You are right. My wife is from Ontario born and raised, married me (an American) and we have watched Canada be destroyed under Trudeau. Do yourself a favor and get rid of the bum somehow.
@@crediblehulk420 he has the Conservatives and the bloq against him. And right now as we speak there is a revult happening in his own party. So far 30 liberal mps have signed a it's time for you to resign letter. Before October is over there will will either be a non confidence motion that passes. Or the liberals will prorogue parliament. He can't prorogue based June . But the average is 22 days. So when prorogation is over there will be a non confidence vote. He won't make it passed that one. It's over for him. It's all just exactly when.
I remember about 20 years ago seeing an ad for a job in the provincial government in NS. It basically said any bipedal creature except a white male can apply. This stuff has been going on for a long time.
What are the principal sovereign rights of all countries? Here are just three or four of them - one is to create your own money or control the creation of it. One is to control the range of your domestic interest rates. Another is to set your own trade and tariff policy. And the other is to protect your natural resource base for the benefit of your young and future citizens. In Canada, we gave away the right to create our money to the private banks when we signed onto the Bank for International Settlements. We can always take it back if we can get the people to sense what’s happening.
We gave away the right to handle our own tariff and trade policy in the Free Trade Agreement and the NAFTA. We gave away the right to set our own exchange rate policy in those same agreements. And when we dismantled the National Energy Policy and FIRA [Federal Investment Review Agency], we gave away the right to protect our own resources for our future children.
You are not the only one that feels this way. I finally feel like a minority. I hop on transit and my skin color stands out. HAH. It's hard to think about it sometimes. The fact that my job that I went back to school for is now shipped overseas. And then the local jobs that are available are also given to new immigrants because the government gives tons of incentives to hire new immigrants and new minorities. Notice the "new". Our social programs are unfair. I don't even want to mention about refugees, our media hides too many cases and when things are released it's been more than half a decade or so. I can't do anything. I can b*tch about things but there's nothing I can do to myself that will better the society really. I am sick of what Canada is now.
TAX TAX TAX TAX TAX That's whats wrong with Canada. Thank Justin Trudeau, the Liberals, Jagmeet Singh and the NDPs. Thank the voters who voted for Justin Trudeau in three elections.
It can be repaired. Its okay. It’s unlikely to be though. This is also happening in the uk but honestly, i’m glad im not in canada. I don’t like the uk but canada is just too much. Insane costs, worse weather, people aren’t social and the cost. Having said that 10 years ago, it looked really nice. Makes no sense for such a place to be so expensive. The nature is really nice in canada compared to the uk. Rent is high yet you have nothing but land. The problem is as simple as political corruption at the moment. But soon, the damage will become long lasting. Also, i am not aware of any high tax country which isn’t corrupt. You don’t get anywhere near in return what you pay for. And tax is included in areas that aren’t stated. Want to know why the same product costs 4x more in one place compared to another. I don’t mean a variant, i mean identical product. Tax is a part of that even if it doesn’t appear on paperwork. Same as rent. Supply is restricted via corruption, immigration is increased to get a quick buck and increase demand, increase property values…
It is messed up man. I am 35, can’t find a job because my 2 year contract ended. Applied to over 200 jobs since February. On top of this struggle a house is way overpriced. Then you are taxed to death…what kind of corrupt / failed system is this…
"No more jobs" - there is no private property right in Canada. I was able to leave after being there for one year. Your government is too powerful and too big... they can afford to print money and leave as they want. There is no more "middle class". The biggest delusion is that a new political party will fix the problem. Why do they need to?
I feel the same way as you! There is a lack of essential things like affordable housing and employment opportunities. The Trudeau government has done a lot of harm to Canadians and serious immigrants who have invested their lives here in a well-structured immigration project.
CANADA - is poor country, which high costs. You guys young - move to warm weather, less work hours, balance work life, spending more time with your family.
It’s even worse in the US. Private elementary school is $20,000 a year. Child care is $4,000 per month. University is $40,000 a year. Health insurance is over $1,000 a month if you don’t get it through your job. Even with insurance, you still potentially pay thousands per visit. It getting unaffordable everywhere.
I can feel you brother. I did my masters here in 2018 and left and move back here recently. For now, not regretting coming back to Canada but this place changed a lot (not in a good way). The good thing is entire world, more or less facing the same situation. Hoping Canada recover from it.
That's what I was thinking.Canada alone is not at the loss,everywhere the situation is same. Tbh I work at two restaurants,and both are going in a bit of loss,one is at 20,000CAD loss this year as compared to previous year,the other one just got a bit slower,we are not even getting our pays on time due to this,I guess the situation is bad but it is everywhere.
I am an IT contractor working using my corporation. I was hoping to find the next contract after finishing the last one in May 2023. I found one miraculously 8 months after, no EI, I was using my that type of contract. I applied to more than 600 hundred jobs. I saw linkedIn, stopping from publishing number of applications per job posting. I saw 2000 after a couple of weeks. And I even had an interview, and the HR told me they received around 600 applications. Living out of my line of credit, still owing money. Absolutely, Trudeau has to go inmediately. My friends and colleagues felt the same they have been feeling it, of course not as bad as in my type of work
I'm Canadian and I have a well-paying job, because it's a US company. My wife's paycheck is fucking joke, but together we make a reasonable income. And I'm barely paying the CC and the line of credit. I don't own a house yet too. Having a dinner outside became a luxury. Idk wtf happened here.
We voted in someone who had fabulous hair, promised to legalize weed and was the darling of the mainstream media. We are in this situation because of air heads, pot heads and sheeple. We treated democracy like a spectator sport. That's what happened here.
The problem with trudeau is he donated money to the Ukraine like an idiot and not helping canadians as u know freeland deputy prime is ukrainian they dont care about us
No..... They need to build build build, build houses, build infrastructure, more jobs, more work.... The problem is that we are bringing all these people in and sleeeeping...
Everyone is saying this regardless of the country. Look at the UK, Ireland, France, Australia, Japan, and the US, which have the exact same issues. We gotta stop letting billionaires create monopolies.
The UK is equally as messed up. Life is totally miserable here with an awful cost of living crisis with no jobs. Not to mention crappy weather all year round and a sense of just surviving every day. I'd love to move away but it sounds like its the same everywhere
Thank you for speaking my mind. I have a very similar background and am currently in a similar situation. I am seeking for WHERE to escape from this unrecognizable place that I once felt proud to call home. I used to proudly say "I am Canadian", last time I had a chance to say that was visiting New Zealand in 2020, but now, I feel like I’ll just say I’m from Calgary, Alberta, and leave it at that. By the way, I agree with your opinion on the province of Saskatchewan, maybe it is the first step to take...
Places are experiencing inflation around the world but not as bad a Canada. After a decade of living in Canada, and travelling to a few developing countries I see the difference. In developing countries its still possible to make money if you can't find your main job. Most of my developing country friends are building empires(big businesses) and hiring large teams or having profitable side hustles. We Canadians don't even know how much we are getting robbed. Really makes a big difference to travel to a undeveloped country to see difference in quality of life, and sometimes even better infrastructure.
