Canada is Sad and Depressing

Theses are just some of my thoughts on the day to day life in Canada. I’ve talked with many people and they experience these things too. Some students commuted suicide in The university of Toronto and in VIU - Vancouver Island University in British Columbia witnessed a suicide by a student recently too.
What are your thoughts and please correct me if I’m wrong. Mental health is important!

I am so flustered with Canada, I just don't get it. Why the frack do people live there!? It's like the only country in the world where it's almost impossible to get a stable income with a trade (even with the oil patch!). It's like everyone and their dog, grandma and great grandchildren was told to learn a trade and go to the oil patch. The job market absolutely sucks in the oil patch. The working conditions suck, the weather sucks and you're treated like garbage. Everyone is bending over backwards for these greedy/cruel oil companies. Wages are stagnating. Work is volatile. Meanwhile in France there's construction everywhere, nobody wants to learn a trade and get dirty. So there are thousands of vacant jobs to be filled and nobody cares. So yeah, I'm a Canadian living in France. Canada can eat my shit and burn, I don't care.

@Image of God i think we are both on different pages, as my points are so far from yours. When i went to University in 1992 I didn't have that privilege and most certainly would have loved a system that allowed me to take a loan to advance myself academically and pay back afterwards. Its not the questions of the number of children per household but that we have a government that has no plans and has never had for its youths nor the elderly. Bear in mind that if the countries that harbour our youths even today for whatever reason had no plans and packages that allows the youths benefit by advancing them edcuational loans and pay back afterwards, this discussion wouldn't even be taking place right now. I maintain that if Nigeria had no plan back then to help its youth advance their careers and still do not have..... Then God help us.

But this shit is real men.....I am a Nigerian and I have been suffering from depression when I was a teenager mainly from pressures from society and parents to be the best especially in academics. I dont really know the actual cause of depression but it happened to me. There are people that are able to manage these pressures so well and there are some that struggle. Through out my academic life I struggled with mental health and suicide thoughts. So I can relate to what you are saying. People especially Nigerian parents should learn to be open and pay attention and talk about mental health issues with their kids, especially during their academic years because this struggle is really tough especially for some very sensitive personalities.

I'm an immigrant to Canada too and I can relate with how you're feeling. It can definitely be difficult to balance your life sometimes. Students have it hard especially because they have so much pressure coming at them from different directions while they are just trying to establish them selves in life. My advice would be to take it a day at a time, focus on the things you can control, and don't get distracted with things that you can't influence or have no lasting benefit to you. Learning to juggle responsibilities and priorities is one of the most important things you can do at your stage of life.

I've worked in psych units for 3 years, and now in corrections for a year and I can tell you firsthand this country is breaking apart. So much corruption in the government - but most of all, we are all taxed to death here and mental health support and resources are limited. It's so damn hard to succeed in this country. 10 years ago my parents bought a house in my home city for 180k, that same house is now worth 500k. I can't afford to live in the city I grew up in - even with a government job. The tax rates are just absurd here too - over 50% of my income goes to taxes. Can't even afford childcare here and rentals are 1500$+ a month everywhere without utilities included. Canada is not an easy place to live by any stretch - and it's a very unforgiving country if you do find success because of the tax rates. People are breaking down and there is little funding and resources available for mental health - the correctional system is also overloaded as more people are turning to crime to survive. The police are also overloaded and scrape by with the funding they have to do their jobs with.

This may not get any traction because this comment is very late, but there is one thing people are only just recently are starting to understand about living in a northern climate. This goes for Canadians who have lived here forever and people who are new to canada. When you live in a northern climate you have to change your diet. You can NOT be healthy on a high carbohidrate diet in a northern climate. You will perk up a little bit in the summer time, but in the winter time you need to take D3 supplements. The other problem is the recommended d3 intake given by the canadian government is wrong due to a miscalculation of a study done almost 60 years ago. It states you need 500 iu's of d3 per day, in reality you need 5000. In the winter time in canada you have to stand in the sun uncovered for over 2 hours, so you are getting NO d3 in the winter. This will cause depression, and weight gain. On top of this, a high carbohydrate diet will also cause depression, and certain plant foods will also inhibit your body's production of vitamin D. This compounds to create a serious mental problem, I myself was suffering from this. Once I cut all sugars and carbohydrates out of my diet and started supplementing d3 all of this went away. There is a reason people from a northern climate subsist on a high fat low sugar diet, because you do not have sunshine to help with the difficiencies in a high vegetable diet, and the vegetables are not available in the winter. So please, if you are coming from another country where it is typically hot, you may think it impossible to give up things like rice, or bread, and fruit, but you must at least try to do it in the winter, aim for less than 20 grams of carbohydrates. If you simply must have some rice, try to limit it to less than 100g, and you MUST exercise heavily the same day to burn up that sugar to keep your insulin levels down, and try to only eat 1 to 2 meals a day. If you do this you will not have to rely on nasty prescription drugs, but please do consult your doctor if you are still feeling depressed, as it could also just be a mental disorder, which could still need some sort of medication.

And I am saying this as a Belgian!!! I have some African colleagues at work here and at least 80 percent of them either want to go back to Africa (one is actually going to start an Afro business there and build his own house) or move to Europe (one of them plans to live to my homeland Belgium and two others in France as apparent the pensions there are way better than the Canadian one) as soon as they get enough experience in canada! None of us at work , including me, want to retire or get old here in Canada! For me personally, it is the Canadian extreme loneliness and lack of willingness to open to others that really shuts me down… I am fed up and and tired of paying taxes in a country where some (not all) hospitals and some retirement homes treat patients like … objects, not human beings! I now understand (as before I did not) why even some of my African colleagues are looking forward to go back to Africa or to some of them, immigrate to Europe! .. none of us want to be left alone and depressed in this so highly individualistic and unfriendly, falsely “cool” country called Canada… a country that claims America and France are racist countries when not even one CEO in Canada is coloured! I am also fed up of Canadians being cool!!!! Cool???? Yes, their humour is crap and they are all too serious… not astonishing why so many end up being depressed or on meds to be able to function! Last: I am fed up with 1. The stupid credit score system which makes North Americans anxious and frustrated!!!! Stupidity does not even exist in France or Belgium where I am from! 2.food is Canada is … not good…lol… really close to being bad! 3.the country is boring… reason… people are so disciplined and nothing happens!!! I just miss Europe even if we are far from being perfect and I prefer our imperfections to the Canadian perfect society which end up making people boring and annoying!!! 4. Canadians are shallow compared to us Europeans 5. Their transit system sucks if compared to Europe 6. Health care system is nothing comptable to what we got in Europe!!!! Result: I leave Canada years before retirement as The last thing I want for me is to remain in a country and get “sunk” Into Canadian depression, Canadian loneliness and Canadian “coolness”. Ohh just as an indicator, it is really rare to see someone who is happy in Vancouver BC these days… the city just looks like a factory to make people work, make Canadian banks richer and pay taxes!
