He’s talking about the Income Tax Act which requires any citizen who wants to permanently leave the country must pay a departure tax on the value of all of their assets, which means you effectively have to liquidate everything you own before you can leave. It’s a big reason why many Canadians leave when they’re young because you never want to acquire assets in Canada. Canada is nothing but elderly retired government employees served by young East Indian and Pakistani immigrants.
Trudeau government wanted to stop citizens and businesses from leaving to the U.S which started to happen very quickly. Super corrupt PM couldn't have this so inserted his authoritarian hostage loyalty program. But all that did was made them leave faster and forever. The devastation and damage that moron has done to Canada will be felt for years. His same legacy as his father it would seem. The biggest people to blame is anyone that voted for the moron in the first place after his father dumped Canada down the drain before.
we sure are. a recent poll showed that 13% of the country would actually prefer to be a 51st state. i'm one of them. There's nothing to be proud of in regards to Canada right now.
51 year old father of teens living in Vancouver. Was a homeowner for 15 years, lost it due to divorce, now putting 80% of my wage towards shelter. The balance gets me less and less every year due to the fallout from the last 10 years of a corrupt and incompetent government.
Fix the Canadian women. Canadian women need to have more kids(won't need to import immigrants). Canadian women need to be family first, ride or die instead of being incentived to break up their families and decapitalize the man who primarily helped them build it. Broken families result in the need more homes, smaller more divided family units, fewer resources and unity between them. Great for government programs, terrible for society, community, economics and culture.
This all started before the liberals took over this has been going on since 2007, and the main cause of it are the greedy banks that caused it and devalued the world's currencies. Both the liberal and the conservatives are equally at fault. Which is why I don't vote for either.
Canada did not have a tax or restrictions on foreign buyers for many many years. So locals were competing with the richest of the world, and in some cases money launderers turning their funny money into a real asset. People paying cash for homes, no negotiating. Canada’s local officials are naive or easily bought, now it’s beyond repair. I imagine this is also what happened in Sydney.
Are locals buying homes now that foreign buyers aren’t allowed to? Toronto condo market has been destroyed. Increasing capital gains tax because ‘everyone can do their part?’ There is no middle class anymore and Trudeau and the Liberal policies have destroyed this country. Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes blindly vote Liberal and the rest of the country has to suffer with their choices because of the poor way our ridings are setup federally. What happened to us? 🇨🇦
As the daughter of a Canadian army veteran, I used to be so proud to be Canadian. What Trudeau has done to our country makes it hard to feel proud these days. Trudeau really needs to go. I stopped voting liberal in the 90's when they decimated our military. I will never vote liberal again.
Please note, Trudeau and the Liberal Members of Parliament. NDP enabled them. Conservatives did not fight hard enough. Not just Trudeau , he's a puppet so are the others. Lack of morals, lack of character, greedy, weak people, also disingenuous, all but a few are liars and are lazy to boot...
The housing market issues has been a problem since the 70's or 80's when the Chinese gov started buying canadian property. The RCMP made a report on it and the canadian gov ignored it and let the problem get worse
I’m a Canadian living in a rural part of the east coast. No one can afford to live right now even if you’re making 100k per year you’re barely scraping by and probably in debt going further and further in the hole as time goes by. The interest rates are insane and price of living has never been higher, while wages have stayed basically the same. Small shitty apartments are 2000$+ a month. Houses that are worth 170k are going for 300k+. This government and the debt they’ve accumulated by senseless spending have wrecked our economy. Healthcare system is totally destroyed. Takes a year or more to get in for an MRI. Not to mention they just increased the country’s population by over 2 million in a couple of years by mass migration and government is paying half the foreigners wages and companies are laying off all their Canadian staff to save on paying employees. Canada has fallen….
Well, Canada has never been successful as a country in the history of it. The last 20 years have been a bubble everyone has been talking about that is now bursting. It'll go back to the way it always was were nobody is interested in investing in Canada and many people will leave. Businesses won't come back for years. The damage has been done just like his father. Nobody learns.
I’m from Halifax and you’re bang on bro. I was lucky enough to buy a home in 2018. I couldn’t afford it now. It’s the only thing I’ve got that keeps me afloat and I make more than 100k per year. You need 2 people working for the family to get by. I only pray the next government can have some solutions to the cost of living problems. All the best bud.
And yet 20% of the population thinks the current fed govt is a national treasure. We can’t say anything to anyone for fear of being charged with hate crime, invaders commute to Canada for govt subsidies,govt jobs, and a chance to step on and then throw a vibrant and sought after passport down the toilet.
i don't like trudeau but you are daft if you think this has only been happening under his government. this shit has been going on in canaduh for decades but you only just noticed cause now it's affecting you. that's the problem in canaduh.
Canadian here-the most accurate depiction of Canada from a Joe Rogan guest in a long time. Not only are you “trapped” living in Canada as the guest described but any capital gains is so heavily tax that, for some, it’s better to leave your investments in place and borrow from those investments while having to pay for whole life insurance and other tax legal shelters just so you have something left for your family when you eventually die. At this point I’m just waiting it out until Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives are in and form a majority.
@@Lovethe416CaTeam very true, in Ontario if your a landlord, you will get absolutely raped by tenants and there’s nothing you can do unless you’re crazy and kick them out yourself, but even then the laws are rigged against you, anyway I had a tenant not pay me rent for over a year, and destroy my house, i’m completely discouraged from being a landlord but if I choose to sell my property, the capital gains is so high now that I’d be paying close to 90 grand just in capital gains alone, so I’m stuck in the middle, do I be a landlord again or sell my house and make peanuts on it after owning it for 15 years? This country provides zero incentive to invest
I'm too old now to move, and never really considered it; but this is not the same country I grew up in, Mr. Trudeau has wrecked most things that were good about Canada. I'm throughly disgusted with the current state of my country.
27 years old. Can also confirm the country is a shithole. Got a trade (carpentry) right out of high school and was able to save a down payment and buy a home, one that at current rates and prices I could never afford. Sometimes I wish I had gotten a degree so I could get off of the sinking ship. My dreams and aspirations have all been reduced to hoping things don't get worse. Have little faith they will get better.
Welcome to the Canadian Soviet Socialist Republic ( CSSR ). I'm losing hope that Canada is beyond any meaningful repair. What Trudy has done in just 10 years is beyond imagination. A weird mxture of anger and despair and hopelessness is manifesting in the country. We are losing the heart and soul of this country.
The funny part is, if Canada was part of the USSR, the Russians would be giving Canada free money to do as it pleases and taxes would be low and military would be strong. Also, homeless and drug dealers would be sent up North to work in gulags
I remember in 2007 when I was working in real estate seeing people buy homes new from builders with the intention of selling before close of escrow to a new buyer for profit. The crash was so brutal and fast that I remember seeing a lot of these units foreclosed on with the builder plastic still on the carpet.
Most people find it difficult to handle a fall since they are used to bull markets, but if you know where to look and how to maneuver, you can make a size-able profit. Depending on how you intend to enter and exit, yes

