I've known people from 3rd world who came here and went back, because they thought this place was better, and discovered it was like every other hellhole. Pretty wrapper with rot underneath. Canada is no place to build happiness. It's a place to live in a daze, drowning in bills all life to end up lower than you started. In more of a dump with more desperate people. Impersonal, hostile, without an identity. Garbage country. I live here and it's everyday misery and pointlessness. Hollow life, hollow people. Complete meaninglessness. And a tyrant power tripping prime minister.

I was on a family trip to Niagara Falls with my family and I was surprised to see how many indians where there. And what surprised me the most where the indians sitting in a circle on Clifton Hill right next to the sky wheel passing joints and getting high in public without security saying anything. Im so sad my children had to witness that... So my kids remember some of the attractions and the smell of weed that was everywhere...

When you spend all your money on flight tickets and hotel trips all over the world of course you can't afford to live anywhere

Canada has very kind government - accepting all people from around the world, our health system is overloaded. Today I took a short trip on a bus , I saw two recent migrants: one old black man in wheelchair and huge young but mentally ill black man - he was screeming and throwing his enourmous fists all time during the trip - passengers were terrified. It is very different picture from what was 20 years ago.

I'm an immigrant living in Sweden. I've been to Germany several times, including on business trips and even though Sweden has its quirks, I'd never trade my life here for Germany. You know how people say Swedish people are cold? Well, compared to Germans, they're practically latinos ?

Just came back from a month long trip visiting friends and family in Toronto and this is by far the biggest topic that has been brought up in every conversation I've had. But you can always tell it's a taboo topic when it comes out only in the comfort of their own homes or after 2-3 beers. ?

I’m from US , it’s not worth the trip , it’s very dangerous , and they will deport you back , Do not take the chance.

Western Europe is now Poland. If unsure just book a trip to both countries and you will see, its just next door.

We all have our destiny to experience and live out. Sometimes we think the decisions we make are in our control. After leaving Vietnam, I never would have expected the life I have lived so far. After living in LA for a very long time, I decided to move, and it was the perverbial question, where? Leave the States totally, return to Calgary, or else where. A former company was finishing building a new facility in Australia, which I thought would be ideal having been a manager there. In between I took a trip to Europe for the first time, which caused me to rethink my plans. Two years later I moved to Europe, hook, line and sinker, no job, no place to live, no nothing, just did it. I have no regrets after 30+ years living, working, enjoying my life here. It's not for everyone, but it was my destiny. I've lived on 4 continents, 7 countries and on an island.

I am going on a long trip to Heaven. Jesus is coming very soon !!

I am in New York and I have been thinking for a while now... but I happen to be a civil servant - this type of job is comfortable, but not re-locatable. So for me this would be even more major. Do they need American civil servants in Vietnam? j/k. But I have looked at your trip to China and might look it over again. Somehow I think you are moving to Europe - not Asia! Andora or something like that? Good luck!

Very suspenseful waiting to see where you can live better. You loved Charlottetown, Fredericton, but also Bali, Thailand, Tokyo. And if you're too parents can take winter trips to wherever you are. Gordon seemed really happy in SE Asia. Double residence in rural Saskatchewan and somewhere south? It is so mysterious. Like some TV serial.

I applaud what you are doing. At 80 years old I recently drove 2100 miles to get a better rent price. It was a weeklong trip. I hope I can still to this in the future. Because my soul is still hungry and my wallet is still empty most of the time because of the same problem in the USA as you have experienced in Canada. I don't follow everything you post, but I'm still a loyal fan. Wax on, мій друг.

You’re not the only one. Welcome to the club. ?. Cambodia for me. 72 years old now with a quadruple bypass. Lived all my life in Canada, paid my dues. Spoke up for freedom for Canada all the time. Too old for that now. \n I spent four months in the mountains of northern Thailand, and two months in and around Siem Reap, Cambodia. Decided on Cambodia. Wonderful place. It has its problems, but improving. A single westerner can live a simple life there on $700 U.S. a month as long as you don’t waste your money. I have at least $1200 a month available, so no problem. A very comfortable and secure life. \n Tropical…so no heating bills…and no snow to shovel. \n Cambodia is also central to the area……easy bus trips to Thailand, Laos, Vietnam when you want to visit those places. Not too long a flight if you want to visit India and Sri Lanka. \n I’ll fly out again this spring, 2025…..and this time I won’t be back. Bye bye Canada ✈️ ?? ?? ? ? ? ?? ☸️ ?

