Canada is not a good country to live in, there are many better options today, as shown by the number of Canadians leaving. You will basically live to pay taxes for a corrupt govt and you will not be free to choose the life you want. You are a lot better of in any country in Europe, like Spain, Italy or even Denmark, also better off in Asia, like in Malaysia or the Philippines, and even in South America, like in Argentina or Paraguay.\nMost Canadians ignore that Canada is bankrupt and collapsed, but it's getting worse and it will be too late when they do. Good luck to everyone coming or staying.

One year ago i moved to germany from Italy as a doctor and i already wanna leave. Because the taxes are very high half of my salary goes to the state and the service quality is relatively bad for everything i need an appointment and wait for weeks to get it done.more problematic is the discrimination. Even tho my qualifications are higher than an average german doctor i dont get treated equally i dont get what my colleges get. So overall its a disappointment for me and i m looking for my next country ?any suggestions?

I can recommend you to reside in one of EU countries. It is far more convenient and proper to maintain the living circumstances and standards. A part of the domestic inhabitants and people have also abandoned Canada due to the cost of living, paying substantial amount of taxes and healthcare segment. Those are the largest complexities of the country. It stems from these reasons in order to leave Canada. Those indigenious inhabitants of Canada commonly choose to relocate in UK, Germany and France, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria and Spain. A vast change eventuates in the whole world with the new immigration waves. The living conditions are modifying, the orders are also reshaping and the paradigms are altering. It comprises a large transformation within this process.

We've had the USA madly printing money which stokes inflation as well as predatory global corporate cartels using covid as an excuse to collude on raising prices and boosting corporate profits. Then we have US and British corporations using countries like Canada and Australia as cheap mine sites. Finally, we have the property Ponzi scheme which keeps housing out of the reach of young people. In both Canada and Australia, the birth rate has fallen because young people cannot afford to have kids. Both countries maintain their population level via immigration but that con is now falling apart because migrants can see that the game is rigged. Canada and Australia both produce a huge amount of wealth but it doesn't flow to young folks. Old folks who have fat investment portfolios don't want to rock the boat but, by their inaction, they're throwing their country's future under the bus. It's no mystery as to where this path leads. Just take a look at the catastrophically low birth rate in South Korea. Look at Italy with its falling population.

Hello sweetheart Alina, ❤ I move to Italy from Hawaii . If you like Canada than you have to deal with your own problems ?

Come and live in Istanbul Turkey dear Alina Mcleod. As you have got canadian passport, you can visa free visit Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova, İtaly and beyond visa free. İt is impossible to observe any opium users on the streets of Istanbul, you cannot see any prostitutes in Istanbul. Best places to settle in Istanbul are Maltepe district, nearby luxury hotels with swimming pools, in world financial center in Ümraniye nearby Turkish central bank headquarters and Ziraat Bank headquarters. Bağdad Street, Caddesostan is another best place. 4th Levent district, Florya district, Beylikduzu districts are other best options to settle. You can get pension wage from Turkey, if you work 20 years time. No age restrictions imposed.

I'm from Texas. As a young fool I married a Canadian woman in 79. I'm a military man, army strong. So, many deployments all over the world. Oh, wife was also military, Canadian military. Our time together was limited. She left the military in 1990, got sick with cancer in 93, died in 93. I moved to Canada then, to be with the kids. Kids grew up, and I moved away. I recently returned to Canada after roughly 30 years away. I'm also leaving. I can't stand this place. And I've learned that the insanity in Canada is worldwide. I don't recognize the UK, Italy, Poland, Germany. Everything has changed. Right now I'm in Texas panhandle, on the ranch my father and his father ran. Thousands of acres, horses and cattle and dogs. I almost never see the neighbors. I love it.

The reason I am considering leaving is very simple. When I came in 2001, the wages were competitive, and the cost of living was low. Now the wages didn't move, but the cost of living sky-rocketed, and the cost of buying a home also sky-rocketed, to the point where I will likely never be able to afford it. I may move back to Denmark, or to Italy, but I will not stay in Germany in the long run, the governments (several of them, through time) have forgotten about the people, and are catering to the rich and to large companies.

