Alberta #2.... LOL! Kidding right? \nThat would equate to Wyoming being the 2nd best place to live in the U.S. while having seasonal climate like Alaska without the mountains.\nAlberta's all good if you love 2 months of 'summer' known as 'Rodeo Season' followed by 10 months of sub arctic WINTER known as 'Hockey Season', wear only plaid shirts and jean jackets, accessorize your all denim wardrobe with a leather belt sporting a chrome buckle the size of a hubcap, your choice of footwear consists of hard and uncomfortable high heel boots with ridiculous pointed toes, wouldn't dare leave your home unless fully costumed like a casting extra in a B movie Spaghetti Western complete with a hat the size of bucket, while having dietary needs that are easily satisfied from both of the 2 known food groups of Beef or Wheat, and your 2 favourite 'cultural interests' are 'Country' & 'Western'. (Good luck trying to find a radio station that plays anything but)\n\nThe views are spectacular if you're keen on flat vast expanses of endless nothingness uninterupted by anything of interest other than petroleum industry related facilities, if that's your thing.\n\nBonus..... with the second largest indoor mall in North America... complete with waves and a beach so you never have to leave the province to go on vacation. Your kids can feign battle on a full size mock pirate ship or midget submarine, while Mom sip's pina colodas under a plastic palm tree beachside and watching shirtless cowboys wade ankle deep in the 'surf' while still wearing their 'Wrangler' branded jeans. Family content, Dad can strut down the mall concourse to find 'Whiskey Row' and select his favourite 'Saloon' to wile away the hours guzzlin' suds and swillin' whiskey to his hearts content, or until Mom's run off to get cowpoked and the kids are floatin' face down in an olympic sized wave pool with an artificial tropical south seas backdrop.\n\nNo worries about the future when Alberta's only industry of petroleum implodes. Alberta's plan B is to regain it's lost position of wheat exports now that the world has lost it's appetite for Russian toast. Your kids can look forward to lifetime employment of waiting for harvest while hanging out on a split rail fence sucking a wheat straw perpetualy held between their teeth until it's time to fire up the old John Deere tractor and drive straight lines for 40 days and 40 nights.\nSounds like Alberta's just short of heaven in the #2 ranked postion of best Provinces to live in Canada.

I am a 62 year old Canadian and I do believe things in North America were'nt always this way. I grew up in a semi-rural area. We knew who our neighbours were and knew a lot about them . In those days it was unnatural for kids to spend most of their days inside rather than running around the neighbourhood. Most people either were connected to a church or the Legion etc. There would be hockey , church dinners etc. That drew people together. Too much has changed but I don't think is consumerism alone that is the cause.

My friend, it depends on what you want out of your time in US. If you want outdoor life, there is plenty of it here, you just have to know what to do and where to go. If you have been indoors for 10 days and only gone out twice, then that tells a lot about your own self, not being an outdoor person. There are parks, lakes, amusements, beaches. There are facilities for hiking, walking, cycling, etc. I really think that you have not been exposed or you have not explored what is available here for outdoor fun. In the western world you can take your family out camping in the forest with the assurance that you will come back home safely. You can take your boat down to the lake for a day of fun with no problem. If you lived in most parts of Africa, and bought a boat, and started going to the river or lakes in the weekend, then the police commissioner, or military person who lives close to you will fabricate a reason to intimidate you and confiscate it. What I mean is in Africa, you run the risk of becoming a target once people see that you are an ordinary citizens who is doing well. Here, not like that.\n\nJust be happy that you are here and make the most of it. While you were in Africa, you dreamt about coming to America, now that you are here, all you want is to recreate Africa here. If Africa was good enough, no African will want to be here.

Here in America…. My neighbors run into there home when I go outside…. I’m standing outside within 15 feet of my neighbors and they put their head down without saying a word. \n\nThis is in a rich part of town… when I lived in the poor side of town people were more friendly.

America's GDP Is Running On Indian Google , Microsoft And Many More

ok the arabic girl she may be nice but. u guys allow dictator in office and when things get bad u guys run from your problems or want america to help u police u guys

Asylum? Lol. From America? Could never happen... to seek asylum you have to prove your life is in danger from the way a country is run or war...

