For 3000 years the Jews have lived there. \nIt’s more so their land than Islamic Palestinians. \nIt was their land before Islam was even a religion.

Unfortunate Truth about Canada as a Canadian who lived here in most provinces due to work. The USA attracts Canadians as a better financial ability & lifestyle and less harsh long winters!

Anywhere immigrants go, will face rising cost of living.

CAnada and other places - the cost of living is too much I hope the economies get better (at resolving, getting around these crises- especially for the lower classes

Israelis also have the right to live in their land too....Why are Arab muslims refuse to recognize Israel's rights since 1948...

Shame on you arabs. You live only for this world. But not about you death

The cost of living is high because we are being littered by masses of resource sucking migrants. Stay away and we’ll be fine.

Palestinian & Israel should live together in that land like before.\n\nAt the time of jesus, Palestinian & Jews live together in the jarusalem, no one own the land, it's their both's land.

It boils down to the Liberal Party, which has been in power since 2015, e.g.:\n- high immigration targets and housing/jobs/healthcare/etc can't keep up.\n- decriminalization/destigmatization of drugs (especially in Vancouver)\n- political correctness, censorship, gender ideology, health mandates, soft on some crimes but harsh on thought crimes, etc.\n\nAs for other things like weather and challenges in finding a job, these were always the case but Canada really started to go down when Trudeau became PM.\n\nI migrated with my family as a teen. Parents (engineer and nurse) couldn't find a job in their field. Mom had to start as a care aide while she re-certify as a registered nurse even though she has a masters and taught nursing in a college in the Philippines. Dad had to settle as an appliance technician.\n\nThe 4 of us lived in a single-bedroom basement suite, but we bought a half-duplex in Vancouver in a couple of years, which would be practically impossible these days.\n\nI make a decent amount niw and own 3 properties, but if I have to buy my house at its current market value ($1.9m), I can't afford it. Even that half-duplex, my parents sold it at 6x during a down market years ago.\n\nThen there's crime and drugs: I've worked in the downtown east side of Vancouver since 2006 and the last couple or so years has been really bad - it's like a zombie apocalypse. Glad I work remote and have moved to a suburb around Vancouver. That said, I'm highly considering moving but it's hard with kids and aging parents.

Uk born and lived in Canada for 55 yrs. Where do I go. New City. same issues.

Trudeau policies raise cost of living

I don't blame them for leaving. They were mislead into coming to Canada thinking that they could get rich easily, but instead found out the cost of living was too high for them. So be warned ahead of time immigrants, if you want to live in Canada, you must have alot of money, or you're going to literally die in the freezing cold.

This is mostly the marginal explanation. What is actually causing the problems in Canada is PRECISELY the expectations of a high standard of living absolutely everyone has, including brand new immigrants. Who as if they were owed a palace immediately begin complaining about the work they have to do and the fact they're not immediately appointed the king of Canada. To put simply, we have an incredibly spoiled population, a population that expects low prices for everything and has a terrible productivity overall and does not wish to work in the kinds of jobs that every economy needs in order to fuel everything else. Food production is the so-called inceptive value. The more food you produce, the more people can consume it, and this in turn flows through the economy to enable all the other kinds of economic activity. We have to bring in hundreds of thousands of temporary foreign workers from Mexico just to be able to harvest. In the past, Canada allowed immigration from all over the world of people who were mostly poor, refugees, and those desperate for a new life. They worked all the time doing every kind of imaginable job in every kind of condition. They built this country with their perseverance and hard work. The immigrants today, are selected on a points-based system, and the idea behind this is that someone with two university degrees, or trained in a profession, even if they don't work in their field in Canada because they're all sorts of barriers to transferring your education, are not very likely to be criminals or antisocial types. Criminals or antisocial types. In other words, Canada has chosen to attract high quality candidates on the assumption that they would be less likely to become criminals, while they in turn, having been picked from the best in their society, arrive in Canada with very high expectations, and discover that actually they're going to have to work in all sorts of other kinds of jobs and will probably not work in their field, even though that's what got them the points to come to the country. The country. This is the brilliant system brought in by Stephen Harper's conservatives, which brings in people with high education, and allegedly high skills, especially high language skills, so the government doesn't have to pay for their language training, but it doesn't consider the fact that these are very often people with other choices, who are not willing to work in construction or farming or service or retail or all those kinds of things that we desperately need workers in. The reason why we can't build enough housing has nothing to do with local governments and property values. It has to do with lack of labor. This education system, for some unbeknowned reason, is absolutely terrible, and provides basically no skills, training or education for the vast majority of high school students such that when they graduate high school, their forced to go to university or college. Since they have absolutely no training. In most parts of the world you finish high school and you have a trade, or you have some skill to begin working, the kids here know nothing. Nothing. Other than emotional safety, intersectional language, and wokeism. On top of that, the government has brought in every kind of environmental restriction and regulation on account of incredibly loud, but actually small minority of enviro lunatics, who most of the time use these environmentalism as a cover precisely for protecting their high property values in very luxurious and special places around the country, and they oppose logging and all sorts of resource extraction under the guise of environmentalism. But it's actually to preserve their special privileged position often in some wilderness or island, where they might be the only one or a handful of families who got lucky to somehow own a property. Property and so they oppose everything on account of environmental reasons. But it's just to keep people out and preserve their own privileged place. This country also as most others suffers from the illness of dishonesty and lack of integrity brought about by a culture of marketers where nothing is the way it is said to be. Everything is a fine print. And we have gotten used to this as normal. We've gotten used to having credit cards, charges, 25% interest, we've gotten used to being ripped off constantly by all the corporations for everything, and nobody complains and they just borrow more and they just bottle it in and now it's finally coming out. Out. People are fed up of the enviral lunatics. They're fed up of people who complain and bitch one moment about the pipeline and then complain and bitch the next moment about the high cost of gasoline when the pipeline is temporarily shut down for servicing. The problem with Canada is Canadians.

