I hear Gaza is nice at this time of year and they have nice beaches. Enjoy!

So happy to hear you have finally made this decision! If you're still considering exactly where to relocate to, I would recommend Gaza. I've heard Khan Younis is quite warm in the winter.

Born and raised Catholic Canadian and I would move to a country that was more aligned with my faith if I could, though that is hard to find! I will stay and enjoy the small community that we have built with my fellow Parishioners. \nI am sorry to hear you feel you aren’t safe here or your children. We may disagree on religion but we can certainly live harmoniously. Good luck on your future endeavours ❤

I have hears bc is hard ro makw friends i lived here my entire life and i dont see it ? Maybe if youre an introvert its harder? My only issue is many of my friends move away or they are here temporarily. I rotate between circles but i also enjoy new people so i dont stick to the same 4 friends. Not sure if other countries are different ? \nI do tend to disappeae but i always return my closw friends all do this as well. We may not see you always but we do pop back up.

No country is a utopia. We typically hear about what all the wonderful things a place supposedly has, then you learn the whole story. The best way to really learn about a country is to read or watch books or movies meant for the locals, where they typically describe problems that occur, such as crime, corruption, social mores and such.

It's great that you are leaving. I'll drive you to the airport for free! You could go to Somalia as I hear it's a great Muslim country. Good luck.

I hear Gaza is great during the winter. Slm

One less a....le f . \nSo happy to hear that you decided to leave Canada

LOL.. some most likely was surprised to hear the PM of Saudia Arabia expressed himself clearly and in polite English!

Liberals. Need to go,they bring people from over seas house them put them on buses to hotels while homeless people go without...tax payers money...i hear convoys for liberals out,as Canadians need to take back the land ...government suck

What was that, they have a lie and not a right? Did I hear correctly?

Excellent Idea,..., I hear Afghanistan has better weather, cheaper food, a better Islamic environment, and a lower cost of living. Please spread the word ...

As a Chinese Canadian, I hear you. They've been doing it to the Muslims since well beforer 2001. And now that China is an economic threat to US and Western hegemony, they are doing it to China. I'm glad the anti imperialists understand this. Solidarity with the Muslims from China and ethnic Chinese everywhere.

No offence but I don’t need to hear your reasons. Just go if you think it’s so bad here . I don’t think we’ll be worse off for it.

Didn't hear you mention the worst part about Toronto, TRAFFIC. Absolute gridlock everywhere. The most congested streets and highways in North America, and 3rd worst in the world!

Imagine hearing the noise in early morning, oh no pls.

au revoir. You're wearing a Free Palestine hat, and you expect everyone to embrace you after Oct.7. \nI hear Gaza is nice at this time of the year. Check it out.

You cant expect to live in a nation that is not islamic to hear call to prayer 5 times a day....if thats what you desire then you would need to move to an islamic nation and allow Canadá to be canada and no be converted to islam

There are lots of Muslim countries to choose from. Choose one of them. It's unlikely that you will find decent healthcare. Freedom of speech or welfare help during a bad patch. You may also have to pay for your children education. But there wil be lots mosques. You will hear the call to prayer. Just remind me how many Christain Churches are there in muslim countries. The UK has long cold wet winters. You would hate it here.

Sorry to hear this from you. You are right, Islamaphobia is a big problem here as you can see by the comments.

Glad to hear! Bye-bye

Good riddance, go already.\nDon't let the door hit you...\nI hear S Arabia is a nice HOT place for you.

Why do non Muslims need to hear the call to prayer for a religion we don’t want

Move to Gaza I hear the government is great there. Probably aligns closer with your values and religion anyways. Canada doesn't need anymore ungrateful entitled people anyways we have maxed out on that.

im cool with muslims but religion is for the low info people. No one want to hear splurting out of speakers 5x a day. Free Palestine!

I see your point in coming to the decision to relocate, it makes sense to me. Everyone should be able to have a right to their beliefs. I’m being honest here, what about my rights? My right to have my window open so I can let fresh air come in once in a while. I am not able to enjoy my peace and quiet, instead I’m forced to listen to loud prayers singing out loud from the Muslims all around me now. I don’t want to hear it. What are my rights? Anyone? ?

Stumbled across this video. Impressed with how well you guys articulate. I hear your reasons, but can't say I agree with all of them

I am a South African and today more than ever, I can say I am a proud South African. \nIt is not always all sunshine and roses. ? Well, actually it is sunshine. At least 300 days of the year.\nI don't live in an Islamic state but in my country we make provision for all religions and cultures. \n1.7% of the population is made up of people of islamic religion. That is more than 1million muslims living here. 78% are Christians. We have Mosques, halaal food in nearly every city and Islamic schools in certain areas where there is a higher populations of muslims.\n\nFor the muslims who prefer to attend a normal school, provision is made for islamic cultural and religious events within these schools.\n We hear the Athaan 5 times a day. In fact we hear it so often that we dont hear it anymore. It has become part of who we are as a nation. We hear the church bells ring. This reminds us of who we are. I live opposite a Jewish cemetery that has a synagogue. With religious events we cant get out of our drive ways because of the congestion if traffic due to this. But we still respect and understand. \nWe have a very diverse culture and most of us respect the diverse cultures.\nI live in Cape Town and would not want to live anywhere else. \nGood luck with your journey and follow your heart.

