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.

Didn’t even get into the stupid inter provincial fighting (vetoing pipelines, etc). The country has also suffered from a perpetual identity crisis and for too long prided its self on not being American while being an almost identical twin to its neighbour down south. \n\nThis unexceptional display of a weak identity and economic brain drain show why merging with the us is the answer long term. \n\n“It’ll never happen!” Mentality is a testament to the lack of creativity and big ideas needed to advance that’s cemented into people’s minds here. \n\nThe video highlighted that well.

So grateful to see all the comments. I'm moving to Canada soon and the comments from locals helped me understand the ground reality.\nI have questions about small business/ start ups, can any of you fine people help me with these? \n1. What are the major challenges of starting a small business/startups? \n2. Is expensive mobile data a major hindrance to the growth of apps which provide services? \n3. Red flags/negatives of starting a small business. Taxes, govt procedures, ease of doing business, etc.\n4. Is funding for a good app based business idea available easily? \n5. If I have an app based idea and the backend/IT operations run out of India what could be the issues I could face legally or taxwise? \n\nWill really appreciate guidance as I'm new to Canada and really looking for real business advice. Thanks much.

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).

i have an idea for a business and i need an investor probably wouldn't need to much money in reality. 100k

Build towns that are surrounded by walls give them a small space to live and build factories. Allow these people to have a small check and live and work in those small cities say in the middle of nowhere. Make them work for 1 year in those places and as long as they do good not crime and show up for work and take care of there living space then allow them to become citizens. That way you weed out the criminals and non hard workers. In 1 year you will have a good idea of who should be staying. Also its them paying for there spot and contributing to the us economy. Once they become contributing members of society and they get on there feet out of each check they will take a small amount to pay for all the resources that were used to help them. Also I belive the majority of the ones let in should be women and the young children. If I don't get free help working full time struggling they shouldn't either. Let's make america a manufacturing power house like we're were in the past and the only reason we are a super power now. Also do the same thing for criminals and the homeless teach them worth ethic and how to follow laws instead of giving them handouts to go buy more dope

We need to boot the Liberals and cut the federal government in half. \n\nI had no idea, but our federal government is Canada’s largest employer. ?

Invite all the nice Mexican people’s to this side then make Lake Mexicana Resort Country with a few Tzar Bombas! Eh eh right! I knew you’d think that was a good idea too. \nI mean obvious solution can’t we just buy Mexico and make it part of US territory? Or do we not want Mexico? Doesn’t I have any natural resources? No Not really I guess. I mean Corona is ok. And I do like lite blue Agave.

“One of the least corrupt countries in the world” I had no idea the bar was so terribly low.

Here's the best idea...let's make America Great and ad on 5states..we juz take Mexico and make it part of America.\nBreak it down into 5states.\nThis will eliminate the sneaking in.

Trump's wall now doesn't see to crazy idea does it

The wall sounds like a fantastic idea now but everyone was talking shit about Trump. Every country protects thier borders and they don't tolerate illegal immigrants and often send them right back meanwhile we put immigrants in high end fancy hotels and give them benefits

You have no idea what they have planned for London and then the UK? ?️ A UK caliphate. Shariah law. Jizya infidel tax for non Muslims to humiliate them as their Quran teaches. \n\nThey’ll say it’s a small tax just for protection - but that’s another classic islam dawah lie. The jizya is enforced to humiliate the christian’s and Jew, up to 50%, which if you don’t pay, means death.\n\nWe need Churchill back to stop this evil.

We need to stop worrying about what Europe and China got going on and start focusing on the Americas. Central, South, Mexico, the Caribbean have this idea that America is the land of opportunities and it really is not.

Trump had the right idea build the wall they want to come in do it legally

No idea why they want to come here. America is becoming a crap hole

I don’t agree. I say let them in. Their is plenty of room and opportunity. We Americans are Rich and Fat & have no idea what these people have been through… but what do I know.

It might be a good idea to take Venezuelans because they’re fleeing communism and the west is increasingly pushing for it.

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.

Here’s an idea…how about we take the billions of dollars in weaponry that we’re giving the corrupt Ukrainian military to fight a war they won’t be able to win in the long run and give it to these people so they can take their own country back?

Genius idea!

no idea is a bad idea

This is just becoming unsustainable. And the idea these migrants have that they have a right to come here is BS. Hey you passed through how many countries to get here? There is a rule that says you have to stop at the first country that’s safe. Not hey I get to choose where I get to go. Biden has created this problem he needs to take responsibility for it.

I got an idea stead of going to someone else's country for your freedom why don't you stand up and fight for your own freedom in your own country shame on the people that don't stand up for their own rights

Ok heres an idea , the US should invade Mexico. Start cleaning house , retrain theyre military and get rid of the cartels and coruption. Thats what weve done to other countries. Just a crazy idea but make it a place worth staying in

President Biden might want to put together a task force made up primarily of those from border states and those with large immigrant populations. The task force can be requested to make an up-to-date assessment with our successes and failures, a new list of goals with steps to get there, as well as new ideas to try out on current problems, while suggesting new policies and government procedures. Whatever we're doing it just isn't working anymore so we must do better. Immediately, please.

