

MAN WHAT US AMERICANS BORN AND RAISED HERE WE GET LEFT OUT LIKE LEFTOVERS FOR THEM THEY GET HOUSING HELP WITH MONEY ETC ITS A FCKN JOKE THESE ARE THE SAME PPL THAT COME HERE TALK SHIT ABOUT USA AND THAT THEIR COUNTRY IS BEAUTIFUL BETTER WELL STAY THERE THEN DON'T BUMRUSH OUR COUNTRY ??????????

This is one of the few immigrants I have a compassion for. I see Jose is working in the construction field on top of a roof in the middle of the winter I have kids I don’t even wanna work and they have the ability to work there. Just lazy. I hope Jose gets to stay. He has a trade in construction as a carpenter, and we have a shortage of good carpenters in this country. My question as I would not have left the United States the attorneys here are much more compassionate, and Canadian attorneys José all the luck to you remember to tell them that you have a trade 99% of the people coming over the border do not have a trade they do not know how to do anything the education lacks in South America especially in the trades.

This administration is turning America into another Venezuela. Biden is supporting illegals with our taxes, while ignoring our own citizens. The Demorats are allowing these invasions in order to add more Left electoral votes and popular votes in order to become a ONE party country.

They could easily be using those new crowd control trucks that nuke the surface of your skin making you run the other direction. The left is killing this country and liberal voters are helping them tear it all down.

As long as the left is in power in countries in Latin America and the USA more and more people will suffer, please understand.

Thank you Biden administration for the chaos you've bestowed on the country you're supposed to defend! F-U too liberal media for not grilling these left wing politicians on their terrible policies.

Well that happens when a country like USA help bringing gun to the narcos in failed mission like the one 100 American soldiers Left their gun while running away scare of the narcos ?

Hurts me seeing these people like this but I do not approve any of it nobody should enter any country illegally \n\nI was 12 when my mom and dad left for the US \nthey both left when I was 12 and my brother 14 \nLeft us by ourselves in a third world country sending us 100$ a month to survive \n\nso I waited and waited for 8 god damn long years \nfor me to get a stupid interview that was done in 5 minutes with me barely saying any words. \n8 years it took me just to get a interview with the U.S. embassy \n\nYeah that needs to change obviously \n\nBut when I look at this people I only get disgusted and reminded how much bs I had went trough not being able to have my mom and dad near me as a kid because we went on the “right” path

Statue of liberty is crying too... our government has raped the country and people so bad that we have no humanity left as a society. We are suffering too, you see the news... we aren't disrespecting other countries immigration laws to escape in masses. We are poor too, what yous ee on TV is the elite and they are a sliver of what the real America is. We are angry, desperate, hungry, over worked, over taxed and abused by police daily.... you are running from one hell, and into a worse hell. America is a lie, run AWAY, not to.

With all the. Migrants coming here. Who's left in their country. The govt. etc should do better for their. OWN people. very sad situation all they need and want is a better LIFE

Running from left wing communist countries!

It’s obvious they could fight in their own country for a better life. They know that US Border Patrol will not just shoot to kill. \nMany have not left a good imprint in South American countries that opened their doors to them.

Americans. Are going to pay a heavy price for this illegal mass migration \nIf you keep on adding dirt to a glass of clean water. In the end a glass of dirt is all you got left with .\nTaxpayers money is wasted\nLegally people working shall be demotivated \nCrime shall increase \nThese so called migrants are loosers of their sole country imagine people who can not solve their country problems and stand for themselves in their own country do u really want them in yours

There is rules, you apply and government will choose who passes and who is not, why America, they should try to go south, what is sad is - when they cry to come here and then they push their own rules and act like pigs to American citizens, is sad I agree , but if we let everyone with out paper work or illegal, there will be no country left because of this kind illegal emigrats, guards at the border- God help them to stand strong, there is always a legal way to do

Why is CNN covering something not serious in Canada but the wide open mexico border is fine ? ?????? How do you people watch this trash CNN, Fox MSNBC,abc all garbage liars ignoring the real issues CNN saying trump is a criminal well Hillary was smashing laptop's and phones as the FBI raided this world is so backwards when are you people going to wake up all of them Left & Right are destroying this country

Venezuelans fleeing to the US. A lot fled to Brazil, but now with the left back, they see less hope in Brazil. Americans study Latin America history and get rid of the left before they destroy your country too.

