Elections can have very nasty consequences! Toronto is just(in) a prime example of bad governance. I just wait for any politician to explain why diversity always comes with higher crime rates and less affordability. Doesn’t need to be.

A somewhat depressing video, because it's an actually accurate portrait of the city, as it is. Toronto and Canada as a whole is governed by politicians and bureaucrats, who rely on experts opinion of what could be, if x,y,z all come together as envisioned. These pixie dust ideas are often aspirational, but sadly lack a base in reality. Slogans and cheerleading don't make things happen. Rarely is there enough funding to support implementation of these grandiose ideas, and somehow these same leaders ensure they get a chunk before anyone else, cause they have a standard of living to maintain. They just really feel for the pain and suffering of those who are not them. Toronto and Vancouver used to be Canadian examples, that those of us didn't live or want to live there could still be proud of. These cities also were viewed as examples to follow by other Canadian population centres. So the same issues keep reoccurring, because in abstract theory they could work. By the time reality shows that they are not working, it is too late, and too hard, and too embarrassing to change course. \nA very interesting video by a creator who took her rose coloured glasses ( we all have a pair just admit it), and sees what is and then says it out loud.

This is not a welfare State, don't expect everything free at taxpayers' cost, politicians pass all that cost to taxpayers, working people, we cannot continue to bear the burden of others !

Democrat Politicians caused this Chaos, and blame the Republicans for it.... fact is It was Democrat Politicians who have betrayed the Citizens of this Nation, and the other Nations who came here seeing that they were betrayed by the Same Democrats.....

This is all done deliberately in all western countries ,??? take in third world people and end up a third world population yourselves, it's utterly ridiculous !!! This is what politicians do to your countries !!

Do you know something a homogenous nation never is confronted with - genocide. Diversity is our enemies war strategy. You're here to exploit our electoral process for politicians seeking authoritarian control. You're all being exploited for their pursuits.

Be realistics, North America are sunk to till the botton by the politicians and they retrograde politics

Everyone talks about building more houses … we need more affordable housing not luxury houses where town homes are start at 600k with no upgrades lol … no politician talks about this. It’s just the general “we need to build more house” … “we need more affordable homes”. NO PARTY HAS A SOLUTION

This is an interesting overview of Canada and its many issues. I would love to see a follow up video or two looking into these same issues but from a few different perspectives. 1) regionally - Canada is very diverse so our regions are quite different in culture, problems and cause of each. The major regions are: Maritimes/Ontario/Quebec/Prairies/West Coast/ Territories. 2) because of our diverse landscape different races are attracted to different areas. I have not studied this impact on our racism and political issues but would love to see someone like you do so. It appears to me that immigrants are disproportionately gathered along the US/Canada border and big cities, particularly east and west coast. First Nations are disproportionately populated in Rural and northern areas where resources overall are less available to all races. I would expect to find that this population disbursement would also reflect in our political leadership. For example more populated cities are far more likely to have immigrant own businesses and politicians, In rural and northern communities politicians are more likely to be white because First Nations politicians would be more inclined to work within the First Nations political channels where they can actually do more good for their communities. 3) The diversity that makes up 'white' as a race. It appears to me that Canada historically has been more inclined to attract 'White' races versus other 'colours'. We have large populations of British, Swedish, Irish, Russian, Ukrainian, French, Norwegian, and Polish to name a few. All of which have large diversity in their culture and history but are often classified as 'white'. 4) The massive impact the past 5 + years of politics and world affairs have had on the divisions within Canada. Personally I see and feel far, far more judgements between races, economics and regions than ever before.

few points\n\n1. Trucking Operators/Restaurants are selling LMIA to totally unqualified people and using this bad moneys towards housing, few times buying 2nd and 3rd houses, very common in businesses operated by people from India/China. Government is totally blind\n2. Newly popped up colleges are offering totally useless courses to international students and probably funding some money to politicians , so they want Government to still have the barrages open for fresh out of school students and blue colored workers.\n3. These international students are not very qualified at the end of their courses and can only contribute to the economy to some extent , not a very productive and creative talent\n4. Totally unreported/un-taxed rental income is an another factor in bringing up an inflation, some people have more money, then they report.\n5. Governments priority seems to get people with beginner level skills/blue collars/restaurant workers , and not a real talent. They cannot create businesses.

