I have lived in Canada for 13 years and still call it home. I believe that the new government will improve the situation in 2025.

He almost sounded like he believed his own rehearsed nonsense ?

The Liberals (I believe it was the Senate Leader) who say they are concerned about the Universities losing money if foreign enrollment is reduced and they apparently have no concern about the devastating effects on housing, etc..

When war starts we strongly believes that mighty china will target usa mighty china no.1 enemy?. And then Canada also??...\nI notice people there is racist???...\nFor me I would wait till mightychina

War and economics experts believes that ww3 is around the corner??.. so we suggest that no point for you all to rush your money to bankruptcy areas and War areas anymore???..\nIf iam hkong iwill better put my money on solid pure golds or other metals like silver? Copper? Bronze? Aluminium? Stainless Steel? Iron?or in bank of china or other better government control banks in china and hkong. better guarantee??.. not foreigner banks anymore maybe Singapore oub? Ocbc are good sg banks

I'm not keen on more Arab Palestine immigration or student visas, and since Oct 5th, I'm very concerned about more Mid Eastern Islamic radicals maybe entering.\nThe alternative to blanket restrictions would I think, to improve immigration scrutiny of their political and social histories to clear them for entry.\nThe thing is, do we even have the economy and housing to support more immigration in general.\nI do believe the arguments in this video, coming from a university town myself.

I can't believe the CBC allows viewers to comment

i dont believe in the american dream...i dont believe in the hi level of freedom of speech or freedom of religion we have here..i dont believe in the philosophy of multi culturalism which america is founded on...i like one cuisine, one language, one ethnicity, one kind of music, one religious heritage, one kind of dance, one kind of clothing, one kind of hairstyles, one kind of look...but most americans like having a variety of cuisines etc...i do not...i think each country should only have one culture and one cuisine.... i would ban foreign cuisines and foreign holidays and ban mentioning foreign holidays and ban practicing foreign religions... thats why im moving out of usa asap : )

Mr.Andrew Chang is puppet, greedy and selfish journalist, and i checked his reports most of them targeted and execrated report, please don't believe him.

“Most productive”. I believe so… I went to school with some people from Indian and they were incredible, very smart and studious. I loved them… but we should NEVER forget to put Canadians first. I know a lot of moms with older kids who are sending their children to study in Europe or in the US, because they can’t get a spot in Canadian universities. They were all born and raised here… :( Canadian are becoming “international students” abroad themselves because they can’t find a space here. This has to stop. \n\nThese people are just drying ice with a towel… bringing tons of international students and leaving our own behind will backfire, wait..it already has ?

Yes. If you want to see it to believe it, come to Surrey, BC. There are so many brown students on the buses that you’ll have to wait 1-2 hours for an 80-person bus that has a space. Plus all the jobs are being taken, and I’m seeing so many homeless people on the streets now. No shelter space, and there won’t be maybe ever. All the parks are completely filled with tent cities. This is a huge disaster, bad enough that Trudeau should be removed from office.

I find it hard to believe that Canadas schools are so good that students line up to attend. Sounds like a money making scheme. The degrees and diplomas aren’t worth the paper they are written on.

Al Quran Roman English translation from MUHAMMAD marmaduke pictall.(The mankind forget search to way of heaven-1)\n3:84\nSay (O Muhammad): We believe in Allah and that which is revealed unto us and that which was revealed unto Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes, and that which was vouchsafed unto Moses and Jesus and the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and unto Him we have surrendered.\n3:85\nAnd whoso seeketh as religion other than the Surrender (to Allah) it will not be accepted from him, and he will be a loser in the Hereafter.\n3:86\nHow shall Allah guide a people who disbelieved after their belief and (after) they bore witness that the messenger is true and after clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty) had come unto them. And Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk.\n7:21\nAnd he swore unto them (saying): Lo! I am a sincere adviser unto you.\n7:22\nThus did he lead them on with guile. And when they tasted of the tree their shame was manifest to them and they began to hide (by heaping) on themselves some of the leaves of the Garden. And their Lord called them, (saying): Did I not forbid you from that tree and tell you: Lo! Satan is an open enemy to you?\n7:23\nThey said: Our Lord! We have wronged ourselves. If thou forgive us not and have not mercy on us, surely we are of the lost!\n2:50\nAnd when We brought you through the sea and rescued you, and drowned the folk of Pharaoh in your sight.\n2:51\nAnd when We did appoint for Moses forty nights (of solitude), and then ye chose the calf, when he had gone from you, and were wrong-doers.\n21:51\nAnd We verily gave Abraham of old his proper course, and We were Aware of him,\n21:52\nWhen he said unto his father and his folk: What are these images unto which ye pay devotion?\n21:53\nThey said: We found our fathers worshippers of them.\n21:54\nHe said: Verily ye and your fathers were in plain error.\n21:55\nThey said: Bringest thou unto us the truth, or art thou some jester?\n21:56\nHe said: Nay, but your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, Who created them; and I am of those who testify unto that.\n4:117\nThey invoke in His stead only females; they pray to none else than Satan, a rebel\n‐‐‐'‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐^‐