I thought y’all said America is a horrible, racist, white privileged, homophobia place…. Y’all better tell these people that are risking life and limb that they are better off in their own country. … well that’s what the left think…

What I don't understand is ...\nWhy they don't stay in thare own country and overthrow there government and make it better instead of coming to Our country and destroying what little we have left ...\nThat's what's gonna happen. \nWe are all ready pushed to our max. \nWe can't afford the people we got now ...\nI mean who the hell is gonna support them ... We Are that's who ..\nVenezuela chose socialism so they created this monster and now they can't live with it ... \nWhy don't thare citizens take all that energy and anger out on THARE government ?????

This is despicable. Thanks Mr Presidentfor creating another crisis for us the citizens of this country. Despicable bastards in both sides. Mexico amd the progressive left. Makes me sick. It’s simple Math. We cannot take anymore of these economic drains on our country. Amd that’s all these people are. That’s not asylum. Zoom in on the smiles. F.. criminals. Like it’s funny?

Homelessness is a major problem in every developed country and it always will be. \nThe highest rate for lifetime literal homelessness were found in the UK (7.7%) and United States (6.2%), with the lowest rate in Germany (2.4%), and intermediate rates in Italy (4.0%) and Belgium (3.4%).\nHomeless people do NOT receive an income because it is impossible to send a cheque to those do not have an address. Furthermore, the government does NOT provide the homeless with drugs in order to control them!! That’s absurd! It’s a disgraceful lie!\n\nThere are enough lies and misinformation coming from mainstream media! We don’t need more BS coming from YouTube. \nIf you find this country so disgusting why did you come here? \nWhy don’t you talk about why you left your country and how lucky you are to be here.\nI have lived in Canada all my life and \nI would not trade this peaceful country for any other country on this planet!

They have come to take and destroy your country too. Then they will leave for pastures new once they have. They’re not the type to build anything or to create a better country for them and others, if they did they would have done so already. They didn’t, they just left.

The only people left in these countries they are fleeing will be the cartels.

If everyone flees their own countries and puts so much effort into breaking in to another country, who's going to be left in the home country to fix the problems? Imagine if they put that effort into their own communities?\nAnd no I'm not from the states, from an outside perspective it's insane.

Its not right these scum think they can demand a right over legal immigration they demand this if they just put more effort into the country they are born into then mibbi they wouldn't need to leave then when they do come they start to celebrate Mexican or what country they left and keep there culture you know what just stay where you are

They fight to come in but won’t fight for their own country…? That’s the total opposite of the American spirit. We don’t want someone like that hear. Turn your asses around and get a job. No more hand outs and free stuff from our hard earned taxes(stolen money). Then a lot of these ppl if they do work send it right back to their country and don’t spend their money in America those a lot of self owned businesses could use. Like we need them for sure. But not that many and not like that. I wish we could do a study where only liberals get to live in an area with their rules and only conservatives with their rules in a different spot. Then maybe the libs can see how dumb they are. On the libs side You would have homeless ppl every, no cops, no locked doors since they want open boarders, the government controlling your every move, guys in girls bathroom(creeps included), 70-90% taxes, segregation since they think ppl of color should have their own spaces. Only criminals with guns and since no police that would be tough. \n\nAnd the conservative side would be like America only more freedom, barely any tax if any, guns everywhere so you can protect yourself, closed boarder but do it legal way more than welcome. And little things like higher speed limits, cheap gas. And FREEDOM as long as you aren’t hurting anyone else. \n\nI mean how can the left really not see their side sucks… democrats want to control you, republicans want you to have freedom…how is this confusing lol

