I moved to Canada as a child with my parents 41 years ago. It isn't just inflation and cost of living that is the problem. It's the dramatically increasing racism and discrimination, even against people who have been living in this country longer than the racists discriminating against them. Seriously? This is not the Canada that I came to as a child, grew up in, or have lived and worked in for many decades. I made the mistake of working around the world for a short time and picking up an accent that wasn't even mine originally. I had a Canadian accent before finishing elementary school. To come back to be asked to go home or 'we don't want your sort here' is not just simple racism, but hatred that makes me regret ever having agreed to taking on Canadian citizenship. My kids and grandchildren have Canadian accents and were Canadians from birth. But should they leave and return to the same crap??? What disgusts me more is that the PM dares to include immigrants with refugees, under the banner that 30% of the population are immigrants. Under the law, refugees are temporary migrants and usually nothing more. To bundle immigrants who came to Canada through legal means of applications, brought hundreds of millions dollars into Canada with them of their own hard-earned money from their own countries, to have it taxed out of them, and their families deliberately put into poverty so Canada can fulfil its 19th century-PM Macdonald immigration policy of, and I quote from a Canadian federal government website, quoting PM Macdonald directly, about breeding out the Indigeneous people, is beyond sick! The refugees get a free ride at the expense of hard-working Canadians, 90% of whom came from immigrant stock! What happens when Trudeau says these deceitful lies about legal immigrants is that the racism and discrimination increases dramatically. I have been left in agony in hospital due to evil racist Canadians who thought that my accent meant that I had just flown in yesterday and what right did I have to be there? Police refused to charge a neighbor whose son was threatening the life of my grandchild because the neighbor works for the CRA! Other people have the same complaints. Democracy? What democracy, oh, and please spare us Mr. Trudeau the claim to be a constitutional monarchy, when most don't want the monarchy as a head of state for Canada! I have been honored to have known, still know, and will know in the future, many good, hard-working, caring and decent Canadians, but Mr. Trudeau, can you explain to me, how many of those were actually of immigrant stock and how many have forgotten where their families came from? Canada used to be a good country, but when a person has to keep explaining where they got their job experience from and if they have any Canadian experience for every time that they look for a job in their lifetime in Canada, something is very wrong with Canada. Most jobs in Canada are blue collar and very few are white collar, yet Canada still continues to deceive the world into believing otherwise. Canada is a great vast and beautiful land, but only a small percentage of it has any infrastructure, roads, or homes sufficient to house what is a decreasing fraction of society. Refugees take preference over immigrants and citizens alike. The lie about the homeless is getting bigger. Most homeless Canadians today are veterans, elderly, disabled, mentally ill, poor, and professionals and trades people, yet Canada brings in countless professionals, claiming that their education and experience will get them into the professions that they are coming from. It's all a scam! Canadian education is not the best and yet people with better educations and job experience are being forced to spend all their money to go back to university or college to get jobs that they rarely will be hired for. Canada is not short of doctors, just short of professionals who hire professionals without using discrimination, hatred and racism for their HR kit! Many taxi drivers are doctors, engineers, and so on. So, please stop lying to the world and tell the truth. And no doubt this entry will be taken down because it offends a Canadian who doesn't want the world to know the truth.

I’m born and brought up in Canada, from immigrant parents. If I was not married, I would without a doubt LEAVE. This country has been plucked clean. I also actively tell new immigrants that they should consider leaving simply because of how socially and economically unwelcoming the country has become. \n\nYes, it has gotten worse since Trudeau’s Fiberal, err I mean Liberal government took power in 2015, but honestly, it’s Canadian peoples’ fault because they repeatedly voted that virus into power. (Mainly Toronto, Montreal, and Ottawa’s fault!)

Everyone wants to leave Canada- it’s a dystopian nightmare. No freedom, insanely expensive and crime has skyrocketed over the last few years. Trudeau is a commy

Was born and raised in Canada and i am leaving. Too expensive, taxed to death and I hate Trudeau! County has been ruined by the liberal government.

this angers me in a major way ...do i leave my door open and let anyone just walk in no ! why the hell does trudeau let this happen ....there is no negotiation needed ...we are to have guards with rifles at the border and say if you put a foot into our country illegally you will get a bullet

I'm also Canadian and currently looking for an opportunity to leave this country. Trudeau has made this country so miserable.

