Ça fait 30 ans que je vis au Québec et moi aussi j'ai remarqué que ca a changé beaucoup concernant l'éducation familiale,la liberté des genres,le respect mutuelle,le coût de la vie,le racisme contre les musulmans,le manque de soleil et du beau temps....etc

I respect that your intentions are pure and you want the best for your children. I’m an Australian convert and have lived in Pakistan and Saudi also. There were positive and negative in all 3 of those places but by far feel that Australia is the best place to raise children. In Pakistan, twice while wearing full black abaya and hijab I had men try to grope me. I have a teen daughter and she enjoys certain levels of freedom here but I wouldn’t let her walk out of the house in Pakistan. Saudi was safer than Pakistan but had its own issues. You likely won’t agree with all the governmental decisions in any country you go to. I don’t agree with the government decisions of any of the 3 countries I mentioned above, if that’s a reason to leave a country then it’ll be a problem everywhere. Sorry it’s counter to your point but just sharing my experience. The grass isn’t greener. Oh and one other thing o noticed, in these countries your kids witness “Muslims” doing terrible things and it’s really difficult to explain.

Good on you!!! Full respect ? ?

Waaalikum Asssalam wa rahmat ullahi wabarakatuh....Respect from INDIA....

Honour and respect your choices and wish you the best. Canada is and has-been a Christian country and although that is changing, sadly, I do not see it turning muslim\n We do honour our Jews and our Jewish heritage and are extremely saddened and alarmed about the war. I pray you are. Lesser wherever you go.

Why for god sake the people leaving their homes \nTo go become a refugee \nIt’s a shame I am 67 years old \nall my life I see the occupation \nBy Israel and the fighting \nI am a Muslim I always thought \nJew Christian Muslim we are the Children of Adam and Eve \nand I am respecting all holy Books and all the prophets \nFor how long the war goes on \nBoth sides suffering \nThis will not be good for Muslim \nJews and Christian and non believers we are all suffering from this terrible war \nI pray for a peace god bless you all ??

Well, as a person who grew up in a Muslim community, I respect your view but I disagree with Azan being loudly heard. I just hate it. It is like a noise interrupting in the daily life. I believe there are apps that play it and you can use them. As for Palestine, sure Canada is on the wrong side but the UAE is the same, they recently normalized the relations, Saudi Arabia said just two days ago they are willing to do so, and most European countries are similar. The US is even worse. How many good options do you have?!

All the respect to you from Kuwait ?? ,,,may god bless you

I am 63 born and raised in Canada all my life and can honestly say that I have never been as embarrassed to be a Canadian since the pandemic where we let millions of immigrants come here take our jobs (with government subsidies) abuse of our free medicare system and have all their family members abuse it. They made housing unaffordable, impose their laws and religion and show total disrespect for Canadian culture. We lost this country to immigrants and corrupt government led by the worst PM in CDN history. Democracy has been replaced by a totalitarian state which has no respect for citizens rights...unless your an immigrant.

This woman looks afraid of this guy's temper...too bad they are leaving a country that respects woman's rights. I heard Iraq is doing wonders for men who scare their wives. He also probably wants to isolate her from her family so he can control her better.

At last, a public figure that can give a straight answer. Respect.

I hope the grass is greener wherever you decide to land (unfortunately I somehow doubt it...your next destination will have inherent challenges of its own). I would also forewarn you that you can't simply emigrate anywhere you want. Most countries have highly restrictive immigration policies (Canada is very much an outlier on this). And very few countries fully respect human rights, including freedom of expression (especially for women). Be careful what you wish for (even if I agree with a couple of your criticisms). Best of luck

My advice look for a country or city with more conservative values. If that means they have high Christian or Buddhist populations that's not necessarily a bad thing. Probably a good thing. People of faith often have the most respect for other people of faith. Also the society may be more socially conservative. As a Christian I find the secular and left leaning governments open to people of faith, especially Christians. I think its a matter of time before other faiths start copping more heat and restrictions. I'd stay away from lots of Europe as things are heating up after the issues they've had and the rise of the left and the right at the extreme ends.

Imagine if someone would immigrate to a country because his main reason is he absolutely love and respects the values, culture, tradition, and way of living. Because he wants to live in the environment that fits him the most.\nI absolutely understand that you leave. But why are you here in the first place?

you are good muslims who take care of family and love kids meanwhile respect others opinion and beliefs. I wish there are more good chinese, good muslims, good canadians, good christians, good mexicans, good .... because there are also many bad chinese, bad candaians, bad christians, bad mexicans, bad ...!! we all earthlings, all good common sensed people who can respect life, different opinion, religions should be united against all bad ones, specially the evils ones in the governments.

