Why they all think they have to come over here and make our lives miserable? Why don't they go China or Japan or somewhere else

yOu BoMb....Muslims didn't not drop it Japan.

You should check out japan

You are singaporean, I've though you are from Japan

Excuse me, are you from Japan??

I visited Japan 14 years ago in Osaka. It's less lonely than Seattle by a lot.

I lived in Canada for 25 years. Spent time in SG and have lived in UK, now Japan. Most Singaporeans have very naive reasons to move from SG. Singaporean youth are disconnected from reality

Canada is piece of garbage. Not worth the cost wasted 30 years of life that I can't get back. Wish I was never born here Japan is the best nation on the planet asia is the future Canada is finished.

2:45 > Well DUUH, it's Scotland, they're WHITE. Are you going to Japan and say that there's too many Asians in power?

JT has already been costing us plenty and immigration basically is the driver of inflation above and beyond anything else above his ludicrous spending so he's costing us plenty my friend. Japan per capita debt-gdp is half of Canada and Tokyo is affordable with 37 million ... Japan's population has bee declining and apparently they haven't been investing for manufacturing high tech for probably twenty years ... slowing economies are okay but a fake economy by importing too many people is bad if your looking at the GDP of the country ... look at the per-capita-gdp instead peoples ... maybe that slid a bit in Japan but ours is getting worse faster it seems ... instead of the carbon tax they should probably be looking into manufacturing wind turbines for rooftops that are silent and maybe hydrogen cars or something ... JT has bad ideas & and bad ideas ... & more bad ideas ... he attends the WEF where foreign condo sellers attend ... it's just rich country politicians surrounded by really really rich people who want to sell condos ... JT is making it worse ... btw that WEF happens in Switzerland where they have anonymous Swiss bank accounts probably just down the street ... he couldn't possible be taking any bribes ... i would not put it past him with all the scandals ... embezzlement & cronyism ? maybe ? is he taking bribes ?

I've lived here my whole life! I've never liked it, and it's only got worse. When I went to Japan I was treated with more kindness, and respect more than Canada! I'm a recording artist, and there are no opportunities to succeed where as America and Japan have more potential for the music industry where as Canada is dead when it comes to the music business! Add in the fact my main source of income is disability from traumatic abuse. It's next to impossible to live, and manage any financial situation here unless you rich already!

this country is unrecognizable - massively declining productivity and GDP per capita. Mexico just overtook Canada as largest US trading partner. We are absent on the international stage and military woefully underfunded. We refuse to sell LNG to Japan, Germany etc. The experiment of unfettered unskilled immigration leaves us as one of the fastest growing countries in the world and now deemed to be in a ‘population trap’ where infrastructure is overloaded and close to collapse. Poor Canada, it’s demise was so quick and swiftly enacted by recent government’s self sabotaging policies. our intergenerational wealth is being squandered by the huge burden of debt.

Send them to Japan to help spur growth and multiculturalism which is lacking for a G7 country

World's second economy was not in Japan?

I guess they're not going to kill him after all for not doing his job , how backwards we are in listening that this man is a communist ! When China has never gone to war with any countries, but the United States has. And even though the U.S has blamed other for nuclear warheads, they are the only country to have dropped the bomb twice in Japan

Became PR last November, as soon as I become a citizen we are leaving to Japan or US.

I think that the way for less immigration Is that Canadians have more babe's. That's the only way because If not the population pyramid with turn and the less young population will have to work for the majority of old population like the crisis that South Korea and Japan are now. Thank you.

If Japan have out free stuff they’d all go there \nJapan don’t want them

If high levels of immigration is needed, how is it that Japan has virtually no immigration & the 4th largest economy in the world & very few natural resources as well?

I was born here and have plans to leave. A friend born in France moved here two years ago and just left this month. Another friend from Japan is trying to find somewhere else to live. Canada is not the paradise people think it is.

The Government of Canada acknowledges that some immigrants will eventually permanently leave the country. In this business dynamic, the government and temporary immigrants are engaged in a mutually beneficial game, with only those who desire to settle and establish roots sacrificing their standards of living. These individuals are often victims of the system. However, it's important to recognize that every country has its own strengths and specialties. Japan and Germany are renowned for their industrial prowess, Italy and Thailand for their vibrant tourism sectors, while Canada stands out for its immigration policies. Interestingly, Australia has maintained a certain distance from this complex situation.

Its not a demand problem, its a supply problem. Having restrictive building regulation and zoning will do that. Look at what Japan did to keep costs from exploding

Watching from Japan, this September 2024.I will go to Toronto to study. Goodluck to me?

