Most liberals will support and vote for liberal Policies, but then when those policies are enacted, the liberals dislike the results so much, they leave. And then they repeat the same process never taking responsibility for the monster they helped create. That is my take on you and your video. You claim Canada is still a great place to live, yet you are running away, hypocritical much ? I wish there was a way to force people to remain in place after they have voted so they can experience the results of their votes and choices.

Don't bother with the UK, sadly. It's the same here. Mass immigration has suppressed wages and made most of our town and cities look like downtown Mogadishu. Pride in the country and your neighbourhood has gone, made worse by rampant woke indoctrination in schools and the workplace. Now we have an authoritarian/totalitarian government in charge (big majority on a third of the vote! and only half the electorate bothered to vote). The government and MSM demonise anyone raising their voice as 'far right' and the so-called 'police' patrol twitter and FB for 'hurty words' whilst leaving the streets to thugs, layabouts and Islamists. It doesn't even resemble what it was like in 2022, never mind 2020! I would leave, but where do you go. Also, it is my home.

I have lived in Canada for the last 15 years. Great country. I have had opportunities here that I would never have had in the country I grew up in. Sure, Trudeau has rogered the country, but it will recover once he is voted out - that's democracy. It is better than the alternative - ask any Russian.... Things are no different in the UK or US or Australia or New Zealand....

I understand peoples idea of leaving Canada. That's okay, you can do that. I'll never leave Canada. It's my home, it's gonna be my home. No matter what yes, we're going through some tough times right now but I can tell you right now. The whole world is going through some tough times it isn't just cand to blame everything on Trudo. Is not right. The conservatives have just as much in this game as anyone else. All these governments have basically fought amongst each other and did nothing to do anything good for Canadians. Now now to run away from Canada and say oh, it's terrible. Oh I can't live here. No more but. That's fine. Don't I get it right now? It sucks living in Canada. The cost of living is absolutely insane but that was federal governments, allowing big corporations to run the country. We have 3 large corporations that run the groceries. We have 3 large corporations that run the cell phone companies. And they charge whatever the hell they want. The government is to blame for all of that because they allowed it to happen and it is just the liberals who is the conservatives as well. They're all to blame for that. The thing is we have to voting. Governments that are actually going to do something to make things right agand we now have a world economy. It's not just a Canadian economy. We have to play by their rules. In order to survive, there's a lot of greedy people out there. And we're the ones in the middle. And that's the way it is until we change it ourselves. Leaving the country isn't going to change anything and it certainly isn't going to change. For the better

Never vote Liberals ever again. If people keep voting for these radical liberals, we'll get the life that we're in now.

Trudeau has destroyed this country. Never vote Liberal/NDP

It's on the rise because the government is actively destroying the wages and welfare of actual Canadians by accepting ludicrous, record numbers of low-skilled immigrants.\n\nIf you are a skilled immigrant in Canada right now, this should make you furious; The governments policies are directly responsible for lower quality of life, an increase in racism (specifically toward Indian immigrants), and a massive sentiment shift in immigration. This harm is going to persist for a long time.\n\nI voted for Trudeau twice. I will never, ever vote Liberal or NDP again after this fiasco.

Never voted right but there's a kind of immigration that is happening now in the West that is simply tearing at the stability of things. Even here in Portugal, it's getting out of hand. If you flood countries with people from radically different cultures, with radically different habits.......eventually you are going to destroy what that country had going for it.\n\nWe gotta stop this. I wish I didn't believe this migration wasn't planned by powerful entities to do exactly what is doing - disrupting the social fabric...........but, unfortunately all these big movements (wokeism etc) are designed precisely to have us at each other's throats.

I know, what I am about to say isn't easy to swallow. Because I also understand how prevailing sentiments of fear are, when it's easier to blame another group for our shortcomings. Problem is we don't get to choose who comes into Canada, but we are perfectly accountable for whom we vote. Who we vote responsible in the end for policies that make or break a Country. They draft 5-10-20 years road maps for a Country's growth, the trace demographic's trend, births, jobs creations etc etc. They are responsible to understand Economics factors and how they are interwoven into Global trenches. Furthermore they are responsible to manage money budget and spending but above all control waste. I mean Canada became an Global Oil dominator second only to Saudi and we blame migrants? Sounds to me we should kick someone's teeth in, but that ain't my neighbour Cheng or Abhuoul. BTW I was born in the late 70's from Italian migrants, came back again in 95. I left a dead Canada in early 2000 and never looked back.

