We're better having you two! How much should region dictate our 'norms'!?☢

When I was young, people used to say Canada was the best country to immigrate to because it was the least racist country, people are the nicest etc etc… I got there and I swear even SouthAfrica and Ireland has better people. Canada is the absolute worst of the American continent. Never go there, you’re better off living in a refugee camp in Syria

Kids. Look at this. Remember, these are the same jobs you have to do and put up with the same shit that this guy had to deal with when you go to other countries to study and think there are better opportunities.\nDoes not matter if you come from a wealthy and respected family in India. You will be treated as shit outside.

Any Canadian with money, skills, education or business ideas would be better off leaving because Canada punishes success. People without these things act like everyone should stay in Canada and suffer instead of pursuing better opportunities.

The Trudeau government is scrambling now to address the housing crisis. In the next few weeks you'll see a myriad of announcements to prep for the election. Don't fall for it. Not saying the Conservatives are any better but I think we are due for some change in one way or another.\n\nMyself and most of my friends are in the top 1% of earners and we are nowhere near close to buying houses/apartments in Toronto and Vancouver. Our generation is truly in trouble.

what drugs are you on !!? Canada still wins best living country top 5 so you are fucking triping dude Canada is way better then USA and Europe so fuck this lie !

I've been homeless before too. Absolutely sickening how foreigners get special treatment in housing simply because it looks better globally. THEY CHOSE TO COME HERE! They should have done their research before coming. In a world where information is so easy to come by, its beyond irresponsible to move to a new country without doing research first. OUR PEOPLE are dying, and by coming here to leech off our homeless supports, you aren't helping yourself, or any of the millions who were here before you. As a former homeless person, in my opinion every single one of my friends who died because they couldn't get housing, the blood is on these peoples hands for exploiting our country

People go abroad and work this... Its better to be a labour in our own nation rather than serving in other countries without respect

So thats why majority of Canadians and expats Are Moving to USA for a better future?

There’s a lot more going on than Trudeau allowing far more people into the country than we can possibly deal with. It seems that heads of government all over the western world are making decisions and doing things that make no sense and making things worse for people instead of better. Everything that is happening is a plan and I think it is working just the way they want it to. They and their advisors would have to be total morons incapable of even tying their own shoes if this is accidental.

If you hear Drake playing during the day better leave your car keys by the front door at night

We must have immigration. We Canadians are too highly educated to want to do manual labour. We also do need immigration to prop up our pension plans, which will run out of funds in a few years. We are discriminatory with respect to professional immigrants. Shame.\n\nCovid caused a 2-year slowdown in construction, and in strong inflation. Trudeau is the mouthpiece for the technocrats who advise him on immigration, and the ability to match demand with supply. Immigration, healthcare, whatever-policy is not a one-man (king) decision. The liberals set the policy, not the quotas. As for housing, quotas were set and the liberals advised and provided confirmation.\n\nWith respect to housing, many contractors could not afford to build, given the almost doubling in the cost of raw materials. As well, infrastructure provided by cities, in some occasions, could not match the installation of sewers, water supplies, garbage disposal, etc.\n\nTrudeau is a convenient victim. And if you mean by Trudeau, that it is the Liberals in power, you must also include the NDP, who provided the support to keep the Liberals in power. The NDP have a large impact on the immigration decisions. Blame them as well.\n\nAnd if you think that Pierre P with the Conservative party can do better. Lets see how he does in his second term, if there is a second term.

The best part of this is that my brother right here is probably doing this part-time while working on his master's degree, whereas Mr. Numbnuts right here is probably blowing his welfare money and racially abusing him to feel better about himself. \nMy brother wasn't just being patient with him, he was doing him a kindness by not spitting the truth straight back to his face. \nThese pathetic wastes of space disgust me.

That's almost happened to every guy when he works in other countries,so it's better do job at your hometown

This country is a joke. As a Canadian living abroad. Other countries take care of their own long before a foreigner. Canada needs to have more pride with the people who built this country which is Canadians who have paid their dues and their parents. If you're a refugee we shouldn't deny you a plate of food but if my neighbor doesn't have it I'll serve him long before you, these are my people - the ones who has supported me in periods of unemployment, childhood - you can pay your dues too or don't come here. Look to your neighboring countries who share the same creed and where you can integrate better as you come here for our services. I wish Canada was less Socialist to attract only people who can pull their own weight. Socialism never works.

better to work in india with pride than facing this

Shut it down! W 2:10 hy let in1 more. Eventually when we stabilize open it back up slowly under better management.

Hey Dom. Make Canada a little better. Leave.

the tip at 1:56 is wrong. Canada uses a progressive step tax system. So you may pay more tax if you earn more, but you will always be better off because you earned more.

