Born and raised Canadian here and yes I can confirm for at least myself that I want to leave Canada because it just seems to keep getting worse and harder to live here these days when compared to earlier decades.

Trudeau says he is working hard for Canadians every day. The evidence disagrees:\n- carbon taxes hit every item purchased or service required to live; housing, food, fuel etc. etc. Do you really believe 8 out of 10 Canadian families get more back than they pay in?\n- Trudeau promises to make housing cheaper but fails to recognize that the Immigration Invasion is a contributing factor\n- Trudeau says the gov't will borrow so Canadians don't have to. Evidence shows that consumer debt levels are the highest in the G7. His reckless borrowing has doubled federal debt and created a 40 yr. high in inflation. Mass immigration causes taxes to rise, gov't services to decline. Inflation, rents, and mtge costs rise. Is PM lying?\n- An immigration invasion pushes wage levels down and inflation up. Why won't PM talk about this\n- one in 4 Canadians has to go to food banks at least once a month. Meanwhile Ukraine gets $9 billion in Canadian aid for yachts while Canadians suffer. How is this helping Canadians. \nIf you believe Trudeau's rhetoric then if you are better off now than 8 yrs ago. Ask the truckers if you are more free. Wake up folks.

That is a obvious thing that if you are doing good in your home country then why would you leave it? Why for your children? If you can do good then why cannot your children do good as well. There is something wrong in your home country that is why you fear that your children won't be able to do good their. People now days think after moving to a new country they should be able to live the same way and work at same position within 2-5 years on what position they were working in their home country. Which was never the case before. People who came in 70s,80s,90s it took them close to a decade and for many even more to reach some form of stability and it is the same now. You are starting from scratch when you move to a new place. \nComing here, making a life here, still living here and praising your life back home is not the solution. The solution is if you do not like it here you are have your home country to always go to. Simple.

I wonder if the reason so many in so many places believe that medical care is a problem is actually a matter of expectations. I know that in the 90s, my little town in Kansas had as many imaging machines as the entire country of Canada, but Canadians were certain they had superior medical care, as did the English. Expectations.\nEven then, if something was so bad that only a silver bullet treatment would possibly help, they still send patients to the USA because they are not equipped to help. Quiet management.\nBut basic medical, especially if you don't have much money, was traditionally better in England. I don't think Canadians had choices, but the functional reality was similarly better than in the States. Expectations.\nFor some time, Americans have had a sense that miracles are practical things that happen all the time, just pull out all the stops to keep grandma in agony another week. This has been reinforced by the civil courts. It is dangerous to be a doctor who does not recommend EVERYTHING be done to prolong life, even miserable life. Insane expectations that waste a lot of money. \nBut basic medical? Just shut up and go to work. Expectations.\nA century ago, there were no significant differences in expectations amongst developed countries because the expectations, based on the technologies of the day, were the same. Plus, there was only so much that could be done, so the total costs of everything were predictable and could be paid for publicly or privately less angst or disappointment. Expectations.\nWhen the technologies change like they have been in medicine in this century, it's good guess that so do expectations. It's also a good bet that there is a mismatch between expectations and available resources. Broken system.

Canada has been turned into a woke hellhole now. The price of living is insane I dont understand how anyone can afford to live after paying the crazy rents and expensive food and bills. The communist gov is out of control as well. I can not wait to retire and got out of this place. Voters are braindead is all I can come up with... I just dont get it. The biggest lie canadians eat up is that they live in a free country... they have no clue just how controlled they are. Also, I have lost so many friends because of their willingness to fall for the brainwashing. I was attacked a number of times by work friends and friends outside of work because I refused to sit their and keep my mouth shut as they all partook in the relentless bashing of conservatives and white people in general. Im actually openly gay and let me tell you.. gay people are some of the most gullible little minions the left has. The fact that I was not braindead leftist and gay made me even more of a target and it still happens to this day. Im retiring in 4 years and moving to Dallas where I have a brother. He LOVEs it there and says its the least woke place he has ever been in the US so wish me luck

No. Saudi does not want them - even for 1 day in their country. Whole Arab world is ditching the Palestinians. It is glaringly clear

This is a logical result of the fact that for the past 30 years Kanada keeps electing globalists, sociopaths and freedom haters at every level of their government. What did you thing was going to happen? But forget about the economy, these days they are legislating how people should address each other, and even attempting to legislate how people should THINK(!!!). It is insane. \n\nFirst time I visited Canada back in 1995. I loved it. I even considered moving there as I had a girlfriend material in Montreal... Then gradually, after each subsequent visit, of which there were at least 20, my opinion of this country went down and down, until I even crossed it from my list of countries where I would like to spend ANY amount of time, even as little as an airport layover. My last time in kanada was back in 2013. That was when I swore never to set my foot in that lib-swamp ever again.\n\nBurn in your own liberal Hell! I won't miss it...

