Canada has Just become ??? Thank god i rejected to move to Canada from India. I'm so glad about my decision.

i came up to north bay around 2007 and i’m glad i got to see canada back in those days

I'm indian when i was planning to move abroad 2 years ago a lot of agents in india was forcing me to move to canada directly on PR. They said i just have to pay 150k Indian rupees ( around $1900 USD). Found out later canadian government have tie ups with these agents in india and are attracting young indians to move to canada under 6 months on PR by selling huge Canadian dreams filled luxury houses, cars and all that nonsense. Believe me canada is the easiest country to move from India and the cheapest one too. I'm glad i rejected to move to canada everytime they pitch me those ideas. So please do not hate indians. Even they're being duped by these agents and canadian government.

I'm glad that you guys have outlined the Conservative's position as well - just because there is a palatable alternative to the Liberals right now, doesn't mean they don't have to be under searing scrutiny. The Conservatives need to be made aware that support for them is conditional on them actually dealing with this.

Just like here in Canada, a Canadian Politician by the name of Sarah Jama was asked to leave because she was wearing the Keffiyeh on her head. I’m glad she got kicked out. Religious clothing has no place inside ANY Government building in Canada.

I completely understand your rationale. It makes a lot of sense. I am glad for your decision. \n\nI'm curious: Will you renounce your Canadian citizenship and pledge never to return?

Increasing demand without increasing supply allows the landlord class to jack up prices. Don't dismiss them from the equation. It's a conscious decision to raise rent prices to make more money. And it's motivated by selfishness. Scapegoating immigrants and pretending they're the problem rather than the landlords is terrible. I'm glad you went on to talk about the need for further housing construction, but omitting the greedy landlords from the discussion seems like you're dropping the ball on something.

I'm glad you discussed this because we don't normally hear it it on major news outlets however I've been getting a lot of infos from quite a number of canadians who are unsatisfied with the direction the country is headed.

I'm glad for his behavior. Israeli Jews and all their supporters have outed themselves. Everything we've said they were over the decades is now showing to be true and they're showing it to the world themselves. We don't have to do a thing.

Is he ever going to realize that he did something wrong ? I'm not glad I came across this video ?

Hey, you got to do what's right for your family. Canada these days isn't exactly kind to those not towing the government line, and it's definitely not the free and tolerant society that it claims to be. I'm just glad I went back home before they went completely nuts over COVID.

I really hate to say, but I'm glad that I made it out of my country because of the economy crisis.\n\nI'm currently living in Mexico now for a new life. I'm happy about it, but I do really miss my old routines that I do back in Montreal...\n\nIdeally I do want to go back to work 9 to 5 job while looking for my professional career as a video editor and videography... But the result is just impossible because of how expensive it is. Not just for paying rent, but debts, monthly phone bills, credit card payments, all the crazy shit that make your head explode.

Canada hid its inflation in the housing market for a decade. The economy appeared to be growing, and real wages appeared to be staying in line with the consumer price index, but it was smoke and mirrors. If you removed real estate, GDP was stagnant. Wages were actually falling behind and people getting poorer and poorer without realising it. That’s finally become unsustainable, and inflation is showing up everywhere. And the wages are still stuck. The country is sitting on hugely valuable resources it could develop had it not put so many self-created political barriers in the way, and having indoctrinated their population about it along the way. Separately, The healthcare system is getting worse, consistently ranking 2nd last in the OECD in terms of real results delivered. The biggest problem is that the country’s economy is built on immigration to drive growth, rather than productivity, efficiency, or innovation. The more people you bring in, the more housing you need, but they’re at the point that they can’t keep up and people can hardly afford housing anyways. It’s a recipe for disaster. I left Canada by coincidence, having met someone from another country and moved there. I’m glad I left.

i'm glad my fellow indians are coming back to india. canadians should also be glad.

Well I’m glad someone is saying it lol

What I don't understand is that how can you say LeBron is better than Michael? I always liked Kobe, had that killer instinct. Rasheed Wallace and those pistons were a fun team. I'm glad Reebok still sells the Allen Iverson shoes.

