It’s good to hear some are thinking of leaving to the US. I truly wish for their success. I worked at a college that became a diploma mill in Vancouver and you couldn’t go to the men’s room without seeing 3 or 4 dudes hanging out. Foreign students also take from the food banks enough to have 1st year students now banned and many people no longer donate. I generally have great experiences Indian people, and have travelled India extensively, but if you let in too many of one type the native population will have a hard time and the immigrants themselves won’t integrate and build their own society. Blame the Liberal government.

DO NOT LISTEN TO THESE STUPID AUDITOR. THEY ARE LIARS, JUST ANOTHER VERSION OF SCAMMERS, TRYING TO GAIN AUDIENCE ATTENTION SO THEY CAN EARN A LITTLE BIT OF SMALL COMPENSATION FROM YOUTUBE. THIS INDIVIDUAL HIGHLY EXAGGERATES THE FACTS ABOUT CANADA. \n\nYES, IT IS EXPENSIVE RIGHT NOW, BUT IT’S EXPENSIVE ANYWHERE IN OTHER PRODUCTIVE BIG CITIES AROUND THE WORLD. YOU NEED TO COMPARE MORTGAGE AND RENT IN CANADA WITH OTHER MAJOR CITIES. IF CANADA MAINTAINED LOW PRICES FOR RENT AND MORTGAGE, GUESS WHAT WOULD HAPPEN? EVERYONE IN THE WORLD WOULD WANT TO RELOCATE HERE, AND THE COUNTRY WOULD RUN OUT OF RESOURCES. SO, YOU CAN’T CLAIM CANADA HAS HIGH PRICES WITHOUT COMPARING IT TO OTHER GLOBAL CITIES. \n\nI UNDERSTAND IT’S CHEAPER IN SOME ASIAN COUNTRIES, BUT YOU CANNOT COMPARE THE EAST WITH THE WEST – THEY’RE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STRUCTURES, SYSTEMS, AND WORLDS. IT’S MORE COMPREHENSIBLE AND SUCCESSFUL TO LIVE IN A COUNTRY WHERE YOU CAN COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY. I AM DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED BY THIS INDIVIDUAL AND HIS EXAGGERATED LIES, COMPOSED TO ATTRACT AUDIENCE ATTENTION. DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING YOU HEAR ABOUT CANADA. \n\nCANADA IS A WONDERFUL, POWERFUL COUNTRY WITH STRONG HUMAN RIGHTS. IT WON’T BE EASY AT THE BEGINNING, WHETHER YOU’RE ALONE OR WITH FAMILY TO RELOCATE HERE – IT IS VERY DIFFICULT, AND I CANNOT STRESS THAT ENOUGH. BUT IF YOU PUT IN THE GOOD WORK, DEDICATION, AND WILLINGNESS, YOU WILL SUCCEED AND BUILD A BETTER LIFE IN THE LONG RUN. \n\nOH, CANADA, I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART, AND I HOPE YOU CONTINUE TO EMBRACE VULNERABLE INDIVIDUALS LOOKING FOR A BETTER LIFE. \n\nOH I DO NEED TO MENTION THE BRUTAL WEATHER WE FACE HERE. BUT PEOPLE MUST UNDERSTAND, YOU’RE MOVING FAR NORTH ON THE PLANET. THE WEATHER USED TO BE MUCH WORSE, BUT DUE TO CLIMATE CHANGE, IT’S A BIT WARMER THESE DAYS, WHICH IS SCARY. IF THAT WARMTH CONTINUES, THE REST OF THE WORLD WILL SUFFER FROM MAJOR CLIMATE IMPACTS.

You made some good points. Canada protects everyone’s rights to say and live how they want. It’s refreshing to hear a rationale where people choose to pursue happiness elsewhere. Good luck to your family on your next adventure.

I was born and raised in Canada and in my 60’s now. I can’t afford to live here anymore, healthcare has declined, personal safety, fuel costs, insurance etc. most of all our politics are a mess on all three major parties. The Liberals are a royal mess and inflation went through the roof. They’re just running around like the 3 blind mice making fools of themselves. The Conservatives are involving themselves in a right wing romance with fascist trumpianism and think poutine is an ok guy. The hate speech is unreal. We used to be a real chill country. I have young 20 somethings telling me they think Communism is a great idea and they would rather fight for poutine if a war breaks out. Well it’s their future not mine. The AI, bots and trolls on the internet are telling them what they want to hear in order to stir up hate and entitlement. The NDP (New Democratic Party) is neither here nor there, they’re kind of always the minority and swing both the other two parties to divide the vote and gain some form of temporary power. \nI’d like to see a politician that has the balls to stand up to the dictators of this world that shit disturb in every continent because they are such little insecure bastards that they think they can conquer it. I’ve got news for them. Every single dictator in history has failed… miserably and often brutally. We need the kind of leadership in our Country that can produce good governance. Our GDP is just under $60K. The dictators out there are rubbing their greedy little hands, for if there is ever a 3rd world war, Canada will be the prize. We are loaded with resources. Land mass, water, minerals, oil and gas, technology, geographic strategic stronghold etc. Don’t let it slip into the hands of fascists, communists, dictators or totalitarians they always make it worse so that it takes a lifetime to recover. I’ve spent 40 yrs in the workforce, and listened to countless people from every continent who told me the truth about why they left their homeland. People who survived WW2, the Korean War, Vietnam War, communist China, expansionism of the USSR, the caste system and political persecution in India and Bangladesh. Political unrest in Argentina and Chile. I have personally witnessed systemic racism in the USA and Canada. \nI don’t have anything tying me down to stay here so I will be moving on. I think I’ll just become a nomad tourist for a while.
