My friend dated a guy from Saudi. He leased a Mercedes for her and lived in a luxury apartment. Some foreigners are rich and do not mind bidding up prices.

bla bla bla do something rich man

The world is a nightmare with the greedy rich at fault

Another title for this video is rich people leave 1st world country because 1st world's problems

It is not a that coincident that people are worried and struggling while the rich have gotten substantially richer.

That’s rich

Zeees beoble are making us rich - sank you.

What the hell they have no homeland anymore its been destroyed rich guy

Its everywhere!! The rich are sucking the regular dry and NOONE WILL or DO ANYTHING about it!

Canada is losing it's middle class in order to cater to the richest of the rich... diversify Canada damn...spread the wealth around to all levels of business. Canada has a high failure rate for small business...100k less are starting businesses then from th 70s.

Poor indoctrinated Palestinians are fighting a proxy war against Israel for rich arab nations like Saudi and Gutter as per the teachings Of pis Slam.This problem will be solved when Palestinians realize this truth.

Housing is very cheap for those that bought and/or rented and stayed 15+ years ago. Rent controls keep rents cheap (for them) and people in place as they do not want to move and take a higher rent and/or higher mortgage payment. This hides the problem until you find yourself evicted , break up or some event forces you into the housing market and then you get clapped.\n\nThis is an issue around the world in most developed countries. This is because the rich have optimized the system. Basically if you compare the world economy to a game of Monopoly. Being a young person is like joining the game with your $200 of start money and going against the winning player that owns all the properties and basically won but has not yet driven everyone to bankrupt or a rage quit! \n\nRich people are finding the way to underdeveloped countries to take safe haven from the mess they caused, only to start the cycle all over again driving up land prices in placed like Mexico. We have an issue when the Canadian, Australian etc dream is to buy property, get renters and move to central / south America.

Israel: any Jew from any ethnicity is a welcome citizen\nArab word: Muslims, solve your own problems and not enter my oil rich lands.

Canada can't justify those price increases. The rich get richer, the middle class is struggeling. Who eventually will fill in those gaps?

Will the filthy rich Arab world pay to rebuild Gaza for their Muslim brothers & sisters ????

I have to disagree with some of the things mentioned in the video. 1. My home in Hong ‘Kong @ 500 sq feet costs the same as a townhouse in Stouffville Ont. that’s probably 1;500;sq ft not including basement; garage & front lawn. How’s that world’s worst housing crisis. Isn’t San Francisco much worse?. 2. Rich people who own housing or properties need to pay capital gain taxes or other taxes if vacant. Rich ppl would rather hide cash in shell companies/ offshore investments 3. lululemon is a Canadian company that’s known internationally and super successful worldwide 4. Americans need to pay for their own healthcare while Canada is completely free for all residents and citizens. It’s not the best but at least Canadians know where some of the tax money goes to

I live in Brazil and we have almost all these issues. Most of these problems happens because of systemic questions in all the country around the world, citys planning for cars, real estate market completely dominated for super riches and Great fortunes operating without any kind of control. Canada still is one of the best countries to live.

Its a myth to believe that people don't get special care in health system in Canada. The super rich still gets all the special treatment. Its just the cattle class that needs to wait for eternity to get an appointment. Better look for a vacation (If you don't have to pay with Kidney for airline ticket) in a different country including third world country, and get the treatment at the same time from a specialised hospital.

Saudi pretending to care, all the while hording gold and riches, buying weapons from the US, and wanting to normalize relations with Israel. Like a snake, they speak with a forked tongue.

Make room for the rich

This isn't meant to be racist or anti immigrant, but i must point out that this entire situation you're describing is worse for Canadian born Canadians that don't have roots anywhere else. About 50 years ago, the recently deceased Henry Kissinger went to China at the behest of David Rockefeller to open up manufacturing in the country and to use US construction firms to build China into a modern society with modern infrastructure. They also took all of the manufacturing sectors that were created, perfected and relied upon by the North Americans and handed them over to foreign countries they were developing into the modern economic powerhouses they are now. \nNow that we're poor and have no manufacturing sectors to sustain a healthy middle class anymore, we welcome people from the countries who received our manufacturing sectors and have prospered greatly from it to our countries where they continue to make things here economically worse by making us compete with nouveau rich foreigners for our limited housing and infrastructure. Again, im not blaming the average citizen, North American or not. I am strictly blaming billionaires who think they have the right to control the world for their own benefit. But at least you have an economically rising country that is affordable to live in that you can retreat to at anytime. People with only a Canadian passport do not have that option.

