It is pretty terrible in the big cities but up here in the far north it is quite affordable. The winter is hard and there aren't enough doctors but I actually have a home under 250000.

Canada had n has been for refugees ...i also see them hiking house price, false insurance claims, not seen amongst whites. I see punjabis had problem in punjab due to emergency act imposed but recently its from other parts India who actually don't like punjabis and this conflicts are in here

This is actually such a cesspool of misinformation. It's comical, another case of the right message with the wrong information.\n\n7% of Canadians moving to America each year LOL! The country would collapse at that rate. The entire video is skewed towards Vancouver as the entirety of Canada and does nothing to talk about interest rates. \n\nSome parts of Canada such as Calgary is extremely affordable. I just purchased a home at 26 and there is no way I could rent it out at a profit even if I wanted to, so no rent gouging is not the problem people would make you believe.

We want immigration. Speak for yourself idk any Canadian who actually want more people not one

Americans joke of moving to Canada. But Canada has actual severe brain drain to USA.

Nice Video and very well produced! Only thing that I would say that needs to be reviewed is the source @ 12:38 where you said 7% of the Canadian population leaves when in actuality it is ~ 0.7% to 1% which is an order of magnitude different that what was said. Brain drain is real but its not at a point where we are losing more than 1% of our population a year to the US just yet. Also people return after ~5 years when they do go but I'm curious if they will stop coming back in the coming years. Anyways, I'm looking forward to future work and you gained a subscribe from me!

A multicultural society just means less whites. Nobody actually cares about the actual number of different cultures.

conservative, liberal, same shit different packaging because both parties are responsible for this issue. That issue being for so many decades homes have been treated as investments domestically and from foreign investors instead of ACTUAL homes for people to live in. Now we're reaping the consequences and the country has long rotted from the core. Unless a tyrannical-ish gov steps up and curbs the shit out of investors, serial landlords, and collusion within the real estate market, we're doomed.

I’ve been in Canada for over 24 years and I have never seen it like this in my life!\nThe main cause of the majority of issues is the housing crisis.\n\nWhat a lot of you might not be aware of is that we have not been building homes to keep up with the demand for over two decades. That’s why the price for housing has increased astronomically. And then our government decided to basically allow unfettered immigration in order to take advantage of the new immigrants’ money so they can use it to fund the Canadian Pension Plan.\n\nJust an FYI, the way CPP is funded is that the current group of working people are paying for the current group of retired seniors. And due to the lack of childbirths and people living longer, the CPP can no longer afford to take care of all the seniors in its system. Thus, the government devised a plan to have more people coming here so as to milk the money they have. Actually, they’ve even gone to the extent to basically allow seniors to be willingly euthanized… it’s absolutely bonkers.\n\nBut anyway, I digress… so then with housing at astronomical prices, you’re now pushing out the poor people onto the streets, causing homelessness. \n\nAnd when people are homeless, the average person will do drugs to escape reality and commit crimes to survive. Which is why it’s now increasingly dangerous in public spaces. \n\nThen, the transportation also never accounted for such a massive increase in population. At least not in Toronto. Which is also causing major inconvenience to go anywhere. \n\nIt used to be that if you lived in the suburbs, you could drive into Toronto pretty quickly but now, it takes like an hour and a half to two hours, making it extremely difficult to get around. And also, hard to take advantage of the “lower” housing prices in the suburbs.\n\nBut that’s not all. Part of the issue is that the Trudeau government wants to no longer have Canada use our oil and gas overnight, which is causing the increase in gas prices. Many Canadians still rely on gas because electric cars are not efficient in Canadian weather and are simply too expensive for your average person. And yet they cut off our supply of oil and gas which causes the price inflation of transport and anything that requires to be moved such as groceries and supplies.\n\nAnd don’t get me started on how our healthcare system is falling apart… even though we pay some of the highest taxes in the world…

Let's make Canada great again. Actually I'm kidding. Let's not go down that road. It's easy to poke holes, and cherry pick problems, much harder to appreciate the good things we have. Canada has problems for sure but every place does and we really don't have it so bad. Unreasonable expectations are just as big of a problem as high prices. If Vancouver is too expensive then go somewhere else. I did. Canada is a big place. Very big. There are loads of opportunities if you get out of the rut you are in and stop thinking that life owes you a certain lifestyle.

