I am a French Canadian born here, and I want to move out of this country. Everything about this country’s culture, education, health care, crime, agriculture, economy, literally everything is unrecognizable, and it’s happened all in like 8 years. Every single thing my grandfather fought for in WW2 is gone.

A lot of immigrants to Canada have no intention of making Canada their home. They want the passport and citizenship status to have as a status in their own country. Often these people speak of how lame they find Canada to be and how little they could care about what Canada is as a country and a nation. Our Government doesn't care about making the qualifications to becoming Canadian a more profound commitment. The Federal government leaves the cost and the burden of assimilation on the Canadian tax payers so they don't care. The government makes their money.

F Trudeau this guy let the islamist that is telling the government what to do telling canadians f canadas laws and values all non fight sharia law. Take care off your homeless stop immigrating Islamists

I am a Canadian. Canada is run by a racist blackface Tyrant Trudeau. The economy is s#$&t, health care is a mess, the standard of living is down. Canada is a socialist hell hole. Do not come if you disagree with Trudeau he charges you with a trumped up charge and will freeze the bank account of any dissent. Also if Trudeau determines you have posted hate speech LIFE in PRISON. Do not come better to go to a free country. Canada is not a free country.

canadian government only cares about immigrants

It is a damn disgrace that Canadian citizens are back of the line while immigrants get preferential treatment and all sorts of grants and incentives. I think white canadians are going to be the minority very soon.My small town 80 km north of Toronto has gone from 99.5%white to about 15% east Indian in a matter of a year and a half.The pressure on our infrastructure,health care,resources is going to destroy everything. This is all orchestrated to diminish the voice and influence of those who built this country.Trudeau is bringing in votes, same as Biden. They basically have imported life time Liberal voters.I wouldn't doubt they are obligated contractually to vote for Trudumb and his WEF goofs.No help for health care,homeless people but billions for immigrants and war. We are headed for disaster.Since they are renaming streets they might as well rename Toronto to Mumbai>

I have dual citizenship. Born in Canada. I have a beautiful American mom and a French Canadian dad. I lived in Florida and Maine. Came back to Canada. I always come back to Canada. USA is awesome, but in small doses. I can see myself going back for a couple years when my kids have have all graduated. Universities and health care is more affordable in Canada. Generally, more chill and less amped up as well. lol. I love both my countries though.

the wait for housing around Niagara is 6 years and the wait for rehabilitation services is 4 years, the government does not care about the current pain Canadians are dealing with, they are left to deal with it alone. our government has left us.

i personally find it looks bad to all canadians which i am its sad that we are no longer taking care of own , which we always used to do

The homeless problem has become way worse over the years. Canada has become way too expensive to live with the outrageous prices in rent, heat, hydro, food, property taxes it’s bloody outrageous. Ppl loose their jobs and find they can’t afford to pay their rents and mortgages along with all the other bills if they can’t find another job right away. And companies are to hire minority over white ppl. A white male in Ontario, forget about it. White ppl have become minority now in the work force. Absolutely the cost of living has caused the homeless problem to sky rocket. As far as the system it’s true that the system takes care of foreigners first over Canadians. I remember many years ago I tried to get student assistance to take courses and I was rejected because I lived with a parent, the person on the other end of the phone told me strait out if I was a foreigner I’d of gotten the assistance, and this was way before Trudeau was in the picture!!!

The problem is we have a drama teacher running the country and his fiscal plan is the economy ‘will take care of it self’ that’s his quote not mine and Canadians keep voting him him. Reap your rewards you simpilron canucks. Largest spending country per capital of any country in the world on covid. And the cool aid drinkers of Canada and opposition leaders praised him for it don’t worry about paying anything backs it’s ok we’re learning from our citizens OMG

We need better government, we need better leader's, they need to get their priorities straight which is take care of Canadian's first before taking on alien's and all these asylum seeker's. Canada need's to take better care of it's people...PERIOD

You think Trudeau has screwed up a little try a lot . Trudeau does not care none of the problems that canadians face effect Trudeau and his flunkies . But truthfully all polititions are corrupt . When you give away millions and millions of dollars to other countries in which is not even Trudeaus money its the tax payers dollars and our government should have no right in spending that money, its simply theft , stealing from Cadians to throw away on his own agenda.

you're telling me there's no shortage of health care workers? 5 million canadians retiring in next 10 yrs.\n\nin short time it's negative, it takes time for new comers to settle and move into more productive jobs, would you be able to survive in longer run on min wage job?

