The old it hasn't touched my life is a typical American response. Until it does. There were almost 2 mass shootings a day (630+) in the US in 2023. Back in the 70s and 80s, I spent a lot of time in the US due to my involvement in sports. Today, you couldn't pay me to step across the border. Ya, all gotta get your shit together. Fascism is knocking at your door. And it's migrating north. Canadians are better educated, and with our diversity, the average Canadian has a deeper understanding of the world. We are a global village unlike the US melting pot. It's a sad statement to make, but the world doesn't love America, just your money. Way back, I loved going to the Sabers games. It was a great night out, and only a quick hop across the border. Those days are long gone, and it breaks my heart.

Because they see what they did to me and my children and I'm not from America and there running to and from the border they did something to my children and he is A god and they did know me and I got shot in the head and they couldn't believe I was alive and working and still provide with no wound you didn't shoot Tommie at all

Seriously just the last 6 months an officer was shot and killed,a woman was run over at a cross walk, driver did not stop,two people were shot outside a restraunt in their car,in a mall parking lot ,and thats just stuff I've heard about , dont even get me started on the machine gun shootings nearer the border in a family area and I live in a small city in Vancouver B.C. so that rules out low crime

Tyler, Uvalde is a small town, Newtown is a small town... there are shooting anywhere in the US, not only in big cities

Job market is sluggish, Salary not comparable with US, House Rent are so high, buying a house is a distant dream, inflation is high, education standard is poor kids learn more of LGBTQ+ than math or science, infrastructure not spread out like US, concentration is only in Toronto and within 20 km radius, high cost of living for eg. ridiculus auto insurance premiums, groupism & racisim. I dont think people blend in, healthcare serious wait times. I know no country is perfect but Canada lost its charm in recent times because of politics like in India. Overall US is still better but has its own problem like mass shooting & rising cost of living. If you get lucky US is the right option for now compared to europe.

Shoot some pellet rounds

THIS IS ALL PLANED, USA was the rich mans project, its was nothing but business thas why other democratic countries have free educational fre heath care cheap medicine, subsidized housings, no mass shooting, a prison system that is a industrial and owned by shareholder that influenced prison tme given for crimes, resulting in world largest inmate population ding time in facilities not suited for humans and conditions that make one even more violent. THE LAND OFF THE FREE is a illusions, Gods own country that since ww2 has killed millions innocent thousand of miles over sea. UKRIANE WAR, was initiated to make Allies deplite the stock o\nPiles and orded new from US even more expansive, the pipe line was destroyed so Europa is froced to buy US LMG gas that is 300% more expensive. Biden is making money for the few and select

It’s called BULLETS any other country would shoot

Get out the weapons. These people will also steal and Rob if they get in here. Don't make it so the citizen's have to start shooting. Loser Biden giving these people the idea they can just come in and get free stuff.

Something tells me that if Israel conceded to all that they would still want from the river to the sea and shoot rockets and plan more oct 7s

Boy's mistake.Was there any Ethnic day?What was the need to show off the Kirpan in a country which is not aware of this culture and where there are mass shootings in a campus .

Canada is built on false promises to lure in immigrants to have them work for cheaper while ignoring it's own citizens. Treadeu doesn't care about his job and only uses it now to take tax payers money and fund his lavish lifestyle he's a rich egotistical douche that will only ever operate in his best interest and will lie and say what he has to for people to believe him he doesn't care about Canada or it's people only about keeping himself wealthy off tax payers dollars. If there was more of an effort on infrastructure and technology Canada could have been similarly valued to the states but treadeu ruined all major relationships and is a laughing stock globally it's very clear no world leader even respects the guy and hurts canadas trading potential massively along with how we're viewed. Canada tried way to hard to be it's own thing and different which also helped shoot the country in the foot. The government is extremely corrupt outright denys separate parties from speaking, underhanded tactics to win elections, control over media. Canada is a first world country but a declining one at that and if something doesn't change it will easily become an impoverished country where we will only be used to have our resourced sucked dry and sold to other countries to profit off while the elite remain powerful in Canada. Canada is seriously wasted potential. Canada should have high speed rails that connect the major cities but doesn't, we don't have actually good energy infrastructure due to projects being abandoned under trudeau that would bring a lot of money back. I used to love this country but as it is now I despise it because it's become crushing to live here as a bachelor making 32k and renting

What does Canadian exp mean ? Able to shoot a puck like an NHL player?

