Foreign interests from the U.S. has deteriorated the economy here, and everyone is so busy trying to live that no one has the time to point it out. And so much of our country is propped up by the states ON PURPOSE so that the states can basically claim us. It's tiring.

Some small criticisms.... Brain drain hasn't been a thing in Canada since you can't just cross the border and start working in the USA. Also, when you say that the majority of Canadians live within the American border, that does not include the Alaska border. the majority of us live close to the southern border.

Canadian tech is seriously lagging behind. All our top talent are heading to the US and all the good companies in downtown Vancouver are satellite offices for American firms

People, Islamophobia is NOT acceptable. These people need to stop imposing their beliefs on the British people, but they should still be able to keep their religion, because that is their right. As long as they’re not harming or killing anyone, they should be accepted. Muslims need love, just like the rest of us. Us humans should be able to live in peace.\n That being said, poisoning dogs is just NOT acceptable either.

These stats should also take into account the massive population difference between the US and Canada to give a more accurate representation if possible. But yeah our economy here in Canada is kinda communist and is heavily based on natural resources and exportation. We need diversification big time AND TAX CUTS. WE PAY TOO MUCH TAX!!!!!!!!

Trump killed 500,000 Americans! We’re just resupplying. Now ya know how us Native Folks felt in 1492 and 1600s and BEYOND. ? ?

For all of these fellow “Americans” the United States was built on literal immigrants. Where would your racist ass be now if people from all over the world hadn’t traveled to the US for a better chance at a life full of opportunity all those years ago?

Nations competing for power and status has been what the history of the world has been mostly about. There are those that are obsessed with competition and are willing to die for power and status. This is the strongest motivation for the innovation, production and exchange of goods and services and is also why the best competitors cannot trust each other and feel the need to deceive, fool, cheat, spy and lie to each other and causes them to build weapons that can basically kill most of the life on this planet and damage most of the environment that can sustain life. \n \nMany nations are comfortable with their lower levels of power and status performance and do not think allocating more resources to move up the ladder will be of much benefit. \n \nPresently, if the economy is not growing, it is considered a failure. This type of thinking cannot go on uninterrupted on a finite planet with finite resources. There needs to be flexibility in the system for the economy to expand and contract and for a contraction to be considered normal and not a problem or a failure. The contraction needs to be just as prosperous and productive as the expansion. For this type of thinking to work, there needs to be some new economic theories and models developed along with some new types of money and financial systems based on economic sustainability not on economic growth and money inflation. \n \nI am sure there will be some Nobel prizes awarded to the academics, economists, corporate CEO's and business leaders and of course politicians and government officials that can figure out how to make a sustainable economy work and how not to devalue the nation’s money in the process.\n \nThe way this can begin and improve peace and fairness at the same time is when our business and government leaders along with our brightest and smartest among us including the most wealthy among us can learn to be much more truthful, honest and trustworthy and can start to understand that the wellbeing of others benefits everyone and is the bases for morality.

all u soft biatches, try working construction and mining in extreme cold, us hard men should flee south n file as climate refugees

save these people give them place to start. let them leave in rural areas with freedom. they will work hard pay taxes and US is doing heroic work.

5:12 the average yearly wage in the US is not $80,000 at all

Turn every one of them around and send them back to their government so they can take care if them\nThis is unreal and unwanted. Why do these people think they're entitled. That Americans owe them sonething: WE OWE YOU NOTHING!\n\nWHY don't YOU demand from your government what you demand of US???\n\nSEND EVERYONE OF THEM BACK HOME, you DONT push yourselves off on us. This border is CLOSED

We have a leader who seems to be deeply invested in shutting down our oil and gas industry. He shut down oil and gas. Which put hundreds of people out of work. Then he slapped us with a carbon tax. He told us the carbon tax dollars would be invested toward producing green energy projects and manufacturing jobs. So far, the Carbon tax went up again, he banned plastic straws, he’s hitting our farmers with heavy restrictions on fertilizer, because it’s not green enough. \nMany of our indigenous communities have been living for years with contaminated water. He promised he was going to ensure the indigenous communities have access to clean drinking water. He has not fulfilled that promise. \nHe’s bidding $30 billion dollars to hopefully sign a deal to manufacture electric car batteries for Volkswagen. \nHe’s investing in other projects, as well. Unfortunately, he’s only investing in eastern provinces. \nSo far, there has been no investments in western provinces yet. Many of the out of work oil and gas workers in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba are still waiting on the jobs they were promised. \nLow wages, high inflation, high taxes and high income housing is bringing a lot of us to our knees. \nOur leader is corrupt. It seems like every week there is another corrupt scandal he and his government are involved in. \nI can’t speak for every Canadian, but I can say with absolute certainty that a large number of us are sick and tired of our current leader. Most of us live with the hope that if our leader can get voted out. Canada may have a chance to go back to the way our beautiful country used to be.

It’s ridiculous how they now feel so entitled to enter our country illegally while Americans are struggling to buy food, get housing. This has to stop. We need the National Guard out there to protect us from this invasion.

