Canada's economy is a bubble burst but not discussed. When more than 80% of ur salary goes in Mortgage payments, the nation is falling apart

Great video and hits a lot of real pain points\n\nI for one am leaving Canada, born and raised in Alberta, lived in BC most of my adult life. Sorry but see ya!\n\n1 I am tired of the weather -40 is a no no and most of our country hits it a few times a year. 52 years and this is my LAST winter. What a Relief!!\n2 I am tired of the MASSIVE greed in real estate that has been allowed to flourish. No way most of Gen Z will ever be able to own homes, if the are lucky they will get one passed down to them, shame you have to wait for a family member to DIE to own your own home :( Benchmark prices for home in Victoria 1.2 million, Vancouver 1.18 million, Kelowna 1 million. Very few people can afford a 6k+ a month mortgage. Shame on our govts that allowed this to happen.\n3 I am tired of the degradation of the family unit. Western morals have gone for crap, crime is up and people are happy to threaten each other. \n4 I am tired of the lack of available health care. All i can get is a 3 minute phone call after booking 4 weeks in advance??? wow \n5 I am tired of the people too, but in different ways. Way too much like USA now, people that pride themselves for ignorance, willfully ignoring science and safety or even common sense.\n6 I am tired of the governments, provincial and federal. ALL of the parties suck and will not do what is needed here. We are getting as bad as the USA. (which will soon tear itself apart!!)\n\nCanadians are a LOT more xenophobic than we might show. Most of us from the prairies (Boomers/GenX) never saw anything but seas of white people and native Americans. You probably never saw a foreigner maybe you knew someone that did... This is not the same country i grew up in. Good or bad I do not know, but it is way different!\n\nGrowth and thinking Growth will make a country flourish is a lie, and it destroys country after country. Canada is next. It populace will continue to grow with no room, no jobs, no hope.

I am living in Canada and leaving next year it used to be a safe country but now it all changed

As someone who lives in Canada, I can confirm that this country is falling apart. A combo of idiotic government and policies have brought this country down.

Homeless capital of Canada is Vancouver

Bruh, like Canada isn’t bale bale already ?

TLDR; I am an person from a wartorn, oppressive country, and I unfortunately do not have many options to choose from other than Canada to have a chance for a better life.\n\nLet me tell you from the perspective of a person whose dream is to come to Canada: I know all this already, I know things are going terribly and the cost of living has gone up significantly. But the unfortunate thing is, the country I am from, is currently in turmoil. I do not fit in there as a person and hate the culture. Its incredibly corrupt with no growth. I am more western, and open minded, and my original country is a strict Islamic country. I do not fit there at all.\n\nI know Canada has all these problems, but its my only choice for a better future, I dont want to go to US because I dont wanna die, also, EU wont accept me unless I am from EU myself or speak their language which is a catch 22. Australia is also becoming a shithole. That leaves Canada and NZ. NZ doesnt have that good of job prospects and limited scope and I love Canada, always have. The weather and everything that comes with it.\n\nYes its not perfect, but I think its more about knowing that I can go back to a place, that is not dangerous for me and my future family, where I will get good care if I am stable job wise. Once I am in Canada, I will probably buy my own land and use that to have a trailer home there since they are still cheap, save my money, and probably retire in Philippines. \n\nI dont believe everyone else should do that and yes I know trailer's costs depreciates with time, unlike a house, but I dont care about that. I dont think of houses as investment and I never will nor I will participate in that practice. Everyone has a right for home.

Trudeau created the problem by increasing the population from 35 to 41 million between 2015 and 2023. This created a lack of housing, a lack of doctors and a divided GDP. Trudeau broke Canada maybe forever

Toronto has changed and not for the better.? Canada has changed and not for the better.

I moved here 16 years a go (6 years in Calagary + 10 years in Toronto). I've witnessed the high and low of Canada, about 6 years ago, I already started seeing the dwindling quality of life. Limited job opportunities/security, deteriorating health care and public safety, skyrocketing rent/cost of living, and people are becoming less tolerant/welcoming. Of course the pandemic made it worse, and it exposed the social ills in the country. Still better than a developing country, but definitely not Canada I used to know and experience.

