People who earn income, including investment income while visiting the U.S. are required to pay taxes in the U.S. Seriously. If I was living off a Canadian investment portfolio or collecting a Canadian pension while living in the U.S. _even temporarily,_ I would have to file a return and pay taxes to the I.R.S. Trust me, that's *never* going to happen. Don't get me started on healthcare, gun violence, bigotry, political insecurity, et. al.

The citizens of the U.S. and Canada are Americans by virtue of living on the North America Continent, We rarely acknowledge that fact as your Government has given the identifier a bad name brother.

Drove to Mexico from Canada and got stopped at U.S. border. They were concern that me and my friend would not go to Mexico but rather try to move to the USAfor work., I couldn't tell the border officer that there were no conceivable reasons for us to move to USA.

I am from Brazil, moved to Canada 9 years ago, now I am Canadian citizen. I was once asked by a American colleague why did I not immigrated to the USA, the answer is: it was not even in the list of possible countries. In fact it is on my top list of places not to move to. \n\nYou have a good insurance through your job? That only means you have one more reason to fear losing it or stay on a particularly bad one if you don’t have anything lined up, if you have a chronic health condition, then you are straight out hostage to your employer. Even if you do have good insurance your bills may one day go beyond the maximum and you still risk bankruptcy. \n\nIf you do go bankrupt, in any civilized country you can’t go to jail for debt, in the USA you can, the country with the highest incarcerated population in the world in absolute numbers and relative too. To add salt to the injury it is a country that did not completely make slave work illegal, it is still legal if you are not a free citizen and your prison system exploit that.\n\nSo it is a country that you can become slave because you got sick.\n\nThen there are the guns… the fact you think you are exempt of school shootings says it all, if you live in a small city it would not affect you? Are you really saying mass shootings never occur in small cities?! This is an excerpt:\n\n“The massacre that killed 10 people at a high school in Texas last week was just the latest to happen in a small or suburban city. Of the 10 deadliest school shootings in the U.S., all but one took place in a town with fewer than 75,000 residents and the vast majority of them were in cities with fewer than 50,000 people.”\n\nIt is all part of the gun culture, the absurd of making guns easily available and viewing guns as toys, a culture were people think taking your life is a proportional response to trespassing. \n\nIt is all closely tied with all the warmongering you are ok with all the taxes you pay going to your military to kill people outside your country yet you take exception in using a fraction of that to save your own citizens lives.\n\nIt is a place which put low value in the human life and well being, favour punishment instead of prevention and rehabilitation, keeps most of its population in a constant sense of despair and helplessness…\n\nIt is no wonder the USA has the highest number of psychopaths(over than 3000 versus the second next at 166), have kids going nuts and shooting others at school.\n\nIt is not a sane culture, it is not a good place to live and if you are well informed you won’t.

Would I move to the U.S? No... but I can't imagine myself living anywhere else in the world either. So it's not just the U S. I don't even have a passport... so I don't even vacation outside Canada.

When Trump became President, I stopped travelling to the U.S, and actually haven’t returned since .

Thank you Tyler, that must have been a difficult researched video to find out a lot of Canadians would not live in the U.S. for the variety of reasons expressed. No consistent health care, mass shootings, political life is a full time ongoing business, that does not exist in Canada. One is lucky to have 3 weeks of campaigning. Even for big elections. \nPlus the racism as well as the far right Christian fundamentalists in the South, we have them too, but it seems more prevalent in certain States.

My visits to the U.S. have always been positive experiences. Always. But, when you see signs in malls (outside of Macey's at the Mall of America) to keep your guns locked in your cars and not bring them into the mall...well!!! So many reasons to not leave Canada. So many to not move to the U.S. Just the politics alone is nonsensical. The inmates are running the asylum. Sorry Tyler, thanks but hell no. Never.

In the U.S. there have been more than 13900 people killed in gun violence in the first 4 months of 2023. I couldn't find exact numbers for Canada in the same time period, but I did find a list of gun deaths per 100,000 population. \n??: 0.5\n??: 4.12

The only reason I've ever heard of Canadians moving to the U.S. were job opportunities, or falling in love with and marrying an American.

I don't think I would move to the U.S. for many reasons. Healthcare is great in Canada. I don't think I'd be able to afford insurance in the U.S. , I also would be afraid of guns, the coastlines will rise by the 2030s, so my dreams of California and New York are out as well, never mind the outrageous cost of living there and being an arts person, I wouldn't want to be there now with the strike. I don't think I'd be affected as a stand-up comedian, but the opportunities would be way less with the industry shut down.

