They would just escape to other Muslim countries and escape the war whats the point in staying with all the death and destruction. The true reason is these Arab countries dont like them in their countries. Why dont these countries give refugee to those Palestinians who would otherwise want to seek refuge. Waiting for western countries to offer refuge I suppose.

Humanitarian aid that is being stolen by Hamas. Hamas is the true enemy of the Palestinians. The Saudis couldn't care less about their supposed Muslim brothers and sisters.

Israel is not stopping the humanitarian aid in fact there is capacity of over 300% that currently goes thru. The problem is that hamas is stealing this aid what supposedly should go to the civilians. Not only that hamas try to sell this aid back to their own people for horrendous prices!!!

International law states that all are supposed to admit refugees if for life threatening/ severe persecution reasons - this is so .\nShame on the Neighbours of these suffering peoples.\nIf they were wealthy you’d sing a different song.

Stinking Arab States have stopped Arab Palestinians from migrating to their countries since 1947 so as to put pressure on Israel. \nWhy are their refugee camps (now cities) ? \nJordan ejected one million Palestinian refugees by military force in the late 1960’s, Kuwait took 300,000 for labor then threw them out after the gulf war because they backed Hussain.\nArabs have consistently failed Arab Palestinians and have since 1947, they, the Palestinians are their pawns and their real enemies are the Arab States but their bigotry blames the Jews. \n\nArabs don’t care for the deaths of over 600,000 Arabs in Syria or 400,000 in Yemen nor do they care of the ethnic cleansing of 2 million Afghanis from Pakistan but we are supposed to believe they are full of tears for a few thousand Palestinians?

Excellent answer the Palestinians want to go back to their homes! It was just supposedly an “evacuation”which means you get to return home after the danger is gone or maybe it was forced displacement cause then you keep moving on? An ethnic cleansing springs to mind, eh?

WHY DOES NEWS MEDIA THESE DAYS SEND REPORTERS WHO ARE SUPPOSEDLY EDUCATED but Not Intelligent and DOES NOT READ HISTORY before they ask dumb questions and make a fool of themselves ? We all know that Palestinian have some rights based on their Caanan ancestors in that land and so are the Jews ( Israeli Prophets ) ... WHY and How on earth does the Arab world need to accept Palestinians as refugees in their countries ? For what ? The only way is 2 state independent and sovereign . I suggest the News Media get their reporters to learn about Middle East history before coming forward ?

God help our children why have we let these foreigners take over , England truly is finished. I hate the government who was supposed to be protecting its people , l am even feeling ashamed of my own country for being so gutless .

Palestine actually from them.. from\nArab, they suppose to take them back, check the DNA that’s their people.

WHERE are municipal politicians supposedly limiting the construction of homes? I don’t see it. \n\nWe are aware that there are regulations in place to protect buyers and that self-serving industries lobby to do away with, as those protective regulations can reduce profits. Some provincial governments (like Alberta) are highly sympathetic to lobbies and industries, to the detriment of citizens. \nWhy are you not pointing to the fact that successive federal governments of the past stopped funding the construction of lower cost housing (thereby creating more demand AND our number one problem of unmitigated greed throughout the real estate and home building industries? We have some people in government attempting to get more low cost homes built while industries know that they can make more money building houses that are far, far bigger than people NEED. Dumbasses and keep-up-the-Jones folks unwisely buy these homes and then many of them have difficulty affording a lifestyle that they think they are entitled to. Meanwhile, lower income earners have been priced right out the market. Of course, capitalists and real estate investors like Pierre Poilievre will never admit that these are our actual problems. Regulating the construction and real estate industries could have gotten a lot more homes built in higher density for young and lower income Canadians, as well as for our newcomers. \n\nToo much blind and poorly informed anger, selfishness, and foolishness going around. Canadians of the past who pulled together during world wars would call us weak and entitled.

