After reading a few of these comments, the main take aways are, there are a lot of immigrants, things cost more, healthcare is a mess and inflation.\nI am sorry that things are hard, the costs of everything are up everywhere in the world so good luck in gentrifying other nations and making your problems their problems.\nIt pains me to no ends that after things get tough in Canada many are ready to jump ship for better softer areas where they will trash the place with their incomes creating inequality there as well and then blaming the mess that they will create on the indigenous people that they will abandon for better pastures.\n\nAs a Canadian of native ancestry I never had it anywhere as good as many of the people here complaining about their middle class woes.\n\nMaybe if you fought for a change, like more housing to bring down the prices and fought corporate greedflation and gouging, realizing that much of this problem, the attack on the healthcare services, much of it being done by the conservative governments, then perhaps you would not be so annoyed with Trudeau.\n\nHe is not helping the housing problem by not building the 2 million new homes that he said he would but NIMBY people are making this difficult. They want the charm of a nice middle class feel to their neighborhoods but when it comes to housing, they don't want to build affordable near them and then they complain with their rents are too expensive or the costs of things too high. \n\nI can't say I feel much pity or empathy with most of the people complaining about their lots in life because as far as I can tell, many natives would love to have your problems but the best that many of them can do is to live in their own lands, homeless, even on their own reserves because there is just not enough housing. Yet when the prices of housing was going up, many homeowners loved it, even though it meant that the poor, the actual poor and not you lot, were stacked like firewood into smaller and smaller rooms with no AC so it was hot in the summer and freezing in the winter and the slum lords are having a hey day. \nThe actual first nations people are homeless and being killed daily and are arrested for being poor daily but you lot think you have it bad. \n\nSorry, when non first nations people say that they will leave Canada because its not how they remember it when they were kids and its worse now so they will jump ship to gentrify other nations, I just shake my head and hold open the door as you leave the nation and wonder at your arrogance and egoism.

Hey, I hope it is a consolation that you made a whole country a better place with your absence. So good job.

Hey @Alina McLeod on future video, could you do a video on #Saskatchewan, as whole? I've always wanted to visit cities in Canada. Like, Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Ottawa and Alberta.

Hey Alina, hope everything will get back to normal within next 5-10 years

HEY EUROPEANS IF YOU DONT WANT REFUGEE KEEP QUITE AND DONT INTERFER IN THIER POLITICS, DESTROYING THEIR REGIME AND UR ASKING WHY THEY COMING HAHAHAHA, LIGHT FIRE AND ASK WHERE THE SMOKE COMING FROM

Hey Vice 'reporters', take them to your own house. Be of use for a change.

Hey, Alina, please choose Bangkok, Thailand for your new home and we can meet one day soon! Fingers crossed that you'll choose my country!!

Gee, who could have thought that decriminalizing drugs, would only create a massive increase in drug use? But hey, keep voting for liberal policies, and eventually utopia will be around the corner…right?

Hey I wish you good luck Alina:) I can't blame you for wanting to leave. A lot of Americans (myself included), are feeling the same way about the US at the moment. Times are tough. I'm going to hazard a guess and say that you're moving to either Thailand, Vietnam, or Indonesia (Bali):)

I'm gonna have a guess and say it's either Japan or South Korea. I'm probably wrong but hey, wherever you're moving to, I hope it all works out for you. You only get one shot at life so live it while you can.

Hey Germany I am German by Heritage my family was from there but I was born in Canada they don't want me to work in Germany I am a skilled Tradesman they rather get from India and Turkey what a shame I would love to go the fatherland but the fatherland don't want me

Lookin for suckers hey

Hey! Phuck you CNN!! You stood behind this administration so you're part of the problem too!

The real issue is Canada is letting in the trash other nations that they no longer want. The people coming into Canada are the people who cant make it in their own countries. What makes you think they will stand any chance here? We need to let in skilled workers in industries that have demand instead of letting random non working people looking for hand outs because hey cannot make it in their country. The when they do come here, they cannot come to Toronto or Vancouver because they simply cannot afford it. Go where you are needed and stand a chance, the country is vast and in need of people outside of the metros

Hey man. I think that the 2 leaders of opposing countries, religions, “teams” whatever, they should meet, promising everyone is safe, promising to each other n keeping their promise, and they should have dinner or lunch, maybe breakfast. But they should face to face, share a meal and talk. I promise u that things would change for the better. We all should do this. There would be way less war, eventually none. Then, we build, because if u give a man a fish, he has one meal, but if u teach a man to fish, he feeds his family for life. Time to do this

Hey! I live in Edmonton Alberta Canada,population around 1.2 million. We have a huge awesome river and river valley that is utilized year round. There are non stop festivals, right now we have the Cari West the largest Caribbean festival in western Canada. Our tap water is amazing, my daughter rents the main floor of a renovated house that includes a garage for 1,400 a month. Gorgeous south side neighbourhood within walking distance to anything. Lots of imperfections as it is a big city and yes there is crime but it does not define what I do and where I go except possibly late at night. The cold in the winter is tolerable for the most part but that doesn’t stop any one from outdoor activities. Just put your warm clothes on and just get out there. I get fed up with winter when it drags on but all of a sudden we’ve been having record breaking heat this summer so I am looking forward to Autumn. We’re 4 hours from the fabulous Rocky Mountains and the wonderful city of Calgary is about an hour 1/2 from there. Alberta is my province and Edmonton is my home. The rest of Canada varies from one province to another. PS. We’ve travelled to various locations in the U.S. and were always treated well and enjoyed our visits, just sayin!