I work with a few Indians that live in Brampton. They actually all say the same thing that there are too many Indians there ?

The GOVT WONT solve this problem because if they actually meet the 5M new houses target and the housing becomes more affordable, imagine what happens to the cost of the existing houses and the loans that go along with it! Many people have just bought houses at 3X the asking prices thinking they can sell it 5 yrs later and never actually to pay it off, all those people will be screwed and in banks will be screwed in return. This huge immigration was just to strengthen the vote bank and not really to improve the economy of the country. It's a very old political strategy and people still get fooled and vote for it. Liberal parties just openly encourage immigration to just get a good vote bank and stay in power. Best of Luck Canada!

I got my permanent residency in Canada (my spouse is Canadian)\nAnd I ended up giving it up and moving back to Australia because it is such an actual dumpster fire in Canada right now. I’ve spent many years moving back and forth on and off.

Canada is the safety deposit box for China & Canada's military is America's backup. The government are faciliting hard drugs via tax payers who are starving & some are actually homeless. Canada has been intentionally fucked.

Do you actually think those immigrants wanted to go to Canada! They are all the US immigration rejects!

It’s actually sad to see the collapse of your home country.. now I know what it was like when my grandparents came after WWll to leave there home.. such a hard feeling

What are these white Canadians talking about this isn’t your actual country your ancestry goes back to Scotland, United Kingdom, France or Germany. Canada belongs to indigenous people

U know how often it is teens or young adults use a Kirpan or a Kada bracelet as a weapon in fights? Quite alot lmao. \nSome even have their iron Kada bracelets with sharp edges or spikes on it lol, using it could do serious damage or cut them even or the ones with spikes u can stab. \nIt’s totally insane honestly that a weapon can be passed as a religious item. \n\nWhile Kirpans are usually blunt but the religion does not require a specific length or sharpness of it so its actually up to the individual to decide, so if they want it super sharp to shank ppl.. well its legal cuz its they’re religious item

Just wondering ... how many canadians are in india??? Why do indians keep referring to themselves as minorities ... arent there more of them than anyone else world wide??? Indian govt admit australian aboriginals are actually indians ... is that symbolic or dna fact???

thats how they are actually, thats their real face

I think hockey players have a 30% higher income tax than any other occupation. Nobody in their right mind would want to play for a Canadian team. So, clearly, Mitch Marner and John Tavares are out of their gordes, becaue they actually wanted to play for the Queefs, er, I mean, Leafs.

? well actually there are a ton of Canadian's that live in Florida. ? I know that much ? If your a hockey fan!

No, medical care is not good in Canada. Diagnostics are not good. Doctors never knew what is going on and don't seem to care. Italy and Germany are way better and have integrated understanding of medicine. ~ And, no, Canadians are not friendly but quite hostile and rude actually. I came here 30 years ago and it has gotten really bad in the last 10 years.

You actually can flip the switch overnight to build massive amounts of housing.

Hated every time Canada voted in Trudeau and his Liberal govt. He's flipped this country in so many ways in the last 10 years. All changes made the country worse. Actually, blame Toronto voters for voting him in again and again. Western Canada has always voted against him.

The misinformation is mad, i mean its actually just called blindness ?

It’s actually Israeli land

Bro actually was islam phobic same time his accents-

This is not new actually....when i came in 2023..they did the same thing to me

I dont understand how Canadians will protest for everything outside of our country but not for our own country? if everyone gathered together and protested across canada to get this goof out of power it would most likely actually work lol!

