I was in Turkey for 3 months and loved it! Istanbul was magical, and i loved how so many Muslims from across the Muslim world lived there. There were Libyan's, Syrian's, Bosnians, Afghans, Africans - very diverse! I stopped to pray in Ottoman era mosques for every salah and met wonderful Turkish brothers who invited me for soup, tea/coffee. Their hospitatlity is well known! The city never sleeps and every shop is open with families out and about, islamic shops selling Islamic clothing, halal food is nothing to think about again. The other good thing was that there was always something to do. Fajr at Aya Sofya, Juma at Sultan Ahmed mosque, a taxi to Eyub Sultan, then to a religious neighbourhood of Fatih, amazing architecture, great food, affordable and safe. The only negatives were traffic and pollution, but given Istanbul's population, that was understandable. It was also summer and peak season. Also, you can literally cross into Europe and then Asia by ferry. Its to die for. Other parts of Turkey are also great to visit. The blacksea cost is stunning as an example in point and more natural mountainous beauty over city living. Turkey is a great option if you haven't already thought of it and if youre a fan of Erdogan, its a good place to visit and invest in

At the end of the day people still drive big vehicles have 150$ phone plans tattooed up to the ears and walk around in designer clothing and Drake, Andrea bocceli can still do concerts and sell out! With extreme high ticket prices

This sheik knows where the money is coming from. He will sell out his own people, culture, faith, family to maintain the flow of money for his oil. Long live Israel ??????????????

We vacationed in Vancouver last year , it was crazy how block by block houses were being forced to sell. Condo buildings were going up, a cab driver pointed this out to me and made a joke that BC now stood for “ Bring Cash”.

Opec plus could end this in a day by saying that if there is no ceasefire, then they will not sell anymore oil to Israel or do business with them at all. \nStill no ceasefire? Then they cut production globally sending the price of oil and fossil fuels through the roof. In a week after the price of gas goes through the roof in the US, Biden will stop sending arms to Israel and he and the US government will force Israel into a ceasefire. \nThat is what Opec plus could do to create the 'conditions' for a ceasefire and it would work. \n \nNo more war.\n\nBut they are not doing that are they?\nYou have to wonder why. They did it for money during the war in Ukraine, but they will not do it now. \n\nIt is very telling, isn't it.\nJust a thought or 2

??Absolutely ! Spot on ?\nUS is complicit with Izrael in this genocide . If US says stop the killings will stop right then sbd there but then how will sell their weapons ? How will the keep unrest in sone part of the world or the other ? ?

Why don't the Saudi's refuse to sell oil to the Americans, as a form of support to the Palestinians. It's the countries with resources that need to stand up for the Palestinians

Guys thanks for sharing the information. Hope our desi brother a large number from our beloved Punjab notice it and stop selling their precious lands to pay for travelling to canada and that too illegally. They are hurting them their families and our beloved Bharat the country which is our motherland and most precious

Well, maybe because Canada exposed it's real face during Covid19? selling it's own civilians to the hand of the World Health Organization, aggressively stealing human rights like it's nothing? I'm from Israel, I closely watched the truck driver's protest, the way they were treated, like enemies of the state by Justin Trudeau just because they refused a jab is absolutely hideous. The truth has come out, Canada is not a democracy. The black stain on Canada is forever!

But, the Saudis were ready to sell the Palestinians out for scraps from the United States. What a bunch of cowards.

despite some arab leaders’ selling out to their western puppeteers I could stand with this one. At least he seems to have some kind of spine

But they have to live their land and their lives, because there are so many who want to profit from that and can sell resources to gain money! Is not fair for few to abuse and get richer, while so many, including children suffer? Excuse my sarcasm!

I love his response, the Arab countries ms should take the Palestinians and then Israel claim their land, this reporter forgot that the Saudi’s know how the western mind works? After all they have been selling oil to the western countries for years now.

Saudi Arabia minister of foreign affairs should say if those goal are not meant in 72 hours OPEC will stop selling oil until those been applied to and then will reopening sales of oil period!

Selling my paid off house in Montreal suburbs 800 000 $ im off to Turkiye to live like a Sultan. Freedom 52. Canada sux .

