i like how in the video canada seems to only be 3 cities : Toronto, ottawa and vancouver..

Oh, Canada. Our home and fif-ty first staaaaate. ?

Watching updates on Canada's decline is a fun pastime since fleeing that sinking ship in 2020.

Ew Canada. If there is anywhere we need a border wall it's up there.

To be fair lending rules in Canada are pretty tight; especially compare to the USA ,their lending practices are a joke in comparison. A huge problem is that for several years we have bringing in 10 people for each housing unit built and a significant portion of those units are 300sqft micro-condos

Ille live in Canada over the hell hole next door.Is that where you learnt your reading skill and math???Do you know how to spellUSA

I think if you replace Canada with Australia you will still be correct

The brain drain for college is mostly inaccurate. It’s usually at the stage of job market due to higher salaries after a lower priced college education within Canada.

Housing affordability is an issue in Canada, and many, many Western countries. The paradox is: for homes to be more affordable, homeowners would have to, or be forced to, sell at a lower price than today's price. Why should current homeowners give up the equity in their homes so that someone else can afford it?

As a Canadian who has lived my whole life here, in my opinion there were two major factors that need to be highlighted that started this mess: fiscal policy and focus on fringe politics. First, Canada came out of the 2008 meltdown relatively unscathed due to following a markedly different strategic path than other major countries, namely tight banking regulations as well as 15 years of paying down the national debt. However, several years after 2008, sentiment shifted to adopting the same MMT-led fiscal policies as other nations: lower interest rates and deficit spending. Secondly, at least 10 years ago, there was a major political shift to start emphasizing fringe social issues (climate, race-based, gender, etc.) instead of standard issues such as the economy or military to name two, and it was strongly evident in academia and in the media. The result was little governmental, public or media attention being paid to core economic concerns such as the massive growing government and consumer debt levels, highly inflationary housing market, or decreasing productivity. When COVID hit, the government further doubled the existing federal debt and when they found that unsustainable, opened the doors to massive immigration levels to bring the Debt-per-Capita ratio down which while helping in that one metric, has further inflated the housing market all while forcing wages down. We now have unsustainable public debt levels, unaffordable housing, decreasing wages, decreasing productivity, and a troubling reactionary political swing towards extremist right-wing ideologies. Top that off with the US administration seeing Canada is on an economic precipice and threatening to take the country over, there couldn't be a more perfect storm.

FEEDBACK: I've operated various businesses in Canada and all I can say is, 'never again'. The BUREAUCRACY grows in strength every year, issuing more & more regulations, stifling everything. For every new rule a bureaucrat introduces, an old rule should be retired.\n\nHOUSING: It's the Liberal Government policy to pander to immigrant voters that has put us down the wrong path. I'm amazed that so few people in, say, Vancouver who complain about the astronomical cost of rent and mortgages realize that their problem is directly caused by our WEAK policy of permitting new immigrants to move to Vancouver & Toronto , instead of the 1,000 other towns where they're desperately needed. How stupid are we, to not even understand the policy issue? \n\nMeanwhile, I actually lost my apartment block in Winnipeg because the market value dropped below the mortgage balance and the bureaucracy was killing me with their conflicting rulings. So, why did my block drop in market value? Because people were leaving Winnipeg, and Manitoba. EVERYONE went to Vancouver or Toronto. Thanks for nothing, stupid politicians.. the opposition isn't doing their job when Canadians don't know anything about this.

Things are getting worse too. Canada doesn't develop its infrastructure or resources, and now the housing bubble is rapidly deflating

I desperately want to move out of Canada. I've been born and raised here and I feel helpless. I AM EDUCATED. I DO WORK HARD. I HAVE A GOOD CAREER and yet I have no hope of ever owning a home. How is this acceptable?

CANADA IS FAKE COUNTRY

Cool. So what countries are notably better places to live then? Name 10.\n\nPeople come to Canada because it is a great place to live.

Canada is doing the right thing, don't blame Canada, blame those Indian students who have abused the system

You are in Canada and you deliver pizza.... \nSociety: wow hard working guy. \n\nYou are in India and deliver food.\nSociety: delivery Wale nee time pe deliver nahi karti yar. Isske liye too paisa dethe hee ham. \n\n\nWow ????\nDouble standard f@#$ers.

