I’m surprised he didn’t respond saying that Palestinians are always welcome in other Arab countries first, and then continuing with his response.

there's nothing wrong with Canada educating the world but it shouldn't be a direct pathway for permanent residency. The other thing that Canada has to check is the quality of education that these students are getting. I spoke to some and they say that they didn't learn much

I had a house for rent a proper 3 bedroom 1.5 bath semi-detached home in Mississauga where 6 international students wanted to lease the house for 1 year, and I was advised by the City of Mississauga that having unrelated individuals share bedrooms would be considered a rooming house and because I didn't want to risk the wrath of Bonnie Crombie's government fining me I didn't even consider their application. Generally, I would prefer leasing a home out to a family but I was inundated with demand from these students. I don't understand why the Cities won't permit these types of dwellings and why they permit these universities to grow and expand their campuses without ensuring enough housing. I mean Canadians are having a hard time finding homes. The fear as well is letting 5 or 6 students rent your house will turn to 8 or 10 people living there, subsidizing the rent for the original group

He was very eloquent in saying what she didn’t want to hear!!??

I didn't know all this about Canada. It sounds a lot like America to be honest. Thanks for this video. It was very informative.

You didn't even mention the bombed out looking streets and closed highway ramps making driving a nightmare. Antifa riots every May day too. There's videos on youtube of it. Hey but at least they're changing the street names, that won't confuse tourists too much, lolol!

Didn't Saudi Arabia cut of humantarian aid off to Yemen?

I’m astonished at the way the man kept his cool with his response. Western nations didn’t ask Arab countries a dang thing when they created Israel. Western nations need to fix what they’ve broken.

I lived in TO for 20 years. Didn’t like the climate much and was looking to move somewhere south but not to the States. Ended up in Merida, Yucatan, purchased lovely furnished colonial house with the pool, former AirBnB, 1km away from the main cathedral. No need for a car. Paid little 6 years ago for the $$ most people can’t afford to renovate their kitchens in TO. Monthly bills are $140 CAD including all the services, property tax, excellent internet, electricity and yes we use AC when sizzling hot outside. The best of all there are some direct flights to TO and we do visit in summers exclusively ?. Overall ….we are born again, the best decision ever. Still love TO but too pricey for us as we need more than $140 daily for survival!

Canada is a country that is built on middle class where a large part of the population are within the same earning range. There are positives to this, less crime, there is not a huge disparity between rich and poor which makes for a more sane environment don’t get me wrong, we still have our crime rate. Now you can see that the professional programs are limited compared to other countries in the universities and highly competitive so that you don’t have so many professionals with high earning power thereby creating a huge disparity. On the other hand, these high earners don’t get a tax return, get any govt cheque, their kids don’t get huge amounts for OSAP instead, they get billed to pay back the govt and that’s how those of you complaining now where able to get govt cheques when you just relocated, support low income homes and newly landed immigrants. There’s free health, good Ammenities, snow is cleared, the roads are salted and de iced, free Education, govt loans and school loans that’s where your tax money goes to. Everyone has an accent that’s your identity why will you feel somehow or intimidated when you are told you have an accent that’s being timid say yes I have an accent it’s African or Caribbean etc. About racism it’s rare never experienced it that’s not saying it doesn’t happen but am gonna call you out if it’s obvious I have been profiled. Yes the weather is harsh did you not look at your map before relocating ?? In all most of these complaints are individual experiences so I won’t invalidate it but don’t trash what you gained from. Retraining and certification is a must especially when you are coming from a certain country and it’s not a bad idea. Am in healthcare and retraining is a must if you didn’t school here cos it’s entirely different talk about work ethics, equipments, software, differentiation in policies, health laws and malpractice laws.\nLook at the brighter side of life and stop complaining migration has its pros and cons position yourself in a place to have a good life, go back to school, get certified, keep retraining and adding value to your certificate.

If only the Palestines didn't support Hamas!!! If only....

So basically, went to Canada, didn't want to integrate, didn't want play Canadian sports, enjoy the Canadian lifestyle / winter and Canada didn't fall over themselves to impose your religious ideologies / preferences on the rest of the society (loudspeakers and calls to prayer) ... OK, got it ...