Come on. Saudi has been secret BFFs with Israel since 9/11. This filthy rich Saudi can't even send a bottle of water to Gaza

Nice politics … country only for the rich … and why are immigrants actually mostly broke ?

As a European who lived for 3 years in Canada, I have to say that Canadians - as much as I love them - are very entitled. They live in a bubble and don't realise how good they have it. \n\nTheir country is beautiful, the lifestyle is phenomenal even if you aren't rich. A lot of things they complain about like rising house prices, food costs, and political divide is literally happening everywhere - I'm really not sure why they think only Canada is struggling with this right now. Perhaps because on their strong currency they can go and live like Kings in somewhere like Portugal or Bali, but then they don't realise that they are bringing over the cost of living crisis and making things harder for locals when they do that. \n\nThey want things to be perfect, which isn't something to discourage but they don't realise how much harder life is like in most other countries on the planet. The only ones who appreciated it were the people who had lived for a few years in the UK or Paris or Australia, or somewhere else they imagined that life was easier and then ended up actually miserable and actually struggling - and then soon fly back to Canada. I have to say though I do love the sense of always wanting things to be better, whilst in Europe we tend to accept having less, less options and struggle to the extent that we don't even see it as struggle.

Arabs are very rich one thing they cannot afford is to accept Palestinians

Canada is not particularly unique. It’s exactly the same as what’s been happening in most “prosperous” nations such as the UK, US, Australia etc. They’ve become oligopolies and it’s only the very rich that just get richer. It’s got NOTHING to do with immigration, which is what right wing regressives want you to think.

I live in Seattle, have come to Vancouver BC plenty of times and see way nicer amount of cars all over. Is the reality different than all these videos of how harsh life in Canada can be or is Van just a playground for the rich?

Canada is a great country. Many rich countries around the world have their issues. Population here is booming. If you want to leave for greener pastures good for you. For every person who wants to leave terrible Canada you will be able to find 10 who would love to come here. Proudly born and raised here. ??♥️

Saudi bloodbrothers same jews israil..because israel give them money? to rich..t1

Canada needs to tax the rich and spend less on military and subsidising oil corporations, but Canadians continue to elect right-wing governments that keep the status quo intact. Pity.

Many cash rich investors from Ukraine, Russia, Israel, and China. The first three well known as to where their money is coming from and why they are fleeing war torn regions. Most of Ukraine and Israel is funded by US government institutions but Russia’s emigrants have left Russia due to disagreements with how Russia is being administered. China mainlanders parking investing money into Canada in order to cater for future immigration and future education needs for their kids and others that wish to follow.\n\nCanada, like Hawaii, Miami, and Las Vegas are experiencing overinflated housing investors willing to pay the asking cost for the real estate. Like the rest of the planet, many of the newer generation tend to flock to warmer regions of the planet. The other areas that experience the housing Price shocks are places also where foreign students tend to flock to, especially those from Asian nations like China.\n\nCanada’s BC Vancouver, Edmonton, Manitoba, and Calgary tend to cater to willing Indian, Pakistani, Central Asian, Hong Kong Chinese, Singapore, Japanese, Malaysian, and Taiwanese parents willing to spend big money to educate their kids in Canadian English language programs that the Canadian governments organized with educators. \n\nSpending well over five figures a year in order to educate these young kids to grasp English and eventually have a pathway to citizenship like South Africa’s Elon Musk. The CCP was Party to these programs till Xi’s second term of rule and the huge budget deficits occurring due to the transference of Chinese domestic spending happening overseas especially in Canada and Australia caused the CCP to stop this growing deficit in household spending within the Chinese domestic economy. They couldn’t allow these newly minted millionaires to raise their kids like elite CCP party members families and friends. \n\nThey tried to stop it, but the Canadian taxpayers raised complaints about soaring property, and income taxes to their politicians and it’s slowed this process down but loopholes still exist and it is still occurring. \n\nThe top party leaders of China sending their kids to expensive European and USA institutions such as Xi’s children especially his Harvard / Oxford educated daughter, whose fiancée is a British citizen involved in all trades, China’s evolving EV industries! Move on over Elon, a new competitors in town due to some big connections within the CCP party.\n\nCanada housing is overinflated for the next several decades.

