There is no fine anymore . That was the individual mandate for the affordable care act. If you make less than about 48k in the us you can get your Health insurance subsidy. If you make like 35k your insurance will only be about 77$ a month.

Hello, I just watched your video. Three years after you made it. I hope you are still with us and a very belated Welcome. Many people throughout the world seem to have so many stereotypes about Americans. Whether it is good or bad there typically is some truth in a stereotype. Overall it seems like you are enjoying yourself and no matter what there is no place like home. I would think no matter what your current situation is you still miss Canada as I would miss the United States if I were to move to Canada. \nA couple things you mentioned in the video were not correct and as with anything there may be a little truth in the matter but yet still incorrect.\nThose who do not have health insurance are not charged or taxed $150 monthly. There is a provision in the affordable care act (ACA) that penalizes certain individuals who make above a certain dollar amount. The amount is either $150 or $300 for the entire year. I concur any monetary penalty against anyone for not having health insurance is outrageous. I could be wrong but I believe this aspect of the ACA was never implemented under President Obama and it was indefinitely suspended or revoked by President Trump. I also feel like I need to address your thoughts about the United States all about war. I believe the American people are like most other people and want peace and civility. The government and major defense contractors have differing opinions at times. Of course there is plenty of people who are war hawks but they are in the minority. Most of us are absolutely sick of war. We currently have been at war for almost 19 years. That's six complete world war 2's in their entirety. \nI think you were being awfully generous when you said obesity is on par with the rest of the world!! Unfortunately there is far to many fat people here and the problem is only getting worse because the media says be happy and proud you are fat. Celebrating obesity is absolutely insane and it sends the wrong message to young people. If a close one is fat of course I love them but I also tell them privately that they are a walking heart attack. It's more than OK to accept someone the way they are but as a friend or family member you doing them a disservice by not mentioning their obesity. \nI'm sorry if you feel I'm being to harsh or critical. I think it is a wonderful thing to share the world's longest border with such a great nation as Canada. I have always thought Canada was like the United States fraternal brother or sister. We are very much alike with a few beautiful differences that distinguishes from one another. It doesn't appear that you upload videos hear anymore but I hope you get the opportunity to read this. Thank you for coming to the United States and I love all my canadian brothers and sisters. Take care.

While I am daily trying to pass the English test to be eligible for getting Canadian PR, these people just pay money and get PR easily. Even I knew a lot of foreign students are paying money for faked marriage to become Canadian citizen, what a shame on that. I can afford that money but I never want to break the rule. Please prove that Canada government has created fair and equal immigration system for all people.

how in the hell do they afford to live in London?

Instead of spending money on a car that she likely can't afford, she should trade it in for a gym membership and meal plans. Maybe fix herself up a bit, get her hair done. Some self care would do her good and make her feel less miserable about herself and that way she won't have to take it out on others. I truly don't understand how people can let themselves go so much! Have some self respect and self worth!

He should easily win the JERK of the Year Award, it is a shame what he has done to Canada, another 4 years and we will be totally decimated. Wake up Canada vote to get rid of him and his cronies, remember another 4 years we cannot afford.

Our Grandkids won't be able to afford a 1bdrm apt for a family of 5, if we continue to ignore this

I'll move to the West, wear a Scarf and I'll be a better Muslim!!!! Why not move to Saudi Arabia the Land of Mohamed?? Of course they don't give free Houses,Benefits and Medical Care, in the middle east we can afford one Wife here in the West you buy us 4 and 2+ Homes and here in Canada I can buy a Gun with full face covering.

nice iphone; I don't even own a cellphone or can afford one....poor pity you...NOT.

Becoming a Canadian Citizen with a translator...this is epic. The result of “proud to have no identity” of the Trudeau utopic, leftist terror Government. Canadians not being able to afford Vancouver because of illegal communist money being poured in the Canadian economy. How to you “compete” with that? Working at Canadian Tire? But hey...ban all guns to keep us safe. I am an European immigrant who once respected Canada, I am dreaming of the Land of the Free now.

