Nor one child has diedb guns here in Canada, yet the Catholic Church here did damage enough.

In 2017 I was hiking on the Pacific Crest Trail in southern California at a group campsite at mile 454 and a large group of us long distance hikers were gathered around a campfire. One person asked everyone to say what is your favorite thing about the trail so far. Some said scenery, others said meeting new people, fellowship, challenge etc. Then one young woman said there are no Ni--ers on the trail. My brain rattled! How could someone walk 454 miles through desert, forest and snow topped mountains and come up with that? Then what shook me even more was not just the muted agreement with that, why are there are so many foreigners here? They did not know that I was Canadian. Most of them were young, recent college graduates.

Good one.....Yes everyone must understand that life here is completely different.....climatically.....socially.....financially ! \nIt's a massive change !\nCanada is extremely beautiful.....but very expensive !\nEven if the children are earning very well.... it's certainly not great depending on others !

I live just outside of Montreal, pretty near the border. One of my good friends used to live in Vermont, right near the border and we would visit each other several times a year. She moved to Tennessee, and I flew down to visit her a few years ago (haven't been down since COVID) while Trump was still president and I'm not even joking when I say that as soon as I left Nashville I was highly anxious 100% of my time there. And I'm white, I'm not a visible minority, I suppose if I kept my mouth shut nobody could tell I'm not from there, it really hit me how sad it is that I even felt that. All these patriotic gun toting Americans I feared would shoot me for whatever reason they could come up with. I understand that that's not ACTUALLY likely, I was glad I left my husband and children at home, and while I enjoyed my weekend there I couldn't WAIT to get back home. New England was easier to handle, but I'm not cut out for the openly racist, homophobic, anti women's rights, you name it kind of discussions. I was horrified that not only do people ACTUALLY think like this, but those who are being oppressed, or those who simply support those being oppressed are having to keep quiet for fear of being murdered because of this. Nashville was really cool, I loved it, but I truly feared for my safety outside of the city, despite being a straight white woman. I can't imagine what it's like for the minorities, it's so sad. I think you hit the nail on the head when you said that you're just numb to it, because being on the outside looking in, it's hard to believe what's actually going on, it looks as though the country is regressing,

I would not consider moving to the states for any reason, but my reason at this point is that I’m terminally ill and disabled and I can’t even get travel insurance to be able to visit my family there. My mother’s family are all Americans. I had a lot of fun visiting them in my late teens, back in the early 90’s but now I wouldn’t even drive across the border to go shopping. Well, I do go across the border to Alaska, because that’s just an hour away, but Alaska is very different from the continental United States. And I only go to Skagway for the afternoon to get fish and chips. I welcome Americans to Canada with open arms, but I have zero desire to ever live or visit there. One at a time, on my terms, in my country, Americans are great, but your nation is falling apart at the seams. I don’t feel safe there at all.

When you say school shootings aren't that bad / don't happen every day you really have been conditioned not take it seriously.\n\nLook up the stats, the US has had HUNDREDS of school shootings over the last 10 years, where as the next worst country has had single digits, and Canada has had about 2.\n\nHint, there is only ONE country that I know of that has active shooter drills.

In Canada you can be the poorest of the poor and get the same health care as almost everyone else. The very rich can choose to travel to get treatment elsewhere. No one in Canada is ever denied healthcare. We do have to pay for ambulances but there is goverment assistance for that. We do have to pay for medication but you can buy reasonablle copay policies for that. GO CANADA GO?

You have more than one mass shooting a day. No thanks.

As a middle aged, single white guy with no children, making an average wage in Canada... you couldn't even pay me double to move to the US. Even during my one week visiting Vegas and San Diego, I always had an uneasy feeling that anything could happen at any time. But yeah, throw in the health care, political and other issues... pass.

