I am French Canadian. I will make it easy. Speak my language, be nice and don't vote blindly for Trudeau. It is that easy

Hello I have a question if anyone could give me suggestion what would be best for me... \n\nI'm 23 years old currently finishing my honors degree in Journalism. In my life I never had any true goals. I kinda lived in a fantasy world of my own for some time(No drugs or anything). I have currently formed a great passion for making music. Although I still don't play multiple instruments or know my way around mixing software. I have a decent vocal and I can make melodies.With my music knowledge I believe that I can make good songs if someone could make music part for me. \n\nI want to immigrate to 1st world country because I feel like my talents are wasted here. I was also a great soccer player but couldn't do anything with that because there's no proper platform. \n \nSo I want to do Master's degree in a English speaking country like USA/Canada/Australia. I want to continue study and look for opportunities in music production and settle there. But I'm scared and nervous. Because I don't have any backup there. I don't want to do odd jobs and make day to day living. I want to succeed in life. \nI wish I had a mentor who can guide me through it. I have stability in my country but I want to risk it for the biscuit you know? Am I making a mistake! God help me decide ?

Come back Enoch! I did not speak out against you. This country needs you now more than ever.

This is a genocide against seeks if the government was honestly would step in and prove their their honor and ethical behavior and put a stop to this or provide aid for the students but none of that's happening it's being done to make the families of the students lose their farms imperialistic company behavior at its finest I'm talking about the East India company and the applyboard representative for owner can not even speak proper English himself it seems so shady the whole squeeze being put on Panjab

You may not like it but it's your first amendment: Freedom of Speech. There is no amendment stating that freedom of expression is only what White middle class liberals permit - although give Joe Biden the chance? Also, it sounds as though the Indian gentleman hasn't learned to speak English.

Absolutely BRUTAL!!\nThis man speaks the airy-fairy talk about who he thinks immigrants are...ha has NO CLUE!!\nI have been through the camps; lived the life and met the 'immigrant'.\nSome are amazing contributors...most choose tradition or crime and will never allow themselves, their family, or their friends the blessing of Canadian integration.\nCanada needs an election...NOW!!!

You should've warn us non Indians that you speak in your bloody language

Sir, you said the US & Canada are predominantly English speaking Country. & in the USA why there's no Official Language or National Language? & in Canada why is their prime minister mostly are French?

I don't know about Canada America but I believe you got spitting fast cuz you always do speak truth so I'm what you want this journey Mordor the ring of power

Not sure I agree with Quebec being no 1. Being born and raised in that province, and able to speak French fluently. I had no problem moving to Ontario. Quebec is for sure a beautiful province, but that said, has the worst health care system, the political structure is definitely anti English. Any immigrant must go to French school, unless you pay privately. Taxes are the highest in the all of Canada, and you get very little in return. Personally, I would creep over the border into Ontario, and if you are working in a Quebec, pay a hell of a lot less in taxes, have a more liberal education system, both in English or French, and healthcare is much more accesible.

If your experience in the US is only places like L.A., New Orleans, Miami, and New York you have not been to the US. That's like saying the roads in Canada are horrible, the air is piss and menthol flavored, the people are absolute scumbags if you can't speak French. All those things can be said about Montreal, not so much about Saskatchewan.

Hello, guys! I am 28 now, I finished Law University and I want to move abroad. I am well travelled so far but I want to travel much more in the near future. ??\nI live in small country in Europe, I need different opportunities and new adventures. I love tourism (I finished touristic school, too) and I speak 4 languages on a quite good level. Any suggestions? Thank you so much! ??

Hi with Ielts 6\n5.5 Listening\n6.5 writting \n6.5 speaking \n4.5 Reading can I qualify for cook job in canada.please advice.

It's interesting hearing the perspective of foreigners speaking about your country. I really don't agree with a lot of this as an American

I agree, I was born and raised here, unless you speak the language, have a good education, its puts you behind the 8 ball if you want to stay here. Why? Because the cost of living is too high, Why? Because our gov. let foreign powers come into out country and flip our real estate to make fast profits and that drives up the rents and costs of housing to the point that you cannot afford to live here, period. The only way that you can do it is to team up with other families and all live in the same place and slowly build up your education, job skills and income to a point where you can afford to live and get a place of your own, thats the way they did it in my parents time and it seemed to work, but when you have a gov. that all they can think about is their climate control BS and to raise the carbon taxes, interest rates causing inflation, causing prices to go up on everything it becomes a losing battle. So unless you are prepared to work two or three jobs, don't even think about it, because now its next to impossible to do unless you have someone supporting you on your climb to the top. In Canada we need health care workers and that could be nurses, doctors, health care aids, psw's, dsw's and physiotherapists, in some provinces they give free courses to get these jobs and you end up getting good wages like min. 25.00 per hour to start and all the hours you can handle, that means if you work 60 hours a week, you make 1500 a week, now that you can survive on, I know this for a fact because a friend of mine just went through the course and now she is set for life, that was a PSW course, its all up to you, if you want it bad enough, you can have it all. Welcome to Canada.

