Canada is stupidly cold ? and boring! Canada will make you depressed... After getting the permanent residence and so? Canada is over hyped nothing special about Canada...After 5years you will get depressed and start considering a relocation to America....I relocated back to Nigeria, now I am looking all fresh n healthy

The sista is speaking nothing but facts! I made the mistake of buying a house 1hr east of Toronto. Let's just say the WS movement is strong! I will be moving closer to Toronto in 6 months. \n\nFor all the the POC who are suffering racism in Canada, all we can do is get our education, buy real estate, start businesses, get good paying careers. Also, suing is an option. All I hope, is for my child things are a little better.

Canada is a false economy most of the money you see there wasn’t made there it was made elsewhere.\nMost of the new luxury condos being sold to offshore people trying to get heir money out of the country they live in like the Chinese Hong Kong Iranians etc.\nYou may see nice luxury cars on the road in Toronto like Bentley and Range Rovers but 9 times out of 10 they aren’t driven by old stock white Canadians they are driven by foreigners.\nYou may see Canadians that have a nice car and home but they don’t own it the banks own it they just make payments they own nothing .\nSo on the one hand Canada is flooding itself with foreign money making home prices unaffordable and inflation to sky rocket and on the other hand flooding the country with migrants from the third world that drive down the wages for ordinary middle class Canadians and cause the crime rate to sky rocket.\nLast year Canada let in 1 million new bodies half of them settling in Toronto.\n500,000 people is the population of Winnipeg yet in no way did the size of Toronto add a area the size of Winnipeg with new infrastructure hospitals and schools in 12 months .\nThen Canadians wonder why they can’t afford a home .\nOn one hand the government says we must bring in so many people because there isn’t enough workers yet got caught in their lie by bribing a European car company with 13 billion to create 3,000 jobs .\nSo the government is so desperate to create jobs they will pay 4.5 million to create one new job and other the other hand say there are too many jobs and not enough workers ?\nCanada is going into the toilet only a matter of time before there are race wars crime is unreal and Canadians just sit back and watch and do nothing.

On the American continent.....YES CANADA IS PART OF THE AMERICAN CONTINENT;!!!!!!!!!!!! NOTHING MORE NEEDS TO BE SAID.....

As a black man in Canada, I would never trade places with American blacks.\nCanada has nothing on America when it comes to discrimination against black people.\nPhillip you need to talk with some black Canadians to get the real picture.

Canada is a nothing burger.

Canadian goverment is the most stupid government world has ever vistnesed and even the people who are born here are falling in their trap. They just legalize the drugs and weed use and youth is falling for that. They don’t have enough young population and they try to compensate them through immigration. This government thinks that immigration is the solution to fullfill the labour shortage but in reality they are just creating labour for US. They don’t have their own companies where these workers work. “Canada is nothing just a warehouse to store goods for USA”

This hits close to home. I'm just about finished my engineering degree in Canada, where I was born and raised and my family has lived for 400 years. Outside of Alberta and Sask, nothing is affordable. And Sask is to barren to live in. I will almost certainly look South for work as this country continues to make itself completely unaffordable. As much as I hate to see it, I don't think i see Canada surviving in its current configuration for any longer than half a century.

Canada is doomed with Trudeau at the helm. He’s nothing hit a globalist ?

Canada nothing but one state of America. America handle all foreign policy of Canada

It was all planned by The UN and The WEF. NOTHING organic about it. I heard about a UN leaked report planning on 100 million migrants into the US. All part if a one govt Canada, US, Mexico unified North American zone.

There is nothing wrong with Canada's economy. The problem is Trudeau and other politicians who are the lap dogs of Klaus Schwab who spearheads the WEF. \n\nThere is nothing wrong with the world economy other than the corrupt politicians and organizations like the WHO, U.N., our monetary system and people like Bill Gates and George Sorros who have an agenda to destroy, conquer and steal everything we have.

As a Canadian, I have to say this is a good summary of the major economic issues Canada faces right now. Our current government's polices have done nothing but make the problems worse and people are getting angry.

Stupid Politicians. They should implement dual interest rates: pump mortgage interest rates to at least 7%, and have corporate interest rates set to 2-3%. And, set property tax to at least 50% for those whose accumulated real estate is valued over 1M~1.5M. I don't expect the Canadian government would implement such a policy any time soon, the only way out for Canadians is to migrate to the U.S.; Canada soon will become a hallowed country (similar to Hong Kong) - has nothing but real estate - look at the # of jobs related to real estates - totally insane - not mentioning most of these workers only accept cash to avoid taxes. If you are young and not stupid, you should move to the U.S. - period.

