Totally surprised by his wonderful answer, too bad they don't do what they say in public

I am surprised he got her agenda right away, she want to remove Palestinians from their home land.

Wow, you are beautiful. I wasn't the least bit surprised to hear you are a model.

I'm amazed by how many immigrants are surprised at the cost of living in Canada. Don't they do research before moving here? Before i would move anywhere, I would research rent / food costs etc. The other stuff like making friends is harder to research...I am Canadian that has lived in a few other countries and I'm planning to leave at some point, mainly due to cost of living. I will take Greece, Italy, Spain, SE Asia or a few South American countries any day over Canada. Shame as Canada used to be such a good place to live.

I'm surprised that they were allowed to carry their mobiles inside! In India in all VFS centers you are obliged to leave all electronics outside...

I am here 10 years. One thing that was really shocking to me was how many people were sheeple right when the pandemic happened. LOVE to listen to what they are told to do! People refused to socialize and try to reach out. Young people. Well guess what? That was the beginning of bad news. I also have been surprised at the amount of people who assume all Americans are like Trump and have messed up attitudes towards Americans. I am looking forward to a better Canada. A place where maybe people can start coming up with friendlier ways of living life.

He is a snitch -- pushing aside the responsibility the Arabs shd shoulder.\n\nThey were the reason for the weight.\nRefused to accept the 2 state solution 5 times without consulting the Palestinian Arabs even when Isreal accepted them since 1949 (if not wrong where Isreal only agreed to possess 20% land then) which was refuted by the Arab league and chose to hv the UNRWA instead and left Palestine stateless. Go check it out.\n\nEach time the Arab league states decided for the Palestine people (Arabs, Jews, Christian and orthodox Christian) and not the Palestine people themselves.\n\nWhy not lift the weight by demanding Hamas and the other terror outfits to quit terrorising the Palestinian and Isreal, stop attacking, release the hostages and refrain from forcefully using the people as human shield. \n\nHamas and some Arab states are responsible for these conflict and how cunning of him to turn the tables on others. \n\nHe hd a smirk on his face suggesting he pussyfooted to prevaricate the question to his surprise.\n\nCheers ?

Surprise surprise its like that all over the world lol

I ain’t no surprise to see such a good diplomacy from Mr. Salman. And perhaps most (highly educated) Arab persons.\n\nBeen there for 4 years. The way they can spin back the narrative is no joke. And it’s been a long way back since the history of the prophet. It’s like almost in their DNA.\n\nEither way, specifically for Mr. Salman, I like him personally. Been seen him answering several complicated questions and he can address the solutions with no BS. ??

I’m surprised that you said Dubai. Dubai doesn’t even let you protest for Palestine and it’s full of LGBTQ agendas plus they are shaking hands with zionists and it’s materialistic. Not sure how this is your top choice unless you want to make money for being influencers then yeah, go ahead.

GDP per capita in Singapore is 82K. In Canada it's 54K. Well, the fact that salaries will be lower in Canada is not surprising. Even in US GDP per capita is less than in Singapore.

I am surprised there is hardly any accessibility to [prayer in Canada .. The UK is very tolerant , but cold sadly .. LOVE from the UK from my family to yours. God bless

I think you would be surprised at how many Canadian's agree with you ~ good luck in your future endeavors.

Sad to hear that but not surprised. Canada had too many over qualified immigrants and not enough good jobs.

That's a surprise!! But you're reasons are so valid and understandable. You're brave to do so, and I admire your courage.. I pray that Allah blesses you and keeps you happy wherever you live.. ❤️?

How did they get through Trump's wall? I worked in Juarez at a migrant shelter. It is not surprising that this point was vulnerable to mass entry.

Surprisingly I agree with you, especially with points 2&4 - I too am thinking about moving out of Canada because of all of this - best of luck!

I'll be interested in knowing where you decide to move to that doesn't have inflation. Good luck finding somewhere. I was also unpleasantly surprised with some of your other points, but nonetheless wish you all the best. Overall you seem like lovely people.

