it's funny I moved to Canada a little over a year ago and I want to move back to Australia for some of the reasons you want to leave Australia and more. Housing affordability here is a pipe dream unless you like living near mountains and want a laid back life like the life in Perth, in Calgary. But Calgary's job market is not great and that pretty much extends to every province except Ontario and BC. Living cost in Canada is very high... compared to what I experienced in AU, this is more expensive than living in Sydney. (I live in Toronto but this extends to Vancouver as well.) The healthcare system is weak, inefficient and inconvenient. Bureaucracy is again very slow, inconvenient and in some cases so backwards. Banking is not great, super inconvenient, not people-centric, inefficient and very much backward imo.. work-life balance or quality of life is way better in AU. Infrastructure development is slow and not great at all for a world-class country and personally, I expected better from Toronto.. (I do understand why it is the way it is right now, some justified reasons but some not so much) Things I do give props to CA... Diversity and inclusiveness is not just marketing slogan like in AU.. I don't feel like an outsider here... Its incredible. Job market is here much better than in AU. If you're moving from a country like AU, you will feel how capitalism here is made to make more money out of you every step of the way. But also, you will see how you can use that system to make alot of money. I think Canada is a great place to live if you're an entrepreneur or business person and making money is a primary requirement. But if you're someone who loves quality of life and work-life balance and want to probably own a good house, right now CA is not there. Also this doesn't mean CA isn't great, its fantastic... but compared to AU, canada comes short in many fronts. Also I love the weather here even if we have a pretty long winter.

After watching this video if you think that what is going on in Canada is not crazy, then take note of the fact that Trudeau government is also making it even harder for gas and oil companies, mineral extraction and even farmers to basically do their job. While Norway, Arab countries and even US are ramping oil and gas production, in Canada Trudeau is concerned more about increasing carbon tax and the rainbow flags. Honestly I'm very disappointed in this country, it's becoming worse and worse here. Prices are through the roof, housing is insanely expensive, even car prices are higher than in USA. Many people have to maintain 2 or even 3 jobs just to survive. And if you are a recent graduate or an immigrant professional, good luck finding a good job. You probably will end up in a minimum wage job that barely allows you to rent a room in someone's basement, pay for your most expensive in the world cell phone plan, expensive cars.... and wait 6 months to go see a medical specialist. If you're thinking of immigrating to Canada, better consider Europe, USA or developed countries in Asia. I was lucky because I bought property back in 2016. Now it appreciated so much that I'll probably sell and move to a different country. Hard times are ahead for Canadians, Canada is gonna become Cuba #2 very soon

I moved to Canada 10 years ago. Trust me, things were much better then. This is a government problem for sure.

*Now, this is just a mess! They come over here thinking they are better than Black people, and Blacks are the ones that built this Country off their sweat, blood and deaths. GTF out of here. Is there not enough Law Enforcement to stop them, isn't this illegal?*

Why are these 2 rocket scientists still staying in Canada? Im confident its better than wherever they came from.

We are all God's children. If we lived in a third world country, many of us would want to go to a better life. All I will say is; when you come and if you come, please leave your racism and prejudice against those who are here at the border. Last thing we need is to import prejudiced and racist people.

All these comments about being homeless and closing the borders. ????? Really amazing how people DO NOT REALIZE what is really happening in our countries' government. ( Meaning all countries' governments). ❤️??. I mean the United States government isn't any better. Oh yeah the U.S. government gives us money so we should be good. In the meantime our human rights are being disrespected by police themselves (government) most of the time

Yeah Canada still better than America at least y’all still have rights

they get over here and take all our jobs and be more racist then the white man and we built the world . love AMERICAN CUZ MEXICANS WILL ACT LIKE THEY BETTER THEN WE AS 2 AND THEY THINK THERE ONLY ONE

They got a better life over here and let him come over here and I mean nobody here wants to work anyways everyone here wants to be drug addicts and almost anyways most homeless people I know are homeless by choice so let them come over here if they want to come over here if it's for their safety we do not own land this land was my ancestors land okay it was stolen from us so

When Trump called it a mass invasion the race baiters went crazy with bullshit lies. No country just let's everyone in their country freely and if our government don't protect our borders, we as people should. An army of people from a country or countries that want us destroyed could have gotten thousands if not tens of thousands of soldiers in out. Country by now. Just\n Luke the Trojan horse and Troy. We are doomed if the people don't unite. All races in America need to open their eyes and see that their is us, the 99 percent and then there is the 1 percent that see us all as enemies. How can 1 percent control the 99 percent. By division. Divide and conquer. Better get woke for real. Not the woke they feed the masses in the media

Where are all fucked it ain't any better here but at leat there ain't people trying to cut my head of for breathing in there territory

America does not have better infrastructure unless you think collapsing bridges, train derailments and dwindling drinking water is better lol ?

The beginning of the end. These people need sanctuary, safety, help. America wastes billions on stupidity. \nWhile people are crying to have a better life all of us sit and watch the kardashians like idiots and Hollywood to make them richer. We need to change now.

they better off in mexico tbh u.s is going to ?

They come to America for a better life. And when they made it in and they raise up their native country flag that they left.

