Canada has always been pretty on the outside and dirty on the inside. Now it has been rendered painfully raw due to exacerbating circumstances. Corrupt...but with a smile and a handshake. Poor, but looks rich. Racist, but acts openly diverse. Claims compassion, but kills citizens medically and gives narcotics to addicts instead of treatment options. Free medical care that is not free in any way, nor is it health care unless you can afford to seek care abroad. Speaks morally, but lacks morals. Canada exquisitely demonstrates hypocrisy!
Well said Canadians lack a sense of self awareness and have no problem doing and saying to others things they wouldn’t be able to handle themselves with out some exclamation or angry response I’m trying to leave myself cause I’m surprised I was born in the same country as these people
I feel amazed at the accuracy of what you state here! Thank you so much for the summary, I will always refer to it! Sometimes we live in our own small world and we dont acknowledge the raw truth which stares right in our faces! Most people live thinking "hey, others are doing it, so will I"! which is so wrong. Boy, this is so true!
13 years since I arrived in Canada, can’t agree more. It’s insane and people keep voting and choosing for the same, I don’t understand. I find it crazy that the metro pass tax credits got taken out during that time while give expensive EVs subsidies plus free charging (i.e. if you got money to get on that, then you get rewarded, while the people on foot get shafted and pay with their taxes for things they can’t afford). And let’s not get into real estate, food and whatnot… I’m starting to see even Canadian Tire stores having insane security (like tourniquets that won’t roll except if the cashier presses a button so people don’t run away with things). Not a single brick is thrown, so I guess we deserve it…
Boomers I talk to are still saying it is just young people that are all lazy and stupid and caused all these problems. They also say the problems don't exist. Whatever you do don't point out the contradiction.
The Canada I grew up in is gone! I feel sorry for people coming here thinking they’ll get the 30+yr old Canada they’ve been sold. So many newcomers I’ve met want to leave…..so do i
@@gwarlow Most people wanting to leave Canada are no longer looking to what used to be considered a 1st world country. Great Britain is worse off than Canada. The US is a bit better, but is also imploding because of government policy (open borders etc). Older middle class people who want to preserve the small amount of wealth they've worked their entire lives for can easily afford to leave this sinking ship. Staying in Canada under "progressive" socialists governments will seriously erode those savings. It's unfortunate, but as more people leave so does their wealth which makes the situation in Canada even worse. Canadians have done this to themselves. Being educated on who we vote for should be a priority and as we've seen has serious consequences. I've saved and invested for 41 years and very close to retirement and have been looking at South or Central America. I visited Costa Rica last summer. It's a beautiful country and it's on my radar. I'm not going to idly sit by while a "progressive" government takes everything I've worked hard for.
@@petervalovic5504 I grew up here, but i moved to Romania last year and while I agree each country has its pros and cons. I can atleast buy a house now
Better leave sooner than later because the Trudeau liberals are doubling the emigration tax penalty and tacking on an additional $25,000 on top of that to stop you from leaving. You'll have to pay $35,000 out of pocket to emigrate to ANY other country. You are about to be taken hostage by your government. Soon your only option will be to illegally hop the border after liquidating everything you own and slowly converting it to USD and working under the table just like the south americans. I dont know how much more Canadians can take before they stage a coup.
I'm an immigrant myself, I came here (GTA) in my early 20's in 1992 from Eastern Europe and started with nothing, I've done well financially, but only because I got into real estate very early, when things were affordable. Here are my random thoughts: 1. Canadian dream died suddenly, 6-8 years ago you could still buy townhouse or a semi in GTA for half a million, then things took off, prices doubled and an entry level in Toronto is now $1M, why? - central banks policies to ARTIFICIALLY keep interest rates at zero led to asset bubbles, stocks, real estate, if you got on the train you benefited, but if you had no assets to invest you got poorer and poorer. It applies to most of the developed world - foreign money inflows, money laundering: Canada is a small market, we're talking couple of big cities, Vancouver, Toronto, it is easy to be distorted. You have Chinese, Middle East, Russian money flowing in and getting parked in housing. I personally met a Chinese man who owns at least dozen houses in Toronto and 3 cottages. On my street alone I counted at least 5 detached homes that are 'investment rentals' all in the range of $1.6M, owned by overseas investors. Vancouver is practically owned my mainland China, nobody is doing anything to control that, why not? It wouldn't be nice, would it be racist? - government turned a blind eye to massive speculation, house flipping etc. Flippers made fortunes speculating, why work when you can make few hundred thousands doing nothing? Why hasn't the government done anything about it, tax the speculators to death etc?? 2. Uncontrolled immigration, infrastructure like roads, public housing, hospitals are all lagging behind, you can't bring millions of people here and have no place for them to live. Do you see any affordable rental units being built? All I see are million dollars condos. Totally insane, Trudeau is a disaster 3. Crime is on the rise, car thefts, house breake-ins. Not too long ago you could leave you car unlocked and now? 4. Unfortunately Canada is not alone, if you look at Europe most countries struggle with the same problems, open borders led to housing shortages, high rents etc. The list of countries that are good is getting shorter 5. Is Canada a good place to immigrate to? Absolutely not, if you're a professional you should not come here, your chance of making a better living at your own country is higher, in Canada fulfilling career path maybe only a dream, you will always be an ESL and will have disadvantages (like communication skills etc..) that will hinder your advancement. Besides, cost of living is so high that even when making six figures you will still be a debt slave, because most of your money will go to taxes. 6. Who can still come here? Unskilled labor, if you come from a poor 3rd world country there are still jobs (trades, truck driving etc) that can pay you enough to live better life than back home. 7. I don't know what advice to give to people. There was a time when I was coming back to Canada after visiting my homeland country and I had this feeling that it was coming home and I felt happy to be here. That feeling is long gone, things are now reversed, people back home live better lives than me. In general I think the Western world is declining, it may still look good from outside, but reality is different. Angry immigrant, thank you for putting up these videos, they help people like us
@@JA-mq9ti trust mr, if you get s Heavy Mechanic ticket you're set. Especially in Alberta. Also if you u can get in the Elevator field you'll be set for life
This is the truth!! Even as a Canadian nurse. I can barely afford to live. Pay small mortgage, and have a used car... barely ever go out for meals. Choose activities that are free or reasonable priced. This is no country to live as a single.. an immigrant, or a young person. I work extra shifts to pay for vacation.
Move to the USA. If you're a RN, you can work for any employer for up to three year terms under the Free Trade Agreement with nothing more than a job offer. No immigration sponsorship required. I'm working as an accountant with TN status - better jobs, better pay, more living options. Health care is better and more accessible. My only regret is that I didn't do it ten years ago. Canada is an employment wasteland.
dont get married! family law is awful in Canada, do not have children in canada. save your money and retire to another country to look for a relationship if you are the lonely type
I totally agree with you!! I’m brazilian and I went back to my home country after 5 years in Canada paying high rent and taxes. Brazil has a lot of problems, but I’m happier now. You defined correctly, it’s a scam!!
@@UpsideDownSushistill there is ample options to enjoy and be happy, in Brazil ( for him). Myself too...I am enjoying my life in India whereas when I was in Canada, my life was full of stress.
@@avijitbasu5789 oh yeah, for sure. Life in Canada can be very difficult and stressful, and right now I wouldn't recommend living there, but That wasn't my point though. I was commenting exclusively on the rent and taxes compared to Brazil. People can find happiness anywhere, and if he is happier in Brazil, that's what matters.
I have to work 12-16 hours a day now just to make ends meet. No family time. No vacation. Can't even afford a movie night out anymore. I'm seriously thinking of leaving after 13 years of living here.
@@fudianto506 serious. And i own multiple properties! One paid off, rented dan one on mortgage. mungkin karena di BC kali ya. Gak tau province lain gmn. Dan lebih utk masa depan anak2 karena living cost mahal sekali dan ga akan jadi lebih murah. Kasian klo mereka harus struggle terus nanti.
I grew up in Vancouver, BC. After High School, I served in the Canadian Armed Forces where I learned a skilled trade. After discharge, I was shocked to find that Transport Canada would not recognize my skills and wanted me to go through a trades school and apprenticeship program like I never had training nor work experience. Also, even in the year 2000, in Vancouver it was $500,000 CAD for just for a one bedroom condo. A single family house in Surrey and Delta was approaching a million CAD. Luckily, I met an American Woman, we got married and eventually moved to the United States. The American's version of Transport Canada had no problems accepting my CAF Experience and Training. I was easily able to write my tests and become a journeyman. Canada may have been a great country in the 1970s when my parents emigrated to Vancouver, but that Canada is long gone.
I'm an elderly lady now, we emigrated from England in the late 70's, with three children. My eldest, a daughter became a nurse and she got killed by a rogue driver who got no punishment. So that's one regret I have., to put it mildly. My husband was lured here by a big company and we thought the wages offered were marvellous and we decided to give Canada a go. However, on living here for a while, we found that we were no better off, in fact, we were worse off. We stuck it out because of the children, but found the education was substandard, compared to England. Our kids did well, all professionals, but struggled, for years financially, except my youngest who works for the Govt. Married, they're both Govt. employees, so they did quite well. I'm considering returning to my homeland, England. There's a whole website of people returning to the UK. Since Trudeau got in, this country has become a disaster.
@gwenseal332 hey, have some respect, she's an old lady! You can disagree with her opinion, there's no problem with that. Also it is 'Repatriate', not migrate back.
To the author or presenter of this video, thank you for your courage to tell this story. Regrettably, many people will not believe this is happening in Canada, and I hope too many do Not try and find out the hard way. Although, I admit that the same is happening in many countries. After living in Canada for over 48 years, I have exhausted most of my savings, by trying to help my six children move along the slippery slope. Today, I am living on my pension, almost like a hermit. True, when I came to Canada, my engineering diplomas, nor my practical experience in the Plastics industry were not recognized. I landed, because the government desperately needed my wife to work as a Specialized Psychiatric Nurse. YES! It is a scam, and getting worse each day.
just for the record...I'm born and raised Canadian, not an immigrant. Life is an absolute struggle right now...and I own a car, own my home, etc. I do not know HOW people are living so financially careless right now. Hard times haven't even arrived yet, tbh. So buckle up. Leave Canada if you can!
As a white woman I got kicked out of my job at 33 by bully terrorist like immigrants. They were Chinese and Americans in my case. But later in life I've dealt with Indian, Indonesians, Russians.....as immigrants they're all the same. New Canadians don't respect Canadians. They practice nepotism and racism, claiming their people need jobs more and some go so far as to practice crimes to make it happen. Even though they're coming here with 2-10x the net worth our families have. So you're lucky you survived long enough to own your own car and home. I couldn't find a partner with a job. The only man I found was minimum wage. And I couldn't hold onto my Condo long enough or pay it off before I lost everything being blockaded out of the job market. A Chinese person took that from me too. Didn't have much choice but to sell. Abandonment is all we're getting. It doesn't really matter who you are...if you're not wealthy and own a company already. You're done in this country...
As a Canadian born and raised here we’ve been saying we can’t afford to keep bringing in more immigrants and then we get labeled as bigoted and racist. But it’s not about race. It’s about lack of resources. The push back is always we have lots of space and wood to build more houses but as you’ve pointed out the bureaucracy makes it difficult to build new houses and the ones they are building are huge million dollar homes.
@@kanishcktewatia597 You think governments nowadays are from us voting them in? How does anybody win when the only options are all part of the "club"? We have to actually fight on the streets now or canada wont change
@@kanishcktewatia597 Now imagine those already owned homes going to women in the form of a divorce where, it’s awarded to them for FREE as a so called “marital as$$et” among other stuff and you could imagine why men get PTSD from Divorce and Family Court Judges ect….. Especially in Ontario
I’m Canadian. Born here. It’s a hellhole. Don’t come. My kids can’t afford houses and still live with me. No one can get medical treatment unless you’re on the brink of dying and we are the only country in the whole world that does not allow private health for people who could actually afford it. It’s government controlled health or nothing. It’s winter almost half of the year where I live. It is also the worst country to try and leave from if by chance you’ve actually made any money because we have the worst expatriate taxes out of any other country. The income and other taxes are so insane. I’m leaving. I want a better life.
A am Canadian and lived abroad for 14 years. I had to return during the Covid crisis The Canada I returned to is a different place now. And it’s getting worse. My quality Of life seemed so much better in other places. Canada is a poverty ridden place Compared to where I lived , people laying on the streets, rents so high they are barely affordable Food prices match Bermuda , homelessness like I have never seen. It is funny how my perspective of my own country has changed ….an absolute financial sewer. Yes everything said here is true …tax slaves.
I literally had to beg and plead in tears to family doctors receptionist to accept my husband as a patient. He is Canadian born citizen, I am not. We lived in BC since 2008. I never felt so reduced and dehumanized in my life standing in reception and begging for mercy fso my husband can see a doctor.. Our household income is 350K a year half of which is going to taxes. We are considering leaving.
Keep in mind you're subsidizing your own misery ("feeding the beast" as it were) by staying. There is no political solution because the system corrupts those selected for power before they get it. That's why it seems like there is One Big Uniparty.
Yes. The medical system is only supporting ethnic Canadians. Not local Canadians. This explains how you make so much money. We aren't allowed to make any. My household income was 20k a year on salary work...but only temporary contracts because I wasn't allowed to be employed full time in my home. I had to do the work for an uneducated Russian heir....who was useless. You folks farm us like slaves.
I just found a new doctor in Vancouver no problem. You have to sign up with a doctor recently out of school. My doctor wears running shoes without any socks- so what, I think his knowledge is probably better than an older doctor because he just graduated. Or you can also go to drop in clinics, which are perfectly fine. Sometimes having the same doctor for years is not good. You can visit drop in clinics more than once over the same issue if for example you didn't get results with the first doctor. I really have no idea why you would be begging....
35 year old born and raised in Canada. Moved to Sweden a few years ago. Sweden has problems. But it's quality of life is at the standard I remember Canada being back in the 90s and 2000s. And for that I am extremely grateful to be living in Sweden.
Sweden is now a nightmare however and it will only get worse with 2 plus main cities that are effectively no go zones due to muslims and their kids The only way it's going to get fixed there and some others in europe will be much the same as Jordan had to do yrs ago or else it will become sweedinistan all too soon very much the same fate as suffered by Lebanon Wake up b4 that tiny window is left and it's way too late
$2000 plus per month? That's cheap--wait until the IMF comes knocking again (as they did in the early '90s) demanding action on our accumulated debts. We'll make Greece's collapse look like a childrens' birthday party.
in sth 1980s a friend of mine had a father who worked minimum wage at a car lot washing cars. he bought a 2 story house and supported a house wife, four kids and a vehicle. I remember working two days a week in sth nineties and living downtown vancouver with a vehicle. It was a one bedroom apartment right by stanley park. We are doing this for the environment and birth control pills? We had a great country.
As an American nurse, I would see so many Canadians come to the hospital with the same pattern: 1. “Just visiting” 2. Felt “sudden pain” 3. Gets all the scans, blood work, etc 4. Request all of above to take home 5. Don’t seem shocked by the diagnosis 6. Refuse treatment after scans done and insist on going home I realized after some time that something was wrong The free healthcare system in Canada that I admired in reality was flawed. They actually came here because it took forever to have these things done, let alone see a doctor.😮
Not surprising. It is a common thing for people to vacation to their home country for dental, vision and healthcare scans and treatment. Otherwise, you wait to death. The US system has it's cons, paying out of the nose isn't the best but Canadians are not doing well, either. We pay taxes for unprovided medical care.
@@AlexaLikes sadly we have such a broken system here. I used to admire the socialized systems until saw the flaws of it. I continue to wonder…. What’s the in between?
@@Fausaidoug I would love to take credit but it’s just an observation. They kept their original appointments with their doctor in Canada, then would get a complete work up after becoming “suddenly ill”. Before discharge, they would promptly request any radiology reports on a CD to bring to their next appointment. This was something a nurse that had ties to Canada explained. So sorry that you have to deal with this🙏🏾. I hope everything works out 🙏🏾
I live on Vancouver Island, a huge place where the provincial capital is located. I have not been able to find a doctor in six years, and when I needed a specialist, it took eight months. Rents are well over $3000 in Vancouver, for a one bed apartment. In Yoronto, one out of five people cannot afford their rent. Tent cities are everywhere.
And that's the nail on the head... People came and rushed right into things, bought a house... Then realized they can't keep a stable job, the weather is miserable, the taxes are high, your purchasing power is low, you've got all these payment still. The best option for many is to declare bankruptcy and leave.
I was born in Canada and after nearly 50 years, I can agree with everything you said but want to extend your sentiments beyond immigrants. Life in Canada is extremely difficult for most here. Many are clinging on to their homes and jobs, for if they lose either of those, life changes drastically and very quickly. You can be comfortable and suddenly poverty stricken within a very short time, with no prospects.
Canadians have a problem with self esteem, and adoration/fixation of some idyllic European model, it's much more noticeable in Canada than in US. A lot of posing in Canada to appear to be like a perfect Nordic healthcare and welfare model when in reality it's really third world and really run down and completely fake and ineffective. I think it comes from insecurities, ignorance and incompetence. Like peasants constantly looking for global validation, like they never actually feel good enough about themselves until some Klaus von Bullsh*t says that you are good enough or worthy of something. I actually used to work as an engineer for a Swiss based and run Auto parts design and manufacturing company - I was so not impressed with their ways - took me about a week to figure out that they have as much of the same BS as everywhere else. And you have total clowns in Canadian government worshipping the total clowns in Switzerland around that Economic forum who have never ever done a single day of any actual work in real industry in their entire life. I don't know exactly what to call that - but it is sad and hilarious to look at. It's no surprise to me the direction Canada is headed, I checked current PM's background back in 2016 - Canada is exactly where I expected it to be back in 2016 with competent leadership like that. Stephen Harper was also pretty dumb and delusional, pompous about so many things, while having little to no clue how any industry works other than the oil industry.
20 immigrants working as a data analyst in a big Canadian cutting edge fintech at 25$/h living together in a basement. Canadian Dream. Use condollo to save on real estate lol
In 1965 my dad made $5 000 a year. The house my parents bought was $7 000. The car cost $1 500. Today the same house in Toronto is $1 000 000 and both parents are working and can’t afford to have kids.About half the income also goes to taxes !
I know eh. My parents thought us all crazy spending what we did on housing back in the '60s and '70s. But now I think people are crazy at the prices they are willing to pay me for the small unit I open. Everybody has a different crazy I guess.
Wouldn’t it be amazing if you could by a house today for 1.4x your annual income? For that to be true today, that $5000/yr would have to be something like $357,000 (for a $500,000 home). And that’s assuming the tax rate’s the same.
That is what everyone wonders, why is it so difficult and this was happening since the 80's. The people who had parents who kept their homes bought at that time were lucky. But it should be like that as a basic part of being a citizen in any country.
immigrating to canada destroyed my life. after YEARS of fighting, paying fee after fee after fee, for applications and required documents. Only to settle here....have a family, work myself near to death, lose job, lose home, and widowed at nearly 50 years old. now i pay 600 a month to sleep on someones couch and cant feed myself, house myself, or recieve ANY form of medical attention for mental health....I know now that i will most likely die alone in the woods sooner rather than later.....canada tempted me with a shiney carrot....and now ive been left to starve and die alone, unable to find a way out. DONT COME TO CANADA....YOU WILL LOSE EVERYTHING. and before you ask, I am a tradeswoman, 32 years painting residential and commercial , highschool grad, NO CRIMINAL RECORD AND NO DRUGS OR ALCOHOL. CANADA HAS BEEN PREFECTILY HAPPY TO LET US SLIP THROUGH THE CRACKS AND NO ONE CARES
My family has lived in Vancouver for over a century, the only reason I can live like it do around this city is because of the generational wealth that was acquired over the past 30 years of the insane real estate gaming. I have absolutely no idea why people keep immigrating to this city, especially post 'rona. Current day you need at least $500k CAD converted per person now to move here to live middle class. If you're a little below ($350k-500k) that then you will get trapped by a money sucking mortgage. If you're a lot below that ($0-350k) you will live in a "leased existence" and be trapped in forever renting property and leasing cars, you will have no assets to pass on to your children living here; You will be poor, they will be poor, your grandchildren will be poor. I genuinely feel bad for refugees coming to Canadian cities and I wish I could tell them to find somewhere, literally anywhere else to live for the time being. They'd be better roughing it out in Sask, Manitoba or going East Coast than dealing with this terrible quality of life the major cities have. In 2015 we had a Federal Election. One of the major deciding factors of that outcome was immigration. The Conservative government announced that it was planning to reduce immigration if re-elected and this soured a lot of Canadians in major cities, especially those had received recent citizenship and were afraid their family or friends would be barred. They mistakenly turned to the Liberals, ignoring the double edged sword. Sure they'll allow people into Canada, but they didn't expect everything in the country to become more expensive. Lifelong Canadians know the Liberal Government believes in spending and subsidies, it doesn't believe in things like budget balancing and budget cuts, when it needs more money they just create more taxes, compound taxes and compound on compound taxes. They think people aren't wise to them taking your money and then giving it back in subsidies, but only if you "do the right thing". They also create a lot of blackhole money, significant amounts of money that just seems to disappear as they hold no accountability to spending and who (usually their friends) they're spending it on (see CanApp). On the Federal and Provincial Government levels, there's been an outright failure of both BC and Ontario with regards to Vancouver and Toronto cities as they are offshore tax shelters and money laundering operations. The government is 100% getting a kickback indirectly from inflated property values and I would not be shocked if they also had a illegal direct kickback for allowing it to continue even until present day. Residential Real Estate values will never go down in these cities apart from our friends to the South going at with China or a major disaster like an earth quake which completely sinks Richmond. Every other case of property value decline will just have them and friends dump in more cash to prop their investments back up. As you asserted, immigration is being used by the Liberals to suck money into the country. Rich or poor they don't care, they want you here for your money and hard work, but mostly money. The Liberal government is great at "selling the dream" and many people find out the hard way that it comes at a cost. An actual straight up non-figurative cost, and a significant one. They didn't tell you that your education isn't recognized by Canada so you'll have to re-study and work at Crappy Tire for $15/h for 2 years? That once you do get back to your career you might make $70k/y but only actually take home $50k? Of that $50k/y net everything you purchase still has taxes attached? That S D house prices are now $1.2M and you simply don't qualify for a mortgage for that amount and never will? Of course they didn't! It's always a laugh when Vancouver gets placed in the "Best places to live" articles. It's a joke. It's the best if your Mr. Peanut big bucks, it sucks for 99.99% of the rest us who have to slave day in and day out around this place, especially now a bunch of Tranq-ed out zombies and skids roam around a great part of downtown thanks to "safe supply". If you think it's bad today, it's going to still get worse thanks to electing this Fed Lib-NDP coalition in '21. They can't build enough houses in the cities for the people they want to bring in the next few years. As mortgage rates decrease we can expect more huge property value jumps as well as insane fighting and increased rates for places to rent. With re-zoning from single detached homes to multiplexes and new highrise developments in smaller communities we do not have the infrastructure for this. We don't have the roads, public transit, parking, healthcare, police to deal with this. Vancouver traffic is already horrendous and now the Feds and Province think it's fine to 2-4x the density everywhere? They're out of their minds. The absolute mess the Fed Conservatives are going to inherit next year will take them a whole term just to figure out how to solve it. They will need minimum 3 terms to get somewhat back on track. /rant
And you know the naive and ignorant voter base will question why the country isnt back to normal in 4 years time, blame the conservatives, and then re-elect the same party who got us into this mess.
> but they didn't expect everything in the country to become more expensive. Which is pure foolishness. Artificially increasing the number of people in the country will always cause this issue. There should be nothing wrong with the acknowledgment that if the population doesn't boom, you'll at least be building stability instead of always chasing a useless increase in GDP. > The absolute mess the Fed Conservatives are going to inherit next year will take them a whole term just to figure out how to solve it. There is no short-term solution and they will be blamed for not having an immediate impact but the #1 decision, which I don't think they will take, is immediately drop migration from 1.2 million per year to as close to 0 as they can while still admitting those with very good, specific degrees. Doctor? Sure. Lawyer? No thanks, we have enough. Engineer? What type? And then speed up the process of having them be qualified for Canadian licensing.
I don't disagree with the main message you and the youtuber are trying to express. I agree for the most as I wrote in another thread. There are some good things about this place though. The police are not so terrible here, like in over 25 years living around lower mainland I've never been stopped questioned by Police once, or coerced, intimidated in any way - the authorities prefer to leave everybody alone - and that's a good thing. If you are not a drug addict then you can improve your health in Vancouver - lots of outdoor activity opportunities, and also health food supply - like salmon, blueberries, chia seeds, avocados, brocolli - things like that are everywhere - salmon and blueberries are actually cheaper than in most other countries where they are not available at all, and brocolli as well - a lot of countries don't have it at all. The worst part is that most people seem very sad, stressed out and so on - what I notice a lot lately. Oh yes, and you would have to be crazy at this point to pick this country or city to raise a family, children specifically - it's really not for that at all anymore. What I heard about a family doctor - you just have to be persistent in your search and you can find one within a month, though it might take some effort.
Canada is quickly becoming a 3rd world country thanks to total mismanagement by successive governments. As a Canadian who was born and lived here all my life, 65 years now, I have never ever seen things so bad and would never recommend anyone ever move here, at least until things improve, hopefully they will.
Ah man the good old days.. moved here 18 years ago as a student. Life was different back then. Now at 35 years of age, I want to go back to my home country because there is barely any difference. Life is a struggle every single day.
18 yrs ago...lol that is eff all...u had not seen nothing...Canada was a place where a single mother who worked as a teacher could BUY a detached house raise two kids in places like White Rock, Burnaby, Richmond, North Shore.....or live like royalty in places like Surrey or other lower end areas...Now, a single mother who is a teacher can at best rent a room in a basement suite in Surrey and constantly worry about getting evicted or not having enough to pay rent.....I beg to argue that Canada is in the top 3 Nations on Earth, where the standard of living has deteriorated and gone down the worse out of over 190 countries in the planet over a 40 yr period, including Afghanistan, Somalia, Bangladesh Ethiopia and other extremely hard done by nations. Nothing to Cape about Canada right about now, ABSOLUTLEY NOTHING..It is DISGRACEFUL.
@@DucaConteMariaRitaBalabam You definitely wouldn't have liked it. If you're not a fan of the United States though you probably would have liked Canook media.

