Homeless situation up here in Canada is incredibly out of hand. Tent cities everywhere except the upper class policed communities as per usual. They vote em in then throw em at the working class communities to deal with.\n I was out for the first time in my boat yesterday, and cruised past 2 homeless tent communities on the shoreline of Hamilton Ont. I was only on the water for an hour so I'm sure there are more.

In some city's it's starting to get as bad as where some of these people came from. The murder rate in my city has gone up four hundred percent. Our country is in trouble

They know now that there is refuge cities. Chicago, Portland, Seattle, the twin cities and that's just a few . If they make it there they won't be deported. Now I work as a cook and cannot get a raise because of this. As a matter of a fact I feel they want to let me go because the back of the house is all Mexican and southern Americans and they use stolen SSN to obtain jobs

Vancouver is disgusting. I'm counting down until I can leave. There's nothing good about this city, oh yeah mountains as if they don't exist anywhere else, transit sucks, the weather sucks, the people are selfish and unfriendly, it's hyperexpensive and there's no work.

This is so terrible we had a nice country 10 yrs ago. Now we're a slob city!

US FOREIGN POLICY is the reason for mass entrance of immigrants COMING to the same country THATS IS RESPONSIBLE for the hardship of US FAILED CONTAINMENT POLICY in Central & Latin America! don’t forget the savings and loan scandal of the 1980s in which Ronald Reagan‘s CIA and Oliver North took out loans and banks all over the United States for their illegal war in central America! Bush was already in charge of the Central intelligence agency at that time because of his father Prescott Bush, the Nazi banker put the skull and bones, chapter of Harvard University in charge of the CIA HR & recruiting! Does Central intelligence agency is operating within the United States right now? Oliver campus is recruiting agents to operate them later on within the US in the press in the city, government and state government local government and of course the US Congress.

Medicare sucks! Even as a privileged white person having just moved cities not province and after 3 years and 2 cancers I still don't have access to a family doctor. Forget about any tests or diagnoses because you are told you need to have a family doctor to have access. People die of curable diseases here more than in many other developed countries. Can you see how they control medical expenses we pay for in Canada?

This is pure lawlessness entering.\nYou might as well open the doors & cages of every zoo and let all the animals run freely throughout your city because this is no different. Do these people look like they're coming to follow any laws of any country? Then literally breaking the laws upon entering this way and they're coming with nothing to offer only their hands out to receive whatever they think that they're entitled to. What country do you know what allows is? And have the ability to take care of all of these damn people before they even take care of their own who are living in the streets? America will not be able to recover from the stupidity this current Administration

Canada life is great, provided you work your *** off. \n\nDon’t come to Canada and do begging on the streets or get free money from government. \n\nWe as Canadians cannot be paying for this as these free money will raise taxes.\n\nCanada winters are harsh so if you are don’t like cold then just stay home.\n\nRents are high as well especially in cities so is your cost of living.

Turn them all loose in a large American city , they will all migrate anywhere but here , our country is a cesspool under this administration

This makes me so mad, that city is struggling their citizens can’t get assistance because the local government is giving to the immigrants. Housing programs are giving their funding to those coming across the border they can’t even help United States citizens.

@Mac Ronan \nOh, there's _plenty_ of housing, however, unlike my parent's and grandparent's generations, the buying market is unfathomably skewed, to the detriment of single families. This is largely because of the bulk buy up of properties by hedge funds, which in turn rent these properties at exorbitant costs, and severely limiting the supply of homes available to buy by prospective homeowners. Another factor is the curtailing of multiple family housing (as in affordable apartment buildings and duplexes) due to unprecedented restrictions on development zoning permits for the average citizen,\ninstead favoring the whims of commercial and gated community developers, most of whom have contributed to the campaigns of the various city council members who enact these policies. Beginning with deregulation and less focus on community development under Reagan, the crowding out of potential new home buyers saw an upsurge after the '08 crash. With thousands of Americans facing homelessness with impending foreclosure, most were forced from their homes, and thus a huge upsurge in demand for lower cost rentals for tenants that now had terrible credit ratings.Their former homes (sometimes entire neighborhoods), however, were purchased dirt cheap by aforementioned hedge funds and large rental property realtors from banks desperate to recoup even a fraction of their losses due to the crash. This policy of 'pump and dump' mass property purchases continued, largely turning the once suburban neighborhoods of homeowners into strictly assets to be squeezed for every bit of profitability possible. Even as the economy stabilized, even after the big banks profited overall from these foreclosures, because there were no lasting effective measures taken to prevent this housing situation from reoccurring, nor was the issues surrounding the housing market for single family home ownership ever addressed, let alone properly rectified, the housing market steadily constricted. As the U.S. gasps a last breath in it's death nell through late stage capitalism, there is no future policies or government reforms championing loudly for affordable home ownership on the horizon, and this is not likely to change anytime soon, not as long as the megalomaniacal entities continue to usurp any chance for the American Dream to be realized for all future generations.