Hey Tyler...ask the question in reverse...see how many Americans would move to Canada....and I have a question for you, Why should I have to make a choice where I live, directly in response to gun violence and mass shootings, lousy uber expensive health care , discrimination, racism, bigotry, and hatred?...like I said in my 1st post, I lived in Cali. and Arkansas in the mid 80's, as different as environments can be...yet all of the same issues, just some more pronounced than others ( surprisingly, I saw and HEARD a lot more racism in Southern California than I did in Arkansas)....but now, in the 21st Century, the fact that politicians are actively trying (and in a lot of cases succeeding) to return the U.S. to the 1900 ( taking the vote away from minorities, especially blacks and native Americans), making women bend the knee to what men say and want them to do ( the reversal of Roe v Wade, 100% total bans on reproductive rights, and the restrictive, totalitarian, Nazi/fascist bans on the rights to choose who you want to be, how you want to be addressed, LGBTQ people and lifestyles) when I see this, hear the right-wing racist, elitist,MAGA, B.S., I wonder how ANY people in their right minds could want to live in 2023 America, the Land of the Lost !

When the interest of the 1% rich supersedes the interest of the public good, when the Interest of Pharma, Corporate America, and the U.S. Government supersedes the interest of the public good they suppose to serve, and when there is 30 to 40 million Americans have nutritional deficiencies or at or below the poverty level, Who would want to leave a country like Canada and move to a country plagued with political and social problems which has no real interest in improving the lives of its citizens...? I will also say: Hell ... NO...

No question there are many things thatAmericans can enjoy that are not available for Canadians. For one, the variety of consumer goods is more plentiful due to the size of your population. Our population is one tenth of the U.S. so the consumer market is much smaller. Having lived in the US for a dozen years, I missed so many things about Canada. Now living back here I appreciate our universal health care and the fact that everyone isn’t walking around with a weapon. Those were the two things that really bothered me about the US. I had a great job and worked with great people and we continue to be friends. And now the political climate in the US is teetering on absolute chaos. ????

No Double Big Mac in U.S!!!! No immigration from this Guy

I would not move to a country that thinks is normal for everyone to have a gun. Also, for some reason the citizen in the U.S. tolerate a government that does not care about its citizens, I require generous paid sick days, generous paid holidays, etc. \nAlthough I make a very good salary, I cannot tolerate seeing any human being not make enough money to live with dignity.

There have been 23 school shootings (K to 12) resulting in injury or death this year alone in the U.S.. There have been 167 school shootings resulting in injury or death since 2018. I think the reluctance of most Canadians to move to the U.S. in the face of such statistics is well founded. This feeling is reinforced by the knowledge that the US government and a large portion of American citizens prefer to do nothing about it. The price of being an American? No thanks. Too high for us.

I live in canada and I'd move anywhere but the U.S.

Smh I see more jobs lost in the u.s thanks Mexican government your doing so well and border patrol you guys are very good at your careers ??

It I's bullshet if they are willing to break the laws to get in to the u.s then they will break laws anytime because they deserve it . Entitled

Noooooo the U.S is full Periodt helllll naw

Biden administration is responsible for creating the largest child trafficking ring in U.S. history.

The sad thing is all those people want is a good life, every Mexican I have ever met has been an extremely hard worker, and here in the U.S they work for a lot less then others, I know plenty of guys who laid off their whole crew, and rehired all Mexican guys cuz they work harder, faster, and they don't complain and act spoiled like the American guys....\nSad but true......

The U.S. has the best health care delivery system IN THE WORLD! Do it like the U.S. does, Canada. Privatize it all. Government can't do healthcare.

CRAZY SHIT IS THEM VENEZUELANS AS SOON AS THEY ARE IN THE U.S. THEY START THE WHOLE IN MY COUNTRY THIS &THAT IT'S LIKE WELL WTF COME TO THE U.S. SMH

no they have to open the border,,,,,cause the cartel puts bracelets on ppl...and thry charge a certain amount for each person,,,make tons if money for the U.S. politician's,,,,,

Send them back, they dont even want to work. I met two peruvians and two venezuelan 7 months after they entered u.s at one of my jobs and they're already complaining about how they're not getting paid enough and how the work is hard. Im like but u dont even know how to work ???

A few quick points. \n\nDuring the 2009 recession, canada was positioned pretty strong, however if we didnt lower our interest rates our currency would have rissen to high in value and as a result made it too expensive for u.s companies to invest in it. \n\nThe downside was that it over inflated assets due to our strength and confidence in the housing market during the u.s. termoil.\n\nNow, our cost of living is incredibly high, and our tight lending policies on businesses make it difficult to scale within our own country, thus limiting good paying jobs. \n\nThe reason canadians dont invest as much in businesses is not because of lack of innovation and work, it is just much harder to acquire capital.