I was born in Canada but worked overseas for most of my adult life. I wss shocked when I csme home in 2020. Almost three and a half years and I couldn't get assigned a regular doctor. I have since gone overseas again and my quality of life has improved.
Imagine having to leave your home country because of how dangerous it is. Living abroad your whole life. Loosing connection with family. Moving to places you cant make a home in, and this one is included in. And having to think where else can you go to feel safe. But after a few countries…. This… is exhausting and terrifying as you get older.
I really appreciate your videos because they speak the unadulterated truth! I'm a Canadian and one of my main focuses is to make money online so i can leave this country. It's cold, too WOKE, high taxes, nothing being done with our tax dollars, scams and scandals from the government at least once a year, no real freedom (truckers convoy), freeze your bank and crypto accounts at a drop of a dime, no freedom of media or press (bill C-11 & C-18), the list goes on.
I said that 30 years ago...about the immigration scam ...nobody wanted to even listen. I smell the rat when I was told not to leave the country for 6 months of every year...I thought wtf am I a prisoner. The answer is yes. Then me and my friends lost all the savings we came with and then they defrauded us by brainwashing us into going back to school scam make especially for immigrants - retrain and then anyway you will not have a job but you will have debts to pay. This works maybe but for a very few ...the system works well and will always favor someone without an accent ...
I came to Canada from Thailand 25 years ago for post unfergrad education and have been living in Canada ever since. I have witnessed changes in Canada, particularly in housing affordability, unreasonably high food prices and lower accessability to healthcare, especially after the pandemic. However, people from outside, particularly those from developing counteies, view Canada as the place of their dreams. I was surprised when I went back to Thailand last year and learned about a girl who was coming to study at U of Saskatchewan. No offense abiut the university but did she know how nothingess Saskatchewan is compared to big city that never sleep like Bangkok??? I couldnt comprehend how someone would be paying a lot of money for international student tuition to be in the middle of nowhere and downgrade their lifestyle so drastically. For what???
I went the other way. In 2013 I moved to Chiang Mai. Every day I am thankful for that decision. Maybe you forgot about the food here? The friendly smiling people who make every attempt to be happy instead of being angry, sad, depressed or confrontational? The complete acceptance and tolerance of the difference of others?
I’m from sask and omg it’s so not worth it. There’s jack all here to do here. The universities (u of s and u of r) are godawful in comparison to literally everywhere else smh
@@dmitrydk92, this country is run by organized crime; they've moved into R.E. in the '90s and took over everything. Vancouver used to be a great place to live back then.
Came here also in 2008. Bought a condo in 2011(10k dp) sold it in 2019 (made 200+% profit) used it as dp for a house. Will sell it in few more years for retirement then go back home. Things became really different after the pandemic. Everythings expensive now(globally). Still thankful and grateful to Canada. No complaints. It is what it is.
The overwhelming number of newcomers end up living in basements in Canada, and employed in low paying manual jobs. It's mind boggling why many newcomers give up their well paying jobs and stable life for a chance to immigrate to Canada...Think 10 times before moving to Canada.
I don't see newcomers working many low paying manual labour jobs. They're mainly just working fast food, the early job experience young Canadian teens used to get.
There are people who had immigrated way before everything went bad, or they fail to admit that they have made a mistake, and they make money by helping future immigrants with Canadian CVs and teaching them “networking”. Or it’s a kind of a psychological compensation for them to tell everybody that they are doing great.
In my case, before December 2023 I had been preparing to move to Canada from Kazakhstan for 1 year with my wife, she had to study in Canadian college in Vancouver, and I got my work permit visa. So, using this course of action we wanted to establish our permanent residency there over time. Finally the day of our flight came and on December 3 we arrived in Canada, Vancouver. 14 000 kilometers behind, one year of preparation also there, Canada had been our dream for a long period, and you know what! 😂 As soon as we arrived, at the same day that was already night December 4, I bought two tickets back to Kazakhstan😅 Something inside me was saying " go home, go home, right now!!! You don't need to stay even one month here, go!!!" I remember I felt like my body was kinda squeezed with a cramp, I felt that I wasn't in the place where I want to begin my new life. And as soon as I bought two tickets, I felt totally relieved. On December 6 we boarded the plane and went back to our country. I don't regret about this kind of "relocation" 😅 I guess that was the fastest try of immigration in the history 😂
I totally understand your decision. But why not do throughoutly research before you decide to move to Canada? In my case, I already worked hard for my whole life to pay tax, and now it's time for me to harvest ...after losing everything as my unescapable big lost time had came, I became too old to be hired, and too young to get retirements. So, I lost all with that unfortunate event. And my original country is not a best choice once people decided to escape from it.
I came to Canada 25 years ago. I am planning to go back to Europe. Canada is getting very expensive, crime rate is good up, diversity and inclusion b.s. .. I worked 2 jobs for 10 years and never been one day on social assistance, learn language, raised 2 boys, both of them finished University, very responsible children. But those new imigranats that are coming lately is insane they want everything free ,not to work always blaming someone for their lazy attitude. Criminals has more rights than hard working people....
I agree with everything you said except for the lazy part. Most international students I know work 2 minimum wage jobs + college just to afford living in shared basement rooms with a rent three times whatever you paid for a unit back in the day. Tuition is 20k a year which they usually fully pay themselves. I also know a couple of them still sending money back home. If that's lazy then I don't know what isn't
@@finiavanamandresy5460 Many Canadians have no idea how hard the migrants and international students work in this country. How much effort goes into working multiple jobs and paying taxes while also paying thrice what others paid previously. I was an international student before yet my mortgage payment is lower than what many of them pay for rent these days. I guess when life gets harder people always tend to blame those who can’t defend themselves much. Here in Canada it’s now recent immigrants and international students. But of course things are far more complex and precisely because they are largely uninformed, living life worry free, Canadians don’t know what’s going on with their economy and country.
You are so out of touch your an embarrassment new immigrants work 10x harder dealing with an insane cost of living something you never had to deal with don't blame the immigrants blame this greedy and irresponsible government
They did the same when they began to encourage immigration to Canada during 1880's. They told them it was good farm land when in fact it was rock, lakes, and forest for the large part.
What did you think they should expect back in the 1880s? My family came to Canada from Germany in the 1840s. They obviously survived by working their asses off.
You did not read what I wrote. They told the people they encouraged to immigrate to Canada it was good farmland. It was not it had to be worked hard, so they were lied to is the point. Ta da. @@-Ordinary-Average-Guy
Not a lie as my ancestors knew they would have to work the land. You really think the ancestors were thinking wonderful it’s already plowed for me? Ha ha
@@calstan86 Maybe it has, hard to say. Go read chats on videos about the US, UK, Germany, Sweden, France and even Switzerland and everyone is saying the same thing. And hardly anyone is moving from Canada to those places, if they move it's usually cause they work online or are retired so they move to cheaper countries which have far more problems than any G7 nation but having foreign income is the cheat code
I agree with everything you have said but I have to add one thing: It is just as hard for any Canadians born after the 80s to "have a life" here. Every friend of mine in Generation Z is living in their parents basement or in one apartment with several roomates and barely have money for groceries. They often work multiple jobs and still struggle to make ends meet. The only group of Canadians who have it easier than everyone else are the older ones who already own property and already made their living here. Though they struggle in some ways as well. You can easily tell that anyone telling migrants or younger Canadians to "work harder" is from an older generation. There is no perspective nor compassion anymore from older generations. You mentioned not having access to healthcare, while that is unfortunate, we both know that the healthcare in Canada is not good. I had to move to Europe to try and recieve treatment at a reasonable speed. I kept being refused for tests over the course of 2 years and I had the doctors tell me they "found nothing" after a blood test and stop trying, despite still having health issues. As soon as I got to Europe, I got the testing i needed and recieved treatments. For example, I needed an MRI and was able to get one WITHIN A WEEK. I wish I could say that I had more friends that were leaving Canada but they all seem to stay and struggle. Their lives get harder every year. It is definitely hard to leave when you have no support system. I managed to leave because of my family's Kindness for letting me live with them and gain a savings. I truly feel bad for the people that came to Canada hoping for a better life, just to find out that the current Canadian government treats even its own citizens terribly.
yes the older generation f***ed the young people.. made it impossible to emulate the previous social contracts.. not to mention a great transfer of wealth has occurred twice starting in 2008, essentially attacking the middle class and replacing it with cheap low educated labour force
Boomers could leave school as a Junior and walk into the nearest business to get a well paying job that could support an entire family with enough money to buy cheap land allowing them to build a home. Quit being lazy and just pull yourself up by your bootstraps whipper snapper!
@ghostinplainsight4803 , I've seen comment threads about boomers where they just don't "understand" the "boomer hate", that boomers had it "just as hard" , and anyone who brings this up as a topic is just a weak and bitter individual. Millennial and Gen Z are just entitled and selfish. It's like being in the twilight zone. Boomers; who got their start during times of low inflation, lived in a society that actually socially interacted in person, had low competition from immigration, social norms existed and they even knew what a woman was! These same boomers, who had less government regulation, started importing cheaper labour to bring costs down, caused multiple financial crises, retired early and get to collect pension... these same people are saying we're the entitled ones acting selfish.
(*** A.S. Howdy, to you in Canada, here in Oz, we have parallel scenarios to yours. Today, Tuesday, there was a story on all TV outlets telling us that families are fleeing Sydney. Well, the real reason why families are FLEEING Sydney is White Flight. A few years ago, when the leader of the NSW state opposition, MP Mike Daley, stated this reality. ***) At 6am, on Monday February 12/23, I boarded a train at Redfern railway station to travel to Liverpool. Between Burwood and my final destination there are 14 stations, and at EVERY one of them, people of non-Anglo/European heritages accounted anywhere between 90, to 95 percent of all the people I observed on the platforms. After alighting the carriage at Liverpool station, I would have passed at least 60 people between then and walking through the turnstile, and across the concourse. Of that number, I did not observe one single person I passed who was of an Anglo/European extraction. Well, it comes as no surprise, of course, that the Anglo/European demographic in this 17km corridor of suburbs in western, and south western Sydney, is an absolute minority: and it’s been this way for about seven years. What is of significant disbelief, however, is to find that, in the decade since I last travelled on a train heading anywhere west of Strathfield is to realise that, non-AEs have surged from being well in excess of about 60 percent of the people you’d see on the platforms from around the end of 2013, to them now being a minimum of 90 percent of travellers. The other very striking aspect that struck me on this sojourn, was seeing the plethora of high-rise apartment buildings that exist between Burwood and Merrylands. At a guess, there would be something in the vicinity of 250 high rise apartment buildings, on that stretch. With about 60 of them being crammed into the space/wedge along Parramatta Rd (including those at Olympic Park), just after the exit entry of the motorway. A notable instance to convey, because I lived in the area many years ago, prevails with the 7 residential buildings that are on the right-hand side of the tracks just before, and adjacent to Granville station. In a bygone time, this location - as it has been the case with scores of other locations right across metropolitan Sydney - was once a light industrial estate. Whereas now, there would be a minimum of 1000, and up to 1200 people residing in these apartments. Needless to say, there isn’t a green space, or an amenity anywhere nearby these rather drab and dreary buildings. The clear majority of dwellers living in these buildings are Asiatics. A significant chunk of those residing in the glut of buildings in Homebush West, being international students. So, because these souls are from big cities in China, means that they’re able to cope with these mind-numbingly boring circumstances, because it’s what they’ve grown up in. According to data I’ve obtained from a person (who I’ve known for 11 years) working at the Chinese consulate in Sydney, told me that between November 2014, and November 2023, more than 100,000 people have come the PRC, and now reside in the sphere between Ashfield/Burwood/Homebush West, and Rhodes. This contact also told me that, the total number of ethnic Chinese in Sydney, whether they have a direct link to the PRC, either as immigrants or, being their offspring, is in excess of 620,000 people. In comparison, in 1990, the number of ethnic Chinese spread across the whole of Sydney was less than 90,000. Hence ethnic Chinese - as it is most certainly the case, albeit more recently, occurs with the surging number of immigrants from India. But whatever group it may be due to MASS migration programs over the past 20-30 years has culminated with these entities forming culturally-insular enclaves. In conclusion, and apropos to Woolworths not selling products commemorating Australia Day, a significant underlying factor for this occurring, is due to swathes of Sydney, and Melbourne, too, being overwhelmed with people from societies that have no sense of connection to this land. Hence, stocking some shelves in many of their stores in Sydney, was a total waste of time because these non-AE groups have no sense of cultural connection to Australia.
Thank you! I'm Canadian and my husband is a Bangladeshi immigrant. I used to be pro-immigration, and now I'm adamantly against it in 90% of cases. For all the reasons you mentioned in this video. It's so refreshing to see an immigrant Canadian understand the depravity of these topics and subjects, because from my experience, when trying to explain how we don't even have the infrastructure and resources to support our own Canadians first, let alone ensure masses of immigrants and refugees have access to housing and resources, immigrant folk get offended & go on the ''colonizer'' narrative about how we allegedly ''stole'' this land, which, newsflash - we didn't. These are the folks coming here, yet haven't even the slightest knowledge of our history, nor appreciation of it's land and people. They just want this fantasy life that Canada has sold to them. It's a destructive relationship. The immigrants want to use us for our resources & send their wealth back home to support their economies, and Canada wants to likewise, milk them dry & use them for our labor force. And in return, we have a society of native citizens who are angry with immigrants and our destructive immigration policies, making things more hostile for newcomers. When our focus should be government bodies. How is it that my ancestors, had acres and acres of land - even my great grandmother bought her plot of land for like $700, which they built a large home on; and here I am, living in a slum apartment building in shameful conditions, overpopulated with newcomers coming from a single demographic, living paycheck to paycheck, with no foreseeable possibility of owning our own home? This is the reality most native Canadians of my generation are experiencing; hence the conservatives will likely gain political power & nothing will change. It's a sham for sure. Just watch the house of commons debates & you'll get a better picture of the clowns running our parliament. They act like grown children tossing around insults all day long, and taking zero accountability. I'm glad you're speaking on this issue, even if it persuades newcomers not to come here. The situation is the same in America too, there is no ''American dream''. It's time we stop selling this fantasy.
Thank you so much for your courage. We have exactely the same in Europa. Alas, everyone is scared to statement her his anger in proper way. I have seen thies nightmare just in 2015. I was craying seeing almost young men invaded Europa with ill and stupid invitation. Old Europa, after terrible wars was blooming just and now we have every day dead and raped people. They are living for our taxes and money, doiing nothing. Even on TV was said, that almost 3 million emigrants are living on social help. They get money for hitting, housing, for children and for adults social help, while Europains are not able to pay for flat hitting and lot of the others duties demanded from government, that emigrants have even not idea, God save Canada and Europe!♥♥
Who cares about the history or what Canadians are about. That is the fault of the government who doesn't expect that knowledge anymore, and hasn't since I came in the early 70s. It's the government's fault that Canada is dying, not the immigrants.
Your comment reminded me of a traditional song, "Dégénération" - Quebecois Traditionalist Song" posted under that exact name here on TH-cam. It has English translation right below the subtitles.
I'm also an immigrant that became Canadian permanent resident and I also understand all of these issues. People who come and don't feel this way probably have not taken the time to learn about history and are also not paying attention to what reality is around, just waiting for some magical solutions given. We moved because my husband's job relocated an entire team and it seemed like a good opportunity. We were in the US before and I guess the idea of not being around the fear of mass shootings convinced us. My husband has his family in the US but we are from south America. I am from spanish family. Traveling around has been a part of our lives and we thought that an exchange of skilled workers could make societies more diverse but then when we looked at the reality of how this is playing out 😮. It's really unfortunate. If I was a Canadian born citizen I'd feel like this. I believe a right balance should exist between a healthy diverse society but also protecting the homeland and taking care of it
This video is very true. As an immigrant in Canada, you're there to feed their elites and retirees. The cost of living is unbearable and the taxes don't make any sense with absolutely nothing you receive in return. I was so lucky to be able to leave last July. I was targeting Dubai and Qatar for a job but ended up getting a job in Kuwait. I'm not saying that Kuwait is a perfect place by any mean but I'm much happier now as I'm closer to my loved ones, able to make money and save a good amount of money every month, laid back and relatively relaxing job (I understand the work experience I used to gain in Toronto was better but there're always pros and cons) and finally, I'm able to travel 4 or 5 times a year. I went to Central Asia last autumn, to Kazakhstan again in the new year, I'm going to Bosnia after 2.5 weeks, and in June I will probably visit Russia or another place. I'm still grateful for living in Canada as I grew there a lot and I learned it the hard way that Canada isn't the perfect place I was hoping to find but I'm even more grateful for the opportunity of being out of Toronto and of getting my salary in full without paying any silly taxes and without extremely expensive groceries, insurance, entertainment, etc... Bottom line, if you're an immigrant and can live somewhere else where you can make more money or save more money and where you can travel and enjoy life then do it and do it quickly. Otherwise, you will end up burning yourself for nothing in Canada.
How did you get a job in Kuwait? I got into Canada in 2019 as a PR and I am looking to leave. The cost of leaving coupled with poor career prospects is making leaving here untenable.
@raspberrymediapost8186 I got a job in Kuwait, not the UAE or Qatar. You just need to apply for the right job and the company will get you the visa there. The UAE and Qatar are more advanced than Kuwait and the quality of life is higher but Kuwait is cheaper. Also, I grew up in Kuwait so I have my parents here so it's easier. Best of luck with your job hunt.
I am First Nations and I agree with everything you say. The image Canada tried to portray is false and there is a huge cost of living crisis, housing crisis and so much more. It’s so demoralizing living here 😐 it’s so creepy especially when I return from work trips I notice at the airports that there are advertisements for newcomers to apply for credit cards without any credit history, knowing that the job market here isn’t good it’s a predatory and sure fire way to use newcomers to fall into debt with banks
I immigrated to Canada in 2006. In 2018 I left Canada and went back home, broken in all aspects of my life. I totally agree with what you said on this video. Canada is a scam, an immigration casino, an imposture.
At least you have somewhere to go to. I'm a native, & old enough to tell you that this country was a paradise before mass, unregulated immigration & a total abandonment of traditional British manners & conservative values destroyed it. It's a cesspool now. I can see why you all wanted to come here. What I can't understand is why you all brought your ethnic enmities with you to destroy our home. 🤬
I live in my homeland, Greece, which is not exactly a developed country, like Germany or the Netherlands or USA or Canada. The wages are low, meaning that we have to count every cent we take to make ends meet, the cost of products is high,housing is really expensive and the only thing that works is healthcare, which is available to anyone without costs,in most cases. I have lived and worked in two developed European countries in the past,three years in the UK and almost six years in Germany. I speak both languages almost influently. Well, Greece may not be developed but I will never leave it again. I have my own house. I have a steady work and I only need about seven minutes (on foot !!) to get to my workplace. In comparison to other people around me, I earn enough money to put at least 150 euros in the side, having covered all my bills and needs. Mind you, I don't earn very good money, just enough to say that I can live almost comfortably and without stress. The weather ? Well, the lowest temperature this winter was something like -1 degrees and this only during the night and it lasted less than two weeks. I reached to the point where I (and everyone else actually) prayed for a little bit of snow maybe ? It's sunshine most of the time and we the Greeks won't miss the chance to go out, have a coffee and socialise with the others. I don't describe paradise now. I earned almost two and a half more money in Germany, but I was always feeling away from home - a stranger, no matter how many people I got to know and make friends with. It's not always about money. To me, there's no place like home. And I guess it's better to fight for your life in the country where you were born, because it is your real home. I was thinking about moving to Canada once, but no, thank you.
Don't speak too loudly. Do you want the ECB, Goldman-Sachs and your own Greek oligarchs to come and steal what is left in Greece, or have you already forgotten what happened in 2011?

