I was born and raised in Canada and still live here (my roots are in Jamaica and Tobago). The last 5-10 years has made me so sad to see what’s happened to what was once such a great country. Rent and housing costs are out of control… car prices… food… utility bills… this government (led by Trudeau) has almost completely eliminated the middle class. Now there’s only the rich and the poor. And let’s not even talk about the issues with forced vaccination and stripping citizens of their charter rights… I never experienced any real racism and have never thought of Canada as a racist country. I still don’t. It’s just this woke agenda that is being pushed recently that is dividing everyone. Also very sad to see. I used to think that I would retire here but now I’m not so sure…

Canada's racial teaching with CRT (Critical Race Theory) actually makes people feel more and more divided. Whizqueen and Tinuola talk about how they didn't feel black ? till they moved to Canada, they didn't feel isolated till they moved to Canada. Back home everyone felt the same, but if people in Canada say that there is no such thing as colour, or they are colour blind, they get accused of being racist. \nHere in the UK most things are as bad as Canada, if not worse, in terms of the other things that Whizqueen and Tinuola talk about: we have gloomy weather and it is wet and cold much of the year, we have high taxes, many people are working all they can and are still relying on charities called food banks just to be able to pay all their other bills. \nBut our government is still not as bad as the way Trudeau has been governing Canada recently. Government by presidential decree is not democracy, it is a dictatorship. When people can't even protest against the dictatorship of Trudeau without being slandered and called horrible names and then punishing people by not only freezing and stealing the protesters' money, they even went after the bank accounts of people who had helped the protesters. That is what dictatorships are like, not democracy.

I was born and raised in Canada and left 30 years ago. I went to Vancouver about 10 years ago to visit family and I also found it ugly. The big glass buildings looked so dirty and outdated. It felt like an old outdated logging town. Like most Canadians, I used to be proud of the medical system but now I've realized it doesn't cure people it just keeps the citizens sick. Everyone I know there is sick and they are all proud of how many operations they've had and how many pills they take. I remember paying 30% in taxes as a University student with a part-time job. It just wasn't fair. The last straw was when I saw how the Trudeau government responded during covid. They hijacking the news stations and brainwashed the citizens. And then, they froze bank accounts of those who dared to protest or even support protesters. I lost a lot of respect for people there who I thought were intelligent and It made me realize how that place turns people into drones. Now I'm ashamed to be Canadian. Most Canadians live in a bubble and think it's the best country in the world but that's because they don't know what it's like to live. Good for you for leaving. I wish you all the best.

I leave Canada because I would rather fight against Justin Trudeau and what will he do nothing same thing for my homelessness and a fucked up said program that the government keeps taking and taking

I was born in this country and I agree with everything these young ladies were saying. I don’t have any roots in any other country but it’s been on my mind often about leaving this country for these very same reasons. In addition, this Trudeau government is just horrible and I don’t recognize Canada anymore.

Wow! How did you miss the Biggest Reason why people, ESPECIALLY NATIVE CANADIANS, are Leaving Canada??? Because the government, especially under Trudeau, is moving fast and furious through a Dictatorship and right into Communism. Do you really not see that? I know MANY Canadians who moved down to Mexico, where Americans like me live, who have also moved to escape Totalitarianism. Peace to you and all the awakening ones.

Never Answered the Question ! Supply And Demand , Stop Immigration Untill Demand Drops Off Trudeau Has Given Canada More Debt Then All The Previous Governments Over 160 Years COMBINED !!! Trudeau Has Caused Inflation With Relentless Government Borowing and Spending !!! Trudeau Has Destroyed Helth Care , Edgucation , and All Public Services by Proving Over and Over That NO Ethics Or Accountability is Required in Government Service at Any Level .

