If someone starts wearing a weapon in my campus I'm going to panic and call the cops no matter how cultural/religious/ethnically significant it is for them.. they can have it where others won't be threatened by it but not in a public place.

And just like that we grow up , mashaAllah baita congrats on this new chapter of your life , good luck meeting new people exploring new places may Allah guide you every step of the way , welcome to the other side of the world :)

I’m an American with an above average paying job and I can’t find a place to call home, why are we still letting people come in like this?

Shouldn't have let them in in the first place, American government hardly takes care of American citizens, idfk why they're helping others

US can't accept every Latino who doesn't like things in their own country. As a taxpayer I won't support these people . The programs we have in place are for citizens. These people know all about these programs. That's why they want to bring their issues here.

America wants to only take over certain places take over Mexico and unalive the bad people so the people there will have a chance there not here

Yeah idk about you but your basically saying we gotta care about 1% of the population while you screw over the rest America is going through cass warfare attacks on wages and treated like nothing by your employer is common place let's take care of our people and when there not worrying about there next bill and meal I'll be fine with dealing with that 1% but even then like you said there making over 100k so even then you have to make a good argument for a rich person being a victim

I do feel sry for those people, but theres few things we need to address.. if they get here.. how they are going to survive if we hardly have jobs for us..\nThey forgit that america is not longer a place of freedom, our leaders had 5urn us into democracy, iron walls.took our freedom of speach, teach our kids they are praying nouns n to disrespec their parents if they tell them something else, where christians are becoming the enemy and evil the friends.. the president is a child molester n his wife has to shutup, our unborn child is already mark with a death sentence, America is NOT longer the land of the freedom, and the braves.. America. Is worse than their own country, to die here i should die were i was born, sadly im american n see my country gong down hurts… people u are no one here just like we are.. \nwe work all out lives, n when we need help is denied, but imigrants not even an id to proced who they are are been gupiven, housing, food, medical and money, im disable working for america, n i cant even get food stamps cuz i was granted ne (1) lousy dollar ne time n the food stamps said i made enought dont need food stamps, but my neighbors is an imigrant, her husband work, they even pay for her house, n me i was told no help cuz im not old enough.. what u mean.. i dont say anything about my friend cuz shes my friend but we can keep housing those that never put a penny into our land. Why they get benefits n we dont? Again i feel sry for them i really do, but what about us..the real citizens of United States of Anmerica..??? The real Americans.. we work, we paid, n we die.. they dont do a thing n yet they get more than me..i only applied for food but she said u did a dollar extra this mo, we closin* your case.. but ne time food n one time that dollar..

It sucks both ways. Stuck between a rock and a hard place. Look at the sadness in their eyes, the pain they flee is nothing we know in America. But we also can’t just let this stuff go uncontrolled..

STOP COMING HERE! You are all way too many. I am sorry for your problems but there are other places to live along the way.

Thats ok...1000 more will take their place in liberal run kandadstan

That’s why we visit but don’t move there. Anything that you said for reasons TO say yes… vacation destinations. \n\nWhen we visit, other places in the world, we display our flag so we don’t get mistaken as Americans. ?

You miss the point about school shootings. Just the prevalence of weapons in the US makes the possibility of a shooting far greater, so in my Canadian eyes, there is NO safe place in the states. I have American relatives, and the first time my sister showed me the hand cannon she carried in her car it freaked me out. I’m not a shrinking violet when it comes to weapons. I was in the military for 6 years and spent 33 as a federal parole officer. Truth. be known, I owned a .357 for years prior to the birth of my first child, and although I kept it in a locked box with a trigger guard and the ammunition in a separate locked box after the birth of my first child I couldn’t countenance keeping it in my house.

Imagine if they put this energy into their own countries. Or, they can pick one place they're from and make it better.

Speaking as a Canadian, I couldn't imagine moving to the US. Gun violence, crowds, lack of health care, the prison industry, elected judiciary, heavily polarized politics, racism, the preference for individualism over tactfulness and shunning of people on social assistance are cultural elements I couldn't endure. Despite the fact the weather's often much better, lower air fares or cell rates, abundant shopping choices, interesting places to visit and the friendliness of most Americans, it's a hard no. We already have enough American influence here and sadly, I live in an area led by ignorant politicians who'd like to adopt us policies.

