give them free food free housing free cable and phone. the tax payer doesn't mind. keep working America and vote Biden for 2 more terms

Vote trump then you wouldn’t have to worry it’s funny all came at trump for putting them in the cages but didn’t know one say a word when Obama did it matter fact he built the cages during his term

Trump was right again. And since he said it the Democrats will sacrifice our countries stability knowingly to save face . Nice . Leaders that can’t say they were wrong . Think about that and extrapolate . Get these term limits and age limits fixed. Take away corporate lobbying . Transparency for DC or enjoy the demise of your kin .

fk.... I'd be ordering machine guns at those points to establish some order. it's akin to an invasion. \nYes a few may get injured but this has far worse long term consequences.\nit's as if the authorities want to cause Americans more grief with the extra pressures.

There’s a better way. 30% of those ppl maybe had a opportunity in the US and violated it’s terms and got went back or ran back smh I’m Mexican born in the US and this makes me mad. Idk how bad you have you ain’t the only in other countries . We need to help our issues in the US before we can help immigrants.

Thank you so much guys for the love on this video ?❤ I hope anyone trying to make a decision to move right now makes one that suits their long term goals.\n\nIn whichever country you find yourself, you are guaranteed a great life. Making use of the opportunity is the most important thing. ?❤

Lol... yea so the borders are secure and not wide open for a free for all. It's unrelated that since this admin started it's term , we recieved a surge of somewhere between 3 and 5 million+ illegal immigrants storming our borders... For those that claim it's just asylum seekers, this isn't what asylum immigration looks like ..and this is just the new norm.

We got to take care of our actual American citizens first. If they want open borders then let american take control of these country's. We could make South America the production capitol of the world. They get free access to usa and we get stuff made there for cheap instead of supporting fucking china. Could boost there economy and build there nations up so future generations don't have to come to America. But no they just want to come be a strain on our systems without any long term plan for the future. Wow. Smh the whole American continent could be basically self sufficient. Never gona happen though. To much division.

Democrats encourage this..Putting our brave men and women in danger. This is Obama's 3rd term.

Do u want to know how we’re killing our country. Let’s put it in easy terms say we’ve only got 4 muslims 2 men 2 women the each have 4 -6 kids (easy fir a muslim as they breed like rabbits)that’s say 12 kids in 13-16yrs time ten 12 kids each have 4-6 kids that’s another that’s 72 kids all in two generations but now put that into millions of muslims having 4-6 kids each put a ban on them having more then one child when they move here if they want more then deport them and put that to even muslims infact any migrant

As much as I HATE illegal immigration. Remember we are the reason the term banana republic exists, the reason Honduras is in the state it’s in, supported Pinochle, fucked up Panama, and created the Sandanista. \n\nSo if you don’t like this I assume you didn’t vote for one of the 2 parties that created this situation, right? After all personal accountability starts with your own actions including voting.

Biden had the cages built under Obamas term. Trump was blamed for them.

Why is our public broadcaster calling them ‘migrants’? They’re ILLEGAL Migrants - use the proper term if you want to be taken seriously as a broadcaster.

We have too many hurting and abandoned Canadians living on the streets they're exposed to soo much, we are not a healthy country in terms of this record breaking homelessness and therefore should not be taking in illegals before taking care of our own citizen's. This has been happening way too long.

Lmao, if Biden gets a second term, we will be seeing the exact opposite of this

This wouldn't have happened under Trump period as much as people don't like him, shit was getting done under his 4 year term, but the woke Democrats want a president that just throws everything that works for the better of the country out of the window because they want shit done their way which sucks.

Hi! Great video and generally balanced in terms of the ideas expressed. Having lived in Canada for a very long time, I have to say that it's a good place to be but the two glaring problems are: 1- the healthcare system is broken. It's very hard to see a doctor and even harder to see a specialist. We pay a lot of taxes and at the end of the day we don't get the services that we paid for. I'd rather pay out of pocket but get to see a doctor when I need one. 2- Canada is a Nordic country so you'd better like winter when living here. By contrast in the US you have a variety of climates so easier to find something that works for you. The cost of living is, I agree, very high in Canada, but it all depends. If you compare it to living in California or New York City, I'd say that our cost of living is cheaper. But in the US you do have the choice to live in a more affordable mid-size city, while in Canada options are much more limited (big cities only include Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver and Calgary).

