I listened to your chat. I did not appreciate some of your reasons for why people leave Canada. First of all life is what you make it. There are lots of things to do if you are interested in being active. Canada is a very beautiful country and there are lots of places to visit and enjoy. \nYou need to educate yourself about what people are paid in the US and Canada. The minimum wage is a lot higher in Canada. I suggest that you leave Canada and then you will appreciate what a wonderful country we live in. Go to Trinidad for example and buy groceries ...pay over a thousand dollars a week for food, then tell me that food is too expensive in Canada. (25.00 for a box of cereal)!Go to a hospital there and you will wait for a whole day just to be seen. Yes, we have a shortage of medical doctors and nurses here, but they are trying to fix that. Sure we pay taxes, but if you or someone in your family needs a heart transplant, a knee replacement or whatever, you will get it FREE in the hospital, and while you are in the hospital, your bed will have sheets and pillow cases. Drive your car on the roads in Trinidad and the potholes will ruin your tires, not to mention the frame of the car. Your taxes also maintains parks, roads and bridges for the safety and enjoyment of everyone. The government has no control over the weather, so complaining that it is too cold or rainy is up to mother nature. During the lockdown I am sure you received money from the government to help you, everyone did. Do you think other countries paid their people money to help them get through this crisis?? NO!\nI love Canada, it has been good to me and I never regretted emigrating here 42 years ago. I go traveling to other countries and I see how other people live and I am happy to come home. Appreciate what you have or if you are so unhappy, use the passport that you said is so powerful.

Because of the communist Justin Trudeau and his buddy jagmeet Singh who have together ruined this once great country.

#1 reason I would leave and I’m a Canadian is Trudeau. He’s a jerk. Canada was so much better without this asshole. I live in Toronto. Lucky enough to buy a house downtown in 1995 and we have good jobs. So $ isn’t a factor like for other people. But the liberals are ruining this beautiful country.

Liberals have ruined the country for far too many people ! - They are communists and have the freedom lovers really upset. Many are leaving or wanting to leave this 'dictatorship' it has become ! This talking is trying to make lemonade from all those lemons !

US paapiland. So many countries they ruined

Let’s stop giving Quebec all Alberta oil money and Ontario resources and just give them Justin Trudeau and all the liberal people who ruin the the rest of the country.

Socialist Republic of Canada, that is true but social programs came with price, health care in Canada is the ONLY good thing of the Canadian system, no other benefit to be in Canada. I think at this point where the homes are just a dream , where inflation is close to double digits Canada is not anymore an interesting destination for the economic immigrant. That should give the liberals a serious chill, one may think! Yet Canada thinks to drop its points system for bulk as it has a failed economy ( thx to Liberals) and its productivity is just 50% if compared to 1981. Trudeau and his cronies ruined AGAIN this country ( as his father did in 70's) the decade will be a nightmare for millennials.

Trudeau is ruining our beautiful country. We need to put a stop on this ASAP please guys =(

I was born and lived in canada for 26 years... lol its the goverment ruining this country since w.w.1

Maybe your liberal open door policies which have ruined Europe aren't working. Islam has no place outside of Muslim countries. Say what you wish and i mean no harm by saying it but Islam has fractions which are still violent and barbaric. We dont go over and populate their countries for a reason. WE DONT FIT IN

I share this with my family. Justin Castro is ruining our country.

What can we do about this bozo running and ruining our country

Islam will ruin the world.cant run there own countries

Guess Canada's just another formerly great country that's been ruined ?

Canada has been fine for my 50 years until a dictator was voted in who imposes cash grab taxes no.body wants and is working to steal legally owned firearms from innocent, law abiding citizens.\nFurthermore, ruining the country’s economic future and present due to being a total failure at everything except conning the gullible.....man...I could just keep going! Sad sigh. I’d like to join you in the US.

Hahahah you people ruined your own country

Islam is a dangerous religion. none of them care about you or your country. I'm telling you as a person who grew up in a muslim country . they are as dangurase as isis. trust me, Islam ruined my country (Persia) don't let it happen to your country, don't repeat the history.

We are not an empty country canada rn is having a huge overpopulation crisis we dont want this Trudeau wants this and I hope next election we vote conservative cause hes ruining us

Go to your slum country, without ruining Christian culture and freedom,

Don't believe on muslims. They will be secular when there no. is lessor. But when they get overpopulated you will see there actual colour. They have ruined every country they moved in. Islam is cult on the face of this world.