What a joke! It is out of control because of him. \nObviously it is important now because the election is coming, and he is trying to do damage control.\nTelling people what they want to hear and act all concerned now is a little too late. \nHe will continue destroying Canada if there is anything left by the time the election rolls around. \nIf he gets re-elected we are finished for sure.\n\nI have never voted conservative in my life but I now will be because of this party..and ndp.\nAm I happy about it…no. \nAnything is better than this bunch, and our choices are very limited. \nThey can’t even hold a conversation and work together/ compromise, find solutions that work.\n\nThe laws and system need to be changed to prevent this from ever happening again. You will never see talk about that though.\nI have very little faith in any party at this point. Stand strong ??

Better still, Brian, let's have an election, and we will show you what we think. Pierre Poilievre, our next Prime Minister.

FOR EIGHT YEARS TRUDEAU DIDDEN GIVE DAM A BOUT HOUSEING DUTIL PIERRE START WINNING ABOUT BUILDING HOUSEES\nNOW HE IS THROUING MONEY EVERY WEAR WHEAR IS THAT MONEY TREE HE IS SO FONEY WHEAR IS THE NDP VOTERS GOWN\nWHEN YOU LOSE YOUR HOUSE DONT GO CRYING THE BLUES IT NOT A JOKE YOU BETTER WAKE UP NOW GO AFTER YOUR M P\n WHO YOU VOTET FOR UNLES YOU WANT TO LIVE IN A TENR IN THE PARK GO VISET TENT CITY SEE IF YOU LIKE THAT WEAR YOU WILL BE WINCH TRUDEAU GETS FINISHED WITH CANCDIAN DONT LET IT HAPPEN

100 % right plus Canada will do much better with out him

Justin Trudeau told the RCMP to add some of his personal material to the canadian vaccine so that everyone would be better.

Imagine a world with term and age limits for ALL politicians and bureaucrats in all levels of government and that has rid itself of the corrupt NATO, UN, WEF, WHO and the Paris Climate rip off, where we have cut off chain migration and uncontrolled migration of those with no skills and that spends TAXPAYER FUNDED foreign aid on the betterment of its own citizens

Of course the refuvees get help first. It looks good for the Liberals. Id be pissed and tbrowing fists if i paid i to the system fkr 25 or 30 years and these people get better and more help then i ever have. Ive been down there and they are ao fucking rude to people. They get drunk and then get mad when you dont give them money. Fuckkkkk that. Paid a smuggler and a 5k plane ride from africa or middle east, but youre poor? They are taking advantage of our system and they KNOW they are. But don't care.l.\nT\nLOGIXX is a joke security company. They literally park behind my building in visitors and sit there for 3 hours doing nothing. He gets out and walks around the building. Takes 10 mins. Then sits back there for 3 hours.

All the west countries should stop giving permanent residency to expats and just give them 5 to 10 year work permit so expats of 'N' number can come here on tourist/visit visa and ger hired on a work permit of 5 to 10 years, have better life in their home country where they are considered first, where they can build big homes without loan and buy cars and save money have better life, and you guys keep your people first. Most of the white are homeless and jobless on the road, please help them

A young French woman is renting a room in the same house that I am. She is here to teach highschool French. She hasn't lived here for a year, and wants to move to the US for better opportunities, cheaper living, teach at a university. She is expected to treat her students like children, and reward them with a candy/chocolate for answering a question correctly. All problems start in the home.

Every country has its own challenges. No matter what you say, yiu will not discourage me.\nAnywhere is better than Kenya.

As a non Canadian and non Muslim I keep trying to talk to my Canadian husband about moving to Mexico with me, I am already in here and I cannot stress enough about how much happier I am here, beautiful weather, cheaper and just better in so many ways. I’m so happy for you guys. I def encountered racism in Canada as a Latin girl, even tho Canada has a lot of different cultures.

Old news just like it was when \nYour four father's came bye the \nMillions be better people stop the hipocracy of none other than sons of immagrants and sons of God?

If bro had Canadian passport situation would have been different.\n\nRacism cases are increasing in Canada as some Canadians cannot digest brown folks working hard day and night and driving expensive cars!\n\nThese people want to work less and get paid more!\n\nFor those Canadians, stop blaming immigrants for your govt failures. Mississauga and Brampton pay more taxes than Toronto and Montreal! \n\nBrown folks don’t smoke weed or do drugs on weekdays! They work hard to have a better future! Not demand more money for puny work!

I’ve lived in America as a Canadian for multiple years, and they are quite similar, but I just generally prefer my country better, and I’m not sure why.

That's why train is better 1 seat pe 6 log bethaate hai aur jinka reservation nhi woh general compartment me jaate hai or request krke thodi jagah milta hai ?

The housing crisis is happening everywhere. The only reason I am okay is I bought my own house in Hamilton 20 years ago, and it is paid off. Nothing is grandfathered for newcomers -- they are the ones stuck with paying very high prices for housing, so they better get used to living in overcrowded conditions eg 3 working people sharing a one bedroom apartment.