No way would I want to live down there. Dat place is crazy, dirty, and dangerous. Half the country hates everyone else, or so it seems. Given that your crazies have such easy access to guns, I think it is one of the last north western countries I would live in. \nAlso, the fact that the number one cause of personal bankruptcies in The US, is medical expenses. It is a country where a couple of stitches can cost you a thousand bucks and where insurance companies decide what treatments are available to you.\nI think it would be a terrible place to live, especially with a family.

Builders cant cut corners. I did a full construction class in college and theres something called a building code book. If you are caught by an inspwector while you were not respecting the building code book, you not only lose you license but also have to pay thousands or milliins of dollars. Its very strict. The building code book is as thick as a dictionary and larger. Because there are some many rules, builders often end up making just one design and build a thousand houses identical to it.

America is a beautiful country to look at, and I'm sure there are lots of beautiful people, but the arrogance of some of them is mind blowing. I recently watched the news footage of 911, I cried all the way through that, first out of compassion and next out of frustration. When people were jumping out of those towers, George Dubya was making a statement that terrorism would not stand in America. What did he think was standing in his face. The terrorists won that day. Then when they got Bin Laden He stands up and says we got him . Big deal you got one person , when there are dozens to take his place. No mention of other countries that helped them. , they have taken full credit for every war that ever happened. They wonder why the rest of the world hates that country. The sad thing is that 911 didn't teach them a thing. They brag about how they lost 3000 people and other countries only lost a few to terrorism. How sad that they think that way. You had a great president in Obama, but you have that 2 term rule and have been going downhill ever since. And our Canada's Prime minister is certainly nothing to be proud of. Politically he's no threat to anybody, but his own country. Mostly he is an immoral threat to his own country. But that's another vent for another day. I still pray every day for the world and that includes America, but I can't imagine what it will take to break them of that arrogance.

Went to university is the midwest and DC and have traveled in every state so I know a lot about the US. Now I fear for my nephews in an Atlanta school. Gun violence is out of control. No one goes broke from hospital bills in Canada. Nice to visit (most places anyway) but no thanks to living in the US. Mexico, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines all look good for retirement.

As a 61-year-old Canadian... not a chance. Nope... we have Tim Hortons for one, freedom, we are generally nicer, we have fewer guns, and we do not put religion first.

I lived in MA for 17 years. I liked it and have many friends from there. I would go back, but yes, the healthcare would stop me. Getting older, needing more medical intervention. Not having to worry about healthcare costs is easy. I also said that the US was one step away from being behind the iron curtain. There is not the same freedoms there as there is here in Canada. The media controls the nation. Too much news. Not so here.\n\nWhile in Florida recently, my friends granddaughter was in a mall hiding from an active shooter. She was calm, I was hysterical.

You look a little sad ? I get it. You're proud of your country. \n\nAs a Canadian, I always felt the difference in basic attitudes between our countries may stem from our history of gaining national independence.\n\nYou all fought tooth and nail and are still immensely proud of that accomplishment. \n\nWe negotiated over time. It stands to reason our society would develop into one more invested in peace and negotiation, and even a deeper sense of social responsibility to our fellow citizens' welfare.\n\nI know of many different reasons why I love your country, enjoy visiting, and am glad we are neighbours. But to live in the US would take a change in my deeply ingrained sense of identity that I'm not willing to give up. \n\nI think you'll find even the Americans who joke about moving to Canada woukd find it similarly difficult to change their feelings. \n\nThank you for your interesting and respectful content. I always look forward to watching you.

hello, Canadian here. i believe that ( personally ) if Canada had the same freedom for weapons as the USA, things wouldn't go as bad as the USA. or wouldn't change at all. the main problem, which americans at large still refuses to admit it seems, or at least the loudest ones, is that it's a culture problem, not a gun problem. the whole of USA culturally is kinda rotten with way more chances for someone to just crack and go nuts, or commit a shitty act out of desperation, anything. while in Canada, we have people and gorups to help take care of this. we do not bankrupt people by making them seek help at hospital, and so on. the whole socio-economic of the USA is to blame for this. \n\nin my humble, basement dwelling person opinion as someone who thought about this subject for a while.

