Hey Mother Tucker. Your American solution is obviously much better. Kidnap the kids and lock them and their parents separately in dog kennels indefinitely. The reason there are so many more asylum seekers in Canada is the U.S. is systematically forcing them out, often after years of living there. Build that southern wall! Make the U.S. pay! It is their decades of messing around in Central America and their idiotic 'war on drugs' that started the problem in the first place.

People wake up before “peoplekind “ has our tongues removed!!! Hotels!! Seriously, wouldn’t it be nice if “he” would have thought of doing it for the homeless and our homeless vets ! \nEvery day I’m suffering with mental anguish because of him, he’s destroying our beautiful country. He is the most entitled and spoiled person I’ve ever encountered. The Canadians that built this country deserve much better than this!

Bathinda much better than Brampton

Ok. This guy had at least $15,000 to waste on lawyers but he left his home country to move where it is more expensive to live. Moron. He could have lived like a king on that much wherever he came from. Fix your own countries if you don't like them. Start a resistance movement and ask a foreign power to help. Then maybe you will have a good place to live. But i guess it would be easier to bail and move somewhere better instead of fixing the problems at home.

I’m not Canadian, so I don’t have as much of an understanding of their process; however, much like in the U.S., you have to have a legitimate and compelling reason to seek asylum, for example, those escaping a literal war in Syria where death was imminent. Not that I don’t have compassion for this man wanting to better his life and that of his family, but seeking asylum from El Salvador because they have a lackluster economy, crime and violence (while a good enough reason to relocate elsewhere) isn’t a case for asylum. *shrug* Asylum is meant for exigencies, emergencies, imminent danger, which doesn’t look like it applies here. My guess is this man thought seeking asylum would be a way to go around needing expensive documents to do a standard immigration and the process flopped on him.

Why put all that money for a lawyer he should of stayed in his country and made a difference their! He hasn’t seemed to make much effort in becoming a citizen he don’t even speak French or English! 15000 is a fortune in his country why didn’t he build something in his country better!

A lot of people comment about how illegal immigration is ok, and blah blah blah. It's simple to say that when you don't feel the direct impact. Change the US as a country to your house. Now let's say the neighbors land Lord is beating the shit outta everyone in that household (play on the violence that's happening in country of orgin). One of then move into your house without letting you know beforehand (illegals). Let's say you don't mind and understand why they did so. Now they work hard around the house and get a job to spend for themselves and send money next door to the family still left behind. . But they don't have to pay for electricity, gas (aka taxes). And since you own a 3 bed room house, things don't change that much. Now 2 more of the neighbors flee because of the asshole land Lord. Now you have to start working slightly harder to pay for your utilities aka taxes. Now you start seeing how more people affect your household. Now even more people flee the next door neighbors and you work even harder for utilities plus your trash is overflowing, have to invest in larger trash cans, fix the doors or ascetic's(pipes, faucets, tubs etc) in your house from over use or mismanagement. Plus you have to start driving their kids to school, you have to get a bigger vehicle (that's a play on the education systems bloating classroom problems)spend more on gas and car maintenance, and since they all don't speak English, to have to spend money on making signs to inform them of the house rules and dangers. You have to invest time out of your schedule to inform them how things work in your house hold because at their house they walked around naked or shit with the door open (play on different societal norms or religions) and may even have to alter your rules as not to impose and anger them. Know the house is over filled and they expect you to buy a bigger house (play on the welfare state)I mean I can go on... But people reading this can get the drift. Point is, yes i understand that people want a better life and all immgration in not necessarily evil, but you can't just let anyone come in because you feel bad. Making change based off emotions of a few is detrimental to the whole.

Illegals please go to canada! They have everything u need. It's a much better place than USA