It's scary to me that you discuss a drag queen on the same level as a needle using addict living on a playground.\nHasn't the Canadian government been pretty transparent about First Nations genocide all along? I'm surprised by your surprise. \n\nI hope your family is safe and loved wherever you may be❤

Toronto votes Liberal so it drags itself along with the rest of Canada nto decline. Trouble is that the Toronto Liberals move to less Liberal areas and keep voting Liberal and bringing those areas into decline. \nYears ago i visited Toronto and was surprised to see an elderly man sleeping in a cardboard box in the rich financial district. Was surprised to see but I helped a blind man to a bus stop when the Toronto crowd ignored him.now you say it is worse.

in short, recent palestinians deaths is not caused by Saudi Arabia, it is caused by breaking of the status quo by the Hamas. Hamas knew full well that their surprise attack woul make Israelis respond in kind. Hamas also knew htat people of GAza would pay the price while they are safe in their tunnels

Iranian cleavage, Very rare and surprising

Refuge = Permanent residency!?\nRefugee = Immigrant!!? \n\nPakistan has forcefully driven 1M Afg refugees back to Afg.\n\nWhy muslim countries are averse to helping fellow muslims who are severely distressed? \n\nIs it OK for muslims to kill civilian muslims? Look at Yemen, Sudan, Afg refugees facing humanitarian crisis? \n\nIs it OK to send help to destressed states allowing the recipients to make their own decision to dig tunnels to launch surprise missile attacks?

A note for whomever captioned this…no reporter is schooled, the journalist asks a valid question, is polite and respectful and gets an answer with the why, how and what of his response. This is an excellent exchange between the media and a lawmaker, quite surprising from the Saudi’s.

I am surprised that there are Muslims in Spain, are they immigrants or are they the remnants of the Islamic empire?

It's tough after a pandemic and a fews wars happenings and still going on these days.\nIs it Just Canada that has this problems? \nIf a rich country like Canada has such a problem, i don't know how others Country stands.\nMy relatives in Cambodia told me chicken over there cost more than where i am now. This is before the pandemics ,What a surprise..

Israel has the right to safety and security in their own land, and Palestinians won’t let that be, so Palestinians seem surprised that when they refuse to let Israel be safe and secure in their own land, for some reason, Palestinians are no longer safe and secure in their own land. Gee, go figure?

So.... he answered no.... not surprisingly

I'm always surprised at the lack of criticism of Saudi for never taking in their fellow Muslims.

Thanks for the share. We're living in France from about 14 years. I can say that things is getting worse and worse. It seems we have all the problems you've mentioned, maybe the house/rent price is slightly better than canada. I don't know if you've been in Paris, it would be a surprise (bad side)

Yet he doesn't understand that Israeli's have those same rights. Hundreds of thousands of Israeli's cant even return to their homes and are misplaced because of Hamas. Hamas made a surprise sttack and committed the most barbaric and cruel acts that a human being can do towards another. Yet people like this guy make excuses for Hamas. Israel has a right and obligation to protect it's country.

Probably before getting Qatari money they used to do actual reporting!! Surprised ?

As a Canadian I can tell you, if you are an everyday Canadian the government doesn't care. If you are indigestion they will say they care but do nothing, the government would rather change a street sign in toronto for 13 million, then give the largest indigenous community in canada nothing for clean water. The city of Prince Rupert BC is a city of 13 thousand people, and it has high amounts of lead in its drinking water, it's also mostly indigenous surprise surprise.

Oh it’s their land is it? Says who, you the Muslim leadership. Or perhaps it’s the Jewish leaders who actually occupy and cultivate the land. If a group of people. Any group wants to band together. To create terror, fear, and violence. They shouldn’t be acting surprised and playing the victim. When they receive the same treatment.

Surprised.....not one bit. The intolerance of this Culture was not left hehind in their former Country\nIf not nip in the bud...they will previl. Many Immigrants both legals and illegals have obviously zero interest in Assimilation.

Need to keep skilled workers and send back those that don't contribute. I wouldn't be surprised if it is the other way around.

Worldwide\nRent is too high\nInflation \nLow paying jobs \nBillionaires way overpaid \nNo surprises

Another white woman thinking she owns the world, big surprise. I do not condone her behavior whatsoever, however I appreciate her not defecating on any individuals in this video, besides the man she is sitting with.