Multiculturalism doesn't work and never has , it's proven on a daily basis for many years now.. It's been a government tool used to get votes and also an excuse to create social programs and other excuses to waste taxpayers' money.. Which, in return, makes people angry, and the divide continues..

Ended our culture killed our housing availability increased homelessness overwhelmed our medical and welfare systems increased crime increased resentment and divisions killed job availability invaded our government policing schools on and on and on you name it its being destroyed Canada is gone and we never voted for this.

Im in BC . I got rid of the tenants cuz they would be late. Filled 15 non payment / late payment notices with the tenancy branch and delivered to tenant. The tenancy branch did absolutely NOTHING. 8 months later and loosing $36, 000 I made the decision to never rent ever. I got Airbnb license and am glad I made the right choice. I make the same rental income with no headache, and less use of the house. My two friends who had rental properties just stopped renting and sold them and put their monies into other businesses. Id say if you are renting, sell them and do something else cuz its a no win situation in canada. These politicions know there are more renters to give them the votes.

Keep voting dem. This will never stop!

because people never voted for it? (same for the whole west) muh democracy,

Because illegal immigrant votes is the only thing thats going to get the unelected Harris her votes. That’s how democrats are trying to keep power. Pathetic really. Head of the border who has never seen the border, yet talks about how it’s working. That’s even more pathetic.

Keep voting for Democrats, & this will NEVER stop.

Your government will NEVER listen to you. You are the great experiment. Just like the UK. NOTHING will change with the change in leadership. Because votes don't empower government. Treasury bonds do. Your vote is an illusion to keep you compliant. Just vote, if enough people want change, change will happen. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. The UK government only had 20% of the votes and now they are in power and there are riots all over the UK because Two teir keir siad he would rather be in DAVOS than WESTMINSTER.... Sorry my Candian friends but it is only going to get worse.. Much worse.

This is exactly what they wanted… not biden… biden was never in charge of anything… the left was. Vote for Kamala. I dare you. And we will have no choice but to take our country back

NEW YORK CITY CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY IMMIGRANTS. NEW YORK NEEDS AN ADDITIONAL 10 MILLION IMMIGRANTS. THE MAYOR SAYS NEW YORK CITY IS OPEN, COME\n ON IN!!!!!!!\n\nOR MAYBE YOU CAN VOTE FOR REPUBLICANS

It's not about immigration. Canadian government doesnt care what citizens think. Its Trudeau government that's using immigration to pandering votes for the liberal election. . I live in Vancouver and never seen so many black refugees now homeless before

Never ever vote for the Conservatives, PP is just Canada’s trump. Ontario conservative government basically shut down the protection of all rentals allowing the landlords to charge whatever they want….!

Never vote for the Liberal party again

I am an immigrant myself and could not agree more with it. The government is bringing in people blindly at the cost of jacking up prices to unbelievable levels for shelter, food and so on. Jobs are taken away from locals and has been handed over to new immigrants, our students are struggling to find jobs. Crime is on the rise . It almost seems like the they gave up the immigration vetting system and are bringing in people without due delegence. This is NOT the Canada I came to more than a decade ago. It has changed and continues to change for worse unfortunately. My vote is never going to a liberal ever again. They failed this country big time

IF YOU VOTING DEMOCRATS IT WILL NEVER STOP THEY GOING TO LET COME AND EVERY FOUR YEARS IT'S GOING TO BE WORST WHY ELECTION IS EVERY 4 YEARS WAKE UP AMERICANS, I'M SO SICK OF I WORK 20 HOURS A DAY 6 DAYS A WEEK YES I HAVE TWO JOBS AND STILL STUGGLINE AS YOU ALL KNOW IM NY RENT IS CRAZY SOBI HAVE BUST MY ASS TO PAY MY BILLS AND THESE ILLEGALS GET MY HARD EARN TAX DOLLARS WTF THIS IS REALLY PISSING ME OFF I'M VOTING RED ALL THE WAY GOVERNOR KATHY AND THE REST OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY GOT TO GO .THEY NOT FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THEY LIKE WRONG THINGS AND THEY HATE THIS COUNTRY,

As a former Liberal Party of Canada member they knowingly did this because of the overwhelming influence of property developers and landlords on the party as well as openly discussing changing the demographics of the country to insure they could never lose any future elections. \n\nIs this also why they push Medical Assistance in Dying against older Canadians who can no longer afford the cost of living and are more likely to vote Conservative?

