you're beautiful, but please dont come to my country. Wherever you go the country turns to poo. Ukraine ruined, Canada ruined. Wherever you go it's total destruction.

I don’t disagree with any of this. But have we forgotten whatever happens to our neighbours down south ultimately ends up affecting Canada. America isn’t any better. We complain yet it doesn’t stop ppl from moving to Vancouver, Toronto, NYC, LA etc..

Dear Alina, the YouTube algorithm brought me to this channel and to this video. Your video hurts me. I’m born in Bavaria directly opposite the Americans in one of their barracks. I was allowed to grow up with and almost among them. At school, the children of Western European guest workers, including Turkey. \nWell Canada was always the brother of the States in my eyes. The dream country when the States don't work. Since Trudeau and Covid, unfortunately, a lot has gone off the rails. Oh yes, Germany is not the answer, if that's what anyone thinks. I also wanted to go to Canada for a long time, but that's no longer the case. Happy and yet sad at the same time at the moment. I will leave my home country. too. I already know one thing, it won't be an EU country at the moment. \nAll the best to you, everyone on the other side of the pond. Peace with you. Stay safe and Servus from Bavaria

I suggest canadians learn hindi/urdu sooner or later...why dont the government include the language in the curriculum. You know, its going to be hard for future generations to survive in canada without speaking hindi/urdu.???

First step in bringing Canada back into shape is to get rid of the clowns running the federal governement. Vote wisely in 2025.

Hi Alina, I felt sad wachting you talk about your feelings over nowadays' Canada. Maybe your feelings do represents the same from people around the world related to their own country. This wave is happening in most western countries, leading us to a miserable situation. So, I am very curious about what country you are applying for? Despite your decision to leave Canada, I hope you continue your YouTube channel underway. I wish you Alina great, great times.

We lost thousands due to LTB but Canada rules are slow and rule are towards tenants.

Indians go to canada thinking that it is a heaven and this is what they get in heaven.... There is no heaven better than the mother land

The immigrants that are going to Canada

I don't blame you, a lot of my friends from Canada have left for Asia or Latin America because of the extreme high cost of living, housing prices skyrocketing as well as taxes. Watching your other videos, Asia, Thailand? ?. I wish you the best!

Canada is a SCAM centre

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

no canada is shitty \ndrugs homeless crime expensive unemployment \nidiots moving to canada only\nsame as other western countries, falling nations by accelerating

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

I am 3rd generation immigrant also Canada is not as it once was and neither is small town saskatchewan hewan

I left Canada in 1996 as it WAS expensive then

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.

It pays to be a criminal in Canada now?

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…

West is no a nice place to be. Its not only Canada. Same is in USA, Germany, Austria, Swiss, France, Australia, ...

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.

Best of luck! \nPerhaps Canada will improve in the future…

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

Canada has Trudeau and now the UK has Starmer. Liberal elites who plan to destroy the West.

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 ⛱️.

Bad policies cause disinvestment i.e. selling property in Canada and investing outside. This leads to devaluation of Canadian dollar aka inflation. Canadians need to wake up and understand macro economics remember Argentina was also once one of the richest countries in the world.

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.?
