Who has told them that there is abundance here. I’m almost 80 years old and I only received $240 a month in Social Security. I have asked for more money because I’m sickly and can’t work but they won’t increase it because they say, basically, you have to be like crawling on your hands and knees, or in a wheelchair. Many of my friends cannot get disability insurance. They have to wait almost 2 years and have to get a lawyer. I don’t wanna wait till I get that bath then what I’ll be in the street. people in our government, and on the far left are lying to them they might give them a little bit of money when they first arrive, \nBut it won’t last then they’re gonna be homeless like everybody else we see on the streets of Los Angeles in every town. I worked all my life here in California and that’s all I get is $240 a month.

I agree with everything he says but it won’t change one fact and that is that unless the Arab Coalition and the the other 50 odd states of Muslims collectively sever all diplomatic and trade efforts/routes with Israel, their help will be deemed useless thus resulting in the entire Islamic world thinking very little of these pathetic people…

Canada has the same problem as the United States: wrong kind of politicians elected. Like the U.S., most Canadians consider themselves compassionate liberals and thus feel obligated to vote for said, compassionate liberal politicians. The problem is, for Canada and the U.S., these compassionate liberal politicians don't know how to run the nation's economy except to run it further into the ground. And when the problems get really bad, the solution is always, raise taxes because liberal politicians are either Marxist Socialist and believe the citizenry are obligated to pay higher and higher taxes for more government intervention, meaning, interference, in most cases.\n Whenever Canada does get around to voting in a conservative prime minister and government, the Canadian mass media immediately goes on a years-long negative campaign of deliberately undermining the government in the eyes of the Canadian People, demeaning them as inept and uncompassionate and comparing them to fascists. Eventually the Canadian People get so distressed they have to vote back in the liberal party. And then the same happens again.\n I'm just glad our Canadian brothers are not blaming the U.S. government or the CIA, but instead are clear-headed and courageous enough to blame their own government and past legislations and laws that do the exact opposite of what is supposed to happen, level the playing field for all Canadians.\n I'm reading about the outrageous pricing of Canadian housing and am astonished. But one YouTuber explained this about his Canada. Everyone in Canada wants to squeeze into the few, concentrated urban areas that concentrate business, finance, manufacturing, job opportunities, et al. As it happens, these areas are too few and far between. So what ends up happening is geographical overpopulation, despite Canada having a total population of around 32 million souls. People in California can certainly understand this phenomenon. You can purchase a 3-bedroom house out in California City, which is near the Mojave Desert, for $176,000, but there's nothing out there to make it worthwhile living there. Conversely, a tiny, 3-bedroom home in Torrance, Los Angeles, was selling for $800,000 in 2018. \n As realtors put it this way all the time, location, location, location!\n I'm going to pass on commenting on Canada's National Health Care. I've read criticisms from native Canadians on the Internet. As Canadians, they're entitled to say whatever they want about their country. If I, a Yank, open my big mouth, I'm going to get trolled by a hundred angry Canadians defending their National Health Care as the world's greatest socialized medical care. Health Care is already expensive enough in the U.S. Most people get it through their employer, which pays a part of it. But employees' monthly deductions for health insurance have been growing steadily over the past 30 years to where it's now a huge chunk out of one's monthly paycheck.

All points are bang on. Too many monopolies inside too many extremely large categories. The taxes are out of control!!!! Everyone says free health care. Not true. What percentage of healthcare is done through company benefits? My guess is a high %. Also, look at some of the salaries people are making who work for the governments! The city I live in, about 150,000. There are dozens of “captains in the fire department as well as dozens of captains in training making 120,000 per year and have the ability to work 24 hour shifts (how much downtime) and I’m not sure how many days total in a month they have to work 6 or 7 shifts a month. We have a LOT of firemen. My property taxes are over $6000 per year now.

This is invade and take over. Our asshole leaders have no comprehension of the importance of maintaining cultural identity and the libtard thinks they are taking care of helpless kittens that need a home. Let in alien peoples settle in your land and they will make it their own. Our governments have detatched themselves from reality and will say its just a little bit of this or mostly peacfull that until it isn't and by then, they'll either be dead or skipped country.

