1. While McDonald's was originally created in the US there is a 2nd version and its 100% Canadian. After the u.s. McDonald's began franchising one of the brothers became so disgusted with the lack of regulation in the US on what is considered 'food' he moved to Canada and relaunched the chain. While the restaurant named remains the same and a handful of the main burgers the two companies are completely separate and have nothing to do with one another.\n\n2. Gov work, nurses, doctors, teachers, etc have a regulated minimum wage of 7.25 are you ....... kidding me??? 3. The US has no paid maternity leave u have the baby take 2 weeks off unpaid and back work 4. Server's make 2.13 + tips an hour ...... 5. The federal and state government recommend homes in the city have sewage plumbing BUT it is not required. There are literally houses in the southern states with the toilets flushing right into the front or backyard. 6. Perfectly fine to pay a man more than a woman in the US because a woman isnt a man. 7. And if a woman literally becomes a man by changing 'her' name + physically in appearance via surgery/hormones/whatever she still won't get paid the same as a man because she still not viewed as a man: no gender rights. 8. Where's the healthcare when the US has the highest taxes in the world??? 9. Classist. 10. No regulated education. Literally there is no rules on teaching the students these days are learning absolutely nothing. There's no such thing as regulating education in the US anymore 11. The country is over 33 trillion dollars in debt..... It's never going to fix that.\n\nI could go on and on for another hundred reasons before I'd have to Google something else to add to the list but these are only a few of the reasons why any Canadian who knows anything about the US, would never willfully move south of the boarder. American people themselves, aside from a personality trait here or there are fine. Its the demon structure of the country that make America deplorable. Sorry.

Df stay we’re u from damn beans and fix your own problems and state with your weak ahhh president cuz the cartel told his lil B ahh if he don’t let the cartel what they want and sh they find his family and kill dem but it’s funny cuz these mf are lying smart ruthless fear their ez enemies we know they here in usa around the state it’s just the government waiting for dem cause they got something good consequence come for them all remember technology nor only on your phones it’s could track you technology every kind of technology. It’s easy to find a target. not to find to hear and see what everyone around the world doing this ain’t 1990 or sh we’re in the future and it’s getting crazy

Dont these police officers get any training about cultural awareness or sensitivity...if tats the level of ignorance in US...i can only imagine what would be happening in other aprts of the world...m angry for how he s being treated and they think an apology letter should fix it all...how about training your officers properly...you dont react in the same manner to guns dumbheads

make it take everything mirror go back home and fix they said take all of them all of them go home and get that ceiling fight take their own country back when do folk with needing him throw up cost of living in China do Donald Trump grow in Las Vegas up

Yes, American citizens need to be taken care of first before we let any more people into the country, but let's keep thinking about this... Why are so many people trying to escape Venezuela? Could it possibly be the cripplingly sanctions the US has imposed on Venezuela for decades? There is no better example of how sanctions don't work and only make the population of the country suffer and not the leaders. Why are people trying to leave Mexico, which is a country where guns are 100% illegal? If you guessed violence from the drug cartels being one of the main reasons, good job. Now, why do drug cartels in Mexico even exist? To supply the gigantic appetite that Americans have. Where are the cartels getting their guns from? Once again the answer is Mexico. If you are someone saying Mexico needs to fix itself, just remember that they have the one of the worst neighbors ever. We have no problem giving Israel $3 billion every year and sending our military all over the world to bring democracy to people who never wanted it, but our neighbors to the south? Fuck em. War on drugs? Lol. That's a war America doesn't really want to win.

Why don't these people fix their country . They want every thing the u.s. has to offer but its laws.

If only we gathered like that to deport every last illegal then fix up America with getting rid of the corrupt government first thing if biden was not president we wouldn't have as much illegals as we do now and a whole lot would be better if biden wasn't president but dummies that have two brain cells like biden voted for biden and biden cheated anyways and dummies still voted for sleepy joe

That’s why all the jobs are GONE, can’t get loans, DON’T care about getting valid drivers license or insurance and drive around AIMING AT THE PEOPLE!!! DON’T know what Red lights, yellow flashing lights, stop signs are used for, speed limits on the street and buying junk cars and fixing them up to do donuts in the street at 1,2,3,4,5,6 o’clock in the morning! It’s truly overwhelming and NOTHING can be done! Unfortunately the city belongs to um and NOT for the good!

We are exhausted of this type of crap fix the problem

Its sad But.....Our people are starving and dying. Port of Entry is policy for reason. I'm sorry for these humans. That being said fix our shit then...start P.O.E.

During Covid the Canadian government started cutting into our basic human rights and some of us wanted to move to the US where rights and freedom are more respected or maybe it’s the fact that everyone has at least three guns and you can’t start taking away peoples rights when their armed it didn’t end up working out, but then the truckers came and fixed thing’s

If these ppl had to fight to change their own countries they would do wonders, mzny are cop outs looking for an easy fix

Ok biden do your job, protect america. I would start with the US army. This is war!!! Why aren't they fixing their own countries. Because they are weak.\n#stupidhumans

It's infuriating that people demand entry. My heart goes out to them.\nI can only imagine what their countries are going through, BUT it's not our job to fix it. People don't want the US help in their country in exchange for some benefits. But then demand entry here.

