Great idea, see ya

Canada cannot afford and cannot deal with the over 1.2 million people the government wants to bring in each year as immigrants, students and refugees. I don't know where they get the idea that we can accommodate such huge numbers. We cannot!

Israeli politicians have been proposing the idea of migration as a solution for Palestinians, when you hear a journalist bring this topic up, you know you’re speaking to the snake itself.

yeah i think is a great idea, just go and be happy

I really hope more Pro-Palestine people leave the Western world. It's a wonderful idea and I hope more follow your lead. Thank you!

Prior to Canada (Toronto) where I moved last year, I lived my life pretty evenly split between USA (many big cities), China and Serbia. Canada is by far the worst place of any of these and I'll gladly move back to either of them, or to a new place. I have no idea who likes it in Canada and what exactly, but I can't find ONE thing better here than what I had before. And worst of all, the people. Omg, they're horrid! ?

Masha alah that's good idea I agree ifan me I planing❤❤❤

A fantastic idea. By the way, Allah does n’t like lipstick and mascara. So before you return: whipe it off.\nBon voyage !

Please spread this idea to other muslims living in western societies. ? best of luck

Excellent Idea,..., I hear Afghanistan has better weather, cheaper food, a better Islamic environment, and a lower cost of living. Please spread the word ...

Fabulous idea to leave!\nYou have no gratitude for all the benefits Canada has bestowed upon you.

Very good idea, it's a win win situation. You'd do far better in a society that expresses your religion openly. Trying to Islamify Western civilizations isn't going to work.

Extra 2 reasons that I know you can't talk about:\n1- Their blind support to Israel, their gen0cide, and occupation since 1948. This is not even a muslim/arab matter. It's becoming a humanitarian and moral crisis.\n2- Their strong indoctrination of the LGBTQ matter in schools. While it's their country and their law, if they claim freedom and equality, they should NOT force any idea from any group on another. \nIt's basically becoming the U.S 2.0

Hope more people with Muslim faith try to find home in Middle East . Saudi Arabia , Qatar need to start giving citizenship to Muslim people . Please leave faster to those countries . Don’t make Canada as Malaysia . Btw , Muslims countries are not tolerant anyway to other ideas. Please happily leave . All due respect . :)

That's a good idea! Please leave Canada quietly, do not post on Facebook or YouTube we are not interested in your plight!

I have no idea where these people live in Canada. Having said that, some of the comments are so cruel. These people feel unsafe and want to move to a Muslim Majority country. They do not want to live in Canada which is a country where LGBTQ rights are equal to religious rights. So fine, let them go. No need to be mean to them.

Well I hope you aren't considering the U.S.A. when it comes to Hate crimes. I had no idea Canada's inflation was worse than the U.S. Plenty hatred in the U.S. and I don't think there is a Islamic environment. I'm almost sure it isn't possible. Many countries have excessive Drug problems. Another big one in the U.S., including homelessness.

Wonderful idea please go to a Islamic country. And do it fast … Gaza ?? \nGood riddance??

I think this is a wonderful idea. \nI truly feel most Muslims would be happier living in Muslim countries.\nAnd thank U for not changing our ways of life in Canada's.

Come to Pakistan ?? it’s the most beautiful and most peaceful and most Islamic and most economical country in the world and the beautiful thing is that it has all the 4 seasons,You are most welcome ? to come to Pakistan and practice Islam freely and enjoy the lovely beautiful Islamic country.Exactly truth and perfectly agree with you guys awesome video love ❤️ your views and ideas very nice ?.Islam is the best religion and we should all follow it it’s perfect.We support your beautiful video.?❤?❤?❤.love to see you guys in Pakistan ?? Alhamdullilah.

I moved to Toronto in 2021 in search of a better life but only found poverty, crime and hopelessness. Just like hundreds of thousand of immigrants, I was lured into the idea of a first world country, and spent my life savings to move there. As a highly skilled worker, I am barely able to make ends meet working a job I’d be making at least 3 times more in my home country (Brazil). I am moving to the US now as cost of living is far lower and average pay is much higher.

