People try to predict the economy not realizing it is not a capitalistic market, its a command economy, central planning! my concern is, instead of having much dollar in bank that could lose value to inflation, do I save in gold to reserve and grow wealth for now, or just hang on?
truth is that gold serves as an inflation hedge in the long run, but not profitable in the short run. only thing you can predict is a strong effort of wealth transfer from the people to the powerful. luckily some folks find solution in financial advisors
I wholeheartedly concur; I'm 60 years old, just retired, and have about $1,250,000 in non-retirement assets. Compared to the whole value of my portfolio during the last three years, I have no debt and a very little amount of money in retirement accounts. To be completely honest, the information provided by invt-advisors can only be ignored but not neglected. Simply undertake research to choose a trustworthy one.
Certainly, there are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with "Sonia Duke " for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She's quite known in her field, look-her up.
Europe is getting mass third world immigration, too... and the US, and Australia.... It's ALMOST like it's a orchestrated attempt to blend European people out of existence that we're not supposed to notice.
No one can just leave for Europe. Europe is not a country. Almost all EU countries have strict rules for foreigners to move in and usually these rules are substantially more complicated than in Canada.
@@coolbuddydude1it may be, but Canadian born people should not be relegated to a footnote in the story. The priorities of concern should be reversed. Also, it’s not only renters who are stretched. Many home owners have put their life savings into a house and don’t have the capital to make other investments that some renters do
@@ooc4436 lol importing people.. Is the cheapest way for companies and government.. .. But obviously not for the people living in Canada that have to deal with shithole services and expensive everything.
It's not mass immigration. It is poor planning and draconian rules on construction and land use which caused this crisis. The laughably low salaries won't help the situation either.
3rd generation Canadian here and an impoverished senior. The 'Canadian dream' is dead. All that's left is figuring out how so survive another year. It's awful. If you want to come here it's best to bring all the money you need with you. Think twice and maybe think again, there are better places than here.
Canadian residents get 2 weeks minimum vacation. But they have family and friends all over the world. How does 2 weeks give anyone incentive to stay here? Yes one works hard, but then they burn out from multiple jobs to pay rent, and not having time to see their family or friends back home. Why would even second generation Canadians want to be productive? Their reward for hard work is not enough time off to recharge and not being able to see their relatives or friends who may be overseas. Maybe we need to remember life is more than just the hours we put into work, its about making those hours productive so we can take the time off to make time for other things that also matter. Germany and France seem to get it, 4 to 5 weeks seems to be standard there as a I read, and they are much more productive than us since they have something to look forward too. But if Canadians want to be silent and continue to do nothing about fixing our system which we should be able to do in a democracy, maybe they need to relearn the meaning of civil society and democracy.
I served 2 younger working adults from the UK here in the oilpatch they seemed happy, some that come that have zero English skills are going to suffer cause they stay in their groups and don't integrate
I am a born Canadian and I am exploring other living alternatives, other than Canada. I can no longer afford a healthy reasonable quality of life and see no future for my two teenage children. They will never be able to buy a home, both will go into debt to get training for future careers, they probably won't leave my home for a very long time as there are no affordable rentals and somehow I will have to sustain their living for them longer on one salary. Our health is declining because we can not access adequate medical care and afford reasonable healthy groceries. Gas is outrageous and it is difficult to be able to afford to get around the city for appointments, school and work. My son has applied to ample places as a teenager with NOT ONE call back for a part time job. Our city is overwhelmed with newcomers and our infastructure and social services can not sustain the rapid growth. Our government does not listen or respond to the people and give themselves well above the average Canadian salary.
Trudope needs to stop the mass immigration from India to Canada. That is step one. He needs to ensure Canadians can survive and thrive. Second, you are clearly white. How do I know? Only white people kick their kids out of the house when they’re 18. Other cultures - we can learn from them!! - live under one roof together with their kids and sometimes even with their spouses and children. When families pool their resources, it works better for everyone. Wouldn’t it be easier on you if your children and spouses brought home their money and it was divided between your mortgage, utilities, food and other household expenses? Not to mention, the elders in the home can take care of it and the children (no daycare costs!!). Furthermore, it’s time more jobs can be done remotely - COVID already proved it was possible for many jobs so being “in the office” is not a viable excuse anymore for many careers which saves on gas and transportation expenses. These solutions have worked for other cultures and during COVID. I don’t know why anyone is so stubborn to learn the lessons that work. And get Trudope out of office too - other countries would have overthrown the government by now had that ahole been their leader but all Canadians worry about is hockey and the price of beer! Time to get it together, Canada!
To those thinking about leaving, trust your intuition and have some confidence in your judgements, stop procrastinating and leave, it’s better for Everyone.