I haven't been home in over 10 years. ? There's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like...... Beautiful British Columbia, it's true, it says it right on our license plates! ?

I have been staying at a 2-star hotel paying like 2700 a month while these people are placed in 5star hotels for free.O yea and let's send more of our tax dollars to Ukraine NOT LIKE WE NEED ANY FOR US.And nooooooo Hunter Biden is NOT a crackhead.???

But when white English go around putting these in there place we are nazi racists.......

So I’m going to echo a lot of the other comments here regarding gun violence. The number ONE cause of death to children is gun violence. Not illness,not car accidents, not poverty or abuse…GUNS. \nBut here is what I found so strange. I’ve never walked into a place of business in Canada that was so clearly diverse. I went into a ladies clothing store and everyone stopped and looked at me like “what are you doing here” I’m white and everyone else was black. And I was like “ what is going on” I thought, is this a thing? My friend had the same experience. He walked into a barber shop, he’s white and all the men were black. He didn’t get it either. In both cases we were treated very well and when they realized we were Canadian we all understood the situation. Because in Canada that just wouldn’t happen. I wouldn’t want to live in a country where even businesses are segregated. That’s just a sad situation.

Fun fact: if you need H1B and if you don’t get it, you get placed to Canadian offices of almost all big tech companies

Try to move to a place where u have more lively life than suburb so u can make more friends and can make ur lil India here.

If we don’t abide by the results of our due process, there is no point in having our systems in place. There will always be objectionable results (in both directions) and statistically inevitable mistakes. It doesn’t mean we over-rule, and therefore negate, the systems.

This low IQ Sikh guy needs to get his brain evaluated by a psychiatrist. In a country where mass shootings and violent encounters take place on a daily basis, this guy thought it was a good idea to take a knife to the university. Practice your religion at home or in your home country. \n\nEveryone in the coments section who have praised this guy and his religion should also get their brains evaluated by a psychiatrist. \n\nSikhism is a peace loving religion and Sikhs are good people, but this guy's thought process is terrible.

It would be wonderful if the Democrats had enough integrity to place the military at the border to halt illegal entry into the US.

We can't let the whole world come live here, in Florida the housing situation is so bad people are having to wait on a list until something opens up and then the prices are being driven up so high it's $3,000 just to try to rent an apartment now, working class people cannot afford $3,000 a month plus the cost of everything else with the inflation going, this administration is slowly choking the American people to death, the liberals may not like Trump just because of his personality and that's about all they can come up with because they can't say really anything bad about his progress because he had the country in a great economic place

I think he should not be carrying the knife at the place of study.

Canadian (Albertan here) - yes, i don't think i'd move to the States unless it was reasonably close (maybe Montana) with fewer people - i'd like to identify as a Hermit :). I motorcycle and have travelled majority of the States, from coast to coast, and i really do like the country side and scenery, and history, that you run through. I do a 4000-6000 mile tripe every year or two - did Tennessee last year, and Colorado this summer. A lot of absolutely amazing country really, and yes some really great people as well. Have run into some real odd people as well and some places i wanted to get out of pretty quick. I do like the fact the US hasn't bought into this woke agenda and politically correctness - it's absolutely nuts up here. I like the gun laws in the States, too bad we're so screwed over that in Canada. Gotta love Trump - may be a bit of a bozo but hey - the guy lays it out and owns his shit, every other polititician plays the blame game and does everything politically correct... End of day, i'd prefer to stay in Canada, either Alberta or British Columbia.

Both counties are similar and I love most Americans. But the health care costs and the right to carry guns does it for me. If you feel that you need a gun to protect yourself, then it’s not the environment for me. Then politics has so divided the county that people actually hate each other for their views. Almost half the country seems willing to place a president in office that doesn’t believe in democracy. Scary future there.

All by design.....For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Why go to Canada in a first place,

India is the only place where they are respected and yet many hate ?? India..

