As a Canadian we are NOT the friendliest I have been in USA and I’ve met more nicer people here than in Canada.\nIn Canada there’s this “we are better than Americans” or “at least we aren’t American”.\nBut, really no Canadian has ever talked to me in the line at Safeway to ask how my day is going or a waitress hug me at ihop (that was odd I’ll give you that) but never in Canada have I had people genuinely be nice.\nThat whole “Americans” are rude is a lie that Canadians tell ourselves.

It has never been a nice place shit city with shit people

Many of these Indian people are actually very nice people, not all but most

We were military so lived right across Canada, and I can tell you the worst province in Canada is Saskatchewan. I don't have enough thumbs to turn down. The people are Very unfriendly. Think there better than everyone else, and if you need compassion from the police you won't find it there. I was with a group of military wives once and we all had to say the best and worst posting we ever had. Everyone said Saskatchewan was the worst. Nova Scotia and B. C the best. . The rest of the country is great. The Maritime provinces are the friendliest. Retired widow now and live in a small town Ontario. It's very nice here.

Good for her! , chalk one up for the people. !!! The system is geared for the rich, it's nice to see this.

I'm sorry it's too late for you and your people. Canadians are sick and tired of it. And we're gonna deport every single last one of you and you can't blame anybody but your own people. But it is nice to see somebody who's Indian admitting. It's the Indians that are causing the problems in Canada.

Host Sir Ji, why are you appearing to be putting down all those Wonderful hard ? ? ? ? ? ? working, civilized, cultured, peaceful, respectful, nice ? ? ?, law abiding, prosperous ? ❤️ ?, ambitious, helpful, nation builders, entrepreneurials, industrious and very educated Indian people ? ? ? ? ? ? . Indian people's existence have been assets in all countries in the World including U.S. Yes-India, England, Australia, Germany, Guyana, Russia, Canada, Singapore, Trinidad, Saudi Arabia, U.A.E, Qatar, Italy, Portugal Malaysia, Hong Kong, Mexico, South Africa, Fiji Island, Mauritius, etc for many centuries ! ! ! ! ! . What nonsense are talking about ? ? ? ? ? . Please ?????? stop ?????? it right now ! ! ! ! ! . You truly need to factor in Jealousy, lies, perhaps obvious racism, prejudiced, hate and enviousness against Indian population because all those wicked and evil people are all anti-Indians.\nTHANK YOU SIR Ji ???. May God bless You ???, all those good and blessed Innocent Indian people forever ???.

The people all have nice cars and trucks. It’s crazy shows you where the priorities are.

Moved from Canada last August (2024). This country used to be on par with Switzerland in terms of quality of life, work-life balance, how nice everyone was, you name it. After 2020 I couldn't recognize this country anymore. Moved back to Israel, a country that was overrun with corruption, war and looming financial crisis. Now I'm planning my move to Cyprus. I heard the people are extremely nice, there's practically 0 crime and the Island is amazing overall.

Again wanting to change the laws that are safety nets for the citizens ( American citizens ) but many in the sell out ( racist ) Republican Party who will used the new powers to best said whited up the population by evicting people of darker colors unless they have nice bank accounts may be on the eviction list of there ( sick minded thinking of ) cleaning house of darker skin citizens as the Nazi did in Germany in the 1930s

Back in 1960 Brampton was nice town known to many people from India

Good luck , Alina !\nI really hope you can find a nice future in somewhere ?in the world.\n\nAlso I hope Canada will be better country for living all people in Canada like before that like people can feel happiness with normal life( Everyone can live with work,living place,not to high cost food,tax,then go to see a doctor as soon possible etc…)\nI really hope that,too.

I am a 4th generation Canadian and I left for the US on a TN work visa. I love life down here and will never move back to Canada. I have a much better life. I can afford a beautiful home and a nice car and still have money left over to travel. I have a master's degree and I cannot afford to live in the People's Socialist Republic...I mean Canada.

O_o Well this is a weird situation. I didn't expect a Mexican American immigrant to support Trump. She explained that she was technically legal. However I really doubt this. Trump is extremely racist. He would still deport this woman anyway. Maybe it is not just a racism thing. Trump is a felon. Felons are the last people that would consider the law. It is nice that this woman went the extra mile to be legit, but I think she is still shooting herself in the foot.