Hi from Montréal, nature's not going down alone, I'm 63 and happy here, gotta live your life smart, make your own luck! I became a stay at home mom, system's not going to help you that much, good luck!😊
I'll be leaving. Not because of high living cost, as I can afford it, but because I don't see benefits in staying. 9 months per year of cold weather? No thank you. Cheap Air Fryer but expensive AF veterinarian care? No thank you. Free health care but no family doctors available? Preventative health care is also non existant. You've got to literally lie to your doctor to get him to run an exam.
The Canadian cost of living is getting way out of hand. All the carbon pricing and green initiatives are killing us. Canada is in the Northern hemisphere and we need fossil fuels to keep us alive in the winters and to get to work. Electric cars are great as a second vehicle if you can afford it. Do not even get me started on our health care system. We cannot serve our current number of citizens let alone letting more people in whom do not pay taxes.
People! Read the news, the cost of living is out of control around the world. Americans are living in their cars, Brits are not turning on their heat, aussies are struggling etc etc, it is not just a Canadian problem. The world is in this together!
No, it is a "global north" problem. Just wait till the Europeans have to start paying market rates for African resources with REAL wealth. The USA did this to themselves. Wars after wars after wars just so the top 0.5% can make a few trillions more.
Except Canada leads the way. My chi worker just sold his 3 bedroom home in Woodstock for 800k. And bought a 5 bedroom home in Kentucky with 2 acres of land for 400k. You tell me which one of those is a better deal. For most it's obvious. For you, it's the same? What level mathematics did you finish?
@@Jacko0_0your talking about boomers. They already own homes, the country is doomed because it’s not progressing, young people will never own homes because wages are the same but houses are 800k. Our country is failing as the older generation dies and the young are left poor, its economic collapse.
@@FrostyIgnition The boomers are extremely selfish and greedy. They demand policies that will benefit them now and ASAP, future generations be damned! You will NEVER see rich Asians/Browns in their 70s and 80s wasting time and money by travelling around taking 5 vacations in a year. They save their money and pass it onto their grandkids. This selfishness is abhorent!
Thanks for sharing that information about the world. I love Canada and wouldn't leave. I figure there are endless ways that other countries are worse than Canada. As per the people who say Make Canada Great Again, I suggest they leave Canada because Canada is still great.
What about the younger generations how about them you keep giving all the best jobs to immigrants and we can't move up the ladder either it's impossible to find a freaking job right now.
Many immigrants cannot get hired because they lack "Canadian experience". But the ones that do settle for lesser salaries. There is no way a foriegner engineer/doctor or even a mechanic can get a job in Canada without being liscensed in Canada. But since you are so hurt for Canadian kids, just go to any STEM department in ANY university in Canada and you will rarely find "Canadian" students. Most students in STEM fields in Canadian universities are usually non-whites.
@@ooc4436Because they’re getting paid minimum wage. Any traditional labour jobs like that would be higher generally, but no it’s wage stagnation. Why pay white people 20$/hour for warehouse labour when you can pay an endless amount of desperate jatts and gujaratis minimum wage and they’ll do more work because they know they have no other options. Everyone loses, it is truly a zero-sum game.
I was born and raised here, and I feel like I'm in quick sand constantly. It feels unbearable. Were being replaced by outsiders who get more help than us.
I wonder what the best opportunities to invest now are, there are opinions but a little later I find out these opinions don't matter as a totally different turn of events play out with the stocks they discussed therein...
If you’re new to investing or have a more complex financial situation, It can be helpful to work with a financial advisor who can provide personalized guidance and help you make informed investment decisions.
Even with the right technique and assets some investors would still make more than others, as an investor, you should’ve known that by now, nothing beats experience and that’s final, personally I had to reach out to a market analyst for guidance which is how I was able to grow my account close to a million, withdraw my profit right before the correction and now I’m buying again.
That's correct. At first, I wasn't too pleased with my gains compared to my previous performances, I was doing so poorly, I thought I needed to diversify into better assets, so I got in touch with an investment-advisor. That same year, I pulled a net gain of 550k, which is about 10 times more than I average on.
How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financial future and am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success?.
It is not THAT easy. Many immigrants that arrive in Canada on a "points" system bring in a lot of money with them. Those who sponsor their close family members have to show enough earnings and have to take responsibility for the sponsored for 10 years. If it is a whole family immigrating, they bring in enough $$ (often close to a million $$) to buy a house/property. The Canadian bankers and the govt win at the end of the day because there is a huge amount of $$ as well as people coming in who will borrow more $$ once here.
@@ooc4436 we do not have the resources to accommodate anymore immigrants. Not enough housing not enough doctors, etc. Canadians are suffering tremendously because too many immigrants were allowed to enter our cost of living is the highest in the world and our income is half the average of Americans. Immigration is literally smothering middle class Canadians to the point of malnutrition and extreme anxiety. People from all around the world come and take advantage of our services and show zero compassion or concern for how it impacts others living here. It’s extremely selfish and disgusting.
@@ooc4436 I think what m.t.1616 is trying to say here is, 'thanks for bring in the money and sorry you guys had to be fooled. Now you have done so, please pay the departure tax before you leave, so we can repeat our colonial heritage of exploitation'.
Many keyboard warriors here do not know that. Most are bots anyways. Even if you buy a house in Canada, you have the "posession" of it, but the Crown still owns that land!!😂😂
there is no canadian dream. if you’re an immigrant looking for a better life, turn around and go somewhere else, you will claw your way through life over here.
@@Gloryboyquan i’m a canadian born citizen observing immigrants come here with a made-up idea of canada in their head. then quickly realizing the mistake they made moving here.
I can confirm this. As a Canadian born person of unemployed disability, having to use public library computers because I recently sold mine to buy household water, I shared desk space with a Middle East immigrant who was applying for work through an American company to go back to the Middle East as an electrician for the gas sector. Canada is so broken that immigrants are actually trying to leave us, leaving the original population to our own messes.
My circle of friends feel that it’s not enjoyable living here. High cost of living with not enough time to enjoy life. Long hours at work and unaffordable housing has pushed young people further out… it’s normal to be driving 20 mins to get groceries and up to 1hr to 1.5h hang out with friends… rather stay home. Leading to feeling isolated and in addition we have very short summers… and very long depressing winters. Some of our friends found opportunities in the U.S and are getting ready to leave. We’re mid 30s, skilled white collar professionals and Canadian citizens in our prime. Would of been considered upper middle class 10 to 15 years ago. Such a shame, Canada will face a brain drain. Lastly, the standard of living is decreasing, basic etiquette is being drowned by the influence of immigration…. Where is Canadian culture and values?
@@dailydrivenmuscle. No they will not. There are more coming. The best you can do is move out farther into the wilderness to avoid seeing an immigrant. 😄😄
Came to Canada a few years ago and now a doc serving Canadians. Lots of people not happy with immigration but no Canadian is skillful enough to fill the vacant positions. 😅 and I do admit mass immigration recently wasn’t helpful at all.
What does the future look like for the average 20 year old? Never mind the immigrants, young Canadian citizens would be smart to look to other pastures as it will take decades to fix this mess and thats only if the country is committed to doing so. Go where you are wanted.

