Just let the people go to the US. They are trying to make a money. They are also trying to make a better life for their family or their future family. It’s sad to see that people don’t understand what this people have gone through in their life.

For some reason, I feel very angry upon seeing this yet sad at the same time seeing an Indian brother get humiliated by yet another ‘friendly canadian’. \nStereotypes are indeed called stereotypes for a reason.

Sad for the guy

Its sad someone has to face such awful people..

Why should they leave there home land omg what a question sad Americans ?

Feel sad for brother?

It's so sad Trudeau can't take responsibility for anything thing he's in control and takes responsibility for nothing, your the worst prime Minister in our history, take note your a disgrace

They brought in millions of people who hate our culture and disrespect our way of life. They bring with them their problems that made their countries a failure. I’m so upset what has happened to Canada. This is not home anymore. I just and so sad that my kids will never know Canada as it was when I grew up. Liberals destroyed Canada. No freedoms. No rights. Unless you are liberal.

Trudeau created the problem, and it didn't have to be done, and now he wants to be a hero and give us a solution. The only solution is to reduce the supply of people looking for a place to live, a doctor, and a job. They are in competition with our own youth for the little that is out there , and the majority of youth, we are now told, no longer expect to ever have a home of their own. And we were brought to this sad state by a PM who said he wanted to make homes more AFFORDABLE and to help the middle class (whatever that is these days) and those trying to enter it. WHAT A PATHETIC FAILURE!! A proud man would leave, but this one is way too arrogant to ever admit he is not up to the job.

Sounds like a middle aged sad drunk guy what a sausage

I have been in this country for over 50 years and I have never seen such an incompetent PM and cabinet running the country. He is the captain of a sinking ship. Sadly the ship is my country. God helps us.

Do not mind the hateful comments. People’s lives in Canada are pathetic (wake up, work, sleep, repeat) so they have become spiteful. It’s sad ?

Some Canadians have been screaming about this for *YEARS.*\n\nWe have always been a small population on a massive landmass. It's part of our cultural identity. Then Trudeau and his ilk come along and decide to irrevocably change the face of this nation for a bunch of nonsensical reasons that are easily disproved. Nobody asked for this. Nobody was consulted. There was no vote. Canadians had no say - at all - in the fact that their country was going to change so dramatically.\n\nTrudeau is going to lose the election because of his policies, but sadly, the Conservatives replacing him will do no better when it comes to *this* particular issue.

Sadly for everything you identify thats problematic you give it justification in Canada. Maybe if you did that in Africa youd also thrive and feel happier at home.

So sad, all thanks to the wannabe emperor Trudeau and his ghastly socialist policies, what a genius.

its everywhere right now, it is so sad.

1,27 million people added in just 1 year. Albeit most of it temporary workers, this is a disaster for the younger generations trying to make it in the middle class. The housing market is insane right now, if your family was middle class just 10 years ago then you will automatically be lower class once out of education no matter your degree. I know 30 years olds engineers living in shared flats in Calgary with full time jobs. Life has become a sad rat race for the average Canadian.

I left after 26 years. ?. Main reasons were the poor state of kids' education, unfair taxation, cost of living and weather. I thought i would never leave Canada, but it had to happen sadly. I am sad to see such a great country going down the drain. ?

This is sad.

I arrived in Canada in 2006 as a skilled immigrant. It was a big mistake. There were no decent jobs and housing prices were astronomical. In 2018 I left Canada and I intend to never return there. Canada is a sad place. An immigration casino. Canada sucks!

Canada has sadly taken a hit. I say with no hate..... but we let too many people into our nation. The housing issue is one thing, but housing can be built. My sadness comes from the change in our Canadian culture. Canadians were always known to be nice people, polite and generous people but the more foreigners we let in, I see less friendly Canadians, less polite Canadians.... our culture is changing for the worse because of letting other cultures blend in.

Just so sad that first, they get used as Cash Cows and do not get blamed. Guys, Stop coming to Canada after spending 25-30 Lakhs. Most of those who come here before come as refugees or In boats. They aren't worth your Money. If I can go back to time I would have never come back

As a 29 year old who was born and raised in the gta area of Ontario, it's so sad how true all of this is. As I said, I'm 29, with a wife and 2 kids, and I'm stuck living at home with my parents cause if we can could afford to live anywhere else.

I just visited and too many homeless people it made the visit unbearable. It was a snow storm and saw people laying in the snow. Very sad. Every hotel was full and over priced I had to stay in an apartment complex converted into a hotel. $1000 Canadian dollars for a 2 room for a night was excessive. Canada needs to do better

Canada has issues and opportunities. You need to look into it before make the decision of moving to Canada. Sadly there are many people or businesses that only want to take advantage of young professionals or young students. The country is very expensive even for locals. The minimum wage is no enough to live comfortable and as a full time student you wont be able to work full time. So take your time and do an honest analysis weather if you have the money and spirit to come to Canada. It is a great country, but definitely it's NOT for everyone.