I would never even consider it... any country that could elect Trump is not a place I could ever live. I refused to even visit while he was president. The gun culture is terrifying. The health care system seems unaffordable. I might visit again someday, but not to the southern states where women's rights seem to be going down the toilet...I love Canada!

Yo as an American I say wait you’re damn turn. I live here and I know about 99% of this nation is struggling as Americans. Y’all can come in legally in the first place and maybe we could help you.

Still 70% engineers in Bay area are foreigner. Good enough.\nAnd Canada is not good place for immigrants. You cannot buy house after tax and rent takes your money. For immigrants, Canada is considered as gateway to U.S. For U.S., Canada is immigration loophole.

Why is he flaunting that in the first place?

EU here : naaaaa healthcare insanity. Racism although seems better than 30 yrs ago in the south, is still obviously big. Also this little (big) thing that 80 mil. still would vote for Trump is just beyond anything. Sure so many places are stunning and millions of beautiful people, we will just visit.

Canadian s always complaining about USA but it is probably the number 1 place for us to visit. Border crossings are often jam packed. Millions of snowbirds spend months in the USA for the weather and all the other advantages. Canadians don’t always tell the truth. Canada has it share of problems too but never talk about it. Again, take away the gun issue and Canadians love USA and Americans. I think Canadians like to show they are different but actually aren’t that much

No. Reproductive rights alone, would stop me. But my health issues and inability to work means the U.S would bankrupt/kill me. However lots of us Canadians accept that there are some really great people in the States and some truly beautiful places. I would love for things to be different, so that I could feel safe there.

This is not india for you to do what you want when you want ,wherever u want. College dorm is not the place you carry knives in open.

No am Canadian. I like it here….mMy friend s are snow birds Canada in summer and winter in the US…our health care is good…have to have good people there…yes health coverage is important …we had violence in school shooting also….would like to visit and see the place sometimes..only went once over the border..interesting video

It is illegal for teachers in government funded schools to promote religion. Wearing religious garb is promoting religion. The problem is with Burke has not hijabs. However male teachers can't wear baseball caps either. The government does allow for privately-funded religious schools.\n\nAs for hate crimes it doesn't matter how many times it's reported only how many times it's convicted. Consider that most violence against blacks is committed by blacks...\n\nAs for healthcare most provinces have a 15 to 25% backlog on surgery. The government has run out of money to fund Healthcare. There are massive staffing shortages because of political actions taken by the federal government.\n\nCanada is one of if not the most taxed countries in the world. On average she pay 30% income tax. Then when you spend that money they take another 12% in sales and goods tax.\n\nCanada is better than a lot of places but it's gotten a whole lot worse since the pandemic. Just like the US it's a boiling pot waiting to explode.

You have Barefoot Bay, near Melbourne, Florida which is a town of Canadian seasonal homeowners. Nice place! JMH

Why don’t they fix there own place

Plot twist : America don't want that trash in the first place

Canada is also a FAR better place to live.

Hell No!!!!!!!!!! There are certain places I wouldn't even visit anymore. Florida comes to mind. I can't believe the crap that goes on there.

Fix our own backyard, we Americans need help to even eat or a place to lay our heads.?

How can people be so blunt in the comments.... You cant bring a knife to a social place outside India... Their country their rules... I have nothing against a sikh carrying kripan in India... Yes they carry guns but dont show it in public...dont try to justify what is wrong

What a crock of shit!!! Maybe you should visit these places to see how wrong you are!!!

I’m a Canadian myself, and it’s very interesting to see your reaction to Canadian’s response to that question. I think what you said about being desensitizing is true, I think because the gun violence, the crazy politics, and the attacks on women’s and minority rights, these are things that have become so common in the US that American started to see these things as “normal”. And to a lot of Canadians, these are our core values. A lot of us are proud that we don’t have that (serious of) these issues here, so I am not surprised in any sense that majority if not all of those people in that subreddit said no.\n\nI used to travel to the US for a living, and I actually asked to change my job so I don’t have to do that anymore. I didn’t feel safe, I didn’t feel good when I travel there. You mentioned it’s depending on the cities, and you might be right, but I can tell you I have met A LOT of very crazy people during my years of travels, and they are all friend very different places: the east, the south, the west, big and small cities.
