Canadian here, from Vancouver. This is 100% true. Why do we accept so many immigrants? Because we have to. We can't afford to have our own kids. It's too expensive. As my kids are finishing their post secondary education, I'm going to suggest taking their edu and leaving Canada for the USA - higher wages, more affordable cost of living. It's actually simple math.

Stay strong my sister. We give thanks for your blessings: Your initial shared accommodation; being able to sponsor your family to join; your course entry, polite people in your area and on the bus; your opportunity to exercise daily through walking and your continued faith. My thoughts are with you concerning your headache as an occasional migraine sufferer myself. There are many triggers for painful headaches that do not appear to go away; here are a few you may want to look into: Atmospheric pressure (heavy rain , thunder storms); Fluorescent lighting ( this took years to discover); Dehydration (It is recommended to add some salt to your water -too help retain some water in body); excessive light from computer screens & phones ( you may want to adjust your display in the computer/iPad accessibility suit); Sinus congestion; Stress from possible overthinking & worry; hypertension; dietary intolerances (BBQ sauce, strawberries, & dairy were mine); Too much salt intake in food e.g. Maggi cubes and added table salt; Tension in shoulders, etc. \n\nIn addition to above suggestions you may wish to soak your feet in water in the evening, I add Epson salt and oil of my choice lavender etc.\n and eye glasses prescription review.\nDeep tissue massages or reflexology once a month etc.\nYou may wish to keep a journal of your headaches to help you monitor triggers and not effective relief solutions;\nAnd Food prep in advance to save some cooking time.\n\nAll the best. Kenyah

A post Covid fallout? You think war and climate change isnt going to push more and more immigrants to new countries and makes the market explode even harder and harder? Naïvity. \n\nPut one person on an Island and he is King\nPut alot of people on an Island and there is One King and all subordinate.\nPut too much people on an Island and everyones try to be king and fight each others.

dont let the door hit you in the ass on the way out!! Dont come here its a trap !! Go back!

They're trying to get rid of the middle class and force rentals and no more ownership. Refugees and immigrants are allowed in to mess with demand and covid caused people to move out of the city, then American billionaires such as Bill Gates bought up all the vacant homes and are raising prices. We gotta fix the loopholes and only allow people who live here to own. Pretty much what happened in Rome is going to happen here and Canada has a lot of resources which is what China wants.

Not all religious cultures mix well, it's better to go where you feel happy.

please go back where you belong there are 1000 who will replace you

There a sure many countries that fit better to you. It's a good idea to go there, especialy Gaza.

Go to your place

I agree wholeheartedly with you about what is happening in Canada and the state it is in and the deteriorating trajectory of where it is going. My husband and I have had this conversation as well and yet we stay for family that is here. Blessings to you and your girls on your new journey.

When you bring in hundreds of thousands of new people annually, of course there is going to be more housing shortages, more demand for housing thus inflated prices and more competition in the labor market. The USA has practiced this since 1965 and Canada is now seeing the problem.

Please DO NOT move to any country in the European Union. Go to some homophobic place where you can feel at home.

why not going somewhere near Palestine to help them? definitely Canada doesn't support your thoughts and should not. cheers

Go to Gaza.

I am very happy that people who dont like Canada are deciding to go back to India, its good for us immigrants who are able to live in peace because we are ready to go through struggle and we like the country. Couple of years ago, people were randomly and blindly coming to Canada without knowing ANYTHING about the country and unfortunately everything was crowded.

Salamu Alaikym Muslim brothers, we should go Canada good life but we want prayer places and hijabs for our womans we want muslim neighboorhoods for us separated from other religions and sharia law. If they refuse that terms we should not go there but continue go to Europe. In 20 short years we take whole Europe and marry all the western womans.

people like you “immigrants” since 1965 are a cold war era attack on the west from russia and china. you are an occupying force who was sent to destabilize in the exact way that has happened. go back. or be forced back.

Good, go. And don't come to the USA, Europe, Asia, Africa, or North America, or South America. Or Antarctica.

Keep voting for liberals and keep on wondering why your city and nation is going down the tubes. here's a hint: Multi culturalism is a death sentence for any nation.

?are you going to Gaza? to support Palestine?

That's it, go to your countries. Europe and non-Muslim countries are pushing your Muslim tribe OUT. ITS a fact. Oil and water DONT mix. Fact! Your family woke up. Bravo.

The real reason they do not want to take any Palestinian refugees is because it's been done before. Where the Palestinians go, societies are destroyed.

This is a great message to all foreigners. Go back where you belong, live amongst your own beautiful people and enjoy your own culture in your own lands. Ironically these folks seem like nice, reasonable, respectable people. That they mentioned the drag story hour proves they are good folks. Its the dregs and welfare recipients that will stay forever. Its also ironic that they have many of the same values that western countries used to have, before they were flooded with the 3rd world.

A lot of immigrants use Canada as a jumping-off point to get into the States. They know Canada is a trash country but they're willing to suffer in the meantime. I know many immigrants who have came to Canada and are very educated, lots of experienced in their field, couldn't find the job. But they all move to the states and are getting paid very well. Going to the USA is prosperity land not Canada. That is a fact!

I’m sure you gather a lot of positive attention when people see that “Free Palestine” cap. Glad to see you go.

oh my god this search-for-work - obey - die schedule people go through is so disgusting! A medical professional not being able to find work and leaving the country is ridiculous. Any thoughts on the future of this country? The political topic that you said you didn't want to get too deep into was actually very interesting. Also check out the movies Interreflections and Zeitgeist: Moving Forward and text back what you think.

