Health care in Canada is not free—while Canadians may not pay directly for medical services, they pay a substantial amount of money for health care through taxes.

We don’t have free health care! We pay a monthly fee and have high taxes.

The hate comments on this video are really too many. And as I know most of the foreigners don't watch this channel, I think most of these are butt hurt people who couldn't do anything in their life and are jealous of those in the video. Or some other state people jealous of Punjabis all over the world and completely dominating India. \n\nAnd I give a rats ass about your patriotism if you can't respect other people's choices. that's what we Indians are famous for - not respecting anybody's choices and going on with moral policing. \n\nAnd as for questioning their patriotism, the send more money back to India than you Guys will ever earn in your life. And they are citizens of their country, pay taxes and work hard and are obviously proud of their adopted nation.

One has high taxes and the other has cheaper healthcare basically

health care in canada is not free it gets paid for by taxes

great video...as a Canadian I have to clear up a misconception about our health care. It is not free. We pay huge taxes on our earned income to cover the cost of health care.\nI think most Americans would be shocked if they saw how much taxes we pay.

Minor correction: Healthcare in Canada isnt free, its paid by taxes, which explains why the tax rates are so high.

There is no such thing as “free” healthcare!! Hello taxes $$$$$$! \nIf the healthcare in Canada is free may I have a tax cut please ?

An unwillingness, to value the contribution of visible minorities is the most disturbing angle of it, questioning whether we pay taxes are you kidding me ???

Reasons for Canadians to move to the USA:\n\n\n1. Less taxes\n\n\n2. Less taxes\n\n\n3. Less taxes\n\n\n4. Less Taxes\n\n\n5. Less Taxes\n\n\n6. Less Taxes\n\n\n7. Less Taxes\n\n\n8. Less Taxes\n\n\n9. Less Taxes\n\n\n10. Less Taxes

where do they go after, hotels ??? or free houses?? dam it I am struggling and can't make ends meet, taxed at 70%

The only media who has the balls to report the truth ...Justin you Moran you lier you don’t close the boarder you allow these people who might be carrying the virus... you allow people from China Italy Nd Iran but no screening or thermal camera use our tax money to buy a cavers Moran

Hospitals are getting overwhelmed with patients as corona virus pushes the healthcare system to its limits, there are limited ventilators/beds - Italian citizens are dying because of lack of medical supplies, should illegal migrants get priority and be allowed in to add burden to the already taxed Canadian medical system.

I am a legal immigrant. my parents paid a lot of money and we also had done health tests to move to Canada. i'm a permanent resident and i pay taxes, why is it for free for them? not fair, sorry

Canadians can't trespass in facilities that they pay for with their own tax dollars, but illegals can trespass in our country and live off the taxpayer. It doesn't look like we have to obey the law. Gather up a bunch of protesters and put up a blockade around the border. We already learned from the pipeline protests and railroad blockades that the law means nothing. You won't get anywhere unless you fight fire with fire.

And with each one they will continue to further be a burden on Canada and our taxes will need to go up to pay for their welfare. Soon our CPP wont be there because of the new Canadians who come here illegally. Our government should be taking steps to close that border crossing point.

They should treat muslims the same way they treat non muslims in muslims countries. Make them pay taxes for being muslims. And treat them like 2nd class citizens.

So he still has 10 million !!! And no one came after him for tax evasion??? And a single mom gets a wrong refund and has to pay triple the amount !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you love Communists and dictators than you will enjoy being a tax slave for the terr oist loving government of ?? !

These are investment visas... generates a good deal of revenue and taxes for the people. I agree he did wrong doing and should be punished but they are portraying him like a El Chapo or some drug dealer or murderer. I think that’s excessive to harass him at his residence

Me income tax ka kam kakuta kay mujhe wha kam melga

The fine is less than the tax due. What kind of BS is this?

She has been fired that’s why she doesn’t pay anymore taxes.