Well, you decided to return. Your decision. Nothing wrong or right about it. Whatever works for you. But one thing is certain. By deciding to return, you have taken your kids back to the land of extreme competition. You have robbed them of the opportunity to spend a comfortable joyful teen age. You have driven them back to extreme academic competition which will continue all their life. It is surprising that though you found a job and were able to manage without your husband, you decided to return back because you couldn't adjust with the food or with your Canadian colleagues. I would say that if you are moving to a new country, you should be more adaptable. And yes good IELTS score doesn't mean good English. We Indians can at best have business proficiency of the language. In order to gain cultural proficiency (lack of which was botgering you), it takes lot more time and effort. I would say you should have put more thought into your decision.

Why is anyone surprised?? It's going to happen. You are sleep walking into it.

I want a liberal voted to explain to me how they are not surprised, since we cannot absorb so many immigrants. This is all caused by the Trudeau ndp government

What does the person presenting the video and probably ninety percent of responding to it have in common and really do not want to tell you this. There political ideology lines up closer to the far right in the USA. So it’s no surprise they would be sad and angry living in Canada and am glad they live by their convictions and move out.

For years, I've been drawing comparisons between my life in Canada and that of my American friends. Having lived across three provinces—20 years in Ontario, another decade in Quebec (learning French along the way), and a decade in Vancouver—I adopted a modest lifestyle that saw my savings grow to £40k. However, unforeseen circumstances, like my father's passing, led to financial strain. Despite a good job with travel perks, I found myself yearning for a change. Learning about an Ancestry visa, thanks to a colleague, revealed my eligibility due to my grandparents' immigration from the UK to Canada post-war.\n\nAfter gathering paperwork, I took a leap: severance from my job, selling my condo, and relocating to London, England. Initially hesitant due to the GBP exchange rate, I was pleasantly surprised—my savings lasted three years in England. While my childhood dream was the USA, I found London surprisingly affordable. Though my income was a third of what I earned in Canada, in three years, I found a partner, bought a home within five years, and established a savings account for the first time.\n\nLife in London meant exploring the world, negligible worries about expenses, affordable living costs (from phone bills to dentistry), and accessible public transport. The quality of life, housing affordability, and healthcare in the UK surpassed my Canadian experiences. The lifestyle contrasts were stark—five weeks of paid leave versus minimal vacation time in Canada, affordable education, and fewer societal issues like homelessness or drug abuse.\n\nMy advice? Explore the Ancestry visa for a life-altering opportunity; it’s tied to grandparents' lineage and offers a path to citizenship. The UK's supply and demand dynamics, along with its lower taxes, provide a different economic landscape compared to Canada. And here, what you see on price tags is what you pay—no hidden fees. This shift has transformed my life, and the possibilities seem endless. Check out [the Ancestry visa](https://www.gov.uk/ancestry-visa) for more information!

A lot of people will be surprised when Muslims become the majority.

These problems have gotten a lot worse in the last 8 years. I think the main issue is immigration. We are bringing in more people than what we can deal with. I am not against immigration, but just like all the other things the current federal government has done, they are doing immigration wrong. They think immigration is good, so tthey open the hose fully to bring in as many as possible. This is a bad strategy. They should be bringing in a lot less immigrants and that would lessen the housing issues. I think that this is destabilizing our economy to the point where it could have a dire outlook on Canada. I wouldn't be surprised if some provinces leave confederation. What we need is a balanced approach to all things governmental. Not a LEFT or RIGHT solution, a BALANCED CENTRIC solution. Time to vote differntly.

i moved from canada when i was 10 and a half, and i'm kind of missing when the country was a good place. i'm watching it collapse from south florida now and it's honestly depressing but not even surprising anymore

Excellent answer ( surprisingly)

This guy is the most serious Youtuber I've ever met. I'm even surprised why I'm just seeing him. What a reality real man. Good work bro. Keep it up.

I wouldn't be surprised if that question was a plant. That's the new media push now that the humanitarian crisis is unbearable. Let's get our corporate media lackeys to start pushing the narrative Arab and Muslim countries should take them in. They are already pushing Congress to use our foreign aid to help ethnically cleanse Gaza.