@zinithin-8208 I live in a Midwest metropolitan area here in the states. There are about 100k immigrants, they do their best to keep their children away from the negative influences. They also generated $5.8 billion in income and paid $1.6 billion in federal income and payroll taxes, and state income taxes. After paying 28% of their income for taxes, they are left with $4.2 billion in purchasing power. If one has taxable income of $70k(after std deduction, 401k contribution, etc.)in my state, 23.5% will go to income taxes, not 40% to 50% like in Canada, Germany, Sweden. Many of the immigrants here are from Asia or are refugees from the last Balkan war.

As a black American whose origins is Mississippi and growing up in a passive aggressive society I decided to immigrate to Canada. I couldn’t believe the overt racism and the condescending behavior of the people including the immigrants. After 10 years I returned home.
My immigrant family thinks we are a gift to Canada but yet secretly holds in contempt every other ethnic and immigrant group. Peak Canadian multiculturalism byproduct.
I've lived in a few different parts of Alberta and BC. I noticed that racism was worse in some areas than others. I do think racism is getting worse. We don't mix and gather as a community but segregate into our different groups. Whether divided by income, class, political or race, we don't really realize that we are even doing it. I'm sorry that you didn't enjoy your time in Canada. I grew up in a community near where a large number of black families settled in the early 1900s. They had the best Fried Chicken Dinners at their hall. 😋. One of my daughter's best friends is a descendant of that community.
God, what you’ve said is very true. I’m from Africa and was shocked to see the covert racism and passive aggressiveness from Canadians. Les québécois though, they don’t hide their aggression and are very straightforward. I lived in several provinces and I’m not really impressed with Canada. I’m planning to go back to Africa forever for my mental health. My future kids will have a healthier life in Africa.

Every Canadian should see this video. I am a senior citizen and my grown daughter will never be able to afford a home. This country has been destroyed by a corrupt Liberal government. I do agree that immigration needs to stop as there are not enough jobs and housing for newcomers.
I've a question ⁉️ Maybe your government is favoring immigrants for sudden influx of money what they're selling? Only the goodwill of Canada or some distant prosperous life which they would know after landing here , last year 400,000 immigrants left Canada, but they've certainly made your government rich in taxes

This expose was a wake up call for me, I own a business that employs several people from other countries. There is no doubt there has been a shift from Canada being a land of opportunity to being a place where you can’t make enough to live a middle class life. Several times taxes were mentioned, Canada has very high tax rates my small business is controlled and taxed by all forms of government to the max. Times are only going to get tougher. The slogan you’ll own nothing is true, the part about being happy, not so much.

Between Burwood and my final destination there are 14 stations, and at EVERY one of them, people of non-Anglo/European heritages accounted anywhere between 90, to 95 percent of all the people I observed on the platforms. After alighting the carriage at Liverpool station, I would have passed at least 60 people between then and walking through the turnstile, and across the concourse. Of that number, I did not observe one single person I passed who was of an Anglo/European extraction. Well, it comes as no surprise, of course, that the Anglo/European demographic in this 17km corridor of suburbs in western, and south western Sydney, is an absolute minority: and it’s been this way for about seven years. What is of significant disbelief, however, is to find that, in the decade since I last travelled on a train heading anywhere west of Strathfield is to realise that, non-AEs have surged from being well in excess of about 60 percent of the people you’d see on the platforms from around the end of 2013, to them now being a minimum of 90 percent of travellers. The other very striking aspect that struck me on this sojourn, was seeing the plethora of high-rise apartment buildings that exist between Burwood and Merrylands. At a guess, there would be something in the vicinity of 250 high rise apartment buildings, on that stretch. With about 60 of them being crammed into the space/wedge along Parramatta Rd (including those at Olympic Park), just after the exit entry of the motorway. A notable instance to convey, because I lived in the area many years ago, prevails with the 7 residential buildings that are on the right-hand side of the tracks just before, and adjacent to Granville station. In a bygone time, this location - as it has been the case with scores of other locations right across metropolitan Sydney - was once a light industrial estate. Whereas now, there would be a minimum of 1000, and up to 1200 people residing in these apartments. Needless to say, there isn’t a green space, or an amenity anywhere nearby these rather drab and dreary buildings. The clear majority of dwellers living in these buildings are Asiatics. A significant chunk of those residing in the glut of buildings in Homebush West, being international students. So, because these souls are from big cities in China, means that they’re able to cope with these mind-numbingly boring circumstances, because it’s what they’ve grown up in. According to data I’ve obtained from a person (who I’ve known for 11 years) working at the Chinese consulate in Sydney, told me that between November 2014, and November 2023, more than 100,000 people have come the PRC, and now reside in the sphere between Ashfield/Burwood/Homebush West, and Rhodes. This contact also told me that, the total number of ethnic Chinese in Sydney, whether they have a direct link to the PRC, either as immigrants or, being their offspring, is in excess of 620,000 people. In comparison, in 1990, the number of ethnic Chinese spread across the whole of Sydney was less than 90,000. Hence ethnic Chinese - as it is most certainly the case, albeit more recently, occurs with the surging number of immigrants from India. But whatever group it may be due to MASS migration programs over the past 20-30 years has culminated with these entities forming culturally-insular enclaves. In conclusion, and apropos to Woolworths not selling products commemorating Australia Day, a significant underlying factor for this occurring, is due to swathes of Sydney, and Melbourne, too, being overwhelmed with people from societies that have no sense of connection to this land. Hence, stocking some shelves in many of their stores in Sydney, was a total waste of time because these non-AE groups have no sense of cultural connection to Australia.
Thank you for this informative video. Many times I have regretted not moving to Canada. Now I can rest my mind and be assured that I made the correct decision.
As an immigrant who left in 2017 just before all this mess started, I agree with the first 2/3 of the video. I think it’s on point. Where I disagree is the part where Canada is blamed for the choices of immigrants. Where I currently live, there is a complete obsession with immigrating to Canada. I have personally had conversations with people who, despite knowing I returned and hearing what I have to say about the experience, don’t care. They look at my current life and see it as a reflection of what they have already seen…people who return from Canada and the USA are doing much better than locals who stayed and never left. They just can’t and won’t understand that things have changed. The opportunities are no longer the same. Canada is living off past reputation which will take some time to change. I still love Canada don’t rule out returning part time one day to invest, still optimistic about it’s future. Looks like this mess will take some time to sort itself out, so I’m waiting on the dust to settle first. Immigrants need to take some responsibility in this, opportunistic people will use others if given the chance.
Aboslutely, if you try putting some sense into people, they think that you don't want them to come here and you are jealous. Until, the day the realise that we were right all of this time, when they step into this country and try to make a living.
Im so glad people are talking about this. I can not believe how much things have deteriorated here. We pay so much for taxes and for what? Trying to get basic health care here is nearly impossible. Sit in a walk in clinic, you have to get there early in the morning and then be prepared to wait for hours still. You have to take a whole day off work to see a doctor who probably won’t be helpful and if you need a referral, or an MRI or x-ray, haaaa, maybe next year. I can’t stand it here.

