Fearing for the safety of your children at school should be a big thing Tyler. How is it that it isn't???\nMy mom was a snowbird to Florida for 35 years. Loved it, still misses her life there. But gave it up. The health insurance was getting to be too much. The open carry guns scared her. She volunteered at schools (retired primary school teacher). State of Florida public schools appalled her.

actors and musicians have classically been the reasons so many canadians would move to the states. lot of the less... nice... doctors would move to the states to victimise the statians, they made a LOT of money by moving. as to your suggestion that children in the states aren't being shot daily in the states... time to check out a list of shootings, it's pretty close. looking at the wikipedia list for this year, i find there's a place called mifflin.

No, never. I would NEVER move to the USA. The only kind of weapon a citizen should be able to buy are hunting rifles and hand guns. Both of wich you need special licenses to obtain and can take up to 2 months to get. When guns are the most common way children die, how can you kid yourself it's not a problem. Especially when no other first world country has this problem.

A child brought up in violence cannot know that there is another way of living in a family. So you can't know why this refusal from the Canadians until you have experienced it. Your comment about living in a small community makes you feel safe and family friendly. We (Canadian) seem weird, since we do not support the slightest killing of children in any school in the country. This thought that it is not with us, until... I find it sad because it will only deploy this aggressiveness if it is not stopped and I do not see your policy being concerned about it, rather the opposite

Tyler? I suggest google’n “ school shootings, small town America”…. article after article, when you do, says why most mass school shootings tend to happen in small towns….where nobody expects that they would have happened & how all the residents in those towns are always surprised that they happened in their town. \nI say this as somebody who once loved the idea of moving to the USA. \nMy mom was a single parent and as a result I spent a ton of time as a very young kid in the late 80s throughout the mid 90s in a small town in Oregon on my aunt and uncles dairy farm with my cousins and I absolutely loved it. Truthfully, I still love small-town America and I love the vast majority of the people I have met from small-town America. There is the friendliness and community that I find very similar to prairie farming towns in Canada. \n And as a kid, I loved the focus on high school sports in the small USA town I spent time in and how it brought the community together. It was very exciting to go to my cousins football games—stuff like that was super fun as a kid.\nAs an adult, with 2 young kids of my own now? \nYes, I would be terrified to send my children to any school in the United States, especially knowing that the vast majority of my school shootings do happen in small towns, which is a type of place in the states I would personally like to go to, if I did move. \n\nAdditionally, I will be completely bankrupt at this point given my own health issues as well as my two kids health issues and I’m just in my late 30s. \nAnd I’m not talking to super crazy health issues, but health issues nonetheless. I have asthma that has gone through patches where I’ve had to be hospitalized & I was diagnosed with stage 3 malignant melanoma when I was in my late 20s and pregnant with my 2nd. My first child was born with a congenital heart disorder that was missed through the pregnancy and until she was two, and that involved many many trips to the hospital & various specialists until they figured out what was going on (one of the symptoms was her randomly stopping breathing and going blue, which was terrifying, and could’ve been for many different reasons & it took many specialists & many hospital visits to figure it all out)\nMy son was born with a multiple protein intolerance and later received an autism diagnosis. There a decent number of hospital visits and specialists for his first couple of years of life too. \n\n I have no idea if I was in the United States how I would’ve paid for any of our health issues (let alone all three of ours) for that 5 or 6 year period where we all needed various types of regular-ish medical care. \n(because we got good medical care, thankfully, none of us have really had to see doctors any more than the average person in the last few years?)\n\nMy kids are now in elementary school, and, as a Canadian, the issue of school shootings happening anywhere….., including in small towns that seem perfectly safe……as well as the cost of healthcare for stuff that is covered by our taxes here in Canada….. are the two biggest reasons that I will think fondly of my time in small-town America, but would never consider moving there

Uh…and just FYI Tyler….In the United States… “Every year, 19,000 children and teens are shot and killed or wounded and approximately 3 million are exposed to gun violence” …not just 1 or 2 children a year

The millions of dollars that are spent to protect children in schools is insane it is an industry that shouldn't exist and with all the stuff happening in Florida Disney will probably not exist there much longer people and businesses are leaving in droves

I don't live in the US, but if you read parenting subreddits you will read a lot of threads about US parents who worry about their children's safety at school.

Oh Tyler. I've been watching your content for months now, and I do wish you would read and interact with your commenters because you would learn so much. I'll just comment on one fact. As a young, white, childless male, I doubt you would be affected by most of the reasons people who visit and know the US here in Canada would think of. Most of my friends are in the US and I livestream with them 5 nights a week, and every time a ma ss shooting is reported, we hear about it and suffer along with you too. \n\nFACT: The number ONE cause of death for children and teens in the US is Firearm related, so gun deaths. Yes it's true, and there isn't a single friend of mine who isn't scared to express an opinion, or send their kids and grandkids to school or Uni. wherever they live in the US. Statistically speaking, almost every citizen in the US is going to know someone who is un-alived by gun violence. We have strict gun laws here, and I wouldn't trade that for anything.

