Salam alaykum!! As a Jewish “cousin” living in the Southern US, I can definitely appreciate your concerns, especially those related-to the cold, inflation, religious observance, indoctrination, and an over-bearing government…. Assuming that they would be supportive and good role models, are your children’s grandparents still alive? Would living near them be an option? Are any uncles, aunts, and cousins available at any potential locations? Suggestion: Some dear friends sold their dream home and left their long-time friends last year to move across the country to live in a property that they had inherited. These friends eventually admitted that they were MISERABLE in their new location and now (12-14 months later) have returned to their “home state.” Unfortunately, their choices have turned-out to be very “costly” in many ways….. Since your children are involved, you may want to consider giving any potential location a 6-12 month “test run” before making an “official” decision….. Prayers and best wishes as you consider your options!! ❤️

I'm sorry to hear that you wish to leave Canada. I understand the problem with winters. I think inflation is a world problem that you can not escape. I don't believe that the government is doing anything more than trying to be inclusive to all of the 'others' of our society but then I am an old man living in a very isolated place. My children were raised Muslim but not of the 5 prayers a day. My disappointment with the Canadian government's and opposition's stance regarding the genocide in Gaza is huge and it is the best reason you have given. Canada as with Germany in Namibia has its own problems living up to the genocides we have committed in the past. If you go to Malaysia I hope you become sensitive to the 'others' that live in that country.

That is why we have noise bylaws here in Canada, we don't want cars etc. honking horns constantly like in some countries. Same with loud speakers. I find church bells and someone on a motorcycle or a firetruck, while i'm trying to sleep at night bad enough. We had an ice cream truck here in eastern Ontario not allowed to play their music due to a complaint, which i think is overboard. But there is a reason for noise bylaws. Like i'm not allowed to blast Rock Music in my yard or apartment, i'd have the police show up due to a noise complaint. Great video, thanks for sharing, i wish you both and your children well, take care, wishing you all the best on your journey :)

I always tell my children, the west is fun for holidays, but for living nothing is better than home or if not possible seek for a warm eastern country with large communities of your own.

Seasonal Affective Disorder is so real. Prayers your move goes smoothly! I have many friends who are Muslim and they tell me how hard it is to live their faith in Canada. I am sad that Canada has such anti-Muslim sentiment. I respect your decisions. What could be more honorable than making sure your children grow up in safety??? I wish I could say it is not happening in my country (USA), but it does. And our government is the best government money can buy (ie corruption).

Beautiful couple...I think I hear children shrieks in the background?\nI love you! My Heart Goes out to you.\nI understand the disapointment you feel...especially concerning the Last point.

Kudos to all Indians who r living happy nd jolly life in Canada here in India is Miserable to live..i hope ur children's also do well in future.??

Canada is an Oligarchy of a few companies that dominate telecommunications, food, energy, medical services( billion $ hospitals)and banking. It is heavily regulated with government unions at all levels of government. Most of these are anti-business and over employed by taxpayer money and service based (ie 3 police cars showing up to a fender bender). The real estate industry manipulating pricing so you have homes selling at double the purchase price every 8 years. All this leads to higher prices. Now you have adult children living with their parents.

The only thing I agreed with you is the price of housing in large cities. Canada is still a great country if one is willing to work. I maybe living in a cocoon, all my friends and my children’s friends are doing ok with their jobs and finances. The really uneducated and uninspired would suffered just like in any other country. Canada is not perfect, but I rather be here than anywhere else. Btw, I am 70 years old and have been here for 60 years.

Completely agree….all family values have been lost. Women walk around half naked, covered in tattoos, piercing , 5 children with 4 different men , some are not able to name the child’s father because it was a “one night stand”, boyfriends, girlfriends, drugs, abuse, not talking to parents, distant from siblings, leaving small children behind “due to a depression” , not having money for children’s food but having for drugs and alcohol, etc. Once any society loses family values, it loses everything. Christmas has become “the shopping holiday”, sins are not okay only in Churches , etc. It is too late to repair anything anymore …too late.

