it is not about immigration, it is about how much refugees we brought in and how corrupted is the government and our so called democracy system doesn't work. \n \nimmigration come here with investment or they work and pay tax. refugees don't. you get it?

if western countries have real democracy,\njust use your voting rights to elect politicians who will make positive changes

Funny, two thirds of Americans think American democracy is broken. The pot is always greener on the other side of the fence.

At this point, I'm ready to give up on Liberal Democracy in favor of Multi-National Mega Corporate rule instead. Atleast with them, we'd have prospects here again, and with no federal governmental laws holding us back from progressing, our housing problems will go away for atleast a few decades. Canada is sitting on a fucking goldmine of land and resources, untapped and unused.

I think, that like so many other democracies, that corporate capture of government has been on going since the early 1980s and this then enables more, what was in the past considered, criminality.

My friend sold everything and migrate to Canada. But now he's bankrupt and jobless. Thought in Canada can have a better life. But he is wrong. Canadian are so hate Asian people and did a lot of discriminate stuff. Now my friend got mental health issue and divorce. In short, he's became crazy. So before migrate, think carefully. Especially in Western country. There is no democracy and justice in this countries.

Wow! I’m Canadian born and just came across this. 100%. Totally agree. Great review. Things are definitely broken here, slowly deteriorating for the past 20 years, but especially escalated since Trudeau in 2015, and the BS and lies and propaganda since the start of COVID. This country is deteriorating as a direct consequence of our fascist government and broken institutions. Don’t know where this goes, but we are definitely a nation in decline, and the takeover of government by corporate interests and corrupt politics is the reason why. We do not live in a democracy. Don’t let anybody tell you we do. Everything is a lie, and people are figuring it out and no longer wish to participate in a society that has become hostile towards the middle class. The entire system is a pyramid scheme, and the Jenga blocks are crumbling.

There are essentially two major problems when discussing this issue. First and foremost, it is VERY difficult for anyone to even attempt to bring up an intelligent argument because they are instantly branded a racist, so many people just keep quiet, which is not healthy in a democracy. Secondly, when examining the world as it is today, the inescapable fact is that the nations with a high standard of living and a truly democratic system simply cannot sustain the rest of the globe!! It's simply a numbers game, if we gradually permit the rest of the world to bring it's problems here, the outcome is predictable. I'm sorry but I feel that it's a terrible thing when I go out and almost ALWAYS notice that I am a minority. I don't care what your politics are, that is just wrong. And the aspect of that is most unfair? The countries where these people came from would NEVER allow that to happen. In fact, most often we are not welcome in those countries at all!

What does it matter what Canadians think we live in a scam called democracy

,.....we need to take care of Canadians first, you know the ones that built this nation, created a country of fairness and compassion? and here's a point that will enrage the uneducated woke: limit immigration from Islamic nations.....look at Poland, they are protectting their Polish identity and way of life, why do Canadians not see the same issue??? unless you want your country to look like France or Great Britain. This country has changed for the worse. And unfortunately Islam is not a religion/ideology that can be integrated into western liberal democracies easily. Read the Koran folks its not like Christianity....its not about equality and fairness unless you are muslim perhaps... their Prophet was a warlord killing thousands and enslaving thousands, he married a 9 year old and consummated that marriage when she was 12 and he was 54. If you believe in God , pretty sure he didn't send Jesus to earth to preach peace and forgiveness and then , an all knowing God Changes his mind and brings us Mohammed, who kills and enslaves?? And addressing current issues, Canadian passport holders who choose to live in Gaza, which has no rights for women, LGBTQ, and especially jews and whose leaders drafted a charter calling for death of ALL jews, sounds more like NAZI Germany, well they do not belong in Canada. There are plenty of surrounding muslim nations they can go to.

