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.

When somebody asks why the other Arab countries don’t want to take the Palestinians, what they actually mean is why can’t you just let Israel have everything from the river to the sea?

so nicely said ??\nThen why they dont take any initiative?? \nActually they are silence in activity. \nIts a transaction between silence for the genocide and nuclear formula.. ?? \nSoudi will never stand with any Humanitarian. They just want to sacrifice everything for their power. ?? \nSoudi wants to win but Soudi arab is not in the win win situation. ?? \nThey are expecting wrong ??

European reporters looks like cross the borders and believes arabs is their own pets that takes everything they say

Stop buying stuff from the west and East simple.All Muslims need to stop buying stuff anything and everything from the west and East and show real power.

Everything said here is true. Housing and healthcare are so bad, you always think it can't get much worse, until some time goes by and it got worse yet...

How about u all learn Palestinian was never a country until very recently. An also the Israelis pulled out in 05 took everything that was Israeli even the graves. What the arabs need to do is condemn hamas and help end the bs that hamas is pulling which started this whole war now.

How they will live in a peaceful life when Hamas controls everything,, hamas destroy their land.. instead to build infrastructures they build tunnels and missiles???

Everything within the UN is sulk.....!!!

He's doing a wonderful job with his sweet and kind words, that's where my respect for MBS and all the Arab nations who put Palestine in it's current situation and the only thing regarding the Arab nations is that above everything in the universe they love their money and fame.\nThey could have taken action long ago and toned down when their father Benji threatened them.

These journalists! They act as if they are so naive, they cannot understand anything, everything began at 7th october just like big bang, there was nothing before. Out of the blue these devils attacked the land of angels!

Spot on. Moving to Canada was the worst mistake of my life. I wish that I could go back in time and get all the years and resources that I have invested into settling here... Canada has had a great PR internationally, and Canadians are too polite to complain, so I had to learn it on my own after moving. Good that the truth is finally coming out. Everything here is deteriorating FAST.

re: Toronto: Expensive-Mediocrity. Apply that to practically everything. Car centric noise and gridlock isn't mediocre though - that's top class.

Well they try to Ban everything

Why is everything so expensive?\nAnswer: money printing

Wow, it's almost as if opening the borders and turning your country into a polyglot boarding house makes everything shittier and simultaneously more expensive. \n\nIt's a controlled demolition and foreign invaders are the dynamite.

I am a Canadian, and I agree with everything that is said here.

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.

Canada is pos country trying to fleece everyone to keep its older population alive. Its very mismanaged country which poses as a great destination.. It's not. \nTaxes eat up most part of the paycheck and everything you buy is heavily taxed as well.\nIdk what they're trying to achieve here but prosperity is not something very common for Canadian new immigrants..

I am talking to my friends and family back home and they all say, you are in better condition than us, at least you are earning with dollars. Lol what? I spent with dollars too. It’s not like I earn with dollars and go back and spent with 1:20 ratio. And you are spending 2000$ flight ticket to get there which used to get it for 800$ with promotion. They are like everything is 10x more expensive. Everything is 2x more expensive but when you have high quality lifestyle the feels like is actually a lot more. Mortgage rates went up 5 times more compared to the one in covid times. That impacts who has variable mortgage or the one has fixed concerned about their renewal. That impacts on rentals because most of the owners are paying their mortgages thru these rents. You did a Good comparison on salary vs rent that will help people understand.

Honestly it sucks for Canada.. I mean this country has probably everything any country could wish for. From surface to ressources to access on both side to the two main oceans, having a border with the first world power (it can be a problem but a good thing as well) and while climate isn't always the best, it should he a paradise living there.\nAs a French with what I believe is the best and most generous medical service in the world, to think that Canada spends MORE than us and have it a lot worse is crazy.. How did they manage that? France isn't renown for its efficiency..\n\nOne thing not mentioned though in the video which I find even worse than all of that, is how Canada slowly slipped down in freedom status.. More than any other country!\nCanada lost 6 spots in a single year in the human freedom index and got kicked out of the top 10 to land at the 13th spot.. At this rate they'll be out of top 20 in the 2023 report..\nAnd we all know you can easily lose freedom, but regaining any of it is close to impossible.\nGood luck Canada and Australia, you guys are in the same boat at this point

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.

I'm planning to leave Canada in the next couple of years. There's no future here and everything is sky rocketing with little to no evidence of things getting better anytime soon or ever.

Vote for every1s money, spent it all, d es peacefully in yo sleep while everything crashs and burns around.

Everything you said is 100% true!

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

Everything runs on cycles that the west ignores. Eventually, Trudeau and his criminal gangster party will be in jail, and a new gov't built on common sense will be in power to fix all their mess. Better days coming, hold strong.

I've been here for 12 years and I'm moving to the US next month. All my friends are gone, anyone who has that possibility is leaving. Not only leaving the city but leaving Canada. It's absolute insanity how everything has collapsed over the past 3 years. You see influx of Indians everywhere because I guess they are the only ones still willing to move here.\n\nFurthemore, the unemployment and recession are mindblowing. The salaries are the same as they were 5 years ago and the cost of living doubled.

