Canada ain’t what it used to be!

Our governments in Canada have certainly failed us thanks to Justin & Jagmeet. Voting has consequences so vote for Pierre Pollievue in 2025 . Hopefully he can enact change to get our country back on track . It will take decades to fix but this country is blessed with talented people and vast resources. It is a beautiful land so let's improve the human side . The rest of the world may beckon but it to has many problems.

I started making plans to leave Canada back in 2013. I left in October of 2021, during the Covid insanity, where the people and Government of Canada revealed who they truly were. It was the best move I ever made for my family and I. We are much better off being out of the shit-hole that is Canada.

I too am thinking of leaving. Sad but our governments have failed the people again and again to the point where it's not worth living here anymore. I was born and raised in Canada but I am taxed to death and it's tougher and tougher to keep the middle class status.

Shame on you. you cannot paint a country the size of Canada with the same brush. you have seen less than 1 percent of the country. Go live elsewhere and stay gone.

Good riddance you right winger. Canada is better off without you.

canada is a rich country why you are leaving canada or try for norway

Hi Alina, yes I think most people must been kept in so much suspense and perhaps many like me must have move forward hoping the answer is there somewhere towards the end of your video. I perfectly understand what you say about Canada. I think it is largely due to really poor and incompetent leadership and to some extent, a lack of independence to do what is best for Canada instead of another country. Whichever country you choose, I wish you all the very best for a happy and more fulfilled future. I think you are moving to New Zealand although we would love to have someone like you in our country China. Catch you in the next.

Are you moving to Mexico or Thailand ???\n\nGood luck, Alina.\nCome back to Canada at Xmas time.

We are in the process of leaving Canada as well. Possibly permanent. We have come to Canada 22 years ago. We can live a good life with even one minimum wage when we first arrived Canada. It was a dream land for everybody. Today, we are double income professionals in Saskatchewan and still feel living standard is poor. Grocery price is 5 or 10 times as when we first come to Canada. However, salary of average family barely increase. The spending of government is just out of control and make everybody poor. Canada is on a rapid downhill path since Justin Trudeau become Premier Minister, I can't see this trend can be turned back in a short time.

The Canada I grew up in vs Canada today feel like two different countries. I literally feel like a foreigner in the country I was born in.

Lets be clear on this , We gave people a safe place to avoid religious persecution and war and they repay us with Violence and protesting , all of which has nothing to do with their Homeland in Canada

Canada or india last i was in Toronto i did not see any Canadians only Indians

20 years ago Canada was a beautiful country. It is a cesspool now. It’s a shame. I come from a military family and I am truly thankful my father and grandfather aren’t alive to see what the country they fought for has become.

A boat can only hold so much before it sinks. Canada already had a big housing and unemployment problem. I know people would love to be altruistic but you will end up drowning. It’s the same thing in the US and Europe.

I’m fed up…. I want this to remain CANADA …. We can’t even house our homeless afford groceries the crime is high …human trafficking is frightening !! My kids in their 20’s will never afford to buy a first time home

I lived in Canada, as a British accent educated professional in Canada! You will never be part of their kindly, never!

Canada is not a white land. It was colonized by the European people 200 years ago.

Pretty soon but already feels like Canada is transforming into third world thanks to Trudeau

Meanwhile Canada is created from European imigrants, mostly poor farmers. Btw, you are speaking French and English and not Canadian. Canadian immigrants who call themselve „natives” are so hiprcrites. You have nothing common with real Native Canadians. And now are crying that illegal immigration should be stopped. Greeting from UE country founded in X century.

no they will find housing for the illegal immigrants but not for locals, legal immigrants will take care of themselves, again not only in Canada ????

Don’t move to Canada, it’s very bad and there is a lot of discrimination, especially against Asian and African people. You will regret it

Wow. White people forget they are also immigrants in North America continent. In Canada, the Inuits are the original people, as Native Americans/Indians are to the USA, and yet they are pushed off to the side in their own countries by caucasian immigrants/invaders.

Brother i m an indian muslim, i just want to work in canada for some years earn money and go back to india

My family came to Canada in the early 80s, invested over $200,000 for 3 businesses over 35 years, employing over 30 Canadians. That's what I thought immigration was, a contribution to Canada's growth in exchange for our citizenship. That Canada must gain something before I am allowed to live in this country. Apparently, that's no longer the case.

Canada is broken. If tenant does not pay rent they should be evicted within 30 days.

