My brother always wanted to move to the US, and finally did. He HATED IT. He had good health care, so that wasn't an issue, but he said the racism was incredible. He would talk about the road rage and violence he saw on a regular basis, the religion overload, the crazy politics with the big political rallies and events. He was very unhappy living there and was thoroughly disillusioned. The only things that he liked about it were all the concerts and sports events that he had access to, lol.

Move to a small QUIET TOWN were Tyler, like Uvalde, Texas???❤??. The States don't only lack affordable physical health care, its the MENTAL HEALTH CARE!!! And the reasons for said MENTAL ISSUES ???. Not saying Canada doest have our issues, but the culture,(GUNS MOSTLY ) combined with the lack of accessibility to health care .???

That one man that said it would take 74 years to pay for 1 year of tuition makes sense when you think if how 1 Candadian dollar is equal to about 62 Rupees. Once you figure that number and then do the ( 5 times the tuition) math, it's going to feel like an astronomical difference.

So why do they feel like they're more entitled to said resources before Canadian citizens/residents are??? Be happy your not getting your head chopped off in Uganda....

I don’t understand anything she said. She sounds like a flustered duckling ?

Man y’all need to cut the shit… these immigrants are not hurting anyone… ALL of us are immigrants… fighting over land that God created for ALL OF US is beyond wild to me… America isn’t fucked up because of immigration, it’s fucked up because of (selfish white ppl)… period. Y’all talk about them fucking up our country like YOU , yourself are not part of the problem with this “nation under God” ? \n\nThis land was conquered & stolen by selfish white ppl and they’ve been killing us ever since… not the other way around. \n\nEdit: Don’t comment on my comment trying to argue me because I said wtf I said❗️⚠️

Like always they didn't show full issue \nMan said how dare you talk like this to my daughter she looks screaming\nAnd Tatas no everything fine

When the man said “how dare you say that about my daughter” in a loud tone, the arguing girl was like”papaaaaa”… Yeh sahi hai pehle lad lo baad mein papa papa karte roo lo… these papa ki pariyan ??

As a Canadian here are my views on the problems here:\n1.Government waste/spending\n2. Insane taxes, we literally pay taxes on our tax here. When you add it all up the lower tax brackets after their 15% gst pay about 45% of their income in taxes alone. Provinces like Nova Scotia are disgusting when it comes to the tax they pay. \n3. Easy immigration, we should consider immigrants based on what they can do for Canada, we don't need hundreds of thousands who can't work or refuse to work. It's a strain on the system. The immigration also artificially increases housing costs.\n4.Government corruption, it's part of why the taxes are so high. It's also part of the recent hyperinflation Canada has suffered. Just look up Trudeaus WE charity Scandall or SNC Lavalin Scandal, some even say Trudeau was getting kickbacks from the vaccine which I have yet to see evidence of but I personally believe it. \n5. Politically illiterate voters and propaganda, here in Canada the government likes to keep it's people uninformed and how they do it is through propaganda. The Liberals have every major news source in Canada in their pocket and in order for you to get news that isn't influenced by them you have to specifically search for them by name, those include Rebel News, TFI Global, and True North. Almost everything else is incredibly biased, they selectively report the news and in many cases outright lie. This causes extreme political illiteracy in it's population.\n6. Housing rules, here in Canada there are some really stupid bylaws like the main floor of your primary dwelling must be 900sqft in some areas, plus building codes prevent cheap construction of homes. You could have a tiny home on piers and it wouldn't cost much but because of our laws and codes it's impossible. You need a proper foundation, footings, building permits, ad in order to get a permit you need to submit blueprints, etc. You can't just buy a prefab building set it on piers and live in it. That'd be too easy, that'd make housing affordable and the government wouldn't like that. \n7. Woke indoctrination centers, The public education system here is all about putting in regular kids and pumping out future Liberal voters. It's a mess.\n8. You can't defend yourself, In Canada you aren't allowed to carry a weapon for self defense. If a criminal breaks into your home you are supposed to do everything you can to escape rather than defend your property. Criminals have more protection under the law than the law abiding citizens. \n9. Low wages, because of immigration wages are low compared to the USA for most jobs in most locations\n10. Thigs cost more in Canada than the USA after taking into consideration currency conversion rates, even things manufactured in Canada\n11. The cold. Nobody likes the cold for the 4-6 months of the year that the higher populated areas of the country have it. The more densely populated areas also tend to be the warmest. \n12. Fascist leaders. It's no secret Justin Trudeau and the Liberals are fascists\n13. Governmental links to the WEF, you'll own nothing and you'll be happy or so their add said. The truth is Canadians can afford less and less under Liberal leadership which is no surprise since Justin Trudeau and Chrystia are supporters of the WEF.

