If you come from the UK, Canada is much better in every respect. So many variables but good points made here.

Did I see some insecurity there from Xi jingling??? Every dictator has that fear......

Canadas so bad now All the rich upper class racists don’t even wanna be here y is my first generation immigrant ass still living/working here akin to bein a second class citizen especially when u realize most service jobs and generally shitty positions are filled by ppl that look like me instead of just a mix rly says a lot when every worker at a time is a underplayed overworked colored person getting fucked over by our fucked workforce and dying economy

Every country has issues I love my country so many more pros than cons those of you that wish to leave can do so bye-bye. ❤ ?? ?

No Arab nation wants the Palestinians because the Palestinians destabilised every place they were placed as refugees.

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

Canada opened it self to any refugee that crawled in and legally lets in a million people every year which the same amount that the U.S. does but the U.S. has more then 10 times the population. So they tax the hell out of every working person and then give free stuff to the millions of free loaders.

every liberal city in america is 50% more exspensive republican citys but there too is getting up to new york city level.

This is mostly the marginal explanation. What is actually causing the problems in Canada is PRECISELY the expectations of a high standard of living absolutely everyone has, including brand new immigrants. Who as if they were owed a palace immediately begin complaining about the work they have to do and the fact they're not immediately appointed the king of Canada. To put simply, we have an incredibly spoiled population, a population that expects low prices for everything and has a terrible productivity overall and does not wish to work in the kinds of jobs that every economy needs in order to fuel everything else. Food production is the so-called inceptive value. The more food you produce, the more people can consume it, and this in turn flows through the economy to enable all the other kinds of economic activity. We have to bring in hundreds of thousands of temporary foreign workers from Mexico just to be able to harvest. In the past, Canada allowed immigration from all over the world of people who were mostly poor, refugees, and those desperate for a new life. They worked all the time doing every kind of imaginable job in every kind of condition. They built this country with their perseverance and hard work. The immigrants today, are selected on a points-based system, and the idea behind this is that someone with two university degrees, or trained in a profession, even if they don't work in their field in Canada because they're all sorts of barriers to transferring your education, are not very likely to be criminals or antisocial types. Criminals or antisocial types. In other words, Canada has chosen to attract high quality candidates on the assumption that they would be less likely to become criminals, while they in turn, having been picked from the best in their society, arrive in Canada with very high expectations, and discover that actually they're going to have to work in all sorts of other kinds of jobs and will probably not work in their field, even though that's what got them the points to come to the country. The country. This is the brilliant system brought in by Stephen Harper's conservatives, which brings in people with high education, and allegedly high skills, especially high language skills, so the government doesn't have to pay for their language training, but it doesn't consider the fact that these are very often people with other choices, who are not willing to work in construction or farming or service or retail or all those kinds of things that we desperately need workers in. The reason why we can't build enough housing has nothing to do with local governments and property values. It has to do with lack of labor. This education system, for some unbeknowned reason, is absolutely terrible, and provides basically no skills, training or education for the vast majority of high school students such that when they graduate high school, their forced to go to university or college. Since they have absolutely no training. In most parts of the world you finish high school and you have a trade, or you have some skill to begin working, the kids here know nothing. Nothing. Other than emotional safety, intersectional language, and wokeism. On top of that, the government has brought in every kind of environmental restriction and regulation on account of incredibly loud, but actually small minority of enviro lunatics, who most of the time use these environmentalism as a cover precisely for protecting their high property values in very luxurious and special places around the country, and they oppose logging and all sorts of resource extraction under the guise of environmentalism. But it's actually to preserve their special privileged position often in some wilderness or island, where they might be the only one or a handful of families who got lucky to somehow own a property. Property and so they oppose everything on account of environmental reasons. But it's just to keep people out and preserve their own privileged place. This country also as most others suffers from the illness of dishonesty and lack of integrity brought about by a culture of marketers where nothing is the way it is said to be. Everything is a fine print. And we have gotten used to this as normal. We've gotten used to having credit cards, charges, 25% interest, we've gotten used to being ripped off constantly by all the corporations for everything, and nobody complains and they just borrow more and they just bottle it in and now it's finally coming out. Out. People are fed up of the enviral lunatics. They're fed up of people who complain and bitch one moment about the pipeline and then complain and bitch the next moment about the high cost of gasoline when the pipeline is temporarily shut down for servicing. The problem with Canada is Canadians.