Using bulldozers to slowly push them back to Mexico would be a good idea. This would not be happening with all these other countries pushing through Mexico to get to the US, if Mexico would handle their borders properly.

Will admit I initially laughed at the idea of the Trump Wall. Not laughing now.

These people have no idea they are just fleeing to a different form of tyrany. But that's what the Canadian government wants. A bunch of despirate immigrants willing to do anything for a piece of the cake.

If anyone still thinks the wall is a bad idea I'd suggest Razorfists video on it

Haitians been invading our country by force as well recently. Along with their thousands of children smh. Absolute madness. The Wall being built wasn't a bad idea. It needs to be multiple walls at our borders. insane!

Goosebumps.. wt we try to escape. N have to go threw feeling it may b the only hope to take that chance.. some of y'all have no idea what that's like .. nd it shows .. plenty of space we're just set up off greed nd selfish ways of operation, among our own society. Which is built up from everyone around the world but Hispanics have been in the land Texas nd California was originally theirs .. man life is weird , so much gets fuzzy n blemished we don't see the mere existence in the eyes of some these ppl .. the countless ppl that die trying the screams .. the treachery.. \n\nWe're all one ..

Here is an idea, stay in Venezuela and fix it. There is power in numbers, just not when you all run away.

It seems like you have no real idea of what Canada is like as there are three seasons and the summer is very hot in many areas. The reason more why there is not much population up north in many places is geography as it is very rugged. Like the majority of the Western USA being desert, mountains and scrub. There is also still lots of land around the populated areas and there are 40 million people living there.

That wall doesn’t look like it was a bad idea now huh?

This is very sad. These people had no choice but to migrate, mostly due to US policies and how they have robbed their country of basic opportunity.\n\nThese are human beings. Everyone has a right to survive. \n\nI have no idea why they keep doing this. Racism I guess. \n\nOPEN THE FUCKING BORDER NOW!!!!!!\n\nSHAME ON THE BORDER GESTAPO. YOU GOT YOURS SO EVERYONE ELSE CAN GO FUCK OFF EH???? \n\nOPEN THE FUCKING BORDER!!!!!!

I have no idea why they want to come here it’s going to get worse

Why your running like this, Mexico is having more history than America. Once upon a time ARYAVARTAM people use to travel through North East of Russia( Rushi bhumi) - Alaska and that's the only easy passage to Patala lokam ( AMERICA), South America. Like that Sanatana dharmam was there in the form of Maya civilization. My idea is VASUDHAIVA KUTUMBAKAM make visa free World but all must have passport.

Mexico has a wall tht was built to keep Venezuelan ppl out. Tht where trump got his idea from.

I thought all you liberal Democrats that are watching CNN. Love the idea of open borders. You know, we have room for everyone.

I feel bad for those migrants. They have no idea the garbage dump of a country they just walked into.

what's also bad is so many Americans can't even get housing cause we ain't being paid enough to get housing or apartment, we can't even feed ourselves and neither can our govt. We have so much violence too,, gun violence as well.. I don't understand how the false idea of them getting help here keeps spreading. The USA can't even help their own ppl

These people got the wrong idea from others already in the country. Now they think that they are “also” entitled.\nThat is why is better to prevent a problem before starting, or put a stop to it quickly as soon as it begins. If not, it will get out of hand. And that’s with everything in life.

This is bull shit there has always been thousands of people coming out of the u.s and going into it they work there and have family that still live in Mexico it happens everyday has for 100s of years remember Texas used to be a part of Mexico. Most are Americans who have dual citizenship not people who are from fuckin Venezuela. Btw I used to live there when I was in the army for 4 years seen it everyday. Vs outsiders who have no idea what is going on this is right wing soundbite write. All over it.

I feel bad for the immigrants who are able to get into America. They have no idea that America is about to be judged by God with plagues, bank failure, civil war and martial law, food and water shortages, tyrannical government, mushroom clouds and invasion, earthquakes that cause California to go into the sea. Tsunami waves that will submerge west and east coast. Watch, they will leave and go back to their country once these things take place and Americans will start fleeing to Mexico instead.

Self entitlement is a leftist idea, not a conservative value. You’ll never see Brandon saying we don’t have the money for this, unless it would be some sort of right to life, initiative, or second amendment, initiative, or anything that makes America great, but when it comes to government spending money we don’t have and pay for it by printing money. He will do that.

Love to see you guys taking Jimmy Rees’ idea (if you did), these interviews are gold.

I had no idea CNN still existed

Scooped the idea from Jan 6 2020

This is what every democrat voted for. They hate America and want it destroyed. They have no idea how good Americans have it.
