Hello, I just watched your video. Three years after you made it. I hope you are still with us and a very belated Welcome. Many people throughout the world seem to have so many stereotypes about Americans. Whether it is good or bad there typically is some truth in a stereotype. Overall it seems like you are enjoying yourself and no matter what there is no place like home. I would think no matter what your current situation is you still miss Canada as I would miss the United States if I were to move to Canada. \nA couple things you mentioned in the video were not correct and as with anything there may be a little truth in the matter but yet still incorrect.\nThose who do not have health insurance are not charged or taxed $150 monthly. There is a provision in the affordable care act (ACA) that penalizes certain individuals who make above a certain dollar amount. The amount is either $150 or $300 for the entire year. I concur any monetary penalty against anyone for not having health insurance is outrageous. I could be wrong but I believe this aspect of the ACA was never implemented under President Obama and it was indefinitely suspended or revoked by President Trump. I also feel like I need to address your thoughts about the United States all about war. I believe the American people are like most other people and want peace and civility. The government and major defense contractors have differing opinions at times. Of course there is plenty of people who are war hawks but they are in the minority. Most of us are absolutely sick of war. We currently have been at war for almost 19 years. That's six complete world war 2's in their entirety. \nI think you were being awfully generous when you said obesity is on par with the rest of the world!! Unfortunately there is far to many fat people here and the problem is only getting worse because the media says be happy and proud you are fat. Celebrating obesity is absolutely insane and it sends the wrong message to young people. If a close one is fat of course I love them but I also tell them privately that they are a walking heart attack. It's more than OK to accept someone the way they are but as a friend or family member you doing them a disservice by not mentioning their obesity. \nI'm sorry if you feel I'm being to harsh or critical. I think it is a wonderful thing to share the world's longest border with such a great nation as Canada. I have always thought Canada was like the United States fraternal brother or sister. We are very much alike with a few beautiful differences that distinguishes from one another. It doesn't appear that you upload videos hear anymore but I hope you get the opportunity to read this. Thank you for coming to the United States and I love all my canadian brothers and sisters. Take care.

I learned something new today from watching this documentary, the fact that they actually named a town & a park Africville in the great white north. Some people are naive while others are not when it comes to racism. The very fact of the world has been conquered & dominated with the white supremacy mentality leave very little to be surprise that Canada had slaves. I think from what I've come to understands is that having slavery for 250 yrs most white Canadians will pretend to not be racist, but it's like those two kids in your class the one who had the paper thrown at him & the one who did it doesn't act like he did anything & the rest are just as bad because they saw who did it but are complicit by not saying anything. No one wants to be the rat, but at the same time they all know why the one kid that threw the paper did it & the one that had it done to them knows exactly why.

i have seen so many videos of ppl who have moved to canada and they share their experiences, i must say Im lucky to be in australia and the quality life we have here is matchless to canada.

I don’t know what’s problem with non muslims these days do they tell there women to dress according to their satisfaction in islam wearing or not wearing hijab doesn’t make you a good muslim nor a bad muslim at the day of judgement your good deeds will be counted not if she wore a hijab or she didn’t \nWhat if this person implements that every women should cover there bodies and makes wearing shorts banned in Canada so wouldn’t you all be offended and protest against that and would say that we want freedom of expression \nSo we should respect everybody’s culture and religion

Black couple here...montreal is the WORST. We got treated like second class citizens there...almost hit by a whit guy. Menu thrown at us by a white woman....followed in a few stores ...never again. If ur not black or brown how can u say Canada is tolerant? Most of u may be but the few bad apples make it very bad.

WOW SO YOUR SAYING CANADA WANT TO ENFORCE ITS LAWS WOW THEY SOUND LIKE HITLER LOL

Yes words hurt but honestly better then having milk shakes with possible corrosive material in them thrown and you for being a republican. Or for that matter having a different opinion. It only matters when it’s your beliefs that are attacked by words.\n\nI am not saying it’s ok, it’s not but any other country in the world and words would only be the beginning.\n\nDo you think people who come to the west looking for a better life do not know there are people who are afraid? Ok it seems the outraged are the people born in Canada and do not understand what real hate and suffering is...

My mom always said it's better to leave them guessing your stupid than to prove them right. This poor soul just proved his stupidity. Why not understand Islam before forming an opinion. Better yet, learn what a Sikh is too. Its Canada, we are a country of diversity. It's a good point to not not say you are not Muslim, but just say you don't agree with hate.

6:35 SHE SAYS THIS IS NOT AN EXPRESSION OF equality. And she is RIGHT.\nnot a GOOD MUSLIM submit or DIE.\nisis IS A TERRORIST STATE.\njihadis ARE ANTI CANADIANS . \nthe niqab and hijab : REPRESENT ISLAMIFICATION\nOF CANADA. this is NOT islams home.\nLISTEN TO LAST SENTENCE.