Im white canadian and there has been no jobs for me and yes no doctor no jobs no rent way to expensive my canada died when all greedy people came and rent went up when 500,000 immigrant come a year of course the system cant handle it but the worst is all refugees who are complaining because they used to have better…. And its not up to their standard so with love i say yes please everybody go home so we are ALL happy back home

44 years living here... keeps getting worse in almost all aspects. Great people to say the most.

The islam community in London says there’s only a few people doing this, but I do not see them, policing their own, and making sure that this stops, nor do I hear them publicly condemning that sort of bootjack enforcement of sharia law in.

A lot of people don't understand how hard it is to live as a refugee in another country. Most regular people would never want that life, refugees are forced into it because they have no choice.\nThe people saying that should just 'move somewhere else' are so insensitive!

Why not take refugees to make them safe? If you cared as much as you say, that way Israel could destroy Hamas and then you could allow them to go back. It sounds to me that the arab world doesnt want to stop Hamas, only Israel ?? if this is the case then you are allowing Allah to decide who lives and who dies, why not reduce the deaths by making people safe. This war has taken to many innocent lives on both sides

Does Sharia say that people have no dress sense.

Wow theres a huge culture shock between financial positions in life. I am originally from Northern On. Average earnings for all of my extended family is less than 60 k combined. Hearing people say that 400k for a home is not bad always confuses me as to how that could ever be viewed as a fair price.

as a Canadian who is highly educated and, your list is totally on point. I was born and raised here, and at 40yo I would say that leaving has been on my mind for the past 5+ years and will be the likely scenario for me once my grandparents are no longer around. If it weren't for them, I would have left years ago. The two primary drivers for me are job opportunities and the government. One thing I will correct is the wages you presented. The vast majority of Canadians, regardless of whether they were born here or not, do NOT make 6 figures and even the high 5 figures is not as common as people like to think. I have been turned down for work because of being over-qualified more times than not and now struggle on less than 50K/yr with 2 jobs. Just trying to get a part time gig to supplement is a problem despite my decades of experience. As someone who is single, one income just does not cut it here no matter how frugal or minimalist your life is. I can't imagine what its like for those with families. Plain and simple, this country, like many, is failing.

Canada is a huge country. It is much more than Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. There are places in Canada, other large cities, where housing is a fraction of the cost of Toronto, jobs for the trades and University educated alike are available. So many people say its expensive in Canada then use Toronto as an example. That is your problem. As a Canadian and employer in the tech industry look to western Canada for homes and jobs.

As a European who lived for 3 years in Canada, I have to say that Canadians - as much as I love them - are very entitled. They live in a bubble and don't realise how good they have it. \n\nTheir country is beautiful, the lifestyle is phenomenal even if you aren't rich. A lot of things they complain about like rising house prices, food costs, and political divide is literally happening everywhere - I'm really not sure why they think only Canada is struggling with this right now. Perhaps because on their strong currency they can go and live like Kings in somewhere like Portugal or Bali, but then they don't realise that they are bringing over the cost of living crisis and making things harder for locals when they do that. \n\nThey want things to be perfect, which isn't something to discourage but they don't realise how much harder life is like in most other countries on the planet. The only ones who appreciated it were the people who had lived for a few years in the UK or Paris or Australia, or somewhere else they imagined that life was easier and then ended up actually miserable and actually struggling - and then soon fly back to Canada. I have to say though I do love the sense of always wanting things to be better, whilst in Europe we tend to accept having less, less options and struggle to the extent that we don't even see it as struggle.