@@abcdedfg8340 All the western societies are in big trouble. The world as we know it is in flux and with that comes uncertainty. It requires a person to step back and take a hard look at who they are and what they want out of life. Then you must be honest with yourself in where that might be your best option. For young people it is extremely important. You don't want to be 45 and look back on your life with regret.
@@Verticaltechwizard Boomers actually engaged in our politics and civil society, so they got what they needed. They still do that in europe. But if you want to run away and do nothing, you are welcome to do so.
As an immigrant, I've been here for 7 years, I was able to buy my condo and still think about leaving, it's ridiculous the amount of taxes we pay here. Not to mention how shit the health system is, most of us go to our native country and in a few weeks we do everything we need, here, you wait for months, sometimes years.
Well, health care is provincial jurisdiction and the most populous ones are currently run by Conservatives, who want to privatize health care for the economic migrants they prefer. I do not like or accept it, I am aware of it. They tell us we're free, that we're free to associate, but that's a lie. If we refuse to vote for any of them, they exclude us, but when they refuse to vote on any law, they include themselves, while they tell us we're all equal without discrimination. Conservatives have sold a very effective illusion, but I hope it is faltering. It looks to be faltering to me.
Celebrating my 3rd year anniversary in the U.S. on Independence Day today after growing up and being educated in Canada. So thankful that I was able to move out of Toronto and have a higher quality of life in America. Lower taxes, higher pay, more career opportunity, more affordable.
I have a former classmate who was planning to move to Canada, but decided not to. Instead of moving his family, he spent a month there alone first and determined the place wasn't worth moving to.
It’s not just cost of housing, I am Canadian from Burnaby (left Canada 6 years ago) not because of the cost of living but the quality of living, when I used to run in Central park and do my workouts there, now it’s all taken over by homeless people and crime is rampant. I’ve two little daughters horrific murder of Marrisa Shen didn’t settle well with me given I lived meters away from the site where it happened.
Here’s how to stop that sh*t. Newcomers are limited to living in rural AB, SK or MB with communities under 1000 persons where they are free to set up house and businesses to bring those communities back to life. No moving to any of the large cities - income tax proves the address. If the immigrant moves to one of the major cities, it’s 30 day deportation. So come and live in the boonies and make them thrive or you don’t get to come at all. Sound harsh? That’s what the government did to the Europeans who were our grandparents and great grandparents! They got a plot of land in the middle of butt f*ck nowhere and they made it work! This is how immigration should be handled now - you’re free to come after you are appropriately vetted but are limited as to where you can live. Watch THAT self-control immigration issues overnight.
American here. I drove across Canada couple weeks ago from Vancouver to Montreal. I saw homelessness everywhere. I spent the night at Cole Road Rest Stop, just east of Abbotsford, which is not a homeless community of people who couldn't afford housing anymore. Sad.
The flood of immigration is destroying Canada. I'm a senior, born in Canada, and find it increasingly difficult to make ends meet. I would move to another country but can no longer afford this.
You need to find a place to live that is appropriate to your budget, not needs. This guest doesn't seem to understand, people should not be spending more than 50% of their AFTER TAX income to paying rent or carrying a mortgage. To quote the famous Justin Trudeau, " (overpriced) houses must retain their value'. Just this quote alone, should give people pause on why this idiot should continue running this country.
There is no 50% after tax housing anymore. WTF do YOU live that you are spending that little? It sure as heck isn’t in a desirable place. I owned several homes in SK over the years and they were always less than 50% of my take home pay BUT those homes were in the middle of butt f*ck nowhere and I had to drive over an hour to the city to work, for a deadend job.

