All the Arab neighbours don't want muslim Palestinians within their borders due to the experience of them being there before when the host countries have to fight wars to drive them out the muslim Palestinians even assassinated the Jordanian prime minister Wasfi Tal when they were expelled to Lebanon where the muslim Palestinians waged a war against the Lebanese remember these people have caused unrest and bloodshed where ever they get a foothold

People keep asking why other Arab countries don’t take in Palestinians but that’s exactly what Israel wants. The Palestinians want to live in the land they have called home for generations.

Oh what he's actually saying. We don't give a crap. We want those people there to use as political pawns.

Yes he's right but the Palestinians don't have the right to be shooting rockets at innocent people and starting wars !!!!, hes no fool he doesn't want them thier either we are the only nieve ones opening our boardes to them !!!, thats why we need Trump !!!

This is what some people don’t understand.. the Palestinians know that if they were to move to the nearby Arab countries, they will lose Palestine forever, they don’t want to make the same mistake as their ancestors in 1948

These people should be expelled from all western nations. They dont appreciate our culture, in fact they want to destroy it. They're very vocal in that, and we let them get away with it

No one blamed the European countries when they didn’t want to take in Jews and just gave them to the Nazis…\nWhy would I as a European blame the Arab countries for not taking in even more refugees, when it just helps Israel to get away with more human rights violations and displacement of people ?\nBut generally I have lost all my fate in western media. Even if the stick to the fact they leave out important information if it doesn’t suit Israel. Sad thing is I don’t even believe they get paid for that…\nI can only hope other people will be smart enough to realise this and punish our politicians for the involvement in this

We the citizens of the world totally agree with this reporter. The Zionists want the Palestinian to live their country and then take what is the rest of the land to put more criminals religious people ..

It's ok, because ISREAL wants to protect there people and future from terrorism and they will do and go to any extent possible... U can't keep denying the fact that ISREAL is the owner of that LAND not PALESTINE...

Right now the compassionate thing to do is to let these people out of Gaza and leave this brutality. \n\nEgypt, Jordan and Saudi don’t want to take these poor people in. \n\nYes, unfortunately this means Gazans not being an able to return and Isreal growing larger but the terror and onslaught on the poor people will stop. The Israelis want to be so brutal that out of compassion for the Palestinians, the gates are opened for them. But the Arabs states are not willing to help as Europeans took Ukrainians in their homes. \n\nAt this time, there is no winning against the combined strength of Israel and the US.

Why these media people also want to remove the Palestinian inhabitants from their homeland instead of advising the forced occupiers to go out of other's land. \nWhat an agenda conspirators...??

Crazy though if you think about the last 20 years muslims Run away from muslim countires and run to western countries. Muslim nations with money have never taken refuge in for there people , but europe has . And then what happens they want to turn the place into the one they run away from, not all but most

Great response. The ones who are doing the killing just want the other nations to take them on so they rid themselves of what the believe is their problem. Palestinian people. Praise Yeshua for he reveals darkness as we see today.

So that reporter and the people she works for want another nakba?

Imagine a war torn family with 2 kids and the mother and father reach one of their borders, All they want is safety food and shelter. Nobody cares about the motherland when your family is in danger, will they give them asylum or refuge in that case? Or will they keep saying the root problem needs to be fixed to them and send them back to get killed with their children, this is a horrible answer. Palestinian people are humans too and giving them refuge does not mean giving them your land.

Straight to the point, no flowering words, etc. Well said! Pro-Israel has been calling out Arab world to do something about it, like opening up their borders and take these people as refugees, not knowing Palestinians don't want to leave their own land.

What an idiotic question, this question is common in the west by the way. The colonisers are trying to guilt trip others into helping them with their ethnic cleansing!\n\nThe Arab world has let the Palestinians down by not standing up for them. At the same time the only one to blame is Israel and the US because if the Arab and Muslim world stood up then we may be in WW3. This is a lesson for humanity, we have come to the brink of a world war just because one country wants to clean people native to the land by killing them and removing them from their land.\n\nLuckily we believe in Allah and we know Allah won't let oppression go on forever and definitely not let oppressors go unpunished.

The reason why we're shaming our muslim countries leaders and asking them to intervene is because western actions tell us that they don't have any morality. But western hypocrites don't have any right to tell that to others. These shameless people just want a W A R so that they can get a reason to call Muslims T-word. And again What's even the use of UN.

So many Americans are one paycheck, from being homeless,and these people want America to house and feed them with welfare ,Medicaid and government homes HELL NO!!!!!!

What are you talking about?! This is so devoid of any and all facts, it's literally laughable. We have a housing crisis because too many people want to move here. DEMAND is WAAAAY up, thats why the housing is expensive (see how that works?). We have been ranked second best country to live in, only beaten by Sweden. We are the 24th most ecpensive place to live (not exactly on top). This guy needs to learn how to research. Wow. Dude, I think it's time to go back to school.