speaking of Canada did you know that the national sport of Canada ISENT HOCKEY? ITS ####ING LACROSSE

You are being sold the American dream 2.0.\nThen you come here and take our jobs and make renting a place harder.\nThat's. That's what ya do.\n\nBut we don't need ya here. You are not.

ngl i thought number was gonna be bc or ont or alberta because quebec is just to boring there like you gotta speak french sometime and all it is the scenery and historic place and good bridges but i thought the crime rate would be higher since quebec i think has the worst university shooting but it was long ago but what about the mosque shooting but ontario rn has alot oh shooting last year

I don’t speak French and I have never experienced this kind of discrimination. I mean, I want to learn your language, but I don’t think it’s disrespectful from me to being here without knowing your language.

Speaking of New Orleans, I felt that southern hospitality Aba was talking about but god damn their public transportation is bad ?

I live in San Antonio and most of those cons are all there. The sprawl is bad. If you dont have a car, its rough af. The racial sections are there too. Mexican in the west and south, Black in the east, Whites in the north. Central being the most diverse of all of them. Hispanic/Latino are the majority here (60%) and there are huge sections of the southside that only speak spanish

Why do we allow this silly Canuck’s speak against our life? What’s the year we annex these goofballs?

The thing with different communities living separately is although it breeds animosity between groups, it bolsters community within them.\n\nPeople are less likely to speak their immigrant parents' languages and preserve their culture if they aren't around others like them most of the time.

I thought you'd forget about integration, but you covered it at the end there. This is one of the main reasons why I moved from Europe to Canada. Obviously, I can't speak for the whole country but my impression is that Canada is less segregated than a lot of other countries.

Montreal, Vancouver, Toronto are all beautiful. i’m in Oromo (Ethiopia) and we don’t have too much diversity compared to our other residence in Dubai (UAE) America US is ok! I like Arizona, Texas parts of Washington DC but it’s not too friendly and even affluent people only speak one language, English and have primal diets! I was stunned by the poverty and homelessness in New York, DC, California, Florida, Georgia and other states….looks like 3rd world

So I am originally from metro NY. I have to make that distinction because upstate is entirely different. When my husband was in the military we travelled a lot with domestically and internationally. Then we settled south. I can say that Preach is right about NY women being harder. However it is t just the women, and I will say it isn’t something we realize. I started working somewhere a good friend of mine had already settled. I was called into the office because my supervisor had gotten a complaint that they way I spoke to someone as rude. Additionally he got the same comment about my friend. While we thought we were being direct, it was being perceived as rude. That we needed to put a little more sugar in the way we spoke to people because that is what is customary there. I grew up in a more speak your mind and be clear, concise, and direct. Where my local co-workers were accustomed to a less direct and a softer approach. It’s something that I have had to really work on because I 100% never realized it about myself.

5:51 OMG I felt like you were speaking after my own heart. The obsession with cheese here is sickening, but you’re called a weirdo for not being in love with it the way some people here are

Yeah I’m good. Canadas prime minister just kidnapped people’s bank accounts for speaking out against injustices. I’ll keep my merica. It’s not perfect but at least I don’t gotta worry about a heavy handed dictator

The division they speak of LA. It's and has always been because of gangs. Gangs started in LA.

You guys never speak about Canada but seeing what's happening with Jordan Peterson I understand

Can´t speak for Canada, but it´s pretty similar to a lot of places in Europe and America. I´ve lived in the states and currently live in Germany and I´m happier here for the same reasons mentioned. Food, public transportation, safety, water quality...

I’m well traveled and lived in many parts of the world and I was in the Army (10th Mountain Div) right by the Canadian boarder. I had a girlfriend whom I met in Ottawa and naka that’s when I discovered that Canadian women speak fluent French and the reggae was the shitz! ??