Y’all more worried about these Illegals, which I understand to some extent, but I’m worried about if I can even afford a house. Take care of your own, before everything else

The problem is the government didn't know how to make enough money in the country...... That's why they want more other people to do investment or have business in Canada in order to bring more money into the country. The fact is the social welfare is too good that government might not be able to afford that big spending. First, Government needs to know how to make money on their own, not depending rich immigrants. Second, encourage citizens to have baby by providing benefits for them, to boost the birth rate. Third, stop being so nice to refugee, stop importing refugee! The biggest problem of refugee is they don't make money to the country, they rely on social welfare heavily.

They came to Canada to invest in the housing market. Many owners of houses and condos in Toronto/Richmond Hill and other areas live in China and pay managers to rent their property and take care of the money for them. China requested Canada to hand over Chinese citizens who took illegal sums of Chinese funds out of China but Canada refused due to the harsh Chinese sentences for that crime. Wealthy Chinese are laundering Billions of funds in the Canadian housing market and other investments. Although there are many other reasons for the Canadian housing bubble the fact remains that many young people and families residing in Canada can’t afford the inflated housing prices. Many Chinese come to Canada for their holidays, and one reason I know when they arrive is because my doctor is Chinese and every spring the office is packed with Chinese people who come to get their annual free check up, they all have Canadian citizenship and health cards too.

CBC Trudeau obsequious news. Why would we believe them ? ... oh, it's just a wee thing that affordable housing might be an issue (in a very cold Country) and Provinces are paid back by some quota... we know how the Liberals pay back (chump change) .. and oh, these immigrants are going to make Canada more prosperous... No mention of the Globalist agenda .. Trudeau is a BIG GLOBALIST ... taking over these immigrant's Countries is part of the plan

This is a pretty misleading video.\nYes, our minimum wage went up to $14/h compared to the rest of Canada, however keep in mind it had to accommodate to the cost of living. You're lucky if you can even find a LEGAL small 1 bedroom basement for $800/month. Its not common. \nA car? Brampton has the highest insurance premium in all of Canada. \n\nDon't get me wrong. I LOVE Canada, I couldn't see myself living anywhere else because it is my home. \nHowever, when you compare it to india, in India you're only paying for electricity, gas, and food that you need to buy at the grocery store. \nBut if you really needed to budget and save money, food is LITERALLY growing in your backyard! All the veggies, fruits, etc. You just need to buy the grains and proteins! \n1.5 lakhs sounds great per month. But 1.5 lakhs is realistically not enough to live in Canada. \n\nDon't believe me? Google cost of living in Canada. Google how much a family of 4 would need to make to survive per month in Canada. Also, make sure to check out CANADIAN WEBSITES for this data. (.ca sites or try Global News or CTV news since they have this data)\n\nThe problem is everyone that comes to Canada always comes only to one area which is usually Toronto! However this makes the cost of living go up to accommodate this many people. Compared to Regina, or St. John's not many people immigrate there! It is a smaller city compared to Toronto but at least it's more affordable.\nDo you're research before coming here. Find out whats the best situation for YOUR FAMILY and what YOU can afford. \nCanada is a beautiful place, and yes, Brampton does have a lot of the Punjab culture, but don't be fooled. Be prepared when you come to Canada so you don't have such set backs once here. \n\nHope this helps!!

I don’t even recognize the country anymore..my children will never afford a house.

This is the worst leader my country has ever had. Canadians needs are being ignored while he hands our sovereignty over to the globalist adgenda. Treats terrorists better than the guys like me who pay his salary. We've got people who can't afford homes living in the cold streets and he puts criminals in the Hilton at our expense.

Sorry. . BUT I don’t feel sorry at all for them. I’m Mexican. And the fact that they had all this money and I’m guessing the wife has free time to self care and watch the kids she could’ve atleast learned to speak English. They don’t seem to be in desperate need!! These are the typical CENTRAL AMERICAN. They seek asylum but yet have money to wear and buy things ‘poor people’ can’t afford. The lady is plumped with her dyed and make up done while the kids are fashionable and look at the car. It’s not new but that vehicle kills gas like crazy. So no!!! I don’t feel bad!

