To summarize;\nCanada has not just clean but tasty tap water, significantly lower cost of living for the same quality of life, prettier women, better city planning, but the US has better airlines.\n\nYou would think all of those celebrities who cried about how they would leave the US to come to Canada in 2016 apparently couldn't even afford a plane ticket out of there cause none of them left.

I cried when he talked about Columbus Oh. Reason why it’s because moved here from Chicago and like wtf is this. ??

Dawg, Van Nuys to Long Beach?! Nahh that’s doable. Try fam in AB, and some in ON. Shit some in QC and ON. Easily 6-12+ hour drives depending which city in each province.\nEDIT: y’all live in QC… CoL cheap there; yes, but Provincial taxes high asf. Also, QC had to cry all day long to get all these extra Fed favors.

*Cries in Vancouver*

I used to literally cry because my dream was to be an expat outside the US, but ever since 2020 and how other Western countries handled freedom and human rights, I lost the desire to move to Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand or any other Western country that suppresses medical freedom.

To all those crying about the whole situation in Canada I suggest you pay a visit in Albania and live here for some time.A young mum throwed her baby in the river because she could not keep her and because the factory she worked for would not follow the law and give her the basic 1 year allowance for new mums.

Soon You will cry ?

I’m a Kenyan-American but seeing that Indian man struggling on the farm like that just for the daughter to be exploited, just made me cry throughout the Documentary. This is so wrong!?

F the liberal city they cry about crime but cuddle them. And stop the race card shit. Same opportunities it's your choice of out come.

George Floyd is being discussed in Canada?\nKeep your crying in America

My sister went to Canada to study animation because it was a quarter of the price, faster, and had better employment numbers than our schools in America. Everything went very smooth, she got steady employment that was willing to sponsor her visas and a reasonably straightforward path to dual citizenship.\n\nWhen we road-tripped up to Vancouver to get her settled, her landlady got upset with us when we pulled out the tools and started to adapt for her a custom bedframe riser. When we checked in to see what we had done wrong, we found her crying on the porch. She said her parents sent her away to Canada without guidance, help, or compassion, and that she was homesick still even 25 years later.

1 - It was other people’s income taxes that paid for & made the Canada you met, liked & had an opportunity to thrive in. If you’re questioning why you have to pay higher taxes when you earn more, think about refunding the benefits you had when you weren’t earning as much\n\n2 - 8 hours in an ER is not an emergency, if there’s a life threatening incident, you get the medical care you need\n\n3 - Quality living costs money everywhere in the world, you get what you’re willing to pay for. There are $35 phone plans & you can use public transportation & skip car insurance and maintenance. US inflation is worse off than Canada\n\n4 - There are so many things to do in Canada, it’s just not in your forte. Outdoor activities in both winter & summer\n\n5 - Cry me a river!\n\n6 - SMH\n\n7 - Leaving Canada to go back to where you’re unsafe, unsteady power supply & almost non-existent healthcare?\n\n8 - It’s a huge trade-off, I left Canada 9 months ago to the West Coast of the US & couldn’t stop talking about escaping sub zero temperatures BUT putting everything on the table, Canada works out best for & I’m looking forward to moving back. \n\n9 - Which countries does Canadian passport allow you to live & work in?\n\n10 - This I agree, it’s a high regulated society & it could be a turn off.\n\n11 - False! In a country where 37.5 hours is considered fulltime? How many federal holidays does Canada have? If you’re working 10 jobs to stay afloat, that’s absolutely on you, it’s not a “Canadian issue”.

it made me cry ? , the faith that father had on her daughter and he supports her , and she is so mentally strong , hope for best guys , Indian government should do some thing by its international fairs.

Looking into this All I can say is. I thank God ? Times. My story ?\nWas sold a dream in Indian animation school was cheated badly I cried in corner\nWas cheated \nBut didn't give up. Somehow got a job. \nDoing great in India. But had my dreams like Canada would be great. As salary is more. \nBut now. \n\nI feel I am living like a king enjoying my life here as a Bharatiya. \n\nYes I don't have millions \nBut I have a peace of mind. I have a job which helps me support my family and I get. Good night sleep. I am happy whatever God has given me and I always thank him. Today I just thank double after seeing this one video. Jai Hind ???️?

I WANNA CRY BECAUSE SIKH GOT ARESSTED

If you don't cry after watching this, I'll not consider you as a human...

OMG...indigenous peoples also migrated to north america for crying out loud. yes, they've been here longest but immigrants they be.

I'm sitting here crying for my brethren, people exploiting others for their future and dreams then capitalizing off of it, destroying a life and breeding hopelessness....this is why there is no future for our world

In this day of internet and social media connectivity, These students did ZERO RESEARCH ON BACKGROUND and just joined and are now crying?