What nasty comments on here. These people seem respectable. They just choosing to relocate fir what they believe is a good thing for their children

Can you imaging living as a Christians living in a Muslim country and complaining there are no Churches ,good luck ,but I do agree about the transgender and corrupting the children morality.

Interesting! Making an announcement that you're leaving a country and going to another country before you decided which country you want to go, looks a bit impetuous. Also leaving Canada and going to another Muslim country where literally 99.9% people are trying to go the opposite way makes me think this announcement is premature. \nAlso, I know lot of people that made an attempt to go to India from US/Canada for reasons of not wanting to raise the children in Western Culture. Among them about 90% came back to the West in less than two years. In my estimate it's even more difficult in the Islamic countries except Turkey and Dubai (which one may question if are even Islamic). \nAnyway, if you succeed and were actually able to settle, you're in the tiniest percentage of the people who were able do that; not a small feat! Anyway, best of luck!

Snow, cold weather and worrying about your children's future...I hear ya! Everything else, I wish you luck.

Please reconsider your decision to move to a new country. It's crucial to understand that, despite seeming alignment with your beliefs, these countries often have significant issues with freedom of speech and prevalent discrimination. Your children might struggle with the loss of certain freedoms and grow up resenting this decision.

Hi Brother / Sister ( SALEH's Family ) Well, your decision to leave Canada is good & courageous ... specially for the sake of your children. Your story is absolutely true , because you are not alone to face this facts. Many other families also are preparing / or are already left this country for some reasons as yours.....But now my very QUESTION to you , may looks quite embarasing & difficult ....Where are you going to find really a GOOD place ( a Paradise Country ) to live a happy life ? .... well by now, in this year 2024, there are WARs everywhere. There are MAD / CRAZY people everywhere. Our planet Earth is full of EVILS .... Well, I mean , You & me / everybody are living in the same boat ....sailing on a very BAD sea. The Evil Spirits are now present in almost all societies ( The Corrupt Governments / bad Politicians / bad Educations / attacking Churches or bad Health care system . No security & dangerous people everywhere) etc .....By now, the only place, You can find a little happiness to live a Safe & peaceful life, is in CHINA . Bye & God bless you all .....( John NG )

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 ❤

You mentioned you are worried about hate crimes against your children as Muslim, unfortunately it is the same for Christians in Arab countries.

So including the children? They also don't want to leave? Nonsense

Word of caution, in regards to climate , too hot is worse than too cold.....if you end up somewhere without air-conditioning , it is going to be much worse then having access to heating in winter.....been there , so I know :) Another comment, try to separate religion from politics,. If you were born in Canada, you might not be fully aware of the difference between democratic and non-democratic societies. Religion only is not enough to make you happy, and having two girls and willing to risk their rights, require at least a conversation with someone that knows more about it. I have my own experiences and it seems to me that you idealize societies in which these rights are non-existent . You are right, Canada has become a very different country than it was when I first got here, but is still far cry from where you are planning to go. Beware of things that people are not saying , and have your due diligence done for the sake of your children.

Is there Age limit for children that can come with you?

For me It's 100% the authoritarian government and the anti- religious, anti-human policies being shoved down our throats and taught to our children instead of core reading and writing.

Choose a country where your children will not be influenced by the glitz and glamour. Eg. Dubai..as it is very superficial.

I don’t understand why the Arab world don’t put pressure on Palestine to release the women and children they stole from Israel.

I really like you guys... even though I'm not a big fan of islam. I think you are making a very wise decision to move to an islamic nation. So you can feel free to raise your children and worship how you want. I would probably choose Dubai as the opportunities are endless there. Good Luck. Inshallah frens!