Amazing! We want to do the same but we are afraid of having to pay a departure tax, and being surprised by other tax implications. Would love to connect with someone who can provide guidance.
I'm an American who immigrated to Canada seven years ago, to stay near my Canadian wife's daughter. Canada has descended into a nightmare of incompetence and tyrannical government.
@@Tom21356 It's similar to Canada in that the degree of suck depends on which province/region you live in. The US Federal government is far more dangerous, by capability.
@@notoriousj_ if after watching this channel you don't get that government is draining your blood in every way they can literally nobody will be able to help you
LOL.... the whole banking system is a scam and you blame immigrants???!!! Your financial 'advisors' are doing c oke during meetings buddy.... and you are blaming IMMIGRANTS? You deserve for your country to go down the drain....@@notoriousj_
Everything the author said resonated with me. I immigrated to Canada from India in 2011. The decay and decline of cdn society is so drastic. It took me a few years to realize thanks to my wife, that my quality of life deteriorated so much compared to what it was in India. High pay means nothing when you cant afford basic necessities. Houses/renting are so high, taxes, utilities..at the end you save nothing. The crime rate and corruption are far worse. Healthcare is a nightmare. I am still amazed how 1000s of people fall victim to this scam especially from India despite knowing the reality. Planning to go back in a year.
Uncontrolled immigration, tribalism, abandonment of Canadian way of living, destruction of Canadian culture, refusal of assimilation, unqualified immigrants more prone to crime. Those all are factors for degrading life in Canada. You may add schizophrenic globalism, corporate greed, dumb PM and disaster is done.
you should definetly leave the sinking ship especially if you have kids . there is absolutely no future for your kids in this open air slave camp .india is not perfect , but one thing for sure , surrounded by family , friends and so on , you wont be depressed .
Don't try to pretend those people from India aren't the major responsible for Liberals to remain in power for so long. Also, please don't pretend a lot of the criminals are Indians or Pakistanis themselves. CBC News always hides news about Indians criminals in the GTA and Vancouver area to avoid creating stereotypes
Thanks for making and posting this video. As a Canadian-born woman, I am struggling financially. Divorced and childless, I have several degrees and have no problem finding a decent job. However, the cost of living has skyrocketed, and I barely get by. I am from Québec and currently residing in Toronto. If I could move tomorrow to a decent, affordable country, I would. It's tough for Canadians born here, so I cannot even imagine how arduous it is for newcomers. And my first languages are French and English, so I understand the struggle in French-speaking Canada as well.

I'm from England, hoping to move back, stuck here at the moment. Lost both my brothers to suicide, and my parents moved back. I work two jobs and go to school, not sure if I can go on like this. There's no hope here.
Please don't say there is no hope. You are still alive. My granddparents emigrated from England in 1907. They homesteaded, worked very hard, built log house, had no plumbing, electricity, heated by wood they chopped down and cut up themselves. The seven children when they were big enough also worked very hard. We are all still here. You have to be tough - you can do it. Try to get back to your family and home country. Family is really important.
So sorry for your loss. Being isolated and away from support is extremely difficult. You are doing way too much, going to school and working two jobs. That’s incredibly stressful. I hope things improve soon for you.
It's a weird feeling because I see all these nice condos being built all around, nice livable communities, and as I walk through these communities I know it'll never be something I can afford. There isn't a place for people to start out on the bottom anymore, it feels like you're either "in" or you're forever "out". I feel like an outsider in this country even though I was born here. I make $30 an hour, save most of it that I can without going out at all, and feel like I am just treading water above the poverty line.
32 years old and I just finished a degree out in Quebec. Im back in BC and am living in my parents basement because it's way too expensive to afford rent in my hometown. Without the grace of my parents helping me save on expensive rent, I would definitely be living below the poverty line, despite making $35 an hour. This country is in shambles.
Remember this when you vote, for the rest of your life. There's a reason the Liberals don't run in Alberta, Trudeau senior literally gave the province the middle finger during a campaign stop. There's a reason in Manitoba they only have 1 seat and are now consistent 3rd party status, all happening after about 3 decades in charge from the 1920s to 50s. There's a reason they suffered their worst election loss in Ontario in 160 years and the worst election loss of any incumbent government, dropping to 3rd party status that has now maintained 1 election after. Give Liberals enough time and they'll royally screw over a place. The only reason the NDP grows each time too is because of the sycophants who think the Liberal policy failures were not because of the policies themselves. They are the very same people who look at the Liberals increasing migration numbers to 1.2 million per year, look at the issues that has caused, and think any complaint about that is racist, xenophobic, and fascist -- they are ardent supporters of the very policies that get the Liberals booted from place to place.
What’s really weird, is I decided to go for an open house in a nice apartment building just to take a peek… I asked the realtor “it’s very quiet, where is everybody?” He said “they live overseas” So what’s even weirder is I know when the bubble pops, these buildings will crash in value, become cheap housing, deteriorate and end up looking like garbage after this facade fades.
I’m a Canadian, as Canadian as possible, you get it, and I’m happy immigrants are waking up to how shitty it is here. My country has been destroyed by greed and long time ago
finally someone in the comments that understands what is happening with Aus, Can, US, England (maybe Scottland and Ireland as well) its no longer run by people its run by big business. You'll also notice that they're all related places that have the same ideology and really dove into the idea of Robber Barons and Tycoons of the Guilded age
I really like your channel because the problems you mentioned are very relatable to everyone without your own political view involved. They're all close to home problems that both immigrants and Canadians are facing on a daily basis. I went to college in Canada with a hope that I'd be able to make a living there, but then it dawned on me that there's no future for me. All the problems you mentioned are just too real, even Canadians are struggling so bad, I don't know how my 20 year old self with very little knowledge of the world could make it. I didn't even like the weather. It was too cold for me. I was so depressed. I felt stuck. I'm so glad I don't have to be there anymore. We are lower middle class in Vietnam but even so my quality of life is way better in Vietnam than Canada.
I anticipated it couple of years back, the reason i saw it coming because of playing the financial markets. Feel sad about how people in Pakistan and India paying $50000 Canadian dollars to arrive there !!!
He’s intelligent, capable of peeling back the facade. Hopefully he can apply that to future predictions, if he can then he will be alright. I’m where I am today because I knew what was coming.
I almost moved to Canada from Europe 5 years ago. I feel like I dodged a bullet here, although Europe is also going down the drain in its own kind of way.
It most certainly is. I would never ever move to Europe. And if I lived in Europe, I would never ever move to the US - that is falling into the sewer pit more and more every single day.
I completely agree but it isn't communism. They have no interest in equality - even with a ruling class they have no interest in the rest being equal. It is about Fascism. An elite group ruling over everyone - however those people will not be made equal. Some will do okay and others won't. That's not Communism its Fascism.
I’m a third generation Canadian from Ireland and Italy. I’m currently living in the worst time to make money and afford to live no matter how hard you work. My parents tell me they feel bad for us young ones. We are living in a scam
I totally agree with you! The quality of life in Canada has decreased drastically. Some how after 12 years here we feel betrayed. The Health Care system with its endless lines, low specialists (it took me 1 year to get seen by a gynaecologist). People with cancer in Ontario should travel from any part to Toronto to get treated and pay all the travel expenses out of the pocket. I really liked when you asked yourself: what my high taxes are paying for? It seems we don’t have the return we wished for when we immigrated. We’re considering leave Canada.
Canada is nothing but a good PR. Once you get here slowly but surely you will be bled dry. As I always say, Canada from outside is like a red delicious apple in the store display. Once you bite in it you get the first surprise the good looking apple doesn't really taste good. Not sweet, little sour and bitter. As you eat closer to the core yoy find the apple is rotten inside. Yes, they are trying to lure here highly skilled people but the sad reality is that the requirements for taking jobs are often time way overblown. A technician from Europe can easily handle a job where they are looking for somebody with bachelor. The P.eng are not even real engineers. They are rather specialised lawyers. A have not seen so many inferior highly educated people with bachelor and professionals like in Canada. The only people worth here are the skilled trade how are often time have more brain in their heads like the professional who supposed lead them. For wages doesn't much matter how much you make because more you make, more they tax you and there in no incentive to bust your balls because by the time you get somewhere you will be so tired that you can not enjoy your free time. It did happened with many people and not many enjoy their retirement. Shity weather most of the time, for sure raining on every goddamned long weekend and very little vacation time. You work a lot, everything cost you a lot, shity education, shity health care and even shitier pension if you can make it. Don't come here, it is a trap. They told me this 30 years ago, I didn't believe but now I see. The video is right, hard to leave because you need strategy how to get your money out. The stupid banking system doesn't allow you to wire your hard earned money just like that.
Can you please elaborate a bit more on getting money out of Canada? Are you saying it is difficult to retrieve the funds one brings to Canada if they decide to wire them out back to their home country?
@@MrBuckeye401 If you want to experience a cosmic revelation then I suggest you, go to your bank nad ask them if you would have let say 500k in your acount because you sold everything and you whish to transfer this money to another country into a bank account. Let see what kind of options they give you and for how much.
@@HDGameWizard How many 28 year olds are living that good???? In the US???? With 50 - 100K in SAAAVVINGS???? 28?? NOT. Maybe 40. Live here is not what it used to be in the US. The glory days here were the 80s and back. Many 28 year olds are still living at home just trying to get going in life.
@@MrBuckeye401 No, it can be wired, this is NOT true, what this person says. I asked in Royal Bank. You can wire large sum of money with no problem anywhere in the world.
There is nothing new about the “Canadian Myth”. For decades many immigrants have come to Canada only to be disappointed with life here for a variety of reasons. The situation is definitely worse now. My wife arrived in 1999, and was surprised at how different things were relative to what she expected. And it’s true, Canadians in general are struggling, not just immigrants. It’s survival of the fittest, not just in Canada but in many parts of the developed world, including the US and UK. I guess anyone thinking about moving to Canada should do their research, and maybe read some online forums before taking the plunge.
As a Canadian born in Canada, it breaks my heart when I meet a immigrant who has recently immigrated to this country and was an engineer or someone with professional status in their native country working in retail or some other position that they take because they are told that their degree doesn't qualify for the type of job they came to this country for. Shameful.
I don’t. I was an international student in Australia. This was when Facebook was brand new. I was still able to work out a budget by looking at grocery prices, renting costs etc. It’s inexcusable to come to a country and not do your due diligence. The information is widely available. They want out of a shitty situation and to bring their family over. It’s all too much too fast. I don’t care anymore to be polite about it.
That falls into the too bad category. You need to do your homework. You can’t just get a job as a doctor without being properly assessed to check you actually have the skills your resume says you have when you come from some shithole country. No sympathy for them. If they don’t like it they can always go back.
@@Hudpix16 ohh you just figured it out now? lol, the channel is all about going back home for lack of opportunities,, not all people are doctors, bring it down a bit Doctor stop being snub.
I assure you, their university diploma usually means nothing. I once talked to someone with an electrical degree and found out their extent of knowledge was house wiring… They aren’t up to snuff. We hire people with those and find out they don’t know anything. It’s so bad that when we see people with diplomas from universities from other countries we disregard it completely. I think a big problem is that a lot of the immigrants basically lie/fluff their way into the country. They think Canada is easy mode, lie to get in, realize their mistake and leave after learning it’s actually hard. I found it hilarious when one guy actually landed a good job and saw the tax took off his paycheque. Like yeah buddy all those free services weren’t actually free, time to pay the piper. Too bad now though you don’t even get services, just pay higher tax lol.
@@zinithin-8208 Lying and thieving seems to be the norm in many of these third world countries, it's how they operate. I've been there, and Canadians are paying the price. You can see that also in Gt. Britain and there is a movement now, via the Govt. to send the illegal immigrants to Rwanda to make their claims for asylum, there. It's about time. There have been so many rapes of young girls, crime, etc. and hygiene issues like raw illegal meat choking up the sewer systems and now that is happening in Canada, (on the news last night. April 25,2024).) Illegal Halal butchers renting double garages in back alleys, with live goats inside, to slaughter in a most inhumane way. They've been caught, at last, but it's been going on for ages. There must be stricter rules told to them on entry that they must adhere to British Law, which is Canadian Law too and must adhere to our standards of hygiene ,culture and non-criminality. We all pay the price through our taxes. Immigration leads to more taxes for established Canadians. Many come here because someone has told them of the Social Welfare system and that they get everything for free. Of course, that is not true. There is a price to pay for goodies, nothing is free, someone is paying and it's probably your neighbours.
My brother came to Canada as a student and became a permanent resident in 2022. He left Canada and came back to his country in 2023. Housing, Healthcare, Homelessness, Crime, Cost of living are all out of control in Canada.
@@Abhsjsjdn Canada has 2 murders/100k. Most European countries are about 0.5-1/100k, so it's higher than those but there are a dozen countries well over 20. Global avg is 6. So ok fair enough, it's higher than some places but "out of control" is quite a stretch. Street robberies are extremely low in Canada also
@@paulg6274 my experience is different, almost every international female student has been raped atleast once in Canada. Common method is when guys pull up cars near bus stops during winter and tell them in smart Canadian accent they will drop them... And they drug them or take them elsewhere and use them. The girls are new to Canada and scared so they don't share. One Punjabi girl I know was caught by 4 Bangladeshi men near Etobicoke.... She had to go to doctor
Born in Canada, living on the border but travel frequently in the US. As soon as you cross the border into Canada, you see the difference in lifestyle and economic conditions. Our homes and businesses look poorer, more hard scrabble in appearance. People and businesses look like they are struggling and barely holding on. People are generally angry and services limited with abrupt, rude staff. Everything looks run-down. The streets and infrastructure are patched up, insufficient and deteriorated. Bums and trash everywhere. In contrast the US has attractive, clean, well-kept, nicely decorated homes, many choices of businesses with plentiful stock and friendly, helpful service. Streets and infrastructure well maintained. The US has its poor and abandoned areas too, but generally speaking, the difference in the standard of living and working is quite glaring. We Canadians are looking more like the Poor Relations than ever.
It is very nice to see others realizing all this and making videos, thank you for that. I immigrated in 2018 and I totally understand you and agree with you. Imagine a place where most of the new comers dreams is going back to where they came from. Housing is extremely expensive.. Groceries expensive.. Any sort of entertainment is expensive.. Lack of healthcare, quality of education, infrastructure simply is not enough, quality of the homes are bad (Even if I had a million dollars, I do not see myself buying a structure built from card boards in the middle of nowhere to be honest). Wages are low, taxes are high, weather is harsh, there is nepotism. You can't afford to travel.. And after 40 years, you are looking at like a 1000 cad / month for retirement.. If you max your CPP contributions.. It is also very unfortunate for Canadian middle class and blue collar workers. All these immigrants accepting low wages (because they have no other option) and stealing jobs from the Canadians here. Hopefully they know immigrants were misguided as well. They were told there is a lack of workforce here. Clearly it is not the case as many of the skilled immigrants become Uber drivers or warehouse workers. And that creates competition even in the jobs that require no skills. My biggest dream is going back. I will be the happiest person when I can afford to do so. Enjoy your stay brother..
I think most Canadians are aware that you were sold a bad bill of goods.We feel terrible that the most recent immigrants that came in are living in tents and in the cold, Canadians have NEVER gone hungry or un housed like there in now. This is no good for new comers or Canadians as resentments can build in some. I pray things get better for us all soon 🙏
It used to be good here. I came here 20 years from Eastern Europe. Salaries were competitive, housing was affordable, healthcare was somewhat slow buy manageable. For around 10 years it was ok. Then the artificially low intetest rates pushed everyone to speculate into housing. With returns in the TENS of percents per year, every single Slav, Punjabi, Canuck, Quebecker and whatever flocked to buy houses. You already had a house? RENT IT, it will cover the mortgage AND the maintenance. People started going crazy, Big Short US style. Everyone with a pulse was buying. Low interest , 0 downpayment loans. Then the foreigners started buying too, because where the hell will you get such returns on your money? Now, this has been going since 2010. Add Covid inflation and house prices DOUBLED. On top of this pile of trouble, Trudeau literally took a shit on tbis country by importing milliions of illegals. You had to wait for 4 years so you could come to Canada through the points system? Not anymore. Just cross the border. Boom, healthcare and welfare for all arrivals! We are tolerant! Print more money! And this shit went on for 6 years. At this point any immigrant like the author will of course think that Canada is a scam. From his point of view, it is. From mine, it is a vestige of what used to be. A reputation for one of the best living standards for 30 consecutive years ruined in just 2 decades. If you are thinking of immigrating here now in 2024, don't. Just don't. Eastern Europe is a better choice. Not joking. Good luck
I know many families from Central Europe, that have been living here for 30 years. They sold their houses and moved back to their "home" country. Their parents left Europe because they wanted a better future for their children. The same is happening right now, they are leaving for the same reason.
The cost of living in Canada is insane, especially when minimum wage is well below the livable wage and the vast majority of jobs are minimum wage. If you want to be able to live by yourself with the current minimum wage you'd need to work around 12 hours a day 6 days a week just to make ends meat, and have fun actually finding a job that'll even offer that amount of hours because most businesses will only hire part time so they don't need to provide benefits. The real estate market is just the extra punch to the gut. Everything is priced out of this world
I wish I could give this video many more likes: 👍👍👍👍👍👍❤ It hits home on many levels. Now, I should mention that I had a very different experience as an immigrant, but that was *over four decades ago.* Back then, the myths (propaganda) were far closer to the truth. But the Canada of today is not the country I moved to. This place has rapidly deteriorated over the past decade or two. The economy has ballooned into a *giant real estate bubble* --- that simply cannot continue. The *health care system* is a scam, and I can see that more clearly now that I am older and more in need of it. The middle class is reaching vanishing point, retirement is a mirage, and every adult member of a working household is out there scraping together hours at jobs (that are vanishing) in pursuit of fiat currency that is losing purchasing power every day. I, and several people I know, are looking at opportunities to *escape* to other countries with *more freedom* and where things may be more affordable. Meanwhile Canada is practically *STEALING* people from countries even poorer (for now) than Canada; countries that spent hard-earned money educating and training those people, and could use them to develop their own economies and societies. I am very fortunate, and (the old) Canada was very good to me; but most of my life is behind me. If you are young, and you still have family values and dreams of making a better future for yourself and your loved ones, I'd strongly advise you to look elsewhere. Stay away from the cold, broken hell that Canada has become.

