It is the responsibility of every Canadian to improve Canada, whether newcomer or forever Canadian. Get involved! See how Iranian women are sacrificing just now to bring very important change to their nation!

It is important to know the history before commenting anything else\n\nHistory:\nIn 1699, Guru Gobind Singh commanded all Khalsa sikhs to wear five Ks at all times: Kirpan (a small curved sword of any size, shape or metal), Kesh (uncut long hair), Kangha (small comb), Kara (a metal bracelet), and Kachera (a white undergarment).\n\nThe five articles of faith collectively project the Khalsa devotee’s commitment to the Sikh way of life.\n\nAny slight against any of the five articles is considered offensive in Sikhism as these are not considered as mere objects but part of a Sikh’s religious identity.\n\n\n\nSikhs who are amartaari or baptised Sikhs only wear it and it is used only for others safety and cannot be misused for anything else...\n\nIt is allowed in countries like UK, new zealand and Canada.\n\nIt is not his mistake because that policeman didn't know about Sikhism....

Great job Fifth Estate.... ?? I look forward to all your investigations. Thank you for covering Important issues like this

International students pay 3x not 5x. This is an important story but get your facts right.

Incisive research which has very aptly highlighted the dark side of the capitalist market. The humans are just one form of product and mere numbers. Deeply appreciate the effort in bringing out such an important and critical subject to public. Great work.

Bhai aap ke sath thoda baat karni hain...bahat important baat...mereko thoda infomation cahiye.. Apke saath kaise baat kare bhai...please notice my comment ??

Ranking provinces is a waist of time. It's the cities that are more important and what's nearby. Theres only a handful of cities I'd personally live in. Victoria area, Okanagan area, Kingston area, Barrie/Wasaga/Midland/Collingwood areas, Sault Ste Marie area, or Halifax, The others are either too rainy, too cold, too boring, to big, too far away from other cities or too French.

What are you complaining about? The Sikh expected that person to understand the cultural importance of Kirpan? It's not Punjab or India..

That 911 call from the campus if probably a fellow indian who knows the importance of the Kirpan..

I can understand the world is not understanding Sikh perspective till date, but all those so called Hindu(they do know the importance of kirpan for a Sikh)but still finds a way to criticise Sikhs, even though their ancestors and themself are alive today because of Sikhs and the sacrifices made my Sikh gurus. Unthankful people of india(hindus) not all thought.

Look I get it you know like it’s a spiritual thing and it’s important to him but it’s still a knife and it’s in a college like I’m sorry bro but you’re in the wrong here

I think it’s also important for them to say they don’t consider moving back or moving back in the near future if they want to naturalize as Canadians. Just in case one coconut head decides to take their words and see them as people that don’t want to be in Canada long term and frustrate their naturalization process

Glad he was arrested., if you knife is so important go back where you came from., im indian too I know about this religious but this is not your country even if you born here you need obey the law., who know your mental status and possessing a knife which might hurt or kill somebody, or who knows somebody snatches from you and attacks someone., you are not kid to carry religious toys..,

When in Rome, Do as the Romans Do' refers to the importance of adapting yourself to the customs of the people who are in a certain place or situation and behave like they do.\n\nThis was copied from Google, just one suggestion for fellow Indians Respect other countries rules and regulations too.\nHe could have skipped college for few days or should had taken permission before.

Religion isn't more important than people's lives. There's no use of a KNIFE in a COLLEGE CAMPUS.

The story of the Russian guy going back to Russia to avoid taxes didn't age well. I remember watching this video in 2021 and thinking that the higher taxes are worth it because you are essentially buying safety. It doesn't matter if the income tax of your home country is lower if the local currency keeps devaluating, if you can't buy what you want because importing is hard and expensive or if your country is simple just not a safe place to live. Now with the war and the sanctions, your Russian friend must be having a really hard time; borders closed, the ruble is nearly worthless and he's probably trying to flee the country to avoid being drafted, leaving any real estate behind.