Doug Ford needs a wake up call. As much as I would hate Trudeau, Fords politics have ruined Ontario. My mum is leaving and we're going back to our ancestral home in England with my nan.
High prices for everything have severely affected my plan. I'm concerned if people who went through the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am having now. The stock market is worrying me as my income has decreased, and I fear I won't have enough savings for retirement since I can't contribute as much as before.
It's recommended to save at least 20% of your income in a 401k. You can use online calculators to estimate how much you should save based on your age and income. Saving at least 20% of your income in a 401(k) can help ensure that you have enough money to retire comfortably. By saving this much, you can take advantage of investing in the stock market and potentially grow your retirement savings over time.
Due to my demanding job, I lack the time to thoroughly assess my investments and analyze individual stocks. Consequently, for the past seven years, I have enlisted the services of a fiduciary who actively manages my portfolio to adapt to the current market conditions. This strategy has allowed me to navigate the financial landscape successfully, making informed decisions on when to buy and sell. Perhaps you should consider a similar approach.
There are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’ Melissa Terri Swayne” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
Thank you for this tip. It was easy to find your coach. Did my due diligence on her before scheduling a phone call with her. She seems proficient considering her resume.
Many younger people, and retirees have and will leave as well, not just newcomers. Trudeau has broken this country, and it will take a lot of time and effort to fix what he has done.
Canada 🇨🇦 is a beautiful country! However, there are a lot of lies told about Canada and the opportunities available. The IRCC needs to be realistic about their immigration policy moving forward.
As a 19yo in Uni in Ontario this whole situation is disheartening. I’d love to live in Canada but when I can buy a house in the US for 1/3rd of the price and make 30% more without paying 40% tax the choice is obvious. I want to go into accounting and really living in Canada is impossible! Both my parents are doctors and have first hand experience talking about how our healthcare is now worse than the US. You wait months for basic care.
This is the outcome of financialized housing that went into overdrive during a decade of 'easy money'. The economy is now largely based on housing and one's lot in life depends on how much housing one's family owns. Worse, housing is a poor productivity driver and high debt loads drain on future growth. Canada's real economy has hollowed out. The cost of Canada's failings on housing is emerging now. Canadian and foreign talent not born to real estate wealth will leave because Canada offers them a poor deal. Who wants to pay $3000 a month for a crappy apartment to live near job centers and earn less than one can make in peer countries? This is not the Canada I grew up in where hard working people had a clear path to prosperity--it's increasingly a feudal state dominated by property owners.
Only 40%? Pump those rookie numbers up! "We have thought of ourselves as the land of milk and honey..." - that there explains your problem. Narcissism.
If you are skilled, you can stay in Canada and suffer the rest of your life, or you can get a job in the USA, move there and get way better health care with the company-paid health-care plan your work will give you, and live in a nicer, larger house that will only cost you a small fraction of what a house will cost you in Canada. and save up enough money to retire early, something that is just not possible in Canada anymore.
The problem started after the 2008 financial crisis and has grown while our federal govt has been terribly ineffective at discovering the problem until it's too late and then not been effective at dealing with it. Honestly, the federal government is out of touch and needs to get out of Ottawa and be 90% spread across this country instead of being so highly concentrated. It needs to be in all communities it serves and it needs to employ all Canadians and not just those who can speak French and English. With respect to more immigration and being the land of milk and honey, I think we need a new healthier diet 😂. Firstly, all provinces need to be able to control their own immigration to meet their needs just as countries do in Europe. Otherwise only Toronto and Vancouver will grow and that's not good for the country as a whole. Give each province the right to control immigration into their province and recognize that a person can be a citizen of a province without having nationwide citizenship (ie. recognize we are a nation of nations just as in the EU). Secondly, if we invest in productive assets we can improve our productivity and not require so many immigrants. Thirdly, we need to first give Canadians an opportunity to afford to raise a family and to have a larger family. Community integration issues and social conflict are then much fewer, and having kids is such a wonderful experience. We have robbed our children of the most wonderful experience. WE NEED TO SERIOUSLY CHANGE TO MAKE LIFE AFFORDABLE FOR OUR CHILDREN! Forget helping other nations deal with their over population problems!!!! My gosh these countries that keep churning out babies are smart enough to do something about it. Only their rich elite don't want to share the wealth with the poor in their country and that seems to be the big driver of population growth as poor people need children for support and the dream that one child might succeed. Help our children first (Sorry if that sounds a bit like MAGA).😊
AB is super expensive, utilities, food, not many jobs here. Rent is crazy here. Calgary is way expensive, think twice before moving to smaller communities.

What about Canadians who can barely afford to live here? Why do we always care more about new arrivals vs Canadians who have been living here their hole lives?
A better way to say it is "Low Living Standards". No doctors, no housing, can't afford food, can't afford gas. 13 hours in the Emergency room. It's a nightmare. It's probably the opposition party's fault.