Canada has been turned into a woke hellhole now. The price of living is insane I dont understand how anyone can afford to live after paying the crazy rents and expensive food and bills. The communist gov is out of control as well. I can not wait to retire and got out of this place. Voters are braindead is all I can come up with... I just dont get it. The biggest lie canadians eat up is that they live in a free country... they have no clue just how controlled they are. Also, I have lost so many friends because of their willingness to fall for the brainwashing. I was attacked a number of times by work friends and friends outside of work because I refused to sit their and keep my mouth shut as they all partook in the relentless bashing of conservatives and white people in general. Im actually openly gay and let me tell you.. gay people are some of the most gullible little minions the left has. The fact that I was not braindead leftist and gay made me even more of a target and it still happens to this day. Im retiring in 4 years and moving to Dallas where I have a brother. He LOVEs it there and says its the least woke place he has ever been in the US so wish me luck

Yes they have the right to their land but they think all Israel is their land which is ludicrous. There were a small number of Jews who never left Israel when conquered so many times. More over, it’s very convenient for him to say “we don’t want them to leave, they don’t want to leave” you mean I don’t want to have the burden to support them, let’s just keep them there and tell them they need to stay. If there are people who want to leave to safety and come back later, they should be allowed and all Arab countries should help the most. Finally, when he says stop the killings… I hope you referring to Hamas. After all he attacked in an inhuman way murdering innocent people and taking so many hostages in which a 9 month baby now his first birthday will be coming up and these savages still have him. So again, is he referring to Hamas? I doubt it!

As a wise man said at first they settled in palestine illgally by saying you got whole Arab give us a small Israel nation there to now why dont arab nation accept Palestinian, If this happens in next 10 years Why dont Saudi and Turkey accept Syriyan, Jordanian and Lebanese people, Everyone knows that very well

The solution to all these problems is not to make the Palestinians a Muslim or Arab country. The solution to all these problems is the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital. There is no other solution to this problem. There is another question that people ask why an Arab country or a Muslim country is not giving shelter to the Palestinians, so the answer is that the Palestinians have their own country, the Palestinian country is Palestine and they have the right to live on their land. Is. . I am sure that they will never agree to leave their land and Al-Aqsa Mosque, it is not possible, or the Muslim Ummah will never accept it, and if so, if some people say so. If the Palestinians are made a Muslim country, we can also say that if someone from Europe or the United States gives some of their land to the Israelis to the Jews, this problem will end, but no one will do that because no country They will not agree to give even a piece of their land to any other country and all these problems are only because of Europe and America. We want peace, but if the time comes and our governments allow us, we will support our Palestinian brothers in the jihad against Israel, but we don't want war, we want a peaceful world, but that's all they want. . It will be possible to establish an independent Palestinian state by ending the Israeli occupation. When the Palestinians have their own country, why should an Arab or Muslim country keep the Palestinians as refugees in their country? No European country or America should keep Jews as a shelter, it is not possible and if this cruelty, brutality, terrorism does not end, then know that Israel will have to suffer the most dangerous consequences. Time will not stop if the Muslim governments do not declare war against Israel, then the Muslim people will declare war, and if the Muslims rise up, America and Europe will be in no position to stop the Muslims, but we are not. War, we want peace and this is only possible when this occupation ends, this oppression ends and an independent Palestinian state is established.

About #8: As a Finn I gotta say making friends is just as hard in Finland, people are reserved, however the politeness is something that Finnish culture just doesn't have.

What he is saying is that they don’t want the Palestinians in their country either. They are fine with the fact that Hamas is holding their people there as human shields, and the fact that if they did leave, that the Hamas soldiers that are still there would be cannon fodder, and they definitely do not want that.

I'm going to say my opinion as an immigrant, I lived in France (for a while) and one of the reasons I saw people leave this country was family, I'm originally from Colombia and here life with family is extremely important, so when you go to build a new life where you have nothing, you have to build from 0, and of course you're on your own, It's not as simple as you might think, most people I know in France can't do that, they just can't leave their country, they love their country, unfortunately for people like me, immigration is the only option we have, i like my country but i don't had option i had to leave, so I think that's a very good point to consider, people fall alone, immigration is not for everyone. \n \nThank you for your video.

NO, the cost of living in Canada has not *always* been high. For someone as young as this woman that may be true, since people usually say *always* to refer to their own lifespan. When I went to Canada (Toronto) in 1967, it was quite easy to find a one-bedroom apartment for $100-130 . Nothing luxurious of course, but acceptable. Public transport cost 25 cents (!), 5 tickets for $1.00. Working-class salaries were in the range of $100-150 per week. The value of the Canadian dollar was 7% less than that of the US dollar. My wife and I were actors who worked in a children's theatre for $45/week. Slim pickings, but with our approx. $370/month we got along all right, went to the movies, bought records and books,, ate in restaurants from time to time, bought food cheap in the Kensingto Market and got a complete tax refund at the end of the year. There was an air of general prosperity Things have changed drastically over the years, obviously.

