Vancouver is a depressing place!! I am Canadian and proud of it!! The government is not kind to its citizens. It is like the US. It is cold! Yes!! But at least we are not being shot at!! But tgat will happen in time! Crime is fucked here! Tooooo much!! I do love tge music though! Especially in the seventies!! April Wine, Prism Triumph Rush!! I appreciate you being honest, but until there is a better country available, I will have my passport as CANADIAN. Good luck!! If I would move, it would be Vietnam!! Maybe I can be of use there!!! God bless you!!

​@BriarPatchson Fun fact you should have researched. The largest share of the housing stock in the United States as of 2021 was built between 1975 and 1979. There were 18.5 million homes built during this period, whereas the homes built between 2016 and 2019 were less than six million. Rough estimates 158 million Homes. Are there empty homes, apartments, sky risers,. Yes. You are fixing to find yourself in misery soon enough if this is allowed to continue. The money is not there for most Americans to foot the bill. It's pure insanity to think otherwise. The more you know the better prepared you will be.

This is how Democrats, and the people who control them, fight their war. against the US, against western civilization. They Will bombard a country with countless teeming hordes of people , usually Brown if they can manage it. To destabilize and overthrow the government. Especially their own.\n Yes, the same people also control at least half of the republicans, but it's the Dem's, the party of slavery and the party of the KKK, which is their ultimate weapon (After the Media come out of course).

Bc it’s not your land tf y’all keeping the people that lived here before you out like they have a right to be there, but y’all will do anything to keep it protected from us fucking white people. Yes I said while people bc they’re the ones that did it

USA is best country in the world. Yes of course we have our issues like all nations, but ppl literally risk their lives to come live here.

Yes if someone everytime keep and use weapons so what going on it's obvious and normal' because u not allowed publicly showcase weapons in india only respect for tradition but they kahlistani now situation on pther country ???

yes sponsor me too

YES DONT LET THEM IN

This is from 2 months ago. They didn’t succeed. The border is very heavily defended. Just more needless gaslighting about immigration. Yes, there are issues- if the GQP is so hellbent on “closing” the border they should properly fund the border patrol.

You forgot 1 major point-\nAt least here in Canada, we don't have to live in fear of gun violence. We don't send our children only for them to be massacred in their schools. At least our politics doesn't revolve around Jesus, guns and abortion (though our politicians are also crap). At least we don't have to break bad to pay for even simple medical procedures. At least our cities aren't overrun by homeless while our rural areas are not overrun by hillybillies. \n\nWhile yes in general Americans are richer, the fact is that only the top 10 percent live better. Not the homeless piling up in the cities, not the 3rd world shanties in the Appalachians and south and certainly not the thousands living in the American jail system. It's crazy how bad a country can be despite being rich.\n\nI was born and raised in the US. I have lived in Canada and much poorer countries like Spain and Portugal. Let me tell you, Americans live the worst life out of all. In much poorer Spain, people still have universal education till university, good healthcare, good public transportation system and they don't have to eat the frozen crap most Americans eat. Spanish people eat fresh meat, fruits, cheese and vegetables and drink some of the best wine, despite earning much less than Americans and working astonishingly low hours. Moreover, their cities are livable, not like the concrete jungle of Texas. \n\nYes America is rich but DUDE, Its seriously third world, if you arent rich and successful.

People will suffer as long as we continue to be selfish and only think of our own well being. Yes there is Law to respect but they are desperate looking to work for the most part. Why can’t we help them? I agree they shouldn’t come through this means but what other choices do they have!? This will never be solved.