Well i bet hes happy to be in Canada right now instead of in america with these lawless police unnecessary violence and blatant discrimination towards everyone . Not to mention a full on racist running the country . The most cases of corona virus

The rich elites who are running this country want Mexicans here because they are willing to work for cheaper wages than American citizens. It's all part of their plan to BROWN America and turn it into an empire of slave labor. Dont blame Mexican people blame the Rich greedy bastards running the show.. take the rich out of power and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!!

Stop saying that Muslims need to go back to their Muslim countries, GREAT IDEA but first leave their countries alone first, stop causing wars, financial crisis and other issues in their countries and all of them will happily go back to their so called sharia law countries and guess what????? we will have a major problems in running many different systems in our amazing democratic countries such as the medical industry, just a fun fact..... most of our physicians and pharmacists are actually Muslims also they are the core to so many sectors in N-America and Europe...... I really want them to make that big decision and go back to their home countries and serve their homes just so you all would UNDERSTAND how important these people are to us and why our governments are actually accepting them and even attracting them to come and live, work here but they will never admire these great humans just becouse they are Muslims (history shows that we were the haters and terrorists against them, they were always trying to protect themselves and their land from us) but again we never really learn from history.........

Causeway Bay Hotel owner needs to be investigated immediately. He's a walking fraud artist and abuser of disadvantage homeless women in America while he runs a hotel in Canada and suppose to live in Canada.

Run to America Canadians, run to America.

Freemasons & Islam are brothers. Shriners are high ranking freemasons who adhere to Islam. SO, if your country is run by Freemasons (ie. America) then guess what? Islam will be welcomed! And pushed into the mainstream! Satan --> Vatican --> Freemasons --> Islam --> antichrist

You know why America is so great??\nWe didn't run like pussies when shit got rough, we stood and fought to change it. Not run like them illegal wimps....we don't need a bunch of pussies that's not going to fight when called upon.

Bring that BULLSHIT sharia law to america so people like ME can show you french people how to shut that SHIT DOWN !!!\n if you ideologists were to run up on me with that STUPID shit with threatening and violent intentions, you will be visiting the I.C.U. unit of one of our american hospitals !!!

White privilege runs deep in North America.

The border patrols on the Canada America border says they are seeing more illegals crossing the north border into America at record numbers, we are being over run by all these illegals bankrupting social security benefits. Why does one anchor baby receivers $2,400 a month and the mother receives free everything even child care , why do they receive so much money for braking the law while Americans are homeless, you won't find a single homeless immigrant but hundreds of thousands of Americans are

Why people think China will rule the world when it's citizens want a better life in places like Canada and America. There freedom is imaginary in China. Most of the people there are living in poor and poverty lifestyle. They see the 300 million who are making it, while the other 1 billion are not. No freedom of religion, freedom of openness, freedom to be able to do what you want. The only thing people have to watch out from China is, if it explodes then the world will have to feed those 1 billion who are now presently on the last leg and if strive continues massive starvation that will be worst than what happen in North Korea. The dragon is running out of smoke and fire.

This is a CBC commercial for Trudeau's Liberals. So, they allow comments here on this story. Other less favorable Liberal stories by the CBC on YouTube, don't allow for a comment section. These migrants come from the U.S. when the economy there is booming...WHY? It makes me wonder if many of these migrants are the worst ones. America is the first choice of most immigrants, what are these migrants running from in the U.S.???

Run them all out of North America imams first

Former drama teacher turned Canadian Prime Minister... yes that's right his previous job was a drama teacher.... let's neglect the fact that he was a Member of Parliament for 5 years before running as PM, and that he had already quit being a drama teacher 5 years before becoming a member of parliament. But hey this is Tucker's show and and this is fox, the truth is not at issue here.\n.\nYou know what, America - send us all your illegal immigrants, we welcome them. We have a serious need for labour. I alone am looking to employ 2 people at $14 an hour and can't find anyone. As the illegals are granted stay (until their application is processed) they generally find work and get out of the shelters within 6 months.... That's how long it takes to get work here.... 6 months... and they are being snatched up by employers. As an employer you run the risk that you may lose them if they are not granted stay. Oh and they get full health care here ) not free though). Not bad for a socialist country huh?