Qubec is shutting rhe doir ro all English speaking doctors, only few doctors in the world speak Ftench and if at all they xome to Canada

Is this Canada which founded by White people or is this India or a Midddle eastern country? lol

What a great video. For my personal experience the current recession and how it has affected the job market and the interest rates (inflation) is the root cause of all this. I also came as student BEFORE COVID and it was also hard to study and work to keep up with your basic expenses BUT at least there were jobs. Now the problem is the lack of jobs. Criminality is very relative and as you mentioned depends of your own expectation and environment prior arriving to Canada. The homeless and drug adicts problem is really concerning, specially here in Vancouver where I live. What I do is avoiding the downtown as much as I can. I would not mind to live in a smaller city or town as long as the salaries are good enough however the problem is that the living cost there are as high as here in the cities.

When they say “Canada wants immigration”, what do they mean? This is not “Canada” wants, it is Canadian ruling class wants. There was no popular vote nor referendum about this, Trudeau and Freeland did not ask Canadians if they want more immigrant.

I left B.C and Canada, very disgusted about its POLITICALL CORRECTNESS BS and because I did not wanna life and pay such high taxes as an Employer, for such distrustfull Government.

Canada is just another Indian state. Yes, Canada is just another indian state. Not a typo.

I ruled out Canada for relocation long ago!

Thank you so much for this explanatory video. For someone travelling to canada for professional exam, what category do one select under the visit visa, is it tourist or business or compassionate?

This guy is spreading misinformation about Canada, we have a free health care here. Why the hell you said our health care cost more than in Europe? Can you explain.

I know many Indians who have come back from Canada because the ROI is not worth it anymore.

Liberals, NDP, and their woke left-wing friends treat Canadians poorly, and they disrespect Canadians. No matter how those woke lefties try to find excuses for their masters, i will not trust them. Voting Pierre for PM and Conservatives is the only way to save Canada now

Don’t listen to this alt-right propaganda. Canada is a great place to live. Like most nations we are struggling with our post COVID economic recovery. Health care and education are threatened and housing is growing more expensive. We are still struggling with something if a class war, woth boomers and the wealthy class mostly hoarding wealth and working very hard to avoid paying taxes. Meanwhile lower wage earners struggle with affordability. We have big issues work on, mainly by changing our policies from those that favour the rich to those that work for working class people. Don’t buy the right wing propaganda.

in layman's term Canada is the poorest in the richest countries?

Europeans occpuied canada 200 years back now its time for ukranians and Indian subcontinent people.

I'm just glad I dropped my Canada Immigration plan\n\nI was 100 percent sure 2-4 years about moving to Canada for a masters and a job

If you plan on coming to Canada, don't or at least don't vote any left wing parties. If you're leaving Canada, don't vote for any of the left wing parties wherever you're going.

I find it quite funny international students complaining , then dont come to Canada lol

In what countries you don't have to worry about a job and an income? Is either these people are delusional or Canada have an outstanding pr team.

Trudeau is destroying Canada with radical immigration, wokism and reckless environmental policy. So yeah, I have left.

So Canada wants immigrants (presumably as workers) with no provision to pay them. Isn't that slavery?\n\nIf Canadas birth rate is falling, there shouldn't be any homeless, right. Fewer to house means more housing relatively speaking.\n\nMichael Moore eat your heart out.

I’ve been angry and pessimistic about how Canada, and my province Quebec are run since the early 00’s. It has gotten worse every year since then.

I could understand why Cubans might want to come to Canada to be closer to a Castro.

Kuch bhi mat bola karo labour job mein kon two and half aur teen hazaar kamata hai Canada mein kuch bhi mat fekaa karo mujeh 30 saal ho gaye hai Canada mein aaj tak mein $ 1000.00 k upar nahi kamaya hai kisi bhi labour jobs mein.

Maybe reason No9 is the main one. Canada, along with other western countries, is turining into an authoritarian state...with bought and corrupted politicians.

I was born in Canada to a Polish immigrant mother. My mothers family came to Canada to escape the tail end of communism and seek better opportunities. I’m 22, I have a degree from a good university and I’m now living with my mother working part time at a liquor store. I was told as a teenager as long as I got a degree I’d have a job and have enough to live on my own. I was lied to. I’m currently working on getting my dual Polish-Canadian citizenship and doing a certification to go teach English in Europe. I can’t have a good life here the way prices are and the stress being in this country brings. There’s homeless encampments everywhere, even in front of my city hall. There’s a couple homeless people who sit outside the store I work at and it’s a heavy reminder I’m one argument with my mother from sitting where they are. I am constantly worried I will become homeless.

