Your Insurance is a couple hundred a month? THAT is too much! No way would I move! And I've had operations and NOTHING costs anything when you go to the hospital no matter what you have or need!! I'd like to meet you, Tyler, but I could NOT move to the States, your gov't is awful too! Sorry, don't mean to be rude. Too many right-wing nuts as well. Too many anit-2SLGTBQIA+ people and legislation! NO way.

I'm British, now retired and living in Spain for 20 years. Have noticed that in the last 10 years there are an awful lot of Americans who are moving here mainly because, although they still have to have private health, it's hugely cheaper here and the service is good; also the lifestyle is more laid back and they can visit a lot of different cultures. In the late 1960s my husband and I emigrated to Toronto, Canada. Visited the US a couple of times. First to NY city, second time down to Kentucky /Tennessee. My parents came on that trip with us. Met Americans at the motels we stayed in and a couple of times my father nearly lost it (don't know how he just kept quiet) as Americans his age were quite abusive and kept on about about how we'd never be able to repay America for their help in WW2 (my father fought in that for all 6 years). Anyway left Canada after 4 years and returned to England; not because we didn't like it but I was terribly homesick. None of the Canadians we're still in touch with would ever have moved to the US.

I did move to and live in Florida for a year and a half and it was the worst decision I ever made. It was awful and to say it was a culture shock is an understatement. I moved from Victoria BC to Fort Lauderdale Florida. I was yelled at for wearing a mask in the grocery stores, I was called a pedophile and a groomer for being gay, I was told repeatedly that Canada is a communist, socialist evil woke empire. When I finally moved back to Canada it was like a breath of fresh air and a relief.

This is Awful why these people don’t fix this issue !!

You know…. They can travel hundreds and thousands of miles to organize unlawful entry into the US…. Why can’t they organize like that against the scumbags ruining their country? Stop leaving and stand the fuck up for your country and make it better. They’ll call us racist as they’re banging our doors down to get in… why would you risk your life to enter such an awful racist place?

no no no. the cops should do nothing. this is awful but not a crime

Our country is an absolute joke! I can remember watching news footage tears ago … thinking .. wow… that must be awful to live in a third world country. I felt bad for the people. WELL now WE live in a third world nation…. Thanks Dickhead Biden. You have put everyone at risk… including migrants!!!!!!! Your policies absolutely suck… you suck… you gotta GO!!!!! ???. I can’t believe this is America!!!! Ronald where are you!!!!! ????. Why do have to be gone

Notbut we're awful because we try to send them back...okay...

So awful that these poor people are so desperate to get out of Mexico, for a better life,they just do everything to get here!!! Please, Father Jehovah 4,help these people, Your children, to get a better life. Thank You, Father, Amen!!❤❤❤❤?

This is a sad reality everywhere. They are exactly the same here in England, London is ok but the rest of England is awful. WS are not brave outside of the internet, they troll and never show up to agreed meetups, I have tried. Remember that my people!

President Biden needs locked up for what he has done to this country. I am so angry that all the government does is go after Trump while this is happening!!! So fed up! Is it any wonder that people are doing awful things? This country is chaos! He has brought América to its knees, along with the puppet master!

There seem to be an awful lot of Russians in Canada - from a culture that never had a Reformation or Enlightenment and shows it!! If you are following what is happening in Russia now, totally alien to Western values, reminiscent in some respects to 1930s Germany, public opinion and attitudes - you will already be doubtful about the fundamental assumptions that Russians may have about life and relations with others.

Omg thank god I don't live in America,being this is the way a cheating bunch of Democrats and Biden uses illegals to desperately get votes.seems awful Vets and homeless live on the streets and this lot are taking over your hotels paid by you idiot taxpayers. shame on you.