You know this immigrant shit is really getting on my fuckin nerves it nauseating to watch them bum rush this country like they're supposed to be here and entitled to everything, its really making me sick wtf was Biden thinking i mean WTF

His translator supposedly as an aide by protocol

Canada has the same problem as the United States: wrong kind of politicians elected. Like the U.S., most Canadians consider themselves compassionate liberals and thus feel obligated to vote for said, compassionate liberal politicians. The problem is, for Canada and the U.S., these compassionate liberal politicians don't know how to run the nation's economy except to run it further into the ground. And when the problems get really bad, the solution is always, raise taxes because liberal politicians are either Marxist Socialist and believe the citizenry are obligated to pay higher and higher taxes for more government intervention, meaning, interference, in most cases.\n Whenever Canada does get around to voting in a conservative prime minister and government, the Canadian mass media immediately goes on a years-long negative campaign of deliberately undermining the government in the eyes of the Canadian People, demeaning them as inept and uncompassionate and comparing them to fascists. Eventually the Canadian People get so distressed they have to vote back in the liberal party. And then the same happens again.\n I'm just glad our Canadian brothers are not blaming the U.S. government or the CIA, but instead are clear-headed and courageous enough to blame their own government and past legislations and laws that do the exact opposite of what is supposed to happen, level the playing field for all Canadians.\n I'm reading about the outrageous pricing of Canadian housing and am astonished. But one YouTuber explained this about his Canada. Everyone in Canada wants to squeeze into the few, concentrated urban areas that concentrate business, finance, manufacturing, job opportunities, et al. As it happens, these areas are too few and far between. So what ends up happening is geographical overpopulation, despite Canada having a total population of around 32 million souls. People in California can certainly understand this phenomenon. You can purchase a 3-bedroom house out in California City, which is near the Mojave Desert, for $176,000, but there's nothing out there to make it worthwhile living there. Conversely, a tiny, 3-bedroom home in Torrance, Los Angeles, was selling for $800,000 in 2018. \n As realtors put it this way all the time, location, location, location!\n I'm going to pass on commenting on Canada's National Health Care. I've read criticisms from native Canadians on the Internet. As Canadians, they're entitled to say whatever they want about their country. If I, a Yank, open my big mouth, I'm going to get trolled by a hundred angry Canadians defending their National Health Care as the world's greatest socialized medical care. Health Care is already expensive enough in the U.S. Most people get it through their employer, which pays a part of it. But employees' monthly deductions for health insurance have been growing steadily over the past 30 years to where it's now a huge chunk out of one's monthly paycheck.

Noone wants to live in Canada anymore because spineless liberals sold this country down the river while telling everyone with a straight face the cons did it. 44 billion dollars spent on Ontario Healthcare this year, a budget decided by the premier, and liberals are complaining about the state of the Healthcare system. Have you ever heard of a time when 44 billion dollars went into one provinces Healthcare system for one year? \n\nNewsflash: it didn't give us the great healthcare system 44 billion dollars would have because most of that money had to be funneled into paying off liberal policy expenses. Then the same people will tell you Doug Ford is responsible.\n\nYeah Doug Ford is responsible for a sustained overspending effort by the liberals, and especially so when he had to pay their debts. Liberal debts just aren't necessary to pay I suppose, unless you're conservative. Liberals currently have no plan even because they realize their voters are hateful, spiteful people who will cut off their nose to spite their face so the plan is sink the upcoming conservative government in debt and come back in 8 years pretending to not have been the original problem.

Refugees for what it's their land ??? Jews suppose to be the refugees ?

It's a real drag... I have a high paying job, and live a pretty frugal life, and even I'm having trouble making ends meet. I bought my house for $150k, and now it's work 600... how are my adult children supposed to even survive in this environment?

So the Palestinians people have rights? I didn’t know they have rights. I suppose only Palestinians have rights and the Jewish people don’t. Love how they always talks about rights when Palestinians are getting killed for Hamas doing. But the Arab world stay silent when Palestinians cry out about the Hamas treatment to them. Nice.

I think I have seen why I am leaving this or that from literal half the countries in the world on you tube, where are we supposed to go. I am thinking a deserted Island with no people to tell me why I should leave it.

What in the hell is all these people going to do in the United States? I don’t think there’s enough jobs for all of them really or are we just supposed to pull our pockets inside out and take care of them this is getting ridiculous. Quit coming to America.