Hello, I just watched your video. Three years after you made it. I hope you are still with us and a very belated Welcome. Many people throughout the world seem to have so many stereotypes about Americans. Whether it is good or bad there typically is some truth in a stereotype. Overall it seems like you are enjoying yourself and no matter what there is no place like home. I would think no matter what your current situation is you still miss Canada as I would miss the United States if I were to move to Canada. \nA couple things you mentioned in the video were not correct and as with anything there may be a little truth in the matter but yet still incorrect.\nThose who do not have health insurance are not charged or taxed $150 monthly. There is a provision in the affordable care act (ACA) that penalizes certain individuals who make above a certain dollar amount. The amount is either $150 or $300 for the entire year. I concur any monetary penalty against anyone for not having health insurance is outrageous. I could be wrong but I believe this aspect of the ACA was never implemented under President Obama and it was indefinitely suspended or revoked by President Trump. I also feel like I need to address your thoughts about the United States all about war. I believe the American people are like most other people and want peace and civility. The government and major defense contractors have differing opinions at times. Of course there is plenty of people who are war hawks but they are in the minority. Most of us are absolutely sick of war. We currently have been at war for almost 19 years. That's six complete world war 2's in their entirety. \nI think you were being awfully generous when you said obesity is on par with the rest of the world!! Unfortunately there is far to many fat people here and the problem is only getting worse because the media says be happy and proud you are fat. Celebrating obesity is absolutely insane and it sends the wrong message to young people. If a close one is fat of course I love them but I also tell them privately that they are a walking heart attack. It's more than OK to accept someone the way they are but as a friend or family member you doing them a disservice by not mentioning their obesity. \nI'm sorry if you feel I'm being to harsh or critical. I think it is a wonderful thing to share the world's longest border with such a great nation as Canada. I have always thought Canada was like the United States fraternal brother or sister. We are very much alike with a few beautiful differences that distinguishes from one another. It doesn't appear that you upload videos hear anymore but I hope you get the opportunity to read this. Thank you for coming to the United States and I love all my canadian brothers and sisters. Take care.

zCanada will be next Islamic nation. wait.U eat halal .which is certified and taxed by Islam.which goes to build Mosque and promote Islam. So non muslims in Canada are all ready promoting Islam.

Canadian it self want to change nationality, the tax is so high.

A lot of people cheat the Canadian immigration system. This is where your hard made tax money goes to.

2 years in prison and he made 9 Million. He had to pay 900K for taxe. I will take that deal any time. But in the other hand he just was just trying to make a living.

Canadians were warned , dont forget Trudeau set up a place for ISIS in Toronto to rehabilitate them , You as tax payers are paying for there New masques , this is a fkn outrage and Trontonians say Nothing until its to late

Hotels so where will the tax paying homless Canadians go Mr. Fix it all???

So sad! The government knew about it all along but chose to do nothing. In 2006 Lebanese conflict, thousands of Lebanese that never paid a dime in tax or spent over a month in Canada suddenly whipped out their Canadian passports and demanded to be rescued. I worked very hard to come to this country and I love how courteous and disciplined most Canadian are. I want Canada to punish cheaters.

Politicians dividing people so they can continue to loot oil and other resources, pay 0 taxes and get hefty tax returns. Why this guy isn't angry at Amazon and Facebook owner not paying a single penny in tax? Or condemning the white supremacist attacks around the world? Or is he a white supremacist himself? \nSuch foolishness. All human beings are equal and it's only the deeds that show our true colors.

the natives don't have to pay taxs or pay for College

No one has the right to judge immigrates. A lot of them leaving the us have given the us there everything they came to the us to work and help contribute to the country . They payed taxes like everyone else . The us has a history making people wait many years before they are granted their green cards many people wait then are just deported I feel compassion for them . This man is not coming here to take he has a job he’s contributing to the economy he has rights.

I pay taxes, I am Canadian, I speak English, I am white...so I own you. I am superior than you...and of course you do what I say.