I love that immigration is now stealing people, that's hilarious. Immigration was always seen as a good thing for the immigrants and the effect on their countries of departure was ignored completely, most likely because those countries are doomed to be places that people want to leave for a very long time.
What is the cause of all this? Do you think the political party in power and the people above them have a hand in this? Asking because I was seriously considering moving to Canada but now rethinking my decision
@alexmercer8757 This current corrupt government is largely to blame. There is so much corruption it boggles the mind. Don't move here, you'll regret it.
Really well done video and your argument is on point. I was born and raised here and the last 10-15 years has really bought a change for the worse. The Downtown East Side has always been a hub for drugs and misery, but now it's everywhere and it feels like the walls are closing in. I am working on my departure from this country because I can't see a change for the better coming.
not it is not, this video is a lie and so is everyone else on here making evidence based comments, just watch CBC news and Mainstream media and hollywood movies it will be all right...do it...do it now......@@joesmellington800
Thank You for Making This Video!!! This completely reinforced my oh so growing belief that this is a terrible decision and made me reconsider moving to Canada ever. Thank God I didn't make such a life-crushing mistake.
Hello Alex! I am an immigrant in Canada who recently got citizenship. All I can say is, I totally agree with you. Most of the time what waits immigrants here is just misery and exploitation with underpayment and taxes. I am also right now working on my exit plan and hopefully will be out of here soon!
Me and my wife immigrated to Canada in 2018. We noticed all that stuff you mentioned in your video. However, we were stack because 1 year leasing agreement. After that we decided to stay and get a citizenship. What I would add, we met passive aggressive attitude in big cities and sometimes even discrimination. It’s unacceptable in developed countries. So, we moved back after 5 years of struggling in Canada and now we are more that happy 😊
I came to Canada 9 years ago from Moscow, Russia. Not in search of a better life (the quality of life in Moscow is hard to beat, and I was well familiar with conditions in Canada), but because I was offered to join an interesting research project, I’m a scientist. For the first several years, I had to subsidise my life here with my savings from Russia, and now I’m working on moving back, only with less money than what I came with 9 years ago…

Canada has always been pretty on the outside and dirty on the inside. Now it has been rendered painfully raw due to exacerbating circumstances. Corrupt...but with a smile and a handshake. Poor, but looks rich. Racist, but acts openly diverse. Claims compassion, but kills citizens medically and gives narcotics to addicts instead of treatment options. Free medical care that is not free in any way, nor is it health care unless you can afford to seek care abroad. Speaks morally, but lacks morals. Canada exquisitely demonstrates hypocrisy!
Who controls the real estate market in Canada? I bet it’s those whose name you can’t mention.
yeap it is rotten corpoaration and a fake primised land , a mouse trap with moldy cheese , with no real future for the young
Well said Canadians lack a sense of self awareness and have no problem doing and saying to others things they wouldn’t be able to handle themselves with out some exclamation or angry response I’m trying to leave myself cause I’m surprised I was born in the same country as these people
I feel amazed at the accuracy of what you state here! Thank you so much for the summary, I will always refer to it! Sometimes we live in our own small world and we dont acknowledge the raw truth which stares right in our faces! Most people live thinking "hey, others are doing it, so will I"! which is so wrong. Boy, this is so true!
I wish everyone had ur level of intelligence and genuinely wouldn’t be in this mess!
The rapid decline of quality life here in the last 10 years is astonishing.
13 years since I arrived in Canada, can’t agree more. It’s insane and people keep voting and choosing for the same, I don’t understand.
I find it crazy that the metro pass tax credits got taken out during that time while give expensive EVs subsidies plus free charging (i.e. if you got money to get on that, then you get rewarded, while the people on foot get shafted and pay with their taxes for things they can’t afford).
And let’s not get into real estate, food and whatnot… I’m starting to see even Canadian Tire stores having insane security (like tourniquets that won’t roll except if the cashier presses a button so people don’t run away with things).
Not a single brick is thrown, so I guess we deserve it…

@@gwarlow Exactly, read the chat and everyones like "its the same in my country!"
@@gwarlow Most people wanting to leave Canada are no longer looking to what used to be considered a 1st world country. Great Britain is worse off than Canada. The US is a bit better, but is also imploding because of government policy (open borders etc). Older middle class people who want to preserve the small amount of wealth they've worked their entire lives for can easily afford to leave this sinking ship. Staying in Canada under "progressive" socialists governments will seriously erode those savings. It's unfortunate, but as more people leave so does their wealth which makes the situation in Canada even worse. Canadians have done this to themselves. Being educated on who we vote for should be a priority and as we've seen has serious consequences. I've saved and invested for 41 years and very close to retirement and have been looking at South or Central America. I visited Costa Rica last summer. It's a beautiful country and it's on my radar. I'm not going to idly sit by while a "progressive" government takes everything I've worked hard for.

Better leave sooner than later because the Trudeau liberals are doubling the emigration tax penalty and tacking on an additional $25,000 on top of that to stop you from leaving. You'll have to pay $35,000 out of pocket to emigrate to ANY other country. You are about to be taken hostage by your government. Soon your only option will be to illegally hop the border after liquidating everything you own and slowly converting it to USD and working under the table just like the south americans. I dont know how much more Canadians can take before they stage a coup.
You shouldn’t be the one leaving homie.
I'm an immigrant myself, I came here (GTA) in my early 20's in 1992 from Eastern Europe and started with nothing, I've done well financially, but only because I got into real estate very early, when things were affordable. Here are my random thoughts:
1. Canadian dream died suddenly, 6-8 years ago you could still buy townhouse or a semi in GTA for half a million, then things took off, prices doubled and an entry level in Toronto is now $1M, why?
- central banks policies to ARTIFICIALLY keep interest rates at zero led to asset bubbles, stocks, real estate, if you got on the train you benefited, but if you had no assets to invest you got poorer and poorer. It applies to most of the developed world
- foreign money inflows, money laundering: Canada is a small market, we're talking couple of big cities, Vancouver, Toronto, it is easy to be distorted. You have Chinese, Middle East, Russian money flowing in and getting parked in housing. I personally met a Chinese man who owns at least dozen houses in Toronto and 3 cottages. On my street alone I counted at least 5 detached homes that are 'investment rentals' all in the range of $1.6M, owned by overseas investors. Vancouver is practically owned my mainland China, nobody is doing anything to control that, why not? It wouldn't be nice, would it be racist?
- government turned a blind eye to massive speculation, house flipping etc. Flippers made fortunes speculating, why work when you can make few hundred thousands doing nothing? Why hasn't the government done anything about it, tax the speculators to death etc??
2. Uncontrolled immigration, infrastructure like roads, public housing, hospitals are all lagging behind, you can't bring millions of people here and have no place for them to live. Do you see any affordable rental units being built? All I see are million dollars condos. Totally insane, Trudeau is a disaster
3. Crime is on the rise, car thefts, house breake-ins. Not too long ago you could leave you car unlocked and now?
4. Unfortunately Canada is not alone, if you look at Europe most countries struggle with the same problems, open borders led to housing shortages, high rents etc. The list of countries that are good is getting shorter
5. Is Canada a good place to immigrate to? Absolutely not, if you're a professional you should not come here, your chance of making a better living at your own country is higher, in Canada fulfilling career path maybe only a dream, you will always be an ESL and will have disadvantages (like communication skills etc..) that will hinder your advancement. Besides, cost of living is so high that even when making six figures you will still be a debt slave, because most of your money will go to taxes.
6. Who can still come here? Unskilled labor, if you come from a poor 3rd world country there are still jobs (trades, truck driving etc) that can pay you enough to live better life than back home.
7. I don't know what advice to give to people. There was a time when I was coming back to Canada after visiting my homeland country and I had this feeling that it was coming home and I felt happy to be here. That feeling is long gone, things are now reversed, people back home live better lives than me. In general I think the Western world is declining, it may still look good from outside, but reality is different.

This is the truth!! Even as a Canadian nurse. I can barely afford to live. Pay small mortgage, and have a used car... barely ever go out for meals. Choose activities that are free or reasonable priced. This is no country to live as a single.. an immigrant, or a young person. I work extra shifts to pay for vacation.
Get married.
Move to the USA. If you're a RN, you can work for any employer for up to three year terms under the Free Trade Agreement with nothing more than a job offer. No immigration sponsorship required.

Canada is an employment wasteland.

I grew up in Vancouver, BC. After High School, I served in the Canadian Armed Forces where I learned a skilled trade. After discharge, I was shocked to find that Transport Canada would not recognize my skills and wanted me to go through a trades school and apprenticeship program like I never had training nor work experience. Also, even in the year 2000, in Vancouver it was $500,000 CAD for just for a one bedroom condo. A single family house in Surrey and Delta was approaching a million CAD. Luckily, I met an American Woman, we got married and eventually moved to the United States. The American's version of Transport Canada had no problems accepting my CAF Experience and Training. I was easily able to write my tests and become a journeyman. Canada may have been a great country in the 1970s when my parents emigrated to Vancouver, but that Canada is long gone.

I'm an elderly lady now, we emigrated from England in the late 70's, with three children. My eldest, a daughter became a nurse and she got killed by a rogue driver who got no punishment. So that's one regret I have., to put it mildly.
My husband was lured here by a big company and we thought the wages offered were marvellous and we decided to give Canada a go. However, on living here for a while, we found that we were no better off, in fact, we were worse off. We stuck it out because of the children, but found the education was substandard, compared to England. Our kids did well, all professionals, but struggled, for years financially, except my youngest who works for the Govt. Married, they're both Govt. employees, so they did quite well. I'm considering returning to my homeland, England. There's a whole website of people returning to the UK. Since Trudeau got in, this country has become a disaster.

To the author or presenter of this video, thank you for your courage to tell this story. Regrettably, many people will not
believe this is happening in Canada, and I hope too many do Not try and find out the hard way. Although, I admit that the same is happening in many countries. After living in Canada for over 48 years, I have exhausted most of my savings,
by trying to help my six children move along the slippery slope. Today, I am living on my pension, almost like a hermit.
True, when I came to Canada, my engineering diplomas, nor my practical experience in the Plastics industry were not
recognized. I landed, because the government desperately needed my wife to work as a Specialized Psychiatric Nurse.
YES! It is a scam, and getting worse each day.
just for the record...I'm born and raised Canadian, not an immigrant. Life is an absolute struggle right now...and I own a car, own my home, etc. I do not know HOW people are living so financially careless right now. Hard times haven't even arrived yet, tbh. So buckle up. Leave Canada if you can!
As a white woman I got kicked out of my job at 33 by bully terrorist like immigrants. They were Chinese and Americans in my case. But later in life I've dealt with Indian, Indonesians, Russians.....as immigrants they're all the same. New Canadians don't respect Canadians. They practice nepotism and racism, claiming their people need jobs more and some go so far as to practice crimes to make it happen. Even though they're coming here with 2-10x the net worth our families have. So you're lucky you survived long enough to own your own car and home. I couldn't find a partner with a job. The only man I found was minimum wage. And I couldn't hold onto my Condo long enough or pay it off before I lost everything being blockaded out of the job market. A Chinese person took that from me too. Didn't have much choice but to sell. Abandonment is all we're getting. It doesn't really matter who you are...if you're not wealthy and own a company already. You're done in this country...

I never felt so reduced and dehumanized in my life standing in reception and begging for mercy fso my husband can see a doctor.. Our household income is 350K a year half of which is going to taxes. We are considering leaving.
Keep in mind you're subsidizing your own misery ("feeding the beast" as it were) by staying. There is no political solution because the system corrupts those selected for power before they get it. That's why it seems like there is One Big Uniparty.
Yes. The medical system is only supporting ethnic Canadians. Not local Canadians. This explains how you make so much money. We aren't allowed to make any. My household income was 20k a year on salary work...but only temporary contracts because I wasn't allowed to be employed full time in my home. I had to do the work for an uneducated Russian heir....who was useless. You folks farm us like slaves.
Why did you feel the need to beg? This makes no sense
I just found a new doctor in Vancouver no problem. You have to sign up with a doctor recently out of school. My doctor wears running shoes without any socks- so what, I think his knowledge is probably better than an older doctor because he just graduated. Or you can also go to drop in clinics, which are perfectly fine. Sometimes having the same doctor for years is not good. You can visit drop in clinics more than once over the same issue if for example you didn't get results with the first doctor. I really have no idea why you would be begging....
If you don't have access to good healthcare, no matter how much you make, it is worth nothing.

As an American nurse, I would see so many Canadians come to the hospital with the same pattern:
1. “Just visiting”
2. Felt “sudden pain”
3. Gets all the scans, blood work, etc
4. Request all of above to take home
5. Don’t seem shocked by the diagnosis
6. Refuse treatment after scans done and insist on going home
I realized after some time that something was wrong
The free healthcare system in Canada that I admired in reality was flawed.
They actually came here because it took forever to have these things done, let alone see a doctor.😮
Not surprising. It is a common thing for people to vacation to their home country for dental, vision and healthcare scans and treatment. Otherwise, you wait to death. The US system has it's cons, paying out of the nose isn't the best but Canadians are not doing well, either. We pay taxes for unprovided medical care.

@@Fausaidoug I would love to take credit but it’s just an observation. They kept their original appointments with their doctor in Canada, then would get a complete work up after becoming “suddenly ill”.
Before discharge, they would promptly request any radiology reports on a CD to bring to their next appointment. This was something a nurse that had ties to Canada explained.
So sorry that you have to deal with this🙏🏾. I hope everything works out 🙏🏾
I live on Vancouver Island, a huge place where the provincial capital is located. I have not been able to find a doctor in six years, and when I needed a specialist, it took eight months. Rents are well over $3000 in Vancouver, for a one bed apartment. In Yoronto, one out of five people cannot afford their rent. Tent cities are everywhere.
And that's the nail on the head... People came and rushed right into things, bought a house... Then realized they can't keep a stable job, the weather is miserable, the taxes are high, your purchasing power is low, you've got all these payment still. The best option for many is to declare bankruptcy and leave.
People won't do that because of sunken cost fallacy and it will get worse and worse for them.

I was born in Canada and after nearly 50 years, I can agree with everything you said but want to extend your sentiments beyond immigrants. Life in Canada is extremely difficult for most here. Many are clinging on to their homes and jobs, for if they lose either of those, life changes drastically and very quickly. You can be comfortable and suddenly poverty stricken within a very short time, with no prospects.
Bullshit!
"You'll own Nothing and be Happy"
Klaus's minions hard at work
"We Penetrated ze cabinet... in countries like Canada and Argentina"
How did that turn out? Not so well
Canadians have a problem with self esteem, and adoration/fixation of some idyllic European model, it's much more noticeable in Canada than in US. A lot of posing in Canada to appear to be like a perfect Nordic healthcare and welfare model when in reality it's really third world and really run down and completely fake and ineffective. I think it comes from insecurities, ignorance and incompetence. Like peasants constantly looking for global validation, like they never actually feel good enough about themselves until some Klaus von Bullsh*t says that you are good enough or worthy of something. I actually used to work as an engineer for a Swiss based and run Auto parts design and manufacturing company - I was so not impressed with their ways - took me about a week to figure out that they have as much of the same BS as everywhere else. And you have total clowns in Canadian government worshipping the total clowns in Switzerland around that Economic forum who have never ever done a single day of any actual work in real industry in their entire life. I don't know exactly what to call that - but it is sad and hilarious to look at. It's no surprise to me the direction Canada is headed, I checked current PM's background back in 2016 - Canada is exactly where I expected it to be back in 2016 with competent leadership like that. Stephen Harper was also pretty dumb and delusional, pompous about so many things, while having little to no clue how any industry works other than the oil industry.