The sad fact on Canada, U.S and Europe, for centuries dominated of Christian faith, are slowly under silent invasion of Islamism. Inwhich, mostly of their refugees they have embraced from muslim states were those who have fled from conflict from their respective war torn countries due to religious related conflicts or extremism in Islam. And when they already live comfortably to a host country, they would slowly adopt or wanted to import Islam. And these already became a trend in Europe, U.S, Canada, Australia and to other free countries in the world. It can be observed in Europe, how many Minarets are erected or built out there. Demagogue politicians or political parties have been patronizing them to ensure majority bloc vote from Muslim communities. These is one of the big contributing factor on this places or continents. As what bible says, that we are not only dealing with flesh but also to evils, against their principalities and the lies and deceits. The exodus of Muslim immigrants or refugees from Middle East, was somehow a collaboration, conspiration and cooperation of rich arab muslim countries from petro dollars to flood the aforementioned states of muslim immigrants for future Islamic domination.

Say no to Sharia in Canada ??!!!!!

Mujhy aap say canada kay barymy baat karni hay plzzzz aapka whatsupp number dedo plzzzz mujhy ve canada apply karni hay tho plzzzzz

Don’t Americans (both USA and Canada) know that when they say: “go back to your country” does not make any sense?

I am shocked at the fact there are more dislikes than likes when the CBC provides facts and so many people say they are lies, and others agree! The negative sentiments about refugees and immigrants are getting louder and people are happy to call fellow human beings “them”. They insinuate this is a huge burden, when the fact is we benefit from migration. It seems people think Canada will be over run by people from a foreign land, take all the resources and eliminate people born here, but that’s only happened once, when the British and the French arrived 400 years ago.

Today in 2019 Trudeau said that what's going on in Europe won't happen here ,,, well alot has happened here in Canada since 2015 ,,, many would say a better Muslim is one that are not here in Canada .

Yet he refuses to learn English. As long as he gets what he wants. Despite showing no respect for Canada and only says what he wants from this country, not what he'll do for this country.

Hello bro very good video. I want to say work do Canada

Yes you are rite what you say I' did same when I came Canada it's really hard my work place very far almost 2hour train and bus now I m in Calgary my work place close to my home I'm making 23dollar for hour I m happy what I'm right now it almost 12year in Canada thank you for god for everything ???

I'm really not sure what Trudeau said to make him and other undocumented immigrants buy into this fallacy, but its a known fact that immigration to Canada is strict. Its actually far more stringent than even the US. He also does not qualify for asylum after having lived in the US for 15 years. I'm just confused about this whole thing? What exactly did Trudeau say? Can any Canadians confirm please? Trying to figure out if this guy simply didn't do his homework. =/

They say thier scared and being harassed. Lies lies lies, just like the kid that was attacked on the way to school. What if we all disguised our face, they are scary and racist. There's no way they should be allowed to hide Thier face in Canada. Canada is doomed like the UK

Not even surprised haha in Saskatchewan and Alberta, the slight racism is just normal I am really experiencing . One day, I even got this situation that I went to Costco at Medicine Hat and one kid froze his face and said “ why are you guy shopping here if you don’t speak English “ and this episode is just not even level one.\nI really wonder how white people can say Canada is their country . Seriously?? is Canada white people’s country ??

Yes I ran into racial profiling when I wanted to ask why CBC is biased and won't report fairly. Being white and male, I was told that my opinion is invalid, and in spite of the taxes I pay for their wages, I don't have any say. Moreover, because I am male, CBC's supreme leader Trudeau has dictated I am not allowed any sort of platform. This is an important issue! Why do you think these sterotypes are so prevalent CBC? Crime statistics? Day to day crime by certain groups? CBC hates the question why because it conflicts with their bias as mandated by identity politics. Once I can walk through any place in Canada and not simply see, with my own eyes, the obvious differences between people based on color, or am treated like a direct decendant of slave owners by our state run media, maybe then the forty-thousand years worth of tribal cues ingrained in me will change. Are there really no examples of white men changing the narrative? No exmples you can provide for us devils to follow? No studies on private donors who are trying to help? Maybe it's time for me to stop, as there is absolutely no recognition of my attempts to make changes. The withdrawl of financial support is now my protest against your bias. CBC-peddling division through diversity indoctrination...but you've got hip, edgy music and have vilified the evil white man so there's that...wicka wicka wack yall...

No one is forcing anyone to leave the country and go to Canada or lets say cannada. You are not doing any favor to anyone one.