Hey, look. Another story purporting to be about Canada, but is just another story about Toronto and ignoring the rest of the country.

hey l am looking job in canada!!

How much of an ass do you have to be to not just be like, “hey, he’s with me” and move on with your life

HEY GUARDIAN, why aren't you asking the same question about the UK?

Hey Canada maybe we should need a visa to get here

Hey mis Clara thanks

Hey Americans. Remember when you used to give VISAs away so that fakeugees could land in New York and hop the border into Canada, at the rate of 50,000/ yr?\n\nWell payback is a biatch

Funny that a British newspaper would project that much by spotlighting another country. Hey Guardian, you should ask your own citizens first. Tommy Robinson has some excellent answers for you!

Hey Ukraine guy, why don't you protect your country but want to become a taxi driver in UK? ?

Hey, 50% of Canadian immigrants go to Quebec A small province! Why??

Hey guys lwts spend billions of dollars so we can accommodate immgrants of the future seems like a tough sell for any government

Hey, this video was straight to the point and informative! Thank you for this.. I’m a UK citizen planning on moving to Canada and I’m in the Marketing, Social Media and Creative field. Do you know any good recruitment agencies for this? ?

Hey Doug Ford, what are you doing to fix this mess?! Stop wasting time on reinstating LCBO bags and address this real nightmare for law abiding, taxpayer landlords!

Hey am also interested in getting a job in Canada

Hey, here's an idea, when they leave to go before Landlord and Tenant board, have your friends go in (by any means necessary) your Condo and dump their belongings out back by the dumpster.

Hey it's the plebs fault as always that rent is high. Yes yes it is. Y'all just aren't a faction that often.

HEY DEMS.....THIS IS YOUR FAULT!! FU

Hey, Remember when the Biden administration steered a bipartisan immigration reform bill, and it was looking like it was going well until Trump grabbed the wheel and drove it down a cliff? I do.

Hey look over here! (Just ignore those billions we're sending around the world to make war and profits.) It's terrible what they do to desperate people to foster chaos and hate. Washington is full of evil.

Hey Canadians, I'm an Aussie, will you welcome me if I immigrate?

Hey guys i live in nyc the majority of illegals come and go straight into crmie like selling drugs and underage prostitution especially in Queens i hope yt doesn't delete this comment but you'll see 13+ immigrant girls basically kids to older teens selling themselves on the corner and do anything else to have money, the parents are the pimps btw some are selling their kids to other families..........

Hey most of them will be driving Brand new expensive Vehicles in a couple of weeks! Just wait and see!????

Hey can you get your 9million relatives to leave with you? We’d like to have our country back now, thanks.

The government told people that there is a housing shortage AND let in a record number of new people. How are people supposed to react? Imagine if there was a famine and the leader said “hey, let’s go share our food with somebody else”. You can’t reasonably expect people not to react this way given the narrative that the government itself is putting forth.

Hey, 1,000,000 or so Canadians departed Canada for the US as a result of better wages and easily obtained NAFTA work visas. The best and brightest exported to the USA for 25+ years.

David, are you seriously thinking that you can save enough for trucking school in Toronto by working as an Uber driver? Are you serious?\n\nWhen I see people like him, I think they are crazy, for real.\n\nYou need to focus on getting your PR status and talk with an immigration lawyer or do your own research. Move to a different province if necessary.\n\nI am Ukrainian myself. I landed in Canada in 2021 and worked on a farm for almost minimum wage for two years. However, I got almost free housing and obtained my PR. \n\nThen I got a better job. There are plenty of jobs in Alberta where employers provide accommodation almost for free or completely free. The job may not be the best, but you can save money quickly. That's what I did. I worked another year for a sewer company, completed my trucking school, and now I have my Class 1. \n\nSome companies even pay for your trucking school, but you have to sign a contract for 1 or 2 years. They might not pay much, but hey, you'll get your Class 1. \n\nYou need to read more forums and talk with more people. Don’t just sit and wait for a miracle.

Hey guy just so you know is a new norm things nowadays if you dont like your country just simply pack and walk across any others country borders. Just like your house

Hey are you sure Lithuanian guy ( EU citizen with no Visa requirement) travel in woods from Canada to USA? You check your facts please!

Hey cash, Canadian here. We are well aware of what is going on in the states and Canada, unfortunately our prime minister is too focused on climate change and raising grocery prices to care about doing anything for the migrant crisis. We Canadians really really do wish that these problems could be resolved, but a swing in government will be the only way to solve it

Hey dummy, are you hoping your video will go viral and will get millions of hits, or more?! That’s why you’re putting all this information out there?! This is just going to be circulated amongst people trying to get in this country illegally! Smart move there bud! \nLet me ask you, what is the reason you’re putting all this negative shit out there? How about some positive shit! I live in the city too, and I have all my 69 years, and I really could use some positive shit at this point!\nHow about some “solution“ rather than all this negative hyper bole, even if it’s true!!

Hey, hey, give ‘em what they want. New York City wanted it, they got it. Enjoy. ???

Hey CANADA - please watch this video!

Hey, US ...get ready to receive your fair part of indians?

Hey Canada keep your own immigrants!!!