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.

since trudeau took office, every single aspect of Canada has gotten severely worse. From housing to cost of living to homelessness to drug abuse to 12+ hour wait in hospitals to extreme high tax. There is not one thing that hasn't gone 10x worse. Few years ago, my aunt passed away in Burnaby BC while waiting for breast cancer surgery that never came.

He is right! Every country should do the same as Saudi Arabia! No country should allow refugees from Palestine!

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.

He did answer correctly. Why Palestinians need to leave thier motherland. İt İsrail has to go away far far and far away\n... Very away you know what l mean. AWAY FROM EVERY LİVİNG BEİNGS.

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?

Every word from him ? right! & true!

Translation: We dont want Palestinians in Our Countries, Every Arab Nation Comment if they were telling The Truth.

You are spot on. I was born in Canada and I have lived in every province. Everything you said is accurate. Sadly, Canada was not always like this. Hopefully we can find our way again.

What precedence would be set if a whole nation is killed or uprooted and scattered about due to imperialist arrogance? It is the same mentality that wiped out indigenous people across Earth and transported people across the Atlantic for economic gains. It is the same arrogant spirit operating here. Love for every human on this Earth.

Ya cause the Jews have never been ther before at any time in history, Arabs all over the middle east are enjoying every minute of this war

I immigrated to Canada in 2010, and here are my experiences inside and outside Canada. I am grateful for a good education; having a Canadian passport opened up many opportunities in other countries to build a higher-level career. However, if I had known the amount of stress, health, and financial damage that I had to endure, I wouldn't have chosen to come to Canada. I would have remained in the US or EU countries where I could achieve even more without suffering to the level I did here. \n\nMisleading immigration promotion: The government-sponsored Canadian immigration program oversells what Canada can offer. It withholds information on the cost of living, chicken-and-egg problems like Canadian work experience is required to get a job at the same level as you are in, Canadian credit history is required to rent a proper apartment, Canadian education is required to secure a high-level job, etc. \n\nHiring process: I knew the Canadian system was not ideal for immigrants over a decade ago, but it got so bad now that even the born citizens are unable to survive. The Canadian government and employers lack a basic understanding that ambitious, high-achieving people immigrate to other countries for high-level positions using proper channels. It's ridiculous to see that Canada uses a point-based system to choose highly qualified personnel to enter their country yet expects them to pursue low-paying entry-level or labor jobs just because they have brown/black skin. At first, I thought having a Canadian degree and experience might help me get high-level jobs, and I didn't think how I spoke or looked would matter when I had high credentials to show off. So, I got my masters & Ph.D. from the Univesity of Toronto, which consistently ranks #1 in Canada. I have a bachelor's from a prestigious university in Asia and had a high-competitive, well-paid federal government job in another country. Still, none of that was recognized in Canada, and I had to volunteer for over 6 months, 10 to 12 hours/day, in a research lab that led to a funded PhD program. I worked even harder during my Ph.D. with many accomplishments, like 40+ research and leadership awards, internationally recognized scientific discoveries, and innovative technologies. I checked all the above and beyond in various domains (research, teaching, leadership, business, engineering consulting, collaborations, etc.). Yet, employers couldn't see past my race, gender, age, etc., and refused to give me the opportunity at the level of my qualifications. Luckily, I managed to secure short-term work in the UK & the US, and it changed even how I see myself. I was highly respected for my credentials, given higher positions than I applied for, and paid 3-4 times more salary and benefits. Of course, bias is an integral part of every society, but my race, gender, age, etc., were not as big of an issue to begin my career at the mid-career stage in these countries as opposed to Canada. \n\nHealthcare: Access to healthcare was another big challenge for me. When I moved to Canada in 2010, due to extremely low temperatures, I developed hives all over my body, my eyes got red, and I coughed for many months. The doctor said there was nothing wrong with me and refused to give me any medication. It took us years to get a family doctor, and we got one through my personal network. In 2015/2016, I developed an autoimmune disease, and my eyeballs popped out. As of today, I did not get to see an eye specialist as they have only 1 specialist in the area, and the waiting time is for years for the first consultation. Every time the family doctor told me that I had iron deficiency, even when I insisted that they should run additional tests and they cleared, they were flagged. The doctor never diagnosed my autoimmune condition. Luckily, during my short-term work in the UK, I saw competent interns who completed my care. NHS is poorer than the medical system in Canada... they are understaffed, don't have hospital beds after surgery, or don't have stock of paper gowns, yet the staff are highly competent and caring. Within 1-2 years, they did complete diagnosis by sending me to various specialists, completed eye surgery, and even found a lifelong condition that was preventing me from realizing my full potential. Following, in the US, the doctors confirmed the diagnosis of all the conditions within 1-2 months and put me on two small pills for life. It has dramatically changed my life, and I have even more admiration for the medical profession. While in Canada, I suffered for over a decade, and every time, I was treated as a hypochondriac and never given a single prescription. \n\nQuality of life: Big cities like Toronto are mainly affected by high crime rates, overpopulation, cost of living, low employment, low salaries, etc. A few months back, there was a huge auto theft, and one of my contacts lost their Lexus car within minutes of parking. Despite being a scientist, I have no faith in politicians or individuals fixing these problems. The salaries are not increasing, but the taxes and cost of living are on the exponential growth curve. The ridiculous part is that Canada expects you to pay taxes even when you are not employed or living in Canada! I lived in London and Boston, and they offer a much higher quality of life and pay. \n\nGrowth potential: No wonder Canada, being a G7 country, falls at the bottom of the list in innovation, equal opportunities, economic growth, etc. It has a decent education system but, due to its inherent bias in the hiring process and monopoly of certain businesses, loses talented immigrants and highly qualified Canadians to the US, the UK, and EU markets. Unless there is a dramatic shift in policies, Canadians, especially new immigrants, cannot expect any positive experience in Canada except for being discriminated against and losing valuable time and money by being there.