This is disgusting to listen to. No country on Earth wants millions of immigrants flooding in getting welfare to the moon and being a statistic of crime cause by these immigrants. No one wants that. What makes anyone think they do? They are all going to get to vote. Just watch. They just crossed our border, got welfare better than citizens, and will get to vote. Whoever is doing this to Europe and the USA should be in jail or dealt with per the constitution for treason. Unfortunately the swamp is too much. We have too much corruption in our governments. Time to start realizing this and we are going to have to make a change because protesting and trying to vote isn't cutting it when they rigg things against you and demonize you for not being okay with this garbage they are shoving down your throat.\nAt no point has anyone in my family filled out a green card or visa. I have no idea what it is like to be an immigrant. I can't get that perspective because I have never been one and neither has anyone in my family. But coming from my perspective this is some BS. Coming from someone who didn't have to get a work visa or apply for citizenship ever, this all seems like some BS. There wasn't this kind of migration going on when I was growing up. Where did it come from? Why is it happening now of all times? What are these people being told? Wtf is going on because a born, bred, and raised citizen is highly confused, offended, angry, and fed up.

Well the same happens in HK when HK government, which its citizens never voted for, welcomes thousands and thousands of mainland Chinese immigrants every year (who are very rich) for work, investment (money laundering) and university degrees and the rent goes up every year like crazy, and all they want is a HK passport so they can then move overseas, and they still shame and mock HK for fighting for democracy

Immigration must be stopped. We are being overrun and all because of our useless, clueless leaders. Never vote ndp/liberal again. They are one party now.

Find the video about the receipt left by a Venezuelan illegal in a bodega in NYC. They get over $15,000, lets say 18,000 per MONTH for food & $5,000 in cash. A conservative estimate- $23,000+ per month in govt benefits. x 12 is $276,000 ANNUALLY. They've been incentivized to invade so they can vote & many of them already have. \n\nWe've been sold out to the lowest bidder by our own leaders. We are hemorrhaging money because our government is giving it away. Stock up on necessities, medication, 1st aid & canned, dried and freeze-dried goods, get your guns & ammo & GET READY. This is serious & it's going to get ugly. The attempted assassination of Donald Trump on July 13th was a wake up call. I never liked the man. I voted for Dementia Magoo the child-groper against my better judgment. So disgusted! This year I'll VOTE FOR TRUMP.

CNN also said Biden Harris and and democrats have had the best border plan and protection over any prior administration ????? USA people I'm not resident of your country don't fully know rep or dem but I know never vote dem and Trump is awesome vote him and all rep fix ya self

I’ve yet to hear Trump say anything negative about her being black .. he’s simply stating she’s using it as a card to get votes .: never said be scared of her bc shes black .. but be fearful of our economic and criminal future if she gets elected .. have the last 4 years gotten better or worse ? Was 2016-2020 better for your neighborhoods and pocket book ? STOP

Keep voting democrat and this will NEVER end!

New Yorkers keep voting for Democrats. No Republican can win any office because those darn Republicans are meanies. I'M NO RACIST=I'll keep voting Democrat! (And just complain that NY is ruined until I'm forced to move out. But at least I'm no racist who never voted Republican. ?)