The immigration problem is only part of the problem. The liberals are the problem Justin Trudeau needs to be removed from office These immigrants are taking all of the Canadian citizens money.these politicians need to be held accountable. Everyone of them is guilty of treason for not taking care of the Canadian citizens first.

I am not paying for these refuges anymore …… Trudeau is a liberal Haya Paya ….. no more refuges.. It’s enough take care of Canadians first …

Canada never cared about the homeless citizens. Only when it became refugees, did alarm bells start ringing, because heaven forbid migrants and refugees are homeless.\nThese people are given priority to Canadian citizens.

Simple answer for mass immigration: future votes for liberals. They don't care about Canadians or the quality of life. The crime is through the roof, it has become a third world country.

The Government of Canada does not care about born and raise Canadians. Especially the ones on disabilities..

I couldn’t care less about what new immigrants think. Canadian born people are struggling to get by.

Mass immigration for sure destroying Canada, so is the outdated, poor school system, health care, dummy politicians and leaders. I sometimes wonder if Canadians really has modern skills left to survive in this 21st century to call themselves as developed country.

I can't help thinking that it is part of a bigger plan since the Liberals are part of the WEF and they are totally not even caring about something that is so blatant. Maybe with the assisted death agenda and Canadians not able to have children it is a way of bringing in immigrants from third world and war refugee countries.

Immigration was fine up until the Liberals decided to become globalists. Before that all immigrants were united under the Canadian flag. The Canadian experience, being Canadian, and honoring the Canadian tradition were all real things. Then the Liberals came along and pushed Canada into becoming a multicultural state where everyone became a hyphenated Canadian. Fast forward to today and the hundreds of cultures in Canada are all in Silos, caring more about their original homeland over their adopted home. They've even brought their ancient disputes with them. It's a sad state of affairs. Ultimately designed to divide people, kill the Canadian identity and keep Liberals in power indefinitely.

The Liberals not only don't care about Canadians, they also don't care about immigrants. They and their friends only see people as a means to an end.

The corporations need a minimum wage labour force.to exploit. Mass immigration is not good for Canadians who can not access health care. No affordable housing means tent cities popping up everywhere.

Canada is totally overrated by the canadian government imigration propaganda. It has been trapped naive people all around the world. It could be called SCAMNADA. Extremely unafordable and the health care system is a joke.\nLife in freezing countries is too expensive due winter gears, hitting, cars, insulation in every building or house, gas, salt on streets,  shovelling, mandatory insurance for everything, health care is a joke, and so on. It is endeless. \nCanada is definitely an uninhabitable place. Basicaly the whole canadian population live very close the US border due the miserable freezing endeless drepressing 9 months cold weather. Nobody wants go north. Freezing weather makes life unbearable and extremely expensive.

IT'S A HELL OF A LOT CHEAPER, TO TAKE PEOPLE OFF OF WELFARE AND HELP THEM, WITH ON THE JOB TRAINING, FOR CANDIAN COMPANIES ALREADY ASTABLISHED!!!\n\nTHEN THE PEOPLE THAT ARE WORKING, IN THE TRADES AND HAVE A JOURNEYMAN STATUS, TRAIN THEN TO BECOME BUSINESS OWNERS, CREATING MORE JOBS FOR THE NEW PEOPLE BEING TRAINED IN THAT FIELD!!!\n\nIN STEAD OF HANDING OUR BUSINESSES OVER TO FOREIGNERS AND HAVE CANADIANS WORKING FOR THEM, HAVE THE NEW COMERS, WORKING FOR CANADIAN BUSINESSES!!!\n\n\nBETTER TO BE YOUR OWN BOSS, THAN TO BE WORKING FOR SOMEONE, THAT DOESN'T CARE ABOUT CANADA AND IT'S PEOPLE!!!

Mass immigration doesn’t work ! Immigration and integration go hand in hand . I have the most respect for those who want a better life ( hard under this government ) and realize that comes from hard work and good financial planning , these days it’s just open the doors and tax the tax payers to supplement a income for far to many who don’t have anything to add to the economy . I don’t care what your race is ! Where u come from is your ancestors , the first thing they need to do is ‘m become Canadian ‘’ , I could care less about your culture unless it intrigues me ! Work hard , make the same sacrifices that those who built this country did and then you should have a sense of being a Canadian

Canada is bringing in millions of bottom of the barrel migrants. Take care of Canadians! Not 3rd world country migrants that won't even smile at you in public!