Seriously we have a hard time understanding the American view point when it comes to guns. No offence but with the number of school shootings per year in the US and the deep seeded need to be able to own a gun , it appears that your country values gun ownership over child safety . Which is just mind blowing. Don’t get me wrong we have school shooting too, And other types of violence in schools, nowhere near what is happening south of our border . But , from our perspective the numbers speak for themselves. Just look how many have happened so far in 2023. ✌️? * just Google “ School shootings 2023 by country” . We worry for your children every day.

51 School shootings with injuries or deaths \n \n140 People killed or injured in a school shooting \n \n40 People killed \n \n32 Students or other children killed \n \n8 School employees or other adults killed \n \n100

Of course you do not have a discussion about children getting slaughtered in schools. Sadly you have all become Numb to it, and seems to sadly accepted it is part of your daily lives. How that happened is pathetic to us. Australia had one school shooting decades ago now, and in less then 2 weeks all assault rifles, etc were outlawed. Now that is leadership, which the average American now knows they never deserve.

Children ARE being shot on a daily basis all over the United States! You guys have multiple mass shootings every single day. There's so many of them that you don't even hear about most of them on the news because they aren't worth mentioning.

Indians should teach their children especially their daughters, how to behave in public by not to put their legs on the front seat of their co-passengers.

Living in small towns and you find the communities great and welcoming. Welcome to being a caucasian male in the US. lol That example doesn't mean much.\nEdit: If you think you may be desensitized to children being gunned down in schools, that should ring massive alarm bells that something is wrong in the country.

pls put families together when there are seats available especially young children. seems like the enraged man is saying something about his daughter? seems like the passenger on the left side has insulted his child, or maybe worse.

Very true. I go to America and Canada to meet my children. For older people day start with cleaning utensils, cooking food, washing and cleaning home. And no social life for older people. Very costly everything. No friends,very lonely life. Children have their careers, life so they r helpless. My son in America provides us with all luxuries but very boring after some time. Love my life in my home, my country. I have my social life and love it.

Parents leave Canada to get away from their silly childish ignorant bigoted children.

Excellent interview. Honest from both ladies, especially the lady in saree has put forward all points which are true.. And looks beautiful. In fact its a viscous circle honestly its better the Indian youth stays away from foreign settlement. Towards the end its suffering for parents and children and life long guilt.

It's like children fighting in back of car and mom tells dad leave stering wheel and shout at kids. ??????

Now we are staying in London for last 5months at our Daughter's home as she had expecting to deliver in March 2023. Here Government work to make life of the citizens easy and in India Government work to make the life of citizens miserable. Here road, transport, cleaning is managed properly, but in India total mismagement. We have everything in India. Good climate, good food, mountains, rivers, sea, Ice, but due to polytitics and corruption we have made India to live unbearable and our new generation doesn't find future and leaving India for best future for themselves and their children, but that don't understand that though they get British citizenship they are not British they are outsiders. You wanted freedom from British so you fought for freedom and now when you got your freedom you are leaving India and want to settle in their Country and want British Citizenship.

Askm \nI am a Human Resource Professional, my Master’s Degree is from Australia and have 9 year industry experience. I have obtained the visit Visa and will be coming alone to Canada in couple of months. Need clarity on few issues. \nI will be bringing expenses money for 6 months, more funds will be arranged if required. My target provinces are Saskatchewan, Manitoba and New Brunswick. I am confident that I will secure a LMIA approved job in HR and hence a legit Work permit. \nCan the work permit holder invite his spouse and children ? \nDoes the whole family have free education and health care? \nBut one must have alternate solution. If I don’t get a job in my occupation, I will be forced to work as a farmer or a laborer or any other low skilled occupation and get a work permit for that job. My technical question is once I have worked as a farmer/laborer for a year, I will have to apply for the PR under PNP. Will my 1 year work experience as a farmer/laborer have a negative impact, since my qualification is in business Management (HR) ?

It’s sad we are a country full of immigrants that have been coming to America for years for the opportunity to live the American dream. Now we close our boarders and turn families away children moms dads brothers sisters this isn’t right. We should help them and we should work on ourselves!!!!

When parents stay with thier children they make thier childrens life comfortable. But looking at thier age their life becomes miserable... They have to take care both children, grandchildren and house work,cleaning all in one. Back in India they have iether nanny or cook or o.

As far as I’m aware Venezuela can be really dangerous to live in. I might do the same thing if I was born there especially as a woman or someone with children. But even men want to live. Easy to say that you should band together to overtake corruption but harder to do it when your life is directly on the line. I wouldn’t want to lose a father grandfather brother or son even for the sake of my country. This is coming from a Texan. I’ve had illegals do my lawn care and construction. Many are just trying to make a living. They sit outside all day long in the summers by my local post office waiting for people to come by and ask them to work. Cheap prices, too.