It is everywhere. I am in Sydney. My wife and I earn combine income of AU$280k per year (pretax). We live in an area 45kms from Sydney CBD. It is so far, i cant even remember the last time i saw the harbour. And if i become unemployed, i need to find job within a month, or ill be in deep trouble. We bought our house before covid for 900k, with savings of 200k. Similar house, same location will cost at least $1.5mil now. I fear for my children.😢
I did two masters (Engineering and MBA) in Canada and left in the 90s. I have a CPA and came back in 2021 because of family. The government squeeze entrepreurs out and a few companies control the country. I know what has happened. This not new. I started seeing these problems when doing my engineering master thesis. The government exported industry. Can't blame China as Canada (Northern Telecon) was exporting telecom manufacting in the late 80s....I interview for the jobs.
your not the only one I've been looking for a job for over a year now, I live in Ontario have my whole life never seen it this bad ever, still have one child at home single father life is really getting terriabl
You are not. My wife and I moved to Surrey, BC Canada in 2015. We decided we could not afford it there, eventually moved to Calgary, AB in 2022 but finally realized that there was something wrong with Canada itself and started preparing our move back to the Philippines. We've been back home for almost 2 years now and we've been enjoying it so far. We still have hope for Canada but we'll stick it out here in the tropics for now. I'm thinking maybe some time around 2027 or beyond. PS. We were earning $150k CAD combined.
Philippines is great for top 5 to 10% of households. Otherwise, no. Corruption is everywhere. I'm sure you are aware the actions of PNP over the last decade. And, the education system is broken, high rates of teacher absenteeism, the learning outcomes are very poor. If all are to have good lives then much has to change.
Belgium similar, I left. I left 20-30 years mortgage for a studio whilst losing myself in an office job. I made a 6 months plan, moved abroad and bought a property in cash. The dream of home ownership is no longer possible for average, single people, young or old. Living the Flemish dream of owning property and upgrading but in another country.
I immigrated to Canada back in 1996. Left in 2009 for Australia for a job due to the financial crisis. Returned in 2019 just before covid. Now I want to leave again. Canada is definitely much worse today than when I first immigrated back in the 90's. But it's more than just economics. Major parts of Canada have conditions much worse than some 3rd world countries. And I KNOW 3rd world countries. I am well-traveled and I have seen and experienced a lot including 3rd World countries. I hope future leaders of this country can do a complete 180 and pivot the direction of this country to progress and prosperity. Time will tell. But I am planning to possibly leave one day if this doesn't happen.
I live in a 3rd world country and I'm not sure if you can compare canada's conditions with a 3rd world country... Canada is not the best, but is definitely better
@@TheMotArt Im from a 3rd world country. The quality of life isn't that different where Im from Philippines. Filipinos live hand to mouth and Canadians also live hand to mouth. Canada has a better infrastructure for sure but yeah quality of life is not much different. At least Filipinos are friendlier and less likely to get offended.
@@Moomai95 Good points, I'm from Mexico so I can agree with the friendly and outgoing part. But still, I can see that Canada is on a better place than a 3rd world country, less trash, more planned cities, less wealth inequality.
Financialization of Canada's housing market is to blame. People were treating buying houses like buying stocks on the stock market and the government just sat back and let it happen. Now the Canadian government is finally realizing it's totally screwed the economy, but it's too late to fix. I think it's a binary outcome now of a huge housing collapse or a permanent shift to a feudal-like system where the only landowners will be people whose parents owned homes.
My parents still do not understand how bad it is. I make nearly 6 figures, have good credit with no substantial debt and was told 7 months ago that to buy a home in a submarket ( NS) that I would need to make 7,500/mo to qualify for a 250k loan ( an amount that would not buy you anything) meanwhile I pay higher rent than I would be paying for the average mortgage.
This country will never return to its past -as flawed as it was. I am realist and that is the truth. Canada has abandoned its' Christian roots and so, this is what you get. The Christian Church is so weak and irrelevant in this country and hence its no longer "the conscience of society". I am seriously looking to a red western state for my wife and myself to live as free people; I would suggest the same!
I got lucky. My parents bought our house in Toronto for 300k. It's now worth 1.3m. I also just started at UofT which is only 30~40 minutes away, so I commute. Unless something changes soon, I'll probably leave Canada (or Toronto at least) as soon as I graduate. It would be nice if I could afford a home here one day, but I don't expect that will happen.
Find a similar size city in USA, you find the same problems. Find a similar size city in Australia, you find the same problem, find a similar size city in Germany or France, you find the same problems. Go to the USA, USA right wing citizens are saying Americans are treated last, go to Australia, the same thing is said. I worked outside of Canada in a caribbean country for 8 years, my income there was enough to save a bit. Back in Canaada now, Canada is paradise compared to 95% of the world.
I thought the price in US is bad for everything. I live only 30min from Canada border and 1hr from Montreal. I go to Montreal once a month to buy groceries. The price is very cheap compared to US. Example, beef bone in Canada is only $0.39lb (CAN), here is in the $4.00lb USD (and the beef bone is import from Canada). About everything is cheaper in Canada. The only downside is I can bring fruit or vegetable back into US. I made over $100k yr, but can’t afford live in the rural areas of US 😢. I glad, I live close to Canada to get cheaper foods.
You're not the only one. This place is a shithole. The last 10-15 years have become completely unaffordable in Toronto, ON. There's absolutely no reason to be here anymore other than friends/family ties. It's very depressing, and I think many of us, established or not should consider leaving the province or living abroad 6 months of the year.
Sir, you are so on the mark with everything you said! I am a senior immigrant from Germany; and would love to leave Canada, but where would I go at this point in my life. The entire world is falling apart BIG TIME!
Man it really feels like the only profitable business in North America is the upsell of "making it". I tapped out of United States in 2019, just how are people meant to do this without getting psychotic?
@@yoeight I don't come from a sh*thole country and I have an EU passport...my quality of life is now way better than in Canada. Life in this overpriced giant freezer is not worth it.
@@carocarochan I don't know about that. At least I hope you don't come from Martinique, where people are rioting because life is too expensive. Guadeloupe isn't better. I'm glad you are feeling better, but let's not kid ourselves France is any better position.
Same here in NZ, Tax on top of tax, 100k a year is no longer 100k after all the tax, lucky if I can keep half, and people let the government take money out of their hands.
You are very much not alone, people need to wake up and think before they vote for someone and his party who don't give a single solitary F about anyone but themselves. We need to take a stand and tell them to stop spending our money indiscriminately and then taxing us into oblivion to pay for it.
Being in your 30s man/woman with a spouse with/without kids; life is extremely tough. You're climbing a ladder made out of matchsticks. That's what it feels like. It'll crumble anytime.