To all the people sayimg that university is not a ppace to carry knives , should learn about sikhism and sikh faith. This kind if arogance shows how much educated you people are and how much respect you in your hearts towards other religions or cultures! Firstly, Learn one thing that american law allows sikhs(baptised sikhs only) to wear kirpan everywhere, evem the Uk and canada have the same laws for sikhs! These things arr considered very important in sikhism , the weapons are the reason for the existence of sikhs in present times! Our religion tella us to respect weapons like food and tells us to possess the most advance weapons, not for any kind of criminal activity but for self defence, good deeds and the race of existence! And Dont forget the 2nd amendment! At last i want to ask that why all hindus are against the sikh? Are'nt hindus living in the same country as sikhs? Should'nt they be aware of sikh faith and traditions? Hindus in thia comment section are a disapointment! What can we expect from others if our own people are acting like brainwashed sophisticated freaks!

so in US they will not going to protest..but if it happens in INDIA they will surely...i don't know why people become so tolerant in US. And kirpan is a weapon for self defence not any religious importance as such...and if it has importance then it's better to carry one made from plastic so that other people don't scare of it.

The problem is that often times due to religious practices, a lot of people from minority communities are targeted and have to undergo a lot of scruitiny. Sikhs are amongst the most kind and generous people in the world, apart from being brave, sure this world makes a joke out of them but it is important for people to understand that our religion is important to us, we do follow the rules and regulations laid down by the country but others too have to respect who we are and where we come from, it might seem odd to carry around a kirpan but then again that is no reason to violate someone like this, or their religion's sancitity.

i need to know about this issue for leaving why you exepected to sharing this message for leaving canada or you are there without leaving anywhere my dear there is no every arround in the world the life without challenges everywhere there is changellenges so actually the important issue you must share with us is how to fight this life challenges in canada that all.

A website listing statistical comparisons of all country's characteristics for immigrants may help. This may help immigrants to choose wisely and avoid Canada and go someplace they would prefer. A time plan showing how much resources are needed to go any where in the world they want, should be included. This would help immigrants before anyone leaves the original country. It is important to know if and where they can recreate an environment like they left behind, in a new country.

Honest review. I lived in ontario, better say Toronto. Car insurance, rent, work life balance. The good thing is the vibe and some basic things you don't fight alot to attain, the place is vividly. Their economic policies suppress growth people struggle to beyong and you must be equipped with many relevant skills apart from degree. What gives you money in Canada is your own business, risk jobs, most importantly your money source is coming from somewhere and you just invest there in houses, etc. \nThe country is nice and alot of events in the summer, but when the winter comes is really tough and you feel limited if you don't drive, if don't know places to socialise. The minimum wage is very low until this day. In reality everyone has an individual journey, and every experience may be completely different dispite any barriers they may achieve and make their dream come true, but still it will be a very small number.

I am 5th gen Canadian and I agree with you gals. But the one thing I absolutely dislike about this country is the systemic political correctness , it is costing us our rights and more importantly our common sense. Keep telling the truth. Thanks Ladies .

The taxes are high not just for infrastructure which is important but for our welfare to help the poor and support our schools and for good pensions for the elderly. I hope my country is a place where we can all help each other. Not a place where people come to try to get rich

No one below mentions living under a tyrannical leader though. That would be an important factor too

Food is expensive because of the weather: they have have to import most of their foods stuffs.\nTaxes is high in Europe but most people do not mind and just like my self. You never know what can happen to you and at that particular time you might not have no money. But at the time of sickness, if you have to pay healthcare costs will drain your bank accounts. You never know when illness will arrive. Have you seen how much it costs to have a baby in the US?\n???????

Whils't leaving in Canada try strongly not to leave like the Canadians do , otherwise you will spend all you earn over there. Frankly speaking learn something important Whils't schooling or working then later on bring it ideas reason back to your country ? it's might help in future ?

Very important information\nBut I want to ask one thing\nAgar kissi bhi student ka koi relative na ho Canada m toh flight k land hone k bad rhne k liy house ya appartment kaise book kare\nIndia se hi book ho jayega kya \nPlz tell me bhai

Well said, both US and Canada are all the same thing, it’s a circle. Start again and go back to school when you relocated to diasporas my dear. Not much difference until you get to a higher level like management in your career then a little change can occur.. Please keep enlighten our people at home so they will know the importance of building our home and prevent traveling abroad except going to school and return back home to use that knowledge learn to building their home country… There’s no place like home, we’re blessed in Africa but lack the knowledge of knowing what we have or to develop that country for generations to come….