All islam wants is To Kill All Christians Or Hindu Children's ....watch out England How Islam Broke my India ! \nDont it Let Ruin Ur Country ...We are Indian Hindu and Sikhs if we Come To your Country we may Take your Jobs But we will Never Disrespect Ur Christ or Whatever are ur Beliefs But If They Come Maybe One day They will Kick you Out of England same as they did with Us in Kashmir !

India is facing this from 100s of decades. If they don't feel safe they should leave !!! And why Saudi Arabia don't allow other religions in their country !!!!!!! They come and ruin others religion !!

If you can't go by what country you live in then go back where you come from.I'm from Germany and that country is in a total mass the Muslims have ruined this country and we are following Germany what a shame.

the worse part about this is that they only get a slap on the wrist, a fine that is a fraction of all the money they made illegally and he gets to stay in this country! deport him!!! but have you had hit on a girl 10 years ago or God forbid you are caught under the power of the #metoo movement then it's jail for a few years, your reputation ruined and good luck getting a job! I really wish we put that kind of focus on bringing justice and have this person deported and stripped of his possessions but of course not, it's Hongcouver and he's bound to know someone in high power with JT in the Parliment

Close the gates to the Chinese. Way too many as is. All they do is steal and copy, they are like xerox bots. Send them back to mother china. The Brits and French who built this country need to take it back. Don't let these third worlders ruin what your ancestors built, or the idiotic lib-left, who are responsible for this mess, to guilt you into surrendering what's yours. You think China would welcome invaders the way we're welcoming them, with houses, healthcare, jobs and benefits?

I've reported the national debt fraud to police many times, they just laugh, so I tell them they are working with the ones ruining our country, they are engaged in treasonous activities and crimes against humanity.

What does it cost to imprison a 100,000 foreigners? A million? What does it cost the justice system to get an arrest, trial and conviction? What does it cost in damages and ruined lives with illegals crimes? In America I figure we pay about 50 billion a year for all the above... every year, year in, year out.What does it cost America with the illegals sending unreported earnings out of the country, what does it cost in terms of uncollected government revenues? What does it cost to provide free birth services to 10% of the total population- being illegals getting 'Welfare baby' services? What does it cost the education system?I figure another 50 billion a year, year in and year out...For those that say America WAS built on immigration, realize America did NOT build on immigration with all these benefits... hence Immigrants had to become full fledged participants and be absorbed into the common fabric of America.For those expecting a 'One World Order, realize the immigrants must first fix their own country first.. if there is to be a 'One World Order' fabric otherwise 'Our Fabric' becomes their 'Fabric' and not a Fabric of Democratic principles we have in our society.Only by observing a common pattern in other countries where immigrants get the same benefits in those other countries is there any 'One World order' capable of extending benefits to all the same way.For now, all we have is immigration collapsing the ability for this Nation to provide Social services to everyone. And then what?

Not only is he destroying our economic system, ballooning our taxes, and endangering our people, now he ruining our tourist industry. All the migrants Trudeau is importing will not be moving into the empty parts of the country, either. There’s no hotels there, and it really, really cold.

Just stay in your own country and get rid of the crooks, gangs, and politician ruining your country.. You're taking jobs and social services that belong to a country's own poor.

I used to live in Brampton and this is the city where I first landed. No hatred for the city but people have ruined it. I'm a brown guy myself so I can't be racist against my own people and tbh, some of the best people I know in Canada are Sikhs but even they accept the fact that there is a large number of bad apples in their community. Sikhs have played a major part in both positive and negative way, to make and break this city.\n\nInsurance scams in Brampton cost their citizens to pay one of the highest premiums in the country. Generally, drivers in Brampton have no fuckin' idea how to drive because the licences were literally bought. \n\nA large number of people of our brown community always hell bent on abusing the system, wherever they go. We bring the same back home mindset here in Canada rather follow the system. \n\nThe only thing mostly brown community is focused on is how to make money and that's all. Don't try to learn the language, don't like to mix with people, don't care about the laws or anything. They only like to have nice big houses, show off their leased fancy cars and that's all.\n\nI left this city for good and don't regret my decision at all when I see numerous videos about the bad situation in Brampton. I'd love to move back to Ontario but cannot live in this city anymore. One thing really pissed me off when I was there that most people expect every brown person to speak Punjabi and when I used to tell them that I don't speak or understand Punjabi, you could see the surprized looks on their face.