Until you experience the horrors they have gone through don’t throw stones in glass houses the immigration system has been broken for years if people waited until it’s their time no one would realistically get through since there is a 20 year backlog and children who were brought here 20 years ago have been thrown out because they themselves were still not approved a decade or more later. Part of the issue is red state lax gun laws allowing cartels easy access to heavy machinery that can be taken back across the border. Do you really think corruption isn’t running all the way to the top and that the American government has not helped worsen the issues when any of these countries want control of their own fossil fuel. Consider how many rich people get to jump in line or border patrol on both sides being able to keep out legal crossings if you can’t pay their fees. If you fight the cartel military or government you will find yourself dead imprisoned and or tortured and if they are fleeing to save their family and willing to leave their whole life behind to go to a country whose language they don’t speak do you really think they can walk all the way to the border wait in a single file line hope they can request asylum and then wait 40 years to maybe get a call back for a hearing these ppl are forced into a rock and a hard place and for the majority of American politics most politicians have no interest on really figuring out a comprehensive and compassionate system to help get immigrants out of dangerous situations America barely cares about it’s homeless citizens veterans mentally or physically Ill every country is having serious issues because often leaders are really only looking out for themselves

Navada Utah Colorado California Arizona California N e w Mexico is occupied Mexico. I would say this government should just get rid of the corrupted Mexican goverment but most politicians of our government are just as bad, both governments belong in jail

Canada has a massive problem and it is the politicians currently in power. They have contributed to the economy crash with their self serving policies and the basically unlimited immigration!!!. You don't see politicians struggling. Ibet most of them are significantly increasing their personal worth while 90% or more of the population are going backwards fast. \n The point will come where people will revolt and throw out the baby with the bathwater and a massive social change will happen. The current elites will all cease to exist of become invisible

This is a never ending perennial controversy. I really cannot understand why he bothered to come to Canada, if things are so good at home. Many people send their children over without having to leave Nigeria (for example, politicians) Some people don't do their research or count the costs before they make the leap, the just follow the bandwagon. Canada is good if you are wise. I I share my take on this whole topic on my channel where I talk about moving back to Nigeria and the truth no one told me. To each his own.

And what about systemic discrimination in Nigeria ? How many white politicians are in Nigeria? Zero what amazing right got immigrant in Nigeria ?

Greedy politicians, city coucils and corporate board rooms are the downfall of Canada. \nLike many of my generation, if you didn't get ahead years ago, you're stuck now. I will likely emigrate away from Canada while it get's filled up with immigrants. \nI am a tradesman.

India mei corrupt politician hai

Greater Noida is also becoming the Canada/US/UK/China/JPN or so; what’s a modernisation …\nExcept the politics & politicians…\nSo funny…?????? ✈️✈️✈️???

DEMOCRATS!!! DIDN'T MAYORKAS AND Y'ALL SAY THERE WASN'T A PROBLEM AT THE BORDER? EVERYTHING TRUMP SAID IS TRUE, EVEN THOUGH YOU PEOPLE CALLED HIM RACIST FOR IT. NOW EVEN BLACK PEOPLE IN NYC PROTESTING IMMIGRANTS AND THE SAME POLITICIANS DECLARING THEIR STATES SANCTUARY CITIES ARE CRYING ABOUT IT. HYPOCRITES

Corrupt politicians caring for votes of Spanish speaking communities. Meanwhile most of our soldiers are in Korea Japan and UAE. Licenses r given to illegal immigrants but they don’t give visas to educated people who come here for work. Politics race religion bullshit

Canadian politician in power just used immigrants to get vote got what they want from them and are tossing em all aside...they should tell their familes back home it ain't worth it...*instead of thinking the grass is greener on the other side' fertilize your lawn instead*

Absolutely ridiculous, politicians are killing the USA. They only care about themselves, holding onto power.\nThe military should put up machine gun nests every hundred yards down the entire US / Mexico border. I GUARANTEE this shit stops immediately. Military is too woke nowadays, Biden is a goddamn criminal joke. Everyone is watching, our Country is laughed at, a complete joke!\nSoon as Trump is reelected, this ends immediately!! Absolutely ridiculous, no excuse for this BS