I have some very important questions for you NAIJA MUMUS AND ASHAWOS ON HERE: ????\nIf omonaija is so great that you folks are so proud of then why do you people feel the need to constantly flock and flee to everyone else's country all over this planet only to totally disrespect the citizens and try to dominate their country and moreover WHY do you people always feel the need to push and shove your cultures, lingos, swags, food, clothing and every damn thing else that's pertaining to your country down people's throats and force people to accept that bs just to try to impress them with your NAIJA ??️ COUNTRY??? ?????

I'm Canadian born and raised. I left Canada when I was 28 and found a better life in a developing country. Canadians think their country is wonderful because few know anything better. As you expressed, there is more to life then working to pay taxes. Quality of life is more important.

Canada's Cost of living is Joke compares to here in Sri lanka an Average Srilankan Salary is 200$ per month but 1 liter petrol cost more than 1$ imagine how hard it is live here in Sri lanka not only that we import 90% things foreign Countries so Food,Electronics, etc are unimaginably Expensive for example our Government is adding 300% Tax for Vehicles .even though I'm earning 6000$ per month its still not enough for my needs I have to pay like 60000$ to get Canadian Visa But I don't wanna disrespected by some Racist scumbags I'll do anything against people who disrespected me untill they say sorry to me because to me Respect is Everything in My country we Respect Every one we still have Scumbag Human being they are like less than 1% . your Information is very useful for me I'll never come to Canada I was ready to get the Canadian Visa thank you for saving me

Good content. But pls your friend should cover her bust properly. It's important to respect your viewers as diverse in moral perspective.

My friend called me yesterday. He said there is something important I want to ask you, but I can't talk over the phone. Let's meet at a coffee shop. I said ok, then we met and he told me he had just met a guy who runs an English school. He asked him for 1200 CAD for the complete package, which includes English level 4 and the Canadian citizenship test. Note (my friends don't speak English), so my friend accepted and left a deposit and was told he has to attend an English school for only 15 days and he will receive a level 4 English efficiency. THAT'S UNFAIR. I HAVE SPENT HOURS LEARNING ENGLISH AND STUDYING FOR THE TEST!!!!! Anyone has an idea how to stop these people??????? Who should I contact???? I live in Ottawa.

I can imagine that what you are describing will be the case with my wife. But is Nigerian men are here so you don’t have to be spending your money. To be honest, I would prefer my wife not to work, however when I left my job to start a charity - her work became important to support other things so that I could focus on mortgage etc. \nBut now that the difficult times are over in Jesus name. I would say for us Nigerian men, we like to spoil our wives. My wife just doesn’t like expensive stuff. \nI don’t like expensive things because I’m very conservative but I love spending on her. The Gucci bag thing that I bought for her, I found it under the bed when cleaning. ????‍♂️??‍♂️\n\nI think a loving relationship will take care of most of the issues you are describing ie 2 incomes are better than one. ???‍♂️

I love cold weather myself. Work outside in construction. Father's side is French Canadian from Quebec. I'd move back to Canada if it weren't for the insane taxes and becoming more communist thanks to Trudick. But hockey ? ? culture for me, growing up, and even now, is more important than religion. Same with winter sports, adventure and the outdoors. Canada...love the land, sports, climate...but it's the government there that makes it miserable now.

