Foolish Europeans. How did Islam get into Europe in the first place? Don't they know how intolerant these guys get when they seem to be having the numbers? London has fallen, France has fallen, several European nations will still go the same way for allowing these terrorists in the making to come into their countries.\nThank goodness for Victor Orban of Hungary who has put these Islamists in their places. How dare you come to another man's land and try to carve out the country you ran away from in that land? Plain rediculous. You want sharia go back to the hellhole you came from.

No Arab nation wants the Palestinians because the Palestinians destabilised every place they were placed as refugees.

Canada is the best place to live except for the cost of living, poor health care, massive government and corporate corruption, homeless drug addicts, broken justice system, and lack of proper infrastructure.

You Arab must defend Palestinian Muslims ?? Not only Arabs also non Arabs we all Muslims need to unite for Palestine ?? is this not our holy Place too ?? If all Muslims countries reunite and act action against Israel he will not do this freely barbaric and slaughtering children’s our children’s and doing genocide completely ethic cleansing , he is doing coz he knows all we Muslims are not united for our Palestinian brothers , Allah will Ask more the one who has more power and authorities

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.

Ruined by the worst Prime Minister is history in under 10 yrs, there is no such thing anymore as a Canadian only on paper….awful place with no identity

I was born in Canada more than 50 years ago... it has become an unhappy, bitter, angry place. It is a horrible standard of living. Anti-business, terrible health care, HIGH taxes, HIGH cost of living, bitter cold, long winters, DECREASING EXPECTED LIFESPAN.

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.

Why are they creating somuch problems. In Spain why do they want the gov to ban dogs on public transport. Whether they like it or not when youare in the host country who take you in. Live with it you dont expect the country culture change because of you because of your believes.dont like it can always go to a place why the culture and believes are in line with you. Also there is no such things as claiming an area a muslim area in the western country.

There is no such place called Palestine

Nice and well thought out video. Even though I don't agree with everything, you said it in a considerate way and shared your honest experience. It was just unfortunate that you did not get enough time to settle down. Moving to any new place is extremely tough and especially when you are moving to a completely new city. I live in Germany and I love it here. My wife and I came here to study, but my wife came first and she had a really bad first 6 months in winter. Things got much better later. We Indians miss house help so much in early days, but the fact is you have so much free time here and things are well organized. You don't waste time in traffic, you don't have to go 10 times to a government office to get work done, you don't have to sit with kids everyday to do homework, kids can come and go to school on their own, there is little dust so houses don't get dirty every day, everything is planned and no one is visiting your house suddenly. So in reality, doing the house chores aren't such a big deal because you have a lot of time.

Rather than to question the war crimes of Israel, the reporter places blame on the arab world for not opening their borders. To add to that, the last time that happened, israel took over those resepctive countries.

Did it ever occur to the criminal who is promoting this question that Palestinian don't wanna be refuge in the first place?!!

While I understand the sentiment of my land my home why should I leave I would save myself and my family to take refuge in save places away from danger right now and after the war is done I would comeback to my land we need to be sure we have a home to comeback but we also need to be alive to be on that land ?

It was a really nice place in the 90s even if you were poor

When the racists say ‘why don’t so and so take them’, they talk about Palestinians like they’re just things you can remove and place in any empty space. \nAre those our average citizens? ?

Hamas has been sending rockets into Israel for years and years now Hamas started this Israel will finish it. As a Christian I pray for the innocent on both sides especially the children ? love and forgiveness is the only answer violence only begats more violence. This world is not our home we can live anywhere and pray anywhere we don't need holy lands, or holy places we have a deep and meaningful loving relationship with God our Father in heaven, we have a peace and a joy that this world cannot give. Come to Jesus he's your messiah.

Exactly why are they having to be refugees to begin with…. Why are they being kicked out of THEIR homeland!!!! The minute other places take them in the Israelis have won. That is what it’s all about land grabbing

Ya Allah truth spoken Saudi's Prince , reporter one Question to you ,should you leave your place and land where you live , with out any rishen , why must Palestinians leave Palestina and for who , what Saudi's Prince says is true,stop the wars , murdered, attacking, annexatie, innocent Palestinians, Gaza Muslims and little children, no any fors to leave Palestina, and Gaza , is Your land , absulutely Palestinians, Gaza Muslims have right on their land with own statement , and big issue for Israëliërs ,the road what Israëliërs have make is in Palestinians territory , think about no any dominantion to Palestinians more from Israëliërs Allah hu Akbar, Allah is Great, Sukria Prince of Saudi Arabië so soft ,clear openly spoken message Masha Allah Subhan Allah Ameen