yes

Some good points were touched on. We need solutions! What does this mean?\n\n- We need some immigration discipline. Yes, it's great to let immigration in, especially ones that pay taxes, but it's overburdening both the rental/housing demand (which needs opposing pressure to lower prices) as well as healthcare demand, which is not being properly addressed. Instead our healthcare system is flooded. And it's inefficient and expensive as is already. We just need to tame the number of people we allow in, and grow our ability to self-sustain first.\n- It's too late now, but government policies to give out money during COVID was poorly executed, yet plentiful. When 40% of currency was printed in the last year/two, no doubt we will have inflation. This was never touched upon in the video. Resources/social supports should have been provided rather than just straight up $$$. There was an excess of money given to places they shouldn't have been. We saw a boom in industries like say hobbies and games, showing additional money being wasted where it should have been used for food and shelter. \n- Canadian government is not trying to be as aggressive to retain Canadian companies. We are heavily dependent on US corporations and hence the brain drain as well. Salaries do not compare, especially when remote work is now possible. \n\nWe are already deep in the hole and need to be more financially responsible. I'd strongly disagree with the last statement in this video that we are perceived as corrupt (there's been lots of civil unrest because of government misspending). We are civil and polite, but that's not what helps economies grow, as OCED forecasts as well.

Canada is sold out ....a terrible place .....Perhaps Canada was .....Not the case anymore ...least corrupt ??? lol who paid for that commercial ? i am a fourth generation and rapidly becoming a minority group in the place I was born. What store product is Canadian as I see another amazon or walmart pop up . I will be dead before I find a family doctor . sorry for the rant but off I go to look for a cardboard box to live in.. bit dramatic? yes haha but seriously Canada is not what it was. Than again none of the world is.

Countries like that think America is so great but they really don't know how bad America is right now We have our own problems everyday gets worse. Yes I hate that their country is no good but us Americans have our own problems right now

Yes the liberals are incapable of using a calculator and have no clue about economics!

I think people with You Tube videos promoting Canada as a place to live are paid to do those videos. \nYour assessment regarding Canada is bang on. \nI feel sad for people who come here with the belief that their lives will be better, Only to find out that they are far worse off. \nI've noticed the cost of groceries and housing have tripled in the last few years.\nVery difficult to get a Dr in Canada. 50.000 people in my small province are without a Dr. \nPeople are being neglected by Canada's healthcare system to the point of dying right in the hospital waiting rooms or while waiting for an ambulance. Yet, A huge chunk of taxes go toward healthcare. \nHomeless encampments are on the rise as landlords are gouging people for exorbitant rent. Streets are lined with homeless people and with the high cost of living it could be anyone of us carting our humble belongings around in a shopping cart.\nIf you have children I'd avoid sending them to Canadian schools and opt for homeschooling. Your children will be read to by drag queens while sitting on some strangers lap. \nThis week in class my neighbors son class will be showing boys how to paint their nails. They've already been taught about every kind of sexual position and how to use condoms and butt plugs. Yes, Even elementary students!\nThe school libraries are filled with books that promote pedophilia. \nThey want your children dumbed down and sexualized at an early age.\nWars are instigated because the greedy globalists want the land and resources and the politicians regardless of their colors are all in the pockets of a few elitists who rule over the many.\nThe globalists know that war creates all of the things they support. \nDepopulation, Refugees, Who they want for cheap Labor, Land the refugees left behind for the resources to fill their troughs with. \n\nMy apologies for the long diatribe and Thank You Sir for being an honest and informative voice regarding the truth about Canada. \n\nI was born and raised here and my dream is to leave. \nEven Russia or China is starting to look good compared to Canada.

The problem can be summed up easily: Can the liberal party spend money on it? They will. Will it cause debt? Yes. Will they fix it? No. Will the conservatives be forced to fix it? Yes. Will people hate the conservatives for taxing them to fix the debt? Yes. Will liberals get voted back in when people are tired of being broke despite being broke under Liberals? Yes. Can the liberal party spend money on it? They will. repeat until you're happy with Justin.