Japan is best

This has nothing to do with immigrants, China, the US, Japan, etc. have a higher population than Canada and are smaller in size. Complaining about issues won't solve them but just makes it worse. Out of my own experiences, I believe the Canadian policy makers should step up on major issues. \nReal estate, health, evaluating skilled immigrants, monopolism, and inflation. \nThey can't blame 1.5 million newcomers for problems of 38 million people.

If she’s with an ACTRA approved agency, she would be auditioning for gig. Clearly her resume from Japan didn’t fit in. I had a huge resume from HK, but it took some adjustment. Then again I was 19 when I moved here and it was easy. \n\nShe says we have a slow industry but we made great money ?????

My gf lives in Japan, and I’m definitely moving there as soon as I’m done college.

The cold is the reason 80% of Canada is empty also Japan is worst off than Canada

The lesson here is he learnt a skill in the process and this skill is transferable to any nation including here in the US. Yea Japan was his lunch pad but if he didn’t position himself he wouldn’t be where he is. Great video you have a new sub.

Canada is no longer a country but an economic zone. Just a bunch of people living in the same place. Every study on the issue says the same thing. The more homogeneous the population, the more cohesive the society.Just look at Japan and Korea. This is all part of the WEF plan to destabilize the West. Cause the fall of the nation state and place us under the control of the globalist cabal.

We can make homes like Japan or have cubicle homes.

As if it was any different in any country ??‍♀️ I live in Japan and it's the same crap here.

You were in a privileged position in Japan as a blonde white lady.

Indians are most blends with the culture and customs of any migrating country! Naturally they do not have any agenda like others like communists, Islamist or Christians or any religious duties etc. This is the one of the main reasons Indians shine and successful wherever they go and perform best, loyal and real Value to host countries. Communists steal technologies and other secrets and export to their country, some come in the name of peace lovers and multiculturalism but they do not like native people and their culture and want to make host countries of their own and make the natives as kafir/slaves. Any country that needs people should welcome and foster Indians to benefit, progress and peaceful co-existence! Western countries, Japan, SK population are fast declining and madly accept any and majority of them are come to destroy the very foundation of their cultures, freedom and democracy - a fatal attraction, may be because of their past colonial Karma to pay their prices! Indians - particularly those who follows native faith & culture are very smart, patient and very tolerant - may look simple and failing but they are the one going to rule the world with their brain, ahimsa and hard work!

Without question, best public transportation in the world is Hong Kong -- MTR, ferries, trams, cable car, light rail system, taxis, etc. It's so safe here, you can even walk! Please don't compare our public transportation system to Singapore, Japan or Germany. There's no comparison.

I lived in Western Europe, Japan and at the moment, Canada. I lucked out getting a well paying job in Vancouver when I moved back a few years ago and my average tax rate is actually the exact percentage you stated in the video - 28%, which includes income tax, pension and employment insurance. I'm actually doing better in terms of quality of life now but I do miss being able to travel around Europe for cheap. (e.g., quick train ride to Paris for the weekend) Now, I take cheap flights (e.g. Flair Airlines) to Mexico instead.\n\nJust to state some data points: when I was in Europe, I paid a total average of 39% income tax on a lower salary than I have right now in Canada. Things like utilities (e.g., gas/electricity), restaurants, certain grocery items and electronics (e.g., iphone/PS5/computers) were significantly more expensive because European VAT (inclusive) is usually 20%+. \n\nI don't have the exact numbers but on average I believe I was paying 70 - 90€ ($100 - 130 CAD) just for electricity each month for a small flat, but I am now paying $30 - 50 CAD for a decent sized 1 bedroom. I believe my housing gas bill was about the same or possibly a bit more. In addition, automobile gas prices were much higher (about $2€/L on average which is $2.90 CAD/L) and I think they could go even higher right now. \n\nHowever, rent is definitely more expensive in Vancouver, but I believe that is true for many West coast cities in North America. Right now I'm paying $2300 CAD a month for a 1BR, and I split that amount with my partner. In comparison, it would have been about €1300 ($1900 CAD) for something similar in the city where I was living previously. In a more expensive city (e.g. Amsterdam) a 1BR would easily cost €1800+ ($2650 CAD).\n\nFor me, the difficulty of making friends in my late 20's stays about the same. I think it is difficult to make new friends after graduating from school, and you have to put yourself out there by joining groups and events. (e.g. Meetup or volunteering?)

