there's a lot wrong here...but someone who comes running behind the president could be a threat and his security detail reacted well to isolate that person and possibly establish his identity first....the Secret Service would have tackled that person to the ground asap,now hypocritical arrogant Americans are making disdainful comments about President Xi,typical of these brainwashed tools

Well that’s not happening. I’m in the outside looking in and that’s not happening.

bless this man as well as palestine

I love Morocco do you love Morocco as well

There’s a lot of military age men in that crowd that look fairly well fed compared to those fleeing oppression. You don’t think terrorist are organizing these things and taking advantage of the poor.

dang well put

in my opinion, becos you have never been in a poor or developing country so you will never understand the situation. You have never been to a consulate to apply for visa to Europe, Australia, Canada or US even you were in a very very very very very rich family in those poorer countries ... so never know why pp wanna move to Canada, US or similar countries .... as a Canadian citizen you are free to go to many countries without a visa, That''s one of the best privileges .... You can work in Canada and retired well in other poorer countries but other pp could not do that ........

who is going to hire all these unskilled people ? this could very well be the beginning of the end.

IF PEOPLE TRIED TO FORCE THEIR WAY INTO YOUR HOME AND DEMAND YOU TAKE CARE OF THEM AT THE COST OF YOUR OWN FAMILY...WHAT WOULD YOU DO???? WELL THE USA IS OUR HOME AND THIS IS INVASION FOLKS!!! STAND WITH TEXAS FOR YOUR FAMILY!!!!

The Saudi stance is a hypocritical joke. They claim to be for the justice of the Palestinian people as well as condemning genocide. Yet they host 4-5 American military bases within their country, purchase arms and weapons from the US (just like Israel), and American military advisors train their army (just like Israel). Not to mention their own genocide they have committed against people in Yemen and the mass slaughter of Ethiopian refugees by Saudi Border guards (trained by the US). Absolute Hypocrite.

Well said. Why enable Israel to behave badly?

Moving to new Zealand is dumb idea as well ?

yeah I had enough of Canada too I would rather live some where else than Ontario as well! Not that I am running away from problems it just harder to find things to grow as self employed person!

The only people I see doing well are the chinese and the jews.

Be careful on our LRT (Rail transit), I wouldnt take it in the evenings, you have to put up with people smoking crack, and what have you right there on the trains, and lots of violence as well...really not safe.

Perhaps we should allow the other foot to have a shoe as well! Are the Israelis not entitled to have their land & live in dignity instead of the daily rocket bombardment? The “weight” will only be removed when the Palestinians lay down there arms & resign themselves to the fact that Israel is here to stay. Choose peace & prosperity over hatred. Choose life over death. The choice is theirs. Am Israel chai!

Gaza has a long border with Egypt that is not at all controlled or blocked by Israel. So all the arabs in Gaza can freely enter and exit their lands as they wish and also unlimited amounts of supplies can be brought into Gaza. \nOh, no. Wait. Egypt has blocked their border as well because they also don‘t want Palestine terrorists in their country. Suprise suprise.

For the white people it’s not only Mexicans coming here it people from different countries as well

We’ve been here since more than a year now and we don’t have a car and we love the pollution free air here and the work life balance. If you live downtown, you don’t need a car as public transport is very convenient. If you don’t want to do things on your own and you definitely need the help from maids and so on, then Canada isn’t for you. It all depends on where you find a house. Very few people in downtown own cars. If you want to live a healthier life, Canada is a good place for that. We came in winters and settled with the help of relatives and thankfully it’s been good so far. Summers are amazing here. Job market is a struggle currently but it’s not permanent. And it is possible to find a job from India if you try for it. If you’re in IT, you don’t need to start from scratch. There are Indian stores almost everywhere and many Indian restaurants as well. You just need to find your place. And it’s an amazing place for plant based vegan people. Food quality is amazing and great safety restrictions. Healthcare also depends on where you live. If you find your people and friends and keep socializing with family, loneliness won’t be there. It’s better to move to a new country when you don’t have kids. \nAlso the accent gradually develops and there’s nothing to worry about. This place is very diverse and there are people with very different accents from all around the world. There is some struggle initially but it all depends on what your priorities are. Life here is very comfortable once you get used to the lifestyle here and the biggest thing is, work life balance and the quality of life. If you want to do things other than your job, this is a good place to do that. Kids also become much more independent here. Rest it all depends on what your goals in life are. Also one of the biggest factors is, if your partner/husband isn’t willing to help with housework or cooking, you can’t survive here. As simple as that. Many factors to consider.