Canadian born citizen and my dream is leave and find a country where I can actually buy a house. And my husband and I are both high income earners but it’s still not enough to buy a home without living paycheque to paycheque and in constant fear of missing a payment and losing the house. Uncontrolled immigration has ruined this country in less than 15 years.

Canadians don't want immigration. No country's citizens actually want immigration

Omg, did you actually go to journalism school? You talk to 3 people and then make a sweeping generalization--ouch! I had to stop at 3 minutes as it was clear you had an agenda. Btw, I live in Richmond BC where we have experienced a similar spike of folks from China and Hong Kong. It's a challenge for sure but the answers lie in open, respectful communication, not overt racism. Btw, where did your grandparents come from? We are almost all immigrants, except for our First Nations.

Just for your information. A simple logical search can give you abundant knowledge and probably enhance everyone's perspectives.\n\nIndia\n2022 Nominal GDP in Current U.S. Dollars: $3.39 trillion\n2022 PPP Adjusted GDP in Current International Dollars: $11.87 trillion\n2022 GDP Growth: 7%\n2022 Nominal GDP Per Capita in Current U.S. Dollars: $2,388\n\nCanada\n2022 Nominal GDP in Current U.S. Dollars: $2.14 trillion\n2022 PPP Adjusted GDP in Current International Dollars: $2.27 trillion\n2022 GDP Growth: 3.4%\n2022 Nominal GDP Per Capita in Current U.S. Dollars: $54,967\n\nIndia is a much richer country than Canada and is much stronger economically as well. Probably since it's far and since education is so scarce in the information age maybe it's difficult for people here to comprehend. The only reason India is lacking behind is because of it's abundant population and it was not blessed with self rule up until 1947 which kind of derailed it's progress by years thanks to European Colonization and discrimination. \nJust as an example for folks who are ignorant to see India as a third world or poor or poorly run country - \n* The way India handled Covid for 1+ billion people is something close to impossible for Canada with a meagre population of around 40 million. \n* You don't have to wait for months or weeks for normal checkups, MRIs, doctors and so on. \n* You don't have to pay $50+ per month for a meagre 10-30gb data instead it's less than $4 per month for 1-2gb/day data (yes per day)\n* The military budget of India is 66 billion dollars while Canada's is a meagre 26 Billion dollars.\n* India is capable of launching advanced missions in Space and has single handedly indigenously created aircrafts to land in moon and space exploration.\n* India has home grown automobile companies like Tata Motors (which owns Jaguar and Land Rover), Mahindra and many more while I don't see any homegrown automobile companies in Canada.\n* India has more than 170 billionaires while Canada has around 70.\n* India's richest people won't even bother to invest in Canada because it's not a viable market, but the economy in India is booming and will continue to do so.\n* Despite the population the country is managing in such a way that Canada can only dream off. Just because you had the privilege and the means to be developed does not give you the right to demean other nations. It's really nothing that you did, it's just pure luck, right place, right time, white superiority, destruction and so on which enables you to live such privileged lives and now you are crying when people are actually working hard to provide some competition.\n\nDon't you think regardless of race or ethnicity, every human being deserves the best life? \n\nBefore you judge a country do some research. \n\nYes, the people in general have a different thought process where in prominence is not given to space, way of living, probably you can put it up as standard of living and the quality of thought process. But that's always the case with generalization. I know it's hard not to when you see it, but being a better human is all about thinking beyond that. Yes people in India are general prone to having a shortcut process, at the same time, highly skilled people are abundantly present. In the information sector and other highly skilled areas, they are present earning loads of money which reverberates to more tax money for the government. \n\nI know that they have major issue with absorbing the host country culture and I believe that can probably or maybe alleviated by having some cultural programs so that they can fit into the society so that the Canadian culture is upheld. It's always difficult to see changes around you and your home being in your words being raided by foreign entities. Guess what? The world is filled with different ethnic groups. Hundreds of years ago all your native homes were part of the indigenous people here and they didn't even have time to complain or lament online when the Europeans butchered them and massacred their homelands, claiming the land and setting up as their own. Now you are in a position to call something your home and we all know what all your ancestors did regardless of how good you are right now. The least you can do is not comment such provocatively online against other ethnicities or is this atrocity still there in your blood. It's very simple. Try to think beyond frustration and be grateful for what you have. \n\nBy the way I can write more but I don' think it's worth my time but maybe positive things can happen if you put your mind into.

