Having your healthcare linked to your employment leads to exploitation. No one dares lose their job. And so, you get Americans who are afraid to take time off, or to protest working conditions. Land of the free?

I don't most folks from other western democracies want to move to the USA now. Mass shootings (even at schools), Unregulated news media with leads to half their population believing lies, women's gay rights are being stripped by a corrupt Supreme court that has more power than the King.

In the US, a loss of employment could lead to a loss of insurance! This is especially problematic if you loose your job because illness or injury leaves you unable to work. While Obamacare improved that situation somewhat, it's still a big problem!

I don’t even want to visit. I was at a conference in Milwaukee and the security guards were there to keep the homeless and beggars out of the halls. I mean - a block away from the fancy building it was a wasteland. So sad. The inequality leads to more crime and there are so maaaany guns. Then there is health care. We are getting more inequality here in Canada and the social problems follow but so far Canada ?? > ??

Deploy lead projecting devices.

In some instances they are kicking out veterans to make room for illegals..There's a right way and a wrong way..this will lead to civil war

Canada has become an expensive communist shit hole. Bad weather, sky high taxes, unaffordable housing, failing healthcare, freedom and rights being stripped away, this country is hopelessly lost in this cancer woke culture, we have the weak leading the strong. We have a woke PM that is embarrassing on the world stage, his cabinet is opening bought and paid for by the WEF. Canada has become a joke. I wish I could find a new place to live out my remaining years.

Problem with Canada is the mass immigration, while at the same time the house sector is not building at the same rate.\nThis leads to higher prices of homes, higher rent, less money to spend with other goods.\nWhen people spend less money, there's less tax, so the government cant keep the same level of investment per capita.\nTo fight this, Ottawa brings more immigrants, because they bring money.\nMore immigrants mean less houses, higher prices... cycle repeats...

Canada has developed a culture of rich-hating which drives polices that harms investments so even Canadians invest and do business in the US instead of at home. RE is a great example, there is so much red tape for developers and landlords I know many that just build homes in the US instead. Not to mention the government charges a flat tax of 50% on rental income. This has lead to shortfall of homes. Ontario population has grown about 800k since 2020 but the province only built 200k homes.

Open fire with hot lead. That will get their attention.

As a Canadian who moved to (self-proclaimed world-class Vancouver) 30+ years ago, when it was a gritty, fun, quirky unusual city, I thought it was paradise in Canada. However, as time marched on, I saw the gradual change, the boring glass towers, the shoebox apartments, the closing of most live rock music venues downtown, the end of Indy races in False Creek, the cancelation of Seafest, the unchallenged foreign ownership of both commercial ond mostly empty condos, leading to a severe housing crisis - gridlock and crumbling infrasture. Furthermore, the cost of living and taxation is crippling. The present Gov't (either sides, 1 of the same) has lost all credibility. The media is garbage. Healthcare is subpar period. So, like yourself, I've also spent several years overseas in cities that are soooooo much more beautiful with amazing climates. I also spent as much time outside Vancouver possible during the last 4 years. I haven't changed much personally but wow(!) the rise in narcissism, anger and divisiveness in Vancouver over that period of time is palpable. You nailed it with 'status chasing and diengenuis' - When you leave, then come back you notice this change much more. For those that were trapped here for the last 4 years, I feel for you. I really do.

Lead poisoning will prevent it.

Runaway INFLATION and ASSET Bubbles which are the direct results of BoC's mismanagement of monetary policies are the DIRECT THREAT to Canada's Security, Sovereignty, and Independence. \nThe rates must go WAY HIGHER, to fight high inflation from its core, exactly what Paul Volker, Fed/Res chairman did in the US back in the 1980s. \nWe need DEFLATION in this country and not inflation to bring consumer prices down from high real estate prices to food, energy/utilities, and taxes. \n \nAssesst Bubbles which were created by the Bank of Canada must be DEFLATED, if NOT the cost of living will NEVER GO DOWN and it would lead to SERIOUS and DEVASTATING Social, Economic & Political Consequences in Canada for years to come which subsequently would lead to Mass Protests, Riots, Mutiny, Social & Labour Strikes/Unrest, Crimes, Violent Crimes, Organized Crimes, Drugs, Unemployment, Homelessness, Tent cities, Inequality, and Disparity.