Canadas so bad now All the rich upper class racists don’t even wanna be here y is my first generation immigrant ass still living/working here akin to bein a second class citizen especially when u realize most service jobs and generally shitty positions are filled by ppl that look like me instead of just a mix rly says a lot when every worker at a time is a underplayed overworked colored person getting fucked over by our fucked workforce and dying economy

Canada is the second largest country in the world with a population of only 40 million Resource rich and sharing the longest border in the world with the richest country we could easily be the wealthiest country per capita on earth … truly astonishing how canada has managed to become so poor inefficient and stagnant. Quite the accomplishment!

Even when it is an very rich moslim country with a lot of space they never seem to care about moslim refugees. I am not only speeking about refugees from. Gaza

United States never took in the Israelis in the start or early days they chose the Nazi German Scientists if you go back to history and look at the evidence. The Israelis snuck into America the same way they snuck into Palestine with England as a backup force in 1948. But before that the Palestinians felt bad for them so they allowed them to live side by side there in Palestine but the Israelis saw that Palestinians had the rich land so they killed them and took that from them and everything else just as the Pilgrims did to the American Indians. How can Columbus or Amerigo Vespucci discover America when the Indians were already here lol

I don't blame them for leaving. They were mislead into coming to Canada thinking that they could get rich easily, but instead found out the cost of living was too high for them. So be warned ahead of time immigrants, if you want to live in Canada, you must have alot of money, or you're going to literally die in the freezing cold.

CANADIAN GOVERNMENT STARTED SELLING CANADA TO CHINA BILLIONAIRES DECADES AGO WORSEN NOW DESTROYED THE CANADIAN LIVES...FOREIGN FROM CHINA RICH! MOST CANADIANS POOR LIVING ON THE POVERTY LINE!!!

The thing Canadians haven’t ever figured out is rich people create jobs for poorer people and that builds a bigger economy and better lifestyle for everyone. Canadians love to attack success, thinking that pulling down the rich makes it “more fair” for everyone. It’s actually the opposite. Canadians have an immature, teenage like view of life built on false idealization. Numerous studies of countries and social systems have proven, help your citizen get rich and you will make everything better for everyone. Stop trying to tax and spend, or attack success and money to redistribute it to the poor. Failure thinking and action to the max.

Arguing in a western language to showcase their rich Indian culture & manners?

The western world wants palastinan to leave why because that is their agenda zionist and American wants that land desperately for the project they intend to use gas and oil that ghaza is rich for just like they did in Iraq and Libya they destroyed this countries in the name of being terrorist state this is the lies they used for many years

Zionists journalist asking illiterate question Saudi should spend billions of Allah Subhantallah oil n gas money for the Muslim ummah on Palestinians and on the holy lands same for all other rich Arab nations.

The Arab nations spokesman gives STUPID answer. They should send their army to protect the Palestinians. But they don't because they are very scared of Israelis Netanyahu. Netanyahu is the Mastermind who making Arab nations to be rich today.

Oil rich nations will never receive any poor muslim refugees because they know these people will cause problem. Lol. The evident is so clear.

I came to Canada as a teen back in the early 80s, and can say the the problem with Canada is it's a small country pretending to be large.\nSmall population, large land mass. So we bring in more immigrants, most of which are low value.\nMost companies don't manufacture or do R&D here. They just cell into a small market. Large land, small population will not support efficient supply chain based business. Telecom, insurance, and many businesses charge high fees, due to small market.\nWe stick our nose in world affairs that have little to do with us. China, Europe, and the middle east.\nOur economy can support some amount of population effectively, so why grow beyond what we can support.\nWe should be like Norway. Healthy rich economy, small population, no issues.\nNo we have to pretend we are the US, or Germany or China.\nThat's what's wrong

But the Saudis and other oil rich Arab nations aren’t doing enough to change the plight of Palestinians despite the fact they can help them get education and technology to become an independent nation.

Well The answer was brilliant however is there any history of Petro Dollar Rich Arab countries ever taking any refugees? Not saying permanently allowing them but temporarily ever? Nahh... Nope... Never..

? smart guy. They refuse to help their atab brothers. They don't want Palestinians in their country these rich group of elites

Rich country with poor people these days

The rich araba need to take of their refugees.

Wow the Palestinians seem so modern and rich in culture compared with these money men. Free the Mediterranean, free the world!!!
