RE: Canadian healthcare, my wife broke both her hips in 2017 in two separate falls, she was admitted immediately to hospital without delay and operated on the next day (half hip replacement), after physio and occupational therapy she was discharged and provided Homecare, 16 times per week plus weekly Day Hospital. Our cost for both operations was roughly $160.00 for parking spots for me so I could visit her and about $140 in Tim Horton doughnuts for staff. The system does not have enough of certain types of specialists thus wait times for those specialists, and there are wait times for elective surgery. The system has not really been reviewed since its inception in the 1960s but making significant changes is the third rail of Canadian politics and a hard look is justified after 70 years. Re: illegal crossings; The gentleman in the video has a problem in that the US and Canada have signed a “safe country” agreement and neither will accept refugees from the other as both Canada and the US are deemed “safe havens”. He crossed illegally, if he had crossed legally he would have been immediately turned back at the border but he clearly entered the country between border crossings and was likely arrested and released on recognizance but not returned immediately as the agreement is silent on illegal entries (yes, seems a touch strange). As many people are leaving the US for Canada the system is overwhelmed. Tent cities have been set up in Quebec and public housing used in Manitoba to house illegal immigrant pending processing - those with criminal records are held for deportation. Canada has accepted roughly 25,000 Syrian refugees from camps in that part of the world. These refugees were first vetted by the UN then Canada. These refugees are completely different from the people crossing the border illegally from the United States. This pales to the 75,000 boat people accepted after the fall of Saigon. Canadians have been generally accepting of refugees but wants the process guided by the rule of law. Immigrants are a separate from refugees and the rules governing their entries into Canada are different.

Laws are laws you seek asylum in the first safe landing not your choice of wherever whenever. Why then can I not leave Canada and go live in another country undocumented then when I fear deportation just go to another country? Because it's illegal yeah. Ugh we are not here to be used and walk all over like a doormat especially if you are not working and paying taxes but taking everything you can get. There are plenty of people in dangerous situations like ukrane and other war torn areas that legit need a place he and his family were already in the US they shouldn't have left there to make fake claims here. Sorry but that's not how it works.

So let me get this straight, an immigrant claims to be a refugee even though he isn't, skirted Canadian immigration officials and moved his family to evade the immigration hearing and now acts as if Canada owes it to him to stay.

Wonder how many more we can convince to send to Canada. Btw this guy has money

I had no idea there were so many victims in Canada. It just must be horrible there!

Canada is a cesspool...and this poor fella ended up in the prairies...

Welcome to Canada. We already have enough people struggling to survive here. It has to stop soon.

I would love to be a part of Canada..???

2:40 he says he feels rejected by another country. \n\nYou rejected your own country when you left El Salvador. You rejected America by refusing to learn the language after FIFTEEN YEARS. Now you reject Canada because it isn't bending over backwards for you.

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.

Well if Canada will take them ..better there than here .but I don't know the indigenous natives will appreciate that.

this guy looks hard worker . I don't understand why Canada acepts terrorists and people who go there and don't work for life some of them live from the tax of the hard working class.

Canada welcomes DACA?

I don't know why it is canada's fault ? don't get me wrong, I understand the struggle that they have to go through but thinking that crossing over and having a balloon saying welcome home when its not yours is being a little ignorant. and trust me if I could kick out the 25 000 sirian that our prim minister let in I would without a tears.

Canada is VERY VERY merit based don't get it twisted. It took my parents years to get a visa to leave Nigeria and come here, Canada is not some paradise, it's a country chances are if you can't get legal citizenship in the states, you'd be VERY lucky to get it Canada. Basically your chances are little to none.

Come to Canada ! The government will give illegal immigrants money for rent house, food and childcare expenses. Right at the spot. You don’t need to have a job, you can also be giving money to learn English and money for buses.

Ok you got me. I’m lying. I’m claiming to be from a country that I’m ashamed of and want out of. Canada or Australia are the logical places to go.

I've spent plenty of time in Canada and it is not as flagrant as the states but racism is EVERYWHERE.... They are much nicer in Canada but its hurtful that people won't face the problem but rather turn the other cheek.

If he regrets coming to Canada> Then he should go back >>

Hahaha canada realises how nice it is to have thousands of hispanics show up overnight.

If Mexico wasn't a drug hub and had more white people. They would be just like Canada. I swear

Man the natives get it the worst here, this coming from a black man's stand point. C'mon Canada you can do better.

did the muslims know they were moving into a country with laws with equality for women and men? the problem is with the muslims. they are feeling the same fears others are feeling. in the countries of Canada and the United States of America who has murdered more? the problem is feelings and the truth.

gang gang canada skeet

If you don't like Canada.. go home.. your real home.. simple?