THEY ARE GOING STRAIGHT TO NEW YORK, CITY MAYOR SAYS THEY CAN GET HOUSING FOR FREE OR AT LEAST MOTELS ROOM ????

And sanctuary cities are not even taking them in….they’re leaving it to border towns that are being decimated

I think like u ...im 61 and with my son moving to ireland for university as he too hates ontario we are hoping to move there as well..i was born in scotland so having citizenship in uk will help us move ...im sick of taxes dirty cities homelessness and not seeing people who look like me...if we stay we will always have to work and my husband is 69 and still we could not afford to retire.

Ok - here's what I propose :\nGo around to ALL the colleges and universities and big cities like NY and Shit-cago and get all those people who want and love socialism.\nWe'll trade them, one for one, with the people from Venezuela.

This is too much ...I know American that need help ....we need to save our on first there so many homeless Americans in every major city....I know our government see this..... Help Americans

Everything you said is true. I lost two parents due to cancer here and I’m leaving before the stress puts me in the plot too. Leave while there is still time. Escape before they make the 15 min commie cities and then you will never be able to leave!!!!

They’re just trying to get to New York City as fast as they can to make sure that Donald Trump is OK!

I love seeing how easy it is to illegally migrate to Canada when housing prices are already off the charts, and overpopulation and microsocieties are taking over our cities and towns, with insanely slow building development to compensate. Gotta love Canadian hospitality, especially when it screws over the people already living here.

Don't forget, they're also attacking and demanding things from Mexico. They're destroying the city and demanding things that you have to work for.

God bless the desperate people. We need to change. We need to make the difference. Don't you know that foreign countries are buying multi-million dollar properties and not living in them? Whole cities are abandoned too! Don't believe me? Just watch!

Statistics Canada 2016, rural areas in Canada accounted for approximately 96% of the country's land mass. This means that while only a relatively small percentage of Canada's population lives in rural areas, the majority of the country's physical land area is considered rural. If you want a real taste of Canada you are not traveling to Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Vancouver, Ottawa etc. Visit a city or town that you must rely on your neigbour, not avoid them. Approx 12%+ of Canada's GDP is located in rural Canada. I agree with your video to an extent, sure I grew up in a town with, 3rd world condtions, no clean water, no sewage, no roads, fly in fly out and you never mentioned that we have a small portion of that here too. However I see you are only scratching the surface of the issures that can polorize each viewpoint.

BULLSHIT statement that America has no room for destitute immigrants! I come from Flint Michigan, where there are TENS OF THOUSANDS of abandoned homes that could be fixed up enough to make passable homes for folks! The same reality of tens of thousands of abandoned homes in so many of our American cities. Where are the churches in all this? They should be helping and sponsoring these people to get roofs over their heads. America is truly a barbaric, uncaring Country. Shame on all you smug, unfeeling, uncaring spoiled -rotten Americans who turn a blind eye to the destitute, hungry, suffering and dying! Shame on you.

Save your own country first …we can only do so much for others… Canada also carries a mass amount of homeless people… we are very diverse, but what about our own citizens that are dying, mentally Ill, financial loss, elders,veterans, addictions. These people need to upmost help…and are being ignored…find what is wrong and help them.. without the help cities become criminal grounds because they need their fix, they need the money and they need the help.

In the Bible God tells this King to build a wall to protect his city from other nations who believe in other God's and these people also bring witchcraft, curses, their evil altars, ect..etc... Look at King Solomon he was great till he started sleeping, marrying women's who worshiped other God's, So he was cursed with Cofusion at the end of his life.

They been watching all the robberies in the blue led cities and figured they could just do a bum rush and they wont suffer any consequences. This president is doing NOTHING to secure the Border.

I met Vietnam vets living in woods outside of Austin and they stay there for safety with Austins crime wave. Shelters are full of thugs that prey on the homeless so that's not a option. Woke city government has destroyed Austin

An they come an live in a home with 14 ppl an buy up the city lol

Despite this mess on the MEXICAN side of the border, El Paso is still one of the safest cities in the entire country. Our crime rates are very, very low.

A direct consequence of having sanctuary cities, what did you think would happen.

We’re supposed to believe there wasn’t a single safe city anywhere between America and Venezuela that they could’ve stayed in?