Pushed the Palestinians to get Hamas to release the hostages and then surrender then this can stop and maybe talk them into a 2 state solution . If they are smaart they could tried Gaza into a mini Dubai or Las Vegas and live in peace with Egypt and Israel making tourist money . Get over the hate and start making bank!!!!

My family came to Canada 5 years ago. The main reason was because my dad had been busy setting up a branch of his European company here for two years. He wanted to launch this new branch and then retire early. Canada as he knew it was a good option for him to do this. We even had a house long before we came to Canada. And we now live on the west coast of Canada. \n \nFor us, the transition to feeling at home here wasn't particularly difficult. We also had enough experience of what it was like to live in other countries. Canada actually turned out to be a very easy country to quickly settle in. \n \nI've heard that Canadians can be reserved, but my personal experience is completely different. \n \nNevertheless, I got to know fellow immigrants who didn't find it easy to get started in Canada. In my experience, they were not very or only rudimentarily informed about what to expect in Canada. Their expectations were very high and they failed because of the reality of everyday Canadian life. \n \nOthers had similar experiences, but they persevered and ultimately arrived in Canada. Some of my fellow students are international students who are also considering leaving the country because Canada doesn't offer what they were hoping for as a better life here. \n \nThe reasons are really too individual in nature to really generalize. I think there should be a lot more help given to people who are struggling with their fate in Canada, because there are enough programs that they could take advantage of but that they never hear about. \n \nUltimately, it may help if someone just listens to them and perhaps has some advice, no matter how vague it may be. Those who finally arrive in Canada after years of a long odyssey and find this country something like home are, in my opinion, those who never gave up.

Mfs are charging $900 for half bed. I withdrew my admission and came back to my country. Who tf is gonna live in Canada with such a high cost of living ?

Stay in your own country fight for your own country make a country of your own. You came from a country go back there and live make it right

The Palestinians are only suffering bc they elected and support Terrorists who stole the money for their infrastructure and used it against the only country allowing the Palestinians a place to live. Gaza is not Palestinian land it belongs to Israel. It's like saying the Rio Grande valley belongs to Mexico. It is oUrS. Arabs have decided the Palestinians are not worth their effort, except if it is to get rid of Israel.

For years, I've been drawing comparisons between my life in Canada and that of my American friends. Having lived across three provinces—20 years in Ontario, another decade in Quebec (learning French along the way), and a decade in Vancouver—I adopted a modest lifestyle that saw my savings grow to £40k. However, unforeseen circumstances, like my father's passing, led to financial strain. Despite a good job with travel perks, I found myself yearning for a change. Learning about an Ancestry visa, thanks to a colleague, revealed my eligibility due to my grandparents' immigration from the UK to Canada post-war.\n\nAfter gathering paperwork, I took a leap: severance from my job, selling my condo, and relocating to London, England. Initially hesitant due to the GBP exchange rate, I was pleasantly surprised—my savings lasted three years in England. While my childhood dream was the USA, I found London surprisingly affordable. Though my income was a third of what I earned in Canada, in three years, I found a partner, bought a home within five years, and established a savings account for the first time.\n\nLife in London meant exploring the world, negligible worries about expenses, affordable living costs (from phone bills to dentistry), and accessible public transport. The quality of life, housing affordability, and healthcare in the UK surpassed my Canadian experiences. The lifestyle contrasts were stark—five weeks of paid leave versus minimal vacation time in Canada, affordable education, and fewer societal issues like homelessness or drug abuse.\n\nMy advice? Explore the Ancestry visa for a life-altering opportunity; it’s tied to grandparents' lineage and offers a path to citizenship. The UK's supply and demand dynamics, along with its lower taxes, provide a different economic landscape compared to Canada. And here, what you see on price tags is what you pay—no hidden fees. This shift has transformed my life, and the possibilities seem endless. Check out [the Ancestry visa](https://www.gov.uk/ancestry-visa) for more information!