@@user-xn2wg2oe7s Nothing can be done. The Canadian government is full of left wing people. The left hates everyone else, they what to see Canadians suffer, but if they work for the government they will give themselves good pay and benefits so they will be fine.

But the West wants to be "fair" and will allow ourselves to suffer for foreigners. Everyone will suffer but government and college employees.

Lived and cut my teeth in the lower mainland for 19yrs, then finally woke up and moved back to small town eastern ontario. Work as a sole proprietorship in BC for my last 5 yrs. There is way to many loop homes and money laundering issues in Canada that is tied to foreign investors cleaning up money. Half of the people I knew who were in 5 million plus properties (yes it's very common) were literally registered as "Students" to evade taxes. Then they would clean money up flipping exotic cars and front businesses. Lol. What a lot of people don't realize is that in BC, firat 500k of your mortgage is set at a certain rate, anything after 500k it jumps exponentially into a higher rate. People take out loans to get the down payments on these properties. It's nuts. And you cannot touch anything for under a million in those areas, average is 3 mill. When I moved back to Ontario, I got into a house during Covid at 310k for a nice single family property. Because of our nutty housing crises, our property went from 310k in 2021, to well over 500k in 2024... If we sell now, we have to pay on over 200k just to flog the house! Canada has been fucking destroyed in the last 10 yrs. It's absolutely out of control do to foreign investment and loop holes in our immigration system. It's sad really. I think it will be at least 20 yrs before we "recover", if we ever do.
@@alanj9978 Yes, but only so long as you lived in it. If you bought a house in 1991 for $65k and moved in in 2024 as your primary residence and it's worth $665k that extra $600k is taxed as a capital gain if you ever sell it because it's only for the time you actually live in the house.
@@alanj9978 We can also not write the interest payments, improvements or property tax off of our income tax like they do in the US or when you own a rental property. But if you have a cottage or a secondary home, you will have to pay capital gains on that property without any of the write-offs mentioned earlier.
@@Paul-ew5stit’s actually not funny. Because of trudeau’s carbon tax food is so expensive I have to skip eating completely 3 days/week every single week. It’s that or be homeless
As a Canadian I personally refuse to become financially successful here.(The more I would make, the more they would take) We are punished for working and punished for high income. Im not contributing to feed our politicians children. Id rather continue being broke and suffer borderline starvation on a regular... Leave the country and start from $0 somewhere in the Caribbean.
@@shredandspin its actually very relatable if you live in canada, he is right, this government just takes and takes and takes, and the more you use your brain and try and work hard to make more money, the more the government punishes you for it, it’s crazy, the government does not want you to make it here
I am a Canadian and I am so broke I can't leave and have no money for food. Its not safe at night. There are homeless people trying to find places to keep warm. There are no jobs. Bars are empty. People can't even have relations anymore.
Dont forget to mention the massive taxation on every single thing. Including taxes on taxes. We pay over 50% of our income to taxes and then we have to come up with a million dollars to buy a home.
I went up to Canada and things are more expensive even after the exchange. So something that is $10 in the USA is $14 Canadian after tax and salaries are lower so Canadians working in Canada are paying 40% more for things.
I live in the Vancouver area and it’s no joke. The middle class people are struggling and we are deteriorating quick. I’ve lived here my whole life it’s all I’ve known but I feel like we’re getting forced out. The homeless camps popping up are something I’ve never seen in my life. Growing by the day. We are in need of a change badly, I’m placing hope that Canadians will see how bad it’s gotten and in November 2025 we do the right thing and get Trudeau out of here.
@@theRealLA2023 It's taxes on the fair market value of all assets you hold in Canada. So if you leave and still want to keep a property they assess its fair market value and send you a tax bill for the difference between what you paid and its assessment as a capital gain tax. You don't necessarily sell anything but you'll have to somehow come up with the money to pay the tax.
When you leave, you leave with everything and don't come back. That's the only way to get your money out of Canada and take it somewhere else. All this stupid government did is accelerate it's depression coming. The last thing you want is businesses and people removing all the money in Canada at alarming rates to avoid taxes. This is just the worlds most dumbest thing ever. Hoping the next government gets rid of this asap.
@@donpeltier6059 Living abroad as a Canadian citizen you still have to pay Canadian taxes on income, assuming there's a tax treaty you have to pay the difference between the Canadian and the county your in's tax bracket. So you're still paying money to Canada. Many people do just that and leave Canada without renouncing residency. Don't have to pay an exit tax. It's technically illegal but so is the tax evasion committed by not claiming foreign income so it's whatever.
Another fellow Canadian here - I've been living displaced since 2020. Lost my job, broke my back, now on disability but I'm only paid $1300/month which doesn't even cover rent for anywhere... I wish it was different. I can't survive like this for much longer.
I love Canada but have no respect for our government. I'm on the East Coast. I hear people say the young today will never be able to buy their own home, but I know several young people (under 25) who have bought their first homes in the past three years. No, they are not mansions, and, no, they are not in cities (no one wants to live in a city), but they're starter homes near family. For many, it's all about priorities. These young folks don't buy new vehicles (they fix the old ones they have), they don't have expensive clothes, and they don't vacation on a beach down south. Their expectations are realistic. They wanted a home, saved and work towards that goal. Two couples now have babies. It's a simple life but a great one. As for the cost of living in BC, it's always been expensive. I wouldn't be able to afford it 20 years ago let alone today.
What has been done to our beautiful country is a crime. 20 Years ago, we said no one knows how to run this country and now we’re seriously paying the price. I was born in 1961. I remember when this was One of the best places in the world to live.
I never said that. Anybody who voted for JT has absolutely NO common sense. The country was just fine. You can’t run a country based off your last name
@@427max The people there believe that the greatness of a city is proportional to the home prices as they think everyone wants to move there. It's a pretentious thing that people of the left all seem to have and adore. Seattle is the same way.
I don't know anyone who is proud of it in Vancouver. My wife's parents property is worth a fortune now and they freely admit it is not from their hard work but all the money laundering in Vancouver and buying and selling with foreign money. It doesn't do them any good aside from having higher property taxes and meaning their children can't afford to live anywhere near them. Unless you are in the business of flipping houses or plan on selling and moving to a different place entirely it has no benefit at all. Btw the price of their home went up most around the only Olympics not under the current government
Canadian here. Canada is not the same like I remember. High school late 90 s and early 2000s. It wasn't like the way it is now. The Woke cultural and the immigration is way out of control here now. I don't think there is a going from it. This country is basically in ruins and won't return to its former respect and glory. It's a damn shame.
Another thing I recently learned is that you can’t even get term-length fixed rate mortgages in Canada. Everyone get’s what America would call ARMs where their interest rate adjusts or they need to refi every few years.
@@info781 Tell that to the many folks who had to renew after the Bank of Canada increased interest rates in 2022. The mortgage increase basically used up all our discretionary income. No more nice things like dining out and vacationing abroad. The Bank of Canada has been reducing rates because a big lump of folks must renew in 2025.
I bought my place in 2022 . My mortgage was 1800 a month …… now its 3200 a month . When interest rates were going up i would get letters weekly saying my mortgage is going up ….. now its lowering not a peep!
Harper had nothing to do with it. The world was a different place. Prices still went up under Harper. The US dollar fell because of the great financial crisis, the Canadian dollar did not go up. The cluelessness of people like you is astounding. And Yes I have voted conservative for 40 years, but seriously read a fkn book or something.
Harper surpassed Obamas US dollar at one point. Harper had gas at 75 cents, subway foot long at 5 bucks. Mcdouble $1.29. Bought my 3+1 bedroom semi for 160 000 under Harper. since then all of these items have gone up about 125% (200% in some instances for housing) Wages since then, including my own have gone up roughly 25%. Remember when the Liberals touted that the worlds troubles would be solved if we introduced a 16$/ hour minimum wage (I believe it was 12.50$ at the time) Sorry but you were better off at 12.50 and hour and everything less than half the current cost than 16 dollars and everything more than doubled (tripled on the biggest ticket items like cars)
@@tommyg8570 the US dollar declined, the Canadian dollar did not rise. ALL those items went up in price around the entire planet not just Canada. read a book or something Einstein. Jesus.