Canada is a doomed country that has nowhere to go but down I don't care who gets elected we are going to end up being a third world shithole country because there is not one person in any political party that will ever do what needs to be done because all any of them care about is what all the leader's of the world think about them not what Canadians think and this is a fact

The government doesn't care at all about Canadians. They don't care about the country. Revisit Trudeau's old stock Canadian speech.They are trying to mask the economic crash ongoing in Canada. But hey gta and maritimes love these liberals. Republic of Alberta

THESE CORPORATIONS ARE SUBSIDIZED BY THE CORPORATION CALLED THE GOVERNMENT THAT IS WHY THEY GET THE JOB PLUS THEY TAKE FROM THE MEDICAL SYSTEM THAT THEY HAVE NOT PUT A DIME INTO. PLUS THEY ARE ALSO TAKEN CARE OF TILL THEY GET A JOB EG. FOOD LODGING ETC....(THESE ARE ASSYLUM REFERGEES AND SO CALLED IMMIGRANTS THAT JUMP THE QUEUE) IT DOESN'T TAKE AN EDUCATION TO REALIZE THIS. WE NEED TO PUT OUR CANADIAN CITIZEN TO WORK FIRST INSTEAD OF BRAIN WASHING EVERYBODY THAT CANADIANS DON'T WANT TO WORK!!! WAKE UP PEOPLE IT ISN'T WHAT THEY LEAD US TO BELIEVE

Harrison, you've laid it all out here in plain English. Even the immigrants are mumbling and stumbling over each other these days. Many younger (under 50) Canadians among us have been indoctrinated by our education system with it's left leaning doctrine, to believe this massive influx of immigrants is good and as it should be in Canada. Naturally they have no model to compare with other than stories from their elders as to how things used to be. So they have blindly accepted the status quo without question. \nOf course, many(most)politicians, teachers, professors, reporters etc. being members of this same under 50 age group have reinforced this lie. As you've clearly pointed out, at the end of the day are those that profit from such a policy, like employers large and small, landlords and of course politicians who reap the favors of those in the winners circle. And the losers, all those in the under 50 age groups who scratch their head and wonder why they have no job, no medical care, no house and no future. Good post!

Canadians DO NOT WANT IMMIGRATION!!!\nThese Liberals/NDP have NO IDEA what Canadians want and they DON’T CARE!!!

This was obviously a hail Mary pass by the world's best known blackface hobbyist to get re-elected. He is gambling that the votes he loses from people who were Canadian citizens in 2021 will be more than outweighed by the Liberal voters he hope he is importing. Many of them may be able to vote illegally in the next election if they don't have their citizenship. Anyway, there is always the next election, although Justin is a narcissist and probably doesn't care whether the Liberals have a future when he is gone. However a lot of the people around him do. It is also, in a sense, a vanity project. When Justin Trudeau said that Canada was the first post-national state it was just another of his idiocies. Now, he is trying to make it a reality, and he has made real progress towards his goal.

if they dont like Canada, leave, we, do not care. canadians arent whining about canada. see us leaving????? leave, make room for real citizens. please and thank you!!!

What the Canadian government should be concerned with, is that its Canadians who are leaving. And let this be a clue to all new comers, if a country does not respect and take care of its own first, how can you trust it? Its just a matter of time before they screw you! that's a truth you have neglected to see.

All of them are using our country like a trampoline to go somewhere else. When they are getting older, they are coming back for pension and medical care. They need the Canadian passport, nothing else. Unfortunately, we need people to live here forever, not temporarily for education and citizenship.

Wait till you need Specialist Care and then the “Canadian dream” will turn into a nightmare very fast.\n\nI am surprised the student said the healthcare is great, because he probably never really used it since he’s still young at this time.

WHY DOES ANY ONE CARE IF THEY LEAVE. ASK WHY SO MANY NATURAL BORN CANADIANS LEAVING

If Canadians can't even get ahead, why do we care whether new immigrants are struggling here.

Trudeau,,how about yourself care of your own homeless Canadians . What about us.

