It isn’t just Canada that has tanked.\nIt seems like every English speaking country has.\nAs well as western countries.\nI get the impression that the whole world has tanked.\nSo where is a good place to live?

I'm 51 years old, came to Canada when I was 36, I do love Canada but late for my age to immigrate again. If I was young I would travel to Scandinavian countries. Good Luck to you!!

I actually took a course in university that briefly talked about gun violence, and the statistics for the number of mass shootings per year were extremely high in the US. (Mass shootings, meaning 3 or more people are killed by one person in a public setting) the numbers for US was over 400 per year and for Canada it was only 4 in a span of 20 years!

Canada is nothing not even a fraction of what it used to be should have been more careful and moved away after 2008

Don't live Canada, fight for this beautiful country. Vote Trudeau out in 2025

This is a moment in time, it's been caused by a combination of inflation and a lack of housing, which was exacerbated by a flood of immigrants and refugees. It's already starting to ease, but it's going to take a change of government to cut the immigration numbers and encourage housebuilding. Literally no one recommended raising the immigration quota to 500,000 per year and on top of that there is the Ukrainian refugee programme and student visas. Anyway, speaking as someone who used to work as an immigration consultant, the best place for a YouTuber to live is Mexico. It's easy to immigrate, you're in the same timezone as most of the English-speaking audience (that makes the most money per view) and Mexico (and Canada) have extremely comprehensive tax treaties with the US and endless MOUs and so on, which make dealing with Google and the IRS super easy. I think you can even use a US bank account with AdSense. Удачи вам.

Thanks to a leader who apparently thinks governing a country is nothing but an acting job, Canada truly sucks as a country now.

I am also born and bred in Canada, I left in 2000 to the US. Had to come back in 2004 due to a layoff. Left in 2008 back to the US again then to Asia. I stayed in Asia until late 2021 and came back again because of the kids. However these 3 years I have seen this country go downhill fast and I really find it a hellhole and is much worse than in the 1990s when I was growing up. The cost of living, job situation, immigrant overrun, woke mentality is just horrendous. I am trying to leave again because I am just disappointed in this country and also exploring how to leave permanently.

dose not matter who you Vote For peeeettt boi is all for the same things as Tird-o, he talks about CBDC, Digital IDS, 15 minute citys hes all FOR it it changes nothing.\n\nYou want change or for something to happen then Bug the One group that the government hates and fears...First nations... Bug them about it.\nThey are Slow to get Going and Dont watch the News or care much about what canada is doing but when it get going nothing stops it.\nKeystone.\nKeystone 2 over the rockys.\nAnd mordoor\nECT ECT\nIf they don't want it it ends

Sorry to hear the current situation in Canada and I am sure Canadian people will get all the issues resolved.

Alina, I truly empathize! Millions of us Canadians do. While he's not entirely responsible for Canada's decline, Trudeau's government's immigration and economic policies in the last 9 years have certainly exacerbated Canada's housing, inflation, health care and cost of living problems. I don't know if electing the Conservatives will improve things much, but they can't possibly do any worse.

Left Toronto this year and now live in northern BC. Best decision I made. The cities in Canada have completely fallen apart. Small town life in Canada is still good though, and much more affordable. But you have to enjoy small town, country life. If you want to live in a city, Canada is not it.

I left Canada 9 years ago, and never come back. Life is to short work for government and paid very high taxes, plus winter to long.

I'm a dual UK/Canadian citizen and passport holder and have always planned to move to Canada. It seems to be on the same level as the UK now, though, so there's really not much point. I've left and gone to Cyprus.

I agree with you on the demise of Canada, too much crime and no accountability from the justice system. Trans, DEI and affirmative action policies of both the government and some major corporations are legalizing racism and discrimination. People should be treated all equal but that is not the case anymore. Toronto a few years back dropped the standards for Police and Firefighters. If your house is on fire do you want a rescuer who is 70% competent of one that is 100% competent. Canada trump all human rights for a few human rights.

I still want to call Canada a good country but why things are so expensive now? There must be a supply chain monopoly that needs to be crushed by the government so whoever is upstairs please do help us

Our governments in Canada have certainly failed us thanks to Justin & Jagmeet. Voting has consequences so vote for Pierre Pollievue in 2025 . Hopefully he can enact change to get our country back on track . It will take decades to fix but this country is blessed with talented people and vast resources. It is a beautiful land so let's improve the human side . The rest of the world may beckon but it to has many problems.

I started making plans to leave Canada back in 2013. I left in October of 2021, during the Covid insanity, where the people and Government of Canada revealed who they truly were. It was the best move I ever made for my family and I. We are much better off being out of the shit-hole that is Canada.

Canada's not the same as current PM has ruined it. Chaos will get worse before it gets better with a new leader to fix it. Immigrant's always entered through Sask because it was the easiest to get citizenship. When term was over they went West or East. There are 2 types of immigrant's today, those who want a chance for better life and adapt and those who want to destroys our values (which's' what what we're seeing today). Being born and raised in Sask doesn't feel like home anymore into today's world. East and West looks worse. I'd be happier living abroad!! Heck its just a plane ride back for visits.\nGood Luck in your ventures Alina; I subbed to your channel late but love your content. Being a happy free spirit sure helps.

I too am thinking of leaving. Sad but our governments have failed the people again and again to the point where it's not worth living here anymore. I was born and raised in Canada but I am taxed to death and it's tougher and tougher to keep the middle class status.