Most of those countries in South America are socialist wonderlands. Maybe if they switched to Capitalism, they wouldn't want to leave. Venezuela used to not suck until they elected that socialist douche Nicolás Maduro. Now, the average Venezuelan has lost approximately 17 pounds because they are starving. They are hunting stray dogs and rats for food. One Venezuelan Bolívar now equals 0.000010 United States Dollar. That's what happens when a country turns socialist, you spend other peoples money until eventually, you run out. Those in power like Maduro and his lackeys stay well fed and in power while the rest starve.

so I just have one question... Why is it that black people are being followed in department stores? Think really long and really hard about that... Here in America it is because we have a huge problem with the black community feeling entitled and running through stores and just taking what they want ( flash mobs). The reason they are profiled isn't because of their skin color, it's because they are known, as a culture, to be Thieves who have been told they're entitled. that doesn't mean I believe that it's right, I just understand why people are leery of a culture that feels that it's okay for them to steal and take whatever they want. Nor do I believe all people with that skin color are part of that culture.

The issue is that the intending migrants and the general public are ignorant as to asylum law. The public think of asylum as some far reaching, grandiose humanitarian gesture- when the truth is that asylum laws provide an EXTREMELY LIMITED basis of relief. \n\nMerely coming from a dangerous country is NOT enough to win asylum, in the U.S. or Canada. A person must prove they are specifically persecuted, by the GOVERNMENT, because of some specific basis. A Central American claiming Central America is full of gangs and poverty, while true, is NOT a basis for asylum. This is why it's my personal belief that the thousands of Haitians making a run for the Canadian border have an almost zero chance of receiving asylum- ESPECIALLY after NOT living in Haiti for many years. \n\nIn spite of this, migrants still make these claims because it forces the country to go through a time consuming legal process, and is a way to buy time and prevent their deportation. Or perhaps allow them time to find a local job, continue their education, or have a child born in the country and then make a humanitarian argument to allow them to stay, even after losing their asylum case. \n\nThe truth is, unless a country holds asylum seekers in detention for the entirety of the process, it's a given that failed asylum seekers will NOT return to their country of origin, and will simply go underground.

Seeking asylum in Canada from America, a refugee from America. What he was running from was LAW and the chance of getting picked up and sent back to Mexico. He was NEVER a refugee he was an economic migrant and illegal alien and all of these people could have worked to make their country better and worth staying in. Obama wanted Democrats to have more voters.

The man said he gave an Attorney $15,000 dollars to secure his immigration. So, can I have a raise of hand's of those who have that available in their possession. People are missing that went hunting in America. Walk a mile in my shoes... Children are missing... The man I assume doesn't have a criminal record since I assume that the Canadian authorities have already run his fingerprints.. Spanish language isn't the same everywhere. The American slang Spanish isn't the same as the Spanish spoken in Argentina or El Salvador. In Mexico alone there are approximately 20 different dialects of the Spanish language. It's not the same.

I tal you so; remember when you arrive , you spit USA know you go to face the truth . I remember when you where in the church and thinking in Canada you can get the residence? Face it and run back to the states , make money illegally wile you can cause you will be deported ; and your wife I'm sure she is back in America. So stop blaming Mr Trump for your bad decision and good luck amigo.

Regarding the immigrant issues in America, I have a few questions.\n\n1. Is it really hard to get into another country legally?\n2. Why instead of running to another country, these immigrants did not focusing on making their country a btter place?

If I was South America I’d stay in my country, work & have as best a life as I could with what’s there. The American dream isn’t for non Americans to dream about or let alone Canada. Every country has its own issues you just need to deal with it, it’s better than running away to another place where your not wanted

You would have to be seriously blind if you can't see a war against Islam happening. People in Europe America and Canada's patience is running very thin with Islamic extremists and if Muslims don't stop their aggression and threats against nationalists then they are going to be on the receiving end of a terrible revenge.