@@user-xg6zz8qs3q how are the bedbugs/street fires?
In 1965 my dad made $5 000 a year. The house my parents bought was $7 000. The car cost $1 500. Today the same house in Toronto is $1 000 000 and both parents are working and can’t afford to have kids.About half the income also goes to taxes !
I know eh. My parents thought us all crazy spending what we did on housing back in the '60s and '70s.
But now I think people are crazy at the prices they are willing to pay me for the small unit I open.
Everybody has a different crazy I guess.
Wouldn’t it be amazing if you could by a house today for 1.4x your annual income?
For that to be true today, that $5000/yr would have to be something like $357,000 (for a $500,000 home). And that’s assuming the tax rate’s the same.
That is what everyone wonders, why is it so difficult and this was happening since the 80's. The people who had parents who kept their homes bought at that time were lucky. But it should be like that as a basic part of being a citizen in any country.
Thanks for the gouvernment and banking system
$7,000 for a house in 1965? In what city?
My parents bought a home in Toronto in 1966 for $24,000.
immigrating to canada destroyed my life. after YEARS of fighting, paying fee after fee after fee, for applications and required documents. Only to settle here....have a family, work myself near to death, lose job, lose home, and widowed at nearly 50 years old. now i pay 600 a month to sleep on someones couch and cant feed myself, house myself, or recieve ANY form of medical attention for mental health....I know now that i will most likely die alone in the woods sooner rather than later.....canada tempted me with a shiney carrot....and now ive been left to starve and die alone, unable to find a way out. DONT COME TO CANADA....YOU WILL LOSE EVERYTHING. and before you ask, I am a tradeswoman, 32 years painting residential and commercial , highschool grad, NO CRIMINAL RECORD AND NO DRUGS OR ALCOHOL. CANADA HAS BEEN PREFECTILY HAPPY TO LET US SLIP THROUGH THE CRACKS AND NO ONE CARES
where'd you come from?
My family has lived in Vancouver for over a century, the only reason I can live like it do around this city is because of the generational wealth that was acquired over the past 30 years of the insane real estate gaming.
I have absolutely no idea why people keep immigrating to this city, especially post 'rona. Current day you need at least $500k CAD converted per person now to move here to live middle class. If you're a little below ($350k-500k) that then you will get trapped by a money sucking mortgage. If you're a lot below that ($0-350k) you will live in a "leased existence" and be trapped in forever renting property and leasing cars, you will have no assets to pass on to your children living here; You will be poor, they will be poor, your grandchildren will be poor.
I genuinely feel bad for refugees coming to Canadian cities and I wish I could tell them to find somewhere, literally anywhere else to live for the time being. They'd be better roughing it out in Sask, Manitoba or going East Coast than dealing with this terrible quality of life the major cities have.
In 2015 we had a Federal Election. One of the major deciding factors of that outcome was immigration. The Conservative government announced that it was planning to reduce immigration if re-elected and this soured a lot of Canadians in major cities, especially those had received recent citizenship and were afraid their family or friends would be barred. They mistakenly turned to the Liberals, ignoring the double edged sword. Sure they'll allow people into Canada, but they didn't expect everything in the country to become more expensive.
Lifelong Canadians know the Liberal Government believes in spending and subsidies, it doesn't believe in things like budget balancing and budget cuts, when it needs more money they just create more taxes, compound taxes and compound on compound taxes. They think people aren't wise to them taking your money and then giving it back in subsidies, but only if you "do the right thing". They also create a lot of blackhole money, significant amounts of money that just seems to disappear as they hold no accountability to spending and who (usually their friends) they're spending it on (see CanApp).
On the Federal and Provincial Government levels, there's been an outright failure of both BC and Ontario with regards to Vancouver and Toronto cities as they are offshore tax shelters and money laundering operations. The government is 100% getting a kickback indirectly from inflated property values and I would not be shocked if they also had a illegal direct kickback for allowing it to continue even until present day. Residential Real Estate values will never go down in these cities apart from our friends to the South going at with China or a major disaster like an earth quake which completely sinks Richmond. Every other case of property value decline will just have them and friends dump in more cash to prop their investments back up.
As you asserted, immigration is being used by the Liberals to suck money into the country. Rich or poor they don't care, they want you here for your money and hard work, but mostly money. The Liberal government is great at "selling the dream" and many people find out the hard way that it comes at a cost. An actual straight up non-figurative cost, and a significant one.
They didn't tell you that your education isn't recognized by Canada so you'll have to re-study and work at Crappy Tire for $15/h for 2 years?
That once you do get back to your career you might make $70k/y but only actually take home $50k?
Of that $50k/y net everything you purchase still has taxes attached?
That S D house prices are now $1.2M and you simply don't qualify for a mortgage for that amount and never will?
Of course they didn't!
It's always a laugh when Vancouver gets placed in the "Best places to live" articles. It's a joke.
It's the best if your Mr. Peanut big bucks, it sucks for 99.99% of the rest us who have to slave day in and day out around this place, especially now a bunch of Tranq-ed out zombies and skids roam around a great part of downtown thanks to "safe supply".
If you think it's bad today, it's going to still get worse thanks to electing this Fed Lib-NDP coalition in '21. They can't build enough houses in the cities for the people they want to bring in the next few years. As mortgage rates decrease we can expect more huge property value jumps as well as insane fighting and increased rates for places to rent. With re-zoning from single detached homes to multiplexes and new highrise developments in smaller communities we do not have the infrastructure for this. We don't have the roads, public transit, parking, healthcare, police to deal with this. Vancouver traffic is already horrendous and now the Feds and Province think it's fine to 2-4x the density everywhere? They're out of their minds.
The absolute mess the Fed Conservatives are going to inherit next year will take them a whole term just to figure out how to solve it. They will need minimum 3 terms to get somewhat back on track.
/rant
And you know the naive and ignorant voter base will question why the country isnt back to normal in 4 years time, blame the conservatives, and then re-elect the same party who got us into this mess.
@Exage304 Great points! Thank you.
> but they didn't expect everything in the country to become more expensive.
Which is pure foolishness. Artificially increasing the number of people in the country will always cause this issue. There should be nothing wrong with the acknowledgment that if the population doesn't boom, you'll at least be building stability instead of always chasing a useless increase in GDP.
> The absolute mess the Fed Conservatives are going to inherit next year will take them a whole term just to figure out how to solve it.
There is no short-term solution and they will be blamed for not having an immediate impact but the #1 decision, which I don't think they will take, is immediately drop migration from 1.2 million per year to as close to 0 as they can while still admitting those with very good, specific degrees. Doctor? Sure. Lawyer? No thanks, we have enough. Engineer? What type? And then speed up the process of having them be qualified for Canadian licensing.
I don't disagree with the main message you and the youtuber are trying to express. I agree for the most as I wrote in another thread. There are some good things about this place though. The police are not so terrible here, like in over 25 years living around lower mainland I've never been stopped questioned by Police once, or coerced, intimidated in any way - the authorities prefer to leave everybody alone - and that's a good thing. If you are not a drug addict then you can improve your health in Vancouver - lots of outdoor activity opportunities, and also health food supply - like salmon, blueberries, chia seeds, avocados, brocolli - things like that are everywhere - salmon and blueberries are actually cheaper than in most other countries where they are not available at all, and brocolli as well - a lot of countries don't have it at all. The worst part is that most people seem very sad, stressed out and so on - what I notice a lot lately. Oh yes, and you would have to be crazy at this point to pick this country or city to raise a family, children specifically - it's really not for that at all anymore. What I heard about a family doctor - you just have to be persistent in your search and you can find one within a month, though it might take some effort.
red all what you said ..if you think immigrant are the problem it easy to solve...btw you writing no sense ..
Canada is quickly becoming a 3rd world country thanks to total mismanagement by successive governments. As a Canadian who was born and lived here all my life, 65 years now, I have never ever seen things so bad and would never recommend anyone ever move here, at least until things improve, hopefully they will.

Imagine having to leave your home country because of how dangerous it is. Living abroad your whole life. Loosing connection with family. Moving to places you cant make a home in, and this one is included in. And having to think where else can you go to feel safe. But after a few countries…. This… is exhausting and terrifying as you get older.

I came to Canada from Thailand 25 years ago for post unfergrad education and have been living in Canada ever since. I have witnessed changes in Canada, particularly in housing affordability, unreasonably high food prices and lower accessability to healthcare, especially after the pandemic. However, people from outside, particularly those from developing counteies, view Canada as the place of their dreams. I was surprised when I went back to Thailand last year and learned about a girl who was coming to study at U of Saskatchewan. No offense abiut the university but did she know how nothingess Saskatchewan is compared to big city that never sleep like Bangkok??? I couldnt comprehend how someone would be paying a lot of money for international student tuition to be in the middle of nowhere and downgrade their lifestyle so drastically. For what???
I went the other way. In 2013 I moved to Chiang Mai. Every day I am thankful for that decision. Maybe you forgot about the food here?

Thank you for leaving this hell hole
The overwhelming number of newcomers end up living in basements in Canada, and employed in low paying manual jobs. It's mind boggling why many newcomers give up their well paying jobs and stable life for a chance to immigrate to Canada...Think 10 times before moving to Canada.
Exactly, Canadian propaganda is VERY convincing.
I don't see newcomers working many low paying manual labour jobs. They're mainly just working fast food, the early job experience young Canadian teens used to get.
If you had a good paying middle income job in a third world country with CHEAP cost of living you were pretty dumb to come here.
There are people who had immigrated way before everything went bad, or they fail to admit that they have made a mistake, and they make money by helping future immigrants with Canadian CVs and teaching them “networking”. Or it’s a kind of a psychological compensation for them to tell everybody that they are doing great.

In my case, before December 2023 I had been preparing to move to Canada from Kazakhstan for 1 year with my wife, she had to study in Canadian college in Vancouver, and I got my work permit visa. So, using this course of action we wanted to establish our permanent residency there over time. Finally the day of our flight came and on December 3 we arrived in Canada, Vancouver. 14 000 kilometers behind, one year of preparation also there, Canada had been our dream for a long period, and you know what! 😂 As soon as we arrived, at the same day that was already night December 4, I bought two tickets back to Kazakhstan😅 Something inside me was saying " go home, go home, right now!!! You don't need to stay even one month here, go!!!" I remember I felt like my body was kinda squeezed with a cramp, I felt that I wasn't in the place where I want to begin my new life. And as soon as I bought two tickets, I felt totally relieved. On December 6 we boarded the plane and went back to our country. I don't regret about this kind of "relocation" 😅 I guess that was the fastest try of immigration in the history 😂
I totally understand your decision. But why not do throughoutly research before you decide to move to Canada? In my case, I already worked hard for my whole life to pay tax, and now it's time for me to harvest ...after losing everything as my unescapable big lost time had came, I became too old to be hired, and too young to get retirements. So, I lost all with that unfortunate event. And my original country is not a best choice once people decided to escape from it.
I came to Canada 25 years ago. I am planning to go back to Europe. Canada is getting very expensive, crime rate is good up, diversity and inclusion b.s. ..

But those new imigranats that are coming lately is insane they want everything free ,not to work always blaming someone for their lazy attitude.
Criminals has more rights than hard working people....
I agree with everything you said except for the lazy part.
Most international students I know work 2 minimum wage jobs + college just to afford living in shared basement rooms with a rent three times whatever you paid for a unit back in the day. Tuition is 20k a year which they usually fully pay themselves. I also know a couple of them still sending money back home.
If that's lazy then I don't know what isn't
@@finiavanamandresy5460 Many Canadians have no idea how hard the migrants and international students work in this country. How much effort goes into working multiple jobs and paying taxes while also paying thrice what others paid previously. I was an international student before yet my mortgage payment is lower than what many of them pay for rent these days. I guess when life gets harder people always tend to blame those who can’t defend themselves much. Here in Canada it’s now recent immigrants and international students. But of course things are far more complex and precisely because they are largely uninformed, living life worry free, Canadians don’t know what’s going on with their economy and country.
You are so out of touch your an embarrassment new immigrants work 10x harder dealing with an insane cost of living something you never had to deal with don't blame the immigrants blame this greedy and irresponsible government
They did the same when they began to encourage immigration to Canada during 1880's. They told them it was good farm land when in fact it was rock, lakes, and forest for the large part.
I think Northern America is made of this, a scam.
Canada is good farmland... Rocks can be mined. Lakes and forests are good for water and housing materials.
What did you think they should expect back in the 1880s? My family came to Canada from Germany in the 1840s. They obviously survived by working their asses off.

I agree with everything you have said but I have to add one thing:
It is just as hard for any Canadians born after the 80s to "have a life" here. Every friend of mine in Generation Z is living in their parents basement or in one apartment with several roomates and barely have money for groceries. They often work multiple jobs and still struggle to make ends meet. The only group of Canadians who have it easier than everyone else are the older ones who already own property and already made their living here. Though they struggle in some ways as well. You can easily tell that anyone telling migrants or younger Canadians to "work harder" is from an older generation. There is no perspective nor compassion anymore from older generations.
You mentioned not having access to healthcare, while that is unfortunate, we both know that the healthcare in Canada is not good. I had to move to Europe to try and recieve treatment at a reasonable speed. I kept being refused for tests over the course of 2 years and I had the doctors tell me they "found nothing" after a blood test and stop trying, despite still having health issues. As soon as I got to Europe, I got the testing i needed and recieved treatments. For example, I needed an MRI and was able to get one WITHIN A WEEK.
I wish I could say that I had more friends that were leaving Canada but they all seem to stay and struggle. Their lives get harder every year. It is definitely hard to leave when you have no support system. I managed to leave because of my family's Kindness for letting me live with them and gain a savings.
I truly feel bad for the people that came to Canada hoping for a better life, just to find out that the current Canadian government treats even its own citizens terribly.
yes the older generation f***ed the young people.. made it impossible to emulate the previous social contracts.. not to mention a great transfer of wealth has occurred twice starting in 2008, essentially attacking the middle class and replacing it with cheap low educated labour force
Boomers could leave school as a Junior and walk into the nearest business to get a well paying job that could support an entire family with enough money to buy cheap land allowing them to build a home. Quit being lazy and just pull yourself up by your bootstraps whipper snapper!
@ghostinplainsight4803 , I've seen comment threads about boomers where they just don't "understand" the "boomer hate", that boomers had it "just as hard" , and anyone who brings this up as a topic is just a weak and bitter individual. Millennial and Gen Z are just entitled and selfish.
It's like being in the twilight zone.
Boomers; who got their start during times of low inflation, lived in a society that actually socially interacted in person, had low competition from immigration, social norms existed and they even knew what a woman was!
These same boomers, who had less government regulation, started importing cheaper labour to bring costs down, caused multiple financial crises, retired early and get to collect pension...
these same people are saying we're the entitled ones acting selfish.
When an migrated person starts to understand you know we have a problem
(*** A.S. Howdy, to you in Canada, here in Oz, we have parallel scenarios to yours. Today, Tuesday, there was a story on all TV outlets telling us that families are fleeing Sydney. Well, the real reason why families are FLEEING Sydney is White Flight. A few years ago, when the leader of the NSW state opposition, MP Mike Daley, stated this reality. ***)
At 6am, on Monday February 12/23, I boarded a train at Redfern railway station to travel to Liverpool. Between Burwood and my final destination there are 14 stations, and at EVERY one of them, people of non-Anglo/European heritages accounted anywhere between 90, to 95 percent of all the people I observed on the platforms. After alighting the carriage at Liverpool station, I would have passed at least 60 people between then and walking through the turnstile, and across the concourse. Of that number, I did not observe one single person I passed who was of an Anglo/European extraction.
Well, it comes as no surprise, of course, that the Anglo/European demographic in this 17km corridor of suburbs in western, and south western Sydney, is an absolute minority: and it’s been this way for about seven years. What is of significant disbelief, however, is to find that, in the decade since I last travelled on a train heading anywhere west of Strathfield is to realise that, non-AEs have surged from being well in excess of about 60 percent of the people you’d see on the platforms from around the end of 2013, to them now being a minimum of 90 percent of travellers.
The other very striking aspect that struck me on this sojourn, was seeing the plethora of high-rise apartment buildings that exist between Burwood and Merrylands. At a guess, there would be something in the vicinity of 250 high rise apartment buildings, on that stretch. With about 60 of them being crammed into the space/wedge along Parramatta Rd (including those at Olympic Park), just after the exit entry of the motorway.
A notable instance to convey, because I lived in the area many years ago, prevails with the 7 residential buildings that are on the right-hand side of the tracks just before, and adjacent to Granville station. In a bygone time, this location - as it has been the case with scores of other locations right across metropolitan Sydney - was once a light industrial estate. Whereas now, there would be a minimum of 1000, and up to 1200 people residing in these apartments. Needless to say, there isn’t a green space, or an amenity anywhere nearby these rather drab and dreary buildings.
The clear majority of dwellers living in these buildings are Asiatics. A significant chunk of those residing in the glut of buildings in Homebush West, being international students. So, because these souls are from big cities in China, means that they’re able to cope with these mind-numbingly boring circumstances, because it’s what they’ve grown up in.
According to data I’ve obtained from a person (who I’ve known for 11 years) working at the Chinese consulate in Sydney, told me that between November 2014, and November 2023, more than 100,000 people have come the PRC, and now reside in the sphere between Ashfield/Burwood/Homebush West, and Rhodes. This contact also told me that, the total number of ethnic Chinese in Sydney, whether they have a direct link to the PRC, either as immigrants or, being their offspring, is in excess of 620,000 people.
In comparison, in 1990, the number of ethnic Chinese spread across the whole of Sydney was less than 90,000. Hence ethnic Chinese - as it is most certainly the case, albeit more recently, occurs with the surging number of immigrants from India.