The 1988 Olymics were not the catalyist for the cities urban growth. The 88 Winter games left a Sporting and training legacy if that's what you are refering to. The economic driver is Oil and Gas exploration and devlopment. This has occured over many decades leading up to 1988 and continuesthrough to 2023. Other econmic drivers such as technology, tourism, film and TV production and Finacial services, freight logistics both truck and rail.

For me, I live in Vancouver, but when I'm done college, I'm hoping to find a job in Seattle and immigrate there. They recently opened up a Pokemon HQ there, Nintendo's hiring, Seattle's the HQ of Bungie, the maker of the Destiny games and much more! I feel like it's easier to find a job in the US than in Canada. In fact, my college instructor said so. There's more jobs there than in this small town. I'm heading towards SFU and I'm hoping to land a few coops, including one in Seattle to see if I like it there. And no, I do not care about healthcare, mass shootings or politics. The chances of you randomly being shot is about the same as getting ran over by a car. For healthcare, it's usually provided by your employer. But otherwise, you can buy it yourself as there's many options to choose from. Some of them are really good, but people are just overgeneralizing everything. My hope is that employment will eventually lead to permanent residency. Then, I can go buy a house in Texas, Florida or Colorado where it's much cheaper than Vancouver

More and more people wont be able to afford buying houses. Younger generations are screwed, as well as millions of new Canadians. At some point renters will not be able to afford ever growing rents and start defaulting on payments (and slam lords will have all fun in the world kicking out thousands and thousands of desperate families.., good luck with that!!!).\nAt some point it all will lead to rise in social unrest. \nIt just a matter of time until Canadian government will be forced to launch an unprecedented program to build subsidized housing, and to pay for this crazily expensive program it will be forced to introduce home equity tax, as well as higher inheritance taxes.

This will lead to mass deportations … hopefully

Use lead

This is what Trump was talkin about uncontrolled immigration can lead to our own demise... Y'all keep playing around we going to be in trouble... ?

Uhm welcome to life. I grew up in the capital of Missouri. *Only* reason I got as far as I did in management and sales was befriending white ppl that were higher up. Leading one to move me to Chicago to work for his company after he left Mo. Learned early on only befriend ppl that are where u want to go not where ur at. Play smart not hard. Make friends with ppl that help u grow not keep u the same.

I wonder why? If you can't see the correlation between Trump's failed Coups attempts, his economic war with Venezuela, and the days leading up to the end of Title 42, the Border Patrol stopped 2,400 Venezuelans daily. Trump is directly responsible for them coming: Small list of US sanctions: \n-Citibank froze and closed bank accounts in 2017 \n-Citibank blocked the transfer of 300,000 doses of insulin \n-Euroclear stole 1.65 billion worth of funds that were the payment made for food and medicine \n-Citgo can't send profits home more than 10 billion \n-Wells Fargo canceled payment of 7 million from Brazil to Venezuela for electricity \n-Financial transaction 7 million dollars of dialysis blocked \n-Bank of England withholding 1.2 billion in gold \n-Banks won't lend Venezuela money to drill for oil or mine for gold. Yet they are rich in both. \nReport: U.S. Sanctions Have Killed 40,000 in Venezuela Since 2017. That was pre-pandemic. They have not returned to study the deaths he caused by blocking oil tankers, food, and medicine during a global pandemic.

Let's go brandon??? we're lead to believe this is all accidental, coincidentally trumps talking about fixing it?this was all a ruse and a set up, someone comes and trashes the country while someone else promises to fix it, even dems will support Trump if this gets bad enough

they will know the truth as they are dragged into the fire tarred and feathered in hard armour by Allah's angels that the demon had-had played on their whims and falacies that lead them to a billion-trillion year fire of which each day would have to be a thousand earth years long

Solution…fields of land mines leading up to automatic M60’s with motion sensors then right into miles and miles of fenced in wild predators to finish off any that makes it thru. Survive the gauntlet and you win your freedom and right to live in New York or California ?

That’s called an invasion for everyone that is still in a coma. Every Democracy falls to Socialism which leads to Totalitarianism. America is a Constitutional Republic and it’s on the verge of crumbling because the Democrats are making the borders defenseless.