I currently am considering Germany as work in Canada is horrible for medical educated personnel. Was looking at Italy, Spain, Poland, and Sweden. Canada is hitting me up for a lot of taxes Federal , Provincial, and Municipal. I also am taxed by the USA for taxes for my real estate holdings, and get taxed by Canada for homes I inherited from my elderly uncle’s. I literally rent my homes to my cousins in Tacoma and Kansas as rental rates are unaffordable. I see house values go up but taxes are there to make it impossible to support the valuation. But enough about my tax problems, I hope you can take your journey over there and report what it’s really like?

Italy?

Weather and social fabric are as important as salary when it comes to happiness.\nWhat about France, Italy or Portugal? I imagine they will be a better choice all things considered.

most place in the European part of Southern Europe is a fairly safe bet for you to live in. some areas of Italy such as Naples have a high crime wave but there are also a lot of safer areas in Europe such as parts of Portugal, a lot of the Greek Islands and some quieter parts of Italy. parts of the South of France are also nice but perhaps expensive.

These people bring incompatible values with our european culture. They view women and LGBT and christianity MUCH more negatively than us. They also do not speak Greek, Italian, French or German.... they are also known to have more children than us... long story short: they will replace us (native European population) if we keep on letting them in. They also rarely have qualifications and degrees. So in a way they will not fund our pensions as (at least in Italy) most of them are drug dealers which corrupt our dwindling young population...

When they talk about immigration, they always look at the colored immigrants as the culprit, but the data shows that the majority of it is from Europe. UK, German, Poland and Italy.

Some of my family came from Baden-württemberg. Germany seems good. Hungary, estonia, Russia, Britain, Poland, Italy, France, Spain, Greece, bulgaria, Romania, Sweden, Norway, denmark, finland, Netherlands, Belgium.

Just a few days ago, I watched a series comparing houses and apartments across Canada, with literal castles in Italy, Switzerland, France, Spain, etc. It's insane. Some of the houses compared were CONDEMNED, and were still worth a decent castle.

The illegal refugees are destroying Europe, especially Italy… it’s so bad there..

UAE minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al-Nahyan said “The voices we hear calling for murder and shedding blood and stealing the wealth of people are in London, Germany, Spain and Italy.\n“There will come a day when we see far more radicals, extremists and terrorists coming from Europe because of (a) lack of decision-making, and trying to be politically correct”.

For the same reasons in the UK, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Sweden, Germany, Italy, Greece, Turkey... you want more, leftie lovers?

Why is anti-immigration sentiment on the rise in ... x?\nx = Canada, Britain, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland, Portugal, Greece, ...

As a Spaniard the EU is a lie! It's time for Spain Italy France and Germany to rethink the EU!

1:31 as a german citizen, i laughed how they were using italy just as a bridge and didnt even wanna try it there

Italy is losing population...so give them villages which r abandoned... immigrants will create economy... don't worry

Make no mistake. Canada is not the US or Georgia Meloni's Italy. The sense that the immigration of the last half century has been overwhelmingly positive for the country is widespread outside of a few predictable nativist Anglo enclaves. The key problem is the disconnect between the demands of employers and the labour market situation on one hand, and housing on the other. The national and provincial governments abandoned any involvement in housing beyond zoning issues in the 1970s. The provision of affordable housing can never be done by private developers alone with our subsidies or coordination with the state. There are simply too many problems of market failure. Instead what they can provide is more and more higher-end housing. The national government has never connected the various aspects of immigration so that now Canada's largest cities simply cannot cope with the number of incoming migrants.

It’s not anti immigration it’s anti to much immigration and anti immigration of the right people that goes there’s a reason the UK is rioting most people in Canada feel this way massive movements in France Germany Italy Spain US Netherlands Sweden the list goes on Globalist governments are pushing their agenda upon their populations and now they are pushing back and in small minority of cases it’ll get violent

It is wrong to say an Indian is crossing Canadian Us border. Unscrupulous elements spread everywhere else viz. UK, France, Italy etc are well known for their religion and motives. Using Indian name is just to divert the attention and defame Indians. Look at his true credentials then you will come to know. Don’t jump into one random conclusion without a proof. Jai SriRam.???

Lots of immigrants ( special students gave $30 billion to Canada education system) and cheap labour for business, helped Canada, not to get in recession after covid. But, it is a temporary solution. . ....Canada is next Italy or Greece...

