Dumbass government

Nah this is messed up because we can not afford to be sending millions to Ukraine and help these people. Our government barley helps its own citizens so nah I'm sorry but you can't force your way in

Americans First! We have a pandemic of homelessness already that our own government turns a blind eye to. Yet allow millions of illegals who will live here in our tax dollars. Get these people out of public offices. If they're not for us. They're against us. Biden administration is destroying America!

Thanks for telling people the truth. People are never told the truth. The Canadian government website is written in simple English and French and is very straight forward and you can apply to come on your own, but people insist in going through agents who are just making money off of them. Please read the website in detail. The government hides nothing on their website. Don't blame the government and try to understand what some of the immigration lawyers and agents are doing to you. If you are not well versed in the English or French language, get someone to help you with the website and application. Stop paying unnecessary money and go directly to the government. The agents and lawyers will be doing exactly what you can do. Not all of them are genuine. The government tells you not to pay people money, come to them. There are refugees sleeping on the pavements. Why come to the country under those conditions. We don't have enough housing right now for people and rents at the condos are very high. A one bedroom apartment in Toronto is about $2,000 plus.

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.

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.

Stable democratic government? Is this a joke? ?

That is Canada my friends all what he’s saying it true the governments have to give us the jobs first before considering any other. You can have two jobs if you want

The reason the southern countries are the way it is because United States of America went over there in destabilizing and government so bad that it probably will never recover.

The military needs to start stepping up as far as I'm concerned that's a terrorist attack bullets should start flying seeing how are government has no problem shooting their own people

I used to have a lot of respect for Australia until I saw some videos of their government flipping shit about trashy anime. Like imagine living on an island that could have its entire ecosystem destroyed because somebody brought some weird fruit, and getting pissed off and worked up about some Japanese people drawing a weird cartoon.

America seriously needs to industrialize again but in a good healthy procedure. We need more construction built in urban dry areas across the country more towns if possible. But all in a healthy manner we can’t harm nature tha much. The us is focused more on governing the world other than themselves n it’s people it’s sad but ay there’s hope jus wake up n learn shi

All this could be stopped if America would pull their monetary aid to mexico. The Mexican government would build the wall to keep its ppl in and get them to work.

Ayo ima just say it but all Venezuelans need to go back and fight for against their government. We already have enough problems here so go back to your country where you voted your economy and rights away

in quebec you pay 15% gst for each cdn dollar when buy something...... and when you work 35% you pay tex to canadian government anotherword you work for $1 you bring home 65 cents.

This is a huge problem and the cause is the Government in Mexico it's called CARTELS . THEY ARE DESTROYING PEOPLE FOR DRUG MONEY ITS BULLSHIZ ALL THAT MONEY THE CARTELS GET IS FOR THEM AND THEIR GANG WHEN THEY COULD PUT IT TOWARDS THE PEOPLE BUT THEY DONT TO GREEDY AND EVIL .

They need to go back. We cannot keep taking on the problems that f the rest if the world. People coming here and riding on the government is not acceptable.

They think they are in Government Transport bus..... ma dootterr baba

Thats true, aussie government in full power indoctrination mode, thanks to the socialist, woke oppressive movement...great nation following the steps of her Mother nation England

sorry but non of canadian provinces are best to live in. this is another propaganda for canadian government.

demrcats run government

The part about the banking system is at best a half truth. Canada looked like it came through the 2008 crisis better than the States because the government did not allow a correction in the housing market. Rather, the Canadian government kept the party going with free money, which made the balance sheets of the banks look good, but over time caused housing prices to inflate far faster than household income. The result now is wildly over-inflated housing prices which - coupled with increasing immigration of well to do foreigners pricing Canadians out of the market - has come to the point that many Canadians born in Canada can no longer afford to live there. This in turn exacerbates the brain drain to the USA, which further reduces Canada’s innovativeness and international competitiveness. \n\nHowever, the universe mandates equilibrium, and this house of cards will come down sooner or later. When it does, Canada will be facing a far worse financial and economic crisis than the USA did in the late 00’s, as all of the Big 5 banks will become insolvent.

I’m a dual citizen, and I’ve noticed that the most highly skilled, highly motivated, entrepreneurial Canadians tend to emigrate to the States. Why work hard and take risks when the government is just going to confiscate more than half your income? Not to mention how the Trudeau regime has become increasingly corrupt and authoritarian.