What happened to Canada is like a nightmare. We are Canadians and we left because we foresaw everything that is happening right now. Twas the saddest but probably the best decision we've ever made for our family.

I prefer cost of living over anything I live In Manitoba and I have my own house nice backyard I’m very thankful but everything is expensive but it is wat is some ppl also just got stupid spending habits I cook at home all of the time go out once a month I make my own coffee and we budget biweekly on our activities food EVERYTHING

This is bullshit to make Biden look bad, everything that's going on in this country is a setup.

The real estate cycle has finished. Timing is everything there was a time for Real estate, next 2-3 years is a very dangerous time to buy houses.

I live in Canada and Thailand... Canada is only for poor people to live, healthcare SUCK, pay is less and everything is very expensive.. Why live in a westerner lied

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.

Absolutely agree ! Everything in Canada is broken!

Like the Germans at the end of WWII Trudeau is stealing everything he can hobbling any chance of Canada recovering in the next 30 years and the BLOC and NDP are complicit in their crimes and the general public wonders why rent and food are unaffordable, welcome to the new third world Canada vote for your favorite again..... just shows that the voting age should be 25 and politicians need to be qualified intellectually with degree's other than drama majors....

I was born in Canada and I am thinking about moving to Europe. Everything is so expensive here and the politic here is another reason why I am planning to leave. That being said, you mentionned that you lived in Germany for a while. Would you recommend to live there ?

Ultimately it is overpopulation. Yes, even CANADA is overpopulated. Lol you say BUILDING is the issue! That is just a dodge. Population increase is bad for everything.

I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba.\nIt is MUCH cheaper here.\nOpportunities are abundant and it is a great place to raise children.\n\nYes it is cold, but it has everything that Toronto has BUT it is less glamorous.\n\nWe moved here from Toronto 5 years ago because Toronto and surrounding areas are a HORRIBLE place to raise children.

Odd I thought all the GOP idiots said the border was open? If so why dose it seem like they are doing everything to stop them.

My friend sold everything and migrate to Canada. But now he's bankrupt and jobless. Thought in Canada can have a better life. But he is wrong. Canadian are so hate Asian people and did a lot of discriminate stuff. Now my friend got mental health issue and divorce. In short, he's became crazy. So before migrate, think carefully. Especially in Western country. There is no democracy and justice in this countries.

it’s crazy how the government was just like ‘mm you know what would fix this issue of how empty and boring everything is? more ppl! let’s just add more ppl’ and several ppl agreed and mmmed and awwed without even considering first trying to accommodate all these new ppl. everything is money. it’s sickening. i can’t believe we are at the mercy of idiots

My family and I left Canada for Mexico a few years ago. It was the best thing we ever did and I wish we had done it sooner. Both of our families have been in Canada since before it was even a country. It was time to move on to greener pastures. We are entrepreneurs and we realised Canada is not the place for people like us. We would have lost everything had we stayed.

I'm Canadian and unfortunately everything in this video is accurately portrayed. The province in which I reside doesn't have it as bad as the ones mentionned in this video, and I can confirm that housing is still somewhat very affordable in a lot of areas if you don't mind a long-ish commute to the city when you have business there.\n\nStaying in a more rural area is fortunately a very valid option for tons of people as a lot of employers adopted telework permanently following the pandemic, but yeah essentially if you wanna live in an urban centre, good luck!

I remember we had one chapter about canada in our school text book, literally praising everything about this country

High prices for everything have severely affected my plan. I'm concerned if people who went through the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am having now. The stock market is worrying me as my income has decreased, and I fear I won't have enough savings for retirement since I can't contribute as much as before.

Wow! I’m Canadian born and just came across this. 100%. Totally agree. Great review. Things are definitely broken here, slowly deteriorating for the past 20 years, but especially escalated since Trudeau in 2015, and the BS and lies and propaganda since the start of COVID. This country is deteriorating as a direct consequence of our fascist government and broken institutions. Don’t know where this goes, but we are definitely a nation in decline, and the takeover of government by corporate interests and corrupt politics is the reason why. We do not live in a democracy. Don’t let anybody tell you we do. Everything is a lie, and people are figuring it out and no longer wish to participate in a society that has become hostile towards the middle class. The entire system is a pyramid scheme, and the Jenga blocks are crumbling.

Reason number 10 you should've added is Culture. Many immigrants that come here do not get used to the Canadian culture and get homesickness, especially if they leave family behind. And especially for Asian and Middle Eastern people, Culture and Family is everything, so they go back to their home country for that. Now, especially with this LGBTQ+ agenda in schools and Liberal influence, many immigrant parents are not happy about it, and that's why they leave Canada. So Culture is such an important factor, which I think should've been the 2nd biggest factor after the 1st factor being the high cost of living.

Please dwelve deeper into that!! the lack of civil liberties and freedom of speech, for example. This is a socialist and quasi-communist country...The wokeism has taken place and that's no longer a family-friendly country. That's the core of everything