Went to visit Canada a few months ago, and it’s kind of absurd how great I have it as an American there. Ate at high end restaurants at a cost that would feel more like Applebees in the states. Canada’s economy is completely screwed thanks to a decade of governance that revolved around running up debt for new free stuff and corporate kickbacks.

This is massively due to rich Chinese/Hong Kong money getting into the country with low barriers.

The Chinese criminal gangs who laundered money through west coast casinos, all while police and government turned a blind eye or actually abetted them, plus the huge influx of Indian and Chinese immegrants from 1984 on, bought up so much real estate so fast and the prices wentthrough the roof.

What he's alluding here is Canadian Tax, your taxed on residency. In the USA, you're taxed on citizenship. There are horrible penalties if you're both a canadian resident and a US citizen. What Derek looks to be planning is going to the states a bit, but maintaining his canadian residency so at least he's taxed only in the canadian tax system. Doing business sucks in Canada.
This is so true and dealing with it now where I have to prove I am not a US Citizen nor have I ever been a citizen in order to get a refund from the IRS for taxes that were paid for having and selling American based stocks.
Convert your Canadian cash to bit coin, renounce your citizenship and move to another country. Convert the bit coin into cash in the new country. The Canadian government won’t be able to tax you when you have zero in the bank.
Can confirm. Canadian businesses are structured around getting around taxes and government regulation, not making money. I didn't realize how insane this was until I made a few American friends. He is exactly right that the system holds you so tight that it is impossible to get out of. I have a friend with a new start up that mainly sells to the states. I've told him to buy property in the US and run the business over there. His wife doesn't want to move but we are 45 minutes from the border, live here work there.
I am Canadian and I have decided to thrive no matter what happens and it is working. Where there is a will, there is a way. I live rurally though so my world is very different than in urban Canada
Same here, in 2017 when the housing market was low for buyers I made a fairly quick decision to downsize into a rural area and purchased land with an inexpensive little house and left a much larger home in the suburbs. I remember at the time so many people thinking we were crazy for "downgrading", but they did not see the big picture at the time, now they sure do! Best decision ever! I have watched my old home resell multiple times since then for double, and triple what I sold it for in under 8years. So glad to be away from all the extra taxes that would have come from owning that larger home. Never been happier in my simple little house with abundant land. I am very fortunate to have miraculously gotten the timing right prior to COVID and everything going down the drain with the economy. I feel for younger folks trying to get into the housing market.
@ great move, it’s been rubbish since 2020/21 after covid ended. A shoebox 3 bed house with 300sqm land 30km from the city, is $1m minimum. Where did you go? This place is miserable and everyone has become zombies just trying to survive