Canada’s main problem is Trudeau’s government which his own agenda. Part of that agenda is to kill free enterprise in this country and to make people more dependent (and controlled) on government. Those businesses who share the “pride” philosophy imposed are getting well paid contracts. Others getting bankrupt by those plandemic lockdowns. The goal is to have obedient population, that don’t own anything, don’t work and gets some dimes from Universal income.

Americans don’t understand the power these immigrants give our government. It doesn’t matter what we Americans want like or need. They don’t care lol?

I have no problems with immigrants I think that’s what america was built off of but it’s getting to the point where they are literally stealing and ruining our country! Overthrow ur fucking government tf are you doin comin over here ILLEGALLY n tryna overthrow ours? We here in America don’t even have enough houses or resources for ourselves but y’all think u can just force ur way in here n get handouts when the American people don’t get shit themselves. Gtfoh! This is how hate starts.

Why the mexican government do the develeopment in their country so that their is no need to go in other country

Wheres the US military protecting the citizens from an invasion? \nBunch of cowards just like every government employee and politician ??????????????

Thanks Joe, your policies caused all this. How about we send all these illegals to Washington DC and let the US government deal with them?

They are DESTROYING all the ability to be self reliant....because end game is control communism and slavery by your government. Trudeau wants COMMUNISTS!

I moved to US with my family, we increased our wealth but US inequality is really bad and only well off and well educated make do great. The issue is the government of Canada and taxes and too much elites leaching from the economy.

their President amd ALL their Government officials SHOULD and MUST be investigated and penalized for this chaos

We need to shut down our borders government and have a reset. Fix our country now.

More and more people wont be able to afford buying houses. Younger generations are screwed, as well as millions of new Canadians. At some point renters will not be able to afford ever growing rents and start defaulting on payments (and slam lords will have all fun in the world kicking out thousands and thousands of desperate families.., good luck with that!!!).\nAt some point it all will lead to rise in social unrest. \nIt just a matter of time until Canadian government will be forced to launch an unprecedented program to build subsidized housing, and to pay for this crazily expensive program it will be forced to introduce home equity tax, as well as higher inheritance taxes.

Aren’t we fortunate in the US to have **none** of these problems!\n\nWe have no homeless here!\n\nTake a look at SF, LA (where all “solutions” are rooted in Bolshevism; “Hi, we’re from the government and will be taking over half of your front yard for homeless yurts (Ok, tents)--true story. Take a gander at any large, medium, and even a few small cities.\n\nHave you ever heard of Detroit (once proud home of my beloved Motown music), Baltimore (complete devastation), or Chicago (my home town—don’t make me cry)?\n\nThe entire homeless situation started when mental hospitals were snake pits and certain factions demanded that people be released.\n\nSure, it sounds humanitarian but they didn't bother to consider what would happen to mentally ill patients suddenly left to their own devices on the streets.\n\nThe do gooders actually were foolish enough to believe that the seriously ill patients (schizophrenic, bipolar, borderline, and plenty of others) would take their meds on their own. It doesn't work that way for patients who are not in contact with reality.\n\nNow we add extreme drugs (crack, meth, heroine, ketamine, whatever they hand out at parties, etc) and severe cases of PTSD/PTSS. It's obscene that we have veterans on the streets.\n\nHeath care--?. Pre Obamacare it wasn’t terrible but medicine had become a CYA project. We are so litigious (side eye to John Edwards ) that doctors practice defensive medicine and carry high limit malpractice insurance (guess who pays for that?). Every decision is driven by avoiding lawsuits, not proper patient care.\n\nPost Obamacare, US health care is an unmitigated disaster at every level. We’re short on doctors, too. Many quit and students are losing interest—medicine won’t pay enough anymore to justify $500K in loans.\n\nWe could repeal every bit of Obamacare tomorrow and still not be able to fix it. The leviathan grew tentacles that released toxins into every nook and cranny of the system. Now that they have buried themselves in critical layers, it would be impossible to yank them out.\n\nI have a good PCP who is booked 6-8 weeks out. Specialists? Hah. GI, neuro, and derm? Four to six month wait post referral.\n\nI never thought I would say such a thing but I would probably swap the Serial Sexual Predator occupying the WH for your Little Lord Fauntleroy.\n\nCan Canada compete with us in corruption? Government employees seriously tried to topple a sitting president and not only were there no consequences, they were able to retire on fat pensions that we citizens work hard to provide for them.\n\nOur government is run entirely by K Street lobbyists; our “representatives” don’t even draft legislation, that’s done for them by K ST.\n\nHow about crime? Do we even need to talk about it?\n\nHousing crisis? Prices were already too high when the regime (predictably) created runaway inflation and we saw the end of affordable interest rates. Even 0.25% increase will knock out many buyers; they won’t be able to qualify.\n\nWe are seeing huge jumps; young people have resigned themselves to never being homeowners.\n\nRacism? Again, look to the US. It’s nothing even close to what the make believe media caterwauls about. If white supremacists are behind every tree, where is the evidence? Surely, in 2023 has caught a cell phone video, right? Where are the videos? Show me the proof. There is plenty of footage of BLM destroying property and injuring, even murdering innocents. If we gripe about this behavior, we are raaayyyycccciiiiissssts.\n\nNo rational adult would claim that the US is not a violent country and becoming more so. Nor can we claim to have eliminated racism. That takes time; it cannot be done by force.\n\nOur economy went from smokin hot to dumpster fire in a short span of time. Pre election, head hunters were shaking the trees to find job candidates.\n\nOur unemployment is up as are our taxes with the stomping out of the tax cuts. \n\nDespite the endless sloganeering about how the Trump tax cuts only benefited “rich” people, it’s quite the opposite.\n\nHigh earners lost their pet deductions and lower income taxpayers were quite pleasantly surprised when they did their returns. The cuts were targeted to preserve wealth for the middle and lower classes.\n\nI could go on for another 100 pages but you get the idea and I get crabby writing for free.\n\nI will leave you with the caution that it’s best if you doubt and question any data and any stats coming from our government. Those are seldom legit. If the data comes from a study, always look to see who paid for it. And how large the sample size was; how were the participants selected? We are all on our own when it comes to ferreting out info.\n\nOh Canada!\n\nYou’re welcome.

