Good video, however I disagree that Qc is the best province to live. If you dont speak french you wont go far, specially now with Bill 96. \nAlso, rents are not cheap at all in Montréal, and people arent as friendly ( they are cold as the winter), endless construction causes way too much traffic. Of course that is only my opinion as I ve lived here for 13 years ?

I don't hate, I love their culture here in the US but it's their ignorance I highly dislike because they fully know exactly what they are doing and don't care. I can't find a new place to live because they taking over entire apartment complexes, town homes and homes for rent immediately and my Hispanic neighbor that was born in US told me that they get 1000s of dollars when they arrive, new cars and trucks etc etc no bullshit.

So many people I know are barely paying their rent and we got this. Thanks Biden and friends..

Hmmm I wanted to rent a house and the Indian called me and say they don't give their houses to black people?

canadians are doing just fine. first time buyers are struggling all around the world and most likely we are moving towards build to rent globally. The house prices in Canada are jacked up because most of the population is located in just a few cities and peope with spare cash like to invest their money somewhere.

Oh stop. This kind of video is the type of thing that makes “Caucasian’s” not like you. Quit your whining. Born and raised Edmontonian. I’m 52 years old and have never witnessed outright racism against blacks. Yesterday I went to see a doctor. I have fibromyalgia and can barely walk but I had to cause I don’t have a car atm. The waiting room was PACKED. I asked about seeing a doctor and was told “ he’s not seeing patients today”. I asked “what about all of these people”? She said “they’re all immigrants and he is seeing them”. I’ve lived here my entire life but I guess he wasn’t seeing Canadians. I find the black people that complain and cry racism haven’t done much with their life. I have friends that are VERY SUCCESSFUL black people and they never talk like this. You just wouldn’t not hear it out of their mouths. And they live in Edmonton . Hard working, decent people they are. I’m facing homelessness come July 1. Ain’t nobody coming to save me. Rent increase of $430 dollars will do that tho. Everyone is struggling to some degree. Instead of further dividing us, we should be coming together to come up with solutions to help each other. This kind of video does nothing but harm but continue I guess……

Housing is not as affordable as it used to be in Canada. Rents and house prices are far too high. We also have massive food price inflation. Job are better in some areas than others. My beef with the job market in Canada is the wages are at 2019 levels. They need to adjust to 2023 costs of living with all the increased costs. People are friendly in Canada, as it's one of our faults.

Exactly, for the average person in Canada:\nMeaning of life = pay rent + pay taxes + everything else

Yeah let them come in let's see how they like paying 1000+ for rent lol

Funny, my rent keeps going up all around me and my apartment…but they give these immigrants free stuff across the street from me…then there is tons of violence and stealing,.

Get a computer and work online from another country in america - lower rent and cost of living on a better currency

in Canada we have a serious housing crisis, you pay 50 % of your wages on rent. Also even though it's a big country, less than 10% is habitable. Mass immigration is definitely not helping.

Why are immigrants thinking they can just cross over to the United States, get a job, rent or buy a house, eat like kings, be acomdated and have a ferry life here, why do they think it's that simple, wtf is wrong here.

This is why the people below me pay 47 dollars for rent and get food stamps and cash assistance and healthcare. While I pay 2100 dollars plus utilities split between the whole complex which is 400 dollars. I'm paying 2500 dollars for a one bedroom third floor apartment. The family of 7 in the one bedroom beneath pays 47. They are also breaking fire code by having more than 3 people in that apartment. But Biden for the win right?

Open a business and get taxed to death and pay crazy rent...so open in a small town till they view incomes of small town folk via their tax submissions,,,,once they see that small businesses are making money and town folk have good incomes ...the pavement is laid for walmart to come in and crush all small businesses....then they want us to start businesses...ya right.....

Minimum wage in canada is twice the minimum wage in the US.\nSo when you say everything is so expensive here, that is very misleading.\nCanadians can afford rent here but in the US there are so many that can't and they end up homeless or committing crimes.

