This is so interesting. I'm lucky enough to be a Singaporean and just a slightly above-average professional, I contemplated applying for Canadian PR as PR seemed achievable and I wanted a change of environment. But in 2018, I did a research trip to Vancouver and Toronto to scout out the place and talk to friends living there, and realised just from a few anecdotes that with the comparatively higher income taxes, lower salaries and higher housing prices (compared to subsidised public housing in SG, private housing in SG is still out of my reach) that I really was better off where I am. Not to mention the stagnating and less diverse economy, un-progressive tax system would penalise a single working female like me. I thought it would afford a better quality of life for young families due to the maternity leave policy - not sure if I was on the mark for that

Not to mention, the 5 trillion it will cost to prepare the American power grid, for the EV industry.

The following is just a sample of what these people conducting the patrols believe:\n\nMUHAMMAD’S MOTHER’S VAGINA EMITTED A GREAT LIGHT WHEN HE CAME OUT\n\n[sirat ibn hisham 166] _When the prophet came out of his mothers vagina, the light covered the east and the west which reached all the way to Sham_ (Syria today)\n\n\nA GOAT ATE THE KORANIC VERSE OF BREASTFEEDING AN ADULT MAN\n\n[Ibn Majah Volume 3, Book 9, Hadith 1944] _It was narrated that ‘Aishah said: “The Verse of stoning and of breastfeeding an adult ten times was revealed, and the paper was with me under my pillow. When the Messenger of Allah died, we were preoccupied with his death, and a tame sheep came in and ate it.”_\n\nKEEPING A DOG WILL DEDUCT A MAN’S REWARD IN PARADISE\n\n[Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 54, Number 541] Narrated Abu Huraira] _Allah’s Apostle said, “If somebody keeps a dog, he loses one Qirat (of the reward) of his good deeds every day, except if he keeps it for the purpose of agriculture or for the protection of livestock.”_\n\nA DOG, DONKEY, AND WOMAN CAN ANNUL A PRAYER\n\n[Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 9, Number 490] _Narrated ‘Aisha: The things which annul the prayers were mentioned before me. They said, “Prayer is annulled by a dog, a donkey and a woman.” I said, “You have made us (women) dogs. I saw the Prophet praying while I used to lie in my bed between him and the Qibla. Whenever I was in need of something, I would slip away, for I disliked to face him.”_

Great video. Recently im researching canada and new zealand as my adventure in australia come to end. And a lot of the points you mentioned are better in canada than in Australia. Education, team work attitude, living. Im surprised but also encouraged more towards canada. I wish I could see same comparison of Canada and New Zealand and Australia.

Have to love showing a semi auto rifle as a single shot rifle, and not to mention claiming not be religious as being more religiously diverse... Little bias showing through. Funny how many Canadians that can moves to the US at least for 6 months a year.

To be fair I'd rather have Indians than..... The others. Plus the high crime constantly mentioned is unlikely to be from the Indians, probably from the increasingly destitute white people, a very peverse and wrong situation

It has raised inflation off the charts , by bringing in too many people .An affordable place to live is impossible to find , the cost of homes is off the map , not too mention the crime .

Now that you mention the drug crisis in Canada, I think this has increase in Mexico a lot after pandemic.\nHomeless are like 50% more here, maybe We have a global problem with drugs and mental health

Hi\n\nCan anyone help me\n\nI need to if I can do a certification course ( less than 3 months) in Canada on post graduate work permit. It is mentioned in my work permit that I cant join any vocational, academic or professional courses without authorization.\n\nThanks

This is so hypocritical. You are from Saskatchewan, you made a lot of videos on the two main cities in Saskatchewan, Regina and Saskatoon. These two cities, Regina and Saskatoon often rank in the top 5 of the most dangerous in Canada. You never mentioned how dangerous Regina and Saskatoon are when you made videos on them. Per capita, Regina and Saskatoon are far more dangerous that Toronto, not even close. Maybe you should make videos on the extremely high crime rates in Regina and Saskatoon. SMH

Brampton was dying as a city, Indians saved Brampton. I’m saying this respectfully, They were a lot of aging white population and they were not making kids. The city needed badly immigrants to survive. But that part this YouTuber never mention it.

14:01 if they bring their own culture that’s fine. But what’s NOT FINE is when they IMPOSE THEIR culture on you and on ALL CANADIANS which they do, not to mention they discriminate in hiring process by hiring only their kind and not others. That’s where I draw the line.