Exactly. Would you leave your house and live with your neighbors? No. You will never so why should the Palestinians give up their own land to the Jews and that too by force

Congratulations Britain ?You did it! You are the living example of genius!

Weren't Palestinians live there freely and freely chose Hamas to be their government ? For past wars, it was not Israel who started it but Palestinians started them. They don't want peace with Israel but to wipe them off from the map

He did answer correctly. Why Palestinians need to leave thier motherland. İt İsrail has to go away far far and far away\n... Very away you know what l mean. AWAY FROM EVERY LİVİNG BEİNGS.

US should take the jew as immigrants to live in the united state away from danger zone from the Palestine land to occupy America

I stopped visiting Canada 40 years ago because of insane or corrupt border control policies. I traveled to Canada from California to record an album for a popular rock star. My crew number 4 people and we had reserves a month for basic tracking in a studio there. We bought our own reels of 3 inch wide recording tape because the studio wanted twice the rate as normal and since my studio was a distributor for the mastering tapes we brought from my own inventory. Each reel of tape was 3 lbs and brought 30 reels. We got to customs and they said we owed money for importing the tape. Normally a reel would have been $180, and customs wanted $38,000 x 20, and would not let us retrieve it to take it back to the US side of the border. How can a tape worth $180 suddenly have duty of $38,000?\nIt was explained to me as the Potential Value of the tape which meant AFTER a hit song was recording in it. Most recordings are total losses and the tape cant used on a new project even if properly bulk-erased. They expected me to pay on the spot $760,000 in duties. I gave up and left the tape with them. I called the artist and said we could not do the project in Canada and we went back to California. The artist came to us a few months later and the result was a minor hit, and probably barely made its production cost since the label only distributed it in Canada. I talked to an international trade lawyer about what happened and he said customs officials were wrong in Canada but they are given full latitude with no appeal so his advice was never take anything over the border that I did not mind being confiscated. Sometimes they would let it in because it was going back out in a month, but likely they sold it off and pocketed the money. The US is corrupt on a federal level but Canada is corrupt on the local level. I moved out of the US 24 years ago have a much higher quality of life than is even possible in the US, and live very cheaply. Total cost of living with a very active social and cultural life impossible to duplicate in the US which as some of the least options for culture. And my cost of living is $1500 a month, less than utilities alone for one house in California, and that is for 2 people. Last month for example I attended world class opera, ballet and symphonies 9 times, and went out to dinner, in jazz clubs or dance clubs, visited12 top museums, and it was still under $1500 for the month. A pair of tickets to the MET in NYC for lower grade performance, sets, orchestra ad theater, was $1800!! $600 for tickets to drama for 2. Here there 237 drama theaters within walking distance of my city center home, and can walk anywhere at any time of day and be safe due to VERY low crime rates. Free medical is good. I am not citizen but still I had an operation and 10 days in a vip single room for $5300 and despite my insurance I had been paying back in California $824.month, it was going to cost me out o pocket $500,000 and one day in a recovery 12 bed room, and require paid nursing attendant for 30 days. The results were great and was treated like king.\nCanadians have lost control of their government but Americas are screwed regardless, with lower than international standards for everything, with crime, corruption in Washington, extreme cost of living, no access to culture, few if any safe parks. My adopted city is not only far more beautiful than any US city, my GF can walk, alone, anywhere in a city of 7mil at any time of day through any of the 600 beautiful parks open 24/7..at 3am. There are no homeless, and 80% of those over 20yo own their home clear of debt. No college debt despite twice the % of people having degrees. The rest of the world caught up and has surpassed the US and Europe in quality of life. \n\nI have only been back to the US 5 times in 24 years and each time I am shocked by how much the entire society has declined while most of the world outside of Europe, Canada, US, UK or Australia have dramatically improved.\nEvery year since 2008 more Americans leave the US to live elsewhere than legal immigrants arrive.

