Are you moving to the Middle East

Come to East Africa. Lots of business opportunities and religious friendly.

Most intelligent and highly educated FM in the Middle East. Well said Sir .( Brother in Islam)

In answer to topics raised. Real estate in Australia is expensive because the nation is highly successful and ordinary citizens are wealthy, and this includes real estate, plus with 3 billion middle class Asian's right above Australia the Asian economy dwarfs the US economy to insignificance. Job opportunities are dictated by the fields the economy needs - oil is insignificant in Australia compared to other industries. Geographic Isolation - Thank god the rest of the world is far away, as an Australian I wish it was further away. Air fares prior to pandemic were reasonable USA to Australia around $800 return - but this guy lives in Perth so to go 4-5,000km to the east coast will be expensive - on the east coast a one way ticket to another city can be had for around $50 to $80 - Again for Australians proximity to the US market is not significant we are focused on the Asian region. Natural beauty anywhere is amazing but I prefer a warm climate over a frozen one - The Canadian population is all centered around the US/Canadian border region the rest of Canada like central Australia is vastly empty. In conclusion I find many immigrants want to move from Australia to Canada is proximity to the USA but for Australians the US market or lifestyle is not attractive or important.

I hope you go to the middle east. You complain alot, and you seem pompous and entitled. You both look very soft. Doubt you would last a year in the middle east. You'd be begging to come back to Canada/USA. I think you want the amenities of western society, but also want to complain about western society.\n\n But please, go to the middle east. Stop complaining, and go.

I honestly thought this was a satire/comedy vlog ???. As if they wont find extreme inflation, misogyny, intolerance and unbearably hot or humid weather in virtually every muslim majority country ???. \nCanada has turned into an authoritarian, woke, progressive dictatorship, but it's light years ahead if any muslim country... Without oil the middle east would still be a goat herding backwater. Muslim african countries are also, fascist , economic deserts. Only the asian muslim countries seem to be thriving capitalist venues, and thats probably because of the chinese immigrant entrepreneurs who run everything there. Islam is a backward ideology designed to guarantee economic failure unless your country is lucky enough to have oil or other valuable minerals.

Wonderful. It would be great if all Muslims leave the West and move to the Middle East. I think the Middle East is truly the place for Muslims.

If you want to live in an Islamic state you move to a Muslim country. Canada is a secular democracy that guarantees your religious freedom. No Muslim country does that unless you are a Muslim. Wouldn’t it be much better if you considered yourselves human beings before all else? It is your humanity that gives the true power of redemption and being decent, moral individuals. No religion on earth does that. Not yours or any other. Belief is not as important as knowledge and humanity. However, you must do what you think is right for you. I think it would be good for you to move to the Middle East and experience what life is like in a theocracy.

See ya. I bet you're not going to live in the middle east?

As a Vancouverite, I find it weird that some Torontonians claim Toronto to be Hollywood North. Maybe New York North. Vancouver is actually north of Hollywood. Toronto is a lot more east of Hollywood, than north. Toronto has a lot more in common with New York than California. Vancouver at least has similarities. West Coast, for starters.

It is better for you people to leave for the Middle East Country as you people are deem trouble makers.

Read the book by James Barr called A Line in the Sand. It effectively explains how the Middle East was divided up by the British and the French during the time when they were at the peak of their powers.

Canada is Monolpy Ville, there is Zero choice and zero competition and they keep it that way to control it. From food to the internet to TV you name it, there is NO Choice, Provinces differ hugely, the East is much worse off than the West when it comes to choice.

I think you are making the best decision. If you don't like the cold, I would strongly recommend the middle east it should be plenty warm. Bon Voyage!

maybe consider a middle east country ,just makes sense if you embrace the culture

go to middle east.