As an older person who migrated decades ago after protesting in my old country, I encourage young people below 45 to FIGHT for your countries. Fight bad goverments. 7 billion people on the planet cannot move to the few western countries that seem to work and appear attractive on the surface, it’s not possible. The taxpayers in those countries are feeling it. Look at the folks sleeping on the floor in NY! The homeless citizens don’t have places to sleep but politicians are lodging new border crossing migrants in hotels at taxpayers expense, creating resentment! \n\nFight those oppressing you in your countries. Black America “fought” to eliminate Jim Crow so we can even move here. Black America and the White allies who struggled for civil rights ARE the reason the west has even been tolerant of the amount of immigration in the last 40 years! \n\nThere is no peace without a fight… even after the civil rights fights including the million man March 60 years ago? by MLK, the struggle against racism continues. \n\nHe left because of his children but will find out in 25 years time that they will want to connect with their roots even after succeeding in the West. \n\nYoung folks, take African, Latin American, Caribbean and Asian countries back from oppressive greedy corrupt rulers to reduce the need to leave our places of birth. I “fought” oppressive corrupt regimes with other like minded folks when I was younger before leaving! I wish we were more that were interested in protesting! Now folks are giving up without a serious protest, distracted by entertainment and the illusion of utopian countries which is not true. They find out too late! \n\nWestern politicians and governments need to stop cooperating with oppressive governments in these areas if they truly want to tackle immigration. Freeze their stolen loot like we did to the Russian oligarchs, force them to return the loot into their various economies and create good middle class jobs! \n\nThe west works because most work is assembly line in nature, glorifies slavery. A doctor has a target of about 15 to 20 patients to see per day and rushes you out of his office because the corporation he works for only cares about money and KPIs! You really aren’t allowed to interact with patients and provide personalized service. A pharmacist has to fill anything between 200 to 350 prescriptions, give a certain number of immunizations and see a certain No of patients per day. There is no time for niceties! A corporate professional May work remotely but has to deliver on so many projects he is up till 10pm and only gets up to eat. We have beautiful homes, drive nice cars etc but MUST work like the clock in an assembly line fashion! Most of us pay so much of our income as taxes we end up with less than 70% as paychecks! Things aren’t always what they seem!

Biden administration openly welcomes ISIS and is shutting down ICE divisions across the country. We have a Trojan Horse in the white house. Please pray for America and pray the politicians wake up from their demonization. Only God can help Amerca now.

This is what your democrat politicians have created, ship all these illegals to these democrat states and let them sort it out. These democrats have voted for this.

Corrupt government and politicians

The politicians and the elite just want the children. Joe Biden and Jeffrey’s friends would love to have all the kids sit on their laps and discuss the first thing that pops up.

This is a corrupt meating by Dirty corrupt sleezy politicians.

You want answer to why this going on. \nGoogle USA.\nGov. Then do a search on treaties\nYou will find on the goverment website the treaties Biden signed our sovernty away and we are one country with old Mexico and Canada\n And not one politician either side has told you a word when they all know come on wake up America\nAm y'all are so lazy not a damn one will read this am look

The country failed them, the neighborhood failed them, the politicians failed them. Sad for Venezuelan people

Well made. Wish I had this info atleast a decade ago. I’m one of the Sanjay. Immigrated to US in 2008 from India. In the green card queue for 10 years. Not sure if I get it in my lifetime. I have a foreign born daughter who I brought here when she was only few months old. She might have to self deport in a few years when she is 21. This is her home and only country she knew.\n\nThe US immigration system is cruel for people like Sanjay. But every politician knows this problem after our advocacy efforts but nobody wants to touch it. They only want our tax $$$ ..

Canada doesn't have a housing problem. Canada has a money problem. Politicians just don't know how to make more money, so they picked the easy way out.

Utter chaos and they will demand amenities and get housing, SNAP and TANF. This is anarchy and Biden needs to send in the National Guard! Our schools are being overpopulated by immigrant children who get special attention from assigned teachers to teach them English and translate language. In Chicago undocumented persons can now become police. Imagina a non US citizen pulling you over for a traffic citation, he/she broke the law by sneaking into the USA but now can be sworn in as a cop! Charity begins at home but our politicians sermingly care more about undocumented immigrants than American citizens.These governments are neglecting their citizens and are enjoying the fact that citizens from Latin America are draining our economy.

can you homeless and refugees go directly to all the liberal politicians homes in ottawa and camp there

Canada is strong and promising in natural resources, but their politicians are a 100% responsible for the affordable housing crises and skyrocketing cost of living

We should swap one politician per immigrant

Currently homeless.. wish we had better ways to help our people. If only our politicians didnt get paid far more than they need. If only we stopped big corporations a long as time ago.

I would not even cross the border, currupt cops are every where, just like the politicians in charge

And Venezuela has the biggest oil field on the planet bigger than Saudi Arabia and there government has no clue how to take its people its people out of third world living conditions? Greedy corrupt so called politicians is why. invest in your country in your people through trade, technology and infrastructure. There stuck on STUPID how dumb can you really be? Being greedy and corrupt thats how.....

Speaking as a Canadian, I couldn't imagine moving to the US. Gun violence, crowds, lack of health care, the prison industry, elected judiciary, heavily polarized politics, racism, the preference for individualism over tactfulness and shunning of people on social assistance are cultural elements I couldn't endure. Despite the fact the weather's often much better, lower air fares or cell rates, abundant shopping choices, interesting places to visit and the friendliness of most Americans, it's a hard no. We already have enough American influence here and sadly, I live in an area led by ignorant politicians who'd like to adopt us policies.