I was born in Seattle and left to Canada (married) when I was in early 20's!  This then was a good change for me as Vancouver was a great city compared to Seattle, moved right downtown and had a blast so for a young person (then) was great.  Met some great people from all over the world and had health care, medical/Dental etc.... I worked in the greater Vancouver area for 8 years and it was tough, very strict, and did not help that I was from the states, white bread Canadian seemed a bit jealous that I was there, sometimes not very friendly.  The Europeans I met were actually better to deal with and I got along quite well with them.  The cost of living was about the same as in Seattle.  After about 8 years being in Canada and working hard I saw America booming and the Canadian dollar was as low as $.62 cents (in late 90's) so I took my craft from Vancouver and brought it to the US just across the border, I became much happier working in the States, I took a little bit of bs but not bad from some that I had a Canadian accent (go figure when I moved up there I had a twang) I really never left the united states I will always be American and I have been still working in the US for over 20 years and deal with mainly Americans on a daily basis from all over the State of Washington.  Depending on where you grow up or end up you should never see a border Seattle and Vancouver have more in common than Vancouver / Calgary in fact most Canadians don't care much for the other provinces.  After 30 years of being part of both countries, I can say that people are people both have great offerings and if you took the best of Canada and America to combine then we would all prosper, there is so much both can learn from each other.  Bottom line:I take the best of both worlds and what they have to offer, yes, I have found less expensive goods in Canada than what they cost in the states.  I have seen it from both eyes, and if you cant be open culturally then stay away.

Your home is south of the border bro. You aren't some refugee. Your an economic migrant and you'd be much better off going back to a place that speaks your language. Since you've never bothered to learn ours.

Dear everyone,\n\nWe need to love each other and stop tearing each other apart. In my heart, I know humanity is better than this. We need to talk with one another and try to understand each other's perspectives. Please don't divide ourselves. We can make this world a much better place if we learn to put our differences aside and work together. I truly want the best for humanity. Please don't hurt each other. Please come together as one so we may all progress in the future. Everyone makes mistakes, but we can learn from them and move forward. Spread the message of love and peace, not hate and division. Stay safe everyone! ❤

I thought being black in Canada ?? was so much better than being black in the United States ??. I had no idea......

If he had stayed in the US hre and his family would be locked up in a for profit prison being indefinitely detained. He should've gone to Canada the same way he came to America, under the radar. Even having lost his money he's not in jail so he's much better off.

He seems like an honest and good guy who just wants to provide for his family and ensure a better future and life for them. I can respect that fully and I admire that greatly.\n\nBut a big HA!! to all those looney liberals who don't know anything about Canada and think that everyone has it so much better over in the north. I'm from the U.S. and I LOVE both the U.S. and Canada, I do. Besides its looney lefty politics, Canada has some beautiful places to see, especially in British Columbia for me. However, Canada is just like the rest of the world; they have their problems, they have their crime, they have their poor and they have STRICT IMMIGRATION policies.

Hahaha....So much for false hopes n lies from Canadian PM....its better for Pres Trump telling the truth n he gets hated.....now the illegals know how 2 respect USA more from this story....

So you're accepted into the USA under a protection program, when it starts looking like your program is ending, you jump ship and start trying to ignore your program that your in that states you have to go home...\n\nThe mere fact that you're escaping to Canada shows you don't care about you immigration program and agreement, so why would we want to accept you? You'll just take as much as you can from our resources and economy and then jump ship the first chance you get, when you think there's a better oppurtunity.

Hold up! Hold up! Hold up a minute. Your going to tell me That these people who are willing to go through all these hardships and endure sooooo much for a better life are willing to do all this , But they are NEVER willing to learn the language of the country of which they wish to live in???? HMMMMM. NO FUCKING WONDER WE DON'T WANT THEM IN U.S.A!

CTV news is a communist propaganda. If you are so much concern about justice why don't you fight for the women wearing hijabs. Better, why don't you report on rapes in other countries committed by muslims? You are biased leftist news that best belong in toilet bowl.

There are just as many white haters as black haters. Both sides need an attitude adjustment. Yes slavery happened but illegal now .So what's next? So why do you need to teach children not to forget you came from slavery? If you keep looking to your past history how can you look to the future? Look forward to what you can do to better yourself? Why is s much weight put o n your horrible past. Get on with life.

And Canada has Pirate Cookie's that are much better than u.s Oreo cookies .. try a couple bags you will be sold on them

Call me whatever, but India has been dealing with this for a very long time, probably since 1980s. I dont hate islam but I dont love it either. Let's just say that I wouldnt buy a house in Muslim neighborhood. It has been a nuisance to India since a long time, every time we screamed in UN for help. We got shut down until the problem reached world wide. People say it started happening since Iraq and syrian war which is slightly incorrect. This problem has been there since ages prior to war, It just manifested on a high level recently. There are so many examples...This religion feeling which later turns into violence starts with your own house, your upbringing and your own values. If a kid is used to seeing his mom being suppressed then when he grows up, dont expect much from him. Now every community has this issue but in Muslim community it is engraved in you the moment you open your eyes on planet earth. You cannot defend the argument when someone says Women are suppressed in mulsim culture. The most hurtful thing happening is in UK. A country which gave you food, shelter, respect, a better life. You are trying to impose your values on it? As a matter of fact, good muslims should come out openly and boycott these terrorist who are trying to create chaos if they really want to show good intentions but you wont see any (for obvious reasons). They often cry about they being a victim but what about other people?? If all good muslim come out and boycott bad muslims then that would be a thing to appreciate and notice. In last you cant clap with one hand! Remember that.