I lived in Dubai for 9 years. I think you would like it there, although the cost of living was also high. You may also wish to check out Fujairah. It is located on the east coast of the UAE, on the Gulf of Oman,, about 90 kilometers from Dubai. Cost of living is cheaper there. Muscat, Oman is also worth checking out. Oman has no oil money, so compared to the UAE it is a much lower standard of living, but I would guess cost of living is much cheaper than in the UAE. I have spent some time in Muscat and the people are super friendly.

His most probably very expensive education pays off. But thinking with the same logic, all the other war and/or dictatorship refugees (from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan,...) would probably also prefer living in their own countries without the fear of terror, torture and death. Does that give us European & Westerners the mandate to get rid of those evil regimes? This is not a rhetorical questions - I am afraid, there is no answer without blood on our all hands. Last but not least - isn't Israel fighting for a better life of Palestinians/Arabs in this region, when they want to destroy Hamas & Hezbollah, which have clearly the most responsibility for the current situation? If I would be an Arab living in the Middle East hoping for human rights and some prosperity, I would certainly choose to be an Israeli citizen!

Singapore is a much more congested place. Real estate prices are on the higher end.\nCanada is a very cold place but in certain states, Canada gives free land to settle immigrants. Plus, as you stay in close proximity of the US with similar timezones. So you can find jobs in American companies. Singapore is from a different timezone and there is very little overlap between California PST and Singapore SGT. \nAs the global warming takes effect, Singapore will sink, while Canada becomes warmer, more natural resources are unlocked in Canada. Not to mention, Singapore is sorrounded by Islamic nations, and there is high probability of terrorism happening in near future as radicalization increases in that region. War is already happening in Burma between Junta and ARSA. And when civil war happens, so happens the in-flux of illegal arms and ammunition. Canada is far far away from these warzones.\nMost people should prefer Canada over Singapore, unless you have any specific ties to South East Asia, like you love the Asian food or you need to stay in close proximity of your family and friends.

You've got the most Muslim friendly , anti-Canadian prime Minister ever . Can you take all your people back to a better place , in the mid east please .

I would hope you could find happiness in Canada. One of my concerns about living in a theocratic country would always be, is this choice really your own? Can you ever be certain, if faced with violations of your rights, that the choice is really yours? And, if not, can you consider yourselves as choosing Islam, rather than being forced into it, even if in absence of theocratic rule, you would have chosen it anyways? Maybe I’m overthinking it. I have the tendency to do that. I think if I were Muslim, I might choose Tunisia. I’ve known people from Tunisia and it sounds like they’re pretty open-minded, but still obviously predominantly Muslim. I’ve been to Dubai, and while I see many people recommending it, I honestly thought it was the worst combination of East and West. All the commercialization of the West, but none of the democracy. Plus, if you are not native Emiratis, you will always be second class. I’m from the US in what I think is the mini-Canada (ok, the Twin Cities) and we have a big Muslim community, but I’m very concerned Trump will win again in 2024, and I don’t know what will come of it. My daughter is part Afghani, but raised Catholic because her father’s side is irreligious. But I still worry for her, looking like she does and carrying that last name. People are so awful.

why didn't they condemn what the palestinians did to the israelis? The middle east has a lot of islamic countries - they should consider that

I just happen to come across your channel.. Being non muslim, I strongly feel you guys and all other muslims should confine to middle east. That is best for us and you. No malice here but this is the fact. The fact is we are v different people. You people do not belong here. And there was no need to don that cap. All the best!

I have to ask are you giving up your Canadian citizenship? And I have to tell you I bet you are going to keep it. And although I agree with some things eg: the extreme stance and slide into extreme liberalism, your move is one extreme to the other, and despite the cancel culture here it still stands for real freedom when compared to the middle east. So please do us a favor and if war breaks out where you are going to, please do not ask the Canadian people and government (like so many islamic homesick have in the past) to rescue you at the monetary expense and potential risk to our Canadian men and womens lives- that would be so insulting not to mention hypocritical and Canadians take note of such things and they don't forget. Having said that have a good trip or I guess I should say permanent move.

Guess EU should have said the same about the immigration from the middle east ?