Why don't these people vote in a candidate like Trump in their own countries? So their own economies will do well and the police will fight crime. Instead of fleeing to the US and Canada and voting in politicians similar to the ones who ruined the countries they came from.

SMGH NO ONE WANTS ILLEGALS IN THEIR COUNTRY THEY BRING DOWN PROPERTY VALUE, THEY RUIN TRAFFIC THEY CAUSE WRECKS THEY RUIN FOOD IN RESTAURANTS AND FAST FOOD. THEY TRULY KNOW HOW TO TRASH DALLAS , TX GO BACK TO MEXICO AND HONDURAS

So this is how my country people ruining all other countries

Stop allowing these people in any country. They cant keep their own countiri\nes prosperous. They will ruin all of ours.

Our Country is ruined, I No longer pledge allegiance. I just have to live here. There is always an excuse. They are not asylum seekers for the most part. And Canadians are not generous enough to put our country at risk of the Sharia.

I can't believe ppl actually voted this moron in...nice job Canadians. I'm actually thinking about leaving this country. This guy is just as bad as his dad was. His dad ruined Canada before. And so is this tard

As a Canadian screw Trudeau . I'm ashamed to call him my prime minister. At least his dad gave us the bill of rights and freedoms which is a historic document... His son aka Justin is literally ruining Canada .\n\nSo far he's put us in a tonne of debt , has no economic knowledge/political experience, is a hypocrite, went back on his promise for electoral reform (as the old system made him win lol) , is an Islamic extremist apologist , literally gave millions of tax $ to a terrorist because he was detained in Guantanamo aka Omar Khadar -_- etc ... The list goes on.\n\nWasting my tax dollars on people who not only are breaking the law but it's a joke - They just literally walk on over. Many have no skills or anything to actually bring to Canada either. They're not asylum seekers. They're economic migrants who broke the law by coming to the states illiegaly. Now because you actually have a president with balls to kick them out to where they came from they're coming to Canada where they know our PM can't even admit there's such a thing as an extremist Muslim. \nHe keeps using the excuse that Canada was built on immigrants. Yes. True. Legal ones. Or legitimate refugees fleeing war or persecution. Not bloody Donald Trump and a pretty developed / stable country aka the US. Smh. \n\nThe only good thing he's done is legalize weed and even then he's managed to screw it up by making it a government monopoly vs a free market the many US states have where entrepreneurs can thrive.

This fuckin asshole has a mental problem.... ? \n\nLiberals are ruining my Country.\n\nThank god my province woke up and elected Ford(conservative)....tucker he’s a bafoon

This is why Canada is going broke. Truedope surely ruining a great country while ignoring the wounded vet's and falling economy. And this moron truedeu is surely incompetent.

What is wrong with Canadians voting all these foreigners into Parliament? They are ruining the country forever into new North Mexico and El Salvador.

they leave there failed countries and try to bring the same failed policies that ruined there country here

Dear Vice, \n\nYou're trying to spin this into some sort of politically correct bull shit sob story but I am not buying it, and glad others in the comments are not too. This guy is an absolute disgrace, and is nothing but a bottom feeder. \n\nHere are my reasons why:\n\n1. Lived in the US for many years, yet chooses not converse in English. \n\n2. Thinks on the lines that hard working class citizens & legal immigrants will pay for the welfare of him & his entire family. \n\n3. Does absolutely no research in immigration laws, despite spending that many years in the system, and decides to enter illegally hoping everything is kumbaya on the other side of the border. \n\n4. A dirt bag for no reason whatsoever. \n\nI myself am not a citizen of either these countries. I personally would love to live and work there, however in the future I will choose to apply and enter legally, and encourage everyone to do the same. These asshole illegal immigrants ruin it for everyone else, just look where the US immigration system is at. It's an absolute mess!