I’d leave if I could and I was born here!\nI hate the cold and I dislike Trudeau.\nExcept for the healthcare benefits, I’d rather live in the US.\nThe taxes are horrible, yes. That’s why the government wants digital money. To keep people from making cash they don’t pay taxes on.\nIn truth, I am grateful that my Mom’s surgery for her heart and cancer treatment were paid for with tax money.\nI am good with taxes as long as it means everyone gets free healthcare BUT it should also pay for a lot more healthcare staffing.

Trudeau created the problem. Is adding to the problem. Creating 400 sq foot high density boxes is not the solution. Our grandparents, parents bought decent properties on average salaries. Less Government is the answer.

All Trudeau cares about is big money coming from Immigrants as Canadian government has only cared about since the late 80s. Toes in the door.... this guy is not working for citizens, he is working for big foreign money.

Trudeau created the problem. Less Government is required. Importing votes.

Trudeau has never bought any thing in his life. This clown is so out of touch with average Canadians. I find it hard to believe any one can support this goof. The most incompetent corrupt government in Canadian history. Thanks gta and ottawa for voting these clowns in. Budget will balance itself......

Trudeau wants mortgage slaves as they are more easily controlled and manipulated by his government .

ALERT BEWARE - WELL i said this Justin Trudeau & Freeland - are part of the communist the will sell Canada to China wood resource Potash property for tourism also steel - aluminum and Lithium - Oil field that government bought not being used WEF - Klaus Shwuab we are in Trouble no Freedoms this has started-----

Born and raised Canadian from Toronto. \nIm adding my 2 cents simply because it needs to be stated. Canada is NOT a good country to live in. \nThe last 30+ years between the constant increases in taxation. The criminally high cost of housing, high cost of commodities, i.e. food, clothing, fuel, utilities, and since we are now suffering from the ineptitude of Justin trudeau, more and more canadians are looking to leave the country, myself included, for the sake of our financial wellbeing, our peace of mind, and reprieve from the seemingly endless cycle of hurry up and wait for healthcare needs, personal matters, and dealing with multi tiered, multi layered government regulations for nearly everything. I personally have contacted consulates general of 12 different nations from the EU to the pan Asian region as well as the US, and will not be living in Canada by summers end 2022. Besides, if Canada was to do a complete 180 on its economic and political directions it will take a generation or more to correct what has been systematically dismantled over the course of the last 30 to 40 years.\n\nTo a university educated, well to do successful entrepreneur and skilled multi trades professional, such as myself, its NOT worth waiting for...

No money for veterans, no help for taxpayers hurting because of government far left BS and environment, Watch Trudeau will throw billions at this. Bankrupt the country so it's easier to bring in THE GREAT RESET!!!!!!

Ukraine supporters: never even knew Ukraine existed until a few weeks ago, never been to Ukraine, don't know anything about Ukraine, it's history, it's politics, it's people. \nThe information they do know, is from biased corrupt media & government. The same parasites that claimed (lied) that Trudeau received a standing ovation at the EU.

I am sorry but Canada now runned by Trudeau has made it the worst place to be. Get out while you can. Our Communist country is going to get worse. Like him and Klaus Schwabs says : You will be poor and own nothing and be happy. From crooked rich people. Like Trudeau says he loves China because they control their people. Look what he did with the truckers. Don't be fooled by paid off media. Oh congrats CBC for getting 1.2 million dollars from our government. Nice to be a liar and get paid for it.

If someone is considering coming to Canada, especially recently, consider this..... The cost of living is high, the cost to buy a house is out of reach for many Canadians, taxes are many and high, government regulations are many, the present Liberal Trudeau government is not Liberal but it is a fascist/authoritarian government, many police are brutal and arrest and imprison people for protesting peacefully, they have fined, arrested and imprisoned Pastors for conducting church service and feeding the homeless, the Canadian dollar is low with less buying power, inflation is high, there has never been such high government debt, the government can order the banks to freeze your money, it is cold, opportunity is not that available, racial discrimination is here and by the government (i am Caucasian), the country is in such debt that we can go broke and the dollar further devalued. Corrupt money laundering is almost accepted by officials. There are better countries to immigrate than to Canada.