I have to move country as a survivor of the abusive children's homes in Ireland but don't know which o e to go to

While my ideological views may be different I am in complete agreement on your moving out of the sh*t hole once known as the Great White North.\nI live in the Philippines now, and my wife and I both discussed this as we watched your video. My wife, a Filipina. She said when the Truckers Convoy was brutally shut down Canada changed for the worst permanently.\nI agree, my heart no longer bleeds for the country I served loyally and faithfully in the RCAF and I know the globalist ideology has overtaken the country. It is systemic throughout all levels of government.\nYour children deserve a better life and you can always come back to visit Canada and her Majestic beauty.

A lot of muslims leave my country as well.The downside: after a few years they come back with more children and a partner.

As a born and raised Canadian I made the decision to flee my homeland of 42 years the moment that the current regime came to power in 2015. I ended a highly successful, well-paid 20+ year career, sold everything I owned and was gone within six months. I am not a religious person, so that did not factor into my decision, though I knew what was coming since I had lived for years as a member of a minority that was constantly demonized by former Liberal rulers for decades.\n\nI completely understand your reasons for leaving and wish you all the best. Canada was a great place to grow up in and I wouldn't trade that experience for the world, but to say that it is now going through a process of state-funded and engineered societal decay would be an extreme understatement. It breaks my heart to see what's become of my once wonderful nation, but I've resolved to treat it like a deceased parent who lives on in fond memories, but is never coming back.\n\nI hope you find the ideal sanctuary for you and your children away from the madness plaguing the world these days and I am eager to see where your journey takes you. Best wishes.

I also feel that your decision is the right one. When people move to another country they are expected to adapt to the general culture of that place. And Islam is not really compatible with Canadian values. For the sake of your children it will be better to raise them in an Islamic country. As an aside: the Canadian government does not support the war itself in Gaza, they just are against the gruesome massacre of October 7 (a true genocide by classic definition), and consider the fact that the war was forcibly brought upon Gaza by that event.

Came to Canada 1980, raised a family in our multi cultural/faith/democratic system, contributed to our multi cultural/faith/democratic system, my 3 children now contribute successfully into our multi cultural/faith/democratic system, we all are in the majority and you both are in the minority.\nGood luck in your search for an Islamic republic to suit your wants. .... Bye!.

I understand what your saying but CANADA is a still peaceful country. Just follow your religion and teach your children what you believe and value. Kids run around freely just move to a better neighborhood or city .

Its still so shamless that parents arent parents anymore nowadays they are educated fools.\nthey arent teaching their children how to behave, but taking their sides.\n\n\nYea, anyone will be annoyed if anyone kicks your seat. Such people shouldnt travell in flights at all. You can travel via Genrel coach in Indian railways.

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.

I have to congratulate you. If you want to be muslim and raise your children muslim and dress muslim you should live in a muslim country. I salute your decision and your reasons for it

You both should not have waited this long to exit? Have children in the environment you recent? That must be awful torturing to your family. Where do you plan to settle ? Dubai? Pakistan? Malaysia? Salam from Indonesia here. I love Canada though.

The Liberal Government (with the help of the NDP) caused the inflation. Also they normalized obscene parts of the culture and telling us how to raise children. Check out Dubai and Malaysia.

I'm new to your channel, but you seem good people, and it's your full right to protect your kids from a school system that brainwashes children with the gender theory. The West is going down a road that many of us don't like, and moving is a recurring thought. As a Christian who has travelled extensively and also in Muslim countries, I can witness that I have always been very welcome, but I know that fitting in as an immigrant is difficult, if you don't have a family there. Probably, the UAE is the best option.

{ As parents have your children been asked if they feel like they are a different gender? It’s happening in USA :(

I wish i could muslim country too and enjoy all the privileges i have. I am a a Queer muslim and it was not easy. I am very appreciative of the opportunity that is given to me in the west and not being judged at a work place how i may appear. I am glad you made this video and making the best decision for your family. Even as queer peeson i am supporting drag queen story tiem but you made it sound like it is happening every library and every where. I only read it in news paper and never actually saw it in reality. Leaving Canada doesn't do anything for supporting for Palestinians. You could have used your voice and voting power in support of Palestinians. I do understand it may be best for your children. Again i wish i had what you have.

