Why would you want to ask that kind of question basically you telling the Arab world to leave their land. I live in US with my AK if someone told me to leave my land, you better think twice. Free Palestinian Palestinian has the right to defend itself.

That's right you want the west to keep you safe but would never take anyone of your brother and sisters that you directly Radicalised

I stopped visiting Canada 40 years ago because of insane or corrupt border control policies. I traveled to Canada from California to record an album for a popular rock star. My crew number 4 people and we had reserves a month for basic tracking in a studio there. We bought our own reels of 3 inch wide recording tape because the studio wanted twice the rate as normal and since my studio was a distributor for the mastering tapes we brought from my own inventory. Each reel of tape was 3 lbs and brought 30 reels. We got to customs and they said we owed money for importing the tape. Normally a reel would have been $180, and customs wanted $38,000 x 20, and would not let us retrieve it to take it back to the US side of the border. How can a tape worth $180 suddenly have duty of $38,000?\nIt was explained to me as the Potential Value of the tape which meant AFTER a hit song was recording in it. Most recordings are total losses and the tape cant used on a new project even if properly bulk-erased. They expected me to pay on the spot $760,000 in duties. I gave up and left the tape with them. I called the artist and said we could not do the project in Canada and we went back to California. The artist came to us a few months later and the result was a minor hit, and probably barely made its production cost since the label only distributed it in Canada. I talked to an international trade lawyer about what happened and he said customs officials were wrong in Canada but they are given full latitude with no appeal so his advice was never take anything over the border that I did not mind being confiscated. Sometimes they would let it in because it was going back out in a month, but likely they sold it off and pocketed the money. The US is corrupt on a federal level but Canada is corrupt on the local level. I moved out of the US 24 years ago have a much higher quality of life than is even possible in the US, and live very cheaply. Total cost of living with a very active social and cultural life impossible to duplicate in the US which as some of the least options for culture. And my cost of living is $1500 a month, less than utilities alone for one house in California, and that is for 2 people. Last month for example I attended world class opera, ballet and symphonies 9 times, and went out to dinner, in jazz clubs or dance clubs, visited12 top museums, and it was still under $1500 for the month. A pair of tickets to the MET in NYC for lower grade performance, sets, orchestra ad theater, was $1800!! $600 for tickets to drama for 2. Here there 237 drama theaters within walking distance of my city center home, and can walk anywhere at any time of day and be safe due to VERY low crime rates. Free medical is good. I am not citizen but still I had an operation and 10 days in a vip single room for $5300 and despite my insurance I had been paying back in California $824.month, it was going to cost me out o pocket $500,000 and one day in a recovery 12 bed room, and require paid nursing attendant for 30 days. The results were great and was treated like king.\nCanadians have lost control of their government but Americas are screwed regardless, with lower than international standards for everything, with crime, corruption in Washington, extreme cost of living, no access to culture, few if any safe parks. My adopted city is not only far more beautiful than any US city, my GF can walk, alone, anywhere in a city of 7mil at any time of day through any of the 600 beautiful parks open 24/7..at 3am. There are no homeless, and 80% of those over 20yo own their home clear of debt. No college debt despite twice the % of people having degrees. The rest of the world caught up and has surpassed the US and Europe in quality of life. \n\nI have only been back to the US 5 times in 24 years and each time I am shocked by how much the entire society has declined while most of the world outside of Europe, Canada, US, UK or Australia have dramatically improved.\nEvery year since 2008 more Americans leave the US to live elsewhere than legal immigrants arrive.

Why would you want to leave Indonesia for Canada? Crime's not so bad in Indonesia. More violent and drugs crime in Canada, I think. And speaking at least for myself as a White person, I think the police in Indonesia are a lot nicer and more fair. Used to live in Germany too but that was 40 years ago before the EU tyranny and migration horrors.\n\nGood for you though even though your channel is not about politics to have mentioned the censorship and cancel culture.

we can also ask, Britian ore the USA if they would take al the zionist from the middle east. First the Britian is quilty about this conflict, because they have braught the jews there and second the USA because they support them.. so if they want they can also give a land in GB ore USA

Who is not concerned by the plight of the Palestinians???? Over 7000 babies and children killed and counting. Who would not be concerned??? Pray for Israel for leaders who want to live in peace with the Arab world.

leave to where? The prices of housing are currently horrible in all developed countries. Unless you are native/have family in a developing country, you would hardly want to move from a developed to a developing country. (buying property there as a foreigner seems risky to me.)\nUnless you're a retiree and have a steady income anyways.