In 2004 I wrote a somewhat famous article called 'Top 8 reasons not to immigrate to Canada'. In short, the Canadian authorities tried to destroy my life. They made it so that I could not be employable in Canada. So I moved to the U.S. in 2005 and then some years later I moved permanently to the Philippines. I am happy that so many years later videos like yours are saying essentially the same things that I did. I was ahead of my time. I will never go back to Canada. Not to live, not to visit, not even a connecting flight. Too cold, too expensive, taxes are astronomical, no culture, no freedom, no jobs, no opportunities, only modern slavery, worst healthcare system, unbearable political correctness, crime infested/drug infested, xenophobic people, too depressing. It has become a North Korea style dictatorship in the western world.\n\n\nTheir are many reasons why Canada has fallen apart. But the number one reason is ‘multiculturalism’. My friends, multiculturalism simply does not work. Different cultures do not come together and mix, different cultures come together and clash. The world is divided into different countries for a reason: because people hate each other and only want to be with their own kind. The number two reason for Canada’s demise is ‘socialism’. In this modern era of aging populations, it is mathematically impossible for socialism to continue. The government does not have the money to take care of old people and provide healthcare, pensions and the various other benefits, even with the astronomical taxation that burdens hard working Canucks. Well Canada, you had a good run. Time for Canucks to move to an emerging country. We welcome you here in Southeast Asia.

Canadian leaving to Russia for better health care housing better school system and No crazy stuff like Sogi.

I am 66 , I had to take my ill wife to emergency at the Peterborough hospital about 3 months ago. After sitting for 2.5 hours in an over crowded emergency room, I asked how much longer before we see a doctor. We were told by a nurse it would be another few hours at least and it could be up to 5 more hours after that to see the specialist she needed. So the wait could be 10.5 hours, we waited 2 more hours, then we got up and left. If we ever go back it will be in an ambulance. But to be honest We are done with this broken, rotting health care system. I blame the bum that has destroyed this country and destroyed the Canadian health care system.

But whenever I talk to Canadians most say they would prefer Trudeau over fascists. So we are stuck in the cultural war where nobody cares about actual economics.

?? Too many immigrants & not enough affortable housings , schools , medical cares , jobs are becoming a big problems for many native Canadians , imagine what new immigrants have to struggle to face?! ... Sad that , many Good , Friendlier & Happier World of the 1960s , 1970s , 1980s , & 1990s are hard to find nowsdays in 2024 in around the World ... People have changed ... So the World changed ... We manifest the World around us ... We begining to feel the effects of the spreading of Selfishness , Greed & Hatre around the World over the decades ... We reap what we sow ... ???

it is very hard for Canadians right now, the cost of every thing is 50-200% higher right now, no jobs for Indians, reason given we want to diversified employees ,there are too many Indians , waiting list for day care is 2 years

I'm surprised by how much everyone promotes moving to Nova Scotia, given the housing shortage that has led to exorbitantly high rents, a one-bedroom apartment in an old building costs 1,600, and in new building costs 3,500 per month. And for three people I pay 85 dollars of electricity every two months. Internet is 105 dollars per month. Professional salaries barely cover rent, food, and car expenses, as they are quite low, often ranging between $50,000 and $60,000 for positions requiring 5 to 10 years of experience, and sometimes even lower. Before you even see your paycheck, expect at least 30% to be deducted for taxes, as calculated by a Nova Scotia tax calculator. The healthcare system is struggling; last year, joining a list to be assigned a family doctor was estimated to take up to three years. For those seeking care at walk-in clinics, you must arrive before 7 am and wait in line; they only see the first 15 people, typically just on Mondays. If you're last, you might wait until noon or later to be seen. After working for 40 years, the pension is approximately $1,200, or less if you haven't worked the full duration with salaries over 60,000. \n \nI forgot to mention that prices in stores are without an additional 15% tax, you should add that to every product or service you purchase. If you want to go to a restaurant, an economical one, and buy a lasagna and something to drink, it will cost you at least 70 dollars. McDonalds and Tim Hortons, for three people, may cost 40 dollars, but it is your health. \n \nThe government is investing millions to attract students and new immigrants, making labor significantly cheaper for large companies. Individuals with low wages can't even afford the cheapest rent, resulting in some living in tents across cities and towns in Nova Scotia. With an annual inflation rate of 15% to 25%—and the official rate reflecting only a detailed list of products deemed as basic food items by the government—only the minimum wage is legally required to increase when deemed appropriate by the government. Other wages increase only if the employer decides to do so. How often do they do this out of kindness to their employees? That's a good question. \n \nYour work experience in other countries does not count. They want people with Canadian experience, so it is better to think you will start with a 35,000 salary per year. A house cost between 450,000 to 2,500,000. When are you going to save to pay for a house? The cheapest ones can be 200 years old. A 100 m2 apartment, new, not very elegant but nice, can cost more than 2 million dollars in downtown Halifax. People say it is due to money laundry, and for sure is not because the medium class is buying them. \n \nI have many friends, who graduated from Canadian colleges and universities that haven't gotten a job in their career even after four years of graduation... and the list is longer. Please, be honest with people