What's happened to canada is what is happening to all countries with woke leadership. We have made wedge issues a priority despite the fact they don't tangibly matter. Resources go into absolute nothing of value. We declared a climate emergency despite being less than 1% of global emissions. This has caused us to literally turn down lucrative LNG contracts that would have reduced the emissions of coal burning nations by 50%. It has made us insane. We sold all our gold and are printing money while expecting the entire middle class to bear the burden of this money printing. Billions have to Ukraine and nobody even knows why.

Least corrupt? Clearly this channel knows nothing, the prime minister here has more scandals than a porn star. I encourage anyone to look it up before the bill that was just passed in Canada, C-11, which allows the government to regulate what we content we consume, therefore you may not be permitted soon to find any negative content from Trudeau.

In 2009 I questioned if I could ever own a home but I was still working hard at my career and had some hope if I met the right women to marry. Then along came Justin Trudeau. Within 2 years of his goverment that dream faded fast. Everything I saved and my individual salary still wasn't enough. Property taxes and carbon taxes make it absolutely impossible here in southern Ontario even far a small home not without trying. I always get out bid on the 316 homes I tried to purchase. I can't pay 30%-70% above market value on a single income. Turning in my pensions isn't even an option. I'm not gambling away my retirement with current crrupt Liberal goverment that continues to raise taxes. To give some an idea just how single parents are crushed on taxes. I pay 53% of my income on taxes and get almost nothing back when filing my taxes cause I work hard and excel in my career. I get punished for being a hard work and risking my life to do so. Living in Canada has gotten gradually worse and worse the last 8 years. The socialist way of life isn't good. Now the writing is on the wall that it's becoming a communist country. I'm now searching for employment opportunities south of the border to give my child the best chance to making her dreams a reality. Canada isn't giving me any other options. If everything works out in the US I will surrender my Canadian citizenship at the earliest availability. It breaks my heart but I just can't allow them to enslave me and my child as she becomes an adult. Slavery is the only way I can describe the last 8 years. Also to top it all off 6 if the last 8 year's basic goverment services have been extremely unstable making doing business with Canada very frustrating. Getting a passport during this time has been delay after delay. Finding a family doctor that is stable almost impossible. \n\nCanada's economy status looks good from a far but its really far from good. Our goverment is literally paying 10s of billions in tax dollars to draw auto makers here and to even keep them here. Just further proof the economic future is very unstable. Probably even more so then the housing market. \n\nOur PM isn't even hiding his goverments level of corruption anymore. He actually brags about it at home and on the world stage. \n\n\nI worry about my future more then planing for it. Hopelessness has definitely set in. Now I'm in damage control by no fault of my own to make sure no possible debt are passed on to my daughter in the next 25 years when I'm gone. Even that is looking to be unachievable in my particular situation. It's my worst nightmare to leave my kid with any owing debts.

Canada sweeps under the rug, the way it treats fathers. Their own statistics prove that Canadian fathers have no rights. Families Responsibilities Office is nothing more than a collection agency to force fathers in financial slavery. Beware if you have children in Canada.

Let's talk about homelessness and house price in Canada. We see tent cities emerging in Vancouver and Toronto, millennials still living with their parents, the us wins more points in regards of housing price, but noth receive zero points in regards of tackling homelessness

while I agree with a lot of this video theres one crucial aspect this video neglects and same with the commenters here.. POPULATION. \n\nCompared to countries like denmark, sweden, japan, france, uk, etc. we have a much bigger country to maintain landmass wise. Infrastructure. USA is similar but they have 10x the population as us. Our population in canada is pathetic. Problem is everyone stays in ontario or BC which is stupid, im in sask I want population. Another thing about infrastructure is our climate. We have such drastic events in our climate across our huge country that takes a toll. Climate problems with our low population is not a good thing. I mean most people outside canada and even within Canada dont believe me but Saskatchewan goes from like -45 to +45C with windchill/humidex. Our forests are on fire often, that is not normal. That costs so much money to fix as well. In summer sometimes, Nunavut or NWT will be warmer then here, we talk about it here when it happens. Think about that. Weather is HUGE in saskatchewan. We talk about weather daily. I never realized until internationals pointed that out that we are obsessed with weather in sask lol. \n\n Our housing market is a joke and I agree we need to invest more in buisnesses but at the same time we need affordable housing, we are in a weird spot. As far as working etc goes people commenting here lol the golden years of the 80s are gone old timers, my parents realize this that you guys were spoiled in one of the greatest time periods in human history - post WWII boom and the effects. I could go on and on how the 70s-90s were one of the best time periods in modern history for various reasons but I wont. There are problems internationally, we live in a globalist world. We still have it good. Go travel and make international friends. This is nothing that we are dealing with at the moment. All I will say though is leave the huge metropolitans like Toronto and Vancouver. Everyone wants to go there because they think 'theres more opportunity' ugh. Theres opportunity across canada but if everyone things like that there will be problems. The idea of Ontario or BC is just a big nope for me (although I go to BC every couple years, love it there I would not want to live there).