Finally, what we've always wanted! Deportations, stricter laws and a complete revamp of our immigration system would also be most welcome. Im not even going to start about the root cause of this mess of a country....get out and Vote.

The point is to not leave ,to not be displaced and leave the invader the freedom to take the land. The Palestinians have the Right to be there. If the humanitarian aid could get in, not one Palestinian would suffer from hunger or cold. But the Israelis gov wants them to leave or die. So they keep the blockade up and the bombs falling

He’s right that it’s their land and they shouldn’t leave it just because israel wants them off it, but Saudi Arabia is implicit in the Israeli crimes and their own. They would rather make deals with israel instead of protecting their fellow muslims

Why would they wanna be refugees when they can be citizens of their own country. Like seriously, you rather want them to leave as refugees, dependent on someone else for basic needs then be peacefully in their country

Why didn't he just say his country would open their borders to any Palestinians who voluntarily WANT to leave Palestine?\n\nIt's that simple! \n\nNone of them would be FORCED to leave, sheesh! But notice his subterfuge! The fact is, no one WANTS the Palestinians.

The amount of y’all that don’t realize he’s saying these things purely for your exact reactions and that the Arab world wants NOTHING to do with Palestine or any refugees that would come from it. They prefer to keep this ongoing by saying political things like this so their populations realize how much better they have it and won’t rebel against them.

I'm Canadian and cannot understand why ANYONE would EVER want to move to the US. Where you can be shot at anytime, where social injustice reins and racism rules. Where the country is heading for fascism. Give me peaceful, polite beautiful, free Canada (did I mention safe?) any day and I will happily pay more for groceries, YES there are some things that need changing, but that requires voters who actually want improvements.

No one blamed the European countries when they didn’t want to take in Jews and just gave them to the Nazis…\nWhy would I as a European blame the Arab countries for not taking in even more refugees, when it just helps Israel to get away with more human rights violations and displacement of people ?\nBut generally I have lost all my fate in western media. Even if the stick to the fact they leave out important information if it doesn’t suit Israel. Sad thing is I don’t even believe they get paid for that…\nI can only hope other people will be smart enough to realise this and punish our politicians for the involvement in this

Saudi Arabia is dodging, two ways, one everybody wants to leave war torn\nThe whole world left to Europe\nBut with Palestine, Saudi Arabia doesn't want to accept. Even worse they just saying how they don't want to leave the land. Nice one because they like war correctly,\n\nThe funny thing is, he just fooled you. Question is family that have childrens would love to leave. They don't care about Palestine. They just want to protect family and Saudi Arabia doesn't want to accept them.\n\nWhen there is war, ppl escape, but here Muslim is being brainwashed that Palestine don't want to leave lmao.\n\nSaudi Arabia can't even stop the war because of their allies are Israel lol

Bro, of COURSE they want a refuge and if you werent clandestinely supporting hamas you would offer refuge to civilians for long enough hamas can be ousted lifting israel from their terror and the Palestinians freed from their tyrany

The Palestinians are being used by the rest of the muzlem world to bring about the day when muzlems kill the jews. All the details are in the hadith, koran and tafseer. They won't allow the Palestinians that do want to leave because of their religious war. They won't be honest about it though. Getting a muzlem to speak the truth to non muzlems would be 'lahs first miracle