@@RedWolfenstein You mean wanting a better life, lower taxes, and in some instances, living in a no incomes tax state is a bad thing, cheaper cost of living Compared to living in a cesspool, where you can't legally have a concealed weapon, eliminate a criminal who breaks into your home, without being arrested, and forced to go to court, to fight a case of legal self defense? Canada is, and has been a failed state
Someone might say that's racist yet at the same time it is what it is. I don't mind Indians,Chinese, Africans that have some ability to assimilate into the system. However when big cities get overwhelmed with people bringing their culture there and are unwilling to follow and respect a culture of a country they're residing in.. That's not my cup of tea
I would have considered leaving but it really looks like things are on the verge of change for the better. Thank god Canadians are finally waking up the the insanity of things like a carbon tax. Trudeau is the worst thing to ever happen to this beautiful country.

No way was I giving up US residency for that overpriced leftist colony.

Why are Canadians now suddenly vastly outnumbered in overcrowded Canadian cities? Shouldn’t Canadian homes be owned and occupied by Canadians? In Post National Canada there’s 30 million Canadians, 14 million homes and 13 million foreigners occupying Canadian homes. At the current rate Canadians will be a minority in Post National Canada by 2031
Now you have to add on Trudeau’s new arbitrarily calculated Carbon Tax and now we’re getting squeezed just a little bit more. I work two jobs and am recently married and by the last months of the year I’m paying over 40% in income tax. If the government wants to add new taxes they should instead be made to cut that out of the absurd amount they already collect, not rip it out of the hands of the already teetering middle and working class of the country. Im fully supportive of abolishing the income tax or outright seceding from Canada, were too physically large to be ruled by whims of whatever elected baboon sits in a far off province.

I am a canadian Veteran... if someone makes allegations about you....the police can take it full force. 3 years of court...charges dismissed.. I have no record... Went to the border ..and found out they have all on their system even though charges dismissed. 5 years minimum to ask for them to remove and they can say no. So here i sit in an open air canadian prison. I spent every penny on huge parcel of land...that the gov can take if i cant make up taxes yearly... So do i really own it? I live off grid and just owe on a truck which costs me 1k a month and 200.00 a month for insurance. Ive driven accident free for a decade. I would love to move but sadly its not much better everywhere else either. ❤ i try to live the free life we dream about as best i can so that it will be a reality for many more one day.❤
Just remember that there is a significant difference between the cost of living in Vancouver compared to any other major city in Canada. Vancouver cost of real estate has gone hand in hand with Asian investment money into the province. Very few Canadians in any other city would argue with you on your points regarding Vancouver and the rest of BC as they levy additional carbon taxes and provincial taxes that do make living in that province very expensive. BC stands for BRING CASH . It’s a big country that has plenty to offer outside British Columbia.
It's still expensive as sin almost evrywhere, even in bumbf8ck nowhere, toronto is almost as expensive as vancouver, and everywhere else is also crazy expensive. that is the thing if you find somewhere that is actually not expensive, it will actually have NOTHING to offer, including work.
I use to be able to save 200-300 dollars every month, only a couple years ago, now my account sometimes goes into the negative at the end of the month. and I eat even less now than I use to, its just the cost of groceries has tripled amongst other things I don't know how much longer I can survive like this especially if it gets any worse
Yeah Canada truly sucks. The biggest driver of gdp is real estate. This has led to insanely unaffordable housing. Unless you want to live far away from everything, an old starting home will cost 400-500k. And that won't be a nice house. Wages have also stagnated and are worth 0.70 to USD and we are taxed heavily. Also the wealth inequality is terrible where most wealth is held by people 40 years old and up. Most young people are already living paycheck to paycheck and have zero chance of financially being independent. I think around 60% of young adults are dependent on their parents financially.
Canadian here, who lived in the U.S. for 20 years (adolescence to late 30’s), and back in Canada since last ten years. A beautiful country that’s been getting ruined by terrible Liberal “leadership” and policies, and where citizens are punished for doing well- taxes are insanely high (espec. in Quebec- 15% sales tax, for eg.), the dollar is in the toilet, and in Quebec the gov. has literal “language racism” laws in place (which they justify by saying they’re trying to preserve the culture)- but people are numbed out by the supposed “hand outs” or “social services”, as they’re called, and seemingly constrained by this weird “must be nice and have to comply”aspect of the culture that appears to be baked in here. Re. the medical system, sure, some good things about it, but try getting a family doctor here, and if you’re so lucky to get one, you’ll wait ages for an appt. (I made one today- soonest available: 2 months from now). And ER waits are crazy long- I’ll spare you the stories. Montreal is a beautiful and even cool city, but for some reason, the street work and construction appears to be never ending, the detour signs seem designed to lead you nowhere in particular, and the roads remain some of the worst in the world, no joke- feels like you’re driving through a war torn country half the time, like the asphalt has been torn up by bombs and mortars. Just heard the premier (governor) in Quebec is trying to make it illegal to “pray in public”. And I’m not against immigration by any means, but within reason guys- so many new people and not enough housing, and without any intention of necessarily assimilating (except being forced to learn french and to let them turn your kids into French Canadians, again, speaking “in Quebec”- literally no choice but to send their kids to french schools). Sucks cause it’s a nice place, overall, with mostly very nice people. Oh Canada.
Unlike all other countries with the exceptions of Eritrea and Hungary (with caveats), the United States taxes its citizens on worldwide income, even if they are a permanent resident in another country.[12] To deter tax avoidance by abandonment of citizenship, the United States imposes an expatriation tax on high-net-worth and high-income individuals who give up U.S. citizenship. The tax also applies to lawful permanent residents or green-card holders who are considered "long-term residents." The Internal Revenue Code defines a long-term resident as any individual who is a lawful permanent resident of the United States in at least 8 taxable years during the period of 15 taxable years ending with the taxable year during which the expatriation occurs.[13]
I’m doing well in Canada and most people I know are doing well, but I do agree Canada under Justin had 10 years of complete incompetence. Canada with a population runs a national debt of $1.4 trillion, last week I was in Singapore and I found out that a country with 5.8 million people has a trust fund of $1 trillion. It just shows how screwed up Canada, the USA and western Europe really is.
Canada has become a buffet table for the wealthy and the elite..That buffet table is supported by the lower and middle class, and they aren't invited. It's nearly impossible to get ahead in this country. Our weak governments have sold us out to corporations and have destroyed our ability to be self-sufficient as a nation. We are rich in natural resources, but we act as if we are a poor country with no resources and no investment. The major industry here has shifted to real estate, and it only favors the wealthy. Every day in my mind, I'm trying to plan my escape.
Trudolf is now talking about taking firearms from Canadian's, restricting everything and sending it all to the greatest sales con in history Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

