I'll get slammed for this, but, look, history is history and you can't change it. Back in the mid-20th century, the peoples of central Africa and North Africa fought ferocious guerrilla and insurrectionist wars to eject the hated white man colonizers who came in a century prior and took their land. Understood. Got it. The insurrectionists and guerillas were fervent they could run their own countries more efficiently and with more compassion than the white man. Got it. The African insurrectionists got meaner, resorting to terrorism, kidnapping, torture, brutal murder, planting explosives in shops and restaurants, mounting hit-and-run submachine attacks day and night on the populace, white and black and north African. Don't believe me, look up the old news films from the period.\n The insurgents, insurrectionists, revolutionaries, guerillas, partisans, and outright terrorists succeeded. White man gone. Fast forward to the 21st century. What do you see? Failed nation states. Lack of social and economic stability. Countries still with poor hygienic standards and low medical care. Famine. Hunger. High unemployment.\n What happened? Mostly....corruption, aggravated by increasing drought conditions over the past seventy years.\n What do you see today? Descendents of those once ferocious revolutionaries and insurgents who were willing to sacrifice their lives resorting to terrorism and murder, now risking life and limb by jumping into rickety boats to cross stormy seas and enter the countries of their former European oppressors. France and Italy are among the most astonished of all. \n Canada was not a colonial power yet look at all the migrants from Africa, desperately seeking a better life. Their forebearers promised far better than their European occupiers but delivered even less because everybody has their hand in the till and is lining their pockets. When a visitor has to pay government employees bribes for them to do their jobs, you know you've visited a failed state. Bring up the subject of institutionalized and cultural widespread corruption and they get defensive and angry, still blaming everyone else for their own failures.\n One of the more common solutions over the past twenty years, accepting huge, high-interest loans from the Red Chinese government that they cannot repay, is now coming back to bite them in the keister.

You call this a its back? After 70-80 years of conflict? He refused to answer. He simply thinks that the conflict should magically end? He thinks the status quo of accepting radical Islam is a choice. It is not. You know what we did not hear on October 8th? We did not hear peaceful islamists leading by sending prayers, aid and support while denouncing the atrocity. The fact is that the Muslim faith promotes intolerance, hate, violence and murder of “others”.\n\n Arabs, Jews and Christians used to live among one another peacefully and celebrated their similat

Canada'a economy is a complete sellout. Sell companies, infrastructure to foreign countries. Give out PR visas to pump up real estate. Give out school acceptance to international students to greedy schools. Sell every natural resource to other countries while not supplying Canada itself.

My question is why you left home in first place and move to some other country and rag on them for accepting you

Very eloquent way to sidestep the question. Funny how western countries welcome so many from the arab world and they won’t even accept their own neighbours.

You can be disillusioned or you can just accept the facts. I know a guy who's family moved from Spain to Argentina when Spain had a downturn in their economy. Now he has moved BACK to Spain when Argentina's economy took a downturn. Iran was nice for women in the 70's, now not so much. Countries go up and down throughout time. BTW, The Liberals have ruined Canada. So please, if any viewer has ever voted for the Liberals, please leave Canada.

Strange ! No one speaks that path of terrorism against civilians chosen by the Palestinians is wrong. Two it’s a difficult World for everyone and everyone doesn’t get what they desire! So acceptance is the basic ingredient.

I happen to believe that what you speak is very true. Canada is accepting of all cultures and does welcome all communities/groups. However from my perspective we are not an overly religious society for the most part, so for cultures that are more religious this could create some discomfort and a feeling of being different and not fittting in. So its safe to say that Canada is a great country, but is not always the best choice for everyone. Best of luck and happines for your life journey.

I support your decision Hopefully many more Muslims will follow your lead as a non Muslim I lived in Saudi and couldn't accept Many of their rules and way of life and instead of being bitter and miserable I left and Never turned back so I offer you many blessings to your entire family

Well close borders to refugees and students. Those who have already applied to come here process them but do not accept anymore applucations until all these issues have been settled. The Scandinavians have done this why cant we. Im sorry that there are refugees in this world but we here in canada cannot help you. Our system here has collapsed. If you come here and have not alot of money you will best buy a tent and pitch it on the street. Mr Trudeau you can go ahead and resign.

I want to leave australia for exact reasons. I have 2 little girls. One day walking at the beach we saw a man with big belly walking around in very revealing bikini. I take my kids far away so they dont see him. Sad thing is no one notice him. People in west have lost the plot. Lost their head in the clouds. If they think thats acceptable i dont have to accept it. If your kids are not at school yet dont over plan it. Let Allah guide you. We are currenly in bali. And will travel malaysia turkey and egypt. We wanto worldschool our kids work online and have multiple bases ❤❤❤

Born and raised in canada it growing up i never saw open opiod use ..until it was presented by our governments as acceptable..again when it comes cost of living inflation is out of control due government over spending and money printing combined with over taxing...glad to see immigrants drawing to light there perspectives