Regarding making friends... it is hard making friends in Canada. Even if you are an introvert and you come to Canada alone eventually you will want to make friends to find an spouse. People in Canada are too politically correct that will barely talk to you... so the advise is trying to find your own group of people: church/religion, hobbies, etc. and take initiative to invite people to hang out , etc.

What has happened in Canada is actually quite simple. Companies sell products and services. Companies require employees in order to sell those products and services. The difference between what the companies can those products and services for and what they pay the employees is profit. The owners of the companies want to maximize this profit, therefore want to pay employees as little as possible. Scarcity is labour is one of the driving factors behind what employees are paid. One way to decrease scarcity of labour is to bring in massive amounts of immigrants. That is exactly what Canada has been doing for decades. The owners of the companies take profits and invest it in real estate. This makes real estate unaffordable for the employees whose wages have been suppressed. Lower wages also means less money from taxes available for services like health care. We allowed our politicians to be bribed into allowing massive levels of immigration. Stagnant wage growth resulted in lowered consumptive capacity in the economy. This lead to stagnant economic activity and lowered investment into things that would make the Canadian economy more productive. What we have now is unaffordable housing. Lack of jobs. A failing health care system. An educational system where the bar was lowered to accommodate the lowest common denominator. Increased crime and substance abuse resulting from the subsequent hopelessness. Several families living in a single house. People working several low paying jobs just to try to get by. People with full-time jobs that are forced to choose between being homeless or starving to death. The immigrants that are still coming here are sleeping on the sidewalk in front of homeless shelters, or maybe scraping by delivering UberEats.

With all of these people who have commented about leaving Canada, hopefully, there'll be a lot more housing available for all the people who want to move here.

And, people come to Canada expecting to find a home and a prosperous job, but consider working in the trades, a key element to building homes, is not what they want to do for work. Too many don’t want to do manual labour. They want “easy” jobs because labour is beneath them.

Canada was conceived by the British. They wanted to stop the Americans from taking over their holdings. Canada does not work geographically, politically or economically any longer, it never really did. Just look at the history of the west, Louis Riel, Quebec's submission, maritime poverty, etc. This 19th century British Imperialist experiment has failed. The Federal government is taxing and mishandling the billions of dollars it hoards. It doesn't seem to matter what party is in Ottawa, they all stay up late at night dreaming up ways to screw over the Canadian citizens.Housing? Why do people get shoved into these expensive and ugly mansions? What family needs more than 1800 sq. ft.?

Ok hold on a second. Im an offshore person who wants to immigarte to Canada. Ive spent a huge chunk of money for IELTS and Evaluation of my education solely for thst purpose. How the greedy landlords manipulate the market is not being talked about enough. Your government decides to increase immigration because you guys have been complaining about labor shortage. And when people actuallt went, you started blaming them for driving the housing price? The majority of immigrants are living off basic salasy at an entry level job, are you sure they are the major driver?

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.

Its interesting that as soon as the US government decided that monopolies where great, things started to fall apart here too. Housing prices are out of control, and homelessness is increasing - along with laws victimizing homeless people. Its like the people who run these companies are mentally ill. They want customers and employees, but they do everything they can to destroy or drive away everyone who could become a customer or employee.\n\nI was lucky to buy something before housing prices went insane. But now there's no way to move anymore because renting is too expensive, and investors just out bid everyone and drive up the prices. I really prefer renting, and I used to always move to be near my current job. But for my next job I would have to waste 15 hours a week to drive to a job I could do just as well at home. If I didn't have family here, I would leave.

Born in Canada, I left Canada 10 years ago for SE Asia. Canadian Salary was good but after Tax and poor exchange rate, Purchasing power is no good, Work life balance feels like slavary. Weather is harsh. I wouldn't want my kids exposed to the school and social system. \n\nSocial justice and westeren guilt has gone wild.\n\nAlot of people seemed unhappy.\n\nMarriage laws made me SWARE to stay single / Marry abroad.\n\nThere are however plenty of good things about Canada too of course.\n\nI may return if we get a sensable goverment someday.

Lmao, and people wanted Trudope.

I like how you compared the pros and cons of why people would want to (or not want to) immigrate to Canada.

Even Canadians don't want to live in Canada. The communities have become violent and dangerous with people from violent and dangerous countries, like Nigeria.

The authoritarian dictatorship we live under is one big issue here. Taxing us to death, giving tax payer money to other countries for rediculous reasons (gender shit) \nHes destroying the west on purpose. Cap and trade BS. Liberals are bringing 500000 people here a year with no skills, and if they do have a skill, they arent allowed to use it. They want all the Western countries living standards dropped too third world standards so they can say we are equals. They want poor subservient plebs to build the prisons we will live under.