What leave Canada? Answer: high taxes, horrible climate, stupid politicians, lack of affordable housing, massive debt, lousy public schooling, and a falling standard of living.

yep Canada is done. a lot of genderless people and genderless washrooms in schools, drugged up people from drug legalization, depressed individuals can now qualify for the recent legalization of assisted suicide, super cold place, jobs doesn't align with standard of living, crime is legalized like theft under $1000, college schooling are the same price as some housing mortgages, no one having kids because can't even afford down payment for housing on 2 incomes, Taxes up to 60%, and Lastly; a new law is being propped up and can send me to prison for life for causing harm if they get depressed and ended themself for seeing this comment. I moved to Canada 15 years ago and yes coming from a third world country, here felt like a downgrade. I am just trying to erase my debt then move back home and restart.

We need to drop immigrants and work on our own people. Hell there are still Reserves that don't even have clean water and there's zero reason from that... But yes immigration is 100% to blame close our borders for ten years or so for a bit ffs.\n\nEDIT: Those security people obviously haven't read the charter where filming in public is legal and fine in Canada. They both speak bad english like fuck off learn it before moving here. This video pissed me off as a veteran this this is what I served for? Fuck Canada.

Canada sucks!! Why would anybody go there??

This is very true. I am an Austrian citizen that tried to immigrate into Canada from 2021-2023, I worked my ass off, working 2 jobs for most of my stay and living as cheaply as possible. I still burned through all my savings and a significant amount of money my family sent me to help out. I had an accident and waited for hours for an ambulance to show up, they transported me to a different city because in this town none of the two hospitals had a fucking X-Ray machine. Then the next morning the hospital in the other city kicked me out again, with a fucked up back, because there were no beds available. Had to call my neighbours to come pick me up again (thank you Tracy, love you) because I couldn't get home anymore. Lost one of my jobs thanks to this and started a different one, couldn't afford live in BC anymore and moved to Winnipeg because I heard live there is cheaper. It is, but not significantly so, but you pay for this by living in terrible conditions. Rent was still high, salary was shit, the public transport system is.... Existent but not reliable and the city is so incredibly dirty. There's garbage everywhere. Between my apartment and the nearest dollar store was one garbage can and that was a 20-30 minute walk, here in Vienna there's garbage cans everywhere and thanks to them the city is cleaner. \n\nAnyways, I gave up on moving to Canada and came home. Still dealing with my fucked up back (though it's getting better thanks to Physio and a good doctor) and the debt I accrued in the last few years. But my apartment costs less than half for the same size, my job earns me significantly more money, my phone plan is better and costs less than half and the food is both much much cheaper and much much better. \n\nI am happy with life now. Thank you Canada for showing me how bad even other parts of the developed world are, I really learned to appreciate Austria while I was away.

I love living in Canada ❤

No future in Canada. Rulers don't care. A country will progress if they bring in lot of investment, bring in quality educated immigrants, they bring in refugees and below quality students waste the money just vote bank politics. No real forecasting leaders. Fun is fighting with two fast growing nation China and India. Not mature enough to do business. Health care gone down. Ridiculous unable to control the the car theft happening in front of their eyes. What a shame.

We all know why of course this is a problem, it's because immigrants rather than fixing the terrible shithole they live in travel across the world to Canada, and assume our system can handle them moving here. 1 STOP MOVING TO VANCOUVER/TORONTO 2 STOP BEING DOCTORS YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN MENTAL HEALTH OR ADDICTION THAT'S WHY THERES SO MANY HOMELESS. BECAUSE OF MORONIC ASAIN DOCTORS.

I think its quite obvious that Trudeau & Singh & Freeland etc ade purposely trying to destroy Canada ??

i dont think you can have a channel aboot canada and avoid politics anymore. This country is in serious trouble and being crushed under an increasingly bloated and gluttonous administrative class staffed by narcissistic psychopaths hell bent on tyranny and utopian visions. \n\nThose of you one the outside... namely america, help us, liberate us please.

Canada is turning into a shit show of a country

Liberals are bringing in migrants from third world nations to lower wages here in Canada and the United States.

In Canada not everyone is treated badly, I’m pure Canadian I know what am speaking about. Instead real Canadians citizens are treated better than any other person

Canada will win, far as values and peace❤.

Canada is only a good country for people coming from war zones or 3rd world like India and Africa... It's still better for them.. For others, Canada is in a free fall
