I LOVED THIS. THANK U MEL! ❤️
In 2004 I wrote a somewhat famous article called 'Top 8 reasons not to immigrate to Canada'. In short, the Canadian authorities tried to destroy my life. They made it so that I could not be employable in Canada. So I moved to the U.S. in 2005 and then some years later I moved permanently to the Philippines. I am happy that so many years later videos like yours are saying essentially the same things that I did. I was ahead of my time. I will never go back to Canada. Not to live, not to visit, not even a connecting flight. Too cold, too expensive, taxes are astronomical, no culture, no freedom, no jobs, no opportunities, only modern slavery, worst healthcare system, unbearable political correctness, crime infested/drug infested, xenophobic people, too depressing. It has become a North Korea style dictatorship in the western world. There are many reasons why Canada has fallen apart. But the number one reason is ‘multiculturalism’. My friends, multiculturalism simply does not work. Different cultures do not come together and mix, different cultures come together and clash. The world is divided into different countries for a reason: because people hate each other and only want to be with their own kind. The number two reason for Canada’s demise is ‘socialism’. In this modern era of aging populations, it is mathematically impossible for socialism to continue. The government does not have the money to take care of old people and provide healthcare, pensions, welfare, unemployment benefits, disability benefits and the numerous other programs, even with the astronomical taxation that burdens hard working Canucks. Well Canada, you had a good run. Time for Canucks to move to an emerging country. We welcome you here in Southeast Asia. Multiculturalism destroys the fabric and identity of a country. Socialism bankrupts a country.
I agree and that's a beautiful speech you gave, Melissa. However, I always emphasize that we are a nation of immigrants, but also a nation of laws and borders. People who immigrate here need to do so lawfully. Canada absolutely needs and wants immigration, specifically legal immigration and not illegal immigration! For most of Justin Trudeau's time in office, his policies and actions have incentivized illegal immigration and as a result, along the way, Canadians have grown frustrated with the Liberal government and the immigration system because they feel that the laws of the land haven't been properly enforced. It's about preserving our national security and protecting our sovereignty. Ultimately, it's just common sense to secure your borders and enforce immigration laws.
legal immigrants...NOT ILLEGAL!!
How can I move to Canada?