If you disagree with the government what happens to your bank account?\n\nFROZEN!\n\nFuck Trudeau and his fascism.

Wow! look like Justin Trudeau find a way to BLAME someone! For his mistakes THE LAST 2 years!! closing down the country!! On the truckers 2 weeks. No truckers! No food / supplies. But he does not care. If he did care about the people? Why he does not pick up the PHONE and call them!! Maybe on his eyes they are slaves china way. This is how the democratic = socialism = communist think!! Its never the government fold!! ..

Thank you for this very practical, informative, and important video. Now that Canada is controlled by dictator-for-life Justin Trudeau (the biological son of Margaret Trudeau and Fidel Castro, leader of communist Cuba), Canada's future looks very grim for those who want individual freedoms and believe in rule of law. The country continues to be in lock down and will probably never get out of it. The government threatens to rescind retirees' pensions and health care if they do not comply to gov dictates, particularly in regard to vax mandates. The darkness of totalitarianism lurks everywhere in that beautiful country. Better to return home to be with family and friends.

Both my parents immigrated from Europe so I can relate to many of the comments.\nSo, what I see is that Canada is a country of mostly heavy industry which often requires people to live in rural, remote, isolated communities. Canada is a big country so transportation is a significant part of it's economic foundation. Most people do not come here wanting to live up north or drive a commercial truck. They want to live in a big city and have a professional job.\nClearly the government has done a poor job of conveying what is needed (Trudeau is pretty clueless to be honest).\nIf you want to be in demand go rural and go north.

My grandparents immigrated from Italy and Ireland. They never got nice warm Canada Goose jackets, clothes, Nike shoes designer jeans, free English lessons or welfare. They paid there way, bought their land and found work LEGALLY, paid to learn English.\nThey did not steal unemployed Canadians jobs going through Trudeaus let’s hire out of the country so our government funds part of the wage. What we get are lousy heath care workers who barely understand or speak the English language and are caring for our Elderly and mistreating them. This I saw first had. I took my Mother home out of a senior home and cancelled home care as they never showed up on time. Would they leave there parent in a urine soaked brief for 5 hours as that is how late they were. I had to quit my job to take care of her. I myself am disabled with a spinal injure. The worst part of “Home Care workers” is that they wanted me to call in and cancel so they got paid. This statement gave from the Home Care nurse in charge of these immigrants working here. Seven of my friends, who are educated health care workers, which they themselves paid for, not paid my our government. They can’t get a job. The last job I applied for and they ask you status I put that I am a Canadian refugee in my own country. \nPretty sad when on Remembrance Day you have these woke individuals begging for money to help refugees. They should be ashamed of themselves for this disgusting action as this is a time to remember the men and women who fought for our freedom. Trudeau is a total embarrassment to all Canadians. He brings in more refugees rather than helping Veterans and homeless Canadians.

It's not just immigrants who leave Canada. My parents were born in Canada. My grandparents were born in Canada and six of my great-grandparents too. I was born in Toronto. Got my first degree from a Canadian university. Then a Master degree with a teaching assistantship at an American university. Then got a scholarship to study at a UK university. in the UK asked to conduct a graduate seminar for MSc students in quantitative analysis and computer applications at a major UK university. Then appointed senior research officer and leader of a research program in operational research. Then appointed principal scientist for a UK government agency. Eight years studying and working abroad in senior positions. Time to return to Canada. But could I get a job? I could not. \nAnd so I have a base in another Commonwealth country with a better climate, lower living costs, less tax and less government regulation. And from that base, I have worked in 20 countries all over Asia. With none of the bullshit I hear from the likes of Justin Trudeau. And none of the age discrimination common in Canada.

Ashir Azeem sahab aap logon ko Gumrah ker rahye hain kih yahan Islamophobia nahi. Justin Trudeau sahab khud maan chukye hain this incident was a terrorist attack due to Islamophobia and the same charges have been laid on the killer . I am a resident of toronto since the last 25 years. Aap nye tu yaqeenan Islamophobia face nahi kia ho ga......\nBut my daughters are Hijabi and we have faced many incidents since 9/11 happened Please don't misguide people. There are incidents like this but Government and people are cooperative.