Save Canada from this Islamic cancer before it too late.

Canada have to get off muslim

Gee I wonder why ? Oh, no I don't ! I would even bet if we started investigating the mosques in Canada we would find the same as the Mosques in France, Terrorist !!! Islam is NOT the religion of peace. Muhammad was only peaceful for 13 years and he only had 150 followers, that is when he changed tactics and started using warfare, caravan raids, murder etc,... it was only a matter of years before he had hundred and hundreds of followers. This is the truth. Muhammad had a psychological issue, like Hitler. Psychopathic and violent.

Canada needs to stand up immediately. \nDon't waist another second. \nEXPELL these monsters RIGHT NOW !!!

Canada, you are screwed. Just look at what happen to Europe. Do not let that happen.

DON'T LIKE IT GO HOME...GO BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY....LEAVE YOU ARE NOT WANTED IN CANADA OR AMERICA....

I know racism happens everywhere, but can a real conscious black person in Canada inform me on the kind if racism there?

I want to live in canada

I respect liberated muslims and they sure have the right to follow their faith but these hard line muslims have no place in CANADA look at what they have and are doing to this world, they can chant death to infidels but when others speak up they are racist fuck you

Canada I get it. You are super nice people, but if you can't recognize evil and are afraid to fight for your country you are going to lose it. And if you think Trudeau is going to lead the fight you are mistaken. He couldn't win a slap fight with little girl. He will smile as your country becomes the Meca of north America. Here's a thought experiment. Join, become a Muslim, announce it on Facebook. Then stand up in the middle of prayer time and say I quit.

What's the difference between Canada's leftist state run propaganda and Russian state run propaganda?\nIn Canada, when there are too many dissenting opinions, the comment section is more disabled than Stephen Hawking.\n#DefundTheCBC\n#SellTheCBC

Whenever I take a flight within the states they always let veterans and those who have served in the army board first which is fine by the way. I just find it interesting because we don't do that in Canada at all. Veterans get a special license plate and maybe a parade once a year?

sounds like canada has more in common with britain than usa, except britain is a tiny country

Better them than us. Think about it. Muslims as a majority in Canada. That would be much worse for Canadian natives.

Dont let these people In.prove how nice you are? Canada the good. It's Canada the Stupid!

Fun fact: Canada is taking in 25 thousands refugees. o.O

Canada is fucked, Muslims already took over some areas in Canada, and after the Paris attack by of course Muslims they wanna bring in 25,000 which they don't have the money to pay for these shit holes.

Very inspirational, for all men and fathers in Canada, regardless of race... thanks!

I find that with each generation, the issue with racism becomes slightly less and less, which is great considering slavery was abolished only for about 100 years. I find that living in Canada as a black millenial is much better then say living in the 70s. I never faced racism the entire time i grew up here. but then again I haven't been everywhere in Canada. I think the most you'll experience here right now is indirect racism in the small towns. but you just have to show them who you really are and most will be OK. I don't think a lot of the people still have the mindset left in the 1900s. especially not in the major cities where its so diverse. but there's racism everywhere no matter what you look like. I hope everyone can look past appearance and stereotypes some day.

Canada is a freedom country . Canada is not a sharia law country some muslins want the world Sharia Law .

If they go to an airport, do they have to take the niqab off? If they don't, its a security issue. If they can see our faces, why is it fair for them to look at us? The koran has been interpreted differently by many generations of people and is changing constantly. This religion is by far the most unstable religion. There is only one god, and to get there does not mean by having a book tell you what to wear and how you wear it. If you want to wear hijabs in a country that is christian, then live like them too. If your not happy living in Canada, then go to where you came from. We don't want you here if you leave that old country because it was shit. Don't come and fuck up our country.

There a reason why Islam is growing not just Canada, all Europe, America, Australia so on because it the truth, same message intact from Adam(pbuh) to Muhammad(pbuh)\n\nISLAM MAKES SENSE

I would like to know if these women have ever been to Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan? Your sisters in these places dont have the chance to speak freely, speak to other men. I would like to remind these girls where the hijab/Niqab what they aregoing through.\n\nIslam does not give privilege to women like you say... really look at what is going on outside of your comfort zone in Canada ans the west where you speak so freely.

Problem solving in Canada?...DEPORTATION NOW !

Well, this is bad for the UK. Hopefully we can do something in Canada before it happens as it does in every europe country. Oh wait, it has already started, someone save us :-/