I retired early in Canada. I love to travel to other countries but like to come home to Canada. For the clean air and open spaces. But if I was in my 20’s and starting out I’d move to USA or overseas and try to work remotely.Trudeau sucks tho.
I’m a Canadian, former Liberal voter… And I can tell you most Canadians have no idea how truly fucked we are.

The gap between haves and have nots has never been greater.

Because they spend all their time pretending to be superior to Americans. They don't have time to face their own problems.
They are more worried about America's problems than their own.
But the difference between rich and poor was buying your house at least twenty years ago?
He’s talking about the Income Tax Act which requires any citizen who wants to permanently leave the country must pay a departure tax on the value of all of their assets, which means you effectively have to liquidate everything you own before you can leave. It’s a big reason why many Canadians leave when they’re young because you never want to acquire assets in Canada. Canada is nothing but elderly retired government employees served by young East Indian and Pakistani immigrants.
Yet as an American, I’m taxed on my income and job benefits, no matter what country I reside. Their ain’t no hiding from uncle Sam
@ The difference is you can get rich in America. And if you’re rich in America, you’re rich everywhere.
Very true❤
Trudeau government wanted to stop citizens and businesses from leaving to the U.S which started to happen very quickly. Super corrupt PM couldn't have this so inserted his authoritarian hostage loyalty program. But all that did was made them leave faster and forever. The devastation and damage that moron has done to Canada will be felt for years. His same legacy as his father it would seem. The biggest people to blame is anyone that voted for the moron in the first place after his father dumped Canada down the drain before.
What absolute nonsense
Canada is a totally demoralized country right now.
Yup, totally worth starting over from scratch.
Ripe for a swift annexation.

Vancouver was crazy when I lived there a decade ago, it has only gotten worse.
Damn that’s rough.
Fix the Canadian women. Canadian women need to have more kids(won't need to import immigrants). Canadian women need to be family first, ride or die instead of being incentived to break up their families and decapitalize the man who primarily helped them build it. Broken families result in the need more homes, smaller more divided family units, fewer resources and unity between them. Great for government programs, terrible for society, community, economics and culture.
This all started before the liberals took over this has been going on since 2007, and the main cause of it are the greedy banks that caused it and devalued the world's currencies. Both the liberal and the conservatives are equally at fault. Which is why I don't vote for either.
Yet you voted the ndp back🤣
Canada did not have a tax or restrictions on foreign buyers for many many years. So locals were competing with the richest of the world, and in some cases money launderers turning their funny money into a real asset. People paying cash for homes, no negotiating. Canada’s local officials are naive or easily bought, now it’s beyond repair. I imagine this is also what happened in Sydney.
We will be a China soon
That’s true.
Thanks harper
@@carterdrake6220 It is true that this also happened under Harper. It’s not a liberal thing.
Are locals buying homes now that foreign buyers aren’t allowed to? Toronto condo market has been destroyed. Increasing capital gains tax because ‘everyone can do their part?’ There is no middle class anymore and Trudeau and the Liberal policies have destroyed this country. Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes blindly vote Liberal and the rest of the country has to suffer with their choices because of the poor way our ridings are setup federally. What happened to us? 🇨🇦
As the daughter of a Canadian army veteran, I used to be so proud to be Canadian. What Trudeau has done to our country makes it hard to feel proud these days. Trudeau really needs to go. I stopped voting liberal in the 90's when they decimated our military. I will never vote liberal again.
Please note, Trudeau and the Liberal Members of Parliament. NDP enabled them. Conservatives did not fight hard enough. Not just Trudeau , he's a puppet so are the others. Lack of morals, lack of character, greedy, weak people, also disingenuous, all but a few are liars and are lazy to boot...
Harper and the Cons never did that much for them either.
Sad but 100% true!
This started under Harper though…
The housing market issues has been a problem since the 70's or 80's when the Chinese gov started buying canadian property. The RCMP made a report on it and the canadian gov ignored it and let the problem get worse
I’m a Canadian living in a rural part of the east coast. No one can afford to live right now even if you’re making 100k per year you’re barely scraping by and probably in debt going further and further in the hole as time goes by. The interest rates are insane and price of living has never been higher, while wages have stayed basically the same. Small shitty apartments are 2000$+ a month. Houses that are worth 170k are going for 300k+. This government and the debt they’ve accumulated by senseless spending have wrecked our economy. Healthcare system is totally destroyed. Takes a year or more to get in for an MRI. Not to mention they just increased the country’s population by over 2 million in a couple of years by mass migration and government is paying half the foreigners wages and companies are laying off all their Canadian staff to save on paying employees. Canada has fallen….
Well, Canada has never been successful as a country in the history of it. The last 20 years have been a bubble everyone has been talking about that is now bursting. It'll go back to the way it always was were nobody is interested in investing in Canada and many people will leave. Businesses won't come back for years. The damage has been done just like his father. Nobody learns.
I’m from Halifax and you’re bang on bro. I was lucky enough to buy a home in 2018. I couldn’t afford it now. It’s the only thing I’ve got that keeps me afloat and I make more than 100k per year. You need 2 people working for the family to get by. I only pray the next government can have some solutions to the cost of living problems. All the best bud.
And yet 20% of the population thinks the current fed govt is a national treasure. We can’t say anything to anyone for fear of being charged with hate crime, invaders commute to Canada for govt subsidies,govt jobs, and a chance to step on and then throw a vibrant and sought after passport down the toilet.