This is sad if we can’t take care of ourself why are we supporting every ammunition to every other immigrant besides Mexicans, they are just as much allowed to be here as we are so what if they on the other side of water. Sad an sickening I know the people want them gone but why? We don’t want to work as it is they want too an want to give their families the best like just like your grandparents sn their parents did like I said pathetic an I hate that about this country love USA but damn this makes me sick to see an Hispanic American turn down their culture

This is the import of slave labor or more accurately said more slave labor. The jobs they will occupy will all be jobs that have not seen raises in decades. The immigration industry has been suppressing wages for 40 plus years so that large corporations have steady flow of cheep labor and those here will be forced to stay poor. This is what it looks like when the oligarchs run slave labor in the 21 century.

For me, I live in Vancouver, but when I'm done college, I'm hoping to find a job in Seattle and immigrate there. They recently opened up a Pokemon HQ there, Nintendo's hiring, Seattle's the HQ of Bungie, the maker of the Destiny games and much more! I feel like it's easier to find a job in the US than in Canada. In fact, my college instructor said so. There's more jobs there than in this small town. I'm heading towards SFU and I'm hoping to land a few coops, including one in Seattle to see if I like it there. And no, I do not care about healthcare, mass shootings or politics. The chances of you randomly being shot is about the same as getting ran over by a car. For healthcare, it's usually provided by your employer. But otherwise, you can buy it yourself as there's many options to choose from. Some of them are really good, but people are just overgeneralizing everything. My hope is that employment will eventually lead to permanent residency. Then, I can go buy a house in Texas, Florida or Colorado where it's much cheaper than Vancouver

pretending to be gay to get in Canada just like many who said they was 60 from Ukraine when they was in their 20s

It’s horrific how these ppl are forced to live, that is NOT life..reading the comments, it’s disheartening to see. Put yourselves in their shoes! Ask yourself many questions. Would you live your life under a corrupt government? Would you allow the Mexican police/gangs/drug lords, to walk in your home, kill your children, your family, got no reason and get away with it? Would you want to struggle just to feed your baby? Would you want to live how they live? Your country, my county is huge. But hey, it all comes down to greed and politics, right? It’s not about having compassion, it’s about these ppl taking your jobs, homes..am I right? These ppl work for Pennie’s a day, would you? We all deserve a good life, no? If you said no, then where is your God? Where is your compassion? Where is your kindness? Where is your LOVE? Oh how our world would be a much happier place if everyone thought like me. Yes, and sadly, it takes money and many other factors. \nBut if we go back 300-500 years when the white settlers came, took our land (oh I know I’m going to receive backlash and grief, hatred and stripe, and that’s ok) as a Native American person, my ppl could have fought and have y’all sent back to where y’all came from, and WE wouldn’t be living on shitty pieces of land, but every day we are grateful for what we have…don’t call me a savage, most of my family are white just like y’all LOL! But if we won, made you go back to where you came, would you have gone freely? Hell no! We HAD rights, and it was taken away….and take a long hard look at what’s happening today! Country against country..race against race..ppl no longer believe in God and our world is turn to shit…ppl walk past a homeless child and do fuck all (I’ve seen it many times..and yes, I help) stop being so fucking greedy, if you want to help take care of your homeless, then get off your asses and start helping your homeless ppl…will that happen? He’ll no! Why? Because YOU people who are against these ppl who want a better life in America, won’t even make an effort to help your own, now isn’t this called “calling the kettle black” because you simply walk past them, you stare at them with disgust! So don’t be hypocrites! And don’t go and make comments about acting like you truly care for your homeless when you couldn’t give two-shits about your own! \nSad, really fucking sad!