40% want to go it means they shouldn't have came here in the first place. They came here for the wrong reasons. Instead if coming to be a part of building Canada as a society they came for strictly their own financial gain with no loyalty or desire to be Canadian.

All this needs to be done so we don't become the worlds ATM.

Europe is getting mass third world immigration, too... and the US, and Australia.... It's ALMOST like it's a orchestrated attempt to blend European people out of existence that we're not supposed to notice.
Haha its good luck Europe is even worse
Where you going?
No one can just leave for Europe. Europe is not a country. Almost all EU countries have strict rules for foreigners to move in and usually these rules are substantially more complicated than in Canada.
LOL...all g7 countries are BROKE.
Honestly I’m much more concerned about opportunities for our young people and seniors than I am people who have just moved here.
Lol they voted for this mess 😂
It’s the same thing.
@@coolbuddydude1it may be, but Canadian born people should not be relegated to a footnote in the story. The priorities of concern should be reversed.
Also, it’s not only renters who are stretched. Many home owners have put their life savings into a house and don’t have the capital to make other investments that some renters do
Canada needs more and more low wage workers to pay for the health care and pensions/benefits for the old people.
@@ooc4436 lol importing people.. Is the cheapest way for companies and government.. .. But obviously not for the people living in Canada that have to deal with shithole services and expensive everything.
Welcome to Canada, lower your expectations in life and expect to pay more for everything.
Mass immigration causing high living costs. Mass immigration complaining about high living costs. Pure irony.
Corruption and the government crime and the government bring in their new canadians and to do massive crime
You must be stupid
Yes and no.
It is a factor but a small contribution
One of the main factors is oil price
In 2016-17 you could fill your tank up for about 40 bucks
Now it’s more like 80 bucks
It's not mass immigration. It is poor planning and draconian rules on construction and land use which caused this crisis. The laughably low salaries won't help the situation either.
3rd generation Canadian here and an impoverished senior. The 'Canadian dream' is dead. All that's left is figuring out how so survive another year. It's awful. If you want to come here it's best to bring all the money you need with you. Think twice and maybe think again, there are better places than here.
Where is the perfect country? Our main problem is Trudope's mass immigration
Canadian residents get 2 weeks minimum vacation. But they have family and friends all over the world. How does 2 weeks give anyone incentive to stay here? Yes one works hard, but then they burn out from multiple jobs to pay rent, and not having time to see their family or friends back home. Why would even second generation Canadians want to be productive? Their reward for hard work is not enough time off to recharge and not being able to see their relatives or friends who may be overseas.
Maybe we need to remember life is more than just the hours we put into work, its about making those hours productive so we can take the time off to make time for other things that also matter. Germany and France seem to get it, 4 to 5 weeks seems to be standard there as a I read, and they are much more productive than us since they have something to look forward too. But if Canadians want to be silent and continue to do nothing about fixing our system which we should be able to do in a democracy, maybe they need to relearn the meaning of civil society and democracy.
I served 2 younger working adults from the UK here in the oilpatch they seemed happy, some that come that have zero English skills are going to suffer cause they stay in their groups and don't integrate
Leaving Canada is the best decision … I was born and raised in Ontario but it’s not home anymore … 😢
Agree!!!
I am a born Canadian and I am exploring other living alternatives, other than Canada. I can no longer afford a healthy reasonable quality of life and see no future for my two teenage children. They will never be able to buy a home, both will go into debt to get training for future careers, they probably won't leave my home for a very long time as there are no affordable rentals and somehow I will have to sustain their living for them longer on one salary. Our health is declining because we can not access adequate medical care and afford reasonable healthy groceries. Gas is outrageous and it is difficult to be able to afford to get around the city for appointments, school and work. My son has applied to ample places as a teenager with NOT ONE call back for a part time job. Our city is overwhelmed with newcomers and our infastructure and social services can not sustain the rapid growth. Our government does not listen or respond to the people and give themselves well above the average Canadian salary.
This was a problem 30 years ago when Harper was voted in, how is it any different today?

Trudope needs to stop the mass immigration from India to Canada. That is step one. He needs to ensure Canadians can survive and thrive. Second, you are clearly white. How do I know? Only white people kick their kids out of the house when they’re 18. Other cultures - we can learn from them!! - live under one roof together with their kids and sometimes even with their spouses and children. When families pool their resources, it works better for everyone. Wouldn’t it be easier on you if your children and spouses brought home their money and it was divided between your mortgage, utilities, food and other household expenses? Not to mention, the elders in the home can take care of it and the children (no daycare costs!!). Furthermore, it’s time more jobs can be done remotely - COVID already proved it was possible for many jobs so being “in the office” is not a viable excuse anymore for many careers which saves on gas and transportation expenses. These solutions have worked for other cultures and during COVID. I don’t know why anyone is so stubborn to learn the lessons that work. And get Trudope out of office too - other countries would have overthrown the government by now had that ahole been their leader but all Canadians worry about is hockey and the price of beer! Time to get it together, Canada!
To those thinking about leaving, trust your intuition and have some confidence in your judgements, stop procrastinating and leave, it’s better for Everyone.