I think this is a wonderful idea. I truly feel most Muslims would be happier living in Muslim countries. Muslims who come to Western countries, and want to try to change them, are fighting a loosing battle and it just makes it so unpleasant for everyone. The two cultures do not mix at all, so unless you can, or want, to assimilate into the society….. it is always better to move to the place that fees like home, and has the values you want to pass on to your children. I wish more Muslims in the Western nations would take your lead. Best of luck to you on your journey.

Canada is Canada, and it's a good democratic country. So, if you are not happy in Canada, it's a good idea , that you go somewhere else and hopefully you will be happy

No hate involved, but you seem surprised that there is no 'islamic environment' in a Western country.\nJust read that again. Maybe that's kinda.. normal? \nIf you want to be surrounded, I assume day by day, by an islamic environment, I think it's a very good idea to move to a place where that already exists. Because your want (or need) to be surrounded by a certain religion, is your want. Not the want of people and culture of a Western country.\n\nA few minutes further your say it yourself: You live your way of live and I live mine. \nThough this not mean 'I can do whatever I want in this place and culture'. \nCulture are places where certain believesystems, values and way of live are intertwined with eachother so people can actually live together. You can't expect a certain culture to just change it's core values to accept your core values so you can go on and live an islamic live in a place where certain values are at odds with those values. \n\nYou might think, 'well is that argument again - does a christian or a buddhist have enough space to do their thing in Islamic countries?' I would lik you to really ask yourself that question and try to answer it from a neutral standpoint.\n\nI sincerely hope this comment can be read without the standard 'oh just another rightwing islamic hater' response.\nPeace to you all.

I give up the idea to move to Canada from Nepal??if so

Assalamualikum.i live in USA for my kids future where i can go. Give me a good idea.

Salam, good idea my Brother and Sister and I agree with you

Good idea guys! Islamic must to libe in their environment.

I appreciate the way you present the reality. One way to cope with salaries and taxes is to open you own enterprise. This is the canadian way of growing fron a wealth point of view. As a person leaving from a salary, it is still possible to grow depending on your skills. But beggining your own business to exploit your skills will make you 'fly' to the next level, which is the actual way of growing. It took me a lot of years to realice this. Just think about it, provinces allow medecins to incorporate what means that they will pay less taxes and become richer sooner. This is just my thought, other people may think in a different way, I just try to give positive ideas.\n\nSecondly, Canada is still a country to live in a bit better than other countries considering many things happening around the world. Crime and economics is worst everywhere also. But, it all depends on what criteria counts for you. About society, it's not easy to make real friends except other inmigrants that need it too. Climate is not attractive specially for older people. Etc.\n\nHope you find my comments interesting and that you find your place soon.

As a Canadian, born and raised, I am much more proud to be a Canadian than if I were to be a U.S. or U.K. citizen, given the way they are regarded in most of the word. I have travelled Europe extensively, Central America, as well as parts of SE Asia. \n\nCanada is indeed expensive and has become moreso because we too easily accept the rising prices, just so we can feel good being a Canadian. Tipping culture is ridiculous, even for bad service, many feel the need to tip 15% because of fear of being regarded as a cheapskate or avoiding offending the service provider. Companies should be paying their staff a better wage where 20%+ tips are not expected for every restaurant, cafe or delivery service. We're helping corporations make more profit by subsidizing their staffing expense. This isn't the case in most of the world. \n\nMy eyes were opened when I saw how you can live an equally good life at a third or less of the cost and I have grown open to the idea of living elsewhere once I have enough money to retire early (I'm talking around 55) and enjoy life without feeling cash-strapped. World class private medical care can be found for prices that are unbelievable and without the multiple appointments and wait times.\n\nI will always be a Canadian first, but there is room for a second citizenship or a backup plan should living in Canada become an impossible place to live or retire, unless you begin with a financial advantage. By no means am I poor, either. I got lucky with both real estate and stocks. Yet, I feel like I am working to just get by, while being taxed well beyond what I am getting in return.

Great video. I'm from Victoria but have been living in Asia for 25 years. I have no idea how regular people get by in Victoria/Vancouver etc. I'm shocked how far Canada has fallen. It was probably a long slow slide but post pandemic Canada seems like a disaster. Singapore is so good I'm shocked you would stay in Vancouver or anywhere in Canada unless you are tied down somehow. I left when I was 30 as it just seemed so stagnant especially on the work/financial front and it just keeps getting worse and worse.