There are now quite a few news stories in Canada of immigrants leaving the country - some back home and others to the USA and other places. Many just get a Canadian passport and then leave. There are public health care and pensions, so it can be an asset and also a convenient travel document to have. A lot of Canadian university graduates have a very hard time finding work in their fields and a lot of them look to the US for a better future. Both immigration and unemployment in Canada are much higher that in the US - so more people are chasing fewer jobs that often pay less and are taxed more than in the USA. Opportunities are generally a lot fewer in Canada than the US, and the business environment is not as favourable, and taxes significantly higher. You would be getting some of the entrepreneurs from Canada moving to the US for more favourable conditions as well to launch a business and also now a lot more rich investor types, so-called high net worth individuals wanting to relocate, because they just raised the capital gains tax in Canada. Capital gains is also triggered on inheritance in Canada with a deemed sale of property and assets, so rich people would prefer the American system and want to be residents there for tax purposes and have their assets grow in value in the US compared to Canada. There are very large numbers of foreign students and other categories of immigrants which may have as their goal going to the US after getting a temporary visa to Canada which is easy to get - maybe something like half a million to a million people in those categories depending on the year, plus around another half million regular immigrants and refugees now. The Trudeau administration has increased immigration to record numbers. It has been steadily going up over the years for several decades since 1990. Because of family re-unification it can have a snowball effect and could significantly exceed 1 million per year. A lot of the sending countries have much larger populations than Canada, so there are a lot more that can be potentially sent to Canada in the future. About 1/4 of the population of Canada has been added in the past few decades. Add to that visitors and temporary visas - that is a lot of people potentially moving to the US. Before the 1990s Canadians visiting the US were not required to have a passport and a drivers' license or birth certificate was adequate. Now a passport is required. It is impossible to effectively control the long Canada-US border, so there could be some unified policies in that area agreed on between Canada and the USA on immigration and refugees. Canada currently has a very open immigration policy with the government actively seeking out more immigration beyond its current processing capacity and trying to take rejected immigrants from other countries. The Canadian government, especially in recent years under Trudeau is immigration hungry. It might be the only country in the world doing that. What some news reports are now saying is that some immigrants are actually leaving, since they find it so difficult in Canada and some are worse off than they were in the countries they came from, which were considered to be less developed than Canada. \nWashington currently has more immigration controls and administrative competencies than Ottawa, so US pressure and influence is a faster way to get reforms into the system than waiting for local politicians to do anything, which is unlikely. Canada is seen by some as a backdoor into the US. Biden's immigration policies could be seen as very conservative in Canada compared to Trudeau's. It used to be in the news about how refugees were trying to get to Canada and walking across the border in Quebec and out west from the US earlier, but now there are more news stories of immigrants leaving Canada trying to go the other way, probably due to high costs and unemployment because the government took in more people than it could absorb into the economy. They have the idea that immigration drives GDP growth so that they can borrow and spend more, expand the civil service, etc. without making any cutbacks or efficiencies, supposedly without the Debt to GDP ratio getting worse, just by bringing in more people as if that would drive the economy. A lot depends on who you bring in as well. Are they going to go on welfare, are they going to increase crime, will they somehow contribute to society, are they a net tax benefit or cost in terms of government services, will they invest money, will they start a business and create jobs for others ? Those issues do not factor into government decision making in Canada for the most part. Ontario Premier Doug Ford did say there were too many foreign students. It is bad planning not to consider those factors since there are other costs that grow with those policies as well, and infrastructure has to be expanded. I think that the real immigration numbers to Canada are not transparent or made public, nor are the costs involved, if anyone even knows what they are. Nor is the impact on crime. You can guess from what the reports are in other countries. The Fraser Institute has made some estimates on the net costs of immigration to the government budget a few years ago, which were very high and which by now have increased - the cost equivalent of several new aircraft carriers each year. They are big numbers which are not publicized, but it amounts to the fact that immigration is subsidized by the taxpayers in Canada and it is not paying for our pensions as an ageing society as has been claimed. There is less money for education, health care and pensions per person, and those social benefits will probably have to be reduced over time. Social programs can only be delivered to the extent that the government has money. The bigger social system a county has, the more such immigration policies are going to cost. Trudeau has been expanding various social programs as well, so higher taxes and debt are likely with that approach. Then more productive people and companies will want to leave Canada and go to the US. Probably the government does not know what the actual numbers and costs are and doesn't actively keep track of that information beyond what is required. Probably nobody knows what the true immigration figures and their associated costs are in Canada, and hardly anyone has even studied those issues. If they can just walk across the US border and get papers so easily making an asylum claim, it is not surprising, since it would take them longer to get a regular visa and work permit if they did it legally. You could call that a loophole in the US immigration system which is being exploited. The US is better governed in general and has a better system in many ways, but I am not sure if it is the same on that. People have arrived on boats and have not been sent back. At least in the US you have more open information about those issues. In Canada it is hard to find out anything about it. Deportations from Canada are very few. \nOn other issues in Canada when voting in federal elections you have to show a government issued photo ID like a drivers' license or passport to vote and bring a card that was mailed out to eligible voters that gets updated addresses when a person files their taxes. I have never heard of mail-in ballots in Canada, but there are remote areas of the country in the far north who may have special system for voting. It is easier to get a Canadian citizenship than US and many more citizenships are handed out in Canada each year in proportion to the population than in the US. Canadian might be one of the easiest citizenships to get in the world. The official line now is that it is a country of immigrants. Based on current trends, will very little opposition to it in the parliament and most MPs supporting it, future immigration to Canada could increase to several million per year because of the rapid growth of population in the world, and the momentum already growing of immigration to Canada, so it may change significantly in the future. Historically around the world you can see many examples that country names, borders, flags and languages change over time with population changes, so it might not be called Canada anymore in 50-100 years. For example, Bulgaria used to be called Thrace which had been a powerful kingdom in antiquity and had a different language which is barely known about anymore. Over the past 2,000 years it has gone through a number of changes and had various regimes governing it, has been independent and also part of several different empires. Canada has only been a country for a short time in comparison and has been been going through significant changes. Trudeau has said that Canada is a post-national country. Canada is also going through a period of critical self-examination and deconstruction-revisionism. A lot of what had been viewed as positive from its history now is seen more critically, with re-naming and removing historical figures now seen as negative.\nDiscussing immigration policy critically is considered by many to be taboo in Canada, unless a person is saying good things about it in general. You can hear people say that the government isn't processing enough people, for example, but not often that there are too many or that it costs a lot of money. The trend of migration from Canada to the US would only increase much more in the future as it is going currently, and its role as a stepping stone to migration to the US could increase. The way this would be seen by many in Canada is that they are losing valuable people to the USA whom they consider assets, since a lot of officials have been trying to bring in more people into the country, but not everyone wants to stay in Canada nowadays because of a lack of jobs and opportunities. Canada is quite laissez-faire about migration, with Toronto being a sanctuary city as well.