Even so, I think there are few countries in the world better than Canada. Although, I only have memories of a trip to Canada from 15 years ago…

What is needed to teach escape velocity is firstly, courage. Secondly, you need insurance coverage. You can be ruined just by going for a day trip from Canada to USA if you would have a car accident or a heart attack while abroad. This is very serious. Secondly, once you are old, living abroad might turn out to be impossible just because of health care coverage. The book millionaire expat ( everybody should read it) gives you an insight of where you can retire and for how much.

I left Canada at the end of last year. After years of busting my butt and trying to get ahead, i wasn't going anywhere. \nThe job that i had worked at for years decided to outsource my entire team to another country and i was left with a decision to try and atart from scratch or atart fresh elsewhere. \nSo i booked a flight to Thailand and i spent three months there. While going on a border run to get a visa extension, i went to Cambodia. It was just a short trip, but it keftnits mark on me and ive been here for almost six months now. \nI didnt like how i felt back in Canada and i didnt like what i was seeing the countey become. Instead i ended up in a country that had been through one if the worst thjngs imaginable and the people were the most lively and welcoming that I've ever met. They decide to put light into the world and that resonates with me. \nGood luck with your next chapter. Change can be great. Its also easier to adapt when you find a place you love

I can identify with a lot of your comments. I live in the United States, where I have lived all my life. It's a great country and I'm thankful for the life that I have had here, but things are changing and it no longer feels like the same country that I grew up in. To add some perspective, I grew up in the 70's and 80's. My wife is from Colombia, and I have been there 11 times so far ( trip number 12 coming in a few months), and I love Colombia. I am planning to move there when I retire. I know it's not a perfect place, as there is no such thing as a perfect place, and there will be some things that I will miss about my life in the states, but it feels like the right choice for my retirement. I can hear in your voice how you feel conflicted, and I have those same feelings. Ultimately, we all have to make the choices that are best for us as individuals.

I find it hard to believe that these migrants are having an easier time getting into Canada than the US. I've been to Canada 6 times as an American tourist and except for my recent trip up there to see the eclipse, the officers always asked at least 4 questions about my trip and plans like where I'm staying and one time how much money I had. One time when I went they did that 'secondary inspection' where they look through my luggage and enquire about items (in my case several electronics which most people travel with). These people who are going to Canada probably have enough money for a typical weeklong trip and probably have hotel reservations, etc. Other things immigration officers ask often is what kind of work you do and when you are due to report back to work, as well as who you live with. They want to be sure you have ties back home.

And here I am legally trying to visit USA as a tourist for a few weeks, enjoy a holiday and those gorgeous road trips and fly back home... ??

virtue signalers guilt trip the public. Do you really believe the government?

If these people coming are so poor. How can they afford to make the trips to Canada an the northern border. It's can't be cheap.

I was coming back from Hong Kong recently with a layover in Istanbul. Half the plane was allocated for a group of smelly migrants following signs for TSA trip. That half of the plane was trashed when they left. When I got to O’Hare, more signs for TSA TRIP.

As a Canadian whose grandparents were born here, trust me, its not our fault. Its our corrupt leadership. Or, its WEF influence. Canadians don't consent to the illegal migrants coming to Canada or the U.S.A. If I could join a militia that would protect the Canadian/ US border I would. Canada is ruined. I just took a trip to Buffalo New York, and it looks like U.S. communities are suffering the same hate-filled fate.

The Northern border has been an Issue for a while, it is how NY got flooded by Indians and Pakistanis to being with, they would get into Canada then go on a tourism trip to the US and never return. This has been an issue for at least 15 years.

If Americans don't wake up pretty soon there will be no safe place on the planet left to go! All the once sane societies are tripping over each other trying to get to the bottom first!

What would be nice is if Mayor Adams and the NYC Taxpayers would reimburse the new arrivals the $70 to 90 dollars they are paying the bus companies for the trip from the border to our great city.