I really respect what you guys are doing. Wishing you all the best from Egypt! ❤\nCheck out\nTürkiye \nMalaysia \nMorocco \nThose are the first countries that came to my mind right now. I'll update this with others later insha Allah. ❤

LivE islaaaaaaaaam Ettudess pEasE RESPECT, who iam is E living fully lifE, Notnot country soomaali muqdisho wadajir SELFSELF Familyyyyyy system. Mashaaaaalahtabaarakalah

Respect for your support to Palestine❤️?? love it so absolutely! Happy about the fact that Palestine is the last push, how it is helping you decide and choose your comfort and beleif, how has it been an eyeopener for so many... JAZAK ALLAH for this video. Loved it, may ALLAH bless you and kids and all the Muslims living in environment non conducive and hateful for Muslims.

respect laws of the state! no need to carry the kirpan! you are licing in modern civilized world! do not need to practice cave age traditions!

I have huge respect for the both of you. It’s obviously a very difficult and life alternating change to leave Canada. I commend the both of you for standing by your beliefs. Thank you for sharing this with us. I wish you and your family peace, love and happiness in this next exciting stage of your lives.

Who cares why you left... Canada is a great country and not so far gone to have it back on the right track. Sure everyone likes to bitch about something, it's human to complain when your having a bad day,week, or month. Even in the darkest times humans find the ray of sunshine and start to chase it knowing that it will be better in the future. To make a video that you had to leave ...who cares, your mom or family or friends. Did you think about the thousands of Canadians who went to war to fight for what you have today? Respect is lacking for many young people in many countries. Canada needs to stop thinking it has to fix all the problems immediately like some fix it pill. Band aids are for first aide not solving complex issues. Issues should be sounded out by Canadians for Canadians and only then we can start to logically and with forethought address issues using our great minds to solve issues with the future in mind. Leaving Canada is not using your talents to help your country who gave you everything up till now, it's opting out of assisting your forefathers in completing the growth and direction of your children's future and the future of Canadian society. Have a nice vacation because the world outside of Canada is not your home...it's just a hotel.

Full respect and appreciated

This is Canada. Not the middle East. Show some respect.

Salam. Totally understand and respect your reasons. I would advise you to consider Brunei ?? as well. As they have implemented sharia law since 2014. People are really nice and polite.

Canada is broken for all faiths and races. It was once a great country. Good luck on your journey. I respect your reasons for leaving.

As Palestine im dispointed in our Arab brothers but we learn oue real brothers are South Africa who stood up and sacrificed there country to charge Israel in International court. We are forever grateful of South Africa and Africa for supporting and standing behind us. We have Nelson Mandela statue in Palestine as sign of respect

This guy here is a top top man ?♥️ full respect and Free Palestine ??

It's obvious that you have never lived outside of Canada. Canada is probably one of the last countries in the world that accepts people for who they are and has a decent level of respect for belief systems. I get that you want to raise your children in a better environment, but trust me when I tell you this... you are walking into a world of disappointment. Canada itself is about 15 years behind other countries when it comes to this downwards spiral you are speaking of. Sadly, you will find out soon enough that this utopia you want to find, simply doesn't exist and you will discover you have left the variable comforts and safety of Canada behind. I'm not trying to burst your bubble, but am simply sharing what I discovered when I searched for the same things. I think L. Frank Baum said it best.... if I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own back yard. If you are lucky in life you will discover that the world doesn't stop turning for you, and that the world that you dream of for your children must be created from within. That being said, it is good to travel and trying different ways of living is a wonderful education for your children. Just remember to shield your hearts and stay positive if things don't turn out the way that you hope they will. Best of luck and stay safe.

I wish you and your family well and I agree Canada is going down hill...I am not a Muslim but respect the culture and have Muslim friends. The Canadian governments position on Gaza is sickly perverse and is complicit in the current genocide in Gaza.

You're definitely in the wrong country if you're homophobic. Respecting basic human rights is part of our culture. Good riddance !

Much respect, as an First Nation person, it is with so much sadness to hear you want to leave. But I understand your reasonings. As a person with both parents, grandparents, and great grandparents and so on that were First Nation, it breaks my heart to see my country and what is happening in Canada. Much safety and respect on your new journey in life. Meegwetch for contributing much love to this country during your time here.

Please leave asap.\n\nIslam is all you care about. You don't respect Canada. \n\nHave fun in your muslim country of choice.