Situation of the attitudes of Visa officers and other officers in China is horrific. You don’t get visa or other certificates even after you submitted all. Just they tell you to apply and take Visa and other fees but later deny it and take 6-8 months To even deny. You feel stuck, and helpless. You don’t raise voice otherwise they will anyways not entertain if you say a word. Many times you feel stuck to be Indian Citizen. I love my country and always fight others for defending it on many issues, but what’s my mistake to suffer and feel stuck just because of being Indian. Why I am not getting simpler documents easily, which is my right. Is democracy a joke? They told to get single status certificate but in India so called IAS officers don’t know about it and throw us out as soon as they hear it. Even before throwing us out they let us come multiple times to their office to just meet them , so that they can throw us out by demeaning the integrity and regret being Indian Citizen.

Wow! Now we're getting arrested for being a sikh. No democracy.

What the pity that what the west boast about their democracy, capitalism, humanity etc has the side-effect which is really a tragic.?

Sikhs should critically understand the fact that this kirpan is a weapon and can't be wore in public this way just in the name of their religious belief. Gone are the days of Rajas and Maharajas, now it's the rule of law,the constitutional democracy....plz get away with all these nonsense asap.

Canada has so much land and a relatively small population, so seeing homeless crisis like this is beyond my imagination. \nIt just shows politicians just play politics. Democracy doesn’t solve homelessness.

Immigration numbers are too high. And from the wrong places (countries where people do not share Canadian values about human rights, democracy). The refugee stream should be seriously curtailed because it is being abused (why haven't any of the Syrians gone back to Syria now that the war is over?), and family reunification should be shrunk as a portion also because it is not very helpful to Canada.

kabhi sach bhi bol lia kro apni videos mai, har baar jooth hi bolna hota hai, lungi wale kahi ke, kuch bhi bakwas krlo, Gulam banaya hua hai sikh kaum ko, bahar mother of democracy chilate ho, gobar khane wale kahi ke

People blame trudeau.\nThis is a democracy.\nThe leader is a reflection of the people, its priorities and its values.\nIf you don't like what you see in parliament, time to look at yourself.\nIf canadians didn't like drugs, junk food and woke stupidity, they wouldn't have voted him in.\nIf trudeau ran for office in 1950, he would not have been close to winning.\nThe government was different then, but again, so were the majority of canadians

Who gets to decide whether or not we need so many people coming here in troubled times? Certainly not us. This is far from a democracy.

Freedom loving Canadians are starting to recognize evil when it rears its ugly head. AND, historians such as Alexander Tytler have stated that democracies only last 150 - 200 years. The signs are all there to see.?

Canadian ruling class markets the country as a bastion of freedom and equality. We immigrated, believing in that notion . Then, slowly came to realize that that belief is false .\nTruth is, canada is a fake democracy. The capitalist ruling class possesses all the rights and power in this country, and we immigrants are not seen as equal, but are being used to keep wages low . For canada to become the country it says it is , there needs to be an expansion of true democracy, into the workplace where we spend most of our time, and where the same ruling class invests very little of there's. \nSo say no to capitalism for a better canada. And yes to real democracy!

Is this the same place where terrorists glorified the assasination of a Prime Minister of the largest democracy on Earth?

Mabey if we were a true democracy and not run by a dictator

I'm Sikh and I think, India is just piece of sh*t, fake democracy, fking clowns are them leaders, no human rights, full with crime, corrupt country

I used to think we were very much the same and I wanted to live in the US for the weather. But as we go often I have found the atmosphere and attitude has changed greatly in the last few years. People we used to be friends with don’t speak to me anymore as I called them on their awful beliefs. I know it’s not everyone but those beliefs have become way more common. The US used to be more global but now has become way more worried about themselves. \nYou can not talk about politics in a way that’s just a calm exchange, the hate is palpable. I went to an event the morning after a mass shooting and was visibly upset, not one person there talked about it or really thought about it. I asked someone about their thoughts and said “I don’t know why we have so many shootings here in the US” \nEducation is my next thing. The people I talk to know nothing about Canada and that’s not such a surprise but I know more about the US than most Americans I’ve talked to.\nI agree with a comment previously 26:29 that the north east is better educated and less dangerous.\nI feel bad for you as this is harsh but even on the news when Americans talk about being the greatest country etc on earth it feels arrogant. Maybe some years ago but now….. not so much.\nI’m afraid for your Democracy and I think so many people are just not listening

fake democracy run by Rss hindutwa terrorist organization and supporters are responsible for destroying the country. Minority rights are next zero. Manipur India is a perfect example. Nobody cares. Anybody who's Minority just leve save your life and dignity. Leve govar bakths in govarstan

Why USA taking his democracy to Venezuela.?