Glad i'm old and got to live thru Canada's glory years .

Glad I'm in America

It used to be a nice city but I’m glad I left.

My family lived outside of Brampton when I was 10 years old in 1975. We used to visit the local mall to shop and my brother and sister and I all took swimming lessons there.\nWhat a culture shock it would be to go there now.\nI'm so glad my family moved to Alberta in 77'.

I grew up in Malton (borders Brampton) in the 1980's and it was all Western European and Canadian folks and it was great. Such a sense of community and everyone knew everyone. Us kids would stay out until the street lights came on and played in Parks. It was really safe. We moved away in 2006 because the area had gone such down hill by 1999 and the crime was horrible. Stolen cars, alcohol and drug abusing Punjabi folks and the domestic partner violence of the Indian men beating the crap out of their wives was insane. (I had a friend that was a Peel Region Police officer who ended up leaving because she couldn't take seeing it any longer). I have nothing against Immigration, because my dad was an immigrant, but I do have a problem with the amount of any one country we let in, and the types of people that we let in that contribute to crime and area degradation. It's so sad the slums that have become in Brampton and Malton since we left. I'm glad we got the heck out of there when we did. I feel sorry for all those that are stuck there still. Furthermore with such an influx of immigrants into one area it has driven the house prices and rent through the roof because the pace of immigration was nowhere near the housing starts, and cities think that everyone needs to be packed in like sardines and when you have that many people living in close proximity and you have such expensive living costs it's a disaster waiting to happen and it brings along with it tons of crime and drugs. The Trudeau government really messed up this country and the GTA Cities like Brampton are a shining example of that. It's sick that we pay as much as we do for government at all levels that are this idiotic. It's time we protested in the street and made the government at all levels fear the public again or it's never going to change.

I’m done being kind to my Timmy’s cashier, \nI will make her/him repeat what they say, what they ask, I will make them wait for my COMPLETE ORDER!!! \nIf you WONT speak basic English, you don’t belong in a Timmy’s window, \nSo frustrating!!! \nSame with PSW’s… or should I say Wanna-be! \nInternational students/ business owners are taking over in facilities \nLittle respect for our elderly, speaking in their own language in front of clients, phones out talking with family, \nIt’s embarrassing \nLack of basic skills is putting our elderly at risk, \nWhen I have to stop the basics of where to place straps for a sling lift because he/she has them wrong/ twisted, and the response? It’s okay’ \nNo!!! It’s not!!! \nI’m glad I’m at the end of my career, \nI’ll do my own MAID just to ensure I don’t end up in their care ?\nLazy, \nDumb\nDisappearing on shift to avoid work, \nI’m done!!! ?

I think this video generalize too much. It’s like this guy asked 3 person what they think about a whole country and made a video about it. I’m Canadian, I just bought a house for 100k. I graduated from college with 0$ student debts. I had back problems that are now gone and paid 0$ for it, and i absolutely never waited more than 2 hours at the hospital. I’m living in a peaceful community between mountains and the ocean. I totally love living in Canada and i legitimately cannot comprehend the hate about it. I worked in a lot of different Canadians cities with different communities and everyone has good things to say about our country. I travel a lot and when I see how life is elsewhere, I’m always glad to be back home.

I'm glad he stood up for his rights.

Very realistic view on each province. All of these pros and cons really hit home and shed a realistic light on how Canada really is. I’m glad Ontario is not ranked the highest for the first time ever.

I'm just glad I dropped my Canada Immigration plan\n\nI was 100 percent sure 2-4 years about moving to Canada for a masters and a job

I'm a retired Canadian and moved to Colombia 6 years ago and life couldn't be better. My sister lived north of Toronto, sold, and moved to New Brunswick 2 years, but finds the cost of living unbearable, and is now moving down here as well in September. If you are considering such a move or are curious about it, drop me a line and I'll be glad to help.

I’ve been saying this for years!! I’m sooo glad I’m not the only one thinking this!!