Thank you Biden & Harris for all the extra COSTS when we have streets full of homeless and mentally ill!! Your administration has spent soo much money we will never get rid of debt. I’m sure all the working poor who cannot afford rent thanks you too!! They are living in their cars and travel trailers. The lap of luxury. Many thanks? NOT

Let them pass… watch them leave in three weeks when they realize there’s no place to stay. I can barely afford a $575 rent and survive on a $15.50 pay

My God! These poor Americans are already struggling for food and rent now. Thank goodness for the Biden administration and democrats. What a bunch of idiots!!! ?? these people have are under a false pretense of the American dream.

This is disgusting. They are all going to be homeless so idk wtf they wanna come here for. We cant even pay the $2,300.00 2 bedroom apartment rent now thanks to Biden, my rent uaed to be $1,500!! And i paid it all thru covid. These fuckers are going to get all konds of government funding and our kids get nothing.. our VETS ARE HOMELESS!! THIS CANNOT GO ON! BRING TRUMP BACK PLEASE

Got to love media and their slanted presentation of everything to while is appears like they are giving you news, they're really telling you how to think on certain issues.\nWhy now? Why are they doing this? Really?\nUh, I don't know. Maybe because America through policies has caused a lot of problems in south America, destabilizing the area, which causes a lot of migration of a lot of refugees. Or how about how America closed the border to even legal refugees, causing them to pile up at the border. How about how they can't survive just sitting there waiting for the border to open, despite how the excuse for Covid as being the reason for why the border was closed is long gone. How about how the refugees are being attacked and victimized constantly while they wait.\nYet, ya, they're the bad people for becoming so desparate to get out of their terrible situation. Also, how about how amazing it is that supposedly balanced news networks never seem to balance out their reports by including such realities of the situation in their slanted propaganda reports.\nAlso, I see lots of mentions of large homeless populations in America as being the excuse of why America can't possibly help.\nYet, no doubt all these commenters likleu blane homeless people for being homeless despite how the employment is at record lows and employers are desperately looking for anyone to work for them. It's almost like they don't see how the effects of employers offering wages too low to support paying rent being mixed with large investment firms buying up all the Housing stock and enacting policies of constantly evicting current tenants to increase rental prices isn't a major component in the problem.\nThe reality is, the housing crises could be easily fixed by raising minimum wage to a living wage and restricting investment firms from using residential housing as investment stocks especially as one of their tactics seems to be to intentionally not rent out large portions of their housing stock to create a shortage in supply, this driving up demand along with rental prices.\nYou can't honestly complain about the homeless crisis while ignoring the fact that corporations are intentionally keeping rentals empty to drive up rental prices. I'm pretty sure that fits within one of the definitions of insanity.

All of the benefits that they're flocking here to receive cast of 75% of their wages to deter them charge them more for rent for food they did not come here legally they should not get it through ride exponentially harder for them to survive in this country for being here illegally I don't work 50 plus hours a week to Fairleigh feed my children and watch these people walk around a brand new iPhone a government-subsidized phone fuck these people

Hey I already need 9 roommates to afford rent so guess I’ll try it with some essays! Good lord somebody set up Chris Kyle 2 miles away from the White House please

Housing projects rent are high rite now

I want to run the way they came!!?? Wondering if they can afford $2,600 a month rent?? I can't I'm sure it cheaper there..

Wait till they come and try to pay the 2k rent out here

The economy is fueled by rent.....the rent is psychotic

canada recently lbanned forgieners from buying homes...to FORCE THEM TO RENT

I live in Toronto Canada and I’m sorry they keep letting people in , no one can afford rent, they say there’s jobs but it’s only for new comers, they get housings money and cars, it’s a sin that they don’t fix our economy first before letting 1000’s of people in , a lot of us are literally living pay check to pay check and barley surviving the immigrants are taking over..