I am Chinese ethnic was born in Höng Kong but moved to Singapore in 1984. \nAt that time I could have migrated to Canada or Australia. I am an electrical engineer with a master’s degree and have worked in the States for some time before moving to Singapore. I could have settled in the States as well if I really wanted to. But having studied and worked in the States for some time, I realised it’s not my place. Culture difference, racial discrimination, political ideology to name just a few. So I moved to Singapore which had a job for me. I have no regrets. The country has a very efficient government, housing, medical, education needs are pretty well taken care of, not perfect but good compared to many developed countries. Crime rate is among the lowest. I believe If you have the talents you can try to apply for immigration here. Also Höng Kong which has a similar standard of living is also offering good opportunities to world talents to settle over there.

I totally agree that this country will break your spine and test your ultimate willpower. Me and my wife came here 5 years back and we decided that we will shut ourselves like a tortoise. Forget about savings and forget about everything else. Only and only one goal we had in mind is that we will live in the basement and earn top dollars. Just to give you a perspective. My first pay was 19 dollar per hour and my current pay is 87 per hour. My wife started with 16.5 per hour and now earning 69 per hour. Even though our income grew substantially, we never raised our expenses. Answer to all problems in Canada is income. Now after 5 years we bought house worth of 1.4 M. We moved out of basement and felt immense pride. We paid 37% down payment and 3 banks approved our mortgages in a heartbeat. No debt at all. We paid up our car in full. Just a regular new suv nothing fancy. \nEveryone is different, we all are unique and I believe you took a right decision. Each and every word you said in the video is true. \nWe cried , we fought , we felt that our life is ruined but we both thought that ek bar to Canada ko harana hai. Itni income generate karenge ki sala CRA shock ho jaye progress dekh ke. We literally cried when we saw our YTD on Dec 31,2023. We crossed 300k and lately to be honest we got a kick in living in basement. People around us thought of us as a regular poor couple but from inside we knew that we are earning in top 3% of Canadian population. \nI would highly recommend that understand the job market of Canada. Work on your soft skills. Power on the language is MUST. It is even more important than your technical knowledge. Make meaningful connections. Stay away from negative people. Once you understand your inner strength then now body can stop you.\n\nThanks for this amazing video. Love the narration and information.

Lots of people don't believe this.

She talking about Vancouver now just imagine Toronto. High prices of houses is just plain mismanagement on behalf of CMHC. Which I believe have no clue what they are doing.

C’mon , the guy with a Hitler moustache thinks we’re going to believe a word he says

Toronto, Vancouver are used by Chinese Triads like 14k and such to import the materials for Fentanyl from China and produce the final product there before delivering it to the US. Government officals got paid since 1990s so they can do in Canada whatever Business they want, there are many good documentaries about that. While many believe the most drugs for NA come from Mexico, Canadians would be badly surprised.

Religious countries are backward countries,many of us believe the existing of God but God doesn't expect only religion from us but he expects from us good deeds in our every day lives.

The way his expressions changed when he realised what the interviewer was trying to do here when she mentioned the word refugee. Very impressive how he explicitly explained what he believes and what is correct

It's not their land. The more you tell this LIE the more people are going to begin to believe it !!!