Imma be honest I’m not surprised u moved to Canada Asians for the most part are always unaware about what goes on with the economies of the world unless u get your information from the news??.I mean seriously people it’s time to wake up in 2024 of course Canada isn’t a great country it hasn’t been in over 40 years same as my home country here in the USA where more Asians and Indians and Mexicans keep coming here but they will also learn the hard way about America ??.And don’t worry about it what they saying in the news it’s all garbage ?️ the problems in America and Canada including the u.k are server understated part of this is because these are developed countries with everything being so developed why would there be any problems I have talked to many Asians from Thailand and the Philippines ??.They literally told me they see USA as paradise like what the hell honestly because we have streets and expressways everywhere that’s exactly the problem and no agriculture no farming all warehouses and big retailers and no small businesses.All government shitty jobs paying average money we have some of the dirtiest and worst public transportation in the world it is so slow with constant delays and only go through major cities they will never fully extend it out into other areas.Condemning walking and by cycling is freaking insane to me making things more spread out instead of walkable.Allowing the cost of living and inflation to go up while keeping wages the same so your own citizens will get priced out of their own economy to allow foreigners to come in so u can get away with paying them less way to go America,Canada and the u.k.And don’t get me started with all of this dam regulations and laws being made surrounding everything my good ness man I’m so glad I’m leaving America all of these western countries are a hot piece of garbage.

This is bull crap!! I'm glad they were able to stop it!! CLOSE THE BOARDER!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am glad someone is honest about the problem.\n\nI'm surprised by how much everyone promotes moving to Nova Scotia, given the housing shortage that has led to exorbitantly high rents, a one-bedroom apartment in an old building costs 1,600, and in new building costs 3,500 per month. And for three people I pay 85 dollars of electricity every two months. Internet is 105 dollars per month. Professional salaries barely cover rent, food, and car expenses, as they are quite low, often ranging between $50,000 and $60,000 for positions requiring 5 to 10 years of experience, and sometimes even lower. Before you even see your paycheck, expect at least 30% to be deducted for taxes, as calculated by a Nova Scotia tax calculator. The healthcare system is struggling; last year, joining a list to be assigned a family doctor was estimated to take up to three years. For those seeking care at walk-in clinics, you must arrive before 7 am and wait in line; they only see the first 15 people, typically just on Mondays. If you're last, you might wait until noon or later to be seen. After working for 40 years, the pension is approximately $1,200, or less if you haven't worked the full duration with salaries over 60,000. \n \nI forgot to mention that prices in stores are without an additional 15% tax, you should add that to every product or service you purchase. If you want to go to a restaurant, an economical one, and buy a lasagna and something to drink, it will cost you at least 70 dollars. McDonalds and Tim Hortons, for three people, may cost 40 dollars, but it is your health. \n \nThe government is investing millions to attract students and new immigrants, making labor significantly cheaper for large companies. Individuals with low wages can't even afford the cheapest rent, resulting in some living in tents across cities and towns in Nova Scotia. With an annual inflation rate of 15% to 25%—and the official rate reflecting only a detailed list of products deemed as basic food items by the government—only the minimum wage is legally required to increase when deemed appropriate by the government. Other wages increase only if the employer decides to do so. How often do they do this out of kindness to their employees? That's a good question. \n \nYour work experience in other countries does not count. They want people with Canadian experience, so it is better to think you will start with a 35,000 salary per year. A house cost between 450,000 to 2,500,000. When are you going to save to pay for a house? The cheapest ones can be 200 years old. A 100 m2 apartment, new, not very elegant but nice, can cost more than 2 million dollars in downtown Halifax. People say it is due to money laundry, and for sure is not because the medium class is buying them. \n \nI have many friends, who graduated from Canadian colleges and universities that haven't gotten a job in their career even after four years of graduation... and the list is longer. Please, be honest with people like these girls.

Ye they should leave. It's too crowded in Canada and infested with immigrants. Canada needs to breathe a bit and go through a cleansing it's too crazy right now! I'm glad they are leaving

Canada is equivalent to Crypto currency. I'm so glad i didn't make the choice to go for study there and wasted my time and money investment.