Calm down people. They said that they deployed physical barriers to stop this attempt to cross. Obviously the measure in place prevented them from coming. Not saying they should be allowed in but how can you not feel sorry for them. Im wondering how Americans would feel if for some reason Americans needed to flee and were not allowed into Canada or even Mexico. Probably like some of these people.

That shows u whos coming when they are tearing that fence up. Come the right way like many of us did. It took years. Stop having 2 3 4 kids and we have to pay for it. People thi k this is funny? Do u k ow where they dtay? I live in s place where they a mile sesy turned s ice Hotel into a hiding place for them they have big gates they put up. Theyive in the hotel rooms and start the process snd they ha e kids lots of them.. free rent free pbones free money our government hiding this and we are sll paying for it. They say they want a betterife. Well hire one cause o i.d u dont know who they are and starting wage 30 hour. Yep thats right 30.

Absolutely on point. What the Arab world can do though is Demand sanctions on Israel and call out Israel’s brutality and call out the United States. They are still tiptoeing. Every time I watch United Nations interviews. The Arab world is too afraid to call out the United States for this type of genocidal support, and it’s not just the Arab world. I’ve noticed that the entire world is afraid to criticize, especially after the last veto on the Floor of the United Nations vote coming from the United States. And the fact that Britain abstained I just don’t understand why they’re not called out by name and I don’t believe the world should go down to the scumbag level that Israel goes down to buy speaking ill of everyone but themselves, but I do want to see more aggressive talk Saudi Arabia has so much leverage I mean so much leverage I would have to say it’s quite dangerous that even with all the power Saudi has over the west, it doesn’t take advantage of this to protect the holy land, Saudi, needs to get their heads on straight and realize we need to stop fighting Muslims and start standing together Unfortunately Saudi and their population have been acting like they are superiors to the remainder of the air of world even though they are the reason Muslims living across the world have been demonized and we feel that we are always being attacked as Muslims because of the policies of Saudi Arabia on its own people. Just saying.?

To the people who say to the Arabs, why don't you take the Palestinians to your countries? We, the Arabs, each of us consider Palestine as our inevitable country, so it is impossible for us to give up our property and rights. Do not ask this question again because I will ask you, what if a criminal occupied your home? Would you live with one of your members like a coward or would you defend your right?!

oil is worth more protecting instead of innocent people . he was ment to say ..

This is illegal? Their is only one law in ENGLAND ? That is BRITISH LAW ? IF THEY DON'T LIKE IT? GET OUT OF THE COUNTRY? go to some Muslim country ! If they will have them? These people better start behaving themselves, because the European country's or should I say the CHRISTIAN countries? That are willing to put up with them? And their ideology are getting fewer every day? Now their begining to overstep the mark and begining to get on people's nerves? ENGLAND WILL NEVER BE AN ISLAMIC STATE? don't forget you have your JIHADS and we have CRUSADES?

what he doesn't say is that the Arab countries in particular the Gulf states fear Palestinian people for their fierceness and resistance to oppression.

Most refugees don't want to leave their land, so moot point. Just a clever way to say that they don't care enough to ease the suffering of the palestinian people. Also completely ignored the fact that Hamas started the war and had the power to end the war almost immediately by simply surrendering. Also, Palestinians have no right to their land so long as they're allowing terrorists to launch attacks on Israel from their land.

That’s a very political way of saying “we don’t want radicals in our country.”\n They are no advising other countries not to take them - just denying entrance to their own people. Ask Hamas to stop the way - and it will end today

Yeah bro, just push for what you're saying while keep on funding the israel.. \n\nBasically he do not care enough to do anything about it, and here people still think arab saudi is the face of islam country.

Btw that's a polite way of saying, we do not fking want them people ??