You don’t mention any mosque?\nStrange. Maybe Qatari money connection.

He didn't mention about drugs in Canada. Govt. has made legal that any individual above the age of 18 years can keep 2.50 grams kokin. Marijuana is being sold on stores. Another worst thing is in Canadian schools young children's brain is being washed that they can change their sex. Now Canada has become a shit country. It's not worth living.

The ignorance that this young man spurts is so nauseating and you have people who supports him. Repulsive is not the word. \nLies, international students do have to go through stringent criminal records check. \nHow about you ask the government to help out universities so that they don’t have to depend on international students. Secondly, you’ve mentioned the low birth rate. Why aren’t Canadians having children? Why haven’t you explored the whys behind that? \nWhy?

Unfortunately, the racism is what you will find throughout North America, not just in Canada, but especially in the US. I must admit that Canada is not Canada I knew growing up. So much has changed and some not for the better. But if you are looking for a better life, than I wish you both the best of luck for you and your children. In many of the countries you have mentioned of having a strong muslim community, that may be true, but you also need to look at the economies and environment of wars amoungst peoples....Good luck to you and i pray that you will find what you are looking for.

Forgot to mention the northern part is cold. So therefore a lot less people. A lot.

He didnt mention removing Hamas ???

Not to mention, we, Canadians will pay with higher taxes to house these people.

Not to mention canada spent over $500 million on refugees and illegal immigrants last year. Source- National Post

Thanks for sharing reality of Canada \n My sister with family is living there for about 10years \n But she still seems to be in problems as mentioned inthe video . \n With time every one is facing problems but they don't find any solution v sad .

Canda has been like this for decades. Why are people just mentioning it now?

Soon every city in Ontario will be brown town… why is it that we never really had all these scams going on till the last few years?only people I see get caught are brown with multiple fake ids. Non stop scam calls, texts , emails mainly preying on our elderly people and what do they get a theft under 5000 charge and that’s nothing. You have people renting rental to turn around and not live in it just rerent them to brown people and stick 4 in each room for 500 a person.. what to pay for the house they live in or send it all back home. If your white here they won’t even rent to you even if you wanted to because they know the only people that will live in those conditions are them. Rental adds being racist saying only brown people but if we we be put on blast.Not to mention they will only hire their own kind once they have ones in management. \nI had ones move in my place and sure enough 10 + people in it within 2 months and the place is already infested with roaches.\nAnd we wonder why crime , drugs and homeless is going crazy.\nUse Canadians need to start fighting back doing the same only hiring and renting to Canadians. Start threatening them do go back home but no we don’t because we all sit back and do nothing. If the table was turned down you think we would get away with any of this there ?\nGo to any cash place and I can bet you’ll see a handful there sending all their rupies back how so how’s this helping the country

In order to get study visa, they mention that they leave Canada once they finish studies and have ties back home.. all lies suddenly?

Been in Canada for 26 years and came as a student. I'm all for balanced immigration and not over populating. What this gentleman forgets to mention is that Canadian universities and colleges promise opportunities galore upon completion. So often these students are taking out massive loans in hopes of paying back some portion of it with post grad work permits.

Regarding Khalistan nationalists, Harrison failed to mention that Maxime Bernier, the People’s Party of Canada leader is the only party leader not to pander to Sikh nationalists. Maxime said: “I am certainly concerned that relations between India and Canada are in danger of deteriorating because of Canada's official indifference towards the actions and rhetoric of Sikh radical militants in my country,” He also said: “I believe Canada should not get involved in internal conflicts in India, and our government and political leaders should stop pandering to extremists in order to get votes.” He is the only one of our party leaders who ever served as Canada’s top diplomat; he was Foreign Affairs Minister under PM Harper.

This was so obvious years ago that these students would do this!!! Not to mention the fake degrees and certificates they show schools and employers to get high paying jobs that they are not even qualified for!!! They take and take without any manners or consideration for others that’s all they do!

Not to mention most shooting's/drug dealing in Vancouver lower mainland are indians.

I agree with many points this dude mentioned but how can a Canadian become drug addict and homeless with more immigrants. Homelessness becaz of drugs is Canada wide issue.