? I do feel for these people. However, how do you measure the quality of immigrants wanting to live in the US. Thousands of Venezuelans have crossed the border to Colombia. Although most want a better life, there are the many that do atrocities!!! The city where my parents are from there are neighborhoods where Venezuelans hangs have taken over….. there were peaceful places before Venezuelans got there. It can be frustrating when talking about immigration.

If they do these what else can do if they in the citys

We do have a lot of ghost towns and cities. Empty building and abandon housing everywhere. If we can make these people live in those abandon areas.\nFor 5 years. ?

I am not against immigration but the fact of the matter is this in this country aren’t going well even for its own citizens. Homelessness is up, inflation is up, unemployment, gas and groceries are up. The average American has to make a choice every month wether they get to feed their family or catch up on bills. We need to improve our infrastructure some cities are literally falling to pieces. We need to fix our country just like these folks need to do to their home country, running from the problem won’t fix it.

Haven't been there since Thanksgiving, but there were large tent cities visible from the Hwy and the Venezuelan flag was flying high. \nThat's\nAn invasion.

This is crazy our country is being invaded we don’t know who’s entering and apparently the government don’t care protect yourself America practice your second amendment because the criminals are coming your way sanctuary states cities California Los Angeles New York Hoya and say goodbye to your jobs

Send them to sanctuary cities \nThey’ll be treated better

When the red states start dropping them off in Democrat states and cities because it's them that is allowing this, people like myself are going to laugh from a distance watching your very way of life destroyed. You're going to get exactly what you deserve for destroying this country.

Poutine ))) missing this food \nfew reasons why i want to leave \n1) Woke and stupid government \n2)Huge taxes , in 2023 they became even higher \n3) Prices for food , utilities , became really really high\n4) Too dangerous on the street . Even in Downtowns you can hear some guns \n5) People loosing their freedom . It became very clear after 3 years of covid \n6) Worst health system in the world . \n7) fcking cold . 5-6 months of snow really depressing . \nP.S i live in Montreal and i can say that we have less then 1300 hours of sun a year . Just to compare in my home city we had 2500 \nSo if you prefer sunny days i suggest you to choose some other country

We are seeing this right now because the idiot you voted for doesn’t mind this happening. \nThink of the NYC mayor so upset about migrants being in his city. \nIt’s the “looks good from my house” train of thought. But Americans on the border are having their toy boxes turned upside down.

This is what happens when your whole city of ELPASO TX is a Democratic Party and you vote fore a person that hates America, keep voting fore traitors that hate our country. Shame on El Paso tx

