As someone who has lived in Canada for the last 8 years, things have really gone downhill in many ways. I agree with you on so many levels in regards to what has happened to Canada. \nBtw, you reminds me of Robin in How I Met Your Mother so much!

As a Canadian who married an Indian immigrant and lived in India for 4 years I can say that yes we have a lot of problems here in Canada but it's not comparable to the problems in India

Canada is RAPIDLY becoming a 3rd world country

The racists are out in force on this one. \n\nClassy as ever Canada.

Alina, Canada will recover gradually, I hope all people who left Canada will have chance to come back home

As a canadian\n\nI make $23.50 an hour. With the cost of everything going up from inflation and mass immigration, I have less money now than I did making $18 an hour 4 years ago\n\nWelcome to canada, help yourself to our beautiful drug filled cities\n\nBtw my town was safe for me to walk around in past dark as a kid, good fucking luck doing that now

Canada & the UK both seem to have doomed themselves by allowing massive immigration without sufficient new housing.

Well it's expensive to you, because you don't have a regular paying Canadian job. That is not really a commentary on Canada, in general.

It is unlikely that Canada has an appetite to correct its issues within 50 years. And perhaps never.

Canada is f*cked. Good luck out there.

I'm retiring this month. Trudeau has literally destroyed the Canada that I loved and cherished and having lived in 5 provinces. Thinking of leaving also where quality of live, affordability, safety and access to health care is not an issue like Portugal for example. We are being taxed to death in Canada.

Call it packi canada now...too many damn packis here now ...speak proper English you useless crap

My dear, you have Justin Trudeau to thank for Canada's woes as we have Joe Biden to thank here in America.

I left Canada in 1996 as it WAS expensive then

None of the people in this story should be in Canada.

Priviet Alina - you are spiritual, smart, fun and incredibly beautiful. I am also not happy to see what Canada has become, more than economically our society is divided on so many levels. Spacibah for all that you have done for us, quite an inspiration.

The trouble is... where in the world do you go to escape the madness? I came to Canada in 2000 from my birth country the UK to escape the big state, globalist EU... Canada was great & they sold a proud national identity which is important to me... not any more!

It pays to be a criminal in Canada now?

Alina vi ponimaete chto to chto proisxodit in Canada, eto global'naja problema....ja vam iskrenne zhelau to chto vi iwite ......tot kto prosit tot poluchaet

Very surprised at the comments… shes leaving bc her buisness isnt successful online in a country that taxes them. Many countries dont tax businesses income in this way?? . Ppl here keep trying to call non jobs jobs. A fulltime or pt, all supporting financially, get to make my own hours and only work more when they decide. Etc. Its not actual reasons a professional business moves. They want an untraditional workspace AND they just put the canada social/culture changes in there to mention its what she appreciated about canada and now were just likeany other country except high taxes. Especially in the middle, 40,000- what? 100,000? I cant remember the top cut off. Where they stop taxing you so much. Its literally done to ALL CANADAIANS. Not youtube specific income and shed not qualify for cerb with it. She lied to the gov to live on welfare and not claim her ALL income from youtube. She didnt lose her job… bc of covid. Anyhoo, welfare is the same. Shes not going to get all her taxes back under 40,000/year. That means she isnt a successful job on youtube. Shes moving before she gains. She hit over 41,000 and got taxed. Shes complaining about THE SAME TAXES WE ALL PAY. That dont increase. Its the property taxes from owners that pay for public spaces etc. and social services. Youre cheering her on… for a low income buinsess that shouldnt be the reason to move. Its naive. Sorry commentors! I hope you change your minds… ppl also leave bc collections and credit checks dont follow you around the world. Its impossible. I bet for her taxes too…

Where are you leaving Canada for?

Canada is finishing like 3d world country,witn colored population,criminal and corrupted state.

Many of the problems you mentioned in the video could be slowly fixed by a better government. Canada certainly needs change, but it has potential very few countries have. We have pretty much every natural resources in abundance. There are many smart and well educated people here. All we need is good leadership i think.

I came to Calgary in 1983, and since then, I've seen Canada change for the better and worse. I moved back to my native country of Malaysia in 1997 and lived and worked there until 2012. I can honestly say that my native country is so much cheaper to live. I don't need to wait months to see a specialist and wait over an hour to see my family doctor despite already booking an appointment. Doctors just want to get you out of their office fast so they can see more patients. Got a second health concern, well, book another appointment. What a joke! In Malaysia, I can get full body check-ups, including x-ray, ECG, and blood work, including results the same day. What's the use of free health care if the service takes donkey months? I've decided to move back to Malaysia in about two year's time and enjoy the warm weather and cheaper cost of living. Canada is a GREAT country, but the elected government just screwed things up. Will miss the Calgary Stampede for sure.