Nice Video but such misleading comments by people. No you cant afford everything with the minimum wage. People here are doing 2 jobs a day. Only skilled resources make good money, but they dont want to put in the same effort in India. I am in Canada too, making good. Money but did not like the misleading comments displayed in this video.\n\nIf you did your masters properly i am sure you can make good money in India. Yeah if you did it with jugaad from an unrecognized university then i can't tell. I know of people who attended college/University programs in Toronto and still can't get good jobs. So if you were paid 5000 after your masters then there is something you didn't tell us about masters in this video.\n\nAgain another comment in the video is that guy mentions of you making only 10000, that's if you are working on a low profile clerical job, but if you are qualified, hard working then surely you can achieve a lot there too... I started with 8k INR but thats not where i am today. And $14/hr doesn't give you your house, car and all you mentioned in the video. \n\nI know for people from certain areas in India, its all about how they can make it to Canada by Hook or Crook and this video just motivates them. \n\nI am not here to say India is better than Canada or any form of comparison, every country has its baggage and so does India. Its is about what you can do with the resources you have.

Often immigrants come here with family and we don’t have much money saved so can’t afford to go back to school so construction is a good way to go, I came almost 4 yrs ago and i started with a steel and stud company starting with 20/hr now from the last two yrs working as a Plant Operator with INLAND CONCRETE making 34/hr with union... Calgary is the place to be if you’re willing to do what it takes and improve your resume as much as you can..

Driving a pretty nice car, and having the luxury of putting out a cigarette in front of a pretty popular Canadian bar..... ummm.... your problem is? I can't afford either of those things and I've paid taxes in this country my whole life. Save your tears, save your rhetoric and stop using your children to garner sympathy.

over seven billion people in the world, just under thirty six million of them in canada, do the math, we just can't afford to take in everybody.

Maybe not have 2 kids and a wife to take care of if you can't afford it

just embrassing for me i,m 54 and i lived in the united states all of my life, third generation. and this cat has a better phone than my cheap flip phone and hes still able to afford thousands on a lawyer. and live away from his wife and kidds&.taking abreak from his pool game outside the bar gees.

Glad it was denied. He seems to be able to afford rent, a vehicle, $15 000 in legal fees...

so...I don't get it...if you love Islam, and it's practices, why would you leave your islamic country of origin? You all are lucky that you have the freedom to wear what you want in Canada or America...Western women would be forbidden to wear shorts or capri pants in your country...why should we understand your dress code with empathy, but not be afforded the same in your part of the world?

This is the most biased Canadian propaganda I've ever heard. I was standing in line at city hall in Calgary (paying my past due power bill which I can barely afford, even though I make 40k a year.) and watched a flood of immigrants in front of me claiming their 100% free bus passes. Apparently, you need an authorisation letter from welfare to claim your free bus pass, yet, none of them seemed to have documentation that matched their id. One guy picked up six free bus passes with a stack of letters that didn't match his name, or, even surname, at all. The cashiers seemed like they had just given up and handed over the bus passes saying, "next time make sure the person named in the letter is here to pick it up in their free pass person." <sigh>