Shukar hai kisi ne sch to bola .Nhi to yha NRI's aese ho k aate hai jaise canada pe victory e krli ho.See now people realise what's the pain of doing labour.Here our constitution gives full right of freedom to move anywhere ,right to speech still people here like treat other state people like they are strangers came from some other country.North south walo ko north east walo ko ,eastern part states ko aur aap canada ja k meager jobs krte hai and showed like they are super duper cool.Hmare log to apne e brother sisters ka kam krte hai unke kheto me kaam krte hai aur jo yha se jaate hai wo geroin ka kaam krte hai .I know remittance play very important role in our economy as I am a economics student.But I just want to say give respect to everyone in this world to every people.Our indians are there just modern labourers and our brothers here traditional just simple as that .And after if somebody got degree there ,no matters how good you are at academics first they will prefer their own white race then our people which is totally fine because they are their own people they need their security first and I understand that.I have a friend there .He told me indian students also do illegal work like working on cash or more hours than permitted.Sometimes more of different type which I can't say .but you can't judge whole race ,caste ,religion on the basis of this.Same principle apply everywhere.But I love to see my people are exploring more and learning new things there .My intension is just respect everyone with love and dignity.

It seems very strange behaviour by Canada when you only have to look at the places where these people come from to gauge the future for a western society with them in it. Their beliefs and their ideology demands so many transgressions of our laws that you have to make a decision whether you modify them or us or you just kinda sweep their continual law breaking under the carpet in order to placate them and the lefties who demand we embrace their idea of a social utopia which isn’t complete without an intolerant 7th century primitive culture in it.\nAll of which amounts to ignoring our own constitution and laws, which is just not acceptable because it violates the prime doctrine of the separation of powers in favour of an imported ideology that proclaims it is above the law just because it says so. And has assumed this capacity without due electoral process in accordance with existing laws and the constitution, which btw is illegal.\n\nGermany found an answer through an unelected body, the court, which is acceptable to them, they modified their own law to suit Islamic Sharia law ignoring their own constitution in the process. Germany has already modified their freedom of speech and the right to protest if it conflicts with Sharia in some fashion so Germany is on a downward spiral into totalitarianism against the majority and its own constitution. \nWhat will follow is anarchy if nobody in authority is going to adhere to the constitution and the law.

Why they go to canada? America? Europe? All around the west?\nWhy they don't go to saudi arabia as they say saudi is rich country with natural resources.

Dear video maker , it's nothing new in your life in Canada. Even people around the world including local people and local students are doing same . And it's nothing new to travel 2 or 3 hours in bus . People who stays in USA from ages are travelling same in car . Every students are expecting same life with them who are living in foreign from ages . Those people might had struggled more . Student has to understand before going on Student visa that with situations rather than keeping intrest in how to make money. 99 % students are interested in only money from day one .But foreign governments think that you have shown your financial documents, are enough for you to survive there even if you have no Job . And it's depends on the country, in which country you have gone and what is your qualification. If students go to UK or USA , thay might make little more money comparing to Canada, Australia or New Zealand. All students should understand before going to any country that only in USA AND UK country are the best to earn money and getting out money from there to india. Otherwise except these two countries none country is there in the world that you can make money there and send maximum money to india. Except these two countries other countries have made situation that whatever you earn there , you will have to spend in that country only. You can't save money to india for living good life in India. And it is good and thankful those countries where person after 18 years has go for job rather than being dependent on parents. And working in bakery with standing whole hours during job is not a new in those English country. They don't force to do that by law . This job is kind of that. Person has to understand job profile before joining the job . By English country law before you start job they will call you for induction and will explain what job you have to do . Life person is happy for that job , he / she can join the job . I think specially students has to look into positive things which in India students are not doing and thay have to do there in foreign countries. I am not trolling you but look into students life where local students in foreign are living and same. If you think this is struggling life then I can say this is not struggling life , students has to think first if they have gone for study or making money from first day. If you are complaining than my suggestion is that look into positive things and if you are just informing that it's good. Good luck

Dont trust them, it says in the quran to lie and decieve to get what they want! Wake up Canada!

An Islamic culture can't exist in Canada (No matter what Trustin says) . -- We don't have deserts or camels.

The refugees get wrong information through social media saying that Canada, U.S. and Europe will take all refugees in and they will get a free car and a free house! This is not the case! When they come here they find out the truth!

The biggest corruption case in Canada, ended with about 5 people serving less than 4 years in prison each. They got millions and their fraud cost Canadians billions of dollars. I am talking about the CUSM-SNC Lavalin fraud in Montreal. If this is the kind of sentence you get in Canada for those crimes, well we are literally saying to the honest people here, go and do crime as well!

Don't believe her. All or most Chinese lie for personal gain. I would say most Asian lie for personal to come to the US or Canada.