Yes and if these people truly believed in God and Jesus they wouldn't run from their countries but actually stay on the ground and stand strong in their faith that God and Jesus are going to help them persevere through all this. As a fully disabled American citizen with a child that doesn't even get $1,000 a month and there's no available housing at all where I live no waiting list to go on people on SSI disability don't get any extra housing help we're not offered separate housing are put on separate lists and low-income Able Body people or the migrants jumping the Border but I was born and raised here paid taxes and worked until my body literally couldn't anymore but I don't hear anybody bitching and screaming and crying about the fact that my son and I would be on the streets if it hadn't been for one of my family members stepping up and giving his housing after a lifetime restraining order issued during my pregnancy on my son's biological do do with domestic abuse situation. I'm also US citizen that spent time in the Wards in Houston and projects and other cities and if you don't think that we don't have the same gun violence drug trafficking human trafficking gangs take it over cartels taking over neighborhoods and communities than you're freaking lying to yourself and everybody else. The same s*** that's taken over these countries is taking over the inner cities have been for decades and these are the same communities that most of these people will end up in. No it's not about not being good Christians part of being a good Christian is reminding people to stand their ground and have faith in Jesus and God and their own home territory and not to give it up to the crime people in the bad politicians. You can't say you believe in God and Jesus Christ and then he's got your back while you're running and that's the truth in the reality that nobody wants to hear the more people run from these countries the more the bad people are able to take over and then we get complaints here in the states about the cost attacks is rightfully so. For those people screaming and shouting that everybody should go out pick up in my grant and bring them home to their house and feed them and take them and I challenge you to do the same thing for homeless before you even do the migrant do homeless American citizens go out and really educate yourself because I'm totally tired of hearing from Americans that the only people that live on the streets are people with mental health problems that need mental health treatment or people that are stoned out and that's where they want to be you guys are so f****** wrong and this is coming from someone that met homeless people spent time around homeless people and understand we have a society that wants to paints a very different picture than what's truly going on because then it allows for hey it's not our problem they want to be there. I will say there's two I'm sure a lot of people are attracted to come into the United States I mean it's kind of turned into the Devil's Playground don't you think I mean look at how ostentatiously people live the projects on the backs of taxpayers selling dope holding down dead-end jobs to make it look like they're working all while going out and getting their hair did and their nails done and their eyelashes done and pimping out their cars and all that b******* and buying all this you know high-end tennis shoes and f****** clothing and Handbags and s*** and then we have the part of the United States that justified of themselves all the time or it's okay to have this huge palatial house or have multiple houses I'll we have United States veterans living on the streets or people that truly have disabilities that have been a waiting list for 2 and 3 years for housing. I remind people all the time and they hate hearing this s*** Jesus never had a house as a matter of fact Jesus basically live like a homeless person after he was an adult particularly and God made sure he was provided for. I mean did you all forget the night they came to take them away they were asleep in an Open Garden it wasn't like they popped up tents or glamper camper sites had some little Adobe type cabins they were sleeping in. As a matter of fact if you pay attention to most of the stories about Jesus and talking about him sleeping he does a lot of sleeping Outdoors. Remember God is a father that's how he's been represented and talked about in the Bible and Jesus was a man without a doubt no biological transgender question ability there. People need to remember that part of being a fair and loving. Is also teaching and discipline and these children following rules. I don't believe hearing God and Jesus telling all these people run from your countries and not have faith that I'm actually going to fix things for you and go run to somebody else actually go run to the United States where all those stuff is traveling through. I never understood the logic of that it's like rats run from the country where they're making the drugs to the country that supplying the globe with it and we're all of these bad people have thousands of people in planted everywhere with guns and hookups. I don't know why people don't understand that we have dirty lawn forcement in dirty politicians that are in bed with the dirty drug cartels that's as much as they are in the country. You don't think that there's not decisions made in the United States based on drugs and I'm not talking about how to put it into them but how to keep them flowing. I have Fred still in Florida and we were all making jokes about how quickly Sanibel Island all the way up to st. Pete got Mainland access so quickly after the last major hurricane that took everything down and we all know what it's from is because that portion of Florida is used to bring a lot of drugs in from South America, Central America. So for all of you that want to post your personal assumptions about homeless people because that's all it is unless you've actually been homeless or spent time around homeless you really have no clue what's going on in the homeless population except what you've been told by the same political talking head media bulshit that's been lying to everybody about a bunch of other stuff too. Don't you get it the politicians don't want people knowing that a lot of the people that are homeless on the street are people that are disabled and aren't disabled because they have mental health problems I know that's the narrative they've been trying to stuff down people's throats.

Tbh I'd probably try and break into America too if I was trapped in Tijuana. You know how scary of a place Tijuana is? It makes Detroit look like Beverly hills. Sorry Venezuelans, my thoughts are with you as you try to survive one of Mexico's worst cities.

I can believe that they care more about immigrants then US civilians. Example NYC there’s a lot of homeless people and what is the city doing ,giving building shelter, vouchers homes , $$$ , moving the immigrants everywhere in the United States .How about our people , veterans

Listen to the reason.\nYou really think because there's land here that this country can support millions and millions of people at one time it will destroy what everybody is so violently try to get to. Their will be no jobs because there will be to many people, if there's very little money and way to many people they , us will have no money for rent there will be make shift cities just like the countries they are trying to get away from. This country will fall from to many people. Close the border let countries know there's no jobs build the wall

I think you are judging Canada using relatively small scope of criteria. Is some of what you say true? Probably. But there is so much more to Canada. Personally, I think there is so much beauty here, but I sure the hell don't expect to find it in Vancouver, or any other major city. It comes down to how you look at something. If you think it's ugly, then you're going to find a lot to support that opinion. The opposite is also true. There are 2 sides to that coin and they can't be wrong, because they are subjective.

How can one say Ontario is the worst when it is one of the most populous city in Canada. Ive been to Toronto many times as I have relatives and friends there. Very nice there. Obviously a fake survey and fishing for views and comments. Not gonna click Like nor subscribe you baiter ?. Enjoy my comment. You're welcome EH! ?

No jobs in Canada, cold weather, boring cities&people introvert people and anti-social people, inferior Canadians who love to compare themselves with Americans all the time...They do not miss anything by not going to Canada. Toronto is modern slavery capital, the east coast is full of narrow minded people, Quebec na na, Alberta is wild rose province( name itself tells its people), MB and SK are too cold too boring too dull. Only maybe BC!. Yes Canadians are kind too. They will fart in public and say sorry!