*STOP PUTTING THIS GUY ON TO SPEAK FOR US, HE IS AN ABSOLUTE JOKE AND LIBERAL SHILL!!!* \n\nHE HAS TO STOP STOP SAYING WE HAVE A LOT OF ROOM UP HERE, HAS THIS IDIOT EVER LOOKED AT A MAP?!! LOOK WHERE WE LIVE - *A THIN LINE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE COUNTRY* WHERE 35 MILLION CANADIANS ARE HAVING TROUBLE KEEPING UP WITH HOUSING LET ALONE *AFFORDABLE HOUSING*\n\nIF THESE PPL WANT TO LIVE IN TENTS IN THE NORTH, FLY AT IT, BUT THE REASON TRUDEAUS FIRST LIE QHEN HE TOOK OFFICE, KNOWN AS THE *REFUGEE RUSH* WHERE HE USED LIES AND PROPAGANDA TO CONVINCE US TO RESCUE 35.000 SYRIANS FROM HORRIFIC REFUGEE CAMPS.... THAT LATER TURNED OUT TO BE AN *ABSOLUTE LIE* . THESE PEOPLE HAD ALREADY BEEN RESETTLED IN SAFE COUNTRIES FOR YEARS AND HAD JOBS, KIDS IN SCHOOL, AMONG THEIR OWN LANGUAGE AND RELIGION. \nThat was the 1st lie of 3 YEARS OF LIES, EMBARRASSMENT AND DESTRUCTION OF THIS COUNTRY BY A RADICAL ELITIST LEFTIST ISLAMIST APOLOGIST COMMUNISM PUSHING DICTATOR. IMAGINE FORCING ISIS INTO COMMUNITIES WHILE QITH THE OTHER HAND THROWING TAX DOLLARS TO PAY YHR MILITARY TO RISK THEIR LIVES AND FIGHT THEM IN OTHER COUNTRIES - WHO EXACTLY IS THE ENEMY? CANADIANS? AMERICA? \n\nNOW WE LEARN FROM LEAKED BORDER SERVICES DOCUMENTS THAT HES BARELY VETTED ANY!!! AFTER TELLING US THE STRICT VETTING IS WHY WE DONT HAVE TO WORRY??!!!\n\nWHY IS HE STACKING THEM UP AND SUPPORTING THEM IN MY COUNTRY?? \n\nTHIA IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF THE DAMAGE THIS DICTATORSHIP IS DOING . \n*AMERICANS , DONT BELIEVE FOR ONE SECOND BELIEVE CANADIANS ARE BEHIND HIM, LIKE YOUR DEMOCRAT PARTY, MAINSTEAM MEDIA AND CLINTON SYCOPHANTS ... ITS ALL LIES*

Why regret? Just go back where you came from. When don't have much spare money to afford another hotel room anyway.

Thank You, for leaving. Do not come back to U.S. Stay in the country you are born in until you can afford to travel on your own dime. Get out of my pocket and tax dollars.

Have fun coming to travel to toronto in august and september. There wont be any affordable hotel rooms available as theyll all be occupied with these opportunistic people who just decided to walk in our country illegally and youll be left to paying WAY MORE $$$$ for expensive hotel rooms, if you can even find one. Trudeau doesnt give a s**t about canadian travelers, or americans. He just cares about foreigners. He did the same thing 2 years ago. He threw out regular hotel guests and travelers to make room for 35000 syrian refugees to house them in hotels for 6 months at a whopping cost of M$$$ us the taxpayers. Canadians/americans be damned. \n\nPiece of S**t

I can't even afford my house and he wants to put them in a HOTEL? TAKE CARE OF OUR PEOPLE FIRST. this has gone way to far

If your getting 5k after post grad in Indian then there is seriously something wrong with you and your learning abilities... best of luck to Canada for affording you...

You can't afford good life in 3000$ there too if you paying 5$ for ganne ka juice. Lol what type of logic he have.

I can't afford a hotel room if I want to go for a short trip just for a change to get away for a rest from my job and boring everyday life. Trudeau is giving a hotel room for people who never worked a day in Canada. You watch me figure how I'm gonna figure out to cheat every tax dollar I can. I hope everyone should do the same.

Lol lots of citizens cant afford a hotel room but non citizens can live there.

If Trudumb gets re-elected in the coming year, the Canadians deserve what they get. Many Canadian people can't afford good food, clothing and utilities and Trudumb is suggesting laviously treating illegals to free Hotel Rooms, room service, saunas, hot tubs and don't forget the free cell phone! WTH is going on?