16:14 when the journalist said one of the biggest immigration fraud of canada he turn his back to the camera and his head seem to say something else he know his head said no i am not the biggest so he know something the journalist don't

If you're not Native American or Aboriginal of Canada you have no say in this immigration waves

This report is absolutely wrong with its description of islam growing the fastest in Canada. If you immigrate 200K per year every year that clearly shows an official plan to replace Christian Canadians. Why doesn’t Canada immigrate 200K white Christians for the next Decade? \nAm I allowed to say that. \nIslam is homophobic and should be illegal and the Koran is a hate speech document.

Canada has to move into the 21st century, if China's not importing illegal fentanyl and killing Canadians their defauding our gov't, like wake the fu@%up\nOur gov't i hate to say is incompetent makes me mad

So people are saying the non white immigration is bad ? Immigration to Canada is difficult people have to wait up to 10 years to be accepted....

It is expensive in Canada to live. And to fight. Apparently Trudeau loves terrorists, more... I apologize that you were mislead. He gave 10.5 million to Omar Khdar. What more can I say... It's bullshit, man... And now he owns a daycare, right across from a school... I don't know how many tears I have left, but they keep coming.... for real.

canada has to look to the United States and opposition to the United States to form its own identity. there isnt a canadian culture strong enough to say 'yeah i am canadian. this is what makes me canadian'. instead, ''what makes me canadian is that i am not american!''

The border patrols on the Canada America border says they are seeing more illegals crossing the north border into America at record numbers, we are being over run by all these illegals bankrupting social security benefits. Why does one anchor baby receivers $2,400 a month and the mother receives free everything even child care , why do they receive so much money for braking the law while Americans are homeless, you won't find a single homeless immigrant but hundreds of thousands of Americans are

If muslim has no respect to western law they should not have fair tretment , what happen if muslim lesve in canada and says no nonmuslim can panished them

like any immigration the found a loophole and cannot be rightfully charged under Canadian law that way Canada is a very good place to hind in there are protected as immigrants or as a Canadian it should be the birthplace is you first them Canada not when you get into trouble in your homeland that Canada needs to help you \nsame as when ISIS saying they are from Canada. Canadian has turn there backs on the terrorists and let the law over there take care of them why would Canada have to house a terrorist Canadian should punch them by death on coming back Canadians have done this in the passed to Canadian in the first world war and the second as well Canadian law is outdated we need to have substantial law in place for this meaning death will have less immigration thinking to come to Canada

i am watching this polygamy video and u have disabled the comments. first thing first. u dont have to go to imam to verify that if its illegal in canada or not. when the law of the land says its illegal its haram in islam. Allah said follow the rule of the land. follow the law where u live. damned are those people who disgrac islam like this. u see imam himself said it cant be registered. if one marriange cannot be registered how can it be legal in the country so how can it be halal in islam its just common sense. ill tell u what they are doing. they are having their conscience clear that they are not commiting the sin but Allah know well whats in yr hearts. i was jsut telling this exact thing about canada the other day and he did not agree with me but that does not stop me speaking truth.

It looks like crime does pay in Canada. This piece of work should have been deported and never let back into Canada again, also authorities must start investigating corrupt immigration lawyers who knowingly skirt many laws and coach illegal immigrants on what to say and how to act when questioned by immigration officials. Thank you Fifth Estate for bringing this story to light.

Some people say come in legally, but he can't seek asylum just because he wanted to protect his family or want a better life for his children. It doesn't work that way. He has to have documentations or proof that his life or family's life is in DANGER. That is why he can't come in legally because he will not be approve on just those conditions, surprisingly even in Canada. When Trump was tough on the illegals on our southern borders, I remembered seeing Canada PM said they are welcomed in Canada. I guess many people heard it too and took him up on his offer. What happened Trudeau having to eat crow, eh?

i say throw them all out of Canada and take every penny from them they own

And people say that charging the Huawei CEO and worsening ties with China is a bad thing. Imo it's great. They're putting out propaganda in China now because of it to their people that Canada is a bad place. \nThey've ruined Vancouver's housing market and they're coming for Toronto's as we speak.

i say uck them all. if she wants to live in canada so bad . put her in jail for 5 years.

HA! And they say there's no racism in Canada.

Canada plays the game. They are manipulating the public. It's definitely a political tactic. Like for instance, why Say you provide free healthcare, but the healthcare is like the ☆☆'s of health insurance. You need to buy a supplemental insurance to actually get anything done promptly. They say they welcome asylum seekers, but fail to mention the legal hurdles and the unlikelihood of being able to stay. I just don't understand how people are failing to notice Canada's tactics to manipulate the American public to betray allegiance from the United Staes.