I moved from the U.S. to Canada. Some observations:\n1. It's unbelievably safe in Canada. The most dangerous places in Canada are still very safe compared to much of the U.S.\n2. Outside of DC and New York and I guess Chicago and L.A. in the U.S. and Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver in Canada, you need a car. I disagree that city planning is that much better in Canada.\n3. The maternity leave in Canada is great \n4. The unemployment insurance in Canada is great too\n5. I prefer the Canadian health care system. I never experienced any long wait times. My wife had literal brain surgery and it was free whereas it would've been hundreds of thousands of dollars in the U.S.\n6. Canada is further to the left and is much more woke than the U.S. Everything here is about equity, diversity and inclusion. Even many Canadian conservatives would be moderates in the U.S. but most people know this already.\n7. There is a better work life balance in Canada. I worked a lot more when living in the U.S.\n8. Most Canadians live by the U.S. border  so the weather is not that different than most northern American states. But once you go to northern Canada, it is as cold as they say it is.\n9. The U.S. is better for making money.\n10. It is much more racially segregated in the U.S. \n11. Outside cities like Montreal and Toronto, Canada is very white.\n12. Things are much more spread out in Canada. When I lived in the U.S. driving for 1 hour to go somewhere was a long drive. In Canada, that is normal.\n13. Canada is pretty great if you like the outdoors. There's only 36 million people here and outside the major cities, you find small towns and the wilderness. \n14. Canadians are quite friendly. I know my neighbors in the country. I never knew my neighbors in the U.S.\n15. Canadian politics is boring and I like this. However, in the rural areas, it seems that people really hate Justin Trudeau.\n16. Since Canada is so similar to the U.S. it is very easy to adjust to life here.\n17. Outside of Quebec, you really don't need to speak French. \n18. The nationalism of the Quebecois is very surprising. There is no group in the U.S. this nationalistic.

I think a lot of that racial neighborhood segregation in the States stems from Red-Lining and things like that. Only speaking for the South.

I would go to Canada but I heard majority or lot more ppl speak a different language there (can't remember what the language their)

Canada is indeed great, but the lower cost of living / higher quality of life doesn’t make up for the lower salaries in my experience. It’s nice to be able to come to the states to build a career and then go back once you have a solid foundation. I’m speaking from the perspective of someone working in tech.

Right off the bat you kinda made the point that most conservatives try to make when discussing States rights... Every state has its own thing, there are regions that adopt similar qualities, but generally speaking the USA is multiple States who have a union... but our educational system has spend decades brainwashing people into thinking that its all one big thing, and the Federal government controls all of it, like an empire.

The CBC is a huge issue in Canada. It’s funded ENTIRELY with tax dollars therefore the government decides what we watch, even if no one wants to watch it at all, and the CBC is 100% in love with the Liberal government and all of their news is blatant propaganda. Why not? The Liberals increased the CBC budget to 1.6 Billion a year of course they want to spin the news to help them especially when you consider the fact that many Conservatives want it defunded completely because they are tired of the spin. \nAnother issue is that some areas of Canada make the decisions for the rest of the country. Ontario and Quebec have large populations therefore when it comes to federal elections they basically always get their way even if everyone in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba disagrees. \nAlso, Quebec gets treated completely differently than the rest of the country. They have special deals when it comes to university tuition and child care, they have their own political party that no one else can vote for, and they force the rest of the country to have French all over the place and on everything which is mostly pointless and very few people in Canada can only speak French and can’t understand the English. The amount of crappy, unwatchable French TV/radio shows we outside Quebec have to pay for with tax dollars is beyond ridiculous.\nI know this comment will get hate especially since I mentioned Quebec which is a touchy subject.

The man doesn't even speak English. These Latino immigrants escape their countries that they themselves ruined after getting independence from Spain and are upset that we don't roll out the red carpet and start speaking Spanish for them. They then get a chip on their shoulder and call us racist for not letting their whole country in. The entitlement is unbelievable.

I’m not Canadian, but I don’t know how this guy can function In Montreal, where half the city is English speaking, not to mention the immigrants. I think he needs to go back to being a country bumpkin Quebecer. I mean no offense to actual rural Quebecers.

Doesn’t even attempt to learn English before coming to a English speaking country?

Remember when the trucker Convoy people were called terrorist and then the Punjabi Community got angry because they were called a terrorist?\n\nAlso the native woman got crushed by the RCMP horse during that protest. Also the news reporters were not allowed and the one who did was shot in the leg by RCMP, also a woman.\n\nAlso a grandmother thrown in jail with chains around ankles and wrists, forbidded her to speak in public by using any source of utilities as in social media.\n\nOh! Canada.

Canada is not a white country anymore. It is mostly people from third world countries that can't speak English. There is no community, culture. It's cold, it's poor, rent is high, wages are low. It is filled with mentally insane liberals that want to get abortions, mutilate the genitals of their children and euthanize them when they get depressed. Living in Canada is a waste of life.

I feel I have to speak up, as a Quebecer, the common opinion in the population, especially in the old one is that they fought to have their own country but lost the vote by a tiny % so overall people feel resentful to Canada and the federal governement. Yeah they live in the past, I know, but if we look in history our ancestors had to fight the british over centuries, most of it was fought in institutions and laws, because Quebecers were catholic and british were protestant, also Quebec absolutely wanted to preserve the french language, this unique dialect we have in Quebec. I don't know why language matter so much, but it does. So yeah, maybe that's why Quebec is racist a little, because in order to have the stuff we have now, a lot of nationalistic leader had to be elected. And I completely agree with it, most people wont say mean stuff but they wont mix in with other cultures.