Canada needs capable, skilled workers, and Pakistan has a terrible gender equality record. If they are seeking asylum legally, there's not a problem.

This should not be legal. That's messed up. They're taking those jobs from people that actually need those jobs. It's not easy for people in South Asian middle class families to get these jobs as their English is not fluent so these jobs go to privileged and educated families. They're getting the airline blacklisted by doing this, reducing jobs for the poor in their home country. This is selfish. As someone from a 3rd world country, this is dangerous. I've heard so many cases of people ending up as slaves because some idiot conned them into doing this. Canada also needs to look into corrupted politicians getting PR cause they bought land there through money laundering schemes in the home country. And these issues have existed even before Trudeau came into power. Stop blaming just 1 person, blame the entire system.

Just a reminder that the flight attendants are NOT the reason why Canada is getting more and more crowded lol I would be absolutely shocked if that made up more than 0.0001% of our immigration numbers

UK needs to immigrate more so Canada can recover

This is a big reason why foreign investors don't want to invest in Canada anymore.

They're streaming into the US from Canada to NYC by the (literally busloads) because NYC has a free housing policy for illegal immigrants. They are being housed while veterans are left on the streets - literally no room at the inn. Everybody is crying about illegal immigration at the SOUTHERN border, but don't complain about the illegal immigration at the NORTHER border. Didn't Trump build his 'big beautiful wall'? Did we not spend millions of taxpayer dollars on it? I know Mexico didn't pay a penny on it. I also know if illegal immigration is higher under Biden than Trump, his big beautiful wall is a big beautiful FAILURE.

white illegal immigrant in canada think that's thier land lol

Canada has no right to be angry with immigrants after destroying iraq Afghanistan etc alongwith USA NATO

Sounds like Canada needs guns

Just like eating what you want to eat, living where you want to live is an equal right given to all people around the world.Therefore, it is classic racism to prevent people from coming to the Canada from certain countries.

I believe the government should take a more proactive approach to managing the number of people admitted into Canada, ensuring a balanced and equitable distribution. It's important to avoid scenarios where larger groups overshadow smaller ones, which could lead to future challenges. Additionally, we should aim to prevent issues similar to the riots currently happening in the UK.

Do native Canadians have children anymore? Can they afford to? Do indigenous Canadians agree to more immigration (colonization) of Canada?

India would easily send 50 million immigrants if Canada wants.

meanwhile most of young canadian leave their country to work outside canada... GUD LUCK with your country canada..

Canada needs to make up its mind: a Ch-inese or an I-ndian province?!

They became strict with the legal applicants with qualification. They prioritize those with no proper betting, that's why it destroyed the process. Atleast woth the legal, they can control the skilled applicants, and can see who and what skill Canada needed (no surplus).

I thought the whole population of Canada was immigrants.

Ive lived here my entire life and sadly have seen canada go from a have to a have not country .From medical care to the subway that has taken more than a decade we are in bad shape .

Immigrants aren’t the problem, Canada is a country of immigrants from day 1, it’s the immigration system we have that is broken.

I’m not Muslim but I can understand some of these reasons why you’d want to leave Canada…Canadas not merely diverse anymore it’s diluted, money & bills culturalism is the real identity…it’s hard then ever to acquire personal wealth in the socialist nation. Still one of the cleanest & safest though…isolated crimes yes, bigoted & discriminatory somewhat but the irony is it’s mostly from the new immigrants that bring it from their own war torn etc countries. I don’t thing anybody loves the cold.

Canada sucks

i'm french Canadian, a went to USA 6 times... only to go to Walt Disney... i would never live there... but i love Disney ! i wish we had one in Canada, but we will never, because it's too cold here

41k for an apartment is very extreme there should be laws to keep under 41k. people who are charging 41 for an apartment are the people who hurting our economy. People are charging 41k for apartments is helping to drive insane housing prices up. People are charging 41k for apartments making it possible for a 2008 housing crisis style accour in Canada.

Scapegoating? It's simple supply and demand, and nothing can change it. Socialism won't fix it, importing impoverished people won't fix it, legislation won't fix it. You have to attract people with the proper skillsets to make the country and city better. Having a booming population and no room to grow doesn't do that. The California Bay Area and Los Angeles area has already seen the problems this causes, companies and skilled workers are moving to places that they can afford to live and build companies. With more people comes less opportunities, Canada needs to learn from the mistakes of others. Do not take everyone, take those who want a better life but can also give back to the country.
