I am a skilled immigrant, an auditor by profession for 16 years. I climbed up the ladder from a junior auditor to department head before I left for Canada late last year. I've submitted hundreds of job applications to date and I only got a response. I have no choice but to take that job in fastfood restaurant just to make a living. Don't worry, if I still don't get a job aligned to my profession in few months, I will leave. I'm tired..

I used to watch Tyler for on-the-ground curiosity, but the tone has clearly shifted post-2024. Earlier videos observed problems; recent ones assign blame by implication.

Silence isn’t objectivity, it’s an editorial choice.
