There is no economy for accepting more asylum seekers. The system is already drained with Ukraine,Afghan, and other refugees. Trudeau government needs to rethink their strategy to why this helps us. \nInterest rates and inflation are to help offset the war in Ukraine. That needs to be compared to another Afghanistan. Most likely, we will be in it for the long haul and pull out if it never ends. Our country will pay the price drastically.

I live just outside of Montreal, pretty near the border. One of my good friends used to live in Vermont, right near the border and we would visit each other several times a year. She moved to Tennessee, and I flew down to visit her a few years ago (haven't been down since COVID) while Trump was still president and I'm not even joking when I say that as soon as I left Nashville I was highly anxious 100% of my time there. And I'm white, I'm not a visible minority, I suppose if I kept my mouth shut nobody could tell I'm not from there, it really hit me how sad it is that I even felt that. All these patriotic gun toting Americans I feared would shoot me for whatever reason they could come up with. I understand that that's not ACTUALLY likely, I was glad I left my husband and children at home, and while I enjoyed my weekend there I couldn't WAIT to get back home. New England was easier to handle, but I'm not cut out for the openly racist, homophobic, anti women's rights, you name it kind of discussions. I was horrified that not only do people ACTUALLY think like this, but those who are being oppressed, or those who simply support those being oppressed are having to keep quiet for fear of being murdered because of this. Nashville was really cool, I loved it, but I truly feared for my safety outside of the city, despite being a straight white woman. I can't imagine what it's like for the minorities, it's so sad. I think you hit the nail on the head when you said that you're just numb to it, because being on the outside looking in, it's hard to believe what's actually going on, it looks as though the country is regressing,

I lived there for a wee bit when I was younger.... and that's definitely a big ole heck no... I like having health care....

I would of moved to the U.S. prior to Ronald Reagan. Since then it seems like money goes to the rich, who profit by sending it out of the country. The wealth and value for American workers has gone down drastically ever since. And everyone is bitter about it, so now they're taking it out on each other over minor stupid shit. This whole find a place that's okay feels so much like burying your head in the sand. It's sad that Americans would be more informed on reality if all sources of their media ceased to exist.

30 years ago there were parts of the US, like Detroit, that i was willing to drive through to get to a better part of the US. Now, there are no good parts left to drive to. So i won't even visit anymore.

tabarnak is like fuck....but more euh aggressive...lolll

While you may not like the school shooting comment, as of data from 2020, the US child death rate by firearms was 5.8 / 100,000 population. Compared to the next country in the world (Canada at 0.8 deaths / 100,000). Also, the death by firearms is now the leading cause of death for children in the USA, more so then even motor vehicle deaths... which is absurd. Sorry but the USA has a serious gun problem, and more of them is not the solution. Btw, a proud Canadian here, who has travelled and worked extensively across the US. I def. would not live long-term in the US.

Guy on the right looks like Ryan Gosling

The cost of living in the world is outrageous as it is!!! I couldn’t imagine having to budget in a bulletproof, backpack and bulletproof vest as school supplies on top of everything else because idk about y’all but I wouldn’t buy them at Walmart or Kmart hahahah! And fyi Canada isn’t as accepting as the propaganda makes it seem! The idea people have is what I like to call a maple washed idea that the media puts out there

Tyler we are bombarded with videos of robbing, mass shootings, crazy Neighbours, car jackings, corrupt police, drug infested streets and homelessness, crazy politics etc. every day. Some of this happens in Canada but in tiny doses and that's the way I like it. California use to be beautiful now it's a ghetto. I used to love going down, but I stay home now and plan on traveling to Europe.