Cheap Air Fryer but expensive AF veterinarian care? No thank you. Free health care but no family doctors available? Preventative health care is also non existant. You've got to literally lie to your doctor to get him to run an exam.
The Canadian cost of living is getting way out of hand. All the carbon pricing and green initiatives are killing us. Canada is in the Northern hemisphere and we need fossil fuels to keep us alive in the winters and to get to work. Electric cars are great as a second vehicle if you can afford it. Do not even get me started on our health care system. We cannot serve our current number of citizens let alone letting more people in whom do not pay taxes.

People! Read the news, the cost of living is out of control around the world. Americans are living in their cars, Brits are not turning on their heat, aussies are struggling etc etc, it is not just a Canadian problem. The world is in this together!
No, it is a "global north" problem. Just wait till the Europeans have to start paying market rates for African resources with REAL wealth. The USA did this to themselves. Wars after wars after wars just so the top 0.5% can make a few trillions more.
Except Canada leads the way. My chi worker just sold his 3 bedroom home in Woodstock for 800k. And bought a 5 bedroom home in Kentucky with 2 acres of land for 400k. You tell me which one of those is a better deal. For most it's obvious. For you, it's the same? What level mathematics did you finish?
@@Jacko0_0your talking about boomers. They already own homes, the country is doomed because it’s not progressing, young people will never own homes because wages are the same but houses are 800k. Our country is failing as the older generation dies and the young are left poor, its economic collapse.

Thanks for sharing that information about the world. I love Canada and wouldn't leave. I figure there are endless ways that other countries are worse than Canada. As per the people who say Make Canada Great Again, I suggest they leave Canada because Canada is still great.
What about the younger generations how about them you keep giving all the best jobs to immigrants and we can't move up the ladder either it's impossible to find a freaking job right now.
Many immigrants cannot get hired because they lack "Canadian experience". But the ones that do settle for lesser salaries. There is no way a foriegner engineer/doctor or even a mechanic can get a job in Canada without being liscensed in Canada. But since you are so hurt for Canadian kids, just go to any STEM department in ANY university in Canada and you will rarely find "Canadian" students. Most students in STEM fields in Canadian universities are usually non-whites.
Probably for the best, too many newcomers have entered this country. People who were born here are having a hard enough time.
It’s not zero sum game. Immigrants generally do work that Canadian born wouldn’t touch. Plenty to go around and depends on the location.

I wonder what the best opportunities to invest now are, there are opinions but a little later I find out these opinions don't matter as a totally different turn of events play out with the stocks they discussed therein...
If you’re new to investing or have a more complex financial situation, It can be helpful to work with a financial advisor who can provide personalized guidance and help you make informed investment decisions.
Even with the right technique and assets some investors would still make more than others, as an investor, you should’ve known that by now, nothing beats experience and that’s final, personally I had to reach out to a market analyst for guidance which is how I was able to grow my account close to a million, withdraw my profit right before the correction and now I’m buying again.
That's correct. At first, I wasn't too pleased with my gains compared to my previous performances, I was doing so poorly, I thought I needed to diversify into better assets, so I got in touch with an investment-advisor. That same year, I pulled a net gain of 550k, which is about 10 times more than I average on.
How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financial future and am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success?.
Ethan Grayson is one of the finest portfolio managers in the field. He's widely recognized; you should look him up.
Go home Canada is closed we don’t have housing we don’t have doctors and this is not a place to solve your problems.
It is not THAT easy. Many immigrants that arrive in Canada on a "points" system bring in a lot of money with them. Those who sponsor their close family members have to show enough earnings and have to take responsibility for the sponsored for 10 years. If it is a whole family immigrating, they bring in enough $$ (often close to a million $$) to buy a house/property. The Canadian bankers and the govt win at the end of the day because there is a huge amount of $$ as well as people coming in who will borrow more $$ once here.
@@ooc4436 we do not have the resources to accommodate anymore immigrants. Not enough housing not enough doctors, etc. Canadians are suffering tremendously because too many immigrants were allowed to enter our cost of living is the highest in the world and our income is half the average of Americans.

I can confirm this. As a Canadian born person of unemployed disability, having to use public library computers because I recently sold mine to buy household water, I shared desk space with a Middle East immigrant who was applying for work through an American company to go back to the Middle East as an electrician for the gas sector. Canada is so broken that immigrants are actually trying to leave us, leaving the original population to our own messes.
7 million new people in 7 years… It shouldn’t surprise anyone that this will drive up the cost of everything.
My circle of friends feel that it’s not enjoyable living here. High cost of living with not enough time to enjoy life. Long hours at work and unaffordable housing has pushed young people further out… it’s normal to be driving 20 mins to get groceries and up to 1hr to 1.5h hang out with friends… rather stay home. Leading to feeling isolated and in addition we have very short summers… and very long depressing winters.
Some of our friends found opportunities in the U.S and are getting ready to leave. We’re mid 30s, skilled white collar professionals and Canadian citizens in our prime. Would of been considered upper middle class 10 to 15 years ago. Such a shame, Canada will face a brain drain.
Lastly, the standard of living is decreasing, basic etiquette is being drowned by the influence of immigration…. Where is Canadian culture and values?