Yall know immigrants was everywhere in new york back in the 60s-80s they was coming from italy,albany,the dominican and peurto rico countries etc

Feels just like Italy, if not even worse somehow

? The visions are stunning – and startling. And, Canada – we’ve got news for you! Our country was ranked fifth most attractive in the world, beating out Brazil, France and Italy.

Hi Febby, stumbled upon your video and wanted to know your experience in Canada. As someone who was born in Canada and left, I wanted to know about some current sentiment, especially by younger people. I think you had some interesting information. I'm actually sad to hear that crime and homelessness has gotten even worse, especially in places like you mentioned, DTES. One thing I want to share with you about the housing issue. Canada acts like a Federation. Meaning that a lot of decision making is delegated to the provincial and municipal level. Yes, Canada has goals for immigration. That's a super valid goal because every developed country is going through declining birth rates. Canada wants to lessen the damage that will be felt by so many other countries like Italy, Germany, China, Japan, etc. The issue with this federated government is like you said, a disconnect between goals and readiness. However, I really feel this will never be accomplishable because of all the lobbying that occurs at the municipal level that the Federal and even Provincial level government cannot control. Yes, there may be shortages in labour to do development, but even then, I really think that lobbying and corruption is keeping adequate supply from being built. From the homeowners and the perspective of the wealthy property owners, they want to keep the valuation of housing high by keeping supply low. Why else is the municipal government keeping such archaic zoning laws? From what I could find, there has been some talk about changing this (https://bc.ctvnews.ca/b-c-to-table-housing-law-targeting-outdated-zoning-rules-1.6627260) but I struggle to see anything really being done. That's probably because of lobbying. The immigration laws set by the government had too many loopholes and flaws ultimately. I don't think we are getting enough productive immigrants. Actually, the opposite seems to occur a lot. The wealthy from the countries I mentioned are abusing the immigration policies in Canada to transfer and preserve their wealth in Canada. I think it has hid in plain sight for a long time, and people have started talked about it in the last 5-10 years because of the struggles of housing affordability from the middle class. What about the immigrants that really want to start a life in Canada and find opportunities like you said? The housing is too expensive for them to do that. Really chicken and egg problem like you mentioned. And this issue can't readily be fixed with the way Canadian government operates. Look forward to hearing your thoughts. I hope you make an update video in the future.

Although I'm American, I can't name a single Canadian company, though I can name several from China, Japan, Germany, the UK, Italy, and France. Canadian businesses don't try as hard to compete globally, but instead provide products and services within Canada. Many industries there are dominated by just one company. Businesses in many verticals keep prices artificially high to satisfy their executives' greed and mental inertia. Many companies focus on extracting the vast land's natural resources rather than developing new technologies. Canada needs to modernize.

I am one of the persons(Punjabi and International Student) being talked about in this video. Please allow me to get express some things. \n\nFirst, our homeland was divided into two, one part went to Muslims(Pakistan) and one went to Hindus(India). If we talk about our own state, we are labelled as terrorists. Recently, a 21 year old protester(Google the name Shubhkarman) was shot at by the police and nobody was held accountable. Over 700 people died, in 2021, on the streets of Delhi while protesting for a year to stop corporate buyouts of our agriculture lands(these lands are not 100-200 acre like in West, average land holding by Punjabi farmers is 2.4 acre). Our parents want us to survive, so they send at least one kid to foreign land(Australia, NZ, Canada, US, Dubai, Malaysia, Italy, you name a country).\n\nIndians call us terrorists, westerners call us cheap unskilled labour and some even call us shit skinned, pajeets, diaperheads. \n\nI guess we are just sub-humans who have no rights.

What a racist language used sometimes. What do you mean by towns not looking very Canadian? The only deal Canadian town will be where aboriginal Inuit people live. Rest all towns no matter if the people came from Italy, Ireland, England, Poland, Germany , France or any other part of the world. The guys presenting this video must have been 2nd or 3rd generation of an immigrant. Buddy if your ship arrived 75 years ago this doesn’t mean you are Canadian. You are next generation of an immigrant. That’s same as Indians.