I was born in Canada. I am now in Thailand. I worked 35 years for a large transportation organization. I am retired and loving living abroad. It is cold in Canada 6 months of the year. Climate change is creating massive forest wildfires every summer now creating horrid air quality issues especially in the west, which is the mist beautiful part of the country in my opinion. I traveled back for a couple of weeks in October 2023 and was in shock over the cost of everything especially considering the recent inflation problem affecting the entire world. I couldn't wait to het back to my life in Thailand. Here there is no racism that I can see. All races and religions are accepted here. I hardly ever wear pants, shorts and short sleeve shirts. I can golf 12 months a year and live very comfortably on my pension. I could not have the same quality of life in my home country and the medical industry makes care here very affordable and accessible. In B.C. I found it extremely difficult to find s family doctor after moving there even to get a comprehensive medical checkup. I love my country of origin but will never return as long as I have the choice. Canada is over taxed, over regulated and very expensive now. These are the facts that created my choice to emigrate.

I fully understand your decision and reasons for moving away from Canada. \nHowever, you could have expressed your choices and opinions on a forum meant for Muslims, who can benefit from it, or ask you questions. \nBy putting it in this platform and insulting the people of this country is very irresponsible. Or was that your intention! \nI as a Muslim am not given the right to demean any culture or religion. \nYou are so young right now. You may realize as you grow and learn that tolerance and acceptance of others as they are will bring you a lot of peace.

I live in ON with my 3 kids and my wife , God bless you guys I suggest UAE , They Accept all citizens

Good luck in Palestina or Yemen . Maybe Saudi Arabia can accept Muslim refugees..

yes, I think you are right, hate crimes of all communities are at an all time high. I hope you and your family find love and acceptance wherever you lay your heads. best of luck

I am completely blown away by your comments, We in Canada accept a lot of people, I am glad you found good reasons to leave, Safe travels

What he said was right. I support Israel's operations... But i would never require or force any arab country's or neighbor to accept refugees...\n\nNo country in their right mind would want to be flooded with a large number of refugees. Thats just crazy..

As a proud Canadian, I am delighted to see you embark on a journey to pursue your dreams. Wishing you the best of luck in any democratic Islamic country you choose to move to, where you can enjoy the freedom of speech and equal rights. Meanwhile, here in Canada, we remain committed to instilling values of tolerance and acceptance in our schools, addressing economic challenges such as inflation, and collectively working to propel this beautiful country forward.

The Arab world are not stupid like Europe. They will never accept them cos they know the plans.

Just a tip. Canada is not a Muslim country. Is any Muslim country in the world accepting of Christianity!?

Hello Seyi how are. I have just fill the IMM form and successfully validated but can't submit because it says errors were found. If the form was accepted by validation what could be the error again. The size is also 684kb with Adobe acrobat pdf document. Please I need your assistance

In other words, he's trying to say, Oh hell no, we nor any other Arab country will accept Palestinians in our Arab lands.

So he wont accept them or help them???

Do you want Canada to become an Islamic society? easier for you two to leave and go live in an sh*thole. that accepts your perfect culture. What about the discrimination aginst other cultures?

This is what multi culturalism brings. Cities only remain safe when you have a homogenous population. The second you begin importing millions of people with wildly different cultures and opinions on the optimal way to live and what behaviors are accepted in public, cities become garbage dumps.

You never hear of Muslims supporting Christians in the Muslim countries. Muslims never condemn atrocities against Christians in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Palestine or Pakistan. Saudi Arabia only accepts millions of Christians as foreign workers. Why? Yet they won't employ the millions of unemployed Muslim Arabs. That is why Europe is overrun with millions of Muslim refugees. I've heard many stories of Muslim parents relocating to Qatar or the UAE so their children can get an Islamic education. Then their children marry local Arabs and then move back to Western countries for financial reasons. Many of their offspring become radicalised against Western culture.

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 …

A loaded question. Israelis should be accepted as refugees by the powers who have disenfranchised the Palestinians in their own homeland. The Arabs have not displaced, marginalized and exterminated the Palestinians. Time has come for the Muslim world to unite if they are to survive because there is a constant crusade being waged against it.

No hate involved, but you seem surprised that there is no 'islamic environment' in a Western country.\nJust read that again. Maybe that's kinda.. normal? \nIf you want to be surrounded, I assume day by day, by an islamic environment, I think it's a very good idea to move to a place where that already exists. Because your want (or need) to be surrounded by a certain religion, is your want. Not the want of people and culture of a Western country.\n\nA few minutes further your say it yourself: You live your way of live and I live mine. \nThough this not mean 'I can do whatever I want in this place and culture'. \nCulture are places where certain believesystems, values and way of live are intertwined with eachother so people can actually live together. You can't expect a certain culture to just change it's core values to accept your core values so you can go on and live an islamic live in a place where certain values are at odds with those values. \n\nYou might think, 'well is that argument again - does a christian or a buddhist have enough space to do their thing in Islamic countries?' I would lik you to really ask yourself that question and try to answer it from a neutral standpoint.\n\nI sincerely hope this comment can be read without the standard 'oh just another rightwing islamic hater' response.\nPeace to you all.