Or you can save money and go to Confession if you are Catholic. I believe most depression is because we ignore the fact, we sin.

well dont move to vancouver its way worse. till we take canada back nothing will change\nps vancouver is the hollywood of the north\ni believe what is going on is we have become slaves and we arnt a 1st world country now we a 3rd world country thanks to justin

If you believe, as I do, that the CPC has an excellent shot to carry the next federal election, start asking your CPC riding association about their gun law plans. The NRA-funded CCFR and NFA meet weekly with the CPC leadership and policy people. The CPC is on the record as seeking to significantly relax gun control in Canada. The CCFR and NFA seek open and concealed carry of handguns, getting rid of background checks, getting rid of protections for battered women and ex-es. \nFrankly, the people in Canada who want less gun control have no choice but to vote CPC. (They can’t vote Liberal, Green, NDP, BQ.) Thus The CPC gains no vote by appealing to this demographic. By enacting USA gun laws, the CPC can only increase the murder rate, not their vote.

I think you leaving Canada is a good move for you and your family. Why? Because it's unreasonable for you to expect an entire nation to change to accommodate your personal choices. \nAs an aside: If your faith in Islam so strong, profound and ingrained, why do you need a reminder to prayer five times a day? \n\nWhen you say you believe what you believe and others are free to believe as they want- why are you seeking to force your beliefs on others why wanting the call to prayer to be broadcast everywhere? \n\nI hope you surrender your Canadian citizenship when you leave and find the lifestyle you prefer in a Muslim controlled nation.

This is the problem in 2024 this stupid middle eastern people trying to feed us with their stupid ideology and belief ? ONE OF THE MOST STUPID IDEOLOGY TO EVER EXIST I'LL RATHER BELIEVE IN FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER ?

To Americans / Westerners here in the comments that have never been to the Middle East, or to those who had ZERO idea how educated most Arabs are—whether in Arabic or English—I just want you to realize that it is cultural programming that you are currently overcoming. The notions you were forced to believe by a biased media (& Hollywood movies) to think that all Arabs sound like Borat or have some weird terror tendency. \n\nAll of that nonsense, all of that propaganda, was crafted to serve a careful agenda. A dehumanization agenda whose purpose you can finally unravel and understand. We are owned by an invisible hand serving both a powerful entertainment industry & military complex. It is one entity (that also ties into finance) and it feeds you the information it wants to. There are many such deprogramming wake up calls you’ll have when escaping the bubble. One way I did this was with my travels to Muslim countries. Including: UAE (2015), Morocco (2017), Iraq (2023), and Saudi Arabia (2022) for Hajj.

That land is The Jewish Israeli peoples land …A very old book ….of Historic proportions ….600 yrs.older than the Quran …for Even mohommad took from that great book of God The Creator in The Heavens …writting he put into the Quran ….that liar ….The Almighty will\nDeal with him …No worries there …..but God The Father in Heaven not Allah …but Abba yes ,Jehova yes ,and his son Jesus Christ died on the cross as the great Blood sacrifice for you ,for me ,for everyone ….so you may “Ask now for forgiveness your sins to Jesus for his blood now fir all Humans “Atonement of sins “ never another Blood Sacrifice is necessary now …God The Father Almighty gave Israel,Jordan,Gaza strip ,parts of Iran ,Turkey ,Syria too i believe in the Inheritance God said to Abraham Ishmeals father and Isaac’s Father ….God Said ,”I will Give to your Bloodline thru Isaac and his son Jacob …these lands from me as a\n“Never ending Ownership Covenant with Me “ he said it to Abraham !!! Why because …Gods Son Jesus would be born through Isaac,Son Jacobs bloodline ….those men Jesus would be brought up through Joseph Mary the virgins Husband …Jesus the Messiah God The father would send to be born onto earth …that is not just all …God In Heaven changed Jacobs name to Israel ….in the bible /Torrah ….maybe its called history …Because the bible is a great book of True History that is about about “Our Lord and Savior “ Jesus Christ “ its “His Story” we must never forget and keep praising him for ….If he had not been born before his blood sacrifice on the cross …all those who sinned would all go to help with the devil ….citon for sure …God the Father said ,”No you may ask my son Jesus for forgiveness and you shall be forgiven and not fall into hell with the devil …Jesus has all dominion over who goes to hell and who is saved …God the father gave that to him …If you ask fir forgiveness and Sin no more like that Jesus said he will forgive you and you can be allowed in his golden city with jems abd golden streets firever ….you never die !!! Ever ❤❤❤❤❤❤?