“Canada, you are the kindest country in the world. You are like a really nice apartment over a meth lab.” -Robin Williams

Everybody should be allowed to wear knives if he can wear his don't like it go back home

Tyler, with complete respect you DON'T get why we generally have no interest in moving to the US. You constantly talk about 'you just have to find the right place to live'. True of anywhere, but here the choice would be about preferences and afordability, NOT to avoid gun violence or shunning because of political views.\nThere is no where in Canada I could move to where gun violence would be a big factor to consider (we have rough places, and gun violence, but STRICT gun laws). Let me give you some perspective. In 2019 the USA had 37,038 gun related deaths. (No other causes of death- JUST all gun death). In Canada, in 2019, our death by illegal means (which does include suicide, as it is illegal) was 5,874. (That is for ALL types of homicide, not just guns). And the government was shocked by the increase that year and tightened gun restrictions further.\nYou talk about having certain States more Red or Blue. We aren't bi- partisan, so our politics are a melting pot. You might have people you disagree with everywhere you go, but you will also always find an equal group who thinks similar (unless your an extremist). And even the people who think different will generally agree to dis- agree. There is next to nowhere in Canada where your political views would get you run out of town. \n\nYou are USED to thinking like an American. (Fair, your American; I think like a Canadian) Trust me, as a Canadian, there are aspects of the accepted American culture (your country's way of life) that is boarderline terrifying to people here.

Why skip over the US abortion ban? The right to have an abortion is allowed Canada wide. The US is dumbing down and is homophobic, transphobic and banning books like the Nazis.

not using email is not using outdated tech, we do have emails but most people including myself dont like using emails. I prefer talking to a human directly. Besides it was Canada that invented the phone. I am proud of my country's legacy and will stick with the phone. \nSpeaking of outdated technologies, email are outdated. The modern way to comunicate is by text because not only is it easy to read your text like emails but whenever they need comes you can switch to vocal and talk directly and if you want you canturn on your camera and see who you are talking to.... Cant do that with email.

Ita true about the mass shooting though.i just Google mass shootings in the US in this year. Although there is not always a large body count there have been like 387 mass shooting in America this year. Don't get me wrong they aren't all school shootings but this just shows that you don't seem safe really anywhere

I would never move to a third world country like the US.

If you ever come to Canada. I know your friend from Canada. He will give you the directions to our home. We would like to welcome you to visit and stay. We welcome everyone. This is not something we promote, it is who we are. It is why we love our Country. \n\nI want to see a video of you travelling to every Canadian Province and Territories. We would welcome you!???❤️

Canada is going to be handover to Khalistani like Afganistani Talibal

From your comments, i hear that you feel safe because your health insurance is purchased through your employer. How safe is your health care if you loose your job? In Canada, we still get health care. Our heath care is covered through our taxes. Like road upkeep, schools etc.. Even our ambulace care cost will be covered, if you can not afford it. But, what happens when you reach retirement? Is your health care free? I understand people in the US work way passed retirement age just to have health care. So unfair.

I lived in MA for 17 years. I liked it and have many friends from there. I would go back, but yes, the healthcare would stop me. Getting older, needing more medical intervention. Not having to worry about healthcare costs is easy. I also said that the US was one step away from being behind the iron curtain. There is not the same freedoms there as there is here in Canada. The media controls the nation. Too much news. Not so here.\n\nWhile in Florida recently, my friends granddaughter was in a mall hiding from an active shooter. She was calm, I was hysterical.

Why is the northern border not wide open like the southern border?\n When I retire I want to walk right into the states and live the rest of my life without ever seeing snow again...

I lived in Phoenix AZ for 3 years and I miss the state and the travel opportunities close to it, the scenery was absolutely gorgeous, people were nice and friendly for most of them. I surely don't miss the violence associated to a big city like that and the heat in summer but I still miss AZ. I was feeling unsecured cause of the health care and the cost related to it since I was getting older.

Mm. You do look just like the sort of person someone in Middle America would be comfortable being nice to, though, Tyler...

I like the US but I'm the father of two teenage daughters so it's not an option.

I like the US weather and being into old cars I love the rust free old cars. I have driven across the US twice and I really like the American people. I don't think guns are needed in a modern society.

Health care has probably been a top reason for a long time.. also mass shootings.. but lately.. we have anti abortion transphobic regressive types here as well.. but it feels like the odds of them getting into power broadly is pretty slim.

And this is coming from the country that sell guns to citizens like candies in a kid's shop . ? Hypocrisy of ideology

Why doesn't anything like this happen when I take flights too?. I have the most boring fights of them all?

pls put families together when there are seats available especially young children. seems like the enraged man is saying something about his daughter? seems like the passenger on the left side has insulted his child, or maybe worse.