Shame on you. you cannot paint a country the size of Canada with the same brush. you have seen less than 1 percent of the country. Go live elsewhere and stay gone.

Good riddance you right winger. Canada is better off without you.

Hi Alina, yes I think most people must been kept in so much suspense and perhaps many like me must have move forward hoping the answer is there somewhere towards the end of your video. I perfectly understand what you say about Canada. I think it is largely due to really poor and incompetent leadership and to some extent, a lack of independence to do what is best for Canada instead of another country. Whichever country you choose, I wish you all the very best for a happy and more fulfilled future. I think you are moving to New Zealand although we would love to have someone like you in our country China. Catch you in the next.

We are in the process of leaving Canada as well. Possibly permanent. We have come to Canada 22 years ago. We can live a good life with even one minimum wage when we first arrived Canada. It was a dream land for everybody. Today, we are double income professionals in Saskatchewan and still feel living standard is poor. Grocery price is 5 or 10 times as when we first come to Canada. However, salary of average family barely increase. The spending of government is just out of control and make everybody poor. Canada is on a rapid downhill path since Justin Trudeau become Premier Minister, I can't see this trend can be turned back in a short time.

I have lived in Canada for 65 yrs and agree with your assessment. I honestly never thought it could happen here \nBut it has really hit hard the last 10 years. Have applied for \nNon o visa in thailand , for a new life away from this

12:39 THIS is racism from a journalist. Everyone that is not for open borders is a person with no hope for Canada. Why did no one in the comment section point it out?

Lets be clear on this , We gave people a safe place to avoid religious persecution and war and they repay us with Violence and protesting , all of which has nothing to do with their Homeland in Canada

Canada or india last i was in Toronto i did not see any Canadians only Indians

Hey Germany I am German by Heritage my family was from there but I was born in Canada they don't want me to work in Germany I am a skilled Tradesman they rather get from India and Turkey what a shame I would love to go the fatherland but the fatherland don't want me

If they're coming in from Canada, those are different illegals with different reasons for coming and are probably well financed if you get my drift smh

20 years ago Canada was a beautiful country. It is a cesspool now. It’s a shame. I come from a military family and I am truly thankful my father and grandfather aren’t alive to see what the country they fought for has become.

Germany has to compite white Canada Australia and New zealand , who is his righ mind would go to a racist country full of of taxes and bureaucracy

A boat can only hold so much before it sinks. Canada already had a big housing and unemployment problem. I know people would love to be altruistic but you will end up drowning. It’s the same thing in the US and Europe.

I’m fed up…. I want this to remain CANADA …. We can’t even house our homeless afford groceries the crime is high …human trafficking is frightening !! My kids in their 20’s will never afford to buy a first time home

I lived in Canada, as a British accent educated professional in Canada! You will never be part of their kindly, never!

Canada is not\nFor all people Canada is for Canadians. To allow groups of people who do not hold our beliefs outnumber us then the country will no longer hold our beliefs and we will be the ones without a home. Instead of letting others join ours. It’s not racism to want to keep your homes way of life. The country’s most come from are not returning the same kindness.

Canada is not a white land. It was colonized by the European people 200 years ago.

Pretty soon but already feels like Canada is transforming into third world thanks to Trudeau

no they will find housing for the illegal immigrants but not for locals, legal immigrants will take care of themselves, again not only in Canada ????

Don’t move to Canada, it’s very bad and there is a lot of discrimination, especially against Asian and African people. You will regret it

Wow. White people forget they are also immigrants in North America continent. In Canada, the Inuits are the original people, as Native Americans/Indians are to the USA, and yet they are pushed off to the side in their own countries by caucasian immigrants/invaders.

Brother i m an indian muslim, i just want to work in canada for some years earn money and go back to india

If I may share some solutions that will benefit Canada and ALL PEOPLES that breathe and live in Canadian Air!\n\nA prosperous country is one that welcomes new peoples to their lands.\n\nForceful Policies that attribute numerical outcomes are cold, harsh, and disrespectful to those who are currently contributing to towards the success with their energy and loving open spirits.

Canada needs capable, skilled workers, and Pakistan has a terrible gender equality record. If they are seeking asylum legally, there's not a problem.

How thousands of asylum seekers have turned Roxham Road into a de facto border crossing \nClose to 50,000 have entered Canada at the unofficial border crossing point in just two years YES immigrants are leaving Canada ..NOT .MORON!!!

This should not be legal. That's messed up. They're taking those jobs from people that actually need those jobs. It's not easy for people in South Asian middle class families to get these jobs as their English is not fluent so these jobs go to privileged and educated families. They're getting the airline blacklisted by doing this, reducing jobs for the poor in their home country. This is selfish. As someone from a 3rd world country, this is dangerous. I've heard so many cases of people ending up as slaves because some idiot conned them into doing this. Canada also needs to look into corrupted politicians getting PR cause they bought land there through money laundering schemes in the home country. And these issues have existed even before Trudeau came into power. Stop blaming just 1 person, blame the entire system.

White supremacists! Canada must belong India!

Just a reminder that the flight attendants are NOT the reason why Canada is getting more and more crowded lol I would be absolutely shocked if that made up more than 0.0001% of our immigration numbers

UK needs to immigrate more so Canada can recover

Well why are you showing indigo flight attendents . They are from india and not Pakistan. Infact indigo donot even fly to canada.