Illegal economic migrants is the correct term to use.

Honestly Canada ?? is a much nicer country as terms of Canadian people being more kind and accepting

invasion is the proper term here.. invasion while 1 percent sits back and avoids the real problems.

Hey CNN \n It is not illegal to be a refugee.\n There is nothing illegal about crossing that border.\n The term you’re looking for is “undocumented”\n If you need someone to fact check your shitty journalism you should put out an add

Unauthorised immigration will create huge numbers emblem to the social fabric of Canada in long term

*Did your white ancestors arrive legally?*\n\n*Trick question, there was no such thing until recently when some white people got overzealous with the stolen land. And Mexicans (who are also North Americans) and South Americans have always traveled throughout these lands. White people have NOT.*\n\n*Not saying white people can’t stay per se, just don’t be heartless mindless hypocrites with the STOLEN land. ESPECIALLY if you STILL treat Native Americans and other Indigenous Peoples like ethnic Mexicans as invaders and so-called “illegal aliens” (as ridiculous and offencive as that term is in the first place) when they’ve always been here and your ancestors came either through invasion or being refugees themselves not that long ago!*\n\n*Remember whose land you are on.*

Lots of killed expats/migrants/international students to Canada, Australia and NZ leave in the long term because of housing, fake crime statistics, taxation, systemic/institutional discrimination and limited work opportunities. The US benefits from this because that’s where skilled Canadians, kiwis and Aussies go… nurses, technology specialists, structural engineers, biomedical technicians, researchers — all leave at some point barring a minority with family ties e.g., chronically sick parents. Interestingly enough, the US has country-specific skilled employment visas for Australia (E3) & Canada just for this purpose ? I’m an Indian-South African-Aussie citizen who earns excellent cash in Australia and just got PR (green card) in the US — happily moving to the States with my partner in a few weeks!

U.S is the largest economy in the world . California state alone economy is larger than the entire economy of Canada. I immigrant myself have lived in both countries, In term of job opportunities ,U.S way better . In term of safety and crimes Canada is much safer. Both countries in big cities have huge homeless population.

This is such a heartfelt and honest video. Good job man! But I would expect immigrants from the UK or Asia in Australia to strongly defend their choice ? Weather-wise, Australia beats Canada — maternity leave-wise, Canada beats Australia hands down. Australia is pretty isolated compared to Canada …mostly because Canada is next to the USA. Australia is overpriced in terms of groceries etc. and the extreme weather in Canada makes life expensive. Many Canadians move to the US for a reason. Australia is terrible with family reunions and visas for parents etc. There is a reason over 1 million Aussies prefer to live and work elsewhere — including myself — I was fortunate enough to get my PR in the US.

As Canadian living in MB…. That smart city planning does not exist for us. ON, BC, and QC tho definitely the better provinces in terms of planning/availability/transport

Theres a lot of problems about Canada. Most countries are like Canada in terms of income, standard of living and others. All countries have problems. Just have to find the best.

As a dual citizen, there are so many things that's incorrect about this video. First of all, to make it an apples to apples comparison, I see no attempt to adjust the comparison by population. There is no point comparing Montreal (where I have lived) vs. Columbus, Ohio. Montreal is roughly 1.7 million people or 4 million metro. The correct comparison would be something like Boston. Similarly, there is no point comparing Montreal vs. LA in terms of geographical spread when LA is more than three times the size. So of course your commute will be different.\n\nComparing Montreal to Boston for example, Boston is very very compact. Yes, Montreal does have better food options than Columbus or your random rural suburbs. It doesn't come even close to similarly sized American cities. It's the same reason for example that one doesn't compare San Francisco for example, against London, Ontario. It's a pointless comparison.\n\nAdditionally, the claim that the worst part of Canada is better than the best part of America is laugahble. There is no truly terrible neighborhoods in Canada compared to American ones (where you can tell if you're in a bad neighborhood), but Canadians can't even imagine the wealth and prestige of the best parts of America, let alone compare with it. The wealthiest don't live in downtown New York (where they maintain their work residence), they live in Montauk. They don't live in downtown Boston, they live in Newton or Weston. The most affluent parts of Canada like Bridle Path/Rosedale (Toronto), Westmount (Montreal) or North Vancouver would look like abject poverty by comparison.\n\nOh, let's not also forget other factors for being in the US. The median household income in Canada is $67,000 Canadian. The median for the US is $69,000 US. The typical American is far wealthier than the typical Canadian. Anybody who tried to buy any goods (or services) in Canada and compared their choices in the US, it's not remotely comparable. Of course, the usual, taxes.

