Canada used to be a better place to live until Trudeau and Liberal’s government turn Canada into a Banana Republic US by a country mile now

Canada a frozen shit hole

I bet you all that canada will be in turmoil....prove me wrong! It will happen!

I love Canada and I miss living there.

Im a punjabi born in canada and the immigrants have ruined my reputation among my peers

I lived in Canada for half of my life and now live in the US. I have travelled around the world and the same issues Canada has are worldwide. Taxes, increase in prices (groceries, gas etc), homelessness are world wide issues. \nSocialized medicine what was once thought to be the greatest is disappointing at best. Long wait times,lack of doctors in rural communities and poor pay for many doctors are having them head state side. \n\nI hope you find your next country and it works out. Canada will always be home and you can always come back.

Nothing about against indians...all is about Indians or not Indians what have no longer place in Canada..to many, not possible to integrate....

last week, five people from my local area in Bangladesh arrived in Canada, despite having no formal education. They paid around $10,000 to come here and are now seeking asylum, a process that costs them an additional $5,000. In Bangladesh, even in smaller rural areas, Canadian tourist visas are being openly sold, This situation reflects poorly on the current immigration system, and many of us, as international students, feel increasingly disillusioned. Canada no longer feels like the place we initially came to for higher education and personal growth.

However, I can guarantee you that this is false. Many people want to live in Canada, and as French citizens, many of us want to move to Canada. But obviously, as a French and white person, I doubt they let us in as easily as they do Black Africans, Syrians, or Palestinians. I really feel that if you’re African or Muslim, doors are open to you everywhere in the world, especially in North America. But if you’re white, well, they put obstacles in your way to prevent you from coming. I really feel that, and I see it every day, in fact.

Canada was the envy of the world up until the 2000s. \nNow its like the average person lives worse than the average person from Mississippi, except housing is priced like California

Canada had a dream of adding 1 million immigrants every year until 2100 until it reaches a population of 100 million plus! I guess that dream is down the toilet along with Canada's future!

And I complain about the USA. I had no idea how shitty Canada has become.

Good glad there going from Canada.

Canada is one of the best countries in the world. If you can’t make a good life for yourself here, you won’t be able to do it anywhere. Just a bunch of losers who don’t take responsibility for their own lives. Love living in Canada.

Home crisis is a global one. Canada is no exception…

Canada is such a shithole, you pay so much for so little

Canada have let a lot of criminals into their country unabated,their own fault

While affordability is def an issue there are a number of facts thrown around on this video that are making me question the data points being used. $3k rent sure, if you're downtown Vancouver and live on your own in a newer building with amenities which is what a friend of mine pays in Yaletown. But then I have a friends in KITS paying $1600, Main St $1500, Surrey $1100. There is not 7% of the population emigrating to the US. The rent can't be increased by $7000 as stated by the two girls, it's capped at around 3% annually, so not sure what the real context around that clip is. The girl who took a year to get housing at UBC - presumably she was renting somewhere else in Vancouver, I doubt she was living out of her car . Sounds like this was made with the most sensational examples which really undercts the video because I can't trust the other information about things I don't directly know. Having said that red tape has made building in Vancouver difficult and population growth has put huge pressure on the housing and rental market. Foreign investment purchases of housing has probably driven up the prices more than anything in Vancouver and as stated it has been linked to money laundering from drug money. It's the most expensive city in Canada btw, so while prices are high across the country, Vancouver is the worst of the lot, even worse than Toronto, so hardly an average example to look at.

Have you ever stopped to think about why people like your wife and her family left home to come to Canada? Yes, they escaped from fundamentalism and the challenges it created in their country. When they arrive here, they suddenly become intellectuals and want to make Canada like back home! I have a lot of respect for those who have made the decision to leave. I hope others, instead of complaining and comparing Canada to their home country, consider getting on a plane and leaving.

The wokester Liberal Progressives have ruined Canada with debt and broken institutions.

Canada does not worth to stay. Go to Norway.

I was born here 55 years ago, I am mixed race and have been asked if I was Indian. I think that my time growing up in Canada is that Indians have had the most racism towards them. However, There are too many coming here right now. 99% of the Indians I have met with are nice and great people. With that , the shear amount of Indians that are not desirable are here. Cannot drive, rude, no understanding of customer service and take over public spaces and are litter bugs. You guys have to help transition into the western american canadian tradition. I have seen influxes of other countries come over here in my 55 years but I have never seen one group come over with these huge numbers. It is a massive displacement

All deceivers and tricksters who had visted their respective home countries on tour/vacation and retuned to Canada, after having managed PR on the basis of asylum should be deported immediately without further scrutiny for perjury. All such cheaters have no place in Canada. The government must initiate immediate action to correct the faulty immigration system.