It's much better here in Australia. I live in a little country town 500km from Melbourne, great hospital, free medical care, bought 3 nice houses here from selling an apartment in Melbourne - and unlike Canada or the US, we dont need to pay any tips or any of those pesky extra taxes you always add onto everything !

They push for nothing.. they let them die and are only thinking about how much oil they can sell

They’ll get sharia law soon. Goodbye democracy, civil liberties and our way of life. Well done spineless politicians sucking up to Islam and the minorities so they can congratulate themselves for being so inclusive whilst selling out the British people, it’s sovereignty and its culture.

Why did arabs sell that land to zionists?

Israel is not stopping the humanitarian aid in fact there is capacity of over 300% that currently goes thru. The problem is that hamas is stealing this aid what supposedly should go to the civilians. Not only that hamas try to sell this aid back to their own people for horrendous prices!!!

This men are still in support of the Palestinians. If I were a Palestinians, I will sell my own land potion to Israeli government and have peace, then migrate to any Arab country because Israel are the real owner of the land and supported by strong countries.

Canada, the land itself and the wonderful wilderness is second to none.\nBut the culture and governance have robbed my country of all opportunities except selling houses and drilling oil.\nNo innovation, no competition, no growth.\nIts insane that a country born on third base can stagnate this badly.

Good answer but they’re also complicit in selling arms to Israel and actively working with them and the US so there’s that.

Soaring house prices don’t help homeowners. 1. The already high taxes. 2. Even if you sell your place, you still gotta live somewhere. The answer is much fewer people. Not lots more.

Canadians have voted for services they can’t afford, mis-management of government, not caring for their grandchildren or children’ future, leaving them with debts impossible to pay off. It’s amazing how Canada, but not just Canada, is intent on national suicide. Such a shame! Canada survives by selling raw materials to Asia. (China) Now that China’s manufacturing is all leaving for other countries, Canada’s income (GDP) will continue to shrink, until other countries develop enough to take over from China. However, even with that, most all countries in the world, except African ones and some middle eastern ones, have shrinking populations, leaving the world with less and less consumers. Not a recipe for a successful future.

Canada has the same problem as the United States: wrong kind of politicians elected. Like the U.S., most Canadians consider themselves compassionate liberals and thus feel obligated to vote for said, compassionate liberal politicians. The problem is, for Canada and the U.S., these compassionate liberal politicians don't know how to run the nation's economy except to run it further into the ground. And when the problems get really bad, the solution is always, raise taxes because liberal politicians are either Marxist Socialist and believe the citizenry are obligated to pay higher and higher taxes for more government intervention, meaning, interference, in most cases.\n Whenever Canada does get around to voting in a conservative prime minister and government, the Canadian mass media immediately goes on a years-long negative campaign of deliberately undermining the government in the eyes of the Canadian People, demeaning them as inept and uncompassionate and comparing them to fascists. Eventually the Canadian People get so distressed they have to vote back in the liberal party. And then the same happens again.\n I'm just glad our Canadian brothers are not blaming the U.S. government or the CIA, but instead are clear-headed and courageous enough to blame their own government and past legislations and laws that do the exact opposite of what is supposed to happen, level the playing field for all Canadians.\n I'm reading about the outrageous pricing of Canadian housing and am astonished. But one YouTuber explained this about his Canada. Everyone in Canada wants to squeeze into the few, concentrated urban areas that concentrate business, finance, manufacturing, job opportunities, et al. As it happens, these areas are too few and far between. So what ends up happening is geographical overpopulation, despite Canada having a total population of around 32 million souls. People in California can certainly understand this phenomenon. You can purchase a 3-bedroom house out in California City, which is near the Mojave Desert, for $176,000, but there's nothing out there to make it worthwhile living there. Conversely, a tiny, 3-bedroom home in Torrance, Los Angeles, was selling for $800,000 in 2018. \n As realtors put it this way all the time, location, location, location!\n I'm going to pass on commenting on Canada's National Health Care. I've read criticisms from native Canadians on the Internet. As Canadians, they're entitled to say whatever they want about their country. If I, a Yank, open my big mouth, I'm going to get trolled by a hundred angry Canadians defending their National Health Care as the world's greatest socialized medical care. Health Care is already expensive enough in the U.S. Most people get it through their employer, which pays a part of it. But employees' monthly deductions for health insurance have been growing steadily over the past 30 years to where it's now a huge chunk out of one's monthly paycheck.