Not up to U.S. to fix everybodys problem

Amerikkka is Racist AF!!!! MEXICANS BEEN TRYING TO ENTER THE U.S. FOR DECADES. THOSE BLUE EYED UKRAINIANS GOT FREE ENTRY WITH FORGIVENESS IMMEDIATELY. THE AMERICAN FLAG REPRESENTS HATRED, RACISM, AND CORRUPTION. I HATE THAT PHONEY FLAG

These people have no respect for the U.S. and our Laws.

this was y'all liberals voted for he didn't actually get elected any way though we all know that. u.s election stolen right before our very eyes

Canadian here and I can't wait for my U.S. citizenship paperwork to go through, I'm done with this socialist, commie hell-hole.

Other countries arrive at Mexico, they have weak borders, and illegal immigrants continue their mass illegal entry into the U.S. WE NEED MORE BORDER PATROL & REPAIR THE BIRDER WALLS AND FENCE LINES.

I would've loved if they could've done that test with U.S./Canadian customs officer. I had one agent that I assumed I was carrying drugs just because I was attending a heavy metal concert.

YA KNOW WHAT JUST ABOUT ANY COUNTRY DOES IN THE SITUATION? THATS RIGHT THEY SHOOTIN PPL! WE HAVE ZERO IDEAR WHO IS EVEN IN THIS COUNTRY! MS 13 IS TAKIN OVER THE U.S AND CRAZY UNCLE JOE N HIS WARM FUZZYS THINK ITS FINE? W.T.F IS WRONG WITH IDIOTS IN THIS COUTRY? EVEN HISPANICS THAT WENT THRU THE PROPER CHANNELS ARE PISSED! LET'EM LIVE IN MEXICO

So much of protecting the border and look who's buying your land from under you...\n.What country owns the most US real estate?\n\nChina owns roughly 384,000 acres of U.S. agricultural land, according to a 2021 report from the Department of Agriculture. Of that, 195,000 acres, worth almost $2 billion when purchased, are owned by 85 Chinese investors, which could be individuals, companies or the government....keep being distracted..??

They're Americans too. Just not from the Cooperate United States Institution. Americas are three continents Nort, Central, and South. Everthing from Alaska to Argentina is America. United States isnt a real naition. Thats why people from the U.S. call themselves American. Whats the proper term for people from the United States? Americans??

According to certain economists, it's possible that the U.S. and certain parts of Europe might experience a recession at some point in 2023. Although a global recession, which is characterized by a decline in annual global per capita income, is relatively uncommon due to the faster growth rates of emerging markets like China, in comparison to developed economies. I have pulled out more than $340k from my bank. After all, the FDIC covers only up to $250,000, and the implosion could have bad effect. Looking to invest into the stock market now. Does anyone know how I could go about it?

This is why the U.S is in danger

Based in your explanation Canada is Better than U.S thanks for this impormative topic señoritas ??❤️

This is where all our Tax and Higher Food, Gas, etc. Monies is going to. We can't Afford to Support the World yet the Government is Desperately trying to make us U.S. Citizens to PAY for. Oh, Don't Forget Our Social Security as well..Craziness and B.S.

If we think it’s bad here in the USA, just imagine how MUCH WORSE it is in their own country, for them to want to come to the U.S. so desperately. What I’ve witnessed, is that immigrants cherish the USA more than U.S. Citizens! WE TAKE SO MUCH FOR GRANTED HERE, and most are not even happy!

Dont need to talk about yr economy,you got no backbone n you just cant produce/manufacture anything n got no networks,just go get yr crumbs fr yr u.s master you will live longer in the long run n stay down under like australia.

Are you saying racism against blacks is worse in Canada than in the US?\nWhat I heard is that it is worse in the U.S.

Go look at Ontario and do more research about Canada Before you start taking. You or going to take the word from one black women. Keep in mind what is the population for blacks in Canada? Or Out in Edmonton? there is a very small black populations if you come out to Toronto Ontario come out east To Ontario than come and Re Visit that racial Discrimination. It's not as much as the U.S folks out here minds there own business just work party and have fun \n\nU may find must people who harbour Microaggression ?

Can you blame them look what the u.s. has done to them and there countries for decades!!

True story canada as with u.s aren’t livable compared to some european countries ???

Why don't you report that they didn't get in. Drama, drama, drama. That is what the mainstream media is all about. Latest update. Border crossings are down 70%. Stop and get the facts. \nThe U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced Tuesday that illegal crossings at the U.S. Southern border had decreased by more than 70 percent since the Title 42 COVID-19 expulsion policy ended on May 11. \nYou people love leaving pertinent information out. Just stop!

Anyone not born in the U.S at least three generations on this soil you have no place to talk! People are starving and they are just that people. Where's your humanity?