I wouldn’t move to the US and the medical is only the second reason my number one reason is your lack of freedom. For instance I have always had cats, at this moment I have three cats who are my pride and joy, two of them even go out for walks with me in a pet stroller and even came with me yesterday to the Scottish festival in my neighbourhood and the problem with moving to the US is Landlords can tell you that you have to get rid of your pets were here in Canada, in my part of Canada anyway it is going against your rights to tell you you can’t have your pet and there is no way in hell I would get rid of my cats they are my family and my only family so because of that I would not move to the United States

There’s many countries I’d consider but the US isn’t one.

You know what I hate about Canada? One half speak French , the other half let them.

I'm Listening in From Kuwait ??. Big Up Brother. Your the Realest I've Ever Seen On YouTube! One Love Brother??. Peace ✌️

Plz Mendoza your one of us let us in

Please can you make a video of what to pack to Canada such as groceries,clothings,Foodstuffs,Footwear as well as gadgets such as adaptor,because I heard the socket used in Canada is different from the ones used in Africa so therefore you have to take a certain type of international travel Adaptor when traveling to Canada

One should be capable of violence and it should be rightous.

No one would cross the Russian border like that they would all be shot. Only the enemy Wood Cross illegally. How easy would it be for the Taliban or isis to attack from a unprotected border?

Askm \nI am a Human Resource Professional, my Master’s Degree is from Australia and have 9 year industry experience. I have obtained the visit Visa and will be coming alone to Canada in couple of months. Need clarity on few issues. \nI will be bringing expenses money for 6 months, more funds will be arranged if required. My target provinces are Saskatchewan, Manitoba and New Brunswick. I am confident that I will secure a LMIA approved job in HR and hence a legit Work permit. \nCan the work permit holder invite his spouse and children ? \nDoes the whole family have free education and health care? \nBut one must have alternate solution. If I don’t get a job in my occupation, I will be forced to work as a farmer or a laborer or any other low skilled occupation and get a work permit for that job. My technical question is once I have worked as a farmer/laborer for a year, I will have to apply for the PR under PNP. Will my 1 year work experience as a farmer/laborer have a negative impact, since my qualification is in business Management (HR) ?

This is one of the most genuine videos I’ve watched, I have told people over and over, think about the school route before thinking about work cos our black and brown people are corrupt and would wanna profit off you before giving you the opportunity that they never paid for, great video

When A General Class Train Ticket,?\n Upgraded to Flight one ! !..✈️

Everybody knows why this is happening why do you ask such ridiculous questions Joe Biden wants this to happen my orcas wants it to happen he's a complete disaster he acts like he doesn't have a clue he doesn't even know what the armbands are they asked him last week one of these armbands that all these Mexicans are wearing across the border I don't know he's completely incompetent the whole group needs to go there just totally incompetent all the way and their bum rushing our border Millions at a time this is going to cause problems for 20 years

Brother I like you.. You're such a positive person and helping in so many ways to our people. You also have a great personality and impeccable passion to what you talk about or advice to people. Please ?, keep sharing these types of information. Am living here in Kansas City, United States. I have been trying for my brother to visit and even try school and they have been denied visa. But now am in the process of filing for my mom to come as a permanent resident. Am even thinking about helping one of my brothers to go to school in Canada with a student visa after watching your video. Am very pleased to come across your videos. Infact, I find myself watching your videos 2 to 3 am in morning. So please again, keep up the great work You're doing, you're very good.

One of the best podcast

One of the best podcast….very natural, practical…inspiring.. I shared it with friends and family who hasn’t subscribed it yet.. plz Harmeet keep doing it and bring more podcasts.. one suggestion instead of making one video of more than an hour you can make episodes (1 or 2) but honestly you ask very good question so we can listen it for more and more longer time.. all the best ????

hi good good evening dear what if one of your family member living already in Canada with a Canadian citizen make you your passport and visa

Good content, what if one has already paid tuition deposit and plans to pay the fees once reaching the school to register for the courses.