I’m an independent that usually votes Democrat, but the border should be a nonpartisan issue.\n\nAmerica is not like Europe. European countries are the sizes of states, and they have the European Union to cross govern.\n\nAmerica does not have a relationship with Canada or Mexico like any of the EU countries.\n\nWe cannot be letting this happen. I feel for the people suffering in Mexico, I truly do. But mass illegal immigration is not the solution.\n\nNo matter how bad things get in America, I will never just walk over to Canada and demand a job.\n\nOur societies have to function on a system, and that system demands legal immigration.\n\nWe have to do something, but when it’s a bridge like this…I don’t know what ethical solutions there would be. \n\nMaybe an electrical fence? The thought of a child being electrocuted because they were pushed into that fence is devastating to me; it would be heartbreaking to see anyone injured that way.\n\nWe can’t hurt these people, that’s not right. But we have to find some way of keeping them from crossing illegally.\n\nA wall, a mote, an electric fence—honesty, I don’t see how any of those would keep people out…\n\nIt’s just an awful mess. Forget Democrats versus Republicans. This is an issue every American should recognize.

We are being invaded!!! This is awful!! It's scary and Americans need to vote this insanity out!!!!

I don’t know much as Im still a minor and young but this is awful. The people in the comments calling these people disgusting are horrible human beings these people are just trying to make it by and escape a country that has wronged them. We need to stop thinking about only ourselves

I feel awful but shit we can barely help ourselves ? believe there's no American Dream ?like No Real Golden Years, it a myth

This is a invasion of people acting uncivilized! Awful!

Venezuela is awful to their people, but this isn’t the answer. We need a new President before we become like them!

Awful

America is AWFUL now

This is AWFUL!

This administration is awful.

These channels are awful. Delete your account.

It's about time that this awful exploitation of international students was reported. I can not wait to see this put to a stop and the perpetrùtors punished.

the god awful real estate market has taken full effect on Canadians, it has displaced families, caused almost no one to have children, removed hope from younger generations and many many more challenges for business and residents. if some way it could be fixed then our country would prosper again, but its hard living here when household income is less than 100k on average yet the average home price in Ontario is 850k...

I feel so sorry for the babies. I can't help it. I don't want the borders open, at all. It's awful.

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 !

This proves how awful the USA is MASSES trying to get in. Chew on that America hating libs...

Imagine how awful their home is that they are doing this. Sad

So sad i feel for them shame we can't get our shit together here and then help them out they want out so bad must be awful there ?

This like lamb to a slaughter... you absolute pinhead dorks this isn't happening rn and it happened last month. There is a wall and ICE, Border Patrol, along with federal agents are all there. These are moments where it's clear an agenda is being pushed and us dumb Americans fall for it EACH time. I know damn well any Beth, Donna, Robert and Gary's are gonna be picking up hard labor like field work or awful factory conditions with little pay. Lazy af Americans just love to complain and CNN is happy to give you that.

Young girls are being trafficked. Democrats don’t care at all. If they do they are awfully quiet about it. 100,000 fentanyl deaths each years. Biden doesn’t care because their probably not his voters. Everyday 20 veterans commit suicide in the USA. Neither party cares. Biden’s homeland security chief lies with a straight face that the borders are secure and gets away with it because nobody cares. So MF sad.

It is awful that so many countries treat their citizens so terribly that they are forced to flee and we countries we are actually responsible have to suffer because of it. We in the West simply don’t have the resources or the room to save EVERYONE.

Don't these people know we are racist and awful and will make life unbearable for them?

Since when did America become the birthright of everybody in the world? The sad part is most these people will tell you how awful America is but in the same breath they want to live here because it’s better!

I hurts seeing people flee with such desperation from communism. That shit is awful. We can’t take you. We’re literally fighting communism in the US right now. It’s ruining us.

Why are we doing this Americans can can’t even afford to live especially in California it’s really awful down here

