Immigration should be paused 100% until life of all CANADIANS is back to levels it once used to be ( 80s, 90s, early 2000s )...in fact it should be BETTER and MORE affordable. Canada is ruining the lives of its own citizens and giving hand outs to foreigners who often come here to use and abuse the systems CANADIANS pay toward. It is essentially treason - what has happened to Canada and Canadians by the Liberals and past holders of power.

YES!! GREED is ruining CANADA.

I think Canada gets too many Indian students. They are everywhere in Trudeauland. I am myself an immigrants but this is out of limits. Cansda should have am certain quota for each region of origin or Asia will take over ?

Why so much homeless people because Canada is taking immigrants right left and Centre taking in students who provide documents from third class colleges why is the government not looking into the credentials of these colleges like they do with immigrants

Don't go to study in Canada. It will be a nightmare experience for you.

Canada has become so corrupt. It's also known Canada has become a haven for money laundering and all kinds of schemes like that. These colleges have turned into diploma mills. Their diplomas have no real value anymore. They are churned out solely because of money and it's flooding the market as well. \nHow is this allowed? \nCan you imagine how many Canadian Citizens are DYING because they have to fight against millions of new International students and new coming immigrants each year for a hospital spot.\nWait times at ER as exploded. Tons of new cases where Canadians died waiting for emergency help. This is criminal. \n\nThis is also very bad for the long term Indians that came to Canada many years ago and their kids born in Canada. They are starting to get stigmatized because all Canadians see is insane amount of Indians that barely speak English (that would be the immigrants not the students) and with a housing crisis and it affects Canadians. Guess who the scapegoats are.\nI am telling you these are the unfortunate side effects. Right now all Canadians are hurting. Trudeau and Liberals have to go and PP better not even TRY to keep this going.

Before the arrival of the students, sky high rents for a one bedroom and defecation on beaches in Canada was unheard of

I'm a PR/recently moved to Canada and already working on correcting that mistake - getting outta here ASAP. These students can have my PR since they want it so bad!

It's 100% true. International students are being exploited for tuition money and GIC money. Students have taken huge loans from their home country expecting that they will be able to get jobs and pay off their debt but since last 1 year students are jobless. We are failing to get menial labor jobs. Inflation and rent are sky high and our GIC money is not enough to survive here. I myself sleep hungry sometimes as I don't have enough money to buy food after paying rent. I think if they can't give us jobs and affordable housing, canada should stop calling itself a developed first world country. We should call out the whole system for keeping international students in inhumane conditions.

I have the same exact reasons why I want to leave Canada

welcome to trudeaus canada. 1 million immigrants, 580,000 students per year. he enjoys to see canadians struggle and rent hitting 3k in 2024. more crimes, longer hospital wait times, maxed out infrastructure, not enough schools

Come to Ireland ?? the publice and government both support Palestine ??. The weather is pretty good than Canada ??. Whenever visiting Dublin i would be glad to meet you's.\nStay blessed and in Allah protection...Ameen

I am not Muslim and I don’t live in Canada but I completely understand and agree with your thoughts. I am a Catholic in America and the pain that I have felt to witness what my country is allowing to take place in Palestine is just heartbreaking. I can’t even imagine raising a family here and I fully intend to leave before that happens. I look forward to seeing what countries you end up considering❤

The politicians of Canada imported the 3rd work and have destroyed what White people created. Toronto in 1900 was almost 100% White. Look at it now

If canada imposed sharia law and call for azan on loudspeaker 5times a day then i think we muslims can stay in canada

GOODLUCK TO EVERYONE TO LEAVING CANADA ?? YOUR CHOICE THAT ?

Canada has outran the USA in the proliferation of the thought, that the State, not the individual is responsible for one’s well being. I think there’s still hope for the west, but things will have to descend much further into darkness before people change the behaviors causing the problems.

Excellent explanation, it’s good that you and your husband are working together to minimize the coast, but oh my God how old are you? You look very young but still, you lived in so many places around the world from Germany to Indoneasia, and now, you are five years in Canada, but you look, of course, from the far east, so that’s another probably four country, oh my God, you lived everywhere in this world, I wonder how many languages you speak by now, good luck for you you are very good explainer, I love cold, lovely, snowy weather, but just enjoy it, but not to live in it. I am happy that I live in Florida, it is true you might not want to get into politic, or your program is not about politic, but it is politician, who makes the rules that affect everything, so one way or another we are a result of political decision

Born in Toronto in 1953. Left Toronto in 2019 and settled in rural Nova Scotia. I can sleep now. I am on zero meds now. I own a house and acreage which are completely paid for. I have zero debt. I hate Toronto and will never go back...not even to visit. Toronto is now officially the armpit of Canada.