Racism ?is everywhere! I went to a lot of the places you have said. Some of these Black places don’t like Black Americans as well. I live in Canada ?? but I know that there is no “Perfect Place”.

I wonder if people regret twisting trumps words when he wanted to cull ILLEGAL immigration,and people made it out like he said all immigrates....clearly if this isn't offensive to you,you aren't an immigrant.cause no immigrant who spent years learning the language and history and went through the screening process,would be like yeah this is cool.

This sounds like Spain with the 40% taxes. Are you guys able to save some money? I'm thinking to go because a fellow Spanish friend said it's expensive but you can save money unlike Spain.. Was she lying? She is a kitchen helper. Thanks for the brutally honest video ladies ❤

Wait a minute CNN you are complicit in this. And you show one women crying. You look at the masses it is 100,000’s of men. And few women and children. And a couple months months ago you said this wasn’t a problem? But hey with how the geo politics are shifting and you can’t control it any more because you’re fake bias so called “news” is propaganda and everyone see right through it that’s why you can barely muster a few likes from old boomers who are going to die in a couple years and you need new cattle for left wing and democrats to ploy as you see fit. Your days are over good riddiance!

First, I want to thank you for making this video. The health of a country, or the health of an individual which are clearly linked, is dependent on our ability to see ourselves and each other, and make necessary changes to improve in the areas that we lack personally, and as communities in our beautiful country of Canada and other countries as well. Well, it’s a work in progress. I appreciate how you’ve inspired us to speak about things that aren’t necessarily spoken about. At least not where I live and have lived in Canada. Thank you so much for that opportunity. It doesn’t matter about my opinion. What matters is sharing our own thoughts, feelings, and experiences because they aren’t debatable. \n\nWe are in violation of Multiple Human Rights violations against Inuit , Indigenous and Métis people by the United Nations. Most have no water to drink—not even boiled water and bottled water is available sometimes when it’s brought to reservations . Children don’t have the same access to books. So many thousands of bodies of children taken to residential schools from their parents arms and community for over 160 years yet the deep wounds aren’t given compassion by most people anymore and systemic abuse actively impacts them and therefore all of Us . We are all one whether we see people as other’ or not. We’re humans. \n They’re not seen in media unless it’s a bad story yet we’re only now teaching one mandatory class by non indigenous people. Solution: elders teach their grandchildren languages that weren’t erased by genocide and environmental /spiritual cultural practices and lifestyles before they’re gone by paying first people elders and streaming it into all Canadian classrooms so the children can see a future where they’re valued and all Canadian kids can get a full education and learn accurate history. Making canoes, baskets, sacred ceremonies, food growing (that they taught to pilgrims so they’d survive here), etc. No, I’m not indigenous. I’m an immigrant like all but the first people. They’ve an amazing culture that’s been all but lost . When we don’t see ourselves represented in any media, any careers, and start our lives in extended poverty based on our race, and all that was taken still today, it’s no wonder the teen suicide rate for indigenous youth is more than double / triple all non - indigenous youth. The numbers are growing. \nI live in Care due to my physical disabilities . An international nursing student worked for me providing personal care like showers, meal prep etc and over that year, she said she wouldn’t have moved here specifically because of a few things I’ve mentioned. She told me Canada was sold to people in her country of origin as a ‘multicultural’ safe haven without extreme racism still prevalent today and within our history. \n\nI’m ashamed of Canadian government promises for over 100 years that aren’t fulfilled. All children deserve healthy drinking Water and an education. Period. Especially, the ambassadors of this amazing land that they see as themselves without separation. That’s accurate. We will have nothing to stand upon if we don’t protect the earth. It will go on without us. \n\nI see many things in the comments I’ve seen or experienced, unfortunately. This is a beautiful country for so many reasons. It’s important that from such abundance we listen to your video, look at ourselves honestly and i feel, be the change we want to see in the world like Gandhi said.\n\nMuch love and healing from an All inclusive advocate. All life matters.