Until unless GOD WILL no one can join Palestine as a one of them , but we all as a HUMANS supposed to be same as it's digress of HUMILIATION

Half-right, half wrong. Yeah, Palestinians should keep their land. But what is Saudi really doing to ensure their safety? More relief (maybe?), but no actual protection. It's a warzone! Without security/medical aid, what are they supposed to do? Saudi made peace with the Apartheid state! Saudi doesn't intervene! He's just doing media-spin, deflecting. I don't know if the reporter was explicitly saying Palestinians should be expelled, but I'm not giving the minister the benefit of the doubt here. I don't think the reporter was even saying that.

But Arab is still supposed to do something. Not take them as refugees but atleast taking solid steps to stop this

There are lots of Palestinian people that want to leave. If not Muslims their religious brothers are not suppose to give them aid then who?

This is bullshit where are our troops that's supposed to be defending America treason by Biden and Washington

If Canada doesn't import more immigrants, how is the GDP supposed to go up?

The premise of immigrants coming to fill labor shortages/shrinking population and some come with children...that even sets them further behind with our high cost of living. The reason there is a low birth rate is because of cost of living so how is the average immigrant supposed to survive better working at Tim Hortons with three children any better than the people already born here??????????????? Is it because people from India these people live with 50 people in a two bedroom apartment and pool their incomes???

I mean, the knifes supposed to go under your shirt. He wore it out to get attention and knows it. Im sikh of these people

In Lérida, Spain, Muslims want to pass a law to ban dogs in public places, because their supposed prophet Mohammad told them that dogs are devils, some dogs have been poisoned by Muslims there, and who knows where else. The definition of religion should be examined and changed. If it harms others it is not a religion

Why are you seeing this? Really? This is what America supposedly voted for…. Ask the polls

Good job you , i follow ur directives and indeed i made but my questions is after uploading it shows uploaded but not submitted to ircc ? what does dis suppose to mean ma ? for how long will they get back to me ? lastly there re some files i didnt upload like bussiness reg , coz i didnt own a bussiness i only work as a civil servant ,pls will my application be considered ?

1 in 4 actually understand that our premiers are supposed to be funding healthcare and handling housing...

Only 75%.. I suppose the other 25% of people are the actual immigrants lol

Yes, must be those immigrants that on one hand are supposedly lazy and are just milking our system for everything.l it’s worth, collecting welfare, but are also buying up all the houses and causing housing prices to increase.

I don't think Canadian Government have many options for this matter. People now can see one or two side effects of a sequence of immigration policies, but overlook the other side of the same coin that newcomers fill a gap in the labor market and tax revenue. After pandemic, I suppose many restaurant and hotel owners would be happy to see more legal migrants coming to Canada. For public schools, they may also be happy to see that. And I don't see a good reason for a country of immigrants to start a backlash against migrants. Believe it or not, there're still a large group of people and businesses benefitting from those policies. The second largest country around the globe only has a population of about 40 million, even less than that of UK. It sounds like a joke when people just complain about housing crisis due to higher immigration but not complain about lots of vacant and unutilized spaces.

Yet will the government who’s supposed to work for us do anything? Only the PPC have a clear answer - but the media insists on lying about them and can’t gain any ground on an important issue most Canadians support - less and safer immigration.

Why does Canada need Immigration? The Gap between Canadians who are retiring and those who are in the workforce (and hence are paying taxes) or are supposed to enter is increasing. There are more Canadians retiring than those working. Result? The Canadian government has less tax revenue (and perhaps more expenditure as a result of Increased pensions etc.). So now, either the government has to Increase Taxes (More taxes? Hell no!!) or bring in New Immigrants to increase the tax-paying workforce of the Canadian Economy. Hence, immigrants are needed and the political parties including Conservative, Liberal, NDP, etc. know this and are inviting immigrants in record numbers. The issue is too much red tape in Building housing options in Canada, not immigrants

Actually, the fact that there are so many agencies that supposedly help homeless people doesn't mean that help can be accessed so easily. In fact, there is an extreme shortage of housing in Canada and all shelters are full, mentally ill and homeless folks can not be placed in regular shelters, the right approach would be rehabilitation centers. Unfortunately, rehabilitation centers are for profit. \nSo it's hard to say what exactly they are spending those billions on.

