10%? Let's not kid ourselves, food has risen by A LOT more than 10% since 2022 (west coast)

*shrugs* Canadian here. No interest in leaving, especially to the US of all places.\n\nI mean think that through. My income tax is around 17% of my income. My capital gains on investments is around 15%. I get free health care (which while obviously not free - is paid out of my taxes, yet isn't rationed or in-network restrictions, doesn't have copays and cover 90% of my medical needs). I have a government that even at its worst, is orders of magnitude more rational and public serving than the US (and god help you if Trump gets back in). Not to mention a country that doesn't literally have a major gun violence/mass shooting even EVERY FRICKING WEEK, unlike the US.\n\nAnd yes, I live in Metro Van and I have an 850 sq ft two bedroom apt I'm renting for $1250/mo - so maybe the problem isn't simply that the housing market is too tight (which it is), but that you've picked a city in high demand that's boxed in on four sides - ocean to the west, mountains to the north, US border to the south and what little farmland the lower mainland can sustain to the east. You could, of course, move elsewhere in Canada like Edmonton or Calgary, but yeah...not whiny enough, I guess.\n\nSorry, you're entitled to you views of course, but I can't help thinking most of your problems are self-inflicted... so yeah, move to the States.\n\nI'm SURE it'll work out better for you....

Ya, you are right. As muslims, we are on the same path. Allah has commanded us to live in a community and place where we and our children can have an islamic atmosphere and can practice our religion easily. Muslims are a big target in these countries now a days especially after escalation of gaza genocide. West has decided to target and get rid of all muslims of the world and have been targeting muslims and muslim countries for dacades. Heinous crimes have been conducted in iraqi and guantamo bay jails, and during attacks in syria, iraq, lebanon, afghanistan, yamen, sudan, kashmir, palestine and so many countries in the world. But West doesn't accept or regret what they have been doing.

They charge visa fee, grant visa’s and then turn around to complain. When will this exploitation from the west end

Please tell all the Muslims: Don’t go to the West.

If the Arab world is to take ALL INNOCENTS PALESTINIANS , then Egypt gate will be PERMANENTLY SHUT and GAZA will be PERMANENTLY ILEGALLY ARPHETEID OCCUPIED by natanyahu.this is the trick by israel and west to pressure and blame arabs to allow israel to displace palestinian.

They don't want to be like the West.\nWhat a surprise ?

AND YOU NOT RACIST TO COME TO THE WEST TRYING TO MAKE IT YOUR PLACE?

THAT IS THE AGENDA OF ISRAEL AND THEIR SUPPORTERS TO PUSH THE PALESTINIANS INTO EGYPTIAN SINAI FROM GAZA AND PUSH THE ONES IN WEST BANK TO JORDAN SO THAT THEY CAN FREELY TAKE THEIR LAND

Exploiting developing country is always the key to success of westerns\nNice Strategy of using other country people to not develop their own country but west , by giving perks and advantage offered to them as name of opportunity , that also gained by looting other countries 200 yrs back \nWOW !! Just amazing

If other arabsdont want them then why should the west take any of them?

It's the demographic of people who live in the southern Ontario area. Those scumbag liberals decide the fate for the rest of the country. They turned the west into a wasteland.

Yes, I agree wholeheartedly with his answer because the Gaza Strip and the West Bank are rightfully the sole property of the Palestinians and no one else, Isreali or other Arabs etc. has no right to determine where Palestinians may live.\n\nHowever, even even if I am in favor of both self-determination and autonomy for Palestinians, it doesn't mean I am a not a supporter of Isreal's right to exist thus, defend itself.\n\nIsreal has every right to both exist and defend itself against Hamas, Hezbolah, Al-Qeda or any other Arab terrorists organization or Arab state as well as especially Iran, that may wish or has declared its intent to wipe Isreal from the face of the world.\n\nAs for Arab states like Saudi Arabia, the Gulf States or any Muslim dominated state in the Mideast or northern Africa taking in refugees is concerned.\n\nThe short answer is that none of these states will take in refugees by the fact that these states failed to take in refugees from recent war zones like Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria or Libya in any great and significant numbers.\n\nRecent conflicts in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan saw the West come to the aid of these refugees before any Muslim led country.\n\nIf a Muslim country like Turkey took in refugees, it had to be paid by the West to take in refugees from Syria, Afghanistanand Iraq...in the past Lebanon and Jordan likewise have only taken in limited amounts of Palestinians and these refugees are still stuck in refugee camps in Lebanon and Jordan eventhough it's been decades that they were forced to settle in these two countries.\n\nSo, don't worry asking if the Arab or Muslim led world takes in refugees because the short answer is they don't in significant numbers and if they do, they begrudgingly do so and in a marginalize fashion.