He is what every sane person is saying.Hamas's RULE is over and the Palestinian people will have there land but hatred for the jews has to go.

I wonder why Kuwait deported every Palestinian from their country, and why no Arabic country, including this clown, will not accept these people.

It’s not their land.. Every Arab country that has taken them in has expelled them. They don’t get along with anyone

Well done saudi arabia every singl arab waiting to hear from you something good concerning the palestinian people

That's it ! And every person in the world wants the same when someone is trying to steal land.

He made a clear statement… I agree in every word he said…

Yeees! Saudi FM just said The right answer. This reporter should ask Joe Biden that why USA give veto in UN security council? Except USA and UK every country support Palestinians for immediate cease fire.

Isn't a little suspicious that every time there is a war the global elite talk about where should the refugees go instead talking about how to end the need for them to leave? It's like they insist in keeping the supply of refugees unchecked.

None of the Arabs want to help because every time palestine's become refugees in another country they help an invading enemy try to take over that country. Know your history.

Thats the whe thing....the arab world doesnt care about the palestinian people suffering...they just CANT have the jews win. And they are using all methods. In every muslims eyes the jews must die or leave the enitirity of the holy land. The palestininas are their front line pawns.

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?

Every where the Palestinians go they have cause war. That is why no Arab country will take refugees.

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.

This is not right, Islam will turn every country into *Right wing* recently Italy and now geerth wilders won\nIn coming years *Britian first* party will also come in power if the white people feel ill-treated in their own country\nThen along with muslim, every non white (Chinese, hindus, sikhs) will be thrown under the bus.\nSame in India, because of muslim not accepting to change and modify themselves centric hindus are getting more and more right wing.\nWhen every country will have a right wing party then WW3 could start like happened in the past.\n\nChristianity modified themselves 300 years ago, and people who modified were called broad minded/liberals.\n\nIn hinduism the guy who started to ban Sati(raja ram mohan) and castism were also called Liberal/broad minded.\n\nBut is someone ask islam to modify its ill practices, they are called Right wing/Islamophobic/bigoted/racist.

Every time the Palestinians were pushed out a certain village they were never allowed to return again this is just the sinister tactics the Israel’s use

In short summary Every Country is playing Politics. ?

Oh yeah sure, ''easy, stop killing''.... let's stop every war in the world saying, ''just stop killing''

Can't say I'm surprised with the answers, most Canadians I know wont even vacation in America anymore, the situation is just too volatile. My family used to try and do a trip to Disneyland every couple years but their last trip ended coincidentally the day after Trump got in office...haven't even thought about going back since.

