This is wrong 60% of Us working class people make only 30,000 thousands per year im talking net per year that gross up to 42,000 you have that right only 37 per cent population owned realstet and the homes are overpriced by minimum 130 percent

I can fully relate and agree with everything you said and more not said. I never thought I would hate being Canadian or my home country but Justin pushed me past the line. And I even premoted that elitest spolied ahole in the first elections. Now I want him well it starts with D. \n\nI live between Winnipeg my home town and Montreal over the last 20 years. And I like and hate both cities at times but realize neither are lovable. \n\nMontreal is grey 80% of the timeand the people are so rude and hurtful. I hate the french just absolutly hate them. Not becasue of the langauge, but how they are so gross in every standard of life. They speak a way that is offensive and rude. They hate all outsiders and want to live in a closed embreed society.\n\nI couldn't imagine how nice this city could be if they would drop the bs discrimination of the nonsense language laws. It is systimatic discrimination. \n\nWinnipeg is green and sunny in summer but winter is very very harsh as Canadian all know. Winnipeg has friendly people, but also some very violant people to the point I get into fights and or breakup fights and had to open carry a knife, and do wing chun. It is just harsh all around. \n\nThen I look into Toronto, and well that is even more expensive then anywhere else. \n\nAs I say I agree with all your points and maybe Portigal or Spain are intersting. Maybe after this was in Ukraine I will go there to make money, and move to a nice affordable place where I can keep working and enjoy the changes it offers me.

Fucking gross.

Gross

Gross, those southern counties should get it together. Why should US have to let in millions of excuse me broke, uneducated, non English speaking, wayward B people…. Endlessly.\nOh, to get on the Democratic dole, & eventually vote Democratic for more of this. Ugh.

Crazy that 100+ years ago this would likely be considered an act of war. By literally almost any country.\n\nDisclaimer: No, I'm not suggesting war be made on anyone over this. I'm merely putting the enormity of mass border storming, by force, into perspective for the gross violation of sovereignty that it is.

Need to install laser guided machine guns automatic fire Is gross wine and say goodbye

CANADA IS AT FAULT FOR HOW THEIR COUNTRY IS DOWN THE DRAIN NOT JUST FOR THIS BUT FOR NOT DOING THEIR JOBS AT ALL. GROSS

Gross \n#buildthewall

The comment censorship here is an assault against all Canadians. It's gross.\n Just look at all the pulled comments. \nWelcome to Chinada.\nGet started on your mandarin.

Send back every person that crossed during Trudeau's marxist authoritarian Chinese aided government.\n Give our poor mentally ill struggling veterans the 100s of millions $ instead of criminals who've done nothing but hurt Canadians by forcing thier way in by abusing Canadian rules thanks to the despicable, gross trudeau governments actions.

I actually don’t like American fast food it tastes gross to me

Im 28 and i can also say that its hard to eat. Im so bored with everything around here because its all basically the same foods. Just burgers or pizza or shakes etc. Everything is so greasy and gross

My wife had a business trip in San Diego just last week where she and her coworkers were set up at a resort for a few days. Her coworkers were all making fun of her for ordering water bottles and not drinking the tap water. Tap water here is gross everybody.

French is gross

Ya let’s add a large city of population to where ? These ppl won’t be moving up into the northern regions; they will be in all then main cities which already have housing crisis, healthcare log jams, traffic delays, good job availability… we already have enough homelessness n lineups at food banks… n until we have an economy where the 100k i gross working 65hrs a week which turns into 67k can at least qualify me for a mortgage for a small house in any city when u make that kind of money and have 150k down; then I don’t see any good in this for any middle class hard working citizen… just liberal politicians who want votes and to look good virtue signalling.. how many of our tax dollars already go to humanitarian aid, and wars in countries 10s of thousands of miles away nowhere near the americas… we have r own problems here but 500 000? A yr that’s ridiculous not definitely not feasible

Another way to dehumanize minorities amazing and all of yall agreeing with them should check yourself. This is gross behaviour, we need to stand with each other in desperate times not perpetuate discrimination based on religion, caste or race. We collectively suck ass yall-

You ladies could move here to the south U.S. Realize that almost everything you've been told about us is a lie or gross exaggeration. Stay away from the cities but most other places are a great place to be free from tyranny. At least for the time being. Many are working hard towards changing that, ironically, from non southern states.

$10M gross revenue \n- 3$M expenses \n= $7M net income \nWhat a naïve justice system

I have to respectfully disagree with you girls on the tax system in Canada. You mention that you cannot be a millionaire or a billionaire. \n\nI really think that is the problem with our generation, excessive greed, everyone wants to be a millionaire/billionaire, but the reality is most of people in this world will only live an average middle class life or below, that has been the case throughout history in every country on earth. \n\nInstead of wanting to be a millionaire you should strive follow your passion and to master your craft, and if and when you do so, the end result maybe you achieving millionaire billionaire status \n\nThis how most rich people got their wealth, they worked at their craft and had passion and eventually they got the wealth that came along with it \n\nI agree with Canada's progressive tax system, the only problems we have run into since 2010 is that the government has been misallocating taxes collected and giving co-operate tax breaks. But the principle of the progressive tax system makes sense, because up until recently (2010ish) it prevented the nation's wealth from accumulating at the top and in the process increased the velocity of money.\n\n This enabled business to thrive because money was constantly changing hands instead of being concentrated at the top. \n\nThis had an overall effect of enabling most Canadians to join the middle class and in turn make Canada an attractive destination for many immigrants including your selves \n\nIf Canadian system did not have a progressive tax system, there would be gross inequality with all the associated problems (crime/drugs etc). \n\nI really think prospective immigrants should be realistic about their expectations before moving to Canada to avoid dissatisfaction. \n\nIf you could not be a millionaire in the country you were born in and of which culture you belong, but some how you believe that you can move half a world away and become a millionaire. \n\nYou know part of the reason you could not even achieve middle income statust in Africa (I am from Africa as well) let alone be a millionaire is because all the wealth in most African countries is concentrated in the hands of a few corrupt bastards in the government. \n\nThis concentration of wealth at the top is possible when there is no progressive tax system and ensures economic equilibrium in all sectors of the economy\n\nIt is the reason why there is no jobs or opportunity for young people in developing countries \n\nDo not get me wrong you can still be a millionaire in Canada, but you will have to really earn it, there is no shortcuts in life\n\nPatience, passion and perseverance is the key.