Did u ever ask who was the root of the problem for the Palestinian to leave in the first place

***National Post***\nMuslim leaders should've condemned Hamas instead of fomenting hate\nIf they had spoken out against terrorism, their advocacy of the Palestinian cause would carry much more weight. \n\nPart of the reason we are seeing division, hatred and unrest in the streets of Montreal, Toronto and other communities across Canada is due to the collective failure of Muslim leaders, in Canada and around the world, to condemn the despicable Oct. 7 terror attack by Hamas on Israeli civilians. \n\nIt was a horrific and cowardly attack by a terrorist group — not by all Palestinians, Arabs or the wider Muslim community. It should have been condemned and contained immediately. Muslims who pride themselves as followers of a peaceful religion should have empathized and consoled the grieving Jews. \n\nThere was a lot of time to do this. There was a lengthy delay between the attack and Israel’s ground offensive in Gaza. Instead of taking this time to condemn Hamas’s slaughter, Arab and Muslim politicians and government leaders promoted anti-Jewish hate to shore up their political support. This is nothing less than encouraging antisemitism. \n\nMuslim political and religious leaders, barring rare exceptions, chose to contextualize, equivocate and, in most cases, justify Hamas’s barbarity. What we have, as a result, is widespread hate bordering on violence in Canada — a country where communities have historically lived side-by-side in peace. \n\nThe situation got worse due to the statements made by community leaders like Amira Elghawaby, Canada’s special representative on combating Islamophobia, who did not hide her partisan and divisive outlook by clearly siding with the protesters on Canadian streets, characterizing them as “peaceful demonstrations,” even though we have seen people supporting Hamas, calling for genocide against Israeli Jews and harassing and intimidating Jewish-owned businesses. \n\nOn Twitter, Elghawaby approvingly cited a quote from a Toronto Star column reading, “The stories I have heard are both fantastical and true. Muslims (and others who silently sympathize with the loss of Palestinians lives) are being disciplined, maligned, isolated and targeted at work.” \n\nInstead of reaching across the aisle and consoling the Jewish community, she has instead chosen to focus her public comments on rising Islamophobia. \n\nSeriously? Remember the Muslim family who were killed in a hate-related attack in London, Ont., a couple years ago? All communities, including the Jewish community, across the political and religious spectrum unambiguously condemned that hate crime. And it brought a sense of relief and security to Muslims in Ontario. \n\nRemember how, after more that 50 people were gunned down while worshipping at mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, in 2019, political and religious leaders from all faiths stood behind Muslims and consoled them? \n\nAlso, after the Quebec mosque attack, almost all communities in Canada chose to stand with Muslims. There were images of people in Alberta who formed a human chain to protect Muslims. Similar scenes were witnessed elsewhere in the country. Jewish community leaders spoke out, loud and clear, in support of Muslims and against hate and bigotry. \n\nBut that is not what Elghawaby did. Instead, she makes it sounds as though it is Muslims who are the victims, while failing to mention the barbarity unleashed on Oct. 7. This is not leadership. This is not her mandate. Her job is to promote tolerance as enshrined in Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. \n\nNow imagine a scenario in which Muslims did what they ought to have done in the first place: condemned the Hamas attack, sided with the Jewish victims and dissociated themselves from terrorism. Their voices for the Palestinian cause would have carried much more weight. \n\nWhat we are seeing instead is a rising tide of anti-Jewish hate on our streets, promoted and peddled by Muslim leaders themselves, either by gaslighting the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, or wallpapering it with the political colours of the Palestinian cause. \n\nLet us all come together, not to let hate be poured onto the streets of Canada, but to stand united for a secure and prosperous country. \n\nNational Post \n\nRaheel Raza and Mohammad Rizwan are members of the Council of Muslims Against Antisemitism.

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

To me, Canada was JUST a staging place to move to the US.

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.

Only people dumb enough to move to Canada are poor 3rd worlders expecting to not end up at timhortans living with 10 other suckerrs in an apartment. Rich or skilled workers avoid this place cause pay is a fraction of what it is in the states.

hmmm, unaffordable housing, high cost of living, crappy weather, hard to make friends, increasing crime rates, tyrannical government etc. etc.... what's there not to love about this place.

At least immigrants have the option to move back to more affordable places. What about Canadians who are stuck here?