Can you believe that Canada has built the biggest bank in Cambodia for Cambodia ? It’s a dream system that we are not allowed to use.

You’re wrong about the economic information on Canada. Canada is actually vastly wealthy….\n But they keep building banks and other establishments for communist countries. You wouldn’t believe what they’ve done for communist Cambodia an$ the Canada bank in that country.

I have been deeply puzzled since the age of 13 (50 years) how on earth someone can 1) believe in an imperceptible supreme being who imposes inexplicable obligations, or 2) want to be just like everyone else, rather than following your own innocent inclinations

I think that if you would like to live in canada you should adhere to the value system we have here and make effort to assimilate. \nThat is not the case with many Muslims who form their own neighborhoods and isolate them selves in a tribel manner. \nEveryone is free to believe what tgey want to believe but be a part of this country and the value system that we have here

I lived in Western Europe, Japan and at the moment, Canada. I lucked out getting a well paying job in Vancouver when I moved back a few years ago and my average tax rate is actually the exact percentage you stated in the video - 28%, which includes income tax, pension and employment insurance. I'm actually doing better in terms of quality of life now but I do miss being able to travel around Europe for cheap. (e.g., quick train ride to Paris for the weekend) Now, I take cheap flights (e.g. Flair Airlines) to Mexico instead.\n\nJust to state some data points: when I was in Europe, I paid a total average of 39% income tax on a lower salary than I have right now in Canada. Things like utilities (e.g., gas/electricity), restaurants, certain grocery items and electronics (e.g., iphone/PS5/computers) were significantly more expensive because European VAT (inclusive) is usually 20%+. \n\nI don't have the exact numbers but on average I believe I was paying 70 - 90€ ($100 - 130 CAD) just for electricity each month for a small flat, but I am now paying $30 - 50 CAD for a decent sized 1 bedroom. I believe my housing gas bill was about the same or possibly a bit more. In addition, automobile gas prices were much higher (about $2€/L on average which is $2.90 CAD/L) and I think they could go even higher right now. \n\nHowever, rent is definitely more expensive in Vancouver, but I believe that is true for many West coast cities in North America. Right now I'm paying $2300 CAD a month for a 1BR, and I split that amount with my partner. In comparison, it would have been about €1300 ($1900 CAD) for something similar in the city where I was living previously. In a more expensive city (e.g. Amsterdam) a 1BR would easily cost €1800+ ($2650 CAD).\n\nFor me, the difficulty of making friends in my late 20's stays about the same. I think it is difficult to make new friends after graduating from school, and you have to put yourself out there by joining groups and events. (e.g. Meetup or volunteering?)

People don't get it!! Muslims don't want to mix, They want to ERADICATE ALL WHO ARE NOT MUSLIMS! DON'T BELIEVE ME? GO LIVE IN EUROPE.

And if you don’t believe us when we say the racism in Canada is getting out of hand, all you have to do is scroll the comments below. Canada clearly has a BIG Islamophobic and racism problem rooted in society.

I'm sorry to hear that you wish to leave Canada. I understand the problem with winters. I think inflation is a world problem that you can not escape. I don't believe that the government is doing anything more than trying to be inclusive to all of the 'others' of our society but then I am an old man living in a very isolated place. My children were raised Muslim but not of the 5 prayers a day. My disappointment with the Canadian government's and opposition's stance regarding the genocide in Gaza is huge and it is the best reason you have given. Canada as with Germany in Namibia has its own problems living up to the genocides we have committed in the past. If you go to Malaysia I hope you become sensitive to the 'others' that live in that country.

Same thing in California, a lot more people moving out than move in. Population decrease. I think the main reason is a lot of bad policies from government. Not only high tax or homeless problem. But decriminalized criminal.\nIn Canada I believe your government destroying your country from inside.\nTo much social program free stuffs make hard working honest citizens life like a slave, of course immigrants from shith**l countries love all free stuffs and they got their votes in return to keep them in power.

