Since everyone is an immigrant in immigrant nations, they need to work on immigration and keep up their values as a nation. People exploiting Canada, US or anywhere should be stopped immediately, sorry but immigration should work on that.

as an Immigrant, I'm done immigrating for now but I get taxed net net around 45% + HST + Carbon tax + Property taxes, for all these taxes, I get really not much back. I don't qualify for most services, I don't get dental, I don't need many either, but it is putting a lot of pressure on my entrepreneurship aspirations. The healthcare is truly atrocious and still need to fly for medical appointments by good doctors since doctors here are dumber for some reason. If you want to be an entrepreneur who owns a house, Canada is not your place right now. Worst of all is the culture, highly highly introverted in a bad way, cold people, bad social skills, boring conversations and everyone seems to be high on weed. I am glad you have found something to do as a hobby but if you were in the USA you would have 4X the disposable income (and I think we all would still be complaining).

Canada is a land with great resources, great opportunity and potential, but for a place with so much supposedly smart people they do alot of dumb things. Been here 7 years now and I have seen so many issues that have obvious solutions but because of some weird culture or heritage or whatever they just keep doing the same thing until it hurts them. The real estate market is an absolute MESS and everybody knows. Money laundering, realtors colluding to set prices, blind auctions etc you name it. But they are just gonna keep doing the same thing until the country is in a major recession. Then everybody is going to be crying for bailouts. The health system is a MESS. Trying to find a doctor is like finding a needle in a haystack. They have them driving taxis instead, claiming that their qualifications arent as good. Yet they dont have enough doctors or nurses to support anything. Coworkers whose spouses work in those industries let me know they have to be working ridiculous shifts because there are not enough people. The taxes are ridiculous. I work in I.T. and taxes are like roughly half my salary. Many coworkers have told me all the illegal stuff they do to get around the taxes. Which I don't do because I wasn't raised like that. But people get taxed so much everyone is doing some thing to try to bypass it. And if you dont know the tricks or dont want to do them, you just get screwed. People don't talk about real issues here. There is alot of fake positivity and optimism because they dont want people to get sad and suicidal from the really long and harsh winter. I used to wonder why there were so many train delays until some one explained to me that many people commit suicides in winter by stepping in front of the trains. The only thing propping up this country is the constant influx of immigrant slave labour through the college system, (Like a ponzi scheme). But the immigrants are going to stop coming here if they cant even afford to live at all. Even the regular citizens cant afford it. So what will the country do after that, since there is an elderly population and not enough people to support the industries? Right now most of the immigrants come here and save up there money to go somewhere else or back home after they realize what a shitshow it is. I even have coworkers born and raised in Canada who are telling me they want to leave. Canada needs to stop patting itself on the back for doing stupid apologies and stuff like that, and actually do economically sound things to stop digging themselves into this hole. Great potential for this country but I don't know if it will ever be realized.

every G7 country has a great economy right now, esp the US, ditto China, but Russia's is crippled by an overdependence on oil (when oil prices halved 3 years ago, Russia was F$CKED) and G7 sanctions over the annexation of Crimea. So who wins from a trade war that stalls economic growth world-wide, including the US?\n The US NAFTA negotiator (Trump's man) states on his website that the US has a Trade SURPLUS with Canada overall, and has balanced trade with the EU, so Trump has to remove America's huge Trade Surplus in Services to even pretend current trade isn't fair, SO WHY IS HE DOING IT: THE ONLY BENEFICIARY IS PUTIN! \n PUTIN'S allies, using Russian bots to back anti-immigrant, ultra-nationalist platforms, have taken over Italy and Hungary since he took over the US presidency in '16 (most American's noticed), they almost got France, and have Canada and Germany in their sights.\n Trump announcing he wants Russia back into the G7 had ZERO backing in any branch of the US Govt, the Republican Party, or even his own Whitehouse, ditto his announcement of a Summit with Putin. British Intelligence tried to warn you, but now the fact that EVERYTHING Putin could want of a US President is the only rational that explains EVERYTHING Trump does is noticable to EVERYONE in America, except the obvious dimwits who get their News exclusively from Fox News and Trump's twitter account.