I hope that all other Muslims like you leave soon ?, glad to hear that you're leaving. Canada is for people who believe in Western values. If someone can't live in it, then yep, just leave

Move to Russia guys I hear it's great. And they support Palestine!!!

There will be many people clapping & cheering to hear you are leaving Canada!

Hum ... you ll never adapt outside of Canada im afraid from what Im hearing. You ll run back after 3 months if Canada lets you back in.

Glad to hear that and I hope rest of f!lth would leave soon!

You seem like a very pleasant couple who may be making the right decision to move to a country where you feel more comfortable. The Middle East is an obvious choice and I hope you are very happy wherever you settle. Canada will be the poorer without you. Your use of (is it Arabic?) other language phrases leaves one wondering what you are saying... You speak of hate crimes against Muslims, which is obviously despicable, yet there seem to be many such crimes perpetrated by people of your Faith against others who are not believers in Islam - the massacre of Christians in Nigeria is one example. I am sure you find such atrocities abhorrent and it would have been reassuring to hear you mention such instances. Regards from Blighty :).

Sorry too hear :(. Please don’t come too western Canada. We are full of eastern liberals. Maybe New York would be a better fit. Good luck

You never hear of Muslims supporting Christians in the Muslim countries. Muslims never condemn atrocities against Christians in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Palestine or Pakistan. Saudi Arabia only accepts millions of Christians as foreign workers. Why? Yet they won't employ the millions of unemployed Muslim Arabs. That is why Europe is overrun with millions of Muslim refugees. I've heard many stories of Muslim parents relocating to Qatar or the UAE so their children can get an Islamic education. Then their children marry local Arabs and then move back to Western countries for financial reasons. Many of their offspring become radicalised against Western culture.

4:02 even in flats you hear every moving activity happening in the house above yours. 4:24 not just in Canada but everywhere in west you have to DIY everything

Ur point 2 .. was nice to hear that non muslim can have his choice.. veiws.. opinion..\n\nIn India.. muslims says follow our Sharia our rules.. or u kafirs go away

I keep seeing about how bad canada is supposed to be right now. That's unfortunate but at least I don't have to keep hearing Canadians gloat about how great it is up there. I knew you mfs were lying.

I live in Canada ,so far for 29 years , I have never seen , inflation/government spendings of this level , i have friends and coworkers whom were born here and what I hear from them about inflation in 80s wasn't that bad at all.

It should be interesting to hear what you think after a while if you choose to move to an Islamic country. Wish more Muslims followed your example and moved out of Canada.

I've been in Ottawa for 8 years (2007-2015), and was was a great period of my life. It's sad to hear that Canada has deteriorated that bad. Any how, if I were you, I would think of Malaysia.

I hear its nice in Palestine

I’m very proud to hear that there’re people who are willing to make sacrifices for their principles

Ok well thought out reasons so it’s time to leave go! It will be interesting to hear where you go. We don’t want Canada to change to your way of life and you don’t want to change our way of life either. You did say Canada gave you opportunity but if you can’t give back and want do nothing but change it your way of you can here for the wrong reasons. I wish you luck but good bye but don’t come back,

So sorry to hear that you are being attacked for wearing a hijab. Hijab should be a perfectly acceptable clothing. I admire you for moving to a muslim country to live within your own moral ststem instead of wanting to change the culture of a christian country. Good luck to you guys.

I hope it worked out for you man… as a Canadian, I can say that as much as Canadians love to pretend like we’re super open and welcoming, that’s largely not the case. I’ve witnessed some really disgusting treatment of immigrants first hand, and I have a lot of friends/ coworkers who are immigrants from Latin America and the Middle East, and I’ve heard a lot from them about the micro aggressions that they get from Canadians everyday, the dirty looks they get when speaking their native languages in public, and the immense pressure to assimilate. What you were saying about feeling like you’re always reminded that you’re an outsider in Australia, I also hear that a lot from immigrants here in Canada… I hope that Canada can be a better place for you, and you can feel more at home here, but the u fortunate truth is that the idea that Canadians just welcome immigrants with open arms and that everyone is welcome here is largely a myth… a lot of Canadians unfortunately are just xenophobic, racist, nationalistic dickheads and they’re not shy about it

Wishing you and your family the best. I think, these decisions should not be advertised, I truly hope viewers do not get influenced by your decision and take rash decisions. I have lived in ME, visited far east.. these countries have issues. Yes you hear the Azan 5 times, if you pray in North America facing hurdles, you get ajar, lets not forget this. Children who live here are taught how to live like a Muslim in North America and build on it. That is thrown away and you live in a country where you are judged by the color of your skin, your race etc

LOVE this channel! I’d LOVE to hear more about your days at Singapore Airlines! I love your perfect English and voice❤.

Not hearing Adhan is one of the hardest part of living in Canada for me…?
