F CANADA, im in BC canada on disability for life due to immune system problems. past 10 years ive tride getting healthy and started feeling good, i found a good job last summer, making 29$ hr full time! i was very excited and ready to move on in life from the system, 3 months into it, i start doing the math... im losing 22% off each check for taxes twice per month + union dues, + they charging me for cleaning service for my uniform 5$ per check THEN i pay 12% tax on all good i buy.. SO im losing almost 40% of my monthly income after fees and taxes... NOW im working so i need a car to be at work on taime daily.... this is another 15-20% monthly expense.. YEAHHH RIGHT i am not working myself to the bone to work just to be as POOR as i was on Disability. i quit the job as soon as i paid off the car, sold the car now im my own boss again , i have no need for a clock, i sleep until i want, eat when i want, and go where i want 7 days a week. You have to be a total FOOL to work in this country with these amount of fees and taxes, and please dont say taxes are high becuase of the 2% on welfare, take a look at the BILLIONS of dollars your foolish leader Trudeau is giving to Ukriane.

As Russians, maybe you dont notice the weather. Anyone from the Tropics HATES it. \nCanada coasts on a reputation earned 40-50 years ago, when a man could get off the plane in Malton, get a job the next day at the airport, and have the wife stay at home and raise 4-6 kids in a semi-detached. No more. That ended about 20 years ago. Try Croatia.

dont let canada's landscape deceive you

Hi Team, if one receive COPR when is the right time to travel if you dont have a job (since flight tickets are costly these days so it becomes difficult to plan) has there are daily expenses has one has to bear since you do not have a job and 2023 is difficult for job market in canada.

I would say another reason is the political instability, the near dictator fashion tools the pm uses to fight any kind of opposition. Like blocking opposing peoples bank accounts, forcing fund raising companies not to pay out, controlling the media to lie about the opposition. Now, I understand if you dont mention it if you are not citizens, or even if you are, you could get in a lot of trouble.

i want to tell you this , doctors in Canada dont easily want to prescribe antibiotics i don’t know why , as if it’s coming from their pockets!!!

As a muslim im very sorry about that please dont think all of us (muslims) are like them. Its just i would say maybe 5% of us do it which i dont agree at all what they do. our religion is peace and we cannot do such a things in non muslim Land! They are just extremists doesnt know our religion just like the zionists..I live in UK as a muslim for a long time and i respect all of your laws and im still not doing anything wrong even if i dont like things like LGBTQ and other stuff which are discusting. Anyway peace to you all lets respect the laws wherever we are! \nAllah is the greatest.

all i hear is white guilt !, how do you expect diversity at the top when most immigrants are first generation who arent skilled enough or spent enough time to go up the ladder. i am a first generation immigrant from Africa and i dont expect anything to be given to me.

This country is shit. Born here, over 50 years ago, and having lived and travelled around much of the world, I see that this place has deteriorated so much in the past 5 to 10 years. I dont recognize the place anymore. People here are sheep, foolish, and overly welcoming to people who provide nothing to the country. the government steals from anyone who works. Want to see a reprise of communism? come here. where else do you get a Crime minister openly supporting the burning of churches and stealing peoples money for protesting for true democracy?

you dont go to toronto to see canada lol

Its not muslims its middle eastern people. Asian muslims arent like this because they arent from a backwards violent society that has been damaged by centuries of inbreeding. If you dont believe the inbreeding part the UK had to ask muslims to please stop having children with family members

The big difference between both countries, is that it is slow and harder to find jobs in Canada, in USA you find jobs of all type right away. about health services , Canadian one is great, but in USA, if you are ilegal, or unemploye or if you dont have private insurance the goverment pay your bills , it is called Medicare, it is for low income people. So both countries have different systems and both work well.