I think what Canada needs to adopt it’s a quota on the number of immigrants coming in from each country. Open it to everyone based on the same point system we have now, and once’s those openings are full for India, Italy, Thailand etc… that’s it you’d have to wait till next year that the quota opens again. This will allow a more diverse immigration and minimize the xenophobia that come with having huge numbers coming in from only one region

Harrison Faulkner keep doing what you are doing. Go to little Italy and ask them how immigration today is different from when their parents, grand parents immigrated. Culture was brought in and shared. There is no culture coming in now. Only promises of an endless political career at the cost of the Canadian Identity.

The difference between modern mass immigration and immigration of the past is so stark. My great grandfather came over fleeing fascist Italy and built a tile and terrazzo business on blood, sweat and tears. It has employed members of my family the last 4 generations alongside 100's of other employees the past 75 years. They have paid millions in taxes and helped build up the community in a literal and metaphoric sense. \n\nToday, most immigrants are allowed entry to boost profit margins in academia while offering little in terms of viable skills outside of the service industry. What a sad state of affairs.

This is not about only Indians overwhelmingly overpowering Brampton. You may call this town Mini-India based on your biased perceptions. Peoples looking alike, culturally and socially similar, speaking the same languages feeing safe, comfortable and less challenged and have tendacies to reside together in the same geographical locations.. This applies to all the communities. and this phenomenon exists all over the world. We have little Italies, Chinatowns, Mini Russias, Polands, Ukrains, Irelands, Scotlands, Mexicos flourishing in USA, Europe, Australia and Canada is no different. Our govts need to make deliberate efforts to plan the towns to make more them multi-cultural.

I certainly would not pick the USA. There are way better options especially for retirees. Thailand, Philippines, Panama, Costa Rica. Ecuador... Even Portugal or Italy would be a better choice.

Try over seas Italy or Spain or better Portugal

The question is this … how are the Brampton residents contributing to the economy? Are they homeless ? Are they unemployed ? If not quit the line of questioning . In an earlier period there were communities of many European nations everywhere . Greek town , little Italy , Irish communities etc. Also Many China towns across the country . I get it the Brampton residents are simply of the wrong colour. But racism is passé .

So .... Israeli claims it is bombing mistake & so then Israeli agree the Italy,German,Korean , Japan , British , Russia, Portugal,Spain,France & other countries also can do same action by same mistake to bombing TEL AVIV & ISRAELIAN area also.????????

So basically the differences are minor. No wonder many foreigners think of Canada as US 2.0. Because if you need to differentiate Italy from Austria, the difference is obvious: different language, different culture, different architecture, different traditions. You won’t see that in US and Canada. And no one cares what forms of government these countries have. That’s not what makes you a distinct nation. No one thinks of Italy as Italy because of its government, lol.

My child learns maths and other subjects in class 1, 2 in Italy in class 4/5 in England. We shift to England because of the disadvantages in Italy and Canada are almost the same. But Italian weather was nice .There we found articles of daily use, but at high prices, which are easily available in England. Italy and Canada are similar in terms of those disadvantages.?

I've lived in Canada, Metro Vancouver area, back in 2017...it was already a bloodbath, now I see it's even worse. \n \nI ran away and returned to Italy after 8 months, after I discovered I had to skip meals in order to survive, something I've never experienced here in my country as a former low income citizen. Never had a single regret.

Smart people welcome the rise of China and India and embrace globalization and the the internet. Ignorant people complain.\nLook at South Korea, Japan, Italy who don’t have enough day to day workforce, declining population growth and are begging for immigrants to come into their countries.

Honestly white Canadians should have had more babies. A country needs immigration when birth rates are low so white people with no kids or just 1 should not complain that much and can't only blame the government for this mess. Blame yourselves as well.Look at Italy and Korea with be in a mess soon.

Muslims are not happy in the Gaza or Iran. They're not happy in Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria, Pakistan, Lebanon and Bahrain.\nWhere they feel happy?\nMuslims are happy in Australia. They're feeling happy in the UK, France, Italy and Germany. They are happy in Sweden, United-States, Norway and all other non-Muslim countries.\nWho they blame their sadness on?\nThey blame it neither on Islam nor their Muslim leaders and not themselves.\nThey blame it on the countries in which they feel happy, and they want to change those countries to be more like their own countries where they were not happy at the first place

This is happening everyway around the world. Happening in Australia, Malta, Italy, France, New Zealand.\nStop the greedy politicians do this.

Okk.. but what the fu*k are you trying to show..Go to little Italy in Downtown and show that there are more Italians in the area..you are racist in disguise