Here’s how to stop that sh*t. Newcomers are limited to living in rural AB, SK or MB with communities under 1000 persons where they are free to set up house and businesses to bring those communities back to life. No moving to any of the large cities - income tax proves the address. If the immigrant moves to one of the major cities, it’s 30 day deportation. So come and live in the boonies and make them thrive or you don’t get to come at all. Sound harsh? That’s what the government did to the Europeans who were our grandparents and great grandparents! They got a plot of land in the middle of butt f*ck nowhere and they made it work! This is how immigration should be handled now - you’re free to come after you are appropriately vetted but are limited as to where you can live. Watch THAT self-control immigration issues overnight.

The flood of immigration is destroying Canada. I'm a senior, born in Canada, and find it increasingly difficult to make ends meet. I would move to another country but can no longer afford this.
You need to find a place to live that is appropriate to your budget, not needs. This guest doesn't seem to understand, people should not be spending more than 50% of their AFTER TAX income to paying rent or carrying a mortgage.
To quote the famous Justin Trudeau, " (overpriced) houses must retain their value'. Just this quote alone, should give people pause on why this idiot should continue running this country.
There is no 50% after tax housing anymore. WTF do YOU live that you are spending that little? It sure as heck isn’t in a desirable place. I owned several homes in SK over the years and they were always less than 50% of my take home pay BUT those homes were in the middle of butt f*ck nowhere and I had to drive over an hour to the city to work, for a deadend job.

High prices for everything have severely affected my plan. I'm concerned if people who went through the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am having now. The stock market is worrying me as my income has decreased, and I fear I won't have enough savings for retirement since I can't contribute as much as before.
It's recommended to save at least 20% of your income in a 401k. You can use online calculators to estimate how much you should save based on your age and income. Saving at least 20% of your income in a 401(k) can help ensure that you have enough money to retire comfortably. By saving this much, you can take advantage of investing in the stock market and potentially grow your retirement savings over time.
Due to my demanding job, I lack the time to thoroughly assess my investments and analyze individual stocks. Consequently, for the past seven years, I have enlisted the services of a fiduciary who actively manages my portfolio to adapt to the current market conditions. This strategy has allowed me to navigate the financial landscape successfully, making informed decisions on when to buy and sell. Perhaps you should consider a similar approach.
That's fascinating. How can I contact your Asset-coach as my portfolio is dwindling?
There are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’ Melissa Terri Swayne” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
Thank you for this tip. It was easy to find your coach. Did my due diligence on her before scheduling a phone call with her. She seems proficient considering her resume.