A lot of Americans are moving to Mexico because of the High rent here, which makes housing even less affordable for Mexicans

I’ve worked since I was 14, I’m 40 now & lost my job & in a difficult situation, I’ve sold all my my belongings to pay rent, swallowed my pride & applied for food stamps for the 1st time in my life & was denied while I witness migrants get free health care, food, & shelter all around me. This country has failed me. I’m on verge of suicide from debt, I thought emergency assistance was for instances like this, but it doesn’t seem so.

yes rent, gas, and food is higher than the sky. Thanks bide

It is illegal in Quebec to get a blood test! cant find a clinic to see a Doctor and can find an affordable apartment and I am never selected for the expensive one when I visit them to live in I have no choice but to rent a room at $600/month, this country is collapsing

I’m Hispanic and this shit pisses me off. My family had to grind it out and sacrifice so much to come to the United States the legal and correct way. Now these people think they can stroll in and reap all the benefits. Democrats just want the extra votes by any means necessary…they will even screw over Americans. It’s truly sad. It’s land of the free…not land where everything is free. I live on the border. These illegals immigrants are messing everything up. While some do come to work and I can appreciate that…the rest are living here rent free, being fed with American tax dollars, abusing the medical system, all while not contributing anything to American society. It used to be a safe place to live here…now the crime rates have all increased. Thank you Biden. Must be nice to live north of the Texas checkpoints and body guards. All us common folk just have to fend for ourselves.

Right on Biden right on! I'm Canadian and Trudeau has done the same thing. Rent is unaffordable and all the subsidized housing is being given to Immigrants! It SICKENS ME LITERALLY

Those poor people and America ?? is having problems with everything here like we need to help us so we can help them! It’s a wild world and America ?? is not even able to help our own that live and born here. Kids are starving no where to live. It took me 10 months to find a place to live that’s decent and affordable but it isn’t affordable for 2bedroom apartments at $2700-3k a month just for rent.

They show hundreds of men trying to breach the barriers, then show a couple of women crying, like it's all women and children. How about our homeless and veterans who are worse off than illegals???\nThe Biden admin is actually renting entire hotel buildings to house illegals, but nothing for American citizens who are homeless.

Don't rush the border so quickly. How do you think you're going to pay the 20,000mxn rent for a tiny studio in the US when you're leaving Mexico where rent for a whole house is like 1/3 that

We have inflation , high cost if living rent , food, health care , homelessness look around , our country can not afford to have an influx of people burden what is already a burdened

They want in we want out....smh. The rent is near

bai ji jina de ristdar nhi ne o room rent kida le sakade

This is how they keep our wages down, and rent high.

The reason your rent keeps going up year after year.

Just show them the list of the rent prices on this side of the border.

Let me make it clear. THESE people are NOT Mexican they come from further south.. And fuck we cant even afford fucking rent..

Our government wants to put sanctions on china Russia how about we sanction mexico , Venezuela all southern country's and stop the aid we provide start helping real Americans our homeless I'm Mexican and don't feel bad for these people at all this is why were paying so much for rent need to bus em all up and send there as$es home

Wow they have no clue that Americans are struggling to make ends meet rent going up groceries high and state programs are not what they use to be smdh think where all these ppl would go what they going do for housing food and jobs smdh

When they start making cuts to programs like social security, food stamps, free rent, democrats need to remember they voted for this.

I say let them in let's see if they could afford the rent and the taxes and the insurance and the gas and the food lol

There are many reasons and many who problems. You can’t just narrow this down to 1 of anything. One problem is for decades children were brought up to believe that when they turn 18 or 21 or when they get a full time job or graduate college it’s time to leave the nest . Why? So you can live the life of a bachelor or bachelorett? Party all night or get drunk and do most things you wouldn’t want your parents to know about. Pay outrageous rental fees for some place you’ll never own. Go into debt and in many cases spend years paying off student loans. Yeah, sounds like a good time. The habit should be if parents have room, stay home, save your money and allow your parents to help build that generational wealth. Pay a small rent to help out a little if you want to and your parents accept it. Some people , if they can marry and stay with their family, at least for a few years. This builds a stronger bond with parents and grandparents. The way the last 40 or 50 years has gone has destroyed family and their are many reasons why. Some of the European traditions are smart and we should never have turned away from them