As MAGA should be taking NOTE the border IS NOT WIDE OPEN. Border patrol has their work cut out for them for sure. But the fear mongering that people are just walking in simply isn’t true. \n Of course we’ll have some that sneak in desolate areas. Just as we have at the Northern border. That’s a fact that can never be 100% stopped. \n THEIR government should be stopping them from crossing THEIR BORDERS. Every single country they pass through also should be STOPPING THEM. \n The US needs to get tuff in these Latin American countries that are not securing their own borders. We can’t stop them from coming… only from getting in.

Texas is a Republican state and biden is a democratic they hate Texas they hate helping the government them selfs

This is what happens when u have failed domestic /foreign economic/ political policy over the last 100 years mixed with corrupt/ poor governments in Latin America. Its a humanitarian crisis.

Yet we have homeless vets, people and kids. But the government will cater to this.

It’s horrific how these ppl are forced to live, that is NOT life..reading the comments, it’s disheartening to see. Put yourselves in their shoes! Ask yourself many questions. Would you live your life under a corrupt government? Would you allow the Mexican police/gangs/drug lords, to walk in your home, kill your children, your family, got no reason and get away with it? Would you want to struggle just to feed your baby? Would you want to live how they live? Your country, my county is huge. But hey, it all comes down to greed and politics, right? It’s not about having compassion, it’s about these ppl taking your jobs, homes..am I right? These ppl work for Pennie’s a day, would you? We all deserve a good life, no? If you said no, then where is your God? Where is your compassion? Where is your kindness? Where is your LOVE? Oh how our world would be a much happier place if everyone thought like me. Yes, and sadly, it takes money and many other factors. \nBut if we go back 300-500 years when the white settlers came, took our land (oh I know I’m going to receive backlash and grief, hatred and stripe, and that’s ok) as a Native American person, my ppl could have fought and have y’all sent back to where y’all came from, and WE wouldn’t be living on shitty pieces of land, but every day we are grateful for what we have…don’t call me a savage, most of my family are white just like y’all LOL! But if we won, made you go back to where you came, would you have gone freely? Hell no! We HAD rights, and it was taken away….and take a long hard look at what’s happening today! Country against country..race against race..ppl no longer believe in God and our world is turn to shit…ppl walk past a homeless child and do fuck all (I’ve seen it many times..and yes, I help) stop being so fucking greedy, if you want to help take care of your homeless, then get off your asses and start helping your homeless ppl…will that happen? He’ll no! Why? Because YOU people who are against these ppl who want a better life in America, won’t even make an effort to help your own, now isn’t this called “calling the kettle black” because you simply walk past them, you stare at them with disgust! So don’t be hypocrites! And don’t go and make comments about acting like you truly care for your homeless when you couldn’t give two-shits about your own! \nSad, really fucking sad!