This is why we can’t have nice things. Some people just can’t follow the law.

Canada really needs people who are committed to Canada and for whom a good life means not just money. Sad to say this there has been so much abuse of the systems here lately. Canada used to be known for its nice people. Not anymore. It is sad indeed. But we were a prosperous country of nice people.I hope we weed out the scammers, and get back on our feet.

Indian people are basically, very nice. Polite and kind! BUT - if they bring their politics here - THEY GO!

Excuse me Indian India is a big country that have all the resources they want why the president are the prime minister of India let him in bad people have to cut out all over the world that's not nice because number one they will never and they will not adopt the Western principal our life and God so why didn't you stay in India I'm asking you on the phone on the internet on the TV why the Indiana monster in India they come to the West they have nothing to do with the culture of the West that's very sad if we leave the Western go to India we will have to adopt your people who do not adopt on all these things happen because of weak prime minister weak member Parliament and the Northeast and North Justin Trudeau need to deport all of them that come here and student visa and his fake College

Oh and I guess texas will finally get there’s from sending people elsewhere. Do I want to play in the sandbox with Mexico NO! But the playground is big enough for us all. Stop playing dodge ball with all the countries. And fight nice.

Lower prices?! Of course that would be nice. Economically speaking, that means that a vast number of people want deflation. It could work in an economy not dependent on excess and consumerism, but the US economy is propped up on speculation and buying out of want rather than need. Deflation is considered an economic failure in this country. We target 2% inflation for fear that without it, people will buy less now and then there will be a downward correction on output and then jobs. \nIn any case, broad tariffs won’t be the answer to lower prices. A global economy is an efficient one, but often unfair or unkind in specific localities. The US has benefited from globalization and low cost labor elsewhere for decades. But the pendulum swung too far and now many Americans are feeling left behind. Tariffs could bring back jobs but on a 5 to 10 year timeline, not one 4-year presidential term, much less in a year.

People can say alot of nice things we will have to see what there actions are.

The Indian community are made up of very nice intelligent people I live in Niagara Falls and the people are very hard-working, pay their taxes like everybody else

A very nice woman with pathetic math of living jn her adorable country squeezed to leave the loveliest place for her due to unwise tax policy and unsolved ordinary life. Among all the wrong things bound here I would remind that at bad times we have courage to veer the torrent of good for new direction. It is the time to change and be patient cause success is always keeping slow move. I also know that loveless relations between people spread the world and bring devastation to souls. That's a pity that we mostly do nothing to retrieve it. But future is future and we will do that perfectly. My belief is my core thing inside me.

I don't think Trudeau and Trump feel the same way about each other as they did 7 years ago. Seven years ago was a different energy and now its a new energy between them. I also don't think it's nice that people run away from a citizen of their country that was newly elected as President. Donald Trump is human with feelings. We shouldn't do unkind acts towards him. Running to a different country to show President Donald Trump you don't like him is a HUGE act of unkindness that everyone sees.

Absolutely deplorable. She gave him an opportunity to say something nice like they won’t deport a 99 year old\ngrandmother who swam her from Cuba 50 years ago if she’s “one of the good one.”\n\nInstead he blamed the American people who gave them a mandate. You’re just a single issue voter who cares about their job or prolife, but you spoke loud and clear that they all have to go. Apparently it’s easy to find them even though they never did, and if you just ruin their life here then they will probably want to leave.\n\nAnd once they get rid of the illegals they can get to the bottom of why the police weren’t reporting that hundreds of thousands of Americans were being killed each year by border crossers because that’s what Trump said.

Ive lived in Winnipeg most my life. Vancouver for a time. It was too tough in vancouver but winnipeg has been very chill. Also as a diabetic I'm greatful for healthcare I only pay for around 20% of my meds. We've talked about moving somewhere where rent is cheaper, meds are cheap and groceries are affordable. But I've never found such place...I stay because the people here are amazingly empathetic, yet very strong. Its sad to have a liberal government that have conservative policies for the rich. Itd be nice to vote NDP for something different.

Its like hitler getting rid of the jews. Wow! Nice job people. You just voted for a fasist!! Trump is the devil!!!