Canadian here-the most accurate depiction of Canada from a Joe Rogan guest in a long time. Not only are you “trapped” living in Canada as the guest described but any capital gains is so heavily tax that, for some, it’s better to leave your investments in place and borrow from those investments while having to pay for whole life insurance and other tax legal shelters just so you have something left for your family when you eventually die. At this point I’m just waiting it out until Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives are in and form a majority.
I hope you kick Trudeau to the curb very soon.
Get the guns back. They want to disarm the legal citizens and uparm the Ukraine

@@Lovethe416CaTeam very true, in Ontario if your a landlord, you will get absolutely raped by tenants and there’s nothing you can do unless you’re crazy and kick them out yourself, but even then the laws are rigged against you, anyway I had a tenant not pay me rent for over a year, and destroy my house, i’m completely discouraged from being a landlord but if I choose to sell my property, the capital gains is so high now that I’d be paying close to 90 grand just in capital gains alone, so I’m stuck in the middle, do I be a landlord again or sell my house and make peanuts on it after owning it for 15 years? This country provides zero incentive to invest
Pierre’s a dweeb too
CANADA IS DOOMED COSTS TO MUCH
I'm too old now to move, and never really considered it; but this is not the same country I grew up in, Mr. Trudeau has wrecked most things that were good about Canada. I'm throughly disgusted with the current state of my country.

You can't move. Every country has strict immigration laws. Unless you aren't actually a Canadian then you can claim migrant status refugee etc.

Have little faith they will get better.

Lived and cut my teeth in the lower mainland for 19yrs, then finally woke up and moved back to small town eastern ontario. Work as a sole proprietorship in BC for my last 5 yrs. There is way to many loop homes and money laundering issues in Canada that is tied to foreign investors cleaning up money. Half of the people I knew who were in 5 million plus properties (yes it's very common) were literally registered as "Students" to evade taxes. Then they would clean money up flipping exotic cars and front businesses. Lol. What a lot of people don't realize is that in BC, firat 500k of your mortgage is set at a certain rate, anything after 500k it jumps exponentially into a higher rate. People take out loans to get the down payments on these properties. It's nuts. And you cannot touch anything for under a million in those areas, average is 3 mill. When I moved back to Ontario, I got into a house during Covid at 310k for a nice single family property. Because of our nutty housing crises, our property went from 310k in 2021, to well over 500k in 2024... If we sell now, we have to pay on over 200k just to flog the house!
Canada has been fucking destroyed in the last 10 yrs. It's absolutely out of control do to foreign investment and loop holes in our immigration system. It's sad really. I think it will be at least 20 yrs before we "recover", if we ever do.

I would like to thank the Canadian Government for making more off my business's than i did last year, good job guys.
I went up to Canada and things are more expensive even after the exchange. So something that is $10 in the USA is $14 Canadian after tax and salaries are lower so Canadians working in Canada are paying 40% more for things.
30% conversion rate plus tax
I live in the Vancouver area and it’s no joke. The middle class people are struggling and we are deteriorating quick.

Can you provide any High level detail on this? Fellow Canadian here, and really curious out this, Thanks.
@@theRealLA2023 It's taxes on the fair market value of all assets you hold in Canada. So if you leave and still want to keep a property they assess its fair market value and send you a tax bill for the difference between what you paid and its assessment as a capital gain tax. You don't necessarily sell anything but you'll have to somehow come up with the money to pay the tax.
When you leave, you leave with everything and don't come back. That's the only way to get your money out of Canada and take it somewhere else. All this stupid government did is accelerate it's depression coming. The last thing you want is businesses and people removing all the money in Canada at alarming rates to avoid taxes. This is just the worlds most dumbest thing ever. Hoping the next government gets rid of this asap.
That’s insane…why not just keep your Canadian citizenship and live elsewhere, only returning to renew your IDs?
@@donpeltier6059 Living abroad as a Canadian citizen you still have to pay Canadian taxes on income, assuming there's a tax treaty you have to pay the difference between the Canadian and the county your in's tax bracket. So you're still paying money to Canada.
Many people do just that and leave Canada without renouncing residency. Don't have to pay an exit tax. It's technically illegal but so is the tax evasion committed by not claiming foreign income so it's whatever.
Another fellow Canadian here - I've been living displaced since 2020. Lost my job, broke my back, now on disability but I'm only paid $1300/month which doesn't even cover rent for anywhere... I wish it was different. I can't survive like this for much longer.

I love Canada but have no respect for our government. I'm on the East Coast. I hear people say the young today will never be able to buy their own home, but I know several young people (under 25) who have bought their first homes in the past three years. No, they are not mansions, and, no, they are not in cities (no one wants to live in a city), but they're starter homes near family. For many, it's all about priorities. These young folks don't buy new vehicles (they fix the old ones they have), they don't have expensive clothes, and they don't vacation on a beach down south. Their expectations are realistic. They wanted a home, saved and work towards that goal. Two couples now have babies. It's a simple life but a great one. As for the cost of living in BC, it's always been expensive. I wouldn't be able to afford it 20 years ago let alone today.
What has been done to our beautiful country is a crime. 20 Years ago, we said no one knows how to run this country and now we’re seriously paying the price. I was born in 1961. I remember when this was One of the best places in the world to live.