America is already on its brink, many don’t realize it but these next 3/4 presidents we have, policies, etc. Along side what people of faith allow to go on, Along side music agendas, other political agendas that coexist, More of a possibility our Cold War with China gets physical by way of Taiwan at any moment, Korea…, Lack of both fundamental and natural Resources (used irresponsibly), Division due to government neglect to correct past decisions/often tends to cover up/erase/rewrite/censor “the victor gets to rewrites history” type shit, American dollar is starting not to mean shit in more places outside the States/territories (since we took it off the gold standard), let’s see there’s people still recovering from the housing market/Wall Street crash, recession, Homelessness in not just vets, youth (children) as well, Lack of Men’s Rights Across the board which is a bigger time Bomb; than what people think, Huge population decline due to modern Feminist Ideology and its affects on boys who were born and grew up in its prime (90s-early 2000s) if you go back through movies tv shows music you’ll see and hear comments, things, innuendos, references to things that foreshadowed what is happening now: to name a few contributors: Beyoncé, Oprah, Vivica Fox, Welfare, CIA, FBI, make up/fashion industry, etc. A new generation of confused, dense, savants that couldn’t tell you a woman from a beef stick… my bad my bad tells you that you can be woman even with a beef stick, Violations of constitutional right regularly by the ?who forget they work for, “The People” the people who pay their bills and put food on their tables. The government first normalizing unnatural sexuality(if you can’t reproduce “be fruitful and multiply”, I.e. man x women) you don’t see it working in nature seahorses somewhat excluded: my meaning of unnatural sexuality; Teaching it in schools some places too authoritarian rights away from parents, schools/music/media/tech raise kids nowadays not parents some places. Trying to normalize pedophilia in government a few bills her in Cali, a few movies on certain platforms, certain inappropriate clothing types for minors from a company made for adult women by a old man, Edw/Bel/Jac series yes 100+ year old going after a 16-17 year old, and an adult male “imprinting” on a baby, he later got in relationship with (not sus yeah mmm okay). Yeah we don’t need anymore problems in this country. Fight your own battles leave us out of it please.

This makes me mad because I live in Newfoundland one of the coldest provinces. And in winter you don't need 2 pairs of pants 5 socks 3 jackets yes you need mittens and a hat but it's not that's bad you won't look like it olaf was a human if you spend 5 seconds outside

yes want to say one more thing i never read but

I have travelled all over Europe South America USA & Canada. I love Victoria BC & Vancouver I think they are both very beautiful places yes sadly expensive, buty I never liked Spain I personally much rather live in either Vancouver or Victoria. And yes there are beautiful Beaches in other places . But I will always love Victoria & Vancouver.

Yes 1p

I'm canadian and yeah, while the healthcare can be tricky sometimes, in cas of a emergency, it's not that tricky. I had to go to the ER 2 times in 3 month because of a pneumothorax, arrived there, pass in 15 min approximatly both time and was in charge, spent 1 week each time there and the second time even had to have a part of my lung removed. Had no real tricky manipulation to do or anyhing. I was just happy it cost me absolutely nothing and I think it's definetly a reason why the lifespan is higher since in case of an emergency, if I was in the US and had to pay, I would have actually died, since I don't have the money for it, I'm a student so... (that also helps, my session cost me around 200 bucks... yeah, 200, I'm in college). Healthcare should really be something free everywhere, you never know when a shit can happen and... you can't really prepare your bank account for it...\n\nSorry for the bad english, I'm a native french speaker (yes, I'm from Québec)

Yes the liberals have no clue on how to use a calculator or basic economics 101.

In these kind of comparaisons, it's always important to keep in mind that Canada has 10 provinces and 3 territories. Each province and territory have their own way of doing things. So it's pretty much like 13 countries into 1. One thing in Ontario is not gonna be the same as in BC for example. So, whatever someone experiences in Ontario will not be the same elsewhere. Like taxes for example, it's different from 1 province to another. So, it's best for someone who wants to move to Canada to do their research on each province because they do things differently from one another. \n\nAlso in terms of traveling to countries that are closer, yes the UK gets a point because all the other European countries are closer. But in Canada, when you leave a province for another one it sometimes feels like you left for another country ? . Besides the US and Mexico, Canadian also go to Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Brasil, Argentina, Turks and Caicos(lots of Canadian go there that at one point the island was even considering becoming the 11th province of Canada ?) .\n\nIn terms of diversity, it's not that much different from the UK. All the big cities are very diverse, just like the UK. Also, Toronto is the most diverse city in the world.

Yes let the cartel in. Let them run our country like Mexico. Surely good will come out of it.

This is just the distraction (started with rumors) for what is happening about 12 miles away. Yes, I live in El Chuco.

