You're so beautiful you deserve to live like a queen <3 like in Dubai

Mainstream media news in Canada this is how you report the news in Canada by contradicting everything that the Liberal politicians in Canada say about Canada. Take a lesson from Harrison on how to report accurate and truthful information to the Canadian public. A Canadian family I have been following on YouTube left Canada with all their 8 children to escape Justin Trudeau's tyranny in Canada, and so they move to Russia ?? This Canadian family wanted their children to be educated in the Canadian public school system but unfortunately for them the Trudeau Liberal government wanted the children be indoctrinated into the LGBT lifestyle in Canada by forcing pornographic books to the students and other materials. Teaching children about the drag queen lifestyle in Canada and so on. When you have to move your whole family thousands of miles away in another to get away from all this craziness in Canada. And Russia ?? is not like the West media paints out the Russians to be. And this Canadian family gets to hold on to their Christian ✝️ beliefs and values. Can we do that in Canada without getting criticized for it ? NO ! Because the Trudeau Liberal government is anti-Christianity bigots. Freedom exists in Russia it does not in Canada, and the New Bill C-63 is proof that. Russia doesn't have that Bill C-63 over there forced on the Russian citizens. Not even Stephen Harper would have done something like that. Only a dictator tyrant like Justin Trudeau would do something like that.

What we need is insensitive from the Canadian government to train real Canadian and native Canadians we also more government insensitive for young Canadians to have more babies and affordable housing and food \nWhy this country is failing because we have a woke government queen Trudeau is a disgusting human being and should be jailed for corrupt and legacy media should stop the Trudeau propaganda they are responsible for helping Trudeau destroy and divide this country I call that election interference

In the past 2 years - I have spent 3 months in Toronto, and last year, 3 months in Montreal...and it is like the Tale of Two Cities! In Toronto, I stayed at a friend's off the park that abuts Queens St, and Dundas St. on the far side. I barely got a good night's sleep - from the constant wailing of Sirens at ALL Hours of the night/early morning! I witnessed several incidents of random violence - including on the trolly cars, and many of them involving homeless Indigenous people ...who were historically shit-on by Canada! In comparison to US Cities - Toronto minded me of problem-plagued SF, Seattle, and Portland. The Density factor reminded me of NYC, minus the Positive Street savvy that New Yorkers have in spades! I did meet some very nice people, but overall - Torontonians were uptight, concerned about money all the time, and sometimes - just downright rude! Fast-Forward to Montreal. I stayed in Le Plateau...renting a room for 3 months. Lovely House-mates - One Turkish/Polish Woman, and an Iranian Man - both were quirky, and Delightful! My rent was very decent, and my Host showed me all the affordable places to eat, swim for free, free Yoga in the parks...within 2 days, I felt at Home! It was 3 days before I even noticed a siren! Drivers stoped for pedestrians, and as it was summer - the bike-lanes were full of bike riders! The Green Spaces were plentiful, and Parc Mount Royal is a Terrestrial Paradise! Were there some social issues? - of Course! French being the official language, the Quebecois are a VERY Proud, and defiant lot! That was difficult at first, and then...learning some history of Quebec, you begin to understand their irascible defenses! There was some homelessness (a Fraction of what I see in the US, and Toronto!), and prices are creeping-up (the common complaint!), and there was a lot of construction, and road repairs - as Quebec is NOT a wealthy part of Canada, overall. In short - I miss Montreal DEEPLY! Toronto? - I have a good friend there, and I hope to see a few of the folks I met there, Again. Travel Impressions are mainly subjective, but I know where my heart, and affection lie!

I watched until you bashed drag queens. Essentially what you want is to move to a country that is less tolerant. Got it. Bye

The man interviewed at the end is why our son left the country for Europe after graduating from Queens. Canadians are addicted to immigration to stay relevant in a way not seen in other countries. There's a smug quality to it all. Oh how wonderful and accepting are we - in contrast to those Trump people to the south. Here in Halifax the changes are both stunning and alienating as the premier seeks to double the province's population by 2060. My family and I immigrated from the U.S. 20 years ago, and I doubt any of us will remain here much longer. Living in Canada has made me realize how Canadian I am not. I actually stand for something. Canada's future is mass immigration and digging things out of the ground and selling them to China and the US.

This guy was awesome as the singer in the band Queen.

Why would the passenger infront would have complained against her without any reason at the forst place! I am sure that unruly daughter must have done something wrong. \nAnd the way she is shouting, it is evident, she must have been a drama queen growing up where she had her father to back up all her unruly behaviour

Queen Romana is LEGIT btw,....just saying.

drag queen storytime. I wouldn't go to it or bring my kids, but nobody has forced that on you. Its not indoctrination. Religion is the biggest indoctrination tool. Are you saying you want to stop other people who want to do that and see that from being able to do it? Thats wacky. Thats not you do you and I'll do me. Thats far from it.