Brother you just stay in India. Planes are going every day to India.

I have notice a huge shift in the International relations. The developing countries have appointed a lot more sharp and competent representatives. Meanwhile, every Western representative comes across very childish and arrogant. The gradual change is day and night

It boils down to the Liberal Party, which has been in power since 2015, e.g.:\n- high immigration targets and housing/jobs/healthcare/etc can't keep up.\n- decriminalization/destigmatization of drugs (especially in Vancouver)\n- political correctness, censorship, gender ideology, health mandates, soft on some crimes but harsh on thought crimes, etc.\n\nAs for other things like weather and challenges in finding a job, these were always the case but Canada really started to go down when Trudeau became PM.\n\nI migrated with my family as a teen. Parents (engineer and nurse) couldn't find a job in their field. Mom had to start as a care aide while she re-certify as a registered nurse even though she has a masters and taught nursing in a college in the Philippines. Dad had to settle as an appliance technician.\n\nThe 4 of us lived in a single-bedroom basement suite, but we bought a half-duplex in Vancouver in a couple of years, which would be practically impossible these days.\n\nI make a decent amount niw and own 3 properties, but if I have to buy my house at its current market value ($1.9m), I can't afford it. Even that half-duplex, my parents sold it at 6x during a down market years ago.\n\nThen there's crime and drugs: I've worked in the downtown east side of Vancouver since 2006 and the last couple or so years has been really bad - it's like a zombie apocalypse. Glad I work remote and have moved to a suburb around Vancouver. That said, I'm highly considering moving but it's hard with kids and aging parents.

No one, eh? No one? All 40 million people are cursing the day the day they were born in Canada and are packing their bags as I type this? Hyperbole much? Let me guess, you work for China or Russia? Give it a rest.

Good day ma please am interested with my 4 kids

I’m Cuban but moved to Canada when I was 9. Now I am 25. Canada for sure has its issues, and I do want to leave one day, but not because I think Canada is so broken that the only solution is to leave, I just cannot take this cold for the rest of my life. With that being said, so many Canadians have no clue just how good we have it here, it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t complain in hopes to improve, but just to serve as a reminder, that compared to majority of the world, we are so lucky.

I left Canada six years ago back to Uzbekistan after nine years of life in Canada. It was the best decision I have ever made. Old stock Canadians are the most xenophobic and chauvinistic people I had ever seen. Tired of being treated like a piece of trash and imbecile, although I have MD and MS degrees. For educated people from any middle income country like Uzbekistan, immigration to Canada is a scam and modern day slavery. Toronto looks like a zoo, not a world class city. I don’t understand why Canada accepts so many immigrants if there are already hundred of people applying for a stupid position at Tim Hortons and every third of them have PhD.

What the shit is going on in this country you can't just turn a blind eye on what's going on .They have no business going in the streets people wake up you will one day find yourself being pushed off high rise flats with what going on .

Nice and well thought out video. Even though I don't agree with everything, you said it in a considerate way and shared your honest experience. It was just unfortunate that you did not get enough time to settle down. Moving to any new place is extremely tough and especially when you are moving to a completely new city. I live in Germany and I love it here. My wife and I came here to study, but my wife came first and she had a really bad first 6 months in winter. Things got much better later. We Indians miss house help so much in early days, but the fact is you have so much free time here and things are well organized. You don't waste time in traffic, you don't have to go 10 times to a government office to get work done, you don't have to sit with kids everyday to do homework, kids can come and go to school on their own, there is little dust so houses don't get dirty every day, everything is planned and no one is visiting your house suddenly. So in reality, doing the house chores aren't such a big deal because you have a lot of time.

Not many people have a Hitler maustache in this day and age. Reminds me of Anwar Sadat and his swastika tie!

Talking BS. Only poor muslim countries are doing anything. If they want they can stop the war in a day using oil as leverage. \nIt's disgusting and discouraging.