Torontonians are the reason for the big change in Toronto. Too bad they didn't listen twenty five years ago when we told them where they were headed.

You didn't need to see a therapist, you needed a full-time job.

Is this in the news lately? I didn't even know there are many people leaving Canada,??

Notice how he didn’t answer the question. Why won’t the Arab countries take in the Palestinians fleeing the war in Gaza? Whether they have a right to live there or not is moot when bombs are dropping every 5 minutes.

They also didn’t force them to commit what they did October 7th.

The government didn’t do a very good job with your money. BIG SURPRISE ?‍♂️

That knife has religious significance but even then it’s still a knife. \nIt would help if it didn’t come out of the sheath or if it didn’t have a blade.

I have been in US for 20 years and can understand the experience that you are sharing. Frankly, countries like US and Canada are not for people who can’t do some basic things on their own. \nPeople leave their families and comfort of their home and come to these countries either to earn money, eventually have a good quality life or to provide a good quality education for their kids. If you don’t have a reason good enough to make that move and keep the option of running back home on facing little hardship then there is no way you can live in these countries. Forget about going and living in other countries you can’t even go and live in another state within India. Do you think it’s easy for a North Indian to go and live in South (or vice versa) where they encounter language and culture barriers? \nYou were in much much better situation as you already had PR and didn’t have to go through stress of handling uncertainty on your visa situation based on job.\nTrust me it takes few years for you to get adjusted to new environment, culture, people, food etc. But, as you spend more and more time in these countries you get more accustomed to way of living here and then you become so comfortable with it that you don’t want to go back at all.\nDon’t want to judge anyone but I guess in your case at your age with family already settled in India you didn’t have a solid enough reason to get out of your comfort zone and give time to get used to such big transition in your life

the calculation was based on ON income tax only and didn't include federal income tax :/

Thank you so much for this useful information. I don't understand why the housing crisis is happening in Canada and Australia as well. The population didn’t change too much compared to the pre-COVID. Where are those houses?

Refugees took no time in fleeing syria,iraq,yemen to European countries...arab world didn't take that weight also..

oh my god this search-for-work - obey - die schedule people go through is so disgusting! A medical professional not being able to find work and leaving the country is ridiculous. Any thoughts on the future of this country? The political topic that you said you didn't want to get too deep into was actually very interesting. Also check out the movies Interreflections and Zeitgeist: Moving Forward and text back what you think.

It’s clear that you didn’t have the mindset of adjusting. Canada May be good or bad I don’t know. But when you move to a new country you should not hold onto your way of life as the best way. If you do that you cannot adjust.

You are not the only one complaining about Canada. I think first of all, we have to understand that we had been living in a peaceful world for the past few decades in contrast with the world just after world war two, and every young people had been living in comfort during their whole life. The last few years had changed, and if the world leaders didn't control the situation very carefully, we might be living in a world war not surprisingly. The inflation we are having is worldwide as a result of the pandemic, and because we have this rising inflation, the world had changed, it would have been worst if there is a world war going on at the moment. So this high cost of living is happening everywhere, and some places are even worst if they are having a war. If you think Canada is bad, name a place that is better than Canada and live there. I doubt if you can find another place better than Canada even with all your complaints. Do more research and you will appreciate that you are one of the lucky ones living in Canada. If you do not agree, I invite you to make another video telling me your findings. We are just in a bad cycle, just wait till the cycle ends, and we will see the sun shining again.

I tried moving on a PR and it didn't last long. :D I don't think i could have survived during the pandemic without any work.

I'm not muslim but agree with your number 1 reason. I left the US because I didn't believe in their foreign policy. My respect to you for having the courage to make this change in your life. All the best to you!

Didn’t watch the video, but good for you. You take that hat and go free Palestine. We don’t need your terrorist support in Canada.

Then why are you silent u didn't help palestinians by giving food medicine etc.. u have the power go against to the US, UK like all. They are openly helping israel by giving military support. Shame on you leaders......

