Why would he record himself and upload it? He knew that everyone will hate him. Is that a „look we have a lot of racist and need more laws“-video? I do not understand it. Maybe that is how north american people are? Are they like this? I know that chinese people be like this. I see it everyday in bangkok. So you north american people are same?

The black guy with the new truck knew the laws but doesn't know how to pay rent what a shame and the girl who's owning 41 k they should put in the system so after she got evicted nobody can rent her not even a car

That is terrible! My dad went through the same thing, but during covid. The tenant knew that with the crisis of covid, my dad would not be able to get rid of him so easily. Took my dad 2 years to finally get him out. He Owed 20,000 to my dad smh

Ms. Alina Mcleod , i knew you are in the Philippines and some other countries. Is Canada failing you ?

American here. I knew a guy who actually moved to Canada 8 or so years ago, absolutely convinced that it was better there. I wonder how he's doing...

Canada is just as backward as the United States! Who knew?!

Thank you for making this video. I have heard these exact words from so many people lately you are not alone. The Canada we once knew and grew up in has changed significantly, not for the better I fear. Were I your age I would consider leaving but I am aging and picking up and leaving is a little more daunting than it may have been 30 years ago. Follow your heart and I look forward to your commentary and wish you luck and good fortune wherever you land. I follow your travels on Instagram and I admire your tenacity and sense of adventure.

I knew a guy in Kerrville Texas in the 80’s who rallied here to the US because of the tax burden. He was really pissed at Canada

He prepared this answer well in advanced because he knew the question would be coming!

I was born in Sudbury in 1973 and we moved to Ottawa shortly after. Growing in Ottawa in the 80's were the best years of my life. I obviously didn't know that back then! Nowadays, there's not a week in Ottawa without at least more than one shootings. The houses our parents bought in the 70's for $35000 are worth now more than $600000... I sincerely don't recognise our society anymore. It's almost as if all that we knew back then is gone! I'm really sad for today's teenagers and young adults. I really wish we could go 40 years back!!!

I knew perfect German and didn't feel welcomed, so it's not the language, it's racism

i knew a romanian doctor who decided to leave germany after numerous racist incidents with the native germans. it got so bad that he almost refused to treat other ethnic germans....they never learn do they

You are not leaving Canada but rather Canada left you. The Canada you knew and loved is history. I am going to Ukraine where I hope to make a difference, just like the starfish on the beach story. Good luck to you.

You have to have travelled a lot of countries before you can appreciate how good Canada is. Ive been away for 3 yrs now in some 10 different countries have to say Canada is still my favourite if I was a younger person , hungry and motivated to succeed. It just didnt suit me anymore with a family lifestyle and travel , that I moved overseas. I knew grass wasnt always gonna be greener , its all about the tradeoff. It didnt suit me anymore at this point in time, but it was for 40 years, thats a double lifetime for some. Like you said , Im glad of what Canada has me me become and taught me everything that I know in life.

Many of the students (if not most) knew documents were being falsified to even get them here. This is major fraudulent activity and many Canadians, from India, are straightforward and clearly tell that this is happening regularly. I do feel sorry for the few who were lied to.

I worked with a Pharmacist who Escaped Canada almost 20 years ago, now he wanted out for Tax Purposes , he definitely was not a Typical Canadian and he probably didn't see this Coming, he just wanted to keep a Much higher Percentage of his Check and knew from his Parents that would never happen in Canada