Cant just focus on cities. We have cities, suburbs, states that are essentially still the wild west etc..this is comparing apples to oranges. America is far too diverse and different in terms of everything you mentioned and more. You guys have only been to the over populated overly well known cities. States arent the same as towns that arent the same as cities for everything said. America is so diverse.

Guyssss have you spent more than a day in Vancouver?? Yoooo, probably the most expensive city to live in North America, also very racially segregated in terms of where people live, downtown Eastside and now spilling into other areas insane high open drug scenes and crime.Decent transit though! Montreal must be something else...

Makes me wonder which state in the US is the best, in terms of lowest crime rate, race fueled crimes, decent cost of living etc?

Canada big ups. Definitely, when I have been to the states, the racial segregation was one of the biggest surprises. Being from Toronto, you'll legit have every culture within 1 floor of 1 apartment building. Then go to like Jersey, and not see a single black person in an entire neighborhood. I REALLY like the diversity of Canada, at least in the big cities. Happy to be raising our daughter here, we actually went out of our way to ensure the daycare we put her in was pretty diverse. \nNow, in our small towns, shit gets a little.... I don't wanna say RACIST per se, but definitely a lack of cultural diversity. Annnnd maybe a bit racist lol. \n\nBesides that, our Universal healthcare is definitely one of the reasons I am proud to be Canadian. It's not perfect, but Canadians don't even understand the idea of medical bankruptcy. Like, how could anyone be against the idea of having a system that gets rid of that? Because taxes go up? Like, we all get old and sick at some point. You DO get that money back with the healthcare you receive eventually, and in the long run, pay less per capita than places with private healthcare. It's like being against your pension. Makes no damn sense to me. \n\nLastly, I gotta throw a little shade on the overly patriotic nature of Americans. Like, the US makes great entertainment. They are a world leader in making entertaining shit. But besides that... y'all ain't so great. Your good, y'know, top tier in terms of countries. But not better in most ways than other first world countries. Worse in a few. Canada isn't perfect, but you don't see Canadians constantly claiming to be better than everyone else. It's such a weird flex, like, everyone who isn't from there knows it's not true. It's like showing up to a car meet in a Honda Civic, claiming to be faster than everyone else, laughing and driving off. It's just weird

We got Drake but y'all about to take Tory back ? Good luck ?\n\nBut real talk, I've visited Montreal before but haven't lived there. Could someone get away with not knowing French long term? ? I was humbled when I was greeted with French but had to ask if they spoke English! ?

I mean I can get that I guess and understand but Canada is not for me with all that stuff that's not here in the U.S.A. yet.\n\n\n\n\nIs all I'm sayin but the more I think about it long term I might change my mind.

I love that people ONLY think about Toronto when they think Canada. \nComing from BC on the West Coast, living in Vancouver, the worst parts are the homelessness, the drugs, and the alienation. As a white guy it's very hard to find a healthy community to be a part of, whereas the Asian communities (Chinese, Vietnamese, Indian, etc) are very tight knit. \nBC is also CRIMINAL for cost of living. Not just housing but groceries, utilities, etc. Its beautiful country, and a lot of the smaller towns and cities are nice in terms of the people, it's just kinda crazy. \nStill, I wouldnt want to live anywhere else for very long.