When I told my fiancé in 2019 lets move back to my country of Russia she was hesitant \nBut now that she is settled and we have 3 kids is actually happy we did it

Trudeau has nuked the way of life that Canadians used to enjoy. The problem with the election system is that you could get elected prime minister even with about only 30% of the popular vote. Not saying that a popular vote is the right way to go, but we have a population of around 38 million, and only about 30% actually voted for Trudeau. Canada is a sinking ship.

Oct 2015 is when Canada chose to point ship at ice berg and max accelerator full throttle\n\nOnly real change I see that guy done for that country is created heaven for criminals\nThank God I was able to move back home to Russia. Is actually better and I would recommend people try\n\nMy question to those who voted him if you owned a business would you actually hire Justin ?

What exactly did Canadians expect from voting trust fund baby obsessed by dictators \n\nWhat actual qualifies does he actually have ? \nYet brainwashed Canadians are like Californians and keep voting same socialist.

Yeah, some religion has faith in ak 47, some has bombs ? with their bodies, i dont know if they have such believes like that what the heck they are doing in other countries with their beliefs why they don’t stay their own countries where the people actually knows about their beliefs.

I actually don’t like them either.

Absolutely shameful video completely lacking nuance and in some cases full of blatant misinformation. 7% of Canadians move to the US? Seriously? Your highlighted text clearly says 0.7%. Cost of living in Canada is higher than the US? Have you...actually ever been to the US? Or, looked at statistics like the CPI? Living in the US is in no way cheaper.\n\nWe have genuine issues here and they need to be talked about, with a nuanced lense. This video and your production company are clearly intent on enabling polarization for views rather than being actually informative. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

It's actually pretty hilarious to see white people complaining about being a minority.

it's the biggest dump I ever had misfortune to live in. Unlike Europe, the cities are block-like, ugly, grey, and polluted. There's homeless , drugged up zombies everywhere. Cars run you over everywhere. There's no culture of humanism (just for show). It looks like a 3rd world war zone without a single soldier or shot being fired ! Quite an accomplishment. On top of that, taxes are in the top 3 highest in the world and you get almost nothing for this huge cost. Other countries have half or a third of the taxes and have better infrastructure and pensions! I had parents who worked entire life, paid 50% tax and get 2k cad (like almost 1.3k usd) a month! What an insult to justice this socialist dump exemplifies. Huge costs, low quality of everything. You have to be a Sadist to set foot in this country. Northern Extremes like Canada and Russia are actually very similar in bad outcomes.

Groceries is actually food items, not the non food items you mentioned first. Look it up in your dictionary.\n\nLovely video concept!

what happened here actually? i cudnt understand a bit. ???

An international audience should see how racist Britain actually is and that occurrences like this are frequent, regular and encouraged by the government, Brexit was about racism don’t forget.

Who cares? Am i the only one who actually loves desi people and their culture?

okay. you've got a white guy doing a bit on demographics in brampton. separates 'indian' from 'punjabi' and sikh' and then throws in 'hindu' and 'pakistani. maybe go look those terms up before you put them on the same histogram (ONE person can actually identify as a few of those things simultaneously - and one of those terms is a RELIGION whereas some of them are GEOGRAPHIC and others are CULTURES. \n\nfor your next clip are you going to talk about markham having ASIAN, CHINESE, KOREAN, PACIFIC ISLANDER, PINAY, CHristian, Catholic and Japenese etc and not being able to figure out the differences lol.

Sorry but you're all immigrants, actually the Indians look more like the Canadian natives (first nation people) than the white european immigrants

The problem is Canadians expect government to solve everything when government is actually the cause of the problems.