Are you guys blaming immigrants for your problems? Ok, so they do. But: who's going to do all those supposed job openings they leave behind, all those dirty, low status low salary laborious jobs y'all would never want to do? \nOutside of those highly trained emigrants, who will replace the farm workers, the slaughterhouse workers, the general labourers..you?

Am suppose to feel bad for immigrants when we as Canadians can’t afford to live in our own country!!! ??? most Canadians can’t afford house’s!!

I blame this conservative government for letting into many Muslim extremist wanting to convert white communitys into Muslims ,i thought Muslims are supposed to be peaceful loving people were not seeing this anymore

You have tried to explain very well the initial struggle faced by new immigrants. This does take years and sometimes decades to settle down properly in a new country for first generation. First generation Indians try to save as much as they can while cutting corners. Things have relatively become much easier as there are plenty of jobs for those who have professional degrees and substantial experience. I personally found Canadian bachelor of engineering was far superior than masters of computer science in USA. I enjoyed spending four years in downtown Toronto while full time studying in late 80’s before moving back to USA. Someone else mentioned here in previous thread that all of their friends are much better off in India. I feel more or less the same way in spite of having three engineering degrees and 40 years experience. I am strong believer in Karmas, your destiny will take you where you’re supposed to be. Good luck to your viewers.

You lost me at #2. It doesn't get talked about much because it is absolute nonsense. East Asians make more money than White Canadians. Culture matters. Two parents in the home matters. An inconvenient truth. Nine of the top ten countries from which Canada draws its immigrants are non white. Is that something a racist country would do? Let a generation pass before you complain there aren't enough poc in top positions. Are you supposed to run the bank the day you arrive? A qualified, capable, hard working poc is the most privileged person in Canada. And there has not been a single body unearthed at any residential school. Sorry lady, you are way off on this point.

Viewing frm east Africa other questions how it suppose to be all papers to support yr document and how,when where to submit it online ? Or in ambassy

So these countries that we accepted their immigrants- will they be welcoming us born and raised Canadians to immigrate there if we want to? Not sure why I’m supposed to care that people are leaving? I care more about those canadians born here that can’t afford it now. Who will care about those people?

My comment got deleted & I received a harassing msg from YouTube implying I was harassing another user which isn’t the case at all! I was calling out this officer for exactly what he is a pos! Shame on you YouTube smh ! !!! I’m responding to the video of an innocent bystander being harassed & I defended him !! This is a crime ?!?? Was I suppose to roll over and meow … Absolutely ridiculous !!!!!

Prime example of the flag bearers of the Indian foreign service ???? And these are supposed to be the crème de la crème of the Indian bureaucracy ???? I had so much fun watching the guy show his emotionally unintelligent face to the whole world ????