I'd be careful about mentioning an increase in immigration as a source of a problem here without providing any evidence of how that's specifically harmful. \n\nYes, we have an influx in international students - often underinformed young people scouted by private companies in places like India who are gravely mislead on what to expect once arriving in Canada. International students specifically are facing tons of injustice and being used as cash cows by companies and our government, since international tuition is much higher than domestic tuition. \n\nBut right now, skilled immigrants are helping build our cities back up. It takes a lot of people to plan, design and build infrastructure, to repopulate failing systems (cough cough, healthcare), etc. We're in a recession and individual industries are struggling a lot right now - but not because of immigrant workers. In fact, they are picking up slack, taking jobs no one else wants to do, and keeping the gears of our society turning.

Correction: Vancouver, while facing extreme difficulties due to a lack of affordable high-density housing, is doing a LOT to try and fix this in comparison to other cities in the infrastructure sector. Just over the last couple years, we've had some pretty extreme zoning policy changes, we have a yearly rent increase cap (which backfires once tenants move out, but that's another story) and we're building new transit infrastructure which now, legally, requires only high-density housing build in the surrounding areas. \n\nThe population growth here has wildly exceeded the amount of housing growth in the last few decades. Not to mention the insufficient wages, high cost of living and a broken healthcare system. Our people are struggling but if you have to live in a city right now, I'd choose the greater Vancouver area. Down the road, I see us improving the most infrastructure-wise out of any Canadian city, which will hopefully benefit social sectors as well.

Weve let people into the country faster than our economy can keep up. Not to mention Trudeau has added to the problem by burning money for personal agendas

Yes, Justin is a nightmare, but the alternative of a Conservative government is even worse! Like in the US, UK and other countries, we have no great options for good leadership. I wish the NDP would get their shit together. Also, you failed to mention the Bloc's dangerous impact in Quebec. They sap much of the Fed vote in our second most populated province. They should not be allowed to be a Federal party when they only have representation in one province. EVERY Federal election is won or lost by blowing Quebec.

You're mentioning race, wow. This is usually blamed on old white guys

i lived in Canada most of my life, visited Singapore twice, in my view it is the closest thing to a utopia in the world. I am curious to learn your perspectives on why you would want to leave Singapore and come to Canada, because though Canada is a developed country, it feels like a third world country a lot of the time due to all reasons you mentioned above.

He's a coward, he can't even mention Israel

*shrugs* Canadian here. No interest in leaving, especially to the US of all places.\n\nI mean think that through. My income tax is around 17% of my income. My capital gains on investments is around 15%. I get free health care (which while obviously not free - is paid out of my taxes, yet isn't rationed or in-network restrictions, doesn't have copays and cover 90% of my medical needs). I have a government that even at its worst, is orders of magnitude more rational and public serving than the US (and god help you if Trump gets back in). Not to mention a country that doesn't literally have a major gun violence/mass shooting even EVERY FRICKING WEEK, unlike the US.\n\nAnd yes, I live in Metro Van and I have an 850 sq ft two bedroom apt I'm renting for $1250/mo - so maybe the problem isn't simply that the housing market is too tight (which it is), but that you've picked a city in high demand that's boxed in on four sides - ocean to the west, mountains to the north, US border to the south and what little farmland the lower mainland can sustain to the east. You could, of course, move elsewhere in Canada like Edmonton or Calgary, but yeah...not whiny enough, I guess.\n\nSorry, you're entitled to you views of course, but I can't help thinking most of your problems are self-inflicted... so yeah, move to the States.\n\nI'm SURE it'll work out better for you....

You forgot to mention the out of control homelessness and drug crisis.

Canada sucks. Lived here my whole life. 34 years near Toronto. Here's a list of other stuff not mentioned.\n1) terrible school system. Basically go private or subject your kids to liberal ideology and creative learning which puts math and literacy scores at a 20 year low.\n2) terrible Healthcare system. You can wait in line for 1 hour at a walk in clinic. 6 hours at emergency. There's hardly any doctors working.\n3) terrible transit. The public transit is outdated. The roads are always busy with 3 year long construction projects. They actively reduce road lanes to add in bicycle lanes, that are only uses half the year because no one rides a bicycle in -10 degree C. But yeah, we'll still plow the bike lane with tax payer $.\n4) increase in crime. More recent development but lets say it started picking up during the lockdowns in 2020. A lot of immigrants that don't give a f about the law. They don't give a f about the police. They get out on bail the next day. They do crime in broad daylight. It's insane. I don't feel safe. Plus, it's hard to own firearms in canada. You can't protect yourself.\n5) no cultural cohesion. The culture sucks. Bland, boring, fake.\n\nHonestly, stay away from Canada. The only thing it had going for it was it polite and safe. But now it's a crime spree out there. Last I heard, 55 car jacking happen everyday.