It's not recently that it's become "So Bad". Costs have crept up as corporations leverage for themselves the profits they deem appropriate... But I can't leverage for myself better wages. I live in Manitoba, and it was easier than Toronto or Vancouver or Calgary etc. But it was always just getting by... By 40 years old my parents had paid off their mortgage early and could pursue other dreams... I was 50 Just before COVID and Still couldn't get out from under my mortgage. Amortized over a 30 year term so that I could afford the monthly payment. And now, we'll lose the house soon. Costs have ballooned too much. It was not Okay 5 years ago. It wasn't okay 10 years ago. I saw it starting to happen 20 years ago... But my hyper vigilant personality always sees things earlier than most... Now the storm is here in full force... And the Normalz can't ignore it any longer... Welcome to reality... It's Nice to finally have company.
I see the current course of the US economy and as a Canadian I envy the rate those guys are going at. There are tons of chances for things to be turned around but here in Canada...............hohoho. We are on track of entering into a DEPRESSION. Let's start with the housing market which is our worst bubble. 40% of Canada GDP comes from housing, they rely heavily on housing much more than the US. We stopped building houses at a decent rate since the mid 90s. Since then our population has jumped to 40 million due to mass migration. The Housing to person ratio is such at a dystopian ratio that major private investors oversees see the course of the housing prices and jumped on it like hot cakes. Now 90% of housing is owned in Canada and people are struggling to buy/rent anything at a reasonable price due to the low supply/high demand alongside the lack of resources and manpower to actually build houses as fast as the rate of people looking to buy/rent it affordably. When this bubble burst(which they all do).........man, the 08 recession is gonna look like a cake walk. There are many reason why as a Country we maybe the first to drop out of the G7 but one of the reason why Canada as failed was due to "Multiculturism" Bro, Multiculturism does not WORK. Different cultures do not come together and mix, different cultures comes together and CLASH leading people to just segregate and occupy a region of the state/province to themselves. What happens when you have several cultures clashing together in this societal mosaic where people are too scared to accidently cross each others boundaries unknowingly. You have an environment where it doesn't feel socially safe to really expressive yourselves, thus creating socially stagnant people. I came to Ontario in 2009 as a 12 year old and IMMEDIATELY noticed the dark atmosphere in areas. it caused it to be one of the most antisocial places in the world and people are living in cliques and a person who just arrives here will have to deal with trouble making friends in a community that's non-existent. we're MISERABLE. Fast forward past the pandemic and it has gotten MUCH worse. Especially in places like Toronto. Even hard for me to type this city's name. Next up the people, now I shouldn't be saying this since I've only been to only a few cities and lived in Toronto my for 15 years but Toronto has some of the most unhappy and unfriendly people you’re ever going to find. It’s just simply disjointed. Very passive aggressive, self-centered, short-tempered and socially awkward. It has always been this way even before the pandemic and I guess this is the result of an absent culture so its up to the youth to create their own which here it is POP culture and you know how superficial that is, leading to a lot of overgrown adults caring too much about what other people think making Toronto just one big high school. People in US cities are less angry but more direct, and in Toronto I find people less direct but angrier. The thing is, there’s nothing inherently amazing about Toronto. Nothing to write home about. Nothing to be proud of. Nothing that you can put your finger on and say that it defines Toronto. It just is what it is: a mass of mediocrity with its epicenter in a Canada. Now after the pandemic and now hidden recession people are losing their marbles. Not only are the homeless people more aggressive but some of the lower-middle class citizens are acting out of hand in public. Crime rate is rising and workers from the force are leaving to other places for better pay, easier demands, and higher pay and quality of life. Wait times for an ambulances is 2 HOURS!. Wait list for specialists can be up to 2 years. The average person is having trouble covering their expenses and is going crazy in this current state. Next is Socialism. In this modern era of aging populations, it is mathematically impossible for socialism to continue. The government does not have the money to take care of old people and provide healthcare, pensions and the various other benefits, even with the astronomical taxation that burdens hard working Canucks. Food banks have become the new hot commodity since the food prices have risen dramatically and a lot social assistance programs have been dropped as a result of all this. It used to be better to be poor in Canada than in the US. NOW?! although its still a struggle to be poor in US. All 3 socio-economic class fail in comparison to us. Last but not least, the Mental health crisis we are currently facing. I know globally people are just more mentally-loaded than we were before the pandemic but I can speak for my city that the combination of an overdrawn lockdown, lack of affordability, lack of social connection and community and bad government and PM has led to us having record increase of Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, drug overdose, poor mood, irritability and Suicidal thoughts. We just came out of a 3 year lockdown and now going into a horrible depression for who knows how long. Things were already getting bad for Canada after 2016 but now it has sped up the rate in which people cannot cope with. We are at our wits end. What's even worse was that we have always been socially dissonant with each other for awhile and times like this people aren't coming together to fight against what is happening. Instead they take it out on the local citizen that had nothing to do with before and nothing to do with now. Leading to a lot of conflict here. I spent my whole childhood in the US and when I came here I've always hated it here I have spoken to a lot of newcomers, expats, refugees and people who've been here for 10+years, they all have horror from their experience here and everything that is happening now is just the icing on the cake. I feel bad for the good people here actually trying to make their enviroment good but thanks to trudeau, governments, and the degenerates of this country. They have created a dystopia that has led to several damages that are irreversible and honestly it would have probably ended up this way even without covid happening, just later on.
@FlameThe4 This is one of the best comments that I have ever seen on TH-cam regarding the state of Canada here. Multiracialism has never been proven to work and this country is Anti-White, unfriendly, passive aggressive that I have ever seen in my life and it's terrible.
Man, I hear you. Did you know Trudeau was on the Colbert show the other night? And he was just talking about the mosaic culture as opposed to the American melting pot. Like it’s a great thing in Canada… We only see now the results of this dangerous ideology that was introduced by Trudeau Sr . and put on steroid with JT. Trudeau family single-handedly destroyed this country. Mosaic culture is the worst idea ever. Because you don’t even know in which country you the hell are living anymore. What you described about Toronto, I lived it in Vancouver. I despised the city. I didn’t feel anything Canadian about Vancouver. No identity. I live in Calgary now and it’s still multicultural but it’s not that bad and during Stampede you feel and see identity of the city and it feels good. And if you go to some small town in Alberta, it still feels Canadian. So it’s not all lost but this trajectory is just so wrong. America was wise enough to make Americans out of immigrants.
The type of immigrants coming here are not the cream of the crop anymore. That's why they don't stay. They had all these hopes and dreams but didn't work for it. They forget Canadians and PRs come first. They forgot they will start off doing low wage jobs. That's why they leave.
funny how you that when canada has the most amount of uber drivers who are qualified doctors, if you want qulity immigrants then welcome them and make your system designed to integrate them.
You're not the only one who thinks and feels what you do. Everyone feels exactally what you say but our voices are not promoted or acknowledged. This is why the Conservatives need to be voted in next Oct.
Unfortunately, about 70 million people still want to come here. We don't have the capacity to accommodate the number we're bringing in now. Our government is all too happy to bring in as many as possible as fast as it can be arranged.