Sooner you realise Better it is --> IN INDIA EVERY ILLEGAL AND WRONG DOING IS DONE LIASONING WITH G0VT, so it's same in CANADA too.\n\nSo there is nothing to cry, it's just people who should keep their eyes open. Nothing's gonna change

It’s sad but why would int students pay the same as Canadian? Why are parents so desperate to send their kids back home by taking massive loans and crying a river when it’s your own choice? India got quality education too

Now that the students are allowed to work for 37.5 hours officially no more cash in hand work or no exploitation\n\nSo, every cry may not be heard by government but some for sure, I am hopeful for my Indians kids to survive and get them legitimate jobs.

I went through all this when I was student , so so true , I was literally crying while watching this because I can feel the pain ???

why is this news and new. It's been happening for years. there is such things as google to see what is required, but shame on you for crying foul, when you could have looked it up, instead of using recruiters. No sympathy

Meanwhile the spoiled USA students are crying about using the wrong pronouns…

The way dilpreetkaur fought for her rights nd I started even crying after listening her father that how he arranged the fee for her college ?

Probably some Khlistanis made him do it. It’ll be fun if no one comes to his recuse now! ? He’ll be crying in the prison. You go to college to study. Do that and gtfo!

Just wear it inside stupid. You know the rules. Campus is no weapons zone. If you still want to wear it, atleast hide it or wear it inside your shirt. You are not in punjab. And the campus won't change their policy for one kid. Crying out loud, smh.

Religion does not give the right to do whatever you want and justify it by crying religion.\nTomorrow your religion will tell you ak-47 is a religious symbol doesn't matter you can carry it around

U people don't under estimate your country INDIA????????????????????????????. You had got the strength to go any where on the globe from your motherland India.....whenever any crisis occurs abroad YOUR motherland INDIA will cry for her Son of the soil and will call u back to return home.....than you people will cry in sorrow....

america has the same tax rate fyi & the same wait time in the hospital AND its not free so … being in america where i’ve literally been turned away from getting help when i was sick at the hospital because of money when i was little… hearing you in canada complain about FREE healthcare is annoying & sounds entitled & ungrateful. if u come to america u would be crying

Ungrateful...in the USA no one is more arrogant than african females....trust me. Just go back home to nigeria...youll be crying yourselves to sleep every night. I never experienced one ounce of racism from Canadians...try to be more modest and appreciative.

If you people came to the UK or countries in Europe you would cry. I just looked at canadian tax brackets they are so so great compared to the UK we pay 45% just at any amount earned over 50K pounds

You’re in Canada and crying ?? come to the UK

Two of u are beautiful ladies. I Lov you ! Tnk you for dis information. Let me stay back in my Country and continue to pray more for her. I have been praying, vigil, crying for dis our Country for many years now. Next now is action ! Hope in GOD ALMIGHTY and not in a man or a particular Country. I know & l believe dat Holy Spirit is always in control. Tnk you ladies for dis truth. Regards !

What people fail to understand is that the grass is always greener on the other side...until you get there and realise that its just different shades of green. There are so many benefits to living in Africa. And there are benefits to living in western countries too. If you like jobbing (being an employee), saving for retirement and having a stable government to protect your investment or give you welfare benefits and having free healthcare and generally living a risk-free life, then abroad is for you. There are downsides though - while you have good roads and healthcare, you can hardly save, your mental health is on the line, you probably will have no social life, the genetically modified food, polluted air, chemicalized everything will cut your life span down. You can be an enterpreneur but the taxes alone, the regulation, etc can discourage you. \n\nIn Africa, there are security concerns but the same security concerns exist in all countries, only they differ in their nature. In Africa, I can grow my food, I can build my house according to my budget (no mortgage), I can start a business any day, i can feed on little money ( you can find markets that sell cheap food produce). And most importantly for me, the health factor - organic food, family and friends to help with your mental health and laugh and cry with you as the occasion demands. \n\nAnd now the icing on the cake - you can make the same dollar you make abroad from your country! So many online platforms to be a freelancer, to work for companies and individuals abroad. So you are making the same money and not drowning in taxes, in high rents, insurance fees and you can afford top-notch healthcare, even better than what you can get abroad. \n So it's up to you. Stop believing that abroad is better. it's not actually. I swore I wouldn't raise a child in London because of the high rate of knife crimes on the streets and the government' s lax attitude towards it because such crimes involve black kids. I never felt such fear in Africa. To each his own. My African shade of green works well for me. Abeg

What do you want to achieve with your video? At times it looks like a genuine cry from the heart and at times, your words are too harsh on Canada. First, seems you only lived in Vancouver. Would you have the same feeling or solitude if you lived in a more open space like Toronto, Montréal or St- John where geography is totally different. You speak of Vancouver as being an suburb of Seattle. Friend, it’s North America and there’s one culture, one language, one type of city. You can’t wish Canada were a Spain, France or Italy lookalike. If you want a taste of Europe in Canada, then why not move to Québec. With New-Orleans, Québec city or Montréal are the two places with the more European cachet. I understand you like the proximity of European cities and countries and I’m happy for you that you now live in a city where you feel alive and happy. But please, don’t take Canada for what it’s not: Europe. It’s an extension of US. as for weather, it’s a northern country and Vancouver is the London of the west coast. Rainy but mild.