The coldest City in Canada would be Thompson if it is still Registered as a City. Queen Elizabeth flew into Thompson in 1967 and declared it a City. At the time Thompson had a Population of 25000 . From there they had a Motorcade go through The Pas,Swan River,Dauphin and on to Winnipeg.

Canada isn't even a real country. They have the queen of england on their money!

Every word is specious. Love from a teaching fellow on the front lines at Queen's.

It's not like universities don't make enough money, it's the administrative bloat. Just look at Queens U.

Yes!!!! I was in lecture halls filled with International students, not many Canadians in some of them, that was 2009-2010. And immigration, plus International students coming in more than ever. \nMy son in law said over 50% in his classes at Queens were International students. There were big efforts to recruit more from India. \nImmigration itself, is also out of control. We need a moratorium until we can catch up with infrastructure and homes for those who piled in by the millions this past decade.

Learn from the Queen, students need to stay and show why they need to behave in Canada.

I understand your concern for your daughters, but how do you expect them to accept people different from themselves if you don't show them how, you're telling them that drag queens are bad and that the whole LGBTQIA2+ society is bad, look who's talking about a society of prejudice.

US family here. We were a big downhill skiing family, and often spent our winter vacations in the Laurentians. The exchange rate was great back in the 1990s and early 2000s. So when the time came to start looking at colleges, our daughter already associated Canada with fun, and fell in love with the University of Toronto. She was accepted. But before Canada would issue her a student visa, we had to provide evidence that we could pay full tuition, room, and board out of pocket. For all four years! They wanted an iron guarantee that she would never become a ‘ward of the state’ or consume public assistance services. We had to jump through soooo many logistical hoops for her to attend, it was exhausting to facilitate. But she graduated with honors in four years. All that time, the city was beautiful, clean, and vibrant, though not inexpensive. The St. George main campus, Queen’s Park, Bloor, Yongue Street, more. Everyone we met was friendly and respectful. We very rarely saw homeless and never tent communities. And crime seemed almost nonexistent except for bicycle thefts. Our daughter made many international friends and forged great relationships she carries to this day. So many wonderful memories. So it’s heartbreaking to hear how downhill the city has become. And the US is no different. It’s all in the politics, and neither Trudeau’s nor Biden’s policies are helping.

You should have gone to Afghanistan they would treat you like a queen of India ???

Mixed feelings. Drag queens and woke propaganda in Canada will have to stop. But it will be great to see that Canada remains a predominantly Christian country

I understood the arguments into you got into the “indoctrination” and mentioned drag queens. It’s an intolerant attitude. It’s actually progress - all people having equal rights. Equity for all. Being religious, Muslim, Christian, whatever doesn’t mean that your values should be the ones that we all have to live by.

Canada is a multicultural country. Not a Muslim one. You might want to cut that out. \nDrag queens. Really? You want people to accept everything Muslim, but you have a problem with drag queens. The school system. The people....who you want to accept you. Have a safe trip. Don't forget your friends and please!!! For the love of your God! Don't start screaming for the help of Canada when you are in trouble!

What is wrong with a drag queen? You also dress up the way you want................

As a non Muslim I found the call to prayer 5 times a day unnerving in Muslim countries I have visited. \n\nI love drag queens reading books to kids :-)

As a Torontonian born and raised here it’s had a couple shifts in feel over the past decades. Around the mid 90s, there was an increase of gun violence, crime and theft in the city which caused my family to move out to the burbs. I moved back during the 2009 recession for higher education at one of the institutions downtown. At that time, there wasn’t much violence at all. We went out til the wee hours of the morning from Fashion district (Queen and Richmond) to Honest Eds (Bathurst and Bloor), to Yonge and Dundas square. There were still some homeless people then, but fast forward to now, it’s gotten aggressive. Instead of the homeless people keeping in their camps, but now, they have been displaced, are angry, mental health issues are rampant and incidents can happen anywhere. I think we have the right mayor in place now to make some positive changes for the social issues in the city and I am optimistic that we can get it cleaned up over time. For now though, I agree with the sentiment, come for a visit, but maybe skip out on living here until the social issues get sorted. You always have to keep an eye on the back of your head these days.

Vote for a better king and queen ?

It's hard to reconcile your words about live and let live w/ur discomfort with drag queens or a Jewish homeland. Still best of luck with your move, wherever you settle. It seems a Muslim majority country would be more compatible 4u than another liberal western democracy.

Nor do practicing Christians feel free or safe, especially with the forcing of the Drag Queen and other LGBT projects into schools and other public places. Your story is relatable.