In Canada …we went way over our quota,of East Indians….In 1914, when they, arrived illegally in Vancouver on …The Komatgata Maru? I’m glad they are leaving! They don’t assimilate and they will …never be Canadians?

My goodness, I live in the US, my husband and I are Roman Catholic and I’m so worried about what I’m going to do with my children. I want to shelter them from all this indoctrination, but idk what to do. \n\nI’m glad you guys have literal Muslim countries you can go to. We can’t even go to Mexico because they’re believing the same thing there now.

i’m so glad texas is doing something about it.

I'm so glad to finally see people talking about this issue. I'm originally from Africa, but I was raised in the US, so spent most of my life in the country (35+ yrs). And, I felt this deep loneliness even as a child. I would cry whenever we went back home to visit and it was time to go back to the US, and I would be really depressed for quite a while after getting back to the US. I never felt that life was normal, and everytime we met a new immigrant, I remember thinking to myself, even as a child or teenager that they just don't know the trap they are getting themselves into. Kudos to you for speaking up about this.

Look at the men pushing the babies and women \nSmph there gonna reek havoc don't let them in we the American people are backing up Texas and I'm on my way to Texas right now with my picket signs yup just made 2 of them \n*Do It By The American Laws\n*You can be an American the legal way \nMy signs made sure not to disrespect these immigrants I love e1 but this is not excepted in Our Country\nGo get your papers and we'd be glad to welcome all to America but Not Like This it's so wrong and Dangerous for us these people are jacking us of our Country literally trying to take America\n\n\n\n\nWe want let them ole man Biden

The British over promised that land to the Zionists, the Palestinians and the Arabs. I'm glad the Arabs are not part of this fight. I hope one day Britain pays for the mess it created. \nEven here in Pakistan and India, they left us a gift

As a Canadian I'm glad that you are taking your bags and religion some place else, thank you but no thanks, see you later.

Canada is not an Islamic state and never will be. we have people all over the world with different languages and religions. What makes ISLAM special over the rest? I'm glad Canada is secular and NO RELIGION should always be applied to our institutions. I want the references of God removed in. our judicial system too.

As an Internation student from Hong Kong, I'm glad I only have to pay 5x the local tuition rate at Western U, instead of 10x at UoT... and yeah I can confirm that Western's conditional offer for my enrollment was to attend a HK pre-university exam. Just attendence, not even requiring a passing grade.

i lived in canada vancouver 7 years ago,,and i could scape fromt there, why ?\ncanadian government is become communist, they use drugs and medications to control everybody whos are not agreed with government laws, \nthe laws defend imkigrant muslims, \nthe laws hace become more more a chiness laws communist, \ni spoke with immigrants and canadian people and all of them speak bad from canada, \ni,m glad to leave that communist country

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

Sounds like it's the right decision for you two! I'm really glad that Canada doesn't have public call to prayer for a minority group, 5 times a day. That would drive everyone else insane.

As a Chinese Canadian, I hear you. They've been doing it to the Muslims since well beforer 2001. And now that China is an economic threat to US and Western hegemony, they are doing it to China. I'm glad the anti imperialists understand this. Solidarity with the Muslims from China and ethnic Chinese everywhere.

AS a Native person I'm glad to see you leave, this is not the country for you , its cold wet, expensive and very racist. Try Australia, People love the tropics

Go and live in Saudi Arabia, you can live as Islamic as you want there. There is no place for Islamic culture in the western world, I'm glad you have realised that.

Seems Islam is too cerimonialistic/ritualist and require a lot of structure for praticing. Clean, specific places? Headspeakers for scheduled daily prayers? \nI'm glad the Creator I believe is omniscient and I can pray to Him anywhere, anytime, at worst requiring me a quiet place and to close my eyes. A humble temple, inside my mind.\nBut one thing I find odd...if inflation is one of the reasons you consider...muslim countries are far worse than Canada..specially Erdog4y's Turkey, which is also very secular, if that means something aswell. Anyway, best of luck for you and your family, I hope your next home live up to your expectations, just as I hope Canada and the West in general take back the western values the socialists like Castrudeau are degrading.