Oh stop. This kind of video is the type of thing that makes “Caucasian’s” not like you. Quit your whining. Born and raised Edmontonian. I’m 52 years old and have never witnessed outright racism against blacks. Yesterday I went to see a doctor. I have fibromyalgia and can barely walk but I had to cause I don’t have a car atm. The waiting room was PACKED. I asked about seeing a doctor and was told “ he’s not seeing patients today”. I asked “what about all of these people”? She said “they’re all immigrants and he is seeing them”. I’ve lived here my entire life but I guess he wasn’t seeing Canadians. I find the black people that complain and cry racism haven’t done much with their life. I have friends that are VERY SUCCESSFUL black people and they never talk like this. You just wouldn’t not hear it out of their mouths. And they live in Edmonton . Hard working, decent people they are. I’m facing homelessness come July 1. Ain’t nobody coming to save me. Rent increase of $430 dollars will do that tho. Everyone is struggling to some degree. Instead of further dividing us, we should be coming together to come up with solutions to help each other. This kind of video does nothing but harm but continue I guess……

Discrimination is in her head, she said there are black people maintaining jobs ? racists are everywhere turn on the lights and they scatter like roaches, what is in the dark will always be seen in light.

I guarantee people when you go shopping wherever you're at look in the parking lots just watch and you'll see two being dark SUVs they just sit there and watch the look for vulnerable young women Alone by themselves I'm not naming a specific country like I said but they all work together all criminals work together

Ok, did you hear correctly, they said Venezuelans crossing Mexicos border! Stop blaming only Mexicans. So many other countries come illegally. While you don’t apply or accept a hard work job somebody else is more than willing. It’s not their fault their good at work. Plus most our homeless choose to be that way due to drugs or mental illness. Who knows what else. So does Venezuelans sound like Mexicans, nope, or get your ears checked.

And our family migrated back in the 70s , 80s and 90s. Its still that Colonizer French European mentality White supremacy. \n\nNo one really wants us around the world except for our places of origin.\n\nLike i said kick the colonizers out of our country s / port like countries like Jamaica. Jamaica is a port not a country just like all those other Westindian ports- they are colonies

I thought they said you can just walk across and say your seeking asylum this doesn’t look like they are being let walk across just goes to show not only do you need to listen to what the democrats lies are but also republicans lies

They said no Venezuela people because they come from commie country.\n\nThe dems don’t like that voting base ..

I hate to say this and I will probably get a lot of hate because of it but migrants support this country also. They work a job said no one wants to do. Taxes are taken out of their money. They going to the stores. They buy things at Walmart. They support Target and other stores like them. When they buy things taxes are taken out. So one hand washes the other.

What! I thought all Democrats called republicans racist for the wall? And I’m pretty sure that all Democrats, yes I said ALL Democrats wanted open boarders? Well why is it that the Democrats are still in and you F****** are trying to keep the flood gates closed right now because your ideas were stupid!!!! Now like gas and food prices everything is out of control!!!!! This economy is so bad and it’s your man Biden!!!! This is a video of what you leftist voted in all because you freaks can’t think!!

God’s love is Not lawless and l heard some migrants in YouTube speak mandarin said they come USA because USA very easy make money, many of them are not persecuted or poor, but USA government gives them all needs as poor people. Democrats are evil and corrupt open borders like this, government should send them all back,do not take one of them then they will not come anymore.