I'll Be sitting on the beach eating seafood and drinking Beer \nWhile you are freezing ya arse off ?\nLived in both places and Gtd Australia is far better\nBut you will need to learn by ya own mistakes .

They know very little about what is going on in America. As American, we can't afford to live here. Rent is outrageous, food prices are off the roof, gas prices, life, car, rental insurance is so expensive. Their governments need to provide better living conditions in theirs own countries, so this type of eruption won't happen constantly??

Come to Canada. \n\nYour life will be better \n\nYou just need to sweep money from the ground. ?

I dont know the deal down in Venezuela. \nWhy dont they over run the government....STAY IN HOME COUNTRY...MAKING IT BETTER? \n\nOR diff nations gather take over 1 s american country force change? Isnt it a lot closer? You would be near true homeland. Usa is not perfect either\n....its racist selfish greedy too. Just hidden better. I dont know. \n\nI would rather fight and die than beg. ???

It’s really sad that people see no future or safety where they are at. They’re willing to flee on foot with children and little else to walk hundreds of miles just to hopefully make their kids lives better. There has got to be a better way to help these people. I don’t know the answers but I also don’t get paid to know them. As someone who has sympathy for my brothers and sisters no matter where they were born this just hurts my heart.

That's looks Awful people's! But I got trained early, so I'm ready & if u get to me , u had better be ready too !

Why do they keep tryna come to the USA it’s so many more places to go and even better places we barley got money and housing here already as it is .

They want people to come to Canada, even with the risk it brings, it's to better improve their economy wealth and society ?

We have got to pick better leaders, like Trump, also fuck the legecy media

If the people who were aginst Trump and the democrats aginst Trump just allowed the wall to go up...I'm sure security would of been way better.

why can’t they stay in their own countries? ain’t no better over here ??

The ones trying to get in will get all the housing and jobs and be taken care of better then actual Americans

Why do they think getting into the US will make their lives better? The US is nothing but one big Kensington ave.

You might not like how things look, but letting people have a better life is the right thing to do. Just make it happen.

Y’all need better borders that’s messed up. The economy can’t take these freeloaders like go home and fight. We pay out the ass to live in a “free” country. Just come here with nothing and expect everything like it’s not the 1930s eat shit go home.

The American government, butts their noses in other countries affairs, such as Ukraine, Iraq, Germany etc throughout the past 100 anõs I think that’s how you spell years in Spanish lol. Yet we do not step in and figure out why our South American countries have it so bad that they fight tooth and nail to come to North America for a better life. In conclusion, how about we go to the south American countries stop all the horrible things that are going on in those South American countries so that way they can have a better life where they are. Maybe then they won’t want to come here illegally in droves no matter what the cost. Because no one is doing anything for them. Forget about Ukraine, let’s band together and help our brown brothers and sisters south of the border.

While I sympathize towards those who really need help, there will come a point where Canada can't just take in all these people. The system will be overwhelmed and there might be negative changes in the country with too much people... if we do take in all these people, there has to be really good support for them so they can assimilate into the Canadian culture and work better lives so they won't be a burden...

This is not the way to do it. Its safety reason's. My grandma came from Mexico and she did it rhe right way. Wanting to bring her kids over to give them a better life. She lost two babies over in Mexico. I hope that everyone wanting to make a better way has a chance to

News like this is better when shown on Fox

Solution is simple. We all know the USA can easily make those third world countries better so none of their citizens would even think of coming to America for a better life economically. If I may ask: who made all those third world countries poor despite their rich natural resources? Message ???

Corruption, Cartels, no employment, no support etc! Who wouldn’t run? Why did the Europeans come to the American borders 500 years ago? I’m sure the reasons were similar. Better fortune! If they had good fortune were they were I’m sure they wouldn’t have left! These problems will disappear when the corruption disappears globally!

I'm all for ppl having an opportunity to live a better life but this isn't right. The barriers are necessary.

Its not gonna be much better here before long that will be us trying to get out of usa

The USA NEEDS TO DO BETTER,\tthis shit needs to get under control

WHY the HELL do they THINK it's BETTER up here-SO MUCH WORSE!

Where are they going and where is my military Trump where is my military where is my military where is my military where is my military where is my military to protect my country we are going to be Beyond boarded these are witches coming into our country America you better grow a pair of balls fast

This video was super bias , I was born in the USA ,Ny, and raised in Miami fl both my parents immigrated from Colombia , I seen you can work for a better life in the USA being a and immigrant and actually attain it . I’ve been living here in Canada for about a year , and ehhh not really feeling it

Better Canada than us...

You better put A Pin, in this shit NOW!\nIt’s already out of control. This is stupid! Not this shit ! But you sow, what you reap!

This is out of control what happened to the wall I love peace on earth and feel bad people’s r push threw to come to usa ?? but shit every thing here is a mess and for the ones that live and born here it’s so hard to get even help this situation doesn’t make it better God bless us all

Electrify the fences, proper zaps. Mainstream media would love it but it would work a bit better

Poor poor immigrants all they want is a better life. Open your heart and help them. Its an investment, it will cost 10-30 years but later you will be gaining on this. These are all women and young children

I'm hating to see these kids in this scared moment with they parents. I wish this was so much better for people in general. BlEss these people.

Flamethrower will work better.