Alina, this video is a clickbait, haha!\nYou can tell us where you're moving too while you wait for the visa.\nIn many ways I agree with your assesment about Canada, and living here.\nI came here at the age of 14 with my Mom (Dad came here three months earlier), in 1970.\nWas a great place for a long time.\nEssentially, it started to go downhill back in 1998, I think, during the first market and real estate crash.\nI found myself without a job (architect by profession), went tback to school for some additional courses, graduated, then looked for\na job. No hope in hell!\nEnded up in Abu Dhabi, and Cayman Islands.\nMy parents brought me to Canada to give me a better life, as well as for themselves, and now I have to leave it to survive.\nWTF?! Broke my parents heart.\nEventually came back to Canada, as my pareents were still here, getting old, and sickly.\nMom passes away first, then dad a few years later.\nGot married, moved to Montreal from GTA - don't move to Quebec, it sucks!\nCost of living here is impossible, and it's getting worse every year and every month.\nHealth care is awfull. Language discrimination in Quebec is terrible.\nI want to move to Croatia, but wife does not.\nIt's part of EU, and Schengen group of nations too.\nWe lived there for over eight months. Got a family doctor in less than a week over there. Same with various\nmedical specialists. We'd fill a large shopping cart with food over there for about $100.\nWent to Costco a couple of weeks ago, and it cost me over $500 to half-fill one up here!\nWhile there, we had across the EU health care coverage.\nI drive one hour outside of Montreal to Cornwall, Ontario, and I have no health coverage.\nHave to buy travelers insurance to drive to any other province in Canada.\nTotally ridiculous.\nHomeless people in a small town just east of Toronto, where I lived before. was a nice little place.\nNow, it's a dump with unfortunate people sleeping outside on the main street.\nWhat's happened to Canada that I knew once?\nLong reply, but had to vent.\n\nGood luck, Alina.

I intend to leave at my retirement, in 5 years. I've been prepping since 2014, as I knew this would happen. People are still not understanding what is happening, even those watching this. Start watching finance videos... Things are about to get very bad, and I say this in 2024.

I never knew Henry Cavil was the Saudi FM

It's the Gov't, the weak, non-enforcing Gov't of Canada. I reflect back to highschool, we had teachers we knew we could push..... goof off and talk back to and then there were teachers, everyone knew, don't mess with, that had a zero tolerance policy. Our country is obviously the 1st example, you'll never see this happen in China, anyone/everyone that goes there knows, don't try and play the system, don't push or they will push back....AS IT SHOULD BE.

its so ridiculous to try an reframe it as a lack of housing having beem built \n\nif you knew there was a lacl of housing built why are you bringing in so many people??? \n\ndo the supply reforms first and then allow demand dont create demand and then hope supply shows up

I don't think I really want to know how much it's costing born and raised Canadians to support the immigrants that are coming. I knew that we were in trouble back in 2009 when Ruby Dhalla wanted immigrant seniors to be able to collect from the canada pension plan after three years, instead of the ten years.

I saw the video headline and it looked interesting. However, as soon as I saw it was the guardian, I knew we weren't going to get a honest telling of the opposition side. The video turns into a puff piece for the Trudeau's naive beliefs on diversity.

If you knew a realtor with a Rolex and living in a shed that’s on their stupidity. Housing is hard, it’s not impossible. If you have $10k for a watch you can find an apartment.

This is islamophobia channel.....but i think Islam is the best after I knew about

I came as an engineering student in 1999. Visa students were not allowed to work outside the university. I knew i had to focus on grades and find whatever work on campus. At the time I envyied Canadian friends working during summer but i focused on school and campus work. Problem now is students are coming to work and studying part time. My aim was education not immigration. I met my wife and stayed. Sad to see the Canadian state now..immigration when controlled brings in cream of the crop....now we get anyone and everyone ?

I am a renter who has been evicted before because of a somewhat questionable N-12. I didn't fight it because I knew I would lose in the end. However, if I had fought it I would have still payed my rent. Always pay your rent.

Amazing that the Brits voted for psycho starmer when they knew his history

You knew the risks renting it out. You hoped it wouldn't happen and it did. You made the bed, sleep in it.

Toronto is not the city I once knew - we are failing to protect and set up new infrastructure and people are suffering

I KNEW IT WAS A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THIS HAPPENED

In a nut shell, irresponsible goverment allowing way too many people when they knew full well the housing wasnt up to par ans after the fact making all kinds of false promises about affordable housing, the liberals have really f...ed this up!!!

The problem is the type of people the government is bringing in. I'm an immigrant myself, living here for 20 years, and I remember the ton of paperwork I had to submit to prove I'm worth contributing to Canada's growth and economy. Today the government is only interested in bringing in criminals, refugees, low quality - low wage workers who won't contribute a dime to Canada's economy but become a burden on taxpayers. This mindless immigration has now caused exponential increase in crime, and poor productivity in Canada's economy. Canada under JT is not the Canada I came for, and the Canada I knew when I first landed here.