People don’t understand the tribalism in that part of the world. Arabs hate Arabs of other tribes. If Israel didn’t exist, and there were no investments or intrusions by others, there would be a massive Arab vs Arab war raging as I type….. \nIsrael and the west are simply common enemies of these tribes. When hate of another group is the only thing connecting another group… everyone loses.

Cool story, how much aid are the Saudis sending? Who is stopping it from getting to the Palestinian people?\nIsrael must be hugely powerful if they are preventing the whole of the middle east and the west from getting aid into Gaza whilst simultaneously preventing Palestinians from escaping, committing genocide AND fighting a war against Hamas.

Interesting video, lots of Indians or people of Indian orgin are also leaving Brampton. They also state it's too expensive. 30% as per news of late are moving back to country of orgin. On the idea of adopting culture, did eurpeans adopt culture of Natives, where are the Natives, to which land did they go to? The culture of those who created residential schools what culture of values is that culture? Was it not that Natives of this land forced off the land, forced into schools taken away from the parents? What happened to treaty rights? We were welcomed here. We did not invade. We did not force our culture on to others. True many immigrants have come is this the fault of those who choose to have pets and no babies? is it the fault of governments promoting smaller house holds in which no parents live with the childern to help raise grandchildren due to expences. It was the coroporations that made the split of family here. This is also causing Indians of older generations to leave the parents, to live a free lifestyle. who will rasie the children? and who will help the parents when they are too old? 100 years back Christians had the same culture of Indians. Parents, grandparents and babis lived in the same household helping one another. Less cars, less insurance, spliting the costs, no baby sitting fees, no old age homes. Know even in India adopting the west coroporate culture have old folks homes. The media and TV in bed with coroporations have made people selfish that they will not stay together. Indians are in the same postion as whites. The older gen is left to fend for them selves, in the coming gen who will baby sit the kids, they to will get pets, it will be too expensive for them to have kids.

This stuff is happening all-over the western world all the government's on the west have lost there minds and it has to stop now period

Out of the 39 Million Canadian population 1 million people are working and living in the USA in high paying jobs (Canada can't afford them)... More brain loss to the USA is expected in the near future.\n\nAgriculture in Canada is in the control of Sikhs... What's left, fossil Energy and fissile raw material... as the world slowly moves towards renewables, Canada will start losing whatever insignificant standing it has in the international arena. China and India have already shown Canada's real position... Europe, Japan and West Asia don't care about Canada.\n\nSo why anyone worthy would be going there???

He's not wrong is he? how far have we dropped in the west.. That a saudi diplomat can so easily correct our folly with facts.

Instead the west takes these zealots and they go about destroying the west. The west is a joke.

China is so greedy they want to take Northern India, senkaku islands of Japan and now the whole west Philippine sea.

A kefiyah in the West is just a hipster swastika

I hear the West is becoming a shit-show...

The west want the gas in palestine land, isn't that?

This is why we need conservatives to win in the West. If Biden gets four more years, we are doomed.

That’s the reason why the collective west will be banned from all countries standing with humanity ??‍♂️??‍♂️??‍♂️

Ya and it was all 10 million residents of Quebec that voted him in. And the Quebec Liberals that honed trudope into running. Gee I wonder why Quebec our biggest welfare province got the best deal on the carbon tax. If we Cut Quebec off of our welfare . Yes the west sends $7000 per person in federal wealth transfer to Quebec. Our country would be far better off. They treat the rest of Canada like shit anyways. Never been there never wanna go. I’ve been warned if your crossing Canada . Don’t stop in Quebec the people hate the English and your not welcome .