I’m a Canadian (from an immigrant background) in their early 20s. I’m planning to leave Canada within the next 5 years. The Trudeau government has virtually destroyed this country. Housing, taxes, low productivity, and a broken immigration have absolutely brought this country to its knees.

No, as a Canadian the system is falling apart. Trudeau is importing what he hopes are votes because of how terrible he is. This will not work out well since it is the cities where he has all his voters and it is the cites where the problems will only be. We can't hire workers even paying them more because even qualified immigrants don't want to leave the cities.

as soon as Trudeau leaves things will go back to normal

If you look at the spike in people leaving it's shortly after Trudeau got elected hahahaha, it keeps going up and up, since they rig the voting we can't vote this extremist liberal dictator out, so people are voting with their feet and just leaving.

Torontonian , born and raised. The city is an absolute joke! Rent and housing have doubled , immigration completely overblown with no plans to build housing to accommodate them , car theft has tripled in 3 years and our Police department says “leave your car keys outside so they’ll just take your car and not break in”.\n\nHate this city , thanks Trudeau, Chow & Tory.\n\nGood Video

Just remember that Trudeau has said, on multiple occasions, that claiming the country is broken is unhelpful and that the country isn't broken. I argue that regardless of how you may feel about the Tories their claim that the country is broken is objectively true.\n The first step to addressing a problem is admitting there is one.\nP.S.\n\nThis is why I am leaving Canada.

Noone is leaving Canada. \nRefugees are crossing the border in Montreal as we speak. \nThey know the leader of Canada will give them shelter and a cheque along with free transit and free medical. \nBut the leader Trudeau says we need them. \nUneducated immigrants will not change anything. \nThis is the main reason he's going to lose the election. \nEverything has doubled in price since he came in power BUT he's worth 100million so he doesn't know what it's like to struggle.

Canada is finished. Those you are able to leave you’re lucky. People like me that are stuck in Canada we will eventually end up on the street, doesn’t matter if you have a job now, you will eventually end up on the street. I’m already prepared to take my life when that day comes. Thank you Justin Trudeau.

Living in communism without the benefits that’s what today’s Canada has become. Trudeau has destroyed this nation there no longer democracy or any common sense. if I could leave tomorrow i definitely would. There’s a reason everyone drinks and does drugs in this country.

We had to leave our home Provence because the cost of living is completely inflated 75% of income on rent. Then you have to try and buy food. There are no jobs. Trudeau can’t even keep his wife let alone run a country.

You have got to be kidding me, i would leave Australia & go to Canada, even if you pay me, not while that tyrant crazy Trudeau is there anyway.

As an immigrant myself, but Canadian citizen. This mass migration that Trudeau has embarked on is part of their globalization agenda. The influx of low/non skilled people, that do not carry the same traditional Canadian values, is specifically designed to dilute the existing Canadian culture, and weaken the middle class, only to replace it with the elites globalist control. In the long run, not bringing in skilled workers that can positively impact and grow the economy will be very detrimental in the long run. Also, in speaking with many of these immigrants their allegiances and not with Canada, if you ask them if the are willing to join the armed forces to defend Canada, they say no. Hence, Canada is also importing ideologies that don't intend to integrate into our society. If you want to come to Canada, integrate or leave! There are also enough skilled and non-skilled workers, that are ready and able to work, it is visible - everywhere you go there are more and more homeless and out of work people.

They know what they're doing. None of these people from the middle east (the only ones invited here) will do ANY type of labor. Theyll take all our kids jobs.....so instead of Canadian students working here.....we have uneducated, fake degree frauds serving garbage food to us, and leaving nothing for our kids. Send them back!!! But they wont, there is an alterior motive which makes the government Billions bringing more here. Trudeau should move to India, maybe he'll get a degree in common sense..($1800).

None right now; Trudeau must leave first.

In the 1960s and 70s, my parents and some of their friends left authoritarian Yugoslavia for Canada. Now, some of their children are leaving Canada for the same reason. I personally know at least 10 people who left Canada permanently in the last few years. Thank you Trudeau and the NDP/Liberal Party!

My husband has been here since 3 years of age for over 50 years now, I have been here for over 30 years and we are leaving in the next year. We are both dual nationality Canadians and are going back to the UK. Trudeau has totally destroyed this once beautiful country. We grew up here in the 70's and 80's, they were the good old days, that Canada is now gone for good!