You'll come back to Canada or the USA after a while, I'll bet my money on it. I am a person that was born and raised for half my life in the middle east and moved to America. Believe me, you should be proud and thankful you live here in the west.

Invite your camaradas from USA to do same think too.\nMiddle East country are really happy to get back.

You should try the Middle East, heard it's nice this time of the year.. Edit: The feelings mutual in the UK too, don't even think about it!

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 . :)

I had major problems finding a job, even as a waiter, when I moved from Germany in 1990. I was so depressed. When I saw the poverty on the east-side of Vancouver I was shocked. Now 30 yrs later I see videos of the east-side and I cannot believe how worse it got. I am glad to live in Germany and Japan!!!!! Thank god!!! I have the money now to rent a motorhome in Canada and travel around for 4 weeks there, because I have money and time to do that. No way to do that as a regular canadian.

Good decision. Return to the middle east

Why not go live in the middle east? its warm there. They got everything u want as a muslim.

Please tell all the the other muslims to move to the middle east. Thanks.

I moved my family to Türkiye, sooooo goood decision. Leave that sinking genocidal west, world is changing, east is rising fast.

Then go live in the middle east if you love your faith soo much. What a bunch of whinners.

Fantastic, make sure to return to the middle east, better for everyone.

Come to California the weather is pretty close to Middle East !!

All Muslims just get out of Christian majority countries and live happily in Middle East Arab countries.

Basically you're arguing against multiculturalism, just without realising it or at least not expressing it that way.\n\nAnd although im a traditional liberal left winger, I've come to agree actually, I would hate for Canada, which is a largely secular country built upon judeo Christian beliefs end up something else entirely just to appease one particular religious group.\n\nI lived in the middle east for almost 6 years and it was a fascinating experience as well as rewarding from a career and financial perspective.\n\nOf course I had to comply with local cultural norms, which I absolutely did as I'm a respectful person but had I not done so I would have been shown the door / the inside of a prison cell. If I started complaining that Islam was homophobic or arguing about the hijab that would not have gone well for me.\n\nI think in the West we need to start being much more explicit about our values - such as freedom of speech - and not lose them down to a woke fear of offending minority groups.

i live out east (nova scotia) we got police taking down people's tents in the winter because there's no more room in homeless shelters

how about you moving to the middle east?

People are leaving Canada because of too many Punjabi East Indian are here

Was that wellesey east or west? That's a crazy deal even in 2016

Welcome to Middle East, I wish you all best and hope I can do any support

Hope all muslin follow through and move to Middle East instead of creating frictions in Europe and South and North America. Only Muslims I feel are friends of humanity are the Sufism that focus on the universal love of God and not in dogma and differences or hate.

Hope you get your home in an Islamic country in the middle east. I really do not like the mixing of different cultures and more when Islamic people are so fundamentalist in their belief and lack tolerance to other people freedom. Hope all Islamic people live Happy in the Middle East instead of Europe or the Americas.

You seem like a very pleasant couple who may be making the right decision to move to a country where you feel more comfortable. The Middle East is an obvious choice and I hope you are very happy wherever you settle. Canada will be the poorer without you. Your use of (is it Arabic?) other language phrases leaves one wondering what you are saying... You speak of hate crimes against Muslims, which is obviously despicable, yet there seem to be many such crimes perpetrated by people of your Faith against others who are not believers in Islam - the massacre of Christians in Nigeria is one example. I am sure you find such atrocities abhorrent and it would have been reassuring to hear you mention such instances. Regards from Blighty :).

Please, Please, Please, do not come to New Zealand....Middle East would be more conducive to your mindset!

Imagine going to Asia and trying to find an American hotspot to live. Go to the Middle East. Ooooh wait, that will be too harsh.

That reporter question is just too “stupid” who hires these people who are not politically correct - “Arab world” do you know how offensive that is the Middle East is intertwined with many countries most of which don’t speak Arabic to make such assertion that the “Arab world” needs to take refugees is ? asinine