This is not entirely true. Houses are available in many smaller cities and towns from Alberta to Manitoba. Lethbridge and medicine hat, both small cities in Alberta have good houses in the $200 k range. If people want to move there then they will attract infrastructure like roads and rail connections. But right now all immigrants are going to Toronto area, which is putting strain on services and housing.

And our government is encouraging them to come. They want this and until people wake up our country is going to collapse. This is all part of their plan.

This follows the current Conservative narrative. Yes Canadian housing is going through a rough patch, worse than most G7. But the people under the most stress are in the the three western provinces where the economy is more resource based and to some extent the maritimes where the rate of mortgage arrears are above average. Ontario and BC rate of mortgage arrears is the lowest and make up are the largest housing market. Canada has many large international corporations like Nutrien, Barrick Gold, banks, Enbridge, Constellation Software, Shopify, Suncor ... Healthcare is tricky to compare but where Canada mostly falls short as reported by the NIH is dental care and drugs which the NDP want to address. Although primary care could be improved, falling a little below Europe.

Tyrannical Gov't forcing experimental medicines on people, might have been a reason to? ^^ People often want the Canadian passport b/c it is better than whatever S-Hole country they came from, not the country, the passport so they can move around easier. :)

Lack of housing and increased cost of living that is exceeding income growth seems to be a problem in many first world countries. In Canada we need to cool immigration until we have caught up with the housing needs of the people already here so its a good thing that people don't want to come here.

I’m an immigrant of two years from the UK. I have to say at the time of moving due to Covid everything was expensive throughout the world and there was uncertainty in most things. Myself and my wife now have our own businesses as we found that the system here does not favour immigrants in getting the jobs Canada claims it needs to fill. The reality is the government and unions don’t want educated people to fill mid to high paying jobs and it’s impossible to get jobs in teaching, nursing, doctors etc if you are not educated here. The government wants immigrants to populate and work the low paid jobs even if they have a bachelor, mba or phd.

Same is happening in Australia we also got let as many pacific islands as want to come here to why are migrants more important then the local people

Might this be the case of reverse gentrification which happens in US, Europe and people are just not enjoying it. I see in Berlin the original berliners now have to move 2 hours away and higher income earners have taken all the central housing. Its good for the economy and not good for the original folks unless they were homeowners. Its a function of growth and not regression. Plus with flying cars incoming soon wont everyone want to live far far away?

They look like they want to live in the United States to have a better life in a free country to be happy Trump does not want them to be happy and have a better life you do not understand that people want to be happy that life is bad were they come from

Yes Canada, especially big cities Metro Vancouver or Toronto, is like a Mercedes or Porsche… who wouldn’t want one, but how many people can afford?

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 ?

Currently, annual immigration in Canada amounts to around 500,000 new immigrants – one of the highest rates per population of any country in the world. As of 2022, there were more than eight million immigrants with permanent residence living in Canada - roughly 20 percent of the total Canadian population. Where is the data coming from that no one wants to live in Canada anymore?\n\nCanadians love to complain. Yes, there is crime, homelessness, drug use, extreme weather, housing crisis... but that's not isolated to Canada. Obviously there are ways to improve, but I wonder which other country would Canadians like to live in instead? Also, Canada is not just Vancouver and Toronto... Canadians are spoiled with the ability to easily move to lower cost of living areas in the same country. Imagine living in Singapore where and entire country is expensive and a Toyota Prius costs more than $100k, or Hong Kong where the real estate prices make Vancouver seem cheap... but people can't move away.

I'm an Indigenous Canadian and I don't want to live here. Canada is a good place to live for rich people though. If you come from a poor family it truly sucks. Can't wait to finish university and move out of here. ?

Very good points. Certainly feels just like you described. What I dont understand is WHY not more people talk about this?\nAwareness can lead to pressure that can lead to change. Seems like in Canada nobody wants to talk about the probolems in the country, people are reluctant.. and I dont understand why? Anyone has any idea?

Canadians don’t want you coming here! Regardless of what you hear the feckless, government funded, media hacks say, the fact is, the Canadian People do not want you USA rejects, Or any other illegal immigrants invading Canada! Trudeau, stating that he speaks for all Canadians is an outright LIE! If “Canadians” had their fair say, Trudeau would be LONG GONE!! We despise Trudeau, and we despise illegal migrants!

If the economic trend stays the same people will be more miserable and angrier than they already are, who wants to live in a country where everybody is angry and sad, I would move out of this country in a heartbeat if there wasn't so many roadblocks keeping us captive and poor.

good analysis. After living in Canada for 18 years, I want to move out of Canada and retire somewhere else . I don't like the weather, high taxes, and woke/liberal culture. People are also more down to earth and friendly in Asia/Mexico