I am a Canadian and I don’t want to see my grandchildren that dry queen shows but also if you’re unhappy here in Canada, because your religion is not widespread all through our country, then yes by all means pack up and leave we are not going to change our culture for you

I was 100% behind you on every point until you mentioned drag queen story hour. Thats when you guys turned me off. Are you afraid of drag queens? If you don't like drag queen story hour then don't send your kids there. That's seriously one of the reasons you want to leave Canada?

Good luck finding the Islamic theocracy where you will be comfortable and sorry drag queens scare you. We are fighting here in the US to keep us secular.

I wish i could muslim country too and enjoy all the privileges i have. I am a a Queer muslim and it was not easy. I am very appreciative of the opportunity that is given to me in the west and not being judged at a work place how i may appear. I am glad you made this video and making the best decision for your family. Even as queer peeson i am supporting drag queen story tiem but you made it sound like it is happening every library and every where. I only read it in news paper and never actually saw it in reality. Leaving Canada doesn't do anything for supporting for Palestinians. You could have used your voice and voting power in support of Palestinians. I do understand it may be best for your children. Again i wish i had what you have.

Well we believe Surah 5 Verse 32, and that is a recipe for concern. Although i agree with you, the drag queen thing is bad.

For parents that dont want drags queens reading to kids why dont they take that day off or take they kids to they jobs have kids miss one day of school

I agree that drag queens should not be in schools for kids readings... Its too adult like dressing for kids

Where are you moving to? Everywhere warm and by the sea, in the usa, has drag-queen story time and needles in the playgrounds. ?

Don’t really understand why you find drag queens so threatening. Can’t say I quite understand it myself but a man who embraces his feminine side is not harming anyone else. Heck ! The ones at the library are educating our kids!

If you have a problem with drag queen story time, then don't watch it? It isn't indoctrination; it is freedom of speech and freedom to educate yourself. It's their freedom to do it; it is your freedom to not support it. Western society is democratic.

Ooooh I seee, it’s because of the drag queens.\nGeez… ok go, whatever. I once subscribed to your channel, go figure.

That’s hypocritical to say that you don’t want your kids to see Drag Queen but don’t want to be judged dressing like a Muslim … what I don’t like about religion is religious people normalise homophobia…. What about we just accept people for what they are …

Drag queen story hour shouldn't be your reason to run away from Canada lol. May be read LGBT history. Watch a season or 2 of RuPauls drag race to understand our community better.

ahhahaahah a drag queen story at the mall or the library, that's the cherry on western civilization rn, they LGTBQ'D themselves and want to drag everyone else into it

I am not a Muslim and was born and raised in America but I see many of the same problems here that you listed. The indoctrination of children, the drag queen story hours, the drugs, the inflation, the downfall of society. I don’t know where it’s better b/c these seem to be world wide problems. I wish your family the best in finding your new home.

As an atheist I wish you all the best, it's true the political games destroying the West from within. Though I'm on the side of LGBT and i believe that they should have rights like everyone else, at the same time I understand that some extreme ideologies can go and push so far and I agree that let kids be kids. My only concern is that Islamic countries do not have any rights for LGBT people at all, in fact, they are being prosecuted based on religion since religion is basically the law. I guess only time will tell if you made the right choice, I can not recommend any country this is something that you need to research deeply and make a decision for yourself.\nI'm in British Columbia, and my child had never experienced any drug queen library stories or anything like that, nor did teachers teach them anything without our consent, there is full transparency between teachers and parents.\nAt the same time, I'm just like you disproving collective punishment of Palestinian citizens, the atrocities are sickening and I couldn't believe that the United Nations is tiptoeing and not being proactive in defending Palestinian children, it's just unthinkable to me that it's happening in the 21st Century.

ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT ONTARIO CANADA OR SOMEWHERE IN AMERICA, DRAG QUEEN STORY HOUR ,I THOUGHT THAT WAS ONLY IN AMERICA.

I am so disappointed to hear the judgement of drag queen story hour, even in the capacity as it is something that would not even want your kids to know exists. Talk about intolerance.

1978: Buddies and I walked the streets of Toronto all night - no problems.\n2016: The cab I was in was attacked on Queen St. East by a bunch of drugged out meth heads.\nToronto went from 'Toronto the Good' to an absolute sh1thole.

wow..... leaving country because of drag queens. I'm speechless

I don’t think we need to worry about drag queens ruining society. The government is doing a good enough job of that ?

can i just say how much i AGREE on the drag queens and not wanting our future kids or children to understand? i grew up in a Russian family and we never knew about drags or lgbtq until i was 13. i fear for my future as a young women and my future kids. i fear for my baby sister.