Humanitarian aid meaning taxes from hard working people helping iran's weapon against Israel making more tunnels?\nOr how about nurturing the war between Palestine/Israel by keeping Palestinians where they are and cheering their refusal to accept the 4 peace treaties Israel gave them?\nAnd lets use this man's answer as a solution to most of the world's problems, let every troubled nation sort out their troubles instead of invading cultures that work through broken immigration/refugee policies. \nWin win for everyone right? \nArabs won't take refugees, neither should Western Nations.

Liberate Palestinians from Hamas' reign of terror. Are you in support terrorists, such as ISIS, Taliban (al-Qa’ida), Hezbollah? The people of Afghanistan are not thrilled by the ruling of the Taliban. Arab countries are join Hamas, Jordanian King Abdullah II says that neither his country nor Egypt will accept Palestinian refugees, declaring it a “red line.”

Canada tolerate Islam and people here can live their ways as soon they integrate. But most likely for Muslim people very hard to live by non-islamic laws and routine, so the best choice they have or finally accept the life around them, or to leave to Muslim country. It's up to you guys.

See the Arabs won’t even accept responsibility over their own people…yet in their rich countries they take in thousands of Indians, Pakistanis and others to build their projects. Only if they did that with their own people then Israel can exist and the Palestinians can have a home to live in aswell.

How rude to ask the land Owners to leave their lands to European refugees who were accepted by the Palestinians.

As a Canadian, born and raised, I am much more proud to be a Canadian than if I were to be a U.S. or U.K. citizen, given the way they are regarded in most of the word. I have travelled Europe extensively, Central America, as well as parts of SE Asia. \n\nCanada is indeed expensive and has become moreso because we too easily accept the rising prices, just so we can feel good being a Canadian. Tipping culture is ridiculous, even for bad service, many feel the need to tip 15% because of fear of being regarded as a cheapskate or avoiding offending the service provider. Companies should be paying their staff a better wage where 20%+ tips are not expected for every restaurant, cafe or delivery service. We're helping corporations make more profit by subsidizing their staffing expense. This isn't the case in most of the world. \n\nMy eyes were opened when I saw how you can live an equally good life at a third or less of the cost and I have grown open to the idea of living elsewhere once I have enough money to retire early (I'm talking around 55) and enjoy life without feeling cash-strapped. World class private medical care can be found for prices that are unbelievable and without the multiple appointments and wait times.\n\nI will always be a Canadian first, but there is room for a second citizenship or a backup plan should living in Canada become an impossible place to live or retire, unless you begin with a financial advantage. By no means am I poor, either. I got lucky with both real estate and stocks. Yet, I feel like I am working to just get by, while being taxed well beyond what I am getting in return.

This will be the trend in the future. The western utopia culture craze is expiring. People are becoming polarised. So, wealthy Muslims etc will move to safer accepted countries.\nThats better.

Of course the Arabs don’t want refugees look what happened in Jordan 1970 called Black September when some Palestine refugees try to over throw the Jordan government after they accepted them because they were refugees ?.

It doesn´t sound like you were ever feeling home in Canada. Canada is always been Christian-majority, progressive country that sides with US and UK politically. If you can´t accept it then you won´t be satisfied in Canada.

After Jordan, no Muslim state will take a single Palestinian. Arab nations provide only 20% of aid to Palestine. West should stop all aid and focus on other nations in need. Let Muslims help Muslims. Infidel money should not be accepted by Palestine, it’s haram.

Accept these people and send all the woke students over.

So sorry to hear that you are being attacked for wearing a hijab. Hijab should be a perfectly acceptable clothing. I admire you for moving to a muslim country to live within your own moral ststem instead of wanting to change the culture of a christian country. Good luck to you guys.

It seems there's an exageration here since Trudeau has just accepted to receive the Palestinians hamas to Canada.

Anyone with a brain knows he basically said “no they won’t accept any refugees”

Maybe don’t elect a terrorist organization as your government and people will accept your refugees

may Allah bless you and accept your families hijra ❤

If your daughters 'chose' not to wear hijab, would you just accept them or nag/guilt-trip them untill they 'choose' hijab?

Good answer. Remove the weight. When I worked in Saudi it always amused me that if you bought a globe or a map anywhere in the country, “Israel” simply didn’t show up on them. Only Palestine. Yet I never heard a harsh word directed at Israel or Israelis. Simply a refusal to accept the existence of a country that exists by apartheid and now genocide. (And of course Saudi has no business judging anyone on human rights (ahem… it’s true) but they are at least slowly improving some things.) He didn’t address even the existence of Israel. Simply pointed out the truth, which is that it’s Palestinian land, and “the weight” (Israel) of oppression simply needs to be removed from where it’s digging in it’s heels. Israel needs to take their boot off the necks of their victims and learn to get along WITHOUT open air prisons they insist aren’t ghettos.

Fact is no Muslim country will accept Palestinian Muslims. Only globalist western countries will accept them as refugees. Arab countries that have permitted Palestinian Muslim refugees have experienced great social unrest bu the Palestinian Muslims.