Ugh this is so sad. I was in my mid 20s when I left Canada for the US because the housing situation there was out of control. The park they showed at the 2:44 mark was where I used to live back in 2021 and I remember it was filled with kids playing and people walking their dogs. Now it's a tent encampment for the homeless. Very sad to see the living condition deteriorate there and hoping they can turn it around.

Canadian born citizen here. I am almost done my degree. Once I'm done well I have been saving up for tuition well before starting university so I will pay that in cash and then head out to perhaps the states. I get it that they have the same issues as us but there is definitely room for improvement. You can't progress in Canada like you can in America. The most you will make in Canada is what you are paid for a few years of experience in America. Have several years of experience? You will make double. It's sad to see what it has become but if no decisions are made on the federal level most will have no choice but to go somewhere else.\n\nEdit: I also have family in America that will allow me to stay with them until I get settled as well. It's a no brainer. But probably will be here for a couple of years to save some cash

Vancouver, at least on a per capita basis, and view on the streets is even worse.. sad to see its getting real bad in Toronto too. What's happening to Canada man..

It’s sad what the liberal government has done to Canada. All the cities are are now turning into liberal havens and it’s starting to resemble the democrat cities in the US. Crime ridden and homeless everywhere.

i am sad about the guy od'ing at 6:59, looks like he's just starting down the path, university kid or something, well dressed/groomed. :(

Coincidence ? About 75% of people in Canada drives to work and only 25% are happy, Cars = poor and sad, \n\nno car = happy life, isn't that simple ?

My hometown of Toronto has fallen, so sad. But this is all by design whether you people believe it or not.

Sad,i feel bad for the gentleman who is getting the run around while these non Canadians get the handouts. Joke of a country/city.

You can see the sadness in the guy next to her (I am assuming her husband) as he is acting like he agrees with her…

Stay out of this place its trash. Unless you are a millionaire you will be poor no matter what. And if u are a millionaire you wont be for long. The taxes are crazy, the cost of living is crazy. You will never own a home unless you are very very rich, the weather is horrible, if thats not enough for you all the above problems are getting worst by the day. Im an engineer making 130-140k a year and couldnt afford a house in even the cheaper cities such as halifax... toronto or vancouver? Forget about it. I forgot to mention the healthcare, people are dying in waiting rooms and from cancers that could be treated if detected early, but they are often stage 4 before even being diagnosed. Very sad but very common

so sad, canada is falling!

It also makes it very difficult for canadians as well because the rent has tripled due to international students and canadians are left homeless. As sad as it is, it all needs to stop. My east indian friend was sending home 100 dollars every pay cheque to her family to pay for nephews education. 100 canadian dollars is approx 6,163.44 Indian Rupee. Quite the exchange.

Great video man, this is video that take a lot of time to deliver. keep up the good work, this is very interesting and sad

sadly this is happening in every Canadian city.

As a foreigner myself and living my last days here before moving to the US, I can say that my main issues were: access to the job market (the egg-chicken paradox that you described perfectly) and the cost of living. Sad to leave because i did picture myself here, but unfortunately I couldn't find what I was looking for

This is cery sad. No man deserves such blatent disrespect. Cops needs educated here.

Our once beautiful Canada is sadly disappearing, thank you for this video. Just a small note, Ottawa is the capital of Canada, Toronto is the capital of Ontario.

This is sad ? Canada needs to do better

wow so very very sad to see how Toronto crumpled.

A better question is why are 3rd or 4th generation Canadians leaving. The real patriotic Cdns are leaving and thats real sad !!

This is so sad

Incredible that these destitute , homeless and drug addicted people have accurately described the causes that are responsible for this situation .\nNo more 1970 ,1980 or 1980 gta that was a livable, workable area , so sad . I miss that time and it ain’t ever coming back .\n This is why so many people moving out especially police and government worker's\nAnd people exposed to the chaos.\n After all where do drug addicted, mentally unstable, refugees and desperate people flock to ? The big centres for social assistance , including student visa’s which is beyond disingenuous. Even migrants are returning to the country of origin because of the terrible economics of rent and job income affordability ratios. There are people living in bunk beds and squeezed into unsafe rooming houses .

Almost certain that girl screaming at 1am is my old neighbour who went missing from august 2023-feb 2024. My wife and I heard that she was found safe and we hoped she was doing better and clean but unfortunately it isn’t the case it seems ? sad she was a really nice person before her life went downhill and she turn to drugs ?

Living in Toronto, I've seen this city degrade year after year in so many aspects and no-one seems to give a damn to offer anything but platitudes. \n\nIt's sad that the apathy from politicians and people has brought us to this point.

Thanks for making this video and spreading the truth of what's happening in Toronto. As someone born and raised in this city, I would sadly have to say to stay away from here now. In the past I would have said this is one of the best cities to live in. It was a great city and now it's a dead city.