The root cause of frequent wars, killings, murders, arrests, harassment is that Palestinians have been removed from their land, homes and farmlands. If they can receive what was taken from them by force by the Israelis then the area shall return to peace. Simple: the occupation has to brought to an end. Period.\n\nIf the Palestinians are to be removed from Gaza and West Bank into other Arab nations that would be giving victory to the Israelis who have two main objectives: (1) to remove all Palestinians from Palestinian lands(ethnic cleansing mission) (2) to claim ownership of the entire Palestinian territory (complete occupation of all of Palestine).\n\nFor me, if it comes to the worst senerio, the Palestinians can be given an option, either to seek safety elsewhere in other nations as refugees, if they want to, or to remain on their own land at all costs. \n\nI know most Palestinians shall choose to stay back. Remember, Jerusalem is a blessed holy land for Muslims. There are so many religious benefits for staying there. Every Muslim dreams of being a frequent visitor or native of the holy land in Palestine. Infact, they await both the messiah(Jesus peace be upon him) and the mahdi who shall come to lead them in to posperity in that land. So, they are not going anywhere. The Palestinian Muslims shall continue to live there until the end of time.

Bang on the money to coin an American phrase. ???\nWhy would Arab states help facilitate Israeli government plan to remove all Palestian populations? \nAs the man says, the Palestinians dont want to leave their land, its the Zionists that want that.

The JEWS want PALESTINIANS to leave their land.\nTaking some refugee is like MODUS OPERANDI\n\nBut isnt it would be better if you SENT SOME TROOPS there ?\n\nTHEY ARE several NON ARAB Countries that wanna send troops to help Palestine but the problem is they CAN NOT HAVE AN AREA TO BUILD TEMPORARY ARMY BASE that close to the BATTLE GROUND since the sorrounded ARAB countries DONT LET IT.

What the Palestinians want is what any people would want in their situation, an end to Hamas. Hamas has taken everything from them and now they want their blood to be spilled in the name of Hamas.

Why should countries take in Palestinian refugees? That would give Israel free rein and access without any problem. That, my friend, is what Israel wants.

What has happened in Canada is actually quite simple. Companies sell products and services. Companies require employees in order to sell those products and services. The difference between what the companies can those products and services for and what they pay the employees is profit. The owners of the companies want to maximize this profit, therefore want to pay employees as little as possible. Scarcity is labour is one of the driving factors behind what employees are paid. One way to decrease scarcity of labour is to bring in massive amounts of immigrants. That is exactly what Canada has been doing for decades. The owners of the companies take profits and invest it in real estate. This makes real estate unaffordable for the employees whose wages have been suppressed. Lower wages also means less money from taxes available for services like health care. We allowed our politicians to be bribed into allowing massive levels of immigration. Stagnant wage growth resulted in lowered consumptive capacity in the economy. This lead to stagnant economic activity and lowered investment into things that would make the Canadian economy more productive. What we have now is unaffordable housing. Lack of jobs. A failing health care system. An educational system where the bar was lowered to accommodate the lowest common denominator. Increased crime and substance abuse resulting from the subsequent hopelessness. Several families living in a single house. People working several low paying jobs just to try to get by. People with full-time jobs that are forced to choose between being homeless or starving to death. The immigrants that are still coming here are sleeping on the sidewalk in front of homeless shelters, or maybe scraping by delivering UberEats.

Its interesting that as soon as the US government decided that monopolies where great, things started to fall apart here too. Housing prices are out of control, and homelessness is increasing - along with laws victimizing homeless people. Its like the people who run these companies are mentally ill. They want customers and employees, but they do everything they can to destroy or drive away everyone who could become a customer or employee.\n\nI was lucky to buy something before housing prices went insane. But now there's no way to move anymore because renting is too expensive, and investors just out bid everyone and drive up the prices. I really prefer renting, and I used to always move to be near my current job. But for my next job I would have to waste 15 hours a week to drive to a job I could do just as well at home. If I didn't have family here, I would leave.

I like how you compared the pros and cons of why people would want to (or not want to) immigrate to Canada.

All your points are valid. I would add that, sadly, many come to Canada to get a citizenship of convenience. Once they have a dual citizenship as Canadian, they go back to the home country and only remember that they are Canadian when they want or need something. Making dual citizenship illegal would resolve this. You are in or you are out. He who serves two masters, serves neither.