Still you see alot of Torontonians living in denial stating that everything is OK in Toronto ,crime isn´t that bad in comparison with U.S. cities ,and affordability is overly exaggerated when the true is totally different . Crime now is indeed a bigger problem .There are more mentally sick people roaming the streets than before , More drive by shootings , more gangs ,and guess what the living costs are out of control

justin and the liberal government has changed Canada so much for the worst in the last 8 years. It has seriously gone down. infrastructure breaking down, tent cities all over the place, many closed businesses, Increased killings and shootings, cost of living, rent skyrocketing, inflation in this country Carbon TAX that just utterly kills you, while not knowing what they do with that money. Canada / Toronto is a dumpster right now.

To get the palistinians to stop shooting rockets at Israel and stop acting like terrorists. Fyi fun fact: Palistinian was a phrase coined by Romans as an insult toward jews. Palistinians are originally jews until the 1960s when Arafat started the PLO terrorist organization.

As stated …with more than 50% of the population are newcomers…caucasians are a minority and we stopped going there altogether due to the daily robberies,shootings and stabbings…..well done!

Toronto has become a big injection center for drug addicts, that's one of the reasons I left Canada. It was so depressing to see that everyday downtown Toronto or pretending not to see them but the fact is, it was way too depressing and I didn't want to see them anymore. Also, places such as Moss Park have become a shooting place at night for no reason so taking a walk in the park' without taking big risk wasn't an option anymore. Not to mention the cost of living for such a bad quality of life, barely being able to afford buying some basic products such as milk or vegetables. Canada has become so bad. So glad I left and I don't regret it for one minute. There are so many better and friendlier countries out there.

So why does the Palestinian Hamas keep shooting thousands of rockets to an other land?

US has similar drug problem and mass shootings in the US has most people shopping on line.

You explained this so well!! My partner and I moved to Canada 3 years ago just as we got approved for H1B. We had to chose between moving to CA or staying there in an uncertain limbo for 2 decades waiting for a greencard. You did a good job talking about the downsides of moving such as a lower salary and higher home prices. We bought a small townhouse for the price we could have paid in the US for a detached house. Many people I know in similar situations leave CA and move back to the US once they get their Canadian citizenship. However, I do think that there are many reasons to stay such as the political climate. The US has become very regressive banning abortions, making gun laws more lenient and it’s not as accepting when it comes to diversity and inclusion (be it POC community or Lgbtqia+) unless you live in a big city which is expensive. These are the reasons we chose to stay, especially if we have kids as school shootings are getting more and more common there.

where did all these donuld drumpf posters come from .. do the drumpfs have eyes for Canada too \nall these drumpfers want their uhmuruhku gun laws in Canada ... over my dead body \npeople that hate Canada just luv mass murders ... drive by shootings .. loosing your house if you get sick ... and teachers wearing AR-15's in class .. yah ,,, I can see why drumpfers would like that

Close the borders this is ridiculous if we did this anywhere they would shoot us

High living costs problem is out there in every country, this is global. Miigrating will always be painful, I come from Mexico, going back to my country is possible but not an option in the long run. I believe private investment is keeping things at hand in terms of security, but the state of governement is broken, more and more massacres are common and people disappearing by drug caetels are happening even more and in zones previously deemed safe. That is why comparing in comparison thus country to me its worth it. (And not Usa because their gun laws and people supporting them to me are a no no, to have shootings at school that common, oh my god).

These people don't own TANKS, NOR AIR PLANES THAT WILL SHOOT MISSILES.\nSo please stop saying in these comments about them banding together to fight there Government.\n???\nIt's not until Americans have this happen to us we will understand.

I question American food being of high quality as a lot is banned in other countries because it contains chemicals that aren't meant for human consumption. I couldn't imagine living in the US when something as simple as children going to school is so stressful because of the school shootings. Over 630 mass shootings just so far this year. It would be a hard no, absolutely not for me. I won't even go there to visit. I have family members who have lived there for decades and I'm afraid they are now just as uninformed as millions of Americans. Especially the ones who were 'educated' there.

You have to be incredibly dumb to do this. After the campus shootings and security measures this guy still thought it was a good idea to carry weapon on campus. He was lucky he didn't get shot.\n\nReligion, your opinion on guns keep out of places where kids are there.