Im hispanic and instead of following the sheep and migrating to a highly saturated country like the us i decided to migrate to another country that was in demand of a young workforce since they had an aging population problem. Now i am happy citizen of said country with a local wife \n\nSeriously people if a country is saturated then its saturated alot of countries are begging for good hardworking people

This sad I understand that people have to come in the states the legal way but when your country don’t have real rules in place to protect your family hell I would come the USA too people get sick and tired of the killings but like I said still have to do it the legal way

THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING! Democrats want chaos AND A NEW VOTING BLOCK Since they can’t win on their ideas. The corrupted and inept Biden will keep them coming till about 6-8 before election in 2024 hoping Americans will forget. GOD HELP US IF THEY (FBI, CIA, MEDIA, GOOGLE, FAKEBOOK) can manage another “win” for Biden. If he wins again, kiss your way of life goodbye! As soon as the democrats control all 3 houses, they will am,e these 20 million plus illegals citizens. Mayorka said .There is about 20 million “displaced migrants” needing refuge. That translates to more like 50 million immigrants they want to bring over. WE ARE LOW ON HOUSING! Food will become scares too, hospitals overcrowded. Fun times ahead. And a lot of these people have criminal backgrounds, many can’t read or write……?

And Trump was made fun of when he said this is considered an Invasion...\n\nYeap, that is what it looks like..!

I live in Canada and I feel like most blacks living here are in denial about racism but like she said their sneaky with it

Didnt you guys have that bald guy on not too long ago and he said “weve got it under control”\n\nDoes that look like under control to you? You sold America out for Soros money. Shame on you.

Oh, but according to the media no attempts of mass entry into the US happened like the Republicans said it would if title 42 ended........yeah okay. Wake TF people

Really were you gonna go where they put up with attitude s like yours .from the recent news reports your sista Kamala got her feelings hurt by them pissed Africans your not welcome there is what she said

EVEN JESSE WATTERS FROM FOX NEWS SAID HE DONT LIKE CANADA AND HE WHITE !

Like Roberto Duran said, “No màs”

Sorry but like 99.9 percent of those people are not Mexicans they're central Americans and they're entering illegally Mexicans have said they're absolutely tired of this cause it gives Mexicans a bad name cause people assume they're all Mexicans.

That doesn't look like people seeking asylum, that looks like a hostile invasion. Any other country that was being invaded by thousands of people would've used deadly force to stop said invasion.

Like trump said , they are not sending their best .

What’s funny is, the CIA and the Bush/Obama era destroyed Venezuela’s economy. They put sanctions on them in an attempt to overthrow Chavez. They placed embargo’s on Venezuela since 2005 and Venezuela’s economy collapsed in 2010. The Venezuelan government broadcasted and circulated a confidential memo from the U.S. embassy to the CIA revealing U.S. devastating clandestine operations (Operation Pincer). And Now…”the roosters are returning home.” This is all Americas doing. The United States is thee number one terrorist regime in the world holding over 750 military bases around the world, just poking and prodding governments like a large bully. And as we see today, from Africa (Uganda, SA, Nigeria, Kenya), Russia, Saudi, even NATO members such as Turkey and France and even Egypt (Americas biggest ally) was found in the latest leaked documents of U.S. spying, to have sold Russia some 43,000 rockets in its fight against Ukraine. As we can see, all the bullshit this country has put out and STILL arrogantly putting out, all lands are turning on her just as the Bible said would happen. America is AND WILL be getting… what she deserves. Y’all better get ready. WW3 is already here. The nukes just haven’t dropped yet. There’s an angelic presence above they’re calling UAP’s “holding back the winds.”