DID EXODUS POP UP IN ANYONE ELSE'S SPIRIT TOO? REMINDS ME OF MOSES LEADING ISRAEL OUT OF EGYPT, ACROSS THE JORDAN.

You put some of them down the rest will turn around and run. If they don't, keep launching lead.

Remove all democrats. They’re allowing this to take place, with no solution to the matter. And WE have to live beside these people, many who are unknown, and backgrounds are skewed. Treasonous and inept government, lead by the walking dead, Brandon! ?‍♂️

Sling some lead bet shit will calm down

This is a humanitarian disaster, their tactic is to swarm. Unless we are willing to open fire (which we would not do) they will not stop. Call in the national guard and the US Army Engineers Corps. We must build a barrier that will stop this. We must also fix the intervention policies that leads to this. No one would want to leave their homes if they had the ability to make a living there.

They are only leading themselves to the United States' own demise

Start spraying them with some lead! We have enough of these scumbags!

If pepper spray does not work, send lead. A few of the leaders with holes in their heads will change the situation

Hmmm... There's is no need for ARs? I disagree. And they aren't taking care of their own citizens... especially those who have fought for and defended the country? There is no justification. This government is broken and corrupt. Time for change. Come legally and with respect or taste lead!

Payback for messing with other countries politics and financing cartels, terrorist and misery (socialist/populist parties). But don't worry, the real treat for your nation is the woke liberal youth that's gonna lead the US to a socialist dystopia. \n\nEvery empire reaches their peak and inevitably start falling apart real quick. Seems like it's time for the Yankees to fall and the Chinese to takeover...

I will never go to Canada again…. I knew something was wrong when I was there….hey black peoples…..let’s boycott Canada…I’ll lead the way

President Biden leads to send all those immigration back

This is an invasion of America and it will lead to the fall of our nation at the hands of the democrats.

Gotta vote blue for the American Dream,what a nightmare,so America you voted the scum that leads this use to be country's STHU,and rep you vote morons.

Only UNeducated simpletons are bigots. WE all are one race a HUMAN race skin color makes no diff to me. Teach yo bros to stop kilin each other and pushin drugs and blacks will get Respect eventualy ,lead by example

Start throwin lead i bet they turn around

the military down there treated like an invasion into the country and let the River Run Red they'll get the message nothing says you're not welcome here like hot lead going down rain that's how you fix that problem after that or build a dam Canal from California to Texas Gulf of Mexico 40 Mi deep 20 mi wide with one Bridge a drawbridge that goes up we can build new shipping ports brand new refinery have a coast guard and the Navy base along with the Border Patrol and their and the u.s. cargo ships don't have to go all way down to South America between saltwater crocodiles in the lemon shark that'll take care of the whole thing watching for us and the water going down to Mexico from the US can stay in the US build a new power down interrogate the Southwest and that'll take care of the water problem so how about that that fix the whole damn situation and then you can start by getting that dumbass out of the White House I see that wasn't really all that hard then second quit giving foreign aid to countries that hate us build America by America and start making America first start with families coming back together and then from there make the community and the communities make the country man united like we did back in the days of WWII because that's what it's going to take dust off the the Bible and get back to work

Send them back with guns. Countries that don’t allow guns rights leads to oppression and tyranny.

Start slinging lead. They'll turn around.

These Venezuelans fleeing communism to America will be used by Democrats and Deep state to further policies leading to communism here.

bruh build Mexico and fight for Mexico not the United States because yall literally can't. the opportunity for real leadership is where yall are already at. it's too late here in the U.S you'll just be joining the rat race. the cartel ain't big enough to win if you all fought back and sometimes you got to fight fire with fire. these people clearly need leadership and someone with a voice to give them courage otherwise this will get worse and lead to nothing but death, deprivation, illness, and just sheer disaster

Time to start using little pieces of lead to stop these invaders

CNN is such crap... Criminal News Network line with this regime. No leadership , no competence. When the blind lead the blind, they both end up in a ditch.

Im sure the sound of lead hitting at their feet would back them off a bit. But that seems too harsh in the pussy filled world. Try that in other countries and see what happens. America is doomed

Keep that shit out a here it leads to nothing good! None of em actually are willing to actually earn money in any legal working way just sell f drugs & Master benefits! & we r paying for that shit & needs to stop!