As Brit who emigrated to Canada 30 years this is not new. When i moved here in 1993, my Canadian friends were complaining about how bad things were. It's good and normal when citizens don't just accept the status quo. Living 30 miles from the US, I can tell you that it's av wonderful place to live and raise a family.

Live in a $3000 rental or buy a house mortgage life for $1 M for 30 years. And work in multiple jobs.....this is the most real estate bubble place on planet ????\n\n\nIn the hoax lie of supply demand its now a WORST housing bubble in world!!!\n\n\nAnd no good manufacturers no good jobs ..no quality technology nothing in the name of economic progress housing account for 50% of gdp while usa its just 15%

13:00 I'm starting to dislike the gloomy, snowy weather more and more as Canada is just a terrible place to do anything after 5pm during the winter season Nov-Apr.

Canada is a place for freeloaders and lazy people. We get lots of “free” stuff; don’t need to work much and the government tries to cover the difference. The people with ambition have moved out long ago.

New Sub — I agree with you 100% on your take on Canada’s politics ( and I hope that you will soon rid yourselves of the perpetual teenager who has been “leading” Canada into a very dark place)…\n\n** Also, it’s nice to hear someone else who shares my opinion about how friendly Germans are! I spent two years in Germany ( attending Gymnasium ), and found the German people to be so very warm-hearted and welcoming….I don’t know how they got the reputation for being “cold” & unfriendly— as it’s simply untrue ❤

Canada is turning into a Communist Country, hence people are heading towards places where they will have more freedom.

Canada lacks 5.3m places to live, may that be an apartment or a house.

Lucky for them to have a place to go back to. As a citizen thinking of moving to the nearest tent city or the subway ? ?

The UK here is getting 700,000 pa arriving including 35,000 pa by small boats without visa etc. But the cost of rents/mortgages are crazy and way higher than Canada in equivalent places and there is not the option usually of driving in from a cheap place far out of big cities with big basements and out buildings. Also train and bus fares and household energy costs are all 3 times that on Continental EU.

To people looking for a livable city, try checking BGC in Manila, Philippines. I'd dare say it's the best cosmopolitan place to live in under $1500.

95 percent of the immigrants we bring in dont have experience building homes and the ones that can build homes stay in their countries because they get paid alright. Canada isnt a great place anymore, very very very unaffordable.

I'm an Indigenous Canadian and I don't want to live here. Canada is a good place to live for rich people though. If you come from a poor family it truly sucks. Can't wait to finish university and move out of here. ?

? it's not only immigrants leaving. I was born and raised here and eventhough it was great growing up, I will miss what this country was. There are far more affordable places to live with much better quality of life. I feel sorry for future generations who will never know what it will be like to live debt free.

Brampton is the best place for international students!!

When the median wage cannot afford to rent a place that doesn't cost 40-50% of their income life is already over before even started

Limited job openings. The world think that the place has streets paved with gold.

In Lérida, Spain, Muslims want to pass a law to ban dogs in public places, because their supposed prophet Mohammad told them that dogs are devils, some dogs have been poisoned by Muslims there, and who knows where else. The definition of religion should be examined and changed. If it harms others it is not a religion

For some reason I always pay $4.75 to $5.50 _for 4 litres of milk,_ not for a mere 2L carton.\nAnd I and most people I know have cheaper places to live than those overpriced ones which must be relentlessly advertised in order to rent them out.\nAnd I live in one of the cities you described as the worst.?Am I doing something wrong??

I lived in Toronto, Hamilton, and St.John's in the 90s. Canada was a strong country back then, and government was fair and hardworking. We all could see Canada growing into one well developed country some day. And then in the 2010s I went back to visit twice, many once crowded places in downtown Toronto and vancouver were deserted. Shops closed. Beggars everywhere even in cold winter days. People are still very polite, but I could see the hopelessness in their eyes. Like everyone is too busy to care for others because they have trouble looking after themselves too. \n\nI cry for you Canada.

London has become a very dangerous place for Jews English and other religions shops are refusing to serve Jews and bus drivers are refusing to let children on their buses holiday makers in London are various parts of the world have been attacked by these people climbing they are doing justice in this country this is not their country this is the UK England if they wish to live in their perfect world why don't they go back to where they originally come from and stop interfering with the running of the UK England this is not their country how dare they the mayor of London should crawl from underneath his stone and also the government and put a stop to this this is causing conflicts and we will eventually run out of control

Dafuq... ?This what you get for your sh1tty tolerance. Had y'all put them in their place in time, there wouldn't have been such an issue.