It's good to warn folks.. Economics across Canada are in the waist bin.. Housing and social problems are rising.. Inflation is cruel high.. ?

I love Toronto but now a days I dislike to live and work here I will prefer move to a less expensive town and a calmer and not so dangerous place . Hoping my loved Canada do not imitate Toronto . Got permit not.

No mention of Trudeau or Chow. Our “leaders” get to do whatever they want because Canadians have been brainwashed into thinking that calling out corrupt politicians is “negative” or “not nice”. The cult of “nice” is killing canada.

Most jobs in canada are min wage. Good luck

Left Canada in 2021 because of Trudeau and happy i did.

This is what communism does. Canada (or more precisely the globalist elite) has run itself into the ground in under 20 years which is almost impressive. Between the LGBTSPWQ propaganda making free speech a thing of the past, the vaxxine mandates, MAID killing of the unwanted people in the populus, the wokeness of it all and Trudeaus hatred of freedom - communism ! Such a sad thing to see

Canada is shit

Everybody is leaving Canada now mostly because of homelessness, crime and drug issues

Canadas biggest problem is Trudeau

I am sure the good people of Canada will be pleased with your decision. Your hat and kaffiyeh testify to your values.

Sounds like Canada will be poorer without you. God be with you.

ONE OF THE EFFECTIVE APPROACHES TO THE PESENT PROBLEMS OF CANADA RE: POVERTY AND HOMELESSNES AND HOUSING CRISES IS: THE CANADIAN COVT MUST HAVE A REVIEW RE: ACCEPTING NEW IMMIGRANTS OR REFUGEES: IT MUST STOP THAT COMPLETELY: BECAUSE 8 OUT 10 OF REFUGEES HAS DODGY APPLICATIONS: THEY ARE IN REALITY COMING TO CANADA TO IMPROVE THEIR LIVES UNDER A FALSE CLAIM OF ; REGUGEES APPLICANTS. AND: ANOTHER APPROACH TO LESSEN THE IMMIGRANTS TO CANADA ESPECIALLY REFUGEES AND HUANITARIAN APPLICANTS IF TO GIVE THEM CONDITIONED VISA= TEMPORARY FOR ONE OR 2 YEARS AND PUT A RESTRICTIVE CONDITION THAT AFTER THIS PERIOD THE APPLICANT MUST GO BACK TO HIS ORIGINAL COUNTRY =OR= WHEY THE POLITICAL SITUATION IS SETTLED THEIR ORIGINAL COUNTRY; LIKE:=((IRAQIES IMMIGRANTS)= AND ALSO TO KEEP MONITORING CLOSELY OF WHERE THOSE NEW IMMIGRANTS SETTLING OR LIVING. ANOTHER APPROACH WHICH IS EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE FOR CANADA as well as ALL IMMIGRANTS AND REFUGEES TO EUROPE IS: TO STOP PAYYING SOCIAL WELFARE AND BENEFITS TO THOSE IMMIGRANTS: = AND TO STOP ANY IMMIGRANT TO OWN: A HOUSE if he or she already have GOVERNMENT HOUSING : OR: MUST INFORM THE GOVT OR HIS NEW PROPERTY=(OR) LEGAL SANCTIONS AND DEPROTATION without any exception !!! Canada; as well as Europe: Must now stop receiving immigrants and Refugees and applying strict conditions and strict welfare system to them. AND TO GIVE ANY IMMIGRANT OR REFUGEE at all times: Temporary Visa; and then the subject must leave the country to his original country or to any other third country of his or her choicel ANOTHER APPROACH THAT : ANY IMMIGRANT OR REGUGEE COMMITTING ANY SERIOUS CRIME OR MULTIPLE REPEATED CRIMES IN SHORT PERIOD OF TIME : IE ON YEAR: MUST BE DEPRTED TO HIS ORIGINAL COUNTRY AND FOREVER!!! THERE ARE MANY OTHER APPROACHED TO BE EMPLOYED TO DEAL WITH THE PRESENT PROBLEMS AND CIRSES IN CANADA AND GERMANY AND EUROPE!

the Tax system in Canada is FAIR:= EVERYONE MUST PAY TAX AT THE TIME OF RECEIVING HIS OR HER WEEKIY OR MONTHLY INCOME== THIS IS FAIR: AND THE MORE YOU HAVE MONEY EARNINGS ; THE MORE YOU MUST PAY TAX in order to lessen the Gab between classes of the community. And why a person must have 2 jobs?? it is just Greed!!! having two jobs means you deprive another person looking for a job!!! TAX SYSTEM IS FAIR: AND CHARGING THE TAX IN ADVANCE PER MOTH OF WEEK IS AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO HELP PUTTING AN END TO: (TAX EVASION AND TAX AVOIDANCE) !! TAX SYSTEM IS:=FAIR, YEAH!