As an American yes Canada in 2025 is a far better society. Healthcare education environment Canada is superior to the USA . I want to apologize to Canadians for the idiot trump occults .

This is why we need to place Tariffs on Canada: unaffordable gas, groceries and housing for Americans will stop crime and immigration for sure ?

TRUMP!! needs to build a wall between Canada & the US !!!

Take them right back to Canada. Just stop the bus.

Heck NO!! \nI LOVE SoCal & would move there in a heartbeat IF it was Canada, so NO!!!! ??

I am Canadian, and to visit India I need a letter of invite from a person or company from India, go the the Indian embassy , and get a visa. why do they think they can waltz into the USA or Canada willy nilly?

My mother country is China, but I have experienced some things that remind me I should immigrate to a free country. So, I decided to immigrate to Canada. Everyone experiences different things, and it’s enough to find love and happiness, and not regret your whole life when you die. That’s OK

The guy perpously harased a female for many days notice he had his camera ready of course she snaped welcome to canada

No one wants to live in Canada anymore because it's no longer land of the free it's home of who ever bitches the loudest gets there way. And for really I'm not sure there's a whole lot of Canadians in Canada not if u look around

ICE cannot ‘shut down the Canadian border’ The United States Border Patrol is responsible for who and what crosses into the United States - not Canada.

Canada must lower income tax if it wants to retain immigrants

Sorry Canada you deserve all the Trump tariffs ,, and I’m Canadian ffs!

This is one of the reasons Trump threatened Canada with Tariffs AND it worked!!!\nCanada should be patrolling their own border anyway! They fail themselves if they don't.

Do not feel sorry for Canada. I am Canadian. Canadians voted for the Liberal Socialist Government they have 3 times. The youth wanted marijuana legalized. The union governments wanted to tax the corporation to be the highest of the G-7, tax their citizens, attack investors, to fund their rediculous social programs, paid sick days, stat holidays, benefits, pension plans etc .....and now no one in their right mind would open a business or invest in Canada..... No, Canadians are getting what they voted for and deserve....Good Luck to them, I have found a new and friendly country to do business and invest in. Oh, and it has beautiful weather all year round. You could not pay me enough to invest in Canada again:)

Cool, Canada is a nice place, enjoy

What does that say about Canada's LEADERS ??? Trump was / is RIGHT again !!!

Far more drugs and illegal immigrants enter Canada from the US than the opposite yet we aren't screaming at Washington to beef up their border security.

Don't blindly believe. Fact check for yourselves. I STAND with CANADA. I STAND with the TRUTH.

That's not to much to ask Canada & Mexican stop the flow of illegals and drugs .

Too many indian and their call their family, friend from their country to flood canada. And indian businesman and CEO prefer indian as its workers

I find it ironic, I hardly hear about people sneaking into Canada to live, usually to get drugs for cheap but, people wanna come into America illegally though it’s “such a terrible place”

Im canadian and most of these criminals were brought into canada by the liberal goverment so useless trudeau could get votes so if his mom would have swallowed it would have helped both our countries

We’re very pleased they are leaving Canada for the US as they are all bogus refugees and our Idiot Liberal government does nothing.

This is exactly why President Trump used tariffs to get Canada to close the border

Do you know how many guns you Americans are bringing into Canada??? TOO MANY!!!!

So be it Canada would be 51st state, seems like they can’t handle those coyotes crossing the border

Speaks volumes of Canada and Mexico if immigrants, legal or otherwise, don't want to stay there.

You mean the migrants who crossed over from the US in the first place? Come on Canada defend your border. Turn t hese people back to the US. So the US lets them leave but not come back? Ya who needs friends like that. How about both sides protect the border and allow NO ONE to cross illegally. Just turn them back problem solved. But we all know why Trudoh wont do that. His orders come from higher up

Canada just needs to stop letting people into Canada for stupid reasons. And throw out anyone who does not have citizenship, landed immigrant status, work permit, visitors visa, etc. Unless their home-country is at war, or in some other viloent state - send back all refugee claimants.

maybe Canada could stop them at the airport? just asking

Why would they want to go to new York if they're already in Canada? Makes no sense. The New Haven pizza maybe?