I bought a duplex in 2015 for 400 000$ and in 2024 it's worth 800 000$, Trudeau destroyed the Canadian dream.
Canada is cooked.
The funny part is that everyone in Vancouver is proud of the insane prices. They wear it with a badge of honour. Same thing in the Seattle area.
It's the most overrated city in Canada by a mile . Everything about the place is phoney .
Homeowners (boomers) in Seattle act like royalty even thought they bought a house in the 90's with their mediocre job. It's fascinating to see.
What are you talking about ? Very confused and not being rude but could you explain?
@@427max The people there believe that the greatness of a city is proportional to the home prices as they think everyone wants to move there. It's a pretentious thing that people of the left all seem to have and adore. Seattle is the same way.
I don't know anyone who is proud of it in Vancouver. My wife's parents property is worth a fortune now and they freely admit it is not from their hard work but all the money laundering in Vancouver and buying and selling with foreign money. It doesn't do them any good aside from having higher property taxes and meaning their children can't afford to live anywhere near them. Unless you are in the business of flipping houses or plan on selling and moving to a different place entirely it has no benefit at all.
Btw the price of their home went up most around the only Olympics not under the current government
Canadian here. Canada is not the same like I remember. High school late 90 s and early 2000s. It wasn't like the way it is now. The Woke cultural and the immigration is way out of control here now. I don't think there is a going from it. This country is basically in ruins and won't return to its former respect and glory. It's a damn shame.
Another thing I recently learned is that you can’t even get term-length fixed rate mortgages in Canada. Everyone get’s what America would call ARMs where their interest rate adjusts or they need to refi every few years.
Fortunately interest rates have stayed low and they are going lower in Canada.
@@info781 Tell that to the many folks who had to renew after the Bank of Canada increased interest rates in 2022. The mortgage increase basically used up all our discretionary income. No more nice things like dining out and vacationing abroad. The Bank of Canada has been reducing rates because a big lump of folks must renew in 2025.

I remember the good old day's when things we're affordable and Harper Government had the dollar pretty much at par with the U.S.
Harper had nothing to do with it. The world was a different place. Prices still went up under Harper. The US dollar fell because of the great financial crisis, the Canadian dollar did not go up. The cluelessness of people like you is astounding. And Yes I have voted conservative for 40 years, but seriously read a fkn book or something.
Harper surpassed Obamas US dollar at one point. Harper had gas at 75 cents, subway foot long at 5 bucks. Mcdouble $1.29. Bought my 3+1 bedroom semi for 160 000 under Harper. since then all of these items have gone up about 125% (200% in some instances for housing) Wages since then, including my own have gone up roughly 25%. Remember when the Liberals touted that the worlds troubles would be solved if we introduced a 16$/ hour minimum wage (I believe it was 12.50$ at the time) Sorry but you were better off at 12.50 and hour and everything less than half the current cost than 16 dollars and everything more than doubled (tripled on the biggest ticket items like cars)

As a Canadian, the country has gone to shit and honestly people only have themselves to blame for continuing to tolerate the declining circumstances across housing, terrible healthcare, rampant immigration, increasing crime and fraud. All of the potential in the world with our natural resources but we generally squander it through poor leadership and acceptance of mediocrity.
Sooner I can get a job in the US the better.

Went to visit Canada a few months ago, and it’s kind of absurd how great I have it as an American there. Ate at high end restaurants at a cost that would feel more like Applebees in the states. Canada’s economy is completely screwed thanks to a decade of governance that revolved around running up debt for new free stuff and corporate kickbacks.

This is massively due to rich Chinese/Hong Kong money getting into the country with low barriers.

And when rent goes up prices on everything goes up.

They would have todownsize or move to another place, which may not be possible if theyarecaring for aged parents, if they have health issues that say, only their big city hospitals can treat, or social connections, friends, family, church. Its not thatbla7ckand white. I get it, I too wish I could have my own house. Especially, to a have garden! Before 1984 you could buy a decent 3 bedroom house in Toronto for $90,000. In 1986 rent on our 4 bedroom townhouse with finished basement and fireplace, a garage and shared pool in High Park ( a desireable neighborhood) was still only $1200 . The Chinese criminal gangs who laundered money through west coast casinos, all while police and government turned a blind eye or actually abetted them, plus the huge influx of Indian and Chinese immegrants from 1984 on, bought up so much real estate so fast and the prices wentthrough the roof. When Vancouver got too expensive they move easr to Toronto. Read Wilfull Blindness for the whole story. Wilful Blindness: How a network of narcos, tycoons and CCP agents infiltrated the West .

What he's alluding here is Canadian Tax, your taxed on residency. In the USA, you're taxed on citizenship. There are horrible penalties if you're both a canadian resident and a US citizen. What Derek looks to be planning is going to the states a bit, but maintaining his canadian residency so at least he's taxed only in the canadian tax system. Doing business sucks in Canada.
This is so true and dealing with it now where I have to prove I am not a US Citizen nor have I ever been a citizen in order to get a refund from the IRS for taxes that were paid for having and selling American based stocks.
Convert your Canadian cash to bit coin, renounce your citizenship and move to another country. Convert the bit coin into cash in the new country. The Canadian government won’t be able to tax you when you have zero in the bank.
As a former Canadian, I'm so endlessly thankful we moved (read, escaped) when I was a kid. Canada just sounds like a communist country now.
Can confirm. Canadian businesses are structured around getting around taxes and government regulation, not making money. I didn't realize how insane this was until I made a few American friends. He is exactly right that the system holds you so tight that it is impossible to get out of. I have a friend with a new start up that mainly sells to the states. I've told him to buy property in the US and run the business over there. His wife doesn't want to move but we are 45 minutes from the border, live here work there.
I am Canadian and I have decided to thrive no matter what happens and it is working. Where there is a will, there is a way. I live rurally though so my world is very different than in urban Canada
Same here, in 2017 when the housing market was low for buyers I made a fairly quick decision to downsize into a rural area and purchased land with an inexpensive little house and left a much larger home in the suburbs. I remember at the time so many people thinking we were crazy for "downgrading", but they did not see the big picture at the time, now they sure do! Best decision ever! I have watched my old home resell multiple times since then for double, and triple what I sold it for in under 8years. So glad to be away from all the extra taxes that would have come from owning that larger home. Never been happier in my simple little house with abundant land. I am very fortunate to have miraculously gotten the timing right prior to COVID and everything going down the drain with the economy. I feel for younger folks trying to get into the housing market.
That's the kind of attitude that got us where we are

There is literally no excuse for housing to cost so much in Canada, where there is space and lumber aplenty.
An ex-GF wanted me to immigrate to Canada back in the early 2000s when home prices in Ontario were already ridiculous. One friend had just bought a typical (small) rowhouse in a gentrifying neighborhood for $250K that sold for close to $1.5 million in 2020. No way was I giving up US residency for that overpriced leftist colony.