Canada me pizza delivery dene gaya hai in the name of a better life style... Yeh sab toh sunne ko milega hi chutiya countries me

My ancestors got here a long time ago and I grew up believing that Canada is not only a place where so many could be happy and safe, but that people like me were better for it. I’m sorry to see you go — especially as I’m completely sympathetic to your last reason. Free Palestine. And I hope you come back.

People in the comments whining about how Canada is doomed, DO SOMETHING !. Vote better ! Stop whining !

1 million international student a year mainly from India , and most of them stay in canda and get jobs . canada literally gets more than one million immigrant a year , creating a housing crisis .these students are victims to literally human traficking tactics as they re been promised permanent residence and a better life in canda just to be used and left to struggle in a broken economy .

I immigrated to Canada in 2006. It was a big mistake. Canada is an immigration casino. Despite having a Ph.D., I never got a decent job there. After wasting 12 years of my professional life there, in 2018 I left Canada and came back to Brazil. Things are much better now. I don't want to go back to Canada not even for a short visit.

High rent and crime are problems across Canada right now. Larger cities will be more strongly impacted. \nThe root causes are actually quite simple. It's from decades of downloading responsibility for many services until they ended up in the hands of municipalities who had no capacity to fund them, then made 2x worse by the disastrous immigration policy of just the last few years.\nIt explains all three of the problems you identify, unaffordable rent, high crime rate, and underfunded social services.\nSo these are not problems with Toronto, but at the federal and provincial levels. Simply repeating that there are plenty of better options elsewhere doesn't make it true, unless you can give specific examples. Other places likely pay less, require longer commutes, don't offer small size rentals, have even worse social support, similar crime rates, or some combination of all those factors.\nToronto itself isn't as bad as this video makes it out to be. The downtown core skews all the averages, yet all the reporting, b-roll, and examples seen here seem to focus on the core. Of course the reason why it's worse in the core is because so many people want to live there! But I'm not going to concern myself about people who complain that they can't afford to live urban lifestyle, to be a part of 'the scene'. There are plenty of much more affordable options within a 30 minute subway ride of the core. Well inside city limits. But your friends won't think you're cool, so... oh no!\nYes, rents are still too high outside the core, of course. But they aren't as ridiculous as this video suggests. The city is massive. Grow some humility and find a place to that you can afford to live, within Toronto.

As someone living in Quebec I can confirm.. housing prices just seem unreasonable for someone with a modest income. pretty much had to keep living with family and pay them a rent that is liveble with.. Heard other people who can't count of family had to share single person appartments with friends and sometimes even random people in similar situation. Its honestly terrifying to think about potentially having no home despite getting a modest income..\nThe medical scene is probably a bit better but still not that great looking. Quebec had (dunno how it works in other provinces) a system of Family doctors that the medical system sort of relied on. yet there is barely no family doctors left. I can't buy the meds I need without a doctor giving me the prescription but I no longer have a family doctor for the last 5 years. I've been jumping through hoops and all just to get somehow to extend or give me another year of prescription.. I need those meds for life though....\nFood situation.. I guess sure the prices have increase but for the most part we(me and family) are still hanging on fine. However restaurents have gotten too pricy so we had to cut luxury out of our life.

I wanted to come to Canada not just for better career prospects or have a better a life but to start a new one but the current situation makes me sceptical.

Dogs barks sounds better to the ears than this cacophony… How dare!!! ???

Yeah? Well, not to worry...this world is about to change beyond the imagination...canada and the rest of the world will be living in abundance in the near future...no matter, I plan on leaving canada when things become better, and they WILL get better...but, for me, architecture is a major issue...the buildings/houses here look more like institutes and 'feel' cold; whereas some other places look more like what I love...Tartarian buildings...so I'm gonna be moving to a place that has more Tartarian buildings that are more welcoming and warm...just sayin... ✌✌

Guys it gets better. Think of this as a baby in a new world. The more u grow the more u accquire. Canada is a great nation. Please don't let people tell u what to expect, no matter what, you will expect great things here. Welcome to Canada!!!\nP. S:. about tax, it depends on your province. It actually pays off when u file your income tax.

I'm coming for my Master's in Ontario, I'm scared that Canada is full now and it doesn't need immigrants due to housing, unemployment issues etc.\n\nNot sure what to do, should I hold back until situation gets better

Canada is a mess but it's still ( don't know for how long though ) better than the most of world in many ways.

Lived there for 2 years and regretted since the first day. Now back in Sydney Australia and it's just so much better.

This was great, I think many refugees go back when the circumstances in their home countries get better, wars end etc. especially when they're already older and the weather?\nI'm from Europe, immigrants here don't go back but visit their home countries on a regular basis and rather stay within their communities
