I really hate to say, but I'm glad that I made it out of my country because of the economy crisis.\n\nI'm currently living in Mexico now for a new life. I'm happy about it, but I do really miss my old routines that I do back in Montreal...\n\nIdeally I do want to go back to work 9 to 5 job while looking for my professional career as a video editor and videography... But the result is just impossible because of how expensive it is. Not just for paying rent, but debts, monthly phone bills, credit card payments, all the crazy shit that make your head explode.

Canada hid its inflation in the housing market for a decade. The economy appeared to be growing, and real wages appeared to be staying in line with the consumer price index, but it was smoke and mirrors. If you removed real estate, GDP was stagnant. Wages were actually falling behind and people getting poorer and poorer without realising it. That’s finally become unsustainable, and inflation is showing up everywhere. And the wages are still stuck. The country is sitting on hugely valuable resources it could develop had it not put so many self-created political barriers in the way, and having indoctrinated their population about it along the way. Separately, The healthcare system is getting worse, consistently ranking 2nd last in the OECD in terms of real results delivered. The biggest problem is that the country’s economy is built on immigration to drive growth, rather than productivity, efficiency, or innovation. The more people you bring in, the more housing you need, but they’re at the point that they can’t keep up and people can hardly afford housing anyways. It’s a recipe for disaster. I left Canada by coincidence, having met someone from another country and moved there. I’m glad I left.

There was always labor shortage. I am glad government is finding a resolution! People in Canada don't like to work!

amazing man, full of nothing but honesty, glad someone’s got the balls to stand up against these brainwashed second class citizens. Good job man! ❤❤

i'm glad my fellow indians are coming back to india. canadians should also be glad.

Wow ! \nHis words are very clear ! \n\nIt is Glad to see when the arabs speak in English so that all people from all over the world can understand.

Well I’m glad someone is saying it lol

Indians shouting in comments also the same ones would gladly loose their indian citizenship in exchange for American?

This dude is a lame, he should be glad he had the right person

I am sure glad I didn’t move to Brampton 45 years ago, like I had planned to.

Lived on Brampton since '74 and its so different now. Just go to BCC mall...so glad i got out of there.

Why aren’t the rich Muslim nations putting their money where their mouth is. Palestinians have been monetarily supported for 50 years by mostly US & German money…the west would gladly leave the area if someone else would put money n troops as peacekeepers, but they never will. Egypt will continue the blockade as they have always done. Unfortunately, no one in the Arab world ACTUALLY cares, money is the proof(Saudis spend the most on Palestine and it’s minuscule)

They will take over Canada, it’ll take time but it’s going to happen. And all in a bid to get re-elected, one person should not have that much power…and basically destroy what was once the envy of the world. It’s hard to watch unfold…the level of disrespect, arrogance, ignorance and rudeness from many (not all) is hard to stomach. Just glad I was raised in the 70’s/80’s…such a great era !!!

Many people might ask how the Liberal government issued so many study and work visas to young Indians, who don't have any particularly outstanding qualifications. It is because they allowed colleges to accept students and some of these colleges were created for the sole purpose of collecting high tuition fees, which wealthy Indians gladly paid for as it gave them a chance to live in Canada and apply for permanent residency. Trudeau (like Harper, incidentally) wanted to win Brampton and the surrounding areas so as to be able to form a government. These ridings could easily flip to Conservative, unlike others in Quebec or BC. Voters in these battleground areas were believed to be willing to vote Liberal, if they could have some representation in Ottawa, especially in cabinet. Even as a member of this diaspora, I think courting this population like this was a huge mistake. \n\nIn the post-war II period, the immigrants that came from Canada, were highly qualified, scientists, engineers, architects -- you name it, that had jobs waiting for them at universities and tech firms. If they were students, they came into Ph.D. programs fully supported with stipends. This generation helped Canada tremendously and made Canada a leader in crop science and microbiology research, just to name an example. Today, many here on student visas are working at Tim's or delivering Amazon packages, or even driving trucks without proper training.

What I don't understand is that how can you say LeBron is better than Michael? I always liked Kobe, had that killer instinct. Rasheed Wallace and those pistons were a fun team. I'm glad Reebok still sells the Allen Iverson shoes.

You got it , Canada is done . Trudeaus impatient need for constant growth has finished it . I am so glad we chose not to have children , the party is over folks..

Glad i'm old and got to live thru Canada's glory years .

Glad I'm in America

It used to be a nice city but I’m glad I left.

Glad I wasn't the delivery guy, he'd not have a head.

Man...glad Pierre wants to slow down mass immigration ?\n\n\n\n\nWait, sorry that's Bernier...my bad ?

My family lived outside of Brampton when I was 10 years old in 1975. We used to visit the local mall to shop and my brother and sister and I all took swimming lessons there.\nWhat a culture shock it would be to go there now.\nI'm so glad my family moved to Alberta in 77'.

So glad i have more yrs behind me than in front.

I grew up in Malton (borders Brampton) in the 1980's and it was all Western European and Canadian folks and it was great. Such a sense of community and everyone knew everyone. Us kids would stay out until the street lights came on and played in Parks. It was really safe. We moved away in 2006 because the area had gone such down hill by 1999 and the crime was horrible. Stolen cars, alcohol and drug abusing Punjabi folks and the domestic partner violence of the Indian men beating the crap out of their wives was insane. (I had a friend that was a Peel Region Police officer who ended up leaving because she couldn't take seeing it any longer). I have nothing against Immigration, because my dad was an immigrant, but I do have a problem with the amount of any one country we let in, and the types of people that we let in that contribute to crime and area degradation. It's so sad the slums that have become in Brampton and Malton since we left. I'm glad we got the heck out of there when we did. I feel sorry for all those that are stuck there still. Furthermore with such an influx of immigrants into one area it has driven the house prices and rent through the roof because the pace of immigration was nowhere near the housing starts, and cities think that everyone needs to be packed in like sardines and when you have that many people living in close proximity and you have such expensive living costs it's a disaster waiting to happen and it brings along with it tons of crime and drugs. The Trudeau government really messed up this country and the GTA Cities like Brampton are a shining example of that. It's sick that we pay as much as we do for government at all levels that are this idiotic. It's time we protested in the street and made the government at all levels fear the public again or it's never going to change.