only migrants understand because they didn't go through the canadian "education" system
Thank you! I'm Canadian and my husband is a Bangladeshi immigrant. I used to be pro-immigration, and now I'm adamantly against it in 90% of cases. For all the reasons you mentioned in this video. It's so refreshing to see an immigrant Canadian understand the depravity of these topics and subjects, because from my experience, when trying to explain how we don't even have the infrastructure and resources to support our own Canadians first, let alone ensure masses of immigrants and refugees have access to housing and resources, immigrant folk get offended & go on the ''colonizer'' narrative about how we allegedly ''stole'' this land, which, newsflash - we didn't. These are the folks coming here, yet haven't even the slightest knowledge of our history, nor appreciation of it's land and people. They just want this fantasy life that Canada has sold to them. It's a destructive relationship. The immigrants want to use us for our resources & send their wealth back home to support their economies, and Canada wants to likewise, milk them dry & use them for our labor force. And in return, we have a society of native citizens who are angry with immigrants and our destructive immigration policies, making things more hostile for newcomers. When our focus should be government bodies.
How is it that my ancestors, had acres and acres of land - even my great grandmother bought her plot of land for like $700, which they built a large home on; and here I am, living in a slum apartment building in shameful conditions, overpopulated with newcomers coming from a single demographic, living paycheck to paycheck, with no foreseeable possibility of owning our own home? This is the reality most native Canadians of my generation are experiencing; hence the conservatives will likely gain political power & nothing will change. It's a sham for sure. Just watch the house of commons debates & you'll get a better picture of the clowns running our parliament. They act like grown children tossing around insults all day long, and taking zero accountability.
I'm glad you're speaking on this issue, even if it persuades newcomers not to come here. The situation is the same in America too, there is no ''American dream''. It's time we stop selling this fantasy.
Thank you so much for your courage. We have exactely the same in Europa. Alas, everyone is scared to statement her his anger in proper way. I have seen thies nightmare just in 2015. I was craying seeing almost young men invaded Europa with ill and stupid invitation. Old Europa, after terrible wars was blooming just and now we have every day dead and raped people. They are living for our taxes and money, doiing nothing. Even on TV was said, that almost 3 million emigrants are living on social help. They get money for hitting, housing, for children and for adults social help, while Europains are not able to pay for flat hitting and lot of the others duties demanded from government, that emigrants have even not idea, God save Canada and Europe!♥♥
Who cares about the history or what Canadians are about. That is the fault of the government who doesn't expect that knowledge anymore, and hasn't since I came in the early 70s. It's the government's fault that Canada is dying, not the immigrants.
Your comment reminded me of a traditional song, "Dégénération" - Quebecois Traditionalist Song" posted under that exact name here on TH-cam. It has English translation right below the subtitles.
I'm also an immigrant that became Canadian permanent resident and I also understand all of these issues. People who come and don't feel this way probably have not taken the time to learn about history and are also not paying attention to what reality is around, just waiting for some magical solutions given. We moved because my husband's job relocated an entire team and it seemed like a good opportunity. We were in the US before and I guess the idea of not being around the fear of mass shootings convinced us. My husband has his family in the US but we are from south America. I am from spanish family. Traveling around has been a part of our lives and we thought that an exchange of skilled workers could make societies more diverse but then when we looked at the reality of how this is playing out 😮. It's really unfortunate. If I was a Canadian born citizen I'd feel like this. I believe a right balance should exist between a healthy diverse society but also protecting the homeland and taking care of it
Well said 👏🏻thank you
This video is very true. As an immigrant in Canada, you're there to feed their elites and retirees. The cost of living is unbearable and the taxes don't make any sense with absolutely nothing you receive in return. I was so lucky to be able to leave last July. I was targeting Dubai and Qatar for a job but ended up getting a job in Kuwait. I'm not saying that Kuwait is a perfect place by any mean but I'm much happier now as I'm closer to my loved ones, able to make money and save a good amount of money every month, laid back and relatively relaxing job (I understand the work experience I used to gain in Toronto was better but there're always pros and cons) and finally, I'm able to travel 4 or 5 times a year. I went to Central Asia last autumn, to Kazakhstan again in the new year, I'm going to Bosnia after 2.5 weeks, and in June I will probably visit Russia or another place. I'm still grateful for living in Canada as I grew there a lot and I learned it the hard way that Canada isn't the perfect place I was hoping to find but I'm even more grateful for the opportunity of being out of Toronto and of getting my salary in full without paying any silly taxes and without extremely expensive groceries, insurance, entertainment, etc... Bottom line, if you're an immigrant and can live somewhere else where you can make more money or save more money and where you can travel and enjoy life then do it and do it quickly. Otherwise, you will end up burning yourself for nothing in Canada.
Well said 😢😢😢😢
How did you get a job in Kuwait? I got into Canada in 2019 as a PR and I am looking to leave. The cost of leaving coupled with poor career prospects is making leaving here untenable.
How did you get a permit in UAE or Quatar? I wanna do that as well
@raspberrymediapost8186 I got a job in Kuwait, not the UAE or Qatar. You just need to apply for the right job and the company will get you the visa there. The UAE and Qatar are more advanced than Kuwait and the quality of life is higher but Kuwait is cheaper. Also, I grew up in Kuwait so I have my parents here so it's easier. Best of luck with your job hunt.
@@caleboki2008 Cost of "living". sp.
I am First Nations and I agree with everything you say. The image Canada tried to portray is false and there is a huge cost of living crisis, housing crisis and so much more. It’s so demoralizing living here 😐 it’s so creepy especially when I return from work trips I notice at the airports that there are advertisements for newcomers to apply for credit cards without any credit history, knowing that the job market here isn’t good it’s a predatory and sure fire way to use newcomers to fall into debt with banks
Your whole point about how newcomers are being tricked reminds me of Pleasure Island in Pinocchio. How very sick and inhumane!
Then u don't pay tax and can get a free education. Take advantage
I immigrated to Canada in 2006. In 2018 I left Canada and went back home, broken in all aspects of my life. I totally agree with what you said on this video. Canada is a scam, an immigration casino, an imposture.
At least you have somewhere to go to. I'm a native, & old enough to tell you that this country was a paradise before mass, unregulated immigration & a total abandonment of traditional British manners & conservative values destroyed it. It's a cesspool now. I can see why you all wanted to come here. What I can't understand is why you all brought your ethnic enmities with you to destroy our home. 🤬
Best of luck and hope it turns out well for you. What are you doing these days back home?
Same here! Smelled a rat in 2011.
I live in my homeland, Greece, which is not exactly a developed country, like Germany or the Netherlands or USA or Canada. The wages are low, meaning that we have to count every cent we take to make ends meet, the cost of products is high,housing is really expensive and the only thing that works is healthcare, which is available to anyone without costs,in most cases. I have lived and worked in two developed European countries in the past,three years in the UK and almost six years in Germany. I speak both languages almost influently. Well, Greece may not be developed but I will never leave it again. I have my own house. I have a steady work and I only need about seven minutes (on foot !!) to get to my workplace. In comparison to other people around me, I earn enough money to put at least 150 euros in the side, having covered all my bills and needs. Mind you, I don't earn very good money, just enough to say that I can live almost comfortably and without stress. The weather ? Well, the lowest temperature this winter was something like -1 degrees and this only during the night and it lasted less than two weeks. I reached to the point where I (and everyone else actually) prayed for a little bit of snow maybe ? It's sunshine most of the time and we the Greeks won't miss the chance to go out, have a coffee and socialise with the others. I don't describe paradise now. I earned almost two and a half more money in Germany, but I was always feeling away from home - a stranger, no matter how many people I got to know and make friends with. It's not always about money. To me, there's no place like home. And I guess it's better to fight for your life in the country where you were born, because it is your real home. I was thinking about moving to Canada once, but no, thank you.
good to know, ok
Don't speak too loudly. Do you want the ECB, Goldman-Sachs and your own Greek oligarchs to come and steal what is left in Greece, or have you already forgotten what happened in 2011?

NOT moving to Canada was the best decision in my life💯
I was a landed immigrant in Canada and I became Canadian in 2002...After 20
years I moved back to my home country...Canada showed me that leaving my country was the worst thing I could do: If I would have stay in my country my pension would have been higher, retired at 52 and own a piece of land forever for me and my kids...I got scammed in this dream that I can have a better life...And I had a good life until 2015 when house prices got crazy high...I sold my house and left the country...My Canadian pension is a joke ...
A Canadian Sociology Professor in the 1970s once asked: is Canada a 1st world country or a VERY successful 3rd world one.
It is the third world country, I let you know as I see some other places that Canada call them third world country!
The latter.
Canada is cold hell, if the waether would be so harsh in an asian country, the so called westeners would have banned living in that country and would have called it tourture or something against human rights

@zinithin-8208 I live in a Midwest metropolitan area here in the states. There are about 100k immigrants, they do their best to keep their children away from the negative influences. They also generated $5.8 billion in income and paid $1.6 billion in federal income and payroll taxes, and state income taxes. After paying 28% of their income for taxes, they are left with $4.2 billion in purchasing power. If one has taxable income of $70k(after std deduction, 401k contribution, etc.)in my state, 23.5% will go to income taxes, not 40% to 50% like in Canada, Germany, Sweden. Many of the immigrants here are from Asia or are refugees from the last Balkan war.

As a black American whose origins is Mississippi and growing up in a passive aggressive society I decided to immigrate to Canada. I couldn’t believe the overt racism and the condescending behavior of the people including the immigrants. After 10 years I returned home.
Canadian politeness is a myth. It applies only if you're white, preferably Anglo.
My immigrant family thinks we are a gift to Canada but yet secretly holds in contempt every other ethnic and immigrant group.
Peak Canadian multiculturalism byproduct.
I've lived in a few different parts of Alberta and BC. I noticed that racism was worse in some areas than others.
I do think racism is getting worse. We don't mix and gather as a community but segregate into our different groups. Whether divided by income, class, political or race, we don't really realize that we are even doing it.
I'm sorry that you didn't enjoy your time in Canada. I grew up in a community near where a large number of black families settled in the early 1900s. They had the best Fried Chicken Dinners at their hall. 😋. One of my daughter's best friends is a descendant of that community.
God, what you’ve said is very true. I’m from Africa and was shocked to see the covert racism and passive aggressiveness from Canadians. Les québécois though, they don’t hide their aggression and are very straightforward. I lived in several provinces and I’m not really impressed with Canada. I’m planning to go back to Africa forever for my mental health. My future kids will have a healthier life in Africa.
Wow this is terrible. I’ve only visited canada a few times from the US I wasn’t impressed by the people
I have paid around $100 k as an international student in Canada. I earn around 60k. The thought of even starting a family just makes me paralyzed let alone having a house. Cell phone companies, grocery stores, developer all are monopolies. It became a good investment for the ultra rich to invest in properties where it’s citizens are barely scrapping by. I come from Bangladesh. I am really thinking to go back at least I can afford to have a family and a house.

Every Canadian should see this video. I am a senior citizen and my grown daughter will never be able to afford a home. This country has been destroyed by a corrupt Liberal government. I do agree that immigration needs to stop as there are not enough jobs and housing for newcomers.

I had a Canadian fiancé who I stayed with for 3 years , from Montréal. He wanted me to leave France and come to Montréal and get married. I told him let me come and try Canada, so I went 3 times 2-4 months every time….. we broke up ! No way I was gonna leave France for Canada. Montréal was dangerous , did not feel safe at all , expensive, rundown, infrastructures like bridges, roads , were on the verge of collapse, immigration to the point of invasion, horrible weather , obese people everywhere…. NO!
Was the obese necessary 😂😂
Sounds like Canada is like Paris then.
@JuanCEOs725 Paris is dangerous but always had better infrastructure than any canadian city. Everything is falling apart in Montreal. It is a run down place.
Yea haha sounds like Paris
This expose was a wake up call for me, I own a business that employs several people from other countries. There is no doubt there has been a shift from Canada being a land of opportunity to being a place where you can’t make enough to live a middle class life. Several times taxes were mentioned, Canada has very high tax rates my small business is controlled and taxed by all forms of government to the max. Times are only going to get tougher. The slogan you’ll own nothing is true, the part about being happy, not so much.
My quality of life went down so much in Canada and my standard of living also. I was much better off staying in my country than believing in this stupid place called Canada. What a scam. I wish I had never gone. I got so ripped off out of my life.

(*** A.S. Howdy, to you in Canada, here in Oz, we have parallel scenarios to yours. Today, Tuesday, there was a story on all TV outlets telling us that families are fleeing Sydney.

At 6am, on Monday February 12/23, I boarded a train at Redfern railway station to travel to Liverpool. Between Burwood and my final destination there are 14 stations, and at EVERY one of them, people of non-Anglo/European heritages accounted anywhere between 90, to 95 percent of all the people I observed on the platforms. After alighting the carriage at Liverpool station, I would have passed at least 60 people between then and walking through the turnstile, and across the concourse. Of that number, I did not observe one single person I passed who was of an Anglo/European extraction.
Well, it comes as no surprise, of course, that the Anglo/European demographic in this 17km corridor of suburbs in western, and south western Sydney, is an absolute minority: and it’s been this way for about seven years. What is of significant disbelief, however, is to find that, in the decade since I last travelled on a train heading anywhere west of Strathfield is to realise that, non-AEs have surged from being well in excess of about 60 percent of the people you’d see on the platforms from around the end of 2013, to them now being a minimum of 90 percent of travellers.
The other very striking aspect that struck me on this sojourn, was seeing the plethora of high-rise apartment buildings that exist between Burwood and Merrylands. At a guess, there would be something in the vicinity of 250 high rise apartment buildings, on that stretch. With about 60 of them being crammed into the space/wedge along Parramatta Rd (including those at Olympic Park), just after the exit entry of the motorway.
A notable instance to convey, because I lived in the area many years ago, prevails with the 7 residential buildings that are on the right-hand side of the tracks just before, and adjacent to Granville station. In a bygone time, this location - as it has been the case with scores of other locations right across metropolitan Sydney - was once a light industrial estate. Whereas now, there would be a minimum of 1000, and up to 1200 people residing in these apartments. Needless to say, there isn’t a green space, or an amenity anywhere nearby these rather drab and dreary buildings.
The clear majority of dwellers living in these buildings are Asiatics. A significant chunk of those residing in the glut of buildings in Homebush West, being international students. So, because these souls are from big cities in China, means that they’re able to cope with these mind-numbingly boring circumstances, because it’s what they’ve grown up in.
According to data I’ve obtained from a person (who I’ve known for 11 years) working at the Chinese consulate in Sydney, told me that between November 2014, and November 2023, more than 100,000 people have come the PRC, and now reside in the sphere between Ashfield/Burwood/Homebush West, and Rhodes. This contact also told me that, the total number of ethnic Chinese in Sydney, whether they have a direct link to the PRC, either as immigrants or, being their offspring, is in excess of 620,000 people.
In comparison, in 1990, the number of ethnic Chinese spread across the whole of Sydney was less than 90,000. Hence ethnic Chinese - as it is most certainly the case, albeit more recently, occurs with the surging number of immigrants from India. But whatever group it may be due to MASS migration programs over the past 20-30 years has culminated with these entities forming culturally-insular enclaves.
In conclusion, and apropos to Woolworths not selling products commemorating Australia Day, a significant underlying factor for this occurring, is due to swathes of Sydney, and Melbourne, too, being overwhelmed with people from societies that have no sense of connection to this land.

Thank you for this informative video. Many times I have regretted not moving to Canada. Now I can rest my mind and be assured that I made the correct decision.
As an immigrant who left in 2017 just before all this mess started, I agree with the first 2/3 of the video. I think it’s on point. Where I disagree is the part where Canada is blamed for the choices of immigrants. Where I currently live, there is a complete obsession with immigrating to Canada. I have personally had conversations with people who, despite knowing I returned and hearing what I have to say about the experience, don’t care. They look at my current life and see it as a reflection of what they have already seen…people who return from Canada and the USA are doing much better than locals who stayed and never left. They just can’t and won’t understand that things have changed. The opportunities are no longer the same. Canada is living off past reputation which will take some time to change. I still love Canada don’t rule out returning part time one day to invest, still optimistic about it’s future. Looks like this mess will take some time to sort itself out, so I’m waiting on the dust to settle first. Immigrants need to take some responsibility in this, opportunistic people will use others if given the chance.
Aboslutely, if you try putting some sense into people, they think that you don't want them to come here and you are jealous. Until, the day the realise that we were right all of this time, when they step into this country and try to make a living.
Im so glad people are talking about this. I can not believe how much things have deteriorated here. We pay so much for taxes and for what? Trying to get basic health care here is nearly impossible. Sit in a walk in clinic, you have to get there early in the morning and then be prepared to wait for hours still. You have to take a whole day off work to see a doctor who probably won’t be helpful and if you need a referral, or an MRI or x-ray, haaaa, maybe next year. I can’t stand it here.

It took me a few years to realize thanks to my wife, that my quality of life deteriorated so much compared to what it was in India. High pay means nothing when you cant afford basic necessities. Houses/renting are so high, taxes, utilities..at the end you save nothing. The crime rate and corruption are far worse. Healthcare is a nightmare. I am still amazed how 1000s of people fall victim to this scam especially from India despite knowing the reality. Planning to go back in a year.
Uncontrolled immigration, tribalism, abandonment of Canadian way of living, destruction of Canadian culture, refusal of assimilation, unqualified immigrants more prone to crime. Those all are factors for degrading life in Canada. You may add schizophrenic globalism, corporate greed, dumb PM and disaster is done.
you should definetly leave the sinking ship especially if you have kids . there is absolutely no future for your kids in this open air slave camp .india is not perfect , but one thing for sure , surrounded by family , friends and so on , you wont be depressed .
Don't try to pretend those people from India aren't the major responsible for Liberals to remain in power for so long. Also, please don't pretend a lot of the criminals are Indians or Pakistanis themselves. CBC News always hides news about Indians criminals in the GTA and Vancouver area to avoid creating stereotypes
Bye bye take lots with you
Trudeau used people from India for his purposes. He is one of the globalist.
Thanks for making and posting this video. As a Canadian-born woman, I am struggling financially. Divorced and childless, I have several degrees and have no problem finding a decent job. However, the cost of living has skyrocketed, and I barely get by. I am from Québec and currently residing in Toronto. If I could move tomorrow to a decent, affordable country, I would. It's tough for Canadians born here, so I cannot even imagine how arduous it is for newcomers. And my first languages are French and English, so I understand the struggle in French-speaking Canada as well.
If i knew then what i know now 20 years ago. I would never had came here.
Why?