I agree with your takes if you're coming to the U.S to visit. To settle down and stay long term you have to find a nice suburb. You'll have everything you need. Safety (plus you can own a gun) Green fields and parks, mix of Big restaurant & mall family restaurants. Cost of living is more manageable, specially if you have a remote job like I do. Then again, I come from Mexico and have only seen Niagra falls from Canada soo.. ?

I live in what is generally considered the worst major city in Canada (Winnipeg) but from what I've experienced of big American cities it's honestly leagues ahead of a lot of them in terms of quality of life. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of places in the US that are much nicer than Winnipeg, but we wouldn't come anywhere near the list of worst cities if we were an American city.

Just because it's a religious item doesn't matter. In legal terms, a person seeing another person carrying a weapon can call the police if he finds it discomforting, and if the Sikh attacks with the knife, it is an assault

Very interesting video and kudos to you both. Unfortunately we have the same situation here in the UK in terms of high cost of living i.e high rent, high mortgage and very expensive train fares.

I’ve been a Recruiter for Tech for over 25 years. Apply board did not invent the term “Recruitment Partner”. Google it many Recruiting companies have incorporated under this “Term” for decades. This whole thing is disgusting! Extorting Youth from India. India has some really beautiful ways in their culture and this is really tainting a lot of good people and destroying families. Figures Trudeau would be “All about it”…. Sad man sad!

Hard to rank the provinces because they do each have their particular charms. New Brunswick is my No. 1, mostly for sentimental reasons, but it is a great place to visit because it is compact and has such a varied geography, whether it be Fundy, the Saint John river system, the Acadian coastline, or the Miramichi. Helps if you know people there, but people are generally welcoming and friendly. \n\nI currently live in Montreal and have had two extended periods living here. I don't want to knock it too much, but there are two seasons, winter and construction season. Some day, Montreal will have rebuilt itself, but it is a major pain in the arse getting around and drivers are oftentimes stressed to the hilt. The rest of Quebec is nice and all, but agreed, you have to speak the language and even then, don't expect miracles in terms of gaining acceptance by the locals. However, I do give full marks to a province that seems to finally have its act together and set to prosper in the green economy.

I totally agree with you. Lets also not forget the majority of the GDP from Australia is mainly contributed by only a few major cities (Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane), whereas in the USA the massive GDP are contributed by much more equal geographically distributed cities from the west coast to the east coast. If you are a young person, migrate to the canada/usa route is a much better choice than choosing isolated Australia in terms of experience and exposure to new ideas. Australian is friendly but not easy to become friends with. You only see them at work and talk a few things and then after work, probably not going to have much further connection.

In popular cities like Brisbane and Gold coast in Australia, we can swim and surf in gold sand beach for 9 months in a year. Well, what does Toronto offer in terms of life style?

I wonder what country are you guys originally from? Would you happen to have data as to where is the best province in Canada to live in terms of low cost of living? Thank you so much in advance. :)

Great video - it's true my family came here 20 years ago and I'm greateful but it certainly is expensive. \n\nThe type of employment you have makes a big difference - I'm a big fan of people applying for government to take advantage of the benefits - especially at retirement - and then having a side hustle. \n\nI'm looking to help people set themselves up for the long term and being a position to afford cost of living and comfortably raising a family in Canada. Which frankly can be hard but it is possible. \n\nGreat video

I want to hear what the Native people have to say. All of the tribes in Canada, what they think and feel about everything, and how specifically they would like to be supported because it seems that any efforts made (though small) have missed the mark, or misunderstood the needs, lifestyle and value of Native civilizations. \n\nIt is nice to hear Indigenous people named when speaking on these issues, however I very rarely hear from them, and if I do it is one person, or a non-Indigenous person who studies Native reconciliation, and often is not diverse in terms of age and, as I mentioned earlier, individual tribes.

I've spent 22-ish years hitchiking and hopping freight trains around Canada in the summer and I get the impression you are basing this solely off wikipedia entries and haven't actually been to most of these places. Winnipeg for starters is one of the most comfortable cities in the country to be in during the dead of summer in terms of it feeling nice but lot like a fuckin nuclear hellscape. Calling the humidity there a problem is a bit of a joke too, you should check out Vancouver/Toronto/Montreal/Halifax right around the end of July and see whats up hahaha.