Guys Pierre Trudeau started this mess allowing immigration from these freaking countries and now this invasive non peaceful species is ruining Canada… In 50 years from now Canada will have completely lost its identity.. Glad I won’t be around to witness it…

be glad it's Indians. you will see Brampton become a better place as a result of them. I love Indian people.

I’m done being kind to my Timmy’s cashier, \nI will make her/him repeat what they say, what they ask, I will make them wait for my COMPLETE ORDER!!! \nIf you WONT speak basic English, you don’t belong in a Timmy’s window, \nSo frustrating!!! \nSame with PSW’s… or should I say Wanna-be! \nInternational students/ business owners are taking over in facilities \nLittle respect for our elderly, speaking in their own language in front of clients, phones out talking with family, \nIt’s embarrassing \nLack of basic skills is putting our elderly at risk, \nWhen I have to stop the basics of where to place straps for a sling lift because he/she has them wrong/ twisted, and the response? It’s okay’ \nNo!!! It’s not!!! \nI’m glad I’m at the end of my career, \nI’ll do my own MAID just to ensure I don’t end up in their care ?\nLazy, \nDumb\nDisappearing on shift to avoid work, \nI’m done!!! ?

glad this is being brought attention to, i live in a small town outside Ottawa and the influx of Indian is out of control. You see who owns the town if you shop around. spoiler, it's not Canadian born

So glad I moved up to northern Ontario.. what a mess Canada has become. Thank a liberal voter!

Glad someone said it. It’s insane.

Glad you're all having fun

In my opinion he will gladly burn the country to the ground so he can rule over the ashes.

I think this video generalize too much. It’s like this guy asked 3 person what they think about a whole country and made a video about it. I’m Canadian, I just bought a house for 100k. I graduated from college with 0$ student debts. I had back problems that are now gone and paid 0$ for it, and i absolutely never waited more than 2 hours at the hospital. I’m living in a peaceful community between mountains and the ocean. I totally love living in Canada and i legitimately cannot comprehend the hate about it. I worked in a lot of different Canadians cities with different communities and everyone has good things to say about our country. I travel a lot and when I see how life is elsewhere, I’m always glad to be back home.

I'm glad he stood up for his rights.

Glad dont live there anymore. Shocking.

I think Canada needs less commumism and more real canadian culture. When i moved in 3 years ago everything felt extremely artificial, confusing, and depressing. Like everyone was on the brink of going crazy. I am glad I came back to my country Italy.

Very realistic view on each province. All of these pros and cons really hit home and shed a realistic light on how Canada really is. I’m glad Ontario is not ranked the highest for the first time ever.

damn scrolled a lot and everyone is so depressed Oo glad to have chose a small city in northish Quebec guess its less bad around here. I really feel a lot of the issue is spread around the world densily urban population and service based économy. idk much but hey life is good in the countryside.

I'm just glad I dropped my Canada Immigration plan\n\nI was 100 percent sure 2-4 years about moving to Canada for a masters and a job

I'm a retired Canadian and moved to Colombia 6 years ago and life couldn't be better. My sister lived north of Toronto, sold, and moved to New Brunswick 2 years, but finds the cost of living unbearable, and is now moving down here as well in September. If you are considering such a move or are curious about it, drop me a line and I'll be glad to help.

I used to live in Canada, left in 2017 ...why? No opportunities, high cost of living, bad food, really bad weather and increasingly cost of living and also increasingly woke culture. When I first moved into Canada in 2002 it was much better at that time, Canada was THE dream...today its just sad what has happened to that country ...glad I left I am much happier now

This is Canada….. down the drain. Crazy. Glad you made this doc

I used post secondary as an excuse to get tf out of toronto and Im so so so glad I did. its just gotten so bad over the last few years.

Born here and sadly spent a few years homeless in Toronto after both of my parents died (orphaned) when I was younger. I remember being told I had to be at least 25 years old to get help from Streets to Homes in Toronto and was homeless at 17 with no living parents (orphaned). It wasn't until the beginning of Covid that I moved away and another city helped me get off the street in 4 months. Have my own wonderful place for the past 3 1/2 years.\n\nSo glad I never gave up, and so glad I never started drugs.

Canada is so freaking cold, those 6 month winters of dead trees, so glad I live in Florida

Glad I left this dump!

I’ve been saying this for years!! I’m sooo glad I’m not the only one thinking this!!

We have a job shortage, not a labour shortage. In addition to the international students, the liberals created many special immigration pathways, one of which issues to almost everyone in Hong Kong a 3year work permit followed by a PR giveaway. These Hong Kong people are highly educated and skilled, but some of them I met said it is very difficult to find a job in Canada now. They have to accept a junior position with 6 years of experience or even work a survival job. The reasons that keep them here are cheaper house price and can stay away from China and they are gladly being lowballed. Helping people is a good thing but I feel that our young people are being sold, I've heard from many of them who cannot find a job recently.

I will gladly pay more for goods and services if it means buying from places that staff our own people.