With due respect to your decision I think even the Muslim countries are facing the same problem. I live in Bangladesh which is a 92 percent Muslim majority country. But it is sometimes hard to practice islam here. Education system has been turned into something which is contradictory to our believe. School books for children teaches that LGBT is not a bad thing etc. Things are pretty bad when in Saudi Arabia concerts are arranged.

I m an Indian Christian, born and raised in Malaysia. My homeland. We are a nation of different cultures. Malay, Chinese and Indian. These are the 3 Major race but we are called Muslim country. We live in peace and harmony. Everyone has their rights to believe in their faith and live peacefully together here. Inflation is bad here too but still affordable. For expats, If you want to migrate to Malaysia, make sure you get high wages in USD and a company that will renew ur contract. You can't be citizen but you can apply for PR.. but the process is not that easy. Some of my friends who are expats still live here after 15 years without a PR. Our country is small so it's not easy to get it. Your children can get into International schools or home schools WITH UK IGCSE SYLABUS TOO... its just pricy a little. Other than that, Malaysia is a beautiful Tropical country with beautiful and friendly people to live with. Malaysia truly Asia. ❤

I think this is a wonderful idea. I truly feel most Muslims would be happier living in Muslim countries. Muslims who come to Western countries, and want to try to change them, are fighting a loosing battle and it just makes it so unpleasant for everyone. The two cultures do not mix at all, so unless you can, or want, to assimilate into the society….. it is always better to move to the place that fees like home, and has the values you want to pass on to your children. I wish more Muslims in the Western nations would take your lead. Best of luck to you on your journey.

Seriously fuck off religious people They say they are appalled? Absolutely bollocks! I worry for my children and yours! Please England open your eyes before it's to late!! Stop thinking you don't want to upset people! Religion doesn't care for you and your family! Remember the 80s 90s! The jam? Wham! Ect stupid example but we are getting taken over!!!! Our government is has and is shit 20 +years!!! If you vote this election! Will be my second time voting!!Reform ?sounds stupid! But if you care about England you and your family vote!!! Please guys ♥️other wise our country children and us lot are fucked

Quick note: it’s not your children’s choice to wear hijab. You want to encourage them as much as possible but if you give them the choice (especially in the west) they might not wear it. Nothing wrong with gently forcing them to do it with wisdom.

I hope you are happy moving to a Muslim country. Canada will get worse. Get your children out of there!!!

they will end up in one of the sanctuary states, kicking children out of their tax payer funded schools and utilized as illegal housing. I fucking hate our government.

Your position is fully understandable. Especially for the children, it is best to leave .... Good luck in your next endeavour.

We live in Houston, Texas, where the culture is more conservative. Parents are not told how to raise their children, cost of living is still relatively good, and being Muslim (wife wears hijab) hasn't been as challenging as other places. \n\nPlenty of Muslims from all over, mosques, Islamic schools, halal food, etc too. \n\nMy parents moved my siblings and I from Los Angeles to Karachi, when I was 12. Not so much for religious reasons, more homesickness. After a miserable 15 yrs, I moved back to the US. \n\nI'm not trying to dissuade you guys. Wanted to share a few key things to help your transition:\n1. Pilot it out. Move to Istanbul for 6 months, then maybe Kuala Lumpur for another 6 months, etc. Test out each location. Inflation is everywhere. Not all Islamic countries are Islamic. But you have to experience it first hand. \n2. Take LOTS of money. A decent life outside the first world means you're loaded. \n3. Build connections where ever you go. The things we take for granted are luxuries elsewhere. Water, electricity, gas. Connections help you get what you need, sometimes for a price. \n4. Schools will be underwhelming. If you can homeschool, cool. \n5. If you start a business, go solo. Don't partner up with others. \n\nIn any case, hope it works out inshaAllah. Who knows, we may be neighbors!

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.