You forget to mention that the high skilled immigrants that go to Canada actually bring lots and lots of income taxes to Canada, as they occupy highly paid jobs that get the state 54% in taxes ?

Not to mention the environmental impact building 500 000 new houses would cause. Here is another side to this argument no one has mentioned. Bringing in this many new people causes need for more everything, homes, schools, groceries stores, etc. In the last two years my town in the GTA has built more then 20 new apartment buildings and many townhouse complexes. They are building them in the small forested areas I used to play in as a kid, buying up farms outside of town to continue urban sprawl. And yet the government claims it cares for the environment? the mass destruction of nature says otherwise.

Not to mention the total garbage that is the health care system. Live in a Canadian city and want to see a doctor? Good luck with that. Unless you already have a family doctor your only option is to start calling walk in clinics as soon as they open to try and book an appointment. The clinics usually book up within a few minutes of their opening so you'll usually end up waiting weeks to see a doctor. The only reason why Trudeau was voted in originally was because of the nostalgia over his dad.

Last year almost 500,000 immigrants arrived in Canada. In that same time...less than 100,000 left. Does anyone here know how to add and subtract? The math says...that 400,000 more people stayed...than left. Not to mention...that the population is almost 40M to begin with. What this means...is that the title of your video is a blatant lie. But this is the internet. Lying is ok I guess.

*At **1:24** Canada mentions Punjab as a separate data because Canada supports balkanization of India along with Pakistan, this way Canada can tame brown Hindus so they will always walk on egg shells*

Did you forget to mention that 2 of the major conservative provinces are trying to block federal funding for housing to municipalities and how the leader of the opposition has a member of their party who works for a lobbying agency that works with loblaws which is increasing food prices?

Excellent video with superb quality of analysis and video content! Just to add a couple of important things. Speaking as a Canadian who have left the country in 2021 and NOT looking back! \n1) healthcare: the quality and quantity is falling dramatically. Doctors are leaving south, healthcare budgets are keep being cut every year by our wonderful government. The quality is very poor. Waiting lines are insane! Ilyou can seriously spend the while day/night with your sick child in a waiting line at a hospital. Average is over 12 hrs already!!! \n2) criminal situation is worsening every year. Even in the best neighborhoods you no longer feel safe. \n3) schools/education: same thing. Teachers are leaving due to low wages and larger classes. Separate tutors for kids with special needs are being more and more limited. \n4) i know you mentioned it, but i want to reinstate: CRAZY food inflation. \nI have no idea how people are making it in Canada. Get this drama idiot of of the government people ? I want my Canada to prosper and thrive, not keep falling down the cliff

So in other words, the same problems found in western countries across the board. All of the things mentioned in the video are a global problem because citizens have become weak and don't demand better.

Thanks very much for sharing this list. You hit all the major points why immigrants are leaving Canada. There are also Canadian-born citizens leaving Canada. Me and my family just moved from Canada to El Salvador last year. Why did we leave? One word - wokeism. We were afraid for our children! This ideology is very dangerous for our youth. They're being indoctrinated and supported in public schools to pump themselves with hormones and mutilate their bodies with surgery to change genders. It was so scary to us that we high-tailed it out of there! Not to mention the government tyranny. Many people still dont see it but many have now woken up to the reality that our government is moving away from democracy towards socialism, and we believe eventually towards totalitarianism. Don't get me wrong, socialism and collectivism in general can work well for societies if the government has the people's best interests in mind - but in a corporatocracy, that is NOT the case.

Someone (a comedian) once mentioned recently about Brampton that it’s become like UPS, brown! ????

I was thinking of doing my Masters in Computer Science in Canada but thankfully I didn't. Just after my decision Covid started. Thank god I chose to stay in India and got a job. Also not to mention the killing of so many Indians in Canada. It is not even safe for us to go there considering the terrorism.\n\nEdit - I also never saw Canadians complaining about Trudeau. The people support him! You can't blame Trudeau after electing him so many times. The fault is in the people and Trudeau's policy to support khalistani terrorists for Vote banking.