Indians from Punjab and Gujarat are swarming the west. They found a loophole via a student visa and stayed on. In Australia it took so long for the government to realise this and have placed restrictions on fraudsters from those states. Plus this new breed of Indians stay in their bubble and don't assimilate and what's with Indians talking on their mobiles loudly in their language 24/7 in public.

Wheres the Millwall and west ham fans.

And notice what he didn’t say: he didn’t mention Israel. The Saudis are far more interested in good relations with Israel to counter Iranian influence, to them and most of the Arab world the Palestinians are just a nuisance who keep doing stupid stuff at the worst possible moment. Just look at what came out of the last OIC summit. They, and most of the Arab world, will never allow a new quasi-IS state in Gaza or the West Bank. The Arab leaders are smarter than many give them credit for. They know Israel is here to stay.

dates Some dates of note: \n632 Mohammed dies, Muslim expansionism begins \n634-636 conquer Byzantine-Christian Syria \n635 conquer Byzantine-Christian Jerusalem \n641-642 conquer Christian Egypt \n647 conquer Christian Tunisia \n652 conquer Christian Sicily \n654 attack Christian Crete \n674 besiege Constantinople (in Anatolia - modern day Turkey) \n682 conquer Morocco \n7th century - East African slave trade begins (Muslims enslave and traffic Africans, finally ended by the British Empire in 1918 following the defeat of the Muslim Ottoman Empire which sided with Germany in world war 1 and declared jihad on the West) \n711 conquer Christian Spain (which they continued to colonise and occupy parts of until finally expelled in la Reconquista of 1492) \n720s/730s - attack the Pyrenees, including Christian Switzerland and Christian France (up to Tours) \n846 - attack Rome \n1095- First crusade to retake holy land \n9 11 \nThe popular understanding of The Crusades in the West is that they involved barbaric, violent Christians invading the peaceful and enlightened Islamic world. Films like Kingdom of Heaven and Mankind: The Story of Us reinforce this narrative. But the truth is the reality of the Crusades is much, much different. In fact, it's the polar opposite

but its ok for the west to take in ukrainians

I totally agree with him …don’t like it in the west…go home ….you won’t be able to protest then ……

This is happening all over the West. Why is the West so many visas to Indians? Even Westerners of Indian heritage are complaining of their communities being swamped by these people, it’s causing tension, people do not want to see their communities changed over night.

Muslim arab no happy in muslim country so thats why living im the west country

Gaza and the West Bank will form an Independent State of Palestine!

my dad bought his first home in west van back in 1971 for 140K, sold last week 7 Million.

This is exact how did the west indian fell when influx of white immigrant into their land and occupy their community. take the fair turn please.

You Frenchies let them in, now you gotta deal with them. This is why classical liberalism/Neoliberalsm is a cucked ideology and you Western shills proliferate it amongst the world until you start kicking and screaming because Anglo numbers start dwindling. Why? Progressive ideology spurned by industrialization (not Zionists overlords). \nIndia is already nuke capable. Imagine them in a century. The West is dying and it’s the West’s fault.

The Muslim keep talking about Islamophobia but i never hear them sympathize with the Christians that are been ethnically cleansed by Muslims especially in Africa and west Asia. The likes of Boko Haram, ISIS, Al chae da, Jihadis, etc.

Canada is everything wrong with the west

lol. Everyone knows what Palestinians do in Arab world. Except enlightened west

western wars caused immigration of people its fact\nIF WE LEAVE THEM ALONE THEY LEAVE US ALONE ITS THE WEST THAT STRUCK THE FIRST BLOWS

I understand that commie blocks are hated in the West. They are demonized beyond what they are. Well maintained commie blocks scale elastically with population growth. Set the wrong expectations and most people will suffer for no reason.

Good take more Islamists with you while you're at it. Decades of the West trying to coexist with Islamists has been a failure, at least we are in agreement there. ??

Remember, they hate the west, not just you personally.

Canada has fallen!\nHeck, the whole West had fallen…

When I was 14 I learnt English cos I wanted to move to Canada. Now not anymore. Canada and the west as a whole is in ruins thanks to mass immigration and other issues. Our world is so broken

Same story everywhere in the west….

Intelligent man, Intelligent people, the west are pushing this narratives, so that if its said in pretence, they will start evacuating the Palestinians and Isreal will fint it easy to take their land.