1) Toronto is poor value. Getting housing of any kind (buying or renting) is stupidly expensive. And the quality you get for the price is lousy. Especially the newer builds, which are just thrown up as quickly as possible and sold to investors. Policy measures generally all seem to serve to just inflate the price of housing further. The occasional lip service given to affordability is amusing, but ultimately sad. There are lots of people who really do not want the housing bubble to pop. They will fight against it with all they have.\n\n2) It has become kind of boring. There is lots to do if you have money, but it’s harder to find entertainment on a budget. Even the free stuff like parks are filling up. Stuff like sporting events, eating out, going out is very costly across the board. Even the “cheaper” stuff is expensive. It seems like a lot of local culture is disappearing. Even the cool neighbourhoods are filling up with the same chains. I think the high commercial rent and bureaucracy is deflating a lot of would-be entrepreneurs. Most landowners seem to just be banking on cashing out their land for condos.\n\n3) Canada overall has a high cost of living compared to salaries. In the US you can find lower cost of living areas that still give you a real city experience. And in Europe you can be poor but still live a decent, if no frills, life. In Canada the basic necessities are all expensive. Phone bills, grocery bills, rent, insurance are through the roof. Domestic travel is expensive. And the dollar sucks if you want to travel abroad. Health care is free but good luck finding a family doctor or waiting 8 hours in the ER these days. It’s expensive to be poor, or even middle class.\n\n4) Most of the Greater Toronto Area, outside the core, is soulless suburbs with awful transit - very “American” except with worse traffic congestion. You will need a car, which is another huge cost. Row upon row of old cookie cutter suburbs with the same crappy houses. Good luck walking anywhere, and if you do you will need to walk down boring, treeless arterial roads with cars zooming past right beside you, and cross giant eight lane intersections that were never built for humans on foot. In a rainstorm or on a fall evening you have to be really careful not to be run over by aggressive drivers.\n\n5) It is hard to raise a family in an apartment here. You can do it but it’s not very easy, and also you are still kind of judged for it. Lots of young people are feeling stuck and are deferring or avoiding starting a family. Buying any type of house, even a basic townhouse, requires pledging your soul to a bank by taking a massive mortgage with eye watering debt in a volatile market. But few apartment buildings have the kind of sensible gentle density, the family unit sizes and the common amenities, like little courtyards with jungle gyms, that you might find in Europe. No one ever contemplated that anyone would ever desire to raise kids in an apartment. It’s just a cultural thing that has worked its way into how things are planned and designed.\n\n6) The transit system is ok by North American standards but awful by international standards. There are only two real subway lines, one stub line, one line that is permanently out of service after a derailment, and another line that was supposed to open a couple years ago but still has no date for opening. The subways go out of service frequently, sometimes for the dumbest reasons, and then it is a zoo of shuttle buses. The streetcars are nice but so slow. The buses are fine if you find yourself dreaming about riding a daily herky jerky rolling tin of sardines. They are building a lot of transit but it will take decades to get done.\n\n7) There is still a lot of cool multiculturalism and opportunities to experience different foods and cultures - one of the best things about Toronto. Increasingly though it seems to be losing the fun vibe of the 90s, when everyone celebrated each other’s backgrounds and was chill. It seems the immigration is not as broad based anymore and also people are importing a lot of their “old country” grievances here. The immigration system also kind of preys on people abroad by selling them a false fairy tale, so they end up dejected when they arrive and see how things really are.\n\n8) This one might be controversial but it’s kind of an ugly city. There’s nothing particularly of historical meaning or value. Some of the older neighbourhoods are kind of nice, but the last 25 years they have only built giant glass skyboxes, one after another. There aren’t the cool “missing middle” walkups like in NY, Chicago or Montreal (or even LA). There are very few buildings with much architectural character. Some of the buildings they deem “heritage” here are an embarrassment.\n\n9) For safety, honestly on this score I think Toronto is not bad. There are not too many real “ghettos” and it’s night and day compared to much of the US. With that said, there is more vagrancy and social issues these days, with tents and such. It’s very sad but the shelters are full, lots of homeless go into the libraries, parks and transit system. It does make it harder to enjoy these public amenities safely. It is nowhere close to Europe where you might let your kids run free around town. Canadian parents still helicopter their kids and the place again is not designed to really be safe for kids, in the same way as Europe.\n\n10) Finally, a bit of a double edged sword. Toronto had a lot of youthful energy - people coming here from all over. It is definitely not as sleepy as many parts of the world. With that said, it is becoming a bit of a transient place (minus the world class experiences like London or NY). If you are from elsewhere you might find it hard making and keeping friends. I’ve seen lots of people struggle because it’s is hard to build a strong social network. We have a very “shallow” culture here - people are extremely polite but not overly warm and hospitable. We treat one another kind of like neighbours - meaning we’d like to have a cordial, drama-free coexistence and otherwise kind of stick to ourselves.

Moving to the US I suppose

It's a Trudeau Government who took all their money and gave to his family n suppose n left over he gave to other countries, why the hell he won't help his own country, we need conservative leader who understands our problem

I'm not against immigration but if we have issues with healthcare, cost of society living and housing we Canadians are facing, how are we supposed to support immigrants? In other words, how can Canada take care of immigrants if it struggles to take care of Canadians?