Please keep your uninsightful comments to yourselves. For some reason Americans feel it is their right to critique other countries that they are not in agreement with. We hear you but simply don't listen to you. Here's a simple fact you may be able to wrap your minds around. The world has changed. You cannot simply pick a time out of history and say that you want to go back to the way things were some 70 years ago. A despot has decided to ethnically cleanse his country ... for seven years that i, and as such human beings by nature are of the mindset they'd prefer to live and try to seek a better life for themselves and their families. But you don't focus on that fact. You focus on the nickels and dimes being spent on accommodation. We get it, you don't like people putting a burden on your system. The USA... wealthiest nation on the earth would prefer to not allow migrants into their county. You could afford to open up your country but are fearful of the financial burden and I have seen some Americans question why these illegals are getting free food and education on our dime. Consider an investment in your future. In 50 years the amount of money spent on these migrants fleeing from desperate situations is a paltry sum Mr Scrooge. BUT if one of those people makes a dramatic difference to your country then think how far ahead you will be. \nThe alternative is to send back the refugees or illegals and wish them well. That would be a catastrophic waste of potential life. So are you really worried about hotel costs in the grand scheme of things. Are your really? Pitiful.

TRUDEAU IS A PIECE OF SHIT AND SHOULD ASK HIS BEST FRIEND BARRY THE FRAUD AND GEORGE SOROS TO FOOT THE BILL. MOST CANADIAN CANNOT AFFORD TO STAY IN A HOTEL..... WHAT THE HELL IS HE THINKING? TRUDEAU MUST BE STOPPED ASAP!

He put his early migrants in hotels. It cost us a fortune and we have NEVER yet been told what it cost us!! I wonder how much Trudeau thinks we can afford before we get really annoyed. This man has turned out to be the worst things for Canada since PET.

Now I found a good way to afford to travel to Canada. I was saving some money for the trip, but it seems like I can get a free hotel room for the week. I just hope it comes with free room services. I just feel bad for tax payers. Craziness!!!!

nothing to sympathize about this story as is what it seeks when our country can not afford those who illegally migrate here as this statement I raise is clearly speaking for and needless taking to excuse the truthful facts for what the reality greater stands for reasoning with as it is for the cause even as I to welcome all raises regardless of were they arrive here as from yet only as by the means to apply for legal refugee status as anyone with common sense would see reason to deny entry into Canada as the wiser point being there is a great difference as who is properly vetted are those who do legally apply therefore I do show reason to empathise yet never to fear who are legally entitled to live in Canada without such our legitimate Canadians having the reason for causes to fear and there are no exceptions as excuses as reasons to have cause to fear are endless and were as the truth is our country is letting them in as Justin Trudeau is doing and not as this video is telling the truth as fake as I in my city in Canada and as others are being over run by Justin Trudeaus Illegal immigration movement and that is fact backed with prof all as seeing is believing and who can find reason to speak much less as think of it otherwise then what is a truthful fact best afford the flight fares to send them all back to their countries as they first came from not to USA but their own homelands to keep up with our greater relations with the USA as Canada cant afford to let our misleader Trudeau cripple our countries economy any further then his plans for those he is serving his globalist partners and their evil plan for a new world order as are the real intentions as his plans been exposed in attempt to shape Canada into their own image and it is the Canadian poor a are recognising this while those without time to invest as preoccupied by their senseless demand seeing to their time as is money dismiss their cause to get informed afford their time show of an interest those are of poorly minding excusers of the cause taking to worth held above sense of values as most are those of the ignorant people who voted for Justin Trudeau as it is a majority government after all that stands for a lot of brain washed deceived fools and it only goes to show how much of them as they are total libtards

the guy at 3:06 is just bull shitting. You cant survive making minimum wages here. I could see an Audi Q5 standing outside the guy's house, do you thing you can afford that car by making minimum wages?

In America if you can’t afford your premium you can apply to have it payed for. I’ve done it before

Seems like a devoted Dad and a willing worker...but if he had the money, why not enter the U.S. legally? Sounds like he could have afforded it, and the wait is just as long in Canada, with no guarantee. These people from Mexico and Central America should take the steps to immigrate legally. People do it every year.

is that his car he's driving? man i am a legal cetizen in america\nand cant barely afford to drive a car like yours!

You know that born Canadians can't afford a family and they don't cry in the public about it to grab Canadians tax savings to get to afford their families in Canada... So that their families can fight Canadians on the work market...

Go home and stay there. The USA and Canada can not take in these people, we can not afford it.

LOL This thug lookin schemer just had 15k lying around to throw at some lawyer fees and he can't afford to take care of his family???