And the buses are nice ! Round trip free !

They are pouring into my city Burlington vermont , I guess there must be transportation set up from the border to Burlington,as there is no public transport from the Vermont border towns to Burlington, about an hour trip.

Come here while you can, everyones going on a trip back in 2025!

Two migrants from Ghana crossed into Manitoba, Canada, from the USA in the middle of winter. They were not dressed for such a trip and suffered severe frostbite before they were noticed by a trucker after crossing into Canada. They spent weeks recovering in hospital. Iyal lost all his fingers but kept his thumbs, while Mohammed lost all his fingers and thumbs. The two were granted refugee status in 2017. So the medical care was paid for by the Canadian taxpayer, and, since you need your fingers for even the most menial job, chances are they are still being kept by the taxpayer. The US & Canada need a comprehensive policy on migrants

If you think this is a real threat, you are so hopelessly addicted to fear it boggles the mind. This is one of the most ignorant videos I have seen in quite a while. Drug cartels operate on a secret logistics, repeat customer business model. Relying on one way couriers is idiotic. Asylum seekers wouldn't be a problem if major countries(primarily the US) would stop destroying smaller country's government infrastructure and handing the reins over to corporations and mercenary gangs to operate as corrupt a system as possible so they can fill their pockets. How would YOU like to live in a country where the only jobs are near slave jobs and mercenary gangs roam freely, extorting you and stealing your kids to use as child soldiers or in sex trafficking? As for the Canada aspect... Canada does take in asylum seekers and refugees too. The only ones who would travel to Canada and then to the US either already have family in the US, a job lined up or they need to pay back the people who financed their trip.

1:55 Do people flying extreme poverty can literally fly on airplane to Canada? In Peru I am not in extreme poverty so I don't feel I need a U.S. sanctuary city to feed me, but I cannot afford such trips. That help to wealthy people seems unfair - _ -

I wonder what countries are running price & flight specials to Canada with a Bus ticket included for the rest of the trip maybe Cash needs to check into a few NGOs running from extreme poverty with a business class ticket or first class??

This is great news! Bye! have a safe trip.

Well said Saudi Arabia. A Tripping up moment the West is trying for a reaction like you don't care about them. Beautifully and graciously put❤❤. Palestine belongs to themselves.❤❤

Asylum is not “immigration” so the whole short has no sense. It doesn’t matter which way they went. If they seek asylum it’s ok. It’s not like booking a fcking holiday trip where u have several options. \n\nAnd those guys saying “liberals”. Are u dumb? This is a human right and even bs republicans and conservative committed to the human rights.

As long as the House of Saud and their princes can fly to Europe for luxury shopping trips, and eat off their golden plates...they won't offer anything but words.

Canada I would go only for a trip that’s a place I could never live in, way too cold for me also there’s not much to do only few interesting places in Quebec or Montreal and that’s it

Please help me to get this trip

Field trip to see the humans

They finally were able to save up for the beach family trip

His trip away from 100 acre woods

8:29 my tap water tasted like spiked sake. 10:12 Preach is right aba. I thought stuff like that was tripping until I traveled abroad for the first time since my balls dropped

We welcome everyone but please be respectful or we'll send you a free trip home

Trying to guilt trip the Arabs...

You mean a Trip to India.

People like this I have to deal with them everyday I work as customer service and this kind of people are sad in life and don't have power anywhere in their life hence they show power trip here

I traveled with my son and mother, we drove from Montreal to Florida . Did several stops along the way . Visited many things and I have to say it was a magnificent trip, my son was 5 at the time and made many new friends. For us it was very enjoyable. Our visit lasted one month. Love those Florida oranges ?

Aight so I went to Calgary in Canada last year for a vacation. I took about 20-30 ubers in total during my trip to Calgary. Out of those 20-30 Uber trips, ATLEAST 17-20 of the drivers were Indian. And ATLEAST 15 of them drove like actual maniacs. One of the drivers literally ran a total of 10 STOP SIGNS in the span of 1 hour, and almost ran over an entire family walking over a crosswalk.. I'm not gonna state the obvious but this doesnt seem right at all.. Maybe I'm just stupid idk.