Now you have to add on Trudeau’s new arbitrarily calculated Carbon Tax and now we’re getting squeezed just a little bit more.
I work two jobs and am recently married and by the last months of the year I’m paying over 40% in income tax. If the government wants to add new taxes they should instead be made to cut that out of the absurd amount they already collect, not rip it out of the hands of the already teetering middle and working class of the country.
Im fully supportive of abolishing the income tax or outright seceding from Canada, were too physically large to be ruled by whims of whatever elected baboon sits in a far off province.
Climate change being g die to fossil fuels is a crock, absolute lie: a Victorian guy named "Maunder" discovered this climate * cycle " when solar activity is at an absolute minimum ("Maunder Minimum"). CO2 up, methane up, earthquakes up, Temps up, poles melt and the. MINI ICE AGE. Not Water World.
And they all know it, these Greta Pollyanas are all buying up costal property like crazy while they preach the coming sinking if the planet (e.g., Obama).

Just remember that there is a significant difference between the cost of living in Vancouver compared to any other major city in Canada. Vancouver cost of real estate has gone hand in hand with Asian investment money into the province. Very few Canadians in any other city would argue with you on your points regarding Vancouver and the rest of BC as they levy additional carbon taxes and provincial taxes that do make living in that province very expensive. BC stands for BRING CASH .
It’s a big country that has plenty to offer outside British Columbia.
It's still expensive as sin almost evrywhere, even in bumbf8ck nowhere, toronto is almost as expensive as vancouver, and everywhere else is also crazy expensive. that is the thing if you find somewhere that is actually not expensive, it will actually have NOTHING to offer, including work.
I use to be able to save 200-300 dollars every month, only a couple years ago, now my account sometimes goes into the negative at the end of the month. and I eat even less now than I use to, its just the cost of groceries has tripled amongst other things I don't know how much longer I can survive like this especially if it gets any worse
Yeah Canada truly sucks. The biggest driver of gdp is real estate. This has led to insanely unaffordable housing. Unless you want to live far away from everything, an old starting home will cost 400-500k. And that won't be a nice house. Wages have also stagnated and are worth 0.70 to USD and we are taxed heavily. Also the wealth inequality is terrible where most wealth is held by people 40 years old and up. Most young people are already living paycheck to paycheck and have zero chance of financially being independent. I think around 60% of young adults are dependent on their parents financially.
your bang on ,any young kids should leave these country ASAP. It has been turned into a 3rd world country.
Canadian here, who lived in the U.S. for 20 years (adolescence to late 30’s), and back in Canada since last ten years. A beautiful country that’s been getting ruined by terrible Liberal “leadership” and policies, and where citizens are punished for doing well- taxes are insanely high (espec. in Quebec- 15% sales tax, for eg.), the dollar is in the toilet, and in Quebec the gov. has literal “language racism” laws in place (which they justify by saying they’re trying to preserve the culture)- but people are numbed out by the supposed “hand outs” or “social services”, as they’re called, and seemingly constrained by this weird “must be nice and have to comply”aspect of the culture that appears to be baked in here. Re. the medical system, sure, some good things about it, but try getting a family doctor here, and if you’re so lucky to get one, you’ll wait ages for an appt. (I made one today- soonest available: 2 months from now). And ER waits are crazy long- I’ll spare you the stories.
Montreal is a beautiful and even cool city, but for some reason, the street work and construction appears to be never ending, the detour signs seem designed to lead you nowhere in particular, and the roads remain some of the worst in the world, no joke- feels like you’re driving through a war torn country half the time, like the asphalt has been torn up by bombs and mortars. Just heard the premier (governor) in Quebec is trying to make it illegal to “pray in public”. And I’m not against immigration by any means, but within reason guys- so many new people and not enough housing, and without any intention of necessarily assimilating (except being forced to learn french and to let them turn your kids into French Canadians, again, speaking “in Quebec”- literally no choice but to send their kids to french schools).
Sucks cause it’s a nice place, overall, with mostly very nice people.
Oh Canada.
Unlike all other countries with the exceptions of Eritrea and Hungary (with caveats), the United States taxes its citizens on worldwide income, even if they are a permanent resident in another country.[12] To deter tax avoidance by abandonment of citizenship, the United States imposes an expatriation tax on high-net-worth and high-income individuals who give up U.S. citizenship. The tax also applies to lawful permanent residents or green-card holders who are considered "long-term residents." The Internal Revenue Code defines a long-term resident as any individual who is a lawful permanent resident of the United States in at least 8 taxable years during the period of 15 taxable years ending with the taxable year during which the expatriation occurs.[13]
I’m doing well in Canada and most people I know are doing well, but I do agree Canada under Justin had 10 years of complete incompetence. Canada with a population runs a national debt of $1.4 trillion, last week I was in Singapore and I found out that a country with 5.8 million people has a trust fund of $1 trillion. It just shows how screwed up Canada, the USA and western Europe really is.

We are rich in natural resources, but we act as if we are a poor country with no resources and no investment. The major industry here has shifted to real estate, and it only favors the wealthy.