I often ask people their cultural ethnicity and they say Canadian However............ Canada is not an ethnic background it is a corparation you cant erase your heritage and replace it with the word Canadian. Dont lie to yourself and dont lie to me

Alot of people mirgrate to Canada from my country hence I have known about Canada since I was a kid and although I dont want to live there but I definitely want to visit Canada oneday

30 years ago canada was very different i came when i was 19 i loved the country i did my adult life here but not anymore ,i am soo scared to get sick here healthcare system is worst than a third world country now people here dont have compasion in hospitals they treat you worst than an animal

Canada is not worth coming to if you own a home in your current country and are generally happy, have a decent job and family, don't come here because it will not be easy or better than what you have. You will have to start from nothing, working the worst jobs cleaning hotels and toilets or working minimum wage in a retail store, even if you are a professional in your home country. There is nothing better here, nothing is free unless you come as a refugee. This country is the anti-dream of America. The taxes are very hi, the rent is unaffordable, to buy a house you have to make $200,000k a year, so basically you will be screwed. There is no way to save for retirement in Canada, so don't think life will get easier. In Canada you will get stuck working well beyond your retirement years like into your 70's you will work here until you drop dead. My parents are 70 and still work because they are still paying off their mortgage, while they get retirement $1,300 per month which is the standard is a joke since it doesn't cover the basics, you need $6,000 at least to survive for a month, to buy food, gas for your car, carinsurance, phone bill, utilities, anything else, just the basics. What the government gives you is completely unrealistic to the times, considering the amount of money people pay in taxes you don't get enough during your retirement years, the government has no use for you so they dont care about you when you get old.

I am also of da strong opinion that you are expressing even tjough I hvnt seen ir lived in australia but I do hv a person whos a BE hons from NUS singapore gone to sydney as a school teacher living in a single bedroom hse. I understood da suffering in Australia. I dont like to go there

Me:( cooking while listening)?\nPreach: I dont want cheese on every meal!\nMe: (just finished putting 5lbs of cheese on the food) ?

The Best part about living in the U.S. is that you can pick your climate.. if you like warm weather, snow, cold, desert hot, Surfing weather, etc... I dont know what other country can offer that.

good thing dont let these goons carry knives

Hi there. thank you for the very helpful video but I have question i only apply for my mom for tourst visa should i need to sign my invitation letter? Should it be really look like it or i can do something semilar to the letter you show? and lastly about the bank statement, she dont have bank acc. she is also widow, im the one who will provide everything for her from plane ticket to everything she needs here. thank you im hoping for your answer. love from edmonton.

Y’all may not want to admit but it’s safer because it’s whiter. The parts yall mention in Canada that have danger i bet it’s a more black area. Sorry but blk ppl dont know how to live civilized. And California has double the pop than the whole country of Canada. So it’s dumb to mention safety from dangerous ppl when there’s a lot less ppl. And the tap water thing, not in NYC. NYC gets rated the best in the world consistently

Us has human rights...bro why you dont have a gun ?

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

yeah the cost of living thing is only you guys. youre just rich, dont forget that. its really hard for a lot a lot of people in canada rn

Did you forget the obvoious? ALL ENTERTAINERS . ACTORS , COMEDIANS, SINGERS, RAPPERS/HIP HOP . US even has to make your rappers famous? Thats sad. Besides Drake who do you have? Please dont say Tory Lanes cause we bout to ship him back after he does his bid for his Harlem Night stunt involving our girl Megs pinky toe.

Idk man i dont think comparing Montreal to LA is really a good comparison. You got us on tap water tho, shit crazy how i cant even trust my own water anymore

Dont Sneeze unless your ready to say goodbye

To me its crazy to see how different living in the city is from a rural or even Suburban area. Like cost of living in most burbs is no where near either countries city.\n\nIve been to a few places, several different parts of the US, Japan, Canada, Mexico and what they all taught me is i dont want to live in a city.

As a new yorker the women thing is 100% facts. All these females either got 4 kids, sound like battle rappers drink henny and smoke bud 24/7 or got an attitude problem. Florida worse they all burning. I lived all over the US and our women straight trash. They all think they Lizzo Cardi B and the Kardashians. I went to Toronto for Caribana a couple times and yo the women were nice, in shape, did their makeup nice and were cool and welcoming as hell.... And being a West Indian if you dont live in NYC or Miami/Orlando you aint getting Caribbean food anywhere period. You gonna have to Amazon yourself some curry powder to Lousiville Kentucky