Canadian here, and this video is right on the money for some of the most frustrating things about Canada! \n\nOur proudest achievement is our healthcare system, but up until recently, the government has been choking it little by little. Making it so difficult for any Doctor/Nurse to even consider finding work here (and making it impossible to afford getting a medical degree) because you are literally doing it for the love of the game at this point. \n\nEven if you become a specialist in a specific field (which pays really well compared to most careers here) it is unlikely any hospital will hire you. Our hospitals are only interested in making profits by pushing painkillers on Canadians, rather than hiring medical professionals to help fix them. If you become a family Doctor, it is a bit better, because you can open your own practice. But kiss your social life goodbye if you do! The most annoying part of this problem is some people blame all this on the fact that we have healthcare and assume a private American system would be better. Where the real problem is we need more workers and funding into our healthcare to make it better. Not making lives harder for poorer Canadians!\n\nWeirdly enough our Tax system issue didn't stand out as a problem to me until I left Canada and see how taxes are marked elsewhere! It blew my mind that I didn't have to do math when I visited another country and the way we advertise wages is purposely deceptive! In Ontario, we succeeded in getting a $14 hour minimum wage (only in Ontario and maybe one other province). Which sounded amazing until you realize that's $14 without tax... To compare, I was incredibly lucky in Toronto where I found a place for 750 a month and was earning $16 an hour. Sounded like more than enough for the cost of living, but after taxes I was pretty much putting more than half my monthly income in rent. On top of that I had to pay for student loans and other bills. \n\nBottom line, if you are wanting to move to Canada for our beautifully scenic environments, free healthcare, and a stable job? \n\nMove to Finland.

The sad thing is that they try to make America the same as the country they just left.

You people voted in the communist government! All for getting free shit. And now you race to bust into our country. Are you going to vote for the leftest communist democrat party here as well for free shit! Tax payer and government printed money which lowers the value of our dollar, making it more and more impossible to survive. Which isn’t free. It’s designed to make people poor and dependent on government which wreck small businesses, create out of control inflation, send jobs overseas just so you need more free shit. Go home and fight for the freedom you gave away. We have enough trouble with our own leftest without adding more. I value my freedom more than free shit given out by the Leftest Communist Uber Rich Corporations that owns our leftest Democrat government and media. Go home and take your country back! Oh, what’s this? You say you can’t because you gave up your right to own fire arms. Now your government controlled police and army who don’t have to deal with hunger because that’s how leftest government works. First they get rid of the good cops and troops. So they can bring in thugs. And you all gave up your human rights to defend yourselves. You can’t fight with bare hands. Not against firearms. We can’t save you! Because you rushing in like this is exactly what leftest want. They didn’t lower the borders to help you. They did it to overburden us with humanity. So the communist left can crush freedom and turn us into another Venezuela. Americans, never give up your guns.

America… for the love of God please start protecting OUR OWN borders instead of worrying so much about other country’s borders around the world!! The left is so worried about being woke instead of taking care of the Americans who pay for all of it. I’ve busted my A$& all my life to work hard and am tired of spending billions of dollars on foreigners who just abuse our systems and get free money, phones, places to live, medical care, food, etc. and act like we owe them. It’s bad enough we have enough actual citizens who abuse the system because they are too lazy to work and care for themselves. I’ve always been one to care for others but this crap has gotten out of control and I’m done. It also makes the US look like a bunch of weak SUCKERS!!!

And the left thinks this is ok they literally just invaded your country, isnt this an act of war technically?

The idiots on the far left progressive democrats side strongly believe this country should be setting up communism; just like Venezuela did. \nSo; why are THEY risking their very lives to trudge over many thousands of miles and several hostile countries just for a chance at rushing into our border?!