Protect our children

Jesus it’s just like “children of men”!!!

How can a woman get a job to change visitor visa to work permit, already 2 children are in ontario canada schooling, one is even a minor 17 years, please enlightening me

Such Indian students often always make it big & successful in real life...as they are lazy and jugaadu. Such people's Biographies need to be included as a part of the Syllabus for Indian students. Because it's Practical & Really works...rather than taking student life seriously. Indian parents even today are too serious about Formal Education. They should know more about such Successful Indian Stalwarts and put them up as Role Models for their Indian children(in India as well as abroad). No sarcasm intended.❤???

Children don't want to return because their life is easier due to work life balance. But parents don't want to stay there because they they have to work like maids and servants and their life is difficult over there.

The children look after the parents very well.But still they miss India.This is natural.

Boss try to write a book on some of these stuffs cos some of us would want to keep your stuffs and tell our grand children and great grand children.. Suggestion please...

You are watching the fall of America. There must be a civil war so that we we can separate from Bidens America and defend our section of America by ANY means neccessary for the good and future of our children. If not America as you know it is through.

One of the best podcast......children should see this before calling parents. Eye opening

Some tear gas, a few caddle prods. If people want to act like animals I think we should be obliged to reply in kind. However, there are children in the crowd...

Thanks for this broadcast\nU must upload new motivational programs so that each parents thought positive chage because all our children in canada enjojoying in canada this feeling came in mind to every parents \nThe feeling to not adjust is due to anixety thought \nPlease clarify in next vedio\nAll the best?to all

I sincerely sympathize with these ppl but we are already over crowded and suffering ourselves..please in the name of Jesus I pray to God he will fix y'all problem in y'all country..I'm not understanding the real reason and need to come illegally..but whatever it is Lord please help your children from whatever evil they dealing with in Jesus name..Amen ?

Canada is for those who come here when young and grow old here.\n\nI am one of those.\n\nWhen I first came here I didn’t like it but as time passed I started admiring all that was different and better from India.\n\nParticularly now, living here and watching, from afar, what is happening in India, I am grateful I am here.\n\nHow do ordinary folks in India handle the every day hassle of traffic, public transit, cost of living, water shortages, cuts in electricity supply, racial inequalities etc. etc.\n\nThe major problem of parents coming over here is that they are dependent on their children for everything (if you are living in the suburbs particularly) be it companionship, transportation, finances (with the exchange rate for Indian rupees, you will start feeling the pinch of it soon) etc.\n\nIf you are here for a short period, bond with your kids, grand-kids, make the most of it and head back home, is my humble advice to parents visiting.

I guess age matters... If you move to a country so vastly different to yours at 60+ it will definitely be a struggle. Transport, high currency conversion and lack of social life are the main challenges.\nBut i guess the biggest plus is the close proximity to children. So you have to prioritize.

These poor children

Poor children. That's horrible

I agree with each and everything that both the ladies have said. I am 52 and have spent beautiful 25 yrs in Qatar. Since my children wanted to settle in USA I am in US now. However I have a question for Smita ji since both her children are in Canada now who will take care of her and her husband once they are too old to travel. Also after 15 years the children will be busy with higher education of grandchildren. The friends and maids that are a source of happiness in good health won't be of use because they will also be old and suffering.

Bidens America.\nKeeps the stock of children replenished ?

They should not convert in Canadian dollar. Because you r children are earning there in Dollars

A nice Podcast indeed . Though Manpreet's mother's views/comments look genuine and more realistic but the views and comments expressed by the other lady Ms Smita, to me, seem to be more deekhava for public image targeted to her circle of people as if belonging to an elite class. I also belong to the same age group from Delhi and twice visited my two married children in Toronto. I relate ourselves more to Manpreet's mom than to the other lady. Anyway good beginning by you

Parents become Cooks , nannies , maids in Canada to their children.\nHealthcare - 9 hours wait for a bandage on ligament tear !

Every thing said is true Parents come only for the love for their children otherwise India is best bestest ...❤

Views expressed by Manpreet,s mother is similar to the views of most parents who go abroad to their children even for a short time. We then value the warmth and social contacts we cherish in India, the independence we get doing our work without being dependent on the children to take us, Even the lady guest expressed many views that are so correct. We need just a handful of clothes as always we are covered in warm clothes.

This is frightening. I hope everyone is safe. I hope things get better for these people and their children.

As a fellow Canadian I confirm what this guy say is absolutely true. U can easily get jobs in US that r 2-4X the salary of identical jobs in Canada… Not to say the Cost of Living in US is at minimum 25-50% cheaper than Canada. The only people who fits well in Canada r the poor, old and children