So she’s basically saying \nThat if Palestinian people don’t leave out the country they will continue to slaughter them .\nIf the Palestinian people don’t leave \nIsrael screams (ham)and continues to slaughter them . And if any person says stop that’s un humane isreal screams anti semitism ?

People say why won't the Arab nations take in the Palestinians. I ask why do the Palestinian need to leave because a European wants there land?

From reading the comments doesn't seem like people understand that SA is allied with the US and Israel. Minister says they're not going to work with people whose agenda is removing Palestinians from their land but they are in fact doing just that. SA could easily put pressure on the States but has chosen not to. Actions speak louder than words.

Its like saying some black people are struggling with racism and discrimination in white neighborhoods why don’t other black neighborhoods take them in???????????? Some people don’t have the mental capacity to understand wtf is happening

I visited Vancouver. I really liked it. I had people smile and say hi to me. This don’t usually happen in California.

Oh what he's actually saying. We don't give a crap. We want those people there to use as political pawns.

But you do work with the Zionist government stop supporting them and the USA with oil then you can say you did something to help the Palestinian people

Just say the truth, we the people of the world is listening, that you all other Arabic countries are not taking the Palestinaians in. Speak the truth.

Can you imagine that ridiculous 'journalist' saying: 'Are you concerned about the plight of South Africans'. 'Why aren't other African countries taking them'? As if she would be happy to leave the US if a foreign invading force took over her house and mass murdered people in US.

Im just gonna say this. I generally vote Republican. In case anyone forgets, thats who protects the constitution. Furthermore, i can take in a mother with children because women and children are our most vulnerable people. Why don't more Democrats do this instead of waste tax money on all this stuff that does nothing to help people get jobs that will allow them to progress. Also, for any christians out there, we are to treat the alien with the same consideration as we would anyone else. The arab world is blind to the core issue. Hams son Canaan took land that wasnt his and thats the Lebanese people and a bit south. Shem got the blessing from Noah and so the strife is ancient and has no resolution until Christ comes. Sorry to spoil your hopes. Also, the US is about to be destroyed so I'd look into asking Jesus for salvation now. Fellow Christian, pray up the 144k, this will all go down quickly

So they leave then Israel say they can't come back? ?? or if people really wanna help how about the European nations help take them in? Oh wait they dont want them here. So just force them on the arabs nations? Boy oh boy. The hypocrisy. Ukrainians were allowed all over! In american we took them in. Poor palestinians. Sigh.

But why hasn't the Arab world taken action yet? After witnessing 66 days of slaughter of innocent human beings? The whole Muslim world, except Yemen, has no dignity whatsoever. All of these Govts can only speak,that too only some of them are doing. I just wonder how everyone of us is going to answer Allah about each and every innocent life lost, injured and displaced. Just look at our faith, that has weakened to the point that more than 2 billion Muslims feel helpless about the situation. It is obligatory on each and every one of us to perform Jihad and protect the people and land of Falasteen with every drop of blood and bone we have, but we can only say words. This is why we must carry on with the boycott religiously, with regards to whatever we can boycott, except social media ofcourse. And we, as in Muslims must look for ways to pressure our govts to help Falasteen. We must help them financially too. May Allah make us stronger in our faith in Him, provide us with opportunities, strength and courage so that we can all unite together properly to pressurize our govts to make use of our military resources for the reason Allah blessed us with them. Ameen.

This why I don't understand why people say Saudi is on Israels side in any shape or form.

But at the same time the isrealis have the right to their land too it'd just happens to be the same land but that's because the Roman's when they conquered the kingdom of isreal the emperor exiled the jews from the land and renamed it palestine named after the philistines the biblical enemy of the isrealites this was done to mock them I'm not saying the death of Palestinians is alright but at the same time that's war people are going to die but Hamas this is their fault they started this they had 16 years to make palestine a great nation and instead they did the opposite and they started this war I say people of palestine rise up and over throw your hamas oppressors

It is very simple and yet people ask why you say free Palestine.\n?

A simplistic form of saying the Arab countries won't accept muslim refugees.Palestinian people will be sent to Western countries,mostly European,and once again,the lack of solidarity among muslim countries will be evident once again.