We have such evil policies against their countries that its only right that they come here... shameful... there is no wisdom Or healthy mental Skill set Left in this world..we watched the exhaustion of the wisdom of this world right before our eye's the last 30yrs..the media and politicians have been dumbing down the population here in America...the immigrants Know what they are doing...bye America

And my life turned upside down this Friday by illegal immigrants here in Louisiana. They ran a red light, smash my car, totaled it. While running from border patrol and customs. I counted eight people running out of the vehicle and not one gave two shits to check on me, even though I was injured. Seven of them got away the only one they caught was a 14 year old Honduran child that claimed amnesty. So vehicle which they stole, which had stolen license plate, and apparently was full of stolen tools all was seized. The owners will be lucky if they get anything back since it is being held as evidence. I was told by My Attorney chances are my insurance will not pay me in full for my vehicle. Also, I only have a few payments on my car left, and I’m forced to pay it even though now I have no vehicle to get to work, because all my equity is tied up in it, funny thing is I recognize this kid from one of the jobsites down the street. They literally beat me in a bid on. Mind you only buy $400 differences I’m having to pay taxes it’s a joke when you say these people take jobs and no one else wants thing is it’s not jobs no one else wants it’s jobs that have become jobs. No one wants because of the pay continues to fall prices continue to increase, everyone thinks he’s illegal immigrants make no money on these jobsites most of them have nicer vehicles and live in nicer places than the guys I know. The Democrats who are used to vote for because I thought they were for the workingman have completely switched. Their allegiance is to the large corporations that just want to drive down competition and raise their profit margins. They don’t care about America. They want a global economic system in which we have to compete with people that are willing to do the same work as us for a little less because they don’t have to pay what we have to pay and they go back to their countries and live like kings where our dollar buys a lot. They literally use their influence and corruption to take down Trump‘s administration because he was actually doing something about America’s problems. What a damn shame it’s time to change the system. If you’re not voting for a Bernie Sanders or Trump you might as well not voted off because you will get no change. Frankly, I think Bernie Sanders is a terrible choice, but it beats Joe Biden, because at least Bernie Sanders does care. Trump 4 more years!!!!

You see this because you all cried racism bs when trump tried to make sure the boarder was secure and build the wall, so we could try to fix our country and the millions of folks here suffering and then build build us to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN so we can help folks in need. And be sure that people with I’ll intentions can not rush the boarder like this incase any, if not many of those folks were here to do harm or to our country or Americans that live here. And this is what you get for playin identity politics. Now the left will do as they do and try to say Trump and Patriots let them in. Wtf.

I have a fix to all this. Make every American that came from a legit system, and grand parents, and parents who came legally back 4 generations count only and offspring.. No Tno anchor babies allowed from anyone who came illegally past 4 generations, record department can validate all this. All natural born and maybe been legally also count. Ok, everyone mentioned get mandated to wear a tamper proof wristband linked to ownership and picked up from the DMV and the bands are electronically active for six months, if cut it sends a signal RFID signal for warranted arrest. Everyone with a band can go to work, shop, travel and it's only temporary for 6 months then gets legally removed. All illegals can register on the way out and need grabbed to cube back through the front door if they have no violent or theft charges or rape/assault felonies. Temp residents/work Visas get a band too. Bring in NATO and our military to start operation clean sweep, we offer bus rides back and ditched air flights back to what ever country you can't from, the sweep comes from N.S.E.W. circling in..if caught after having a chance to leave and didn't you will have a index finger on left hand cut off as a marker for being a invader to our homeland along with a RFID microchip embedded into the wrist bone, the chip will signal in the future if you even get with in 500 miles to border and all airports coming into America. Solar drones charge and patrol the border in drives 24/7. All who participated can get in line to come back as long as clean record mentioned prior. Finish the wall using 9 billion dollars we save each year by removing All illegal from our prisons and send them back chipped and marked by missing finger...THIS IS THE ONLY ONLY ONLY WAY TO EVER CLEAN AMERICA UP!!!!! MANDATE THIS A.S.A.P. This is the only thing that will every week and send the message to the world ? This is my idea!!! Have any better solutions, this will cost us nothing being we pay NATO anyways and military. I'm waiting...???