I guess it’s easy to have 15k to spend on a lawyer when you’re not paying taxes or medical and Government assistance coming in

cant speak english,cheating system,paying lawyers,fled u.s., taking jobs,probably no taxes,..WHAT DO U WANT..WE DONT HAVE MONEY TO JUST GIVE U, sorry trudope only loves jihadis, try that route.or..come legally like the rest of real canadians...

as soon as people understand that these people want to walk in your house,sleep on your couch and control the remote to the tv, only then will people say ENOUGH DAMNIT......government wants to raise taxes and give these people everything. enough damnit

I don’t want them here. That’s my right as a citizen to have a choice to want something or not. Voters own the government and as a forced tax payer I have a say in what I want for my country.

@kurt Haas I don't think that tax evasion mean that you give your taxes and if Social Security money away and never get them back. But yes he is guilty off trying to better his family life by living here illegally and he is guilty of using a fake Social Security number to get a low- paying job. Would you have the balls to do the same thing for your family?? I hope you never have to find out. Let's not confuse one thing with another. May God bless you and your family.

How much tax on Canada

If he regrets it then leave and save the canadian citizens on their tax money .\n\nAlso im sure many ppl who were born in their country would like a second chance in life new credit new everything . \n\nMy great grandma said if you're born here you're screwed.

Yes I ran into racial profiling when I wanted to ask why CBC is biased and won't report fairly. Being white and male, I was told that my opinion is invalid, and in spite of the taxes I pay for their wages, I don't have any say. Moreover, because I am male, CBC's supreme leader Trudeau has dictated I am not allowed any sort of platform. This is an important issue! Why do you think these sterotypes are so prevalent CBC? Crime statistics? Day to day crime by certain groups? CBC hates the question why because it conflicts with their bias as mandated by identity politics. Once I can walk through any place in Canada and not simply see, with my own eyes, the obvious differences between people based on color, or am treated like a direct decendant of slave owners by our state run media, maybe then the forty-thousand years worth of tribal cues ingrained in me will change. Are there really no examples of white men changing the narrative? No exmples you can provide for us devils to follow? No studies on private donors who are trying to help? Maybe it's time for me to stop, as there is absolutely no recognition of my attempts to make changes. The withdrawl of financial support is now my protest against your bias. CBC-peddling division through diversity indoctrination...but you've got hip, edgy music and have vilified the evil white man so there's that...wicka wicka wack yall...

I have worked my whole life, have children and live in a country that is unaffordable now.. :/ Can some country please take me and my family in and give me a free passport, healthcare, drivers license, job, social assistance/housing (welfare) and everything to set me up. Please, I beg you, Me and my 7 family members will all give you liberals free votes. Trust me, I need it more than the people who have paid taxes in your country for 4+ generations, fought wars and developed this country. PS IM CANADIAN!

What does this Migrant MP know about what I endured over my lifetime of paying Government Taxes.. ?? Tell me in TWENTY WORDS OR LESS.. ?? Anyone who SERVES CANADA by being VOTED into Government OFFICE should NOT be Paid by Serving OFFICE..

The major principle of The Islamist that any country does not follow Islam, apply Shariah law and oblige nonmoslim to pay Elgazia tax is a land of war until it surrender and follow Islam

Why not just say you turned in a drug lord. And he wants to kill you and you’re family. Instead of making a lot of money doing construction you would be able to taxes instead of living off their social programs. That’s why you need to change your home land like we did. Add freedom in your constitution with an 8 year president life long judges and a senate.\nWe gave you a template to follow. Now just I act it.

WHY DO U GUYS CRY AFTER GOING TO A FOREIGN COUNTRY OF UR CHOICE. U GUYS SHOULD BE AWARE OF ALL THE CHALLENGES IN ADVANCE.\n\nLAST THING KNOW THE TAX LAWS COZ . USA & CANADA HAVE VERY HIGH INCOME TAX \nI GUESS ITS 40%