Mass immigration and corruption have ruined Canada.

Canada is a beautiful country but screwed up by bad government. The situation in Canada is not positive and will continue to deteriorate. There are many countries now that the qualities of life are better than Canada now. I wish you happiness in finding a new place to live and continue your interesting video blogs especially in Asia.

I am a trained Canadian doctor. I left as soon as I graduated. Canada is a collapsing country

Hi Alina ? ! You will miss autumn ? in Canada ?. Right now , if I was your age I would give Da Nang in Vietnam ?? consideration as a place to live. Good Luck ⛱️.

Canada is just unliveable right now, unless you’re filthy rich of course

If you don't like Canada you can get out and Don't come back

I cannot blame you. US is turning into Canada as well. Just like ROME had fallen; I see US, Canada, Western EU are soon turning into 3rd world or even worst.

please take me with you hahahaha, here is soooo boring... Canada needs a Pinochet :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xfeSWVgF1w hahah

It's not anti-immigration sentiment. It's opposing millions of people invading your country and being paid more than you are to live in apartments that you can't afford to rent. These people fled poor economic conditions - not persecution - into Canada in exchange for being paid a monthly stipend of $2,000 a month, free rent, free healthcare, free internet, free phone, and free education. They receive these benefits and are forbidden from working legally. Thus, they are not expected to work.\n\nMost people support immigrants that want to move into a country to work, want to learn the language, the culture, and want to become citizens in the future. None of these are expected to, and roughly half of these otherwise illegal immigrants are Chinese men ages 19 to 30.

If you are not like canada you should go back right now

Canada is trying to completely trash itself. Watch the reverse brain drain. Watch the rich go to third world countries from having better business opportunities...\n\nThen theres going to be no one left to pay for welfare

Trudeau is killing Canada. Import migrants, create native housing demand (drives prices up), build more housing for the migrants. Then, by building more, housing they could reduce prices by expanding inventory. \n\nBut, no. Trudeau and his NGO buddies simply import more immigrants to keep pressure on housing to keep prices up.

Yes! Absolutely! Too many folks coming into Canada and the economy and infrastructure not keeping up

Let's just speak the truth, shall we? Quebec has threatened to leave Canada, but so far has been staying. Thanks to billions of CAN $ being infused into it from from the Canadian Government.

I am glad Canada is waking up finally.

There aren't any opportunities in Germany. A bunch of locals think they are the smartest. My best friend has 10 years of PM experience in manufacturing (Canada, China, Japan). The first thing they do is complain that his German is not good. Dude has C1. Then just hire a local guy to run the factory. Actually they do. Can see the result. Made in Germany is worse year after year.?

I don't know what's worse, in Canada they request masters and doctorates to emigrate and work in cleaning. Lately the so welcoming society started blaming immigrants for their problems instead of their government and companies dedicated to speculate with housing and real state.

So Canada is letting their immigrants cross illegally into the U.S., that is how they are handling their immigration problems.

Would like to see a native Canadian- non, white, not Indian, not Middle Eastern, not Black, not Latino and not Asian. You know, Canada's First Nations such as the Metis, Iroquois, etc.

If you stole $100 fuel from the gas pump I'm sure they'll be knocking at your door ready to arrest you??? Canada

Sadly, in Canada everything depends on Morality of the tenant as Laws are pretty lame and outdated !!

That’s why I’m leaving Canada. I’m not raising my kids there, I don’t want to live there for the rest of my life, it’s more unsafe than it was when I grew up, it’s unaffordable. I want to buy a house one day and I’ll never be able to do that in Canada. So, I’m out.

I came to Canada 11 years ago, now as a citizen i feel its a waste of time, very soon I will leave this country.

This does not only apply to Canada, Canada is a transit country btw, Govt. can easily solve this issue by making new society and housing at a cheaper cost looks like some drama going on

My neighbors, a Syrian refugee family residing in Glenforest, Mississauga, Ontario. \nThe family arrived here three years ago and is receiving various social security benefits. However, I have observed that the father is working illegally in a butcher shop while the family continues to benefit from social security and other grants. They appear to have multiple sources of income, live in a free house, and are purchasing substantial amounts of gold, a new car, and their children are receiving educational benefits. This situation seems to be inconsistent with the financial situation of many hard-working individuals in our community. \nMy father has reported this issue to the Canada Revenue Agency, but we have not seen any follow-up or resolution. I am concerned about the fairness of this situation and how it affects the integrity of the benefit system.

This is clearly a unplanned process that comes in the favore of foreign politics not Canada nationsl interest , immigrants arrived to Canada deceived by the fact it is land of opportunities without providing long term infrastructure plan\n many of those immigrants bring all their savings and nourishing the economy.