This is illegal? Their is only one law in ENGLAND ? That is BRITISH LAW ? IF THEY DON'T LIKE IT? GET OUT OF THE COUNTRY? go to some Muslim country ! If they will have them? These people better start behaving themselves, because the European country's or should I say the CHRISTIAN countries? That are willing to put up with them? And their ideology are getting fewer every day? Now their begining to overstep the mark and begining to get on people's nerves? ENGLAND WILL NEVER BE AN ISLAMIC STATE? don't forget you have your JIHADS and we have CRUSADES?

Arabs these days know how to respond to these kind of questions.

I stopped visiting Canada 40 years ago because of insane or corrupt border control policies. I traveled to Canada from California to record an album for a popular rock star. My crew number 4 people and we had reserves a month for basic tracking in a studio there. We bought our own reels of 3 inch wide recording tape because the studio wanted twice the rate as normal and since my studio was a distributor for the mastering tapes we brought from my own inventory. Each reel of tape was 3 lbs and brought 30 reels. We got to customs and they said we owed money for importing the tape. Normally a reel would have been $180, and customs wanted $38,000 x 20, and would not let us retrieve it to take it back to the US side of the border. How can a tape worth $180 suddenly have duty of $38,000?\nIt was explained to me as the Potential Value of the tape which meant AFTER a hit song was recording in it. Most recordings are total losses and the tape cant used on a new project even if properly bulk-erased. They expected me to pay on the spot $760,000 in duties. I gave up and left the tape with them. I called the artist and said we could not do the project in Canada and we went back to California. The artist came to us a few months later and the result was a minor hit, and probably barely made its production cost since the label only distributed it in Canada. I talked to an international trade lawyer about what happened and he said customs officials were wrong in Canada but they are given full latitude with no appeal so his advice was never take anything over the border that I did not mind being confiscated. Sometimes they would let it in because it was going back out in a month, but likely they sold it off and pocketed the money. The US is corrupt on a federal level but Canada is corrupt on the local level. I moved out of the US 24 years ago have a much higher quality of life than is even possible in the US, and live very cheaply. Total cost of living with a very active social and cultural life impossible to duplicate in the US which as some of the least options for culture. And my cost of living is $1500 a month, less than utilities alone for one house in California, and that is for 2 people. Last month for example I attended world class opera, ballet and symphonies 9 times, and went out to dinner, in jazz clubs or dance clubs, visited12 top museums, and it was still under $1500 for the month. A pair of tickets to the MET in NYC for lower grade performance, sets, orchestra ad theater, was $1800!! $600 for tickets to drama for 2. Here there 237 drama theaters within walking distance of my city center home, and can walk anywhere at any time of day and be safe due to VERY low crime rates. Free medical is good. I am not citizen but still I had an operation and 10 days in a vip single room for $5300 and despite my insurance I had been paying back in California $824.month, it was going to cost me out o pocket $500,000 and one day in a recovery 12 bed room, and require paid nursing attendant for 30 days. The results were great and was treated like king.\nCanadians have lost control of their government but Americas are screwed regardless, with lower than international standards for everything, with crime, corruption in Washington, extreme cost of living, no access to culture, few if any safe parks. My adopted city is not only far more beautiful than any US city, my GF can walk, alone, anywhere in a city of 7mil at any time of day through any of the 600 beautiful parks open 24/7..at 3am. There are no homeless, and 80% of those over 20yo own their home clear of debt. No college debt despite twice the % of people having degrees. The rest of the world caught up and has surpassed the US and Europe in quality of life. \n\nI have only been back to the US 5 times in 24 years and each time I am shocked by how much the entire society has declined while most of the world outside of Europe, Canada, US, UK or Australia have dramatically improved.\nEvery year since 2008 more Americans leave the US to live elsewhere than legal immigrants arrive.

Absolutely correct..Stop ? the weight..Saudi act like our Prophet Muhammad Alayhi'Ssalam..The Command to resist against hypocrisy and disbelief with vengeance ?Why will be asked on The last day..

Speaking like the modern day colonialist he is

Please be careful. A married British Columbia couple moved to the San Francisco Bay and somebody ripped off their Uhaul van with their stuff the first day

The big problem is Jordan did what she’s asked several decades ago and Isreal used it as an opportunity to land grab by refusing the right to return of the Palestinian refugees. Still to this day, all these decades later, Jordan has a refugee camp with 6 million Palestinians in it waiting to be given the right to return. Anyone who knows anything about the conflict knows it’s a core element of the dispute.

Palestinians are a wall between Arab world and Israel, the day this wall falls Israel will demolish other Arab states because borders of greater Israel are from Nile to euphreatis river, it includes medina in Saudi Arabia.