Tap Water is the most crazy part for me im from canada and have a friend who is from the usa and he was shocked that we are able to drink the water here me and my friends all made fun saying for 0.25$ a day you can sponsor an American so they to can have the life changing experience of clean drinking water as well as shooling where they dont have to live in fear of getting shot so on and so on lmfao

You did miss the one important issue and that is health insurance. I think you did a good job of discussing he issue again and were genuine with your opinions. I went to montreal in 1990 and it was great because it was like Europe and so french and unlike the US. I dont know what it would be like to live there but for vacation it was fun. And i think it is obvious because you both have money now the us Healthcare system is superior to Canada. If i dont have money for health insurance, i would love Canada for being free. But if i have serious illness, the us is superior.

0:25 Correction:States of America are indeed different from each other. \n\nTheres stereotypes…but just like the stereotypes of other countries/states, dont let them trick/deceive you.

8:44 WHAT DID HE SAYYYYY????\n\nnah but that's something definitely taken advantage by most people, good tap water is such a godsend especially when you're tryna get something to drink at 2am and dont have to worry about whether you still have some bottled water around in your fridge or not

Dont forget but I believe Justin Bieber is from Canada

Im fine with that notion, it keeps the safe places in America unkown and underpopulated if you dont think they exist, prolly best if people move out instead of raising the property value in places still doing alright.

GOOD. STAY THERE AND DONT COME BACK. 1 LESS DANGERIOUSE GROUP OF MEN IN THE COUNTY

GOOD GLAD U DID. BC THE SIMPS U ALL ARE . WE DONT NEED YOU TWO HERE. GLAD. U WONT BE MISSED. THESE 2 NEED SOMONE TO TELL U WHAT TO DO AND THINK. AND U ALL HERE NEED THE SAME. THESE 2 LOSERS LEFT FOR A REASON AND ITS NOT WHAT THEY SAID IT WAS

That's a different mindset we have down in the south, we dont want to be near our neighbors \nWe value our privacy\nWe have better security-from criminals and cops\nWe have less interactions with people,especially the onescwe want to stay away from\n\nIts just preference, i use to go to ontario bi yearly to hang with family and hated there, and I ran into more racist people there especially at the border with border patrol

Big city living in the States definitely a little different than small and medium city life. All in all, I dont like NYC either, and I live in the state.

The only thing about Canada different cities in USA , you dont have to worry about self centered people and hypocrisy and dysfunctional people even they are everywhere

Ya...i dont trust a country thats offering suicides as a form of medical care to anyone not terminal or in constant physical pain and there's no treatments for...not to mention the new gun bill going into effect without any form of rebuttal as well as ending protests through authoritarian means as cutting your banking services off if you dare protest for a non-government sponsored protest...you guys are screwed with Castro part 2

Plus canadian government pay ppl to say your not a good parent. And take your kids away. And no mother can fight for them. After they been abused or sex traffricked. Were accused instead. You want kids dont have them here. That's why nobody is having kids

This is a disgrace . You people should stop this. Indians and even Kenyans will not shame their Country so much. Imagine one calling Nigera Trench ,your Father's land !!! Dont come back now continue to be a stranger in foreign nations. Most of this ones their parents are lonely, living pathetically alone in big houses.\nFor folks always sending their children abroad l have a little story for u. There was a man that celebrated his 70th birthday. None of his so called choldren graced the occassion. I don't think they came home till his last day. He has gone to his eternal home now, where l believe he will never be lonely again. So whats all this stress

why do people make the argument of 'knives shouldn't be in the university' if he wanted to harm someone he would bring an actual sharp knife concealed, people dont bring ak-47's strapped to their back if they wanna shoot a school they have it in a bag. Absolute dipshits.

Dont appreciate you saying Newfoundland AND LABRADOR when you don’t mention Labrador at all

its human nature folks, its like tempation you either act on it or you dont.

Some ppl need to be respect and here our government favors ppl from other countries. But doesnt give a dam about their own Canadian born ppl. And than others start the racial wars. They dont believe that their doing. Myself if immigrants only new the truth. They wouldn't come here. Trudeau only cares for china

I dont understand, homeless people aren't in the cities in other countries? I mean what are we supposed to do about it, except help them more?
