  3. It looks like they are eating Meat I am a Pensioner who has worked here for Forty years and can't afford to buy Meat. If you think it is better In the Ukraine than Canada Goodbye.

  5. Canada government is a joke on everything to live and have a life in Canada I think in some way the government is in adequate to make any thing better for anyone our government has not lived from the past and now we reaping the problems of government ignorance and stupidness on food, housing, mostly anything they care about is tax money and in adequate to really really care Canadian citizens Canada government is truly truly tone deaf or broken maybe just 40 years of making Canada worse off. Just my opinion.

  8. I don't know why this story is being featured. Everyone in Canada is struggling. With 8 kids they would be getting a lot of money from the government for each one of them.

  9. Even dual income earners are struggling.

  10. We are ALL struggling thanks to Trudeau and the woke, left-wing extremist policies that has taken over Canada. Even the Liberals OWN reports confirm that Trudeau's mass immigration policies are the biggest contributor to our housing crisis. It also has helped create a health care crisis.

  18. The family should have gone to Germany like 1.5 million other Ukrainians. They receive 600 euros per adult and 470 euros per child. Rent, heating costs and health insurance are also paid. Believe me, German taxpayers are angry.

  21. C’est quoi la nouvelle? D’après moi c’est une réalité, on est tous dans le même bateau. Évidemment, si juste 1 personne travaille, la famille manque d'argent. Leurs enfants ne sont pas si petits pour que madame reste à la maison pour les garder. Si les 2 parents travaillent (en passant sans avoir le bon niveau de français c'est pas facile de trouver un bon job, mais c'est possible) et leurs les plus grands enfants font quelques heures par semaine dans un Tim-Hortons/McDos/épicerie/etc., ils vont s'en sortir. Si la famille pense de rester au Canada, donc 38K de revenu par année n’est pas suffisant pour mener la vie de qualité. Étant d’origine de l’Ukraine aussi, je peux dire que ça se travaille dure ici, si tu veux être gagnant.

  22. I understand protecting women and children but why isn't that Ukrainian man doing here, he should be fighting for his country instead of hiding here

  25. Canadian government doesnt want hardworking, high trust Europeans. They want low trust scammers from you know where.

  27. The first problem is they chose Quebec.
    The last problem is, well, they chose Quebec.
    Why would anyone in their right mind say they want to live there with an actual straight face?

  32. 👋 bye. Give us the welfare back that we gave you….. You should have stayed in the Ukraine. Given the help to people that really need it like Palestinians.

  33. He also had a choice not to reproduce eight children if its about the money as he claims
    He should of figured out if he can financially support so mamy children before he took his Kabasa out of his pants

  36. Thank god they are not brown or black or Asian trust me all those open arms from Canadian will shut their door and start crying

  42. Indians are living together as 20 people in 2 bedroom apartments. They are the only ones that can afford housing.

  44. This is unfortunate. The financial situation in Canada is currently a nightmare for everyone. Hopefully they strengthen their English and find better jobs.