Yeah it's not just immigrants it's also born here Canadians. We are tired of the state of country, our lack of freedom and democracy, our failing healthcare and healthcare facilities, laughable education system, lack of infrastructure for new comers and Canadians alike. No party in Canada, neither Liberal, Conservative, NDP and Green, no one really represents Canadians and really listens to the public. We learned there is NO future here for us or our family. We're done with a country that I pay taxes too, believed in, it's not my fault that I have to leave, it's CANADA and decades of bad policies, investing in wars instead of our home and people. Trudeau spent more time demonizing anti-vaxxers and truckers and funding Ukraine rather then helping starving Palestinians and Congolese people, families struggling here locally to feed their family, kids are who aren't getting a proper education, elderly unable to pay for their medicine or food. We are all suffering because no one in our govt wants to actually help our country get back on track. So our govt is essentially pushing us OUT. We don't want to leave, we have no choice.

People are leaving because the country is not what it once was before Trudeau got in.. the country is a scam and run by Mafia

Iam Canadian and i want to leave...our government is a joke. TRUDEAU MUST GO

Justin Trudeau has painted a false\nPicture, a false narrative of a better life in Canada for people leaving their impoverished lives in their country of origin.\nIf you can find housing, expect to pay extremely high prices, which will negatively affect your ability to pay for food, medicine, electric power, water, and internet costs of living.\nBe prepared to work 2 or 3 part-time jobs because unless you have an advanced university degree and skill set in a needed field, that will be your reality in Canada.

Right now is probably the worst time to come here. With global recession and post-pandemic hardship, everyone is feeling the pinch. Small businesses are closing down as they could not repay back the relief loans given by the government during the pandemic. Trudeau’s policy of immigration through the educational stream and admitting so many refugees from Syria and Ukraine have caused massive rent increase - too many people chasing after lower real estate supply. Because people are feeling the pinch, crimes are up and homelessness has become a serious issue. But, here are the (long-term) advantages of living here, vs. The Philippines:\n- free healthcare - no matter how rich you are back home, wealth can be depleted if a major illness strikes;\n- free education for your kids up to highschool and opportunity for your kids to enter worldclass universities after highschool;\n- government programs that actually work - Worker rights are upheld, doleouts when you lose your job, 12-month mat/paternity leave, doleout/govt match when you save for yr kid’s university educ, tax rebates for whatever you save for retirement, retirement income even if you never held a job, infrastructures are maintained, transparency and stability of political system; \n- safer environment - yes, greater crimes lately, but still one of the safest places to live. I live in greater Toronto, and sometimes we forget to lock our door at night or leave a bicycle outside and nothing happens;\n- commitment to the environment - the country adheres to protecting the envt. You can drink water from the faucet. Strict laws on recycling and waste disposal. Greenbelt protection on forest and conservation park areas, even in the cities. Canada also has the world’s biggest water supply...in today’s global climate change, were decades away from water wars;\n- a beautiful country with friendly, humble and relaxed people who observe work-life balance

We have so many immigrants leaving. Trudeau is socialist and dictator making everything overprice. We have plenty of resources, but the Government hates the people and want to bring true socialism to people. They dont want us to own cars and houses. The UK people must fight for their freedom too.

I'm leaving Canada, I'm tired of rain, snow, cost of living, high inflation and Trudeau. ?☀️??️??

As a natural born Canadian, it's turned into a corrupted shit show, and I too plan to leave. Not only is Trudeau and liberals corrupt, but the cost of living and stagnant wages is rediculous. This government has opened excessive immigration since 2016, and its hurt this country. Do not move to Canada.

Canada was a great country. Now it is approaching shithole country and people are leaving, including recent immigrants. Get rid of the super woke cheer leader Trudeau and get somebody who doesn’t want to be loved by anybody who might be a bit different and actually want to take on the big issues!

I want to leave. It’s all Indians, crime, liberals and overpriced everything. Trudeau totally destroyed this place.

Plan to leaving this country, 99% immigration from third world countries and not well educated peoples from Third world countries completely illiterate, fake marriage, fake Lmia , Fake student, Fake contract marriage, Justin Trudeau and His father both are son of b**** they almost destroyed Canada

As PM Justin Trudeau and Liberal Party keep dishing out money the more cost of living will keep going up. We grew to fast with not enough support and now we are trying to catch up. So, I don't blame for anyone leaving Canada.

I encourage trudeau voters to leave.