I hope it worked out for you man… as a Canadian, I can say that as much as Canadians love to pretend like we’re super open and welcoming, that’s largely not the case. I’ve witnessed some really disgusting treatment of immigrants first hand, and I have a lot of friends/ coworkers who are immigrants from Latin America and the Middle East, and I’ve heard a lot from them about the micro aggressions that they get from Canadians everyday, the dirty looks they get when speaking their native languages in public, and the immense pressure to assimilate. What you were saying about feeling like you’re always reminded that you’re an outsider in Australia, I also hear that a lot from immigrants here in Canada… I hope that Canada can be a better place for you, and you can feel more at home here, but the u fortunate truth is that the idea that Canadians just welcome immigrants with open arms and that everyone is welcome here is largely a myth… a lot of Canadians unfortunately are just xenophobic, racist, nationalistic dickheads and they’re not shy about it

Question American always go on about constitution they have and freedom they enjoy \nWhy have they not picked one South American country and implement that idea in that country \nI am sure you won’t have immigration to USA than \nThey have invaded Iraq and Afghanistan saying that they need American democracy why not in your own back yard?

Yoy forgot to mention disastrous school education and indoctrination of children since pre-school with ideas and topics which are completely inappropriate for their age. Top that up with institutionalized 4nti-wh1te r4c1sm everywhere. And yes the healthcare is sketchy with 3 month wait for an MRI scan (a basic procedure my mother gets the same week in a small town in war-time Ukraine). Don't even get me started on seeing a specialist doctor.

Excellent answer to bad idea

Good idea to have this 'exploratory' world tour first, before fully committing to leave this (and you'll soon find out) not-perfect-but truly amazing country... Good luck and safe travels!

The Palestinians are a made up idea. They’re Arab emigrants that moved around a border-less area and ended up there.

Ending the blockade would ENSURE weapons getting thru which will certainly kick off another war which brings us back to Oct 6. ending the blockade is a terrible idea

Sorry - I came here for a video and you immediately hit me with a sponser spot.\nI don't have any idea WHO you are or what you're about to present - but you're pitching me before I see any of that. So - - bye.

No idea why people move there in the first place absolute dump. Freezing weather, homeless everywhere, drug use rampant. Don't believe the governments spin.

The current government policies are not working. They need new leaders with new ideas.

May Allah protect you and reward you for your Hijrah. I would suggest Turkey, Malaysia or Mauritania. The last one is not easy. Please keep posting so we can be inspired and get ideas from you. Hijrah will become FARDH is couple of years... to save our imaan..

Inflation, wages, public services and taxes are the reasons for me to seriously consider moving. I have been entertaining the idea as well. I have the feeling, I will take this step soon.

I had the same idea of leaving because I found my self not represented by my PM (both of them). But at the same time, by doing so it’s just like giving them the right to do what ever they want.

That awkward moment when you realise that educational needs over religious hating . As if get the recorded transcript .\n\nThese are only symbolic and sealed . The police officer had an idea.. or are American so far gone.\n\n\nI hope you don't mind me saying that . Good lad so carm.

You can get much better education in India without any tution fee and storm the world with skills and intellegence- we have high quality institutions like IITS(technologu), IIMS(management), IISC, IISERs(Scientific Research), AIIMS(medical sciences) you name. But you gotta deserve it. Btw, chaiwala (teaseller) in India would make more money than those fake useless canadian degrees holders. India will have a booming middle class and even simple small scale buisness ideas will make you richer than a fake degree from Canada.

The reporter. Why are we sean this right now??.. it was a bad idea collapsing the Venezuela economy. Poor people are all over the place in the America's.

The irony of CNN asking “What’s causing this?!” is next level. I’m sure you guys have absolutely no idea, right?

No country is perfect and Canada is not either, but when compared, it's doing pretty well. If everybody would change country because they disagree with the government on some points, everybody would leave their country. Wherever you live, you have to embrace the way of life of this country. If I lived in Morocco, I wouldn't heve the idea to criticize the call for prayer 5 times a day. The same way you can not expect to have it here because this country is still mainly catholic and protestant. I wish you find you perfect place in the world.

Great idea, I think many more muslims should think that way... Some ideologies just dont mix well. Good luck.
