UK is suffering from this right now, being colonized, discriminated and having their human rights supressed. It's insane EU is not doing anything or any other country is mentioning it.

I live in Serbia and know expats from the USA, Canada, UK and Australia \nAll the places are the same but Canada and England seem to be even worse. \nCome to Belgrade Serbia ?? there's a great expat community. Safe place to live and nice people

The West overall is going through same:\n - Very expensive housing in major cities.\n - Expensive groceries.\n - Declining population.\n - Shortage of workforce.\n - Faltering healthcare, long wait times.\n\nThis is pretty much the story from Canada, US, UK or anywhere in Europe especially in Germany, Netherlands. All is not gloom and doom though, certain trends might slow down and some might reverse because things can't stay the same forever and something has to give.

Why do Romanians get boats to the UK illegally but still get put in English prisons

Where's everyone going? Need some ideas of what's out there following what's happening in the UK ??.

Will your top UK police chief hunt me down if I write the wrong comment? Your a disgrace to the ones who fought in WW1 & 2.

Must of been educated in uk or USA

If you don’t like the place move back to a country that supports your views. UK is a wash with this crap.

These people are not thankful to the country, which helped them with a great standard of living.. Clearly, they can't be integrated into British culture. They should go to the countries with Sharia law if they don't like the law in the UK. It shows there is a reason for being Islamophobic.

Canada & the UK both seem to have doomed themselves by allowing massive immigration without sufficient new housing.

I'm from Texas. As a young fool I married a Canadian woman in 79. I'm a military man, army strong. So, many deployments all over the world. Oh, wife was also military, Canadian military. Our time together was limited. She left the military in 1990, got sick with cancer in 93, died in 93. I moved to Canada then, to be with the kids. Kids grew up, and I moved away. I recently returned to Canada after roughly 30 years away. I'm also leaving. I can't stand this place. And I've learned that the insanity in Canada is worldwide. I don't recognize the UK, Italy, Poland, Germany. Everything has changed. Right now I'm in Texas panhandle, on the ranch my father and his father ran. Thousands of acres, horses and cattle and dogs. I almost never see the neighbors. I love it.

Somehow Poland accepted Ukrainian refugees with open arms. And why yes, some commit crimes and behave in unbecoming ways but vast majority learned to speak polish,work polish jobs and uphold cultural and social norms. Having lived in migrant-rich places in UK and Scandinavia, this is simply not the case with migrants from Islamic countries. Their culture, heavily influenced by religion, doesn't have the same values, promotes seclusion from unbelievers and using unbeliever's resources at will because they see non-muslims as beneath them.There are Muslim women in Sweden who are there for 20+ years and speak NONE of the language. The epidemic of sexual abuse , property crime and gang violence, the statistics about learning the language, culture, statistics about employment, even personal interviews are good enough proof that majority of these migrants aren't willing to uphold our rules, our culture and are NOT going to be suitable citizens of Europe. Why should we be paying for people who gleefully admit to not wanting to work and feeling entitled to social benefits? Only France and UK were colonial empires, the rest of Europe had NOTHING to do with the state of Middle East.\nWe sympathise with people wanting to escape from religious fundamentalism, from fear of retribution for their identity and there are separate programmes for them. However we have every right not to want Islam and it's rules and it's fanatics anywhere close - religion is a remnant of the middle age and religious fundamentalism, be it Christian of Muslim is nothing more than an excuse to be hateful and bigoted. Europe has worked hard to free itself from that kind of mentality, to have majority of people who genuinely believe in things like gender equality, LGBTQ+ rights, disabled rights, right to healthcare, equality under law and so on - vast majority of which are not compatible with what vast majority of practicing Muslims believe. They don't like us, they don't like the way we behave and dress, they don't want to live like us and follow the same rules- why are they here if not for the resources? If they were there for human rights issues, they wouldn't be bringing the opressive faith that is the source of the human rights violations in their homeland.

Canada is falling hard nation of the west, are you planning to move back to either Russia or Ukraine? Or China or the UK?

Best of luck wherever you choose to go. Cost of living is a huge issue in Europe too - rents, food, property prices and so many other costs have spiralled out of control. The UK is particularly tough right now and most people experience a rude awakening when they come here - particularly London. Plus we have riots and real racial tensions now. I would not recommend anyone come to the UK unless they are wealthy.

Newf here who worked and lived around the world. Came home 5 years ago. And while we have problems still the best place to be. I have lived in Scandinavia, UK, France and Bermuda.

Come to the UK , I started my business in the UK . I'll give you useful tips.

Uk ?? also gone to shit ?

This man is so clever i applaud you sir you see the real problem im white English we need you as prime minister in the uk the one we have is a total nonce

All the best with everything. It’s very sad that your “home” cannot be your home at this point in time, I know how it feels. It’s so good how realistic you are about your ongoing visa application. I am a UK citizen moving to Spain, hopefully, but the process has taken way longer than I could have ever imagined! Good luck and I look forward to your future videos ?

Canada is enormous in comparison to the UK.\nHow do you think we feel?

The trouble is... where in the world do you go to escape the madness? I came to Canada in 2000 from my birth country the UK to escape the big state, globalist EU... Canada was great & they sold a proud national identity which is important to me... not any more!