Stay strong. You know what needs to be done even though this mess will take decades to fix. Future generations are depending on us to get this country back on track.
In regards to housing, this is a problem 14 years in the making. Early 2010s we had a lot of Chinese and Iranians using our housing as a money sink and get money out of their country. However since then a lot of local investors got into the market and financialize housing. At this point we are doing it to ourselves. If homes can go up over the pandemic there is no reason there cannot be correction after the pandemic. Gov need to stop trying to prop up housing value and let it correct. Hong Kong had 50% correction. Macau had an 80% correction. Let it happen. Dont make young people fund boomers retirement and pay $1m for a shit box 70 yo bungalow in Scarborough.
2:31 not early 2020s. Even in 2019, house prices were beyond ridiculous. They were already doubled compared to 2013. The pandemic just made it even worse.
I agree with you 100%! I have been wanting to leave so bad but can't afford to. I feel your pain. I live in Saskatchewan and it is not that cheap here anymore because of all the people that have started moving here. We have some of the highest food prices around. No jobs either. I have 25 years experience and I can't get a job if my life depended on it.
You mentioned canadian couples combined income 200$k and are just above water. 24 years ago, i lived in toronto, my wife a recent immigrant, we had a combined income not even close to 100$k. We left canada in 2003. I am pretty sure had we stayed, we would be lucky to break $150k combined. If you are like that couple you mentioned.....hats off to you. Nonetheless, we left for the same reasons you cited: low wages, high cost of living making it impossible to start a family. Last time I checked, the canadian birthrate wasn't so great. So , yeah, can't blame anyone for wanting to leave.
You are not alone. I don’t know a single soul that’s thriving. Everyone is just getting by at best or are floundering at worst. We need to return to meritocracy. We need to hold our leaders to account and reject deficit spending. They’re pulled future spending forward by printing to infinity. To buy votes and pander to special interest groups. To divide the populace. Only when we wake up and demand that government spending is capped. And that our leaders earn only what the average Canadian makes. Only when they’re are actually held accountable for their rampant unfettered spend. Only then do we have a chance at recovery.
The health care system is compromised and there are not enough doctors and nurses. The pension plan is losing money due to mismanagement. Housing is out of reach. I just got back from the Philippines to look at properties. I plan to move all of my assets to the Philippines in 10 years or so. I was saving for a condo here in Canada but the monthly cost of being an owner with the current inflation today is ridiculous. I would rather be a renter in Canada and buy properties in the Philippines. Canada's health care system is no longer as good as before Trudeau took the office. Trudeau took away everything we all need to retire in Canada.
I left Alberta in 2019 for France. I thought that Canada was an awful place back then. I was fed up with being paid hourly, having to beg my boss for work and having to accept 24/4 shifts or be broke and on the dole. I spent several months working 24/4 and other months working for 5 days, sometimes 0 days. The oil recession was so terrible. I already thought "What country is this!?". It didn't help that the cost of living was high and that living there was boring.
I still love Canada and I believe in the potential that people have here to turn things around. But I would be lying if I don't say I think about grabbing my dollars and going back to Brazil and buying a house outright (with the money I saved as a downpayment on a micro condo in Toronto I can buy a pretty awesome house there), own my housing instead of mortgage it and enjoy better weather is starting to feel more attractive now, specially because not all of Brazil is violent and unsafe, plenty of safe areas there too. Is it really worth it now to work 50-60 hours a week to afford a mortgage for the next 30 years in a place that is cold 6 months a year? I mean, it REALLY has to have other things going for it to be worth it. And there is a decreasing amount of things going for it. There 35-40 hours would be enough to live pretty well, I would probably not own the latest smartphone, or own a nice car, but I wouldn't worry every night about getting laid off because my mortgage (and if I rented it would be the same) is almost 60% of my income (and it's a high income, so if I lost my job I am literally f***, it would take months, maybe years to find another job that paid the same). I feel you, man.
It’s not just Canada, it’s the world that’s been inflated….. . But what you are feeling is Canada has lost its identity, your not the only one who feels this.
Yes, Canada lost its identity due to mass immigration and no assimilation culture. But that’s not the problem he feels. His issue is economical from what he said.
From fellow Canadian, have no expectations in life. Just be happy for what you have now. You are feeling frustrated because you are living in the future. Just be great ful for what you have now.
You are not the only one feeling five figure salary ain't sh*t You are not the only one feeling buying a house is next to impossible You are not the only one feeling tax is too high You are not the only one feeling if this can ever be fixed
This is tragic. Everyone knows the plight of Canadians. Simple minded folks simply blame it on immigrants. When infact their own elected government allowed insane level of immigration while excessive regulations and NIMBYs kept the prices high. A simple oil pipeline 'Trans mountain pipeline' went way over budget and got delayed for many years due to regulations.
Yes taxes are killing us too! Trudeau is the Prince John of Canada we have to stand against this Government! I am a skilled worker since I survived cancer I applied for work I am fully qualified for and no one hires me! For almost a Year I was like what's wrong out there in the job market! Have I been replace TFW's In my skill of Construction and Renovations! I guess I have to work for me now! lol!
It's okay brother. Just remember the story of the 2 toads who fell into a cup of cream. Don't give up, Just keep swimming, and something good will happen eventually.
Our oldest son graduated from university and has moved to Europe with no intention of returning to Canada. He’ll either stay in Europe (where he’s in graduate school) or move to the USA (on his US passport). He said, “Dad, why would I want to live in a country (Canada) where the government is committed to flooding the labor market every year with hundreds of thousands of people from India and China? Canada’s not a country, so much as a mediocre business.” Mass immigration, for those of you not aware, is used to supercharge Canada's biggest sector of it's economy - namely real estate and related rentals.
same...my parents from china. they want to buy as much houses as possible >_> keep failing to get money from bank. and then you are told you are wrong for being a landlord lol
If you didn't buy a house before covid you are done. Leave Canada. Because rent alone will eat up 50% of your pay. Or you will have to change lifestyle drastically. People with years of experience in their mid 40s can't find jobs in their field. I know exactly how you feel and you are not the only one.
Canada 5 star pricing for a 1 star lifestyle. Yes get out if you can.
You are right. My wife is from Ontario born and raised, married me (an American) and we have watched Canada be destroyed under Trudeau. Do yourself a favor and get rid of the bum somehow.

What are the principal sovereign rights of all countries?
Here are just three or four of them - one is to create your own money or control the creation of it. One is to control the range of your domestic interest rates. Another is to set your own trade and tariff policy. And the other is to protect your natural resource base for the benefit of your young and future citizens.
In Canada, we gave away the right to create our money to the private banks when we signed onto the Bank for International Settlements. We can always take it back if we can get the people to sense what’s happening.
We gave away the right to handle our own tariff and trade policy in the Free Trade Agreement and the NAFTA.
We gave away the right to set our own exchange rate policy in those same agreements.
And when we dismantled the National Energy Policy and FIRA [Federal Investment Review Agency], we gave away the right to protect our own resources for our future children.