First of all it's not Canada, it's changed to Chinada and it's not run by Trudeau, it's Dumbdeau. Simple as that . No competive or hard working Europeans are let in . Not wanted in the least .if I was young there is no way in the world I would be here . The next stage is communism and it's not far off .

Currently, annual immigration in Canada amounts to around 500,000 new immigrants – one of the highest rates per population of any country in the world. As of 2022, there were more than eight million immigrants with permanent residence living in Canada - roughly 20 percent of the total Canadian population. Where is the data coming from that no one wants to live in Canada anymore?\n\nCanadians love to complain. Yes, there is crime, homelessness, drug use, extreme weather, housing crisis... but that's not isolated to Canada. Obviously there are ways to improve, but I wonder which other country would Canadians like to live in instead? Also, Canada is not just Vancouver and Toronto... Canadians are spoiled with the ability to easily move to lower cost of living areas in the same country. Imagine living in Singapore where and entire country is expensive and a Toyota Prius costs more than $100k, or Hong Kong where the real estate prices make Vancouver seem cheap... but people can't move away.

Canadians don’t want you coming here! Regardless of what you hear the feckless, government funded, media hacks say, the fact is, the Canadian People do not want you USA rejects, Or any other illegal immigrants invading Canada! Trudeau, stating that he speaks for all Canadians is an outright LIE! If “Canadians” had their fair say, Trudeau would be LONG GONE!! We despise Trudeau, and we despise illegal migrants!

Who would want to come to this f up country?? Why?

If the economic trend stays the same people will be more miserable and angrier than they already are, who wants to live in a country where everybody is angry and sad, I would move out of this country in a heartbeat if there wasn't so many roadblocks keeping us captive and poor.

as an Immigrant, I'm done immigrating for now but I get taxed net net around 45% + HST + Carbon tax + Property taxes, for all these taxes, I get really not much back. I don't qualify for most services, I don't get dental, I don't need many either, but it is putting a lot of pressure on my entrepreneurship aspirations. The healthcare is truly atrocious and still need to fly for medical appointments by good doctors since doctors here are dumber for some reason. If you want to be an entrepreneur who owns a house, Canada is not your place right now. Worst of all is the culture, highly highly introverted in a bad way, cold people, bad social skills, boring conversations and everyone seems to be high on weed. I am glad you have found something to do as a hobby but if you were in the USA you would have 4X the disposable income (and I think we all would still be complaining).

As a Canadian, I would not move to the states. But that being said I would love to spend a lot more time visiting state side. My GF is a US citizen but she want to move here to Canada while her children want to stay state side.

i feel sorry for anyone who is in such a desperate situation that they chose to come to Canada. no one in their right mind would want to live in this forsaken place

I would not want to live in those cold winters anyway! I am enjoying the beautiful winter climate near Cabo. $500 for a 1 bedroom. If you are a digital nomad, it is a no brainer to leave that clusterfck. Coming from the U.S., I do not conceive of not having the independence of my own vehicle. Public transportation is for poor people.

It is not easy to become a Canadian citizen. It would be truly unfortunate. If an immigrant went there worked hard to become a citizen and then later become disgruntled and want to leave. I’m sure it’s expensive to live there, but I’m sure that there are ups and downs to every country that we can go to.