Wow, very well put.?

I used to work for a Canadian guy. He was a wealthy, successful man and had very few good things to say about the current state of things, and he was a success story. He's got 3 well educated, entrepreneurial sons and they're all going to the US.

you are using taxes to pay for refugees staying in canada. but reducing the international students who pays 3 times higher tuitions, and might be become young, well educated labour staying in canada. trudeau is so screwed ., canada is becoming third world country in north america .

Coming from a Canadian who doesn't have a family doctor and has skin cancer the system is strained. If anything happens to me due to not having a family doctor please stand up for other Canadians who don't as well. Immigrants are taking all the doctors.

There is sooooo much wrong with this I can’t even begin. I will say that I work in retail in a small town with no college or university in our town and we’ve had a lot of Indian students come in to ask if we’re hiring with resume in hand and calling the store as well. It’s way out of hand how many students they’ve let in, ridiculous actually.

well that was quick

Do everything possible to keep GDP high... this not gonna end well.

Our government is so incompetent and only reactive. Never proactive and no insight. International students may impact housing shortage but not the other infrastructures (or at a minimal level) like Healthcare, roads/traffic, violent crimes, community services (homeless, drugs,etc), etc. They do not create slums and ghettos. They probably have the lowest rate of criminal records as well. You don't even need exhaustive data analysis for this, just freaking common sense.

Hard to argue with that. He makes his point well.

I agree, Canada is not what it was. Number three on you list, as you said in other Muslim countries, Canada is not one, and I don't wish to hear your call to prayer broadcasted out 5 times a day. I wish you both well.

He answered well

Well then don’t attack Israel

I was a student I had Indian roommates who hardly spoke English. I don't blame them because they want a better life. Who I do blame is governments who create suffering for both Canadians and individuals who come here thinking they will have a better life. End the madness, it's ruining our once well respected academic organizations.The answer is yes. Canadians can't find work, housing and our ERs are flooded. I'm pro immigration but buying c is insane and needs to be stopped. When itizenships through both degrees and diplomas

Well spoken guy

For a two hour drive! Oh well medical science is weird?

hey @febbylyan, great points. totally agree. Let's make friends. I am in Vancouver as well.

Ultimately, this is just a symptom of years or incompetence from the liberals and conservatives. \n\nIt's a shame we don't have an actual political party interested in bettering not just the country but, the people living here as well. These types of discussion just draw attention from actual solutions and are designed to cause controversy

The western world shouldn't be too eager to take them as well. Well said

Why should we care about these students and universities well being?

The Kurds have a right to their language and culture as well turkey news.

Arab nations did take in Palestinians before right? In Jordan and Lebanon? Didn’t the Palestinians assassinate the Jordan King and caused a civil war in Lebanon? I think that’s why they are scared of taking in Palestinians now. \n\nCorrect me if I’m wrong, but when Israel was formed, many Arab nations united and declared war on Israel but lost, hence they lost some land. \n\nI’ve heard many stories as well about many human rights abuses in Arab nations. And some Arabs says Palestinians are not worth the dust on their shoes. \n\nIsrael is definitely not 100% innocent but I feel this could’ve been resolved many years ago if both sides are not filled with hate. This will be a never ending cycle I think which is very sad.

Well, tell the Palestinians to stop bombing the Isrealis and let all the hostages free. Hamas are Palestinians. \nPeople don't even look at the map to see how tiny Isreal is and how large the area is that are Muslim, Arab countries. They just don't want the Palestinians. They are not a nation, people or ethnic group.\nIsreal was there for thousands of years, until Rome destroyed the Temple.

Have you guys decided yet where you y'all moving to? I am planning to move out of the US as well. Have you looked into Oman & Madinah ?