Ima just say it you soft as hell if u can't handle the cold. There's sooooo much to do with it you gotta find out what's best for u. Skiing, snowboarding, sledding, ice skating, pond hockey, snow mobiles all so much fun. Also the summers are beautiful and warm not hot, gross and sticky like the south of the US

I've grown up in suburbs all my life, when I was a kid I would play outside with other children, but I do not see this happening now with the children of this day. I too now spend almost all of my time indoors, it has become increasingly easy to live like this. My neighbors are the same way, nobody knows each others names in the neighborhood. I am very grateful for the immense comfort and privilege that my background has provided for me, but you come to realize that American culture is gross and inhuman, materialistic and plastic, very lonely. I long to see the other ways of life on this planet when I have the means to travel\n\nIn the last 15 years especially, the westerners (at least in North America) have all retreated to their caves, their eyes fixated on the shadows on the walls of the cave. Reality passes them by and they waste their life, the most they can hope for to ease the loneliness is a friendship over Discord (but in the end this only contributes to them spending more time indoors). \n\nNorth Americans are moving towards a never ending stream of escapism through consumerism. First it was TV, then video games, next is virtual reality. They will be enveloped in a 24/7 stream of hyperreality, forever overstimulated and oblivious to the real world.

If you get a chance, please visit Grosse Île, Québec. There is a memorial there where around 5000 Irish buried. ?

Omg gross

Nice summary of the main challenges. Reading some of these comments leads me to believe that if one is motivated solely by money, Canada is not a great choice for you as an immigrant. The number of commenters hoping to move to the US from Canada due to greater opportunities to make money while ignoring the real and substantial disadvantages of living south of the borders just emphasizes this. My family are immigrants from the US and we didn’t face the same challenges as immigrants from countries further afield but I do understand the differences between the two countries very well and can state unequivocally that moving to Canada was the best decision our family made. Lower crime, better health care (yes even with the wait times), a fairer system and a “boring” but sane political system more than compensate for the few extra dollars I would make south of the border. In terms of where better prospects going forward for children and grandchildren, with the looming threat of climate change, Canada wins hands down. Extra income means little if you have to spend all of it on personal security and health care deductibles. So if you are only motivated by top line items like gross annual salary, Canada might not be for you and you would be better off looking elsewhere and leaving that immigration spot open to someone who can appreciate the more balanced offering that a new life and future in Canada can offer.

As a Japanese American this is just disgusting in many ways. I can’t even explain it like I hope everyone knows in the end, we are all human it doesn’t matter what we look like we are still human. But yep humanity is gross.

This comment section is gross. I understand the anti-islamic sentiment in western countries, but I don't support it. I see comments about how people flee from muslim countries, but this is not because of their religion. There is a shortage of resources in these countries that leads to war and terrorism. The vast majority of muslims are good people, and America and Canada have plenty of space for families fleeing the middle east. Gross comments on this video...

Does the word 'refugee' not have any meaning to anybody anymore? Pffft. It's like this in Europe. Let's be honest, most are economic migrants not refugees and I find it deeply insulting to see such powerful words abused and entirely watered down in meaning. It's like the gross abuse of words like 'phobic', 'fascist' and 'racist' etc. The more you fling them around as pejoratives that enforce or heighten some emotional angle in your rhetoric, as a dopey shorthand smear word, the greater the REAL damage. If you genuinely care about words and their meanings. There's nothing wrong with immigration whatsoever, the problem is illegal immigration and people who play the system. It angers everybody, especially other legit immigrants, interestingly enough. I laugh at these soft-headed, sheltered types believing all the sob stories they're fed, the images they first see and take entirely to heart. When you live 'in it' you can spot a load of old bollocks a mile away.

So I have over 40% deducted from my gross income in the USA...30% sounds pretty great.

AS A MUSLIM I AM GROSSED OUT BY THESE MEN

I'm %100 European (Scottish, French, British, Irish, Welsh and Scandinavian. I had my DNA tested through four different companies) but because I have naturally very dark brown hair and brown eyes I have been treated differen, watched in stores, talked down to etc. I've had someone tell me I ''must be a dirty foreigner or something with my gross black hair.''

Even is Canada nice,discrimination is wide spread. I am from Minnesota. I have never treated people like this. 40 years in retail. Maybe that is why these folks returned to buy from me all the time. I personally am sic about profiling. I waited on CEO of companys that grossed 100-500 million. It never paid to profile. \nBTW young white people in suburbia are about 20% more likly to ripe off a electronics store.

she's got that gross nasally canadian voice

Islam.....gross. makes me throw up in my mouth.

So gross.....

Anti-Islam sentiment, a growing concern? Hello, that's putting it far too mildly. They are violent freaks. Putting their women in tents is gross. You have an intro like that w/ terrorism abroad and in Canada and you wonder why we hate them? Gee, that's not difficult. They tried to pass sharia law in Ontario. Yes, we hate them and we do NOT want anymore of them or their intolerant, racist bullshit, because that's what they bring.