Respecting people's rights to choose what they believe and practice - but saddened that so many people\nfollow religions and do not truly research the symbolism, the history, the connections - no one should \nbe attacked for wearing a head covering etc - at the same time Muslims, like many other religious\ngroups just follow what the leaders say - and - if they truly researched they would find out that \nfollowing men and clerics is not wise and not even what our Creator wants for us.\n\nI was raised in a large world wide accessible religion - then, when I saw and heard things that\ndid not add up - I prayed for truth and then pro-actively researched - I compared the teachings\nof that religion from materials with in and from out with - and drew my conclusions - I also\nbeleive that I was led to find some very useful information not of myself - I learned enough\nto make an informed decision to leave that religion. My journey after that has not been an\neasy one as there is a lot of conflicting information and factions in this world - but over time\nmy original decision has been re-enforced by facts - I also came across the origins of Islam\nand who controls it - and that would be a surprise to many - and likewise would surprise\nother people in other religions ( including the popular New Age / Eastern Mystic religions)\nare all run by the same group world wide - and The New Age / Eastern Mysticism have\nbeen marketed as some kind of non religious freedom - but are, in fact religions with\ndogmas and leaders.\n\nThe Truth has set me free - I continue to study and to have faith alone in our Creator alone\nand I try to continue to learn what I can about the world and about spiritual things - to aid\nmy understanding and discernment. May more people seek truth for themselves, stop\nblindly following men and traditions and actively study and research from a rounded\nperspective. Best Wishes.

Renounce your Canadian citizenship and take on the citizenship of your 'new' country and then I will respect you. Until then, I fully expect you to return when it suits your purposes and benefits you.

We are Christian. We lived in the Chicago area which deteriorated tremendously in crimes, respect for others, morals, and people's tolerance for others. The only thing that kept going up in Illinois is their taxes. The 'ruling party' leaves normal people speechless-- in that criminals crimes and behaviors are excused! \nSo we moved to Florida which has a majority of conservative people. We found our town there by first searching for a Church which matches our beliefs, whose worship style and music speaks to our spirit, which offers Bible study groups and has a blessed Pastor.\nFind a house was simple and our neighbors are wonderful!\nAmen and Amen!\nAnd may your relocation go smoothly as well!

Respect

I’m really glad you feel called to leave from sky daddy !! I’m\nNot a believer, I think it’s all made up, but I really respect you for saying this country doesn’t fit my moral compass and actually acting on it instead of just moaning about it.

Thank you for your sharing. As a teacher, I am saddened that you think schools are indoctrinating children. You are able to ask teachers for a meeting at any time to explain your concerns. The values taught in schools should be understanding of all cultures, respect, kindness. We are more similar than we are different. Having said this, I understand that you are drawn to leave. I hope you feel like you are being pulled towards something positive and light, and not feel as though you are being pushed out. Love & Light

God bless you, such as lovely family! Lot of respect from Kurdistan.

Asslam o Aliakum ,,May Allha always protect u and bless u everywhere,,help u in ur hijrhat,,respect and dua from a pakistani muslim sister.

People are leaving everywhere to go somewhere increasingly , it seems. Whilst I respect individuals rights to pursue a life in another country , if they are unhappy in their present life...I feel many are missing the point. The majority of countries , face the same problems . It is a global economy and there is no escape from global warming , economic crises and mass immigration, which are common problems in most (if not all) western democracies. Until there are global solutions to deal with these problems , these problems will continue to exist wherever you go.

Oh ALLAH bless u, u earned my respect. May ALLAH Always guide ur all reasons are totally understandable but the no 1 reason just brought tears to my eyes. Yes I wish all the Muslims take some steps or all humans take some steps towards humanity.

We do have a bunch of muslim communities in Australia (the one's I've seen are in Sydney region) and I have heard the call to prayer, but it isn't a widespread thing. We also have schools which have predominantly hijab-wearing students (I think it was a girl's school in Sydney). But racism is unfortunately something that is common here. I wish it wasn't, because everyone deserves the right to respect and living in peace, its the most basic human right. Also as someone who socialises a lot with the lgbt and drag community I so respect your right to parent your kids as you choose. I have things I would teach my kids, and so do you. Hoping you all find the most comfy and safe home in the future.

i respect their decision. i wish all muslims in the western countries did that though I realize most cannot afford to. whih is why i believe western governments should initiate programs that finance muslim emigration. that can actually speed up the de-islamization of the western civilization. tbh, it's a win-win.

Both David and Goliath have right to their respective lands since we know they’ve been feuding neighbors for millenniums

respect to you both , stay safe , stay blessed , ameen

My culture is wearing a rocket and I’m from North Korea. Pls respect my culture.

I can tell you muslim countries are not that great but I respect your decision.

You guys have raised a very valid points ..Respect for you