Housing speculation is one of the greatest misallocations of capital ever in Canada. People are being rewarded as their home prices increase while literally contributing nothing to the economy. What product was made? What innovation or increase in quality of life was there? Landlords and employers are exploiting immigrants for rent and cheap labor. The government is happy to go along with record immigration as long as tax revenue is increasing.

As a Canadian I’m thankful to have grown up in such a great place. But it still bothers me to how little our growth has been. Canada has every tool required to be a fully self sustained global powerhouse. Yet nothing has been done to achieve this goal

We have the natural resources to create energy. Yet Trudeau put a stop to anything that could earn Canada money. With the regulations in place we could produce energy a lot more greener than other countries. Wouldn’t it be better if we have our own oil that is produce cleanly than to rely on other country that don’t care about environmental issues? It’s so simple yet the people have been brainwashed by this government. I live in Quebec and we have so much potential energy wise and we do nothing. Frustrating.

What a mediocre effort, you said nothing that hasn't been said by Zeihan and other's, not to mention, you provided no suggestions for solutions, just an opportunity for the resident idiots to cry Trudeau, when in fact the last decade has been one of the most tumultuous Canada has seen for years.

People do realize equality means slavery/ misery right, \nEverybody in canada is equally unhappy, equally pissed, and equally unable to do anything except for smoke weed and do nothing all day

Canada is a super expensive country, I've been here for 30 years and still renting houses, unable to save for a downpayment to buy my own house, paying rent forever with my husband and not being able to afford to have kids either. This country is depressing, you go to college and then work and have nothing. Canada is not a happy country, people are broke, paying too many taxes and not getting the proper services, there is a shortage of family doctors in Canada. Also paying too much for rent and gas. The socialist government makes things harder year by year, they don't develop the economy to keep up with the times, the liberal government has a lot to do with the crappy economy here. They create policies to make everything extremely hard for Canadians to succeed. If you are thinking of coming to Canada, think twice, it's a trap, it will take you years to be able to afford anything, you will struggle most of your life.

They can Have them. This has nothing to do with being a refugee they've gone through multiple countries to get to Canada in the United States.

Here’s an idea if you have nothing to offer Canada or the USA screw off. I see people coming here doing better than some people I know and they get so many handouts it makes me furious.

I'm a Canadian citizen I came legally under Federal Skilled worker pathway. I had cancer and recently lost my eyesight due to slip and fall. I sponsored my nephew 2021 as I am alone in Canada. But as a taxpayer, it hurts ?why does it take too long for immigration to consider its own citizens. My nephew had his medicals in August 2022 and nothing from immigration up to now. They prioritize Ukraine and Syria over taxpayers citizens. Too unorganized and fake. Pretending to help people at war and calamities from other countries neglecting its own people who contribute to economy.?

All true. Canada now sucks big time. In Canada, you will own nothing and not be happy. At all.

Nobody like East Indians as many lie,fraud,play ganes,dirty,destroy rental unit,try to use all govern agencies to sue you for nothing,noisy,no empathy,no respect of others ect\n\nIf you live in British Colombia Canada then you know what im talking about,\nBut its not a reason to be loud about it publicly and make them feel inferior,they already feel that way thats why they dont mix.\n\nThey bring back viruses in Canada from constant traveling back to India,\nWhere most poo on the streets and swim between dead bodies and how many without bathrooms?\n\nJust days ago a indian killed a Canadian in Vancouver over a vaping issue,,\nindian could not understand that vaping an inch away from a 5 years old kid was wrong so?\nHe stabbed the father who asked him to vape away,\nI mean,what the fuck!?!

Depleted the US and then go to Canada and do the same there. It’s sad but countries only have money for wars and nothing else.