This administration trying to out do the black American to vote democrats again. What lack of respect for the population. That’s why Trump said fight for your rights and never give up as the assassination attempt. It’s all clear now… ??????

I never voted for Trudope. This is horrible!!!

NEVER FORGET DEMOCRATS. YOU VOTED FOR YOUR TAX DOLLARS TO GO TO ILLEGALS RATHER THAN YOUR OWN PEOPLE. THAT'S ACTUALLY WHAT THE DEMOCRATS ARE DOING TO YOU RIGHT NOW. WHY AREN'T YOU MAD? WHY AREN'T YOU SPEAKING OUT? WHY ARE YOU PUTTING UP WITH IT? \n\nCome on New Yorkers. You're killing your City, and paying for your destruction. WAKE UP!

Vote folks, if this isn't stopped now it never will be. Trump

Vote trump....illegals get $23 thousands. DEPORT, DEPORT....AS A CITIZEN AND WORK FOR 42 YRD...AND PAY SOCIAL SECURITY AND IRS AND PROPERTY TAXES....I NEVER SEEN THAT MUCH IN MY ACCOUNT EVER.??????????

Sanctuary benefits 100% go to illegal aliens, as a NYC citizen about to be homeless, NONE of thay free money, foos, housing and college goes to me, a black American citizen, it goes to illegal aliens and MY TAXES fund their luxury.\n\nSTOP VOTING DEMOCRAT.\n\nps: i never voted blue and never will because it's democrats who are purposely replacing us with illegal aliens to keep them in power

I guess people are never going to learn, are they? You get what you vote for. Welcome to the Banana Republic of the United States of Losers, the newest of the new third world countries at the illegal migrants service, but you're on your own if you're an American.

As much as the democrat adminstration lies and covers up stories and blames others... How are we to believe anything they say at the Democrat National Convention, DNC?\n Don't sit back and think we have this election won, never under estimate a democrate they will lie and cheat at any expense to stay in power. Get out and Vote......\n Biden and his adminstration is our # 1 enemy to our troops, veterans, citizens and country. A Harris adminstration would be the same, more than likely worse.

BORDER CZAR KAMALA HARRIS WILL NEVER CLOSE THE BORDERS. REMEMBER THAT WHEN YOU VOTE

Democrat's are 100% responsible for all of these corrupt policy's . Vote Trump or suffer like you never had in the USA.

As we can see the Democrats are destroying this country yet there are people who back it. The country will never be the same. Free rent, Healthcare, food, schooling who wouldn't want to come here. Citizens of this country will eventually lose their voting power and rights and will be taxed higher and higher.

We apologize for our horrible immigration policies in Canada. Our Liberal government is killing us with their policies and unfortunately it’s affecting you! Always vote conservative, never vote liberal. Can’t wait until Justin Trudeau and his government are gone! Maybe Canada can recover one day and become Canada again!

3rd Gen Native NY'er, NEVER Voted, that might change this year.

Don’t forget Harris never did anything at border. If you want this vote Harris taking our SS MEDICARE TO SUPPORT ILLEGALS OPEN EYES AMERICANS

The sad thing kamala was in charge of the southern border the media is denying it just google it and read articles from 2021 . But New York will vote for kamala again New York will never go red in my city unfortunately