Most of those immigrants are from Hong Kong, are Citizens of Convenience, after the got what they want lieve Canada work and stay in China for years and not pay taxes, now Trudeau government try to repatriate them

I live in the Toronto are, wanna talk about illegal immigrants? Come here and see theres so many without working visas who cant speak english at all. yet been here for years. THIS IS THE LIBERAL FEDERAL GOVERNMENTS FAULT GET RID OF TRUDEAU!

Some encouraging news.\nThe Canadian Supreme Court just recently ruled the “safe third country agreement” with the U.S. violates the Canadian charter of rights and freedoms. The Canadian government has six months to dissolve the agreement or appeal, which is unlikely with the current Trudeau administration, and the current Republican Party immigration hardliners in power in Washington.

Any leader who admires a communist government Justin Trudeau must be removed from government now now NOW

Truth = Hate speach so watch out. The real story may end up being that Canada has spent 100’s of millions of dollars for unqualified illegals beacause of Trudeau’s self protion campaign but Canada’s Dr’s have adamantly stated the healthcare system is always operating at 100% capacity. When people start dying because there are not enough resources to save them it will get ugly. The money spent on unqualified illegals not facing death or oppression and a governments obsession on self promotion instead of healthcare infrastructure will not make for a great legacy with an avoidable death count.

What a lying government. Trudeau never said a word about these non Canadians being exempt. He’s more than happy to keep risking Canadians lives. What a liar and where the heck is he rest of the media on this story. You are all complicit.

What is the benefit of bitching about Justin Trudeau?\nCanadians are you seriously to coward to oust this government and retake your country?

OK, Trudeau is a totally useless child and idiot. Aside from that though, why are the opposition party's not bringing this up? WHy are they staying silent about it? Because if they are talking about it I haven't heard anything.\nAnother question, it is in Quebec. So why is the Quebec provincial government allowing this? What the hell is going on exactly?\nWe have Trudeau saying the RCMP doesn't take orders from the government, yet they are allowing this to happen. It is completely illegal, unfair to immigrants using the proper channels, unfair to Canadian citizens as we are the ones footing the bill for all this nonsense, and now it is dangerous. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN CANADA???

What a goddamned joke of a government. Trudeau cares not one iota about the safety of Canadians. He cares about nothing more than getting these people in to vote for him.

HOW ABOUT THE REFUGEES WITH MULTIPLE WIVES AND EACH WIFE PRODUCES A FAMILY. SO DOES THE HUSBAND CLAIM MULTIPLE FAMILY CHEQUES EVERY MONTH.????????????? NOW THAT YOU'VE PUKED OUT THIS SO CALLED PROPAGANDA FOR THE LEFT, YOU JUST REPEATED WHAT IS WRITTEN IN THE LAW BOOKS; NOT WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING UNDER THE TRUDEAU GOVERNMENT! YOU NWO GOVERNMENT PEOPLE WILL NOT CHANGE FACTS! THIS WOMAN IS JUST ANOTHER LEFT PUPPET!

9 months have passed and the canadian government haven’t done anything good job Trudeau, your children will be happy for the mess you have done to their country

Too bad he’s not a Muslim. Trudeau would have welcomed him with open arms. Worst case enter Canada from Quebec and well give you money and a nice hotel accommodation . Welcome to a disfunctional government.

I'm Canadian and Prime Minister Trudeau is a snake. No one I know wants illegal immigrants here. We also don't want asylum seekers who are here to milk the tax payer. There was a recent local story of a Muslim family of ten from the middle east where the women just had her eleventh born here locally. The Canadian government pays $300 per kid, you do the math.