Meanwhile in Canada, Toronto has become a tent city while refugees are housed in hotels and then public housing. \nI have always been a supporter of immigration and refugee asylum but it's becoming obvious even to people like me that we can no longer afford to bring in more people who sadly will continue to just drain our system until it collapses. \nThe average person is barely keeping their head above water with rent and food prices. There comes a point when you have to acknowledge that your cup is empty and there is nothing left to give.

Why did I have to wait for 4 years for my legal immigration process to come to Canada? And what do I pay around one hundred thousand dollars a year in taxes to this government when they do nothing to protect the Canadian borders?

GOOD,and we should never feel sorry for these people.entering Canada illegally should give an automatic deportation.\nI am fed up paying too much taxes for nothing and watching my government give it away to these criminals, AND YES YOU ARE A CRIMINAL IF YOU ENTER A COUNTRY ILLEGALLY NO MATTER WHAT REASON!!!

NOTHING has changed!! The RCMP still let them in and just say that they “might” be returned to the US. As for the illegal immigrants- they still feel 100% entitled to come to Canada, enter illegally, and live the easy life “for free” at the expense of Canadian taxpayers. Not only that, but once they are in Canada, they then send for the rest of their family. Got eleven kids? No problem, just walk across at Roxham Road because everything is for free for everyone in Canada.

Funny these stories of people flying through all these countries and the leaving the US to come here. Must be nice to have that kind of money. \n\nSo happy to see the border close. Go back to the US. We’re tired of paying for immigrants while they contribute nothing. \n\nThey’re safe in the US. They can stay there. Canadians are going without housing because immigrants are getting preferential treatment. NO. Sick of this. Safe third country? F that. First safe country only. Nobody should be cherry picking where they’re going if they’re really in so much danger. \n\nScrew them. It’s time Canada start looking after Canadians first. Our people are sleeping under tarps and these people with their 11 children are put up in hotels. \n\nNah. You can stay where you’re at.

it's about time.. there are ways to come into canada.. legally\ni know someone who is an illegal here in ottawa.i see him sometimes and he's just a homeless guy.. no papers.. nothing legal..

Yeah arresting them does nothing when they claim asylum. Turn them the flick around by gun point!! NO ILLEGAL ENTRY YOU WILL BE SHOT ON SIGHT this should be posted and armed guards ready to do their duty to CANADA and keep those immigrants out! If they wanna come here so bad then they all should be forced to APPLY TO CANADA for entry. What they are doing is criminal and maggot behaviour. It should be stopped…. Just saying

This is just a big bunch of bullshit. They will still bring the dirty illegal immigrants in and give them all welfare! Meanwhile they do nothing for the people that built Canada.

Given Canada's extensive welfare state there's no way they will put up with this . They simply can't afford to !\nThis is why welfare in general has to go . Its nothing but a magnet for the useless .\nNotice how no country south of Texas even has any welfare programs ! Why should Mexican taxpayers pay for the slugs when they can just cart them over here ?

The only thing you can do right now is completely close the border. NO further immigration or asylum seekers until further notice. Notice how Trudau is saying he is trying to work with US and, as always, nothing gets accomplished with this administration. Now Canada is mad at US too!

Nothing alleged about it. US is sending them to Canada.

There aint nothing good about Canada. America is where freedom lives

As a Canadian, I’m ashamed. I hate canada. We stand for nothing and fall to anything. I want to move to Florida.

It is illegal for these people to be in Canada or the USA. They come into my state (Texas) and trash it(drugs).millions are coming Canada gets a few. We are being invaded and our Federal government does nothing Gov Abbott's hands are tied, but he does his best

pathetic america and canada you just let those illegal in like its nothing no wonder crime and inflation is skyrocketing for u guys... you should take after my country australia.. we actually have balls...

CNN, your story is completely incorrect in every possible way. These are migrants which make them eligible for entrance into Canada to be evaluated. The police are informing them that the procedure is to be arrested and then they are lead through an evaulation process where they are assessed or denied refugee status. \n That is how refugees are supposed to be treated according to the 1951 Refugee Convention of the UN that Canada AND THE US not only signed but drew up. Nothing is in the Convention that says separating familiies is legitmate treatment, as has been done at the US southern border. \n It's OK CNN. I'm used to your feckless approach to journalism.

Oh okay, CNN will say its a problem when they cross from the US to Canada but has nothing to say when the cross from Mexico to the US. Typical full of ?CNN???

Where i live in canada , i have a lot of these people in my neighborhood , they are a disgrace to canada , they are nothing but a problem for people in my neighborhood . They are partying all hours of the night , stealing things from peoples property , fighting and drunk in the streets late at night , they should be all deported like the animals they are !!!!!