She did not bathe him this is all propaganda already questions they told her what to ask him and he knew what he had to answer it was all pre-arranged this is all propaganda fake news

I am a permanent resident of Canada and born in the US. I live right outside of Montreal. I actually went to Plattsburgh, NY three times in past two months and each time while on my way back from Plattsburgh, I would encounter several migrants at the bus stop shown on the video. In one of my encounters I saw a group of them wearing ankle monitors. I would see vans standing at the gas station picking up and dropping off migrants. These drivers are helping the problem just to make money. I just heard on the news that greyhound changed the bus stop in Plattsburgh a couple of weeks ago and I wonder if it's because of the illegal migrants. I have been going to Plattsburgh by bus for many years and I've never seen migrants inundate the area as I have in the past year. I knew about Mexicans flying over to Canada so they can walk across the boarder into the US but I didn't know it was this bad. I don't see this problem going away unless Canada works with the US to solve it. It's getting scary out there because there are criminals who has committed serious crimes in their home country and come here on a clean slate to continue their criminal activity. When does this torture end?

Amazing it took this long to figure it out. El Chapo was running drugs down thru Canada for decades. Heroin to Seattle and Cocaine to Chicago. The Jamaicans, Dominicans, and Puerto Ricans ran drugs to the East Coast through Canada for years. Just before weed was legalized, everyone knew the best weed was coming from british columbia.. The government is letting this continue because the blacks are trying to breed out whites in America. That's why black guys keep impregnating white girls and not bothering to father the kids. This has been a strategy by black leaders since the 1980's. White people are letting hispanics flood the country to maintain a european majority. Since, Spain and spanish people are european. What appears to be a problem is actually a solution.

I can’t even watch YouTube without Kamala begging for donations. Meanwhile our country is being flooded thanks to her none action at the border. I live in Texas and as a millennial I knew it was a problem 20 years ago, the rest of the country is finally seeing the bs the southern states have had to deal with

As i was once told.... its no one's fault but theirs... not a humanitarian issue, they knew the issues

So I got stuck in nyc from Rome to San Diego due to the crowdstrike outage. saw people I served notice to appears on a random street in Times Square. I knew it was Colombians and the bike rack was the give away. It was in front of a sanctuary Row hotel. ???? I feel sorry for yall.

WHAT I knew we had a lot but that’s crazee. Trudeau and his ndp liberals let in one million more illegals than they knew about until they signed up for benefits, schools and healthcare and they are still letting in more plus the wives the children the parents and in-laws.

You know Biden and kamala opened the boarders like this cause they knew Trump was gonna win and have to work of getting them all out and building the walls the government are some crooked criminals who don't care about their own people's well being

I have a Theory: Democrats and The Current Brandon Administration knew they were done for elections this time. They invited these Yetis so the incoming Republican Government will have all the trouble to deal with this and wouldn't be able to do anything else!

Not sure if you knew. Bit for the past 7 yrs Roxham.rd in Quebec was allowing immigrants to enter ..they even built a building to process them. Look it up!! Air view doesn't show building on Google maps. But you see it on ground view.

The United States, as we knew it, ended when covid hit... the great world reset

it's always been an easy border to cross and americans living north always knew that

better the devil you know (knew) .....smh, cant believe i'm going to say this, i'll word it like this, out of both these two, Rishi was the 'less worse one'

They letting them pour in because they the only votes Kamala wants, absolutely disgusting. America is not the free country we once knew with them letting this happen! Trump 2024 please save our country from burning in flames ?

Undocumented immigrants flooded into all Western Countries, Cabal plan to socialize, life as we knew it is over, imho

It’s something beautifully familiar about all this. If only I could think of another race of people that did the same thing ? New York? if only I knew the entire history of the city. ?

Freeloaders Enjoying their Stay from the Sweat of the Taxpayers ! WAKE UP AMERICA, THESE PEOPLE AREN'T HERE TO GIVE US A HELPING HAND, THEY'RE KILLING OUR COUNTRY AS WE KNEW IT !!!??