Visited Canada as tourst But didn't like\ndue to unusual vast snowfall and cold

I wish people would fight against TAxes like this.

Too much money and power make people arrogant like that.

No one would cross the Russian border like that they would all be shot. Only the enemy Wood Cross illegally. How easy would it be for the Taliban or isis to attack from a unprotected border?

So many unresolved issues. People walking wounded and crying like bitches.

Shitty people....Who pumped up real estate like crazy making future generations to deal with trauma forever.

Trudeua has let in so many immigrants theyre eveyrwhere peopel keep claiming Chinada but its east indians eveyrwhere they ar eliterally everywhere and they open a sotore r buy it and charge up the ass for things they will eventually price themselves out of the market that time cant come soon enough i think they see canadians as weak people and they try to take advantage of it...they charge 10 dollars for abag of chips they care nothign about Canadians. i dont like them...many of them anyway the amount that was here before was fine but they are literally everywhere you cant go one day without seeing one and they run the stores everywhere now theyre way up norht and they overcharge for eveyrthing..its ridiculous thank Trudeua for letting these fools in

She is my daughter how dare you talk to her like that. \nHonestly speaking this s***** bag fathers are the reasons why some girls get so much courage to do bad things. So what if she is your daughter old dru nk man? She is a human being and will be questioned if she does something wrong.

Lol Anna looks like a domestic abuse victim and Anastasia looks like the perpetrator in the thumbnail. I was worried for a second.

The U.S. has the best health care delivery system IN THE WORLD! Do it like the U.S. does, Canada. Privatize it all. Government can't do healthcare.

Why does the female screamer sound like she is being gutted alive? Entitlement sounds much like that these days huh

Stay hating on immigrants acting like our government hasn’t been fucking up latin America for the last century. A few examples of this:\nThe 1954 coup in Guatemala\nThe 1973 coup of Chile\n1976 coup in Argentina \n1971 coup in Bolivia \nThe bay of pigs invasion in Cuba\nThe Salvadoran civil war from 1979-1992\nThe list goes on an on. US intervention is actively keeping these countries poor.

I live in canada and am starting my final year of high-school in the fall. I have a lot of friends my age, none of us are planning to stay. All of us are going to the States or Europe. We're not leaving because we don't like Canada, we're being forced out because its too expensive to survive. The last two years have been a slow realization that the options for people my age are A) live on the support of your parents for the rest of your foreseeable life, B) become homeless, or C) leave.\n\nIts especially painful because a lot of people here came from immigrant families who worked hard to come here for a better life for their kids, just to have their kids leave for elsewhere or even return to their country of origin.

1. Canadians don’t call this their home! They move here, Work here, and send money “ home “ making them a detriment to our nation \n\n2. Look at the USA and how they are Americans with national pride! That is their home!! They care for it! And call them selfs Americans. If you compare this to Canada we have to many people who just want to escape where they come from and want to go back! This is not their home and they would go back to where they came from if they could! If Canada had a war and we gave they a way to go back to where they came from they would! No pride in our great nation is the real problem ? And the USA has pride and glory and their people call it home and take care of it! \n\nSo what we can take from this is that when you take a bunch of people from around the world and plop them into a place to work !!! It’s not their home nor do they respect it like it is! ? So we suffer

Like ur all vlogs and ur 1 podcast best

Well explained. I like your honesty. Good video ??

Forget parents, even many immigrants are unhappy in Canada. Every time I run into an Indian who has studied or lived in US he is frustrated. 2 people in my team received their Canadian citizenship and have started trying for positions in US. 3 white Canadians in our company moved to US in last 2 year itself.\nCanada is not a great country from parents. It's cold, white and depressing throughout. Many parents can stay for relatively longer in California or Texas where there is vibrant community and weather is very much like India. I lived for 10 years of life in snow before moving to Canada - Massachusetts, North Carolina and Virginia. I just 2 winters, I feel depressed in Canada as it's white for 4 to 5 months.

Captain be like..... To fly or To deliver justice !

knife is a weapon and should not be carried like this by anyone...irrespective of the religious faith one follows.

Why don't they go through the immigration procedure the legal way like the rest of the world?