The only and every problem for our country is...Population Mam..and nothing else. The peak of the pyramid is Population and followers are Land.. Laws.. Religion..Societies..Elective representation...Independence..Democracy Corruption...and lastly Rule of Law.❤???

Media is the fourth Pillar of democracy and you proved it .❤️

Why are they asking Africans to leave Canada? these people have stolen and made most African countries failed states by intervening in their governing systems so they can exploit our resources, through fake democracy they have installed puppets that work in the interest of their corporations that steal Africa resouces,now when people have lost hope in Africa then what else should they do more than flocking to these countries to seek greener life? If they dont want to see Africans invading their countries they should stop exploiting and bringing chaos to Africa,the equation is simple,LET AND ALLOW AFRICA TO PROSPER AND AFRICANS WILL STOP FLOCKING TO WESTERN COUNTRIES!!!!

This is beauty of democracy,

Poilievre should be dragged out - he is totally unfit to be there. He's responsible for concocting classic Republican style voter suppression in the 2015 election - that resulted in 172,000 Canadians being disenfranchised out of their most fundamental right in a democracy - their vote! That should disqualify him from holding public office!

Another Waste of people’s Taxes in the name of So called democracy…..

When a country is run by fools who just believe in democracy...this is bound to happen...\n\nI believe, there must be a religious leader of that country in the govt...who will guide the govt as per the religious beliefs of the majority of that country

This is called Democracy in Canada???

Now I'm starting to understand why Canada has, in recent years, been able to get away with more draconian laws: they have literally replaced the Canadians and most likely the foreign-born Canadians come from societies that have no idea about democracy.

Why isn't there a referendum on immigration and see if the people want more of it? and this country is suppose to be a so-called democracy.

What a loss for Canada? Criminals are such assets for this 'great' democracy.

Down with the Canadian khalistani terrorists\nFull support for free Quebec in Canada\nDon't preach the world's largest democracy

Why is our RCMP not arresting these criminals is a mystery and disgrace to our democracy

That's why i hate the leftists, Justin Trudeau, Biden, Nancy Pelosi, ... all this sort of hypocrites, mean useless politicians. From their mouths, democracy, equality, people, people, ... while all they truly care is their own power and money; and the worse/worst is they have been bringing down the whole nations .... oh Lord, where art thou?

That was a Taiwanese press reporter chasing with a question. Could be. Put in place.\n\nWhy so much misunderstanding?\n\nChina is a very hardworking nation. It has a robust governance. The misses of democracy are corrected in their governance. With a hard hand. That's all. \n\nI've heard many IT personnel who visited China from India saying the people are happy there.

I have never seen an equal to your critique of human capital.\nThe obvious and only relevant dichotomy expertly mapped however without addressing ageless conflict.\nYou present the issue to an immigrant born American with all the facts. The Indocentric values espoused in eurocentric rhetoric erase any imperial contacts from Eurasia Minor or the host country while employing employing the alien status of Canada to juxtapose what is truly a subsidy the United States gives to Canada human capital that runs the Western, while multiplying the cost of that subsidy by the loss of human capital from United States.\nWhile I mentioned eurocentric rhetoric before you have nearly made that redundant.\nThis is cutting edge education for immigrant born Americans. \nWhat is missing besides the consequences to India in this critique?\nWestern sapien, Aboriginal, metropolitan society, that Jeffersonian democracy was modeled after.

That was democracy ?

While both countries are free democracies, The United States Is A Constitutional Republic With A President As Head Of State & Head Of Government While Canada Is A Constitutional Monarchy With A King As Head Of State & A Prime Minster As Head Of Government.

democracy in china

THE ONLY HELP THE USA SHOULD BE GIVING THEM IS TO INVADE & ARM THE CITIZENS & TRADE HELP AFTERWORDS TO RETURN THEM TO DEMOCRACY.

XI = china is a democracy. ? open the door for all.