The new slave class for rich politicians

lamest politician

Send them all to democrat politician's homes... Pelosi, Biden, Harris, Obama, Clinton's, Sanders, AOC

I vacationed in the US often in the 70s and 80s. The scenery in the west is wonderful, New York and Washington DC are very dynamic and people are generally friendly. BUT things turned very nasty after 9/11. The bogus war in Iraq and the 20 year stay in Afghanistan changed everything. The MAGA crowd of haters, gun crazies, religious fanatics and the politicians who cater to them have made the country intolerable. Any advantages America may have are vastly outweighted by the negatives that are part of everyday life. Every school child has regular shooter on the loose drills routinely. Gun-toting losers may feel a thrill from carrying a gun but I don't like the sight of them.\n\nAmericans are like frogs in a sauce pan of water that is being brought to a boil. They just do not realize how bad the US has become.........

Look, y’all are acting like animals. Our country here is already Phucked up, along with our politicians, out gov has\nto go. Cant even take care of our own bull, and to think to take care of y’all.? In the end, nobody is going to matter but the rich, scandalous,shady sons of. !;!474!!.

It's just a matter of time before wherever you live there will be a school shooting as well. Things will not get better in the u.s.a. as your politicians are next to useless. They are not for the people of the country. Too many bought and paid for politicians.

You may have Disney Land (and World) but I live in the original Disney Land which is Huron County, Ontario, Canada as Walt and Roy's dad and grandfather were originally from Bluevale, now Morris-Turnberry Township here in Huron County. Elias Disney went to school in Goderich, my home town (which is now the building housing the Huron County Museum) and Walt Disney confirms this in an interview on CBC Television and so does the Disney Family Museum in California and our Huron County Museum. 24 years ago this summer (July 30, 2023 being the date of this comment) Disney's parade made its way through our town's streets, I was 14 then. The Disney family even has some connected history with our salt mine, the largest operating salt mine on the planet with hoist shafts as deep as the CN tower is tall (roughly 553 m or half a kilometre or less than 1/3 of a Mile) and also had a sawmill, probably close to my first home as a kid outside of Holmesville, Ontario, but I digress.\n\nAs I have stated, I'm Canadian and while I admire some things about your country, I wouldn't live there due to the lack of regulations on firearms (I don't mind people owning guns but they should be qualified and certified with a licence of owning, storing and using them and prohibitions on assault rifles and even semi-automatic weapons) and the lack of universal healthcare. Canada could be doing better as we have those in government trying to privatize our system further and breaking the laws doing it but the Feds aren't really doing anything either. At least we do have healthcare but there are still private systems in place, particularly for optical, dental, pharma and other systems. I also don't care for the American's lack of serious training for police, private prisons and the fact that slavery is alive and well there as well as your politicians' and citizens' insistence on keeping and maintaining capital punishment.

We need to also hold every politician who went along with Trudeau’s stupid policies that only serve to damage Canada. ????. Liberal and NDP politicians allowed this Make them accountable ?

I would like to apologize on behalf of america. our bureaucrats and politicians have broken the entire country. more government is not the answer people.

I have mixed feelings about this video. This video does a good job outlining the immigration process but it does not highlight any of the negative consequences of immigration that Canada is experiencing. One of the main reasons why cost of living is so high in Toronto and Vancouver is precisely because we have so many immigrants coming in without enough housing supply. This is by design because politicians and the upper class have a vested interest in keeping real estate prices high because so much of their net worth is tied up in the housing market.\n\nAnother negative is that employers hire immigrants working low skilled jobs and pay them less than Canadians because the immigrants are willing to be taken advantage of since they're just happy to have a job in Canada which pays better than their country. \n\nAnother myth that gets repeated is that Canadian takes immigrants out of compassion and unfortunately a lot of Canadians believe this. It was never about compassion, it's about bringing more people to 1) pay taxes to support our social welfare as Canadian birth rates decline and boomers retire, 2) keep housing costs high and 3) pay immigrants lower wages for the same work because immigrants are fine being exploited since they have a job in a first world country.\n\nAnother problem is the cultural shift. In the most immigrant-dense regions you'll find that many immigrants themselves surprisingly don't want more immigrants coming to Canada because they see these negative consequences. The people who are most pro-immigration have no problem cramming 8+ people in a basement and exploiting their labour because they make enough money to live in communities that immigrants can't afford, and so they don't have to deal with the cultural shift that's taking place. This is NOT the fault of immigrants, but rather the politicians who put economic growth over quality of life. Over HALF the people in the GTA weren't born in Canada, so they didn't go through our school system and have no connection to our culture. Canada is unfortunately going to become very racist over the next 10-20 years as Canadians start feeling like outsiders in their own country. It's somehow considered racists to criticize the effect of multiculturalism on social unity, yet the cultures we accept in Canada only became distinct cultures because of monoculturalism.