Bc it’s not your land tf y’all keeping the people that lived here before you out like they have a right to be there, but y’all will do anything to keep it protected from us fucking white people. Yes I said while people bc they’re the ones that did it

They need to start the border wars like squid games green light red light ???? nah but fr tho the US need military personnel on the US border u can't even get a decent position in a job now unless u speak Spanish black and white and Asian people don't speak Spanish why they come here and force it upon everyone American it not a law but it's definitely enforced by those in charge like managers who Hispanic or Mexican etc my manager was racist asf telling me I can't get promoted because I'm black said same thing to my white freind she bring race into it for both of us also told us we don't speak Spanish and u got to know Spanish ? I wanted to slap tf out her kawala built ass because been busting my ass but nah when I quit with my white freind we gonna quit as rudely as possible we walking out the backdoor that trips a alarm ?

I can fully relate and agree with everything you said and more not said. I never thought I would hate being Canadian or my home country but Justin pushed me past the line. And I even premoted that elitest spolied ahole in the first elections. Now I want him well it starts with D. \n\nI live between Winnipeg my home town and Montreal over the last 20 years. And I like and hate both cities at times but realize neither are lovable. \n\nMontreal is grey 80% of the timeand the people are so rude and hurtful. I hate the french just absolutly hate them. Not becasue of the langauge, but how they are so gross in every standard of life. They speak a way that is offensive and rude. They hate all outsiders and want to live in a closed embreed society.\n\nI couldn't imagine how nice this city could be if they would drop the bs discrimination of the nonsense language laws. It is systimatic discrimination. \n\nWinnipeg is green and sunny in summer but winter is very very harsh as Canadian all know. Winnipeg has friendly people, but also some very violant people to the point I get into fights and or breakup fights and had to open carry a knife, and do wing chun. It is just harsh all around. \n\nThen I look into Toronto, and well that is even more expensive then anywhere else. \n\nAs I say I agree with all your points and maybe Portigal or Spain are intersting. Maybe after this was in Ukraine I will go there to make money, and move to a nice affordable place where I can keep working and enjoy the changes it offers me.

People, Islamophobia is NOT acceptable. These people need to stop imposing their beliefs on the British people, but they should still be able to keep their religion, because that is their right. As long as they’re not harming or killing anyone, they should be accepted. Muslims need love, just like the rest of us. Us humans should be able to live in peace.\n That being said, poisoning dogs is just NOT acceptable either.

One of the things that I don't get is why Canadian businesses hardly made any effort to explore other markets other than the Canadian & US market. Canada is located in the middle between Asia & Europe and they also are located pretty close to Latin American countries. Yet very few Canadian companies are willing to expand beyond the US market. I feel like Canadian companies are too complacent and like the video said risk averse. Having said that, I don't think being risk averse is such a bad thing. At least the local banks can withstand crises better compared to a high risk business environment like the US. There are always pros and cons in every environment to me.

Manitoba is underrated. And, especially Winnipeg with the Forks. Super friendly ppl. That is what ppl dont know. It is the moniker. Friendly Manitoba. That said the negatives are very true. Weather is brutal. Too cold and windy while the summer are infested with bugs. So doing outside sports is a no go zone. Sorry as a Canadian i like my hockey and golf a bit too much. Its just not pleasant in Manitoba for lifestyle unless you are a homebody. So it really depends on your active lifestyle. Shout out to VJ's tho, love that guilty pleasure dinner. Rivals the famous Quebec casse croute taste.

Incredible. Hey Trudeau I hope you have a moment to review the unanimous statements posted here.\nA serious shortage of housing and a health system that can't be fixed .\nI'm no expert but probably 20 nurses , doctors and surgeons if spoken to have some insight on what they are talking about.\nIt was four years ago my family physician looked over the X-rays of my back and he said that if I'm don't have surgery within two months I will end up with a life altering disability.\nHaven't had the surgery and it hasn't even been discussed with my surgeon.\nMind you it's a 42 month waiting time to even get into his office.\nBring them all bring everyone Trudeau you pile of crap. \nMaybe the country would be better off if instead of spending 6k a night on your hotel and just spend 4k like the rest of us working stiffs