You are not the only one that feels this way.
I finally feel like a minority. I hop on transit and my skin color stands out. HAH. It's hard to think about it sometimes. The fact that my job that I went back to school for is now shipped overseas. And then the local jobs that are available are also given to new immigrants because the government gives tons of incentives to hire new immigrants and new minorities. Notice the "new". Our social programs are unfair.
I don't even want to mention about refugees, our media hides too many cases and when things are released it's been more than half a decade or so. I can't do anything. I can b*tch about things but there's nothing I can do to myself that will better the society really. I am sick of what Canada is now.
TAX TAX TAX TAX TAX That's whats wrong with Canada. Thank Justin Trudeau, the Liberals, Jagmeet Singh and the NDPs. Thank the voters who voted for Justin Trudeau in three elections.
You're the problem if you think votes do anything
It's sad to say but I think the country is beyond repair. Look at the economy, government and immigration
It can be repaired. Its okay. It’s unlikely to be though. This is also happening in the uk but honestly, i’m glad im not in canada. I don’t like the uk but canada is just too much. Insane costs, worse weather, people aren’t social and the cost. Having said that 10 years ago, it looked really nice. Makes no sense for such a place to be so expensive. The nature is really nice in canada compared to the uk. Rent is high yet you have nothing but land. The problem is as simple as political corruption at the moment. But soon, the damage will become long lasting. Also, i am not aware of any high tax country which isn’t corrupt. You don’t get anywhere near in return what you pay for. And tax is included in areas that aren’t stated. Want to know why the same product costs 4x more in one place compared to another. I don’t mean a variant, i mean identical product. Tax is a part of that even if it doesn’t appear on paperwork. Same as rent. Supply is restricted via corruption, immigration is increased to get a quick buck and increase demand, increase property values…
I feel the same way. We are being constantly gaslit and put last. No promise of a future.
It is messed up man. I am 35, can’t find a job because my 2 year contract ended. Applied to over 200 jobs since February. On top of this struggle a house is way overpriced. Then you are taxed to death…what kind of corrupt / failed system is this…
A socialist one.
apply for an employment insurance ASAP !
If you're white, good luck.
You cant find a job because you are shit at what you do.
What's you're occupation bro? Try the trades....
"No more jobs" - there is no private property right in Canada. I was able to leave after being there for one year. Your government is too powerful and too big... they can afford to print money and leave as they want. There is no more "middle class". The biggest delusion is that a new political party will fix the problem. Why do they need to?
Leaving March 2025. Can't wait to leave

Right?!
Stay and fight the monster you created.
@@covidisascam4556Typical name for a typical delusional chronically online user.
I feel the same way as you! There is a lack of essential things like affordable housing and employment opportunities. The Trudeau government has done a lot of harm to Canadians and serious immigrants who have invested their lives here in a well-structured immigration project.
CANADA - is poor country, which high costs.
You guys young - move to warm weather, less work hours, balance work life, spending more time with your family.
It’s even worse in the US. Private elementary school is $20,000 a year. Child care is $4,000 per month. University is $40,000 a year. Health insurance is over $1,000 a month if you don’t get it through your job. Even with insurance, you still potentially pay thousands per visit. It getting unaffordable everywhere.
I can feel you brother. I did my masters here in 2018 and left and move back here recently. For now, not regretting coming back to Canada but this place changed a lot (not in a good way). The good thing is entire world, more or less facing the same situation. Hoping Canada recover from it.
That's what I was thinking.Canada alone is not at the loss,everywhere the situation is same. Tbh I work at two restaurants,and both are going in a bit of loss,one is at 20,000CAD loss this year as compared to previous year,the other one just got a bit slower,we are not even getting our pays on time due to this,I guess the situation is bad but it is everywhere.
Multiculturalism does that to countries. Change my mind.
If 1 million blonde Swedes came to Canada, the same affordability issues would exist. Culture is irrelevant
My high school was around 99% white, it was way better
Well said my brother! This is a heartbreaking video but one that needed to be posted
I am an IT contractor working using my corporation. I was hoping to find the next contract after finishing the last one in May 2023. I found one miraculously 8 months after, no EI, I was using my that type of contract. I applied to more than 600 hundred jobs. I saw linkedIn, stopping from publishing number of applications per job posting. I saw 2000 after a couple of weeks. And I even had an interview, and the HR told me they received around 600 applications. Living out of my line of credit, still owing money. Absolutely, Trudeau has to go inmediately. My friends and colleagues felt the same they have been feeling it, of course not as bad as in my type of work
I'm Canadian and I have a well-paying job, because it's a US company. My wife's paycheck is fucking joke, but together we make a reasonable income.
And I'm barely paying the CC and the line of credit. I don't own a house yet too.
Having a dinner outside became a luxury. Idk wtf happened here.
We voted in someone who had fabulous hair, promised to legalize weed and was the darling of the mainstream media.
We are in this situation because of air heads, pot heads and sheeple.
We treated democracy like a spectator sport.
That's what happened here.
Canada's borders must be closed for a decade minimum.
It's time for the government to take care of canadians first.
The problem with trudeau is he donated money to the Ukraine like an idiot and not helping canadians as u know freeland deputy prime is ukrainian they dont care about us
it wont be its who can manage the century initiative better. 100 million people by 2100. Good luck stopping that.
No..... They need to build build build, build houses, build infrastructure, more jobs, more work.... The problem is that we are bringing all these people in and sleeeeping...
Brother you have a lot of support here and you’re not alone. Canada needs to flip the script.we’re going backwards.
My family has been in Alberta since 1910 and I can’t even find a job in a province where 6 generations of my family have called home. Sad !!!!
Everyone is saying this regardless of the country. Look at the UK, Ireland, France, Australia, Japan, and the US, which have the exact same issues. We gotta stop letting billionaires create monopolies.
The UK is equally as messed up. Life is totally miserable here with an awful cost of living crisis with no jobs. Not to mention crappy weather all year round and a sense of just surviving every day. I'd love to move away but it sounds like its the same everywhere
i live in uk 5 years and yes weather is suck ass :/
Thank you for speaking my mind. I have a very similar background and am currently in a similar situation. I am seeking for WHERE to escape from this unrecognizable place that I once felt proud to call home. I used to proudly say "I am Canadian", last time I had a chance to say that was visiting New Zealand in 2020, but now, I feel like I’ll just say I’m from Calgary, Alberta, and leave it at that.
By the way, I agree with your opinion on the province of Saskatchewan, maybe it is the first step to take...
Trudeau sold Canada for the last penny. There is a price to pay for stupidity. Not sure if Canadians have learned or not.
Just a reminder: Canadians voted for this government 3 times in a row
we didn't, Ontario did.
ding ding ding and all the editors will be out to vote them in again.
Do you believe the elections are actually not rigged?
We voted this government in three times.
We deserve everything we get.

I didn't.