No Islamic environment ? in a Christian country sorry to hear this. Maybe you could go to palastine ? Wish you the best ??

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

Hi Brother / Sister ( SALEH's Family ) Well, your decision to leave Canada is good & courageous ... specially for the sake of your children. Your story is absolutely true , because you are not alone to face this facts. Many other families also are preparing / or are already left this country for some reasons as yours.....But now my very QUESTION to you , may looks quite embarasing & difficult ....Where are you going to find really a GOOD place ( a Paradise Country ) to live a happy life ? .... well by now, in this year 2024, there are WARs everywhere. There are MAD / CRAZY people everywhere. Our planet Earth is full of EVILS .... Well, I mean , You & me / everybody are living in the same boat ....sailing on a very BAD sea. The Evil Spirits are now present in almost all societies ( The Corrupt Governments / bad Politicians / bad Educations / attacking Churches or bad Health care system . No security & dangerous people everywhere) etc .....By now, the only place, You can find a little happiness to live a Safe & peaceful life, is in CHINA . Bye & God bless you all .....( John NG )

Super happy you are leaving. Canadian's fought and died, fighting a Nazi alliance that wanted the genocide of Jews. Why don't you go to an Arab country, with a democracy that is Muslim and will allow your daughters to have the choices they want? Oh right. There is none.

As a canadian i never thoughg of living anywhere else vanxouver is so beautiful. Growing up govrnmebt started cutting programs and services in schools ans public resources. And kept doing it. \n\nNow they are removinf beautiful homes to build ugly apartments no yards .\n\nThere is not enough public space. Everyone is moving to the city. We use to be able to go to the beach on a weekday in spring and there was no one. Now its packes. To get to the bathroom was almost a block long. The bathrooms are small. Goos for population we has in the early 90s. We need somethings 4x larger now. \n\nIm ok with new comers but if they create a new community in the rural areas. We have so many areas up north no one moves to.\n\nOr lots of space to build new communities up north, not deatroy the current communities that already exist. \n\nWith all the new apartments there is not enough space for cara, no parking and no room on public transportation.\n\nSimply, the city cannot support anymore people. Its unrealistic. \nI worked with a girk who shares a 1 bedroom apartment with 5 other people and she still paid 1500 a month for rent.\n\nThis will soon be like america - run down, extreme poverty & homelessness. The homelessness has gotten so extreme.\n\nWages havw increased maybe 3x since i was a kid, but pricea rose eveey year.\n\nAs a kid we paid $850 for 3 bedrooms. When i mo ed to my first apartment i paid $800 for 3 bdrms. My friend pays $3000 now for a 2 bedroom aptt.\n\nThere are more crimes more thefts now. My old houae was 600,000 that same house is now 1.5 mil. \n\nI make 2x what i made 3 yeara ago ans things are even more expensive than, i have less now vs when i was making less. Ill never affors a house i can barley affoes to save.\n\nIm certainly looking at gettinf out of here. This country is going to trash

Take off the terrorist scarf and virtue signalling hat. Go to Gaza and then you will be running back...

Go to Palestine ?

get your friends to go too

Curious about where they are going and how they will feel about their lives once they get there.

IF ALL THE PALESTINIANS AROUND THE WORLD WERE TO GO HOME TO PALESTINE , ISRAEL WOULD BE SCREWED !!! ?%

This is insanity. No sane Leader would let this go on.

So you're going to leave us b6 ourselves? Do not move to The Emirates , they also zupport Isreal

Please go to Afghanistan, at the moment very perfect environment as you are looking for. Just an advice.

When you are more comfortable with Islam then self deportation is the ideal way to go..have fun!

alah ma3kom....take care and please don't look back when you go :)

Saudi has learnt how to go forward in this modern era.

It's funny every country in the world has the same narrative.\nSo the question is do we check before making videos to milk view or we are just supposed to belive that people are going to the fucking moon?

I have to ask are you giving up your Canadian citizenship? And I have to tell you I bet you are going to keep it. And although I agree with some things eg: the extreme stance and slide into extreme liberalism, your move is one extreme to the other, and despite the cancel culture here it still stands for real freedom when compared to the middle east. So please do us a favor and if war breaks out where you are going to, please do not ask the Canadian people and government (like so many islamic homesick have in the past) to rescue you at the monetary expense and potential risk to our Canadian men and womens lives- that would be so insulting not to mention hypocritical and Canadians take note of such things and they don't forget. Having said that have a good trip or I guess I should say permanent move.

Maybe leave YouTube aswell. If you truly believe that the big man up there is the one, surly being religious is all that counts. You folks should go to Afghanistan, if you truly want islam go for it

People.come.here to.get a passport. Then can go back to their home.countries and collect all canadain medical benifits and pensions. This has got to.change

Good riddance! Go go go!

I think you should go to Dubai. The best to live in a hadcore muslim country. Christian countries are toxic for you. Allah has plan with you. Europe also not friendly enviroment at all for islamic people. Have you thought about Brunei?

Go to Florida if you think life is expensive in Canada. You will get the surprise of a life time. Good luck! You would like as well Dubai. As a Canadian, I know that Christians do not show on the street their religion. We have a tendency to keep our religion to ourselves. It is a different culture. Good luck to you guys.

Are saying you don't want your kids to go in a library? Not sure I got it. Whats wrong with it?