He didn’t answer the question at all he just cleverly used the word “weight” to mean something other than was originally meant. He is suggesting that Palestinians are not trying to flee into neighbouring Countries but if that is the case then he should simply say that. Instead he tells a half-truth by implying that Palestinians all actually want to stay in Gaza and that they are simply trying to help them do that by not letting them into their Country. It’s shameful really.

I wonder why you didn't just move to another province as opposed to leaving the country

Why didn't you guys go back any earlier. Remember this is not a Muslim country and you cannot expect rest of Canada to follow Muslim. Please go back I will help you with your air-ticket if you are that broke. We are very happy in Canada and we are living a very comfortable life here. we don't live from pay cheque to cheque. We have enough money to enjoy Canada. We are not business owners or rich & famous people. We came here 20 years back and honestly thankful to God with our decision made to Migrate from Asia. Please go don't come back !

Why didn't you move to Los Angeles, San Diego, or Miami?

A big part..........at least here in Vancouver why the healthcare system is broken here is due to the ongoing opioid crisis. The downtown eastside where many of the homeless and drug addicts live is known as the vortex because it sucks in all 1st responders across the lower mainland. Yet when someone who lives somewhere else in the city needs an ambulance you are screwed. Last year I had to wait over 8 hours for an ambulance........I live less then 10 minutes away from the nearest hospital. Because I couldn't move I had to sit there while my roommate had to call 9-11 over a dozen times to get me an ambulance. Doctors are even telling people to take a cab to the hospital if they can walk, because it's faster. \n\nAnd even when I finally got to emergency I had to wait hours to get looked at. The doctor didn't see me for almost 6 hours while i'm lying there screaming in pain. And this was on a Tuesday night, not even a weekend.

why didn't they condemn what the palestinians did to the israelis? The middle east has a lot of islamic countries - they should consider that

I appreciate your intelligence and your values! You’re both very articulate and interesting. recommend the UAE! We lived and worked in the UAE for 13 years and we loved living there - I didn’t want to leave. Fyi We”re not Muslim but made Muslim friends there who appreciate being where they are safe, where they’re not “different “ and subject to danger, and the weather five months a year is fantastic!

Didn't hear you mention the worst part about Toronto, TRAFFIC. Absolute gridlock everywhere. The most congested streets and highways in North America, and 3rd worst in the world!

Didn't expect dude to be so eloquent.

I would never move to Canada if I didn't already live here. Canada is out of control! Thinking about leaving myself

They come in without any vaccinations at all and are not required to have even standard vaccines like tuberculosis, rubella etc…they aren’t forced to take the “covid” vaccine either and yet Americans lost their rights in so many areas, they couldn’t go to Church, into places like restaurants, their gyms along with many other places they were either shut down or required you to have the vaccine and many lost their Jobs if they didn’t submit to taking the fraudulent and experimental vaccine. Funny that the left are STILL unable to process the fraud and lies that continue to be the real plague in the US.

Wonderful, didn't watch the video, but everyone is happy you are leaving.

Someone went to university in England didn't they ?

That’s terrible news that CANADA didn’t change for you.. Oh well.

The worst country to live\nEverything so expensive \nBringing people in but didn’t have plan where to place them ( housing)\nAnd not much job to offer\nMedical is terrible \nNo family doctor\nLow salary \nNormal people can’t live under these circumstances

You didn’t mention the worst aspect of Canada: the dictatorship of the liberal politicians. You have no “Bill of Rights “ to prevent the oligarchs from making terribly oppressive rules that remove all rights worth mentioning. In other words, going down the path of the Progressives who despise personal freedoms (see USA).. moving to Canada would not increase our freedom to live.

Trudeau is the worst thing ever happened to Canada. Canada was on a far far better economic path under Harper, but you know, he said some things a few people didn't like. Anyways, farewell, so long, bye bye, good luck.

So, if you believe what you believe, why didn't you stay in your muslim country in first place? This is the hypocrisy of the muslims, they criticize the culture in the western countries, but they move in there. Just go back where your belong and you will be very happy, this is my best advise, please take it.

I know this coming but I didn’t know this would be this fast

I cannot believe you didn't look into the country you moved to ..take your muslim faith back to your own country ...