Canada 🇨🇦 is a beautiful country! However, there are a lot of lies told about Canada and the opportunities available. The IRCC needs to be realistic about their immigration policy moving forward.
The cities are gross
As a 19yo in Uni in Ontario this whole situation is disheartening. I’d love to live in Canada but when I can buy a house in the US for 1/3rd of the price and make 30% more without paying 40% tax the choice is obvious. I want to go into accounting and really living in Canada is impossible! Both my parents are doctors and have first hand experience talking about how our healthcare is now worse than the US. You wait months for basic care.
This is the outcome of financialized housing that went into overdrive during a decade of 'easy money'. The economy is now largely based on housing and one's lot in life depends on how much housing one's family owns. Worse, housing is a poor productivity driver and high debt loads drain on future growth. Canada's real economy has hollowed out. The cost of Canada's failings on housing is emerging now. Canadian and foreign talent not born to real estate wealth will leave because Canada offers them a poor deal. Who wants to pay $3000 a month for a crappy apartment to live near job centers and earn less than one can make in peer countries? This is not the Canada I grew up in where hard working people had a clear path to prosperity--it's increasingly a feudal state dominated by property owners.
Only 40%? Pump those rookie numbers up!
"We have thought of ourselves as the land of milk and honey..." - that there explains your problem. Narcissism.
If you are skilled, you can stay in Canada and suffer the rest of your life, or you can get a job in the USA, move there and get way better health care with the company-paid health-care plan your work will give you, and live in a nicer, larger house that will only cost you a small fraction of what a house will cost you in Canada. and save up enough money to retire early, something that is just not possible in Canada anymore.
forget new comers. I have been here 24 years and I am leaving.
The problem started after the 2008 financial crisis and has grown while our federal govt has been terribly ineffective at discovering the problem until it's too late and then not been effective at dealing with it. Honestly, the federal government is out of touch and needs to get out of Ottawa and be 90% spread across this country instead of being so highly concentrated. It needs to be in all communities it serves and it needs to employ all Canadians and not just those who can speak French and English.
With respect to more immigration and being the land of milk and honey, I think we need a new healthier diet 😂. Firstly, all provinces need to be able to control their own immigration to meet their needs just as countries do in Europe. Otherwise only Toronto and Vancouver will grow and that's not good for the country as a whole. Give each province the right to control immigration into their province and recognize that a person can be a citizen of a province without having nationwide citizenship (ie. recognize we are a nation of nations just as in the EU). Secondly, if we invest in productive assets we can improve our productivity and not require so many immigrants. Thirdly, we need to first give Canadians an opportunity to afford to raise a family and to have a larger family. Community integration issues and social conflict are then much fewer, and having kids is such a wonderful experience. We have robbed our children of the most wonderful experience. WE NEED TO SERIOUSLY CHANGE TO MAKE LIFE AFFORDABLE FOR OUR CHILDREN! Forget helping other nations deal with their over population problems!!!! My gosh these countries that keep churning out babies are smart enough to do something about it. Only their rich elite don't want to share the wealth with the poor in their country and that seems to be the big driver of population growth as poor people need children for support and the dream that one child might succeed.
Help our children first (Sorry if that sounds a bit like MAGA).😊
AB is super expensive, utilities, food, not many jobs here. Rent is crazy here. Calgary is way expensive, think twice before moving to smaller communities.
heard the first 18 seconds of what the guy said at the beginning, and a CHORUS went off in my conscience stream... "YOU 40%... PLEASE LEAVE, THANK YOU!!!"
Its so frustrating its hard to buy its hard to rent and harder you work by work second job or doing overtime which is also an hardwork to find one lately...to bring some ease to your life higher the tax cut
How about stop bringing all these people in and giving real Canadians a chance
You cant do that! That racist. You should be grateful to be here. Greatest country in world to live.
Leadership is important 🎉
Alberta has no
Job with high utilities and higher insurance and property tax. Don’t believe the TH-cam. Calgary has the second highest unemployment rate, 8.1% in May . It may be even higher in June.
BC and ON moving to AB, now Albertan are now ready to go to other provinces like SK or MB
What about Canadians who can barely afford to live here? Why do we always care more about new arrivals vs Canadians who have been living here their hole lives?
A better way to say it is "Low Living Standards". No doctors, no housing, can't afford food, can't afford gas. 13 hours in the Emergency room. It's a nightmare. It's probably the opposition party's fault.
High Taxes is another reason, lack of Healthcare etc . Why live here when you can go to Singapore?
No ShXt!!!!!!
We need to pump more in housing.
High rent is the new concern vs over priced groceries
Oh belive me no desire done
and this situation created artificially
Write to your MP and tell them to massively reduce massive immigration before they damage Canada as a whole, damage Canadian services, and Canadian Culture further with pure human bulk.
I got my medical degree and moved from Canada the moment I graduated from my medical residency. Ciao Canada best of luck
Things that never happened.
@@Tomyum19 lmao why are people in so much denial about cad doctors leaving lol. Its hilarious and sad at the same time
@@DolfSmitler Doctors are leaving. You’re just not a doctor.
@@Tomyum19 ok lol. Its weird tho since I do remember studying in ottawa u faculty of medicine and having a cpso number when I was practicing in Ontario. Guess it was a wild dream
@@DolfSmitler Well if you are a doctor it’s really scary that a Yotube troll is treating people.
Did she say she had a ladder shed for rent??
Leave to go where ???
We’re number one ☝️ We’re number one ☝️
well when i bought my first house with my stay at home mom with the kids everyday was a work day either on the worksite or crawling under the vehicles fixing them to get to work living in shithole saving money for a down payment for the house things are tough no doubt but it can be done first get a coffe pot stay away from tims and starbucks line ups is a start
worse part next generation do not have opportunity to finish study -- end of the future for everybody.
40% want to go it means they shouldn't have came here in the first place. They came here for the wrong reasons. Instead if coming to be a part of building Canada as a society they came for strictly their own financial gain with no loyalty or desire to be Canadian. We need to limit and qualify our immigrants better. Why are you coming? Do you have financial means? Are you aware of costs? Weather? Why do you want to be Canadian? All this needs to be done so we don't become the worlds ATM.
On Canada Day, I sat on a beach in BC. Of about 300 people on the beach, fewer than 12 were white. The rest were all shades of brown. Guess who the ones were proudly wearing our Canadian flags on our clothing and waving the Canadian flags? You’re right - NOT ONE of the brown ones! They were playing their bangra BS music and others were smoking hooka. WTF are they here when they don’t even GAF about assimilation or being proud of the country they are guests in? Made me sick to my stomach.
@@bikingD Money talks. The Canadian govt uses a "point system". Those immigrants bring in a lot more $$ than your whole family would earn in a life time. Once here, they see that the return on their investments is not what they were promised so they rightly get angry. There is no loyalty in this world. You would never take a pay cut out of loyalty, why would anyone with a lot more $$ than you do?
@@fluffytail6355
And the legacy of Justin's step-father lives on. He was the one who made it acceptable for immigrants to not assimilate as assimilation was "racist."
And?
2 in 5 want to leave !!!!!. Ignore housing affordability and that number may rise to 4 in 5.
Folks ease up a bit on the leaving stuff! It will change! Canadians must not lose hope! Stay and fight to keep your country free!
Real estate in Nunavut is cheaper
I'm born and raised in Canada (Halifax) and I am planning on emigrating in the near future due to the cost of living and the overall shambles of this nation due to the incompetent Liberals.
I guess you are moving to the US
@@ericlei1799 Very much considering it amongst a couple of other places.
They both clean each others mess Libs and Cons lol
Out out out !
no shit that you feel diff about the economy if you own vs rent your home!