I had major problems finding a job, even as a waiter, when I moved from Germany in 1990. I was so depressed. When I saw the poverty on the east-side of Vancouver I was shocked. Now 30 yrs later I see videos of the east-side and I cannot believe how worse it got. I am glad to live in Germany and Japan!!!!! Thank god!!! I have the money now to rent a motorhome in Canada and travel around for 4 weeks there, because I have money and time to do that. No way to do that as a regular canadian.

Name a city that doesn’t have its faults. My friend is from Japan shes came to Toronto the last two summers and she loves it and wants to move here. When I travel I always get a warm fuzzy feeling when I return. Again it has its problems but I love Toronto. Theres so many people moving here if some want to leave here for greener pastures awesome!

still, Toronto is a lot safer and better than the USA, Latin America, Europe, and Asia, Of course, it is not like Japan or Singapore but the immigration crisis is everywhere and worse. can be a cleaner, can be cheaper, working as a waitress and expecting to live downtown does not add up. it just reminds me of when I used to work in a motel, I paid for a motel room and expected 5-star hotel.

Why do people seemed surprised by all this? I could see this written on the wall 25 years ago...hence i was left. I own more than 10 properties in Japan vs I couldn't barely afford one in Canada...a giant fuck that shit.

I lived in Toronto from '95-2000, 2003-2004, and finally from 2010-2019, and watching its slide has been terrible. But I'm old enough to remember what it was like in the late '70s when it was still functional and people had no yet become miserable. It's astonishing what greed and stupidity can do. Having lived in Calgary and on both coasts as well as Australia and Japan (where I'm on my second stint) I now see Canada as no longer designed as a home for citizens but rather a holding pen for the fleecing of inmates.

Born and raised in Van...23 years..have been in Japan 24 years. There is no question where is better. I will never move back to the ponzi scheme called Canada.

I think things might get better when we have our new common sense PM, the current one is just so incompetent, I will for sure leave this place if he gets re-elected in 2 years. But looking around world, can anyone suggest me a non-third world country with high income, reasonable cost, good education and decent climate, preferably English speaking. No Japan please, my husband holds Japan PR, but I will never consider moving there, too scared of earthquakes ?.

I've been living in Toronto for 2 years, and I would say Toronto is one of the most overrated cities. I'm from Japan, Osaka and lived in Tokyo awhile as well. I lived in San Jose and Seattle for a while. I'm convinced that Toronto is the worst city TBH or probably Canada is perhaps not as cool as people expect. People say Canadian health insurance is pretty decent compared to American health insurance, but I think Canadian medical system's getting broken, and sooner or later it's gonna be like American medical system unless they pay extremely high taxes.

Unfortunately I was born there and wasted 23 years of my life there...but I made up for it spending the last 24 in Japan. God works in mysterious ways. :D It's just fucked up that I own 13 homes in Japan and even if I sold ALL of them, I could probably barely afford a DUMP in Vancouver...or maybe just an old condo. But yet somehow propaganda says how expensive Japan is..and how great Canada is. Fuck that shit. The West's propaganda is just messed. Thank God I broke free from that. I can barely handle a 2 week vacation when I go back to visit family. :(

I was born and raised in Vancouver, but never felt like i fit in. I also hate winter. Moved to Japan 24 years ago and have never looked back. Now I own 13 properties here which is something I could never imagine in Canada. Canada is a ponzi scheme. I recommend Malaysia for you.

Because it's an overpriced ponzi scheme. I left 24 years ago to come to Japan and have never looked back. I own 13 properties here in Japan and EVEN if I sold all of them...I couldn't afford a house in Vancouver....maybe just one run down dump. lol

Coming from Japan, especially Tokyo, back to any other city, will be anti climatic. Same just happened to me but TO is still a pretty good city.

I hope you both find a safe place in the world to live\nI would probably stay away from China given the current climate of hostility toward Taiwan , which will draw in the U.S.\nI would stay away from Japan for 2 reasons, number one being it's geological instability with the number of serious earthquakes and floods\nnumber 2 being that North Korea keeps lobbing ICBM's over Japan a few times a year\nI would stay away from South Korea, given the rising tensions with North Korea, this could be a potential hornets nest of trouble\nI would Probably stay away from much of Europe given rising tensions with Russia is another potential hornets nest

Western Nations are in such a massive decline. You're better off in Singapore or other parts of Asia like China, Japan, Korea. Taxes and cost of living is high. Massive immigration also ruined those Western Nations.