I came here myself with a private college and currently I have been admitted into one of the best public universities in Toronto. It’s all about tactics and strategy. \n\nFeel you chorkor ❤

Which one is letter of introduction please

knife is a weapon and should not be carried like this by anyone...irrespective of the religious faith one follows.

CONTEXT: FIGHT was between Brut India's owner's daughter and one other family. She misbehaved with the family sitting in the row in front of her. And soon things got out of hand. She was later deboarded. Shame on you Brut India.

Send them back, they dont even want to work. I met two peruvians and two venezuelan 7 months after they entered u.s at one of my jobs and they're already complaining about how they're not getting paid enough and how the work is hard. Im like but u dont even know how to work ???

Sir mujhey aapki mother in law ki koyi bhi baat Bilkul theek nahi lagi jaise ki yanha vegetables aur restaurant main food theek nahi milata kiyonki main bhi India se aapni beti ke pass aayi hoon . Covid time main one year yanhi rahi aur aajkal bhi five months ho gaye hain per yanha restaurants main hum sab jagah gaye har cuisine ka khana khaya bahut acha food milata hai. \n\nAur yanha maan laganey ki baat hai to jo mohalla type ki aadat waley hotey hain aur falatu baateyn karane ka hi shok hota hai ki kisi se bhi aatey jatey baat karlein vo hi pareshan hotey hain nahi to humey to yanha bhi bahut acha lagata aur vanha bhi . Aapki mother in law shayad yahan par free Dhaniya ki talash main hai.. LOL \n\nMain delhi born brought up hoon aur bahut bada mera friend circle hai delhi main per humey falatu bahar Khadey ho kar baat karane ki adat nahi hai . Delhi to rahine Layak hi nahi rahi hai yanha to life bahut achi hai is main koyi shak nahi . Meri bhi tabiyat bahut kharab huyi per sab test aur CT sab jaladi hi ho gaye koyi mushkil nahi huyi. \n\nSo, I will request you to stop dissuading people who are aspiring to come to Canada with such baseless points.

One word for these muslims, go back to your bullshit country and keep your sharia law there.

Why were they fighting ? ? And Who was the one in the wrong ?!?!??? Someone Please Explain Lmao ?

Am not afraid of the future. Let's cross first to Canada before anything . And do not be discouraged or afraid ok. Their is other petty petty job like cleaner and farming one can use to start first.\nEven Chorkor himself did start with silver or golden spoon when he gets to Canada first.

Same here as i m in Jercy City ..we came here in April 23 to meet my Son n daughter in law..\nAll good bt son n daughter in-law both are wrking bt we are feeling ki thoda din rehna tau thik he bt living longer time tough as no frnds no relatives.. every body busy in their life bt one thing i want to say people are very helpful ,civilized, clean atmosphere no pollution ,no dikhawa no body will interfere in our life n so on .

I have across most of the comments here, every one confirms what EBM scholars is ssying in this video. One things we should know is that ;they is no coin without it reverse side . I can't wait to move from Dxb to US next year ?

Only one pig was harmed during the making of this film.

Woow . this is very very information. the visitor visa is very catchy since it seems like the easy way to move, but One need to be really really careful and calculate the risks involved just like you mentioned. \n\nThank you Sir for this informative video.

What about single women with 2 child and one of autistic boy can leave good life

I will say in one part: you are very very right. \n\nIn another part, you’re looking for a lifestyle that’s more catered to how you view the world and your wants/needs. \n\nVancouver is gorgeous. And, many cities in Europe (even though they’re historically beautiful) do not compare to Vancouver. It’s different. East Van has a lot of character.\n\nBut you’re a pioneer of pointing out many truths and you won’t be the last guy that talks about it. This hustle, restless culture and sans community in Canada is both sad and also good and motivating to develop into something worthwhile. While in Europe I feel this distaste and misery for anything that has ambition to gather wealth.