I really miss Harper. He is much better than stupid Trudeau.

i love this show.so much better then the ones we have in the states.(dateline,20/20 ect)

this is a great show. I live in the NW in the USA and I have been to Canada a few times. I never realized how much racism was in Canada. My ignorance is bliss I guess, but it's still better than the racism here in the States.

geez that' equality for women-a brothers and sisters entrance to the mosque-cover your women etc....why not join our decadent Western society-it's more fun! Sit on the beach and drink a cold one...imbibe of the herb...you will feel so much better

I would very much like the muslims to tell us real Canadians what contributions that they are making to our country as a whole. How are they making life in Canada better? How are they bringing stability and growth to our country? They spend time teaching their silly little book to the people in their flock but nothing about Canada, our values, our hopes and aspirations for the country. The silly little book does nothing to further the common good of Canada. It only forwards the wants of the muslim community.\nAnd finally, religion is the bane of intellectual thought. No one and I mean no one, can know about the mind of a god that does not exist.

Keep Islam in Islamic countries. If it doesn't tolerate our lifestyle then keep it elsewhere. I don't think the Niqab should be legal. If we can't see your face then how do you get a job? How do you walk into a bank? How do you get identified at the airport? And why should we make changes to our way of life to accommodate these guys? Don't go to a new country and then make changes that fit you. You left your place because it was fucked up there and much better here. Why try to change the place that took you in? Assimilate or fuck off.

I'm also Canadian and moved to the USA to marry my (now) husband, and I definitely notice some major differences. I think much of this really depends on where you're living in the US. I spent most of my life in Ottawa, and now live in South Central Pennsylvania. I'm surrounded by hillbillies, haha. In some ways healthcare is better in the US - I have waited much less time for health care, and also if you're paying in cash for the doctor many places offer a discount here. And I hear you on Amazon Prime! I use it all the time here! Not to mention so many cool vegan foods I could never get in Canada are easily available here.

What are you going to do? French-Canadians once North America's most reliable baby makers since The Quiet Revolution are committing demographic suicide... Anglophones aren't much better... someone will replace them...

+Joe Smith explain? When you join a new country it's generally to start a better life. The moment an immigrant comes here they're as Canadian as I am. I'm no Native so what does the time matter? Immigrants sacrifice leisure time for work/school and other opportunities. People born in western countries do t appreciate what they have whereas immigrants can make magic happen with minimum wage. They work so much harder than an average westerner born and raised. No question.

Better them than us. Think about it. Muslims as a majority in Canada. That would be much worse for Canadian natives.

I find that with each generation, the issue with racism becomes slightly less and less, which is great considering slavery was abolished only for about 100 years. I find that living in Canada as a black millenial is much better then say living in the 70s. I never faced racism the entire time i grew up here. but then again I haven't been everywhere in Canada. I think the most you'll experience here right now is indirect racism in the small towns. but you just have to show them who you really are and most will be OK. I don't think a lot of the people still have the mindset left in the 1900s. especially not in the major cities where its so diverse. but there's racism everywhere no matter what you look like. I hope everyone can look past appearance and stereotypes some day.

Wearing the niqab in a western country is like saying - Thanks very much for taking me in & giving me a better life in your country but fu*k you & fuck your values & culture.. It's so rude. Integrate or go back to a muslim country.

Buddha is neither a creator, or o god or anything of the like, he was simply a man to realize what the underlying realioty is.\n\nIF muhammad would have been a prpßhet, he would been able to show you how to do the same.\nWouldnt it be so much better to REALIZE the truth, instead of following books?\nBut for you folks its impossible, because you cannot look anymore withe the pure eyes of a child.\nYou are indoktrinated. But to ralize the thruth, you hav t become free first.\nFree of anger, wishes fear.