TRUDEAU TRULY IS A JACKASS ...VOTE CONSERVATIVE AND GET THIS LIBERAL GOVERNMENT VOTED EXTINCT

His sentence was a joke. 2 years. He probably spent that time planning his next fraud. It was well worth his time in jail. Why isn't the Canadian overseer receiving more money in order to stop other perpetrators. I think government doesn't care much or it would do something about it. Get Trudeau out so we can get proper budget allowances to deal with illegal immigrants. Save Our Canada!

Becoming a Canadian Citizen with a translator...this is epic. The result of “proud to have no identity” of the Trudeau utopic, leftist terror Government. Canadians not being able to afford Vancouver because of illegal communist money being poured in the Canadian economy. How to you “compete” with that? Working at Canadian Tire? But hey...ban all guns to keep us safe. I am an European immigrant who once respected Canada, I am dreaming of the Land of the Free now.

Big deal. We have hundreds of illegals entering Canada every day at the invitation of the Trudeau government and nothing is done.

Canadian government brings them so they can make $$$ millions don’t be surprised at all I don’t blame Trudeau bcz Stephan Harper did more than that. Do you remember the Canadian ambassador to China ?? What he did ?? He made millions of dollars by cheating and giving visas to Chinese when they found out he was sent to retirement plus his salary for life plus$$$ millions in Belize ?? lol. \nWho made the real estate so expensive??? I DONT TRUST THE GOVERNMENT EVER

This is propaganda served up by Trudeau's government to try and silence media with any form of criticism towards Immigration, especially handing out $600 million in payments to social and news media who would not question and only speak favorably on the influx of migrants to Canada. Luckily most Canadians are very aware of what's going on, Trudeau is unilaterally telling Canadians we have to pay for a mass exodus of economic migrants into Canada without a single debate in parliament or even a word to the Canadian people about this horrible idea.

What ticks me off is these folks can't speak the language and probably are unskilled. Yet I took in a student from Brazil, who spoke English and was very intelligent, he would have added to Canada not lived off welfare and yet the government wouldn't allow him to stay even though my husband and I wanted to sponsor him. Ya Trudeau loves immigrants especially Muslims and believe me next election I hope he gets the BOOT.

Trudeau has an open door policy for all immigrants.Trudeau puts illegal immigrants in to find Hotel’s at the tax payers expense. He feeds the illegal immigrants at the taxpayers expense. He has free healthcare for all illegal immigrants at the taxpayers expense. Free lodging, food and free healthcare for illegal immigrants at the taxpayers expenseThis is the Liberals back door for future voters for the liberal party. While immigrants par take the stressful scene at hookah bars the Canadian Armed Forces are fighting for their freedom in their war torn countries. When the Canadian Armed Forces personnel return from those war torn countries, they are rewarded with no gainful civilian jobs, no psychiatric care, and no support from our government that sent them in harms way. Our government says there is no more money for them. But Trudeau has more money for immigrants. $340 million with veterans affairs was put aside for a rainy day. Vote Liberal if you want more, not less Illegal immigrants. Vote Liberal if you feel your tax dollars for illegal immigrants is your tax dollars is well spent. Vote Liberal, but please do not complain about your future or your children’s future.

Normal Canadians are being abused by the liberal extremist Trudeau government. Feminist, identity politics, Super fan of anything Muslim, anti-White, etc. You get the picture.

As a Canadian i do hope the best for everyone but the fact that our government is just allowing anyone who dam well feels like it to cross into our country is just sick and most of the people are destroying motels racking up bills and its Canadian tax payers that must flip the bill none of us should be happy about that i so hate Justin Trudeau for turning Canada into a joke he should be fixing this country and stop helping the rest of the world he has no god dam right doing all that he did.

Terrorism,protected in Canada,stand up people wake up Trudeau has done this the liberal government should be jailed for their pushing their evil agenda upon the Canadian people,if they are afraid good ,obey the laws of the land,l can't believe this women about being threatened,more like she threatens others ,Cannot see any one looking at her in any way.