If you move away from your home country, it takes half the time of your actual age to understand, & get used to the country you move into. \n1) Ikea also offers assembly service for which you have to pay. \n2) home owner/landlord didn’t improve noise isolation issue of their floorings. It’s normal practice of most lazy landlords who only rents their basement for reducing their mortgage cost. Or probably didn’t even know that it is doable.\n3) Employment- I am glad to see you found a skilled workplace somewhat related to your career. If you had to go through odd jobs, you would have left Canada within a month. \n4) Hospitals- Indian Government hospitals works the same way. Priorities go to life threatening patients first. But as an ex-Indian, we love spending arms and legs of money. Our loved ones survive going in private hospitals without insurance. \n5) socializing & jokes- I think you should’ve moved to Brampton so you can be part of the ghettoized community we have created there. so what day by day their crime rates are going high, we can at least understand the joke we can laugh on there. And there is no home sickness feeling.\n6) Weed!! - India has legalized alcohol, tobacco consumption. It does not mean anyone can go buy this. Even to buy legal weed in Canada you have to show your ID. At least that process is followed properly here.\n7) Vegetarian- if you want to follow a diet like this, all you have to request the restaurant to swap the meat with either potato hashbrowns, or if they have soya bean patties. \n8) Struggle- struggle is part of life. There is no requirement of whining about it. What do you need to be concerned is that you are getting an opportunity to go ahead, if you can’t get that that’s an issue. \n\nAnyways , I’m glad you made a video regarding your point of view on leaving Canada. Maybe you are not ready to mentally grow yourself being around people with different community and cultures & co-exist.

Nice content, loved your English. As an immigrant myself and being Asian living in Canada, I literally didn’t have any big dreams when I decided to move to Canada. But only expectation I had was people would be more friendly, educated and so on, and I didn’t noticed that much about(i won’t like to call it racism) but the way local see and behave the other different countries people but now after living here for couple of years I can so easily see how the local treat you, behave you. That’s my biggest disappointment. It might be just my prospective or the phase that im going through and so on. But just wanted to share. Again i know I’m not the first or only person who felt it. And yes I know the local very closely too and how and why they feel that. Some of the immigrants aren’t respecting the rules, tradition or so on here. Well i guess it is what it is. \nJust wanted to share my experience. \nAnd I myself been thinking about leaving Canada for good too and I totally agree with your points. \nHopefully at least housing and rent goes down.

Because the Liberals and Conservatives don't care about regular Canadians or foreigners, they care about business owners who want cheap, desperate, workers who are held captive by deportation laws, not entitled to health care, and are forced to work in terrible conditions, which would make the average Canadian quit or form a union.

They come to they're own doom.\nTheres no where for immigrants to live.\nThey would be crazy to want to come here to Canada now.

Not only housing, but our Healthcare. It's so expensive to live here now, why would you want to come here? Nobody's fault but our government. They don't care about people they only care about their pockets! I've thought about leaving Canada and I was born here. Pretty sad.

if working Canadians are living in tent cities why would we want homeless immigrants to add to the problem?

According to the Liberals that would mean 75% of Canadians are racist. I wonder how many other names they'll call us for pointing out basic facts. We're already right wing extremists for not wanting the carbon tax or affordable housing.

I call BS on that. All this immigration and I still can't find a decent woman? If it is so bad, I can alleviate the part where there are single women looking for a place to stay, a few times over. Want to start a family, beam me up. I'm a strong worker, biblically inclined - a pious man, our children would not require schooling because I am smarter than public school teachers by a long shot but I am not a money worshiper; that is what Canadian women want, tall with money; hoping to find a different heart from another nation; one that is not corrupt with dogs and tattoos.

As a white person whose ancestors are from Europe I can tell you most racist white Canadians are spoiled brats. They dont know anything about how the governement works or how if we stopped taking in immigrants our entire economy would collapse. I say we should deport any white racist agitators back to where their ancestors are from. Make room for non idiots and people who undertand reality and want peace.

I would never understand why people would want to live in a country where its freezing 6 months per year

If I want to apply from inside Canada as an international student would I still need WES evaluation? And what about work experience would I need my work reference letter?

Hello ma’am,\nCan I apply for a master's degree that lasts for two years and get a work permit for three years, enabling me to apply for PR?\nI really don’t know how it works, but I’m so confused at this moment. I have been in the UK for over 6 years, and I haven’t gotten anything yet. I wish to move to Canada, but I don’t want to make a wrong move that I would regret later on in life.\n\nWhat province would you recommend ma’am?

Are you guys blaming immigrants for your problems? Ok, so they do. But: who's going to do all those supposed job openings they leave behind, all those dirty, low status low salary laborious jobs y'all would never want to do? \nOutside of those highly trained emigrants, who will replace the farm workers, the slaughterhouse workers, the general labourers..you?