(*** A.S. Howdy, to you in Canada, here in Oz, we have parallel scenarios to yours. Today, Tuesday, there was a story on all TV outlets telling us that families are fleeing Sydney. Well, the real reason why families are FLEEING Sydney is White Flight. A few years ago, when the leader of the NSW state opposition, MP Mike Daley, stated this reality. ***)
At 6am, on Monday February 12/23, I boarded a train at Redfern railway station to travel to Liverpool. Between Burwood and my final destination there are 14 stations, and at EVERY one of them, people of non-Anglo/European heritages accounted anywhere between 90, to 95 percent of all the people I observed on the platforms. After alighting the carriage at Liverpool station, I would have passed at least 60 people between then and walking through the turnstile, and across the concourse. Of that number, I did not observe one single person I passed who was of an Anglo/European extraction.
Well, it comes as no surprise, of course, that the Anglo/European demographic in this 17km corridor of suburbs in western, and south western Sydney, is an absolute minority: and it’s been this way for about seven years. What is of significant disbelief, however, is to find that, in the decade since I last travelled on a train heading anywhere west of Strathfield is to realise that, non-AEs have surged from being well in excess of about 60 percent of the people you’d see on the platforms from around the end of 2013, to them now being a minimum of 90 percent of travellers.
The other very striking aspect that struck me on this sojourn, was seeing the plethora of high-rise apartment buildings that exist between Burwood and Merrylands. At a guess, there would be something in the vicinity of 250 high rise apartment buildings, on that stretch. With about 60 of them being crammed into the space/wedge along Parramatta Rd (including those at Olympic Park), just after the exit entry of the motorway.
A notable instance to convey, because I lived in the area many years ago, prevails with the 7 residential buildings that are on the right-hand side of the tracks just before, and adjacent to Granville station. In a bygone time, this location - as it has been the case with scores of other locations right across metropolitan Sydney - was once a light industrial estate. Whereas now, there would be a minimum of 1000, and up to 1200 people residing in these apartments. Needless to say, there isn’t a green space, or an amenity anywhere nearby these rather drab and dreary buildings.
The clear majority of dwellers living in these buildings are Asiatics. A significant chunk of those residing in the glut of buildings in Homebush West, being international students. So, because these souls are from big cities in China, means that they’re able to cope with these mind-numbingly boring circumstances, because it’s what they’ve grown up in.
According to data I’ve obtained from a person (who I’ve known for 11 years) working at the Chinese consulate in Sydney, told me that between November 2014, and November 2023, more than 100,000 people have come the PRC, and now reside in the sphere between Ashfield/Burwood/Homebush West, and Rhodes. This contact also told me that, the total number of ethnic Chinese in Sydney, whether they have a direct link to the PRC, either as immigrants or, being their offspring, is in excess of 620,000 people.
In comparison, in 1990, the number of ethnic Chinese spread across the whole of Sydney was less than 90,000. Hence ethnic Chinese - as it is most certainly the case, albeit more recently, occurs with the surging number of immigrants from India. But whatever group it may be due to MASS migration programs over the past 20-30 years has culminated with these entities forming culturally-insular enclaves.
In conclusion, and apropos to Woolworths not selling products commemorating Australia Day, a significant underlying factor for this occurring, is due to swathes of Sydney, and Melbourne, too, being overwhelmed with people from societies that have no sense of connection to this land. Hence, stocking some shelves in many of their stores in Sydney, was a total waste of time because these non-AE groups have no sense of cultural connection to Australia.
Stop voting for governments that spend into oblivion and not pay down the deficit.
From a technical standpoint Canada shouldn’t have been a part of the G7.
I'm a US citizen. Twenty years ago, I was considering moving to Canada.
I'm very glad now that I stayed home in America.
why you wanna move here, it's colder and less oppotunity than US
I'm from England, hoping to move back, stuck here at the moment. Lost both my brothers to suicide, and my parents moved back. I work two jobs and go to school, not sure if I can go on like this. There's no hope here.
Sorry for your loss. I feel so stuck and hopeless here with each passing day
I am so sorry for your losses....😢
Ohh Sorry 😢 .
Please don't say there is no hope. You are still alive.
My granddparents emigrated from England in 1907. They homesteaded, worked very hard, built log house, had no plumbing, electricity, heated by wood they chopped down and cut up themselves. The seven children when they were big enough also worked very hard. We are all still here. You have to be tough - you can do it. Try to get back to your family and home country. Family is really important.
So sorry for your loss. Being isolated and away from support is extremely difficult. You are doing way too much, going to school and working two jobs. That’s incredibly stressful. I hope things improve soon for you.
It's a weird feeling because I see all these nice condos being built all around, nice livable communities, and as I walk through these communities I know it'll never be something I can afford. There isn't a place for people to start out on the bottom anymore, it feels like you're either "in" or you're forever "out". I feel like an outsider in this country even though I was born here. I make $30 an hour, save most of it that I can without going out at all, and feel like I am just treading water above the poverty line.
32 years old and I just finished a degree out in Quebec. Im back in BC and am living in my parents basement because it's way too expensive to afford rent in my hometown. Without the grace of my parents helping me save on expensive rent, I would definitely be living below the poverty line, despite making $35 an hour. This country is in shambles.
Remember this when you vote, for the rest of your life.
There's a reason the Liberals don't run in Alberta, Trudeau senior literally gave the province the middle finger during a campaign stop.
There's a reason in Manitoba they only have 1 seat and are now consistent 3rd party status, all happening after about 3 decades in charge from the 1920s to 50s.
There's a reason they suffered their worst election loss in Ontario in 160 years and the worst election loss of any incumbent government, dropping to 3rd party status that has now maintained 1 election after.
Give Liberals enough time and they'll royally screw over a place. The only reason the NDP grows each time too is because of the sycophants who think the Liberal policy failures were not because of the policies themselves. They are the very same people who look at the Liberals increasing migration numbers to 1.2 million per year, look at the issues that has caused, and think any complaint about that is racist, xenophobic, and fascist -- they are ardent supporters of the very policies that get the Liberals booted from place to place.
@@CanadianEhHole is it better in Alberta and Manitoba, wondering
What’s really weird, is I decided to go for an open house in a nice apartment building just to take a peek… I asked the realtor “it’s very quiet, where is everybody?” He said “they live overseas”
So what’s even weirder is I know when the bubble pops, these buildings will crash in value, become cheap housing, deteriorate and end up looking like garbage after this facade fades.

I really like your channel because the problems you mentioned are very relatable to everyone without your own political view involved. They're all close to home problems that both immigrants and Canadians are facing on a daily basis. I went to college in Canada with a hope that I'd be able to make a living there, but then it dawned on me that there's no future for me. All the problems you mentioned are just too real, even Canadians are struggling so bad, I don't know how my 20 year old self with very little knowledge of the world could make it. I didn't even like the weather. It was too cold for me. I was so depressed. I felt stuck. I'm so glad I don't have to be there anymore. We are lower middle class in Vietnam but even so my quality of life is way better in Vietnam than Canada.
This Dude has figured out Canada than most or others will never Do.

Great comment
I’m a third generation Canadian from Ireland and Italy. I’m currently living in the worst time to make money and afford to live no matter how hard you work. My parents tell me they feel bad for us young ones. We are living in a scam
Born and raised here. I feel tremendously betrayed by our government and institutions. I’m certainly not alone.
I totally agree with you! The quality of life in Canada has decreased drastically. Some how after 12 years here we feel betrayed. The Health Care system with its endless lines, low specialists (it took me 1 year to get seen by a gynaecologist). People with cancer in Ontario should travel from any part to Toronto to get treated and pay all the travel expenses out of the pocket.
I really liked when you asked yourself: what my high taxes are paying for? It seems we don’t have the return we wished for when we immigrated. We’re considering leave Canada.
Canada is nothing but a good PR. Once you get here slowly but surely you will be bled dry. As I always say, Canada from outside is like a red delicious apple in the store display. Once you bite in it you get the first surprise the good looking apple doesn't really taste good. Not sweet, little sour and bitter. As you eat closer to the core yoy find the apple is rotten inside.
Yes, they are trying to lure here highly skilled people but the sad reality is that the requirements for taking jobs are often time way overblown. A technician from Europe can easily handle a job where they are looking for somebody with bachelor. The P.eng are not even real engineers. They are rather specialised lawyers. A have not seen so many inferior highly educated people with bachelor and professionals like in Canada. The only people worth here are the skilled trade how are often time have more brain in their heads like the professional who supposed lead them. For wages doesn't much matter how much you make because more you make, more they tax you and there in no incentive to bust your balls because by the time you get somewhere you will be so tired that you can not enjoy your free time. It did happened with many people and not many enjoy their retirement. Shity weather most of the time, for sure raining on every goddamned long weekend and very little vacation time. You work a lot, everything cost you a lot, shity education, shity health care and even shitier pension if you can make it. Don't come here, it is a trap. They told me this 30 years ago, I didn't believe but now I see. The video is right, hard to leave because you need strategy how to get your money out. The stupid banking system doesn't allow you to wire your hard earned money just like that.
At around 8 minutes in, the math is staggeringly bad. "28 years old and then 3 years later they are 35" -- ya, no man.
Can you please elaborate a bit more on getting money out of Canada? Are you saying it is difficult to retrieve the funds one brings to Canada if they decide to wire them out back to their home country?
@@MrBuckeye401 If you want to experience a cosmic revelation then I suggest you, go to your bank nad ask them if you would have let say 500k in your acount because you sold everything and you whish to transfer this money to another country into a bank account.

There is nothing new about the “Canadian Myth”. For decades many immigrants have come to Canada only to be disappointed with life here for a variety of reasons. The situation is definitely worse now. My wife arrived in 1999, and was surprised at how different things were relative to what she expected. And it’s true, Canadians in general are struggling, not just immigrants. It’s survival of the fittest, not just in Canada but in many parts of the developed world, including the US and UK. I guess anyone thinking about moving to Canada should do their research, and maybe read some online forums before taking the plunge.
As a Canadian born in Canada, it breaks my heart when I meet a immigrant who has recently immigrated to this country and was an engineer or someone with professional status in their native country working in retail or some other position that they take because they are told that their degree doesn't qualify for the type of job they came to this country for. Shameful.
I don’t. I was an international student in Australia. This was when Facebook was brand new.
I was still able to work out a budget by looking at grocery prices, renting costs etc.
It’s inexcusable to come to a country and not do your due diligence. The information is widely available.
They want out of a shitty situation and to bring their family over. It’s all too much too fast. I don’t care anymore to be polite about it.
That falls into the too bad category. You need to do your homework. You can’t just get a job as a doctor without being properly assessed to check you actually have the skills your resume says you have when you come from some shithole country. No sympathy for them. If they don’t like it they can always go back.
@@Hudpix16 ohh you just figured it out now? lol, the channel is all about going back home for lack of opportunities,, not all people are doctors, bring it down a bit Doctor stop being snub.
I assure you, their university diploma usually means nothing. I once talked to someone with an electrical degree and found out their extent of knowledge was house wiring… They aren’t up to snuff. We hire people with those and find out they don’t know anything. It’s so bad that when we see people with diplomas from universities from other countries we disregard it completely. I think a big problem is that a lot of the immigrants basically lie/fluff their way into the country. They think Canada is easy mode, lie to get in, realize their mistake and leave after learning it’s actually hard. I found it hilarious when one guy actually landed a good job and saw the tax took off his paycheque. Like yeah buddy all those free services weren’t actually free, time to pay the piper. Too bad now though you don’t even get services, just pay higher tax lol.
@@zinithin-8208 Lying and thieving seems to be the norm in many of these third world countries, it's how they operate. I've been there, and Canadians are paying the price. You can see that also in Gt. Britain and there is a movement now, via the Govt. to send the illegal immigrants to Rwanda to make their claims for asylum, there. It's about time. There have been so many rapes of young girls, crime, etc. and hygiene issues like raw illegal meat choking up the sewer systems and now that is happening in Canada, (on the news last night. April 25,2024).) Illegal Halal butchers renting double garages in back alleys, with live goats inside, to slaughter in a most inhumane way. They've been caught, at last, but it's been going on for ages. There must be stricter rules told to them on entry that they must adhere to British Law, which is Canadian Law too and must adhere to our standards of hygiene ,culture and non-criminality. We all pay the price through our taxes. Immigration leads to more taxes for established Canadians. Many come here because someone has told them of the Social Welfare system and that they get everything for free. Of course, that is not true. There is a price to pay for goodies, nothing is free, someone is paying and it's probably your neighbours.
My brother came to Canada as a student and became a permanent resident in 2022. He left Canada and came back to his country in 2023. Housing, Healthcare, Homelessness, Crime, Cost of living are all out of control in Canada.

@@paulg6274 Canada has high gun crime relative to many western countries and even India.

@@Abhsjsjdn Canada has 2 murders/100k. Most European countries are about 0.5-1/100k, so it's higher than those but there are a dozen countries well over 20. Global avg is 6.

@@paulg6274 my experience is different, almost every international female student has been raped atleast once in Canada. Common method is when guys pull up cars near bus stops during winter and tell them in smart Canadian accent they will drop them... And they drug them or take them elsewhere and use them. The girls are new to Canada and scared so they don't share. One Punjabi girl I know was caught by 4 Bangladeshi men near Etobicoke.... She had to go to doctor
Born in Canada, living on the border but travel frequently in the US.
As soon as you cross the border into Canada, you see the difference in lifestyle and economic conditions. Our homes and businesses look poorer, more hard scrabble in appearance. People and businesses look like they are struggling and barely holding on. People are generally angry and services limited with abrupt, rude staff. Everything looks run-down. The streets and infrastructure are patched up, insufficient and deteriorated. Bums and trash everywhere.
In contrast the US has attractive, clean, well-kept, nicely decorated homes, many choices of businesses with plentiful stock and friendly, helpful service. Streets and infrastructure well maintained. The US has its poor and abandoned areas too, but generally speaking, the difference in the standard of living and working is quite glaring.
We Canadians are looking more like the Poor Relations than ever.
It is very nice to see others realizing all this and making videos, thank you for that. I immigrated in 2018 and I totally understand you and agree with you. Imagine a place where most of the new comers dreams is going back to where they came from.
Housing is extremely expensive.. Groceries expensive.. Any sort of entertainment is expensive.. Lack of healthcare, quality of education, infrastructure simply is not enough, quality of the homes are bad (Even if I had a million dollars, I do not see myself buying a structure built from card boards in the middle of nowhere to be honest). Wages are low, taxes are high, weather is harsh, there is nepotism. You can't afford to travel.. And after 40 years, you are looking at like a 1000 cad / month for retirement.. If you max your CPP contributions..
It is also very unfortunate for Canadian middle class and blue collar workers. All these immigrants accepting low wages (because they have no other option) and stealing jobs from the Canadians here. Hopefully they know immigrants were misguided as well. They were told there is a lack of workforce here. Clearly it is not the case as many of the skilled immigrants become Uber drivers or warehouse workers. And that creates competition even in the jobs that require no skills.
My biggest dream is going back. I will be the happiest person when I can afford to do so.
Enjoy your stay brother..
Great points! Thank you.
I think most Canadians are aware that you were sold a bad bill of goods.We feel terrible that the most recent immigrants that came in are living in tents and in the cold, Canadians have NEVER gone hungry or un housed like there in now. This is no good for new comers or Canadians as resentments can build in some. I pray things get better for us all soon 🙏
CPP is the biggest scam
When Trudeau is ousted,@@NotSoNiceCanadian69

It used to be good here. I came here 20 years from Eastern Europe. Salaries were competitive, housing was affordable, healthcare was somewhat slow buy manageable.
For around 10 years it was ok.
Then the artificially low intetest rates pushed everyone to speculate into housing. With returns in the TENS of percents per year, every single Slav, Punjabi, Canuck, Quebecker and whatever flocked to buy houses. You already had a house? RENT IT, it will cover the mortgage AND the maintenance.
People started going crazy, Big Short US style. Everyone with a pulse was buying. Low interest , 0 downpayment loans.
Then the foreigners started buying too, because where the hell will you get such returns on your money?
Now, this has been going since 2010. Add Covid inflation and house prices DOUBLED.
On top of this pile of trouble, Trudeau literally took a shit on tbis country by importing milliions of illegals.
You had to wait for 4 years so you could come to Canada through the points system? Not anymore. Just cross the border.
Boom, healthcare and welfare for all arrivals! We are tolerant! Print more money!
And this shit went on for 6 years.
At this point any immigrant like the author will of course think that Canada is a scam. From his point of view, it is.
From mine, it is a vestige of what used to be. A reputation for one of the best living standards for 30 consecutive years ruined in just 2 decades.
If you are thinking of immigrating here now in 2024, don't. Just don't. Eastern Europe is a better choice. Not joking. Good luck
Many Eastern Europeans that come here are quickly shocked and describe Canada as a "village" compared to their high tech cities back home lol
I know many families from Central Europe, that have been living here for 30 years. They sold their houses and moved back to their "home" country. Their parents left Europe because they wanted a better future for their children. The same is happening right now, they are leaving for the same reason.
@@EricLegendary Makes sense, you could buy a house outright and live in a normal society...
The cost of living in Canada is insane, especially when minimum wage is well below the livable wage and the vast majority of jobs are minimum wage. If you want to be able to live by yourself with the current minimum wage you'd need to work around 12 hours a day 6 days a week just to make ends meat, and have fun actually finding a job that'll even offer that amount of hours because most businesses will only hire part time so they don't need to provide benefits. The real estate market is just the extra punch to the gut. Everything is priced out of this world
I wish I could give this video many more likes: 👍👍👍👍👍👍❤ It hits home on many levels.
Now, I should mention that I had a very different experience as an immigrant, but that was *over four decades ago.* Back then, the myths (propaganda) were far closer to the truth.
But the Canada of today is not the country I moved to. This place has rapidly deteriorated over the past decade or two. The economy has ballooned into a *giant real estate bubble* --- that simply cannot continue. The *health care system* is a scam, and I can see that more clearly now that I am older and more in need of it. The middle class is reaching vanishing point, retirement is a mirage, and every adult member of a working household is out there scraping together hours at jobs (that are vanishing) in pursuit of fiat currency that is losing purchasing power every day. I, and several people I know, are looking at opportunities to *escape* to other countries with *more freedom* and where things may be more affordable.
Meanwhile Canada is practically *STEALING* people from countries even poorer (for now) than Canada; countries that spent hard-earned money educating and training those people, and could use them to develop their own economies and societies.
I am very fortunate, and (the old) Canada was very good to me; but most of my life is behind me. If you are young, and you still have family values and dreams of making a better future for yourself and your loved ones, I'd strongly advise you to look elsewhere. Stay away from the cold, broken hell that Canada has become.

I love that immigration is now stealing people, that's hilarious. Immigration was always seen as a good thing for the immigrants and the effect on their countries of departure was ignored completely, most likely because those countries are doomed to be places that people want to leave for a very long time.
What is the cause of all this? Do you think the political party in power and the people above them have a hand in this? Asking because I was seriously considering moving to Canada but now rethinking my decision
@alexmercer8757 This current corrupt government is largely to blame. There is so much corruption it boggles the mind. Don't move here, you'll regret it.

Hello Alex! I am an immigrant in Canada who recently got citizenship. All I can say is, I totally agree with you. Most of the time what waits immigrants here is just misery and exploitation with underpayment and taxes. I am also right now working on my exit plan and hopefully will be out of here soon!
@oguzbayral3825 Glad to hear, thank you!
Me and my wife immigrated to Canada in 2018. We noticed all that stuff you mentioned in your video. However, we were stack because 1 year leasing agreement. After that we decided to stay and get a citizenship. What I would add, we met passive aggressive attitude in big cities and sometimes even discrimination. It’s unacceptable in developed countries. So, we moved back after 5 years of struggling in Canada and now we are more that happy 😊
I came to Canada 9 years ago from Moscow, Russia. Not in search of a better life (the quality of life in Moscow is hard to beat, and I was well familiar with conditions in Canada), but because I was offered to join an interesting research project, I’m a scientist. For the first several years, I had to subsidise my life here with my savings from Russia, and now I’m working on moving back, only with less money than what I came with 9 years ago…
welcome to the real CANADA...lecherous nation..
wow. that is shocking to read.
Go back to Russia 😁 You might join military forces soon! Yaay!
@@maggiekurasiewicz1837 Watch out so that you (or your husband, son etc) don't have to join military forces with this kind of reckless Western foreign politics.
@@pepirotto999 Putin's war against Ukraine has nothing to do with Western foreign politics. It's about imperial expansion. Stop peddling Russian propaganda