Canada has been sold from us Canadians by our greedy politicians and corporate interests. This idea that Canada just needs to build more homes is insane. There are millions of new immigrants, student visas, and illegal borders crossings every year. Most of Canada is desolate frozen tundra, rocky mountain, bog, dense forest, and the few spots where the weather is moderate everyone wants to live. People dont want more homes to be built because we can already barely drive anywhere due to traffic congestion, no one has doctors anymore, water restrictions start in early spring, no room for kids in schools. Everything is over crowded and over priced because theres way too many people here in a short amount of time and the infrastructure isnt close to being able to support it. The only ones benefitting from these out of control immigration practices are multi national corporate interests looking for a large cheap labour pool.

People complain a lot about every country. No country is perfect. However, Canada was just ranked second best country (just behind Switzerland) for 2023 by US News. Canada is expensive, but it's also the best.

In my country poor means no money but you can still eat and have a small house to sleep. Here, very depressing because everything and every move needs money

The north Korea / DPRK bashing is completely unnecessary. It's one of few countries where the people have successfully resisted massive attacks from western aggression. During the war against Korea, Japanese fascists have killed millions and the USA has bombed EVERY SINGLE BUILDING taller than 2 stories to the ground. 1 in 4 people of the DPRK have been genocided by the West. So virtually everyone has lost a loved one. Also the DPRK has been economically very strong before the 90s, before the highjacking and collapse of the Soviet Union. Even so strong, that they've assisted the Soviet Union. The USA is forcing every country on the planet to stop trade with DPRK in order to bleed out the country. It's their second genocide against the people of Korea after all the bombings, but the DPRK still stands. Something most countries couldn't achieve in history. There are so many vile and RIDICULOUS lies against the DPRK. People need to start thinking if what they're fed by western media makes ANY SENSE at all. And do some deeper reasearch. It's not that hard.

It is not sustainable to live in Canada anymore unless you want to be slave for rest of your life. Taxes and Prices are too high to live here.\nHealth care system is fked up along with housing. \n5 of my friends left country for better salary and life to other countries. Find good job is getting harder and harder every year. Low pay job does not even pay your rent. It becomes joke now what they did to this country.\nI have to fly out of country for full medical check up spend 2 hours and 800$ cad but i went thru test which you have to wait in canada 1 year or not permitted. Full CTI Scan MRI , endoscopy and full blood test, etc cost me 800$ and just spend couple hours without waiting so i got my result. In Canada it is not possible even you approve to go.thru test waiting time min 6.month. to visit family doctor 4 weeks waiting time. \nDo not waste your time.and money moving here there is only modern slavery here

Canada doesn’t accept half a million people every year! That was just this year, normally the numbers are about half of that!

Another reason housing is unaffordable in Canada is the requirement that Canadians refinance their mortgage every five years. Rates are higher now than they were five years ago, and Canadians are paying the price.

I think you could say the same for every first world countries major cities. Immigrates first consideration should be to improve their opportunities in their home country and avoid migration. \n\nFirst generation immigrants to Canada going back to the early 1900’s had a very difficult life and often only their children benefit. Many immigrants come to Canada with the sole purpose of obtaining a passport for ticket out of their political unstable native country if it goes south.

And so you have to walk for 15 min for a bus, but in Nigeria an anti-gravity bus comes by every 10 seconds, right?

This episode of BBC ia about the migration of people from Africa to Europe . People from Africa mainly got to Europe to get good living conditions..They are risking their life and going throught the Sahara derset. They are carried bu Toyota Hilux which is one of the best vechile to go through the desert . Many people say that if you want to achieve something in life you must risk your life and he concludes that the last word is in God. There is a chance that the snugglers take their money and leave them abandont the middle of the desert . The smugglers earn a loot if money here. There a dozen of vechile and hundreds of people Willing to go to Europe every day.The percentage of reaching Europe is about 80.\nBY ARAVIND ?

Put some real meat behind your video to lift its quality. Lots of newspaper headlines without references/sources, and the great argument about oligopolized industry needs reference numbers, too. It's a very sobering video, especially given how Canada has the same trends as every Western country - just more intense.