Excuse me , Immigrants come every year as usual , even quantities of immigrants were reduced by COVID disrupt, The actual reason Allowing foreign investors to buy a a properties in Canada has imbalanced the real estate cost ,Real estate Mafia with Govt and political persons are involved bin this scam

actually Canada should revoke all Indians passports born in India and no one is allowed to remit funds to India and you will see what happens

It s not only Toronto but the whole of Canada has been hard on locals and immigrants. We re seeing more and more immigrants newly arrived who become disillusioned with Canada and decided to move out of Canada permanently due to many factors, i.e, cost of living, low salaries, housing shortages and sky high mortgages....

Glad I left Canada before it went down the toilet. Detroit is actually better.

There are at least 50 countries that have what you think Canada lacks. \nHowever few if any are open to immigration and much more likely to be the type of place that refugees come FROM. \nThis is not by accident. \n\nSo yes please do leave rather than turn Canada into another country like that. \nTake some of your like minded friends with you.

Let’s not circle the obvious here. These are the major problems in Canada that are greatly amplified and visible in the bigger metro areas:\n\n- Loss of economic opportunity due to the disastrous Liberal government policies of Justin Trudeau, with all the known bad social consequences.\n\n- Out of control immigration. Impossible for a country to absorb that many immigrants in a short period of time to make them productive and pay into the system.\n\n-Rampant and oppressive woke culture. If you disagree with it, you’re labeled anything from racist to transphobic. \n\n-Permissive liberal policies with drug abuse and mental illnesses.\n\n-Spineless Conservative politicians. This is changing, but boy is it taking long.\n\n-Canadian complacency and self-imposed politeness. The worst traits we have as a country. We basically don’t react to bad situations until the shit hits the fan.\n\nI’m hopeful for this country, but we still need to fall further down to do the changes we need to do.

ahh so kaya pala yung kaklase kong doctor na dito sa pinas naging janitor sa canada para makakuha ng canada work experience.

Yeah, being a woke sh*tshow and a new dictatorship has probably nothing to do with it. I think how Mr. Turdeau behaved during the years of the pandemic and showed his true colors and what he thinks of the people and their opinions and rights is reaping its consequences. Pandering to maybe 2% of woke crazies and punishing the rest .. You had a nice run Canada. Once my favorite country, now a frozen hell hole of madness.

I just saw your video, I don't know where you are moving to, but rest assured that the USA is as bad, if not worse than Canada. Deterioration of moral codes of conduct, open borders with cartels running the show. I think you should consider anywhere other than the USA..

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?)

If you think the us is more pro Palestine than Canada your wrong. The u.S is Israel’s number one ally, supply them weapons and are about to go to war for them

Wow-as an American, crime and homelessness are not what we think of when we think of Canada.

2:40 ha ha!! That shd be your FIRST reason to leave Canada.\n\nWHY did you come to Canada in the first place. It’s NOT a Muslim country for you to compare it with, unless you have an AGENDA thru this video to ask Govt to make Canada Myslim country “If you don’t make it Myslim we are leaving….” …?

Canada has unlimited immigration. total open door, so we are completely overwhelmed and unable to cope with unfettered population growth, without the infrastructure to handle it. we are in decline and on a path towards a very poor standard of living.

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.

Toronto people complain that really all they get is two, true warm months of summer. June is sort of warm, but it can be cold at night and suffer cold snaps. Finally warm August comes to an end. While many Americans to the south struggle through an Indian summer of continued high heat into September and even early October, September brings the cold temperatures back to Canada, not yet freezing, mind you, but full autumn where the jackets have to come out and you don't see the welcome, warm, sunny sunshine and the ability to sit outdoors wearing thin clothing.

I can understand your frustration with Canada, but honestly it sounds like you won't be happy anywhere in the west. Good luck.

I think it's fair to say also that you are leaving Canada including your Canadian citizenship to be a fair statement....otherwise that's hypocrisy and just using the Canadian advantage.