I would keep in mind that there's no safe place and no guaranty. Every country has it's problems or the possibilities of inheriting new ones! Our heal care sucks, but it's there and free for most. Crime is everywhere, all over the world and so is poverty. Canada has one thing you can always count on that no other place has, an alliance between all cultures and various backgrounds without prejudices. Equal rights for all. A place of common sense. You can't find that anywhere else.\n...and I'm not talking about government here. They're all shady, everywhere you go!

Too many Indians in Canada.

A Canadian from Mississauga. I left in 2012, bought a home in the heart of Istanbul Turkey for just $35,000, and now I'm living rent free, with my total basic cost of living (food, metro, internet, gas, electricity) just $280 a month, and I'm not even compromising on anything. I work online and spend only %5 of what I make on living expenses, but in Canada, I would be in the minus on the same salary.\n\nThe amount of stress when you no longer ever have to pay a rent again was all worth moving out, not to mention the depressing Canadian weather.

God Bless Canada ????

Is time to fix our country crime is up no work to many foreign workers in Canada

I am a Canadian who moved to the Netherlands.. And I’m loving it❤ I used to worked in healthcare in Canada, I had 2 jobs and it’s like you are working just to live.

Imagine that millions of indians will living in Canada? Can it will be called Canada if only Indians live there? Oh my goodness

Canada should put 5 year temporary stop on International students from any country in world! This is will settle the excess that has got in and after 2029, Canada should resume International students. This will fix job crisis as it is imposible to get a job at Tim Hortons, AW, Subway and all franchise businesses. Just 5 year ban on any student who is not Canadian. This ban should be done in very thoughtful manner without insulting any country, citizenship, race, gender or anything. Sometimes you have to clean entire house and in order do that you have to ask people to stay outside house for some time.

Real international students brings resources to Canada. Government needs to look into students that actually come not for study but to work (making money back home). Besides, why entrepreneurs and start up programs that will benefits our society gets so hard to proceed (taking over years to complete)? Why nanny home support worker can come to Canada as permanent resident so fast and easy? The people of Canada need to be aware of these strange policies that were made. The policy makers do not use their brains measuring the actual needs of Canada. They make no efforts to look into how their policies will affect the lives of the people, the system of Canada including medical systems, our infrastructure or housing. They do not care if our society can have enough to support these low skilled workers and families, and also the new refugees and families. Can our economy support all these new families? Nowadays the economy of the world is so challenging, but would these policies makers care about this? They are not stupid then there must be some reasons behind. How can the normal citizens protect their rights? BUT wait…, all these new families are growing, these new comers will protect their rights too….

Soon canada no more

International Student here who did his Masters in Canada.\n Conduct Interviews in the Home country like how the USA does. I'm pretty sure the numbers would dial down.

They applied as international students so obviously they were not in any danger to justify seeking asylum later on in Canada.

If a world war 3 is about to happen, will they actually serve lol, or will they move out until the war is over, then move back to canada?

We’re not a dump, refuse them all we can’t afford them and there’s zero vetting in Canada putting everyone at risk……

It is difficult for Arab peoples to leave an advanced country like Canada, but they leave it for several reasons, including the ones I mentioned. There are also new immigrants who sell everything, their homes and lands, and go to Canada and Germany because their ideas are very old. They do not know that the world is changing.

a bit too late. they made canada a 3rd world country

It is nice to see Church is doing social duties among the christians of Canada

1 million indians heading to usa from canada. Goodluck usa. We are shipping deodarants and shampoos afterwards. Take care of them and enjoy their smell ?

The last few years has been an absolute mess for Canada. Its very unfortunate

Send them back the look dangerous to Canada

Canada and Mexico want to destroy the USA

Thanks for posting this video. You will be missed in Canada, Alina.

Any way to find a loophole. It is how they think and live their lives. Hence why the quality of life in Canada has plummeted.

Incompetent liberal govt. is a target for those wanting to take advantage of and abuse Canada and Canadians.\nImagine the money saved by taxpayers if all asylum seekers were deported tomorrow.

Canada is becoming India and china bringing their own culture, not caring about Canadian culture!\nThanks Trudeau

A lot of negative comments.\nThe irony is that the educated students are the wrong focus to deport. They have something to offer. Instead Canada has allowed many unqualified immigrants giving them automatically PR status.

1:13 Canada must stop taking refugees!! Unless you want RIOTS that happened in the UK and EU