Some of these people supported their socialist governments, claiming it couldn't be worse than X previous government. The situation will only get worse as Mexico is headed in that same direction. \nSeems like they never translated Animal Farm to Spanish

This is bang on !! We immigrated in 1967 from England. This country doesn’t resemble the country it once was. I’m working on an escape plan if this government and country’s direction doesn’t change in next few years. Cost of living is insane. Can’t own a home . No work life balance. Taxed to death. No quality of life

For everyone saying that they feel bad for these people and they just want to come and work and escape oppressive governments does not even understand that those reasons are irrelevant. If all these migrants where good people and there was enough space to house and feed them with burdening the tax payer great. But that's not reality, a lot of these people cross illegally, break into people's houses, rob, rape, kill, etc...If any of the media even bothered to go and interview anyone from the border towns and cities, they would realize how angry and frustrated they are, parents no longer send their children outside to play because some random people running through their yard steal and break into their houses, but this doesn't get reported on because it doesn't fit their narrative of these desperate migrants just want to work and live freely.

Why don't they fight there corrupt government letting them in puts more Americans at risk for Job loss less government assistance less housing for Americans higher crime rate and this right here is going to cause racial tension letting them in is taking away what little Americans have left

I wish we had a government that could see what the people are going through very hard times. Food gas getting to appointments as a workout... Someone needs to be held accountable for the shape canada is in

Americans barely surviving .push them the fak back .if their government sux they should be our territory then we help them.

This is where all our Tax and Higher Food, Gas, etc. Monies is going to. We can't Afford to Support the World yet the Government is Desperately trying to make us U.S. Citizens to PAY for. Oh, Don't Forget Our Social Security as well..Craziness and B.S.

Praying the governments in the other countries to start treating their people better so they want to thrive in their own countries

First, I want to thank you for making this video. The health of a country, or the health of an individual which are clearly linked, is dependent on our ability to see ourselves and each other, and make necessary changes to improve in the areas that we lack personally, and as communities in our beautiful country of Canada and other countries as well. Well, it’s a work in progress. I appreciate how you’ve inspired us to speak about things that aren’t necessarily spoken about. At least not where I live and have lived in Canada. Thank you so much for that opportunity. It doesn’t matter about my opinion. What matters is sharing our own thoughts, feelings, and experiences because they aren’t debatable. \n\nWe are in violation of Multiple Human Rights violations against Inuit , Indigenous and Métis people by the United Nations. Most have no water to drink—not even boiled water and bottled water is available sometimes when it’s brought to reservations . Children don’t have the same access to books. So many thousands of bodies of children taken to residential schools from their parents arms and community for over 160 years yet the deep wounds aren’t given compassion by most people anymore and systemic abuse actively impacts them and therefore all of Us . We are all one whether we see people as other’ or not. We’re humans. \n They’re not seen in media unless it’s a bad story yet we’re only now teaching one mandatory class by non indigenous people. Solution: elders teach their grandchildren languages that weren’t erased by genocide and environmental /spiritual cultural practices and lifestyles before they’re gone by paying first people elders and streaming it into all Canadian classrooms so the children can see a future where they’re valued and all Canadian kids can get a full education and learn accurate history. Making canoes, baskets, sacred ceremonies, food growing (that they taught to pilgrims so they’d survive here), etc. No, I’m not indigenous. I’m an immigrant like all but the first people. They’ve an amazing culture that’s been all but lost . When we don’t see ourselves represented in any media, any careers, and start our lives in extended poverty based on our race, and all that was taken still today, it’s no wonder the teen suicide rate for indigenous youth is more than double / triple all non - indigenous youth. The numbers are growing. \nI live in Care due to my physical disabilities . An international nursing student worked for me providing personal care like showers, meal prep etc and over that year, she said she wouldn’t have moved here specifically because of a few things I’ve mentioned. She told me Canada was sold to people in her country of origin as a ‘multicultural’ safe haven without extreme racism still prevalent today and within our history. \n\nI’m ashamed of Canadian government promises for over 100 years that aren’t fulfilled. All children deserve healthy drinking Water and an education. Period. Especially, the ambassadors of this amazing land that they see as themselves without separation. That’s accurate. We will have nothing to stand upon if we don’t protect the earth. It will go on without us. \n\nI see many things in the comments I’ve seen or experienced, unfortunately. This is a beautiful country for so many reasons. It’s important that from such abundance we listen to your video, look at ourselves honestly and i feel, be the change we want to see in the world like Gandhi said.\n\nMuch love and healing from an All inclusive advocate. All life matters.

We should all be disgusted by this as Americans! This is clearly an invasion happening. I wish the government would do something about this.