I lived in canada for 6 years , the worst 6 years in my life!!! , funny thing is they deported me ??? the best thing that happened to me

Why would you want to leave Indonesia for Canada? Crime's not so bad in Indonesia. More violent and drugs crime in Canada, I think. And speaking at least for myself as a White person, I think the police in Indonesia are a lot nicer and more fair. Used to live in Germany too but that was 40 years ago before the EU tyranny and migration horrors.\n\nGood for you though even though your channel is not about politics to have mentioned the censorship and cancel culture.

Anyo e talking about facilitating the refuge of the Palestinians is living in an Israeli dream. \nIsrael is conducting a nakba!\nThe Arab world does not want a nakba to happen.!

Only reasonable response to that stupid question. No one wanted certain refugees during ww2. Does that mean they didnt deserve to live?

But they dont want to live in peace,they want to take their neighbers land and killing their civilians ?

He is lying , no ARABS want them no where with the excuse of a piece of land for their lives

You are spot on. I was born in Canada and I have lived in every province. Everything you said is accurate. Sadly, Canada was not always like this. Hopefully we can find our way again.

Perhaps if they quit killing their neighbors, they could live on “their” land in peace

If avery journalist put himself in Palestinians position we will see much less stupid questions \nImagine you are peacefully living your life have a house and a job and family , you got bombed has to leave and the world instead of calling for a ceasefire , want you to live in tants as a refugee in an other country for the rest of your life , Palestinians are humans they have deginity

YES, We will help the Palestinians ?live in their land.

Yes! Why should Palestinians leave? They deserve to live in their own lands in sovereignty and dignity.

It’s not their land. It’s called Israel and has been for about 3,500 years.\nOther Arab countries don’t want Palestinians because they cause too much trouble. They were in Jordan and got kicked out; Egypt and got kicked out. \nThere are dozens of muslim or Arab countries all over the Middle East - and one Israel. Here’s an idea - Palestinians should live in one of many of the Arab countries and leave Israel in peace.

As an immigrant born in Mexico and living in Canada (Québec) for the last 32 years I'm certainly going back to Mexico once I retire. Cost of living is awful and taxes are too high to consider staying in Canada.\nOur current Prime minister Justin Trudeau did help to make this much worse. Trudeau spends our money like crazy...and the worse is that he is telling Canadians that he does not care about it and he will spend much more. Better to leave?

High cost of living - taxes, ridiculous real estate market, lower pay, little to no summer (all of it spent under construction) terrible drivers and a government at the root of it all and chunk of the population that feels obligated to vote for that terrible government because of their LGBTQ+ě%#@>; status or that are looking for handouts.

They don't live to take refugee. Because their recs ?

So the agenda of a book (not allowing infidels to take land without fighting back) is above the agenda of saving lives of Palestinians…. They can’t fight themselves so they’re forcing Palestinians as their pawns to fight and die…. Hamas gets all its support from Arabs, and when Israel hits back and Palestinians die - these people attack from the podiums - Israel is under attack from all sides! If it does something - it gets attacked if it doesn’t do anything- then obviously it gets attacked! Very clever strategy by the Arab world

Palestinians have right to live on there land . Palestinians have right to defend itself from occupation extremist. \nFree Palestine.

Well...the USA has plenty of spare land...why not offer it to the Israelis to live in Peace????

Canada was a great place to live until a Marxist government took over under the leadership of Justin Trudeau

We are in such a dark age that people (who are pretending to be highly educated) need to be taught that a group of people deserve to live in peace in their own land ... \nThis reporter question is extension of the Zionist propaganda that trying to dehumanize our Palestinian brothers... The answer of the minster was clear and direct but I was there I would ashamed her for carrying such Nazi propoganda and exposed her so she won't dare to repeat that stupidity anymore

You can do that but yet you choose no to you don't want your soliders to be fighting you choose to stay silent rather I myself can't even imagine for what situations are u saving your army for? I hope not the day of judgment .What goes around comes around and you'll also pay the price like Palestinians And you as being arab you can pledge you govt and call court of Law against Israel because no price can pay the lives of Palestinians. You ppl can erase Israel in a second but you still dont do anything. Simple as that

Palestinian have their right to live on their own land. The occupiers make all these trouble to Palestinians. The REFUGEES that then changed to become Terrorrists and Democrazy

I only can afford to eat one meal a day. I’ve been living like this for 4 years.

What are you talking about?! This is so devoid of any and all facts, it's literally laughable. We have a housing crisis because too many people want to move here. DEMAND is WAAAAY up, thats why the housing is expensive (see how that works?). We have been ranked second best country to live in, only beaten by Sweden. We are the 24th most ecpensive place to live (not exactly on top). This guy needs to learn how to research. Wow. Dude, I think it's time to go back to school.