Welcome to Canada first if all. Why do people choose to leave their own homeland, then complain once they move to their chosen location? Canada has wonderful opportunities for anyone coming here, but if you think it’s a bed of roses, your dead wrong. Do your homework , research, decide what’s best for you. Live here for a few years , decide then. If it’s got you, move on, move out, your choice. But like any country there are good as well as bad. You can live a good life in Canada. So sorry we have cold winters that make us have the need to import many items and drive up the need to live here. So sorry you came and don’t enjoy the lifestyle here. Good luck moving to you next country of choice. Because many people don’t have a choice. Zoom zoom bye ✌️

What people fail to understand is that the grass is always greener on the other side...until you get there and realise that its just different shades of green. There are so many benefits to living in Africa. And there are benefits to living in western countries too. If you like jobbing (being an employee), saving for retirement and having a stable government to protect your investment or give you welfare benefits and having free healthcare and generally living a risk-free life, then abroad is for you. There are downsides though - while you have good roads and healthcare, you can hardly save, your mental health is on the line, you probably will have no social life, the genetically modified food, polluted air, chemicalized everything will cut your life span down. You can be an enterpreneur but the taxes alone, the regulation, etc can discourage you. \n\nIn Africa, there are security concerns but the same security concerns exist in all countries, only they differ in their nature. In Africa, I can grow my food, I can build my house according to my budget (no mortgage), I can start a business any day, i can feed on little money ( you can find markets that sell cheap food produce). And most importantly for me, the health factor - organic food, family and friends to help with your mental health and laugh and cry with you as the occasion demands. \n\nAnd now the icing on the cake - you can make the same dollar you make abroad from your country! So many online platforms to be a freelancer, to work for companies and individuals abroad. So you are making the same money and not drowning in taxes, in high rents, insurance fees and you can afford top-notch healthcare, even better than what you can get abroad. \n So it's up to you. Stop believing that abroad is better. it's not actually. I swore I wouldn't raise a child in London because of the high rate of knife crimes on the streets and the government' s lax attitude towards it because such crimes involve black kids. I never felt such fear in Africa. To each his own. My African shade of green works well for me. Abeg

Tax shelters are not a good thing… Why do you think so many Americans feel angry at the inequality? Why its bridges are crumbling, yet companies like Apple have more cash on hand than almost all countries? Angry white people shooting brown newcomers is a real problem. Balance and social stability is an important effect of those higher taxes.

Sorry gulnaz but it's important jab aap log wahan k nationality letey hay tu 1 undertaking sign krte hay ya oath letey hay k may es country ka wafadar rahonga or or be bht bathen os may hotey tu es barey may tm kya kihte ho ...?

Many of the same reasons would also apply to the US. I think getting your citizenship/passport is important so you have the option to return if you decide to leave. I lived in Canada but currently reside in Florida. I don't miss the long winters but I like the summers there. I think the crime rate and health care costs are a big plus in Canada. We have Miami beach but frequent shootings there have kept me away. So it boils down to an individuals choice.??

The first point is horrible. Complain about high taxes is one thing. But to complain that the money is being but into INFRASTRUCTURE?! That is by far the most important thing for a nation to invest it. and no it doesnt just benefit others, it benefits you. It seems like people forget the purpose of a nation state and that its not to serve specific individuals, but the entire collective.

I am sweden national, living here for 16 years, my wife is from EU and converted in to islam, we have a kis as well ( Alhamdu Lillah) I have other two brothers in Swedan as well with family, we are having stable business here from 2010, Import car multimedia stereo from china and selling in Scandinavia, i wish to move to USA for starting same business there, if you have knowledge or information about business settlement, we will appreciate your information, JazakALLAH Khaer,

You have made a very important and informative video. Are you also thinking to leave Canada as you advised the others....

Immigrating to Canada to seek greener pasture is abracadabra. The fact is when you made an important decision that fails, you escalate your commitment to that decision. That’s why many can’t go back home, while others seek migration elsewhere. By and large, Canada is a lovely country where you don’t have people killing each other by the minutes. Like you said, it’s a tradeoff and it’s either you go to the US where you are 10 times likely to become homicide victim, but have much better occupational mobility and opportunities or you choose Canada where there’s peace and tranquillity, but low occupational mobility and limited opportunities.

This is an important video to watch, especially if you’ve seen our previous video on Canada ?? https://youtu.be/TbmOdCEg7fE\n??

i remember first seeing Igor making his earliest videos, always so enthrusiastic and optimistic. I think that is one of the most important characteristic to be a successful entreprenor. now in this video he is also encouraging people to start their own business. thumbs up!

That’s why you need to start sending back Muslims more importantly kick out the islam out of the Europe.