It seems that Canada is not a successful and prosperous country. It has become almost impossible to buy a house by working. it takes millions of immigrants but there are already millions of unemployed in the country, do they take so many immigrants to fill the empty lands, yes, but immigrants are not filling materials

? yes yes yes bum rush America ???

YES YES YES...however the homelessness is a RESULT OF THE LIBERALS. 100 percent more than expected. THE LIBERALS are the ones giving the drugs. Not the PC party. Many are thinking of leaving until the PC party gets in.

I’ve been watching this video and others like it for decades. Yes, the richest and most dynamic economy in the world is richer and more dynamic than Canada’s. Stop the presses!

Canada is a land of expensive milk and honey, with a racist attitude, prejudiced, overpaid and incompetent ministers; invisible ceilings in corporations and yes very few non whites at board level. High taxes that are wasted by the government and more recently a finance minister that has not even done accounting 101.

Hi!Thank you for your detailed video.I am applying for my mother's visit visa.I would like to ask 2 questions (1)What will I answer in the question,If the child is not in Canada,will they accompany you in Canada?As I am here already in Canada.Do I need to answer Yes or No? (2)Do I need to sbmit my pay stubs even my mother will be responsible for her expenses here except for the accomodation.If yes,how many pay stubs do I need to sbmit?I hope to get a reply from you.Thank you.

YES..I FEEL SORRY FOR THEM, BUT THEY NEED TO UNDERSTAND YOU CAN'T JUST COME ACROSS PEOPLES BORDERS LIKE THAT, WE HAVE RULES AND LAWS HERE TO PROTECT US ..THEY HAVE TO FIND WAYS TO MAKE LIFE BETTER FOR THEM...

Yes, it is a crime, get used to it or get out and go back to chaiwalla land

I’m Canadian Citizens been moving out since 15 years never regret looking back ! just to be straightforward no to Canada yes to USA has 52 states of choices lots opportunities second best Australia huge warm weather lots to offers with natural resources . Please bear with me ….????

Ah yes let's bring more people when we have no healthcare no housing no public transit

Good morning Kemi, please you said your husband didn't do WES and IELTS. Please did you say YES when asked if your spouse is going with you to Canada?

Yes I would of thought America would be the last place you'd want to go to

We are all human beings at the end yes we have our own problems but our government is strong enough to provide shelter food and protection there’s billionaires with a lot of rooms and a fucking mansion more than half those immigrants can live in the fucking mansion!! Y’all need to get real!

Hold on are those people from Venezuela? If yes ?! Then it's usa fault that they country is in ruin , so yes let them in a give them benefit as well !!!

They really need to do all this, yes 100% BUT in their own country, not a foreign land that they want as their future home. We already have problems here that we can't fix.

There are millions of undocumented Immigrants in the US that have been living here for decades… they file taxes, no crimes, and yes I understand they are not here “legally” but now these people are just entering the US and getting everything?? Work permit, social security…. Something needs to be done.

Sorry to say but originally this is a free world that's how god made it. Laws create borders . Without law unfortunately the world would be a zoo it's a hard pill to swallow especially when u are Latino an u see this. I don't understand why Venezuela an south America is so poor now . They need better laws more resources new order every country should learn from the us . ? White Americans will never no how it's feels to a migrant a minority so I really don't appreciate the soft talk these topics should be up to the political system and yes the border should be well protected and respected. Our country is the strongest military I'm the world right? We need to show it.

We should open our arms to the good people of this world, yes there will be bad along with the good but we are Canadians and we will manage!!!

What the Clown News Network's fans fail to realize is that somebody still has to sort out these people in the US.\nIt makes for loooong 12 hour shifts. And yes, criminals are a plenty among them.

A man came to my job looking for work. Unfortunately we where not hiring. I asked him politely are you legal to work here because I know some people that are hiring. He says yes the government already gave me a medical card, cell phone and some $$. I've been here my entire life. I've had to work for everything I have ... Doesn't seem fair.

Yes and Biden still insists there’s no crisis at the border ?

Yes VENEZUELANS! Not MEXICANS\nGet it right!??