As a American there is a lot of things to say, I want to in the future duel with the uk/eu or Canada. I’m surprised they haven’t talked about the high excelation of racism, and as a Asian person it hasn’t been fun. Until we at the lowest minimum (not my actual minimum) fix our healthcare system is close to nhs that is basically free healthcare payed by your taxes, then I don’t see much people wanting to go to the states; aside from maybe university. There is a lot that plays a role, but in my eyes living in Cali or Portland or Seattle or nyc are the better places. One thing that I’ll say is though we need higher wages, I think that is kinda something we get more at times than other countries to a extent.

Perfect Government will *Soon come from Heaven with Jesus as King to Clean +Fix Earth ?? We Are Not Enough @ JW/ Jehovah's Witnesses

The worst thing about America,s school shootings is the resistance to fix it. Republicans are genocidal

People saying these people won't obey our laws yet we don't . . And you rarely see Mexicans in jail unless it's for trespassing and Im not talking about Latinos or Hispanics. I mean Mexican Mexicans that speak nothing but Spanish and fix our homes and sell us fruit

I'd like to make it clear that most Americans I've met are wonderful people. I'm a creative professional, I can see being tempted by a high paying gig, but several of the points raised here I agree with. I've got diabetes, and insulin prices alone would bankrupt me (that might have been fixed recently, but I have no idea whether that's been fixed by legislation). You mentioned it being safer in smaller towns, but was Columbine a big city? Uva!de Texas? Sandy Hook? Some of my favorite places in the world to visit are in the USA, but staying? Sorry, but not likely.

I'm not leaving Canada. As Stompin Tom once said, 'If you don't think your country should come before yourself, You can better serve your country, by living somewhere else.' I'm staying so I can help fix this mess.

If I had to move somewhere I'd go to Ireland, UK, Denmark, Italy, Costa Rica, some Caribbean Island but never the USA. If you fixed your health care, excessive gun violence and lower your crime rate through better social service system (instead of locking everyone up), Stopped using culture war nonsense to pit your population against each other then I would move there.

I think a big part of the feelings most have about not moving to the US, apart from the reasons they've been able to quantify, are the fact that we see the obvious problems not being fixed. In many other countries health care, gun control, etc may not be perfect, but change and improvements are made. In the US, we see any efforts shot down time and time again because the policians seem to be owned by corporations/lobbyists, and big business likes things as they are. This significantly erodes confidence in the US government's ability to address other crises that will come up.

It is significant that your ‘American’ perspective of “some places are bad, but you just need to stay in the good places” doesn’t match a more empathetic Canadian approach. If it’s ‘bad’ for some Canadians we feel obligated to fix that, rather than allow some to prosper, while others are not our problem. It’s a fundamental axiom of a functioning social democracy, that ‘fairness’ thing.

Hell NO Americans are loud,gun toting,trump voting,woke nuts people that are beyond fixing. Canada for our flaws are so much balanced,happy and polite.

I pray that your little American bubble never bursts. When,not if, it bursts I hope you'll have a better understanding of how very sick and dysfunctional your country has become and get up and DO something to help fix it!

My opinion as a Canadian with no first hand life experience in the states but personally know plenty of people who do and follow many Americans on social media.\n\nI like to look at both sides of the story when I don’t personally know any better. First thing is when it comes to health care, Canadians use only the cost as an argument but never the quality. The only time I will ever use the government funded healthcare is for a broken bone. Any other issues my knowledge and experience makes me stay far and clear away from the hospitals. However I was talking with a retired business man who spends winter in Florida and he said he had a health issue while there, was referred to a certain doctor by a friend, made an appointment within a few days, not a yearlong waitlist, and with one visit had his issues fixed. Paid the bill and was done with it. Not a story of take this for a while then come back, come back to get referred to a specialist, wait a few months for the specialist, get an appointment 6 months later, and after surgery you feel only slightly better because in your mind you should be better. I do believe Canadian healthcare is low quality and sadly designed for the government to make money. American healthcare is private and needs to offer good quality services in order to succeed.\n\n\nNext subject is violence. Everyone I know and follow in the states have never had any major acts of violence towards them. I believe just like Canada, some areas are more prone to violence but since the states have 10x more people, they have 10x more violent spots which makes it seem worse. Rural Canada and rural United States seems to me very similar in the way people treat each other. \n\n\nI wouldn’t be scared to move there if that’s what would be best. Doubt it’ll happen because I enjoy having the amount of unpopulated area to go riding atvs, snowmobiles, and whatever else. Seems like the states have less area that everyone can freely enjoy but I could be wrong

Canadians who say that they'd never move to the USA fall into these groups:\n\nA) Ignorant: People who get their news about the USA from the CBC or any of the other MSM FAKE NEWS outlets.\n\nB) Leftists/Liberals: People who would only ever move to Leftist/Liberal havens, such as New York, California or Washington; and they're aware of how those states are extremely dangerous, with violent crime on the rise, extremely high taxes and fascist governments that make Trudeau look good.\n\nC) The Elderly: Unfortunately, most elderly people in Canada are on a fixed income; and the meager healthcare they're allowed to receive is still far better than anything they can afford in the USA.\n\nI'd consider moving to a number of states in the USA. It's a great country... great people (even many DemoKKKrat voters aren't as terrible as the people they elect).