Now help vote them out
No Ontario and Quebec did
"Voting" 🤪
You are not alone in how you feel. Thank you for expressing it.
Places are experiencing inflation around the world but not as bad a Canada. After a decade of living in Canada, and travelling to a few developing countries I see the difference.
In developing countries its still possible to make money if you can't find your main job. Most of my developing country friends are building empires(big businesses) and hiring large teams or having profitable side hustles. We Canadians don't even know how much we are getting robbed. Really makes a big difference to travel to a undeveloped country to see difference in quality of life, and sometimes even better infrastructure.
It is everywhere. I am in Sydney. My wife and I earn combine income of AU$280k per year (pretax). We live in an area 45kms from Sydney CBD. It is so far, i cant even remember the last time i saw the harbour. And if i become unemployed, i need to find job within a month, or ill be in deep trouble. We bought our house before covid for 900k, with savings of 200k. Similar house, same location will cost at least $1.5mil now. I fear for my children.😢
I did two masters (Engineering and MBA) in Canada and left in the 90s. I have a CPA and came back in 2021 because of family. The government squeeze entrepreurs out and a few companies control the country. I know what has happened. This not new. I started seeing these problems when doing my engineering master thesis. The government exported industry. Can't blame China as Canada (Northern Telecon) was exporting telecom manufacting in the late 80s....I interview for the jobs.
Canada hates small businesses they love corporations
your not the only one I've been looking for a job for over a year now, I live in Ontario have my whole life never seen it this bad ever, still have one child at home single father life is really getting terriabl
You are not. My wife and I moved to Surrey, BC Canada in 2015. We decided we could not afford it there, eventually moved to Calgary, AB in 2022 but finally realized that there was something wrong with Canada itself and started preparing our move back to the Philippines. We've been back home for almost 2 years now and we've been enjoying it so far.
We still have hope for Canada but we'll stick it out here in the tropics for now. I'm thinking maybe some time around 2027 or beyond.
PS. We were earning $150k CAD combined.
Philippines is great for top 5 to 10% of households. Otherwise, no. Corruption is everywhere. I'm sure you are aware the actions of PNP over the last decade. And, the education system is broken, high rates of teacher absenteeism, the learning outcomes are very poor. If all are to have good lives then much has to change.
Hahaha you are liar
Our politicians are messed up. Most Canadians remain good people.
Belgium similar, I left. I left 20-30 years mortgage for a studio whilst losing myself in an office job. I made a 6 months plan, moved abroad and bought a property in cash. The dream of home ownership is no longer possible for average, single people, young or old. Living the Flemish dream of owning property and upgrading but in another country.
I immigrated to Canada back in 1996. Left in 2009 for Australia for a job due to the financial crisis. Returned in 2019 just before covid. Now I want to leave again.
Canada is definitely much worse today than when I first immigrated back in the 90's. But it's more than just economics. Major parts of Canada have conditions much worse than some 3rd world countries. And I KNOW 3rd world countries. I am well-traveled and I have seen and experienced a lot including 3rd World countries.
I hope future leaders of this country can do a complete 180 and pivot the direction of this country to progress and prosperity. Time will tell. But I am planning to possibly leave one day if this doesn't happen.
I live in a 3rd world country and I'm not sure if you can compare canada's conditions with a 3rd world country... Canada is not the best, but is definitely better

@@Moomai95 Good points, I'm from Mexico so I can agree with the friendly and outgoing part. But still, I can see that Canada is on a better place than a 3rd world country, less trash, more planned cities, less wealth inequality.

Financialization of Canada's housing market is to blame. People were treating buying houses like buying stocks on the stock market and the government just sat back and let it happen. Now the Canadian government is finally realizing it's totally screwed the economy, but it's too late to fix. I think it's a binary outcome now of a huge housing collapse or a permanent shift to a feudal-like system where the only landowners will be people whose parents owned homes.
My parents still do not understand how bad it is. I make nearly 6 figures, have good credit with no substantial debt and was told 7 months ago that to buy a home in a submarket ( NS) that I would need to make 7,500/mo to qualify for a 250k loan ( an amount that would not buy you anything) meanwhile I pay higher rent than I would be paying for the average mortgage.
This country will never return to its past -as flawed as it was. I am realist and that is the truth. Canada has abandoned its' Christian roots and so, this is what you get. The Christian Church is so weak and irrelevant in this country and hence its no longer "the conscience of society". I am seriously looking to a red western state for my wife and myself to live as free people; I would suggest the same!
I got lucky. My parents bought our house in Toronto for 300k. It's now worth 1.3m. I also just started at UofT which is only 30~40 minutes away, so I commute. Unless something changes soon, I'll probably leave Canada (or Toronto at least) as soon as I graduate. It would be nice if I could afford a home here one day, but I don't expect that will happen.
Find a similar size city in USA, you find the same problems. Find a similar size city in Australia, you find the same problem, find a similar size city in Germany or France, you find the same problems.

I worked outside of Canada in a caribbean country for 8 years, my income there was enough to save a bit. Back in Canaada now, Canada is paradise compared to 95% of the world.
I thought the price in US is bad for everything. I live only 30min from Canada border and 1hr from Montreal. I go to Montreal once a month to buy groceries. The price is very cheap compared to US. Example, beef bone in Canada is only $0.39lb (CAN), here is in the $4.00lb USD (and the beef bone is import from Canada). About everything is cheaper in Canada. The only downside is I can bring fruit or vegetable back into US. I made over $100k yr, but can’t afford live in the rural areas of US 😢. I glad, I live close to Canada to get cheaper foods.
You're not the only one. This place is a shithole. The last 10-15 years have become completely unaffordable in Toronto, ON. There's absolutely no reason to be here anymore other than friends/family ties. It's very depressing, and I think many of us, established or not should consider leaving the province or living abroad 6 months of the year.
Sir, you are so on the mark with everything you said! I am a senior immigrant from Germany; and would love to leave Canada, but where would I go at this point in my life. The entire world is falling apart BIG TIME!

It's not recently that it's become "So Bad". Costs have crept up as corporations leverage for themselves the profits they deem appropriate... But I can't leverage for myself better wages. I live in Manitoba, and it was easier than Toronto or Vancouver or Calgary etc.

I see the current course of the US economy and as a Canadian I envy the rate those guys are going at. There are tons of chances for things to be turned around but here in Canada...............hohoho. We are on track of entering into a DEPRESSION. Let's start with the housing market which is our worst bubble. 40% of Canada GDP comes from housing, they rely heavily on housing much more than the US. We stopped building houses at a decent rate since the mid 90s. Since then our population has jumped to 40 million due to mass migration. The Housing to person ratio is such at a dystopian ratio that major private investors oversees see the course of the housing prices and jumped on it like hot cakes. Now 90% of housing is owned in Canada and people are struggling to buy/rent anything at a reasonable price due to the low supply/high demand alongside the lack of resources and manpower to actually build houses as fast as the rate of people looking to buy/rent it affordably. When this bubble burst(which they all do).........man, the 08 recession is gonna look like a cake walk.