Hi there gal we don’t say guys, it’s sexist!\n\n \n\nInteresting take on your move to the great white north.\n\nI can imagine coming from Russia to Canada was a shock.\n\nYou have pointed out so many things that are so normal in the west.\n\nAs I have never lived in Russia, I have no idea what it must be like there.\n\nJudging by your reaction to your observations of Canada Russia must be so\n\nmuch easier place to live..?\n\nYour comments on homeless, work-market, tax system etc. gives me the impression that\n\nthe Russian system must be so much better…?\n\nFrom my experience from living in numerous western countries, I regard Canada as average.\n\nThe UK and the USA are awful places to live. Although this is not the case if you have money, same as anywhere else. The same can be said if you are poor life is an awful struggle.\n\nWell except in Russia…?\n\n \n\nI have stayed in Canada on numerous occasions and I have never experienced any real cultural clashes.\n\nWell some of the newer Canadians seem to think that if anything goes against them it’s discrimination. Moreover, some of the newer Canadians are very racist towards the more established immigrants i.e. who have been living there for more generations.\n\nThe fact that some companies have “white” non-immigrant boards is reflection on the competence factor. I have experienced companies that have employed new Canadians with non-western backgrounds that are totally disasters because they have no idea about the work culture, language, way of treating staff etc.\n\nI think that you YT page is like a lesson about how immigrants from non-western countries perceive and misinterpret the west’s work culture, society and culture.\nHave experienced some new immigrant bosses who are so elitist and discriminating i resigned. Wrote review about the company on LINKEDIN.\n\n\nDon’t expect that there is any discrimination in Russia…?

THEY'RE IN THE THOUSANDS IN MEXICO AND THEY HATE HATE MEXICO SO THEY RIOT EVERY OTHER WEEK... IT'S AWFUL FOR SMALL MEXICAN TOWNS.. AWFUL.. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED BY ORGANIZERS OF THESE CARAVANS

Muslim laws for Muslims only this is England and everyone living here should be made to live under them shria ok aw NEVER!!!

I’m a Brit who had just returned from a holiday in Mexico. My hotel TEAMING with Americans and Canadians and the difference between them both was IMMENSE! Now I’m not saying this about all Americans at all. Just the majority that were at my hotel. Man those people were rude. Rude, Arrogant, entitled, obnoxious and loud. The way they spoke to staff, other guests and locals was awful. No manners, clicking their fingers, cutting lines, being aggressive, blaming others for their lack of understanding. Men stomping around being rude about other peoples nationalities. Chanting and being very egotistical. I’ve never experienced anything like it.\nThe Canadians though. The absolute polar opposite. So polite, so kind, so respectful, so friendly. I spoke to so many about life and experiences and all were just lovely. Obviously I know that not all Americans are that way, nor are all Canadians lovely. The difference I saw in those 10days day was huge. I’d much rather go to Canada than America now.

I live in Vancouver & it is progressively getting more and more unsafe. But- it's our wild drug problems and local government failing to properly prosecute crime. There are many articles calling out how violent criminals are here. Our judges are consistently letting out violent criminals on bail and they keep reoffending. I feel for the cops who keep arresting criminals, only to arrest them again a month later while knowing they'll be seeing them again soon. We don't have a huge number of evil criminals or gang war in the streets, but a small consistent number of drug addicts detached from reality committing random acts of violence. \n\nAgreed on our tap water is fantastic. I remember the first time I drank tap water in Florida I was shocked at the awful taste. \n\nLastly- Canada does need to get better laws to protect citizens from monopolies. Insurance, cell phones, internet, and electricity are pretty lawless for big corporations to rack in profits. It is progressing, but slowly.

I would love to see you two debate Crowder because he was born in Canada, moved to America, and thinks that Canada is f*cking awful.

Its a bit niche but phone bills in Canada are pretty awful. I don't know if it has gotten better on the east coast, but on the west coast pays 60$+ per month for jack-all on data on a bare minimum smartphone plan. I live in Europe now and I pay 12$ for 5Gb of data and free texts and calls across Europe (also no data roaming within the EU, which should be a thing between USA and Canada imo). These kind of mobile plans are starting to take root in the USA but are still not available in Canada, which is a major L in my books.

Idk I live in switzerland and the idea of having to drive every time you wanna do something sounds so awful

Other than that awful lockdown and forcing people to get the jab, Canada is way better

Wow. Canada weather looks awful. So dreary.

In the US, I only was allowed 5 weeks off after having my baby, because I took off about 4 days before my baby was born due to Early Labor!! I also was only paid HALF my salary. They wanted me to return to work while I was still in pain, my daughter was having swallowing difficulties which continued for 3 years, and I was having PPA! It is awful. We are moving to Canada this year for many reasons but maternity leave, childcare costs, and safety are some of the most important reasons!

Omg I'm so sorry! Canadians should be offering free schooling and lodging for all these people. Canadians are just so awful, not giving everything.