He's full of crap and makes me sick, no one likes you Resign, smoke screen, nothing to do with international students, has everything to do with his record immigrants he's let in that take priority housing over Canadian homeless, 2.5 million and still going, tens of thousands Ukrainians in the next month, why aren't they living on the street? Hmmm! Maybe because they're housed long before getting here, Trudeau is a disease and needs to LEAVE NOW! No one wants u in office and u alone are destroying any chance liberals have to get in

Trudeau, has evicted Canadians out of Canada. it's funny, because those who voted for him are now leaving Canada

Why are NONE of the major news outlets covering the Federal Courts' ruling that the Emergency Act was unconstitutional and illegal???????????? Was it because all of its 'journalists' were calling for more stringent action by the Federal government? Is it because they get a 1/3 of their income from Trudeau's pork barrel aka taxpayer money????? Why did Trudeau leave it up to his number one goon Chrystia Freeland to stutter a response??? Of course they will appeal because if they didn't, there are hundreds of citizens who are going to be suing for having their personal and business bank accounts frozen by this woman.

There's a video rite below this one I'm watching about the reasons they're leaving Canada I think I'll leave Canada and move to Israel. Because Bengerman Netanyaho is a better prime minister than Justin Trudeau I think I'll join the IDF.

Trudeau has systematically destroyed every aspect of Canadian life over the past 8 years. I feel badly for immigrants that have come here to make a better life, being very disappointed with the reality of life in Canada with its high inflation, high taxes, high crime rates, a compromised judicial system and poor healthcare. Many of us that were born and raised here are also looking to leave. It's shocking how far this country has fallen in 8 years and there's no sign that this government will change course anytime soon.

The students from India most of them on visa fraud. I live in Edmonton rentals price has doubled cars , groceries, traffic is crazy beside it looks like we live in Delhi that’s why Trudeau must leave

Yes, I am leaving after 50 years being a citizen and tax payer in Canada. Trudeau is a dictator and it will take generations to fix what he has ruined. He destroyed my family and wrecking my industry. Trudeau has committed HIGH TREASON, report on that CBC and legacy media. What is the penalty for this kind of traitor? I have earned my permanent resident visa in Mexico and I take full advantage of the AWESOME private inexpensive medical system with instant service by extremely qualified professionals with fast modern labs and equipment. YOU SUCK TRUDEAU - you need to be arrested and charged NOW.

Highest number if people leaving Canada in 76 years: on 2016, 1965 & 1967 . Common denominator trudeau 101 and trudeau 102 in office. There you go mistery solved.

I'm only halfway through but feel I need to comment and well I'm not exactly a new Canadian. But I was born the but grew up in New Zealand. And well why not . I moved over there in 2014 with full rights as a citizen. My trade wasn't recognised. Canada has its own rules about everything. You need to have training to pour drinks in a bar wtf.! But yea I came wanting a better life and well thankfully I wound up in Calgary so eventually I had the money to leave. And come home where know having seen the Canadian shit show I'm killing it here. It saddens me and yes I was that asshole that got trudeau on there cos I seen one rousing speech where he invoked his dad Pierre. And I fell for it. And not to lie I look old Canadian so I fit right in English is my first language and all that. And funnily enough it was the first time in my life where I could say fucking immigrants. It's a brutal place a brutal work climate and well there's a lot that's nice but when it's bad it's dog ear dog. I feel really sad about what's happening, all the mass illegal immigration and yet your a criminal for noticing it. A lot is very wrong, don't get me wrong nz is doing all the same shit too. I went to Canada for prosperity and to change my life lesson I learnt was go home ans do better and that's fucked.

Why I'm leaving Canada 1. Trudeau 2. Trudeau 3. Trudeau 4. Trudeau 5. Trudeau

Justin Trudeau is the number one reason people are leaving in Canada.

Don't people leave Canada because it is a bloody dictatorship under the yoke of tyrant Trudeau and his corrupt cronies? If someone misses Castro, why not go for the original in Cuba, why settle for his junkie son?

Trudeau is a good reason to leave that pig destroyed Canada

the only reason you need to leave Canada - Trudeau

The reason why canada is expensive to live or make a life and living is because of our narcissist of a prime minister Trudeau his popularity has plummeted downwards while perrier poilievre has jumped in popularity so its no joke that people r leaving canada cuz of housing costs, power tripping which includes that news reporter incident