Shameful on the Saudis for backstabbing the Ottoman and selling the holy lands to Britain and Israel. Shame Shame Shame. They have not helped their arab brothers, and have continued to ally with the US and Britain and Israel. Shame.

100%. Canada will keep losing its top talents and top-quality immigrants to the US in the forthcoming years. BECAUSE the Canadian system does not invest in innovation, research, or technology rather they would make money off of the scam real estate market by selling overinflated real estate keeping the supply limited, and accepting desperate refugees here and there in hundreds of thousands. There is almost a communist market in Canada, all supermarkets, mobile phone companies, and internet companies, airline companies are in the hands of a few privileged families. There is limited competition and often they decide the price of anything without any competition. Result: a flight within Canada is more expensive than a flight from Canada to Spain. Everything is 3 times more expensive and people suffer. They sell an empty jar of Nutella as the Canadian dream. In the end, Canada will end up with people who have no other choice but to live in Canada and have limited potential to propel the country's innovation which is sad. It's inevitable! and It's too late already!

Youtube content creators needs to stop taking sponsorships from BetterHelp, Not only does nobody believe these creators are actually using the service but BetterHelp is disguising itself as a health services company but it is actually a tech company that got in trouble for selling personal data...

Which market sells ghee in Canada except Indian stores ????

I live in Japan and don't regret selling my house last year in BC with the intention of not permanently living in Canada again. The healthcare system is much better here. Food is delicious and cheap...and no tipping. Houses are 1/4 of the price, with good houses for as little as....free...if you don't mind fixing them up a bit. It is safe and a short trip by public transportaion gets you either downtown or in the middle of nature. What happened to my country? Oh.....Canada.

Speaking of normalizing minimal means, the Auto industry is horrible they try to sell us these cars that are worth so much and have all these nonsensical technical jargon all they need to do is make cars from the 1990s with more fuel-efficient engines and your body styles for affordable prices.

I think the message is we need affordable housing not free housing for American. Are these ppl going to get jobs and pay taxes like Americans or sell illegal drugs, steal and live off of our tax dollars.

Yet they deal with the enemy behind the scenes in trade and all. And will soon do what the uae did. Sell their souls to the devil

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!

CANADIAN GOVERNMENT STARTED SELLING CANADA TO CHINA BILLIONAIRES DECADES AGO WORSEN NOW DESTROYED THE CANADIAN LIVES...FOREIGN FROM CHINA RICH! MOST CANADIANS POOR LIVING ON THE POVERTY LINE!!!

why do the Arabs continue to sell oil to the West who is funding & arming the genocide?

I am a Brazilian who lived in 2 different countries in Europe and of course in Brazil, and I share the same feeling as this guy once I lived in Toronto for 12 months and could not stay any longer. Canada self sells itself very well, but once you are inside it is not worthy. It only fits those that are very consimists. Just for those who think that happiness can be purchased.

They’re all full of talk but no one does a single move to prove their support remove the Israeli flag from your country before you sell us morals\nEnough BS

Prices went up after covid EVERYWHERE. It's a global issue. I understand the lack of affordability as a reason for leaving because I live in California and I can't afford a house. I'm retiring without one so I have nothing to sell to downsize. Since I refuse to live in areas of the US that I can afford due to those states authoritarian governments and support of authoritarian regime I'm planning on leaving ASAP. Things are changing all over the world, however, and my that's affecting my plans.

Canada doesn't have the jobs for all these immigrants. The liberal government is selling a scam and making everybody angry at the same time.

She should ask why Arab world is still selling oil in dollars?

New comers that couldn't do their old jobs at home is not a secret. It doesn't happen lately. An engineer could be seen selling at McDonald's. What's new about this ?

Let's not forget the Saudis were ready to sell out the Palestinians by normalizing relations with the zionist entity.

Saudis like to play on both sides. Everyone one knows how they were going to sell over an entire Palestinian population only to cut out a selfish deal with the Zionist. Moral of the story, never believe a Saudi.

Then why not stopping oil selling

Arab world must stop selling oil to the west NOW!

Sure but what are you doing actively besides dancing with Trump and shakeing the very bloody hand of the Israeil’in president! Why not boycott oil selling to EU for just a view days!!