Are protection unit don't even got guns they got Shields and batons why aren't they shooting tear gas or rubber bullets. What is f****** p**** I think the border patrol probably Spanish and South American too that's why they don't want to do nothing

Why are they shooting tear gas and rubber bullets at them what the f*** is going

SubhanAllah, I guess we’re all moving inshaAllah lol. I have also been thinking about this for so long!!! I live in Cali and as much as I love it here, its not the best to raise my kids in especially the shootings, schools teachings and basically every single reason you’ve mentioned. May Allah make it easy for us all. Can’t wait to see where you move

REPENT ✝\n\nIf a person does not repent,\n    God* will sharpen his sword;\n    he will bend and string his bow.\nHe will prepare his deadly weapons\n    and shoot his flaming arrows.\n— Psalm 7:12-13

As a Turkish I would say don’t choose Turkiye!! My country system is secular education system so worse…I lived USA but I grew up in Turkiye I know the schools!!Yes it’s safe no school shootings like USA but the education is not good a especially for religious people I’m religious and long time ago before the Erdogan never allowed to hijab in schools now Erdogan changed but if the other secular politicians win everything changes very quickly I know it !!!Right now economy is going very bad in Turkiye and everything is so high prices !!!I love my country!!But I can tell the truth

Yeah maybe they shouldn't shoot Rockets into somebody else's land

So why tf do they shoot rockets to other people?

Why did they shoot rockets into isreal?

All of the children stuck in the war zone: Nobody can take them in, just until the shooting stops?

They worrying bout the wrong thing instead of worrying bout the mass shootings

All western financial systems are due a heavy crash they can not keep up with such vast amounts of people coming in and as in Europe the vast mass of illegals who can not work sucking up the benefits system raises taxes and demand for housing is shooting prices up. \nThe western governments went into money printing mode that creates inflation raising prices on every day goods and foods this can not be sustained for much longer before it all comes crashing down, This also affects places in schools and medical wait times with more people flooding in to the point in the UK where i live you can be waiting up to 5 hours for an ambulance and 3-6 months for an operation.\n25 years ago you could get a 2 bedroom house here for around 25k now you are looking around 150k-250k the kids born here have no chance of owning a home and most end up staying with parents up to their 30s-40s, Even private landlords are under threat from government buyouts that end up housing migrants and not our citizens its a real mess that has no signs of slowing.

There were more mass shootings in 2023 than days of the year. Like, almost double the numbers of days in a year. The US is seen as 'safe' only in comparison to active war zones and military dictatorships. By every metric in the developed world for safety, education, Healthcare the US is lacking.

Free Palestine…. The Palestinians in Gaza can never be free if Hamas is in power, Hamas attacks Israel and Israel responds, Hamas creates every war and confrontation in Gaza since it came to power, anyone who has a brain knows that before October 7th if the government of Gaza aka Hamas would stop calling for the ethnic cleaning of Jews in Israel, stop shooting rockets into Israel, or send terrorists to stab and shoot to death innocent Jews, etc. than Israel will be able to stop bombing Hamas targets in Gaza, Hamas has caused terrible suffering on their own civilians by stealing billions of dollars of the years in aid money that could have gone towards building the economy in Gaza, and instead used it for terror activities against Israel, thereby creating every conflict in Gaza.

You're only allowed to smoke crack, meth and shoot heroin in public here.

Why did rhey completely destroy gaza then when they got in 2005? And why do they keep shooting rockets at israel? Theres also a gaza blockade on egypts side and they never get rockets shot at them.

Yes he's right but the Palestinians don't have the right to be shooting rockets at innocent people and starting wars !!!!, hes no fool he doesn't want them thier either we are the only nieve ones opening our boardes to them !!!, thats why we need Trump !!!

Live peaceful by not shooting rockets at Israel for 20 years is also a option. ?

But Israelis don’t have the right to live in their land with out fear of rockets stabbings shootings etc etc ???\nעם ישאל חי לעולם ??❤️

Children ARE being shot in school on a daily basis. There are over 306 school shootings already for 2023 and the year isn't over, but students don't go to school year round, so its more than 1shooting per school day for certain. Students only have school between 160 and 180 days per year so that is almost 2 school shootings per day.

There is a problem with the suggestion of moving to a small town - I believe Columbine was a small town with no history of school shootings before the one at the local high-school there (which is world famous because of the shooting) carried out by two boys with guns.

I’m in Alberta. Half the cost of Ontario and BC. May as well say I’m Métis too. I’ll never leave Canada. Shocked people like the USA. Losing two friends to murder and lost a few acquaintances… One from Edmonton was killed in Los Vegas during that shooting. Healthcare is too much money as well. I had racist remarks for being Métis.

Canada - common sense laws regarding gun ownership \nUSA - 565 mass shootings in 2023 alone

While you probably don’t want to make a video about it, look up our school shootings stats and you’ll find we’ve had less then ten ever in our history. And that’s using the same stats that give you dozens to hundreds per year.