there is racism and prejudice everywhere. on every level no matter gender, race, religion, culture. etc. no matter where you go. but if these guys take a trip to any of those corrupted third world backwards countries they would see how good they really have it. us foolish americans canadians dont know how good we have it. we are living in the freest country nation and society ever seen in the history of the world. at least our country creates new laws every year to make our people feel safe. but other islamic countries continue following laws made in the 15th century. do you see and appreciate the difference.\n\nsure people will label you based off your skin tone and your demeanor. BUT WHY? because they have had bad history with those that look just like you. i have had REALLY REALLY bad experiences with asians in everything. so i naturally stay away from all asians and i do not trust them. HOWEVER, i feel when foreigners come to this country they ruin it for the rest of the citizens that are of similar foriegn race eventhough they were born there. WE NEED TO PUT OUR NATIONS CULTURES first. and thats what we have to teach everyone. we put our canada america pride priority and whatever culture we came from LAST. THATS WHY its best we learn to fix our people in a whole in our country before bringing in anymore foreigners who do not respect our nation. lets stop third world immigration and work on making our country great again. so we can stop all this crime in our neighborhoods. because it hinders our progress. once every race color ethnicity of people are acting right then we will have no prejudice based off color or even gender because everyone is giving everyone respect. but because CRIME IS HIGH in all foreign races, and we continue to disrespect eachother. nobody feels safe anymore. whether your light skinned white or black.

She doesn't feel safe?????? Really???? You're in the safest country in the world which is being ruined by the mass immigration. You're safer than you'll ever be compared to the countries where you come from. Dress how you wish, but remember you're in Canada - and we have a culture too so when you separate yourself , isolate yourself, and don't integrate into a Canadian culture of course you're not going to feel the same. Why do we even give these issues so much energy and power. Its not Harper that is telling women what to wear - its your Islam society and culture that tells you what to wear. Hence, why outsider women can't visit and wear bare skin in Islam countries without shame or even punishment.

Poor kids :( these people only want to escape the death and destruction we caused in their countries. Our disastrous neoliberal policies and years of intervention in their homelands have ruined Central America. The west is extremely hypocritical when they blame immigrants and fail to understand the context.

So I'm in a dilemma of whether I should move down to Florida and live with my American girlfriend, or stay up here and support her moving up here in Canada. My main issue is health care. I just hear many people have bad service and poor treatment with insurance down there, but it all depends what insurance your applying with. People are fairly nice, but there are also some douche bags as well so I'm not surprised. With my overall budget, I could likely stay down there for about a few months or so. Here in Canada, taxes are a little higher, but it's worth it (Some idiot said our taxes are lower), health care is paid for, winters are cold but anyone can survive through it. Some say Canada is a socialist (which is Not -_-). Liberal party is ruining Canada as it is in a way. But again, it's better Justin than Trump. (Betting for Scheer). Idk, politics is bad in both countries I say. Idk, I'm likely missing some things here. Should I move down with my girlfriend, or stay up and support her moving up here?

She is saying “as Muslim women, when you wear the Nikab and the Hizab, you are not available “ that only shows the mindset these women are suffering from. They need help. By and large, if you leave a developed country like Canada to the Muslims, it will take less than 30 years to ruin it.

Canada must stop entering Muslim in their country..I m sure they ruined Canada its sure n 100% true.

People just don't get it Muslims hate everyone who is not a Muslim there is no peace with these people, Canada wake up they will pass laws to stop u from saying anything against Islam ????? what ???? ya that's right they are trying to pass a law for this and as we sit on our hands it will get passed...Liberals and CBC are a bunch of Fakenews!!!!!!!! ruining our country Liberals do not care about the white people and our way of life they just want to stay in power.......Finally i'm not sure if anyone in Canada is watching the rest of the world but Immigration of Muslims just destroys countries turns them into civil wars......now the back lash of this post will be i'm racist but i'm white and proud of it i love Canada the way it is and whats wrong with this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Justin Trudeau should learn from other countries mistakes regarding bringing in so many immigrants. It seems they do not want to assimilate into our culture but rather change our countries basic culture to suit their own. To me that means trying to take over our land and impose the laws of their land on us. Many hate us, and i for one am very leery of the ones unvetted. \\i do not want sharia law/ Canada will soon become an Islam country if we are not careful. All of the ones allowed in should be under scrutiny before permission is given, This does not make me racist. Germany and so many other European countries have been ruined by allowing to many unvetted Muslims in... https://www.rt.com/news/375507-german-government-refugees-mistakes/