I'm moving to Canada ... somewhere. It's very confusing. \nWhat would be nice would be a check off list for each territory (you could do it FIRST) with features. \nAccess to water within 10 miles \nCity library \nMuseum \nSnow removal \nGood schools \nPastry shops (I know this isn't a priority, but if you make the system easy enough people will do it for you.) \nRental prices more than 2,000 \nRental prices more than 1,000 \n \nGet the idea? \n \nI'm retired, financially well off, love reading, no kids (or grandkids) does Canada want me to move in, spend my money? Then make it easier. \n \n!I could click off my choices and have a list of small towns / villages.\n\nI have 6 pages of scribbled notes so far

nice lady- he can offend my people all he wants as long as I'm dandy? just goes to show you the absolute selfishnes that has taken over american culture. Me first. and dont give a $hit about ANYONE else? sad bleak outlook

The fact that there people in this comment section against this shit to get illegal immigrants out of this country is ridiculous but that’s the problem with some of you people too damn nice

Itll be nice to have things for american citizens once again and nkt helping people who didnt earn nor deserve it and come to this country and rip off and free load and talk down on being here bc real immigrants who came here legally most agree this is indeed the best country in the world and opportunity and as a person of color making things happen instead of making excuses the dems downing of the american peopel got old of vote for me because we're the way is dead the in last 16 years 12 of those years have been ran by dems and only gotten worse as the year goes on im a pround California born and raised but left their bc of how bad its gotten happy where im at for sure god bless america and trump MAGA ?

None of these nice people know how fucked the immigration system has become since 9/11… they all enjoyed a normal and sane process before then. The system is now totally and utterly broken.

Recorded yourself being an abuser clown asshat, you leave canada, Canadians are nice people you're not. Delivery guy is cute ❤

These simple minded individuals are not doing research\n\nHad she did research before Trump took office the first time she would have come across a video of Trump saying it would be nice to have a Country with just Blonde hair and Blue eyes People living in it \n\nWhen the Interviewer asked where would that Country be he replied why not America\n\nThat would leave her out \n\nHad she done her research she would know that \nChina has taken over Mexico as having the most immigrants coming into America \n\nI'm not against Chinese they have a right to come here \n\nMexican's aren't the problem Trump put fear into the minds and hearts of the simple minded Americans \n\nThis Country was built on the backs of Immigrants

You are hateful people, I have been to many countries and everywhere you are just hateful. \n\nAlso you love to take and learn from others, but you have absolutely nothing to teach.\n\nYou never accept any accountability in your negative ways, I can't even put up all the things you do, bottom line you are not nice people.

Yeah this is all nice and good but no Arab countries have agreed accept Palestinian refugees. They cry all day about the mistreatment of the women and children but none of these countries have lifted their fingers to help them. At the end of the day, these Arab nations simply don't want an influx Palestinian refugees but they sure like to pretend to have the moral high ground. Netanyahu is a monster. And he has gone beyond what is necessary. But Hamas is an evil organization that must be stopped. An organization that will sacrifice its own people in order to fulfill their agenda. There is no good side here and unfortunately it is the innocent people of Gaza who have to suffer because of the agenda of evil men.

She stood in line for hours/days to get green card?!? It takes a minimum of two years to get a green card. It's nice that she can stand in a parking lot at a fucking Trump rally and wax poetic about her people, many of which, are women and children that are only trying to escape poverty and violence ! ?

It doesn't always snow in Vancouver; some years like the last 2 years we had NO snow at all. But yes, it still gets cold and sometimes icy so make sure you have a winter coat, mittens or gloves and boots. Ear muffs are used by some while others wear a warm hat and sometimes there's a hat attached to your coat so that makes it easier. Stock up on either regular table salt or you can buy a heavier type of salt especially used to sprinkle where you want the ice to melt; like your driveway. Your car will need winter tires too and the guys at any gas station can put them on for you for a reasonable price while you wait. I'd also recommend buying a heating pad for your bed....one that covers the entire bed....it's just oh so nice to turn it on to high a while before climbing in; it feels like heaven and you'll be asleep real fast. When there's 2 people in a bed they can each adjust their side to whatever the degree of heat they want. Good night.......

Not everyone is like her though. Canadians are nice people.

This is the mindset of every one in Canada about immigrants. Least releasing they or their parents were one of them. It is the Prime Minister of Canada who acknowledged that to avoid recession they had to bring in many immigrants and now there are many. It’s is not nice for a senior to behave in such manner. With such behaviour from a senior people will not have respect for seniors.