I'll get slammed for this, but, look, history is history and you can't change it. Back in the mid-20th century, the peoples of central Africa and North Africa fought ferocious guerrilla and insurrectionist wars to eject the hated white man colonizers who came in a century prior and took their land. Understood. Got it. The insurrectionists and guerillas were fervent they could run their own countries more efficiently and with more compassion than the white man. Got it. The African insurrectionists got meaner, resorting to terrorism, kidnapping, torture, brutal murder, planting explosives in shops and restaurants, mounting hit-and-run submachine attacks day and night on the populace, white and black and north African. Don't believe me, look up the old news films from the period.\n The insurgents, insurrectionists, revolutionaries, guerillas, partisans, and outright terrorists succeeded. White man gone. Fast forward to the 21st century. What do you see? Failed nation states. Lack of social and economic stability. Countries still with poor hygienic standards and low medical care. Famine. Hunger. High unemployment.\n What happened? Mostly....corruption, aggravated by increasing drought conditions over the past seventy years.\n What do you see today? Descendents of those once ferocious revolutionaries and insurgents who were willing to sacrifice their lives resorting to terrorism and murder, now risking life and limb by jumping into rickety boats to cross stormy seas and enter the countries of their former European oppressors. France and Italy are among the most astonished of all. \n Canada was not a colonial power yet look at all the migrants from Africa, desperately seeking a better life. Their forebearers promised far better than their European occupiers but delivered even less because everybody has their hand in the till and is lining their pockets. When a visitor has to pay government employees bribes for them to do their jobs, you know you've visited a failed state. Bring up the subject of institutionalized and cultural widespread corruption and they get defensive and angry, still blaming everyone else for their own failures.\n One of the more common solutions over the past twenty years, accepting huge, high-interest loans from the Red Chinese government that they cannot repay, is now coming back to bite them in the keister.

So your leaving because you can't ram Islam down non Believers throats?, GOODBYE!!.?.

I believe you will regret your move.

I don’t know about political parties in Canada, but you Canadian people need to switch your voting , think how this current administration party held in power? They destroying your country from inside. They allow everything to happened…So sad, Canada is beautiful country.\nI believe they use immigrants votes to keep them in power.

Wow, as a Christian I can't believe how much I agree with you. I don't mind the cold, and I love the Northern Lights. I love thunderstorms too. I've been to Senegal and other Muslim countries and when the call to prayer was played over the loud speakers, my thoughts were that this should cause me to pray as well. Isn't this really the only response?

What a stupid question. It's unbelievable that some western journalists actually believe that is a legitimate question. It's quite actually baffling that you begin to wonder whether it's a lack of understanding of the situation or simply a racist mindset that engenders all this

I happen to believe that what you speak is very true. Canada is accepting of all cultures and does welcome all communities/groups. However from my perspective we are not an overly religious society for the most part, so for cultures that are more religious this could create some discomfort and a feeling of being different and not fittting in. So its safe to say that Canada is a great country, but is not always the best choice for everyone. Best of luck and happines for your life journey.

Its HAMAS that needs to be driven out. The Palestinian people elected them post Arafat and they have been in power for years. They also get millions each year in aide. I believe not from the Arab nations but by the US and other nations. I honestly feel if the Arab world was concerned about their plight Palestine would have been better off and this war would not have started. I also think they both just want to annihilate the other strictly from a religious perspective. I dont think the Arab nations would take them in anyway bc they dont want those political problems. He made sense but he also deflected by saying encouraged or forced. Not our doors are open should the palestinians choose.

What nasty comments on here. These people seem respectable. They just choosing to relocate fir what they believe is a good thing for their children

Outstanding news, I've always seen Islam as one of the biggest threats to Western civilization, progressive left wing ideology a close second. Hopefully the trend continues for Islamic emigration such that we only have the one issue to deal with in future! This is the right order of things, people that believe in Sharia should live in one of the many countries that believe in Sharia. It's a big world, there should be a place where each of us can live, safely, free from persecution.

Propaganda here we go tricking the media to believe this im reading comments and falling for it again research

Yes thanks for doing that were thankful maybe right that you belongs to the place were you believe that you belong as a muslim