It's not just Canada that has fallen, the WEFs tentacles stretch far and deep. The UK, is broken, my home of 52 years is no longer home. My wife and I have decided to leave, there is no way on God's green earth we would send our daughter to school in the $hithole that is called England. We are researching like mad, currently top of our list is Bulgaria, Albania, Mexico. It's a huge scary decision, but we can't live like this in this broken land, it is heart breaking to see the country you loved torn apart slowly and painfully piece by piece. We'll see you in Bulgaria ;-)

Don't come UK, it awful now here imo

Left Trinidad migrated to the UK then I migrated to USA...never been happier. UK was too bloody expensive to live even tho I am now a UK/US citizen...before the Ukraine War I was planning to see what Ukraine has to offer or Romania

Been following your channel since the 'Dating Beyond Borders' Vid...8 years ago ... The story you tell is exactly the same for many of us here in the UK now. The country I grew up in has gone to complete ratshit in the past 20 years. I had the opportunity to become a Canadian citizen 10 years ago through marriage, but never went through with it. In hindsight I'm so glad I didn't move to Ontario now thanks to the way Canada is governed. \nI put money on you moving to Thailand ? as its quite easy for 'Digital Nomads'...... \nMe, I think I'll stay in the UK and go down with the ship. ?

I'm a dual UK/Canadian citizen and passport holder and have always planned to move to Canada. It seems to be on the same level as the UK now, though, so there's really not much point. I've left and gone to Cyprus.

Canada doesn't seem to want immigration from the West, it is really hard to get a work visa if yor from UK for example

hope its not the uk you'd be better off in North Korea ?

The same crap is happening all over Europe and the UK all caused by mass immigration. China and Russia are looking more civilised.

We moved to Canada from the UK 20 years ago because we saw what was coming. Unfortunately the situation in The UK is coming to Canada too. We too may have to consider moving again especially if Trudeau gets back in. That will be the deciding factor. Yes Canada is an incredible place to live but it’s rapidly changing and not for the better. It’s not the Country we moved to 20 years ago.

Good luck Alina, wishing you all the best for your new adventures. I see many similarities between the points you highlight and life in the UK right now. I think if I were able, i'd be looking to do a similar thing to you.

It's sad to see you being pushed out of Canada. Unfortunately this is happening to a lot of people but what we're witnessing, especially over this last 10 odd years is the symptom of the underlying problem we have. It's happening in Europe, the UK and the US as well. We are losing our young people which IS the future of this country but unfortunately when they see no future here it's normal to start looking elsewhere. Wherever you have decided to move to I hope it works out beautifully for you. While you are away, maybe, just maybe we can make Canada an attractive place to lure you home again. Either way I'll follow your travels as I'll never get to see the places you travel to.

This is globalism WEF UK UN get rid of sovereignty usher in one world order.

Is this new to the Guardian ? If it is this is how the uk has been since 2004! Yet you call people racist or just gaslight the populace

One only has to look at Western Europe to see the effects of unchecked immigration, with the unrest in the UK being a prime example. \nYou simply can't keep inviting those without sufficient resources, while you have present citizens living on your streets because of a lack of housing\nIt's also nothing to be ashamed of for putting putting fellow citizens first, ahead of migrants, who may or may not share your countries values, not to mention culture.

Could be worse it could be the uk ??

We use to live in Berli, Germany . My wife is a doctor. but the whole process for doctors to work in city like berlin is so complex and crazy. We later decided to move to UK

Damn...I've been considering a move to Canada from London UK (part of the reason why I found your channel). I've been hearing so many people are leaving because it's not the same as it used to be. It's sad to hear because Canada felt like one of the really good places left to start a life in.

Canada has failed it's citizens. Like the UK and other countries, local citizens are being replaced and getting better treatment than their own tax paying people.

Many countries are going into a woke self destructive death spiral.The country I live in is just the same.Anyone,if you want to see the future just look at the UK,grim...

Look at uk

Beautiful story and very sad, the same is happening here in the UK, the western world isn't great anymore but is the grass any greener? Curious to follow your journey!

The UK is just as bad

Canada has Trudeau and now the UK has Starmer. Liberal elites who plan to destroy the West.

Thanks so much for sharing this Alina! I can relate to what you're going through - I was born in the UK, moved to the US at 11 and then moved back to the UK at 24. I decided to leave the US because I began to realise that it's just not an ideal place to work and raise a family. The state I lived in (South Carolina) has a better quality of life than, say, California, New York, Oregon, Washington or New Jersey, but overall the US just doesn't do an adequate job of caring for its citizens, and the US government (especially those left of centre) has its priorities in the wrong place. The UK has its own problems no doubt, but overall the UK does a much better job of caring for its citizens than the US does. \n\nIt'll be more difficult for you than it was for me because you'll be going to an entirely new country where you have no family and no social network, but you're an intelligent and daring woman, you seem to be quite comfortable around new people, and you'll settle into wherever you end up very quickly. I wish you all the best and look forward to seeing how everything plays out!

Hi Alina, well done on your decision. This is not an easy thing to do. As well as Canada, i have lived in the uk and Greece. I don't want to make things harder for you but i want to warn you that the grass is never greener on the other side. I am very disappointed with Canada to be honest. My wife and i are moving from Alberta to New Brunswick next week in search of a quieter, calmer, cheaper life. Let's see what happens. I completely agree with all of your points. I could easily get political but i won't. Suffice to say, keep doing what you love. Screw the system that is forced on us. We work for no return. Work doesn't pay anymore. Focus on what fills you up no matter where!

I think the UK is the same. I am 54 and have never claimed anything from social services either. An 11 year old girl got stabbed by a random man the other day. What is that about? ?

Freedom od speech kaha gayi uk??? ind ko lecture dete ho tum??

This is how the indigenous people of the UK feel... I wouldn't move there.

Ooh, how the plot thickens. First, the UK ??now Canada ??. Prepare for the worst. The governments have lost their minds, and we are suffering because of their curruption. I pray you learn from us and dont just riot but get to the source of the issue (The elites)