I've lived here 6 years and can't wait to leave. Salaries are just enough to get by. I work full-time as an analyst and am looking for a minijob just to save money, which I already live quite modestly. It's easy to come across nasty unfriendly people, neighbors, service people, people in government agencies. I hate people staring in the most unfriendly manner or givng attitude for no reason other than they are nasty people. Don't get me wrong, there are nice people as well, but the bad experiences outweigh the good. Beauracracy is overbearing, personalities are underwhelming, the food scene is underwhelming, learning German is a big burden when you work a full-time job (and now I need a minijob too??). The country seems like it wants to diminish the human spirit and ambition. I definitely regret moving here. Many housing companies are over charging rent. I found out the company, Deutschewohnen, who owns my apartment was overcharging me by nearly double!! I had to go through a year long court procession to get them to lower it to the legal price which I won. And now they sent me a letter last month saying they are raising my rent, which is illegal and I have to go through ANOTHER court battle with them. Of course it is exhausting to try and find another apartment. Some people search up to a year. What a joke. And not to mention the dating scene. I've been single the entire 6 years and I'm quite an outgoing, friendly, loveable person. Dating Germans comes with own weird experiences and I refuse to give them a chance anymore, for my own mental health. If you're POC, it's not uncommon to come across strange sexualizations and general lack of understanding other's cultures. A couple years ago I was attacked by 8 men while walking home at night. I ended up in the hosopital and there was an investigation opened. The police asked me why they attacted me, which I didn't know since it was unprovoked. They just followed me for awhile, surrounded me and started beating me. The police said it was probably because I'm Asian. Meanwhile, I'm not even Asian!!! I'm Latino. ??‍♂This is the type of ignorance POC have to deal with in Germany. Also, I only have 1 German friend and all my other friends are immigrants (which I love) but this poses it's own frustrations because many people move here, then move away after a few years when they learn they can have a more fulfilling life elsewhere. So keeping long term day-to-day friends can be a challenge. The entire system is exhausting and there's not enough balance to bring joy to my life to want to stay. When I lived in NYC, an African American aquaintance had just moved there after living in Berlin for 8 years. She warned me not to move here because I will never feel I belong. I didn't listen. That was a big mistake. Germans can have Germany. I'll find my joy elsewhere. End of rant. haha

Almost a hundred years and not a single refugee is accepted by Arabs. It's almost like thy view the Palestinians as traitors for fighting against them for the rights to own Judea. No No that cannot be it the Ottomans are nice people and fair and just. =)

Well. Tell them, Both i am Interested. All the sihks i ever knew were very nice people. \nI worked with a few as my authority one was my authority\nand he was very good person\nand his brother\nwas a driver\nand he also very good

If YOU feel bad .. Don't ask nice people to take more. Force the winners to win less

Im canadian. I know it's a stereotype but people are just so nice in Canada. People do say sorry a lot, thank you, please. Lots of people hold doors for you, strangers love to small talk and are very friendly. It's pretty common that if someone drops their wallet, someone will return it to the owner. This is why I love Canada so much.

I live near Dearborn Michigan, and I know they broadcast adhan there for the residence. The muslim population there is huge. I am not muslim, and I never really thought about it, but it would be nice to live in a place where people shared my beliefs. I hope you love your new home! Your new neighbors are so lucky, you guys seem like such a sweet faimly to have next door.

Life long Torontonian, while there are very nice people living in Toronto, it's not the same as it was. \n\n1. Expensive\n2. Cold - emotionally \n3. Cold - really cold 1/2 the year

Sounds nice and eloquent.\n\nAs usual though, it's followed by practically nothing of substance.\nSaudis have only ever had two geopolitical tools: funding militants and fiddling with oil prices. Neither of those can help their fellow brothers and sisters in Palestine, so all they can do is just talk while people get butchered.

Canada has become an absolute dump under Trudeau. Head to Asia -- so many opportunities in so many safe, affordable, stable countries populated by incredibly nice people.

I'm 50 years old, was born in Canada and am contemplating moving. I do have a nice job and a home, and I'm not having any financial problems, but I don't see Canada finding a positive direction. Too many of our politicians are completely myopic, and have no idea what is going on in the country -- ideology over people. Was recently offered a nice job in Ukraine and am considering it.