Thanks Girls ? Bravo for this information ? moving from London to Nigeria and then living in America now, I once thought of moving to Canada but America gives one flexibility and freedom to grow and be wealthy from any level, so America is the Dream country for most people so I'm glad I stayed back in America ✌️ Thanks for that clarity and closure ?Now I feel so proud that I never moved, I for cry tire???

My own problem with this people who want to run away is you will run with you good brain while you are away mallam will be ruling us and you start to cry from there.

Oh my God I am crying. 5 years now I am going to meet you in person inshallah, your last words made my day, god bless you in many folds

Racism is only going to get worse because those who cry RACISM every step they take are abusing the term. Frankly i am tired of it, what about racism against white people that want to live in their native countries? We have all these immigrants of different culture and color come to our countries and try to turn it into the very country they fled from in search of better life. And if you oppose them, or ask them to try to live by our cultural traditions since they came to our country, they scream Racism!!! Enough is enough, if you don't like it, go back to the land of your ancestors because that is where you belong.

How discouraging to hear you and even after I read the comments about Canada ,,, I'm French Canadian but have lived in Australia for over 35 yrs , since 1982 ,,, now I'm divorced , and no family here ,, feeling very homesick and missing my family back home ,,, I'm 71 yrs old now ,, and I would like to return to Ottawa to live where I grew up, but listening to all of you ,, and to see how bad Canada became ,, just makes my heart cry ,,, what am I to do ,,, now ,, even though I'm part of a church group ,, but they are not even friends , just acquaintances , ,, and have no family here , my children live in Ottawa as well,, even though I've checked out many things in Ottawa about finances and rentals for seniors , to prepare myself for what I'm up against ,, , and that's another thing , I'm on the pension ,, and my health is starting to make me weaker in many ways ,,, anyway , listening to all these info ,, I really feel scared and so alone ,,, I suppose I could give my life totally to God , and forget about my family and everything ,, since I can see that if I do return to Ottawa ,, my life will be a worse living hell than here ,, ,what would you do knowing all this info ,, where can I go ,, nowhere it would seem ,, God help me ,,, and show me the way ,,, I have nowhere to go,

I wanted to see if she cried in the video.\nThumbnail: ?

90% crying and whining.

Yeah the +40/-40°C, and especially the “so cold your body just cries” bit? Yeah that’s living in Iowa.

I strongly think that immigrants are idealizing Canada. Any place you settle in, you'll have to create your own place... Stop crying, nothing will fall from heaven when you're an immigrant.

imigrated here in Feb of '94 ,always crying and complaining or taking everything for granted doesnt get you anywhere. Do i like -35 in Winter, No 1 but its part of it. \nQuestion first of all ,why did you decide to leave your Country, expecting 'milk an honey' ,do your homework first ! And why does everyone always flock to the Big Cities,how about try the smaller cities or Country first.

Canada is a land with great resources, great opportunity and potential, but for a place with so much supposedly smart people they do alot of dumb things. Been here 7 years now and I have seen so many issues that have obvious solutions but because of some weird culture or heritage or whatever they just keep doing the same thing until it hurts them. The real estate market is an absolute MESS and everybody knows. Money laundering, realtors colluding to set prices, blind auctions etc you name it. But they are just gonna keep doing the same thing until the country is in a major recession. Then everybody is going to be crying for bailouts. The health system is a MESS. Trying to find a doctor is like finding a needle in a haystack. They have them driving taxis instead, claiming that their qualifications arent as good. Yet they dont have enough doctors or nurses to support anything. Coworkers whose spouses work in those industries let me know they have to be working ridiculous shifts because there are not enough people. The taxes are ridiculous. I work in I.T. and taxes are like roughly half my salary. Many coworkers have told me all the illegal stuff they do to get around the taxes. Which I don't do because I wasn't raised like that. But people get taxed so much everyone is doing some thing to try to bypass it. And if you dont know the tricks or dont want to do them, you just get screwed. People don't talk about real issues here. There is alot of fake positivity and optimism because they dont want people to get sad and suicidal from the really long and harsh winter. I used to wonder why there were so many train delays until some one explained to me that many people commit suicides in winter by stepping in front of the trains. The only thing propping up this country is the constant influx of immigrant slave labour through the college system, (Like a ponzi scheme). But the immigrants are going to stop coming here if they cant even afford to live at all. Even the regular citizens cant afford it. So what will the country do after that, since there is an elderly population and not enough people to support the industries? Right now most of the immigrants come here and save up there money to go somewhere else or back home after they realize what a shitshow it is. I even have coworkers born and raised in Canada who are telling me they want to leave. Canada needs to stop patting itself on the back for doing stupid apologies and stuff like that, and actually do economically sound things to stop digging themselves into this hole. Great potential for this country but I don't know if it will ever be realized.

-cries on the Canadian prairies- no one ever visits. \n\nLoved the accent! Spot on! ?

*What?? No mention of Ryan Reynolds, who is also a Canadian*\n\nRyan Reynolds: Right, I'ma head to a corner and cry now.