I hope they get sprayed down. Come in legally or fix your country because you illegally coming into mine is ruining it.

The people saying that we need to fix our own country first are exactly what’s wrong with our country. It’s not the country, it’s the people. You want to fix it? Go away.

Canada's problems could be fixed without a major overhaul of society. \n1. Repeal the Carbon Tax. It's really a useless tax, when you are already forcing society to change through policy, you don't need to punish the people any more than that \n2. 10% reduction in federal tax rates \n3. Get a Canadian style Shark Tank with some federal money involved as a public/private partnership to boost Canadian entrepreneurship. \n4. 2 year moratorium on onerous enviornmental and permit restrictions that are blocking new housing construction. Provide incentives and rewards to developers of starter home communities \n5. Provide provinces with financial incentives to open private Urgent Care clinics in every province that will offer on demand urgent care to anyone who walks through the door without appointment \n6. Ban registered Liberals from ever holding public office for the rest of their lives

It's OK though, Joe put Kamala in charge of the border. It'll be fixed in no time! \n\nI'd laugh if it wasn't incredibly sad

Well, if they just put that effort into fixing their own countries maybe they wouldn't be here.

Fix your own damn country. We got enough issues here as it is.

Perhaps Canada should put a moratorium on the insane amount of immigration until it fixes the housing shortage problem? Seems logical thinking to me. You deal with the core problem first. Not rocket science.

This is Awful why these people don’t fix this issue !!

First I feel for these people. They want to live in the greatest country in the world. Because of the current president we are in a bad situation where he has made it hard for the citizens that where born here to make a living let alone any new immigrants.\nOur military needs to protect our borders as they do in other countries and any illegal immigrants needs to be deported back to their country and do it the right way it’s an act of terrorism to invade our country the economic strain that it puts on the US is enormous like a bleeding artery that you can’t get tied off. Instead of trying to change our country and ruin it they should put that effort into fixing their own. We need to fix our country first. It would take no less than 5 years of no entry to fix ours at the rate they have been pouring in our own infrastructure can’t handle the influx of people. Mr. President I beg you save our country before you destroy it quite trying to be everyone’s friend be as a president should a leader and protector of the greatest country in the world. Please stop destroying it and disrespecting those that came before you.

I wish they had the same energy to fix their own country

We cant fix Our Country because the top agenda is left, right infighting. They refuse to see that Uniting for these kind of issues and more is only way to strive for fixing anything. We were hoping that as things deteriorate or are ignored because blaming is more important. Politicians started this and most vocal of downing each other. How does anyone trust that this is helping any person or issue? This is chaos. Today there was a party rep saying that immigration and drugs have settled into a crawl.

I see all these comments about we need to fix America or we need to fix our country first or Americans can't find housing Y'all do realize that the only problem is that the rich are just abusing us. There is no way to become that wealthy without screwing someone else over. When were y'all open your eyes and realize that we need to go after the rich people and our own government who helps the rich people.

We do not owe them a debt. They (or any other migrant) are not entitled to become US citizens solely bc their home country is in turmoil. Sympathy can only go so far but when you try to invade our country all sympathy is lost. I feel for them greatly but these kinds of actions harden the hearts of our people and make the hate expressed toward LEGAL immigrants 100x worse. We have families that we need to protect just like them. Who knows what dangerous person is in the crowd liable to do anything one they cross that border without any record of their presence or existence. ?‍♀️ The united states is not a fucking charity help the homeless people in California and strengthen the support for legal immigrants before giving hand outs to these people who have fuck all to offer but a bunch of desperation that we do not have the resources to fix. Have we already forgot our country nearly went bankrupt in June? We cannot afford the influx of all these people.

Fix your own country then you won’t have to run to another one

If things are getting worse in their country, then why can't they go home and try fixing that?\nCommon sense... Use your head.

That's an easy fix. We just have to take a lot of the unused property from corporations, including Chinese corporation, French corporations, British corporations, British corporation As well as massive oil industries.\nThat's about 60% Of us property owned by 3 people.\nAll of which was loaned by the government to them for the use of mineral rights.....

Imagine if they all came together like that to take over and fix their own country. I know it’s not that easy, but it’s a start.

We need to fix ourselves before we can fix someone else we barely got houses for ourself

Why can’t they fight to fix there own homeland??? \n\nWhat is the truth about there own government or homeland.???

People say we need to fix our country first when they are apart of the problem to begin with. Americans are the last people to work the jobs that are in high demand and then yell they don’t have jobs

we need to fix America before we let anyone else in

Thank you liberals. You voted for corruption you are spreading it across the world. Easy fix.

I sincerely sympathize with these ppl but we are already over crowded and suffering ourselves..please in the name of Jesus I pray to God he will fix y'all problem in y'all country..I'm not understanding the real reason and need to come illegally..but whatever it is Lord please help your children from whatever evil they dealing with in Jesus name..Amen ?