This is happening, but AmeriKKKa is too busy concentrating on depriving us outta civil rights.

Yeah, I've been talking to a Canadian over discord for almost 2 years now trying to learn more about the country and what he told me was shocking. Canadian make about 25% less and pay 33% more in taxes then American and somehow a house in the middle of goddamn nowhere cost as much as a house in Portland. If you live in NYC, SF, or LA yeah you can forget about buying a house but its not like in America housing is unaffordable everywhere like in Canada. In Texas, you can get a big beautiful house for 300k, the catch being that real estate taxes is really high and you still be paying that even after the mortgage been paid off. Florida is affordable but hurricanes, Cleveland is really cheap despite a good reputation, and a house in the rural areas is easily under 100k. Canada pretty much have no houses under 300k which is made worse by the fact that they make less, taxed more, investment is harder + more expensive, and it actually hard to establish credit because they don't have looser standard like in the US.

Canada will die with the US

Canada is just another US territory.

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

can't understand why people do things like this.... why on earth would somebody willingly go to the US to live there. Their country must be 100% on fire, under water while falling down a cliff into a shark tank

US regime change is causing these crisis.

They all laughing at us

We are scared that they’ll work harder then us… let’s be honest now

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.

The US only welcomes the blue eyes immigrants......they are afraid of the Latino and black rights to escape human rights violators abroad, which the US supports and endorses behind close doors. Ask Obama, Biden, Bush, etc

You are watching the takedown of the United States .. the powers that be know EXACTLY what they are doing. Wake up Americans!! Pray and repent and ask God to help us..

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

Why haven't we done anything yet on the right side has gone as far as burning down buildings and constantly charging a former president not giving up we just run to the comment section. This right here is in fucking invasion it does not matter who or what is trying to illegally get through our border it's just that part right there illegally get through our border that is invading Invasion why are we not at War right this second I am so freaking sorry I'm so sorry probably thousands of wonderful people in that group but we need to stop them that is an invasion I know it sounds horrible but just look up invasion you look up logs illegal and how it would wreck our country that would damage us that's what you do at War you try to damage the other country

Many people who come to the US get government benefits that US born citizens are denied.

This is just ONE of the many breeches occurring ? God help us all...

Remember when New York provided houses for the illegals? They thanked the city with using drugs, prostitution, violence, and throwing away good edible food and still demanded more. I'm for the comments here where many of us can't afford housing, struggle to buy food, and struggle in keeping our jobs. Adding this amount of mass illegals in masses at a time will speed our downfall. Traffic in neighborhoods are clogged as there's 2-3 families living in a same home designed for a family of 3-5, not 12-20 people.

This is when you use rubber bullets and gas. They know Biden and his woke pals are sweet so they're trying us. We really need a real wall to keep these POS people out. What's funny is they come here and act like they're so proud of their homeland. Thanks Obama for the coup in Venezuela that led to this shit. I mean if no one sees that the government needs to be flushed of all the POS reps that are literally working to hasten the demise of our country. All to fulfill some fake prophesy

Landlords gotta go they are the reason for the housing crisis not immigrants. Some landlords own over 50 properties while most Americans don't even own their own home. Landlords gotta go get a job like the rest of us

I been desay , venezuelan, it's stupid people sick person , do not want this partifaceor ba part us

Imagine the horror these poor people must face. To put yourself through that journey out of your country. BUT Surely the word must be out that chances are you won’t find refuge here in the US. Why do they keep coming knowing how dubious it is? How horrid their living conditions must be to be willing to risk it. Too much suffering.

Have these people not seen the homeless crisis in the US on tv. Even Americans working full time are living in their cars! \nThe American Dream is over guys ??‍♀️ go home.

It already feels like Mexico, Cuba, and other countries here in the US. Everywhere you go all you hear is TATATATATATATATATATATATATATATAT OY IEEEEEEEE AYE DIOS MIO???????

no respect for US laws at all.

Tryng to justified invasion when they rob Texas and other states from us..

But these are the good ones that turn into Republicans while in the US

The US is already over populated.

Wow, it’s even harder to get into Costco than the US border

Well I hate how people think trump is racist but all he’s trying to do is save us first then others

Why are they coming here to the most racist country on earth sad reality is that we're not as racist as democrats paint us to be imagine being a self hating American and hating yourself and then you see this immigrants wanting to come here to we're there hated by everyone america is not racist is your propaganda machine

They trying to take over America, first of all help us

End the illegal US sanctions then...

why are they running to the us and canada?

The US and Mexico. Gotta come up with a massive immigration reform. Like NOW! \nI'm a mexican, and I see the migrants coming through everyday. 3 days ago, a guy was yelling in my apt complex at night asking for anything since they were on their way to the US. We as mexican are tired of all the massive caravans, tired of our government allowing tens of thousands in. We grant them asylum, but they don't want to be here. They would rather go and try to make it into the US. So. I my self am from Juarez so I've grown up with immigration my entire life.

come in JUST JOIN US IN PATRIOTISM LIBERTY JUSTICE LAW ORDER PEACE SECURITY PROSPERITY FREEDOM GOOD CAPITALISM