There are many reason why as a Country we maybe the first to drop out of the G7 but one of the reason why Canada as failed was due to "Multiculturism" Bro, Multiculturism does not WORK. Different cultures do not come together and mix, different cultures comes together and CLASH leading people to just segregate and occupy a region of the state/province to themselves. What happens when you have several cultures clashing together in this societal mosaic where people are too scared to accidently cross each others boundaries unknowingly. You have an environment where it doesn't feel socially safe to really expressive yourselves, thus creating socially stagnant people. I came to Ontario in 2009 as a 12 year old and IMMEDIATELY noticed the dark atmosphere in areas. it caused it to be one of the most antisocial places in the world and people are living in cliques and a person who just arrives here will have to deal with trouble making friends in a community that's non-existent. we're MISERABLE. Fast forward past the pandemic and it has gotten MUCH worse. Especially in places like Toronto. Even hard for me to type this city's name.
Next up the people, now I shouldn't be saying this since I've only been to only a few cities and lived in Toronto my for 15 years but Toronto has some of the most unhappy and unfriendly people you’re ever going to find. It’s just simply disjointed. Very passive aggressive, self-centered, short-tempered and socially awkward. It has always been this way even before the pandemic and I guess this is the result of an absent culture so its up to the youth to create their own which here it is POP culture and you know how superficial that is, leading to a lot of overgrown adults caring too much about what other people think making Toronto just one big high school. People in US cities are less angry but more direct, and in Toronto I find people less direct but angrier. The thing is, there’s nothing inherently amazing about Toronto. Nothing to write home about. Nothing to be proud of. Nothing that you can put your finger on and say that it defines Toronto. It just is what it is: a mass of mediocrity with its epicenter in a Canada. Now after the pandemic and now hidden recession people are losing their marbles. Not only are the homeless people more aggressive but some of the lower-middle class citizens are acting out of hand in public. Crime rate is rising and workers from the force are leaving to other places for better pay, easier demands, and higher pay and quality of life. Wait times for an ambulances is 2 HOURS!. Wait list for specialists can be up to 2 years. The average person is having trouble covering their expenses and is going crazy in this current state.
Next is Socialism. In this modern era of aging populations, it is mathematically impossible for socialism to continue. The government does not have the money to take care of old people and provide healthcare, pensions and the various other benefits, even with the astronomical taxation that burdens hard working Canucks. Food banks have become the new hot commodity since the food prices have risen dramatically and a lot social assistance programs have been dropped as a result of all this. It used to be better to be poor in Canada than in the US. NOW?! although its still a struggle to be poor in US. All 3 socio-economic class fail in comparison to us.
Last but not least, the Mental health crisis we are currently facing. I know globally people are just more mentally-loaded than we were before the pandemic but I can speak for my city that the combination of an overdrawn lockdown, lack of affordability, lack of social connection and community and bad government and PM has led to us having record increase of Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, drug overdose, poor mood, irritability and Suicidal thoughts. We just came out of a 3 year lockdown and now going into a horrible depression for who knows how long. Things were already getting bad for Canada after 2016 but now it has sped up the rate in which people cannot cope with. We are at our wits end. What's even worse was that we have always been socially dissonant with each other for awhile and times like this people aren't coming together to fight against what is happening. Instead they take it out on the local citizen that had nothing to do with before and nothing to do with now. Leading to a lot of conflict here.
I spent my whole childhood in the US and when I came here I've always hated it here I have spoken to a lot of newcomers, expats, refugees and people who've been here for 10+years, they all have horror from their experience here and everything that is happening now is just the icing on the cake. I feel bad for the good people here actually trying to make their enviroment good but thanks to trudeau, governments, and the degenerates of this country. They have created a dystopia that has led to several damages that are irreversible and honestly it would have probably ended up this way even without covid happening, just later on.
@FlameThe4
This is one of the best comments that I have ever seen on TH-cam regarding the state of Canada here. Multiracialism has never been proven to work and this country is Anti-White, unfriendly, passive aggressive that I have ever seen in my life and it's terrible.
Man, I hear you. Did you know Trudeau was on the Colbert show the other night? And he was just talking about the mosaic culture as opposed to the American melting pot. Like it’s a great thing in Canada… We only see now the results of this dangerous ideology that was introduced by Trudeau Sr . and put on steroid with JT. Trudeau family single-handedly destroyed this country. Mosaic culture is the worst idea ever. Because you don’t even know in which country you the hell are living anymore. What you described about Toronto, I lived it in Vancouver. I despised the city. I didn’t feel anything Canadian about Vancouver. No identity. I live in Calgary now and it’s still multicultural but it’s not that bad and during Stampede you feel and see identity of the city and it feels good. And if you go to some small town in Alberta, it still feels Canadian. So it’s not all lost but this trajectory is just so wrong. America was wise enough to make Americans out of immigrants.
"Are there jobs there?" Exactly. Which is why most immigrants head to the major metropolitan areas ASAP.
Here’s the fix! Step one, don’t vote for Trudeau! That’s it, simple as that.
The type of immigrants coming here are not the cream of the crop anymore. That's why they don't stay. They had all these hopes and dreams but didn't work for it. They forget Canadians and PRs come first. They forgot they will start off doing low wage jobs. That's why they leave.
We came as skilled workers, I think you're full of shit. 😁
funny how you that when canada has the most amount of uber drivers who are qualified doctors, if you want qulity immigrants then welcome them and make your system designed to integrate them.
You're not the only one who thinks and feels what you do. Everyone feels exactally what you say but our voices are not promoted or acknowledged. This is why the Conservatives need to be voted in next Oct.
People spent a fortune on tech made in Asia. That money has returned to buy up Canadian property.
Unfortunately, about 70 million people still want to come here. We don't have the capacity to accommodate the number we're bringing in now. Our government is all too happy to bring in as many as possible as fast as it can be arranged.
Stay strong. You know what needs to be done even though this mess will take decades to fix. Future generations are depending on us to get this country back on track.
In regards to housing, this is a problem 14 years in the making. Early 2010s we had a lot of Chinese and Iranians using our housing as a money sink and get money out of their country. However since then a lot of local investors got into the market and financialize housing. At this point we are doing it to ourselves. If homes can go up over the pandemic there is no reason there cannot be correction after the pandemic. Gov need to stop trying to prop up housing value and let it correct. Hong Kong had 50% correction. Macau had an 80% correction. Let it happen. Dont make young people fund boomers retirement and pay $1m for a shit box 70 yo bungalow in Scarborough.
2:31 not early 2020s. Even in 2019, house prices were beyond ridiculous. They were already doubled compared to 2013. The pandemic just made it even worse.
This, the red alerts started in 2015 and 2020 exacerbated it to the moon.
Pandemic didnt do it the corruption did

I agree with you 100%! I have been wanting to leave so bad but can't afford to. I feel your pain. I live in Saskatchewan and it is not that cheap here anymore because of all the people that have started moving here. We have some of the highest food prices around. No jobs either. I have 25 years experience and I can't get a job if my life depended on it.