The question by the reporter must have if you are concerned why not do something? Why not oil embargo? The world can take a few days of inflation for the suffering people!

Yeah the US and Europe pushing the the arab world to send palestinian to leave gaza so that the israel can get their land the gaza to mine oil for the US like they do till this day in syria they occupy oil feild in syria.

Mmmh maybe because Canada is becoming day by day the worst dystopian leftist / woke shithole ?

Very good answer on ur face and it's a fact give Palestine there land west bank also give it back shame on u Israel American UK and all who supports Israel ur days are numbered.America ur no more super power that's a fact

This is the problem since 1948 the Arab world, the 21 Arab countries are creating the problem between the Palastinian and the jews, they are the root of the conflict from the first beginning, they are inciting the violence they never fix the problem from day one, just because they choosed to be the anime of ISRAEL.

End of the day no matter what everyone thinks of their safety. Fact

70% of our resource production is foreign owned. Compare that to Norway's government who own more than 50% of the production of it's natural resources. Night and day outcomes between the 2 countries.

I'm Canadian and cannot understand why ANYONE would EVER want to move to the US. Where you can be shot at anytime, where social injustice reins and racism rules. Where the country is heading for fascism. Give me peaceful, polite beautiful, free Canada (did I mention safe?) any day and I will happily pay more for groceries, YES there are some things that need changing, but that requires voters who actually want improvements.

Not accepting Palestinians is not the problem. Both Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are partners in crime. They had a fancy meeting, what was the result? If they cut off the oil, the next day Israel would stop the genocide, but they didn't. both countries should add the Star of David to their flags.

Rich country with poor people these days

Arab has not and will not help because of Wester money. Yes why should Palestinians go anywhere. However at the end of the day Israel will get all the land then go into Lebanon

Gone are days when the Arab leaders couldn’t speak English, were not eloquent, could be presented as backwards or uncivilized. We just now need them to become warriors.

talk is so cheap these days, blah blah blah. DO SOMETHING!

The Palestinians are being used by the rest of the muzlem world to bring about the day when muzlems kill the jews. All the details are in the hadith, koran and tafseer. They won't allow the Palestinians that do want to leave because of their religious war. They won't be honest about it though. Getting a muzlem to speak the truth to non muzlems would be 'lahs first miracle

Hmmm, yet Arxbs invaded Africa and robbed their land, enslaved their people ant till this day have the same anti - Black behavior as every-one else who's rxping the continent go figure?

Hey reporter arent u concerned about your hypocrisy. Actually the reporters, so called journalists, should go on demonstrations....to tell the world that they know they are lying for the elites...but have no other option , then the next day they can continue their work again, asking these ironic questions.

Just imagine if the Arab leaders said these exact words before 1948 war when they attacked modern Israel on or next day of its formation and told Arab residents to leave as there will be violence and bloodshed. After losing all the wars now they understand violence is not the solution but peaceful resolution and humanitarian aid and separate Palestine state alongside Israel peaceful coexistence but Hamas aims only to destroy full Israel and Jews which is the meaning of Free Palestine from River to Sea that's gone viral even among young westerners ignorant of history. Will any of these Arab leaders actually advocate Hamas and its River to Sea slogan? Everyone knows the answer

They could have left their land every single day but they would die for it and are dying for it. They are there for a reason.

Hypocrites! Where's all the money for the poor Palestinians. Just compare the infrastructure to both Israel and Palestine. Its night and day!

This reporter is working for israel, asking the question on the zionist behest.Remember the Nakba 75 years ago, the Palestinians were ethnically cleansed from their lands, till today living as refugees in Jordan and other Arab lands.These days land grabbers openly declare to the world they’re going to create another Nakba! Evil people indeed.

God's willing I hope one day Saudi hv veto power in UN, \nthey r seriously strenghtening their economy rn so they can hv significant influence to the world economy

Sure but what are you doing actively besides dancing with Trump and shakeing the very bloody hand of the Israeil’in president! Why not boycott oil selling to EU for just a view days!!

You can do that but yet you choose no to you don't want your soliders to be fighting you choose to stay silent rather I myself can't even imagine for what situations are u saving your army for? I hope not the day of judgment .What goes around comes around and you'll also pay the price like Palestinians And you as being arab you can pledge you govt and call court of Law against Israel because no price can pay the lives of Palestinians. You ppl can erase Israel in a second but you still dont do anything. Simple as that

I only can afford to eat one meal a day. I’ve been living like this for 4 years.