You mentioned canadian couples combined income 200$k and are just above water. 24 years ago, i lived in toronto, my wife a recent immigrant, we had a combined income not even close to 100$k. We left canada in 2003. I am pretty sure had we stayed, we would be lucky to break $150k combined. If you are like that couple you mentioned.....hats off to you.
Nonetheless, we left for the same reasons you cited: low wages, high cost of living making it impossible to start a family. Last time I checked, the canadian birthrate wasn't so great. So , yeah, can't blame anyone for wanting to leave.
You are not alone. I don’t know a single soul that’s thriving. Everyone is just getting by at best or are floundering at worst.
We need to return to meritocracy.
We need to hold our leaders to account and reject deficit spending. They’re pulled future spending forward by printing to infinity. To buy votes and pander to special interest groups.
To divide the populace.
Only when we wake up and demand that government spending is capped. And that our leaders earn only what the average Canadian makes. Only when they’re are actually held accountable for their rampant unfettered spend.
Only then do we have a chance at recovery.
The Canadian dream is to move out of the country.
I hear you man I started noticing this back in the early 1998 it's only gotten worse
100% agree my brother! I would move to Russia in a heartbeat if I could.
Hahahaha 😅😅😅 if you go in Russia it's better to live in your own country so bad country believe me
The health care system is compromised and there are not enough doctors and nurses. The pension plan is losing money due to mismanagement. Housing is out of reach. I just got back from the Philippines to look at properties. I plan to move all of my assets to the Philippines in 10 years or so. I was saving for a condo here in Canada but the monthly cost of being an owner with the current inflation today is ridiculous. I would rather be a renter in Canada and buy properties in the Philippines. Canada's health care system is no longer as good as before Trudeau took the office. Trudeau took away everything we all need to retire in Canada.
You know something's wrong with your country when people immigrate here to escape tyranny or even war. But they feel better off where they were.
I left Alberta in 2019 for France. I thought that Canada was an awful place back then. I was fed up with being paid hourly, having to beg my boss for work and having to accept 24/4 shifts or be broke and on the dole. I spent several months working 24/4 and other months working for 5 days, sometimes 0 days. The oil recession was so terrible. I already thought "What country is this!?". It didn't help that the cost of living was high and that living there was boring.
There's Canada & then there's Alberta.
No bro. You are not the only one.
This country is completely broken
The Trudeau legacy
My wife and I went out for breakfast nothing special 45 dollars and on a 3 on the tip wpw
The correct question to ask is who are buying all these houses if most Canadians cannot afford them? It's crazy.
Foreign investors?
Few wealthy people who own multiple properties
I still love Canada and I believe in the potential that people have here to turn things around. But I would be lying if I don't say I think about grabbing my dollars and going back to Brazil and buying a house outright (with the money I saved as a downpayment on a micro condo in Toronto I can buy a pretty awesome house there), own my housing instead of mortgage it and enjoy better weather is starting to feel more attractive now, specially because not all of Brazil is violent and unsafe, plenty of safe areas there too. Is it really worth it now to work 50-60 hours a week to afford a mortgage for the next 30 years in a place that is cold 6 months a year? I mean, it REALLY has to have other things going for it to be worth it. And there is a decreasing amount of things going for it. There 35-40 hours would be enough to live pretty well, I would probably not own the latest smartphone, or own a nice car, but I wouldn't worry every night about getting laid off because my mortgage (and if I rented it would be the same) is almost 60% of my income (and it's a high income, so if I lost my job I am literally f***, it would take months, maybe years to find another job that paid the same).
I feel you, man.
On a Brasilian salary?
I agree. Canada is awful to live right now
One question, did you vote liberal or ndp? If so take a look in the mirror and see why this country is destroyed.
I did not.
@@yycmarty oddly enough I can't find anyone that will admit it lol. They probably don't want to get KO'd
It’s not just Canada, it’s the world that’s been inflated…..
.
But what you are feeling is Canada has lost its identity, your not the only one who feels this.
thx to America.
You’re the 51st state
Yes, Canada lost its identity due to mass immigration and no assimilation culture. But that’s not the problem he feels. His issue is economical from what he said.
From fellow Canadian, have no expectations in life. Just be happy for what you have now. You are feeling frustrated because you are living in the future. Just be great ful for what you have now.
You are not the only one feeling five figure salary ain't sh*t
You are not the only one feeling buying a house is next to impossible
You are not the only one feeling tax is too high
You are not the only one feeling if this can ever be fixed
All the politicians have taken their pay raises and don’t have a problem.
On the better side, watch the video with 1.5X speed and it will still be slow
Am I supposed to rant like Ben Shapiro?
Wow, am i the only one blessed and living high???
Wasnt that long ago this country was okay. Just 10-15 year ago.
This is tragic. Everyone knows the plight of Canadians. Simple minded folks simply blame it on immigrants. When infact their own elected government allowed insane level of immigration while excessive regulations and NIMBYs kept the prices high. A simple oil pipeline 'Trans mountain pipeline' went way over budget and got delayed for many years due to regulations.
I hear ya man - swimming upstream big time over here too. Keep at it and lets vote these incompetent jokes out as soon as we can
Preach bro its a fucking disaster.
Canada is TOST if JT gets elected again next year.
Yes taxes are killing us too! Trudeau is the Prince John of Canada we have to stand against this Government! I am a skilled worker since I survived cancer I applied for work I am fully qualified for and no one hires me! For almost a Year I was like what's wrong out there in the job market! Have I been replace TFW's In my skill of Construction and Renovations! I guess I have to work for me now! lol!
If your parents give you their house, guess what.... You have to pay INHERITANCE TAX!!!!! LOL 😂😂😂
It's okay brother. Just remember the story of the 2 toads who fell into a cup of cream. Don't give up, Just keep swimming, and something good will happen eventually.
All part of Trudeau's plans
You need to make 200K imo to live comfortably
Our oldest son graduated from university and has moved to Europe with no intention of returning to Canada. He’ll either stay in Europe (where he’s in graduate school) or move to the USA (on his US passport). He said, “Dad, why would I want to live in a country (Canada) where the government is committed to flooding the labor market every year with hundreds of thousands of people from India and China? Canada’s not a country, so much as a mediocre business.” Mass immigration, for those of you not aware, is used to supercharge Canada's biggest sector of it's economy - namely real estate and related rentals.
Happened because we have a third generation trust fund kid and journalist from a wealthy family calling the shots...
same...my parents from china. they want to buy as much houses as possible >_> keep failing to get money from bank. and then you are told you are wrong for being a landlord lol
add to previous comment★with hope smile😊 you will be ok
If you didn't buy a house before covid you are done. Leave Canada. Because rent alone will eat up 50% of your pay. Or you will have to change lifestyle drastically. People with years of experience in their mid 40s can't find jobs in their field. I know exactly how you feel and you are not the only one.
I'm moving to Canada end of year
